Xi Yue wanted to be an actor, not an artist.
Even though this kind of romance web drama was not his cup of tea, Jiujiu was the one who had asked him to take on this drama. Therefore, even though he did not like it, Xi Yue still picked up the script and read it carefully, thinking that he had to finish what he started.
Although the plot was melodramatic, Xi Yue was serious.
The second male lead did not have many scenes, and it was basically just a few things, but Xi Yue was thinking about it seriously.
After spending a whole day reading the script, Xi Yue searched for a few popular romance dramas on the Internet, especially the actors' interpretations of the second male lead. He memorized them carefully.
Every time he finished watching a drama, he would remember how the actor interpreted the role of the second male lead and carefully analyze the actor's strengths and weaknesses.
Again and again and again.
When the filming started, the director's eyes shone as brightly as the stars in the sky when he saw Xi Yue.
It had only been a few days, but Xi Yue's temperament was still dazzling, and he gave off a warm feeling like spring. He was just like the second male lead.
The production period of web dramas was relatively short, and the filming period was even shorter.
Jiujiu knew that this web drama would be popular, and she wanted to suppress Chen Xihe and support Xi Yue, so before the filming, she specially asked the director to make the scenes and costumes of the best quality.
Jiujiu was paying, so Jiujiu was naturally the boss. Therefore, the director naturally agreed to all of Jiujiu's requests.
Besides, it was good for him to have a good set. Most importantly, he did not have to pay for it himself, so the director agreed without hesitation.
Two months later, the filming of the web drama ended, and the next step was to edit it and arrange the release date.
This web drama was based on a popular novel called 'The Pain of Youth' a few years ago. Because it was called 'The Pain of Youth', the ending was one death and one injury.
Well, the female lead died, the male lead lost his memory, and the child of the male lead and the female lead was taken away by the second male lead.
It was said that when the ending was released, the fans in the book review were all angry and unwilling to accept it.
In order to cater to the audience, the director changed the ending to a reunion between the male lead and female lead, and the beloved second male lead died to save the female lead.
When this plan was first announced, many of the second male lead's fans objected to it. However, the second male lead's fans were too weak compared to the male and female lead's fans, so the second male lead's death was decided.
Jiujiu wanted to make Xiyue famous, so she naturally wouldn't be stingy when it came to marketing.
At first, the author made it to the trending searches to gain popularity. Then, he released publicity photos and gave a short preview.
Jiujiu had specially instructed the director to cut this short trailer.
On the surface, the male and female protagonists had more screen time, but Xi Yue's screen time was the best. Especially her lonely back, it was as beautiful as a painting. Every frame could be taken as a wallpaper.
Jiujiu spent money to buy the trending searches and contacted several VIPs with tens of millions of fans on Weibo to help with the promotion. Within a few days, the web drama was trending all over Weibo.
Although people with discerning eyes could tell that this was public relations, they couldn't resist Jiujiu's wealth. On the day the web drama was released, this small web drama that not many people knew about was extremely popular.
Although the female lead of this web drama was a somewhat familiar third-rate actress, both the male lead and the second male lead were complete newbies.
However, in this era where good looks were righteous, good looks were king. Because of Chen Xihe's good looks and Xiyue's good temperament, many people came to watch the drama.
However, although most of those people went for Chen Xihe's face, they ended up being Xiyue's fans.
It wasn't that Chen Xihe wasn't handsome or good at acting. On the contrary, Chen Xihe was very good at acting and was very handsome. However, compared with Xiyue, who had a good temperament and was a warm man, Chen Xihe was a little worse.
Moreover, although Chen Xihe was the male lead, his character wasn't very likable. He was a kind of scumbag who appeared on stage and slowly cleaned up in the end. Although Chen Xihe was handsome and good at acting, his character was too bad. Besides, Xiyue was too outstanding.
Although Xiyue wasn't as good-looking as Chen Xihe, good looks couldn't make up for bad temperament. Temperament was like history. It couldn't be obtained without a long time of accumulation and settling down.
As for Xiyue, he had such a good temperament. Even if he just stood there as a background, he was still as bright as a morning star, making people couldn't help but look at him.
If there was no Xiyue, most people would probably like Chen Xihe.
However, the problem was that with Xiyue, most of the fans were attracted to Xiyue.
Xiyue was like a cup of tea. At first, it looked very bland, but as time passed, it became more and more charming. Moreover, the second male lead of Xiyue was an extremely gentle person. He was so good to the female lead. Every time the female lead was in danger, the first person to appear would be Xiyue.
Xiyue was so gentle and considerate. When the female lead hurt him, his eyes were so sad, but he would still help the female lead the next time she was in danger.
Xiyue was so good and had such an outstanding temperament. Compared to the scumbag and playboy male lead, Xiyue was as perfect as a prince in a fairy tale.
This web drama was obviously a love story between the male lead and the female lead. However, because Xiyue was too outstanding, the second male lead who didn't have many scenes in one episode firmly captured everyone's hearts.
As for the male lead, Chen Xihe, who wanted to see him?
Every time he appeared, he was either pretending to be handsome or quarreling with the female lead. If it weren't for Chen Xihe, Xiyue would have already fallen in love with the female lead. At the thought of Xiyue's death, everyone's heart instantly turned cold.
Their Xiyue ~
Sob sob sob, no ~
However, no matter how the audience called for it, the ending of the web drama was fixed. Xiyue was destined to die. However, on the day of Xiyue's death, the web drama's ratings exploded. On a certain website, there were a series of subtitles that said Xiyue shouldn't cry and that the female lead was blind.
During the broadcast of the web drama, Xiyue's Weibo directly increased by two million fans. It might not be a big deal for some celebrities, but one had to know that Xiyue was a newcomer. His work was just a web drama, and he was only the second male lead with few scenes.
It was simply a miracle that he could increase so many fans.
As for the male lead, Chen Xihe, although he was the male lead and acted well, Xiyue was more popular than him. Therefore, after the web drama ended, the public only knew his name. They didn't comment on his acting skills at all.
