Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 60: Overflowing with Boyfriend Power

The two got up very early the next day and headed to Hangzhou for a roadshow.

"Xiaolu, how were the box office results on opening day?"

While eating breakfast in the car, Gu Luojin asked about the data.

"Brother Gu, today is the official release date; yesterday was just a preview screening."

Preview screenings are usually not included in traditional box office statistics because they are not considered formal commercial screenings.

Preview screenings are advance screenings of films before their official release, with the aim of building word-of-mouth and testing the market, similar to closed beta testing before a game's official launch.

Similar small-scale screenings were first conducted in China with the film "Hero," but large-scale audience screenings are a phenomenon that has emerged in recent years.

Hollywood blockbusters were the most common film to use for advance screenings, but later domestic films followed suit and some even had advance screenings for 17 consecutive days.

Yes, I'm talking about the previous life of "The Big Shot".

"Alright."

Anyway, he only takes the paycheck; the revenue sharing has nothing to do with him.

As Gu Luojin stepped into the movie theater, everyone urged him to pay the bill.

"Tonight, Mr. Zhao will pay for everything."

While other lines didn't go viral, this one did, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

Just like the "You're so sexy" meme from the TV series "Temptation of Going Home," it can quickly go viral and make a name for itself. Many casual viewers only became aware of the celebrity through this viral meme.

"With so many people, I'd probably go bankrupt if I hired anyone else. But I'll give each audience member in the theater a cup of milk tea."

"You buy tickets to see my movie, and I'll treat you to milk tea. You can't embarrass me, Young Master Zhao."

The audience in the theater were seeing celebrities in real life for the first time; they just wanted to make a joke.

"No need to invite us, we were just joking."

"You can't do without it, I've already lit it. Someone, close the door for me."

"If anyone leaves without finishing the milk tea I ordered, then they are disrespecting me, Young Master Zhao, in Binhai."

The audience chanted in unison, "You're the real big shot!"

Actually, there is such a lovely group of fans. It doesn't matter if he spends money to buy them a cup of milk tea, because they will repay him.

……

Yang Mi, who had come to the movie theater in disguise, heard the uniform response from screening room number 1 and asked her assistant for advice.

What's going on in there?

"Sister Honey, the creative team of 'The Big Shot' is in Hangzhou today for a roadshow."

"Is it pretty?"

"I haven't seen it either, but I've heard that the characters in the show are portrayed as quite evil."

"Then let's watch a different movie, let's watch 'The Big Shot'."

After all, there wasn't a single domestic film that could compete with "The Big Shot" from the same period, and it was competing with trashy movies like "The Road to Heaven" and "The Photographer" that few viewers remembered.

Moreover, both of them delivered high-energy performances in "The Big Shot".

The roadshow in Hangzhou has ended, and Gu Luojin is about to head to the next one.

……

Yang Mi, who was still watching the movie in the theater, was amazed by Gu Luojin's acting skills: "Who is this artist? His first movie is so amazing."

"This movie's box office performance won't be too low."

Yang Mi's debut film was "Mysterious Island," which was a pioneering work of fan-made films and made her one of the earliest traffic stars to prove her commercial value to capital.

With a production cost of 500 million yuan, the film grossed 9000 million yuan, achieving a return on investment of 18 times, making it one of the most profitable films of the year.

Although the film achieved such high box office numbers purely due to its fans and the nudity shown in the film, its reputation was disastrous.

"Honey, I checked the information, and he's your junior."

"Oh, what's so interesting about that? Are you signed with a company? If not, sign with Jiahang. If you are, see if we can poach you."

"it is good."

……

Gu Luojin, still on his way, was unaware that he was being watched. Not only was Xiao Hua eyeing him, but Da Hua was too.

"Nazha, don't you feel sleepy?"

Gu Luojin felt very tired these past two days, and something was wrong with her.

It wasn't physical fatigue from the roadshow, but rather mental exhaustion.

In the past, Nazha did all the roadshows by herself, but now that Gu Luojin is with her, she doesn't feel tired at all.

"I'm not tired at all; in fact, I'm feeling a bit bored."

Goodness, she certainly feels more relaxed, both physically and mentally.

Gu Luojin offered a suggestion: "If you're bored, I suggest you play a few games."

Naza became shy: "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

He didn't understand what was wrong with it.

"Then I'll listen to you."

Gu Luojin felt as if her fate was being held by the throat; things were not right, so she quickly retreated.

"Nazha, you've got the wrong person. No wonder your acting is so bad and you're getting such sharp criticism from netizens."

He had made himself perfectly clear, but Naza still misunderstood him.

"Is there?"

"have."

Is this something you can just play with casually?

She got more and more excited as she played, while Gu Luojin got more and more sleepy.

"I'm going to sleep now. Wake me up when we get there."

"Okay." If she hadn't been so sleepy, Gu Luojin would have already noticed the mischievous smile that she could barely hide at the corner of her mouth.

Sometimes what wakes you up isn't the alarm clock, but your body's natural waking mechanism.

When Gu Luojin woke up and saw the scene before her, she sensed Nazha's madness.

Didn't I feed her last night? No way.

Finally, even when Nazha said she couldn't eat anymore, Gu Luojin took the bowl away.

"Nazha, you have no conscience! I was asleep, and you still treat me like this."

"Can conscience feed you? If I don't take care of Xiao Xiao Gu, who will? And you can't take good care of her anyway."

Okay, okay, women are all performers.

"Sis, we've arrived."

"Let's go."

At every subsequent roadshow, audience members would ask Mr. Zhao to pay the bill.

