Chapter 543 A Shocking Event (Two Chapters Combined) @Official Weibo Account of the Movie "Heavenly Emperor":
The film "The Heavenly Emperor," adapted from the novel by renowned science fiction writer Ai Xiaodong (@82adxa), directed by Shao Guangji (@绍光济), starring Ye Chu (@叶初Leaves), with special appearance by Lu Hongyi, and featuring Tang Song (@唐松), Zhao Qian (@赵谦), Maxim (Maxim), Lucas (Lucas), Nina Meyer (@妮娜·梅), Li Zhenxiang (@李振祥), and Yang Huanyi (@杨欢宜), began filming today.
In the vast universe, love is a fully automatic miracle.
Many marketing accounts had already leaked rumors that Ye Chu was in talks for a major project. Several influential figures with connections also hinted that Shao Guangji, a powerful figure in the directing world, had recently collaborated with a young actress, who is set to star in a blockbuster film this year. Even some industry insiders made sarcastic remarks, saying, "Having connections in the entertainment industry is really advantageous; they don't care about seniority, they only care about looks. Even a big director can be seduced by beauty; an old horse has stumbled..."
Even so, before the film was officially announced, not a single person believed that this absurd idea was real.
What is the significance of Shao Guangji? What is the scale of a science fiction film? The idea that the film industry is dominated by middle-aged filmmakers is deeply ingrained. Who on earth is crazy enough to let a greenhorn take the lead in such a large-scale production?
Even Ye Ya, who had already learned some clues through the account "Did Ye Chu film today?", couldn't believe it was true. Everyone agreed that Ye Chu had most likely landed a role in Shao Guangji's film, perhaps as the male lead's lover, daughter, or deceased "white moonlight." Those with a bit more courage only dared to imagine that Ye Chu might have played a powerful, beautiful female villain—which, for a newcomer, was already quite good.
Not to mention other fans and casual observers in the entertainment industry, even Ye Ya herself, upon seeing this news, had the same thought: Could it be that Ye Chu really has someone on her side?
If Shao Guangji or Shang Yechu knew these thoughts, they would surely feel deeply wronged. In Shao Guangji's case, if Yechu wasn't given the lead role in "The Heavenly Emperor," even legally starting filming would become a problem. The options were: either choose Yechu as the lead, cut the script to a mere outline, or the film would never be released—it was simply a matter of choosing the lesser of three evils.
For Shang Yechu, it was even more unjust: What do you mean, "someone with connections"? It was all my money that was spent! My money! All my savings since I entered this industry!
This news was so shocking, it felt like a preview of an April Fool's joke. Furthermore, the comment control scripts prepared by Ye Chu's fandom were all for supporting female characters, not the lead actress, so Ye Chu's fans couldn't control the comment section immediately.

This is the number one most popular comment.
Holy crap!
This is the second most popular comment.
April Fool's Day is still more than two weeks away...
This is the third most popular comment.
[I know Ai Xiaodong, but which book is "The Heavenly Ruler"? I've never read it.]
[Is "The Heavenly Lord" a short story? I remember the whole thing is only a little over 10,000 words. How can I revise it?]
[I really can't believe it! Who exactly is Ye Chu? She's constantly trending on social media, and now she keeps throwing money at me...]
Wow, Ye Chu's acting is great! Happiness Street was really good, I'm looking forward to this one!
[Why does it feel like Ye Chu is everywhere – when I turn on the TV, when I walk into the movie theater, even when I'm shopping? [Doraemon is surprised]]
[Shao Guangji is still making movies? I thought he had been taken care of by the corrupt officials a long time ago [surprised]]
[Ai Xiaodong hasn't been on Weibo for six months, and his first post is this...]
[Is Ai Xiaodong's lawsuit with the publishing house finally over? Can it actually be adapted now?]
Of course, after realizing that this windfall was real, Ye Ya, who was overwhelmed by the good news, immediately and skillfully assembled a large army and rushed to the comment section of the official Weibo account of "Tianjun".
Within five minutes, the sentiment in the comments section shifted dramatically:
Wow! Looking forward to the sci-fi epic "The Heavenly Lord"! Looking forward to the lead actor, Ye Chu! Looking forward to Ye Chu's collaboration with his seniors~
【♡Congratulations Ye Chu♡! I've always loved Ai Xiaodong's science fiction novels, and I've watched Shao Guangji's movies since I was a child. All three of us are overjoyed! [Image comment]】

Female actors have endless possibilities! They can act in comedies and sci-fi films ♡♡♡ Looking forward to Ye Chu and the all-star cast of "The Heavenly Emperor"! PS: "Happy Street" is invested in by Ye Chu, not something given to her by anyone else~
Looking forward to Ye Chu's new role ☆☽[Leaf]
[A novel of unparalleled excellence, an acting force of exceptional talent.]
Ye Chu's frequent appearances on trending topics recently were manipulated by malicious individuals to create negative publicity for the film "The Heavenly Emperor." While I understand the feelings of casual viewers, Ye Chu is truly a wonderful actress. She has a rich and solid filmography, and I look forward to everyone getting to know such an excellent actress. ♡ [Image comment]
The accompanying image is a poster compiling Shang Yechu's major works, along with their corresponding Green Petal ratings and the number of ratings. The highest-rated work is undoubtedly the TV series "Tianban," with a score of 9.0. The "Yun Qing Ji," "Ya Po," and "Xiao Feng Que" series all hover between 8.0 and 8.6 in rating.
The lowest score was for the movie "Happy Street," with only 7.9 points. Ye Ya's fans had painstakingly worked together to raise the rating to 8 points, but Ye Chu's recent frequent appearances on trending topics caused them to constantly fight with other fan groups. The opposing fan groups repeatedly gave "Happy Street" one-star ratings, causing the hard-earned rating to plummet again, almost driving Ye Ya's fans crazy.
The comment section was filled with posters of works in different layouts, as if slapping the faces of those unqualified people like Ye Chu.
Although the leaf buds are strong in combat, they are absolutely unwavering in the face of big issues. Cleverly, they didn't argue with the negative comments, but instead garnered many likes and pushed the positive ones to the top, while suppressing the negative ones. Soon, the comment section was harmonious, and all traces of debate disappeared.
Of course, in private, the fans aren't so composed and reliable. On their personal Weibo accounts, fans of all ages are in a frenzy, celebrating wildly, even more excitedly than during the Lunar New Year.
@Chlorophyll: [I slapped myself at my desk, and my boss asked if I was confessing to slacking off.]
@江上清风一叶: [Holy crap, Shao Guangji! Shao Guangji! Sisters! Old Ye has really made something of himself [tears emoji]]
[Seeking information: What happened to Shao Guangji?]
