Xu Qiqi's face turned pale: "Huh?"
“You entered the industry late, so it’s normal that you don’t know the inside story.” Ye Chu gently touched her head: “But she can’t get justice for herself because the person who did it has too powerful a backer.”
Xu Qiqi shuddered; she didn't understand any of this.
"In the entertainment industry, never easily choose to oppose anyone, and never casually get into conflicts or disputes with others." This was the first lesson Ye Chu learned from Chang Ji, because you never know if the other party has someone behind them, or if they will turn around and kill you in an instant.
Xu Qiqi nodded and looked at her gratefully. Ye Chu's image in her heart suddenly became much taller. She was not only an idol, but now she was also her teacher.
"By the way, where's your manager?" Ye Chu raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously. The two of them were chatting secretly here, so why wasn't the other person's manager in a hurry to find someone?
"Ah!" Xu Qiqi blushed. "I don't have an agent." She hesitated for a moment. "I'm not a formal actress yet. I just wanted to try acting out of curiosity."
She stammered, "I... I should go back now. Thank you, Sister Chuchu!"
Ye Chu escorted her to the door, and then watched as Xu Qiqi got into a luxury car.
"..." Although it was only for a moment, Ye Chu saw another person in the back seat of the car. If her memory was reliable enough, she remembered that the person seemed to be some kind of legendary business figure who often appeared in financial reports? What was his name again? Xi... Xi Yuxi.
Not sure if her guess was right, Ye Chu opened her phone and searched on Baidu. Sure enough, it said: Xi Yuxi, president of Xi's Group. The Xi family is one of the oldest and most prestigious families, comparable to the Gu family.
Ye Chu stood frozen at the door, wondering if there was any need for her to say what she had just said. After all, if Xu Qiqi had Xi Yuxi protecting her, she really didn't have anything to worry about.
Clearly, Ye Chu did not realize that Gu Yu was just as good as Xi Yuxi, and with Gu Yu around, she didn't have to worry about anything.
"Chu Chu? What are you standing here for? Get in the car." Chang Ji came over and patted her on the shoulder. The car tires had already been changed.
Back home, Ye Chu couldn't help but tell Gu Yu about how she met Xu Qiqi that day.
Ye Chu: It's so embarrassing! I said a whole bunch of things there...
Gu Yu: In short, you meant well, it's nothing.
Ye Chu: Even so, I just said earlier that you don't know who's behind the other party, ahhh...
Gu Yu: But you didn't have a conflict with her, did you?
Ye Chu: ...Anyway, it's really awkward!
Gu Yu: Okay, good girl.
Ye Chu let out a breath and poured herself a glass of warm water.
Gu Yu received a message from his "young master friend," with whom he rarely contacted.
Xi Yuxi: Tell your wife to stay away from Qiqi.
Gu Yu: Why? Is there anything wrong with idol worship?
Xi Yuxi: ...
Gu Yu: [Smiling face]
Xi Yuxi: She solemnly swore to me that she would not cause trouble or cause me any problems.
Gu Yu: Isn't that great?
Clearly, the usually cold-faced Xi Yuxi couldn't win against Gu Yu, the smiling tiger, on this issue. He closed the chat interface, turned around dejectedly, and hugged Xu Qiqi, who was watching TV.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qiqi gently pushed him.
"..." Xi Yuxi remained silent as usual. He watched TV with Xu Qiqi, and Ye Chu's "Shadow" was playing. Xu Qiqi's eyes were already red.
"Does it have to be acting?"
"Huh? No, I'm only doing this once. I saw Ye Chu in person! I even talked to her a lot. It was great. I love her."
"..."
Gu Yu had no say in how upset his friend was; he was busy exchanging sweet nothings with Ye Chu, the kind of sweet talk that comes with being in the throes of new love.
Ye Chu's cheeks flushed from his teasing, and she finally huffed and puffed that she needed to rest early.
Gu Yu: Okay, good night.
Ye Chu: Good night.
I slept without any dreams.
Three days later, Ye Chu received a notification from Chang Ji that she had successfully landed the role of He Rou and would join the crew in seven days.
Before joining the production team, Ye Chu's first task was to polish the script.
But before that, she needs to read the original novel's plot and compare it with the script.
The novel's plot was captivating; Ye Chu was immediately engrossed. She laughed and cried along with the unfolding story, shedding tears for the sweet love between the male and female protagonists.
Looking at the novel's comment section again, the pinned post was a long comment from the author, followed by several highly praised and featured reviews. To understand the current situation, Ye Chu directly sorted the comments in reverse chronological order and easily saw the flame war hidden beneath the earlier comments.
"Is the author blinded by greed? Why does a perfectly good novel have to be adapted into a TV series?"
"I've given up. I don't want to see my favorite characters ruined by TV dramas, so I'd rather not see it and have peace of mind."
"Those who are criticizing the author, please use your brains. Remaking an adaptation isn't something the author can decide, okay? What are you criticizing here for?"
"Which bastard is deliberately giving negative scores here? Are they crazy?"
"Speechless. Aren't they all just bullies who prey on the weak? It's not like the author decided to remake it. If you're so capable, go criticize the website. Why are you criticizing the author?"
"Every time a book is adapted into a film or television series, the author gets severely criticized. I don't understand the thought process of you people."
"I'm no longer a fan. I really liked the novel, but now that it's being adapted into a TV series, it's going to be ruined."
"Are you all precognitionists or time travelers? You're all talking about how you've been ruined as if you've watched a TV drama."
"I hate people who keep saying they're not watching the remake and are unfollowing the show. I mean, nobody's holding a knife to your throat and forcing you to watch the drama, right? If you don't like it, just don't watch it! Why do you have to keep babbling on like that? And those who are telling the author not to agree to the remake, are you going to pay for the author's money? Stop just blindly following the trend of hating, okay? Use your brain!"
"The comment above is right. Speechless. Can you please stop turning the bookstore's comment section into a Weibo comment section? If you're going to comment here, please offer writing suggestions and discuss the characters and plot with others. Please stop with these emotional comments."
"It's a complete mess!"
Ye Chu sighed helplessly, not surprised by the situation, and then she opened her phone again.
To fit the role, in addition to understanding He Rou, she also needed to understand He Rou's character in the game, Su Ling, who was named "Add More Sugar".
Ye Chu opened the game, created a character named Su Ling, and began this short journey through the martial arts world.
When she finally finished the quest and could see the world chat, she moved her character to the edge of the scene and hung there to watch the world.
Sure enough, because of the TV series adaptation, many gamers learned about the novel's existence and the TV series, and are now discussing it.
Is this little game about to become a hit?
"Please attract more girls to play the game, I haven't found a romantic partner yet!"
"Want to dream ahead? A single-player game is fine, right?"
