Actor Tang Xiaolong was the first to send his blessings at midnight. It is revealed that they had known each other long before "Hurricane", and they were able to accurately remember Zhang Songwen's birthday, which shows that the friendship between them is extraordinary.
Subsequently, Gao Ye, who played the role of "sister-in-law" in "Hurricane", also sent her blessings, although she used slightly old-fashioned words such as "Blessing is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan" in the blessing, which attracted ridicule from netizens, but this sincere friendship is still concerning.
What's even more surprising is that the well-known Hong Kong director Liu Weiqiang also sent blessings. The director, who has created classic works such as "Crazy Boy" and "Infernal Affairs", has interacted with Zhang Songwen to look forward to the possible future cooperation between the two.
During this period, brand endorsements poured in. Heilan House invited Zhang Songwen with an endorsement fee of up to 5 million, which is in stark contrast to his salary in the TV series "Hurricane", which is only 400,000, which clearly shows the huge changes brought about by the "overnight popularity" of the entertainment industry.
However, the most touching thing was the creative support of the fans, who started planning a few days in advance, not only designing the characters of the anime, but also posting the blessings of each fan.
From major cities in China to New York's Times Square, fans' cheering videos are everywhere, and although the scale is not as large as the extravagant celebrations of some top stars, this kind of heartfelt blessing makes people feel warm.
