He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

Liu Yifei stared at the image of "Sammo Hung...that's Sammo Hung!!!" on her phone screen.

I watched it several times, and the corners of my mouth were turned up so wide I couldn't suppress it.

She rolled over, holding her phone in her arms like she was holding a cat.

Then she took action.

The first call was to her assistant, Xiaomei.

"Xiaomei, did you go see 'Kung Fu Jungle'?"

"Not yet, Sister Yifei, I've been busy these past few days..."

"Go tomorrow, you have to go. Tell me your thoughts after you've seen it."

Xiao Mei was taken aback: "Sister Yifei, why are you so excited? Do you know anyone in this movie?"

"You'll see when you read it, remember to post it on your WeChat Moments."

It's over.

The second call was to her good friend Zhou Ting, who was not in the entertainment industry.

The two were high school classmates and have known each other for almost ten years.

Although she wasn't in the entertainment industry, Liu Yifei would tell her everything.

"Tingting, can you do me a favor?"

"explain."

"Doesn't your company have several hundred people? Why don't you organize everyone to see 'Kung Fu Jungle'? I'll pay for the tickets."

Zhou Ting laughed on the other end of the phone: "Are you crazy? What movie are you so interested in?"

"My boyfriend acted in it."

Zhou Ting's laughter stopped abruptly: "Say that again?"

"My boyfriend plays the role, his name is Ye Mo. Please help me spread the word," Liu Yifei said in a low voice. "Don't tell anyone else, just keep it within your company."

Zhou Ting was silent for two seconds, then said something meaningful: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Yifei, you're serious this time."

It's not a question, it's a statement.

Liu Yifei didn't answer and hung up the phone.

She scrolled through her contacts again, searched around, and sent messages to several close friends, none of whom were in the industry, but all of whom she trusted.

The content is similar—go watch "Kung Fu Jungle," you won't regret it, I guarantee it.

After sending the message, she opened Weibo.

I hesitated for three seconds.

Then she posted a Weibo post:

"I went to see 'Kung Fu Jungle' yesterday, originally to support a friend, but I was blown away. Zeng Zidan's action scenes were as hardcore as ever, but what surprised me the most was Feng Yuxiu—the villain. I had nightmares for two nights after watching it, really, I'm not exaggerating. I highly recommend everyone to go to the cinema to experience it."

She didn't mention Ye Mo's name, only saying "Feng Yuxiu".

But the fans have discerning eyes.

Comments came quickly.

"Sister Yifei recommended it? Then I definitely have to check it out!"

"Feng Yuxiu? Is that the actor played by that newcomer who's trending on social media?"

"Does Sister Yifei know that actor?"

"Is your sister currently filming in Hengdian? Did you meet her on set?"

"Whatever, if Sister Yifei says it looks good, then it must look good!"

"I've bought the tickets, I'll go see it tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei scrolled through the comments one by one, a smile playing on her lips.

However, some fans are worried:

"Sis, have you been too high-profile lately? Be careful you don't get photographed."

"Exactly, let's stop people saying it's just a publicity stunt."

"Sister Yifei, you should post less of this kind of stuff; it'll affect you."

Looking at those "worried" comments, Liu Yifei felt a little warm inside, but more than that, she felt unconvinced.

What's wrong with posting a movie recommendation?

Does she have to consider other people's opinions when deciding who she likes or what she recommends?

She was about to send another message when her phone rang.

Liu's mother.

Liu Yifei's heart sank for a moment before she answered the call.

"mom."

"What did you just send?" Liu's mother's voice was cold, without any pleasantries, she went straight to the question.

"I posted a Weibo post recommending a movie."

"Do you know who you are now? You're a top-tier actress. Every Weibo post you make will be amplified by the media. It's fine if you recommend a movie, but do you know what they'll write? 'Liu Yifei recommends 'Kung Fu Jungle' late at night, seemingly supporting her mysterious boyfriend.'"

Liu Yifei remained silent.

Liu's mother continued, "I checked, Ye Mo is in this movie. If you post this Weibo, people won't think you're simply recommending the movie; they'll think you're endorsing him. If that gets out, what about your endorsements? What about your image?"

"Mom, I was just recommending a movie, it's not that serious."

"It's not that serious?" Liu's mother's voice rose. "Do you know that people in the industry are already talking about your visit to the set last time? And now you're doing this again? Do you want everyone to know that you're dating that extra?"

