Chapter 31 031 Gu Yilou still hasn't appeared in the new film.
Chapter Thirty-One
Later, Xie Yu was also passively drawn into this battle.
The reason is that a fan of Zhang Xiaoyue claims that Xie Yu is to blame in the end. If Xie Yu hadn't secretly sabotaged Lin Yuan, the production team of "Prosperous World" wouldn't have announced that Lin Yuan would sing the theme song, "Hot" wouldn't have been released on the platform so quickly, and naturally it wouldn't have taken the top spot on Zhang Xiaoyue's new song chart.
Xie Yu's fans: "?"
Shouldn't we blame Ji Xiaming for being too incompetent, whose live performance was completely outshone by "Heart's Desire"? Without Ji Xiaming's performance to highlight "Heart's Desire," how could Lin Yuan have been invited to sing "Hot"?
Ji Xiaming's fans: "?"
Was Zhang Xiaoyue completely blameless? If he hadn't deleted Tian Yi from his friends list and accepted the invitation, wouldn't Lin Yuan have missed out on "Heart's Desire"?
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans: "?"
It's clearly Xie Yu's fault. If he hadn't taken Lin Yuan's debut spot, none of this would have happened.
There had been long-standing grudges among the various Wink fan groups. When Wink disbanded, fans from different groups spread the word, each feeling that their teammates had dragged down their group's development.
Even though Wink disbanded some time ago, the fans' resentment has not dissipated, and they still regard each other as lifelong enemies.
Lin Yuan: "..."
#Stop hitting#
#Out of sunflower seeds at home#
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
However, Lin Yuan was eventually drawn into this controversy – music critic "Pause" published his review of the song "Hot".
"With 'Hot', 'The World of Prosperity' is a complete film."
"Inviting Lin Yuan to sing the theme song was undoubtedly a stroke of genius for 'The World of Prosperity.' An excellent film paired with a theme song that perfectly matches the film ultimately creates a true masterpiece."
"The moment I heard 'Hot,' I felt as if I saw scalding blood before my eyes. In the most difficult times, there were people protecting us, and people still holding onto hope. The wheat fields, fields, mountains, and oceans in the song are all our home."
"In this song 'Hot,' Lin Yuan's ability to evoke emotions is even better than in 'Heart's Desire.' Even if you haven't read 'The Prosperous World,' you will still be moved. If you have read it... it's hard not to shed tears, isn't it?"
"The song 'Hot' is ranked number one on this week's new song chart, which made me curious about the other songs on the chart. So I went to listen to another hit song - have people who like this song had their hearing stolen?"
As soon as the comment "Pause" was posted, a group of people immediately tagged Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan stole it."
Lin Yuan: "?"
#Lin Yuan the Great Immortal's Boundless Magical Power#
"Pause" would have been fine if he hadn't commented, but to some extent, his comments sparked netizens' curiosity about "Hurry".
Generally speaking, idols' singles only attract the attention of their fans; the general public doesn't find them interesting.
But this time, many netizens specifically went to listen to "In a Hurry".
The number of views that Zhang Xiaoyue's fans worked hard to achieve has increased significantly.
However--
"It sounds awful."
"This song really gave me a feeling of work-related injury."
"When I heard this song on a weekday morning, I felt like dying, but then I felt that someone else should die."
"I knew I couldn't be a fan. I couldn't think of any other adjectives besides 'awful,' but... the comments section was full of things like 'groundbreaking,' 'pioneering,' and 'trendy'... I was dumbfounded."
"+1, I can only listen to 'Hot' to cleanse my ears."
"@Lin Yuan @Lin Yuan @Lin Yuan, steal my hearing!"
Lin Yuan: "..."
We simply can't keep up.
...
During the promotional tour for "The Prosperous World", Lin Yuan sang "Hot" on stage, mainly to promote the film.
Lin Yuan didn't think his singing added much buzz to the movie, but according to Jiao Le, the tickets for the shows where he appeared sold out the fastest.
Lin Yuan didn't believe it at first, but one day he actually saw a post from a netizen saying "extra ticket (Lin Yuan is confirmed to appear)". As for the price of the extra ticket, Lin Yuan said that he might as well give the money to him.
Even now, he doesn't feel the real sense that his singing is very popular, but in fact, since he started participating in the roadshow, the number of plays for "Hot" on music platforms has increased.
Lin Yuan also received several invitations to various galas.
"...I originally thought the movie version of 'Hot' was already very good, but the live performance at the roadshow was even better—"
"+1+1+1, Lin Yuan's live performance is a must-listen. The recording version gives people a distant feeling, but the live version is more real and is really amazing."
Sangzi has saved several videos of Lin Yuan's roadshow.
The fans mostly recorded it with their phones, so the picture quality wasn't very clear, and the sound quality wasn't particularly outstanding either, but... the moment Lin Yuan started singing, the world seemed to go silent.
The sound filled the entire auditorium and pierced the heart.
Love was spreading infinitely in his voice.
Although Lin Yuan wasn't dressed up elaborately and his appearance was casual, the way he sang, his immersive and focused state, and his slightly low, broken voice... made the listener feel as if they were in a movie.
Who wouldn't be curious? With a theme song like "Hot," what kind of story does "The Prosperous World" tell?
"Hot" and "A Prosperous World" are closely intertwined.
...
In short, by the time "The Prosperous World" finishes its run, "Hot" is already a guaranteed hit song of the year. Lin Yuan hasn't received any other work, but he has received several OST requests.
Lin Yuan never expected that his career would start as a singer, since he first filmed the movie "Thousand Mountains".
Lin Yuan declined all offers to work on the movie's OST, not because he didn't want to, but because he had finally received notification that "Thousand Mountains" had a release date.
