Some reporters suspected: It is said that Ye Chu has a very bad relationship with her boss, Mr. Ji, and is greatly hindered by him. Could it be that Mr. Ji rejected the script for the TV series?
Some reporters speculated that Ye Chu might be involved in a major national project (after all, she has connections), and would be joining a production team after the New Year. She wanted to fulfill her wish to film "Happiness Street" before starting the project.
Some reporters even speculated wildly: Rumors circulated in the industry that Xu Hanwen stole the script for "The Legend of Qingyun" from Zheng Bohan. Ye Chu and Zheng Bohan were known to have a close relationship; could it be that she followed in Zheng Bohan's footsteps, and her script was stolen by some unknown person, Xu Hanwen?
If we could uncover that reason, it would be truly big news!
Some reporters have even come up with headlines:
"A 200 Million Yuan TV Series Project Falls Through! Ye Chu Tearfully Recounts the Past!"
A Blessing in Disguise? What's the current state of this TV series that Ye Chu missed out on?
Without him, Happiness Street would not have existed! Unveiling the secrets behind the film "Happiness Street".
Rumors circulating online claim that the budget for "Happy Street" is two or even three hundred million yuan. This is, of course, utter nonsense. Even if you tied Gu Wenhua and Shang Yechu together, and risked Ji Juntao's reputation, no one would give "Happy Street" such a large investment. These rumors are nothing more than a shameless marketing ploy by Qingping Entertainment to boost box office revenue.
These reporters were quite professional; they didn't pry openly on the spot and appeared very calm and composed. But in reality, their minds were racing, and some of them, sitting further back, had already quietly pulled out their phones to search.
Shang Yechu achieved two goals at once: he subtly avoided discussing the original novel while smoothly introducing the topic of the commercial street's demolition. The purpose of today's roadshow was thus successfully accomplished.
Some things don't necessarily need to be said by Ye Chu herself.
People tend to believe what they "discover." The truths painstakingly uncovered by journalists and netizens are often more moving than the dry narration of Shang Yechu. People spontaneously apply countless filters of admiration to the former, automatically filling in the logical gaps, infinitely beautifying those involved, and ultimately weaving a poignant and inspiring story.
At that time, Qingping Entertainment will only need to provide support from behind the scenes.
Furthermore, if Sheng Wen later criticizes "Happy Street," Shang Ye Chu's actions might seem justifiable because of these exposed "truths." They could even market a touching storyline of "Ye Chu torn between family and friendship, tearfully breaking with her best friend to save the pedestrian street."
As for the fabricated TV series script, no one could possibly access Shang Yechu's computer to see if it even existed. Shang Yechu made it up without a shred of guilt.
No wonder Ji Juntao teased Shang Yechu as a born liar; his words were half true and half false, flowing seamlessly from his lips. When they came out of his mouth, they were so sincere that even Shang Yechu himself believed them.
The bait had been cast, and Shang Ye had successfully made his exit. During the subsequent roadshow, the reporters were clearly distracted. However, during the fan interaction segment, a few fans were particularly active, creating a lively atmosphere.
The Valentine's Day roadshow concluded in this perfect atmosphere.
