@Desperate Abandoned Wife's Rise Again:

The accompanying image consists of several blurry human figures.
Although the image quality of these pictures is comparable to the patina of an old Nokia phone, longtime fans immediately recognized who the people in the pictures were.
[Holy crap, the nun went to Xiatan?]
[What kind of clothes is Lao Ye wearing? It looks like a military uniform. Is it from a military-themed movie?]
[Thank you so much, nun! You actually managed to get a picture!]
[How's the plot? Is it really a female-centric story? [Looking forward to it]]
The leaf buds have been quite restless lately.
As 2018 draws to a close, the lingering buzz from "Half a Sky," the aftershocks of the Qinglang event, and various industry upheavals have finally subsided considerably. Everyone is now keeping a close eye on the Spring Festival film season, hoping to find some lucrative opportunities.
Ever since "Half a Day," Ye Ya had been urging Ye Chu to join the crew. Fortunately, Ye Chu lived up to expectations; since November, the studio's schedule has consisted solely of "filming." But what exactly they were filming remained a closely guarded secret from top to bottom.
Fan circles hate nothing more than being idle.
With Shi Shan's downfall and Su Ge's new drama flopping, the remaining rivals were all utterly defeated. Other female stars in the entertainment industry—the senior figures wouldn't stoop to Ye Chu's level, and the younger actresses' fans couldn't compete with Ye Ya's power. Suddenly, Ye Ya found herself without any rivals in the industry, inevitably experiencing a sense of loneliness and boredom at the top.
Before, Ye Ya could at least criticize the studio and yell at Ji Juntao. Now that Ye Chu has joined the production team, there's really nothing left to criticize. Even this little bit of business has lost its appeal for Ye Ya.
Fortunately, female celebrities' fans are mostly loyal, so even after a period of relative indifference, they didn't lose many fans.
Like a lonely woman waiting by the "Waiting-for-Wife Stone," the fans longed for news of Ye Chu every day. Fortunately, a few days ago, a marketing account spread the word that there might be a movie starring Ye Chu during the Spring Festival season.
This news immediately ignited the fandom, with hidden fans emerging from the shadows to spread the word with boundless joy. Before they could even find out which film was going to be released during the Spring Festival, a second piece of good news followed.
Media reports indicate that Ye Chu is currently filming a movie, and is playing the only lead role in the script!
If the first message was a firework soaring into the sky, the second was a cacophony of firecrackers. When the first message came out, the buds were still just pupae; after the second signal was released, they became bouncing and leaping!
It's a common understanding that the Spring Festival film season is tough to get into, and the film industry is even tougher to break into. For actresses, the barriers in the film industry are even thicker. Unless you're a director's "X-girl," you're basically only good for decorative roles in movies. Let alone Ye Chu, even those long-time leading actresses who have been popular for over a decade are now struggling to find suitable scripts.
Therefore, when they learned that Ye Chu might have a movie during the Spring Festival season, all Ye Ya's first thought was: Ye Chu would most likely have a special appearance in a production by a big director—or perhaps she would have been the second or third lead actress.
This news was enough to excite Ye Ya, but she was still a step away from being overjoyed. Everyone knows the gist of most movies in the Chinese entertainment industry these past few years: the actresses are called leading ladies, but are actually supporting actresses; they're called special appearances, but are actually just for show; even if the actresses' fans shout themselves hoarse promoting them, when it comes to box office numbers, no one will give them any credit.
It's just something to look at and enjoy.
But now, the news about the second movie released by the marketing accounts is that the female lead is the lead actress!
The only protagonist!
These five words are enough to make all fans swoon.
Initially, people were hesitant to celebrate openly, but some fans who had contacted the studio went to verify the information. A member of Ye Chu's studio inadvertently let slip: "Ye Chu has a lot of movies in the pipeline!"
Fans pressed, "Is he the lead actor?"
The person behind the scenes let slip again: "The only lead actor/actress."
The leaf buds immediately became excited, so happy that they forgot all about the world around them.
