Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 641: Big Head and Small Field, No Worries When It Rains (6k words)
On December 12, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was officially released.

The pre-sale box office exceeded 4000 million.

The first day box office plus pre-sale box office exceeded 9000 million.

Without a doubt, it exploded again.

This trend is not much different from "The Accidental Murder".

No matter what, the goal is to achieve a box office of 1 billion.

Maoyan's box office forecast is 12.36 billion.

The high box office on the first day is mainly due to the strong combination of Chen Sicheng and Zhu Yilong.

Just one month after winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, his new movie was released.

With such efficiency, people will naturally come here to visit.

The marketing promotion of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" on Douyin is very exciting.

The video mashups are all very cool.

It's hard for a movie to flop at the box office.

The marketing point is Guan Yu and killing a cultist with one shot, or the chase scene at the beginning of the marketing.

Overnight, TikTok was flooded with edited videos.

It would be impossible without investing in Doujia.

This is the budget for publicity and promotion.

Nowadays, many movies’ publicity and promotion expenses are placed on major social media platforms, especially video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

There are also many videos that have hundreds of thousands or even millions of likes.

"It's no problem for the nine Holy Grails to request permission to resign. This shows how much Guandi dislikes this evil cult."

"I heard that in Fujian, nine Holy Grails can get you a bank loan of 100 million."

"Nine Holy Grails! Even Guan Yu wants to do it himself."

"What's the point of giving nine Holy Grails? What are the odds?"

"Nine Holy Cups, 9/1 chance. If you can roll it right in front of a CEO in southern Fujian, he might hire you and provide you with a lifetime of wealth. Or if you're looking for investment in a startup, if the investor rolls nine Holy Cups, he'll invest in you that very day. Even if he loses, he'll think he's taking advantage of your good fortune and won't be blessed himself."

"Just finished watching it, and I declare this the coolest movie of the year."

"This movie is so cool, so cool. I won't spoil it for you all, just go and see it."

"Zhu Yilong looks quite handsome in this look, with a loose suit, flowing long hair, and a devilish smile. He doesn't look greasy and is still very handsome."

"Zhu Yilong is so handsome that I am grinning from ear to ear. Guilin boy is so handsome!"

"That massacre in the auditorium where those who refused to repent did not deserve to live, that made sense.

Zhu Yilong’s acting is great. The scene where he shaves his beard and cries, and the scene where he is executed by firing squad, made me cry.

The cat-and-mouse game between Shen Guilin and Chen Hui, which ended up showing a certain sympathy for each other, was very relatable.”

"The second place player never knew until his death that Shen Guilin was here to compete in the qualifying match."

"Zhang Yishang is so sexy in the movie. I went to see it. Her hemispheres are beautiful, and her long legs are beautiful. When Xiaomei lowered her head, my heart was broken."

"I really started to like Zhu Yilong. Because of this movie, I watched all his movies."

The movie itself is of decent quality.

Add to that the selling points of “cool” and “violent aesthetics”.

Not to mention that it is a suspense action film produced by Chen Sicheng, so it is hard to imagine a low box office.

Some viewers may scoff at Chen Sicheng's realistic films.

But Chen Sicheng is filming a suspense film, with suspense and action?

Isn't this just a brainless charge?

The reason why Korean movies are so popular on the mainland Internet is because they dare to make them.

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" dared to be filmed and was able to be released in mainland theaters, so it will naturally have a large audience and a high box office is inevitable, not to mention the combination of Chen Sicheng and Zhu Yilong.

A gold medal commercial director and a newly crowned Golden Rooster Award winner, need I say more?

Chen Sicheng is ready to open the champagne.

Tomorrow we will go on a roadshow in several cities with the crew of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils". Dai Mo will be fully responsible for the scenes of "The Third Brigade" for the next five or six days.

"Hahahaha, Yien, do you regret not acting now?" Chen Sicheng gave Xu Yien a bear hug and said with a raised eyebrow.

Xu Yien crossed his arms and said calmly, "Everything is as I expected."

"Really?"

"It is a must."

Chen Sicheng pointed at Xu Yien, revealed a mischievous smile, and said jokingly: "Don't be stubborn on the outside, or you'll regret it secretly."

