I thought that after going back to the old house, I could finally get a good rest the next day.
As a result, Qiao Lin called me as soon as I got up the next day.
"Weiwei, there have been some negative reports about our movie online."
Gu Weiwei squinted, not fully awake yet.
"It's probably malicious competition from other films released at the same time. They knew our premiere was coming up soon and deliberately released this information. In short, there's a general lack of optimism online about your film right now," Qiao Lin said.
Moreover, it was the big influencers who started stirring things up late last night. They've been focused on the film's post-production lately and haven't paid much attention to the online activity.
As it turned out, the news had already spread so widely online that it couldn't be suppressed any longer.
"When have I ever been favored by anyone? Everything will be decided after the movie is released."
The movie hasn't even been released yet, and people are already criticizing her without even watching it.
"And the Imperial Film Academy is also involved; they gave you a public reprimand today," Qiao Lin said with a sigh.
Gu Weiwei sat up abruptly. "What did you criticize me for?"
Qiao Lin: "Since you enrolled, you've been on long leave of absence and haven't attended a single day of class. The school says students should do student things; you're trying to run before you can even crawl..."
Although in his opinion, with her level of ability, the Imperial Film Academy in Beijing couldn't teach her anything at all.
However, being publicly criticized by the school, especially at this critical juncture, is indeed not a good thing.
Gu Weiwei brushed her messy hair aside. "I really didn't go to school, so their criticism is justified."
"What should we do then? If we don't come up with a solution soon, you'll probably be trending on social media again," Qiao Lin said.
"Whatever, consider it advance publicity and warm-up."
Gu Weiwei sighed. She had originally hoped to rest today and accompany Fu Hanzheng to the company.
It seems that I can't go now.
"Why don't we talk to the school and ask them to take that message down?" Qiao Lin asked.
"No need," Gu Weiwei said as she got out of bed. "Even if they're released, people will still know. Let's talk about it when I get to the company."
As the Beijing Film Academy said, students should do what students should do.
However, she simply didn't have the time to waste at school, and the Imperial Cinema couldn't teach her anything better about movies.
In preparation for filming "The Dream of Immortality," she studied on her own, attended top European film academies, and consulted with several film masters.
She no longer had the interest or time to learn these basic film school courses.
Moreover, she believes that the release of "Half Awake" will be the best proof for her.
She hung up the phone. Fu Hanzheng had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and was buttoning his shirt.
"Aren't you coming to the company with me?"
"Something came up, I need to go to Shiyi Culture." Gu Weiwei sighed regretfully.
"Is there trouble?"
Fu Hanzheng buttoned up his shirt and, holding his tie, said...
Gu Weiwei took the tie and tried to tie it for him, but found that she couldn't reach it.
Fu Hanzheng picked her up and put her on the sofa so she could hang the tie around his neck.
Gu Weiwei tied his tie and carefully straightened his shirt collar.
"It's just a little bit detrimental to the film's promotion, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Fu Hanzheng put on his suit jacket and looked at her as he spoke.
“Other people go to their boyfriends when they have trouble, but you don’t. It makes me feel like I’m useless as your boyfriend.”
Gu Weiwei stood at the same height as him, on the sofa, and leaned in to give him a light kiss on the lips.
"Isn't this the use?"
