"I have a friend..."
Luo Yao nodded seriously and looked at Shang Yechu in front of him: "Yeah."
Shang Yechu carefully chose her words: "Her girlfriend suddenly started giving her the cold shoulder, for no apparent reason. She's very worried and wants to salvage the relationship. What should she do?"
Luo Yao took a sip of oolong tea, rested his chin on his hand, and admired Shang Yechu's feigned composure for a while before asking, "Why is her girlfriend giving her the silent treatment?"
“My friend doesn’t know either.” Shang Yechu glanced around to make sure no one else was in Luo Yao’s room. “She didn’t do anything!”
Luo Yao's lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but held it back. This made his serious face look very strange.
"Oh, I see. So how did you two—I mean, your friend and his girlfriend—get together?"
Shang Yechu hesitated for a moment: "It's just that feelings developed over time at work. A workplace romance."
Is there any difference between being in a relationship and being in one?
Shang Yechu thought for a long time and said, "It seems like there's no difference."
When did the Cold War begin?
“My friend isn’t sure either, it seems like it’s been these past few days.” Shang Yechu recalled for a moment, then realized with a blank expression that most of her memories of being with Yang Huanyi consisted of filming, rehearsing lines, and movie promotions. Excluding the rehearsals, she had spoken more to Ji Juntao than to Yang Huanyi. “The day before yesterday, or the day before that?”
"Bang!"
Luo Yao dramatically slumped onto the table, causing the oolong tea to bounce and splash onto Shang Yechu's face.
“Let’s go back, Ye Chu.” Luo Yao raised his face. “I think this is better. I’ve seen plenty of scumbags like your friend. He’ll break up with his girlfriend in three months at most. You can ask your friend to book a farewell dinner for two months from now, and I can even mooch a bite.”
"Cut it off?" Shang Yechu repeated the two words.
"It's about breaking up, saying goodbye, cutting ties, going our separate ways, and wishing each other a happy breakup..." Luo Yao rattled off a long string of words without stumbling. "Alright, Ye Chu, I'm busy. Here's a piece of advice for your friend: Love isn't a script; it won't develop according to your interpretation. Love isn't like finding a mommy; you can't just cry a couple of times and someone will hand you a pacifier."
After saying this, Luo Yao refused to listen to Shang Yechu's nonsense and waved his hand to drive Shang Yechu out.
Although Luo Yao now looks like a headmaster, he was actually quite a womanizer in his youth, having dated many girlfriends. Cheating was also a common occurrence for him. But in every relationship, he relied on subtle flattery and constant compromise to make them last.
She simply couldn't understand how Shang Yechu, looking like that, managed to find a boyfriend. Was it because she was young and beautiful, because she could act, or because of her cold, piercing eyes?
Mazu is so unfair!
Zhao Lele and Lin Fengyu's ending was so tragic, I wonder what will happen to Yang Huanyi and Shang Yechu's twisted relationship, forced upon them by the script...
Luo Yao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, dismissing these useless thoughts.
Filming for "Anna Doriya" is nearing its end, and she, as the director, has more and more things to do. Let them be.
Shang Yechu is young and has the resources to make mistakes. As for Yang Huanyi... although Luo Yao thinks that Yang Huanyi will be dumped by Shang Yechu sooner or later, Yang Huanyi has already experienced being sidelined, so this emotional setback shouldn't ruin her.
————
Shang Yechu returned to her room dejectedly.
Yang Huanyi is not here; I wonder where she's gone to sulk again.
It's better that he's not here. Shang Yechu suffered a crushing defeat at Luo Yao's hands, not only failing to gain any advice but also getting a severe scolding. It wouldn't make sense for Yang Huanyi to see Shang Yechu looking so disheveled.
Look at what Luo Yao is saying!
The terms "scumbag lesbian," "cut off," and "love isn't a script" make it sound like Shang Yechu is a heartless womanizer.
No, it seems that Shang Ye Chu is Shi Shan.
When the name popped into her mind, Shang Yechu was momentarily stunned. Ever since Shi Shan was completely dethroned from his top position due to his PUA incident and was no longer involved with "Heavenly Monarch," Shang Yechu hadn't thought of him for a long time.
New faces replace the old. Qingping Entertainment is now wary of the old guard in the film industry, strategizing how to grab box office revenue and screen time. The likes of Shi Shan have been obsolete for a long time.
Is she doing the same thing as Shi Shan now?
Shang Yechu was startled by this thought, and a feeling of disgust welled up in her heart. If she were to become an incompetent person like Shi Shan, it would truly be a huge regression in her acting skills.
Shang Yechu quickly glanced at the script, then, facing the mirror, picked up a roll of toilet paper to use as a whip, and acted out a scene of Zhao Lele going crazy and beating the servants. She jumped and danced wildly, waving her arms around, until she was exhausted.
After the performance, Shang Yechu felt she had portrayed Zhao Lele's erratic and neurotic nature very well, and nodded in satisfaction. Excellent. Yechu's acting skills, unlike Shi Shanhua's, remained top-notch.
Since her acting skills haven't deteriorated, then it must be a flaw in her character. Shang Yechu was still somewhat restless. She simply threw down the toilet paper, sat on the floor, and stared blankly, panting.
103 asked in a ghostly voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Shang Yechu said lazily, "I'm wondering, what's the difference between what I did and what Shi Shan did?"
"Are you and Yang Huanyi playing lovers just to get into character?"
"Of course not," Shang Yechu retorted instinctively, then shook her head. "I don't know either."
Love is not a script; who can say for sure how it was born in the first place?
103 paused for a moment, then said in a cold and flat voice, "Sometimes I think you're really greedy."
“I don’t deny that,” Shang Yechu said, frowning. “What kind of actor is it to be so celibate? He might as well be a monk.”
"Isn't this the answer to your question just now?" 103 sneered. "Why be an actor if you're so noble? Take Mazu down from the temple and sit on her."
Shang Yechu was first ostracized by Luo Yao, and then ridiculed by 103. She was so choked that she almost couldn't breathe: "What do you mean by that? You've been saying increasingly harsh things lately. Sometimes I don't even want to listen to you."
"Did you oust Yang Huanyi because she was unprofessional for taking on multiple projects at once, or because you wanted Xiao Fengque?"
"..."
"Did you and your boss go to such lengths to bring down Shi Shan because he had an affair with a female actress on set and deceived her feelings, or because he was in your way?"
