Chapter 246: Function of the Leading Actor
[Go and watch my girlfriend] had topped the hot search list and Wei Ziting and Li Xing’er showed off their loving relationship on Weibo.
Li Xing’er’s friends from the industry also reposted the post and showed support for the new movie.
The official account of the Long Wind also reposted her post and wrote some words of praise.
However, Fu Shiyi, the leading actor of the Long Wind, did not care a single whit about Li Xing’er and even though Li Xing’er was following him, he was not a follower of Li Xing’er’s Weibo.
Li Xing’er’s fans had noticed that Fu Shiyi did not follow Li Xing’er but followed Mu Weiwei instead, so those fans started to find justice for their idol.
They all rushed onto Fu Shiyi’s Weibo and reminded him about following Li Xing’er and reposting her Weibo.
[Third Master, Xing’er has followed you.]
[Third Master, aren’t you going to help your partner repost the post?]
[Third Master, you have befriended Tang Shaoqi, why not Qingxue?]
….
They did not dare to put forward the request in too obvious a way, so they were requesting him to repost the post by using the characters in the movie.
But they were soon countered by Fu Shiyi’s fans.
[You need to have good looks!]
[You need to have good looks! Plus One]
[You need to have good looks! Plus two]
….
They basically meant that your idol was not pretty enough for us to pay attention to her, let alone Third Master.
Mu Weiwei was the artist hired by Third Master’s company, so there was nothing wrong with him following her. Most importantly, she was really pretty.
After the incident of the horse-back rescue, Fu Shiyi’s fans had a great impression of her.
When Li Xing’er’s boyfriend and fans bought out cinemas for the movie, it became popular online.
Fu Shiyi’s fans did not yield either. They bought out dozens of cinemas for the movie across the entire country just to support their idol.
On the first two days when the movie was released, it was Fu Shiyi’s and Li Xing’er’s fans who visited the cinemas as well as a small portion of the fans of the original novel.
Li Xing’er’s fans kept speaking highly of Lin Qingxue played by Li Xing’er thinking that the two film critics agreed with them.
So Li Xing’er’s agency took the opportunity and started to cook up stories, so that she stayed at the top of the hot search list for two days in a row, after the movie was released.
Fu Shiyi, however, always took up the first top search.
Fu Shiyi had an enormous number of fans and he also put on a great performance as Gu Changfeng, moving all the hearts of his fans.
[Has Third Master practised so hard overnight?]
[Third Master is so cool when he acts seriously!]
[Gu Changfeng played by Third Master is so cool! But the Master of the Tang Family is great too]
[It is such a wonderful scene to watch Third Master and the Master of the Tang Family showing up together]
….
Apart from the fans’ opinions, there were some comments left by the fans of the original novel.
[I had meant to watch Gu Changfeng and Lin Qingxue, but the Master of the Tang Family amazed me instead.]
[Tang Shaoqi is the villainous woman in the movie but after the movie, I feel so concerned about her.]
[Tang Shaoqi dressed in red truly caters to the description of the book.]
….
However, the opinions of the fans of the original novel were drowned out by Li Xing’er’s and Fu Shiyi’s crazy fans.
When the movie was on, Gu Weiwei and the entire cast started to do promotional events at different cinemas.
They often worked from early afternoon, all the way to midnight, before flying to the next city.
For the first two or three days, Li Xing’er’s and Fu Shiyi’s fans were mostly those who were present, who passionately gave them flowers and cakes.
On the fourth day, however, an urgent notice arrived when the cast came off the plane.
“Tang Shaoqi will take over today at the promotional event, be prepared!”
Fu Shiyi was displeased. “Then what is my function when she takes over?”
The movie was called the Long Wind, not the Master of the Tang Family, alright?
Li Xing’er who played Lin Qingxue was the most annoyed out of everyone.
