Thanks to Ruguan TV, during the filming of "Rules Street," Ye Chu, as the lead actress, was not allowed to be involved in any topics related to works competing with "Tianban" at the same time. In addition, the media's attention was also focused on "Tianban" at that time, so the news of the filming of "Rules Street" was kept completely secret. Some neighbors on the pedestrian street did let it slip online, but unfortunately, it was also suppressed by the invisible hand of Ruguan TV.
When the contract with Ru Guan expired, in order to keep it from the original author Sheng Wenzhi, "Rules Street" temporarily suppressed its promotion. They planned to promote it a year or two later, closer to its release. One delay after another, this first theatrical film starring Shang Yechu surprisingly generated very little buzz within the entertainment industry and among fans.
Therefore, fans believe that Ye Chu will play a decorative or supporting role in the mysterious movie that will be released during the Spring Festival; while in this rumored "second movie" that is currently being filmed, Ye Chu is the "only leading lady".
This coincidence is undeniably both laughable and absurd. Qingping Entertainment's publicity department originally only intended to give a slight hint or guidance, but the fans' imaginations and analytical abilities were so rich that they automatically filled in the whole story!
Some wealthy fans often have their own sources of information. On the day the news of "Movie No. 2" broke, a fan named "Desperate Abandoned Wife's Rise Again" (Ye Chu's cute fans are called Ye Ya, and her rude fans are called Bai Cao Ku) posted a picture of her plane ticket to Xia Tan.
The desperate abandoned woman, having somehow gotten wind of the situation, decided to personally fly to Xiatan to check on the film Ye Chu was shooting. After she posted her plane ticket online, on the same day, hundreds of Ye Buds, Paraquat, and proxy photographers quietly headed to Xiatan.
This Weibo post is the result of the desperate woman's victory in Xiatan.
Although stalking is unacceptable, curiosity and longing for their idol's whereabouts quickly overwhelmed any sense of morality. Many fans flocked to the Weibo account of the desperate woman, eagerly asking her questions.
What's the subject matter? Is it a biographical film?
In the Chinese film industry, biographical films are one of the few genres where actresses can still get a role. After all, it's impractical to have male stars portray female entrepreneurs or writers. If Ye Chu were to appear in a biographical film, it would be reasonable for her to play a leading role.
However, if it's a biopic, the box office performance won't be very good, unless it rides the wave of mainstream patriotism.
The Desperate Abandoned Woman's Saga Resurfaces: [Unknown, the production crew is heavily guarded; we can't get in.]
What era is it from? Is it historical, mythological, or modern?
The desperate abandoned woman's story resurfaces: [Judging from her clothes, it should be from the Republican era.]
Besides my sister, who else is in the cast?
The desperate abandoned woman's story resurfaces: [I don't recognize any of the other actresses besides her. Yang Mouyi is also in it.]
[What kind of clothes is Lao Ye wearing? It looks like a military uniform. Is it from a military-themed movie?]
The desperate abandoned woman's story resurfaces: [Uncertain. The others are not wearing military uniforms. They might also be riding attire.]
[Master, Master, how is Ye Bao doing? [Pity]]
The desperate abandoned woman's saga continues: [She's eaten herself to excess, enjoying the seafood to her heart's content.]
The news brought back by the desperate abandoned woman left Ye Ya and the others with mixed feelings. They were happy because, apart from Ye Chu, there were no big-name actors in the production crew (Yang Huanyi was practically unknown in the entertainment industry these days), so the lead role was practically a done deal. They were worried because Ye Chu, who usually had strong self-control, had somehow managed to overindulge in food at Xia Tan!
The "Ye Ya Army" immediately rallied and stormed Ye Chu's studio and personal Weibo accounts. They used both soft and hard tactics, demanding Ye Chu post recent selfies to show how much weight they'd gained, while simultaneously warning the team to urge Ye Chu to lose weight. Of course, this led to numerous minor clashes between the "Meng Zhui" and "Ru Zhui" groups, which need not be detailed.
As a top celebrity, Ye Chu's every move is naturally under the surveillance of marketing accounts. After many obsessive fans posted blurry photos and messages, marketing accounts swarmed in and began releasing news related to Ye Chu's new movie.
[Ye Chu's new movie has started filming! A top-tier leading lady's life, an epic saga of female empowerment!]
[Ye Chu's new film is currently in production. Insiders reveal that Ye Chu will portray the protagonist from age fourteen to eighty-four. This is Ye Chu's most wide-ranging role to date.]
[Welcome to the one and only female lead, Ye Chu! [Sound effect] Welcome to the one and only female lead, Ye Chu! [Sound effect] Welcome to the one and only female lead, Ye Chu! [Sound effect]]
[A Republican-era film! Ye Chu's new movie starts filming by the sea! Yang Huanyi makes a guest appearance, possibly playing Ye Chu's mother.]
[The first female coming-of-age story! Recently, a member of what appears to be Ye Chu's studio released information that Ye Chu will be the lead actress.]
…………
That's how things are on the internet. Although no film reel of Ye Chu's "second film" has even been seen, it hasn't stopped people from talking about it with great interest. In just a few days, through word of mouth, Ye Chu's new film has evolved into "the story of a female general's love, hate, and tumultuous life from age fourteen to eighty-four."
