I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 444 10 billion might not be enough for me to mess around with.

At the end of September, the related topic #How to spend 1 billion yuan in a month was launched by the crew of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" on Kuaiyin and Chaobo.

In no time, many people were attracted by this topic and flocked to the official account of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" to interact.

[Sitting on the wall waiting for the red apricot: It's so simple, I can just grab an island and a super luxury yacht. Let me tell you, even 10 billion yuan might not be enough for me to do this!]

[Don't vote, I can still show off: Plastic surgery! Plastic surgery is priceless! If I could just bring in the world's top plastic surgeons and turn me into someone like Brother Xian, I believe 10 billion yuan wouldn't be enough for me.]

[Pickled Cabbage Without Fish: Damn, did you also get a sex change surgery? If it were me, I'd buy 1 billion yuan worth of lottery tickets and guarantee I'd lose it all within a month.]

[A scoundrel: Look at your pathetic ambitions! 1 billion yuan, and you'd have Brother Xian sing for me 24/7, have Xu Bao dance for me 24/7, have the five girls from Yinwu massage me, have Li Xin and Duan Fei tell me jokes, and have Ogura Watami change her voice every 10 minutes, all for me to hehehe...]

……

Netizens unleashed their creativity, using their own ideas to complete the challenge, and "Hello Mr. Billionaire" also took advantage of this wave of traffic to officially begin its pre-release promotion period.

In fact, during the preparation stage of "Hello Mr. Billionaire", live casting and live filming were already underway. However, at that time, the only big-name actor in the crew was Li Xin, who brought some traffic, but not enough.

Until Ye Xian gained weight to join the crew, the topic of weight gain first boosted the film's popularity, and then the daily slow live streams brought back the feeling of the slow live streams from the filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

So throughout September, the popularity of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was slowly increasing, until the hashtag #HowToSpendOneBillionInOneMonth# was released, and the movie truly entered the public eye.

This movie doesn't have any big-name stars; it's all about extras. The only big names are Ye Xian and Li Xin, which has led many people to be pessimistic about the film, and there have even been a lot of opinions about it online.

[Peeing Three Feet Away in the Wind: Ye Xian's movie is pure cash grabbing! The success of *Dream of the Red Chamber* was due to its fanbase, plus the support of Jiang Tian, ​​Liu Xiaoxiao, and a host of veteran actors. Movies are different; people pay real money to go to the cinema. This is completely different from the membership system of video platforms. If people don't like it, its reputation will collapse immediately!]

[You're stepping on my leg hair: It's not just going to collapse, I feel like all the good reputation he's built up in the last few months since his debut will be ruined by this movie. There isn't even a veteran actor; he and Li Xin, two people who have never acted in a movie before, are just trying to fool people. How can they possibly support the box office? With his face?]

[Green Grassland Gang Leader: I heard that Ye Xian even gained weight specifically for this role, but what's the point? He's so handsome, it's bound to be jarring in a comedy! So, this movie is definitely a cash grab for viewers, they'll harvest as much as they can!]

[Chasing an elephant while riding a snail: A social media influencer, instead of focusing on promoting their products, is making TV dramas and movies—are they really money-hungry? No wonder the entertainment industry is so chaotic these days. Why isn't the Royal Observer commenting on this?]

……

Some netizens' opinions are not without merit, because neither Ye Xian nor Li Xin are from a professional acting background. Even if he wrote the script himself, and even if his performance in "Dream of the Red Chamber" was commendable, people still don't have much confidence in him.

A discussion about #YeXian'sActingSkillsAreTheyAreGood?# quickly became a hot topic on various platforms.

Those who enjoy late-night snacks naturally believe that Ye Xian has already proven himself with "Dream of the Red Chamber," while passersby and haters believe that Ye Xian's performance in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is acceptable because firstly, acting skills on the small screen do not need to be outstanding, and secondly, he wrote both the book and the script for this drama.

Once on the big screen, Ye Xian's expressions will be magnified infinitely, and his poor acting skills will be immediately exposed.

After all, the requirements for acting skills on the big screen and the small screen are very different.

Amidst all the commotion, the popularity of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" continues to rise.

That's how the internet works; as long as there's controversy and topics that can stay in the public eye, they'll generate buzz.

On the contrary, some social hot topics are forgotten completely within a week.

……

In the latter half of September, Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Xiaoyu had just finished their school's military training.

The 20-day military training left the two girls with sunburned faces, but they were full of excitement because they had just received news that Ye Xian had invited them to visit his live stream.

This made the two young fans so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days.

After finally getting through the military training, the two thought they could take advantage of the National Day holiday to be guests on Ye Xian's live stream.

Tuesday, September 26th, 6:00 AM.

Lin Xiaoyu had already pulled Li Xiaoxiao out of bed: "Hurry up, hurry up, if we go too late we won't be able to run into Brother Xian."

Li Xiaoxiao, still half-asleep, crawled out of bed and checked the time: "My goodness, it's only 6 o'clock! Brother Xian hasn't even gotten up yet! And tonight we can finally meet Brother Xian in the live stream!"

Lin Xiaoyu stamped her foot and said, "That's different! The Xian Ge in real life is different from the Xian Ge in the live stream!"

Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to reluctantly leave the bed, get up, wash, and get dressed.

6: 25.

The two boarded the subway, filled with excitement and anticipation, and headed towards Uncle Dong's breakfast shop.

7: 10.

The two stood in front of the legendary Uncle Dong's breakfast shop.

The two thought they had arrived early, but they were surprised to see a long queue outside Uncle Dong's breakfast shop that stretched almost to the street corner.

"I told you to hurry up, but you dawdled! See, you're late!"

Lin Xiaoyu sighed.

Li Xiaoxiao was also stunned.

She didn't expect so many people to line up so early, hoping to bump into Brother Xian.

"Just line up patiently!"

Lin Xiaoyu complained a couple of times, then comforted Li Xiaoxiao: "It's okay, I heard that Brother Xian will be taking photos with the fans lining up outside after dinner, so we'll all have a chance."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded. She had been watching Ye Xian's live streams frequently lately and hanging out in his fan community, so she was quite familiar with Ye Xian's habits.

The two chatted while waiting in line. A few minutes later, they heard a commotion in the line ahead and saw Ye Xian leading Qiu Qing toward Uncle Dong's breakfast shop.

"Ahhh! Brother Xian!"

Lin Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, and Li Xiaoxiao clenched her fists excitedly as well. She wanted to shout, but felt that the sound was stuck in her throat and could not be uttered. She could only excitedly stand on tiptoe and lean on Lin Xiaoyu's shoulder to look ahead.

That figure, that figure that has appeared in my dreams more than once, I finally saw it again!

Yeah, I've gained a little weight!

It's alright, Brother Xian is doing it all for his film career.
