Chapter 57
Chapter 57
When celebrities donate money, they usually post about it, both to do good and to promote their image. Few celebrities quietly do good deeds without seeking approval.
Saving someone on the roadside is a rare and precious event, more effective than any donation.
Ye Chuyang said, "It's a good thing, but forget it, it's not a big deal. I don't want to take up public resources."
These days, are there still entertainers like this? It's like a young woman getting married—I've never seen anything like it before. Yang Yu was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.
I feel like I can't convince others without offering some solid advice. Although the company has to appease Ye Chuyang given his current status, they generally end up doing things his way.
But he has never been the type of person who uses force to intimidate others.
"Actually, I don't want to involve others. Dr. Shen saved the person, and he's not in the entertainment industry. Excessive exposure is not convenient for ordinary people."
Who is this Dr. Shen? Yang Yu had a million questions swirling in her mind, instinctively feeling that this person was no ordinary individual.
This is the first person who could get Su Liao to personally call and remove a trending topic.
The problem is, this wasn't even something Dr. Shen herself requested. She never pays attention to trending topics.
Yang Yu responded with "oh, oh," her mind racing. "Okay, Brother Liao, no problem. I'll report to the boss first and then contact Weibo to remove the trending topic."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yang. I'll definitely treat you to a meal next time we meet." Ye Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.
Yang Yu giggled: "No problem, Brother Liao, just give me a call anytime if you need anything. And..."
She changed the subject, "Have you had any recent relationship changes, Brother Liao? I don't mean to pry, I just want the company to be prepared in case the paparazzi take photos, so we won't be caught off guard."
Ye Chuyang knew she meant dating.
In this respect, he hasn't caused the company any trouble—so it seems there's nothing to be proud of.
Very few of the scandals in his career were fabricated by the publicity company during the promotion of a drama. These were all from a few years ago.
Nowadays, fans are disgusted by pairing celebrities with other artists, and celebrities are quite careful about it in private—they all feel that they are in their rising phase and it is more important to focus on their careers.
The management company is quite strict in this regard, especially for young artists who have only recently entered the industry. Ye Chuyang heard that nowadays, newly signed artists have to report their relationships, and there are also some unwritten rules prohibiting them from dating.
Ye Chuyang frowned slightly. It seemed that Yang Yu had gotten used to taking care of the children and even wanted to pry into his private affairs.
"I'm sorry, it's not convenient," he said.
The tone is soft, but the meaning is hard.
Ye Chuyang is known in the industry for being easy to work with and having a good temper. She can basically meet the requirements of her fans, partners, and company. When she is not filming, she is very humble. After becoming famous, she is even more careful with her words and actions.
But it's not without principles.
Otherwise, all these years would have been for nothing.
Yang Yu was stunned and immediately realized that she had overstepped her bounds. She hadn't slept well last night, and her brain wasn't working properly today. How could she have blurted out such a thing?
"Sorry, Brother Liao, I misspoke. I'll take care of the trending topic first, so as not to delay your work."
She was quite clever and immediately changed direction.

When Shen Qingyuan arrived on set, Ye Chuyang had already filmed a few shots and was waiting for the scene to change.
She was unaware of the trending topic, and even less aware of what Ye Chuyang was doing behind the scenes.
There's a photo of her rescuing someone online, but the lighting is bad and the image quality is quite poor. People who don't know her wouldn't recognize her at all.
Even so, Ye Chuyang felt it was best not to involve her. He didn't want his fame to bring her excessive attention.
"What brings you here?" he said. A little surprised.
Shen Qingyuan smiled. Perhaps she had poured her heart out too much yesterday, and she felt a little uncomfortable looking at this face today. People are often such contradictory beings.
I wanted to confide in someone, but after confiding too much, I felt a little ashamed and frustrated.
She had never told her parents or Song Ting about those secret old stories, but somehow, she told Ye Chuyang everything last night.
I wouldn't say I regret it, but I definitely didn't feel comfortable.
"Um... I came to see if you needed any help, since Xiao Chao hasn't arrived yet," she said.
That's still necessary; you can't say no at a time like this. It's a great opportunity. Dr. Shen can also seize this opportunity to showcase his talents and achieve great things.
"Hmm." He raised his eyebrows, pondering what service he needed.
"Oh dear, my neck is a bit sore. Could you please give me a massage?"
“Okay, no problem.” Shen Qingyuan readily agreed. “But… I have one more request. Please don’t tell anyone what I told you last night. Not even Song Ting.”
She didn't want any more sympathy. Sometimes, the closer someone is to you, the less you want them to worry.
After speaking, she looked slightly embarrassed and uneasy, silently observing Ye Chuyang's reaction.
He rarely saw her act like a little girl; a smile appeared on his lips, but he suppressed it.
“It’s not something that needs special explanation; other people’s privacy should not be disclosed to third parties in the first place,” he said.
"Thank you." Shen Qingyuan felt relieved.
"No need to thank me, it's just basic courtesy."
Yes, basic manners. She used to think the world was basically rational and controllable, but then the medical disputes happened, it was all messy and inexplicable, and she gradually became confused herself.
Okay, that's the end of that. We can put it behind us now.
Shen Qingyuan went over and massaged Ye Chuyang's cervical spine.
"Yeah, it's a bit stiff."
His face was completely intoxicated as he lay leisurely in the chair, his eyes half-closed, enjoying himself.
I thought to myself: This is all I deserve...
-
As the days went by, Shen Qingyuan gradually adapted to life on set and became accustomed to it. In addition to helping Ye Chuyang with physical therapy and rehabilitation, she would sometimes help the stuntmen and extras with minor injuries and pains.