Xu Yien said jokingly, "How could that be? I'm more confident in my own film. Not to mention that even though I didn't play the role of Guilinzi, I also invested money in it, so I'm just waiting for the profit sharing."

As the second lead in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", Bai Yu can naturally boast about his box office success.

Although Chen Hui does not have many scenes or highlights, his fighting scenes are impressive enough.

Bai Yu followed Xu Yien's lead and said, "Everything is the best arrangement. Yien took out this script but didn't act it himself. Doesn't that mean he has better options, such as our current Third Brigade?"

"That's right, what Lao Bai said is right." Xu Yien chuckled, "Okay, you guys go to the roadshow and open the champagne. The rest of the brothers and I will stay alone in the empty crew and film the show honestly."

"Don't say that. You're the soul of our Zhou Chu crew, the real screenwriter, not to mention the art director. It's really strange for you to say that."

Chen Sicheng smiled sideways.

Wei Chen ate melons, as if he had suddenly realized something: "Oh? This script was provided by Yi En?"

"Yeah, yes, he's very talented. He can write songs and scripts."

Xu Yien quickly said, "Don't embarrass me, I just have a little understanding, that's all.

I just provide a general plot, and the rest is filled in by other writers."

"No matter what, you are the one who has made the greatest contribution. You should not be too modest."

Chen Sicheng said so.

……

……

Chen Sicheng took Bai Yu to the roadshow.

The crew was free.

Although Dai Mo was the director, the number of scenes shot in a day was less than before.

Filming is relatively leisurely, but also very tiring. Sometimes shooting night scenes requires us to work day and night in reverse.

Wearing a pilot cotton jacket with the Third Brigade logo printed on the chest, Xu Yien took a set of business photos and also made a cheering video for someone he knew.

Dai Mo walked over to Xu Yien and asked with a smile, "What are you filming again, Yien?"

Xu Yien replied: "Oh, I'm just making a video to cheer for my friend, what's up, Director Dai?"

Although Chen Sicheng is the backbone of the crew, Xu Yien and Dai Mo are also quite familiar with him.

After all, we have been filming for so long.

"I just wanted to chat with you when I'm free." Dai Mo said with a smile: "If you have a good script, can you let my brother shoot it for me next time? I think the feeling of Zhou Chu eliminating the three evils is quite good."

Hearing this, Xu Yien laughed and said, "Okay, if there are any good movie scripts in the future, I will definitely ask Director Sicheng to shoot it for you, Director Dai. I fully recognize your directing ability."

Dai Mo chuckled and said, "Your compliment makes me very happy."

It is not him who decides what kind of movie he makes, but Chen Sicheng who decides. He also wants to make an action movie, but he has no chance.

Who made Chen Sicheng assign the filming of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" to Cui Rui and Liu Xiang?

Xu Yien promised, "Next time there is a good script, I will definitely think of you."

The premise is that there is really a good script.

There aren't always good scripts...

This depends on fate.

It is now 11:30 in the morning. There is no filming in the morning, so everyone is preparing to go eat hot pot.

We had Chaoshan beef hotpot.

Chaoshan beef hotpot is very popular all over the country now. It is estimated that there are thousands of stores. Even if many of them go bankrupt, it depends on whether the operators have a conscience, otherwise they will not be able to stay open for long.

Hotpot is suitable for eating in winter. After eating it, you will feel warm both physically and mentally, which is so comfortable.

At the dinner table, Wei Chen asked, "Hey Yi En, did you record your doppelganger lover?"

"I've recorded it," Xu Yien replied, then asked, "Is the copyright ready?"

Wei Chen explained: "Yes, the copyright is ready. You said you wanted to release it before the New Year, so I helped you with the copyright. Now it's in place. You can ask your agent to look over the copyright contract and sign it."

Giving a thumbs up, Xu Yien thanked him: "Thank you so much, Brother Chen, you are my god!"

Wei Chen said with a grin, "Alright, alright, it's no big deal."

Wang Xiao was curious: "What's going on?"

Cao Bingkun told him: "It's just Yi En covering his songs, it's that simple."

