Many netizens commented: The year-end gala is a gathering of veteran and new actors. We can see both seasoned actors who have been working in film and television for many years and emerging forces in the short drama genre. The Chinese entertainment industry is ushering in a moment of convergence between the old and the new.

After the ceremony concluded, the backstage area was bustling with people, including media and staff.

Gu Zhiyan quickly completed the group interview, avoided the crowds, and headed to a private seaside restaurant.

Along the way, we kept running into familiar celebrities. We said goodbye to each other, the sea breeze was blowing on our faces, and we all relaxed after shedding our glamorous red carpet dresses and tense state.

The atmosphere inside the private room was relaxed. In addition to the older and younger women, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao, Lin Gengxin, and others were also present.

Everyone gathered together to eat, drink, and chat, creating a lively atmosphere.

Sister Meng joked about the incident of her falling on the red carpet, and looked at Gu Zhiyan with a smile: "Brother Yan, it's all thanks to your quick thinking today, otherwise I would have embarrassed myself in front of everyone."

Gu Zhiyan smiled and said, "Be careful next time, it wouldn't be good if you fell."

"I understand, Brother Yan, I'll be more careful in the future," Sister Meng replied sweetly.

The conversation naturally turned to the various awards at tonight's Star Awards, with everyone remarking on the diverse range of awards this year, showcasing both veteran actors' steady progress and the continuous breakthroughs of the new generation.

Tian Xiwei recalled the scene of short drama actors going on stage to accept awards: "I never thought that short drama actors could now appear on such a large-scale ceremony. The industry is indeed becoming more and more inclusive."

Kong Xueer strongly agrees: "As long as you act seriously, no matter what field you're in, you'll always be seen."

During the meal, everyone chatted about their upcoming work arrangements, as they all had their own jobs to do.

Gu Zhiyan and his group had the tightest schedule, as they were to take a flight back to Hengdian in two days to resume filming of "Chasing Jade".

"There are still several important scenes to come in 'Chasing Jade.' After filming the snowy night scenes, the next scene is the court confrontation, so we can't delay it for too long," Gu Zhiyan said.

During our casual conversation, my phone kept popping up with trending topics.

The keywords continued to dominate the rankings, and clips from the live stream were constantly being shared by netizens.

Various memes and comments have emerged online.

Gu Zhiyan: Tonight I'm just a decoration between two goddesses, I want to offer them my seat but I'm too embarrassed to.

"His reaction speed when he offered me a helping hand on the red carpet was amazing."

"With veteran actors in the lineup and newcomers in short dramas, the Star Awards lineup this year is truly impressive."

As night deepened, the lights along the Haikou beach flickered. After the dinner party ended, everyone said their goodbyes. Gu Zhiyan and the group of older and younger women returned to the hotel for another round of in-depth and friendly exchanges.

The next morning, Gu Zhiyan, Tian Xiwei, and Kong Xueer took an early flight from Haikou. After landing in Yiwu, they were taken directly to Hengdian World Studios by private car.

After a night's rest, the production team of "Chasing Jade" issued a notice on time, officially commencing a new round of intensive filming.

A light mist enveloped the film studio in Hengdian early in the morning. Gu Zhiyan, Tian Xiwei, and Kong Xueer arrived at the film set on time and were greeted by the director as soon as they got out of the car.

"You're back. We've been waiting for the three of you. Today we'll start filming the crucial scene of the court confrontation."

The costume team had already prepared the costumes. Gu Zhiyan changed into Xie Zheng's black court robe. The elaborate fabric accentuated her tall and straight figure. She quickly suppressed the relaxed and gentle temperament she had displayed at the grand ceremony and immersed herself in the character's forbearing and aloof state of mind.

Tian Xiwei and Kong Xueer quickly completed their makeup and styling. The three of them took advantage of the break before filming to go over their lines in detail.

This scene is a crucial turning point in the entire series.

In the imperial court, Xie Zheng faced a group of powerful officials and publicly revealed a conspiracy that had lasted for many years. On one side was a deep-seated hatred, and on the other side was the overall situation of the country. His emotions were extremely complex.

Filming officially begins, the clapperboard falls.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was tense, with officials lined up on both sides, the candlelight flickering.

Gu Zhiyan, who plays Xie Zheng, slowly stepped forward. His tone was initially calm and restrained, but as the evidence was presented, the grief and indignation that had been suppressed for many years slowly surged up. There was no exaggerated shouting, but the pain and determination surging in his eyes were extremely impactful.

After a take was completed, the entire set was silent for a few seconds, followed by spontaneous applause from the staff.

The director was very satisfied: "The emotional balance was just right. Any more and it would have been too intense, any less and it wouldn't have been able to hold up the scene."

During a break, the crew chatted about the Tencent Video All Star Awards, which had been trending on social media the previous night.

Kong Xueer took out her phone and showed the Reuters video: "People online are still discussing the video of you helping Sister Meng, and the video of you sitting between Sister Qianqian and Liying."

Tian Xiwei laughed and chimed in, "Everyone is joking that you turned into a 'human table' on set."

Gu Zhiyan looked at the clip on the screen and chuckled helplessly, "Haha, netizens just love making memes."

After a short afternoon break, the group had a simple meal at the crew canteen. They chatted about their schedules for various year-end ceremonies and also talked about the preparations for many new dramas in the industry.

Gu Zhiyan wiped his mouth and looked at the palace stage set up in the distance: "The grand ceremony is just a fleeting moment. What can truly capture the audience's attention is the work captured on camera."

As the setting sun streamed through the studio's skylight, a new round of shooting began.

As the clamor of trending topics fades from daily life, Xie Zheng's love-hate entanglements are the story we need to wholeheartedly embrace right now.
