Chapter 351 Another Internet Celebrity?
"It's worse than I can imagine."
After a pause, Chen Le continued:
"However, this movie has a large investment and the special effects are pretty good. As long as the plot is passable, the box office should not be too bad."
At this point, Chen Le added with a serious expression:
"Moreover, the cast of this movie is quite impressive."
"Yeah……"
As Su Xi spoke, she glanced at the cast list in the promotional video.
She hadn't noticed it before, but Chen Le's reminder brought her to the attention of this truly stellar cast list.
If the actors listed are real, then it's equivalent to inviting almost half of the entertainment industry's stars!
It's worth noting that some of these are veteran actors who have already retired from acting!
This is truly terrifying!
No wonder Chen Le cares so much.
"Zhenghe Films is now backed by Xiang Tianqiang."
Chen Le explained to Su Xi.
"Xiang Tianqiang is a well-known wealthy businessman in Hong Kong with extensive connections. It would not be surprising if he could get the entire film and television industry involved."
At this point, Chen Le's gaze turned serious again.
It seems that Zheng Tianming's film will likely be his biggest competitor.
However, judging solely from this promotional video, Chen Le felt that its cinematography was even inferior to the videos made by the college students he had just watched.
Although the special effects were top-notch, the overall impression Chen Le got from the scene was just one thing.
chaos!
However, since it's not finished yet, even the actors' makeup hasn't been released.
Maybe the final product will be different. Chen Le knew he couldn't let his guard down, after all, the announced cast was just too amazing!
"Are you stressed?"
Su Xi smiled and gently took Chen Le's hand.
"That's not the case."
Chen Le shook his head and couldn't help but give a wry smile.
It's too early to talk about pressure now. After all, the film isn't finished yet, and it's too early to judge its quality.
Chen Le snapped out of his daze, took Su Xi's hand, and walked towards the exit of the movie theater.
"Nothing, let's go."
The two walked outside while discussing Zheng Tianming's movie.
Unbeknownst to the two, countless eyes were already watching them as soon as they left the theater.
In the live broadcast room.
A pretty girl was holding her phone, pointing it at Chen Le and Su Xi's backs.
"You guys think that was Director Chen Le just now?"
At this moment, countless comments flooded the live stream.
"Holy crap, that silhouette, that aura—it's definitely Director Chen Le!"
"Holy crap, it really is Director Chen Le! I'm following this live stream!"
"Xiaomi, Xiaomi, hurry up and ask for an autograph!"
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaomi looked at the barrage of comments popping up in the live stream and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She watched Chen Le's departing figure, then took out her phone, opened her photo library, and looked at Chen Le's pictures.
Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaomi was stunned.
The person in the photo looks at least 90% like the man from earlier!
"It really seems... to be Director Chen Le!"
Bai Xiaomi said excitedly.
It's worth noting that a streamer named Fu Shou'er previously saw his popularity surge dozens of times and gained thousands of followers simply because Chen Le appeared in his stream.
Although he was banned from the entire internet for his reckless behavior.
However, it is undeniable that Chen Le is incredibly popular!
Moreover, Chen Le is currently the most sought-after director in China.
Although he doesn't have many films, they are both box office and critical successes. Countless stars want to work with him, but they can't get the chance.
Even she herself became an actress in Chen Le's film because of the troubles she faced in the summer.
I never expected to see Chen Le in person today!
If only I could get Chen Le's autograph today...
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaomi could no longer contain her excitement and even forgot that she was still live streaming. She grabbed her phone and chased after Chen Le.
At this moment, Chen Le and Su Xi had already left the movie theater.
The two discussed Zheng Tianming's movie as they walked toward the parking lot.
Just then, Bai Xiaomi chased after them and, seeing Chen Le, said excitedly:
"Director Chen Le, hello, I'm a fan of yours, could you please sign my autograph?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Le turned around and was somewhat surprised to see the girl's appearance.
It wasn't for any other reason than that the girl's clothes were a bit strange; they seemed to be those of some anime character.
It looks like she's a cosplayer.
However, Chen Le quickly noticed the phone in the other person's hand.
Another internet celebrity?
Thinking of that beast-eared creature from last time, Chen Le couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance.
Because of the beast-eared creature's attempt to stalk him last time, and its subsequent shameless blackmail of Lin Qingluo, Chen Le had no good feelings towards the online celebrity industry.
Furthermore, since Su Xi didn't want to appear in the public eye, Chen Le simply refused:
"Excuse me, please do not film us."
As he spoke, Chen Le blocked Bai Xiaomi's phone camera with his hand.
Bai Xiaomi was somewhat stunned by Chen Le's action.
However, she quickly realized that she was still live-streaming, and her actions had been seen by the viewers in the live stream. No wonder Chen Le reacted this way.
Bai Xiaomi smiled awkwardly, then apologized repeatedly.
"Excuse me, Director Chen Le, please wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Bai Xiaomi walked to the side and spoke into her phone.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry, I met my idol. I'll stop broadcasting here for today and will broadcast again next time."
After saying that, the girl closed the live stream.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned by what they saw.
Lines of text floated across the screen.
"What? The streamer went to chase after his idol?"
"Holy crap, is Xiaomi really this reckless?"
"I was waiting to see Chen Le, why did the streamer end the broadcast?"
"Host, please remember to ask around for us if those negative rumors circulating online are true!"
"That goes without saying, it's definitely fake, just a publicity stunt by that mother and child."
"I don't think so. Chen Le hasn't responded for so long. What else could it be but fear?"
……
For a moment, the chat in the live stream was filled with heated arguments.
However, Bai Xiaomi couldn't care less about any of that.
She put away her phone and quickly caught up with Chen Le.
"I'm sorry, Professor Chen. I got a little excited just now and didn't consider your feelings. I'm really sorry. I've already turned off the live stream. Could you please spare a few minutes of your time?"
Putting everything else aside, her completely different attitude from last time made Chen Le's opinion of her much better.
Furthermore, since the other party had indeed put the phone away, Chen Le glanced at Su Xi and softened his attitude somewhat.
"It's nothing, is there anything I can help you with?"
