Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 103, "Oh My General," premieres.

While Su Yu was busy filming "Someday or One Day", his second drama, "Oh My General", finally premiered.

This drama did a lot of hype around Su Yu during its promotion, from trailer editing to Weibo topics, the focus of the promotion was almost entirely on Su Yu, it was almost as if they were going to put Su Yu in the position of the male lead.

Who can blame him when he's currently the most sought-after top celebrity in the entire Chinese entertainment industry?

Director Lü Haojiji was well aware that Su Yu was now the key to generating traffic; any material associated with him would see its click-through and repost counts multiply several times over.

So they desperately tried to get close to Su Yu, of course, all of this was arranged in advance with Su Yu's studio.

Su Yu did not object to this, after all, it was a good thing for him.

Don't be fooled by his current popularity; he's actually quite superficial.

He filmed a total of three dramas, two of which were broadcast.

Although both shows performed well, only "A Love So Beautiful" truly became a hit.

The influence of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" was considerable, but most of the popularity went to his good friend Zhang Ruoyun, and it didn't help him much.

What truly brought him to his current status was "A Love So Beautiful," meaning that he currently only has one representative work.

According to fantasy novels, although he is now at a high level, it is all due to external aids, and his own foundation is very weak.

Although the situation was somewhat stabilized when they released songs and fought against negative publicity, it's still not stable enough. If any trouble arises, the situation could collapse in an instant.

Hu Yitian from the previous life is a cautionary tale. He became popular with "A Love So Beautiful", but his subsequent works couldn't keep up, and once his scandals came out, he became a nobody. Su Yu doesn't want to repeat his mistakes.

So the airing of "Oh My General" is a good thing for him.

He has a significant role in this drama, and the character Hu Qing is memorable and compelling, which helps solidify his "fighting spirit."

Moreover, this drama can fill the gap in his schedule during the filming of "Someday or One Day" and help him maintain his exposure.

Moreover, this is Xiao Wang's first film, and as her boyfriend, he has to support her no matter what.

So Su Yu cooperated readily and proactively shared the release date poster for "Oh My General" with the simple caption: "Looking forward to it."

Shortly after this Weibo post was published, the number of comments skyrocketed to tens of thousands, which is simply terrifying. This is the influence of a top influencer.

Although it may seem a bit superficial, these fans will still be very supportive of you when you're at the peak of your popularity.

His Weibo comment section was already flooded with comments, creating a lively atmosphere as always.

"Finally, Su Su's new drama is here! I'm already swooning over how handsome he is just from the poster. Am I going to end up in the ICU the day it airs?!"

"Ahhh! Husband, husband, husband!"

"Honey, how can you look so handsome in ancient costume?!"

The premiere ratings for "Oh My General" did not disappoint.

The video garnered over 2.6 million views on Youku on its first day, more than double the number in the original timeline. The original version had around 1 million views on its first day, but with the addition of Su Yu, a top star, the number of views has more than doubled.

Several related terms appeared on Weibo's trending topics, but most of them were related to Su Yu.

Such as #SuYuHuQing#, #SuYuHandsomeInAncientCostume#, etc., among which #SuYuHuQing# directly rushed to the top three of the hot search, and even once reached the top spot, with the number of views exceeding 300 million within a few hours.

In his Weibo supertopic, his fans happily shared screenshots of their drama watching.

"Waaaaah, Su's period costume is so beautiful! I watched the scene where she rides out on horseback more than ten times!"

Hu Qing is some kind of magical little general! He's both adorable and dashing. The moment he sat on his horse in that blue robe, I instantly died!

"Anyone understand, family members? Su Su looks like she stepped right out of a painting in ancient costume! I've taken so many screenshots my hands are sore, every single one—"

Even a single frame can be used as a screensaver!

"Jiang Chen is the white moonlight, Hu Qing is the cinnabar mole, but Su Su's face is truly amazing! Modern school heartthrob, ancient general—she's dominating both categories! Other celebrities are chosen by their stylists, but Su Su is chosen by her stylist; she'd look good even in a burlap sack!"

"I just finished watching the first episode. My mom walked by, glanced at it, and asked who it was. I said Su Yu, and she said, 'This young man is really handsome.' Ladies, my mom never compliments male celebrities! Su Su has even won over the middle-aged and elderly market!"

Besides Su Yu's Hu Qing, Wang Churan's Liu Xiyin also gained some popularity that night.

Her look in this drama is indeed beautiful. Her elegant and refined ancient costume, paired with her big, bright eyes, immediately caught the attention of many viewers.

Many posts praising her appeared on Weibo. Some people said, "The role of Liu Xiyin was perfectly cast. The actress is beautiful and her acting skills are also excellent." Others said, "What's this newcomer's name? I feel like she'll become famous in the future."

Although it's not nearly as popular as Su Yu's, for a newcomer who has just debuted, being remembered by the audience for their first work is already a very good start.

Wang Churan was so happy that night that she almost jumped out of bed.

She stayed in bed all night scrolling through comments on her phone, screenshotting every compliment she saw and sending it to Su Yu. Messages kept popping up one after another.

"Ah! Baby, look! Someone's praising me again!" Wang Churan sent a screenshot of a long comment from a viewer on Weibo. "This person's comment said I have good acting skills and that I look so pure and innocent, like the kind of face that makes a likable female lead!"

"And this one too! Su Yu, Hu Qing, and Liu Xiyin look so good together! They're a dream come true for anyone who appreciates good looks. They seem like a perfect match!" Baby, look! They say we're a great couple!

"My followers have increased so much! Almost a million!! Am I going to become famous? Baby, do you think I'm going to be famous?"

Su Yu watched the messages popping up on the screen one after another, a helpless smile curving his lips.

This girl acts like a primary school student; whenever someone praises her, she comes to brag about it.

All I can say is that her face doesn't match her personality at all.

He typed back: "Yes, yes, you're going to be famous, you're going to be famous, you'll soon be the new top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, soon you'll be able to trample Yang Mi underfoot and punch Dilraba in the back————"

Wang Churan replied instantly: "Stop, stop, stop! Are you praising me or mocking me?"

"I'm genuinely complimenting you," Su Yu replied, adding a sly smiley face at the end.

"Hmph, I'm not going to bother with you!"

Seeing that the girl was a little angry, Su Yu's message became much more serious.

"It can only be said that this role brought you into the public eye, which is a great start to your acting career."

Su Yu then added, "If you really want to become famous, I can write a drama just for the two of us."

This time, Wang Churan didn't reply immediately. After a while, she sent a meme of a kitten hugging a heart-shaped pillow with the words "It's so good to have you" written on it.

The message followed by a sentence: "Thank you, baby, for always being there for me. I will continue to work hard."

Su Yu looked at the emoji and smiled.

The next day, when Su Yu arrived at the film set, Hu Lianxin came running over to him as soon as she saw him.

"Brother!" She almost ran to Su Yu. "I watched your drama 'Oh My General' last night!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "What do you think?"

Hu Lianxin answered without hesitation, her tone filled with undisguised admiration, "It looks great! And you look so handsome in period costume, brother!"
