Chapter 66 TikTok hot search, officially aired (Ch 66)

At about 3:00 in the morning, the plane landed at Shanghai Airport.

Although it was late, fortunately Shanghai is an international metropolis.

The two of them didn’t have to worry about not being able to get a taxi.

While waiting for the bus, Chen Yuwen browsed Douyin, but after only a few times,

I saw the video of Qi Jia helping everyone defend their rights at the airport.

The video was posted at around 11 o’clock, and now it has received more than 100,000 likes and thousands of comments.

“This knowledge is too broad.”

“The logic is clear and well-reasoned.”

“I saved it. Next time I encounter this kind of situation, I will show this video to the airline staff without even having to ask them a word.”

“You’re right. Swearing and fighting are the stupidest choices.”

“Oh my god, who knows, girls, he is so handsome when he speaks.”

“With this logic, this appearance, and these long legs, could he be the young master of some family?”

“Love brain fork out!”

…

“Look, you’ve become popular on the Internet, and everyone is praising you.”

Chen Yuwen handed the phone to Qi Jia and asked curiously.

“But how do you know those laws and regulations?”

Qi Jia took a look and was a little shocked.

When he heard Chen Yuwen ask him this, he answered casually.

“It’s all on TikTok, just watch it more and you’ll learn it.”

Okay, you are right. Chen Yuwen thought about it and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

“Perhaps, we can use this incident to hype it up.”

“Sister, do you want to hype up this movie together?”

Hearing this, Qi Jia was also very interested, put down his phone and asked.

“Well, I have such an idea, but I still need to think about how to do it specifically.” Chen Yuwen nodded and said.

Soon, the online taxi arrived.

Qi Jia first sent Chen Yuwen home, and then returned to his own apartment.

I took a quick shower and fell asleep.

I slept until about eleven in the morning.

He first checked his phone. An hour ago, Chen Yuwen sent him a WeChat message.

Ask him to get up and go back to the company to prepare promotional materials.

After Qi Jia replied with an OK, he got up, washed up, went downstairs and took a taxi to the company.

At the same time, in a meeting room in Shanghai City,

Several people were meeting to discuss the filming of a youth campus inspirational drama.

“Director Han, how is the preparation for the filming going? Have you encountered any difficulties?”

Hearing the question, a thin middle-aged man named Han Yang stood up and answered seriously.

“At present, the preparations are basically complete, but the leading actors have not yet been decided. There are not many actors who meet the above image requirements, and some of them do not have good acting skills. We are still stepping up the screening process.”

Han Yang answered very cautiously, because the investor of this TV series is a subsidiary of Shanghai Media Group, which has a very powerful background.

“We still have to hurry up and consider selecting from young actors instead of limiting ourselves to first- and second-tier actors.”

After hearing this, the leader pondered for a moment and said.

“Okay leader, I understand.”

After the meeting, Han Yang walked out of the meeting room with a sad face.

When I passed the front desk, I saw some girls gathered together looking at their phones and kept sighing.

“This little brother is so eloquent.”

“Could he be a law student? He spoke with reason and evidence, leaving the airline staff speechless with anything to refute.”

The discussion caught Han Yang’s attention, because he was going to shoot a TV series about debate.

So, he curiously moved closer and looked inside.

I saw on my phone a handsome young man standing in front of the crowd.

In the face of the airline management’s sophistry, a textbook-level reasonable rights protection debate was conducted.

His eloquent citations and confident and powerful tone left the airline management speechless and won applause from those around him.

Han Yang was so excited by what he saw that he couldn’t help but imagine himself as that young man, enjoying the admiration and attention of everyone.

When he realized what was happening, his eyes lit up. Wasn’t this the male protagonist he had been looking for?

But then, his excitement quickly disappeared, because he had no impression of the young man at all.

He probably isn’t from the entertainment industry. Although his image fits the bill, it’s a pity.

However, he still kept an eye on it. He found the original video on TikTok and sent it to his assistant to look for it and see if he could find a way to contact the young man.

Let me talk about two things.

As for Qi Jia, after a period of promotion, “Nobody” has gradually gained some popularity on the Internet.

However, facing the pressure of several blockbuster films such as “Operation Red Sea”, “Detective Chinatown 2” and “Monster Hunt 2” during the same period,

The screening rate and popularity of “Nobody” are pitifully low.

