Lu Wanzheng took out her phone and directly forwarded the message that the official Weibo account of "The Great Path of Splendor" had just posted.
The film "The Great Journey" just posted on Weibo, tagging the main actors and announcing that it will be released in theaters nationwide next Wednesday.
The Weibo post featured official photos of the main actors, along with accompanying text. However, what's noteworthy is that the first photo was of Wei Tianyu, which is normal since he's the male lead. But the second photo wasn't of the female lead, Wang Xiyou, but of the second female lead, and the third photo wasn't of her either, but of the second male lead, Mu Ziying.
There are already many comments about this in the comments section.
[Why is Xiyou, the female lead, featured last? The production team has really gone too far.]
[As a complete bystander, I strongly boycott this movie. Their methods are incredibly unreliable. The female lead's photo is placed at the very end! I don't know if it was intentional or accidental by the production team, but I think Wang Xiyou deserves an explanation.]
[To the person upstairs: Could you please delete all photos of Wang Xiyou from your Weibo account before commenting? You claim to be a fan of Wang Xiyou and yet you call yourself a complete bystander? You're just as hypocritical as Wang Xiyou. She blamed everything on her manager and assistant before; I really don't know if her heart is completely rotten.]
Although Wang Xiyou did offend the production team before, it feels like the production team went a bit too far.
[Is there a problem with this? Anyone who has read the novel knows that both Wang Xiyou and Lu Wanzheng could be considered the female lead. It mainly depends on your personal definition. I think the director believes that Jiang Wan, played by Lu Wanzheng, is the female lead, so what? I don't see anything wrong with that. Besides, Wang Xiyou's behavior after the press conference probably chilled the director's team to the bone. Because of her agent's actions, the film and the director's team have suffered criticism. How dare she put her photo at the front?]
[I agree with the comment above. If Wang Xiyou had any shame, he wouldn't have let his fans cause trouble here. Idols are responsible for their fans' actions. My opinion of Wang Xiyou has now plummeted to negative levels.]
[To be honest, Wang Xiyou deserves it. Even if she didn't do what happened at the press conference, her manager is her manager and represents her. She can only blame herself for having such a manager.]
[Let me explain. Wang Xiyou's agent is from Wang's Entertainment, and Wang Xiyou is the heiress of Wang's Entertainment. How could an agent from her own company act on her own initiative without the approval of those above her? That's impossible. Only someone incredibly naive would think Wang Xiyou has nothing to do with this. And later, when Lu Wanzheng's scandals were exposed, Wang Xiyou pushed the blame onto her assistant. The assistant had no grudge against Lu Wanzheng; why would she bother collecting dirt on her? Wasn't she being instructed by someone? Is Wang Xiyou truly innocent?]
After Lu Wanzheng forwarded this Weibo post, she also wrote a sentence: "Having mastered the Eight Trigrams Formation of Western Sichuan, she holds the military tally in her sleeves. Women have always been willing to accept this fate, so why must a general be a man?"
This poem is used to highlight the bravery of women in defending the territory, and Lu Wanzheng believes it is very fitting for the character Jiang Wan that she plays.
Jiang Wan wanted to serve her country, so she disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield. She achieved great success, but only for the sake of the country's stability. She disliked the intrigue and backstabbing in the officialdom. After returning to the capital, she immediately retired from public life and did not care about the emperor's rewards.
She is truly a woman of great righteousness. In terms of character design, she is indeed a female lead who is more in line with the public's psychology than the character played by Wang Xiyou. Moreover, her values are in line with the values of people today, making her easy to understand.
After he posted on Weibo, actors who had previously worked with her immediately commented below.
[Zhong Yunyue: Congratulations, wishing you great sales.]
[Xu Feiyang: It's finally going to be released! I'll definitely go see it.]
[Han Xi: Congratulations! The female general looks absolutely stunning!]
[Feng Bo: Do you give away movie tickets?]
[Holy crap, it's the live Zhong Yingdi (actor of the renowned actor), and Xu Xiaosheng (actor of the popular actor Xu Xiaosheng)!!]
