Jiang Hua posted the video of the spinning hug on Douyin.
Of course, he didn't post it using his own account. It was very successful, with the music of "Casting Hexagrams" playing in the background.
It was very fun to watch the two girls hugging and spinning together. It felt really exciting.
Both were powerhouse opera performers. One specialized in young male roles. With stage makeup on, she looked very handsome and cool.
Even Jiang Hua paled in comparison beside her. It was mainly due to the contrast.
At most, he was just a Zhang Chengyan in Hangzhou, but Chen Lijun could be salty or sweet.
When she wasn't wearing makeup, she was a true sweet girl.
Li Yunxiao's Jin Xiangyu was charming without being vulgar, enchanting without being seductive.
This kind of CP attracted a lot of fans.
Without realizing it, Jiang Hua had been here for over two months. He liked it here.
Everyone was either in the practice room or the theater, rarely having time for themselves.
But the feeling of being close like a family, Jiang Hua felt this was the ideal job.
"Jun Jun, you're famous, haha."
Jiang Hua never dreamed that Chen Lijun would become popular so suddenly, but it wasn't the JunXiao CP.
He opened the video. The traffic for the JunXiao spinning hug CP was huge, but compared to another video, it was nothing.
The full video was of Jiang Hua teaching Chen Lijun how to do the spinning hug.
The two handsome guys standing together were really pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Hua was wearing a long robe, a head taller than Chen Lijun. Chen Lijun was wearing an Eastern Depot performance costume, looking like a very handsome young man.
But then the tone changed. Jiang Hua hugged Chen Lijun with one arm and spun her around twice.
Chen Lijun seemed a little shy, but still listened attentively.
Damn, the JunXiao CP didn't take off, but the JiangJun CP did first.
Two men spinning in circles was really funny.
Who was Jiang Hua? All 11 of his songs topped the Douyin song charts. Of the top 10, 8 were his songs.
He had the biggest traffic on Douyin now.
"Who, who posted my video online?"
Jiang Hua was anxious. This CP had gone off track. He was now at the center of a public opinion storm.
Just look at the comment section. The tone had been totally skewed.
"Nice, love watching it. Can you post more videos?"
"Haha, Jiang Hua spun the other person around three times with one hand. How much strength does that take?"
"Has no one noticed? The one Jiang Hua is hugging is a girl. She's already shy."
"We never ship heterosexual CP. Only male-male CP is true love."
The tone started going off track from here.
Li Yunxiao hurriedly took out her phone and opened her Douyin account.
99+ unread messages.
890,000 fans. Last night, her fans hadn't even broken 10,000.
"Ah, I forgot, I set it to be visible only to myself. It's over, it's over."
She really loved shipping CP. When watching idol dramas, she shipped all kinds of CP.
This time, she also fell in love with the JiangJun CP. Afraid it wasn't safe stored on her phone, to tease Jiang Hua with later.
So she posted it on Douyin, setting it to be visible only to herself.
"Oh no, it's over."
The video had over 10 million views and over 2 million likes.
Jiang Hua looked at her angrily, "Li Yunxiao, you really don't put people at ease at all."
Li Yunxiao explained in a low voice, "I really did set it to private."
"Hmph."
Jiang Hua was so angry he messed up her hair. This disrupted his plans.
"Quick look, JunXiao is also on the hot search."
Thank goodness, the 200 yuan he invested in traffic wasn't wasted.
The video of JunXiao's spinning hug was also pushed to the top of the hot search.
The comment section was looking great.
"Haha, come look, I discovered a treasure. Isn't this the man Jiang Hua hugged? Now he's hugging another woman. Quick, go call Jiang Hua."
"@Jiang Hua, come look, your person ran away."
They really loved watching the show and didn't mind stirring up trouble. But the ultimate goal was achieved. As long as the two of them became popular.
If more people paid attention to excellent performers and in turn paid attention to Yue opera itself, that was his hope.
Jiang Hua pointed at Li Yunxiao, "Hmph, you almost ruined my plan. You have to treat me and Jun Jun to a meal."
"Alright, alright."
...
The art troupe had two pairs of CP, one male-male CP and one female-female CP.
Even Director Cai was dumbfounded by this bizarre situation.
Yue opera had a tradition of CP, but just look at this. Jiang Hua even hyped himself into a CP.
As netizens dug deeper, quite a bit of material was uncovered about these two CP.
Like Jiang Hua looking at Jun Jun dotingly while Yunxiao rolled her eyes on the side.
This evil wind kept blowing stronger. The already packed Butterfly Theater couldn't handle it.
Finally, with everyone's efforts, Yue opera broke out of its circle. In addition to "New Dragon Gate Inn", other classic Yue operas were also brought back on stage.
Tickets were truly hard to get.
There were even scalpers. In the midst of this commotion, the Yue opera world wasn't prepared at all.
Jiang Hua was just a small employee. What he could do was help Yue opera break out. The rest was up to the higher-ups.
"Ah, Jun Jun, hubby-sis."
"Yunxiao, your hubby ran off with Jiang Hua."
Now they had people cheering for them when they went to work. The traffic had arrived.
The teachers at the art troupe were all stunned. Jiang Hua worked here, there, everywhere.
He really made it happen. At first, people only came for Jiang Hua, but now it was great.
Quite a few people also came for these two CP.
"Director Cai, I've completed my task. Now it's up to you."
This traffic came out of nowhere, but the schedule was already full. They even added another show at night.
People just couldn't get enough.
Then go to other theaters. There were quite a few theaters in Hangzhou.
The Butterfly Theater was just an experimental theater. Newly staged Yue operas were usually performed in this theater.
"Jiang Hua, you go with Team B to the Hangzhou Grand Theater."
Damn, this was tying the CP together. Team B was Jun Jun and Xiao's team.
Now they had to split up and take action.
Jiang Hua didn't even get to protest before being shoved onto a bus.
This time it really blew up. They were even performing at the Grand Theater. In the past, they often ran to the countryside.
"Jiang Hua, come sit with your Xiao-jie. Recently I love shipping you two CP. Might as well have you and your Xiao-jie form a CP too."
"Yes, yes, yes, we have high hopes for the HuaYun CP."
Xie Yan, who was born in the 80s, always liked to act like an older sister, but was never serious.
Now she was taking the lead in shipping CP again.
Li Yunxiao crossed her legs and sat by the window, looking a bit unhappy.
Chen Lijun also didn't go coax her own wife.
Did a bro have to help coax for him?
"Ahem, let me tell you, I'm just a temporary member. Maintain your own CP yourselves."
Jiang Hua moved to the back. When a woman was unhappy, you had to avoid her a bit.
"What, now that you're a big star, you know to avoid suspicion?"
This Xie Yan really loved to watch the show and didn't mind stirring up trouble.
"What kind of star am I? You all are the leads today."
Jiang Hua took the opportunity to sit next to Li Yunxiao and took out a book from his bag to read.
Li Yunxiao was very curious and quietly peeked at it.
She burst out laughing with a "pfft".
"Everyone come look, the big star is reading 'Successful Cases of Latching Onto Rich Women'."
