As Shang Yechu had predicted, Yang Huanyi's mood worsened over the past few days after the news of the so-called female-centric movie was released.
In terms of star power, Shang Yechu is already superior to Yang Huanyi; in the cast list, since Yechu is YC and Yang Huanyi is YHY, Shang Yechu is also listed first. Furthermore, in the script, Lin Fengyu dies in the latter half, while Zhao Lele lives to her seventies or eighties, and the entire story is told from Zhao Lele's perspective. Viewers will naturally empathize with Zhao Lele, meaning that in the audience's mind, Zhao Lele will be "more important" than Lin Fengyu.
When there's no marketing, Yang Huanyi can fool himself, believing he's on par with Shang Yechu. But now, with these unethical marketing tactics, things are very different. Audiences have preconceived notions, and coupled with Yang Huanyi's mediocre performance, if Shang Yechu wins awards while Yang Huanyi goes home empty-handed, "Anna Doriya" might actually end up in Yechu's hands!
As long as Yang Huanyi still has any ambition, he can't help but be anxious.
What Shang Yechu didn't know was that, besides the reasons she had guessed pretty accurately, there was another thing that made Yang Huanyi so upset.
Although she has been sidelined, female stars' fans are always loyal, and Yang Huanyi's fans haven't completely abandoned her. There are still some die-hard fans who are hoping for her comeback. They continue to closely follow her activities.
To appease the remaining fans, Yang Huanyi naturally leaked the news about "Anna Doriya" to them quietly.
Fans had been eagerly anticipating Yang Huanyi's return to the film industry, hoping he would shine in Taiwan. However, when the movie announcement came out, it turned out Yang Huanyi was playing a supporting role to Ye Chu!
Yang Huanyi's fanbase already disliked Ye Chu intensely. If the two were on equal footing, it wouldn't be so bad, but now Yang Huanyi has actually gone so far as to stand up for Ye Chu—what's the difference between that and giving up on oneself?
It's beneath a senior actress to serve as a supporting character or stepping stone for a junior, and it's an even greater taboo in fan circles to serve as a supporting character for a junior with whom she has a grudge. Fans who felt betrayed were furious. These fans, who hadn't left Yang Huanyi during her lowest point, took to fan groups and Weibo to criticize, curse, or unfollow her, giving Yang Huanyi a thorough dressing down.
The more moved Yang Huanyi was by these fans in the past, the more pain she now feels facing their anger. Unfortunately, the subject matter of "Anna Doriya" is sensitive, and Yang Huanyi cannot reveal her true intentions!
Yang Huanyi's condition is getting worse and worse.
Shang Yechu stood not far away, intently observing Yang Huanyi.
Whether Yang Huanyi can pull herself together depends on this. If Yang Huanyi is still hopeless after this, Shang Yechu will have no choice but to accept her bad luck and never touch the subject of romance again for the rest of her life.
Today's scene is a dialogue-driven one. Zhao Lele, Lin Fengyu, and Zhao Cheng are eating at a table. Zhao Cheng, overcome with lust, suddenly has the idea to flirt with Lin Fengyu under the table in front of his daughter. Lin Fengyu has no choice but to cooperate. Unexpectedly, Lin Fengyu's actions not only seduce Zhao Cheng but also Zhao Lele. Zhao Lele "felt a beautiful impulse" from Lin Fengyu's behavior and, for a moment, did something outrageous at the dinner table.
The scene was fraught with tension and ambiguity, demanding a high level of skill from the actors. Luo Yao, speaking with a thick, melon-like island accent, explained the scene to Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi again and again. Shang Yechu portrayed the impulsiveness of a young man quite well, but Yang Huanyi's allure lacked conviction. After all, she was thirty-seven, and the marks of time were undeniable. Coupled with her dignified demeanor and restrained emotions, she fell far short of the alluring beauty described in the script.
Luo Yao spent a long time trying to correct Yang Huanyi's performance, but he couldn't. However, the filming schedule couldn't be changed for just Yang Huanyi. So, they had to resort to post-production editing techniques, planning to use filters, music, long shots, and close-ups, along with Shang Yechu's subtle expressions, to create a seductive scene for Yang Huanyi once the final cut was released.
Now that the filming of this scene is about to begin, Yang Huanyi looks gloomy and will probably only perform worse.
Shang Yechu walked to Yang Huanyi's side and observed him for a while. Yang Huanyi, who had been looking at the script, finally looked up: "Is something wrong?"
Since the goal was to provoke Yang Huanyi, it was natural to adopt a smug, petty attitude. Shang Yechu cleared her throat and winked, saying, "Sister Yi, have you seen the trending topics about our movie?"
Yang Huanyi paused in his actions: "What trending topic?"
Seeing the other party's feigned composure, Shang Yechu felt a surge of excitement for some reason.
“It’s the one I starred in, ‘Anna Doriya.’” Shang Yechu bent down, tilting her head to look at Yang Huanyi’s expression. Yang Huanyi frowned slightly, turned to the side, and avoided Shang Yechu’s gaze.
“Oh, that’s it. I saw it. These marketing accounts jump to conclusions, don’t worry, I won’t take it to heart,” Yang Huanyi said.
Shang Yechu leaned to the other side to see Yang Huanyi's expression. 103 said coldly, "You're acting like a lecher right now."
Unfortunately, Shang Yechu was so focused on attracting Yang Huanyi's attention that his words, like a needle thrown into a lake, didn't even make a ripple.
Shang Yechu smiled and said, "Sister, do you think they believe everything they hear? I think there's no smoke without fire."
