Actor's Bend

Chapter 64

The fierce sunlight in the midsummer afternoon was mostly blocked by the thick curtains, and the light in the room was not very bright, so to be honest, Pei Shuo couldn't see the look in Qi You's eyes clearly when he said this.

The room was very quiet except for the slight hum of the air conditioner.

"I know it's important to me," Pei Shuo said after a while, and he raised his head and stared at Qi You stubbornly, "but it's the same for you, too."

"Tsk," Qi You frowned impatiently, "This is not my first movie, don't come with me..."

"That's not the question." Pei Shuo interrupted Qi You, he rarely spoke to Qi You in such a direct tone, so Qi You was stunned for a moment.

Before the movie poster was announced, Pei Shuo was still looking forward to the release of the publicity news, which would make Qi You gradually get rid of the shadow of the news some time ago, but unexpectedly, the crew directly minimized Qi You's presence.

Pei Shuo could almost predict how much Qi You's scenes would be cut from the released movie.

Pei Shuo moved his lips, wanting to ask Qi You, if he still remembers how much work it took for this movie from setting makeup to finalizing, and if he still remembers how many hours he spent in the minus few degrees of weather. The shot was shot for hours, and I want to ask the other party if he still remembers the script that has been turned over countless times...

In fact, Pei Shuo knew that Qi You must remember it all.

During the days of filming "Perfect Evolution" together, Pei Shuo has been watching Qi You's dedication, but now all these sweat and hard work have been silently wiped out, which Pei Shuo can't accept anyway.

What makes Pei Shuo even more uncomfortable is that Qi You's pride does not allow him to show any weakness.Looking at Qi You's understatement, as if he didn't care at all, Pei Shuo only felt that his heart was firmly pinched by an invisible hand.

"Contract, by the way, contract!" Pei Shuo's eyes lit up as if thinking of something, "Isn't it a breach of contract for the propaganda party to deliberately weaken your existence?"

Qi You was almost at a loss by Pei Shuo, he sighed, and explained patiently: "It's useless, the investor is Xingjiang... and speaking of it, they can also say that my actions are worthwhile." To damage the image of a public figure is because I breached the contract first."

Pei Shuo clenched his fists and froze, unable to speak.

"Anyway, these things can't be solved by worrying about you and me here," Qi You bent his fingers and tapped Pei Shuo's forehead, "Just follow the crew's promotion with all your heart, don't worry about it."

"What about you?" Pei Shuo still had an expression of 'what should I do about the swelling'.

Qi You was almost speechless, he said bluntly: "You don't need to worry about it. Also, you have been looking at me like this almost every day for more than a month, how miserable am I now?"

"I'm not……"

"Stop it," Qi You gestured to zip up Pei Shuo's mouth, "this is the last time I'll discuss this with you. I'm in good shape and I'm doing well. Don't worry about it again." Stop worrying about this mess for me."

After Qi You finished speaking, she closed Pei Shuo's poor notebook with a 'snap', and then pulled Pei Shuo out of the chair very ungentlely, and dragged him directly into the bedroom.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Pei Shuo was still immersed in the feeling of loss and couldn't extricate himself, he couldn't react to the sudden change of painting style.

"Sleep." Qi You replied coldly.

Pei Shuoxin said no, wouldn't it be too much to just do that in broad daylight, and didn't he just do it last night?But when he was pressed on the bed unwillingly, Qi You didn't press up as usual, but just lay down beside him.

"Just, just sleep?" Pei Shuo asked foolishly, could it be that it was just a literal meaning this time?

"Are you disappointed?" Qi You asked back while staring at Pei Shuo, resting his head on his hands.

Pei Shuo shook his head quickly, but at the same time complained in his heart that I just woke up less than two hours ago, what's wrong with lying back now?Moreover, Brother Yi, you don't usually have the habit of taking a nap, do you?

Because he woke up very late in the morning, Pei Shuo didn't feel sleepy at all right now, turning over like pancakes beside Qi You.

Within 2 minutes, Qi You was completely annoyed.

"Try to move again?" Qi You threatened Pei Shuo with a grim expression.

Pei Shuo immediately lay down knowingly, but before he could find a more comfortable position, Qi You put an arm over without saying anything, clasped Pei Shuo's waist forcefully, and hugged Pei Shuo completely hugged like a large teddy bear.

"I'm sleepy now, you'd better not wake me up." Qi You said in a low voice, and then stopped talking.

Strange to say, Pei Shuo felt that it was uncomfortable to be frozen there, but listening to Qi You's gradually becoming even breathing by his ears, he also relaxed unconsciously.

In stark contrast to the quiet and leisurely atmosphere of Qi You and Pei Shuo at the moment, there was the chaotic and noisy situation on the Internet.

