This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 154 This trailer is absolutely awesome!

This trailer has a cinematic quality, much more refined and detailed than the one Chen Yuan rushed out earlier.

With a significant increase in funding, this part of the story has been expanded accordingly.

In a cheap apartment in Brooklyn, New York, Roddy was writing his college thesis. He picked up a slightly chilled cup of coffee from the table and took a sip. Just then, an MSN message popped up; it was from his friend Durren.

The two met last year while watching "The Matrix Revolutions" in the cinema. Sitting next to each other, they discovered they had many things in common while discussing the film's themes and metaphors; they both enjoyed science fiction movies.
We exchanged MSN contacts and became friends, often discussing our understanding of classic science fiction movies together.

Roddy stretched and put down his coffee cup, then opened his MSN window to see a long message from Durren:
[OMG, Roddy, you have to see this!]

This trailer is absolutely awesome!

I just checked, and the maker of this movie called "The Edge Walker" actually made "Kung Fu Panda"! You absolutely won't believe it!

The art style of this movie is absolutely captivating; I've watched it five times already and I still can't stop!

Ok?
What did Duren see that made him so excited? In Roddy's memory, he had always been a very dignified and composed person.

Is this the latest work from the director of "Kung Fu Panda"? Is it another 2D hand-drawn animated film?
With some questions in mind, Roddy copied the URL sent by Duren, opened his browser, and entered a forum where movie lovers shared and exchanged their interests.

The post contained a download link for a video, and the number of replies had already exceeded 300.
Roddy glanced at the post's time; it had only been posted less than a day ago. Wow, what on earth could attract so many people to watch and comment?
Her name?

[A generous gift of crab, she's so sexy!]

This hairstyle is so unique! I want to get one too. Does anyone know how to dye it?

[Cyberpunk: The Edge Walker, a cyberpunk film. The hacker girl's bodysuit is very similar to Motoko Kusanagi's, but the hacker girl is much sexier!]

[This crazy woman, I think I'm falling for her.]

Would you believe me if I told you that the author of this film's previous work was "Kung Fu Panda"?

When will the movie be released?

Interesting. Roddy quickly clicked on the link and started downloading. He was grateful that his landlord had upgraded to ADSL broadband this year. He had been annoyed by the snail-paced dial-up internet for a long time, and he hadn't complained even though the rent had increased by $50 a month.

It took less than half an hour to download this 20MB video file.

The film begins with a top-down shot, revealing a bustling metropolis illuminated by a dazzling array of lights.

Roddy immediately became serious. Holographic billboards, floating cars, and unconventional ground-based rail transit—this was clearly a futuristic city.

The camera then pans down and focuses on an ambulance traveling on an elevated highway in the city.

Inside the ambulance, an obese Black woman was threatening a teenager lying on a stretcher and his accompanying girl with a handgun.

Roddy's eyes lit up when he saw the silver-haired girl on the CRT monitor. That hairstyle, that eye makeup, that outfit—so cool!

It has a distinct feel to it, reminiscent of Japanese anime from the 80s.

Judging from the plot, it seems the emergency personnel are going to hack the prosthetic body implanted in the boy's body and tell the girl not to meddle.

Despite being pointed at with a gun, the girl showed no sign of panic. Instead, she forcefully kicked the stretcher forward, sending it crashing heavily into the caregiver's stomach.

While the caregiver was still stiff from the impact, the girl grabbed the railings on both sides of the stretcher with both hands, lowered her body, and the entire monitor screen displayed her exquisite, ferocious, and crazy expression!

Before Roddy could think any further, the girl kicked open the car door, climbed onto the stretcher, and left the ambulance, disappearing into the dense traffic!

Lying on the stretcher, unable to move or speak, the boy, his face covered in cold sweat, was filled with tension and helplessness, while the crazy and audacious girl began to run away!

Under the cover of night, the tunnel lights and vehicle headlights illuminated the girl's tight leather pants, showcasing her alluring figure beneath the bodysuit. Simply by shifting her center of gravity and inertia, she maneuvered the stretcher through the dangerous and complex traffic as if it were a scooter!

The highly saturated neon colors contrast sharply with the large areas of dark and cool colors.

The smooth camera movement of the stretcher traversing the complex environment at high speed made Roddy feel as if he could also feel the almost out-of-control yet exhilarating sense of speed on the screen. This shot is really brilliant!

