The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 670 Collapse

Chengdu, Wanda Shopping Center.

Zhao Siyu and her friends walked out of the cinema, still unsatisfied.

She is 17 years old this year and has been following Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi for four or five years. She is also one of the early founders of the Shiheyuanfang Forum.

But after entering high school, the study tasks became increasingly heavy, and there were some changes at home at the beginning of the year. Now I rarely post in the forum.

After this summer vacation, she will be in her third year of high school. In the morning, she was asked by her classmates to go out to watch a movie together. They watched "Chinese Partners".

The three of them were chatting and laughing. They had been classmates since junior high school, and were also close friends. They were all die-hard fans of Lu Yuan.

One of the girls, who had a men's haircut, put her hands in her pockets and asked coolly, "Siyu, which school are you going to apply to next year?"

"Need I ask? It must be Beijing Film Academy. Siyu said several years ago that she wanted to go there to be the idol's junior sister. It's just that I don't look attractive, otherwise I would have gone there too."

Another slightly plump girl interrupted and added with a silly look on her face.

"He is worthy of being my idol. He can act in any role. Cheng Dongqing is so charming when he stands on the podium. It breaks my heart when he cries. And that Su Mei is such a piece of shit. She is so blind to give up on such a man."

The story of Su Mei cheating on Cheng Dongqing has caused quite a stir online.

In addition, Su Mei was so cold in the early days, like a proud swan, looking down on everyone. But after going abroad, she became a completely different person. She put down her attitude, chose foreigners, and kissed them shamelessly by the lake.

Some young fans couldn't accept this and went to Du Juan's Weibo to question her.

To this end, Du Juan not only answered questions many times during interviews with reporters, but also posted a special article.

She said that if she met such a good man in real life, she would not give up, and if she had to blame someone, she should blame the director for forcing her to act like this.

Netizens went to Chen Kexin’s comment section to curse him before he gave up.

The girl with the men's hairstyle said, "Cheng Dongqing is good, but I am more looking forward to the start of "My Love from the Star". Professor Chen in the behind-the-scenes footage is so handsome."

"This is Lu Yuan's first time to star in a modern idol drama. You don't know this. I forwarded the clip that PPS posted on Weibo to my mom. My mom was even more excited than I was. She kept asking me when the show would be aired. My dad was jealous."

"By the way, Siyu, you haven't answered me yet. I plan to take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy. Let's go together next year."

Zhao Siyu pursed her lips, thinking of something, and tilted her head slightly upward, looking at the sky: "Then I wish you to become a big star soon and act with Lu Yuan. I won't go. I plan to go to work directly after the college entrance examination."

"Ah, why?" The girl with a men's haircut asked in confusion, "That's not what you said before."

"The past is the past. People change."

Zhao Siyu forced a smile and said, "Being an actor doesn't make money. Didn't Lu Yuan say in an interview before that most actors are worse off than ordinary people. They make only 700 to 800 yuan a month, and it's hard to support themselves. I'm average looking, and I don't have any talent for acting. My family has no connections in the entertainment industry, so I can't make it."

"Oh, you're not ordinary at all, you're a total sweet girl. Several boys in the class have a crush on you. Besides, we're still young. Why should we be so obsessed with making money? Just have fun for two years first," said the girl with a men's haircut, when suddenly her sleeve was pulled by the chubby girl.

Zhao Siyu didn't explain. She looked at her watch and saw it was eleven o'clock in the morning. She said to her two friends, "It's getting late. I should go back. You guys continue playing."

"Hey, let's have dinner together. I'll treat you today. I asked my brother for two hundred yuan." The chubby girl raised two fingers.

"No, you guys go eat, I have something to do at home."

"Well, be safe on the road."

"Ah."

After Zhao Siyu walked away, the girl with the men's hairstyle looked at her from behind, wondering, "Something's wrong, something's wrong, there's always something wrong, what's wrong with Siyu, I feel like she's become a little weird since the Chinese New Year and school started again."

"She used to laugh at the smallest things, and she would always ask us to hang out during holidays. Now she always looks like she has a lot on her mind. When we ask her to come out, she only comes out once out of seven or eight times. If we ask her to eat, she'll say something's wrong at home."

"And you, why did you pull my clothes just now?"

The slightly plump girl hesitated for a moment and replied: "I told you not to go out and talk nonsense."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"you promise?"

"I promise!!"

"Okay, I haven't told you yet. My dad was transferred to work in the hospital here last month. When I went to bring him midnight snacks a few nights ago, I saw Siyu and her mother in the corridor. Siyu was crying at the time."

"and then?"

"My dad asked his colleagues and found out that Siyu's dad was ill. It was diagnosed at the beginning of the year and the surgery cost more than three million yuan."

"How much, three million?" The girl with the men's hairstyle was stunned.

The economic situations of the families of these friends are actually similar. The gap between them is too big to make them play together. Their parents only earn about 300,000 yuan a year.

The chubby girl nodded and sighed: "Siyu's family is very short of money right now, so she refused to eat with us and didn't want to participate in any activities. If I hadn't lied to her that she got a free ticket from the fan group, she probably wouldn't have come out this time."

