Just one leaked piece of information sent #GallonEra# trending on social media.
If it were just one person, netizens might not care.
But these people are put together.
Netizen: If that's what you're saying, I'm not sleepy anymore!
Qin Yun is a top-tier actress with a proven track record of winning awards. She has a stable fan base and holds a prominent position in both the television and film industries.
Yu Xiangming and Qin Yun are from the same company, and whenever Yu Xiangming appears on stage with Qin Yun, he is accused of being a "co-opted" partner.
This kind of marketing has indeed made Yu Xiangming's name much more well-known.
Finally, there's Shi Xi.
[Shi Xi is playing a supporting role to Qin Yun, and she's even being overshadowed by Yu Xiangming? That's terrible.]
[Yu Xiangming is the crown prince of Tianyu Media, so what is Shi Xi?]
Shi Xi is the top female singer in the Kuai Xue (a type of Chinese dance music) category.
[That's no use, this drama is produced by Tianyu Media. I thought it was a proper drama, but it turns out it was made to promote the crown prince, even using two beauties, Qin Yun and Shi Xi, to carry him.]
[Shi Xi is really pitiful. She finally got a role in a foreign drama, but she still has to carry the torch for people from other companies.]
[The Crown Prince is amazing! Is he really not the illegitimate son of the CEO of Tianyu Media?]
[Tianyu Media seems to favor Yu Xiangming in terms of resources; isn't he the father of Tianyu's CEO?]
[...]
The discussion quickly rose to prominence, making #GallonEra# a hot topic.
Even the Xi family couldn't help but wonder what was going on with this drama.
Fortunately, Ji Yin was there to keep the fans in line, preventing them from believing or spreading rumors and telling them to wait for the official announcement.
Shi Xi looked at the online discussions and was filled with emotion.
Even a fake rumor can trigger a strong backlash from netizens.
Manipulating public opinion is truly terrifying.
But Shi Xi also realized that this was probably a rumor deliberately released by the production team.
One reason is for the sake of generating buzz.
Secondly, it was to test how well netizens accepted Yu Xiangming.
Sure enough, Shi Xi received a message from Han Chuan that very evening.
Han Chuan: [It's decided, Yu Xiangming will be the fourth lead actor and the third male lead.]
Yu Xiangming is the male lead, and netizens will oppose and boycott him.
However, if Yu Xiangming were only the fourth male lead, netizens would be more willing to compromise.
Sure enough, when the official announcement was made, netizens' attitudes changed considerably.
[Yu Xiangming is actually the fourth male lead, third male lead?! Wow?! Is this still the crown prince of Tianyu Media?]
[Holy crap, shouldn't we be surprised that Shi Xi is number five?]
Both are young actors; can they surpass the first three?
[Hopefully, popular actors can all hone their acting skills in serious dramas like these others, and not worry about billing order.]
After some discussion, the two actually gained more goodwill from the general public.
If you want to open a window in a room full of people, everyone will disagree.
But if you want to tear off the roof, others will agree to let you open the window.
Human nature is sometimes just that strange.

At the opening ceremony of "Gallen Era", Shi Xi met with the other actors.
Shi Xi has always kept her distance from male actors, and she is not familiar with any of the main male actors, except for Qin Yun.
But Qin Yun is the female lead and has a lot of screen time.
Shi Xi could only look at the script alone on the side.
Although she is the second female lead, you can tell from her billing order that she has few scenes and is not important.
She has more than ten scenes a day, but she only has one or two.
Even Yu Xiangming had more screen time than her.
Shi Xi was happy to have some free time.
The first day of filming went relatively smoothly.
Apart from Yu Xiangming, who had difficulty getting into character and frequently had to retake scenes, everyone else was able to play their roles well.
The director diligently and conscientiously explained the scenes to everyone, guiding them step by step with their positions and movements.
When necessary, he will even personally demonstrate.
