Chapter 562: Business, We Are Professional
Tencent Video originally planned to organize a small meeting, and the subsequent activities would be the main promotional activity.
Who knew that more and more fans would sign up through various channels, and in the end they had no choice but to find a school auditorium that could accommodate a thousand people as the venue.
The time for the fan meeting has arrived. Suddenly, melodious music rang out in the auditorium, and the originally noisy venue gradually quieted down.
"You came across the sea of stars, carrying light
My heart is like dust and I can't bear to stain my skirt
Love is unique and fireworks are favored by the stars
”
Reba wore a light pink long dress and put on the same makeup as "Qiao Jingjing" in the TV series. She walked up from the backstage while singing with a microphone.
The song she sang was the theme song of "You Are My Glory", "Fireworks and Stars".
"Reba is so beautiful!"
"Qiao Jingjing, Jingjing is so beautiful!"
“.”
Fans cheered loudly when they saw Reba appear.
"I turned around and realized that my heart was empty
Longing overflows the starry river and surges into the sea
Fireworks also want to give stars a future
”
After Reba finished singing a section, another familiar and magnetic male voice took over. Gu Wei, wearing a black suit and holding a microphone, walked to the front of the stage from the other direction.
As soon as he appeared, the fans in the audience burst into thunderous screams.
“Ahhhh!!”
"Gu Wei, I love you!"
“Yu Tu, Yu Tu!!”
“My husband is so handsome!!”
“.”
The various shouts seemed to be about to rip the roof off the auditorium.
Gu Wei and Reba ignored the fans' madness. They walked to the center of the stage, holding a microphone in one hand and holding the other palm upright. They stood facing each other, looked at each other, and slowly put their palms together.
"Yu Tu, Qiao Jingjing!"
"It's too sweet, too sweet, I need to take insulin!"
"Together! Together!"
“.”
The fans in the audience went crazy when they saw the two singing in perfect harmony. They shouted and were completely immersed in the super sweet CP of "Glory Couple".
After putting their palms together, Gu Wei and the other man smiled at each other, turned around to face the audience, and continued singing side by side.
[Fireworks Star] ended, the host came on stage and started the meeting process, and the fans gradually calmed down.
As the protagonists of today, Gu Wei and Reba stayed on the stage.
The procedures of fan meetings are basically the same, and Gu Wei has often held them to promote movies and TV series before.
It's nothing more than the same few processes: stars perform to warm up the audience, interact with fans and answer some questions, and then invite lucky fans to come on stage to give out some autographed photos or souvenirs and other benefits.
If there are many stars on the crew, they will play some small games for the fans in the audience.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit like a "beggar's version of Happy Camp."
Today is no exception.
The opening song sung by Gu Wei and Reba really heated up the place, and then they interacted with fans and answered questions.
Tencent arranged some agents to be present at the venue to ask questions, and only very few opportunities were given to real fans, mainly to avoid asking questions that were difficult to answer and causing awkward situations.
After the interactive session, Gu Wei and Reba played two small games together at the host's request, such as looking at each other closely for 30 seconds and drinking from the wedding cup. In short, the purpose of this meeting was to allow the "Glory Couple" to get together and show their affection as sweetly as possible.
Of course, Gu Wei and Reba’s performance was impeccable. In the eyes of fans below the stage, they looked like a couple truly in love.
Everyone watched their various intimate little movements and the exchange of eyes, and became more and more fascinated.
What is the most important thing for an idol drama to become popular? The plot is one aspect, but whether the male and female protagonists have a good CP feeling is the most important.
Audiences who choose to watch idol dramas want to see handsome men and beautiful women having a sweet love affair, so the more romantic the drama, the better they like it.
The producers and platforms are also aware of this, so now when idol dramas are online, the actors of the male and female protagonists will inevitably come out to work together.
These off-screen promotional activities, the feeling of interaction between stars, and everyone's real relationships will all have an impact on the audience's viewing of the drama.
For example, when "My Fair Princess" was a huge hit, the audience felt that "Erkang" and "Ziwei" were a perfect match, and their scenes together were very sweet.
But later, Ruby Lin and Zhou Jie broke up and even attacked each other. When I watched their intimate scenes in "Return of the Condor Heroes", I couldn't relate to them at all and just found them ridiculous.
There are also some actors who fell in love during the filming of a TV series, but later broke up for various reasons.
When the TV series was released, they were asked to promote it together. During the interview, the two of them disliked each other. In this situation, how can the audience empathize with the sweet love between the male and female protagonists?
