The fans were all very well-mannered and listened to advice. They said it was not recommended to stake out the school, and indeed, very few people went to stake out the school gate.
Wen Yan no longer makes a point of wearing a hat and mask when she goes out, and she generally doesn't refuse when classmates from school want to take photos with her.
As a result, her photos with other people would be posted online every now and then, which indirectly clarified many false rumors.
Since then, most of the online discussions about her have focused on her outfit on the day the photos were released, as well as how diligently she attended classes every day.
Very few people mention "scandals" like "CP Queen" anymore.
For a whole year, apart from attending the press conference for "Palace Wall Lock" and the promotional activities for the short film "The Last Pangolin", Wen Yan did not attend any other public events.
That year, Shen Jinghe won almost every award he could get in the film industry. Online, he was known as the most successful actor who had successfully shed his "traffic star" image and had the most die-hard fans.
This year belonged to Jiang Wanwan, the female protagonist of the original book, who became a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry thanks to several hit dramas.
This year was also a year of great success for Wang Che's acting career. With a role that had extremely high national recognition, he became the most popular "husband" this year, and he received so many scripts that he couldn't keep up with the demand.
During her year away from the entertainment industry, Wen Yan didn't play any leading roles, but when she visited these actors on set, they would pull her aside to play some small cameo roles.
When these minor roles were revealed or aired, some people online criticized her for making ineffective filming.
However, towards the end of the year, Wen Yan took her film script, "The Silent Secret," to these big names to collect "favors."
After a year of preparation, the movie script based on Xu Jie, the father of Wen Yan's original character, has finally been completed.
However, in order to protect Xu Jie and her own personal safety, Wen Yan changed the characters' job positions and the major cases that occurred that year.
They also invited Shen Jinghe and Jiang Wanwan to play the male and female leads, portraying the parents.
Wen Yan and Wang Che play the roles of the younger generation.
This news caused a huge uproar online as soon as it was exposed.
"Wow, that's awesome! I heard Wen Yan wrote this original script herself. Is this true?"
'Absolutely authentic! I swear on the qualifications of three generations of my family to take the civil service exam!'
'666, you've brought out the qualifications for three generations of civil service exam takers, then I trust you.'
"Wow, I thought her year-long hiatus, claiming to be for further studies, was just a persona-building exercise. Turns out she's genuinely working on something serious, not slacking off. She's even written a movie script and invited a Best Actor and top-tier celebrities!"
"She's really impressive. To be honest, a year ago she was on the same level as Jiang Wanwan and Wang Che, but things are different now. Jiang Wanwan and Wang Che have become very popular, and I didn't expect her to be in a movie. She's definitely got some talent."
'Is that strange? It just means they have a genuine friendship. Wang Che already posted a long article stating that our Da Yanzi and Xiao Chezi will inevitably meet at the top sooner or later.'
"Exactly, Jiang Wanwan and Wen Yan are also good friends. They formed a close friendship back in the variety show 'Snow Mountain Diary.' Later, when another female lead from 'Palace Wall Lock' had an accident, Jiang Wanwan even helped Wen Yan's crew out of trouble. Then, in 'The Legend of Chang'an,' Jiang Wanwan had to withdraw from the role due to personal reasons, and Wen Yan was again brought in to fill in. And in her new drama, Wen Yan even made a cameo appearance as her best friend. They're practically sharing resources, right?"
'But I feel she's no longer worthy of Wanwan's status; Wanwan should choose better scripts.'
"Are you a fan of Wanwan? Don't tarnish Wanwan's friendship, okay? When 'Palace Wall Lock' aired, it was so popular, and the rumors about them were exposed together. It's just that Wen Yan didn't take on any commercials or do any appearances afterward; she chose to continue her studies. What's this talk about being a good match? Delete this."
"To be honest, I think Wen Yan has a very good sense of her place. She's the screenwriter, and might even direct, but she didn't keep the lead role for herself; she gave it to Jiang Wanwan instead. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this movie and hope it gets released soon."
"Waaaa, I owe Yan Yan a movie ticket. I wasn't in China when 'The Voice' was showing, so I didn't have a chance to appreciate her acting."
'I'm really looking forward to it too, and this is the second movie featuring the "He Yan Yue Se" duo, I'm so excited!'
"Wow, you CP fans are really shipping this too? This time, Shen Jinghe and Jiang Wanwan are actually a couple!"
"If we can't ship them as a couple in the drama, then let's ship them together! Aside from their cameo in a movie, they haven't been seen together for over half a year. We're already very happy to see them together."
"No, we haven't even seen the script yet, why are you all praising it so highly? What if it's a terrible movie?"
"Sister, do you want to check whose picture you're using? It's the picture of award-winning actor Shen Jinghe! In all his years in the industry, aside from two terrible TV dramas he did when he was still unknown, he's never taken on a bad script, and he's never done a cameo in a bad film just because of a favor. Even if you don't believe in Wen Yan's screenwriting abilities, you should at least believe in Shen Jinghe's ability to choose scripts!"
"Um... I've thought about it carefully, and what you said makes a lot of sense. I'll just wait and see."
Putting aside these netizens, Wen Yan herself is also incredibly excited.
The project "The Silent Secret" has been in preparation for a long time, and the actors' schedules have been mostly coordinated.
Actually, filming could start now, but she wanted everyone to have a good New Year first, so she set the start date after the New Year.
-
On New Year's Eve, the entire Shen family gathered together for their reunion dinner.
This is Wen Yan's second New Year in this world.
It's quite dramatic, actually. Wen Yan has been living in this house for almost two years, but she still hasn't met Shen Jingcheng, the third son of the Shen family.
He was still busy with work during the Chinese New Year this year, and even when Su Yang wanted to video chat with him, he had no signal.
Wen Yan found it outrageous, and only after asking did she realize that Shen Jingcheng was currently in a trap.
As for why it was in the pit?
It turns out he was an archaeologist who had been spending the last few years in an ancient tomb in the desert.
In Wen Yan's limited memories of her third brother, Shen Jingcheng, he seemed to be a promising young professor at a prestigious university, who usually taught graduate students and occasionally published one or two papers, living a very leisurely life.
It now appears that his identity is far more than just that of a professor; he is also a renowned archaeologist, an academic committee member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and a member of the National Cultural Relics Committee of the Ministry of Culture, holding a variety of prestigious titles.
In Shen Yuan's words, his son had long been handed over to the state.
