Chapter 1102 The whole world kissed him
At the press conference for the start of filming of "You Are My Glory", many well-known media outlets were present.

Both the media and ordinary viewers are paying close attention to the fact that Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi, this popular on-screen couple, are teaming up again to star in a romance drama.

After Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi appeared, the press conference became a lively affair.

Before Su Yu could continue introducing the TV series, everyone looked like they wanted to skip this segment and start interviewing Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi.

Clearly, they had prepared many questions to ask before arriving at the press conference.

After Jiang Yuan and Su Yu sat down together, Su Yu began to introduce the TV series according to the established procedure.

The introduction wasn't very specific; it simply explained the preparations made before filming for any collaborations that had been accepted previously.

Furthermore, it gave a general introduction to the production team of the TV series, as well as the fact that Jiang Yuan would be responsible for the soundtrack, and so on.

After the media had taken notes on Su Yu's part, it was time to interview Jiang Yuan and the other person.

After Su Yu asked, "What questions do you all want to ask?", Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi noticed that the reporters at the scene were popping up like gophers.

Seeing the whack-a-mole-like reaction on the scene, Su Yu also smiled.

Sometimes, the media's reaction is enough to tell whether a work will be successful.

The only TV series that has such a grand press conference is the one about to start filming, which is the only one like this.

After all, it's rare for the leading actors in TV dramas to be as big as Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi.

Not to mention that the two were already a very popular couple before they joined the cast. In other TV series that Su Yu filmed, the main couples were only hyped up after the series had been broadcast.

Unlike this time with "Glory", before the interview began, Su Yu had seen Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi exchanging glances more than once, with many seemingly unintentional but very intimate gestures that reflected their close relationship.

Even he himself noticed it, and Su Yu believed that after the press conference ended, many media outlets would make a big deal out of it.

Su Yu was happy to see anything that could generate buzz for the TV series.

Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi had seen similar situations before, with reporters in the audience being so enthusiastic.

So at this point, he calmly took charge of the situation himself and started randomly calling on the media to ask questions and conduct interviews.

"This friend in purple, please go first." Jiang Yuan glanced at the audience and selected a reporter dressed in her support color.

The selected reporter was also delighted. The color of the clothes she wore that day was indeed carefully chosen, and she didn't expect them to come in so handy on the spot.

The other reporters, seeing this person chosen first, felt envious and also marveled at how Jiang Yuan's reputation for spoiling her fans was truly well-deserved.

With so many people present, it has become the unspoken rule that each reporter can only ask one question.

The first reporter in purple to be called stood up, pondered for a moment, and then chose to ask Jiang Yuan a question.

This did not surprise anyone at the scene.

After all, the questions everyone wanted to ask were basically aimed at Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi.

"I'd like to ask Jiang Yuan, was it your own choice to film this TV series with Ye Xuanqi?" the reporter in purple asked.

After asking the question, her gaze followed Jiang Yuan closely, mainly wanting to hear a more definite answer from Jiang Yuan so that when writing the manuscript later, she could directly write that Jiang Yuan had chosen Ye Xuanqi as the female lead.

After hearing the question, Jiang Yuan thought about it for a moment before moving closer to the microphone.

"You want to ask how Xuanqi was chosen as the female lead, right?" Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then rephrased the question.

"Yes." The reporter hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After slightly rephrasing the question, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and began to answer.

"Actually, we had a relatively short preparation time for this TV series."

"It was only in the last few months that I suddenly thought of filming this TV series."

“I remember when we were recording ‘Live Music’ together, we filmed a music video for The Princess together. At that time, I suddenly felt that it would be very suitable to film another TV series.”

"That's how this collaboration came about," Jiang Yuan said, exchanging a glance with Ye Xuanqi, her voice tinged with reminiscence.

The reporter who asked the question showed a satisfied expression upon receiving Jiang Yuan's answer.

Although Jiang Yuan did not directly answer that Ye Xuanqi had been chosen as the female lead, the reporter felt that this statement could be summarized in a similar way.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan's answer added some background to this collaboration.

After Jiang Yuan selected the first reporter, Ye Xuanqi was given the choice to ask the second question.

"I'd like to ask the two lead actors, since as everyone knows, this isn't your first time working together. Do you feel that this collaboration is any different from your previous ones?" The second reporter asked Jiang Yuan and her co-star directly.

Reporters who hadn't yet asked questions all expressed that they had learned something and were eager to see how Jiang Yuan and her companion would answer the question.

"Actually, it's difficult to answer this question because our filming hasn't officially started yet, so it might be hard to say what a different experience it will be like."

Before answering, Jiang Yuan also made a simple joke.

After joking around, he exchanged a glance with Ye Xuanqi before giving a formal answer, "One more obvious possibility is that this time we're filming a TV series, so the time we spend filming together will be longer than before."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, she turned to look at Ye Xuanqi, indicating that she had finished answering.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuanqi nodded in agreement, "Yes, this should be the first time we've filmed together for such a long time."

"Moreover, filming a TV series is something I've never tried before, which is quite a challenge for my acting career."

Ye Xuanqi answered, bringing the topic back to the professional aspects of filming.