“You didn’t get a ticket?”

"No, the guys in the group were too fast, I couldn't get it at all. I even suspected they were cheating."

The girl with the men's hairstyle said, "Then let's split the bill this time. I'll pay for Siyu's half, and we can cheat her like this in the future."

"Hehe, okay, I've been waiting for you to say that."

"I just don't know how Siyu's father is doing."

"Since Siyu doesn't want to talk about it, then let's not ask. Asking won't help. Neither of us can come up with three million. It will only make things worse."

Zhao Siyu took the bus and returned to the community with a heavy heart.

After she went upstairs, she stood at the door, put two fingers to the corners of her mouth, gently pushed them upwards, showing a stiff smile, took out the key and turned the door.

"Dad, I'm back."

Mr. Zhao was leaning against the sofa with a pale face, holding his mobile phone, looking at something. When he heard the noise, he looked up and asked his daughter with a smile.

"I'm back. How was the movie?"

"It's good." Zhao Siyu pretended to be happy and answered: "The theater is full, and there are not many people watching the other movies."

Father Zhao laughed along and gave affirmation: "I've told you long ago that any movie starring Lu Yuan will be good, whether it's on the big screen or the small screen."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Nothing." He paused, then continued, "I just saw PPS posted new footage of My Love from the Star on Weibo. Do you want to take a look?"

"No, I'm not a child anymore. Idol dramas are too fake and deceptive. There's no point in watching them." Zhao Siyu shook her head.

Because of my father's illness, the family has borrowed a lot of debt, and there is still a gap of nearly two million. Borrowing money is the easiest way to see the fickleness of human nature.

She is no longer the innocent and naive little girl, so how can she have the heart to follow TV dramas?

So what if she is her favorite star, family always comes first.

Mr. Zhao knew what his daughter was thinking, but seeing that she was worried, uncomfortable and guilty every day, he stuffed the phone in her hand.

"You will always be a child to me. Come and see."

Zhao Siyu said no, but still glanced at him subconsciously and couldn't move her eyes away.

This is an ancient street.

Lu Yuan was wearing a grand Ming Dynasty Taoist robe with an emerald jade pendant hanging from his waist, and next to him was Liu Shishi, who was wearing a red stand-up collared gown and ancient costume. The two walked on the street one after the other, and the hawking sounds on the street were endless.

Lu Yuan looked around, his mind focused on the dazzling array of small items, while Liu Shishi bent over in front of the stall to select jewelry, glancing at Lu Yuan shyly from time to time. The love she couldn't hide was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and subtle.

When Lu Yuan's gaze turned over, she immediately dodged away like a startled bird.

She portrayed the shyness and reserve of a young girl in love vividly, as if she was a character walking out of an ancient painting.

The comment section below exploded. Ever since the news about "My Love from the Star" came out last year, countless people have been waiting for the show to be aired.

"Oh my god, it's Liu Shishi. Poetry and distance are reunited. Am I dreaming? I didn't hear she was in the show. The official gave a surprise without any announcement. @《My Love from the Star》, come out and give me some silence."

"Shi Shi is really suitable for ancient costumes. She is the chosen ancient person. Ah, @My Love from the Star @PPS @Hunan TV, please start airing soon. I can't wait."

"Lu Yuan's Taoist robe reminded me of Xu Changqing in The Chinese Paladin III. However, the setting, the street, the lighting, and the texture of the picture made me feel like I was watching a movie. It looked much more elaborate than The Chinese Paladin III."

"Needless to say, didn't the crew say before that the cost of shooting this drama is as high as 8000 million? Lu Yuan chose to use his salary as a share. Putting aside other things, the crew actually used at least 6500 million for shooting. Although it is an idol drama, it is comparable to serious dramas. The director of the costume drama is Zhang Li. Have you seen "The Ming Dynasty 1566"? It's the ceiling of costume dramas. Lu Yuan doesn't act in idol dramas, but his performance is at the top level in the industry!"

"Stop talking, I can't wait, play it now!"

"Play now!!"

"Don't force me to kneel down, start broadcasting right now @PPS!!"

"This is Lu Yuan's second time acting in a period costume," Zhao's father said with emotion.

"More than that." Zhao Siyu blurted out, listing them all: "Excluding the guest appearances of extras in the early years, strictly speaking, this is the seventh time, in "Gou Jian, King of Yue", "The Ming Dynasty", "Young Generals of the Yang Family", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Chinese Paladin III", and "Startling by Each Step". "

Mr. Zhao stared at her with a smile. Zhao Siyu felt embarrassed. When she was about to say something, a message was updated on Weibo.

This was a Weibo post forwarded by Lu Yuan.

She was very surprised. Unlike Liu Shishi who posted daily, Lu Yuan’s Weibo was rarely active.

Either promoting new dramas or paying attention to public welfare, many cases of child trafficking were also released during this period.

Out of curiosity, she clicked it unconsciously.

It turned out that he was reposting a PPS Weibo post.

Original text from PPS: To celebrate the exclusive broadcast of "My Love from the Star" on PPS on August 8, PPS will give back to the majority of users and specially create welfare activities.

