Immediately, Qin Cheng deleted this post and uploaded a new Weibo with the correct picture.
However, it was too late. If it was just an ordinary small account that posted this Weibo in the fan's Comment Area, perhaps it would not have garnered this much attention. Definitely, there would be fans who discovered this picture from tag searching, but the spread of the post wouldn't have been this wide.
However, the poster's Water Army shop owner was a very responsible person... helping to place this post in first place in the Fan's Area.
In just two short hours, including the 2000 high quality Water Army fans gifted by Alimama, the Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing Weibo account had more than 4000 followers!
[Holy Crap! Why is Wuli [1] Rong Rong's picture gone, gone! Ao Ao Ao I wanted to lick it again!! Fortunately, I right-clicked saved it [doge]]
[Begging for picture! I came one step too late, I heard that this po owner had my boyfriend's beautiful picture, how come it's already gone!]
[Looking at Rong Rong's clothing, it seems to be a Black Clouds stage costume. The hairstyle is also Ling Xiao's style of hair at the time! So, that is to say, po owner is actually a staff member of Black Clouds? 23333 I didn't expect someone in the crew also likes Wuli ChengRong! And they are even in the ChengRong party, Hahaha, the flag will not fall!][2]
That's right, this photo was taken by Qin Cheng during the filming of Black Clouds, taken sneakily during his down time.
The lengthy, high-intensity shooting made everyone in the crew exhausted. At that time, they were supposed to be shooting a night scene. The scenes were all Qin Cheng and Yu Siyu's scenes, and there weren't any of Rong Xu's scenes. Thus, when Qin Cheng finished his part and returned to the resting area, he saw the tired and thin youth on the chair, sleeping silently.
The dark coloration underneath the boy's eyes were well covered by foundation, but when he fell asleep unguarded, a trace of fatigue and fragility was unable to be concealed. Clearly, when he was filming, he was fully energized but when he rested, he finally couldn't hide his exhaustion.
Qin Cheng took the coat hanging on the side and used it to gently cover Rong Xu before going to pour another glass of water. When he returned, Rong Xu was still asleep. All around him, crew and staff members were walking to and fro. Qin Cheng thought for a while before secretly standing three to four meters away, hiding his phone under his sleeve and quietly taking a photo.
The effect of this photo was very good, and a certain man took it out everyday to peek at a few times.
But now … it was actually also ogled by these fans! ! !
His lips pursed slightly, Qin Cheng observed as fans begged for the picture at the bottom of his Weibo page. He was originally a little depressed, but after seeing that many fans kept replying "ChengRong is the way"[3], and "ChengRong Forever", He quietly raised the corner of his lips and temporarily dismissed the idea of deleting this small account.
The photo spurred a storm that spread throughout the fan circle; even Luo Zhentao had heard about it. He searched around for a bit before finding the Sleeping Beauty picture that was deleted by the original po, immediately sending it to Rong Xu.
The next morning, Rong Xu saw Luo Zhentao's message and his handsome brows slowly furrowed.
This photo must have been taken secretly during Black Clouds. But, Rong Xu himself couldn't remember when he had fallen asleep during the filming. Moreover, looking at the clarity of the picture, it should have been taken secretly from a distance.
The crew had so many staff members walking around every day. There were also guest stars and their agents and assistants who would come to the crew. Finding out who took that picture was more difficult than ascending.
Unless he directly went to ask the owner.
Luo Zhentao replied quickly: [I private-messaged the po owner, but the other party did not reply. Little Xu, I think you really need an assistant who can manage the fan circles for you. I am not too savvy with this aspect. Leaking this kind of photo is not necessarily a bad thing. At this time, it could also play a major role in promoting the movie. However, if someone leaked a bad photo next time, then it would be disastrous.]
Rong Xu also replied immediately: [Alright, Brother Luo, then I'll trouble you with deciding on an assistant over the next few days.]
After chatting with Luo Zhentao for a while, Rong Xu opened up Weibo and entered five words.
"Lotus Seed Paste …. Orange Stuffing?"
Rong Xu opened this fan's Weibo to take a closer look. The first thing he noticed was the other party's new Weibo post.
