As if some catalyst button had been triggered, the box office of "Orange" began to rise steadily from the first day of its release, and quickly surpassed most of the movies released at the same time with an unstoppable momentum.
The explosive reputation and huge amount of discussion have formed a virtuous circle.
Gradually, more and more people chose to go to the cinema to watch "Orange Yellow", and the number of screenings in theaters was also increasing. No matter what happened in the later stages, Zhao Rui could make a fortune just by relying on the first three days.
Not only that, the famous film review website even gave "Orange Yellow" a high score of 9.3, which is a treatment that domestic films have not received for many years.
A good movie brings much more benefits than just the box office revenue.
The audience, who were so immersed in the movie that they couldn't get out of it, began to collect information about "Orange Yellow" everywhere, from actors to directors, leaving out no one.
The hardships endured while filming the movie were instantly transformed into the sweetness of reaping rich rewards.
After learning about their financial situation in detail, netizens felt distressed and not only volunteered to serve as security guards, but also took the initiative to help crack down on pirated movies. In a short period of time, the popularity of "Orange" increased greatly, and there were even queues for tickets in some cities.
Yu Qinghuan received many congratulatory calls, and Yu Xin's phone was almost blown up. They were all looking for cooperation. There was even a director who offered a high price of 10 million yuan to invite Yu Qinghuan to film a youth idol drama.
"Let's postpone it all," Yu Qinghuan said to Xin without raising his head as he packed the luggage needed for the roadshow.
"Got it." Yu Xin sighed, pulled out the phone card and switched to a private number. He couldn't help but secretly admire Yu Qinghuan's calmness.
Because of the popularity of "Orange Yellow", Yu Qinghuan's value also rose.
A good director and script are indeed important, but his good acting skills also play an important role.
As the absolute protagonist of this movie, Yu Qinghuan can be said to have single-handedly carried the box office of "Orange Yellow".
It is unprecedented in the entertainment industry that a first released film can become so popular.
Not to mention anything else, just this luck is enough to make many people eager to try.
Businessmen all believe in these things, so there are many people who are willing to spend money to invite Yu Qinghuan.
For a young man who lost his parents at the age of twelve and has been worried about money since childhood, the prices offered by these people were too tempting. A TV drama or a commercial can keep him well-fed and well-fed for many years.
To be fair, Yu Xin was tempted.
But Yu Qinghuan remained calm, without even raising his eyebrows, as if he didn't care about the money at all. He just did what he was supposed to do, not affected at all.
"Qinghuan, you will probably be very busy in the next few days, so I'll tell you in advance," Yu Xin sat down next to him. When Yu Qinghuan looked over, he took out his mobile phone album and flipped through it, saying, "The design renderings of your house are out. Take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with."
Yu Qinghuan lowered his head along with his hand. The rendering was a typical neo-Chinese style, with warm colors and exquisite design. Every space was used reasonably, and it looked warm and beautiful at first glance.
"That's good." Yu Qinghuan put a shirt into the suitcase and said, "Just pack it like this."
"Okay," he nodded. Yu Xin felt relieved immediately and said, "Then I'll go talk to the designer." He stood up and prepared to leave. But just as he stood up, his cell phone rang.
He didn't want to answer the call, but when he saw the name on the screen, he had no choice but to hand the phone to Yu Qinghuan again, "Zhao Qingyuan, this is for you."
"Qing Yuan?" Yu Qinghuan tilted his head, clamped the phone between his shoulders, and called out.
"Congratulations, Qinghuan!" Zhao Qingyuan's voice sounded very excited. "I saw the box office of Orange Yellow, and I think it will be popular for a while. This is a good start for you."
Infected by his emotions, Yu Qinghuan also laughed, "It's a pity that you are not here, otherwise I would let you share in my joy."
"It's okay," Zhao Qingyuan said, "I called just to tell you about this. Aren't you going to Jiangcheng for a roadshow tomorrow? I'll be there too. I'll go and help you out then."
There was a hint of smugness in his tone, but more of it was his wholehearted concern for his friend.
"Okay," Yu Qinghuan accepted his kindness naturally, "Then I'll call you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Zhao Qingyuan responded, and then said: "By the way, you are going to renovate your house recently, right? Leave it to me. My brother-in-law is in this business! I promise to do a good job for you."
Yu Qinghuan's heart suddenly felt warm. Zhao Qingyuan was a very carefree person who didn't care about anything, but now he could remember her affairs so clearly, which showed how much he cared about her.
"Then I don't care. I'll leave it all to you."