Lin Yuan is now singing theme songs for other movies to boost the popularity of his competitors.
Lin Yuan: "...Why didn't you ask me to sing the theme song for 'A Thousand Mountains'?"
So the director confessed that Gu Yilou in the movie was too perverted and sinister, and if Lin Yuan sang the theme song, it would affect the overall atmosphere of the movie.
Lin Yuan reluctantly accepted this explanation.
"Thousand Mountains" is a film with a relatively long shooting period, with many real-life shots and a long post-production time. The fact that it was able to be scheduled for release at this time is already the result of Qin Panyun working at full speed.
Qin Panyun still believes that Lin Yuan saved him a lot of time.
In the current film industry, only a few works like "Thousand Mountains" are willing to spend time on their productions; the vast majority of films are made very quickly.
For example, "The Immortal".
The same week that "Thousand Mountains" was scheduled for release, "The Immortal" also announced its release date.
Both films were released during the May Day holiday.
"Have Lin Yuan and Xie Yu started fighting again?"
What's the connection between these two?
"To be honest, Xie Yu might be able to offer suggestions regarding the scheduling of 'The Immortal,' but Lin Yuan definitely can't interfere with 'Thousand Mountains,' he's just a supporting actor."
"+1, a certain supporting character's fan, stop trying to take advantage of the real lead actor. Your idol still has a long way to go before he can play the lead role."
Upon seeing that "The Immortal" and "Thousand Mountains" were scheduled to air at the same time, Xie Yu's fans couldn't help but have some bad thoughts. After all, lately, nothing good has ever come of Xie Yu whenever she's in a relationship with Lin Yuan.
But fans thought again, it was clearly the "Thousand Mountains" production team that was blind to reject Xie Yu back then, and now that the two movies are being released at the same time, isn't this a great opportunity for Xie Yu to get revenge?
Although "Thousand Mountains" is a film by a renowned director, Qin Panyun's strength lies more in awards than in box office success.
In terms of subject matter, "The Immortal" is also the type of movie that attracts more box office revenue.
With the release of the promotional video for "The Immortal," fans' opinions became even more certain.
In the scene, a white-robed, white-haired immortal embraces his weeping lover in the clouds, his eyes almost brimming with bloody tears.
"How unjust is the way of Heaven! If Heaven will not let me live, then I will not let Heaven live!"
Xie Yu's white-haired look is almost breathtakingly beautiful; every frame makes fans scream wildly.
"So handsome! Ahhhhhh!"
"Xie Yu, the celestial being! Xiao Yu is such a beauty in period dramas, she's perfect for this kind of makeup and styling!"
"I cried as soon as Xiaoyu appeared on screen! My god, what kind of plot could make Xiaoyu unleash such acting skills? She's amazing!"
"Indeed, Xie Yu is a person who proves himself with his actions. The failure of 'A Tear' made so many people look down on him, but he did not make excuses or shirk responsibility. He only proved himself with better works."
The promotional video has filled fans with anticipation for "The Immortal," sweeping away the somber mood caused by the failure of "A Tear in a Cup."
As for Xie Yu's endorsement not being sold and Tian Yi's testimony that there is no "Milk" CP... none of that matters. Once Xie Yu successfully makes a comeback with "The Immortal", who will care about those things?
Xie Yu's fans are quite wary of "Thousand Mountains," which airs in the same time slot.
However, perhaps they don't need to be wary at all—inviting Lin Yuan to play Gu Yilou has raised many questions from the very beginning.
Now that "A Thousand Mountains" has been scheduled for release, doubts have resurfaced.
Strangely, "The Immortal" has released three promotional videos showcasing Xie Yu's beauty in all aspects, while the "Thousand Mountains" production team has only released one promotional video so far, and Lin Yuan is not in that video.
The main actors, including Li Mobei and Hua Lin, took turns appearing on screen.
It was initially thought that Gu Yilou's part would appear soon, but two whole weeks have passed and the production team of "Thousand Mountains" has still not released any information about Gu Yilou.
"What's going on?"
"A sudden sense of foreboding arose."
"Hahaha, it's probably because Lin Yuan's portrayal of Gu Yilou was so bad that the director was too embarrassed to release it, right?"
"This is really strange. The production team was very supportive of Lin Yuan before. What's the meaning of not releasing him now?"
The reporter interviewed Qin Panyun.
Qin Panyun said that Lin Yuan was a surprise for the production team and had to be saved for last.
"Hilarious! What kind of face-saving excuse is that? I think it should be 'frightened'!"
"Ahhh, this is the result I was hoping for. When Lin Yuan took over Gu Yilou, he praised her to the skies. Now, I don't even want to think about how badly Lin Yuan acted."
Qin Panyun was not lying, but unfortunately, no one believed her.
His approach is risky and may lead to lower audience expectations for "Thousand Mountains".
Nowadays, moviegoers are very cautious and won't rush to the cinema without careful consideration. They will only buy tickets after confirming the quality of the film.
Audiences are hesitant to buy tickets to support "Thousands of Mountains" because they don't know how well the character Gu Yilou is portrayed.
But Qin Panyun was more concerned about the mystery surrounding the character Gu Yilou.
Lin Yuan has never appeared on the big screen before.
He was looking forward to seeing how scared the audience would be of Lin Yuan.
In addition, this will make some viewers more curious about Gu Yilou and will encourage them to go to the cinema.
The Wei and Jin dynasties were one of them.
As a fan of the book "Thousand Mountains", he would be absolutely unwilling to give up without seeing the finished film with his own eyes.
However, due to the online discussions in the early stages, Wei Jin also had no hope for "Thousand Mountains".
