Chapter 547 Taking Advantage of Someone's Downfall "Huh?" Xiao Wang was a little confused. "Didn't the company buy a yearly package of online trolls? We can fill in the data here slowly."
"Find Ye Ya something to do, so they won't keep chasing after Su Ge like that." Shang Ye Chu shook her head helplessly.
Shang Yechu would never do something like Qin Tianye, personally betraying her fans. She could only resort to this roundabout method. Fans only have so much energy; if she did one thing, she might not be able to care about another.
“Let me give you a hint,” Shang Yechu said, thinking for a moment, “Well, say that ‘Yun Qing Ji’ is, after all, a collaborative effort. Now that Qin Tianye has stepped forward, if Ye Ya keeps chasing after Su Ge, it might give others something to criticize. The three young ladies might find fault with her…”
"Ye Chu is already at the next level, there's no need for her to get entangled with a washed-up nobody who's already finished."
"There are countless people in the industry who are envious of Ye Chu right now, so it's most important to focus on your own interests."
"If there's a twist in Su Ge's case, going too far would only make things look bad."
"While Sugar Films is an old rival, Metafilm is still one of the three major studios, and there might be future collaborations. It wouldn't be good if things got too ugly."
"Our goal, Leaf Sprouts, is the stars and the sea, not trivial matters. We need to have the style of top-tier fans..."
Shang Yechu kept talking, and Xiao Wang listened in a daze.
"Anyway, that's it," Shang Yechu sighed helplessly. "The more you belittle Su Ge, the better. Belittle her to the point that Ye Ya feels it's not worth arguing with a nobody; keep your tone proud, don't sound like you're scolding a fan, so those desperate women don't overthink it; create as many imaginary enemies as possible to divert Ye Ya's attention to them, like Lu Yuxuan, Ouyang Jin, Yingjie, and those old men in the film industry..."
Xiao Wang laughed as he took notes: "Big sister, why are you acting like a mother hen?"
Shang Yechu was taken aback, then said self-deprecatingly, "I'm definitely getting more and more of a chatterbox. I can't even manage the relationship between my fans and friends, yet I'm thinking of forming some kind of guild with a bunch of people I don't know well. I'm really bad at this but addicted to it."
Xiao Wang covered his mouth and laughed, "Big sister, why do you say that? As soon as Su Ge's incident was exposed, You Jinghua unfollowed her and even posted a Weibo to sever ties. Jingjiang Rousi (You Jinghua's fan name) was overjoyed on Weibo. But we all think that kicking someone when they're down is low and not like a man's behavior. Qin Tianye was indeed loyal enough, but he didn't treat his fans like human beings."
You Jinghua and Su Ge had been rumored to be dating for a long time, but when this scandal broke, she was the first to come forward and distance herself from it. This sparked thousands of mocking posts on Green Petal.
"Really?" Shang Yechu was a little surprised. "I thought you liked someone as decisive as President Ji, and didn't like someone as indecisive as me."
“The boss is great, of course,” Assistant Wang stuck out his tongue. “I feel at ease working for her. But I feel comfortable working for you.”
Shang Yechu was taken aback, not expecting that the people around her would think of her this way. She had once thought that her interpersonal relationships had deteriorated to the point that no one cared anymore. After all, these people were always tattling to Ji Juntao.
Assistant Wang organized Shang Yechu's speech, glanced at it again, and clicked his tongue, saying, "My dad watches historical dramas, and those old men are always crying and wailing, shouting about how 'loyalty and righteousness are hard to reconcile.' But after seeing you today, I realized that people who want to achieve both don't complain about how difficult it is; instead, they feel that they haven't done enough."
Shang Yechu pleaded, "Don't praise me like that, you'll blow me to death. I'm not that great, alright, alright, Little Sister Wang, go on now..."
Assistant Wang wanted to say something, but when he looked up, his face turned pale, and he left in a flash.
Shang Yechu was puzzled when he turned around and saw Shao Guangji standing behind him with an ambiguous expression. No wonder he scared Assistant Wang away.
“Teacher Shao,” Shang Yechu hurriedly stood up, “You—”
Shang Yechu initially wanted to ask, "When did you arrive?", but if Shao Guangji overheard her and her assistant discussing buying online trolls, the renowned director would likely unleash his disdain for her, a mere celebrity. Instead, she changed her question: "Is there something you need from me?"
Shao Guangji gave Shang Yechu a sharp look, scrutinizing her from head to toe: "My film crew is very relaxed, why would I let you chat idly with your assistant here?"
Shang Yechu chuckled dryly, "Isn't it lunchtime now?" It's truly the other way around; everyone else can take a lunch break, but I can't? Menopausal men are terrifying.
Shao Guangji glanced at his watch and frowned: "Lunch break is over. Let's go over the lines."
Shang Yechu immediately put down her phone: "Okay, which part?"
Shao Guangji asked, "What was the first thing the Heavenly Emperor said in his flashback when he connected his brain to the central control center?"
Shang Yechu blurted out, "'You've promised the arrival of a golden age to these people's descendants, but what have you given these people themselves?'"
"What was the first thing the Heavenly King said to Anika?"
"How did you become like this?" Upon hearing this, Shang Yechu immediately recalled her unfinished debate with Shao Guangji.
“Teacher Shao, I’ve read the script and the original novel thoroughly. Tianjun had never met Anika before, but his first line of dialogue had the feel of a long-awaited reunion.” Shang Yechu began to argue again, “If Anika wasn’t hiding her identity, then this line would be grammatically incorrect or a pointless addition. If there are any foreshadowing elements in the post-credits scene, you should have let me know beforehand. Otherwise, there might be contradictions during the performance.”
Shao Guangji was surprised that Shang Yechu still remembered this matter. He pursed his lips and raised his hand, saying, "Let's put this matter aside for now. How are your preparations for the scene the day after tomorrow going?"
The scene to be filmed the day after tomorrow is the first time the Heavenly Emperor arrives at the abandoned factory and encounters the rebel army. It's also a large ensemble piece. The entire scene needs to highlight the character traits of most of the core members of the rebel army within a single scene. And the Heavenly Emperor, as the focal point of the scene, needs to take all of this into account.
This scene was also the first scene the crew filmed at the Yinzhou Film and Television Industrial Park.
A good start is half the battle. This scene will be the highlight of the filming at Silver Island.