Zhao Qingyuan patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry." After a pause, he suddenly said happily, "By the way, I also helped you pick out a few types of flooring. I'll send them to you on WeChat now. You can see if they look good."
"Huh?" Yu Qinghuan opened WeChat in confusion. When he saw the row of dark old-fashioned floors, he was suddenly speechless.
Over there, Zhao Qingyuan was still urging, "Qinghuan, does it look good?! What do you think of using these floors for your home renovation?"
Yu Qinghuan: "...Qing Yuan."
Zhao Qingyuan: “?”
Yu Qinghuan: "I understand the truth, but why do you use these ugly things to harm my eyes."
Zhao Qingyuan: "..."
Jiangcheng is in the south. It was already very warm in mid-to-late April. Yu Qinghuan was simply wearing a white shirt and jeans. He was tall and handsome like a slowly growing poplar. No matter where he went, he was the focus of the crowd.
He had no idea about his current popularity. After getting off the plane with the crew, he was caught off guard and saw a large group of fans holding up signs with his name on them. He was stunned.
Because they had to travel to five cities in two days, the "Orange and Yellow" crew's schedule was against the clock, and even the tickets for the first stop of the roadshow were booked in the early morning. It was just before eight in the morning when they arrived at the airport.
But at this time, the airport was full of fans who came to pick them up. It was still a little chilly in the early spring morning, and these lovely girls almost all wore short skirts in order to let their idols see their most beautiful side.
I don’t know how long I’ve been standing there, and even my exquisite makeup can’t hide my blue face.
But when they saw Yu Qinghuan, they seemed to forget all the cold and the pain of waiting, and screamed excitedly, scrambling to rush to his side, wanting to have a close contact with their idol.
Yu Qinghuan had limited time, so it was impossible for him to stop and sign for them. In the short moment when he slowed down his pace, Zhao Rui was already urging him with his eyes.
The security guards were like a solid wall that could never be crossed, separating Yu Qinghuan and her fans firmly on either side.
Seeing their idols drifting further and further away, the girls couldn't help but reveal disappointment on their faces, and even the hands that were holding up their names fell down weakly.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan suddenly stopped. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every fan present. "Thank you for your hard work. Today's schedule is too tight. I'm sorry I can't sign autographs for you. I'll ask someone to buy you a cup of milk tea. After you drink it, go home quickly."
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet until Yu Qinghuan walked out of the airport. The fans stared at his departing back for a long time, unable to recover.
The staff moved quickly, handing out cups of still-hot hot cocoa to fans, which not only warmed their cold hands but also their sincere hearts.
Quiet sobs echoed in the hall.
"Wow, Qinghuan is so gentle, I want to be his fan forever!"
“Although I didn’t get an autograph or take a photo with him, this trip was really worth it.”
"Wow, where does he have the money? He's spending so much money. I feel really bad and touched."
………………
In the car, Yu Xin complained to Yu Qinghuan, "You are so loose-handed. Do you know that fans are yours today and someone else's tomorrow?"
Yu Qinghuan smiled and said gently, "But as long as they are at my house, I will take good care of them."
For the roadshow that day, Yu Qinghuan called Zhao Qingyuan as agreed last night.
The fans who came to support didn’t expect such a surprise and almost went crazy with joy. He kept posting on Weibo to express his excitement, which also added a lot of heat to the next few roadshows.
After the roadshow in Jiangcheng ended, Yu Qinghuan didn't even have time to rest before rushing to the next city. After the two games, even though he was in good physical condition, he felt a little overwhelmed.
After saying hello to Zhao Rui, he returned to his room without even eating.
But it's strange, although my body is obviously very tired, after washing up and lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all, as if all the sleepiness in my heart was washed away by the water along with the shower gel.
Yu Qinghuan picked up the phone, his finger unconsciously fixed on Huo Qu's name. After a few seconds, he put it down dejectedly.
They had only been apart for a day and he already missed him.
Thinking of that person's soft dimples and shy smile, Yu Qinghuan felt warm in his heart. The impulse that he had just suppressed suddenly came back like a tsunami, shattering his rationality.
Just hit him this time, don't say anything, just listen to his voice.
No, no, if it happens once, it will happen again, he has to control himself.
Yu Qinghuan shook her head in annoyance. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Huo Qu's familiar voice came from the other end, "Qinghuan!"
Yu Qinghuan was not prepared for him to answer so quickly. Her thoughts were immediately in a mess. After thinking for a long time, she managed to find a topic, "What are you doing?"
"No, no..." Such a common greeting made Huo Qu's voice drop instantly. He held his breath in panic and stammered in reply.