However, after that, very few reporters wanted to ask professional questions; they were mostly looking for Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi themselves.

Some reporters even started gossiping about Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi's relationship, asking if it was possible that they might reconcile because they got too into their roles while filming a romance drama.

This was a somewhat inappropriate question at the press conference for the start of filming of the TV series, so Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi both skipped the question and did not respond.

Aside from this minor incident, the questions from the media at the scene were otherwise quite routine.

Most of the questions focused on the chemistry between Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi, but in the second half of the interview, the reporters' questions shifted towards more technical aspects, making the overall atmosphere of the press conference feel more like a typical TV drama press conference. Although this press conference for the start of filming of "Glory" was not broadcast live, it quickly became a trending topic on social media after it ended.

Since the official Weibo account for the TV series was opened, fans of the couple have been closely following the developments of the show.

Even before the TV series officially started filming, Jiang Yuan, Su Yu, and others kept fans informed about the preparation progress online.

Just like this time, the start of filming for the TV series was announced to fans who were following the series a few days in advance.

Knowing that there would be a press conference for the start of filming of a TV series today, fans had been waiting online for related news.

So many media outlets were present and conducted interviews, and many people started writing their articles while they were still at the scene.

So as soon as the press conference ended, press releases related to "You Are My Glory" began to flood the internet.

Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi's answers to some questions also took on a different hue under the embellishment of the media reporters.

In addition to the written descriptions, some video footage from the press conference has also begun circulating online.

Simultaneously, the production team has also launched promotional activities for the drama.

After the press conference, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi received their respective character's official account.

The accounts have all undergone special verification by the platform.

Jiang Yuan even glanced at the Qiao Jingjing account that Ye Xuanqi used and found that it had already started operating officially just a few days after Su Yu received the script.

The updated content is basically stolen from Ye Xuanqi's Weibo posts, including some advertisements from the TV series' sponsors.

It's fair to say that aside from the fact that the account data looks somewhat unrealistic, it's as if the celebrity Qiao Jingjing was actually created through the account.

This official announcement has attracted a surge of traffic to both of their accounts.

Fans of the couple, especially those active in the "Frozen Romance" supertopic, immediately followed both accounts.

In less than a night, the number of followers on both accounts had soared to hundreds of thousands, and were heading towards the million mark.

Without hiring online trolls, such data is truly astonishing.

This data has caused considerable concern among many TV drama producers who are preparing to release their shows this year; they were genuinely alarmed by the performance of these figures.

After all, this was only after the TV series had just been officially announced to have started filming.

Su Yu was busy and happy all night long.

Since the press conference ended, I've been in constant contact with messages and phone calls.

Video websites are eager to secure exclusive streaming rights for the show, and many brands are also approaching them, wanting to integrate their products into the series.

This situation made Su Yu feel very directly what it meant for the whole world to kiss her all at once.

Besides Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi starting to manage their own character accounts, the official game company, which also plays a very important role in the drama, also began to promote it heavily.

Moreover, the game's official team not only posted about the TV series on their account, but also created a dedicated promotional page within the game.

Most guys who play games regularly aren't really interested in these in-game promotional collaborations.

But as it turns out, it sometimes depends on the person.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi are going to film a romance drama, everyone said that this is definitely something to watch.

After all, Jiang Yuan is currently one of the singers with the largest number of listeners in China.

Even those who don't usually follow celebrities will listen to Jiang Yuan's songs.

In addition, many boys are also the target audience for romance dramas, and the pairing of Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi, who already have a good fan base, is indeed loved by many people.

Wow, with this setup, I thought the show was going to start airing tomorrow!

[This is just the start-up phase, and already so many brands are sponsoring it. It's clear the brands know what a real hit looks like.]

[After holding a press conference, the whole world suddenly showered them with attention.]

[Hurry up and film! I can't wait to travel back to the day the TV series airs.]

Oh my god, their interactions at the press conference were so sweet! They even answered questions with such perfect chemistry!

Where this show airs will determine which platform's membership I renew.

[Filming has finally started! This is the movie I've been most looking forward to this year!]

-

With the news that the TV series is about to start filming, fans are discussing related topics enthusiastically, and the situation looks very promising.

Amidst this explosive popularity, the production team officially began filming the following day.

It's rare to see a drama become a hit before filming even begins. I'm also a part of this drama, and on the day filming started, the entire crew was in a very enthusiastic state.

This state is a positive buff for other crew members, but it has a debuff effect on other actors.

The reason for calling "cut" several times in a row was that the actors were too excited in front of the camera, resulting in them overdoing their emotions.

Fortunately, the actors that Su Yu found were quite professional, and they quickly got back to normal. The first day of filming went relatively smoothly overall.

Most of the filming consisted of scenes between Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi, with relatively few other actors appearing on screen.

However, even when Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi were filming, there weren't no problems at all.

Although both of them had thoroughly read the script, the final result, in Su Yu's words, was like a TV series that had already been filmed to the later stages, with the male and female leads already deeply in love, going back to film the scenes from when they first met.

When Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi were in the same frame, their behavior was just too natural.

After clarifying this point, when Jiang Yuan and the other person filmed again, they deliberately tried to recapture that awkward feeling of a long-awaited reunion.