"Rong Rong", "Kiss Kiss" this way of selling meng wasn't Rong Xu's main concern. What he really cared about was the tag posted by the other party: #ChengRong#
The youth furrowed his brows and thought for a bit before finally gently shaking his head, feeling both helpless and amused.
Unexpectedly, he and Qin Cheng would also form a cp one day?
He remembered that when he had cp last time, the other cp party seemed to be Ye Qiao. At the time, Vie for Supremacy was very hot, and "Dong Lilan x Wan Qiyao" this cp had garnered the attention of numerous viewers. The "LanYao" cp blazed for a full three months. It was only in the recent days that the popularity dropped a little. But, listening to Luo Zhentao, it seems even till now they still had many cp fans, still appearing in major online platforms to quietly support them.
There were actually people who like his and Qin Cheng's cp?
"Is it because of Ling Xiao and Gu Mingxiu ... En, their eyes are indeed sharp. It could also be considered an accurate guess."
Rong Xu read the fan's Weibo post expressionlessly. But, when he saw that this fan practically confessed to him for three meals a day, although there were no fluctuations on the surface, the corner of his lips still could not resist twitching.
When he continued scrolling down and saw that this fan actually hated the "LanYao" cp, he was slightly surprised but didn't give it too much thought.
En, in general, this should be a fan who liked to sell meng and was more chuunibyou.[4]
After carefully recalling the staff members he had met while filming Black Clouds, stars and their assistants, Rong Xu couldn't recall anyone who was similar to this fan.
Among the female staff, female celebrities and female assistants, there were indeed some who were his fans, but all of them appeared normal. No matter how he looked at it... none of them seemed like the type of person to say "Kiss Kiss, Kiss Kiss, Kiss Kiss".
After reading this fan's Weibo post, Rong Xu directly got out of bed. He himself didn't remember that a long time ago, he had, in fact seen this fan's meng-selling Weibo before.
After all, he read many fans' Weibos; forgetting one was a matter of fact.
But from now onward, Rong Xu will never forget the name "Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing". Not only because the other party may be an insider who had collaborated with him prior, but also because of the new Weibo post showing the 100 Black Clouds movie tickets.
This sort of luxury wasn't like that of a normal crew member. Even if they weren't a celebrity or an agent, they would at least be higher than an assistant director.
When Rong Xu exited through the door, he found that Qin Cheng had already prepared breakfast.
Qin Cheng's cooking skills were similar to Rong Xu's: it could only be used to fill the stomach. It couldn't be considered a delicacy, but neither was it bad.
Suddenly recalling something, Rong Xu looked at the other person after scooping up the last spoonful of porridge, and he asked with a smile: "I remember when I first moved here … there was a day where you made a lot for breakfast?"
Qin Cheng's hand that was holding his chopsticks shook. A moment later he calmly said: "That was instructed by my mother."
Rong Xu was slightly stunned, saying with a smile: "It turns out it was Aunt Qin."
The man once again leaned down to pick up vegetables, his thin lips pursing in dissatisfaction.
... It was not her!
After eating breakfast, Rong Xu continued to sit in the living room to read his scripts. Qin Cheng was on the phone endlessly. Rong Xu listened in and found that the other party seemed to be entering a crew next week for filming. Though, he felt it was a little inconceivable: hadn't Luo Zhentao said that Qin Cheng, at most, only filmed one movie a year? How come, Disciple hadn't been over a year yet, but he was already going to film another?
When noon came around, Rong Xu cooked a simple 4 dishes and 1 soup set. At the dining table, he only heard Qin Cheng say in a low voice: "Next week, I am going to film in New Zealand and might not be home for a couple of months. If there is an award ceremony in the middle, then I might return. If there's anything, you can call my cell phone directly."
Putting the chopsticks down softly, Rong Xu smiled and said: "It is fine if you just film well, I will take care of myself well. I will talk to Aunt Qin, you don't have to worry."
Qin Cheng: "… you can call me, it's okay."
Rong Xu smiled helplessly: "You can rest assured, I will talk to Aunt Qin."
