Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 331 I reflect on myself three times a day
There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a new Celine store in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, which happens to be on Friday.

Friday is always better than Sunday.

The activities ended on Friday, and Saturday was a day off for normal-scale activities, so the holiday on Sunday happened to be connected.

Exactly two days.

Xu Yien and Tian Xiwei made an appointment to meet in Shanghai.

It was faster for Xu Yien to take the high-speed rail from Hengdian to Shanghai, and it was also faster for Tian Xiwei to take a flight from Chongqing to Shanghai.

As long as we can meet, these things won't matter.

After the event, we can still play together in Shanghai for two days. Isn’t that wonderful?

There's no way a phone call is better than being together. After all, there's distance between us through the cold screen.

Even if the smile and words are warm, they can only offset the coldness of the screen.

After all, we are thousands of miles apart.

It is the right of big-name actors to take occasional leave, and they don’t ask for leave for any other bullshit, and they don’t put on airs.

Besides, since the leave is due to an activity, the crew will of course approve it.

Although Tencent has not signed a new contract with Xu Yien, it still values ​​Xu Yien very much, so asking for leave is not a big deal.

It takes several months to shoot a movie. You can't let people go out and focus on other careers, right?
Going out for business activities is not a big deal.

If the actors don't get any exposure and just focus on filming, how much extra money will be spent on publicity and promotion when the show is broadcast?

Xu Yien already has extremely high traffic and popularity, so it is a win-win situation for him to go out and participate in business activities to further increase his exposure.

As for the cost of taking leave to film, it depends on the crew and the investment.

The thing that the crew of "Yu Gu Yao" lacks the most is...

It’s money!
Tencent is a nouveau riche and is not stingy when it comes to investment. It spent so much money on "Fanhua" and still made money.

For example, the role that Kiwi gave Xiao Zeng in filming was to play the supporting male lead or the second male lead.

But Tencent was quite generous and gave Xiao Zeng two martial arts dramas with male protagonists, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "Who's the Hero?"

When it comes to investing, I am really willing to spend.

While the filming is still in progress, many advertisers, brands and Tencent are already discussing placing advertisements and brand collaborations for "Yu Gu Yao".

Tencent is confident that it can make a lot of money from "Yu Gu Yao" starring Xu Yien.

Because Xu Yien's commercial value is here.

Tencent is very satisfied with the current situation. The appearance of this ancient costume drama is good enough, and the lead actor is responsible for the success of the drama and the main investment. The broadcast effect is not yet known.

Not to mention the broadcast effect and the acquisition of new members, the company has made a lot of money from advertising and brand collaborations.

For example, several advertisers have entered the market for the drama "Miss You So Much". It is very normal for idol dramas to be broadcast without advertisements nowadays, and it is also a difficult achievement to have advertisements for the entire series.

The main reason is that many actors nowadays will not choose to act in contemporary idol dramas, because the broadcast of contemporary idol dramas is indeed disadvantageous and the number of viewers is relatively small.

In just a few years, there are only a few current idol dramas that have achieved relatively good results. "You Are My Glory", "Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling", "The Way Home", and "Can't Hide" are all very popular dramas. "You Are My Glory" can even be said to be a small hit.

For example, "Camp with Love" broke the Mango ceiling, which is very impressive.

Although the average number of views per episode of "Where the Wind Is" is only 2080 million, it is still a hot topic. Feifei and Li Xian still have some foundation to carry the show, but the ratings are really average. It is amazing that the ratings are so low at the beginning of the year.

Of course, we cannot favor one over the other, and we cannot only talk about the bad things without mentioning the good things.

Feifei and Li Xian are both good at attracting investment, and the investment effect of this drama is quite good.

It is considered as Mango's historical champion, but this historical championship was soon broken by Bai Mengyan and Wang Hedi.

But no matter how you look at it, it’s a new peak, right?
Although it’s not as hyped up as Feifei’s fans, it’s really good.

Mango TV even made a variety show with the same name called "Go Where the Wind Is";
Mango TV is quite good at this kind of modern drama.

Song Qian also starred in another drama called "Another Blue" with Zhou Yumin, which is also a modern idol drama of this type.

We can’t have too high expectations for “Where the Wind Is” because it is also broadcast on Mango TV.

Mango TV is even worse than Cool Factory.

For example, the champion of Mango TV in 2021 was the billion-dollar "Song with You", with an average of less than 500 million per episode. The platform's upper limit is pulled up every year by top dramas, and it has increased rapidly in the past two years.

"Camp with Love" had 2635 million viewers, and advertisers were very satisfied with the broadcast results.

I guess only Gucci is not satisfied, because Bai Mengyan doesn't look good in Gucci.

When the day came, I said hello to Meng Ziyi and the rest of the crew.

Meng Ziyi said: "I have to go to the event again, come back early."

"Yeah, I know." After saying that, Xu Yien took the employees on the bus and took the high-speed train to Shanghai together.

All expenses in Shanghai are paid for by CEO Celine!
These are all costs that the brand needs to include, because the initial platform costs are already included in the endorsement fee.

It's all written in the contract. Celine will reimburse the expenses, but each new platform fee will have to be paid afterwards. What's the point of endorsing a brand by doing free platforms more than a dozen times a year?

There is really no need and no possibility, unless a celebrity of average status goes to lick the brand.

If this is the case, the brand will naturally be a little more aloof.

