Director Zeng then spoke up: "It's also possible that Xu Yanyu hadn't found the knack for acting before. I think she has a real talent for acting. How many people in the industry are as good-looking as her?"
"She's more qualified than anyone else to play roles like the fairy Chang'e, or those who bring ruin to the country."
Fei Zeyu almost burst out laughing when he heard what Director Zeng said.
Xu Yanyu looked at Director Zeng speechlessly. It would have been better if Director Zeng hadn't said anything at all. Wasn't this just an implicit agreement with what netizens had said before, that she could only play pretty face roles?
Most people had left, and Xu Yanyu was about to depart as well.
She waited to hitch a ride with Director Wu to leave.
It was getting late, and considering that she didn't have a car, Director Wu had arranged to take her home early in the morning.
Director Wu patted Director Zeng on the shoulder, "We're leaving now. Congratulations in advance. This film is very well made; just wait to win a major award."
"I'm not worried about winning awards," Director Zeng said, scratching his head and smiling happily.
He turned to look at Xu Yanyu, as if he had remembered something, and said to Xu Yanyu, "Yanyu, I've come to the wrong person today. Director Bai Xinjin is quite selective about his films, both in terms of acting skills and the availability of actors."
His acting isn't suitable for you, so don't take his words to heart. Oh, and don't take Fei Zeyu's words to heart either; how many people have his talent? Yu Jingya also had to hone her skills to become a good actress.
It's a pity my new film is still pending! Otherwise, I would definitely have given you a good role.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Zeng," Xu Yanyu replied with a smile.
She just found it hard not to take Bai Xinjin's words to heart today.
If she really doesn't mind, she would definitely be happy to sell the song to Bai Xinjin.
She refuses to sell because she's unwilling to give up.
She was actually quite competitive today because of these people.
One or two people said her acting was bad.
Since she needs to collect reputation, she also needs to consider whether she should expand her training tracks.
It was nearly 11 p.m. when Xu Yanyu returned to the hotel.
Only then did she have time to play on her phone and check Weibo news.
As soon as she logged into Sina Weibo, her backend showed multiple unread messages.
Besides unread messages, many people also commented on her latest Weibo post, with tens of thousands of comments alone.
This is quite rare. She's been keeping a low profile lately, and her Weibo posts usually only get a few thousand comments. It's unusual that she's gone viral again today.
Xu Yanyu opened the comments section and found that everyone's discussion was indeed related to Director Zeng's movie.
[Qiang Tou, you really do big things quietly! You've actually landed a collaboration with a famous director.]
Yan Yu, you haven't been streaming much lately. What have you been up to? You're not doing variety shows, singing, or releasing albums. Are you thinking of retiring from the entertainment industry?
Okay, fine... if you play the song "The Road of Life," we'll forgive you.
[Qiang Tou, have you asked Director Zeng to give you a few roles to play?]
Although everyone says your acting is terrible, I don't think other celebrities are much better.
At least I can watch your movies with a decent face. I like your looks, love your face!
[Waaaaah, I just finished watching Director Zeng's movie and I'm here to report to the boss. "The Ordinary Road" is great, and "The Road of Life" is a wonderful surprise!]
Qiangtou, sing some more songs! I can't get enough, I can't get enough at all!
[Qiang Tou, just focus on singing. Don't listen to that guy; he's really gone off to act again. Acting really isn't for you.]
[Qiang Tou can only make big money by acting! I just saw that the donation statement released by Qiang Tou's Xu Yanyu Charity Foundation shows that she donated another sum of money to left-behind children.]
If she uses all the money she earns for good deeds, I wouldn't mind if she made some bad movies.
With her current status, she could probably earn millions from a single film.
Seeing her work so hard to earn money through live streaming really breaks my heart.
[Yeah, releasing albums and livestreaming only bring in small amounts of money, not enough for Yan Yu to squander. Other people's fans worry about their idols not being famous, but we fans are worried about her not earning enough money.]
[Acting can even boost your star power! Yu Jingya starred in this film directed by Zeng, and her fan base grew from eight million to fifteen million. Just think about the benefits of acting...]
...
Regarding the donations mentioned by fans, Xu Yanyu actually did it willingly on her own.
She made too much money from her songs in her past life; she couldn't spend it all by herself. So she decided to give some of it back to those in need.
Moreover, spending money isn't without its benefits for her; that's how a good reputation is built.
However, she is more concerned about another comment now.
Xu Yanyu stared at that comment for a long time. Yu Jingya's number of fans had actually increased from eight million to fifteen million?
He gained nearly half of his followers, all because he made a movie?
Unconvinced, she opened the search bar on Weibo and entered Yu Jingya's name.
Wow, they really have 15 million followers!
The speed at which they're gaining followers is like a rocket!
Xu Yanyu didn't believe in superstitions; perhaps Yu Jingya already had quite a few fans.
She scrolled down further and saw Yu Jingya's latest Weibo post.
To celebrate the successful premiere of Director Zeng's film, and also to celebrate my personal fan base growing from eight million to fifteen million.
I'm sending out random red envelopes of 100 yuan each, let's all have some fun!
The number of followers is increasing at a speed that's like a rocket!
Xu Yanyu opened Yu Jingya's comment section and saw the first few comments.
I think I've seen you in quite a few TV shows before, but seeing you play Xiao Lian today deeply moved me. You acted very well, Xiao Lian is fantastic! I'm following you!
