Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 6: Drama Promotion Increases Fans
After filming for a few days, Xu Yien went to "River God" alone for an interview.

To be honest, it is still a bit difficult to face such a strong opponent like Li Xian.

Because Li Xian's overall feeling is more like Guo Deyou, role fit is also an important dimension.

Because Xu Yien is too fair.

This is a problem.

When they arrived at the interview room, Li Xian was the only one in the room besides the director, screenwriter and staff. The two greeted each other, shook hands, and began the audition.

The audition is just the interviewer speaking the lines with a deadpan expression, but you have to immerse yourself in the role and perform it, which is extremely easy for both Li Xian and Xu Yien.

But the result of the audition was not ideal.

It’s not because Xu Yien’s acting is bad.

Just because Li Xian’s acting is not bad.

Since they are all small-time celebrities with connections, the strength of their relationships is roughly the same, so they will basically not be treated unfairly.

The reason is simply that Li Xian is a rougher man than Xu Yien. Their figures are actually not much different, but Li Xian's skin is darker. In terms of role fit, Li Xian wins.

Xu Yien was not discouraged and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Li Xian was very happy. He hugged Xu Yien and said, "I also hope to have the opportunity to work with you."

Just leave the interview room.

If you lose, you lose.

This is also common in the entertainment industry.

Anyway, Xu Yien's role in "Guardian" is equivalent to having pension insurance in the future. It's just that every drama he performs and auditions now will be experience for other in-depth themes in the future, and will also be nourishment for the actor. Young actors can still act in idol dramas in their thirties, but they really can't do that when they are in their forties.

Transformation is inevitable as you get older, but if you become extremely popular and have basically made enough money during those few years at the top, transformation does not seem to be a necessary condition.

No one is always eighteen years old, but there is always someone who is eighteen years old. China has a limited population, so of course, star-chasers will gradually choose newcomers who are younger and younger.

Otherwise, what would you want from an old man?
Are you not popular?

Do you have no acting skills?

After drinking a cup of hand-ground coffee, Xu Yien returned to the Shanghai crew to continue filming.

The crew of "Guardian" started promoting the drama in advance. Now, even if a drama or movie has just started shooting not long ago, it must be promoted in advance.

Attract the attention of passers-by and make the audience look forward to it, so that they will be the first to watch it when it is released.

When the official Weibo of "Guardian" posted about Zhao Yunlan, book fans didn't feel anything special.

For film and television IP dramas, as long as they are not too incongruous, they are basically acceptable.

But after the final photos of Shen Wei, the Black Robe Envoy and Ye Zun were released.

The onlookers and book fans were excited.

"At first I didn't know Xu Yien, and as a book fan I wanted to curse when I heard his name, but then I saw these photos and I was so surprised by how handsome he is. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"P's big fan expressed satisfaction with the actor and hoped the film would be an ambiguous brotherly relationship without a forced female lead or homophobic tactics. Finally, I suggest that those who plan to rewrite the story should support the author's copyright and read this article. I'm optimistic about this Shen Wei, who was born in 95 and is really handsome!"

"@九命相柳只粉, that handsome Xu Yien is going to film a novel I really like, so excited!"

"Reply to the above: Wow! This silver-haired guy is so handsome, I think he can stand in for my husband Xiangliu!"

Book fans are quite satisfied with the three sets of Xu Yien’s makeup photos. These two are the chosen Wei Lan. I’m sure they are the perfect match!

Seeing how handsome he was, the onlookers naturally paid more attention to him.

In the past two days, Xu Yien's popularity has continued to soar, and even his Weibo followers have increased by over 100,000. Reba, who was busy filming a commercial, liked the drama's Weibo post.

When a Weibo account likes someone’s post, it will be seen by others.

Not to mention top female celebrities like Reba who have millions of fans.

Look, marketing accounts have started to give Xu Yien popularity again.

They said that Reba was just doting on her son-in-law and would like every post to help promote her new drama, but the Alices denied it in unison, saying that Dilraba's account was managed by the staff.

After a while, fans started to set up various websites, and more and more fans came to the crew to visit the two leading actors these days.

They think the casting is very fitting and are looking forward to the final product that will be aired. Bai Yu and Xu Yien are also very enthusiastic towards these fans, and they usually buy drinks or snacks when they come.

The original big production has turned into a poor web drama. Before, when fans came to visit the set, the director would ask the production staff to buy milk tea, which was generous. Now it is not possible anymore, and Xu Yien and Bai Yu have to treat them at their own expense.

After the official announcement of the drama, various bulletin boards and entertainment forums began to release leaks about the two, especially the discussion on the novel was very intense.

There are those who are pessimistic about it, and those who look down on the novel, but overall most people praise it.

In particular, the clothing styles and temperament of the two people in the Reuters photos are quite consistent with the original work, which is worthy of praise in today's era of big IP.

The crew also took the opportunity to play the victim, saying that the investment had been withdrawn, and asked fans to promote the show when it is aired, because the crew had calculated the cost.

By the time we were halfway through post-production, we were basically out of money.

Where will they get the money to promote the show during the broadcast? They don’t have the resources!
I received a call from Reba, but Xu Yien was filming, so I didn't answer it.

Call back at your leisure.

When Reba answered the phone, Xu Yien said apologetically, "Sorry, I was filming just now."

"You're not busy with anything else, and I know you'll definitely answer the phone while you're fishing."

"What's wrong? Or do you have any emotional problems you want to consult me ​​about?"

"What should I say if there's a nerd who doesn't know I like him?"

Xu Yien smiled and answered his question: "Then just be honest."

"Really? But I want him to confess his feelings to me, what should I do?"

"I don't know about that either. I rarely fall in love."

"That's fine, do you have time?"

"Yes, I have."

"I didn't, huh!" After saying that, Di Lieba hung up the phone arrogantly.

Xu Yien just felt confused.

No?

So what's the point of asking me if I have time?

Xu Yien wasn't pretending to be stupid at this moment; he just couldn't react for a moment. Bai Yu, who was drinking happy water nearby, saw his strange expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Yien shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing, I just ran into a female ghost!"

"Dilraba?"

"How do you know?" The two are good friends now, so Xu Yien didn't avoid the subject.

Bai Yu chuckled and said jokingly, "You don't have any other scandals. Who else could it be if not her? Could it be Yang Mi? Look at you, you're such a fool."
