Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 260 Wang Churan's Obsession
She changed the subject, her tone becoming more familiar and gentle: "However, in private, Chu Ran is my junior from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. This collaboration can be seen as a friendly exchange between fellow students, which is quite a coincidence."

Wang Churan immediately chimed in, her eyes brightening: "It's a great honor to work with Senior Tian. The character Chidi is so captivating. The weight and helplessness of being an ancient war god, as well as the struggles hidden beneath his tough exterior, all have a lot of potential to explore. I'm especially looking forward to having scenes with Senior Tian on screen."

The two actresses smiled at each other, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

But astute reporters still managed to detect the undercurrents.

As Tian Xiwei spoke, Gu Yang's gaze remained fixed on her face, with undisguised focus.

Wang Churan's gaze kept drifting towards Gu Yang, her smiling eyes concealing a fleeting complex emotion.

These three people clearly have a story to tell!
After all, Director Gu is a notorious scumbag!

"Director Gu, when is this drama expected to be released?" a reporter asked.

"If all goes well, it should be able to meet the audience next summer," Gu Yang replied. "We will complete the production as soon as possible while ensuring quality."

As the press conference drew to a close, the main cast and crew stood together for the media to take photos.

Gu Yang stood in the middle, with Tian Xiwei and Wang Cheran standing on either side of him.

Under the flash of the camera, the three of them had flawless expressions, but the subtle distance between them revealed more information.

Tian Xiwei unconsciously leaned towards Gu Yang, while Wang Cheran maintained an elegant distance.

As the press conference officially ended and the main cast members left, the reporters were still engaged in heated discussions:

"Gu Yang treats Wang Churan differently..."

"Impossible, right? Wasn't Tian Xiwei the first wife?"

"What do you know? The wife and the mistress are in the same film crew, aren't these kinds of things common enough?"

"This drama has already generated so much buzz even before filming has started; it's bound to be a hit!"

As Wang Cherished and walked quickly through the exit passage, Gu Yang suddenly called out to her.

"Don't worry about what happened earlier. Good luck next time, and do your best!" He handed her a bottle of water.

Wang took the water with a trembling expression and whispered her thanks: "Thank you, Director Gu, for helping me out. I will do my best!"

“Just call me Brother Gu,” he smiled. “We’ll be working together for the next few months, so there’s no need to be so formal.”

"Humph!!!"

Tian Xiwei, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around. The smile on her face had completely disappeared, and her eyes were like ice, shooting straight at Wang Churan: "Junior, I have to remind you of something."

She deliberately emphasized the words "junior," her tone filled with undisguised hostility: "We're here to film a movie, not to do anything else. Brother Gu is the director, and you're the actress. Just do your job and stop thinking about these other things all the time."

Wang Churan tightened his grip on the water glass, looked up to meet her gaze, his face showing no fear, but rather a faint yet firm smile: "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely do my best in filming."

"But I can't control my feelings!"

? ? ? ? ?

Gu Yang was stunned; it was normal for Xiao Tian to be jealous.

What's wrong with this girl? Is she really that brave? They've only seen her a few times!
“You can’t hide your feelings for someone, especially someone as outstanding as Brother Gu! I think liking someone isn’t something that can be ignored.”

"You!" Tian Xiwei was taken aback, her face darkening further. "Do you know what you're saying?"

“I know very well.” Wang took a half step forward, her voice soft but clear. “I like Director Gu, and I’m not afraid to let people know. As for filming, I won’t let it interfere with my work at all; on the contrary, I’ll work even harder! After all, who doesn’t want to perform better in front of someone they like?”

Gu Yang frowned, wanting to smooth things over, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Tian Xiwei's sharp gaze.

Women from Sichuan and Chongqing can be quite formidable when they're angry!
She stared intently at Wang Churan, as if trying to see right through her: "Wang Churan, don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a junior. This is a film set, not a place for romance. Be smart and behave yourself!"

"It's none of your business to meddle in matters of the heart, senior, isn't it?" Wang Cheran raised her chin slightly, her tone carrying a hint of youthful arrogance. "Brother Gu didn't say anything, but you seem more anxious than the person involved. Are you so nervous because you're afraid I'll steal your chance?"

"Nervous?" Tian Xiwei seemed completely enraged, her chest heaving violently, but her eyes suddenly sharpened as she stared directly at Wang Cheran. "You'd better understand, Gu Yang is my man! You don't believe me? You can ask him right now, isn't that right!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head sharply to look at Gu Yang, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness that was barely perceptible, but even more so, a firm expectation.

Gu Yang almost immediately stepped forward, and before Tian Xiwei could speak again, he naturally reached out and pulled her into his arms, his arms tightly encircling her waist. He lowered his head and kissed her blushing cheek, his actions intimate and filled with an undeniable possessiveness.

"Alright, don't be angry." His voice was low and gentle, filled with unyielding affection, and he gently pinched her chin with his fingertips. "Why get angry with a little girl?"

Tian Xiwei was taken aback by the sudden intimacy, and her cheeks flushed red, even her ears turned pink. Her anger subsided instantly, leaving only a little shyness. She subconsciously snuggled closer to him.

Gu Yang then looked up at Wang Churan, the gentleness on his face fading, replaced by a polite yet distant firmness: "Churan, I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend, Xiaotian. From now on, let's focus on our work on set."

His tone was calm, yet every word was clear and unambiguous, his stance made perfectly clear.

Wang Churan's smile faded slightly, but she quickly put on a well-behaved expression and nodded: "Okay, Brother Gu, I understand. I won't cause any more trouble. Sorry for disturbing you earlier."

He spoke respectfully, but a hint of stubbornness, barely perceptible to others, flashed in his eyes.

As the others turned to leave, she rolled her eyes as she looked at Gu Yang and Tian Xiwei's retreating figures.

What's there to be afraid of if you're not married?
Even if we get married, what difference will it make?
Wang Chran was determined to take this man.

……

With the start of filming for "The Legend of Canglan", online discussions about the young actresses from Xinghe Media continue to heat up.

But no one expected that what would truly cause a huge uproar would be the news that Tencent Video's "Hard to Coax" and kiwi's "Secretly Like You" were about to be released.

These two dramas not only premiered around the same time, but are also highly anticipated sister series, instantly igniting heated discussions among netizens.

Both platforms pulled out all the stops for this "ratings battle".

Leveraging its strong resources, Tencent Video launched a comprehensive promotional campaign, prominently featuring the video on its homepage and collaborating with major social media platforms to initiate discussions and capitalize on the fan effect to drive massive traffic.

Kiwifruit was not to be outdone, leveraging a unique content operation strategy to uncover the highlights of the series, focusing on sentiment and emotional resonance, and attracting audience attention through in-depth interpretation of the plot and characters.

As the lead actresses of the two dramas, Zhang Ruonan and Zhao Lusi's popularity has also soared along with this platform battle.

This is also why Gu Yang disagreed with selling the entire series to a single platform!