The girl turned her head and noticed that the traffic light was too short for the stretcher to pass. Her bright blue eyes glowed red, and the circuit board pattern could be clearly seen in a close-up shot of her iris.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of seemingly impressive but actually confusing UI elements suddenly appeared on the screen. It seemed that the girl had modified some data, and the countdown timer for the traffic lights was increased by 10 seconds, just in time for the stretcher to pass through the busy intersection.

It's obvious she's a hacker who just broke into the city's networked transportation system!
As the internet becomes increasingly important, many movies have featured scenes and storylines of hackers breaking into networks, but Roddy has never seen such a cool and exciting hacking intrusion!
He became even more interested in this agile, beautiful, and dangerous girl!
Clearly, he wasn't the only one interested in her; the boy on the stretcher on the screen was also staring blankly at the hacker girl with her silver hair flying in the high-speed airflow and her aggressive posture.

However, the scene cuts to the girl stepping on the ground with one foot to stop the stretcher, but the male protagonist lying on the stretcher has already vomited in his oxygen mask and completely fainted.

Wow, this movie is so cool! The charm of the hacker girl is practically overflowing from the screen!

Cyberpunk: The Edgewalker is an interesting movie. Maybe I can invite Durren and other friends to go and watch it!
Chen Yuan created a torrent file from this trailer and released it online, directly adding 30 views using the [Popularity Controller], which is a quarter of the views he has accumulated over the past year.

Although broadband technology is developing rapidly, the vast majority of internet users are still using dial-up, with an average speed of only 10kb per second, or even less.

Video websites won't appear until next year or the year after. Right now, most netizens watch videos by sharing download links in forums.

Seeds can distribute large files more efficiently and reliably, especially given the current situation where network bandwidth is limited and server resources are expensive.

But precisely because watching videos is so troublesome and difficult now, the effect of Chen Yuan's investment of 30 exposures is astonishing, generating super high popularity on the European and American internet in just two days.

With the added boost from regular television media coverage, a single trailer made the movie "The Edge Walker" an instant hit!

Columbia Pictures was overjoyed and promptly increased its marketing budget to capitalize on the momentum!
Binbin's silver gradient short hair and jumpsuit look received widespread praise from the film and fashion industries.

Especially in Asia, whenever Seven Swords Legend was introduced, it became a sensation for a period of time. Even today, Seven Swords Legend is still rebroadcast from time to time in places like Vietnam and Thailand.

The transformation of the gentle and reliable Lan Yue into a fashionable, cyberpunk madwoman creates such a strong contrast that it's incredibly attractive and has generated a huge amount of discussion.

In Chen Yuan's home base of China, the sensation was particularly intense!
The Hollywood blockbuster "The Edge Walker," a Sino-US co-production, has maintained high popularity since Chen Yuan and Sony publicly reached a cooperation agreement two years ago.

With a production cost exceeding $7000 million, it's a true blockbuster, surpassing even the domestic box office earnings of "Hero."
Moreover, it's a Hollywood-exclusive sci-fi blockbuster, with Chinese actors playing both the male and female leads. Anyone with even a basic understanding of the film industry and entertainment circle will inevitably pay attention to this extremely unique movie.

Previously, news about the movie was kept very secret, but now the images of the male and female leads have been released.
The mystery has been solved, and Fan Binbin's image in the movie is extremely impactful, far exceeding the expectations of the media and the public.

Fan Binbin's avant-garde and cool image spread instantly across major domestic portal websites, forums, and chat rooms.

The news easily went viral, and people of all ages, whether they watched the movie or not, and whether they followed the entertainment industry or not, were actively commenting on the two actors' appearances and the exaggerated and cool art style, discussing how much of a stir Chen Yuan's new movie would make.

Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin's fans were celebrating wildly, cheering as if it were Chinese New Year.

As everyone knows, they are the most famous couple in the entertainment industry, and Fan Binbin has been recognized as the luckiest and happiest woman.

However, the sweet moments between the two only existed in news interviews. Pan Hong and Lan Yue in "Legend of Seven Swords" were practically 'morally perfect'. The two never even held hands properly, let alone had any more intimate scenes.

The most romantic moment between the two to date is still a Dove chocolate commercial they filmed in 2000!

How can being so stingy satisfy the largest group of fans who make up the majority of their fanbase – the CP (couple) fans?

Now that the trailer for "The Edge Walker" has been released, Fan Binbin, who is usually gentle and demure, has transformed into a crazy and eccentric woman with explosive sexuality, while Chen Yuan, who is top-notch in ability and charm, seems to have become a 'sickly and weak bottom'.

This contrast really resonated with fans, who started enthusiastically recommending it to everyone they knew!
