The filming of "The Mute Woman" lasted only ten days, and the investment was the lowest among all the projects Shang Yechu had ever participated in. However, these ten days of filming experience can be considered the most valuable asset Shang Yechu has gained since entering the film industry.
The next day, Shang Yechu returned to the set of "Xiao Fengque". Unfortunately, Yi Tianzhao, who had been ill for many days, still hadn't recovered from his gastroenteritis and needed to be on IV drips for at least three more days.
According to the original plan, Yi Tianzhao was supposed to participate in "Twenty-Four Frames Guest" with Shang Yechu today. However, Director Yi is currently lying unconscious in a hospital bed and has become extremely thin, so he is naturally unable to participate in this kind of program.
The Empress Dowager's schedule couldn't be changed, so the spot for this program was given to the actor with the second most important role in the same drama.
—That is, Li Yi.
Shang Yechu learned the news before she even got off the bus, which only worsened her already depressed mood. She felt a sense of utter despair, like someone who had just finished the college entrance exam and was now immediately tasked with tutoring junior high students.
Since they were in the car and no one else was around, Shang Yechu didn't need to hide her emotions. When the driver, Aunt Cai, stopped the car and saw Shang Yechu's expression, she was startled and muttered to her assistant, Xiao Wang, "What's wrong? Why is she looking so sullen?"
Xiao Wang shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm just too tired."

"Are you two tired?"
The person who asked this question was a staff member of "24 Frames Guest".
At this moment, Shang Yechu and Li Yi were sitting on the same sofa. Shang Yechu rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the left armrest of the sofa, while Li Yi sat with her legs apart, close to the left armrest of the sofa. One of them had her eyes closed, resting, while the other looked down at her script; the boundary between them was as clear as the Chu River and Han Border.
—No, it was even wider than the Chu River and Han Border; the open space was wide enough for one and a half people to lie horizontally between them.
The staff asked that question entirely to ease the stiff and awkward atmosphere in the lounge.
The two had been sitting in silence for half an hour, and the show was about to start recording. The male and female leads were still maintaining this kind of atmosphere. Wasn't this ruining CTS's reputation?
Shang Yechu opened her eyes and smiled, "I'm not tired, just my eyes are a little dry."
Li Yi shook her head, revealing two bright, fang-like teeth: "I'm a little carsick, but it's okay, thank you."
The filming location for "24 Frames of Guests" is Jing City. Coincidentally, Jing City is quite close to Jinsha City, only a three-hour drive away.
Although it was a bit strange that a seven-foot-tall man's motion sickness hadn't gotten better after so long, the staff still kindly chose to believe him.
"Would you two like to review the script?" the staff member said kindly. "These are questions and interactions that might be asked later."
"24 Frames of Guests" is not a live broadcast and requires post-production editing. However, to demonstrate professionalism, what needs to be memorized still needs to be memorized, and what needs to be correct still needs to be correct.
Shang Yechu's script was twice as thick as Li Yi's. Li Yi was still looking at his script, while Shang Yechu was resting with his eyes closed. It was really unreasonable.
Shang Yechu gave a perfectly timed apologetic look and pointed at Li Yi: "Li Yi is feeling unwell right now, I want to wait until he feels better before—"
“I’m much better. Come on, Teacher Ye, you can ask first,” Li Yi said with a smile.
Li Yi's address of "Teacher Ye" gave Shang Yechu goosebumps, as if the other person was addressing someone else. To shake off this gloomy feeling, Shang Yechu quickly opened her script and randomly picked a question:
Did Ms. Li Yi encounter any difficulties during the filming process?
Li Yi glanced at Shang Yechu and said, "Because of my own skill level, I always felt like I couldn't keep up with the pace of the production team... but later..."
Although it was all official jargon and platitudes, the scene was still much better than before. The staff breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Yechu and Li Yi exchanged a few emotionless business questions, and after what seemed like an eternity, the show finally began filming, ending the torture inflicted on the staff.
Seeing the two people in the break room with absolutely no spark, the staff couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, feeling a little worried: newcomers are newcomers, even if they have some grudges, they shouldn't wear it on their faces!
Shang Yechu put down her script, stood up, and walked to the door first, leaving Li Yi with only the back of her head.
Li Yi suppressed a smile, stood up, and walked to Shang Yechu's side.
The staff thought the two had never spoken again and would soon crawl out of the backstage with their heads facing each other, but the next second, they witnessed a medical miracle.
Almost instantly, Shang Yechu's face lit up with a warm, spring-like smile. Looking at Li Yi, her eyes held a hint of amusement as she gently teased, "Teacher Li Yi, are you nervous?"
Li Yi was equally matched, and instantly revealed a sunny and innocent smile: "Teacher Ye, you'll have to 'guide' me later."
Watching the interaction between the two, the staff, for some reason, felt not at ease, but rather... a little choked up.

In the brightly lit, technologically advanced, and modern studio, host Xiaolei sat in a swivel chair, smiling as she looked at the two new actors in front of her: "Ye Chu and Li Yi are also here for the first time on our show. You can tell they're a little nervous?"