They had worked together before, and the episode of "Seeking the Past" featured actors from "The Great Journey," so they knew each other.
[Lu Wanzheng is so handsome! I think I'm going to turn gay.]
[What are your requirements for a partner? I can do laundry and cook, be cute, and earn money. I just hope you won't be too fixated on gender.]
[I'm attracted by the young lady's looks, but I don't know how good her acting is. Anyway, I'm starting to feel a little flutter in my heart and am looking forward to Lu Wanzheng's new movie.]
After Lu Wanzheng posted on Weibo, she discovered that the official Weibo account of "The Great Glory" had posted another Weibo, this time a lottery, saying that 100 fans would be randomly selected to receive a movie ticket each.
Lu Wanzheng naturally wanted to join in the fun. First, she announced a lottery to give away movie tickets to ten people. Then, she said that if she won a movie ticket from the official Weibo account, she would draw ten more fans to give away a movie ticket each, and the winners could ask her to reimburse them for the movie ticket.
Lu Wanzheng's actions immediately drew attention to her Weibo account, with many people forwarding her posts. Among them were those who forwarded the official Weibo post, hoping to increase their chances of winning. If one of them won, they could save some money and use it to buy milk tea and popcorn.
Xiao Qifeng came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. When he saw Lu Wanzheng return and sitting on the bed playing on her phone, he immediately went over and stood next to her. The familiar scent of men's shower gel wafted over him, and the warm, humid air enveloped Lu Wanzheng.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Qifeng asked, holding Lu Wanzheng and resting his chin on her shoulder.
Lu Wanzheng moved her phone screen towards him. "My last movie is coming out this Wednesday. Shall we go see it together?"
Watching a movie together? They've been together for so long, but they've never actually gone to the movies together. Before, it was because they weren't public with each other, and he was afraid that Lu Wanzheng would be recognized if they went to public places, so he avoided going to crowded places like movie theaters.
But now...
Xiao Qifeng: "Don't you have work on Wednesday? What if you're busy until very late?"
Lu Wanzheng turned off her phone. This was indeed a good question. She pondered for a moment, "I can talk to the director and ask him to move my scenes forward so I can leave work early and then we can go see a movie. Or I can just invite the whole crew to go see a movie together."
I don't know if Xiang Yan will agree to these things.
"Then you should talk to the director first, and if he agrees, we'll go see it."
"Okay, it's a deal then. If he agrees, you have to make time for me that night."
"Um."
"I'm going to take a shower now." Lu Wanzheng put her phone on the bedside table, took her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
Xiao Qifeng then directly sent a message to his assistant on his phone, saying that he wanted to treat the company's employees to a movie. If they went on Wednesday, he would reimburse the entire family for movie tickets and the cost of snacks during the movie. If they went on the following days, he would reimburse the entire family for movie tickets, regardless of how many movies they watched.
With such generous benefits, it's natural that many people would choose to go to the movies on Wednesdays.
He heard that the box office performance during the movie's release period is crucial, especially the first day's box office, so he received the most generous bonus on Wednesday.
When Su Ge received the message, he was stunned. The president invited the employees to watch a movie and even specified which movie. When he saw the name Xiao Qifeng sent, he completely understood. It turned out that it was to promote the president's wife's movie.
He immediately shared the information in the WeChat groups of each department, asking the department heads to inform their subordinates.

Regarding the fact that Wang Xiyou's photo was placed last despite her being the female lead, netizens unanimously believe that she brought it upon herself. Why did she have to offend and scheme against the production team? Wang Xiyou can only swallow her anger and bear it all.
In addition, online public opinion has gradually shifted from this incident to whether Wang Xiyou is truly innocent.
It can only be said that Wang Xiyou had previously cultivated a relatively positive image in front of netizens, and many loyal fans still believed that she was innocent and resolutely refused to believe that what was said online was done by Wang Xiyou.
