Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 63 "I Guess"

I left a message on the website but didn't receive an immediate reply. 🎅😾 ❻9sfy.c𝕆claw🐉♧

Unlike netizens in later generations who surf the internet intensively and respond at any time as if they were surfing 24/7.

However, it was quickly discovered by netizens, causing a huge uproar.

"Dude, are you serious?"

"You really are?!"

"Damn! I want an autographed photo too!"

"The internet speed is a bit slow, you're only admitting it now."

『.』

Hu Hong, who hadn't surfed the internet for two days, got off work early today and, unusually, turned on his computer.

I browsed a few websites before finally opening the one Chen An had previously commented on.

Although Chen An did not speak again, he still attracted a group of film enthusiasts to exchange ideas here.

Therefore, Hu Hong often comes here to browse and chat with many netizens.

Talking about movies with enthusiasts from all over the country is a real pleasure.

Some of my friends watch movies, but only a minority truly enjoy them and are willing to learn more about them.

Most of the netizens gathered here were like him, and with so many people and pleasant conversations, Hu Hong felt like he was back home.

However, the situation seems different today; the server seems to be lagging again.

The page is lagging a bit, with countless new comments flooding the screen.

"What's going on?" Hu Hong tried clicking on the lagging page but found no response.

Even clearing the page didn't work; the computer just froze, so Hu Hong had to restart it.

When I opened the page again, although it didn't freeze and I successfully entered the webpage, scrolling through the page was still a bit sluggish.

It's watchable, though.

It took me a dozen or so comments to realize what had happened, so I quickly found my own comment.

Sure enough, the user with the ID "I'm Really Not a Director" commented: "Dude, you're pretty awesome. It's a shame you're not a detective. Remember to come see your new movie, I'll give you an autographed photo!"

He really is!

Hu Hong felt a surge of heat rush to his brain, instantly dispelling the fatigue of a day's work.

My guess was right, and the person in question even replied to me, invited me to see his movie, and gave me an autographed photo!

Most importantly, he really is Chen An!

I love all of Hu Hong's movies, and I've watched all three of his movies that are currently showing.

Will we be able to take a photo together then? I'll definitely find the best frame to put it in!

He then quickly added his own comment below, saying he would definitely go to see the movie and prayed that he could take a photo with it.

Even after leaving a comment, I couldn't calm down and anxiously waited for more comments, so I just sat there and didn't go anywhere.

However, after other netizens commented, Chen An still did not respond.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy, Director Chen should be asleep by now." Hu Hong yawned until around 1 a.m. but still didn't get a reply from Chen An.

Hu Hong had no choice but to go back to bed and sleep.

But after lying down for a long time, I still couldn't fall asleep: "No, I can't sleep at all. I can't sleep without an answer!" So I got up again, made myself some food, and sat in front of the computer desk waiting.

As for Chen An, after sending the message and waiting for a while without receiving a reply, he stopped paying attention to it.

I turned off the computer after browsing for a while, ate dinner, and went to bed. There weren't many entertainment options since Yu Jinghong wasn't around.

Going to bed early is good for your health. You need to be healthy to have fun, especially since you'll be facing off against foreigners. Take care of yourself first.

Two days later, I turned on my computer again and went to the website to see if the other party had left a message.

"What kind of website is this? It's so laggy." Chen An wanted to curse as he clicked on the website; it was so slow and took forever to load.

Chen An clicked several times before finally getting through, only to find that the other person had already left a message—several messages, in fact—along with countless other netizens.

Aside from the first message asking if I could take a photo with them, the other messages were all asking if I was online.

Chen An suddenly felt a great deal of guilt, so he left a message and then ignored the person for a few days.

I replied to the other party immediately, and to my surprise, they replied shortly afterward, which means they had been waiting for me.

Chen An felt like he deserved to die; the other party had been lying in wait the whole time, wouldn't he suddenly die?

