Because the preview screening was a great success, Edward was very satisfied with his new work. In addition, Ye Yingying was a natural topic of conversation, so he planned to find a time to ask marketing accounts to help promote it. He would first release news about Ye Yingying and the president of the Yu Group, and then, when everyone's attention was focused on Ye Yingying and Yu Shishu's brother, he would reverse the situation and say that it was about the preview screening.
Edward then arranged a dinner party, even cleverly placing Ye Yingying next to Yu Jingchen.
He planned to have someone secretly take some photos that were difficult to verify, and then use them to spread rumors later. However, he didn't mention this to anyone, but secretly arranged for relevant personnel to infiltrate the hotel staff at the banquet.
Edward took the initiative to suggest that the main actors, investors, and staff have dinner together. Ye Yingying couldn't refuse, especially since she had just received news from her agent that Edward planned to cast her as the female lead in the movie. Originally, the movie didn't distinguish who the female lead was, but Ye Yingying's final scene received a very good response, and she was very popular. If Ye Yingying were the female lead, it would naturally attract more fans.
Ye Yingying naturally didn't object when she found out. Regardless of whether it blocked anyone's way, it was a great opportunity for her.
After her agent told Ye Yingying the news, Ye Yingying naturally attended the banquet. Even though her seat was coincidentally next to Yu Jingchen, she managed to hide her emotions well.
Edward said with a smile, "This is also an opportunity. It's rare for everyone to get together for a meal after filming. Once you all become famous and become movie stars, top-tier celebrities, it won't be easy for you to reunite."
Edward was good with words, and the other artists present were happy to chime in, saying, "Director, you're so good with words. We'll have to rely on you for opportunities in the future."
"Why are you talking like that? I'm the one who needs your support when I make movies in the future. Look, our sister became a huge hit even before the movie was released. Those actresses handpicked by Yu Shishu hadn't even appeared in any of his films yet, and yet his movie became such a hit. Our sister is generating a lot of buzz right now. Our 'The Wall' has attracted a lot of attention because of her." Edward laughed heartily, and everyone toasted Ye Yingying.
It was supposed to be a toast, but while everyone else was drinking alcohol, Ye Yingying was still holding a juice bottle.
Edward was just joking when he said he wanted Ye Yingying to have a drink with Yu Jingchen. Putting aside the future development of this young lady, just considering that Ye Yingying has someone backing her up, Edward, being such a tactful person, would naturally not offend her.
He secretly used Ye Yingying to promote the movie, always portraying her as a victim, because he was afraid that if he damaged Ye Yingying's image, the capital behind her would trace it back to him. He always assesses the situation carefully.
Edward's decision to replace Ye Yingying with the female lead was a result of weighing the pros and cons. Ye Yingying was already quite outstanding among the main actors, especially just now. The suspenseful, emotional, and oppressive climax was all focused on Ye Yingying. The character was likable and outstanding, Ye Yingying had high popularity and was currently receiving a lot of attention. In addition, Edward also wanted to give Ye Yingying a good impression for her future investments, so he naturally made this decision, which was beneficial in every way.
Edward noticed the atmosphere at the dinner table was pleasant, but Yu Jingchen remained indifferent. Occasionally, female celebrities would send him flirtatious glances, and Lin Chaomu would gaze at him with affection, but he always seemed rather cold.
He suddenly remembered the joke he had made with Yu Jingchen before, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said with a smile, "Little sister, this is our investor. Since the roles were already set before, we're giving you a few extra shots this time. Besides me having faith in you, our CEO Yu also has to approve of you. Come on, toast CEO Yu."
Edward meant for Ye Yingying to symbolically offer a toast with the juice.
Ye Yingying understood Edward's meaning and raised her glass to Yu Jingchen with a polite bow. Little did she know that the man looked at her juice glass, raised his eyebrows, and said meaningfully, "It's not very sincere to offer a toast with juice, little sister."
Ye Yingying: ...