When Wang Xiyou found out, she smashed the room into a mess. Just yesterday, the Yan family and the Wang family canceled their engagement. Wang Xiyou was very irritable. If anything displeased her, she would hit and scold the servants around her, scaring them so much that they dared not approach her at all. The atmosphere in the entire Wang family was very gloomy.
Just then, a heavy thud came from Wang Xiyou's room. The servants could imagine what Wang Xiyou was doing in the room, but they dared not go in, fearing that they would be implicated.
Wang Xiyou held her phone, watching her fans constantly comfort her, but even more so, she was being insulted by her haters, and even bystanders were saying bad things about her.
She couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die; she had to bring Lu Wanzheng down.
Wang Kun was in his study, feeling very troubled. Recently, his company had encountered serious problems. Even though he didn't have much talent in managing companies, his many years of experience told him that his company was under a malicious attack by Zhao Yu. Someone was behind their company, but he hadn't yet found out who it was.
Many collaborations that had already been agreed upon and were just one contract away from being finalized were suddenly dropped when the other party decided not to continue the negotiations, resulting in significant losses for them.
Even the Yan family, who had always been on good terms with them, immediately broke off their engagement and distanced themselves after seeing their company run into trouble; people's hearts were cold.
Wang's Entertainment is now riddled with problems. Wang Kun leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed. If she were in this situation now, she would probably have noticed the signs at the very beginning and resolved the matter in no time.
Wang Kun rubbed his temples wearily. His mind was a mess, and he had no idea how to deal with it. He took out a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and the scarlet sparks flickered. Just as he exhaled a puff of smoke, he heard a loud bang not far away. Such a sound had been frequently heard during this period.
He knew it was his daughter smashing things again. In the past, he wouldn't have cared, but now, in this time of crisis, his daughter was still preoccupied with those messy things online.
He went out the door and back to his room, where he saw Zhao Ping sitting in front of the mirror, completely oblivious to the crisis, focused solely on skincare. Zhao Ping had started skincare relatively late, and the wrinkles around her eyes were already quite deep.
Wang Kun slammed the door shut, startling Zhao Ping so much that her hand trembled.
Why did you slam the door so hard? You scared me to death.
“This house is mine, I can do whatever I want. All you do all day is dress up and play mahjong. You have no interaction with those high-society ladies and can’t help when it matters. And your daughter, the internet is full of rumors about her, slandering her, full of loopholes, and people have caught her red-handed, bringing shame to the whole family.”
Seeing that Wang Kun was venting all his frustrations from work on her, Zhao Ping immediately lost her temper, adopting the shrewish demeanor of a middle-aged woman yelling at someone in the market: "All I care about is dressing up! Doesn't my appearance represent your image? What kind of status does the Wang family have? How could those high-society ladies possibly look at me? And what do you mean by 'my daughter'? Isn't she your daughter too? How old is she? Do you think you can get away with things like what you did back then, without anyone noticing?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Kun immediately glared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Ha," Zhao Ping was clearly not the type to let herself be wronged, so she went all out. "Back then, although I did get help with your ex-wife's death, you were the one who started the plan and cleaned up the mess. Don't try to pin it all on me. This matter has been kept secret for so many years, and no one knows about it yet, but are you at peace with yourself? Aren't you afraid she'll come looking for you at midnight?"
"Shut up!" Wang Kun, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Zhao Ping across the face. This matter had been buried in his heart for many years. Back then, after Lu Qianyu found out about his affair, she insisted on divorcing him. Once the two divorced, Wang's Entertainment would be returned to its rightful owner. As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He didn't want to live a poor life anymore. Only when Lu Qianyu died would everything she owned truly belong to him. So he and Zhao Ping plotted this together, arranging a car accident on Lu Qianyu's way home after the divorce, causing her to leave this place.
"Keep this to yourself, or you'll regret it." Wang Kun said viciously, giving her a cold look, opening the door, and slamming it shut behind him as he left.
Zhao Ping slumped onto the bed, her eyes vacant.
Unbeknownst to the two, someone secretly recorded their conversation. The two people talking inside the room could be clearly heard at the door. She heard footsteps moving towards the door and was so frightened that she immediately ran away.
