Chapter 44



Huo Qu's tone was so sincere, every word he said seemed to come from his heart, with naked sincerity.

Yu Qinghuan only felt that his heart was itchy and painful, as if there was a tiny sprout breaking through the soil inside, growing rapidly with his disorderly heartbeat.

He couldn't help but look up at Huo Qu.

Huo Qu was wearing a well-cut dark blue windbreaker tonight. He had a slender and tall figure, and his handsome features looked deep and charming in the dim light of the screening room, exuding a heroic spirit.

Seeing Yu Qinghuan looking at him, he pursed his lips, his eyelashes trembled shyly, revealing the round dimple on his left cheek.

The young bud in Yu Qinghuan's heart instantly seemed to have absorbed enough nutrients and grew into a towering tree, filling his chest so full that there was no room for anyone else except Huo Qu.

How could this person be so adorable? No matter what she said, did, or even her every move, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Yu Qinghuan's eyes carefully depicted Huo Qu's eyebrows and eyes, as if she wanted to engrave him deeply in her heart.

"Qinghuan?" Huo Qu's cheeks turned red, his ears became hot, and even his palms were slightly sweaty when he was looked at by him. He suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to let go of Yu Qinghuan's hand and wipe the sweat from his palms, but he couldn't bear to do so.

While he was hesitating, Yu Qinghuan had already gently pulled his hand back.

"I'll ask Yu Xin to take you back later." He looked away, not meeting Huo Qu's gaze, and said softly, "It's so late, you should go back to bed early."

Hearing this, Huo Qu immediately became anxious, "But I want you to go with me."

"Stop messing around," Yu Qinghuan smiled at him, pointed at Zhao Rui on the stage and said, "Did you see Director Zhao? We still have work to do later."

Accidentally meeting Huo Qu's beautiful dark eyes, Yu Qinghuan's heart trembled slightly, and she suppressed the guilt that kept rising up, "I'll come to you when I have time, okay?"

This person knows nothing, just like a blank sheet of paper. The only friend he has made in his life is himself. He treats himself with all his heart and cherishes this friendship at the top of his heart. But because of this cherishment, I started to have thoughts that I shouldn’t have.

Yu Qinghuan thought that he had to give himself some time to sort out his confused mind.

"Really?" Huo Qu's eyes were glued to him, confirming again and again, "Qing Huan, will you really come to find me soon?"

"Of course." Yu Qinghuan assured him, "I will go after I finish promoting the movie."

Huo Qu then reluctantly followed Yu Xin away. Before walking out the door, he looked back several times, but Yu Qinghuan kept her head down and didn't notice him at all. He had no choice but to purse his lips and stepped out the door at Yu Xin's urging.

"You're not going with them?" Zhao Rui, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Yu Qinghuan in confusion, "We're going to go to several cities for promotion the day after tomorrow, why don't you get ready in advance?"

I don’t know if the successful post-production of “Orange and Yellow” changed Zhao Rui. Compared to his gloomy appearance three months ago, he has become much more cheerful.

At the very least, I won’t stare at people with such cold eyes anymore, and I won’t be treated as a bad person by parents with children when I walk on the street.

"I'll leave later." Yu Qinghuan closed his eyes, looking a little tired. He tilted his head back, leaning on the back of the chair, and his voice was very hoarse.

"Don't get sick, otherwise who will follow me to promote the movie?" Zhao Rui was startled by his listless appearance. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the theater. He reached out to pick up his things and said, "Let's go. I have to go back home, so I'll give you a ride."

"Okay." Yu Qinghuan nodded and walked out first.

Looking at his back, Zhao Rui frowned. For some reason, he always felt that Yu Qinghuan was in a bad mood today. Was it an illusion?

Because of its popularity in the early stages, although the number of screenings of "Orange and Yellow" in theaters is not as high as other movies, it is much better than Zhao Rui expected. On the day of its release, many netizens who had been following the film bought tickets and went to the cinema to watch it.

Compared to Yu Qinghuan's calmness, Yu Xin was like an ant on hot pot. He would search for keywords on Weibo every few seconds, wanting to read reviews of "Orange and Yellow". Unfortunately, after half a day, he didn't find a single review.

Yu Xin's heart gradually grew cold.

He also attended the premiere of "Orange Is Yellow" and even shed a few tears while watching the movie, which was unprecedented for him. He thought that "Orange and Yellow" would at least be a small hit, but unexpectedly, it didn't make any splash at all.

After secretly taking a look at his artist's calm profile, Yu Xin silently hid his phone.

I secretly cheered myself up in my heart. This was only Yu Qinghuan's first movie, and it was such a heavy and unpleasant subject matter. If it flopped, it was no big deal. I could just make up for it with the next movie.

He didn't dare to search for film reviews anymore. After Yu Qinghuan realized his feelings for Huo Qu, she was in no mood to search at all. So neither of them knew that "Orange Yellow" had become a hot search a few hours later.

"I bought a ticket to support the production team because I felt sorry for them, but I was immediately attracted to the film after watching it. When I walked out of the theater, I felt that I should write something about this movie, but I couldn't. I always felt that it was too good and no words could match it. I am crying like an idiot in front of the computer now. Really, go to the theater and watch it. You will never regret it."

"Orange is so heartwarming, totally different from what I expected, but I still can't stop crying. Qing Huan's acting is really explosive. This is the first time I feel acting skills in an actor. I recommend everyone to go to the cinema to watch it."

"I'd like to make it clear in advance that I'm not a troll. Of course, the crew probably doesn't have the money to hire trolls. But this movie is so good!! With a crew that lacks funds, a new director, and new actors, I thought I would see a scene of chaos on the big screen, but I didn't expect to see a surprise! I will definitely watch this movie twice!"

