042

This episode aired in early July, just a few days before the movie premiere. The cinemas with scheduled screenings have already put up posters for promotion. Among the various posters, the one where He Ming and Ding Man are dancing in each other's arms attracted the most attention...

 

Many movie fans already know about this upcoming release, and they are looking forward to it.

 

The male lead, Chi Yan, has good word-of-mouth among the influencers, with two art-house romantic films that did reasonably well before. As long as he keeps performing steadily, with a few more works, he can complete his transformation and shed the label of an online influencer.

 

As for Jasmine, who plays the female lead... she is already labeled as a drama queen. Many people have the concept that any drama involving Jasmine will be very interesting.

 

Although this is not a TV drama, but a movie, because it is her first attempt, the audience still has expectations.

 

Some people have already booked tickets for the premiere day, while others are not sure which day they are free, but have decided to go see it.

 

Passersby have this attitude, while fans of Chi Yan have to work harder.

 

Although there has been a consensus in the industry that relying solely on fans cannot support the box office and TV ratings, fans always feel that they are working hard to lay a good foundation for their idol. A few days before the release, if the ratings are decent and the drama is not too bad, as long as the reviews are passable, the movie will have a chance.

 

With this belief in mind, the fan sisters started mobilizing early, while wealthy fans have many plans to buy out theaters for others to watch.

 

For those who have booked tickets in advance, Chi Yan's fans are the most.

 

As for Jasmine?

 

Without any organization, she just planned to post on Facebook a day in advance to let her drama fans know and encourage them to buy a ticket if interested.

 

However, before she could post, fans of their group stole the spotlight.

 

In early July, Chi Yan and Jasmine went to record a program to promote the movie. "Desired Life" had been lackluster for several episodes until their appearance brought a strong rebound.

 

At the beginning of the program, viewers praised their looks, but as they started working in the fields, the audience began to cheer.

 

—— These two seem to get along well.

 

—— Is it just my imagination? Brother seems a bit gentle today.

 

—— That is indeed your misconception. Although my brother doesn't talk much, he has always been gentle and polite to others, okay???

 

At the beginning, the vibe was like this. When they were just starting to divide into groups, one group went to the stream while the other went to the vegetable field, and the barrage started buzzing.

 

Originally, everyone was looking forward to the Vegetable Field Queen slaying the scene, but because the tasks assigned on the show were relatively easy, after picking everything that needed to be picked, Jasmine's extraordinary strength wasn't really showcased. The pretentious scene was not seen, and everyone just enjoyed the show.

 

The audience saw Jasmine picking vegetables in the front, while Chi Yan was changing things up in the back. The camera crew gave a close-up shot, and later, Jasmine's basket was full of vegetable leaves, while Chi Yan's side had a basket full of fruits and melons.

 

-- Brother is such a gentleman! Taking good care of Sister Jas!

 

-- The production team applied this filter, it's a bit sweet.

 

-- ...Did you all forget that they all went to the vegetable field as a group of three? Did you just pretend the little brother didn't exist?

 

-- Little Brother: *Burp*, still haven't eaten, full from all the lovey-dovey.

 

This segment can also be described as having good manners. After they returned, Chi Yan watched Jasmine cook seriously, Chi Yan handed water to Jasmine to wash her hands, and during the meal, he even sat next to her willingly.

 

The fans were a bit dazed.

 

Was Brother like this when promoting other shows before?

 

Although he would try to cooperate as much as possible before, it seems like he was prompted to act more, and he wasn't this proactive.

 

Some details that regular viewers might not pay much attention to, but fans are different. Fans' focus is completely on their idol, to the extent of using a magnifying glass to scrutinize every expression and movement, these details inevitably make people pause.

 

Just as fans were about to ask others in the group chat about their feelings, the scene suddenly took a bizarre turn during the meal segment.

 

A dish of vinegar cucumbers surprised Chi Yan.

 

A plate of tomato and egg stir-fry moved the guests to tears.

 

The director couldn't bear it and asked what they were doing, only to be persuaded by the stars to taste it, almost bursting into tears.

 

There is also the grandparent-grandchild CP and the tilted head kill.

 

-- Health bar is empty!!!

 

=- Big brother, you're too cute!!! (✧∇✧)

 

-- Isn't this too unfair!

 

Fans are covering their faces, while the audience watching the show are still confused.

 

--?

 

--???

 

-- Did someone put mustard in the tomato and egg stir fry? Why did everyone cry so suddenly?

 

-- Are you stupid? Where would there be mustard here?

 

-- Then what's going on? Could it be that Sister Jas used the skills of a junior chef to make a tomato and egg dish that, although not dazzling, can move people to tears.

 

——This is ridiculous...

 

——What else could it be? Did the production team specially arrange such a ridiculous segment to praise the guest's cooking skills? Why didn't they use this trick in the previous seasons?!

 

——If this happened to someone else, I would have doubted it, but considering this tomato and egg stir-fry was made by the culinary queen, a soulful suona performer, and a Peking Opera goddess, there might be some tricks to it.

 

After being reminded, some people started to recall Jasmine's previous controversial actions.

 

Indeed, if this happened to someone else, it wouldn't seem so strange.

 

Isn't it just a dish that made everyone at the table cry?!

 

——This is still very ridiculous!

 

——How can she possess all these bizarre skills?

 

——But that's not important, suddenly craving it.

 

——I'm so hungry.

 

Then, everyone insisted that Jasmine should take a bite herself. Jasmine acted as a shield, but someone just switched sides abruptly, causing a rift in the devoted CP fans.

 

The fan sisters was dumbfounded.

