In the days that followed, the box office of "No Bait" continued to rise, while other films released in the same period had long since disappeared from the public eye.
Sun Gong's "Nowhere to Escape" was criticized by various bloggers for its overly artistic plot, and was eventually pulled from the schedule to avoid competing with "No Bait".
Now, the platform is full of analytical and promotional videos about "No Bait," and even the usually sarcastic bloggers have shown a rare smile towards "No Bait."
Bai Xiaobai, the relationship blogger who previously analyzed why Xiao He became a hit overseas, even created a separate video series to analyze and explain how Shu Yuxiu in "No Bait" deceived wealthy young men and rich ladies by using disguise and learning.
This even included Shu Yuxiu's attire when he went out with those people, his language and culture in social situations, and the special skills he inadvertently displayed... Bai Xiaobai conducted an in-depth analysis of these key aspects that subtly enhanced his personal charm and deepened his class impression.
Although the movie reveals that Seo Yu-soo acquired his abilities by working and observing in various high-class settings and secretly learning, ultimately solidifying his rich young master persona through these details, the film still doesn't give enough time to explore these aspects, glossing over many parts.
Viewers may not have had any idea before the plot has already moved on, so it wasn't until Bai Xiaobai delved into and expanded on these details in the plot that everyone belatedly realized how amazing Shu Yuxiu really is.
【The details! The details are all so important!】
【All I can say is that at Shu Yuxiu's level, he can succeed at anything.】
【Actually, you don't need to get too hung up on all that complicated wine and cigar knowledge. If an ordinary person said that to me, I'd just think they were showing off, and it would ruin my impression of them. But Shu Yuxiu's calculated outfits and boyfriend-like conversations every time he meets Qi Xinyue—as a woman, I can't find anything wrong with them. If this conman were to scam me, I really wouldn't be able to handle it.】
【Shu Yuxiu's pursuit of Qi Xinyue was truly meticulous, down to the smallest details. When I watched it in the theater, I was just like Qi Xinyue in the beginning, extremely fond of Shu Yuxiu, and hardly believed he really killed his wife. But in the end... sigh, I can only say that ordinary people can really learn from Shu Yuxiu's attention to detail and cleverness. Pay special attention to the scene where they bungee jump together; Shu Yuxiu's handling of the events before and after, and his attitude towards his girlfriend, is truly a god-level boyfriend tutorial.】
【This blogger, Bai Xiaobai, has already analyzed this. Interested readers can check out his analysis tutorial on his homepage. It includes tips on what guys should wear on a first date, what to bring, how to react when you meet them, conversation topics on the way, restaurant choices after sightseeing... it's really packed with useful information.】
【You're all just watching for fun, but I'm kneeling down to study and memorize frame by frame.】
【Among a sea of lies, a few tricks of living off a woman were discovered.】
【Friendly reminder: If you want to emulate Shu Yuxiu's ability to transcend social classes or find a rich woman to live off, you'll need to ensure you have modeling skills first.】
【Thanks for reminding me, but my suggestion is that you don't remind me yet.】
【Anyway, I'll write this down and try it out when I'm trying to win my girlfriend back.】
【That's right, I immediately pulled out my laptop... Damn, I almost forgot, I don't have a girlfriend.】
【No, am I the only one shocked that Shu Yuxiu doesn't exist? But could Xiao He really be one?】
【Huh? How do you know?】
【Watching their behind-the-scenes promotional videos on the official Lu Zhi account, I swear this is the most hardcore promotional video I've ever seen, hundreds of times better than being moved to tears in front of the director's monitor.】
【I've finished watching and come back, and I really only have one thing to say—Xiao He is awesome!】
Following this topic, curious netizens immediately went to the official account to see the promotional clips they had recently posted.
In the video, Xiao He is wearing a flight suit and laughing and talking with the instructor behind him.
Immediately afterwards, they saw the smiling young man from before turn serious and jump out of the flying helicopter—
Once, twice, three times...
The video was edited back and forth several times, with each edit being different. It can be seen that this was not a video that was repeatedly edited together, but rather that Xiao He jumped many times and collected a certain amount of footage before editing it together.
In addition, there are many other skills similar to those of "Shu Yuxiu".
For example, there were underwater scenes that lasted for several hours, a high-speed car speeding on the track and a sudden stop and tail swing in one continuous shot, and a man singing a gorgeous and melodious French love song to confess his love to the female lead...
In another video, the production team thoughtfully reposted a vlog video that Xiao Chen filmed when she went to participate in her first car race with Xiao He. This video had become quite popular when it was circulated back in China, but it was mostly limited to the fan circle. This time, the production team took the opportunity to repost it, which instantly attracted the attention of a large group of movie fans and passers-by.
Watching the young man in the video raise the championship trophy, beaming with pride, everyone belatedly realized a terrifying truth—
It seems, perhaps, maybe, this kid is serious?
【No way? Seriously? This kid's really good at this?】
【I was just watching for the fun, thinking this production team was going to pull another one of those awkward promotional stunts, but after seeing this video, I can't laugh at all. I'll just quietly buy a movie ticket to support them; this actor is really hardworking...】
【Everyone thought it was acting, but actually there was no need for acting at all; Seo Yu-soo himself just appeared.】
【Brother Xiao, how many more things are there that I don't know about? Skydiving, racing, diving, French... there are many ways to insult someone, not by having you display a cabinet full of certificates to prove how awesome you are!】
【Please delete this; a friend of mine is feeling uncomfortable about it...】
【Holy crap, so the rumors in the industry were true! Apparently, Shu Yuxiu is extremely picky about casting. The director spent ten years searching for the right male lead, and only after Xiao Ge suddenly appeared did Director Ning finally cast him.】
【Haha, although it sounds pretty cool, I still want to clarify something for the production team: "No Bait" wasn't delayed for ten years because of the male lead issue; rather, the script was held up by higher authorities for ten years without passing censorship, and only now can filming finally begin.】
【Actually, the male lead was supposed to be Shu Han. Shu Han's acting skills are beyond question. I was actually a little disappointed when I learned he was cut, but now, after seeing Xiao He's version of Shu Yuxiu, I realize how wrong I was. Xiao He is truly the chosen one for Shu Yuxiu; no one can replace him. Xiao He's Shu Yuxiu is the absolute best!】
【I laughed and then cried. Xiao He really put in so much effort for this role, and now he's finally reaping the rewards. I'm so happy for him.】
【Huh? The script for "No Bait" was stuck for ten years before it finally passed censorship? What exactly was written in it back then? I'm quite curious.】
【This analysis from the Bilibili blogger has already uncovered Officer Zhang's hidden storyline. I truly admire the speed these bloggers use; it's terrifying. (Friendly reminder: I suggest watching the movie in theaters first before watching their analysis videos, otherwise you'll just feel blank and won't understand anything.)】
