Chapter 494 If You Don’t Plant Flowers in Your Heart, It Will Be Overgrown with Weeds
Xu Ye has not announced the specific name of the movie "Flirting Scholar", and the related actors have signed confidentiality agreements, so they will not tell the public.
In fact, many actors who are going to participate in the movie still don't know the name of the movie.
Xu Ye originally thought that he would just announce the name at a suitable time.
He has a lot of traffic now, and even if he only announces one name, it can attract attention, but such popularity will be forgotten after everyone sees it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guangze actually took the initiative to cause trouble, which made the popularity of "Never Expected" rise.
Xu Ye decided to take advantage of his own popularity.
Now it's time.
On the earth, if you talk about Chinese comedians, the person who must be mentioned is Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow promoted the style of nonsensical comedy in China and left behind classic works.
When Shen Teng, the school grass of the Military Art Academy, was in his prime, everyone expected him to be the second Stephen Chow.
Unfortunately, Shen Teng failed to become the second Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow is unique.
Fortunately, Xu Ye is a hacker, he has a system.
Bring Stephen Chow's classic works to the audience of this world, and let them feel the unique style of nonsensical comedy.
Xu Ye doesn't care about educational significance and nutrition.
If the audience can really learn something from it, it is also the audience's own understanding.
Xu Ye just wants to bring happiness to all the audience.
It would be even better if he could win an award.
"Although I am making fun, I am also making fun seriously!"
Xu Ye has always thought so.
"Flirting Scholar" is his trial work.
Since "Never Expected" can become popular in this world, it means that the audience still likes this type of drama.
Then move "Flirting Scholar" to the big screen first, and give everyone a little shock.
As for winning an award with this movie, it is unlikely, and this movie is still a little bit off.
Xu Ye also has his plan in mind, but some movies are really not something you can make by just writing a script and getting a few actors together.
Especially Stephen Chow's movies.
If he were to go find those real movie actors with real strength now, they might not be willing to play with him.
You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
After proving himself with facts first, when he goes to make a blockbuster, he will have more say in the selection of actors and when he talks with the theaters about scheduling.
After asking a few important questions, the reporter was ready to end the interview, but Xu Ye said, "Can I use this interview to pass a message to Chen Guangze?"
The female reporter was immediately excited when she heard it.
During the interview, she did not mention Chen Guangze, mainly because she was worried that Xu Ye did not want to answer.
After all, Chen Guangze and Xu Ye are rivals.
Since Xu Ye wants to say it, she will naturally not refuse.
You can say whatever you want.
This is all about popularity.
The reporter asked, "Of course."
Xu Ye said slowly, "Give Teacher Chen a message. If you don't plant flowers in your heart, it will be full of weeds."
Hearing this philosophical sentence, the reporter also fell into deep thought.
With this sentence, the whole interview style feels different.
This is called professionalism!
After the interview, the female reporter smiled and said, "Xu Ye, thank you for your cooperation. We will leave first."
The female reporter stood up and shook hands with Xu Ye. After shaking hands, Xu Ye suddenly pointed to the floor and said, "You dropped something."
The reporter hurriedly looked at the ground, but didn't see anything on the ground.
She wondered, "What did you drop? I didn't see it."
Xu Ye smiled and said, "It's right that you didn't see it, because I lied to you."
The female reporter showed a helpless expression.
She finally understood why Zhou Dachen asked Xu Ye to play Wang Dachui with restraint.
You really deserve a beating!
It's a pity that I can't beat you, forget it.
After the reporter left, he went back and quickly edited the entire interview video, ready to take advantage of this wave of popularity to send it out and promote Xu Ye.
Penguin Video is still very professional here, and has prepared a publicity plan long ago.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the edited interview video was released on major platforms using the official account of Penguin Video.
Later, this is a big studio and the official microblog that I never expected also forwarded it.
The edited video is not long, only about four minutes.
Netizens were confused by the first sentence after clicking in.
"I never thought that you are a person who only rushes and does not surf!"
"Sorry, I only surf and do not rush."
"Then I am both surfing and rushing."
When talking about the name of this kind of comedy, everyone also paid special attention.
