The film crew felt that Su Ge had wasted thirty seconds of their lives.
Ye Chu replied, "...Where did you learn all this nonsense?"
"I often study fortune telling, and these things are incredibly accurate," Su Ge said proudly. "For example, my birth chart and Teacher X's are very compatible. The fortune teller said he's actually suppressing his feelings. The birth chart and astrology also—"
The film workers wondered what terrible things she had done to deserve drinking that bitter coffee today.
"Su Ge," Ye Chu's gentle voice came through, "I'm begging you."
The film crew member thought with a wry smile that the trip to the restroom wasn't a complete waste, since he could actually hear Ye Chu begging for help.
"Oh, if you don't like it, you don't like it." Su Ge scoffed. "Hmm, it's a perfect touch-up. Just apply a little more here—OK! Let's go."
The sound of heels tapping on the floor faded into the distance.
They've finally left.
The film editor breathed a sigh of relief. He checked his phone, saw the time—oh no! The movie was about to start!
The film employee gritted her teeth and made a decision she would regret for the rest of her life: she would stop following this gossip and go see a movie instead.

"I have a good daughter."
"Her appearance is like several golden flowers."
"My beloved Kress,"
I'd rather have her.
"No, not either..."
The melodious sounds of a chorus and organ faded in, and a plaque for a nursing home came into view.
In stark contrast to the poster, the opening scene of "The Forest Without Flowers" features warm colors, primarily gold, orange, and brown, creating an extremely soft atmosphere.
Shang Yechu sat in the front row, looking up at the big screen. To her left were the other main actors, and to her right was Luo Yao. To Luo Yao's right sat Yang Huanyi.
Su Ge and Cao Shi were not key members of the creative team, so they could only sit in the second row.
Originally, Shang Yechu was supposed to sit next to Yang Huanyi. But after what just happened, Luo Yao, without saying a word, resolutely squeezed between them.
The film opens with an elderly Zhao Lele's narration, followed by a scene of "Director Luo Yao" emptying an old box. Luo Yao has a keen eye for aesthetics; the large areas of white space are enough to evoke contemplation. The film is rich in both narrative and nostalgia.
Swish, swish. Old things fall from the box, like soothing white noise. The scroll of memories slowly unfolds...
Lin Fengyu's figure appeared on the screen.
For some reason, the moment Shang Yechu saw that figure, her heart ached, and she felt incredibly sad. It was clearly just a shadow.
There's no going back. Yang Huanyi, Shang Yechu, and that time when she thought the two of them might still have a future.
Because of the pre-screening commotion, there had been a subtle unrest in the theater. However, Luo Yao's films seemed to possess a kind of magic, strangely calming people's hearts.
Reporters who had been quietly contacting their superiors and discussing headlines on their phones gradually put them down.
The gossipy film critics have long since gone back to their places, buried in the movies themselves.
The film crew settled down, turned off their phones, and focused intently on the screen. Off-screen gossip was just spice; the film was the main attraction.
Even Su Ge, who has no interest in art films, yawned twice and then slowly opened her eyes wide, looking intently at the screen...

at the same time.
Fengbiao Video's acquisition has entered a critical phase, Qingping Entertainment's short drama development is thriving, and the online movie in collaboration with Little Monster Pictures has just wrapped filming. Everyone at Qingping Entertainment is extremely busy.
Ji Juntao was, of course, paying attention to the premiere of "The Forest Without Flowers." However, in her view, the real buzz would explode after the premiere. The press releases, trending topics, and marketing had already been laid out; they could be released then, and there was no need for CEO Ji to worry about it personally. Therefore, the exhausted CEO Ji calculated the time, realizing that the premiere in Taiwan should have just started, and then lay down on the office sofa for a short nap.
Thirty minutes later, Mr. Ji opened his eyes precisely on time, urged by the alarm clock. He yawned and got up. At the same time, there was a knock on the office door.
The assistant entered. For some reason, Ji Juntao found the assistant's expression quite shocking.
What happened? "The Forest Without Flowers" shouldn't be finished playing yet, right? Could Shang Yechu really cause some trouble for her in just a short while before it starts?
"Boss." The assistant stepped forward, swallowed hard, and presented the tablet in his hand.
Ji Juntao's eyelids twitched, then twitched again. After seeing the content on the tablet, he had a bad feeling.
Ji Juntao clicked on the top trending video on the hot search list.
Ji Juntao finished reading it.
Ji Juntao felt as if a string in his mind snapped.
