This group of young people, both men and women, clearly came together.
They were having a great time chatting. Wen Yan and Qin Yulong were talking quietly, but their voices were quickly drowned out.
And coincidentally, they were discussing Wen Yan.
Little did they know, the real person was sitting right next to them.
"Hey, have you guys seen the trending topics these past few days? They're all about Wen Yan."
"I saw it, but which one are you talking about? All of her trending topics have different themes."
"I'm referring to the trending topic about her and Shen Jinghe. To be honest, I liked them both when they were on 'Snow Mountain Diary,' and I didn't expect them to be together again at a charity gala."
"You like both of them? I don't think Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe have much chemistry."
"Huh? No way, didn't you see that amazing picture of them making eye contact? It's really captivating, isn't it?"
"I watched it, but it's just so-so, the lighting is just good. Even if it were the two of us in that setting, our photos together would definitely be great. Actually, I prefer Gu Xiran. I watched the live stream yesterday, and I think Gu Xiran and Wen Yan are a better match. They looked so perfect together on the red carpet."
"What are you talking about? Wen Yan and Gu Xiran? I only know Shen Jinghe, he's a movie actor. Are those two newcomers in the entertainment industry?"
"What the hell? You're not connected to the internet? Don't you know that?"
"Haha, please forgive Xiao Ding. She was working on a ship for a while, and she was gone for half a year. As you know, the signal at sea is not very good."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about this. You haven't been paying attention to these things for almost half a year. Let me give you a quick rundown."
"No need, no need, you guys continue chatting, I'll just search it myself. ...Okay, I've finished reading it. Gu Xiran, I understand now. I actually watched his TV series when I was a kid. It's rare for child stars not to grow up to be less attractive, but he seems to be one of them. He's really getting more and more handsome. I really liked the young master and the little monk he played back then."
But Wen Yan, I searched around and found she doesn't have many works. It seems she only has one released movie and one variety show. She only has that one work, and she wasn't even the lead. How could she be so popular that she's trending on social media every day like you guys say?
Is it because the on-screen couple is so popular? Does this mean the entertainment industry now only cares about online buzz and not the quality of the work itself?
"No, she actually has a historical palace drama and a short film that are yet to be released. She's also currently filming a female-centric drama, co-starring with Gu Xiran."
"But you also said those haven't aired yet, so who knows how good the dramas and movies will be, or how good her acting is? Right now, you're not even discussing her pairings with so-and-so, and I just glanced at it, and it seems like someone named Letian was also rumored to be paired with her."
"That's a long story. Xu Letian's actions were malicious; he deliberately tried to take advantage of her, and that's already been proven. He's already fallen from grace. Besides, Wen Yan herself is the big boss of a film and television company."
"Big boss? So, does she intend to be a boss or just an actress?"
"During the interview, she said that she would focus on acting for the time being."
"Then you still don't have any works. Even if you're a big boss, you don't have any representative works."
"...Well, not yet. After all, there are still dramas waiting to be broadcast, and those dramas might just become hits."
So there isn't one yet.
"If that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say."
"I know what I'm saying might sound harsh, but I'm telling the truth. Hey, they've called our number, let's hurry in."
As soon as the group left, the waiting area became completely silent.
Only Wen Yan and Qin Yulong remained, silently gazing at each other.
Once the young men's figures had completely disappeared from sight...
Wen Yan then spoke up: "Yu Long, do you think I was hit by a close-range ultimate attack just now?"
Qin Yulong thought about it seriously: "They didn't recognize you, so strictly speaking, it doesn't count as being face-to-face."
“Okay,” Wen Yan nodded, “but what that person said earlier was right. I really don’t have any outstanding works to show for myself right now. I suddenly thought of those two interviews. They probably invited me because they saw my current popularity, but in fact, I only have one movie right now, and I’m not even the lead. It makes me feel embarrassed to go on them.”
"When did you become so negative? Who says you can't give interviews after only one movie has been released? Don't worry, I'll discuss the interview content with them in advance."
Wen Yan nodded: "I must make sure that next time the audience mentions me, it's not because of any messy gossip, but because of my endless stream of new works!"
Qin Yulong's eyes were full of smiles: "That's more like what you would say. Let's work hard together. You and I are definitely not inferior to anyone, whether it's Gu Xiran or Shen Jinghe. You are no worse than them!"
-
In the days that followed, Wen Yan focused on filming "The Legend of Chang'an".
He has almost stopped paying attention to the rumors circulating online.
However, no one expected that due to a recent document issued by the relevant higher authorities, the broadcast of "The Legend of Chang'an" would be hopeless.
The early investment in "The Legend of Chang'an" was tens of millions of yuan, and a lot of effort was put into the script, sets, costumes and props.
The entire series is almost finished filming, but we were notified that it cannot be broadcast on satellite TV. The investors held an emergency meeting overnight.
