Chapter 103
Actually, when a film is first released, the score is basically at its highest.
It's not just films; TV dramas are the same.
The producers have to control the score to some extent to recoup costs as much as possible.
Unless it's truly too rotten, forcing them to let go of all restraint.
Like that film "The Dream of Acting" by Director Bi...
Zhao Jinmai was also briefly taken along by Xu Feng for the roadshow, though he didn't intend for her to develop a long-term career abroad.
But getting some gold-plating is nice, isn't it? Don't many rich kids like to play this game?
Then, very soon, Xu Feng had his assistant send her back.
The main stars of the roadshow were still Xu Feng himself, Timothée Chalamet, and others.
Then, something that left Xu Feng with a head full of question marks happened.
[Is Timothée suspected to be Xu Feng's boy toy?]
When Xu Feng saw this entry on the Google trending list, he was instantly hit with a "yellow man question mark" face.
What the hell?
And a "boy toy," for God's sake?
Do Westerners play that hard?
In the end, Xu Feng couldn't help himself and clicked in to take a look.
The article pointed out that Timothée...
After all, with so many Hollywood stars, why would Xu Feng choose him?
And in a place like Hollywood, where people are constantly hooking up, how could a twenty-year-old, hot-blooded guy have no scandals?
It's confirmed, he must be Xu Feng's boy toy!
Xu Feng is bisexual!
And yet, quite a few foreigners actually believed it.
Most of them were "shipping" fans of Aizen and Ulquiorra, or Light Yagami and L.
Xu Feng was speechless on the spot.
Anyone who has been in the ACG circle knows how powerful fujoshi (female fans of boys' love) are.
Naruto and Sasuke, Zoro and Sanji, Jotaro and Kakyoin...
They can twist simple camaraderie into a gay romance.
The key is that their purchasing power is truly insane.
So much so that many creators in his past life deliberately catered to them.
Drawing male-male fan service specifically for them.
What Xu Feng remembers most vividly is "Kuroko's Basketball"; at first, it was just a sports anime with superpowers.
But I don't know when it started, the "BL" vibes just kept getting heavier.
Especially the plot involving Kuroko, Kagami, and Aomine—it inexplicably felt like a love triangle.
Xu Feng couldn't help but think of himself and Timothée...
Aizen and Ulquiorra are fine, but the problem is that in the second half of "Death Note," Light Yagami and L really do have some scenes that easily make fujoshi let their imaginations run wild.
If they film those, won't these fujoshi take them as truth?
After touring Europe, the crew returned to the Lighthouse Nation for the roadshow.
After all, that's where the most money is.
On the plane, noticing Xu Feng's dark expression, Timothée...
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"A lot of people online are saying you're gay."
Xu Feng glanced at the guy.
"Oh? Really?"
Xu Feng narrowed his eyes: "Why the hell are you acting all shy!?"
"Huh? No, this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood. If you don't find a girlfriend, these things easily happen."
Timothée indicated that this level of gossip was nothing; after all, there are quite a few real gay people in Hollywood.
That actress who played the second female lead in "Inception" with Leonardo directly transitioned.
In his past life, Xu Feng was stunned when he saw that news; he thought she looked quite pretty when he watched "Inception."
A little beauty directly turned into a little guy.
But what Xu Feng couldn't stand was...
"Motherfucker, they're saying your partner is me!"
Xu Feng roared.
"What!?"
Timothée jumped three feet high instantly.
Then he took out his phone, searched for it, and a few seconds later, with a bitter face, he timidly said:
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"I'll replace you in the next film, so they don't keep saying you got the role because you sold your ass to me."
Xu Feng said flatly.
"No, don't! BOSS!"
Timothée...
"Don't you dare touch me!"
Xu Feng almost couldn't resist kicking him.
Perhaps influenced by those rumors, now when he saw this kid's face, he inexplicably felt that the kid really had the potential to be a boy toy.
"Feng, should I kiss you in public at the next roadshow to prove it?"
Megan...
Xu Feng directly stated it would be useless; after all, these foreigners are saying he himself is bisexual.
It's just damn absurd...
But that's impossible.
Although Xu Feng has the ambitions of an overlord, he has no interest in raising someone else's child.
In any case, once this haul is finished, he'll hurry back home to enjoy life.
"Hahaha! Homosexual!"
At the same time, in front of a cinema in the Lighthouse Nation, the "Fairy Sister" was about to enter when she swiped across the news and was so amused she couldn't find north.
"Xixi, it's almost time to go in. Keep your mask on tight."
Liu Xiaoli reminded her.
"We don't need to be so cautious, do we? Anyway, not many people recognize me here in the Lighthouse Nation."
Liu Yifei muttered softly.
Aside from her acting and box office appeal, Liu Yifei actually had a surprisingly clear self-awareness about other things.
"Take a good look around you."
Reminded by her mother, Liu Yifei looked around.
Whoa!
There really were quite a few Eastern faces.
That's right, they were all people who had come abroad to watch the film during the holiday.
It was almost comparable to those foreigners in Xu Feng's past life who ran to China to watch "Avengers: Infinity War" early because it was released there first, before running back to the Lighthouse Nation.
"I want to see what kind of thing he's filmed..."
When entering, Liu Yifei, wearing a mask and a beret with only her eyes visible, muttered to herself.
