【The Finale of "Cang Yue Jie"】
Goodbye, Senior Brother!
【My soul has flown away, and my beloved is nowhere to be found】
On the night of the finale of "Cang Yue Jie", countless trending topics appeared on the entertainment hot search list.
Xiao He's Weibo account was also updated in response to this trending topic.
【Ling Hui (actor) - Xiao He: The bright moon once hung high for one person; even if I died for the world, I would have no regrets. Goodbye, Lin Qingfeng. 【Image: Lin Qingfeng's wrap-up photo】】
Viewers who had just finished watching the TV series were crying their eyes out and wanted to find some sweet behind-the-scenes moments to soothe their wounded hearts, but then they saw Xiao He's latest Weibo post, which only made their wounds worse.
These were meant to comfort everyone, but they only made things worse. It felt like the senior brother had truly vanished and would never return...
【So, Senior Brother likes Yu Yue too, right?! Our Yu Yue has never had a one-sided crush!】
【Why did the childhood sweetheart always lose to the newcomer in the end?! I won't allow it! I won't allow it! Please, please give me a spin-off! I really want to see a spin-off! Or even a group variety show would be fine! Please bring out a variety show, okay?】
【I had already let it go. It was expected that someone like Senior Brother would choose to die alone for the greater good of the world. But then you said that Senior Brother actually had feelings for Yu Yue, and now I really want to die.】
【It's official confirmation! Senior Brother does like Yu Yue! However, he carries too many burdens; his sense of mission prevents him from indulging in romantic feelings, so he has always restrained himself and has never confessed his love!】
【Waaaaah, if they had liked each other before, it would be even more heartbreaking! Even until the very end, Yu Yue thought her senior brother didn't like her, that he only had camaraderie with her. In the end, for the sake of his own justice, he chose to perish together with the demon god, so he regretfully uttered the line, "The bright moon hangs high, but it doesn't shine alone on me." But you tell me it's "The bright moon hangs high, and it shines on you too." I'm dying.】
【Hahaha, I've gone crazy! This kid's really driven me mad.】
【This story teaches us that unrequited love never ends well! Look at these popular couples: the senior brother and Xiaoyu had mutual crushes, but they weren't meant to be; the junior brother and Xiaoyu were a bickering couple, but the junior brother was unknowingly in love; and finally, there's Xiaoyu and her official male lead, who is blatantly straightforward. Once he realized his feelings, he decisively pursued her, fighting and vying for her attention. How could those two who didn't even open their mouths compare to the straightforward male lead!】
【Sigh, it's such a pity. If you carefully analyze the characters' personalities and then reread the story, you'll understand that some things are truly predetermined. For example, the eldest disciple was destined to perish together with the demon god, and the other unrequited lovers were destined to have their love unrequited.】
【Yay! It's a victory for the official pairing fans!】
【Although I'm a fan of the official pairing, I really like the character Lin Qingfeng, and he's such a reliable person. Xiao He's portrayal was excellent; even after his 'darkening,' I could clearly distinguish that the senior brother and the demon god were two different people. So no matter how evil the demon god did with the same face later on, I didn't feel any disgust towards the senior brother.】
【Yes, yes, it's true. This is the first time I've truly understood the power of acting in idol dramas. The demon often hides inside the senior brother, then uses his disguise to do evil. Even without any makeup changes, you can still tell who's who at a glance. Xiao He's acting is truly amazing.】
【Finally, it's not just about "darkening" clothes and makeup anymore! Some production teams should take note. It doesn't have to be black eyeliner and black clothes to be considered "darkening." You've made that a fixed template! Do you think it makes sense? Does it look good? Our Xiao Ge's aura changes completely with just a glance. When I was watching the show, it gave me a real jolt; it almost scared me to death.】
【Haha, forget it, they won't listen, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter, because it's not their idea to design it this way, it's just that the actors aren't good enough!】
【You think this is just stereotypical makeup and clothing? No, no, no! It's precisely because everyone has already formed stereotypes that they do this so cleverly, making it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in the story. That way, even if the actors are just going through the motions, no one will notice.】
【Alright, that's enough. Brother Xiao still has a job in this industry; if I'm too blunt, I might get resentful from petty people.】
【Haha, shh—】
...
There is a lot of discussion about "Cang Yue Jie" online, and several popular CPs have started various edits and attempts to find sweet moments, determined to make up for what they lost in the behind-the-scenes footage and post-production fan art.
Among these, there are a lot of fan-made videos featuring the senior brother and junior sister. CP fans who go to Bilibili with their bowls full can basically leave with a full load.
Only at times like this do people have to sigh and say that what you can't have /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ is always the most desirable.
—Regret is the perfect ending.
After the finale of "Cang Yue Jie", the three companies that co-produced it made a fortune, with a large number of peripheral and derivative products launched. While the popularity of "Cang Yue Jie" was still going strong, they began to continue to explore the remaining value of "Cang Yue Jie".
The only pity is that the most profitable activities, such as variety shows and concerts, are not on their money-making list. No matter how much drama fans and fans of each group try to coerce, entice, or beg, the topic of these activities is basically nowhere to be found.
Even after the drama ended, the male and female leads bid farewell to their characters on Weibo and did not engage in any further romantic gestures. It seems that with the end of "Cang Yue Jie", their relationship also came to an end.
Although everyone knows that Yu Xuezheng and Le Yuanbai only teamed up to create a CP (couple pairing) for publicity and popularity, and it's just a job after all, and they're all just colleagues, it's still quite disheartening that now that the drama has just ended, there are already signs that they're breaking up the CP.
However, none of this has anything to do with Xiao He.
The next day, when Xiao He attended the event, he was greeted with screams and cheers from a bunch of fans of the drama.
Strictly speaking, today's event has nothing to do with the promotion of "Cang Yue Jie". It is just a promotional event held by a cosmetics brand. Xiao He, as an invited guest, will be making an appearance at this shopping mall.
However, "Cang Yue Jie" has just ended, and everyone is currently very excited about it, so there are a lot of fans coming to this event, including many fans of the show and fans of the drama. The scene was very lively, and people had already gathered there before the event started, all looking forward to Xiao He's appearance.
So when Xiao He appeared, the screams from the crowd almost lifted the top of the mall building off the ground, and Xiao He was nearly deafened.
Looking out at the densely packed crowd, Xiao He rubbed his ears in shock.
No wonder everyone loves making TV dramas; the popularity and viewership are much easier to generate than for movies.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao He. Welcome to the promotional event for the XX brand!"
At Xiao He's call, the audience erupted in excited screams once again. This time, even the host, who was used to big events, couldn't help but rub his ears.
Yes, as expected of a corridor design, the mall's decor is like a giant echo chamber. They are standing in the very center, and almost all the sounds are directed at them.
Xiao He wore a smile, appearing calm and composed, but in reality, he was already half-deaf.
Everyone's so enthusiastic, my head's buzzing...
Never mind, just keep smiling.
