Reborn in the Chinese Entertainment Industry: My Childhood Sweetheart is Boss Yang

I have to say, the marketing and promotion of "Source Code" has been absolutely brilliant lately!

People were initially skeptical of Gu Heng's science fiction film.

After the emergence of Robotman, the industry was generally pessimistic.

There's nothing we can do; the cost was 100 million, but the box office was only 90 million.

However, Vision didn't advertise anything about the movie's special effects.

As mentioned before, special effects and science fiction concepts are both indispensable.

Su Qing added a new element to her usual publicity strategy.

On an ordinary weekday noon.

Without any warning, all the official accounts under Vision Entertainment suddenly posted a nonsensical message:

"If you only had less than a minute to live, what would you do?"

At first, everyone thought it was just normal interaction. Netizens flocked to the comments section to leave messages.

Some were heartfelt and thoughtful, reflecting on life:

"I will call my family and tell them that I really tried my best, and... I love them."

"Hold on tightly to the people around you, forget about mortgages and car loans, just stay quietly."

Of course, netizens with their silly and humorous opinions are never absent:

"One minute? I'd just stuff a whole box of spicy strips into my mouth!"

"Quickly and permanently delete those hidden folders, spanning over ten gigabytes, from your computer's hard drive! I fear not being shattered to pieces, as long as my innocence remains!"

Within just two days, the topic's popularity skyrocketed.

Not only did it dominate the trending topics, but some outrageous high school Chinese teachers even copied this sentence directly onto the blackboard and required students to write an essay of no less than 800 words on the weekend.

This was tough on the high school students, who cursed under their breath while searching for information online.

Meanwhile, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, a recent graduate named Cheng Xu was sitting in a taxi on his way to the airport.

Because of work, he had to leave the city, and most importantly, leave the girl he had secretly loved for three years but never dared to confess to.

At that moment, on the car radio, a DJ was discussing this viral topic in the deep, soulful voice typical of late-night programs.

The driver was a middle-aged man who looked quite kind. He glanced at Cheng Xu in the rearview mirror while smoking a cigarette.

"Young man, this is a distressing topic. If you were in this situation, what would you do in that minute?"

Cheng Xu gave a bitter smile, his eyes filled with melancholy: "I don't know, maybe I'll just think about those regrets I missed."

"Hey! That's not right of you."

The driver took a deep drag on his cigarette and sighed, "The worst thing in life is regret! If I had been braver back then, my first love might be sitting in the passenger seat now. I wouldn't be stuck here picking up passengers and putting up with this nonsense!"

These words struck Cheng Xu's soul like a bolt of lightning!

A minute is too short, and he doesn't want to have any regrets... But he still has time!

He glanced at his watch; there were still more than three hours before takeoff, plenty of time!

"Master! Turn around!" Cheng Xu said anxiously.

The driver paused, his hand holding the cigarette still. He glanced at the hot-blooded young man in the rearview mirror, a grin spreading across his face. "Hold on tight!"

The car was speeding.

The moment Cheng Xu scrambled out of the car, the driver rolled down the window and handed him a business card.

"Keep it up, young man! I believe in you! Feel free to contact me anytime if you need a ride. My name is Zhang Chi!"

Cheng Xu, holding the business card, ran all the way to the girl's building.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and I dialed the number with trembling hands.

He didn't want to regret the words he hadn't spoken in his final moments.

As soon as the call connected, the noisy airport announcements came from the other end.

The girl's voice came through: "Idiot, where did you go? I'm already at the airport, I want to come with you..."

This plot is even more dramatic than an idol drama!

Cheng Xu shared his dramatic experience in the comments section of the topic "Vision".

I thought I would receive all the best wishes from netizens across the internet.

As a result, the comments section below was completely steered off course by netizens:

"The student counselor! Where's the student counselor?"

"Student counselor! I'm feeling down!"

"I suggest the traffic police thoroughly investigate that driver named Zhang Chi; he is definitely suspected of speeding!"

Just as the online discussion reached its peak, and everyone was struggling with the final moments of life.

Vision Entertainment released a second update:

"What if it's eight minutes? An infinitely repeating eight minutes. Can you find the killer hiding in the crowd within those eight minutes?"

Below the post, a two-minute trailer was attached!

When the trailer was released, the entire internet was stunned, followed by a chorus of "Holy crap!"

See you in the picture!

Your map of the Yan Kingdom is quite long!

Who the hell would have thought that all that emotional build-up online, which garnered so much tears and sentimentality, would ultimately be to introduce this sci-fi thriller?!

But despite the words, everyone's hands still honestly clicked on the video.

I wonder which genius editor personally crafted this trailer.

Accompanied by the oppressive ticking of the stopwatch, the 8-minute countdown hung above the screen like a death knell.

The male protagonist, played by Huang Xiaoming, suddenly wakes up on the train, feeling confused and bewildered, followed by a huge explosion without warning!

Then he woke up again with a start, and the male protagonist's eyes gradually changed from confusion to madness.

Running wildly through the train carriage, searching for clues, getting beaten up, and suspecting everyone around him.

Li Xuejian's deep gaze, Liu Qianqian's thoughtful expression, and Zhang Yi's enigmatic, half-smiling expression.

In just two minutes, the adrenaline of viewers in front of the screen was soaring!

Combined with Xiaoming's tearful and frantic complaints on TV shows and Weibo, this further highlights the importance of understanding Xiaoming's perspective.

It's connected! It's completely connected!

So what Brother Xiaoming said was true!

Looking at his bloodshot, crazed eyes in the trailer, can a movie that can drive a cult leader to such a near-collapse state really be a bad movie?!

"Cycle", "Explosion", "The Last Moment of Life"...

One word after another began to appear repeatedly in the minds of netizens and linger there.

"No way, this trailer gave me goosebumps, I have to watch it!"

"Given how badly Chong Xiaoming is suffering, I'd definitely buy him a movie ticket!"

Meanwhile, in the waiting hall of Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.

Our genius editor, wearing sunglasses and carrying two large vacuum-sealed bags of rabbit heads, was swaying as he walked toward the security checkpoint.

"One bag is extra spicy, and one bag is numbing spicy. I'll eat the numbing spicy one, and the little fox will eat the extra spicy one. Hehe..."

Wang Gang, who was following behind, was speechless. "Boss, you two are really a love-hate relationship!"

I wonder if writing the boss's story into a novel would be a good idea.