Yu Qinghuan immediately noticed that something was wrong with him, and unconsciously sat up from the bed, and asked nervously: "Huo Qu, did something happen to you?"
There was a sudden silence over there.
Just when Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but urge him, Huo Qu finally spoke.
The heartless person who was always happy to see him, now had a voice full of frustration and disappointment. Just thinking about it, Yu Qinghuan felt his heart was about to be torn.
He said, "I'm sorry, Qinghuan, I'm just like what they said, a useless person." He choked up slightly, "I thought I was very smart, but, but I'm not. My experiment failed again."
He paused for a moment, then asked cautiously and panickedly, "Qing Huan, do you think I'm useless?"
I had a good idea in my mind, but when I actually put it into practice, I failed again and again. Huo Qu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of pain.
Qinghuan is so good that she seems to be glowing when she stands on the stage. But his research projects always fail. If he continues like this, how can he be worthy of being Qinghuan's friend.
An unprecedented fear filled his chest like a slippery marble, rolling and colliding, and could not be shaken off.
"Of course not." Yu Qinghuan said without thinking: "You are the best person in the world and you are doing a great job, how can you be useless!"
Yu Qinghuan's heart ached so much that he almost trembled. His Huo Qu was so good, simple and sincere. He was just a little different from ordinary people. How could someone be so vicious and hurt him with such words?
Yu Qinghuan felt extremely upset when she thought about how Huo Qu had been hurt countless times in places she didn't know about.
"Huo Qu, don't care about other people's opinions, and don't deny yourself because of them, understand?"
"I don't." Huo Qu's eyelashes trembled, "I don't care about them."
"Then why are you so sad?"
"I'm just afraid that you'll be disappointed in me..."
"I won't." Yu Qinghuan's heart suddenly became sour and he said, "Huo Qu, you will always be the best in my heart."
After "Orange Yellow" became popular, many people were paying attention to their roadshow. So when the girls who went to pick them up at the airport posted the news that Yu Qinghuan bought them hot cocoa online, it immediately caused quite a stir.
I’ve seen people pamper their fans, but I’ve never seen anyone pamper them like this!
Even though he has just debuted and is still receiving the lowest pay, he still cares so much about his fans. He is truly unique among celebrities.
"I regretted not going to the airport to pick up Qinghuan. I didn't get to see her. But I was also glad that I didn't go because I saved Qinghuan the money for a cup of hot cocoa. Our little Koi is so warm."
"Qinghuan is only 20 years old, and he's so considerate. I really envy his future significant other."
"Qing Huan is so kind. I am so moved that I don't know what to say. I can only continue to support her in the future."
"We little Koi have no family, it doesn't matter, from now on, we are your family!"
………………
Not only that, the news that Zhao Qingyuan appeared in the "Orange Yellow" roadshow also spread on Weibo. Many of Zhao Qingyuan's fans immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet, wishing they could strangle themselves to death yesterday.
You know, Zhao Qingyuan hasn’t posted on Weibo for almost a month! People who used to post eight tweets a day now don’t post on Weibo for a month! It really makes the fans who are waiting for their feedback on Weibo feel anxious and uncomfortable!
Who would have thought that after waiting so long for an opportunity for Zhao Qingyuan to appear, they actually missed it!
With the help of Zhao Qingyuan's fans, the news that Zhao Qingyuan supported Yu Qinghuan's roadshow soon spread widely on Weibo.
Qin Zheng accidentally saw this news when he was browsing Weibo. He pondered for a few minutes, then reached out to Chen Ming and said, "Please postpone my schedule this afternoon."
Chen Ming's face instantly fell when he heard this. "No way, Brother Zheng, you should know your limits when being willful. The press conference this afternoon is very important."
"I have more important things to deal with," Qin Zheng stood up and loosened his tie irritably, "Also, book me a ticket to Huang City."
Qin Zheng has a strong personality and always keeps his word. Even though they have been working together for so many years, Chen Ming is still trembling with fear in front of him. Hearing him say that it was something more important and seeing his serious expression, I had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of my tongue and quietly went to book a ticket for him.
So, Zhao Rui, who was far away in Huang City, was having a meal while thinking about the content of the roadshow in his mind, when Yu Qinghuan came over with the phone in his hand, "Brother Rui, can the roadshow be postponed for a while?"
"No!" Zhao Rui came back to his senses and firmly rejected Yu Qinghuan.
As a person, you must keep your word. You must start at the time you say you will start. This cannot be changed!
Putting down his chopsticks, he asked Yu Qinghuan, "What's wrong?"
After being together for such a long time, Zhao Rui knew that Yu Qinghuan would not deliberately act like a big shot or anything like that, so he asked one more question.
