151: Chapter 151, "The Wandering Blade," is scheduled for release.

After a long phone call with his mother, Lin Chuyan finally managed to appease her once he promised to "do his best to take the relationship a step further."

However, when she heard Lin Chuyan say that the clothes, watch, and other gifts he received last Lunar New Year were all from Ruan Xingyu, she became restless again on the other end of the line.

Afterward, when Lin Chuyan tried to send them money, it was flatly refused. Su Lanxin's tone was one of exasperation, as if she wished she could woo the girl for him: "We have enough! Since you're so rich, you should buy more things for your girlfriend! Spend more on her! Don't be stingy with your money!"

"I am spending it! I buy her gifts all the time, okay? I've even already bought the gift for the next time I see her!"

Thus, another round of appeasement followed.

Fortunately, he didn't mention that he had also received a car from Ruan Xingyu, otherwise he definitely would have been scolded to death.

After hanging up, Lin Chuyan scrolled through Weibo and discovered that Fruit TV had specially released a teaser, announcing that the next episode of "happy re-departure" would feature a mysterious guest, with the keywords: male guest, high attractiveness, and great Singing Ability.

The comments section was filled with guesses about who it could be, but the keywords were practically useless. After all, in the eyes of fans, their own idols are always handsome and have amazing Singing Ability.

To be honest, these three keywords were not as good as one sharp netizen's comment: "What a load of nonsense keywords. The scope is too broad; it's like saying nothing at all. They just come up with useless things. If you ask me, since the next episode of 'happy re-departure' is filming in Yunnan Province, just look at whose schedule is there right now, and you'll know, right?"

"That makes sense! The question is: who is over there?"

So, another round of speculation began, and soon someone mentioned Lin Chuyan.

Although he hadn't attended the opening ceremony for "the long season," the press releases definitely mentioned him, and the marketing accounts wouldn't let him off the hook either, so everyone knew he was filming in Yunnan Province.

"It's definitely not him. This kid only knows how to film, film, film, completely disregarding the lives of his fans. He wouldn't go on a show like this."

"Maybe he's promoting his new album? Didn't he say he finished recording it?"

"Finished recording and still hasn't released it? Is he saving it for the New Year?"

"Exactly, he just says whatever he wants. Just because he says it's recorded, does that mean it is? I think he's just giving his fans empty promises!"

Lin Chuyan ignored it. Since Fruit TV called it a mysterious guest, he would just let it stay mysterious.

However, one piece of news caught his attention, occupying the number one spot on the trending list, closely followed by the word "Explosive."

Lin Chuyan felt helpless watching it. As expected, even on Blue Star, such bastardly things still happen.

A few days later, Wu Yue came to his room to chat.

"I heard your movie 'the hovering blade' is about to be released."

"Really? That's much faster than I imagined."

"It's because of that trending topic."

Wu Yue had children at home. Since becoming a father, he inevitably felt a sense of dread when facing such news, appearing even more indignant than Lin Chuyan.

"Yeah, I hope this small film can contribute to society becoming better, making at least a tiny bit of difference. If it does that, then the film wasn't made in vain."

Wu Yue nodded: "Although it's a coincidence, the release window is actually decent. It's catching the summer season, and students are on break. I feel like the box office should be okay, at least it won't be too bad."

"I hope so."

Lin Chuyan shrugged. In reality, once a film is finished, aside from helping with promotions, it's a thing of the past for an actor. The salary has already been collected, so it doesn't matter much.

But that applies to other actors; for Lin Chuyan, it was truly different.

You have to realize, this was his first big-screen movie since "hunting blue star," marking his return to the audience's view.

How many Haters were watching this point? If the box office flopped again, how would he be evaluated? He didn't even dare to think about it.

The label "box office poison" would probably be slapped on him immediately.

Wu Yue patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. Box office is something where you do your best and leave the rest to fate. Good films having low box office, bad films becoming box office champions—these things are all too normal..."

Lin Chuyan certainly understood this logic, but he was just anxious because he cared. He smiled: "It's fine. I'm not the male lead this time, so it wouldn't make much sense to blame me. Besides, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that I'll act well every time."

It was at this moment that the official Weibo account for "the hovering blade" posted.

"The crimes committed face judgment; the angry revenge reaches its final chapter. Let malice end with a cry, and let the voices of the victims be heard by more people! #The movie 'the hovering blade' is set for release on June 15#"

Below the post was a release date poster. Zhao Jinpeng and Zhang Wentang were positioned on the left and right sides of the top of the poster; one had a pained expression, shouting silently, while the other had a serious expression, holding a gun.

Below on the poster were silhouettes of stills featuring Actress Xin Ya, Meng Xinle, Su He, and Lin Chuyan, with each person's face showing a different expression.

Because of Zhao Jinpeng, quite a lot of people were paying attention to this film. After all, this was his first film as a male lead in several years, and the outside world was relatively looking forward to his performance.

However, Lin Chuyan's rise was a bit fast, and slowly, people also began to look forward to his performance.

Especially with the hit drama "drama," everyone discovered that he had acting skills, which made him even more of a topic of conversation.

Now that the release date was posted on Weibo, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

"Zhao Jinpeng's new film is being released so quickly? What's it about?"

"It's 'the hovering blade,' adapted from a novel. The story content is similar to this social incident."

"Huh? Isn't that just riding on the hype? That's not good, right..."

"Lin Chuyan is also in this film; it's said he plays the criminal in it."

"Then riding the hype is understandable; that guy loves to ride the hype."

Those holding this view were not in the minority, and if you had to say it, it wasn't exactly wrong.

However, Lin Chuyan felt that regarding this social incident, what people could currently see were mostly reports and other written texts.

If, if the film could truly play a small role in letting everyone more intuitively feel the evil of the criminal, thereby inciting greater indignation and attention, then riding the hype was not a problem.

Involving film promotion, Lin Chuyan naturally had to post on Weibo to help. The film production side provided a unified script, but he discussed it with the director, and after obtaining permission, he sent it out using his own words.

"12 years old, 42 years old, 82 years old... No matter the age, it is never a reason to harm others. The tragedy in the film story cannot be mended, but for the regrets in real life, it is not yet too late to stop them from happening."
