Chapter 68
A few months after the film was submitted for review, it was scheduled to be released on the last day of the year, which was the New Year's Day period.
Because of the incident with Yu Miao, this low-budget movie adapted from an online novel attracted a lot of attention.
With Yu Miao's withdrawal from the group, news about the Immortal Master Xie Jingyuan went viral. In addition, Yu Miao's studio continued to reveal big scandals due to tax issues. The topic of this low-budget movie continued to rise, and it was highly anticipated.
On the day of the premiere, the attendance rate was very high, and even passers-by who didn't read online articles were watching the comments after the premiere.
Although the fighting scenes and texture of this movie can be seen from the Reuters, after watching it in the cinema, it still exceeded the audience's expectations: [It's good! There is no magic change to the original work! The rhythm is very good, there are no boring parts throughout, and it is very fun to watch! ]
[Director Li is really good at training new actors, and all the actors’ acting skills are online! The male and female protagonists are very relaxed, but very natural. But Xie Jingyuan...it doesn’t look like he is acting, he is so handsome!!!]
[As a low-budget movie adapted from an online novel, the film is very well done! Every character is very interesting. The male protagonist cultivates immortality but has a devilish heart, the female protagonist cultivates devils but does not improve her mind... And Xie Jingyuan is so strong that I am fascinated by him. Although he is strong and indifferent, the complex eyes that flash from time to time make people want to explore his past. ]
The film has a brisk pace and does not deliberately add any bitter and vengeful plot for the sake of depth, but rather hides the idea of chivalry in the joyful plot.
This fast-paced movie is very suitable for the New Year's Day period. For a time, the box office continued to rise, even beating some commercial blockbusters of the same period.
The accounts of the main actors in the movie are gaining followers on various platforms, but if we were to say who is the most popular among them, it would still be Xie Jingyuan, who has been in the circle from novels to movies.
[Director Li, I know you had a quarrel with Yu Miao over the issue of adding scenes, but how could you resist giving such a great actor more scenes?]
[Wow, wow, wow, your Majesty has very few scenes, but I was mesmerized by these few glimpses. The child is now frantically looking for food. ]
[Who is Xie Jingyuan? Has he acted in any other costume dramas? Urgent]
I knew from the beginning that some of Xie Jingyuan's clips were amazing, but without the wires and green screen, and with the addition of special effects, light and shadow, and 3D effects, watching it in front of the big screen, it felt a bit unreal, as if this person really existed and was just about to walk out of the screen.
However, not only can we not find a Weibo account for the actor Xie Jingyuan, but even the cast list says he is anonymous.
Moreover, in the crew's promotional activities, all other important actors were present, but this anonymous teacher never showed up, as if he only existed in the movie and not in reality.
[In fact, when the Reuters news came out, we were scratching our heads and said that this teacher had retired to the mountains again. Now seeing waves of new fans scratching their heads again, it’s so funny. I’m finally not the one being tortured anymore, hahahaha]
[Does anyone still remember the original 404 God? This teacher was born in a mysterious hidden family, so it cannot be mentioned. Everyone, take a break. ]
The movie continues to attract new audiences, and Xie Jingyuan's actor also continues to attract new fans, with wave after wave of people looking for this actor.
Finally, the topic #Xie Jingyuan actor# became a hot search.
However, no matter how many investigations were carried out, there was still no result. This person had never appeared in the entertainment industry.
Fans are going crazy: [Is there really someone who has made a movie, and there is no such person in the entertainment industry? ! ! ]
Finally, some media outlets did interview former crew members. The rest of the staff members didn't dare to say much, fearing that they would be sued by Li Jingwei. They only revealed one key piece of information: the teacher's surname was Gu.
The fans immediately became excited: [Surname Gu!!!]
[Your surname is Gu... I have a feeling... it's familiar...]
[Do you remember when we were discussing this teacher, we kept getting 404s? We couldn't find out the legendary hidden Xuanmen family, and the mysterious Gu family hasn't been revealed yet... Is it possible that these two families are the same? ]
[This Gu family is indeed full of talented people. It is not surprising that they can produce someone as extraordinary as Teacher Gu? ]
At this time, the second-generation rich blogger who had been to the banquet gave feedback again: [Wait a minute! I had a glimpse of Mr. Gu at the banquet. The actor who played Xie Jingyuan really looked like Mr. Gu... But the two have different temperaments, and the makeup of the ancient costume was very heavy. I am a little unsure? ]
The fans were even more excited: [I said it at the beginning! This Teacher Gu is very likely Mr. Gu! You still don’t believe it! ]
[Not necessarily! Didn’t I hear the blogger say that the two people have different temperaments? Isn’t she also not sure? Is it possible that Mr. Gu and Teacher Gu are brothers, so they look alike? ]
[I also think it is impossible that they are the same person. Mr. Gu is a big shot in the business world. How could he go to film a movie? Although Mr. Gu is very powerful, he can't be able to light up both martial arts and acting skills, right? This is simply a hexagonal warrior, which is outrageous. ]
For a time, there were different opinions as to whether Xie Jingyuan’s actor, Mr. Gu, was actually Mr. Gu.
