177: Promotion for "Goodbye Mr. Loser"!

Yang Mi sat at the dining table, looking at the spread of dishes.

Her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Old Chen, you're so good to me, cooking for me," Yang Mi said, somewhat moved.

"Isn't it normal to cook for my wife?" Chen Le teased with a smile.

"What wife? We haven't even gotten married yet." Hearing Chen Le's words, Yang Mi's face turned red as she spoke with embarrassment.

"Isn't it just a matter of time? A wife-to-be counts as a wife too." Chen Le teased her again.

"Oh, stop it. Let's eat." Yang Mi's ears turned red, and she didn't continue the argument with Chen Le.

Chen Le saw Yang Mi's embarrassed look and smiled.

He then sat down to eat.

After the meal, Yang Mi looked at Chen Le, her eyes full of expectation.

"Mi Mi, why are you looking at me?" Chen Le asked somewhat warily.

"Don't you think we should do something in a bit?" Yang Mi said with a smile in her eyes.

"Do what? Watch TV?" Chen Le pretended not to understand.

"Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending?" Yang Mi was getting a bit anxious.

She hadn't seen Chen Le for so long; as a normal person, she naturally had needs.

Hearing this, Chen Le stopped teasing her.

He pulled Yang Mi back to the bedroom.

"Hey, I haven't showered yet."

"It's fine. You'll have to shower again anyway, so we might as well do it later."

...A sleepless night.

It was past ten in the morning when the two of them finally woke up.

"Old Chen, why are you up so early?" Yang Mi's voice sounded somewhat lazy and sweet.

"The sun is already shining on your backside, and you call this early?" Chen Le shook his head helplessly.

"I'm going to sleep a bit longer. I'm too tired. How do you have such good stamina? You're still energetic after tossing around for so long?" Yang Mi was still so sleepy she couldn't open her eyes.

She hadn't been asleep for long when she realized Chen Le was awake.

"It's fine, go back to sleep. I have things to do." Chen Le nodded.

He then got up and, after washing up...

...went to the office to get busy.

The promotion for Goodbye Mr. Loser was in full swing.

However, except for Li Liqun and Tian Yu, the other actors in the Film Crew were all newcomers with little fame.

Especially the lead pair, Shen Teng and Ma Li.

They had only performed in stage plays before and had never acted in movies or tv series.

So when netizens saw them, their first reaction was: Who are these two? I have no impression of them at all; I don't know them.

On the internet, the discussion about the main cast members like Shen Teng and Ma Li was very lively.

Netizens searched for information for a long time but only found details for Li Liqun and the other veteran, knowing nothing about the rest.

"Why don't I recognize the leads of Goodbye Mr. Loser? They must be newcomers, right?"

"Using newcomers as leads—that's just like Director Chen Le."

"lost on journey also used newcomer actors back then. I had never even heard of someone like Wang Baoqiang, but now Wang Baoqiang has exploded in popularity."

"Chen Le really likes using newcomers. But it doesn't matter; newcomers are interesting. It would be boring if every movie had the same familiar faces."

"Maybe these two newcomers will also explode in popularity with one movie. Isn't that what happened with Wang Baoqiang?"

"I have confidence in Director Chen Le's new movie. I'll definitely go see it on opening day!"

While the netizens were discussing, the people involved, like Shen Teng and Ma Li, were also following the news online.

When they saw themselves being discussed by netizens, Shen Teng and Ma Li were stunned.

At this time, in the apartment arranged by the company, Shen Teng and Ma Li were sitting in front of a computer, looking at the netizens' discussion threads.

"Old Shen, we're about to become famous!" Ma Li said excitedly.

"Right? Our boss is amazing; he can generate so much hype just with promotion." Shen Teng had a smile on his face.

"Sigh, I just don't know how much the box office will be once the movie is released." Ma Li suddenly sighed, feeling a bit worried about the new movie's box office.

"What's the rush? Have some faith in the boss. I think the box office for the movie we filmed definitely won't be bad." Shen Teng was quite confident.

"I'm just a little worried, I believe in the boss too." Hearing Shen Teng's words, Ma Li quickly explained.

"We're lucky. This time, we might be able to ride the boss's coattails and explode in popularity in one go," Shen Teng said with a chuckle.

"Old Shen, have you been dreaming too much? It's daytime. Why are you daydreaming?" Ma Li said with a speechless expression.

"Hey, how is this daydreaming? Wang Baoqiang exploded in popularity with one movie back then; why can't we?" Shen Teng used Wang Baoqiang as an example.

"Wang Baoqiang... how can an example like his be so easy to come by? Before him, how many people have you seen suddenly explode in popularity like that?" Ma Li was startled by Shen Teng's confident manner.

Because Shen Teng really dared to dream!

"Even if they're few, they exist. Even a salted fish has dreams of turning over," Shen Teng continued.

"Sigh, I hope so." Hearing Shen Teng's statement, Ma Li didn't say anything more.

After all, she had her own dreams back then, but after struggling in society for so many years, they had mostly been worn away.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she actually didn't dare to think about it.

On the other side, Yin Zheng and Wang Zhi also noticed the promotion for Goodbye Mr. Loser.

After all, it was overwhelming promotion; trending news would be pushed to them without them even looking for it.

Especially those news media outlets, with all sorts of exaggerated, eye-catching titles.

Such as "Director Chen Le's new work Goodbye Mr. Loser is about to be released, using newcomer actors—will he create another miracle?"

"Beijing Film Academy's Genius Director Chen Le's new work Goodbye Mr. Loser uses newcomers—is it confidence or conceit?"

"Genius Director Chen Le's new work Goodbye Mr. Loser has newcomers as leads—the next Wang Baoqiang?"

These titles not only attracted the attention of netizens but also caught the eyes of the main cast members.

As the release date drew closer, they also became very nervous.

After all, Shen Teng, Ma Li, and Yin Zheng were all filming this kind of movie for the first time, and it was a movie by the Great Director Chen Le.

As the promotion continued, over at Ning Hao's Film Crew...

...Zhang Songwen also came across the news about the upcoming release of Goodbye Mr. Loser.

"Songwen, what news are you looking at?" Ning Hao asked curiously when he saw Zhang Songwen looking at his phone.

"Director Yu, my boss's new movie is about to be released," Zhang Songwen said with a smile.

"Director Chen's new movie is about to be released? So soon? I only heard that he just finished filming a while ago, and now it's already being released? Is the release date set?" Ning Hao's face showed a shocked expression when he heard Chen Le's new movie was coming out.

He had been filming his movie for several months now, and he had started only a bit later than Goodbye Mr. Loser, yet they were already releasing theirs while he hadn't even finished filming.

Comparing yourself to others really is infuriating.

"It doesn't seem to be set yet. They say August, but it should be soon." Zhang Songwen nodded.

"It has to be Director Chen! I can't even begin to hope to match his filming speed," Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh.