After seeing the posters and promotional photos released by the crew of "Perfect Evolution", Qi You's fans immediately exploded.

Since Qi You's negative news broke out a few months ago, Qi You's fans have been shrouded in depression.Many fans resolutely announced that their fans turned black, and the remaining loyalists, although they still supported Qi You, seemed a little powerless under the siege of the overall public opinion.

Therefore, in the eyes of all Qi You fans, this movie is almost like a life-saving straw, and they all hope to use this movie to bring Qi You back.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the early publicity came out, it turned out to be completely opposite to the previous expectations.

In a few hours, the promotional Weibo has been forwarded nearly [-] times. At first, it was normal to be amazed by the poster and look forward to the movie, but slowly, some yin and yang arguments began to appear.

First, when a well-known joker reposted it, he teased a few words: "Pei Shuo's aura should not be too strong, maybe the crew gave Pei Shuo all the benefits originally given to King Qi."

Many of Pei Shuo's fans who followed the repost had a negative attitude towards Qi You due to the influence of the rumors before, so their words also had the meaning of stepping on Qi You.

"Feng Shui takes turns, my little Pei doesn't need to hug Little Heavenly King Qi's thigh."

"Tsk tsk, Little Heavenly King Qi's sense of presence is really low like never before. Where's Brother Xingjiang?"

"Did you think you could make a comeback with this movie? I didn't expect it...it's really 23333."

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Qi You's fans certainly would not allow others to bully him for this reason, so they immediately pinched back fiercely.

"Can fans of some second-tier starlets position themselves? If I remember correctly, Pei Shuo's only work now is just a TV series, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, Pei Shuo doesn't need to hug his thighs, he just needs to sell fried CP with others."

"Ugh, the baby face is the most annoying thing. Don't be too scheming with a pure and innocent look."

Weibo and forums were in chaos again, and occasionally rational fans stood up and wanted to calm things down, but it didn't help at all.

For the movie "Perfect Evolution", of course, it has already earned enough buzz before the official promotion.And after that, the crew's official Weibo released the next few rounds of pre-heating promotions one after another, single character trailers, 15-second trailers, plot songs, and so on.

It's just that without exception, in these clips, there is almost no shadow of Qi You, or there is only a flash.

Slowly, remarks similar to 'Qi You will be completely banned' began to appear, entertainment bloggers on Weibo also began to mock Qi You, and everyone began to eagerly want to see the official promotion, What kind of posture will Qi You appear in?

However, to everyone's surprise, Qi You did not participate in the promotion of "Perfect Evolution" at all.

The entertainment variety shows that the crew put on together, or interviews with all the members, or exclusive interviews with magazines... all the activities were not attended by Qi You.And the public relations of the propagandists are also very strong, all the hosts or writers tacitly did not mention Qi You.

——Even if the Darwin demon he plays is the most important clue throughout the whole movie.

All in all, after more than a month, the promotion of "Perfect Evolution" went smoothly.People predicted that Qi You would be the failure of this movie, or that homophobic people would spontaneously boycott this movie, because the name "Qi You" was basically never mentioned in the publicity. .

In mid-August, the original novel of "Perfect Evolution" was authorized to be republished, and all the crew members participated in the first signing event held in Ganan.

At this time, it was almost the end of the promotional period, and Pei Shuo felt aggrieved throughout the promotional period, and now he only hoped that the sooner the better.

If the promotional period of this movie was not over, Pei Shuo felt that he might really not be able to help but say something.

However, at the signing meeting that day, something unexpected happened.

Most of the people who came that day were fans of the original book, and there were not many fans of the actors present, so the order was very good. Pei Shuo kept his head buried in signing all afternoon, until a girl was waiting for him to sign, and suddenly asked Said: "Do you think the movie will be changed a lot compared with the original book?"

Pei Shuo was stunned, and then replied according to the official answer all the time: "No, the movie retains the original context to the greatest extent."

Unexpectedly, the girl's next question came immediately: "Then the Darwin demon runs through the whole story in the original book, what about in the movie? Does Qi You really have so many roles?"

The girl's voice was not shrill, but it was very clear, and several media reporters present could hear it clearly.Before the interview, they were told that Qi You was a minefield that could not be mentioned, but now they were directly picked up by passers-by.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little restless.

The person in charge of the publicity party in the backstage immediately became anxious, and almost wanted to drag that fan off the stage immediately. If Pei Shuo said something wrong, the box office might be greatly affected.

All eyes involuntarily focused on Pei Shuo, and the reporters pricked up their ears, hoping that Pei Shuo could give some explosive answers.

The author has something to say: Cough, this is the bottom of the valley... and then there will be the plot of Brother Qi's cool, handsome, domineering (what the hell) comeback~!