First, it spent 3544 million yuan to buy all the combinations of the Double Color Ball lottery on August 8, Army Day, and will distribute it to PPS users for free.

There will be 110 million winners, with the first prize generally being 500 million and the highest possible being 1500 million.

Second, PPS will provide 2 of the latest vivo mobile phones and give them to users for free on the day of the broadcast.

The specific method of collecting the lottery tickets and the lottery rules for 2 vivo mobile phones will be announced on the evening of July 7.

After the Double Color Ball lottery draw on the evening of August 8, member users can check whether they have won the prize in the PPS on their mobile phones.

If you win, the small prize money will be directly paid into the payment account bound to the user, and the vivo mobile phone will be delivered to the address submitted by the user.

If the winner is a large prize, please come to the PPS headquarters in Shanghai (the expenses will be reimbursed by us), and Mr. Lu Yuan will present the prize to the winner in person.

Key point: The only requirement for receiving the bonus is that you must be a paid PPS member.

"."

"boom!"

When Zhao Siyu saw the news, her mind was instantly stunned.

First of all, I doubt the authenticity of this news.

But when I think about Lu Yuan’s reputation, since he dares to forward it and give the award, it means there is no problem with reliability.

Her eyes stopped at the line where the threshold was, and she had to be a PPS paid member
"Paid membership!" She recalled what happened in January this year.

Her father was not sick at that time. After learning that "My Love from the Star" would be exclusively broadcast on PPS, she spent 240 yuan to buy a one-year PPS membership to support her idol Lu Yuan.

The first prize this time is 500 million, and the highest prize could be 1500 million.

If she could win the prize, then there would be hope for Dad's illness to be cured. The house wouldn't have to be mortgaged, Mom wouldn't have to work hard from dawn to dusk, and the family could return to their previous life.

But will I be so lucky? After all, the whole network is waiting for the broadcast of "My Love from the Star". How many paying users of PPS will there be by then?
Father Zhao was a little puzzled when he saw his daughter's expression changing, sometimes happy, sometimes sad.

"what happened?"

As he said this, he was about to get his cell phone.

Zhao Siyu pulled her hand back: "Dad, I need to use my phone for a while."

"Okay, you can use it."

Zhao Siyu returned to the room and first looked up what the Double Color Ball was, which is actually a lottery.

Normally, the lottery numbers purchased by people across the country are distributed in disorder, and some numbers may not be purchased by anyone, so there is a certain probability that the first prize will not be won in each issue of the Double Color Ball.

PPS spent a total of 3544 million yuan to buy these lottery combinations, at two yuan per ticket, for a total of 17721088 tickets.

PPS bought all possible winning numbers and sent out nearly 1800 million lottery tickets.

In other words, after the half-double-color ball lottery on August 8, there will definitely be a lucky PPS paying member who will win the jackpot.

After a brief understanding, Zhao Siyu inevitably became excited.

When I opened the Weibo again, I found that in just a few minutes, the Weibo post had been forwarded more than 3 times.

She continued to browse the comments under Lu Yuan’s reposted Weibo.

The top comment is: "Is this true? Can I really win the award?"

Lu Yuan specifically replied: "Of course it's true. As the spokesperson for vivo, I called Mr. Shen and he showed me the contract. I'll post the contract here. PPS has paid for 8 vivo phones and they can be delivered at any time. As for the double-color ball, it's also true. The lottery will be drawn on August 1st, and there will definitely be a first prize in that period, starting at 500 million."

The following comments from netizens are fascinating.

"PPS is awesome. If it doesn't make a splash, it will be a big hit. This is a high-end and classy move. I won't say much. I'm going to download the client. What if I win the jackpot by accident? Hehe..."

"This marketing is really crazy. 3600 million yuan is spent on lottery tickets. I have to say, this operation is really eye-catching. Even I, who hardly buy lottery tickets, was attracted to download PPS and register as a member."

"This is definitely a miracle in the history of marketing. Not only because he spent so much money, but also because he attracted so many people's attention in this way. I think this is not only to promote PPS, but also a bold exploration of human nature."

"Lu Yuan, have you been cheated? I have bought lottery tickets for more than ten years. The lottery company will not agree. The cost of cutting leeks is hundreds of thousands each time, but now it has directly increased to millions. If it were you, would you do it or not?"

"The above poster is a typical smart aleck. Since PPS dares to say this, it must have negotiated in advance. Such a big company would not be reluctant to spend such a small amount of money. Didn't you see that they also prepared 2 vivo mobile phones? 2 mobile phones are worth at least 5000 million."

The Internet is boiling with excitement. Everywhere you look, you can see topics related to PPS, "My Love from the Star", Double Color Ball, and vivo phones.

#PPS spends 3600 million to give away double-color balls#
#PPS is giving away 2 mobile phones to celebrate the launch of "My Love from the Star"#
#PPS has all the double-color ball numbers on August 8st, with a first prize of 1 million#
Zhao Siyu knew that the probability of winning was very low, but she still couldn't help fantasizing about winning the prize. At her age, apart from relying on luck, how else could she raise millions to treat her father's illness?

It took her a long while to calm down and open the PPS mobile version.

The software crashed!
