Chapter 615 After leaving the film crew, I woke up from a jumble of memories, and the sun had already set outside the car window.
Shang Yechu's mood was still very chaotic.
In fact, even without Shao Guangji's reminder, she planned to take some time to reflect after filming "The Heavenly Emperor" wrapped up.
Both "Anna Doriya" and "The Heavenly Emperor" were extremely demanding works, requiring immense effort and emotion. Even for Shang Yechu, working on two consecutive projects was taking its toll. She needed to rest, step away from these two productions, wash away her fatigue, and rejuvenate her soul.
According to Ji Juntao, the Sino-Russian co-production film is expected to begin filming after December, because they need to capture a lot of real snow scenes. Casting in China hasn't been finalized yet, as there are very few actors who speak Russian.
Shang Yechu plans to take a good rest during the three months from September to December, learn Russian, read the history of both countries, read Russian works, and refresh himself to strive for this work.
Apart from the episode of "Happiness Street Detective" that needed to be filmed, Shang Yechu had no intention of participating in any other filming.
But after Shao Guangji's reminder, the situation took a different turn. She didn't want Shao Guangji to think that she decided to rest at his suggestion. She didn't want Shao Guangji to have even the slightest possibility of misunderstanding... misunderstanding that he could have an influence on her.
Although she felt a momentary tremor after Shao Guangji uttered the same words as in her previous life.

The first thing I did upon returning to Hengshi was to visit Grandma Hu.
Having not seen her for a long time, Shang Yechu was startled to find the old lady much thinner. After questioning her closely, she learned that she was suffering from summer heatstroke.
Since the airing of "The Legend of Happiness Street," the popularity of Happiness Commercial Street (although it has been renamed Happiness World, Shang Yechu still prefers to call it that) has soared even higher. Business was booming during the summer vacation, and as National Day approached, reservations even doubled compared to the previous period. Countless tourists have come here on pilgrimage, and places like Grandma Hu's Guyue Bookstore, the mobile phone shops, roast duck shops, and candy shops on the street have become popular spots for taking photos.
Throughout the summer, Grandma Hu and her family lived in a flurry of activity. If Shang Yechu was so busy on set that she was practically running around with her feet touching the back of her head, then Grandma Hu and her family were practically kicking each other in the back of the head with both feet. Add to that the sweltering summer heat, and Grandma Hu and her family all lost a considerable amount of weight.
Fortunately, with National Day approaching, Xingfu Commercial Street will be closed for a week for maintenance to prepare for the massive and overwhelming influx of visitors. This allowed Mrs. Hu and her family to finally get some rest.
Grandma Hu touched Shang Yechu's waist, belly, and arms, then pinched Shang Yechu's cheeks and said with a smile, "You've gotten fat."
Shang Yechu smiled and said, "You've lost quite a bit of weight, and Qiao Chuan has gotten slimmer too."
Grandma Hu's grandson, Qiao Chuan, was a chubby little boy when Shang Yechu first saw him last year, but he's grown quite a bit this year. What surprised Shang Yechu even more was that Qiao Chuan was much better behaved than last year. Last year, when Shang Yechu came, he was secretly playing on his phone while doing his homework, and his mother, Hongying, scolded him by the ear; this year, he's even learned to serve Shang Yechu tea and water, and after doing these chores, he silently retreats to his room to do his homework.
Grandma Hu noticed Shang Yechu's surprise and smiled, "You also think my grandson has become sensible?"
Shang Yechu was also quite curious: "Isn't it said that teenagers are the hardest to manage? I think Xiaochuan is alright."
Grandma Hu laughed and said, "He's only alright now! If you had come two months earlier, he would have driven you crazy."
"What's going on?" Shang Yechu sensed the unease of gossip.
Grandma Hu waved her hand: "This year when school starts, he insisted on buying a bicycle—"
"Doesn't Uncle Hong have a taxi?" Shang Yechu thought Qiao Chuan was being unnecessary. Old Mrs. Hu's son, Hongtu, was a taxi driver, so taking Qiao Chuan to and from school was just a matter of convenience.