"No." Yu Qinghuan put down the phone with a complicated expression on his face, "Brother Zheng said he will be here soon."
Zhao Rui was a little slow to react for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Brother Zheng? Which Brother Zheng?"
Yu Qinghuan: "Qin Zheng."
Zhao Rui: “!!!”
A full minute passed before he came to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Yu Qinghuan with a determined look: "Tell me, how long do you want to postpone it?"
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
After telling Zhao Rui the news, Yu Qinghuan sat down to eat. He didn't notice that under the table, Zhao Rui was secretly sending a WeChat message to Yu Xin: "Send me a new photo of Qinghuan! Quick! I want to share the Koi on Weibo!"
Qin Zheng’s arrival added a strong touch to the last roadshow of “Orange Yellow”. As soon as this big star, who rarely attends events casually, showed up, the scene and the internet were both in an uproar.
"Oh my god! I said you guys are superstitious before, but now I really believe Yu Qinghuan is a lucky fish! It started with Zhao Qingyuan and ended with Qin Zheng! OK, OK, I am convinced by this operation!"
"I don't think Yu Qinghuan is a particularly enthusiastic person, so why is she so popular? It's incredible."
"Go back upstairs. Although Qing Huan looks indifferent, she is actually a very warm person. Ah... I want to marry her."
"Congratulations, my little koi, for adding another A-list superstar to your stamp collection."
"Hahahaha what the hell is going on upstairs! Go away!"
………………
Not only netizens, but the media also used extremely exaggerated words to report the friendship between Yu Qinghuan, Zhao Qingyuan and Qin Zheng. If you don’t know, you would think they are friends for life and death.
However, the biggest beneficiary of this was "Orange and Yellow". By the day when Yu Qinghuan finally set off for home, the box office of "Orange and Yellow" had reached 350 million.
Yu Xin kept whispering in his ear: "How much money does Zhao Rui have to make? You're really losing out by taking this salary." He looked very painful.
“Brother, you’re almost there.” Yu Qinghuan was dizzy from his spinning and couldn’t help but say, “Director Zhao has had a hard time too. He’s suffered so much before. This money should be his.”
"You think it's easy?" Yu Xin looked at his sunken face with concern and raised his voice, "You were already thin enough, and you lost another two pounds during the roadshows these days. If you continue like this, even a strong man can't stand it."
Yu Xin would never stop nagging, and Yu Qinghuan was most afraid of this move, so she had to raise her hands in surrender, "Isn't that necessary for acting? I'm already regaining my weight, don't worry."
Yu Xin wanted to say something, but Zhao Rui suddenly pushed the door open, and he could only shut his mouth reluctantly.
"Qinghuan," Zhao Rui looked at Yu Qinghuan with shining eyes, his face showing unconcealed joy, "The cumulative box office has reached 350 million!"
Yu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations, Brother Rui." He handed the phone to Zhao Rui and motioned him to look at the screen. "I was just reading a post online that showed the daily screenings and box office of Orange and Yellow. It's estimated that there's a chance that it will reach 500 million."
Zhao Rui took the phone and read the post word for word. The big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell.
He did it, he actually finished the movie and brought it to the big screen.
In real life, he was an incompetent brother who could only watch his sister die in pain. But when he freezes her life in a movie, he can personally create a perfect and warm ending for her.
Moreover, with so many people watching this movie now, many parents have noticed the safety issues of their children.
His purpose of making this film has been fully achieved.
He let out a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to let go of all the shackles that had been on his heart for all these years.
"Qing Huan," Zhao Rui looked at him excitedly, and for the first time spoke his true feelings without any awkwardness, "Thank you, really. Without you, there would be no movie."
No one would be interested in the little salary he offered, not to mention that he had to find an actor with acting skills good enough to express all emotions with just a pair of eyes.
Even if he found such an actor, if Yu Qinghuan wasn't there, the explosion would have destroyed the movie, and even he himself would have been gone.
Although he said harsh words, he was always grateful to Yu Qinghuan in his heart.
Yu Qinghuan was used to Zhao Rui's dark face and sharp tongue, so when he showed a better attitude, she felt strangely a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Rui, don't say that. This is the result of everyone's hard work."
Zhao Rui shook his head and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will make up your salary in one lump sum after all the box office revenue is settled."
Yu Xin, who was standing by, was instantly delighted. He had just made a list of items to buy when he heard Zhao Rui continue, "You also know about my sister. With the remaining money, I plan to set up a fund to help children like this."
He knew he couldn't help everyone, but he tried his best. He didn't want to see his sister's tragedy happen again.