"Oh, that's good too."

"By the way, Yi En, "The Storm" will be broadcast next month, and we must actively promote it then." Wang Xiao continued.

Wang Xiao can be considered an upgrade, and now plays supporting roles in TV series and movies.

But after "Storm", he also played the leading role.

I have collaborated with Tian Xiwei on a suspenseful TV series called "Low IQ Crime". The original work is by Zijin Chen, the original author of "The Silent Truth" and "The Hidden Corner". It's a good job no matter how you look at it.

TV series adapted from Zijin Chen's novels usually have good broadcast results.

This "Low IQ Crime" will probably be the same.

Xu Yien smiled and said, "Of course we will. This drama is going to be a big hit, and the whole crew will have to eat at the table!"

"hey-hey."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very cheerful.

Full of wine and food.

In the afternoon, Xu Yien also went to the studio to shoot the brand's advertisement.

The brand came here specially to accommodate Xu Yien's shooting, which shows their sincerity.

What more could you ask for?

This is the case with so many brands I endorse that I have to find time to shoot the materials.

You have to make time for it even if you don’t have time. The brand has paid so much money, so you must ensure that the contract is completed.

This time we shot the official advertisement of Pure Enjoyment and the new global materials of Bottega Veneta.

After finishing the filming, I returned to the crew around six in the evening to continue filming.

"Hi!"

When Xu Yien returned to the crew, he saw Tian Xiwei standing next to Wei Chen, shaking her head and greeting him.

It can be seen that the two were chatting before.

Xu Yien was puzzled: "Aren't you filming Yun Zhi Yu in Hengdian?"

"Hehe, I missed you, so I asked for leave to come here."

Tian Xiwei expressed her longing directly without any hesitation.

Xu Yien hugged her and said softly, "That's thoughtful of you."

Tian Xiwei made a funny expression, very much like Wangzai.

"Okay, how many scenes do we have left to shoot today?"

"We still have one night scene left, so we'll call it a day after we finish filming."

"Then I'll stay with you on the set."

"How long have you been here?"

"About ten minutes, a surprise for you. I just asked the director and found out you're shooting a commercial. What kind of thing is it?"

"A yogurt endorsement and new materials for BV."

Tian Xiwei gave a thumbs-up with an exaggerated expression and said with a smile: "As expected of the domestic entertainment luxury brand!"

"That's really nice." "Did you promote Meng Ziyi with these resources? And you even made the official announcement on her birthday."

Tian Xiwei's expression and tone suddenly became weird, and her words were particularly vague.

Xu Yien raised his hands and pinched her round face. "What? Are you jealous?"

Tian Xiwei said indifferently, "No, do I look like someone who would be jealous?"

"Really?"

"fake."

"Are you hungry? Have you had dinner?"

It’s not that Xu Yien has nothing to say, it’s mainly because she is a little glutton.

Tian Xiwei denied: "Eat shit, I just got here, it's only six o'clock now why should I eat dinner? I just had some bread, I'm not particularly hungry now, I'll just eat with you later."

"Then you have to ask our Weiwei what she wants to eat tonight. It's up to you."

"Eat you up~"

After saying that, Tian Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled evilly on purpose.

"It's not impossible."

"It's been so long since we last met, I want to kiss you right now."

"It's not possible here, come with me." Xu Yien took her hand and walked towards the RV again.

The employees had just come out of the RV. There was no one inside, so they locked the door. The two of them sat on the sofa and hugged each other for a long French kiss.

It was not until they were short of oxygen that their lips parted, and Tian Xiwei's lipstick was smudged.

She took two wet wipes from her bag and wiped her mouth, staring at the lipstick on Xu Yien's lips and said, "Does the lipstick taste good?"

"Lipstick doesn't taste good, but lips do." Xu Yien replied.

Tian Xiwei also wiped Xu Yien's mouth with a resentful look on her face, "You lied to me, you said Sister Tong didn't know, but it turned out she knew it a long time ago."

"She knew it a long time ago, but I don't want to put pressure on you."

"Bah, you just want to pua me."

"How could that be possible?"

"If Sister Yitong hadn't told me, how long would you have kept this secret from me?"

