Chapter 969 - Mr. Fu Is Really Handsome
Originally, Song Yao had thought that she would hear Cen Mo’s even more furious voice. But the bathroom door suddenly opened. Song Yao paused in surprise. Before she could look up, her arm was grabbed by a large hand, and she was pulled into the bathroom full of hot steam.
…
When news of Fu Huai’an acting as the stunt double to a nobody actor was exposed, the response on the internet was vigorous.
Director Yang Rui nabbed the opportunity and admitted that Fu Huai’an was the stunt double on the official Weibo of “Eagles on the Sea”. He also released the photo of Fu Huai’an coming out of the temporary dressing room after he changed into the costume, plus a short video of Fu Huai’an descending from the helicopter. All of that was released, on top of the photo that had already been released earlier, the one of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an embracing each other on the helicopter’s soft ladder amidst the sunset.
Once news from the official source was released, accompanied by photos and videos, Fu Huai’an garnered countless new fans. Fangirls who were already fans of his prior to this nearly went crazy. Lin Nuan’s and Fu Huai’an’s Weibo accounts both exploded with comments…
[@Sweetie Pie: I had a nosebleed the minute I saw the photo. Would you believe I ignored the nosebleed and knelt down to finish watching the video of him descending from the helicopter?]
[@Flying Little Female Co: Strongly request that Ms. Lin Nuan and Brother-in-law film this movie. I won’t accept Brother-in-law acting as a mere stunt double, I want Brother-in-law to be the male lead!]
[@Alcohol and meat pass through the intestines, but the soul remains in one’s heart: I don’t understand the world of rich people, but Mr. Fu is really handsome. Respect!]
[@Little heart: Strongly request for my hubby to be the male lead! Why should my hubby be the stunt double for some other actor? My hubby trumps over all other actors in an instant, okay?]
[@Peach-colored little peach: I’ve seen photos of hubby with camouflage paint previously. But today, seeing hubby in army attire and no camouflage paint over his face, he’s so handsome I’m unable to close my legs!]
[@Kaide Corporation’s Woman 122: Ah ah ah ah ah… My hubby is so handsome! I never expected my hubby to look so dashing after taking off his suit and putting on a combat uniform! How can such a handsome man exist in this world! Lin Nuan, I’m going to duel you, return my hubby to me!]
[@Ping pong ball: Damn! Since I became a fan of President Fu, even a manly man like me is willing to be President Fu’s hardcore fan!]
Even Shu Xin retweeted the production crew’s Weibo post…
[@Shu Xin: My Ms. Lin Nuan is the best! Is Ms. Lin Nuan’s schedule full? Strongly inviting you and your husband to act in “Only Love You for the Rest of My Life”.]
Underneath Shu Xin’s Weibo, fans of the novel excitedly agreed with Shu Xin’s words… hoping that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an would act in “Only Love You for the Rest of My Life”.
In Shu Xin’s novel “Only Love You for the Rest of My Life”, the male lead, Shen Moqing, was a special forces soldier. Never mind how dashing Fu Huai’an looked as he descended from the helicopter, just looking at the photo of Fu Huai’an in his combat uniform, with his helmet under his armpit as he exited the temporary dressing room, was enough to make the fans of the original novel hotblooded… claiming that Fu Huai’an was the only one who could act as Shen Moqing.
Some people also hoped Su Manman, the winner of the Best Actress Award, and Shi Hanchu, the winner of the Best Actor Award, would act in the movie, saying that Shi Hanchu had the same aloof and arrogant quality as Shen Moqing.
Amidst all the ranting that had exploded on the web, the most comments were asking for Fu Huai’an to replace the male lead of the movie “Eagles on the Sea”!
Fu Huai’an had well-defined and deep features, exuded a natural sense of righteousness, and had a masculine and hormonal aura that went over the roof. Just one look from him was enough to make one hotblooded, making people feel that was the way special forces soldiers should look!
Even the official Weibo of the Kaide Corporation was in chaos, brimming with comments from fans hoping that Fu Huai’an could act in “Eagles on the Sea”.
The official Weibo of the Kaide Corporation expressed its helplessness. Their chairman was too good at garnering attention for the Kaide Corporation! No one would have thought that merely being a stunt double would make the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo explode with comments.
Later, the administrator of the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo meekly went online and released a post…
[@Kaide Corporation’s Official Weibo: Big brothers, big sisters, misters, and misses, I’m but the humble administrator of Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo. I truly dare not manage the Kaide Corporation’s chairman, Mr. Fu. I beg everyone to let me off…]
For some reason, many people felt that the comment made by the administrator of the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo was adorable, so while people left comments expressing their understanding and sympathy, the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo took the opportunity to solicit a large number of fans.
Back when Director Yang Rui decided to release this post from the official Weibo account, he hadn’t thought of this, that there would be so many people asking for Fu Huai’an to replace the male lead!
When the assistant director handed the tablet to Director Yang Rui, he was astonished to see nearly all of the tens of thousands of comments asking for the replacement of the male lead.
The male lead, who was already under a lot of pressure because of Fu Huai’an, was under even more stress when he saw the news on Weibo…
As he looked at his swollen legs, he felt especially upset.
If he hadn’t gotten injured and hadn’t let Fu Huai’an be his stunt double, none of this would be happening.
In the hotel, the male lead covered himself with a blanket and bit the corner of it. He felt such immense pressure that it was as if a mountain was pinned on top of him, making him unable to get up.
After the discussion got heated up about the replacement of the male lead, someone even dug out an interview that Director Yang Rui’s good friend Director Li did, in which he accidentally revealed that the female lead in “Eagles on the Sea”, Lan Yu, was created based on Chu Xun…
Director Li said that in 2014, in order to follow up on a lead into human trafficking on the black market, Chu Xun had infiltrated into the terrorists’ territory and was later rescued by the special forces. This was where the inspiration for the movie’s female lead, Lan Yu, came from.
Fang Yan had asked her agency’s employees to pay close attention to news about Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, or Chu Xun on Baidu Tieba and Weibo. Now that this video was dug out, Fang Yan instructed the publicity people managing Weibo in her agency to cautiously use a dummy account and edit the post, releasing it six hours later… claiming that Chu Xun should be the one to act in this role.
Originally, Fang Yan had planned to keep this and promote the movie right before it showed in theaters. However, she hadn’t expected Yang Rui’s friend, Director Li… to have already revealed the fact that Lan Yu’s character was created based on Chu Xun in an interview before Lin Nuan was even finalized to be the actress for the role.
Fang Yan had no choice but to release the long Weibo post that she had prepared in advance ahead of her previous plans.
She chose to publish the post hours later because she hoped to wait until the masses suggested that Chu Xun should be the one to act out this role. If they released a logical long Weibo post backed by evidence at that point, it wouldn’t appear suspicious. It would then receive a tremendous response and help them achieve their aim.
Having been a manager for so many years, Fang Yan’s ability to deal with crises had already become instinctive. Since she already held something that could propel Lin Nuan to the altar, Fang Yan didn’t need to stand on ceremony…
