Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 479: Cangyue Calamity Premieres!
On the night Cangyue Calamity premiered, the fanfare was immense.
Almost the moment it went live right on schedule, the bullet comments for Cangyue Calamity began to skyrocket wildly.
[I'm here, I'm here.]
[Front row! Wishing Cangyue Calamity a massive hit!]
[Welcoming our girl's first loop!]
[Four episodes for the premiere, you really went for it! Give Cangyue Calamity a like!]
[Here for Brother Xiao! Looking forward to Brother Xiao's performance in the show!]
[Casual fan checking in! Asking when Senior Brother will appear?]
[Chifei, charge! Everyone, please follow Jiang Chifei!]
Although the drama Cangyue Calamity, just like its title, had gone through many ups and downs, and now the actors playing the male and female leads had developed a rift due to company issues, one calamity passed and then another, and now it had finally managed to hold on until its smooth broadcast. It didn't end up being aborted mid-production due to disaster as many outsiders had speculated.
Moreover, the broadcast performance of Cangyue Calamity was surprisingly good.
Yu Xuezheng and Le Yuanbai were already established rising stars in the TV drama traffic scene. Combined with the latecomer Xiao He and the somewhat famous-in-fan-circles Jiang Chifei, Cangyue Calamity quickly broke ten thousand in heat shortly after its premiere, with both topic discussions and advertisements flourishing, once again meeting the preconditions for a hit drama.
In this year's terrible overall environment, it was already hard to encounter such broadcast results. The last time this happened was with Corner Also at the beginning of the year.
It was also at this time that those observing the show's broadcast quality belatedly realized that Xiao He's eye for scripts was not just ordinarily good.
Of course, the main credit went to his agent, whose vision was truly exceptionally sharp. The roles she picked out and presented to Xiao He were basically all effective characters. Even if the screen time was limited, they absolutely had their standout moments, easily leaving a deep impression on people.
For example, the younger brother in Corner Also, and for another example, the Senior Brother in Cangyue Calamity.
The Senior Brother played by Xiao He appeared at the end of the second episode. Before that, he had only appeared in the female lead's words, the white moonlight in her heart.
Before the day of the sect's great calamity, the Senior Brother had left the sect with some people due to a temporary sect mission. By the time Yu Yue received news of the Senior Brother again, it was the news of his death.
Then, the sect was suddenly corrupted by demonic energy. Everyone who remained in the sect was slaughtered by demonic beings, and she also met a violent death.
So, when she looped back again, Yu Yue's first thought was to keep the Senior Brother.
—If the Senior Brother had stayed in the sect on the day of the great calamity, would there still have been hope of saving everything?
Following the female lead's internal monologue and the descriptions of this Senior Brother by other sect members, by the time viewers reached this point, their curiosity about this Senior Brother character had also peaked.
Finally, the Senior Brother, who had been leading his team on a mission outside, returned to the sect.
Almost the moment she learned this news, the female lead couldn't wait to rush out of her room. She then jogged down the corridor, finally meeting the Senior Brother who was approaching with his sword in hand head-on—
According to calculations by interested parties, the bullet comments at the moment the Senior Brother appeared were even more exaggerated than all the bullet comments from the previous scenes combined!
The exclamations and screams in the bullet comments could practically directly converge into all the joyful emotions that filled Yu Yue's heart in that instant!
[Before seeing the Senior Brother, I was Team Male Lead. After seeing the Senior Brother, I became a stray by the roadside. May I ask, my brilliant and radiant Senior Brother, could you take this little lady home?] (21k likes)
[Whose white moonlight is this? Oh, it's mine, he's so damn handsome.] (10k likes)
[Can other dramas please raise the standard for white moonlight looks? Who wouldn't be moved by a white moonlight like this?] (23k likes)
[Ahhhhh, anyone who meets someone like this in their youth would fall hard, right? If I were Yu Yue, I'd loop a million times to save him too!] (16k likes)
[I didn't understand the power of a white moonlight before, but now I suddenly get it.]
[Wuwu, why can this Senior Brother be so perfectly portrayed? I'm reminded of the past when little me fought three hundred rounds with other CP fans to get the Senior Brother to the top. It's just a shame, wuwu...]
[The Senior Brother is really too handsome. The halo of the white moonlight is so bright it's almost blinding my eyes. I didn't even notice this person is Xiao He.]
[??? Wait, something seems off.]
[???? This is Xiao He?]
[Holy crap, I almost forgot, this guy is Xiao He!]
[Oh no, the white moonlight has turned into a black moonlight... hehe, that works too, even more exciting, isn't it!]
Originally, many people didn't have high hopes for Xiao He, feeling that his eyes carried too much fierceness, that he naturally had a sense of aloofness and menace when looking at people. When playing villains, it felt innate, he naturally had the aura of a villain. He seemed like an actor born to play antagonists. Having him portray a truly righteous sect Senior Brother obviously seemed quite impossible.
It was hard to imagine what impression his appearance would give viewers—most likely, the moment he appeared, everyone would know he was the villain!
That kind of face was just that authoritative!
And the recent Shu Yuxiu was also sufficiently popular, leaving people with a serious stereotype—
Then, these people were slapped hard in the face.
The Senior Brother played by Xiao He was gentle, scholarly, upright, and tolerant. He was practically the purest kind of Senior Brother from the old-school xianxia dramas!
He had both ability and patience. He was respectful and courteous to his elders above, and tolerant and gentle to his fellow disciples below. Almost without needing the female lead to further describe her crush and admiration for the Senior Brother, everyone could instantly put themselves in the female lead's shoes and understand her infatuation.
Because... who wouldn't like this?
As for the person playing the Senior Brother being Xiao He?
That villain specialist who played a murderer, a smuggler, a fraudster, and usually always looked fierce?
I won't hear it, I won't hear it, I won't hear it! Xiao He is Xiao He, the Senior Brother is the Senior Brother. These two absolutely cannot be equated!
So, when Xiao He inadvertently checked the Hot Search again, a red question mark slowly appeared above his head.
[Xiao He's kind personality has also started acting!]
Xiao He: ?
What are you all talking about?
Although he could already roughly guess it was just the netizens' spontaneous antics again, these damn hands just couldn't resist clicking in to take a look.
So Xiao He saw the comments below—
[When did Brother Xiao get a kind personality? I didn't know.]
[Great! Brother Xiao has detached his last kind personality for filming! Everyone, come watch Cangyue Calamity! The newcomer playing the Senior Brother has superb acting skills!] 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
[As is not widely known, Xiao He is Xiao He, the Senior Brother is the Senior Brother. The two of them have never appeared together!]
[Oh my god! I've also discovered this earth-shattering secret!]
[Wow! I discovered it too...]
Xiao He: ?
What have you discovered now?
What's up with this generation of netizens! Their words are so ice-cold, making one feel utterly chilled!
Please, for now, stop discovering things! Thank you!