"Okay, it was wrong of me to hide it from you. I'm sorry."

Tian Xiwei's big, watery eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "How are you going to compensate me?"

"You want compensation?"

"It is a must."

Xu Yien asked frankly: "Then what do you want? Just ask for it."

Tian Xiwei said seriously, a little annoyed: "What are you thinking about? What else can I ask of you? I just want you to stay a little longer tonight!"

I'm not asking you for resources, what do you think of me?"

Besides being angry, he also felt a little aggrieved, as if he was making an accusation.

Xu Yien laughed dryly: "Okay, it's my fault."

"Hehe! Just kidding!" Tian Xiwei's expression changed 180 degrees. "Are you scared?"

"Nervous." Xu Yien was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"The truth is, I've become desensitized and don't care anymore. Sister Tong didn't say anything anyway, so there's nothing I can say. After all, I've known you're a scumbag for so long, right? Well, it's just a small matter that can be resolved by just thinking it through. Alas~"

Tian Xiwei's words were very unconventional.

Xu Yien patted her head and said simply, "Okay, I'm going to film. If you want to eat something, just take it from the refrigerator. There's some in the cupboard too. We can't let our little glutton go hungry."

"That's enough. Let me be serious and make it clear that I am not a good-for-nothing."

"Okay, you're not a glutton, you're a big head."

Tian Xi frowned slightly, his tone slightly angry: "I'm not a big head either!"

honestly……

Tian Xiwei’s head is indeed a bit big, but not as big as Zhao Jinmai’s.

There is no harm in having a big head except that the head-to-body ratio is not very good.

I heard that people with big heads are smart.
If the head-to-body ratio is not good, you will not be very popular in the fashion circle, because you will look a bit silly and odd-shaped. Xiaotian has this feeling. Sometimes if the clothes are not matched well, he will look like a big-headed doll.

After leaning in and kissing her, Xu Yien said, "You are my girlfriend no matter what. These are just terms of endearment."

"Okay, focus on filming. I'll be waiting for you here. If it takes a long time, I'll stay with you on the set."

"It's cold outside, just wait for me here."

Tian Xi pouted slightly and saluted comically, "Okay!"

Xu Yien walked out of the RV and was about to change clothes and put on makeup when Wei Chen asked, "Is the song "Doppelganger" for her?"

This question was not easy to answer, but it would be bad not to answer it, so Xu Yien replied briefly with a "hmm."

It took more than an hour to finish the simple photo shoot.

A little after eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Yien finished work and took his employees back to the RV.

Tian Xiwei was scrolling through her phone. When she saw him come back, she stretched and said, "I've been waiting so long that the flowers are almost withered!"

"go for meal."

"gogogo!"

Tian Xiwei hugged Xu Yien's arm. Fortunately, all the employees were there, otherwise Tian Xiwei would have come up and kissed him fiercely.

"You haven't told me what you want to eat today, so don't ask me back. If you ask me back, I'll say it doesn't matter. At worst, we can all go hungry tonight. Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said?"

"All I can say is - buddy, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Let the employees drive the RV back to the hotel first, and Xu Yien and Tian Xiwei drove to eat alone.

RVs are a bit too eye-catching, while ordinary sedans are more low-key.

Walking beside Xu Yien, Tian Xiwei took a cheerful step, "So, should, maybe, what should we eat tonight?"

Xu Yien raised his eyelids and said, "I told you to decide."

"Hehe." Tian Xiwei hugged her arm and smiled: "I am your little wife, I listen to you. You are the overbearing president, you should decide what to eat."

Xu Yien: "Nonsense."

Tian Xiwei: "I'm not kidding, seriously, I'm not picky about food, I'll eat whatever you want me to eat."

Xu Yien: "Really? I don't believe it."

Tian Xiwei: "Don't talk nonsense, just decide for yourself!"

Xu Yien: "Okay, okay, then I'll take you to a restaurant I like recently? Then I'll take you to eat some sweet soup, that's it."

Tian Xiwei: "That's right! Gogogo!"

Xu Yien drove her to the restaurant they had stayed at last time. Tian Xiwei got out of the car, looked at the nearby shops, and casually asked, "Which one is it?"