Although the amount of money is not much, it is worthwhile to increase his popularity through famous memes and to invest in his future image by cultivating his fans and public image.

Fans are a difficult group to control; some are rational, some are loyal, and some are extreme.

The extreme destructive power of extreme fans can be seen from these two top-tier incidents.

Gu Luojin doesn't want extreme fans; she's unwavering in her resolve, but she's also incredibly prone to causing trouble.

All he needs are loyal fans who buy his albums and support him on the charts.

Director Wu on stage was sharing funny stories from the film crew, but Gu Luojin had heard it so many times that she was sick of it.

Naza and he started talking about something unrelated.

She raised an eyebrow at Gu Luojin: "Little Gu, you have grand ambitions."

Oops, Nazha noticed it by accident.

"It's like the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people aren't allowed to light lamps. Who told me to be a nobody now, not as powerful as you big shots?"

Gu Luojin was kicked by Nazha, who possessed Yin and Yang, and he immediately retaliated.

"Aren't you childish?"

The two exchanged words on stage, and soon many people noticed their subtle interactions, which became a captivating sight.

The audience members all took out their phones to take pictures and keep the memories.

The two, who were having a bad time, were completely unaware that they were being watched by everyone, and no one bothered them with their childish behavior.

Everyone lost control of their expressions, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up.

She watched the two children's childish yet blissfully happy little actions with a loving smile, a maternal smile spreading across her face.

They preferred to watch the two of them laughing and joking rather than listen to old-fashioned, clichéd arguments.

By the time the two realized what had happened, they had become the center of attention.

Faced with the sudden attention, Nazha's ears flushed red. She subconsciously took a half-step closer to Gu Luojin, as if that was her only refuge.

This small but intimate gesture was captured precisely by the camera, causing the entire audience to gasp in unison before erupting into enthusiastic cheers.

[This couple is so sweet! No other couple is as good as a real-life couple; they're practically showering us with sweetness.]

[To truly enjoy their relationship, you don't need to deliberately look for scenes of "sweetness"; the real sweetness is hidden in their subconscious.]

All my romantic fantasies were poured into this couple.

"Come on, let's invite our male lead Gu Luojin and actress Gulnazar to say a few words to everyone."

【it is good. 】

The deafening shouts seemed to reflect the overwhelming expectations placed upon the two.

Naza was stunned; after just two roadshow appearances, she went from a supporting role to the lead.

She didn't know what to say, so she handed the microphone to Gu Luojin.

"I think I've said everything I needed to say. Now, I'll give you all a talent show."

"This talent is called the Sleeping Beauty move. You can try it with your boyfriend when you get home, but please be careful!"

Fortunately, Nazha was wearing jeans today, otherwise it wouldn't have been convenient to show her off.

Trust me.

"Of course I believe you."

The rest of the crew gave the two of them space to perform.

Gu Luojin took off his outer garment, revealing his muscles through his close-fitting shirt, which drew another gasp from the audience.

The abs that catch the eye of the audience are nothing new to Nazha; they're just an everyday occurrence for her.

Naza stood side by side with Gu Luojin, and she trustingly placed her hand in his left hand.

Gu Luojin bent down, gently placed his right hand on Nazha's ankle, and used his core strength to easily lift her onto his shoulder.

Naza lay on his shoulder, one leg outstretched like a swan, the other gracefully bent, creating a beautiful picture that perfectly combined strength and grace.

In an instant, the flashbulbs on the scene were like a red carpet, frantically taking pictures of the two.

[His boyfriend-like strength is off the charts! This is in stark contrast to some of the physically weak male actors in the Chinese entertainment industry who can't even lift a female actress weighing a few dozen kilograms.]

This is so easy, it's like drinking water.

Ah...this is so sweet! I'm going to support Nali Gujin!

This is so satisfying to ship! There are subtle little gestures and overt, open interactions. As long as this couple continues, I'll keep shipping them.

This brings us to Arthur, a man dedicated to displaying charm and imitating a certain celebrity in front of the camera, yet unable to lift the female lead Chen Xiao behind the scenes.

She even shifted the blame to Chen Xiao, blaming her for eating too much that night, or for eating on purpose.

The audience was almost frenzied, and one person posted online asking: "Did you two really talk?"

The two neither denied nor admitted it, otherwise it would be difficult to continue promoting their on-screen couple status.

"Xiaolu, how were the box office results on the first day?"

At night, Nazha, lying on Gu Luojin's lap, had a flushed face. Gu Luojin had been too manly in the afternoon, which had stirred her heart.

To reward Gu Luojin, she dragged him into another duo match.

I really don't know who's rewarding whom; it happens three or four times a day, and I can't tell the difference between the two anymore.

She was already used to their unrestrained exercise.

"The box office reached 1480 million yuan on the opening day, accounting for 99.5% of the screenings and with more than 2.4 screenings. Maoyan predicts that the box office will reach 1 million yuan in three days, and the momentum will continue to rise."

"Subsequent box office results will need to be predicted based on data from one week."

The production cost of "The Big Shot" was around 50 million. The 300 million box office in the previous life had already earned the production team 100 million, and they were quite fat.

With both he and Gulnazar being good-looking and having decent acting skills, the box office for "The Big Shot" in this life should rise further, surpassing the 300 million of the original life.

Naza, lying on my lap, is on a shopping spree, buying everything from blood-dripping guillotines and sexy nightgowns to QQ uniforms.

Seeing this scene, Gu Luojin felt that what he was carrying on his shoulders was not Nazha's legs, but a heavy task and historical mission.

The Buddha said, "If I am not like hell, then who is like hell?"

"Training is still essential."
