After the premiere of "Eagle Eye", Gu Weiwei followed the main cast and crew to begin a nationwide promotional tour.
With director Mo Jiao and three-time Golden Horse Award winner Song Yu in the lead role, such a strong cast is enough to attract people to the cinema.
As a result, after the first day of release, the most discussed topic online was Mu Weiwei, who played the female lead.
[I originally watched it because of my idol, but I was completely won over by the female lead, Mu Weiwei's, amazing acting.]
[I watched "Eagle Eye" on my knees. The actor played two roles: Huo Jing, cold-blooded and ruthless, and Huo Xiaoshi, intelligent and resourceful—they were completely different people.]
[Director Mo loves shooting close-ups, but this demands extremely high levels of skill in the actors' body language and facial expressions. Mu Weiwei is truly amazing; she portrays every close-up perfectly.]
[Acting alongside Song Yu, a three-time film and television award winner, her presence was absolutely on par.]
...
With top-notch acting from both the male and female leads, and being director Mo Jiao's big-budget production of the year, the film broke box office records almost every day since its release.
In fact, its box office revenue in just a few days surpassed that of several blockbuster films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Eagle Eye, Mu Weiwei, and Song Yu, who plays Xiang Linyuan.
Almost every day, one of these three tags would trend on the hot search list, and the box office of "Eagle Eye" would also rise accordingly.
The second male lead, Chu Chen, was injured and unable to participate in the promotions. While the popularity of other cast members soared, he could only make his presence known on Weibo.
During the promotional period, Gu Weiwei and other members of the production team sent some fruit as a token of their appreciation.
Then, the next day, Chu Chen posted on Weibo to thank everyone for their concern.
However, she also posted a special photo showing off the fruit Mu Weiwei had given her, and expressed her gratitude to her.
In the drama, Huo Jing, played by Mu Weiwei, and Wei Jing, played by Chu Chen, are both directors of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
In reality, the two had such interactions again.
Thus, after becoming the "only CP" with Fu Shiyi, Mu Weiwei also has the "section chief CP".
However, Mu Weiwei's fans didn't buy it, but Chu Chen's fans and many netizens who were unaware of the situation were quite supportive.
After seeing this message, Qiao Lin was furious.
"CP, you bastard! Don't you even know your own worth?"
Despite having a broken hand and an injured foot, they still wouldn't stop, forcibly buying trending topics and forming a CP with them.
That basket of fruit was a gift from everyone in the crew. He arranged for someone from his company to buy it and send it over in the name of his artist. He can even make a fuss over something like that.
Gu Weiwei glanced at her phone and rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"It's fortunate that he was injured and didn't go on the promotional tour, otherwise... it would have been even more difficult to guard against."
Although Fu Hanzheng didn't say it, it's highly likely that Chu Chen's injury was related to him, in order to prevent Chu Chen from promoting the matter with them again.
But even though he's recovering in the hospital, he can still create some scandals with her.
Qiao Lin gritted his teeth in resentment. "Trying to cause trouble, huh? I'll make sure you get what's coming to you, or I'm not Qiao!"
Anyway, the movie has been in theaters for more than half a month now, and the promotional period is almost over.
Chu Chen had just been trending on social media for a day because of the "Director CP" (a term referring to a couple in a relationship), and then the media broke the news.
[A recently popular young actor surnamed Chu was once kept by a married female tycoon, and his debut film was invested in by the same woman.]
The recent hot young male celebrity with the surname Chu was almost immediately identified by netizens as Chu Chen.