I quickly asked him for his address so I could invite him to the premiere as a way of apologizing.

After the other party sends the address, write it down in a notebook and then ask them to delete it.

69 new books

After all, it's a matter of personal privacy, and it's not good to keep it online all the time.

He then quickly messaged the other person: "Dude, get some sleep. Remember to come to the premiere, I want to take a picture with you."

Then they went offline, and while the two were chatting, many other netizens were clamoring to have it too.

Chen pretended not to see it, so it was better to slip away as soon as possible.

This also boosted the film's promotion to a new level, with the number of netizens gradually increasing, and growing explosively.

Netizens have also begun to attract public attention, and Chen An has become one of the most discussed and well-known figures online.

This latest move, in particular, only added fuel to the fire.

The news spread widely among netizens, causing the website server to crash again.

And "My Sassy Girl" once again entered the audience's eyes from a unique perspective through Chen An's unconventional actions.

With the release date drawing ever closer, the publicity campaign has reached new heights, even bringing out Zeng Li and Chen Kun.

We officially started participating in promotional programs, as it was arranged in advance.

It will also be shown in Hong Kong Island and Taiwan at the same time, and variety shows from both places will also be featured, although the other side is a newcomer.

The team was led by Chen An, whose film "Run Lola Run" was shown in Hong Kong and did quite well.

Pirated DVDs of "Little Forest" also circulated in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They have a certain level of fame.

For example, the Taiwanese show "I guess, I guess, I guess" is the predecessor of "You guess, you guess, you guess".

The variety show that premiered in 1996 last year has seen a surge in popularity since Wu Zongxian took over as host this March, along with Barbie Hsu and Dee Hsu. It is now a wildly popular variety show in Taiwan.

This was arranged by a Taiwanese publisher, a bigwig in Taiwan, who is currently undergoing a career transition.

Chen An appeared on the show with the two lead actors.

Host Wu Zongxian jokingly said, "This is a big shot, the mainland director Chen An. He won the Best Director award at Cannes even before Wong Kar-wai. It's a pity the film wasn't shown here, but pirated DVDs are everywhere, hahaha."

"Haha, Brother Xian, you don't need to introduce me. I know him. He's such a young and handsome director. I often watch his 'Little Forest' DVDs alone while eating."

Little S took the lead, and she was even more witty and mischievous than Big S, laughing and playfully bumping into Wu Zongxian.

Chen An also chimed in appropriately: "Is the disc an original? It should be an original, right?" After saying that, he stared at Little S curiously, as if waiting for her answer.

But Little S on the other side suddenly turned her head and whistled nonchalantly, trying to avoid the question.

This caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

Finally, Wu Zongxian, after laughing, spoke up: "Director Chen, she only went astray temporarily. She will definitely buy the original next time, and we will all support your new movie this time."

The conversation then turned to promoting the new movie.

Little S immediately nodded, "That's right, I will definitely give my full support to Director Chen's new movie and invite my friends to support it too." It seemed like she was trying to make amends.

Even Chen An, who was on set, couldn't help but admire the actor's superb acting skills.

A little rhythm can evoke the emotions in the animation.

As expected of a province renowned for its variety shows, it still possesses considerable strength.

Finally, the topic was steered by the hosts to the film, along with some questions for the guests.

In some games, the three of them also went on stage together, playing and having fun together.

Once the recording is complete, it will be played before the movie's release to promote the film.

After the event, Chen An politely treated the hosts to a meal as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Of course, I also want to visit Wu Zongxian's company to see if I can find a Jay Chou in his developmental stage, then I don't care about the movie announcement or promotion.

However, there wasn't enough time, and after recording the program, Chen An left Taiwan with the two lead actors.

Because the promotion is still ongoing, this is indeed a busy time.

I don't even dare to read the comments anymore. They just attack me and then I check them one by one, and they haven't even given me a single recommendation vote before they start cursing. Are you even human? Can't you try to be polite first and then resort to violence?
