The news of Xie Zhou maliciously smearing Xie Zhou's reputation by "not being affected and continuing to film a new movie" spread like wildfire on the Internet. The voices that had been gradually weakening suddenly stirred up a thousand waves on the Internet.
Everyone thought that the two of them would obediently stay at home and "reflect" for a long time, right? Unexpectedly, their resources were not affected at all. Perhaps it was due to some kind of reverse psychology, the more you jump, the more I'll attack you. The fans "publicly punished" the two of them again.
However, this time, it was not so easy to deal with.
After much consideration and comparison, the producers of "Bo Ying" confirmed that it was their old friend, Chairman Cai Yuan. This was Chairman Cai's third collaboration with Zhou Yuhe after "Heaven Seeker" and "Cat and An Xue."
Chairman Cai knew what was good for him. If he dared to bet on "Cat and An Xue," he dared to bet on "Bo Ying." Furthermore, Xie Yifeng had given him a lot of face when it came to the production rights of "Bo Ying." Of course, he would not allow anyone to take the opportunity to trample on the two leads and the movie.
Therefore, without needing Fenghe Studio to do anything, Chairman Cai's Internet Water Army was mobilized.
"An actor's duty is to act. For the past month, Xie Yifeng and Zhou Yuhe's other variety and advertising resources have been cut off. They also rarely appear in front of the public. Now, they're not even allowing them to work?"
Similar comments flooded Weibo like an avalanche. Some things were like a prairie fire. Other than the people who started the momentum at the beginning, fans and netizens gradually realized that their actions were a little too much. It was normal for actors to take on jobs, but … whether they would buy the movie or not was up to them.
Therefore, the anti-fans decided to wait until "Bo Ying" was officially released. No matter what the final product was, they would not contribute to the box office and reputation.
As for the fact that "Bo Ying" was a same-sex movie … it did not spread.
Firstly, the production team did a good job of keeping it a secret. They knew that if they revealed that the two of them were working on a same-sex movie, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, they did not reveal any information about "Bo Ying" to the public.
Secondly, "Bo Ying" was not "Bai Ying." If the production team did not come out to explain, who would be able to link this title to Bai Ying's case after 20 years? There were many similar titles these days. Therefore, as long as Cai Yuan deliberately suppressed information about the movie, even if Ji Chen knew that the two of them were filming a same-sex movie, there was nothing he could do.
Even though the outside world was in chaos, Xie Yifeng and Zhou Yuhe had already closed their Weibo comments and handed their Weibo accounts over to their agents. They were determined to devote all their efforts to the film 'Thin Cherry' in the next few months.
*****
On the day of filming, it rained quite a bit, which was not a good thing in the superstitious Chinese entertainment industry.
Yet, before the first wave had subsided, another wave arose.
There was also a problem with the rental schedule of the venue.
Meng Chuan was so angry that he threw a tantrum on set. "Why don't you guys watch the weather forecast?!"
The assistant was trembling in fear. "Director, we only chose the date because we saw the weather forecast. Who knew …"
The heavens were so unsightly, and now there was a problem with the venue. This was too abnormal …
Director Mong's eyes widened. "What about the backup plan? You're still being stubborn with me! "
The assistant was completely silent.
Zhou Yuhe, who was memorizing his lines, smiled and patted the director on the shoulder. He pointed to the dark sky and said, "Why do I feel like this is a good thing? Now that there's a problem with the venue, we won't be able to film the teenage scenes. We can only jump to the teenage and middle-aged scenes. Doesn't the first scene of the teenage scenes have rain? This way, we can save on the cost of artificial rain. "
Meng Chuan slapped his forehead. That's right! Why didn't I think of that?!
But …
Meng Chuan looked at Zhou Yuhe and couldn't help but stroke his soft hair. "Good my ass. The teenage Cheng Ying and the middle-aged Cheng Ying are two completely different people! You've almost memorized your lines and almost grasped the emotions of the characters. Now you're suddenly asked to jump to the teenage scenes. Can you do it?! "
It wasn't that Meng Chuan doubted Zhou Yuhe's acting skills.
It was that the transformation of characters was completely a matter of experience. When a new actor was acting in a movie, if he wanted to inject all his emotions into the character, he would need to spend a lot of time and effort. Similarly, it would take a long time to remove himself from the character.
Only those veteran actors who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, who had been in and out of the show many times, could quickly switch back and forth between drama and reality, and between characters without being affected.
"Thin Cherry" was a movie that tested the acting skills of the actors. The characters in the movie had a very rich character hierarchy, especially the three main leads.
When Cheng Ying and Cai Bowen were teenagers, they were the kind of high school students who had a good family background and had not experienced the hardships of society and reality. They were clear, natural, and full of youthful energy.
Cheng Ying's name had the character "Wan" in it. Like his name, he was also like a poppy flower. Amidst his brilliance, there was a fatal temptation. He was cold and proud, but lacked the freshness of a teenager. For any actor, this was a challenge.
In order to play the teenage Cheng Ying well, Zhou Yuhe specially lost 12 kilograms in a month. He didn't lose weight through exercise, but purely through hunger. He even went to the skin care center, which he didn't like to go to, almost every day. It was all to act out the slender and transparent image of the teenage Cheng Ying.
If they really wanted to start filming from the teenage years, not only would all the preparations be wasted, but the most important thing was that the teenage Cheng Ying and the teenage Cheng Ying were like heaven and earth in terms of character settings.
With the exposure of Bai Sui and Cai Bowen's relationship, it could be said that in that very conservative era, it was like a bolt of lightning had struck the two traditional families. Family, school, neighbors, and other people in society all used their own methods to pressure the two to separate. The Cai family even moved away from H City.
