This year's Spring Festival film season was truly disastrous...

Yes, looking at the cast announced for "Happy Street," I've never heard of any of the actors except for Ye Mianfei. It's completely a makeshift production by Qingping Entertainment, one person carrying a rocket.

The trailer quality is also terrible. A bunch of random gimmicks. I bet all the major scenes in the whole movie are in the trailer...

[A money-grabbing movie.]

[The foliar fertilizer has been promoting itself quite aggressively lately, probably because it's its first leading role in a movie and it wants to do well. If this movie flops, it'll be rejected by the film industry again~]

[Wrong, when has the Liquid Emperor ever been accepted by the film industry? It couldn't be the second lead in the rural film "The Mute Woman," could it? [laughing]]

[I got slapped by the film industry when I was feeling restless [laughing]]

The promotion of "Happiness Street" was put on the agenda with great fanfare.

Although major box office prediction agencies were not optimistic about "Happy Street," Qingping Entertainment still went all out, operating at full capacity, and adopted the attitude of treating a film with a box office exceeding one billion yuan. Most of the company worked overtime, participating in the production of "Happy Street."

Even more anxious than the company was Ye Ya. As Ye Chu's first leading role in a film, everyone understood its importance better than anyone else. The biggest fans had already been urging others to start saving for movie tickets and entire theaters months in advance.

Upon learning of this, Shang Yechu had no choice but to urge the studio to go online and, in the name of the studio, earnestly dissuade them from such actions.

Movies are for mass entertainment, not for the fan economy. If a movie relies heavily on fans to boost its box office, it only proves that it's a bad film. Conversely, if a movie is truly of high quality and performs well at the box office, why should fans care about the small amount of money they spend?

She, Shang Yechu, has lived two lives. If she still hasn't achieved enough to enter the public eye and can only make money off her fans, she might as well hang herself!

Of course, this "lack of ambition" behavior was met with a barrage of insults and abuse. People accused Shang Yechu of being hypocritical and dampening her fans' enthusiasm. It was all old news, and Shang Yechu was used to it.

In addition, Ji Juntao learned that CTS (China Television System) has already decided to appoint Shang Yechu as its charity ambassador. An official announcement is expected around the end of the year.

When people get busy, they become less sensitive to changes in their surroundings. Shang Yechu was no exception.

With so many things piling up, Shang Yechu was constantly on the go, almost forgetting about time. It wasn't until half a month later that she realized Yang Huanyi seemed to have become much colder towards her.

It was a rare day of leisure. Filming went smoothly during the day, and they finished early. The promotion for "Happiness Street" was also complete. Shang Yechu was unusually in a good mood, shaking Yang Huanyi's arm on the bed, wanting her.

After being busy for half a month, Shang Yechu was also feeling restless.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Huanyi glanced at Shang Yechu, then pulled the blanket away and turned his back, leaving Shang Yechu with only the back of his head!

Shang Yechu was completely baffled and could only attribute it to Yang Huanyi being tired. So she simply covered herself with Yang Huanyi's coat and made do for the night.

The next day, filming proceeded as usual, specifically the scene where Zhao Lele witnesses Lin Fengyu and Zhao Cheng's secret affair. Shang Yechu, bursting with pent-up energy, nailed the scene in a single take, much to Luo Yao's delight and praise. The actor playing Zhao Cheng, however, was so frightened he nearly cried.

After the performance, Shang Yechu secretly took Yang Huanyi's hand and washed her hands with soap during the time before dinner.

The actor who played Zhao Cheng wasn't interested in women. Therefore, he kept a distance from Yang Huanyi during filming. Furthermore, Luo Yao was reserved in intimate scenes, so the actor playing Zhao Cheng and Yang Huanyi simply lay down together and held hands, and that was it.

Even so, Shang Yechu still found the boss extremely displeasing. While Yang Huanyi was washing her hands before dinner, he picked up the soap and went over to help her scrub.

Yang Huanyi paused, then turned the tap on full blast. A powerful jet of water shot onto the soap, bounced back, and sprayed all over Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi's faces!

Shang Yechu was blinded by the splashing water and quickly covered her face to turn off the tap. Taking advantage of this moment, Yang Huanyi slipped away and left the bathroom.

Soaked to the bone, Shang Yechu stood dumbfounded in the bathroom, only to be met with a laughing soap face in the sink.

Even if Shang Yechu was slow to realize, she now understood that Yang Huanyi was angry.

Why is she angry?

What is she angry about?

Shang Ye Chu put herself in Yang Huan Yi's shoes and thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized: Yang Huan Yi was upset that she was hindering her career!

The actor from Zhaocheng was just working with Yang Huanyi. But Shang Yechu got jealous out of nowhere, scaring the actor half to death and even washing Yang Huanyi's hands as if she disliked him.

Imagine if Shang Yechu was filming and her lover seemed to mind, making her co-stars feel awkward and delaying her work... she would also be angry.

Thinking of this, Shang Yechu immediately asked her assistant to prepare many gifts and took them to apologize to the actor Zhao Cheng. She also had the actor Zhao Cheng hold up the gifts and take several photos with Shang Yechu, like two good brothers, to show to Yang Huanyi.

Instead of apologizing, Yang Huanyi became even angrier after seeing these photos!

The two had originally shared a bed, with Yang Huanyi sleeping with her back to Shang Yechu. After seeing these photos, Yang Huanyi immediately moved to the sofa!

Shang Yechu realized that she had messed up.

When it comes to love, Shang Yechu is a complete novice. The harder she tries, the more unhappy she becomes.

Left with no other choice, Shang Yechu had to seek advice from others.

First, we can rule out Ji Juntao. If he finds out about the stupid things Shang Yechu has done these past few days, she'll definitely be ostracized. Besides, what if Ji Juntao teaches her some PUA techniques or psychological control skills? Should Shang Yechu use them or not?

Secondly, we can rule out the older folks on the pedestrian street. They would probably tell Shang Yechu to drink traditional Chinese medicine.

Aside from these people, Shang Yechu doesn't have any friends she's close enough to share her romantic history with.

That leaves only one option.

Left with no other choice, Shang Yechu picked a day and, somewhat shyly, knocked on Director Luo Yao's door under the guise of discussing the plot.