The brand's warmth also depends on who it is for. These days, everyone treats people differently based on their status, so there's nothing much to say.

If you don't understand this principle, there's no point in doing business.

Understand the applause!

After learning that Xu Yien was coming to Shanghai to participate in an event, Cheng Xiao, who was still staying at home, invited her to come to my house to play games. However, Xu Yien had to reunite with Xiaotian after arriving in Shanghai, so she had to refuse.

The words in Cheng Xiao's WeChat message were full of dissatisfaction.

I didn't even say I was in love with you.

You slept with me once, and I didn't pester you to be my boyfriend. But you never even come to my house when you come to Shanghai.

You haven't played games with me these days. You are really a bad person and have a problem with your character.

But you have to come even if you have character problems. I like people like you.

Finally, Xu Yien came up with a compromise plan, arranging Saturday for Xiao Tianer and Sunday for Cheng Xiao. This plan should be the simplest.

I told Cheng Xiao that I would go to her place on Sunday. She was obviously very happy and replied: "Sure, I'll wait for you. Do you want to play games tonight?"

At least it adds a touch of color to her boring life of playing games. She now feels that it would be great if the male lead in her idol drama was Xu Yien.

Although there is a good play with Xu Kai in the next play, the one with Mr. Luo in the fastest line, "Good Words and Beautiful Paintings", is too torturous. He is short and thin and it seems that it is doomed to fail.

Xu Yien responded: "Not tonight. I'm going to have a late-night snack after the event, so I can't play."

Cheng Xiao shook his head and sighed, then continued, "Take me with you to eat."

"Are you willing to come out? You say that, but I guess your midnight snack will be self-heating hot pot and Coke."

"Wow, you really do understand me. I really don't want to go out, so you can order takeout for me."

"Okay, I'll order it for you then. What do you want to eat?"

She said self-deprecatingly, "You decide. I'm not picky about food, and I don't have high standards for quality of life. Look at my room, it's a mess, like a pigsty."

But it’s not wrong in itself.

Indeed it is.

The bedroom and the room are not too messy, and the dressing room is indeed almost the same as a pigsty, but this is just a rhetorical device. It is just messy, not dirty.

Xu Yien chuckled, "OK, little pig."

"What little pig? I'm not Show Luo."

"A nickname isn't okay? Fat little pig Xiaoxiao, okay, that's it. I have to go get my makeup done. You know Celin's event is tonight."

"Then you are not fat, you are the thinnest."

"Why are you being so sarcastic?"

"Just teasing you, I'm going to get off first."

"Okay, that's it for now. I won't bother you anymore. Remember to come over the day after tomorrow."

Finished communicating with Cheng Xiao.

Xu Yien also has something emotionally concerning.

Song Qian has disappeared recently and the contact between the two has become less and less.

There's probably no need to mention this. If they don't keep in touch, they will gradually break up. So Xu Yien has to find some time to visit Song Qian recently, at least to maintain the relationship.

She is also very Buddhist. If you don’t contact me, then forget it.

If you are still in contact, then keep talking. If you have broken up, then stop talking for a while and just live a simple and leisurely life.

I'm not the type who's keen on falling in love.

Don’t say you are sad when you are breaking up, because no one can live happily without the other.

Buddhism is the true reflection of her inner self. Will she die if she doesn’t fall in love?
The main reason is that Song Qian is very fulfilled in her career. She basically starred in Mango TV dramas afterwards, and occasionally participated in business activities and performances.

The rest of the time... I raise pigs for fun. The pigs have grown a lot bigger recently, and I feel they will probably weigh several hundred kilograms in the future.

In the hotel room, Xu Yien started to let Xia Mei and Xia He do their makeup.

The clothing style worn by the spokesperson for Celine is definitely different from that of Burberry.

A slightly messy 3:7 side back, a sexy leopard print scarf tied around the neck, a simple black T-shirt on the upper body with a Celine iconic short jacket, and black tight jeans on the lower body with high-top Chelsea boots.

Xu Yien's overall look today is very coquettish.

It’s a pity that Xu Yien didn’t keep her long hair.

Just like an electric eel with long hair, it looks handsome if it is thin, but looks like a big aunt if it is fat.

If Xu Yien had long hair, her outfit today would be even more enchanting.

The word "weird" here is a compliment, because it is indeed very handsome.

Masculinity is good, but being weird is another style.

Just like Lanling King Gao Changgong, he was beautiful and brave in battle.

But Xu Yien’s bravery and fighting skills are not for fighting, which is something everyone knows.

hehehe~
Xia Mei pondered for a moment, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Boss, this look is really good."

Xia He agreed, "It feels completely different from when I was the spokesperson for Burberry. It feels very sexy."

"Let's skip the praise part and leave it to the Yimi guys. Just hurry up and get the pictures."

Xu Yien waved his hand and started today's shooting and picture-shooting session. The studio sent the pictures to fans, who would flatter and brag in various ways.

The key is that the boasting is very reasonable and distinctive, and it doesn't make people feel too exaggerated.

Because what he said was all true. Besides, if the exaggeration was too great, Xu Yien would not believe it.

I examine myself three times a day and have a clear understanding of my own position.

Otherwise, it will be easy to be "bewitched" by fans and become a greasy prince.

The key is if it becomes like that.

It's hard to change back.

Fans will continue to defend their idols. In fact, they know that it is greasy and pretentious, but they have been following them for so long and are reluctant to tell their idols the truth.