She can handle dislocations or need stitches on the spot. Occasionally, when she encounters a fracture and there are no suitable conditions on-site, she will help immobilize the broken limb and then have someone take the injured person to the hospital as soon as possible.
That's how it is with action scenes; in a crew of hundreds, there are bound to be more people who get injured, especially the stuntmen.
They performed the actions, but their faces were not shown on camera; it's a typical case of giving the glory to others while bearing the danger alone.
It's not easy for any of them.
Shen Qingyuan is always willing to help others. Although she is considered an unofficial member of the crew, she will help whenever she can.
This gradually earned her the respect of the crew members, who all addressed her respectfully as "Dr. Shen".
When one door closes, another opens. Lately, it seems like everything is moving in a positive direction.
When chatting with Song Ting in her spare time, Shen Qingyuan would jokingly say, "Look, former orthopedic surgeon Shen Qingyuan has achieved waste recycling."
Song Ting: "Shen Qingyuan, you've changed. You can laugh at yourself now. That's a good thing; people who can laugh at themselves aren't so tense."
Shen Qingyuan thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.
Try to improve your mindset; many troubles may fade with time. When you're at your lowest point, you feel so frustrated and powerless that you don't see any hope of ever getting out of this situation.
In the long river of time, this is just the beginning; everything changes, let alone the feelings of ordinary people.
"Thank you, Song Ting," she said suddenly, her voice serious. "You've always been there for me."
Song Ting chuckled and said, "My role was negligible, I could still tell that. I reckon the male bodhisattva is someone else."
Shen Qingyuan: "Who is the male Bodhisattva? Are Bodhisattvas divided into male and female?"
Song Ting: "That's true, they are all Bodhisattvas, regardless of gender."
As for why she specifically emphasized the male bodhisattva, Song Ting just smiled and remained silent.
-
The following afternoon, Shen Qingyuan actually saw a bodhisattva who was neither male nor female.
Well, you can't really say that. This handsome guy is like a male bodhisattva. He has a mixed-race look, and just standing there, he exudes charm.
But... she immediately started hugging and kissing Ye Chuyang, even giving him a kiss on the cheek, acting as enthusiastically as an Alaskan Malamute.
It's unbearable to look at.
Xiao Chao explained from the side: "It's okay, Sister Shen. He grew up abroad. Foreigners are all like this. They like to nibble on each other and hug each other."
Ye Chuyang hid in great pain, "Xie Xinglan, are you a dog?"
Xie Xinglan: "I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you so much! Oh, who's this pretty lady?"
When Xie Xinglan saw Shen Qingyuan, it was as if he had discovered a new continent.
Ye Chuyang quickly said, "Don't do anything reckless. This is Dr. Shen, my private doctor."
Xie Xinglan: "She has such a great temperament, and she must be a doctor. I've liked pretty doctors since I was little."
Shen Qingyuan laughed in surprise: "Thank you. Hello, I am Shen Qingyuan."
Xie Xinglan rushed over and shook her hand warmly. He was relatively restrained and didn't hug her.
After greeting Shen Qingyuan, Lian Xiaochao followed suit, saying, "We meet again, brother." The two gave each other a high five.
"Brother Xie is still so full of energy," Xiao Chao said with a smile.
Xie Xinglan came to Hengdian to visit the set and then met with the director to discuss a collaboration. His previous drama with Ye Chuyang was a huge hit, and his popularity soared. Xie Xinglan also benefited from this success, and he was in talks for many more projects. In addition, the production company of a small web series directly decided to cast him as the male lead.
After Ye Chuyang finished work that evening, Xie Xinglan said she wanted to treat him to dinner and that Xiao Chao and Shen Qingyuan should definitely come along too.
She knows how to get along with people, no wonder she has fans who like her and is highly regarded in the industry.
The restaurant was a high-end Western restaurant in the city center. The four of us found a private room that offered a good level of privacy.
"Brother Liao, do you think this project is reliable?"
Xie Xinglan brought up a project he had recently discussed and wanted Ye Chuyang's advice. He regarded Ye Chuyang as an older brother.
Ye Chuyang entered the industry a few years earlier than him, and having gone through many trials and tribulations, and being a colleague, he has more experience than him.
Ye Chuyang: "It depends on the team and the content. Of course, luck also plays a part. You have to like the content yourself; if you don't find it interesting, the audience probably won't like it either."
The problem is, if good content were so easy to find, everyone could become an overnight sensation.
Among romance dramas, some are huge hits while others flop. Besides production quality and cast, fresh and interesting content is key. The saying "content is king" has been around for years, but the market is constantly evolving, and every creator is still figuring things out.
When you have no say, you just have to do whatever others offer you, and you have to be grateful. Ye Chuyang experienced this firsthand back then.
Xie Xinglan sighed, "I just don't know which script is better. Liao-ge, you know I'm an ABC (American-born Chinese), it's hard for me to read Chinese characters. The editor at the company told me the general plot of the story, and I think they're all pretty much the same, just love stories, nothing interesting."
Shen Qingyuan, who was eating nearby, tugged at the corner of her lips and smiled faintly.
Romance is meaningless; this was a realization Shen Qingyuan had since high school. People like them might be missing a screw in their heads, something like "love threads" in romance novels.
The young man has some foresight.
Xie Xinglan seemed thoughtful. "Maybe girls like these kinds of things, since most TV drama viewers are women. Don't you think so, Doctor?"
Shen Qingyuan put down her fork, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't think there's anything interesting about talking about love either."
“Great minds think alike!” Xie Xinglan rested his chin on his hands, looking intently at Shen Qingyuan with his captivating eyes. “So, what kind of novels or movies do you like?” he asked curiously.