 

Completely dumbfounded.

 

Especially those who previously thought there were issues between them, now felt like they were the ones with the problem. Is this the attitude of a female star in love? Since when did falling in love become so comical?

 

Think about the personas of these two.

 

Jasmine is playful with everyone, whether you are a super-rich second generation or a top influencer, she doesn't hold back.

 

As for Chi Yan, she is a person of her word, who will surely do a good job once she takes on a task. This is just a CP collaboration between friends for movie promotion, and they are working hard on it.

 

After confirming this situation, the fan sisters felt much happier, finding the subsequent discussions quite interesting.

 

——After watching this episode, I've become a fan of Jasmine, she's so interesting!

 

——Jasmine: Envious of the characters I play being interesting? Well, I envy you for being able to be yourself.

 

——The part where they teased Chi Yan's smart brain and strong learning ability was also funny, it seems like anything coming from her mouth is entertaining.

 

——It's because she is amusing.

 

——I suddenly understood why her circle of friends is so wide, if it were me, I would also like to hang out with such a sister.

 

——But the sister doesn't want to hang out with you, isn't it nice to have Yu Yang on the left and Chi Yan on the right?

 

...

 

The next day's episode was about Yu Yang, which he did because the episode had so many inside jokes that once it aired, it took over Facebook, with fans creating gifs and various funny comments everywhere.

 

The news of the CP breakup even trended on hot searches.

 

Chi Yan's fans saw this as a great opportunity to promote the movie, so they created a big news story, flooding Jasmine's Facebook comments with over 100,000 messages begging for Chi Yan's forgiveness.

 

——Look at this handsome face, are you really willing to break up with him?

 

——Chi Yan is indeed a bit silly, please don't look down on him, if you must, wait until after the movie is released.

 

——Woman, I'll give you a chance to rephrase, if you don't do it well, I'll make a scene.

 

——I'll expose you, I'll pay you, hurry up and create a CP with him!

 

This move left netizens stunned.

 

Following that, there were all kinds of screenshots and reposts.

 

"Click to see fan Sister's humble online presence"

 

"Why are fan girls like this?"

 

"Is this the first time someone begged an actress to create a CP with their own brother? I'm dying of laughter."

 

"Does anyone want to discuss the controversial operation Foodie Sister pulled on Facebook? Just for movie promotion, is it really necessary?"

 

——Well, the industry is very optimistic about this movie, those who have seen it all say that Jasmine entering the film industry is like finding a treasure, and Chi Yan's performance in this movie is considered her peak acting. Not to mention the investors, even theater owners have high expectations. Also, Yu Yang already had a successful drama earlier this year, overshadowing others, if Chi Yan wants to catch up, she won't be able to keep up.

 

This is all about fans working together to create topics, indirectly promoting the movie.

 

Just hearing about this incident indirectly provides information that the movie is about to be released, if one out of ten people decides to watch it, that's a success. It can boost the box office significantly.

 

You see, Yu Yang watched this episode of the variety show because everyone was talking about it, and he ended up laughing his head off.

 

Obviously, his sense of humor is quite different from others.

 

It's been said before that in the circle of popular stars, Yu Yang and Chi Yan are in the same tier, above all others. Due to this, they naturally have a competitive relationship. Whether Chi Yan takes it seriously is another matter, but Yu Yang sees him as a rival and often gets irritated by some of Chi Yan's actions.

 

Yu Yang's understanding of Chi Yan may be even better than that of the fan sisters.

 

As a result, while everyone dismissed their doubts due to Jasmine's serious and funny behavior, he felt that Chi Yan's performance was off.

 

He searched on his tablet and watched a video of Chi Yan promoting a project on a variety show for about ten minutes.

 

Indeed, in the two videos, his demeanor was completely different.

 

Before, he was all serious business.

 

But this time, it was clearly different. He took the initiative to care, listened attentively, and even involuntarily revealed subtle facial expressions.

 

People in the barrage were praising Chi Yan's acting skills, but Yu Yang thought, "What acting skills? Who would show off acting skills on a variety show? If you really have to, it's only when cued to perform a segment. He's obviously interested in Jasmine.

 

Just the thought of Chi Yan having a one-sided crush on the dogie sister but her being completely unaware made Yu Yang burst into laughter.

 

He kept poking Jasmine on WeChat—

 

"[Sis!]"

 

"[Sis, come out!]"

 

"[Come out quickly!]"

 

——"What's wrong?"

 

"[Tell me, who do you like more, me or Chi Yan?]"

 

——"Are you drunk?"

 

"[Just tell me!]"

 

——"Are you playing the king's game or truth or dare? Did you lose the game?"

 

"[Stop avoiding the question. Tell me, if Chi Yan and I fell into the water together, and you could only save one, who would you choose?]"

 

——"It depends on who can't swim."

 

"[If we were both very very hungry and you had only one bowl of rice, who would you feed?]"

 

——"Can't we eat together? What's with your possessiveness?"

 

"[...]"

 

"[Give me a straight answer! If you could only choose one between him and me, who would you pick?]"

 

——"..."

 

——"You, you'll choose me, right?"

 

"[Then why do you cook for him and not me? I'm jealous. You can't just treat me to a grand feast without a reason.]"

 

——"Please! Wait for my birthday, I'll cook a big meal, and we'll cry together at the birthday party."

 

At this point, Jasmine still hadn't realized what was going on. But soon she found out, as this guy skipped all the details and posted a provocative circle of friends post, suggesting that even the best CPs can't compare to siblings' deep bond.

 

After posting, he waited, waiting for SB to come and screenshot the post for reposting.
