Zheng Bohan smiled and agreed, "Okay. It's been a long time since I've watched a movie, it'll be good to relax."
"By the way," Shang Yechu suddenly said with a smile, "Although the script is out of my reach, I'm quite curious, what name did you give it?"
There's nothing wrong with saying that; once the project was approved, Shang Yechu could easily find out by searching online.
“Half of the Sky,” Zheng Bohan said succinctly.
Shang Yechu had heard of those two words before: "Is it the 'half-step' from 'half-step victory over Heaven'?"
"No," Zheng Bohan corrected earnestly, "it's the 'half of the sky' from 'the smoke and dust roll in from half the sky'."
Shang Yechu had never heard of this poem before, and then asked, "Have you decided on the name for the main character?"
Zheng Bohan said, "We won't have a chance to find out her name. In this script, the protagonist is temporarily named 'Li Yiming'."
-----------------
After signing Shang Yechu, Qingping Entertainment's financial situation improved significantly. After all, the ratings for "Xiao Fengque" soared, and CTS naturally became more generous with the pay, resulting in more money for Ji Juntao.
Ji Juntao hasn't been idle these days, signing quite a few new young artists. —Although Zhou Bapi is infamous, there's never a shortage of dreamers with aspirations to become stars. Shang Yechu glanced at them a few times; most were just random passersby she barely recognized, with only one or two names that seemed somewhat familiar. She figured they must have been second or third-tier stars in her past life.
Ji Juntao also gave tickets to the premiere to his newly signed underlings, calling it a company benefit. Firstly, it was to support Shang Yechu, and secondly, it was to use Shang Yechu's acting skills to convince these greenhorns why Qingping's top star is the top star, so they wouldn't be so arrogant and think they could become the next Shang Yechu.
After arranging for Zheng Bohan to sit down, Shang Yechu turned around and saw Gu Wenhua standing behind her with a mournful face. She couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Wenhua said dejectedly, "President Ji asked me to buy some Tangrenda moisturizing lotion or skin care lotion, as well as some acne-removing skin care products, and also told me to improve my fashion sense..."
"You're unwilling?" Shang Yechu laughed. "You want me to plead for you?"
Gu Wenhua muttered, "I'm a man, I don't want to be like that—anyway, I won't do it."
Shang Yechu knew exactly what the other person had swallowed. He looked Gu Wenhua up and down, and his lips twitched slightly.
If Gu Wenhua knew that his future nickname would be Gu Mazi, I wonder if he would still be so stubborn in upholding that vague and illusory belief.
“What President Ji said makes sense,” Shang Yechu advised. “You’re still young, and you still have a chance to make up for it. Once it’s completely set in your ways, it’s hard to change.”
Gu Wenhua frowned: "A director isn't an actor, why would they need to care about their image?"
Good advice is hard to persuade a stubborn person, and Shang Yechu didn't want to be like Ji Juntao, having to worry about everything. Seeing that the other party was a bit unyielding, Shang Yechu didn't try to persuade him further: "Since you think so, then do as you please. Directors are different from actors; perhaps they're less likely to judge people by their appearance."
After saying this, Shang Yechu left.
