Roadshows are the actors' home court, so it doesn't matter whether the director attends or not. Because before the movie is released, those who pay to buy tickets to attend the roadshow are basically fans of the actors.
So the roadshow of "Life and Death Line" in South City went quite smoothly.
Although there was no female lead, everyone seemed to be happy with the result. Strangely enough, it not only did not cause any dissatisfaction, but instead won a lot of applause.
Netizens thought the crew had finally listened to their opinions and suspended Wang Chengcheng's activities, and left messages on the official blog:
"Emma, this time I can finally watch the roadshow video from beginning to end without skipping. Applause!"
"I feel much better without Wang Chengcheng! With her around, even the air feels awkward."
"The director did a great job! Just for this reason, I will buy a ticket to support the movie!"

Although Yu Qinghuan didn't look sick after putting on makeup, she looked very bad. He had a viral cold and not only did he have a high fever, but he also had aches all over his body. He only stood on the stage for a short while before he began to sweat profusely.
Fortunately, he had been used to hardship since childhood, so although he felt physically uncomfortable, he was able to hold on. Not only did he follow the host's jokes, he even interacted with fans for a while. Even Zhao Qingyuan, who was on the same stage with him, did not notice that there was anything wrong with him.
After the roadshow ended, as soon as Yu Qinghuan returned to the backstage, he fell into a chair as if he had lost strength.
"Qinghuan, are you okay? Weren't you fine just now?" Zhao Qingyuan was stunned when he saw this, and hurried over to touch his forehead. Unexpectedly, when he touched it, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "Fuck, this is hot! We have to go to the hospital immediately."
"Yes." Yu Qinghuan knew that if his condition worsened, it might delay the next road show, so he nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go now."
Zhao Qingyuan sighed worriedly: "I really admire you."
Because he was spoiled by his family since he was young, Zhao Qingyuan is the kind of person who would not even help if something bad happened. Seeing Yu Qinghuan in pain, he was anxious but didn't know what he could do to help him.
In the end, he even handed Yu Qinghuan a bottle of eye drops, "Put some in there to get rid of the red bloodshot in your eyes."
He meant well and Yu Qinghuan was too embarrassed to refuse. She could only take the eye drops with a helpless smile and put a drop into her eyes.
"Hey Qinghuan!" Yu Qinghuan had just wiped the sweat off her face when Yu Xin came over happily with a cup of warm water in his hand. There was a wave at the end of his voice, and it was obvious that he had encountered good things.
"What's wrong bro?"
Yu Xin pulled a chair and sat down next to him, and said excitedly: "The head of Kenn's Asia region just contacted me! He wants to invite you to endorse Kenn's new passion series supercars!"
Kenn is a first-class sports car brand. Although it is not ranked among the top ten in the world, it is also the first choice for many wealthy people when buying cars.
Since Ada's watch, Yu Qinghuan has not had any other endorsements. It’s not that no brands have approached us, or that the price they offered is too low, it’s just that none of them are suitable.
The Kenn endorsement is like a timely rain. If Yu Qinghuan can really get it, it will be of great benefit to her future commercial endorsements.
Yu Xin was so excited that he didn't notice Yu Qinghuan's abnormality for a moment.
"The person in charge of Kenn happens to be in South City today, and he just told me that he wanted to talk to you first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qingyuan frowned and said, "No, Qinghuan's fever hasn't subsided yet. We have to go to the hospital first."
Yu Xin was stunned. He stretched out his hand and put it on Yu Qinghuan's forehead to feel it. He immediately felt as if he was facing a great enemy. "We really need to go to the hospital immediately. I thought he was fine. Let's go, let's go now."
"Brother, don't worry." Yu Qinghuan held him back and said, "I'll go see the person in charge of Kenn first."
Yu Qinghuan's current status is not enough to make Kenn's person in charge wait. Even if he informed them in advance and said that he needed to go to the hospital first, Kenn would not be satisfied.
They don't think he is really sick, they just think he is making a fuss. If that is true, then this endorsement will probably be ruined.
"But how can your body hold on?" Yu Xin asked worriedly.
Zhao Qingyuan also said: "Qinghuan, don't ruin your health for work, it's not worth it, you're not particularly short of money."
"I know." Yu Qinghuan drank a glass of water in one gulp and stood up from the chair. "But I will still try my best to get it, and it won't take long to meet. Didn't I take antipyretics before the roadshow? I should be able to hold on for a while. I won't joke with my body."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yu Xin and Zhao Qingyuan had no choice but to do as he said.
But on the way to the meeting, Yu Xin was still worried, so he stopped the car halfway and bought a fever-reducing patch to put on his forehead.
