Although he had already comforted Pu Rong once and given him confidence, believing he could succeed this time, Xiao He still breathed a huge sigh of relief and felt happy for Pu Rong when he learned that Pu Rong had become popular again through "the thief catcher 2."
Furthermore, with the quality of "the thief catcher 2" leading the way, the box office traffic driven by Xiao He and Pu Rong following behind, and the theater chains gradually increasing the screening rate, "the thief catcher 2" had already firmly secured the top spot for the May Day box office before the holiday had even completely ended.
As the saying goes, in the current movie market, there truly wasn't a single competitor capable of putting up a fight.
Even that high-investment, large-scale project Film Crew that Xiao He and the others had heard about—the one promoted on "Happy Everyday"—failed spectacularly this time, once again becoming the "traffic code" that various roasting Bloggers talked about with great relish.
On the contrary, due to the release of "the thief catcher 2," many fans and viewers who didn't know that the cast of "the thief catcher 2" had appeared on "mars collision" made a special trip to the relevant platforms to watch that latest episode of "mars collision" to see some extra interaction highlights from the crew.
Thus, even more exclamations of surprise followed.
【So Brother Xiao really knows the De-boning Knife Technique?】
【Ahhh, I didn't expect such a story behind Goddess Qu's past events. Wuwu, I'm watching this with tears streaming down my face.】
【It's so good that Goddess Qu is doing well now. My dad really likes her! I just put it on the TV, and he sat there in silence smoking for a long time. She truly is the 'White Moonlight' goddess in the hearts of the older generation; her impact is just too strong!】
【So those people who spread rumors about Goddess Qu back then really deserve to die! During Goddess Qu's most difficult years, they constantly spread rumors and smeared her. Some even said Goddess Qu was dead or crazy. What kind of mindset do these people have? Aren't they just despicable?】
Only at times like this did netizens have to lament that the internet truly has many newcomers now! They didn't even know Brother Xiao could use the De-boning Knife, nor did they know the truth about Goddess Qu's past.
All of this had been marketed before!
During the promotion period for "the thief catcher," Xiao He and Pu Rong were constantly active on YinFei. Xiao He's short video of the de-boning knife already has tens of millions of likes, yet there were still people who hadn't seen it.
As for Qu Qiuyan's situation, when she spoke up for the victims of "Fearless Journey" earlier, marketing accounts had already helped clarify everything once. Unexpectedly, the majority of people still thought she had passed away!
It was only now that Xiao He finally understood why Lin Yipeng waited until the second movie to have Teacher Qu appear.
The audience and coverage of a web movie, after all, are not as good as a movie that officially hits the theaters!
Look, with this one move, other matters became famous along with "the thief catcher 2." More people learned about the past, making it more convenient for Teacher Qu to clear her name.
So these arrangements were truly linked one after another—
Aside from the past being brought up again, the happiest party was none other than the Program Group of "mars collision."
Since it started airing, "mars collision" had never surpassed "Happy Everyday" in any data metric.
Not even once.
Until now—with Xiao He's de-boning knife, Pu Rong's martial arts, and Qu Qiuyan's clarification, these three trump cards directly drove up the topic's popularity. fгeewebnovёl.com
Even the actor playing Vice General Feng, who went on stage at the time, was a familiar face from early Hong Kong wuxia films. During the peak years of Hong Kong cinema, he participated in many wuxia-related film shoots and was considered one of the excellent martial arts actors in everyone's hearts.
So this episode could be said to be packed with topics; who could compete with it?
And with the explosive popularity of "the thief catcher 2," the view count for the show continued to rise in the later stages, making the director's face bloom with joy.

At the same time, Xiao He also received another piece of good news.
"The 'the imperial cause' is preparing to resume work. Director Qiu is already reassembling the crew and said you must return to the Film Crew after the May Day holiday."
Liu Rulan said.
Xiao He breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's great, I can finally start working!"
To be honest, during these days of forced suspension, he really felt uneasy.
Oh, but don't think too much into it. Xiao He was mainly thinking that once work resumed, Director Qiu would squeeze him and everyone else to catch up with the schedule, making his heart and liver ache just thinking about it.
—The news was indeed good news.
It was just a bit unfriendly to him personally...
The resumption of "the imperial cause" Film Crew also meant that the battle for the "the imperial cause" project had completely concluded.
Before many industry insiders could even react, Linghui Entertainment and Jiaxing Entertainment had already returned fully loaded, once again friendly and hand-in-hand, jointly carving up their spoils of war.
Naturally, this included more than just the "the imperial cause" project.
As for the original owner, Jingyou Entertainment?
Although they hadn't completely exited the capital camp of the entertainment industry, they were now severely weakened and no longer possessed their former glory.
Not to mention the artists of Jingyou Entertainment, such as Yun Ziqi. As a member of the Yun Family, even though he hadn't personally participated in those matters, with such a huge commotion on the internet and the entire Yun Family being investigated, how could Yun Ziqi not be affected?
He was now basically in a state of semi-retirement from the industry.
However, something even more unexpected followed.
When Yun Ziqi originally invited An Laijia to be his Agent, he had put in a lot of effort and made many empty promises.
But now that An Laijia's scandals had been exposed and the Yun Family had fallen, Yun Ziqi's promises had vanished into thin air. How could this woman possibly be satisfied?
One must know, she was a woman whom even Liu Rulan was somewhat wary of. If she were truly given a chance to start a public opinion war, her methods would have no lower limit.
It was likely that Yun Ziqi didn't even know exactly what kind of person he had provoked.
Thus, in a situation that neither Xiao He nor Liu Rulan expected, the two of them suddenly started tearing into each other.
An Laijia attacked Yun Ziqi and the Yun Ziqi family, starting to dig up Yun Ziqi's dirt. Driven to desperation, Yun Ziqi also started bringing up An Laijia's past, wanting to send An Laijia straight to prison.
With this back and forth, the two of them "successfully" sent each other in.
It was said that An Laijia was charged with intentional injury, while Yun Ziqi was charged with rape.
It was also said that when the two were arrested, they were on a hotel bed, and An Laijia insisted that Yun Ziqi had done something bad to her.
Xiao He and Liu Rulan, who observed the whole incident online:...
"So that's why I said it's best not to mess with that person. She's someone with nothing to lose; if she really wants to cause trouble, she can use any dirty trick."
Liu Rulan twitched the corner of her mouth and spoke with a very complex expression.
Xiao He gave a dry laugh: "Ha, haha, that's true."
It was just that these methods were a bit too underhanded!
Thinking about how Yun Ziqi's face must have turned green when he was handcuffed and put into the car, Xiao He couldn't help but want to cast a look of pity toward his enemy. frёeωebɳovel.com
Oh, but on second thought, wasn't this his own doing?
He knew exactly what kind of person An Laijia was and deliberately sought her out to oppose them. Now, it had simply backfired on himself.
Then it's fine.
It was just a case of dog-eat-dog.
Just as Xiao He and Liu Rulan were packing their things, preparing to set off again and return to Hengdian.
Another piece of news came from Beijing—
"Yun Rongguo is dead?"
Hearing this name, Xiao He gave a light click of his tongue.
Yun Rongguo was precisely that Elder Yun of the Yun Family who was currently hiding overseas and didn't dare to show his face!
