This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 246 This is also movie promotion!
"Haha, it's not just a joke. Everyone has witnessed the creativity of the various programs in the metaverse. If you really wanted to host it, it shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Yuan waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood for it at all."

Besides the metaverse, now they've also started Weibo; it really shows they have the will but not the ability.

Last March, the Organizing Committee launched a global call for creative proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies.
Chen Yuan was focused on making a movie, and despite the high level of support from various sectors in China, he had no intention of getting involved.

In September, several teams stood out from the competition, including Lao Mouzi and Li An's team, but Chen Laoge was not involved at all.

The film "The Promise" was released a year ahead of schedule. The steamed bun incident made him the target of ridicule from the entire internet. Then, Chen Hong's sister filed for divorce from him. He was really having the worst luck ever.

Therefore, Brother Chen never had the chance to recite the poem "Suddenly I heard of the recapture of Jibei beyond the Great Wall, and tears filled my clothes upon first hearing it" in front of the Olympic Organizing Committee team.

It has to be said that this is truly a great regret.

That night, news about the press conference spread rapidly online.

Some people used Chen Yuan's previous rhetoric about "occupying public resources" to ridicule and mock him;

Some criticized Chen Yuan, saying that this was a marketing ploy for the sequel to "The Edge Walker," which was scheduled to be released a month later.

Some people were amused by Chen Yuan's humor during the interview;

But when those photos, filled with Fan Binbin's tear stains, crumpled paper covered in messy footprints and torn pages, were published by various news media outlets,
However, this news broke the hearts of many who stayed up all night to watch the drama unfold and the fans who had been eagerly awaiting the news.

Late at night, after Weibo, which had been paralyzed for eight or nine hours, resumed normal operation, a flood of comments and reflections appeared.

I always thought Fan Binbin was exaggerating; she actually fainted from crying and had to be taken away by an ambulance.

After reading the script for "Me Before You," even though I'm not her, I cried a lot!

Previously, some people questioned whether Chen Yuan was just lucky to recruit the best group of screenwriters in the industry, which enabled him to create good works.

Who still questions his writing ability now? This is the most romantic, poignant, and heartwarming love story I've read this year.

Love is never about possession, but about fulfillment! I'd rather you freely embrace happiness than live a life of mere survival. Fan Binbin, I'm so jealous that you have a boyfriend like Chen Yuan!

If Will hadn't been paralyzed, he would never have noticed Louisa, such a kind, innocent, and somewhat clumsy girl. Louisa would never have had the chance to meet people of Will's social class.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin had already fallen in love when they were both struggling, and their real-life romance was even more touching than any scripted story.

[I've been deceived by Chen Yuan's optimism all along. Even if he wasn't paralyzed from the waist down, such a drastic change in his life must have caused him immense suffering. What a tragedy that such a talented person is often envied by heaven!]

What a rational yet romantic love. I love you, so I want you to have freedom and confidence, and I will always support you in living your wonderful life.

Many female celebrities in the entertainment industry return to their families and give up their careers after getting married.
But are they truly willing to be subservient to men, and be the so-called 'virtuous wives and good mothers'?

Chen Yuan's love for Binbin has always been like this: he didn't treat her like a caged bird, and he didn't mind her appearing in public to act and do commercial performances.

Instead, they did everything in their power to help her reach the pinnacle of her ideals and career.

Love can blind us; the deeper the love, the stronger the possessiveness. Love can be selfish or selfless; it's about knowing when to let go.

Chen Yuan advises against overthinking, but this truly reflects his and Binbin's interpretation of their respective love—neither superior nor inferior, right nor wrong, only the most sincere love.

The protagonist's current physical body can no longer support his proud soul; he simply wants to leave with dignity. I also experienced an accident, but no one around me could understand the pain I felt at the time—a feeling of utter despair.

I was deeply moved after reading it, and I especially understand Will's character in the story. Because I've always been the kind of person who would commit suicide if I had a terminal illness.
I don't want to waste money, I don't want to become a burden to my family, I don't want them to feel disgusted, helpless, or suffer prolonged sorrow.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; I would rather die with dignity.

Just like that, "Me Before You" is definitely not just a love story about 'letting go'; Chen Yuan's understanding of life is very profound.

Love is a spiritual resonance between two people based on dignity, but physical defects can never be made up for.

Rather than leaving in unknown pain, it's better to go to the place you most want to go, carrying happiness with you.

A Weibo post went viral after receiving a surge in likes:
Chen Yuan could have written a more optimistic and positive story, at least one that wouldn't leave such a lingering sense of unease as Will's euthanasia, but he chose to write it this way.

Besides his understanding of love, I think this reflects Chen Yuan's respect and understanding of life.

He had lost feeling in both legs, but all other physiological functions were normal.

He can enjoy the best medical care and nursing, but even so, he still suffers from countless pains and troubles.

His optimism is certainly something we should learn from and admire, but Chen Yuan grew up experiencing hardship.

Don't use his resilience to judge others who have also suffered misfortune, and don't let others learn from Chen Yuan's optimism and positivity.

For many, dying with dignity is indeed better than living a painful existence.

Life is too heavy a burden; whatever choice you make, you must be clear-headed, rational, and extremely cautious.

A script that not only moved people with the love story of the well-known celebrity couple Chen Yuan and Fan Binbin,

It also directly sparked a major debate on the 'right to life and euthanasia,' with many experts, professors, masters, and celebrities from various fields opening accounts on Weibo to clarify their views and debate with others.

With "The Edge Walker" set to release in two weeks, pre-release promotion has intensified, and Amy Pascal is personally overseeing the project.

The first thing she asked Chen Yuan upon seeing him was:
"Virgil, did you stage the 'suicide' yourself to promote your movie?"

"Do you think I'm that selfless for the sake of the movie, even sacrificing my own reputation?"

Chen Yuan sighed helplessly and said:

"It really was just a simple misunderstanding! It's just that since it was already irreversible, I took advantage of the attention it generated because of me."

Chen Yuan did indeed capitalize on the public attention generated by this controversy to promote his film, translating "Me Before You" into multiple languages ​​and then investing heavily in its exposure.

"Ha, I knew it. Otherwise, how could so many high-quality translations in different languages ​​appear in such a short time?"

Amy excitedly patted Virgil on the shoulder. His suicide attempt had really startled her, and Virgil's reputation was now closely tied to that of Columbia Pictures.

Virgil is truly a marketing genius; that script alone is worth far more in advertising budget than "The Edge Walker"!
The poignant love story of "Me Before You" has become a sensation in North America and Europe, deeply moving many viewers.

Even Amy herself was deeply moved after reading it, unsure whether it was an accident or Virgil's deliberate arrangement.
