The press conference for the movie "Sword and Qin" has officially begun.
The press conference will be conducted in a combined online and offline format, with both live streaming and media and fans attending in person, as part of a pre-production promotional campaign.
It's rare to have such a large-scale promotional campaign before filming begins, and given that "Sword and Qin" is being promoted so prominently while the TV series is in its final stages of filming, it has already attracted a lot of attention.
Online real-time discussion.
So far, the cast of the film version of "Sword and Qin" has only announced Lin Manqing, whose character is very different from the original female lead. No other actors have been announced.
but!
According to many insiders on the internal network, the cast of the movie version overlaps with that of the TV series, except that the female lead Wen Ge from the TV series has nothing to do with the movie.
Wen Yi stood behind the promotional stage, where the host was enthusiastically introducing the many conflicts and changes between the film version of "Sword and Qin" and the TV series version.
As the only female lead revealed to the public, Lin Manqing made her first appearance, wearing an ice-blue satin bodycon dress, exuding confidence and arrogance.
Standing there, she's like a female protagonist with sharp thorns, self-centered and arrogant.
Lin Manqing has maintained this image since her debut. Most fans like her arrogant attitude; if she didn't have it, she wouldn't be Lin Manqing.
Wen Yi stood backstage, watching Lin Manqing answer questions from the host and participate in some games.
Then the main event is about to begin.
Host: "As we all know, the cast of the movie version of 'Sword and Qin' cannot be limited to just Manqing as the female lead. Today, we also have the male lead of the movie version and some of the main supporting actors present."
"Do you want to know who the male lead is in the movie version?"
The host kept everyone in suspense.
Meanwhile, fans in the audience who knew in advance who the male lead was had started chanting his name, "Ren Chu, Ren Chu, Ren Chu!"
Ren Chu, a newly popular internet celebrity, is currently enjoying immense popularity, with his fan base growing rapidly and becoming incredibly enthusiastic.
Wen Yi looked at Ren Chu's fans screaming excitedly and became somewhat serious.
Director Tan Ke stood behind Wen Yi and said, "Even now, I still have to say, you are really brave."
Wen turned around and glanced at Director Tan Ke.
"Your actions will directly provoke the dissatisfaction of Ren Chu's fans," the director of Tan Ke warned.
Wen laughed, "So what if I'm dissatisfied? Without dissatisfaction, where would the surge in traffic come from?"
"You've really figured out how to use traffic."
"It's not that I figured it out myself, I learned it from my sister. No one can beat my dear sister when it comes to generating buzz and traffic like this."
Otherwise, Wen Ge wouldn't be able to generate so much buzz and attention even before the show was released.
A newcomer actress with no works to her name is seeing her fan base grow exponentially every day.
"They're here," Wen Yi said, looking towards the stage.
The host looked a little worried when she saw Ren Chu's fans shouting so intensely, but she also had to proceed according to the script she had been given.
The host took a deep breath, "Then let's give a grand welcome to the male lead of the film version of 'Sword and Harp'..."
"Speak! Be stern!"
The host used almost all his strength to shout out those two words.
The moment the host finished speaking, the audience fell silent.
Yan Li, dressed in a simple yet stylish black suit, walked onto the stage with one hand in his pocket and an indifferent expression, taking the microphone from the host.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Li." A simple and direct introduction.
There was a few seconds of silence in the audience, followed by a burst of whispers.
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that the other supporting characters would clash with the TV series version? But is it confirmed that the male lead is Ren Chu?"
"No, we came here because the male lead is Ren Chu, what's going on now?"
"Are you kidding us? The movie and TV series versions both have the same male lead, but they changed the female lead. What kind of ridiculous move is this?"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"This is outrageous! Give us an explanation! We want Ren Chu! What kind of nonsense is this?!"
On the fan platform, Ren Chu's biggest fans stood up to protest, "You clearly told us that Ren Chu would participate, what's going on now!"
"Yeah, they're messing with us!"
"What's this? Are you trying to fool Ren Chu?"
"Do you think Yan Li needs to drag Ren Chu into this situation since he's standing with Ren Chu?"
Yan Li's biggest fans weren't going to take this lying down either; they stood up and started a fight with the other side.
Previously, not only Ren Chu's fans received the news that Ren Chu would attend this promotional press conference, but Yan Li's fans also received the news.
However, everyone thought that Yan Li might just be there to help with promotion, and these fans didn't expect their idol to get the male lead role in the movie version.
But even if I hadn't expected it, I still can't bear to see my idol being questioned like this.
When the two groups of fans were arguing fiercely, security guards stepped in to stop them.
The host took control of the situation, saying, "Fans, please don't get excited. Ren Chu is indeed here to attend this promotional event. She is currently backstage. We need to give her some space to come out."
If this continues, I'm afraid Ren Chu won't be able to get out."
The host is quite skilled; he grasped the key points of the fans in just a few sentences.
Fans come to see their idols, and the idols are waiting backstage. The one who's making a scene at this time isn't just anyone, but their own idol.
After the audience quieted down, the host immediately called out, "Please welcome Ren Chu, the special guest star of the film version of 'Sword and Qin'!"
As the host shouted, Ren Chuyi appeared on stage in a purple suit.
Suits are selective, especially purple ones; generally, someone with a very formal appearance and temperament can't pull them off.
But Ren Chu is different. In the words of her fans, Ren Chu always has a kind of flamboyant feeling, which requires all kinds of bright clothes to set her off.
Ren Chuxiao, dressed in her finest attire, shook hands with Yan Li and gave him a hug when they met.
When Ren Chu was being interviewed standing to the side, her hand was always on Yan Li.
Host: "Wow, Ren Chu, long time no see! You've grown even more handsome. You and our male lead have a good relationship. Is your special appearance in the movie because of Yan Li?"
The question was a bit ambiguous, after all, many people had previously shipped Yan Li and Ren Chu as a couple, and the host was trying to ease the tension.
Ren Chu glanced at Yan Li, "Not really, half and half, but what ultimately made me decide to come over was someone else."
"Oh, who is this person?"
"Shi Nanhua, the general director of the film version of 'Sword and Qin'".
"The name 'Photinia' is a household name in the film industry, with two films holding the highest box office record to date."
"Yes, she invited me, so I have to come. Besides, she was here today, so I still have to come!"
