436: The trailer for Chapter 436 also clashed.
The sun outside the window had already set, leaving only a hint of residual heat to ferment in the room.
The air inside the room was suddenly ignited, becoming thick and heavy; every inch of space was permeated with the unique, sweltering breath of summer.
The window glass was baked hot, its surface seemingly veiled in a thin layer of heat, as if it had been gently kissed by the summer's intensity, leaving a faint trace behind.
Everything in the room appeared languid and quiet, save for the ticking of the clock on the wall.
Steady and clear, beat by beat, it felt like the only rhythm in the summer, even carrying a touch of melody.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze would slip in from outside, lightly stroking his back with warmth and tenderness.
Even though night had fallen and the temperature should have been lower than during the day, the temperature inside this room seemed to be constantly climbing, causing the very air to warp.
The quilt lay on the floor, as if silently protesting the sweltering heat of summer.
The entire world was enveloped in this heat; time became slow and lingering in such an atmosphere, as if everything was immersed in endless sweltering heat, waiting for a cool salvation.
However, what awaited was another kind of scalding heat.
Ruan Xingyu lightly patted his back: "It's so hot, why haven't you turned on the air conditioning?"
Lin Chuyan remained motionless: "I don't think you're supposed to turn on the air conditioning immediately after intense exercise, right?"
"You had intense exercise, I certainly didn't."
Lin Chuyan began to chuckle in her ear: "That's where you're wrong, Ruan Xingyu. Do you still want to lose weight or not? Where is your professionalism as a female celebrity? You can never forget about losing weight! I've told you so many times, you need to exercise more in your daily life."
Ruan Xingyu: ???
Lin Chuyan continued to lecture her: "Next time, you'll be on top!"
"You've finally shown your true colors, Brother."
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yes." Ruan Xingyu also spoke in his ear, "Are you that tired, Brother? Can you even handle it?"
"How bold! How dare you mock your boyfriend? You must be severely punished!"
Lin Chuyan could not withstand such provocation and instantly surged forward again.
They had originally intended to have a proper dinner, but as the young couple hadn't seen each other for so long, they dawdled for another hour.
By the time they finished their intimate talk, they checked the time and it was already nine o'clock.
"I'm actually a bit hungry now."
It is indeed easy to feel hungry after exercise.
"I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles!"
Ruan Xingyu volunteered.
"A newly learned skill?"
"...Instant noodles!"
Well, after enjoying themselves for so long, it was only right to reward the other person, right?
As for other types of noodles? Don't even think about it.
Last time, Ruan Xingyu actually tried it once; the noodles went in, the water level suddenly rose rapidly, overflowed the pot, and extinguished the gas stove's flame entirely, nearly scaring her to death.
Moreover, it took a long time before the gas stove could be turned on again... Ruan Xingyu even thought she had managed to break the gas stove just by boiling noodles.
"Do you want to check if the instant noodles at home have expired first?"
Ruan Xingyu would occasionally see others eating them and get a craving, so she couldn't help but buy some.
But they were both busy, so they rarely had the chance to eat them after buying them.
"They're about to expire."
"That works, cook two more packs; let's eat more before they expire."
Lin Chuyan hadn't expected that there would even be an egg added to the instant noodles.
In Ruan Xingyu's words, this was called a 'love egg'.
After finishing the instant noodles filled with love, the two finally had the chance to talk about other things.
Ruan Xingyu proactively brought up la la land.
"These next few days, you have to practice the Dance with me until I've mastered it."
"Sure. Is the choreography teacher there? I should be able to offer some suggestions."
Regarding the Dance, there were many original movements in the storyboard, and Lin Chuyan would try his best to restore them based on that.
"Yes, we're just waiting for you."
"Alright then, let's do the morning; I have an appointment with the band teacher in the afternoon."
"Also, Teacher Wentang said I'm ready to graduate."
Ruan Xingyu's expression was a bit smug.
This really exceeded Lin Chuyan's expectations: was his girlfriend's acting really that good?
"He said my daily acting is quite good, and I just need one movie to prove myself!"
This was an unexpected delight.
Lin Chuyan was already fantasizing: what does it mean to have the skills of a boyfriend? Does filming a movie and letting his girlfriend win a 'Best Newcomer' award count? That's what you call awesome, right?
There's a chance, there's definitely a chance.
Morning rehearsing Dance, afternoon rehearsing songs, evening rehearsing with his girlfriend.
They had agreed to rest for a few days, but this life had inexplicably become full again.
Just like that, two days passed, and creation of the gods 2 indeed released its trailer.
Lin Chuyan didn't have time to pay attention, so Wu Yue directly forwarded the video to his phone.
"Take a look! It killed me with laughter."
Was it that funny? After all, it was the so-called epic fantasy blockbuster creation of the gods 2.
Lin Chuyan clicked on it to watch.
Everyone already knew the Creation of the Gods story, so it was just about watching the special effects, the characters, and seeing something novel.
A few minutes later.
Lin Chuyan didn't know what to say.
Not to mention anything else, these Four Generals of the Mo Family...
Lin Chuyan hadn't even started to roast it yet when Wu Yue spoke first: "These Four Generals of the Mo Family have zero sense of intimidation. Is it too much to call them short, ugly, and poor? I remember these four were also in black myth: wukong, and at least they looked pretty awesome, right?"
Lin Chuyan's roast was late but arrived: "Where are these the Four Heavenly Kings? These are the four beasts of burden, right? They look exactly like beasts of burden waiting to get off work after a night shift, why are their faces so exhausted?"
"Let's congratulate creation of the gods 2 in advance."
Wu Yue was already popping champagne, and it was unclear why he was so unable to stand this film; perhaps it was because Director Yu Jin had rejected Yanzi's audition back then?
However, Lin Chuyan didn't quite dare to say such things.
People who often engage in trash-talking, making bold statements, and betting know that the more you do so, the more cautious you have to be.
What if? What if their story is actually good? What if the audience doesn't care about these cheap special effects?
However, he soon didn't have to worry about this problem.
The trailer for lotus lantern actually dropped at the same time.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence."
The lotus lantern crew had always been low-key; they didn't even notify Lin Chuyan to repost the trailer when they released it.
However, because of Lin Chuyan, it couldn't be low-key even if it wanted to.
Countless fans were paying attention.
The Weibo post for the trailer had only one sentence:
[The Three Realms are in turmoil, the war between gods and demons never ends!]
The trailer was also very short.
Forsaking the disjointed editing of creation of the gods 2, lotus lantern focused solely on Erlang Shen.
The trailer opened with a majestic scene of the Heavenly Court shrouded in clouds and mist.
Amidst the absolute silence, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps approached from afar.
The camera could only see a pair of feet.
As the camera slowly zoomed in, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, dressed in magnificent silver armor, wearing a Three-Mountain Phoenix-Flying Cap, and holding the three-pointed double-edged spear, exuded a biting aura as he strode out from the clouds and mist.
His gaze was cold and stern, naturally commanding respect without anger; every step seemed to tread upon the pulse of heaven and earth.
The words he spoke also corresponded to the Weibo caption:
"The order of the Three Realms shall be guarded by me."
This couldn't just be called sonorous; Lin Chuyan's voice had sound effects added to it, as if it were echoing throughout the Three Realms.
Wu Yue's message came through again: "It's over, creation of the gods 2 is really over. Let's congratulate this jerk."
