Shang Yechu has been using the stage name Yechu since the first day of filming.
She disliked her surname. She hated her father and mother, her siblings, and everything associated with that surname.
In the entertainment industry, artists cannot choose stage names arbitrarily; their companies usually need to approve them. In areas where superstition is prevalent, such as the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, professional masters are often consulted to assess feng shui and choose an auspicious time when selecting a stage name.
Shang Yechu is currently working independently, and he's quite casual about choosing a stage name, simply dropping his surname and using it directly. Removing the surname is to sever ties with those people, while keeping his given name is to remember who he is.
While filming "Yun Qing Ji", Zheng Bohan's old friend and screenwriter Liu Hong even did a fortune telling for her stage name.
Screenwriters are well-read and knowledgeable. In order to create their works, they often have a good understanding of some trivial and obscure subjects.
Screenwriter Liu Hong had previously written a script about fortune tellers, so he knew more about divination and name reading than others. That day, with nothing else to do, Shang Yechu finished her scene in one take, and the crew had some free time. Liu Hong then took the opportunity to perform a divination for Shang Yechu.
Shang Yechu still remembers what happened back then.
“Ye Chu…” Liu Hong mumbled some calculations, “Mountain and Earth Stripping Hexagram, medium to low.”
Shang Yechu didn't believe in this, but wanting to avoid offending anyone, she still cooperated and asked, "What does that mean?"
"The person indicated by this hexagram will receive unexpected blessings throughout their life, and miracles will often occur at the end of their life, turning the tide of fate."
"The person indicated by this hexagram is inclined towards tranquility and dislikes noisy places. They are drawn to religious and philosophical contemplation. They are rational, good at planning, suspicious, and fond of wealth."
"Regarding family, one lacks support from relatives and must establish one's own family; regarding oneself, one's efforts are accompanied by stubbornness, making one prone to gastrointestinal diseases. Both are very unlucky."
"As for romantic relationships, there may be a secret admiration for someone unsuitable, or a memory that will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Ominous."
"Quick-witted and exceptionally intelligent, he may sometimes struggle to gain the approval of others, but through trials and tribulations, he will eventually achieve great success and gain worldwide renown."
Liu Hong spoke with great care and precision, and Shang Yechu blinked and laughed, "You're really cultured; I don't quite understand."
"Play dumb." Liu Hong casually flicked Shang Yechu from a distance. "Is this your family name? I heard Old Zheng say your surname is Shang."
"Yes." Shang Yechu casually made up a story: "Some people said that this surname is not auspicious with this name, so I changed it."
Liu Hong became interested: "Let me calculate it for you."
Before Shang Ye could stop him, Liu Hong started fiddling with that set of tools again.
After a while, Liu Hong frowned and said, "It's really not good. He's weak and sickly, destined to die alone. He clearly shows artistic talent, with remarkable ability in aesthetics, art, and performance, yet his fate seems to be suppressed, making success impossible..."
Shang Yechu listened quietly without saying a word.
Liu Hong muttered a couple of words and said, "Let's still use Ye Chu. Ye Chu is quite good, much better than your original name. There's also a bit of hope for great success."
Shang Yechu smiled and said, "Then I'll take your kind words."
Leaving aside Shang Yechu's stage name for the moment, Di Xue, after watching the movie, immediately went to the forum.
The post in the "Screen Shadows and Heroes" section titled "[Did you all watch 'Tianji Tower' which aired tonight? What did you think?]" has changed from a "[Hot]" symbol to a "[Explosive]" symbol, which shows just how heated the discussion is on the forum.
Upon entering the "Screen Shadows and Heroes" section, Di Xue was immediately taken aback by the grand scene there!
Did everyone watch "The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion" that aired tonight? What did you think?
[Newbie seeking help | How can I download movies from the movie channel to my phone?]
[Newcomer seeking help | Does anyone know who played the courtesan in "Tianji Tower"?]
[Newcomer's Inquiry | Where can I read the original novel of "Tianjilou"?]
[Entering the Martial World | Will Mianmian reappear later?]
[Veteran's Rant | The casting for "Tianji Tower" was a complete failure; the male and female leads were the biggest mistake.]
Are Mianmian and Xiao Fengque a couple?
Does Xie An like Mianmian?
[Newcomer's Invitation | I've just started watching a new movie on the Movie Channel, please give me your feedback!]
[Casual Chat | Congratulations to Xiao Fengque for his curse coming true again!]
[Isn't the movie channel a government-owned enterprise? How come just anyone with connections can get in? What kind of role is Xie An playing?]
[Contains black mud, proceed with caution | Xiao Fengque is sixteen! Sixteen! Sixteen! Old cucumber, retreat, retreat!]
[I think the movie channel's show tonight, "The Mystery Tower," should be renamed "Aunt Xiao and Xie Bazi."]
The worst version of Xiao Fengque is still undecided, but the worst version of Xie An has already appeared...
Jiang Erjing is still as sharp as ever; he bears a resemblance to Li Xunhuan (the third scholar in the imperial examinations).
Who is the person dancing in "Tianji Tower"? They seem like the mastermind behind it all.
Why don't you just delete Xie An...?
The entire forum was a scene of chaos and uproar, filled with posts discussing "Tianjilou". The old tavern hadn't been this lively in a long time.
Di Xue could completely understand the buzz. Given the status and popularity of "Phoenix Plays with Dragon," and Xiao Fengque's public image, it would be a miracle if no one was discussing it.
Di Xue first clicked on the most popular post, which was the first one.
The old wine shop forum has more female fans, and its style is slightly different from that of Tieba.
