A normal movie press conference was boring, it was mainly to promote the movie and introduce the cast and crew.
However, Twin Flowers' press conference was different. Once Han Fei stepped on stage, he was bombarded with negative comments. This kind of 'treatment' was rare. More and more netizens gathered to watch the press conference.
Then, Han Fei's various actions added a series of highlights to the otherwise boring press conference. This man appeared to have no interest in the mundane world but he managed to stay on top of all the hype.
When the hype reached its peak, the screen started to play the edited trailer.
Initially, the netizens had very low expectations for this low budget thriller movie. After all, the upper limit of this kind of movie was there, no matter how good it was, it would not be able to compete with other movies.
But once the trailer was released, many netizens who did not have high expectations were stunned.
Be it the plot or the actors' acting skills, it was far better than most movies that were released at the same time.
This was destined to be a dark horse!
The response from the netizens was very good. The second half of the press conference was basically filled with Director Jiang and Zhan Yueyue answering the questions from the netizens and sharing some interesting stories from the filming.
Everyone on the stage was happy and harmonious, as if they had not been affected by the previous incident, talking and laughing.
Most of the audience were filled with anticipation for Twin Flowers but some were in a bad mood.
At the northeast corner of the audience, a middle-aged man stared at Han Fei with a dark gaze. His eyes were filled with annoyance.
Taking out his phone, he deleted the message sent by the host. Then he entered his backup account and contacted someone through a certain platform.
"I hope you can help me dig up dirt on an actor with a high price."
"Who?"
"His name is Han Fei, his movie Twin Flowers will be released soon."
"You can pay the deposit first, I'll keep an eye on him 24/7."
"You'd better not make me wait too long."
After sending the last message, the middle-aged man stood up from his seat. He silently headed towards the conference door. He did not notice Han Fei was staring at his back silently from the stage.
The press conference ended without a hitch. Until the end, the viewership did not drop below 500,000. For the crew of Twin Flowers, this was a good start.
This was the first time Han Fei showed his face in front of the public, his life had entered a new stage.
In just 2 hours, Han Fei's social media account gained almost 30,000 followers. To his surprise, he realized his name had appeared on the national actor ranking!
Currently, Han Fei was ranked at the 10,000th place. However, he was the only actor on the entire chart who did not have any works to his name. He only made it onto the chart through his promotional videos and livestreams.
The Actor Ranking was determined by the AI based on fame, number of searches, works, number of fans, and other data. Because no one or company interfered, it was currently the most authoritative ranking.
In the past, Han Fei's dream was to make it onto the charts. Only actors who made it onto the charts would be recognized by the public.
"Ten thousandth? After Twin Flowers premieres, my ranking will probably continue to rise. "
It was already 9: 30 pm when the conference ended. Han Fei went backstage and was packing when his phone rang.
"Why is Jin Jun looking for me?" Han Fei had saved this experienced paparazzi before, the two had exchanged contact details.
After picking up the phone, Jin Jun said very quickly, "Someone offered my apprentice a high price to dig up your dirt. That person used a smurf account, but the artists he targeted before all have conflicts of interest with Wu Wu Entertainment Company. I suspect that the person who wants to dig up your dirt is from Wu Wu Entertainment Company."
Jin Jun was very reliable. He not only told Han Fei that someone was targeting Han Fei, he even managed to speculate the person's background.
"Wu Wu Entertainment is one of the companies under my previous company. These people seem to have a lot of opinions about me."
"It's more than that. Your Twin Flowers coincides with Secret Urban Romance. Their filming and marketing costs are more than ten times more than yours, but their popularity and expectations are far behind yours. They're definitely trying to stir up trouble!"
Jin Jun knew a lot of inside information. "Other than that, I heard that you were supposed to play the male supporting role in Secret Urban Romance but your role was taken away. Now that you've helped the police solve a big case, you've become the main character of your biggest competitor, isn't that a slap to Wu Wu Entertainment's face? The more popular your show is, the more they'll suffer. If your show becomes a hit, they'll become the joke of the industry and the person who stole your role will have a hard time in the future. "
"I don't care whether they suffer or not, I only hope that I can live on with a kind and principled life." Han Fei could still remember Huang Yin saying that Perfect Life would be in OB soon. This game might create a new social ecosystem in gaming, there would be very few people who would reject this game.
After OB, the game would be taken over by the artificial intelligence. If these people crossed the line, Han Fei's Spirit Farer talent would come in handy when they joined the game.
Although his Soul Farer talent was still very weak, no one could predict what would happen in the future.
After hanging up the call with Jin Jun, before he picked up his phone, another call came in.
When he saw the caller, Han Fei was quite surprised. He answered the call, "You've been bullied by those hooligans again?"
The caller was Qu Wenhou. His mother, Qu Yun, lived at Happiness Neighbourhood Block 2.
"I really didn't expect you to be an actor! I've had instant noodles with you before! "Qu Wenhou sounded excited.
"You really didn't expect me to be an actor? Then what do you think I'm doing? "
"I thought you're from the underworld! Look at the surveillance before you fight, you're so fast and ruthless, you're so much more realistic than those gangsters in the movies! "
"Fine, fine, don't go around saying that." Han Fei lowered the volume. "I'm leaving the venue soon, is there anything else? Wenhou? "
"I've seen your livestream today. I've explained many times to those who scolded you but no matter how many times I messaged them, they refused to reply."
"You've even said many good things for me?" Han Fei's heart warmed. When he first contacted Qu Wenhou, it was to get more information about Qu Yun. He did not expect his kindness to be so deeply cherished by the man.
"If it was me on stage, I would've broken down already. I really didn't expect that after so many things, you're still able to move forward and you're even willing to help people like me. " Qu Wenhou's voice did not carry the immaturity of a child his age, he sounded very mature. "I still need to thank you again! Starting tomorrow, I'm going back to school, I need to work hard to move forward! "
"Good luck, get into a good university, make those who bullied you envy you."
Han Fei chatted for a while more before hanging up. A strange feeling rose in his heart.
He did not expect someone like himself to be able to bring strength to others. All this time, he had thought of himself as a dejected and useless person who radiated negative emotions.
'Just when did this change happen? Have I been cured? Or have I been corrupted? Or is this the final radiance of the setting sun? '