The poor publicity and promotion caused the originally planned roadshow to be temporarily shelved.

It would be so embarrassing if I went to the cinema and found only a few kittens.

In the last few days before the release,

There have been some rumors starting to circulate within the company, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Yuwen and Qi Jia are most likely going to fail this time.

The two were helpless about this. There was nothing they could do because the Spring Festival movie season was too strong.

Faced with this situation, Director Rao made a special phone call to apologize to the two.

He originally wanted to avoid the Spring Festival period, but he couldn’t convince the investors and had to release it early.

February 15th, New Year’s Eve,

Before leaving the company, Chen Yuwen specifically told Qi Jia,

“It’s going to be released tomorrow. Keep your phone connected for the next few days. Stay in Shanghai and don’t go crazy. Be ready to cooperate with the promotion at any time.”

“I understand, sister. Thank you for your hard work.”

Qi Jia nodded and took a taxi back to his apartment.

After calling my family to let them know I was safe and sending New Year greetings to Zhang Ruonan, Xu Zheng and others,

Qi Jia went to bed early before the clock struck twelve in the morning.

The Bund was bustling with fireworks, but his small apartment was quiet.

It was the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year when “Nobody” was officially released.

After getting up, Qi Jia planned to go to the cinema to see how the attendance rate of his first screen show was.

But I thought it was too early now. Most people had been making a fuss all night.

After getting up, I have to burn incense and go to the flower street with my family. Most people go to the movies at night.

So, after simply solving the problem of food and clothing, he curled up in bed, covered with a quilt, and continued to read the script of “Better Days”.

This movie, in which he played the leading role for the first time, was so important to his career that he would not allow himself to make any mistakes.

8pm,

Qi Jia put on a hat and a mask and came to the most prosperous commercial plaza near the Bund.

Walk into a movie theater, pick up your ticket and go into the screening room.

Perhaps the decision to release “Nobody” during the Spring Festival was really inappropriate.

Competing with so many big-budget commercial films and with poor publicity, only a few viewers chose to enter the screening room of “Nobody”.

It was not until the movie started that Qi Jia looked around and found that most of the seats were still empty, and the occupancy rate was estimated to be less than 30%.

This result is not too bad, but when I think about the fact that Chen Yuwen applied for a million yuan in publicity fees for herself,

His heart sank and he felt a little distracted.

However, he was somewhat relieved that after the main film started, with the continuous appearance of dense laughs,

Audiences who had originally chosen to kill time watching “Nobody” because they couldn’t buy popular blockbusters were gradually attracted to the movie, put down their phones, and started watching it seriously.

Hearty laughter continued to ring out in the screening room.

When seeing the clip of Qi Jia applying medicine to Zhang Yu, many people laughed so hard that they fell to the ground.

More people held their stomachs and bent over with laughter.

“I’m afraid it’s a bit painful ~ Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, how can there be such a stupid thief.”

Seeing the audience’s reaction, Qi Jia felt much better.

Although the attendance rate was poor on the first day, as of now, at least the word of mouth should be good.

Soon, another famous scene appeared.

“Hahahaha, grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!”

“I’m impressed. Ten thousand dollars for a lollipop. This guy is amazing!”

“As expected of a silly bandit, he has great ideals. After dividing the loot, he first thought about buying a lollipop for the goddess.”

…

The hearty laughter attracted the attention of passers-by outside. Everyone was very curious.

What kind of movie is playing in this screening room? Why is it so funny?

“It should be Detective Chinatown 2, right?”

Some people speculate that because the first Detective Chinatown movie was very funny, the second one should be the same.

The movie entered its final stage, the two brothers broke up on the rooftop, when Qi Jia said that sentence,

“This is love!”

Zhang Yu replied: “I love you Mahuaqing!”

Everyone burst into laughter again, but after that, there was a long silence.

Because, what follows is all tragedy and stabbing.

When the movie was over, no one in the audience was willing to leave, as they were all looking forward to seeing if there would be any Easter eggs.

It was not until the credits were over that everyone left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Judging from their satisfied expressions, they should give a good review to “Nobody”.

Qi Jia walked out of the cinema and breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn’t help but feel a little more excited about the first day’s box office.
