“You’re talking about that? It’s because I was so engrossed in my phone that I wouldn’t have noticed you, even if you had sat down beside me, had you not spoken just then. You’re not apologizing for that, are you? You didn’t really scare me.”

“No, that’s not it. Mainly, I happened to glance at your phone screen. You were so engrossed that I ended up looking a little longer, but I know that it’s actually quite rude, so I looked away afterward.”

Wenyan raised an eyebrow, “…Actually, had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t even have known.”

“I know, but I felt I should be open with you. Because I saw my name. I have a pretty good idea what’s being discussed online.”

Wenyan looked at him, “Have you checked the trending searches today?”

“I glanced at them when I got up in the morning. Want to talk about it? I actually have quite a bit of experience dealing with these things.”

Wenyan smiled, “You don’t have any scandals now, right?”

Gu Xiran nodded, “Not now, but when I took on my first lead role in a historical fantasy drama as an adult, I did. The show was a smash hit as soon as it was released, and with it came all sorts of criticism and evildoers. I remember that year, my fan base grew the fastest, but it was also the year I was criticized the most. It was similar to your current situation, constantly trending on the hot search every few days. Even a mere gesture at the airport was viciously attacked, claiming I was flipping off fans or security—it’s hard to remember now. Basically, whatever I did, there were people criticizing me for endless reasons. Fortunately, I hadn’t made any major ethical mistakes, so their complaints didn’t affect me much, my foundation was solid. That period lasted for about a year, and eventually, those professional critics quieted down. However, I must admit, the year when the criticism was the fiercest was actually when I was at the peak of my popularity. I think you’re experiencing what I went through back then. Many others in the industry have gone through similar things. Don’t take it too much to heart, just ignore it. Each comment they make only adds to your popularity. From now on, just let your work do the talking, keep bringing out projects, and the audience will remember you.”

“Senior!” Wenyan said, after listening, and immediately gave Gu Xiran a fist bump, “I’ve learned a lot!”

“Not at all, not at all, President Yan is too kind. I’m just sharing some of my humble experiences.”

The two exchanged pleasantries, then started sharing snacks with each other.

It needed to be said, this was far more enjoyable than the times Wenyan had acted with Xun Letian.

Plus, Gu Xiran was a very witty man, his presence made the film set much livelier than before.

However, everyone didn’t have much time to play around since the filming schedule was quite packed.

Especially for Gu Xiran, who had to take leave to attend a charity event that had been planned long ago.

The event was broadcast live.

Everyone, from the celebrities participating in the event to the viewers watching online, focused their attention on the red carpet.

Among the viewers, Shen Jinghe’s fans were in the largest number.

Since the beginning of the broadcast, Shen Jinghe’s fans had been continuously posting his name in the live chat.

Next in size were the fan groups of Gu Xiran.

Shen Jinghe hadn’t trended for quite a while, and Gu Xiran, having recently joined “Chang’an Legend” and been associated with Wenyan, had garnered significant attention from netizens.

Tonight, his presence in the live chat was quite strong.

But most of the celebrities had arrived, and Gu Xiran had yet to show up.

His fans were urging him on in the live chat.

“Where is Ranbao? Could there have been a change in his schedule?”

“How could that be? This schedule was fixed months ago; it definitely won’t change.”

“Then why hasn’t he showed up yet? Since joining the ‘Chang’an Legend’ crew, he hasn’t made a public appearance. Maybe the rumors on the internet are true, and he’s being suppressed by Wenyan and Qin Yulong.”

“Sister, please don’t bring that up now. I think Ranbao might be the grand finale, so that’s why he hasn’t come out yet.”

“Well… I guess you could say that. Obviously, the grand finale this year is Shen Jinghe. Compared to Shen the superstar, Ranbao still has some way to go. Let’s hope he can be the grand finale next year.”

As they were discussing, the host of the live stream suddenly cued to Gu Xiran’s name.

“Coming up next is Mr. Gu Xiran! And beside him, a mysterious female guest!”
