This was no ordinary movie screening; no one left the theater after the film ended.

The theater was filled with a cacophony of sobs, gasps for breath, and the sounds of people talking.

Shang Yechu sat in the front row, watching the entire film meticulously, but without experiencing any particularly profound emotions. She had already shed all her tears during filming; now, while she felt a slight sadness, she was mostly amazed by the movie.

As the saying goes, a good book is like a mountain – you don't like flat, uneven surfaces. The same applies to movies. Shang Yechu never expected that such a simple script would result in such a dramatic and substantial film. It perfectly balances artistry and entertainment!

Putting everything else aside, Shang Yechu stood up and scanned the audience in the theater. The vast majority had tears in their eyes and solemn expressions. Oh—Su Ge was asleep, so that doesn't count. In any case, many people were deeply engrossed in the film.

To avoid appearing out of place, Shang Yechu shed a few tears, keeping her eyes red and swollen. Qi Ming was also wiping away tears nearby, and Shang Yechu hugged and comforted the old man for a while. Gu Wenhua approached apologetically and whispered apologies to Teacher Qi Ming.

The scene where the mute woman chokes to death was actually filmed, and it was extremely difficult to film. To recreate the feeling of choking to death, actor Qi Ming drank three whole bottles of mineral water, and after finishing, he was almost unable to walk.

Ji Juntao was terrified and sent a special car to watch over her so that if the old lady suffered any serious injury, she could be taken to the hospital immediately.

Qi Ming fell off the kang (a heated brick bed) five or six times, bruising his back. As for the part where he foamed at the mouth and died, Qi Ming, in a state of extreme abdominal bloating, drank several mouthfuls of milk with effervescent tablets added, and was thoroughly tormented.

As a result, when the final cut was released, Gu Wenhua cut out the entire scene for artistic effect.

This practice is common in the entertainment industry, but Gu Wenhua was a newcomer after all, and he felt that what he did was not fair, so he kept apologizing.

The host gave a speech, summarizing the ceremony. The creative team then went on stage again to express their gratitude and best wishes to the audience, and the premiere came to an end.

The villagers of Jinhe Village were picked up by special cars and were the first to leave. The actors in the film crew were going to a celebration banquet later, so some went to the restroom and others tidied their clothes, and they did not leave.

Ji Juntao gave Shang Yechu a wink.

Shang Yechu nodded and walked up to Su Ge first.

Su Ge slept soundly, but her neck was a little stiff, and she was rubbing it. As she rubbed it, she yawned, and two streams of tears slid down her cheeks.

Upon seeing Shang Yechu arrive, Su Ge quickly put on a smile to cover up her reaction: "This movie is really well made! I even cried while watching it."

Su Ge's attitude is a microcosm of the attitude of a young, affluent segment of the audience towards this film. This group is a crucial part of the box office market. Judging solely from Su Ge's performance, Shang Yechu could already foresee the film's dismal box office performance.

Shang Yechu had no grounds to blame Su Ge for her rudeness. After all, the life depicted in the film was too far removed from the young lady's life, and people cannot empathize with things that are too far removed from themselves.

Shang Yechu exchanged a few pleasantries with Su Ge with a smile. The young lady Su generously promised to book thirty movie screenings for Shang Yechu, but Shang Yechu hastily declined.

Su Ge then said, "How about I help you share and promote it?"

Shang Yechu shook her head: "Forget it, don't upset your fans."

The biggest beneficiary and most popular character of "Yun Qing Ji" is Shang Ye Chu, while Su Ge, the female lead, is almost purely a supporting character and a mascot. During the drama's promotion, fans were afraid of affecting Su Ge's reputation and dared not make any moves; now that "Yun Qing Ji" has cooled down, they can finally show their skills and avenge their previous disappointments.

Shang Yechu has been subjected to a lot of criticism these past few months. Calling her a "favorite actress," a "connected actress," or a "crown princess" are minor offenses; what's worse are the rumors circulating about her. These rumors target a diverse range of people, from Zheng Bohan and Qin Tianye to Mai Zhenye, the CEO of Maita Pictures, and are crafted with vivid detail, dramatic twists, and lifelike realism. Shang Yechu even thinks that screenwriters in the entertainment industry could go there to learn some writing techniques.

Of course, neither Su Ge nor Shang Yechu cared about these rumors and minor thorns. Su Ge's presence at the premiere today already demonstrated her stance.

However, Su Ge herself was on hiatus for several months, yet she helped promote someone else's movie—and that person was Shang Yechu, whom Su Ge's fans hated to the core—was she really not afraid of being torn apart by her fans?

Su Ge left as if granted a pardon. Shang Yechu saw off a few more guests before lingering to Zheng Bohan's side.

Zheng Bohan remained seated in his chair, his expression solemn, without making a move.

Shang Ye tentatively asked, "Teacher Zheng?"

Zheng Bohan suddenly woke up and looked up at Shang Yechu with a strange expression.

Shang Yechu wasn't sure if Ji Juntao's psychological suggestion technique had worked. Feeling uneasy, she smiled and invited, "Teacher Zheng, would you like to attend our crew's celebration banquet?"

Zheng Bohan did not answer, but slowly stood up and stared at Shang Yechu's face.

Shang Yechu wasn't very sensitive to other people's emotions, but Zheng Bohan's anger was easily displayed, and Shang Yechu immediately sensed it.

Is Zheng Bohan angry? Why is he angry?

Ji Juntao's plan might backfire and be ruined!

Shang Yechu was feeling very uneasy. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ji Juntao in the corner, talking to Teacher Qi Ming while making a "fighting" gesture to her.

Shang Yechu almost laughed out of anger.