After the mini-game was over, the staff brought up a big box containing the numbers of all the fans present today. Gu Wei and Reba each drew a few lucky audience members. The fans who were drawn could go on stage to take photos with "Yu Tu" and "Qiao Jingjing", and also receive exquisite gifts related to the "You Are My Glory" campaign presented by the organizer.
With the end of the last segment, today's fan meeting came to an end. Thousands of fans reluctantly left the venue, and Gu Wei and Reba also returned to the backstage to rest.
"Tired?"
"Fortunately, today's event is much more interesting than the usual commercial performances." Reba took the water cup handed to her by the assistant and took a sip. Although she is thin, she has no shortage of physical strength. The entire meeting lasted about two hours, and she was energetic throughout.
"The last time we held a fan meeting together was for [Three Lives, Three Worlds], but that time I was a supporting role, performing with Zhang Zhiyao, Gao Wei and the others.
Now I have become the protagonist.
Honestly, it feels really good!"
[Eternal Love] was also of great help to Reba. It can be said that she really became popular because of the role of "Bai Fengjiu", but during the promotion, she was still a supporting actress and her weight could not be compared with the male and female protagonists.
No matter how much profit Reba gets from "Eternal Love", that drama is ultimately Yang Mi's drama, and "You Are My Glory" is the drama that truly belongs to her.
After a break, Gu Wei and Reba started the interview session of Tengxun Video again.
"Gu Wei is actually very similar to his character, a male idol!
It’s just that Yu Tu keeps a lot of things to himself, but Gu Wei doesn’t. He loves to laugh and makes everyone laugh from time to time. He’s much more cheerful than Yu Tu.”
The first question is to ask the two people whether they think the other person is very different from the character?
"Reba is Qiao Jingjing herself. First of all, Reba is a very beautiful big star, and her personality is lively, cute and very understanding. There is no need for acting at all."
'What character trait do you most want to possess?'
"Actually, I also had a space dream when I was a kid. The stars and the sea, that's a boy's romance. I envy Yu Tu for having such profound aerospace knowledge and being able to accomplish such a great cause as space exploration."
"I have everything she has." Rebas thought about it and said bluntly.
"Yes, that's her." Gu Wei interrupted with a smile.
"She may not have what I have~" Reba smiled and said confidently.
"Tell me the three cutest things about Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu."
Reba and Gu Wei looked at each other and smiled.
"He's so cute when he says sweet words; he's so cute when he pretends to be serious even though he clearly likes her; and he's so cute when they're together later on, how he treats Qiao Jingjing." It can be seen that even if you ask Yu Tu more about his cuteness, Reba can answer them all.
Gu Wei thought about it
"A lot of Qiao Jingjing's clothes are pink, and she likes bunnies. She's so cute because she has a girly heart. Her expressions of love for someone are so adorable. And finally, Qiao Jingjing looks the cutest!"
"Don't they say that praising a girl for being cute means she's not pretty?" After Gu Wei said that, Reba laughed and argued with him.
"Because the question is about cuteness, but cuteness is only one side of Qiao Jingjing. She also has elegant, sexy, cheerful, gentle, and other different sides."
"Okay, you pass."
'What's the most memorable scene in the drama?'
"KTV?"
"Yes, the KTV scene!" Gu Wei and Reba's eyes met, and they both gave the answer at the same time.
"That scene was when Qiao Jingjing was at a class reunion. When no one expected it, Yu Tu confessed his love to Qiao Jingjing in front of everyone.
It’s quite provocative~” Gu Wei asked Reba with a smile after explaining.
“Yes~
Because Yu Tu’s character in the script is that of a calm science and engineering guy.
At first, he rejected a girl as beautiful as Qiao Jingjing.
I won’t be tempted by anything, nor will I actively pursue a girl.”
When Reba said "reject Qiao Jingjing", she deliberately glanced at Gu Wei and emphasized the words "so beautiful".
“But in that scene, it felt like he had lowered himself to do this when no one expected it.
So that scene left a deep impression on me.”
'How do you feel about this collaboration?'
“Reba and I have known each other for a long time, and this is not the first time we have worked together.
It’s just that when we filmed together before, we had very few scenes together and the relationship between the characters was not that close.
Working together on "You Are My Glory" this time was quite a fresh experience, after all, she had always played my junior, my junior sister, or my niece before."
"Haha." After Gu Wei said that, Reba also laughed.
