Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

The premiere of "You Are the Apple of My Eye"!

Liu Yifei was putting on a great show up there—yes, she was just putting on a show, but it was all for the sake of being safe!

The reporters and guests in the audience nodded in agreement, regardless of the quality of the film.

Liu Yifei's new song "What I'm Expecting Isn't Snow" alone made their trip worthwhile.

Especially considering the interaction between Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei on stage before, this is like adding fuel to the fire. How could they, who make a living in the entertainment industry, not be overjoyed?

Liu Yifei's fans who came to the scene were extremely happy, and they all felt that the song was so sweet and would definitely become Liu Yifei's signature song.

Okay, Liu Yifei has also released albums, but unfortunately, they didn't make much of a splash.

In 2005, Zhang Hanyun's song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" became an instant hit, making Mengniu Yogurt Drink a bestseller.

Yili Yogurt invited Liu Yifei to promote "Just My Taste," hoping to replicate the miracle of "Sour and Sweet Is Me." Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

......

After listening to the entire song, Yang Mi said to Zeng Jia, who was standing next to her, "Jia-jie, what do you think? Should I ask Zhang Yang for a song too?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jia's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "Mimi, your suggestion is good. Hmm, it would be best to have Zhang Yang create a song based on your voice characteristics."

......

The premiere of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was a star-studded event, and the film's excellent quality drew praise from the media and guests present.

However, just as the event was drawing to a close and the main cast was taking a group photo on stage, a camera, from an unknown angle, captured this moment: in a slightly dim corner of the stage, Zhang Yang turned his head slightly and whispered something to Liu Yifei beside him.

Liu Yifei's smiling face froze slightly at first, then her eyes flickered, and she gave him a reproachful glance, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards into an extremely sweet arc.

That look, that expression, was something you'd never see between ordinary colleagues or friends. It was an interaction filled with intimacy, coquettishness, and unspoken understanding.

This photo, along with the questions asked during the premiere interviews, prompted many reporters to write lengthy posts.

Breaking News! Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei's suspected relationship exposed! The "You Are the Apple of My Eye" couple has become a real-life couple!

Almost immediately after the premiere, this GIF, along with several candid photos of the two gazing deeply into each other's eyes and whispering to each other on stage, stormed onto the trending topics lists of major portal websites.

Those who had already shipped Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei as a couple due to the rumors were excitedly expressing their joy online.

"Ahhh! My favorite couple has become a reality! I really hope Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei get married right now!"

Some casual observers who don't follow the entertainment industry were shocked by the overwhelming amount of "evidence."

"Holy crap? Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei? This is a bombshell! They're probably the most perfect couple in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

Some media outlets, always eager for drama, fanned the flames, releasing numerous revelations under the guise of "a friend of mine" or "an insider," detailing various ambiguous relationships between the two, from "My Love from the Star" to "You Are the Apple of My Eye," making their romance seem incredibly real.

Before the gossip about Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang's relationship had even died down, the topic of "Yang Mi and Liu Yifei vying for a man?" has resurfaced.

Yang Mi's actions are really controversial. As an outsider who didn't participate in the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye," she actually interfered in the relationship between Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei. Coupled with the previous rumors between the two, many people believed this news.

However, compared to Liu Yifei, although Yang Mi has already shown signs of becoming popular, almost no one is on her side when it comes to competing with Liu Yifei for Zhang Yang, and the internet is full of ridicule.

"Doesn't Yang Mi have any self-awareness? How dare she compete with Liu Yifei?"

"In terms of looks, temperament, and reputation since her debut, in what way is Liu Yifei far superior to Yang Mi?"

"If Zhang Yang isn't blind, he knows who to choose, right?"

"I'm taking my Mimi with me. I'll be beautiful on my own. No thanks!"

"Some people's fans are really shameless. Does our fairy sister need to 'compete' with anyone?"

Yang Mi's Weibo comment section was instantly flooded with sarcastic remarks. It's only because Liu Yifei doesn't have a social media account that the comments section would have been filled with well wishes.

Following that, a fan-recorded video of Liu Yifei singing "What I'm Expecting Isn't Snow" at the premiere of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was also uploaded online. Although the resolution wasn't very high, the melody was catchy and the lyrics were straightforward and easy to understand.

Many of Liu Yifei's fans left comments under the fan-taken video.

"What I long for isn't snow, but those years with you!"

"It turns out this song had already expressed Shen Jiayi's true feelings!"

"I'm listening to this song on repeat, and all I can think about is Ko Ching-teng and Shen Chia-yi!"

"A divine voice paired with a divine love story—absolutely stunning!"

And so, "What I'm Expecting Isn't Snow" rose to the top of various music charts at a speed that no one had anticipated, and Liu Yifei finally made a name for herself as a singer.

Consequently, the discussion surrounding "You Are the Apple of My Eye" has also increased, since "What I'm Expecting Isn't Snow" is suffixed with "Promotional Song for the Movie 'You Are the Apple of My Eye'".

Out of curiosity, some active internet users who don't usually follow entertainment news searched for the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Wang Xiaoer's team at Huayi also arranged for online trolls to act opportunistically, posting on major portal websites, online forums, and other platforms to stir up trouble.

Soon, online discussions about "You Are the Apple of My Eye" surged, and this time, most of the comments were negative.

"Oh my god, family members, Liu Yifei is wreaking havoc on the film industry again."

"I still can't forget Zhang Yang's expressionless acting in 'My Love from the Star'... Even though Fan Bingbing's acting was so bad, she looked so outstanding next to Zhang Yang!!"

"I really don't understand Zhang Yang's choice. He hasn't even established himself in the TV drama industry yet, why is he trying to stir up trouble in the film industry? He's lost his mind!!"

"Because 'My Love from the Star' is a TV series, Zhang Yang's acting flaws weren't as obvious. But 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' is a movie! With Zhang Yang's expressionless acting, how can this movie be watchable?!"

"Regardless of the movie's quality, the song 'Those Years' is truly excellent. It's true what they say, bad movies often produce amazing songs!!"

"I really want to crack open Zhang Yang's head and see what he's thinking. So many fans are asking him to release an album on his Weibo every day, but he ignores them and insists on acting in movies. What's wrong with him?!"

"Do you think it's possible that Zhang Yang made 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' because he wanted to use the movie to pursue Liu Yifei?"

"That's quite an idea... but you know what, it's actually possible."

"Help!! My girlfriend is a seasoned movie buff, and she's already booked ten tickets to watch 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' with me for five consecutive days. What should I do? I'm so panicked!"

"You should be grateful, upstairs. It's better for your girlfriend to buy ten tickets to see 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' with you than for her to take five different men to see it, and then imagine you as Zhang Yang when she sleeps with you that night!"

"That hurts, bro!!"