In today's China, only Xu Ye is qualified to give a name to this type of comedy.
After the name of Wulitou comedy came out, many netizens who did not know the three words Wulitou asked in the comment area.
Kind netizens also patiently answered everyone in the comment area.
"So, the name Wulitou comedy is indeed very suitable."
"So, the dean is Wulitou."
"Will there be other people who will make nonsensical comedies in the future? I think this kind of comedy is quite good, and it feels different from traditional comedies."
Then, the reporter asked Xu Ye if he had any other works.
After the name of "Flirting Scholar" came out, it caused a sensation.
In addition, at the end of the interview, Xu Ye also said something specifically to Chen Guangze.
Chen Guangze said that this kind of comedy is not worthy of being shown on the big screen, and Xu Ye is now preparing a nonsensical comedy movie.
"If you don't plant flowers in your heart, you will grow weeds. It's well said that some people just can't stand seeing others do well."
"Look forward to "Flirting Scholar", see you in the cinema!"
"Teacher Chen, it's none of your business whether nonsensical comedy can be shown on the big screen, let's wait until Xu Ye's movie is released."
"So, Chen Guangze's heart is full of weeds?"
Silly netizens played all kinds of games in the comment area.
For everyone, it's still a surprise to hear new news about Xu Ye's movie.
Before, everyone only knew that Xu Ye's new movie invited the new film queen Wu Yongxia to participate, and no other information was known.
Now that preparations have begun, it means that it is not far from the start of filming.
After seeing the content of this interview, people in the entertainment industry were a little confused.
The story of Tang Bohu Pointing to Autumn Fragrance is well-known to everyone, and everyone has heard of it.
Since the movie uses this name, this movie must be a costume movie.
"Too many people know the folk story of Tang Bohu Pointing to Autumn Fragrance. It is too difficult to make a nonsensical comedy movie based on this story."
"Since it is Tang Bohu Pointing to Autumn Fragrance, the protagonist must be Tang Bohu. I really can't connect Xu Ye with Tang Bohu, the talented man."
"Nonsense comedy movies are doomed to fail. Xu Ye probably considered this reason for using folk stories as the basis, but movies are not that simple."
"The movie that Wu Yongxia won the Best Actress Award for was not a costume movie, so even Wu Yongxia's strengths can't be brought into play."
Some professionals in the entertainment industry are not optimistic about the box office that this movie can achieve in the end.
This doesn't look good at first glance.
Nonsense comedy plus movie, and it's a costume drama.
In fact, if Xu Ye wants to make a traditional comedy movie, everyone thinks the final box office should be okay.
After all, Xu Ye has made "Wulin Wai Zhuan". If you use the name "Wulin Wai Zhuan" to make a movie, there will definitely be audiences to support it.
But it's too risky to make a nonsense movie. There are no successful cases in the market.
How to shoot this kind of movie, how to perform, and how to edit in the later stage are all blank for everyone.
At this time, everyone thought of one thing.
"Xu Ye filmed Wan Wan Wo Wo, isn't it just to practice?"
Moreover, according to the relevant information circulating on the Internet, the preparations for "Flirting Scholar" should have started very early, and it was definitely not a sudden idea.
But even so, everyone still doesn't think highly of Xu Ye.
Movies and TV series are completely different from online dramas.
On Weibo, Doushou and Xiaolan Station, Xu Ye's interview video was on the hot search.
Some marketing accounts also took advantage of the popularity, such as telling everyone what the folk story of Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang is about.
Tang Bohu, a mysterious figure in history, has also been understood by more and more people.
Tang Bohu, a romantic and talented man!
Ordinary netizens don't care how you shoot this movie, and everyone just watches it for fun.
"Is the dean playing Tang Bohu or Qiuxiang?"
"So is Teacher Wu Yongxia playing Qiuxiang? Sorry, I can't support this younger couple."
"The above, your thoughts are very dangerous. Teacher Wu Yongxia is old enough to be Xu Ye's mother. Don't support everything."
"If you look at it this way, Teacher Wu Yongxia is not the leading actress."
Netizens were shocked.
