Shang Yechu glanced at Ji Juntao lightly.
Ji Juntao was enraged by that look, and suppressed his anger, saying, "I admit this film is well-made, but awards and nominations are things that are far in the future. Who can guarantee that this film will actually receive any honors in the future? Instead of worrying about the uncertain future, let's fight for what we can easily obtain now!"
Seeing that Shang Yechu remained silent, Ji Juntao simply said, "Giving up a spot that doesn't belong to you in the first place in exchange for a chance to star in a serious drama. I think it's a worthwhile deal. If you think I did something wrong, I won't do it again next time."
Shang Yechu coughed lightly, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, you did the right thing. If it were me, I would have made the same choice."
Ji Juntao paused, looking at Shang Yechu suspiciously. Based on her understanding of Shang Yechu, this person extremely disliked others making decisions for her; such a unilateral decision would surely enrage her. Ji Juntao had already prepared for another bloody battle with Shang Yechu. She hadn't expected her to be so agreeable this time?
"Alright, you go ahead with your work." Shang Yechu covered her mouth and yawned. "I'm going to sleep too."
After saying this, Shang Yechu didn't look at Ji Juntao again and turned to leave.
Ji Juntao stared at Shang Yechu's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.
Never mind, I've been too busy lately, I'll ask you later.
-----------------
A day after the premiere, "The Mute Woman" was officially released.
Ji Juntao bought several press releases and trending topics for "The Mute Woman," and even created an official Weibo account for it. Unfortunately, it didn't help much. The National Day film season was packed with films, including "The Earth God," "The Order of the Demons," "Spring Breeze Doesn't Understand the Youth," and "The Fierce Soil." While Weibo's trending topics have skyrocketed in price, they remain incredibly crowded, indicating a supply shortage.
Today, a big-budget production with an investment of 300 million yuan is scheduled for release; tomorrow, another film with an internationally renowned director will be released; the day after tomorrow, a famous actress and a young actor will star in a captivating love story; and the day after that, a middle-aged actor and a young actress will perform a tragic war epic... This is an era of entertainment to the death.
With the overwhelming flow of information during the National Day holiday, netizens are becoming almost numb to all the movie news.
The release date and screening of "The Mute Woman" failed to generate any buzz. Shang Yechu had to rely solely on her own promotional efforts.
Qi Ming and Li Zhenxiang don't have Weibo accounts, and Shang Yechu can't mistreat the elderly and force them to open Weibo accounts.
Gu Wenhua did have a zombie account with zero followers and zero followings, its content consisting only of reposted inspirational quotes and cooking tips. Ji Juntao instructed him to follow Shang Yechu to cooperate with the publicity campaign. In return, Shang Yechu followed him back. Thus, the account "Gu Wenhua Doesn't Want to Study Ancient Culture" ended up with one follower and one following.
As for screenwriter Jian Xiaojun, her exact words were, "I'll only let you see my Weibo if I'm dead." Ji Juntao and Shang Yechu didn't want to make things difficult for her.
The poverty in the early stages of starting a business is a straightforward, undisguised poverty. Shang Yechu sometimes even considered whether she should stop acting and take on a couple of endorsements to make ends meet—of course, it was just a thought. Shang Yechu didn't want to waste her precious time on endorsements to make money.
Shang Yechu logged into Weibo and saw that the official Weibo account of "The Mute Woman" had already posted a promotional message for the film.
