68: With the hit drama "Palace", Yang Mi is about to take off!

After ending the call with Yang Mi, Chen Le continued to lead the main creative team to familiarize themselves with the local customs and culture.

This was also to avoid delaying filming during the production period due to touching upon local cultural taboos.

They could look up laws, but for humanistic customs and local relationship management, they still needed to go around and understand things personally.

Soon, time flew by.

Yang Mi's new drama, Palace, also began broadcasting.

As soon as the first few episodes aired, it became an instant hit.

Not only did it take the number one spot in viewership ratings on Mango TV, but its popularity online was also extremely high.

Palace had already generated enough hype before it started; now that it was airing, the entire internet was discussing it.

As the female lead of the drama, Yang Mi's level of attention was extraordinary.

In just a few short days, her Social Media Platform account gained 6 million followers.

This increase was terrifyingly immense!

Originally, she only had some fame because of chinese paladin 3, but this drama, Palace, truly made her explode in popularity across the entire web.

When Yang Mi saw her new drama becoming a smash hit and her Social Media Platform followers jumping by six million, she was completely stunned.

This massive surprise left her unable to react for a good while.

Once she came to her senses, she hurriedly pulled out her phone, opened her contacts, bypassed her parents, found Chen Le, and called him.

Chen Le was currently filming. Seeing Yang Mi's call, he directly put down the shoot, let Zhao Sheng take over, and went to answer the phone himself.

“Hello, Mi Mi, what's up?” Chen Le asked as he connected the call.

“Old Chen, my new drama is a hit. I think I'm famous now.” Yang Mi was still immersed in the massive surprise, not having fully recovered yet.

“Your new drama is airing?” Chen Le was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked.

He had been too busy lately to ask Yang Mi when her new drama Palace would be broadcast.

While he had seen this drama in his past life, he didn't remember exactly when it started airing; he only remembered it aired around this time and became a huge hit.

“Yeah, Old Chen, I forgot to tell you before.” Yang Mi nodded, then continued: “Old Chen, you have no idea. My followers on the Social Media Platform have surged by six million in the last few days. My notifications are all red dots; I thought there was something wrong with the platform.”

Yang Mi's voice carried a hint of disbelief. She hadn't expected Palace to be this successful, nor that it would make her so popular as well.

“Haha, isn't that great? Mi Mi, you've become a big star.”

“Old Chen, luckily I listened to you back then and filmed this drama. Although it was a bit hard during that time, I got to know Yaya, Director Yu, and the others, and now it's a huge hit.” Yang Mi's voice trembled slightly; she was excited.

At this moment, Yang Mi was so excited she was almost in tears.

“Mi Mi, your hard work was also very important. I only gave a suggestion at the time; the one who actually made the decision was you,” Chen Le comforted her.

“Do you have a lot of advertising endorsements and variety show offers now?” Chen Le continued to ask with a smile.

“Yes, I originally thought about flying to Thailand to find you in a few days, but now Palace is so popular that these past two days are packed with all sorts of announcements, events, and interviews. I simply can't get away.” Yang Mi's tone held a trace of regret.

“It's okay, Mi Mi. Focus on your career first; everything is fine on my end. When you have some free time, we'll have a good get-together.” Chen Le's voice was full of understanding.

He knew that the current Yang Mi was very busy.

“Mhm, Old Chen, you're so kind.” Hearing Chen Le's words, a smile appeared on Yang Mi's face... Back at Beijing Film Academy, the massive success of Palace naturally couldn't be ignored.

Yang Mi's name had already become a legend in the mouths of the underclassmen.

In less than a year since her graduation, she had exploded in popularity nationwide relying on the two major works, chinese paladin 3 and Palace.

In the girls' dormitory at Beijing Film Academy, Naza's roommates were discussing Yang Mi.

“Did you guys know? Yang Mi's new drama Palace is a huge hit.”

“Nonsense, of course I know! I've been watching it lately; Yang Mi's acting is so good!”

“She's even our senior, just a few years older than us, in the same year as Senior Chen Le.”

“I didn't expect our school to produce not only a Senior Chen Le these past few years but also a Senior Yang Mi.”

“I'm so envious. If only I could be like Yang Mi in the future.”

“Sigh, let's not even think about it. Do you guys think Naza might be as famous as Yang Mi in the future?”

When mentioning Naza, the girls suddenly perked up.

Because Naza was already out filming, while the rest of them were still at school.

Furthermore, the viewership ratings for the TV drama Naza filmed were quite good, giving Naza a small wave of popularity.

“Naza? It's probably unlikely, right? After all, she's only filmed one show, and she wasn't even the female lead.”

“True, Yang Mi has played the female lead in several shows. The gap is too wide.”

...Yang Mi's current popularity on the Beijing Film Academy campus was even higher than Chen Le's was back then.

She had instantly become the idol in the hearts of countless female students. They took Yang Mi as their goal to strive for, thinking they could also become the next Yang Mi.

Walking through the Beijing Film Academy campus, underclassmen discussing Yang Mi could be seen everywhere.

Meanwhile, in Thailand, Zhao Sheng had already arranged all the affairs.

Over these past few days, he had been busy running around looking for filming locations and local Extras; finally, everything was ready.

Today, the first scene in Thailand was about to begin filming.

To celebrate the smooth start of filming, Chen Le bought a roll of firecrackers and set them off at the entrance of the Film Crew.

“OK, all actors in position!” Chen Le shouted toward the cast through a megaphone.

The main actors, Zhang Songwen, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo, were all ready.

“Alright, I won't waste any more words.”

“lost on journey: lost in thailand, Thailand Scene One, Take One!”

“Action!”

The scenes chosen for filming this time were several iconic moments from lost in thailand. Chen Le had already told Zhang Songwen and the others how to act them out beforehand.

And having filmed for so many days, they also knew roughly how to perform.

Chen Le looked at the monitor. Currently, Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Songwen were in an elevator.

In the elevator, Wang Baoqiang looked at Zhang Songwen with a grin and asked: “Say, is this person a ladyboy?”

Hearing his words, Zhang Songwen said without changing his expression: “I'm telling you, every beautiful woman you see in Thailand is a ladyboy.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baoqiang immediately smiled and said: “Do you dare to bet?”

“What's there to be afraid of? Do you dare to ask?” Zhang Songwen's tone was indifferent, then he glanced at the beautiful woman in front and looked back at him to ask.

“I dare!”

“Then ask!”

At that moment, the elevator opened.

Wang Baoqiang gave a greeting, “Hello!”

The beautiful woman walked out of the elevator, pulled out her phone, and answered a call.

“Hello, I'm in the elevator. There are two idiots in the elevator.”
