However, this kind of fan support is still rare in the Chinese entertainment industry today. It will be a few more years before it becomes widespread. At least, these country bumpkins on the film crew were completely dumbfounded.
This Ms. Su Ge has a rather advanced sense of entertainment.
The celebrities crowded around, looking at the food truck with the eyes of someone looking at something rare and precious.
The counter displays bowls of fresh milk ice cream, boxes of small portions of fruit, slices of cream cake, and cups of chilled fruit tea or milk tea. Against the backdrop of this exquisite display, everything seems to shimmer with an irresistible, bling-bling effect.
The staff, with standard business smiles on their faces, enthusiastically explained, "Please help yourselves... These are snacks and drinks provided free of charge by Su Ge's artists to reward everyone for their hard work these past few days..."
One doesn't hit a smiling face, and seeing such polite and thoughtful hospitality, the crowd's resentment and anger subsided considerably. Some even remarked, "Is this the female lead? She's beautiful inside and out!"
Shang Yechu certainly recognized Su Ge. She was the female lead in "The Tale of Yun Qing," playing the daughter of a military family who fell madly in love with the emperor.
Su Ge's acting skills and that clay-sculpted, handsome young emperor were a match made in heaven. Just seeing the standee reminded Shang Yechu of the fear she felt while watching the drama, dominated by Su Ge's exaggerated, wide-eyed acting style.
The love story between the daughter of a general and the emperor follows the classic bickering couple trope, but these two actors turned it into a robot movie.
In two words, disaster.
Such a pair of male and female leads would certainly be enough to make "The Tale of Clouds" fall short of expectations. However, in his previous life, Zheng Bohan cleverly chose a light comedy style, using jokes and gags to dilute the awkwardness brought by this pair of brilliant but mismatched characters.
Shang Yechu had speculated about the reason why Zheng Bohan chose this particular pair of male and female leads.
Investing in a TV series is a big deal. No matter how low the budget is, Zheng Bohan can't afford it all by himself. He always has to seek investment.
Zheng Bohan was doing well as a screenwriter, but suddenly he went into directing. Any investor with a sound mind would be suspicious. It's obvious he wouldn't attract much investment. That's when the entertainment market will step in and regulate—
Bring, invest, enter, group.
Su Ge has some fame, but not much; she can only be considered a second-tier celebrity. She has a few representative works, all of which are not small-scale productions, but unfortunately, each one has received mixed reviews. To put it bluntly, her reputation is only visible to her fans.
A minor rise to fame depends on promotion, a major rise to fame depends on fate. That's just how the entertainment industry is.
Shang Yechu guessed that Su Ge was in an awkward period of not being able to get good roles, and since she was idle anyway, and Zheng Bohan's script should be of good quality, she simply came.
Before even seeing the person, we saw the food truck. Judging from the professionalism of the staff, this food truck was probably not organized by a fan group, but rather prepared by a legitimate team.
The crowd gathered around the food cart, watching the lively scene. Shang Yechu glanced at Zheng Bohan, whose face was as green as if he'd drunk a strong drink. This further confirmed Shang Yechu's suspicions.
Of course, Shang Yechu wasn't maliciously speculating that Su Ge had gotten her position through underhanded means. She was more inclined to believe that Su Ge was a rich girl from a wealthy family, just doing it for fun.
Su Ge has already arrived, so how far away can another rich kid who brought his own investment into the production be?
