Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shang Yechu's mind!
During the script reading sessions that lasted for more than ten days, and in countless debates with Shao Guangji, both Shang Yechu and Shao Guangji overlooked the most important point—
The Heavenly Ruler is the mother goddess of civilization. Humanity is naturally considered the Heavenly Ruler's child. Therefore, Shao Guangji and Ai Xiaodong argue endlessly about whether the Heavenly Ruler cares about humanity. In Shao Guangji's view, a mother should naturally care about her child; but in Ai Xiaodong's view, the Heavenly Ruler is an old man—how can an old man be a mother? Why would an old man care about humanity?
Shang Yechu had read the original novel too many times and was deeply influenced by Ai Xiaodong, unconsciously adopting his ideas. In many moments, his performance emphasized a calm, indifferent, and inclusive divinity. However, the script for "The Heavenly Emperor" had actually deviated from the control of the original work. The Heavenly Emperor in the film version and that faltering old man were two different beings.
Shang Yechu closed her eyes and put herself in the shoes of the god who had instigated the conflict between AI and humanity.
Why did you do that?
Why didn't you save her?
What were you thinking when she tossed the baby into the air?
Why is this moment a turning point in your thinking?
And most importantly, for whom did you take that step?
In the pitch-black universe, a ray of dawn pierced through the sky—
Shang Yechu suddenly stood up!
She found it! The point that she and Shao Guangji overlooked was also a crucial underlying logic in the script—
It is not only humans who are subjects of the Heavenly Ruler.
AI is the same.
This discovery thrilled Shang Yechu; now, her understanding of the Heavenly Lord's role was completely clear. The only thing that was interfering with her was Yang Huanyi, an external factor.
Shang Yechu took a deep breath and walked out of the dressing room. The busy work in the photography studio was coming to an end, and everyone's eyes turned to her as she came out.
The set of "The Heavenly King" was as orderly as ever, showcasing the rationality and systematic beauty of the film industry. All that remained was for Shao Guangji to shout "Action!"
At that moment, Shang Yechu's restless heart suddenly calmed down.
So many people are waiting for her; she's the lead actress in the movie.
This wasn't a test shot, but a formal shoot. Every spot of light was precious, every moment irreplaceable. If she delayed the shoot because of her own emotions, she would be letting down everyone present, and betraying this utopian vision of film!
This seemed to be a mental spring. All the chaos vanished in an instant, and Shang Yechu became Yechu again.