………………

It received rave reviews and had a great reputation.

People are curious. How could a movie with such a heavy subject matter that everyone tries to avoid it receive so many positive reviews? And most of them said it was warm! This is simply incredible!

There were some netizens who were originally on the sidelines, but after seeing these film reviews, they suddenly became itchy. They changed their original plans and went to the cinema to watch movies.

This trend of following the crowd reached its peak after reading the film review by the famous film critic Zhou Mingjiang.

Zhou Mingjiang v: After writing film reviews for so many years, this is the first time I feel unable to start writing. "Orange" really surprised me. The last time a movie moved me so much was ten years ago. I won’t say too much to avoid you accusing me of spoiling the plot. Besides, I think that such a good movie should really be watched slowly in a cinema.

I really have to admire Zhao Rui for being able to film such a heavy subject with so much love. Yu Qinghuan's acting skills are also very unexpected. It is really not easy for a newcomer to interpret the character's various emotions so fully. I will go to the cinema to watch it again tomorrow, I believe I will have a better understanding of it. Finally, let me digress. I hope my wife can give me a daughter as cute as Wang Ruirui. ”

Zhou Mingjiang's film reviews have always been known for their sharpness. If you look at his Weibo, the most recent one was a review of a big IP that was said to have invested 200 million yuan. It was just a few words: What a bunch of crap, get out!

Is it true that a movie that he recommended so strongly and even made a joke about is really that good?

With the mentality of giving it a try, another wave of people went to the cinema after hearing the news.

This is how Cheng Ya was dragged there by her best friend. Even after she sat down, she was still a little dissatisfied.

After chewing a big mouthful of popcorn, she glared at her bestie: "Doing experiments every day is tiring enough, and you have to watch such a tiring movie. Can you please be alright!"

The workload of the Physics Department is heavy, and Cheng Ya often has to work on her homework until two or three in the morning every day before she can barely finish it. Not only that, she had to get up early every day, for fear that she would be left behind by her classmates if she was not careful.

Whenever she felt dizzy and confused while doing her homework, she would envy Huo Qu's brain.

"Just think of it as contributing movie tickets to the crew. We'll leave halfway through the movie." My bestie grabbed a handful of popcorn from her popcorn bucket, stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Didn't you read Weibo? This crew is so poor. The director and actors are all miserable. It's just a few dozen dollars anyway."

"Where is the time to check Weibo?" Cheng Ya sighed. She can't even finish her homework every day, okay? !

Just as the two of them were chatting in low voices, the movie started.

Zhao Qingan’s tragic experience made the two girls feel heartbroken, and they were instantly drawn into the atmosphere created by the movie.

Later, when they saw that Zhao Qingping was obviously in great pain and despair, but had to pretend to be nothing and comfort his sister and cooperate with the police investigation; when they saw Zhao's neighbors caring about Zhao Qing'an; and when they saw a group of little angels in the school who were obviously ignorant but treated Zhao Qing'an as a treasure and took care of him, the two girls' eyes suddenly became red.

Until the ending song sounded, they were still immersed in their own emotions.

"Xiaoya," her best friend pushed her, her voice still choking with sobs, "Let's go, the movie is over."

Cheng Ya cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and she didn't even notice that the popcorn had spilled all over her legs. Hearing this, she sobbed and said, "I'm not leaving. I want to watch one more show!"

"Forget it," her best friend advised her, "Come next time. We still have evening self-study tonight."

"It's so annoying." Cheng Ya wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out with her bestie, saying, "I'm going to check who the male lead is. He acted so well! I also want a brother as warm as this."

My best friend said, "I just glanced at the big screen and it seems her name is Yu Qinghuan."

Cheng Ya tilted her head in confusion and muttered, "I feel like this name sounds familiar." As she spoke, she lowered her head and searched on Weibo. When she saw the name of Hua Dashuigouzi's husband and wife, she fell strangely silent.

The best friend felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Xiaoya?"

Cheng Ya sighed deeply, "Do you know what the most tragic thing in the world is?"

Girlfriend: “???”

Cheng Ya: "I fell in love with my love rival."

Best friend: “…”

Is this movie poisonous? Her best friend’s brain went haywire after watching it!

When the first day box office results of "Orange and Yellow" came out, Yu Xin didn't even dare to look at his phone. Yu Qinghuan was actually a little nervous, after all, it was the first movie to be released in his life. But when he saw Yu Xin's timid look, he felt a lot more relaxed.

For "Orange and Yellow", he has done the best he can, and no matter what the result is, he has a clear conscience.

Taking a deep breath, he opened his phone, and was stunned when he saw the number on it.

"How much?" Yu Xin's breath was a little trembling. He moved closer reluctantly, not daring to look directly, but asked Yu Qinghuan with his face tilted.

"Look for yourself." There was no expression on Yu Qinghuan's face, and Yu Xin couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He pondered for several seconds before gritting his teeth and looking over.

"Fuck!" After a few seconds of silence, he cursed in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and even said in shock: "Did Zhao Rui fake the box office?"

How could a movie like "Orange" reach 60 million on its first day box office? Are you kidding? !

It wasn't just them. Zhao Rui was also going crazy. He never dreamed that "Orange Yellow" would achieve such results. When he saw it, he was so excited that he almost dropped his phone.

Unlike the crew, the cinema chains are the most savvy. They originally looked down on "Orange and Yellow", but now that the box office statistics are out, they immediately increased the number of screenings.

At this point, "Orange and Yellow" became a complete hit.
