Ninety-seven:
As it turned out, his hunch was correct. After only the first six episodes were aired, "A Page of Love Poems" successfully attracted public attention with its actors' super-high looks, fresh style, and interesting character interactions. The crew struck while the iron was hot and asked the actors to answer questions from fans on Weibo. Of course, Chu Cheng, as the most special actor in the crew, did not participate in these promotions.
It was the first time for Ji Qingzhou to do this kind of Weibo Q&A, which was a bit novel. Because it was a promotion for a TV series, the questions he chose were all related to the TV series, and there were not many personal questions. After the Q&A session, fans jokingly shouted, "Brother is too official, he keeps his mouth shut."
Chu Cheng's fans saw that everyone else in the crew had participated in the Weibo Q&A, but Chu Cheng did not participate. They were confused and discussed what was going on in the fan club group. Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou quickly comforted him, "Brother must have something to do, so he didn't participate in this promotion."
"But it's not just this time. My brother is not included in every promotion." Someone responded immediately.
"Does my brother have a bad relationship with the crew?" someone asked.
"No," Ji Qingzhou thought to himself that the crew would never have a bad relationship with him, as he was an investor! "I visited the set and everyone got along very well."
“Then why didn’t he participate in any publicity?”
It wasn't just Chu Cheng's fans who had this doubt, there were also passers-by on the forum, "Is Chu Cheng at odds with the crew? It seems like he wasn't even mentioned in the promotion of A Page of Love Poems."
"The crew is suppressing newcomers? That shouldn't be the case. Except for Ji Qingzhou, no one else in this drama is famous. Zhou Ling is only a third-tier star."
"I checked Chu Cheng's Weibo, and there was not much content about the drama on his Weibo. However, there was a lot of interaction with Ji Qingzhou, and it was after Ji Qingzhou became famous this year. It's a bit hard to describe."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ji Qingzhou felt that these people were too idle. Was it because Academician Yuan Longping had fed them too much?
He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to speak up for Chu Cheng, but Chu Cheng's fans jumped out first, "What are you talking about? Can't actors interact with each other? Besides, it was Ji Qingzhou who started the interaction first, so can this be considered Chu Cheng trying to curry favor with someone?"
"Isn't Chu Cheng keeping a low profile? He doesn't even participate in the promotion, and this can be interpreted as wanting to be famous. It's really funny."
"Chu Cheng has not participated in any online or offline promotions since the broadcast of "A Page of Love Poems" and has not posted many messages on Weibo. If he wants to be famous, would he do this?"
"Fuck, after reading the comments above, I feel more and more that he has conflicts with the crew. It's really scary when I think about it."
Ji Qingzhou looked at it, pondered and said to Chu Cheng, "Why don't you also participate in the promotion of "A Page of Love Poems"? "
Before Chu Cheng said this, he received a call from Zhou Chengfeng, who told him about the things that were happening online. He never thought that he would be misunderstood like this even though he did not participate in the publicity. However, he was not an actor after all, and he did not want to be famous, so he did not want to change himself for these irrelevant people. However, Chu Cheng thought about it and silently logged into his Weibo.
Ji Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he saw the pop-up window of his special interest on Weibo. When he clicked on it, he saw a text sent by Chu Cheng.
"Regarding my recent absence from publicity, let me explain. I was forced to act in "A Page of Love Poems" because of circumstances. For some reasons, the crew needed to recast, and they had not found a suitable actor for the role of Zhuang Xiangyang. It happened that I went to visit Qingzhou on set and was spotted by the crew. Qingzhou also advised me to do a favor, and I played the role for his sake. However, my main job is not an actor, and I don't plan to develop in this direction, so I refused the later publicity of "A Page of Love Poems". Thank you for your love and attention, but I don't plan to change my career at the moment, so you don't have to pay so much attention to me. If you like me, then please support Ji Qingzhou more."
Ji Qingzhou was simply shocked, "What are you doing? Does Brother Zhou know?"
"Do I need him to know?" Chu Cheng said with disdain, "When did I ever need him to know when I was doing something?"
“But what you wrote…”
"Isn't that right?" Chu Cheng asked back, "Can I still debut and attract fans to become an idol? I can make tens of millions in a minute, okay?"
Ji Qingzhou couldn't do anything to him, but he had a hunch that his fans were going to explode. He clicked on the comment section, and sure enough, fans left messages saying, "Brother, you are too bold."
"Brother, what is your relationship with Ji Qingzhou? I am very confused by what you said."
“Aaaaah #ridingaboat#eatingcandy,it’ssofuckingsweet.”
"Can anyone tell me what the reason is for 'for some reason, the crew needs to recast'? I missed class?"
Ji Qingzhou looked at the increasing number of comments below, and he had a hunch that this Weibo post would definitely be moved to the forum, and it was hard to tell how it would be interpreted.
However, Chu Cheng didn't care about these. What he cared about was, "It's your birthday next week. Where do you want to go?"
Ji Qingzhou looked up at him when he heard that. Chu Cheng looked at him seriously, waiting for his answer.
"Where do you want to go?" Ji Qingzhou asked him, "I'm fine with anything."
"Of course you decide your birthday."
Ji Qingzhou didn't have any thoughts. He had long lost his enthusiasm for this fake birthday, and it seemed to be the same no matter where he went.
"It's all right. It's up to you."
Chu Cheng felt that something was wrong with his current state. When it was his birthday before, he had actively expressed that he hoped that they could celebrate it together. How come he thought that was all right now?
"You don't have anywhere you want to go?"
"There's nothing I particularly want to go." Ji Qingzhou said truthfully.
