Although "Yu Guang" is a typical urban romance drama, the creative team is excellent, and the script was written by Luo Pianran, a well-known screenwriter in the industry. It tells the story of two girls with completely different lives.
The first female lead is a fallen heiress, while the second female lead is a fastidious germaphobe.
Almost all the storylines revolve around the female lead, while the third female lead is the most important part of the female lead's storyline—a villain who is all bark and no bite.
Bai Weiwei fell in love with the character as soon as she read the script. If she could play the role well, it would be a turning point in Chen Liuying's career.
Chen Liuying is also the strongest contender for this role.
Despite the casting call being open to the entire society, Chen Liuying's acting skills, popularity, and appearance gave her an absolute advantage among the many competitors.
In order to land the role, she even sent Chen Liuying to the best acting teacher at the film academy for practice.
All for the sake of having the most outstanding performance at the audition that day.
Chen Liuying's acting skills have made a qualitative leap in a short period of time.
Bai Weiwei also subtly inquired with the producer of the drama, who said that the investors had not yet put anyone in the running for the third female lead role, and the director did not have a suitable candidate in mind. As long as Chen Liuying did not make any mistakes, she was sure to pass the role.
After all, it generates traffic.
Which drama would refuse to cast a popular actor in a supporting role?
Therefore, Bai Weiwei was very confident.
Unexpectedly, he met Liang Shi on the day of the audition.
Chen Liuying and Liang Shi were vying for the same role, but in her heart, she still favored Chen Liuying.
After all, someone who has never acted before might stand out in a performance by relying on their compatibility with the character.
But it's impossible to directly challenge such a powerful character.
It's important to understand that even if Zhao Ying were to play this role, she wouldn't be able to portray its multiple twists and turns so vividly and deeply.
But Bai Weiwei was shocked after watching Liang Shi's audition that day.
It turns out that talent can easily crush hard work.
She later inquired with the producer of "Yu Guang," but the producer gave her evasive answers, and she ultimately failed to secure the role.
Today is the day the official character photos for the movie "Yu Guang" were released, and the movie is trending on social media one after another.
These trending topics also included entries about Minghui Jewelry's autumn new product launches.
Minghui Jewelry's autumn new collection is a real eye-catcher and has received rave reviews.
Bai Weiwei read through all the trending topics again and again. After unlocking her phone, she was surprised to find the video she had recorded that day.
In the mall's restroom, she pushed Chen Liuying against the wall twice.
Chen Liuying kept smiling, while Xu Qingzhu frowned slightly, her eyes showing disgust.
They were speaking very softly, and with the sound of running water in the bathroom and the overlapping footsteps outside, it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
But the video alone is enough to prove something.
The media excels at nothing more than two things: making things up and fabricating stories from pictures.
Bai Weiwei was well-versed in this matter.
Every celebrity studio maintains a group of marketing accounts; this is basically an unspoken rule in the industry.
Chen Liuying's studio is backed by Jingyi Culture. As the most promising artist in Jingyi Culture, apart from the company's top female artist Luo Fei, Chen Liuying has the best treatment.
Bai Weiwei's character design for Chen Liuying suited her very well, and she did indeed gain a group of loyal fans in the early stages.
Even after the Huayue International incident was exposed and the golden period for public relations was missed, after Bai Weiwei was discharged from the hospital, she directly arranged for Chen Liuying to be injured, which was both a way to garner and retain fans. As a result, Chen Liuying's popularity did not decrease but increased.
Chen Liuying is currently in the rising phase of her career, and the exposure of this video will definitely have some impact on her professional life.
But Bai Weiwei is used to playing the trick of manipulating and retaining fans, so she will post on Weibo to indirectly say that Chen Liuying has had a headache for several days.
Once enough buzz is generated, the media will thoroughly smear Minghui Jewelry, at which point Chen Liuying will issue a Weibo post to explain.
Everything could be explained in an ambiguous way, because her inappropriate remarks angered the daughter of Minghui Jewelry.
Based on netizens' resentment towards the wealthy, Xu Qingzhu will surely bring ruin to her Minghui Jewelry business.
Who told her to bully others by abusing her power?
Who told her to hit someone?
Does being a rich heiress mean you can act with impunity?
That's definitely not going to work.
