Rumors circulated that the two leading actresses developed feelings for each other during filming, but ultimately broke up after one of them failed to win an award; one went abroad, and the other retired from the entertainment industry. This is one of the reasons why the film was so controversial.
Shang Yechu didn't take the negative results of "The Forest Without Flowers" to heart at all.
She was confident that she wouldn't develop feelings for the female lead during filming, and she certainly wouldn't go abroad or retire from the entertainment industry because of anyone. Besides, the internet is full of falsehoods, and even fiction can be presented as fact. Perhaps those two actresses were just playing along, promoting a romantic pairing, and yet people took them for soulmates.
As for Luo Yao, whether she has run out of talent or not after filming this movie has nothing to do with her.
The only thing that surprised Shang Yechu was that in her previous life, this film was clearly starring two Taiwanese celebrities. She remembered that one of the actresses was named Yuanyuan and the other was named Fangfang, so their on-screen couple was called Fangyuan CP. Somehow, in this life, after all the twists and turns, the script ended up in her hands.
Is it a coincidence or good luck?
Shang Yechu pondered—which role did Luo Yao intend for her to play? Lin Fengyu? Zhao Lele?
Judging from her age, Zhao Lele is more likely. It's just unknown who the other actress already cast is. Is it the same actress who played Lin Fengyu in the previous life? Or has she also been replaced due to the butterfly effect?
Throughout the awards ceremony, Shang Yechu was completely distracted. One moment she was glancing at the script for "Anna Doriya," the next she was looking back for Luo Yao, and then she was daydreaming about standing on the stage, becoming the youngest actress to win all three major film awards, while the crowd below the stage wore expressions of either envy or jealousy... She was practically burning with rage.
As expected, "The Mute Woman" didn't win any awards at the Golden Dome Awards. Gu Wenhua mechanically applauded the winning films, and then nudged Shang Yechu with his elbow: "Yechu, it's time to applaud, the camera is filming you."
Shang Yechu clapped her hands enthusiastically, her mind already completely absorbed in Luo Yao.
After the long and tedious ceremony ended, Shang Yechu couldn't wait to approach Luo Yao. This time, her attitude was completely different from before; she was almost overly enthusiastic.
Luo Yao was somewhat flattered by Shang Yechu's change of attitude. Of course, she attributed it to the script of "Anna Doriya" being so good that it moved Yechu.
"I knew it!" Luo Yao said excitedly. "When Sister Lin told me she was looking for you, I didn't believe it. I said, how could a big star like you possibly act in a gay movie? Sister Lin said that you love acting and are very dedicated, and if she showed you the script, you would have agreed!"
"Sister Lin?" Shang Yechu immediately caught the key word. "Which Sister Lin?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Luo Yao said excitedly, "It's the actress who plays Lin Fengyu. To help her get into character, we started calling her Sister Lin. Actually, her surname isn't Lin. Come to think of it, you actually know her!"
Shang Yechu couldn't recall knowing any Taiwanese celebrities, and among the female celebrities she had met, she couldn't find a single one whose age and acting skills matched Lin Fengyu's. Shang Yechu's first reaction to Luo Yao's words was politeness.
"You might have made a mistake." Shang Yechu laughed. "I think I—"
Luo Yao eagerly pulled out his phone and showed it to Shang Yechu: "How could I be wrong! You two have worked together before, and your chemistry was great, which is why I came to you to give it a try! Don't you remember?"
Shang Yechu was stunned when she saw the photo on her phone screen.
The person on Luo Yao's phone screen was...
Yang Huanyi.