Wu Yongxia just won the Best Actress Award, but she is not the leading actress in Xu Ye's movie. How can you tolerate this?
Even if you find a good actress to play Qiuxiang, it won't be convincing.
Xu Ye's black fans also discovered this and started to spray online.
Xu Ye doesn't care about what these people say.
Since you are a public figure, don't be afraid of being scolded by others.
No one can make everyone like you.
As a person who came from the earth, he knows the importance of popularity, and good wine needs to be hidden in the alley.
The popularity has already risen.
He succeeded in using his own popularity.
Xu Ye also received many calls from friends asking him about his situation.
Everyone was also confused.
You make a movie, but you really invited a queen actress. Wu Yongxia plays a supporting role for you, which is understandable.
On the one hand, Xu Ye's acting skills are not bad, and on the other hand, Xu Ye is popular.
Even if Wu Yongxia won the queen actress, she is not as popular as Xu Ye.
It's a bit too much to let Wu Yongxia play the second female lead, right?
Who can you let play the first female lead to convince everyone?
She has played the first female lead, and Qiuxiang, she must be a young actress. There are no actresses under the age of 30 who act better than Wu Yongxia.
Zhou Guohai, a famous director in the director circle, also patiently explained these principles to Xu Ye.
Zhou Guohai had collaborated with Xu Ye on two evening parties before and wanted to help Xu Ye.
Xu Ye is now directing his own movies, so he doesn't need his support, but he still helps where he can.
"So Xu Ye, it's really inappropriate for you to do this." Zhou Guohai said earnestly.
At this time, Xu Ye's voice came from the phone.
"Is it possible that Qiuxiang is not the leading actress."
Zhou Guohai subconsciously said: "You said Qiuxiang is not the leading actress, then it's okay."
As soon as Zhou Guohai finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
"Hey? Isn't the name of your movie called Tang Bohu Points to Qiuxiang? You said Qiuxiang is not the leading actress?"
"You didn't say that the person in the movie name is the leading actress?" Xu Ye said.
"Ah?"
Zhou Guohai was really stunned this time.
What kind of brain circuit is this.
You are really good at playing like this.
You are crazy!
It's already Tang Bohu Points to Qiuxiang, and you said Qiuxiang is not the leading actress.
"You play, who can play better than you." Zhou Guohai hung up the phone after saying that.
In fact, in the movie "Flirting Scholar", if you say that Qiuxiang is the leading actress, she is indeed the leading actress.
But do you want to say that Qiuxiang's role and importance are the leading actress?
On the contrary, it is not.
In this movie, the role of Mrs. Hua is the leading actress. In addition, Sister Pomegranate also left a deep impression on the audience. On the contrary, Qiuxiang did not have any highlights from beginning to end.
Otherwise, Xu Ye asked Xiao Xu to play Qiuxiang. This role is suitable for Xiao Xu at this stage.
Xiao Xu can't handle some roles that require acting skills.
After all, Xiao Xu is not a jerk, she has tried her best.
Time passed quickly for more than a week, and the preparations for "Flirting Scholar" were also completed.
The makeup photos of all the main actors were also taken.
Since Xu Ye participated in the whole process, it was relatively time-consuming, but fortunately the whole process was quite smooth.
As for the day of filming, Xu Ye actually didn't care, but the crew members were still a little particular about choosing an auspicious day, so Xu Ye followed everyone else's decision.
When the final makeup photos were taken, the official Weibo of Flirting Scholar also started to promote it.
In fact, the promotion of a live-action movie officially started after the project was approved.
Times have changed, and publicity is too important for a movie.
The first Weibo post released by the official Weibo of Flirting Scholar was Xu Ye's final makeup photo.
Xu Ye wore a hat on his head, a luxurious brocade dress, and a folding fan in his hand, on which were written two big characters "Tang Yin".
Xu Ye rarely appeared in ancient costumes, and this final makeup photo immediately attracted a group of people's attention.
"You know what, he's pretty handsome."
"Why is there always a sense of humor in the Dean's handsomeness? He's not the kind of simple handsomeness. It seems that there is a little stupidity in his handsomeness."
