Platforms like Weibo, Green Petal, Pi Station, Zhihu, and Hongshu have always been known for copying and pasting from each other. Shang Yechu hadn't paid much attention to it at first. — Until she clicked on the picture and looked at it carefully, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
I never expected netizens to be so capable; they actually dug up so much stuff!
Shang Yechu's face twitched several times while watching Su Ge and the good Samaritan's parts. The part about Yang Huanyi, however, gave Shang Yechu a real shock.
Most netizens on the trending topics were just looking for fun, making a fuss and overreacting. Some said they were shipping them, some said the CP fans were spreading rumors, some were surprised that Ye Chu was like this, and some were simply watching the drama. Most people didn't show much disgust. But Shang Ye Chu, feeling guilty, felt like everyone knew about her little story with Yang Huan Yi, and her heart was pounding, her palms sweating.
The effort Shang Yechu made to avoid suspicion with Yang Huanyi during this period was not a one-sided effort, but rather an unspoken understanding between the two.
Both of them knew that by capitalizing on their current popularity and engaging in productive activities, they could attract more fans and appear more guilt-free. Yet, when they were face to face, they couldn't even look each other in the eye. The slightest touch between them caused an indescribable discomfort, like being burned.
What if I feel guilty?
Shang Yechu could tell that Yang Huanyi wanted to use her to generate publicity. Several times, she caught glimpses of Yang Huanyi walking towards her out of the corner of her eye. Each time, she held her breath, waiting for Yang Huanyi to come up and interact with her, so that she could openly cooperate with Yang Huanyi. This way, it wouldn't seem like Yechu was belittling herself or desperately trying to please him; it would also allow Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi to have interactions outside of work in a legitimate way.
But each time, Yang Huanyi stopped halfway.
Each time, Shang Yechu deliberately softened her breathing, it ended with her returning to her original rhythm.
Shang Yechu watched helplessly as the opportune moment for hype slipped away, and so did Yang Huanyi. The two of them wasted the buzz and time generated by "The Forest Without Flowers," neither knowing what the other was waiting for.
Yang Huanyi, don't you crave attention? Why don't you come to me?
As long as you show even a little willingness, I will cooperate with you.
Countless such thoughts flowed through their minds, and the two remained frozen and cold, dragging it out until now.
Meanwhile, the fans of the Tang Yezi CP (Tang Yezi and Yang Huanyi) were overjoyed. They believed that Ye Chu's coldness towards Yang Huanyi must be because Ye Chu was keeping herself pure for Su Ge, and that the older sister and sister-in-law were indeed a match made in heaven, a sweet couple of the century. Shang Ye Chu's eyelids twitched, and she almost thought she had lost a piece of her memory.
Shang Yechu turned off the trending topics about the carnival and forced herself to calm down.
The awards ceremony is tonight.
The chairman of the jury for this year's Film Awards is South Korean director Park Se-jin. Only one other member of the jury is from China: Hong Kong director Ban Ching-man.
Ban Qingwen's films are quite famous throughout Asia and carry some weight on the judging panel. As the only Chinese director in the team, she was naturally a key target for Qingping Entertainment's lobbying efforts.
Ban Qingwen agreed readily, but politely declined the benefits offered by Qingping Entertainment. This left Shang Yechu feeling extremely uneasy and uncertain.
I heard that Yang Huanyi also put a lot of effort into getting Ban Qingwen involved. In addition, Cao Shi seems to have also used his connections to get in touch with several judges and directors in South Korea.
Lobbying at major film festivals is an open secret within the industry. The judges play a crucial role in this. Especially for international film awards like the Film Festival World Awards, judges from various countries want a piece of the pie for their own nation. In years with a plethora of excellent films, it's not uncommon for judges to engage in heated arguments, even bordering on fierce competition.
Shang Yechu took a deep breath and blinked. The moment she opened her eyes, her face had regained its flawless expression.
There was a commotion outside the car. Through the car window, one could almost see the flashes of camera flashes.
Shang Yechu got off the car.
