The video posted by Jiang Dao was quickly seen by the LongDao CP group, and instantly set off screams.
“Ahhhhhh! After Eat! and Taoyuan, Xiao Dao is finally fighting with Father Long again!”
“Yeah [funny]”
“Reply: Still doesn’t know what’s good after being beaten so many times [doge]”
“It’s time to take out my favorite animated pictures of Eat! and Taoyuan [picture] [picture]”
“Reply: I’ll take a screenshot of today’s video [doge]”
“Reply: Is there anyone who knows PS? Begging!”
“You two are so good at fighting, why don’t you do a men’s wrestling documentary ? [doge]”
“Reply: …I went to search for men’s wrestling, thank you sisters for opening a new door for me [shocked]”
“Reply: Why don’t you arrange a confrontation between Father Long and Xiao Dao? @StarGames”
Another batch of fanarts of fighting and sparring was born, and there was a happy atmosphere everywhere.
…
Over the next few days, Jiang Dao followed Chu Yinlong to perform various publicity activities for “Operation Red Owl”.
At first, Chu Yinlong was worried that Jiang Dao would not be able to remember the questions, but later he found out his smart mouth and thick skin were naturally suitable for dealing with reporters.
In addition, knowing that Chu Yinlong was supporting him, Jiang Dao was not very polite when answering questions from some reporters.
Reporter: “Do you think your ability is enough to share the stage with the actor for your first work?”
Jiang Dao nodded: “The film emperor thinks it is enough.”
Reporter: “How do you think your background will affect your career?”
Jiang Dao asked back: “Apart from inheriting a throne, are there any other jobs based on one’s birth?”
Reporter: “What do you think of the crimes Qin Jiangshan committed back then?”
Jiang Dao said seriously, “I failed to stop him back then. I’m really sorry for my behavior.”
Seeing that the rhythm was about to be skewed by Jiang Dao, Chu Yinlong quickly grabbed the microphone from his hand: “Please ask questions related to the film, thank you.”
Jiang Dao’s back and forth with the reporter is easy to criticize, but netizens don’t care. Many people were starting fires, asking him to say a few more words.
And the focus of the CP fans deviated—
“Although I understand why this interview should be focused on contents related to the film, but… Father Long, why did you grab Xiao Dao’s microphone? Don’t you have a microphone in your hand? [Laughs]”
“Reply: The bear child’s mouth is too offensive. Father Long thinks this isn’t good, and must take it away [doge]”
“Reply: Father Long: Confiscating crime tools [funny]”
“Sweet, keep pampering! Grandpa will order another box of insulin!”
“Reply: Hahaha sisters are using their lives to eat sugar?”
“It’s over, I’m not normal, I suddenly want to see an image of Father Long teaching Xiao Dao a lesson [kneeling]”
“Reply: I’m even more greedy. I want to see the picture of the bear child being pressed on the bed by Father Long [doge]”
……
July 12th, “Dawn City” held the official closing banquet.
At the banquet, Jiang Dao finally sat at the same table with Chu Yinlong as one of the lead actors.
Director Mu and Chu Yinlong also brought him along to attend several events, where Jiang Dao said that he would work harder in the future to live up to everyone’s expectations.
Then, on July 16, the premiere of “Operation Red Owl” was held at the largest Starlight Cinema in Yan City.
The scene was crowded with media everywhere. Many lucky fans were present, and the atmosphere was very warm.
A film premiere is nothing fancy. The press conference, interviews, group photos, and fan meetings are done step by step, and finally the feature film is played.
This premiere of the movie was also the first time Jiang Dao had direct contact with his fans.
Most fans who received an invitation to the premiere knew the rules, and were very restrained when they came forward to ask for autographs or photos. This didn’t make Jiang Dao nervous, but even so, after the fan meet was completed, Jiang Dao was still relieved, thinking that the fewer such activities the better.
“They are your fans, not your enemies.” Back in the preparation room, Chu Yinlong patted Jiang Dao’s shoulder with a smile. “Most of the time, they are harmless. There’s no need to guard against them. Relax a little, after doing it a few times, and you’ll get used to it.”
“I just… can’t help it.” Jiang Dao was helpless.
Although he knew that this place was not an apocalyptic wasteland, his subconscious remained guarded against strangers with any excessive enthusiasm towards him, feeling that the other party was hiding a knife in their smile.
This is something deeply etched in his memory after experiencing it several times.
Although Jiang Dao didn’t say it clearly, Chu Yinlong still saw it.
“How insecure you are…” He sighed helplessly. Seeing that there was no one around, he stretched out his hand and took Jiang Dao into his arms and hugged him lightly. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
After the premiere of “Operation Red Owl”, a post in the LongDao CP group instantly exploded and was almost pinned to the top by the fans – the content of the post was “About the belts on Father Long and Xiao Dao. A million little details.”
The post showed four photos:
“I can’t be the first to find out? Do Father Long and Xiao Dao have the same belt, or do they actually wear belts interchangeably?? Picture 1: When “Operation Red Owl” was finished, Xiao Dao’s belt; Picture 2: The corner of the belt exposed by Father Long in an interview; Picture 3: When “Dawn City” was finished, this belt appeared again on Xiao Dao; Picture 4: A group photo of fans at the premiere of “Operation Red Owl”, everyone look at Father Long’s belt [shocked] I seem to have discovered something incredible! [doge][doge]”
The first hot comment below the post: “I got the same style as my idols! I grabbed my dad’s belt back! This is the gift I bought for my dad at a souvenir shop when my family traveled to country M! Unbranded handmade fish skin belt! Ahhhh!”
