Before Shang Yechu could finish speaking, Ji Juntao cursed, "Speak of the devil, and he appears! Ruguan TV is really in a hurry, four in the morning! They probably stayed up all night watching the ratings."
"What did you send?"
"So you can do more business."
"Didn't we already schedule a live stream for tonight? How are we supposed to operate the business?"
"The evening session is separate; we've added a surprise Q&A session this morning. You'll be with Professor Xue Haodong. Where are you? Head over there now, go back to the company first, and I'll explain the details to you."
The contract with Ru Guan explicitly required Shang Yechu to unconditionally cooperate with all promotional efforts. Therefore, even with a sudden increase in workload, Shang Yechu could only move on and leave as quickly as possible.
"I see."
After saying this, Shang Yechu gestured for Assistant Wang to hang up the phone.
Shang Yechu looked down at her two mottled prosthetic hands. They hadn't been painted yet, showing a fake fleshy pink color, like two fat, deformed maggots.
Shang Yechu suddenly clenched her fist tightly.
The unformed latex cracked inch by inch, bulging with air bubbles. The fake skin began to move, the rotten flesh and wrinkles being forcibly torn out of shape.
Shang Yechu suddenly felt a surge of pleasure.
She didn't know what she was feeling happy about, only that her gloomy mood suddenly felt much lighter, and the gloom in her heart was like these two prosthetic hands, which had been forcibly torn open.
"Could you please call a makeup artist to remove my makeup?" Shang Yechu said.

Green Petals, a Chinese drama group.
[Breaking news... A certain TV station's big-budget marketing drama is doomed to flop...]
Half of the episodes trended on Weibo, but the premiere viewership was less than 2%.
Guess the title of the play:
[I've already started laughing.]
[Of course, it's that drama that our group hyped up so much before, the king of dramas...]
Who still remembers the grand spectacle before the show's premiere?
[I remember. They were hyping it up so much back then, they even said the premiere episode would break 3%.]
Let the hydraulic poison milk kill us...
[1.92 isn't bad, is it?]
[Yep, this is the highest viewership rating for a premiere this year. It can't possibly be a flop.]
[It's understandable that viewers have a backlash, given that the old man (referring to a certain person) exaggerated his knowledge too much and then launched a massive viral marketing campaign.]
[If even the top-rated show in prime time is considered a flop, can anyone tell me what the rest of the shows are?]
[Is this another case of "liquid silk" (a derogatory term for a woman who is obsessed with online streaming)? Instead of wasting time on Douban (a Chinese social media platform), why not boost her viewership? The ratings are already this low; if the online streaming flops too, it'll be a complete disaster. [smirk]]
[You should at least have some basic rules when you're mocking a show, right? Look up, this is a domestic drama group, not that fish-themed drama group. Are you really just going to mock it? You can mock a prime-time drama? If this counts as a flop, then apart from *Yun Qing Ji* and *Qing Yun Zhuan*, every drama in the last two years has flopped.]
[Don't argue with them upstairs. "Half of the Sky" is the Emperor of Poker, "Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon in My Life" is the Empress of Poker, and "White-Haired Xiangjun" is the Crown Prince of Poker. Satisfied?]
[Old Ye has just risen to the "Emperor" generation...]
The main complaints are about the viral marketing approach and the fact that its viewership ratings don't match the level of marketing, which is indefensible.
[Report... Liquid liquid has landed in the comments section of the video, and is actively engaging with the community. [Image]]
[You must be feeling the sting, right? These are the results on the first day... ugh.]
...
Among the dramas produced by Ruguan TV this year, "Half a Day" has achieved the highest success rate. It has also garnered considerable online discussion. For a drama with an average budget, this result would certainly be encouraging. But it is not.
The current result is not even satisfactory.
Ruguan TV is used to being arrogant and domineering. If anyone makes it unhappy, it will make the actors it collaborates with unhappy. Even though it's only the first day of broadcasting, and there's plenty of time to see how things develop, Ruguan TV is already impatiently ordering Shang Yechu around.
Shang Yechu didn't even have time to shoot a single frame of "Rules Street" today. First, she was taken to the company and, under Ji Juntao's guidance, made a surprise appearance. Then, she kept interacting with fans on Weibo, promoting the film, and preparing for a live stream.
After a whole day of running around, Shang Yechu's mind was completely blank. It was already past 10 PM when the live stream finally ended.