Led by Chen Liuying's die-hard fans, Minghui Jewelry will cool down very quickly.
For Chen Liuying, playing the victim card can actually gain her a lot of fans.
Chen Liuying's face is her most powerful weapon; as long as she trends on social media, she's bound to gain more followers.
Several high-end luxury brands have already contacted us, and after this, we should be able to secure half of them.
Brands are never afraid of you having negative trending topics; what they're afraid of is you not having any trending topics at all.
Bai Weiwei was still struggling with her feelings, after all, she and Xu Qingzhu had been so close.
When they were in college, they ate together, attended classes together, helped each other bring food, and saved seats for each other.
Those happy school days seem so vivid in my mind, but now...
She clicked on the trending searches related to Minghui Jewelry, and the entries were associated with designer Cherry Lin and Sally.
The top comment below consists of two photos.
All of them are group photos of the three of them.
The people in the first photo look a bit young, but they are all smiling happily.
Xu Qingzhu stood at the front, with Sally and Cherry behind her. The two of them even raised their arms and made a heart shape with their hands.
Behind them was a clear blue sky and verdant mountains.
The second photo is much clearer; it's a recent photo.
In a coffee shop, the three of them leisurely and comfortably drank coffee, their faces full of smiles.
The caption accompanying the photo reads: "The Sheng family certainly didn't disappoint! A top graduate of Qingyi University, a classmate of renowned domestic designer Lin Luoxi, parachuted into the company before the autumn product launch, directly poaching his old classmate to support the event. Nothing more to say, Minghui is just being overly optimistic!"
As a popular Weibo post, it has nearly 10,000 comments.
[It's a feast for the eyes to see all these beautiful women together.]
[Is this really not a socialite gathering? It's the kind of place that makes your heart flutter just by looking at it.]
[I would call the second photo—afternoon tea for socialites.]
[Am I the only one who's noticed this? Are outstanding people's friends also outstanding?]
[The comment above is spot on; I'm so emotional.]
[...]
Friends...
She wasn't among her friends.
Bai Weiwei clicked on the second photo. Sunlight streamed through the clean French windows, illuminating them and creating a pleasant and beautiful scene.
In contrast, there was a cactus on her desk.
It was given to me by Xu Qingzhu two years ago.
Bai Weiwei closed her eyes, opened a social media app on another computer, and directly contacted a well-known marketing account in the industry: 【Send some scoop.】
The marketing accounts and active accounts that the studio maintained immediately came in handy.

When the hashtag #Minghui's daughter assaulted someone# climbed to number ten, it was right next to the hashtag #Minghui's jewelry autumn new products are really beautiful#.
Inside the Minghui Jewelry office building.
“Now you can finally get a good night’s sleep,” Sally said with a smile in the office. “Blanche, you can finally relax.”
“This is just the beginning.” Although Xu Qingzhu was happy, she remained rational. “There are also the Twenty-Four Solar Terms series, the Chinese style series, and the new spring products next year that we plan to release. It’s too early to be happy now.”
Sally was exasperated. "My God, Blanche, who are you trying to kill?"
Xu Qingzhu smiled and said, "I'll give you a holiday, okay?"
Sally was satisfied. "That's more like it."
"Taking a vacation is like being a lost soul," Lin Luoxi said coldly from the side. "What's the point of taking this vacation?"
"A wandering spirit?" Sally asked in her broken Chinese, "What does that mean?"
"It means doing nothing, just loafing around, being a good-for-nothing who does nothing at all," Lin Luoxi gave her a rather difficult explanation.
Sally was even more confused.
Xu Qingzhu did not participate in their conflict; she was used to keeping her presence to a minimum during such times.
The computer screen displays Minghui Jewelry's official website, showing that sales are steadily increasing.
The sales figures for offline shopping malls can also be viewed in real time on another webpage's statistics chart.
This time, the product reviews were exceptionally good, including trending on Weibo. They only bought one item, and the other two were all organically generated by word-of-mouth.
They turned the tide spectacularly.
Xu Qingzhu's recent worries and fears have finally eased somewhat. With the support of the new autumn products, Minghui's turnaround will be smoother.
The two people in the office were still bickering.
Her phone, which was on the table, vibrated slightly. She opened it and saw a message from Liang Shi. Before she could even read the message, Liang Shi called her.
