Chapter 266: Trickles Converge into a Sea
Qin Xi once again felt the rapidly changing era of Internet entertainment. It is said that things change over time, but in the entertainment industry, the wind direction may change in just three days.
Xiao Cen, who was previously in charge of Qin Xi's Weibo operations, was promoted to be in charge of Qin Xi's publicity after joining Qin Xi's studio. Xiao Cen helplessly said that the marketing accounts that are now mocking and calling Qin Xi bad are actually the same group of people who praised Qin Xi's ascension a while ago.
"These people will do anything to gain traffic, and they change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. I don't know if they were bought off by Yue Ying. What should we do with the current reputation, Sister Xi?"
Xiao Cen was very worried. Fu Yao, who was passing by and overheard what was going on, stopped with his coffee in hand.
"Good! It's good!"
Xiao Cen, who was already anxious, had a bitter face, "Brother Fu, which side are you on? It's ok if you don't give me advice, but why are you gloating over other people's misfortunes?"
Fu Yao took a sip of the rich coffee and chuckled.
"I'm just giving you some ideas. I think there's nothing wrong with the current situation. We can even add fuel to the fire for the better!"
"Brother Fu, are you kidding me?"
Xiao Cen didn't understand what Fu Yao meant, but Qin Xi had already noticed his hidden meaning.
"Xiao Fu, please elaborate..."
"The worst thing about a work is that it has no voice, because that's when it will flop without a sound. As the saying goes, a work that is criticized or criticized is still popular. As long as there is discussion, there will be popularity, and as long as there is popularity, there will be no worries about no one going to the cinema. As for word of mouth, it is even more favorable. The more criticism there is now, the lower the audience's expectations, and the greater the possibility of being amazed after watching the film. So since the current public opinion is already like this, why not make the voice louder..."
"That's right, no matter it's black or red, first let the audience be interested in [The Abyss and You], as long as some people are willing to go to the cinema, the first step will be successful!"
Qin Xi couldn't help but praise, "Xiao Fu, it's a waste of your talent to be just a financial officer. You are the brainiac of our studio!"
Fu Yao smiled faintly, hiding his achievements and fame.
Qin Xi and Fu Yao looked at each other. Communication between smart people is so easy.
"Since someone is taking so much trouble to help me, how can I let them do it for nothing?"

The streams keenly sensed that something was wrong and sounded the first-level alarm.
"What happened? Didn't Xixi just play a patient? Why did her reputation take a sudden turn for the worse? She must have been attacked by someone who hired internet trolls again. Many marketing accounts are so careless and their content is exactly the same! Ever since Xixi won the Fei Ge Best Actress Award, she seems to be under constant scrutiny..."
"Xi Liu, as fans of Qin Xi, we all know that Qin Xi, as an idol and actor, never lets us down. Xi Liu has always been the happiest fan group in the domestic entertainment industry. This is because Qin Xi is excellent enough to bring powerful strength to Xi Liu. Xi Liu receives resonance and gives it back to Qin Xi. This cycle allows Qin Xi and Xi Liu to grow together and become stronger.
The darker the moment, the more we should believe in Qin Xi unconditionally and believe that her choices are never wrong! We must unite and let everyone see the cohesion of the stream. What other fans can't do, the stream can do! "
"In the past, Xixi always stood at the forefront, dispelling the haze and shielding Xiliu from wind and rain. But now the trickles have gathered into a sea, and have enough power to become Xixi's strong support. Let the release day of [The Abyss and You] become Xiliu's team-building day, and use the box office to slap the haters in the face!"

On May 2011, 5, [The Abyss and You] was finally released.
Qin Xi finally saw the true face of her debut film. [The Abyss and You] was recorded with synchronous sound. After Qin Xi finished filming, she never watched the rough cut, fine cut or the final film.
In fact, it's not that there was no chance. After Director Chen confirmed the film was completed, he shared his joy with Qin Xi and gave her the tape, but Qin Xi hesitated and didn't open it in the end. Perhaps it was because she paid too much and didn't dare to know the result. No one knows better than Qin Xi how much she paid in the three months of filming [The Abyss and You]. Although it was only a short three months, Qin Xi experienced Yan Xizhao's beautiful and short life like the sunset. She poured all her blood and tears into this role. Even though Qin Xi had already mastered superb acting skills, for the role of Yan Xizhao, Qin Xi threw away all her skills and let Yan Xizhao's soul completely occupy her body. Qin Xi was tortured and not only depressed, but also couldn't get out of it after the filming was completed.
Later, Qin Xi got better, and she tried hard to adjust herself and deliberately removed Yan Xizhao from her heart. But occasionally thinking of her, her heart would still ache. This process of repeatedly pulling between the role and reality is very painful, so even though Qin Xi wanted to know what her interpretation of [The Abyss and You] was like, she still resisted watching it.
But now that [The Abyss and You] is officially released, Qin Xi has to look directly at Yan Xizhao again.
When the first shot of the movie appeared on the big screen, many dusty scenes once again emerged in Qin Xi's mind. At this moment, Qin Xi felt that Yan Xizhao had returned to her body again.
Scene after scene in the movie, although Qin Xi already knew the direction of the story, she still couldn't help but share the sorrow and joy with Yan Xizhao. Thinking back to the bits and pieces during the filming, it was both familiar and strange, as if Yan Xizhao was not played by her, but a real little girl, face to face with her from bright and dazzling to miserable failure, but even so, she always had hope in her life. This feeling is really like a lifetime ago, with mixed feelings.
Qin Xi knew that she would soon start the roadshow promotion for [The Abyss and You]. There would definitely be a lot of questions about the role, but Qin Xi felt that it was difficult for her to express the role objectively because she loved Gu Xizhao so much. The more this happened, the more nervous she became about the audience's feedback.
[The Abyss] was squeezed into the "May Day" schedule, and the number of screenings was pitifully small. The largest cinema in Beijing only scheduled three screenings on May Day, two of which were late at night. Whether it can reverse the decline in box office and reverse word of mouth depends on the feedback from the first batch of audiences.
What Qin Xi never expected was that under such difficult circumstances, the box office of [The Abyss and You] reached 100 million on the first day!
The film publicity team and Qin Xi's publicity department were so excited that they were dumbfounded. They had not anticipated this sudden surprise at all and didn't even have time to arrange a poster that would gross over 100 million yuan.
Everyone even doubted that there was a bug in the box office data, but soon, Qin Xi was spontaneously organized by the streamers to watch the movie. Those who could buy a ticket bought a ticket, and those who could book the whole theater invited their family, friends, or streamers to watch the movie again, and even passers-by watched the movie. They also recorded videos and took photos to support Qin Xi.
The trickles of water converged into a sea, and Qin Xi was deeply moved.