"Finally, there are handsome men in ancient costumes in the entertainment industry. Wouldn't the Dean consider filming a TV series in ancient costumes?"
How long is the movie? You have to look at the length of the TV series.
There are too many ugly men in ancient costumes in the entertainment industry today. In addition to the fans' praise, passers-by are really embarrassed to see them.
Some dramas have good playback volume, not really because the male lead is handsome, but because everyone has nothing to watch, so they can only bear it and watch this drama.
Afterwards, the official Weibo released the second photo of Wu Yongxia's makeup.
Wu Yongxia's ancient costume looks heroic, like the eldest lady of a wealthy family, and also attracted a large number of audiences.
The third one released was Qiuxiang's makeup photo.
Qiuxiang is played by Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu's ancient costume style was directly on the hot search.
In the makeup photos, Xiao Xu looks gentle and dignified. In fact, she is the maid of Mrs. Hua, but she looks like a lady from a noble family. Her temperament has surpassed many actors.
However, when these were released, Xu Ye's haters immediately started to criticize.
"Sure enough, my girlfriend is different. She directly plays the leading female role."
"It's okay for the queen to play a supporting role for Xu Ye, but she also plays a supporting role for Xu Nanjia. This is the current situation in the entertainment industry!"
"Teacher Wu Yongxia is so pitiful. The entertainment industry is really dominated by capital. The queen can't play the leading female role, and has to play a foil for a non-professional actor."
But soon, the official Weibo of "Flirting Scholar" announced the list of leading actors.
In the female leading role section, Wu Yongxia's name was written.
Netizens were stunned.
"What's going on? Didn't Tang Bohu choose Qiuxiang? Why is Mrs. Hua the female lead?"
"Isn't this plot a bit too outrageous?"
"Something's wrong. There's nothing perverted about it, right?"
The haters were also confused for a while.
This is the official list of the main actors. There's no mistake. There's no such thing as a female lead but I have to write you as the female lead.
This kind of deception is easy to be exposed. There's no need for it.
So, in this movie, Mrs. Hua's role is indeed more important than Qiuxiang's.
Mrs. Hua is really the female lead.
Even the haters had a series of question marks on their heads.
Xu Ye didn't intend to explain the netizens' doubts.
Want to know the answer?
Then go to the cinema.
He urgently needed to explain something to Xiao Xu.
In the hotel room, Xiao Xu stared at Xu Ye with a pair of big eyes.
She thought her expression was very intimidating, but in fact it was not, and it made Xu Ye more excited.
Xiao Xu said slowly: "Didn't you say I was the heroine? I'll give you a minute to explain."
Xu Ye's expression was very calm.
An excellent man will never let himself face unexpected situations, and everything is under control.
Xu Ye drank a sip of water and said lightly: "Then let me ask you, why do you want to be the heroine?"
Xiao Xu's eyes showed a puzzled look, and replied: "I don't want to be the heroine, didn't you say that I should be the heroine?"
Xiao Xu still knew her strength.
"But this is the promise you made to me, and you didn't do it." Xiao Xu continued.
Xu Ye held Xiao Xu's hand and said earnestly: "Then why did I say that, is it because I like you?"
Xiao Xu nodded.
Xu Ye continued: "If you like someone, you should always think about this person and don't want to see this person being wronged. Do you think if I let you be the heroine, will you be scolded?"
Xiao Xu nodded again.
"If you were scolded, I would feel so bad. Do you want to see me feel bad?" Xu Ye asked.
Xiao Xu shook his head again.
"You don't want to see me feel bad, and I don't want to see you being scolded, so I didn't let you be the heroine. Doesn't this just show that I love you?"
Xiao Xu's mind was already confused at this time.
She felt that what Xu Ye said made sense.
Seeing Xiao Xu nod again, Xu Ye said: "So, I didn't fulfill my promise to you, which just shows that I love you. You forced me to fulfill my promise, which is to force me not to love you. OK, I only think of you in my heart, but you want to force me not to love you."
Xiao Xu suddenly became nervous.
"I didn't force you, I didn't do anything."
Xu Ye sighed: "That's it, I'm tired."
