How could the "extremely urgent" matters that Gu Wenhua mentioned possibly refer to these two things?
No one would think it's important that Shang Yechu's first theatrical film is a comedy. Not even Gu Wenhua, let alone Ji Juntao, would give it a second glance.
Wouldn't it be better to have multiple comedy titles? Comedy films have a wider audience and can earn more at the box office. If it flops, you can always use the horror film label to salvage the situation. It's a win-win situation—you can go either way!
The only person who cared about this was Shang Yechu herself.
Shang Yechu felt powerless. Fate seemed to be a strange cycle. Just when she was desperately trying to escape the comedic label of her previous life, she was thrown onto the comedy stage for her first starring role in a movie in this life.
In the suffocating silence, Shang Yechu said dejectedly, "Whatever. Go discuss it with Lao Ji. If it really comes to the Spring Festival release date, I'll cooperate with all the publicity and roadshows. Oh, by the way—"
Gu Wenhua's eyes lit up. With Ye Chu's approval, things would be much easier.
"what else?"
"I want to see a sample of 'Rules Street'," Shang Yechu said calmly. "When is that convenient for you?"
At this point, there's no point in talking about anything else. She wanted to see just how Gu Wenhua had messed up "Rules Street" so that the higher-ups would think the film could "save the market."

The meeting between Shang Yechu and the Shang family was arranged at Ji Juntao's private residence.
Ji Juntao had already coordinated his story with Shang Yechu a couple of days ago. However, today, he didn't accompany Shang Yechu, nor did he allow Shang Yechu's bodyguards to follow her. He let her go upstairs alone to face her family.
It wasn't that she didn't care about Shang Yechu. It was just that Ji Juntao knew Shang Yechu's pride too well. Regardless of whether the family of three inside were Shang Yechu's family or not, this proud person would not want others to see her entangled with this family.
Even though Shang Yechu was quite skilled in combat, Ji Juntao still cautiously gave her two alarms and set up emergency contacts. He repeatedly instructed her to call for help immediately in case of conflict, as if Shang Yechu was heading not to her private residence, but to a wolf's den.
Before going upstairs, Aunt Cai looked at Shang Yechu with concern and whispered, "Yezai, are your parents going to take you back with them? Should I come up with you?" As she spoke, she showed Shang Yechu her large, calloused hand.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's not true at all," Shang Yechu said with a smile. "Whether they are my parents or not is still uncertain."
After saying this, Shang Yechu turned and walked upstairs without another word. Watching her retreating figure, Aunt Cai had a vague feeling: it seemed that no matter the outcome, this person would never return.
Aunt Cai shook her head, picked out a handful of melon seeds, and started cracking them open.

Shang Yechu rarely fantasized about reuniting with her biological parents. She couldn't possibly not want to; the thought of it every day made her feel disgusted. But no fantasy could be more fantastical than this moment.
Perhaps "Rules Street" isn't a fantasy film; life is.
As soon as the door was pushed open, before he could even see what was inside, a familiar figure pounced on him, landing squarely on Shang Yechu. The force of the impact almost made Shang Yechu stagger.
A familiar wail rang in my ears.
"My son! You have suffered so much!"
