"And mine too! I’ve always looked after Zhijing, quickly serve me a bowl as well," Shi Feinan said, refusing to be left behind. This demeanor had completely overturned everyone’s usual perception of him.
Anyway, he couldn’t care less about his image right now because it smelled so good he couldn’t resist it any longer. Fortunately, he was smart enough not to eat too much earlier; otherwise, where would he find room for such a delicacy?
Yu Zhijing is truly lucky, why doesn’t he have fans with such culinary skills?
"Also, thanks to Emperor Shi for taking care of my Zhijing. Here’s my business card. Usually, an appointment is necessary, but if Emperor Shi visits, he’ll naturally be given special treatment."
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Director Jiang hurriedly added, "Give me one too."
At any rate, he was completely captivated by the taste. How would he manage if he couldn’t eat such delicacies in the future? His inspiration for filming would be gone.
Meanwhile, although the rest of the crew couldn’t taste the Buddha Jumping Wall, they were quite satisfied with the other pastries Ye Qiu had brought because they were indeed too delicious.
So, they couldn’t help but thank Yu Zhijing, since after all, they were enjoying it thanks to her.
To be honest, when they initially heard the lead actress was Yu Zhijing, the crew was somewhat opposed, given the hefty investment and their year-long arduous commitment to the project. If the show flopped due to Yu Zhijing, that would be truly disheartening.
However, after Yu Zhijing joined the crew, they realized they had worried too much. Not only did Yu Zhijing not hold back the crew, but she also interpreted the role of Yang Xi very well. Whether it was action scenes or water scenes, she sought realism and did them herself, never complaining.
The emotional depth was vivid too, as even those accustomed to filming could feel the character’s transition—from innocence to the initial confusion in the Immortal World, gradually growing into resoluteness and decisiveness.
Yu Zhijing was not just some spoilt, young star offspring. Whenever shooting, she never arrived late, nor did she act like a diva. During breaks, she’d either carefully observe other scenes or practice entrance exam questions—something even experienced adults found challenging.
How could anyone not like such an artist filled with positive energy?
Now, with everyone able to enjoy such delicious pastries through her, their perception of Zhijing improved further. They were even impatiently waiting to rub the faces of doubters once the show aired.
Who said Yu Zhijing wasn’t fit for the role? None of the crew agreed with that statement. We must commend Mr. Duan for having the vision. No wonder he runs the company—his judgment is sharp, and he acts decisively!
Ye Qiu’s creations received unanimous praise, and following this event, her restaurant suddenly became popular in the entertainment circle. Actors would often choose to visit her restaurant for a meal after filming. Even if she’s unavailable, savoring other chefs’ dishes there was satisfying.
However, Shi Feinan always suspected whether this restaurant was connected to Duan Yunquan, given that both names were so similar, called "Four Siblings," and that day Duan Yunquan seemed exceptionally familiar with the owner, Ye Qiu. This question only cleared up after Yu Zhijing had a falling out with her parents and management company.
After the first time, Ye Qiu skillfully visited the set a few more times until the crew went on location to shoot.
Perhaps it was the effect of the food, but Yu Zhijing, who always had great rapport, became increasingly well-acquainted in the crew. Even veteran actors, usually not inclined to teach others, would personally guide her. This was a chance not easily granted to others.
Yu Zhijing already had decent acting skills, which now reached a new level. Both Director Jiang and Emperor Shi Feinan bluntly stated that if the "Ascension" series aired, Yu Zhijing would firmly cement her place as a top-tier artist. Winning a Best Lead Actress award wouldn’t be out of reach.
A year passed, and just as people were about to forget about the series, the crew embarked on a nationwide promotion and had already scheduled the TV channel for airing.
When everyone thought it’d air on a random provincial channel, the national channel announced its preview, not to mention, it would be prime-time broadcast.
"Is it really the national channel? Am I seeing it right?" a surprised viewer asked.
"Confirmed, it’s indeed the national channel, and it’s during summer prime time. Is this show really that impressive?"
"I didn’t expect the national channel would air an Immortal World series! My worldview has changed!"
"I’m curious about what attracted the national channel to this series?"
"Feeling inexplicably excited!"
"Is this the prelude to feeling amazed?"
"Stop commenting, everyone, go watch the preview! Director Jiang, having studied photography, ensured the costumes and scene were impeccable. It brought tears to my eyes."
"It truly made me cry from its beauty, but what surprised me more was Yu Zhijing’s acting. Judging by the preview, her performance was sensational."
"Indeed an unexpected delight—I’m eager to watch it."
"Still cautiously optimistic, as some dramas have enticingly edited previews but disappointing episodes. However, if the national channel is broadcasting it at prime time, it can’t be that bad, can it?"
On July 10th, promptly after the national channel’s evening news broadcast, "Ascension" aired its first episode, with viewers long awaiting its start.
"Why are you watching the national channel with us today?" Mrs. Li asked her daughter curiously.
Because her little aunt’s new drama was airing today!
Of course, she couldn’t say this to her parents, as she knew they weren’t aware that her boyfriend Ye Cheng had such a big-shot celebrity sister. She feared it might scare them if she told them.
"Today, the TV adaptation of a novel I like is airing. I want to see how it’s filmed," she casually made up another excuse and watched the TV intently without blinking, only slipping away when the opening song distracted her parents.
Then, as a distant flute sounded, she became engrossed. The opening song was just a piece of pure music, and the shots showed only captivating scenery from the Immortal World, without indicating the storyline. Yet even this managed to capture the audience’s attention.
"It’s quite well-filmed." Mr. Lai, not fond of speaking, made a rare comment, reflecting the show’s success.
After introducing the main crew members, scenes followed where Yu Zhijing played the lead role of Yang Xi, joking around with her maid, conveying a perfectly pampered daughter image with a youthful and genuine smile.
Yet that innocent smile lasted less than an episode; the pacing was unexpectedly quick and gripping. By the closing song, Lee Shishi thought of taking a sip of water.
"Couldn’t have expected the young actress to improve even more," Mrs. Li commented sincerely.
"Mom, do you know her?" Lee Shishi asked in surprise.
Mrs. Li thought Shishi was overreacting: "Who wouldn’t know Yu Zhijing? The Fruit Channel often airs her drama series. Didn’t you watch them frequently in the past?"
Lee Shishi chuckled awkwardly, wondering what her mom would think if she found out one day that her little aunt was actually the major celebrity Yu Zhijing.