Kenn's Asia director is Lu Feng, who is about 40 years old. Although he looks average, he has a very strong aura. If you are even a little bit unconfident, you will be completely suppressed by his aura.
Yu Qinghuan had seen all kinds of scenes in his previous life, and his mind had long been trained to be extremely strong. Apart from Huo Qu, no one else could make him upset. So when he was talking to Lu Feng, his expression was natural and his attitude was polite but not restrained, which made Lu Feng nod secretly. His original willingness, which was only 60 points, now became 80 or 90 points.
Kenn attaches great importance to the maintenance of brand image, so he is always very cautious in choosing spokespersons. Those with unsuitable appearance will not be accepted, those with bad rumors will not be accepted, and the criteria are even so strict that they even look at the actor's personal education and background.
Although Yu Qinghuan has just become famous, she has a lot of halo around her.
Graduated from Huazhong University, very lucky, his first movie became a big hit, and he also participated in movies directed by famous directors and screenwriters...
Each of these conditions does not seem simple, let alone when combined together.
Lu Feng was originally only satisfied with these conditions, but when he actually met Yu Qinghuan in person, he realized that Yu Qinghuan had more than just these cold halos.
This young man does not have the willfulness and childishness of his peers. Instead, he has a strange charm. Not only is she not unable to carry the brand due to her young age, but on the contrary, she is very consistent with the feeling that the Passion series wants.
This made Lu Feng very happy. He had even decided in his heart that he would actively promote this matter after returning. However, Yu Qinghuan suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, I know Kenn attaches great importance to spokespersons, so there is one thing I need to tell you in advance."
"you say."
Yu Qinghuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then continued: "I am gay, and I will definitely come out."
Lu Feng was silent.
If all the above factors could make him choose Yu Qinghuan as the spokesperson, then this point was enough to make him overturn all his decisions.
He himself has no opinion on homosexuality, but coming out is a huge blow to both the artist and the brand he endorses.
Although he was satisfied with Yu Qinghuan, this satisfaction was not enough for him to risk Kenn's brand image to accompany him in the adventure.
"I understand." Lu Feng still appreciated his honesty, "I'll think about it carefully."
After the meeting, Yu Xin took Yu Qinghuan straight to the hospital. On the way, he tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't hold back any more. He turned around and asked at the red light, "Qing Huan, are you a little too honest? There's no need to tell me about this kind of thing in advance, right?"
The moment Yu Qinghuan revealed his sexual orientation, Yu Xin knew that this endorsement was definitely going to fail.
He really didn't understand why Yu Qinghuan did that. There were many artists who came out passively, but the only one who took the initiative to confess his sexual orientation to the brand was this silly kid from his family!
If he follows his idea, he should just accept the endorsement first and think about what will happen in the future. Of course, he will have to wait and see.
"Brother," Yu Qinghuan coughed, and waited until the itchiness in his throat disappeared before saying, "I have to be responsible for my own endorsement. I can hide it once, but I can't hide it a second time. If the matter is exposed and Kenn is implicated by me, then will there be any brand that dares to ask me to be the endorsement in the future?"
"That's true, but..."
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not stupid." Yu Qinghuan winked at him mischievously. "Don't you know that Kenn's CEO is gay? Not only has he participated in gay parades, he also often calls on gays online to bravely speak out about their sexual orientation."
Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, "I... really don't know."
Yu Qinghuan sighed in his heart. His brother Xin was good in every way. He was considerate and attentive, and always cared about the artists. The only thing was... the resources and information he had were too few.
"I know what I'm doing. It all depends on luck."
When he said that, Yu Xin smiled and stepped on the accelerator, saying, "If it really depends on luck, this endorsement will definitely be yours."
Yu Qinghuan also laughed.
The two arrived at the hospital quickly. Fearing of being recognized, Yu Qinghuan covered her face tightly with a mask. It looked a little strange from outside, but it was very normal in the hospital, so not many people paid special attention to him.
The doctor took his temperature and tested his blood, and finally determined that it was a viral cold.
"I'll prescribe you two boxes of oseltamivir," the doctor said without looking up as he typed away on his keyboard. "Just follow the instructions. Fortunately, you must get enough rest and don't stay up late."
"Don't you need an IV? His condition is so serious." Yu Xin interjected worriedly.
"No, no," the doctor waved his hand and handed him the printed form: "Don't think that hanging the drip is a good thing. If the disease can be cured by taking medicine, then take medicine. Go and pay the money."
Since the doctor said so, he couldn't insist any longer. He had to take the medicine and carefully take Yu Qinghuan back to the hotel.