Qin Cheng: "..."
That afternoon, the two casually watched another movie. This time, the movie Rong Xu chose was a Chinese film starring Wen Xuan. When he heard that the youth wanted to watch a Chinese film, Qin Cheng said seemingly unintentionally: "Want to watch one of my films?"
Rong Xu already had a target in mind early on and directly reached out to remove a specific DVD from the cabinet: "Let's watch Golden Empire, then."
Qin Cheng: "..." One day, he must change all the films in here to his!
After watching for an entire afternoon, the two went to the garden downstairs for a stroll. This community's security was very good, and they didn't have to worry about bumping into paparazzi here. But, the unfortunate thing was that they had only taken a few steps before Qin Cheng received a call from Xu Jin. There appeared to be an urgent matter that required him to head to the company to deal with.
Qin Cheng stared at the youth with deep eyes, with a trace of loss hidden in his glance. Rong Xu smiled imperceptibly and waved at him: "Come back early."
After Qin Cheng really left, the handsome youth walked on the garden path alone. The brilliant moonlight passed through the thin cloud layer and sprinkled onto the ground, casting a cold light onto the brisk stone path.
Rong Xu looked down for a long time at the beautiful pebbles spotting the two sides of the path, before turning around to head upstairs.
In his past life, whenever he didn't have to film, he had never been as leisurely as Qin Cheng was now. He would often make appointments with friends to play ball at the clubs, or sometimes he would travel the world with friends. In this life, because the time he had arrived in this world was still short, not having many friends was quite normal.
But why did it seem like Qin Cheng had nothing to do all day, always staying at home? Did he perhaps have no friends? Before, when they were filming Black Clouds, his relationship with Wen Xuan appeared to be quite good. Recently, Wen Xuan also seemed to be on vacation, why did they never meet up?
In the end, his heavy doubts didn't receive an answer.
Without knowing why, before going to bed at night, Rong Xu opened Qin Cheng's Weibo page and scrolled down to last year's finalization post for Disciple. Then, he opened up this man's private fan forum page. His fans were highly enthusiastic; every two seconds, a new page of fan comments would be posted.
Countless fans were discussing Black Clouds, discussing Gu Mingxiu.
Today was the fourth day since the release of Black Clouds, and the box office every day was 1.8 million. The momentum was still going fierce!
At nine o'clock in the morning on the fifth day, Huaxia Entertainment's famous music producer, Zhao Kun, posted a strange Weibo on his personal account: [At 9 O'clock tonight, there will be a surprise for you all. Be there, or be square ~ Black Clouds Crew]
Fans were all wondering, a surprise is a surprise, why do you still need to tag (@) Black Clouds Crew?
Who would have known that after five minutes, the crew of Black Clouds actually reposted it!
[Black Clouds crew: [Snicker][Snicker][Snicker] Be there, or be square ~ //Zhao Kun: At 9 O'clock...]
Zhao Kun was a well-known music producer in the Chinese music industry, and he was also the music director of the film Black Clouds. He had produced many albums that surpassed 1 million in sales, so he still had a significant amount of Weibo fans. Even more so, the Black Clouds crew had become increasingly popular recently. Thus, such a mysterious interaction between the two immediately attracted the attention of fans.
In the past few days, the topic of "Lost Wings" had been brought up endlessly by netizens. Each individual who watched Black Clouds couldn't wait to go buy another set of Ling Xiao's albums. At the same time, they also wanted to get the DVD of this movie and the closing song, "Lost Wings".
Therefore, with Zhao Kun and the crew's interaction, the first reaction of the netizens was: [Could it be related to "Lost Wings"? ! ]
The netizens waited anxiously until nine o'clock in the evening. This full 12 hours of anticipation pushed the #LostWings# tag into the top ten of the day. Then, when Zhao Kun posted the Weibo exactly on time, the fans instantly exploded! (Original: boiled up)
[Zhao Kun: There is a song called Yearning, there is a song worth waiting for forever! Rong Xu, Black Clouds Crew, a butterfly that had lost its wings, let us return it to the blue sky together! [Video Link]]
