Life goes on, and gradually returns to its usual tranquility. Each day seems so insignificant, and for most people it may just be an insignificant interlude. But for others, it may be a memory to cherish for a lifetime.
Xu Qian took three days off from his company. As soon as he returned to Weicheng, he was overwhelmed with work. In the past, he might have accepted the job for the money, but since attending Fifth Master's funeral, he suddenly felt a sense of loss and uncertainty, and his emotions came on inexplicably.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian called all his friends, especially the two Meng brothers. He had known them the longest, and the first person he saw when he opened his eyes after waking up was Meng Ziqiu. Given their status as members of the Meng family, it seemed as if such a connection was destined.
Therefore, from any perspective, these two are people that Xu Qian cares about very much.
Of course, the two brothers did not realize his concern, but they vaguely sensed something was amiss.
Xu Qian's anxiety lasted for a month before he recovered. By then, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. On a sunny afternoon, the "Shaolin Temple" crew announced the official start of filming.
The filming schedule for movies is much longer than that for TV series, but the overall cycle is much more complicated. Take "Shaolin Temple" as an example. The casting process alone took almost half a year. In addition, there were repeated revisions to the script in the early stages. It would take at least one or two years to finalize the casting.
Unlike other directors, Director Fei doesn't like superstitious practices. The opening ceremony was also very simple and low-key. He said a few words and then started filming the first scene.
Xu Qian didn't have any scenes on the first day, but the crew next door still had some—oh, that urban romance drama—and the month-long filming period was finally nearing its end.
After completing the scenes for "Shaolin Temple," Xu Qian took Yan Lang to the neighboring film set. They immediately went to the dressing room to change clothes. The clothes he wore on set were provided by RA Men's, with several sets for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as some accessories. After filming, they were given to Xu Qian, a freebie.
Soon, Xu Qian walked out wearing a dark blue suit. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the gold-rimmed glasses on his face added a touch of asceticism. Overall, the suit looked fantastic!
The guy in charge of clothing was very satisfied. It has to be said that a clothes hanger can do whatever he wants. He dared to say that even if the other person wore a burlap sack, he would still look handsome. That's the confidence of a face-obsessed person!
Today is Xu Qian's last scene; once it's finished, filming is considered complete.
The script was finalized by Wang Wei last weekend, and to put it simply, it's about everyone being well.
In the end, Jiang Fulin and Fu Mi (the second female lead) clarified things with their families, canceling their engagement and deleting all contact information. Later, Fu Mi went to study at Difen alone to pursue her unfinished dream; Jiang Fulin and his junior schoolmate also broke up, and he focused on his career, his face showing neither sadness nor joy.
The story of "South Wind Knows My Heart" centers on urban romance, but unlike previous happy endings, each character in the drama can be found in real life. Because it is too realistic, the director wanted to make changes several times, but Wang Wei still insisted on her idea in the ending - love is not everything, isn't it better to focus on your career?
Xu Qian didn't know how Wang Wei had convinced the director, but the final script that came into his hands was like this: a career drama disguised as a love story.
“cut——”
"That's it! Time to go home!"
The executive director sent over a bouquet of flowers to celebrate Xu Qian's successful completion of filming.
"Thanks."
"Teacher Xu, let's take a picture together?" the assistant director said, asking another person to take a picture of the two of them.
Xu Qian, of course, did not refuse. Holding the flowers, he bent slightly at the waist and smiled demurely in front of the camera.
"Teacher Xu, do you mind if I post this on the official Weibo account?"
"Of course I don't mind."
"Okay!"
But Xu Qian never expected that he would become a trending topic on social media that very morning because of this group photo.
#Xu Qian's wrap-up photo
#Xu Qian's facial features determine my values
#South Wind Knows My Heart - Xu Qian
How can one describe this group photo? The young man in the photo has clean features and smooth facial lines; almost no part is superfluous, and everything seems quite perfect. He can be stunning at first glance, and the more you look at him, the more harmonious he becomes; he has a perfect grasp of charisma.
It has been a long time since China has seen someone who can unify the public's aesthetic standards. Although Xu Qian is not the first, he is the first in the context of the most developed internet environment.
Simply put, Xu Qian went viral because of this photo, and he appeared on discussion threads on the Huaxia Forum.
Huaxia Forum—its name itself reveals its status. Even with the rise of Weibo, Huaxia Forum still maintains its leading position in terms of traffic. Unlike other software, Huaxia Forum is a forum primarily led by Chinese netizens and requires real-name registration. Therefore, advertising? Impossible. Promotion? Even more impossible.
In other words, anything that becomes popular on this platform is truly popular, a genuine and unadulterated success.
There's a section on the Huaxia Forum called "Leisurely Pursuits," which focuses on entertainment and is one of the forum's major traffic drivers.
One of the posters, named [梨衣], has attracted a lot of attention from netizens. She often explains and recommends some obscure movies or TV series. Following her, you can basically find the right movie or TV series.
Today, Rii didn't update her TV series or movie, but instead posted an update—
[Photo] I'm in love!
[My youth is over, and Rii actually has a boyfriend...]
Why are you posting my husband's picture?!
[Wait a minute, isn't that Xu Meiren?]
[Same world, same husband]
[I knew it, this photo would be absolutely awful (clenching my fist.jpg)]
Am I getting too old? I don't understand anymore.
[Did you see the photo? Isn't he handsome? This is our husband!]
[Are you a guy upstairs?]
[What's wrong with men! Men can't have husbands!]
[Oops, wrong typo! It should be "husband"!]
[Is there any science information available?]
[Science popularization is here! Search: Xu Qian!]
[Wow, I'm kind of tempted!]
[By the way, I recommend a Bilibili (i-site) content creator – "Thousands of Beauties on the Wall," which has tons of edits featuring Xu Meiren!]
[Understood! I'll go check it out!]
[Oh no, my precious boy is gone...]
...
And so, Xu Qian once again trended on social media because of his good looks, and even landed a new product endorsement that same day—truly making a living off his appearance.
But what followed was not just opportunity, but also more trouble.
What happened next once again proved the saying that fame brings trouble.