"Brother, I'm fine." Yu Qinghuan took the medicine and saw Yu Xin still circling around him worriedly, so he comforted him, "It's just a cold..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone rang. He looked down and saw it was Huo Qu.
Afraid that Huo Qu would notice something wrong with his voice, Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to answer the phone. It was only when Yu Xin handed him the phone that he hesitated for a moment, pressed the answer button, and tried his best to control his voice, calling out, "Huo Qu."
Unexpectedly, Huo Qu's first words were; "Qinghuan, you are sick."
The media didn't notice that he was sick, his fans didn't notice that he was sick, and even Yu Xin was fooled by his performance. Only Huo Qu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him, even though they were thousands of miles apart.
Yu Qinghuan's chest felt slightly warm, but he still lied, "No, don't talk nonsense, I'm fine."
"I can see it," Huo Qu insisted, "You are different from usual, you are sick." He paused, and asked with concern and anxiety: "Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?"
If she continued to deny it, Huo Qu would only get more worried. Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to admit, "It's just a cold. I had a little fever. I've been to the hospital. I'm fine now. Don't worry."
After saying this, he anxiously waited for Huo Qu's reaction while thinking of words to comfort him.
In the past, if Huo Qu heard that he was sick, he would be very upset and even make a fuss about coming to see him. But Yu Qinghuan didn't expect that this time, Huo Qu didn't do so.
Although he could still tell he was worried, he remained calm. After asking about his condition in detail, he told him to take good care of himself and hung up the phone. This made Yu Qinghuan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
He didn't know that as soon as he put down the phone, Huo Qu anxiously called the driver, "Please take me to the hospital."
The driver was shocked and thought he was sick. After finding out what had happened, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Yu Qinghuan is sick, what’s the point of my young master going to the hospital?
But no one could disagree with Huo Qu's insistence.
In the end, the driver not only took him to the hospital, but also helped him make an appointment.
In the clinic, the elderly doctor pushed his reading glasses on his nose, glanced at Huo Qu who was sitting opposite him, took out a small flashlight, and said to him: "Do you have a cold? Open your mouth so I can see if your throat is inflamed."
Huo Qu shook his head. "It's not me." He paused and said shyly and worriedly, "My boyfriend is sick."
doctor:"……"
etc? Boy friend? Isn’t this a bit too much information? ! wrong! I can't let him lead me astray!
Since his boyfriend was sick, why didn't his boyfriend come himself but asked him to come? ! How come these young people always come up with new ways to do things every day!
The doctor coughed and tried to remain professional and rational. "Where are the others?"
"He's in another city and can't come." Huo Qu clenched his fists worriedly, looked at the doctor earnestly, and added, "But I know all his symptoms! Just ask me! I'll help him with the treatment."
doctor:"……"
He has been working in the hospital for so many years! This is the first time I have seen such a way of treating a disease! This young man is here to cause trouble.
He frowned and wanted to scold Huo Qu, but when he met those serious eyes, he didn't know why he couldn't bear it.
Forget it, forget it. There’s so much flu recently, and this silly boy finally got a number, so I’ll just say a few more words to him.
"Let him drink more hot water, eat more light food, and avoid spicy food." Seeing that Huo Quyou was listening carefully, the doctor continued: "If it is indeed the recent popular cold, then don't delay, let him go to the local hospital as soon as possible..."
The doctor said a lot of things in a very eloquent way, but Huo Qu was still not satisfied and asked again: "What medicine should I take to get better?"
"Why are you prescribing medicine when the patient is not here?" The doctor glared at him, and finally ran out of patience. "Okay, go back quickly, I have many patients behind me."
Huo Qu was kicked out of the clinic in disgrace. Just as the driver was about to take him home, Huo Qu had already taken out his cell phone and called Yu Qinghuan.
He repeated word for word what the doctor had just said, and at the end, he added, "Qinghuan, you must do as I say."
Yu Qinghuan didn't expect that he would do such a thing for her, and her heart was melted by his kindness. His throat choked up, and he replied hoarsely, "I know, I will do it."
People are already vulnerable when they are sick, let alone when there is someone who cares about them so attentively.
Yu Qinghuan rubbed her face against the quilt unconsciously, and said in a coquettish voice: "You just do stupid things."
Huo Qu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant. In his opinion, going to the hospital when you are sick is a natural thing to do. How can it be a stupid thing?
But since the day he met Yu Qinghuan, Huo Qu's three views became "Qinghuan is everything." He did not refute him, but held the microphone and said seriously: "For you, I can do anything."
