Sitting in front of the movie's celebratory poster, Director Wei Er wore a timid and mournful expression, unable to muster a smile.
"It's over."
"I'm finished."
"You could say I'll just let it go if I don't make any money."
"Now that this movie is making so much money, given our dean's money-grubbing attitude, do you think he'll let me off the hook for the second, third, fourth, and nth movies?"
"When will this life of mine ever end?"
Knowing Yu Ningning's stingy nature as well, Tang Seng was immediately speechless for a moment before patting Director Wei Er on the shoulder with a heavy heart and saying, "Director Wei, please accept my condolences."
While leisurely sipping her coffee, Yu Ningning sat at another table, watching this scene with a sly smile, revealing a devilish grin.
"Some people these days are really naive."
"You don't want to find out who you were in your past life, you just want to finish filming the remaining sequels and get rid of me? What a pipe dream you're having."
"The coffee is so good, it's great!"
...
Due to its continued box office success, this film truly became a phenomenal hit that year, attracting considerable attention and discussion.
In particular, the story of Su Daji, which was witnessed by the public, is about her journey from shooting low-brow commercials to becoming a sensation in the entertainment industry, and her grand farewell before retiring due to illness.
While most people were still discussing whether this violated Su Daji's rights, or whether it was too realistic and would take viewers out of the story, some imaginative netizens even started to fantasize.
"I'm betting that everything in this movie is true! Otherwise, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand on live stream."
"Holy crap, upstairs, I had the same thought! To be honest, the first time I saw Su Daji, I felt she didn't belong to this era; she had an indescribable ancient air about her. Watching the movie in the theater only amplified that feeling. Later, when I told my friends about it, they wouldn't believe me, and we almost got into an argument right there..."
"I wasn't the only one with this idea."
"Leaving aside Su Daji, have you ever wondered how Chairman Yu of Yaoxing Entertainment managed to find so many actors with such different temperaments who resemble ancient celebrities so much if he didn't have a system?"
"That's right. How come out of 1.7 billion people in China, those with special temperaments all gathered around Yu Dong's place, and then left inexplicably for some reason? Isn't it because those bound souls left voluntarily after meeting the conditions?"
"Let's not even talk about these historical figures. Yu Dong went from being a fake heiress who was kicked out of her home to becoming the head of the largest entertainment company in the country in just two or three years. That's like the protagonist in a novel."
"Okay, I guess I really am just an NPC in this world."
"Upstairs, you're getting more and more absurd. Wake up and take your medicine."
...
Because there are so many mysteries and doubts, this topic has attracted more and more people to join in. After the release of movies such as "Qin Shi Huang", "The Emperor and the Assassin", and "The Legend of Li Qingzhao", it has become increasingly popular. It has even attracted official media to issue clarifications on the theme of "believing in science and opposing feudal superstition".
Of course, there are also stubborn people.
As the topic gained traction, a reporter finally mustered the courage to ask Yu Ningning this question during an interview.
"Chairman Yu, is your company's series of films on new interpretations of historical and cultural figures based on true events? Are the actors and stories in the films... all based on real people who actually appeared in the entertainment industry?"
Having anticipated this reaction, or rather, that was her intention all along, Yu Ningning simply glanced at her phone again and smiled mysteriously.
"Guess?"