[Mr. Gu, Professor Gu, Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu... I don't think it's that simple. The first few are within the range of normal people, but Mr. Gu doesn't look like an ordinary person. Could it be that he has lived for thousands of years and changed his identity every once in a while? So Mr. Gu's real identity is actually... the ancestor of the Gu family? After all, there are really many hidden and mysterious families in our country...]
When this analysis came out, it triggered a lot of ridicule and approval. However, soon after, as the number of reposts increased, it was 404ed again.
Li Jingwei had to clarify: "Teacher Gu has retired to the mountains and forests and will not appear on camera again. Please stop making random guesses."
However, after this was said, everyone guessed more enthusiastically, but still found nothing in their search for 404 results.
[To this day, we still don’t know the name of Mr. Gu, Professor Gu, Mr. Gu, or Teacher Gu…]
[I heard that Teacher Gu will not appear again. Will this... become an unsolved mystery?! ]
[In fact, the existence of this family is also an unsolved mystery...]
…
During the New Year's Day holiday, Li Tingqin and Gu Chen returned to the mountains for vacation as usual. Now, the large bathtub in the living room finally came in handy.
Gu Chen and Li Tingqin were soaking in the pool together. Li Tingqin's strong and powerful arms were around his shoulders, and Gu Chen leaned lazily and relaxedly in his arms.
The day before New Year's Day this year happened to be the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar. Through the two transparent single-sided glass windows in the bathroom, you can see a cold full moon hanging in the sky. The cherry tree in the yard was left with only bare branches in winter, but the bamboo forest was still green, dancing in the moonlight.
The view outside the window was cold and clear, but the room was extremely warm. The bathtub was filled with hot steam, and the small stove next to it was warming the cherry wine brewed in the summer.
Li Tingqin picked up the porcelain cup and brought it to Gu Chen's lips, and Gu Chen took a sip from his hand.
Li Tingqin said, "Ah Chen, that movie is out, do you want to go watch it together tomorrow?"
Gu Chen gave Li Tingqin a look and said, "I don't want to watch this movie again, thank you."
Although Li Tingqin used up all the costumes within a month, and it was already summer, he still declined the film. It was okay if he did it on purpose the first time, but it was also very embarrassing to watch yourself acting too much...
Li Tingqin said: "Okay, then let's celebrate the New Year together tonight and catch up on some sleep at home tomorrow."
When Gu Chen heard the word "New Year's Eve", he felt a little dazed, as if it was a long time ago. He looked at Li Tingqin beside him, suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."
The moon in the sky is still a little short of being completely full, but tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and it will become even rounder.
…
Spring has come in a blink of an eye, and it is almost the day when "Love Tutorial Class" was broadcast last year. However, whether it is variety show fans, celebrity fans or CP fans, they all feel sad.
[Although according to the rules, you should have been extended to the end of time, but at this moment, the memory of the dead begins to attack me again...]
[Xiao Yuan retired after his comeback and winning the championship, Brother Ting brought Xixi home and successfully inherited the family property, Qingyue and Xingzhou are preparing to get married, President Qiao is dating a new partner, Professor Kong and Professor Yu are worried about their students finding jobs, Mr. Gu and President Li are already an old married couple... Only you! You are still standing still, I want to ask you when you are going to restart! ]
In fact, a year has passed, and the production team of "Love Tutorial Class" should have needed to prepare for the new third season of the show. However, the second season last year was not completed at all, not even half of it was filmed.
Now, the original guests' schedules seem to have become available, and they are also lobbying hard.
When Li Tingqin received the news from the program team, he hesitated for a moment. Now he feels a little regretful that he did not participate with Gu Chen at the beginning.
Now he is preparing for a honeymoon with Gu Chen. Actually, there is time, but it depends on whether Ah Chen is willing. He flipped through the contract sent by the program team and asked, "Ah Chen, what do you think?"
Gu Chen thought back to when he first came here. Although it was only a year ago, it suddenly felt like a long time ago. He said, "It's okay, but let's just shoot for 1 minute and 59 seconds. After that, we'll leave?"