Liu Yifei gripped her phone tightly.

"He's not just an extra." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.

"He's not just an extra anymore, but what is he? What does he have? What does he have to offer you?"

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.

She didn't want to argue.

But she had already made a decision in her heart.

"Mom, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

"It's good that you know." Liu's mother's tone softened a little. "Listen to me during this time: post less on Weibo, go out less, and we'll talk about it after this is over."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei sat on the bed, staring at her phone screen.

The comments under her Weibo post are still constantly being refreshed.

Some people support it, some are worried, and some have already bought tickets.

She scrolled to the comment, "Sis, have you been too high-profile lately?" and smiled.

Then she logged out of her current account and switched to another account.

The alternate account is nicknamed "A Little Cat," and its profile picture is an orange cat. It only has a few dozen followers, all of whom are zombie fans.

She has never posted on Weibo before, but starting today, she plans to post more.

Using this alternate account, she reposted her main account's Weibo post, adding the comment: "Supporting Sister Yifei's recommendation of a great movie! I've already bought tickets!"

After posting it, she laughed at herself.

Rebellion doesn't necessarily have to be earth-shattering.

Doing it secretly can be quite fun.

……

Time jumped, and two days later.

"Kung Fu Jungle" has become a huge hit.

The box office exceeded 100 million yuan in two days, and the Douban score remained stable at 8.4, while Maoyan scored 9.2.

This achievement is something we haven't seen in domestic action films for many years.

On the trending topics list, five topics were related to "Kung Fu Jungle".

Two of them are related to Feng Yuxiu.

#Feng Yuxiu determined both superiority and inferiority, and also decided life and death#

#Feng Yuxiu actor Ye Mo#

In the first topic, the most popular video has already surpassed 20 million views.

The comments section was overwhelmingly positive, but there were also some humorous ones mixed in.

Feng Yuxiu: I'm not going to be human anymore, I'm going to beat ten of them.

"While I was watching, I kept yelling 'Stop fighting! Stop fighting!' But then he got beaten to death, and I cried. Am I crazy?"

"Does anyone think Feng Yuxiu is more handsome than the main character? Not just handsome in appearance, but in a crazy way."

"It not only distinguishes between superiors and inferiors, but also determines life and death—this is what I want to say when I argue with people now."

"I suggest Feng Yuxiu go fight Ip Man and see who's better."

"Stop joking, Feng Yuxiu is the villain, he has to die."

The second topic was entirely about Ye Mo.

"Just who is this Ye Mo? How can he act like this in his very first role?"

"I checked the information. He graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, worked as an extra for two years, and was recruited by director Chen Desheng from Hengdian."

"Hengdian? Isn't that a gathering place for extras? How can an actor like this emerge from among extras?"

"They're not extras, they're gems. They were just buried in Hengdian before."

"I've already followed him on Weibo, what about you guys?"

"I've been following him for a while now. He only posts a few things on Weibo, and they're all pictures of boxed lunches. He's such a genuine person."

"What has he been filming lately? Does he have any new movies?"

"It seems they filmed 'Brotherhood of Blades,' but it hasn't been released yet."

There are also dissenting voices:

"They're hyping him up like this after just one movie? What if his next movie is a flop?"

"Exactly, don't overpraise them; newcomers are prone to getting carried away."

"Let's see what his next movie is like first."

But these dissenting voices were quickly drowned out by even more praise.

"The role of Feng Yuxiu is enough to bring him three years of financial benefits."

"Did you notice how he walked? His limp was so convincing. My friend, who is disabled, said he acted like it was real."

"That wasn't acting; it was part of the character's role. To play the role well, he put on insoles and limped for as long as filming went on."

"It would be an injustice if this kind of actor didn't become famous."

Ye Mo's Weibo followers increased from a few hundred to 500,000 in just two days.

His latest Weibo post is still that photo of a boxed lunch, and the comment section has exploded.

"Bro, you're famous now, do you know that?"

"Feng Yuxiu, I would call him the strongest newcomer in Chinese-language cinema!"

"Brother, when is your next movie coming out? I can't wait!"

"Is he filming 'Brotherhood of Blades'? Directed by Lu Yang?"

"Lu Yang? That's a sure thing."

Some people have already started using memes.

Ye Mo: I play a villain, but the audience is all on my side, which is unreasonable.

Feng Yuxiu: Being killed by the protagonist is my destiny, but being remembered by the audience is my skill.
