Huayu: Starting with Marketing Bad Movies

On June 21, internet celebrity Guo Meimei flaunted her wealth by wearing a sign that read "Commercial General Manager of the Red Cross Society," attracting public attention.

Everyone is wondering where this guy got the money to flaunt his wealth, and whether he misappropriated donations.

Netizens pressed for details, which even drew a rebuttal from the Red Cross, which claimed that Guo Meimei had nothing to do with them, but the public did not buy it.

On the film set side, the shooting of the movie is going more and more smoothly.

Xu Feng and Liu Yifei's relationship has made great progress, and he feels that he is not far from successfully cultivating immortality.

Everyone has a need for romance. As you get older, your body secretes various hormones that urge you to find a partner. This is an underlying mechanism that you can't resist.

Xu Feng is top-notch in both modeling and his career, and Liu Yifei is no pushover either, so she was naturally tempted.

In the closed environment of a film crew, where people spend every day together, it's easy for sparks to fly between men and women; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "film crew couples."

But just when Xu Feng thought he was about to succeed, Jing Tian arrived.

"Wow, this prop of yours looks like a toy."

"Holy crap, this is cardboard? Are you serious? Is the production crew so short of money that they're using cardboard as props?"

"Your setup is too rudimentary. Why didn't you do something better?"

When Jing Tian arrived at the film crew, he was amazed by what he saw.

She had never seen such an outrageous film crew.

The costumes, makeup, and props are so abstract that they're almost unbearable to look at.

Can you believe the protagonist's weapon is a children's toy sword?

"Is it because you need money to invest? If you need money, you can tell me, and I'll help you find some." Jing Tian felt a little sorry for him.

She wasn't exaggerating; if she wanted to, she could easily find tens of millions of dollars in investment for Xu Feng.

This is a top-tier wealthy woman.

"We don't lack money; this is just the style of the film," Xu Feng explained.

As a nonsensical parody film, the abstract costumes and props are a distinctive feature of "Unexpected".

Moreover, as a renowned director, he has no shortage of investment and does not need Jing Tian's help.

"Really? Don't try to save face." Jing Tian asked skeptically.

"Of course it's true. He's a big-name director, how could he lack investment?"

After some explanation, Jing Tian finally believed it.

"Can such a simple comedy film really succeed?" Jing Tian was still skeptical, this time doubting the film's prospects.

Xu Feng couldn't explain it. He couldn't very well tell Jing Tian that this short drama would get over 100 million views and that almost everyone in the country would have seen it.

We'll know the result when the movie is released.

"What brings you here? Aren't you filming 'Time Raiders'?" Xu Feng changed the subject.

"What, you don't welcome me?" Jing Tian suddenly revealed a dangerous smile.

"Of course you're welcome, how could I not? I've missed you terribly these past few days, and the most important thing I do every day is think about you," Xu Feng quickly replied.

"That's more like it." Jing Tian smiled smugly.

She has a princess-like personality and needs to be pampered, but once you make her happy, you'll find that she's actually very easy to talk to.

The two chatted for a while, with Jing Tian sharing her experiences on the set of "Time Raiders" with Xu Feng.

Overall, Jing Tian had a fairly comfortable time on the set of "Time Raiders".

The entire film was fully funded by Starlight Entertainment; she was a genuine princess, and no one dared to mess with her.

However, there is also a point of dissatisfaction, namely the absence of Xu Feng.

Although the two often contacted each other by phone, a phone call is ultimately not as good as meeting in person.

I took time off work to visit the set this time, since the film crew was shooting in the capital.

It's lunchtime.

"I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"Thank you, Sweet Princess."

Jing Tian generously invited the entire crew to dinner, and the crew cheered in unison.

The meals served on set weren't too bad, but they certainly couldn't compare to those at a restaurant.

As for "Sweet Princess," this was a nickname Jing Tian used when filming "The Warring States." Several veterans in the crew who had worked with Xu Feng since "The Warring States" started calling her that.

Liu Yifei went along too, and the two chatted happily, as if they had known each other for a long time.

The two had similar childhood environments, both being well-protected by their parents, so they had a lot to talk about.

The more we talked, the happier we became, and it felt like we had found a soulmate.

Xu Feng had a bad feeling, especially when the two of them occasionally glanced at him while they were chatting happily, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns.

After Jing Tian left, Liu Yifei seemed unchanged, and her relationship with Xu Feng even became closer.

She even started confiding her troubles to Xu Feng and complaining about some of her life experiences, things she would never have told Xu Feng before.

Inexperienced people might feel excited when their crush says these things to them, thinking they're getting closer to her and that they'll soon succeed.

But the experienced Xu Feng knew that the situation was dangerous.

Liu Yifei's complaints to him precisely demonstrate that she no longer has feelings for him.

When it comes to someone you're having a flirtatious relationship with, most people instinctively try to maintain a certain distance and present their best side.

Only when a breakthrough is made will another side be revealed.

But before their relationship has progressed further, Liu Yifei has already begun to reveal another side of herself, indicating that she no longer sees Xu Feng as a romantic interest.

Judging from this, she seems to regard him as a close older brother, or in other words, a male best friend.

Some women don't mind being with a close older brother, but Liu Yifei is clearly not that kind of person.

It seems that his attempt to cultivate immortality is doomed to fail.

Dangerous.

Xu Feng was certain that it was because Jing Tian had said something to Liu Yifei that things had turned out this way.

But he couldn't explain it; any attempt to explain would only make things worse.

Moreover, Jing Tian was telling the truth.

Although the two did not have a deep conversation, they did hug and cuddle. If it weren't for the inopportune timing a few times, he would have drunk the well water long ago.

Unexpectedly, Jing Tian's sudden visit to the set disrupted his plans.

Just as Xu Feng was struggling with how to make amends, another unexpected person arrived.

"Liying, what brings you here?" Xu Feng was both surprised and delighted.

Before filming, he specifically used his connections to find Zhao Liying a role in the production.

This time, he's no longer just an ordinary extra, but a character with some weight, an important supporting role.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Liying suddenly arrived.

"I filmed that movie in stages, and I didn't have much to do on set. I thought you had no one to take care of you, so I came here."

Many films and television dramas are not shot chronologically, but rather according to scenes, which saves costs.

Therefore, it often happens that a character's scenes are separated by a long period of time before they are filmed.

In the most outrageous cases, a minor supporting character with only a few scenes ends up appearing at the beginning and end of the film, making the shoot extremely tedious.

Zhao Liying is very gentle, a completely different style from Jing Tian.

Upon arriving at the film set, she first tidied up Xu Feng's room, acting like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Many men like women who know how to manage a household, and Xu Feng likes them too.

The problem is that Zhao Liying's arrival was very unfortunate.