"Okay, it seems that Achen and I agree." Li Tingqin nodded. In fact, all he wanted was a perfect ending. It would be a waste of their time if they had to spend a lot of time filming the show.
When Li Tingqin was arranging his work and preparing to take time off for his honeymoon, Mr. Li called again: "Um... Tingqin... Xiaochen has been resting at home for almost a year. If you really can't bear to let him go, why not let him go to the group and work with you? That way you can still see him every day."
Ever since Tingqin returned to China and lived with Xiaochen, Xiaochen didn't go to work every day, and Tingqin also didn't like to work overtime. Although not working overtime is a good thing, he always feels that something is not right?
Li Tingqin said: "Grandpa, Ah Chen's investment brings in a lot of money every month, which is good."
Old Master Li sighed and said, "Well, Xiao Chen is indeed very capable, but..." He always felt that young people should have a career?
Li Tingqin said, "Oh, Grandpa, I was just about to tell you about this. Ah Chen and I are planning to go on a honeymoon together. I'd like to trouble you for help with the group's affairs in the next two months."
Mr. Li: “…………? You guys…” He had been persuading Xiaochen to go to work for a year, but in the end, not only did Xiaochen not go to work, but even Tingqin did not go to work, right? ! The final result was that he went to work himself? !
Li Tingqin added: "Grandpa, in fact, it is mainly handed over to Jiashu. You just need to check it for him."
Old Master Li: “…………Jiashu?” Why do I feel so much more miserable in these two months?
After a year, the marriage and romance variety show "Love Tutorial Class" has finally decided to restart!
This time, Mr. Gu will not only continue to participate in the show, he will even bring his partner, Mr. Li, along!
The fans of the show who were eagerly waiting were counting the seconds and waiting eagerly.
The program process is still the same as the second season. After three days of shooting, the daily videos of couples and spouses are finally out!
【Ahhhhh it’s coming! 】
[But there is one more person here, Mr. Gu, and it still takes less than two minutes? ]
[1 minute and 58 seconds, exactly the same time as when Mr. Gu first appeared...]
The beginning is the same. Mr. Gu is sitting under the floor-to-ceiling window in simple home clothes and reading a newspaper. But the scene changes and another man in the same home clothes is sitting opposite him. Everyone knows that this is Mr. Li.
In the short video, it is still the same daily scene as in the past, Mr. Gu is exercising, Mr. Gu is reading, Mr. Gu is drinking tea...
[It's so short...it seems...there's nothing exciting?]
[Is there any expert who can come and analyze and interpret it? ]
[It seems like there is nothing to interpret here? We all know that Mr. Gu is a big shot, so there is no point in interpreting the past. ]
[Fool, who told you to interpret whether a boss is a boss or not? This is a dating variety show, of course you should support the couple! ]
The blogger who analyzed Mr. Gu back then came back and immediately said: [Who said there is nothing left to analyze! There are so many things that can be analyzed in these 1 minute and 58 seconds! ]
[First, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li are wearing the same home clothes, their slippers are couple slippers, and their drinking cups can even be put together. I searched and found that they are also the works of the porcelain master. The master even posted it. It was custom-made by a loving couple, and they also custom-made many pairs... Look, aren’t there a lot of them on the shelf...]
[Second, Mr. Gu is still wearing a sports watch on his wrist, but Mr. Li has also changed his watch to the same sports watch. In the past, Mr. Gu went up the mountain to exercise alone, but now Mr. Li is with him~]
[Third, Mr. Gu used to make his own tea when he read books or newspapers, but now it is Mr. Li who makes tea for him. The two of them seem to have very similar interests and can discuss things together.]
[Fourth, several paintings on the wall are works by the famous contemporary painter Li Hongying. They are all good intentions such as congratulating the couple on their wedding. It can be seen how much Mr. Li’s family supports this marriage...]
【fifth……】
[In short, this short video is full of highlights, and there are still many details that can be explored. You really need a microscope to look at them frame by frame! Mr. Gu and Mr. Li are really a perfect couple!!!]
[Wow, Mr. Gu was on the show alone at the beginning, and he didn’t even add Mr. Li on WeChat, but now they are so sweet...]
[Is this the ending of the marriage first, love later story? ! ]
After Li Tingqin arranged his work and finished filming this episode with Gu Chen, they will go on their honeymoon tomorrow.
At this moment, they were lying together on the lounge chairs, with a cup of tea at hand, basking in the warm spring sunshine and watching the falling flowers.
