Not to mention Tianding Entertainment, even other companies, big and small, in the entertainment industry are drooling over this popularity.

After Tianding Entertainment brought down Shi Shan, it quickly promoted another male star to compete with Luan Qing. However, they couldn't find a suitable rival for Shang Yechu. Because Shang Yechu was just too capable! A grassroots woman who could climb into the film industry at the age of twenty-three—these limited descriptions combined were almost a miracle.

Miracles are very difficult to create.

Guanjun Century had the same idea; they searched the company for a long time but still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

But just because it's not happening now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Even a turtle can become famous by staying on the trending topics list, and a wild boar can take off if it's in the right place at the right time. Capital creates stars very quickly. Ji Juntao's mother found out that Tianding Entertainment had relaxed its standards, even down to gender. Any eligible man or woman within a seven-year age gap was on the shortlist, preparing to create two rivals for Shang Yechu.

The sun was setting. The sky took on a clear and rich orange hue.

Shang Yechu snapped out of her reverie and realized that she had been holding the lotus seed in her hand for a long time, and her fingers were even a little numb.

Turning around, I saw that the lotus pods she had bought had already been hollowed out.

Shang Yechu suddenly lost her appetite and tossed the lotus seeds onto the small table beside her.

A soft sound.

Making jokes about names is a big deal or a small deal; normally, it would never cause such a stir. The current uproar is simply due to Guanjun Century or Tianding Entertainment fanning the flames.

Yu Bei is the screenwriter for Guanjun Century, so it's more likely that Guanjun Century is the target this time.

However, even if it was at the company's behest, Yu Bei's willingness to publish that long post is quite shameless.

Shang Yechu silently gazed at the sky when she suddenly felt breathing beside her. Looking up, she saw that it was Shao Guangji.

Shang Yechu had been back on set for two days, and this was the first time she had seen the director outside of work hours. The sky was dim, and Shang Yechu couldn't see the expression on his face.

"Director?" Just as Shang Yechu was about to stand up, Shao Guangji raised his hand and made a pressing motion, indicating that she didn't need to move.

"Try to spend less time online these few days," Shao Guangji said briefly, "so as not to affect your shooting."

Shang Yechu felt that her shooting condition during the day was quite good, and she only needed one take before it was done. However, she still nodded and said, "Okay, director."

Shao Guangji then said, "The Xinghan Award..."

Shao Guangji stopped, seemingly unsure of what to say. He glanced down and saw that Shang Yechu was still waiting for him to continue, so he paused.

Shang Yechu thought he was about to make some profound statement, but then she saw Shao Guangji pick up a lotus seed from the table and start peeling it.

Shao Guangji peeled open the lotus seeds and slowly put the white flesh into his mouth.

Shao Guangji slowly swallowed the lotus seed. After a long while, he said, "Only in turbulent times can true heroes emerge. The Xinghan Award is nothing special."

Shang Yechu's heart skipped a beat. Whether these words were meant to comfort her in a lighthearted manner (Shang Yechu dismissed this wishful thinking considering Shao Guangji's personality), or they reflected Shao's genuine feelings, it was enough to show how arrogant Shao Guangji really was.

The Xinghan Award is nothing special. This was actually Shang Yechu's feeling as well. However, Shang Yechu could never say this to anyone, but Shao Guangji said it anyway.

"...I understand, thank you, director." Shang Yechu ultimately didn't echo those words, but simply smiled and offered a sincere thank you.

The sky had turned a hazy purple without anyone noticing. Another day had passed for actress Ye Chu on the set of "The Heavenly Emperor."