Xu Yien responded: "That one, the local dishes are very delicious. I will take you there for dim sum tomorrow. The dishes here in Guangdong are fresh and sweet. You like sweet food anyway, so you should like it."

Tian Xiwei: "Okay."

This restaurant is delicious, but there is one drawback, which is that you have to queue.

In order to keep a low profile, Tian Xiwei went back to the car first, and Xu Yien lined up to pack up the food to take home.

This time I ordered shrimp paste ribs, pineapple with sand sauce, salted egg yolk chicken wings and pork offal porridge, and two cups of coconut ice for drinks.

More than half an hour had passed when they picked up the food. Tian Xiwei, who was sitting in the car, was so hungry. Fortunately, she had just taken some cake from the RV refrigerator, otherwise she would have had a stomachache.

"Finally you're back! I was starving!"

“We’ll eat as soon as we get back to the hotel.”

Tian Xiwei looked through the takeaway box and nodded heavily: "Yeah."

When I got back to the hotel, the first thing I did was to eat at the coffee table.

There is no floor heating in the south, and you can't eat on the ground, so you can only eat by bending over on the sofa, or holding a lunch box.

This is what Tian Xiwei did, but she complained that her back and waist ached from bending over to eat.

Xu Yien laughed, "So why didn't you eat at the table by the window? Why did you have to eat here?"

"I'm hungry, okay?"

Tian Xiwei narrowed his eyes slightly.

She added: "You should reflect on why you let your girlfriend go hungry instead of mocking me for eating here and not caring about my back pain."

Xu Yien laughed: "That's a bit exaggerated, darling."

"Tsk~" Tian Xiwei also smiled and continued to eat with relish.

The party ended with a toast with coconut ice.

Even though it is winter, Tian Xiwei still feels that it is more enjoyable to drink cold beverages, except during menstruation.

I heard that foreigners drink ice water to relieve pain during menstruation, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. Don’t believe everything said in the short video.

Xu Yien looked at the food that was swept away and rubbed her hair. "Are you full?"

"If this still isn't enough to fill me up, then I'm going to be a real glutton."

In fact, Tian Xiwei is already 25 years old and will be 26 soon.

I feel like it’s not appropriate to touch my head all the time…

But yeah.

She does look quite childish.

Xu Yien just likes to have his head patted, there’s no solution to this.

Xu Yien's lips curved slightly as he jokingly said, "Being able to finish all these dishes, you're actually quite the glutton."

"You're looking for a scolding."

Tian Xi bared his teeth slightly, but the corners of his mouth curled up without any malicious intent.

Xu Yien smiled and took a sip of coconut ice.

This drink is actually quite delicious.

But if you go there just to drink, it's not worth it. It's not much worse to buy it on the way.

After dinner, I watched Douyin.

"After dinner, isn't it time to do something hey, hey, se se~" Tian Xi shook his head slightly, seeming to be looking forward to it.

"Rest for a while. I think you'll vomit if you do strenuous exercise right after eating."

"It's a shame. If it's not bitter, then it's not bitter."

She said this, but after a while Tian Xiwei took the initiative to come closer again.

The night was filled with darkness, and the woody fragrance emanating from the man filled my nostrils. The smell was not heavy, but rather refreshing.

Xu Yien smiled faintly: "Why? You want to kiss me?"

"What else? You're asking nonsense."

After she retorted, Tian Xiwei took the initiative to kiss her as usual.

Xu Yien kissed her back passionately and picked her up like a princess.

He walked over the screen that separated the rooms and gently placed it on the bed.

Tian Xiwei's eyes were full of affection. She lay on the bed, looking into Xu Yien's eyes, and said softly, "No need to be too gentle."

Xu Yien smiled and said, "I know."

"You always know that I love you." Tian Xiwei had beads of sweat on her forehead and her face was a little red.

Xu Yien was surprised. "It's rare to hear you say these three words so bluntly."

"When love is strong, it will come naturally. I love you, I love you, I love you~"

"I love you too."

Responding softly, Xu Yien moved closer and blocked her lips.

It is a difficult decision to choose between Chu and Kou Bao.