"Didn't the internet say that after filming so many dramas, I can finally play a couple with Gu Wei? This means that my seniority in the drama has been increasing. Maybe in the future I can play your elder~" Reba said, looking at Gu Wei with a smile.
"You have great ambitions. According to the elders, I think you can play my aunt." Gu Wei said jokingly.
“It’s not that I can’t.”
After the interview, Gu Wei and the others ate their work lunch as the sky gradually darkened.
The Bund in Shanghai.
On the left is the surging Huangpu River, and on the right are dozens of classical revival buildings of different styles.
As night fell, the sky was completely dark, but neon lights were flashing everywhere and the lights on the buildings were shining, making it as bright as day.
Gu Wei and Reba walked side by side on the beautiful street, posing for photos from time to time as requested by the staff.
"Teacher Gu Wei, please turn around. Yes, with the Huangpu River as the background, it's very nice for the two of us to look at each other."
The director's voice came over, and Gu Wei did exactly as he was asked.
"Put the balloon behind you and bring it to the front, between the two of you."
After filming for a while, the director asked the assistant next to him, "When does the drone show start?"
"Right away, ten minutes left!"
"Mr. Gu Wei, Ms. Reba, we will zoom out during the drone show and let the drone light show serve as the background. You two should just continue with the same moves as before and act more intimate." The director came forward and talked to the two of them about the shooting requirements for a while.
"I understand~"
The two nodded.
Soon, it was time for the light show.
In the night, hundreds of drones took off with lights on, forming various patterns in the night sky.
“You are my glory”
"Glory is coming, live up to the starlight"
"Tengxun Video, the only video on the entire network"
"Gu Wei is decorated on the road"
"Dilraba Dilmurat as Qiao Jingjing"
“.”
Drones high in the night sky displayed various advertising slogans, changing every five minutes.
"Is it beautiful?"
"It's really nice. I've seen a lot of ads, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of ad format."
Gu Wei and Reba looked up at the night sky side by side. Gu Wei held a bunch of balloons in one hand and held Reba's hand with the other. The camera shot the two from the back and side.
"Look, it's changed again, this time it's a pattern, amazing!"
The swarm of drones in the night sky changed from words to a man and a woman sitting on a bench. Reba pointed in the direction of the sky and exclaimed.
The pattern of the light show changed again, from an image to a line of text.
"The look in your eyes shows my blatant love"
Seeing this sentence, Reba subconsciously lowered her head to look at Gu Wei beside her.
In this romantic environment, she seemed to be back in the happy days of filming "You Are My Glory".
"What's wrong?"
Gu Wei, who was originally looking up at the sky, also noticed Reba's burning gaze. He turned around and looked at her with a smile, his eyes as gentle as water.
He turned slightly to the side, and the two of them stood side by side and then faced each other, their eyes meeting, as if strong love was conveyed in their sight.
“Great, great, that’s the feeling!”
The director's depressing voice brought Reba back to her senses.
She was slightly stunned, and then her smile spread like a blooming flower.
"It's okay, I just thought of a lot of happy things. Let's continue looking at the lights. A few more shapes will also meet the director's requirements."
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
Tonight, countless people across Shanghai watched this beautiful drone light show from all angles.
The fan meeting organized by Tencent Video, the interview video and the night video of Gu Wei and Reba strolling on the Bund were all immediately posted on the website as exciting videos related to the TV series.
This wave of publicity has made the already popular "You Are My Glory" even more popular.
It has received several hot searches.
The number of views of the TV series soared, and the total number of views quickly exceeded 6 billion and was heading towards 10 billion.
Countless netizens and fans were touched by the sweetness of Gu Wei and Reba’s business.
[It’s over, it’s over. This is too sweet. I’m so happy. I’m so happy.]
[These two are so good-looking, they're such a perfect match. Can you really have a relationship for me?!]
【Glory couple yyds! 】
[I never thought that Gu Wei and Reba would be such a perfect match. They are simply a match made in heaven!]
Are they really in a relationship? I don't think they want to act. Reba's eyes when she looks at Gu Wei are clearly filled with affection, and their words during the interview are so heartwarming, just like a real couple!
[Yes, I think they fell in love because of the drama. Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing, Gu Wei and Reba, it's hard to tell them apart in and out of the drama!]
"Glory" is the most immersive drama I've seen in recent years, mainly because the two main actors are so dedicated, it feels like they are really in love!
"You Are My Glory" is great, but don't try to tie it in with other shows. It's just a sweet treat for fans. My brother is always serious and responsible about his dramas. Please support Gu Wei!