“Reply: This is unreasonable. With their wealth and position, why would they use an unbranded souvenir belt? Do they take turns using it, or did they buy a couple’s model directly? Ah? [Shocked]”
“Reply: Since there’s no brand, whether as a gift or a couple’s belt, I don’t think they can hide it anymore [doge]”
Then came the second-ranked hot comment: “I also saw this belt in a souvenir shop on an island in country M! But I didn’t buy it because it was too expensive at the time [cry] [cry] I missed 100 million!!!”
“Reply: I heard that part of Red Owl was filmed in country M, so did the two of them go on a trip together after filming? Did they share one room? [doge]”
“Reply: Okay, the plan for this year’s annual vacation is confirmed!”
…
On July 30, “Operation Red Owl” was finally released.
The box office exceeded 100 million on the first day. Like Chu Yinlong’s previous works, it has won praise from the majority of action movie fans. Related topics continued to heat up on various social platforms for several days after that.
The LongDao CP group naturally celebrated again.
“Father Long and Xiao Dao finally have on-screen counterparts! Come on, editor ladies! The two of them fall in love and kill each other! [joy]”
“Reply: I’m cutting, I’m cutting (new project)”
“Reply: Can I look forward to a kiss scene between the two of them [kneeling]”
“I love that Xiao Dao and Father Long fought in the rain. Jess is a crazy beauty, I love them! Xiao Dao’s acting is so expressive [cries]”
“Reply: It’s a pity that Xiao Dao has so few scenes, God knows how many times I’ve played their scenes on loop!”
“Reply: The part where Xiao Dao pushed Brother Long into the water. His eyes frightened me [kneeling] In a trance, I thought he really wanted to kill Father Long [kneeling]”
“Sisters, stop bragging about Xiao Dao’s acting skills! Chu Yingdi will be jealous when he sees it! [doge]”
“Reply: I almost can’t get my knife back…”
“Reply: Father Long won’t. He’s so fond of him, Father Long will be happier to hear us praise Xiao Dao than hearing about himself [doge]”
Everyone was dizzied by the recent flood of sugar, that no one expected there would be a heavier CP treat waiting for them. On this day, an entertainment platform broadcasted an exclusive interview with the crew of “Operation Red Owl”, and a fan immediately forwarded part of it to the LongDao CP chat.
This fan is very excited: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don’t allow anyone to not see this!!! Xiao Dao is amazing! Saved Father Long’s life with an apple on the set!!! I’m crazy, or the world is crazy! Xiao Dao, please kill me to cheer up your wedding! [Share link]”
After a few minutes, screams filled the reply section.
“F*ck, f*ck! Was it two seconds from when the shelf collapsed to when he threw the apple out? How did he hit it so accurately??? Who am I? Where am I? What am I looking at???”
“Reply: Ah this? Does the Ministry of Magic care?”
“Reply: Maybe the Ministry of Magic can’t control Huaxia [doge] should @TaoistAssociation [doge]”
“I suddenly remembered, when they threw darts in Taoyuan, Xiao Dao’s accuracy wasn’t good? [Funny]”
“Reply: Bad accuracy, as if”
“Reply: It’s fine on a variety show. As long as it lands during the critical moment when saving your life [smile]”
“Forgive me, didn’t Father Long say “life-saving grace” in an interview before [doge]”
“Reply: You’re not alone!”
“Reply: As we all know, the grace of saving life is to () with () [doge]”1the empty parentheses are in the raws 🤷♂️
“Sisters, there’s a hot search of Father Long and Xiao Dao! #ChuYinlong JiangDao LifeSavingGrace#”
Sure enough, the magical video of Jiang Dao smashing the prop shelf with an apple was pinned to the top of the hot search. In the comments, some were shocked, some thought it was unbelievable, and some even analyzed the force required for an apple to shift the prop shelf…
Some fans also called out Jiang Dao’s achievements during his debut. In the end, everyone came to a conclusion – Jiang Dao “is not a person”.
Afterwards, no one knew if it was a marketing account or the power of the LongDao CP fans was too strong, but somehow the belt sharing situation was even dug up.
#LongDaoCPisCrazy# This topic suddenly appeared on the hot search list. Although it was only at the end, because of Jiang Dao’s frequent appearances lately, many passersby also clicked in, ending the topic to the middle of the hot search.
After that, the topic was suddenly filled with various clips of the two in the same frame, and the team of LongDao CP fans suddenly began to grow.
Then, a very magical scene was staged – the first group of CP fans in LongDao began to collectively “block the cabinet door” for Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong.
“Regular operation, don’t get excited, all sit down! [Shocked]”
“Father Long and Xiao Dao are brothers with a very good relationship, they are really not a couple [doge]”
“Everyone calm down and listen to me. How can they be together, they’re comrade-in-arms, they are comrade-in-arms! Understand? [Funny]”
“Yes, yes, how can love be so sweet, they’re a proper brotherhood [like]”
“Good brothers exchange belts, this is normal! Whether straight men believe it or not, I believe it anyway! This is the truth!”
Zzzzz. Just a barrage of fan comments
