Sheng Tang is most unwilling to cause a scandal.
Her recent few trending searches have been quite positive, accumulating a lot of popularity for her and gathering many fans.
"This blogger wrote that your acting was great. This wasn’t arranged by the company; she probably really liked you after watching the movie." Ai’ai handed the phone to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang took it.
She carefully read the lengthy article, somewhat ravenously.
Every actor, when they see someone genuinely praising their acting, they all feel elated inside. No matter how indifferent Sheng Tang might be, she still needs external affirmation.
She read it once, and again, far more attentively than articles paid for by reviewers to write soft texts.
"Written quite well, isn’t it?"
Sheng Tang nodded.
"Now the crew and Brother Fei are marketing this article, striving for more people to see it. Look, the comments are very positive too, all eagerly anticipating your new movie." Ai’ai said.
Sheng Tang smiled faintly.
The waiter served lunch; Sheng Tang’s diet was relatively light, and she didn’t eat much.
She removed her mask to eat.
Ai’ai told her again: "What time do you plan to leave? Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, ’Finding Love’ is starting to shoot its new episode, and you need to attend."
"Finding Love" is a very popular reality TV show, its full name being "Searching for Love’s Paradise", inviting various celebrities to find clues provided by the show in a competitive manner.
This show currently has a great market. Zheng Weiwei had the three leading actors participate as guests to promote "Who Fears Who in the Workplace".
This is one of the promotions.
Similar reality, interview, and entertainment programs were arranged in abundance; from this month until before National Day, Sheng Tang’s schedule was fully packed.
Promoting a movie in its early stages is very exhausting.
Sheng Tang herself is not a variety show artist, nor does she enjoy lively atmospheres; she finds it troublesome dealing with self-deprecating or comedic types of shows.
Even more tiring than filming a movie.
But promoting requires such efforts, she can’t hold back. Especially in variety shows, the more open and relatable she is, the more she can gather fans.
Sheng Tang would not complain or disclose her hardships to Ai’ai, she remained calm: "We’ll take the twelve o’clock flight tonight, sleep for a while on the plane, and still manage to sleep three to four hours at the hotel."
"Then I’ll book the tickets." Ai’ai said.
Sheng Tang nodded.
She and Ai’ai went out together, Ai’ai would book first class for her, and economy for herself as the plane tickets were reimbursed by the company, not paid by Sheng Tang.
After lunch, Sheng Tang returned to the hospital.
Gu Jiahui woke up.
"... When are you leaving?" He directly asked Sheng Tang.
Cheng Lichuan was surprised: "Do you have something else to do?"
"Tomorrow there’s a variety show recording arranged by the crew." Sheng Tang replied, "It’s a guest segment, hard to reschedule for later filming. Ai’ai and I plan to take the twelve o’clock flight..."
"That’s too late, you won’t get enough rest and you have an entire day ahead tomorrow." Gu Jiahui said, "Have your assistant cancel the flight, I’ll have my secretary book an eight o’clock one for you."
Sheng Tang said there’s no need.
She should spend more time with him.
"Yang Mingming said she’d come to see me around seven in the evening; Fu Qingcen is also on his way back and should arrive by ten tonight. If you don’t mind the hustle, you can stay." Gu Jiahui’s tone was casual.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Cheng Lichuan glared at him: "What kind of nonsense are you talking?"
"You should leave too, you’re so annoying here." Gu Jiahui said.
He always bickered with Cheng Lichuan, his personality wasn’t that gentle.
Sheng Tang chuckled.
"Then I’ll spend the afternoon with you, have dinner together, and leave with Ai’ai afterwards. Once the reality show is done, I’ll fly back to see you again." She said.