Yu Qinghuan was silent for a few seconds, and then under Yu Xin's distressed gaze, he said calmly: "Brother Rui, you don't need to make up my salary. It's what we agreed on at the beginning. If you really feel bad about it, just use my share of the money to build the fund."
Zhao Rui wanted to decline, but when he met Yu Qinghuan's serious eyes, he could only nod, "Okay."
After he left, Yu Xin immediately ran to Yu Qinghuan and said angrily, "Qinghuan, are you stupid?! Do you know how much money that is?"
How much stuff can you buy? He also plans to buy a nice car!
"Brother, the money is not saved," Yu Qinghuan comforted him. In the face of Yu Xin's accusing eyes, he said, "You forgot that I haven't signed "How to Love You" yet. The pay for this movie will definitely not be low. I can take on an advertisement in the meantime and the money will be back."
What he said made sense. Yu Xin's anger suddenly dissipated like a balloon that had been punctured.
He sighed and was about to say something when the phone rang.
They said that the national TV station wanted to invite Yu Qinghuan as a guest on a variety show and wanted to have a talk with him on Starlight.
When Yu Xin heard this, his eyes lit up and he repeatedly said that he would bring Yu Qinghuan over right away. After hanging up the phone, without even having time to pack anything, I just dragged him away.
At the same time, as usual, Huo Qu clumsily logged into his Weibo on his way to work to search for news about Yu Qinghuan.
Unexpectedly, I saw the media's extensive coverage of the relationship between Yu Qinghuan and Qin Zheng.
The violence and darkness hidden in his heart surged up in an instant. Whenever he thought of Yu Qinghuan smiling at Qin Zheng and gently comforting Qin Zheng, Huo Qu felt as if there was a ferocious beast in his chest, roaring and roaring, as if it was going to destroy the whole world.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was full of calmness before a storm.
Even though he is a useless person, Qinghuan can only be his, his alone, and no one can take it away from him!
"Go to my second brother's company." He ordered the driver in a cold voice.
The driver was stunned and was about to ask him if something happened, but when he saw Huo Qu's face in the rearview mirror, he dared not say a word. He just nodded randomly and quickly changed the route.
So, in the Xingguang parking lot, Yu Qinghuan had just gotten out of Yu Xin's car when she ran into Huo Qu who got out of the car at the same time.
"Huo Qu? Why are you here?" Yu Qinghuan asked, and just as he was about to walk over, he was stopped by Yu Xin.
"Qing Huan, the national TV station is still waiting."
"You go up first." Seeing that Huo Qu's face was not right, Yu Qinghuan turned to Yu Xin and said, "I will take him with me later."
Seeing that he looked determined and there seemed no room for maneuver, Yu Xin nodded and went upstairs anxiously.
"What happened?" Yu Qinghuan looked at Huo Qu worriedly, thinking that he was still struggling with what happened that day. After saying something to the Huo family's driver, he pulled him to a corner of the parking lot, wanting to give him some good advice.
"I..." Huo Qu pursed his lips and was about to speak when a quarrel suddenly came from the front.
Yu Qinghuan looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned. The people arguing were actually Evanson and Fang Zhongxi!
He couldn't hear what they were arguing about because he was too far away, but then Yu Qinghuan saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Evanson actually pushed Fang Zhongxi against the wall and kissed him directly!
The two people were kissing so passionately and absorbedly that they didn't even notice that there were two people standing in the corner behind them.
Yu Qinghuan was so stimulated by this restricted scene that his scalp almost exploded. He looked towards Huo Qu as if by reflex.
They saw Huo Qu staring at them with his eyes wide open, as if he was stunned.
"Let's go, Huo Qu." Yu Qinghuan tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
If the two parties meet, they will definitely be embarrassed. It is better to leave quickly before they notice.
But Huo Qu, who always listened to him, ignored him this time. His eyes were still fixed on the two people and he was unwilling to look away.
"What? Are you jealous?" Yu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and teased, "If you want to kiss yourself, go find a girlfriend."
After saying this, Huo Qu didn't react much, but he himself felt uncomfortable.
I don’t know what kind of person Huo Qu’s wife will be in the future. He is so focused and serious in his feelings, and he will probably be like this and kiss her uncontrollably regardless of the occasion.
The more Yu Qinghuan thought about it, the more stuffy his chest felt. Plus, he couldn't pull Huo Qu, so he felt suffocated.
Huo Qu suddenly called him, "Qing Huan."
His voice was low, with a different meaning.
Before Yu Qinghuan had time to think about what that feeling was like, the back of her head was suddenly held tightly, followed by a tender yet domineering kiss.
