They had initially thought that this incident was just another publicity stunt. However, later on, insiders revealed that on that yacht there were also scions from Ling Consortium, Leng Group, and the Qin enterprise. They were all friends of Yu Zexiao and likewise suffered from the accident. The yacht belonging to Ling Yichuan was later taken directly to the shipyard for repairs.
No one was foolish enough to implicate Ling Yichuan, Leng Yunlin, and Qin Xian in the accident. Any one of them belonged to a very powerful and influential family in Huaxia Country. If one were to spread rumors carelessly, they would certainly incur the resentment of these individuals.
So, the incident with "Rock Youth" at sea was real?
These private speculations were generally of no concern to the public. All they knew was that "Rock Youth" had once again become a hot topic in the news, with countless media outlets vying to report on it. Riding on this east wind, the episode broadcasted this week once again became the focal point of attention. The viewership soared impressively, utterly dominating the national ratings!
Amidst this surge of momentum, suddenly one day, word spread from the production team that Huasi Film and Television, the investor from the United States, in celebration of the drama’s success, and also signifying Huasi Film and Television’s formal decision to enter the film industry in Huaxia Country, was organizing a banquet! They invited social celebrities as well as members of the production team to attend!
And the banquet was scheduled for Sunday evening!
The set was as busy as ever. The public’s attention to "Rock Youth" had reached its pinnacle! Of course, this was also thanks to the top-notch scriptwriters, photographers, and the costume and art teams, with strong visual effects, vivid colors, and good-looking actors—both men and women—which at least in terms of visual appeal, were enough to captivate many viewers.
As for acting—Yu Zexiao might have been a newcomer, but he was quite talented. Together with the stimulation from Lu Jiayuan, he strove for improvement, and his acting skills were honed considerably after several episodes. Jiang Xuanqi, after all, had been struggling in TV dramas for five years, and although she was nothing more than a talentless vase, acting in this kind of idol drama didn’t require much skill, so she was under no pressure. As for Lu Jiayuan and the other production team members, needless to say, they were naturally even less concerned.
In the beginning, what attracted viewers might have been the dazzling colors, exquisite packaging, and attractive actors, but after this stage, it all came down to the script and acting skills. Fortunately, "Rock Youth" excelled in both aspects.
"Cut!" Director Li called cut, and the scene was finally wrapped up.
Although it was still early, since today’s filming tasks had been completed, he smiled generously and said, "That’s it for today, everyone. Tidy up well. Tonight, everyone has to dress up nicely and show up!"
The group immediately broke into giggles. There was no need for the director to remind them, as everyone would make sure to look their best. Not only because they were all part of the entertainment industry, where appearances matter most, but also because besides their production crew, the banquet had also invited some star celebrities and socialites.
Not to mention others, just the opportunity to meet some wealthy individuals would be worthwhile for them! Networking is key in the film and entertainment industry, it’s how one can expand one’s horizons.
