With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Shen Li stayed at the hospital for about an hour before leaving. She thought that by keeping a low profile, she would not be discovered. However, less than two hours later, the news that she went to the hospital to visit the injured extra became a trending topic and immediately jumped to third place on the trending list.

Shen Li was stunned.

"Is that Sister Kuan?"

She looked at Xiaoyun with a puzzled expression and asked, because she had now signed with Sister Kuan, so Xiaoyun would report her daily schedule to Sister Kuan, including her trip to the hospital today, which was also with Sister Kuan's permission.

Xiaoyun shook her head: "No way, Sister Kuan has always disdained using this kind of thing to create hype."

Apan stared at the trending topic for a while and said, "It was probably taken by paparazzi. Look at the angle of the photo; it was clearly taken secretly at the entrance of the ward."

As he spoke, he comforted Shen Li: "It's okay, Li. Hengdian has no shortage of paparazzi. Someone in the crew was injured last night, and it became a trending topic right after midnight. I guess there are a lot of reporters and paparazzi who want to go to the hospital to interview the injured today, but they don't dare to make a scene in the hospital, so they will sneak in. Maybe we were photographed when we were in the ward at that time."

After all, the "Destiny is the Phoenix" drama series has always been very popular, and these media outlets love news with natural popularity.

Apan's words made a lot of sense, and Xiaoyun nodded in agreement: "That should be the case. It's a good thing. It's a positive exposure. There's never been any news like this in the industry before."

To put it bluntly, nobody in the crew cares about an extra; Shen Li is a pioneer in this regard.

The trending comments overwhelmingly praised Shen Li for her beauty and kindness. The few malicious individuals who tried to smear her and claim she was just creating hype were quickly drowned out by the other positive reviews.

Marketing accounts are adept at changing their tune based on public opinion; if they see many positive reviews online, they'll follow suit and praise the same things to drive traffic to their accounts.

However, Shen Li felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at these news articles. She had never thought of using such a thing to expose herself. At this moment, she was trending on social media and receiving a lot of positive reviews, which made her seem like she had ulterior motives.

Shen Li is a very simple person, so her thoughts are easy to guess. Xiao Yun could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"It's okay, Ali. As long as we do things with a clear conscience, that's all that matters." Xiaoyun patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Even if you don't want to be a popular celebrity, just being an actor will still often make you trend on social media because of candid photos. You have to get used to it."

Apan smiled and said, "What others dream of, even with the most meticulously planned marketing campaigns by professional teams, may not achieve such results, but Ali got it so easily. It's truly a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer."

What started as a joke suddenly jolted Shen Li awake, who was caught in a moment of internal strife. She abruptly looked up and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I guess I can't take this too seriously. Otherwise, what if others see this and think I'm getting the better end of the deal while pretending to be innocent? No, no..."

Her reaction made Xiaoyun and Apan laugh. Xiaoyun laughed and said, "You're right. If those artists who crave popularity but can't get it knew that you scoff at it, they would definitely say behind your back that you're being hypocritical. After all, how many people in this industry really don't care about popularity?"

Shen Li belatedly nodded and muttered softly, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Let the media do whatever they want, we'll just do our own thing."

As some people have said, someone is going crazy because of this.

Ren Jia was so angry when she saw the third trending topic, "Shen Li quietly visits the injured extras at the hospital," that her cheeks trembled. Her whole face changed because of anger and jealousy.

She just celebrated her birthday on set yesterday and immediately posted a group photo of the entire crew celebrating with her. She also got some marketing accounts she often collaborates with to help promote it, and the trending topic quickly climbed into the top ten.

In less than a day, Shen Li suddenly appeared at number three on the trending topics list, and related terms quickly disappeared from the top thirty.

Even worse, some people flooded her Weibo account, where she celebrated her birthday on set, to criticize her, saying, "You didn't even care about the extras who were injured and broke their bones on set, all you know is to celebrate your own birthday on set."

What does it have to do with her if someone else gets hurt?

It wasn't her who hurt her.

But that's the reality; once there's a control group, people will use it for comparison.

It's fine if the other actors don't make any moves, but since she's the only one who posted a Weibo celebrating the crew's birthday, she's the only one who gets criticized.

"Sister Jiajia, how about we delete that Weibo post?" Assistant Xiaoya asked cautiously.

Ren Jia turned her head and glared at her angrily, revealing her fierce nature. The rest of the team members nearby fell silent.

"Is this how you control public opinion?" Ren Jia glared fiercely at each member of her team. "What use are you to me?!"

Everyone lowered their heads, eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought, but no one dared to speak. Their master had a bad temper; if they couldn't offer a perfect solution at this moment, it was best to keep quiet and say nothing.

In less than half an hour, another entry related to Shen Li topped the list.

The reason is that someone found Tan Yue's Weibo account, a nobody extra, and discovered the photos he posted of himself with Shen Li's team.

Tan Yue's Weibo account was flooded with comments from netizens, and he even replied to many of them carefully.

These include—

"I had never met Teacher Shen Li before, and we had never met face-to-face on set, nor had we ever spoken a word to each other."

"Teacher Shen Li came unexpectedly today; I didn't expect it myself."

"There was no paparazzi or hype involved; only her two assistants accompanied her."

"Xiao Long, Teacher Song Anyu's assistant, is also here. I am very grateful to Teacher Song Anyu."

Tan Yue's replies really fueled Shen Li's trending topic, further boosting her popularity. Tan Yue himself didn't expect that his first time trending would be number one, especially because of Teacher Shen Li.

The incident went viral online, and Shen Li's heartfelt actions not only gained her a large number of casual fans, but also deeply moved a crucial group of people.

Those are extras!

This group is so large that it is unimaginable to many outsiders, yet it is often overlooked by those within the circle.

At that moment, Shen Li saw them!

Because Tan Yue is a microcosm of millions of extras.

As soon as Shen Li arrived on set in the evening, the extras who were usually too shy to greet the lead actors would happily call her "Teacher Shen Li," and some would even chat with her for a while.

Shen Li didn't resist and was friendly to everyone.

When Ren Jia came to Shen Li's side during preparations, Shen Li had just called out "Sister Ren Jia" when Ren Jia said, seemingly jokingly but actually with a hint of sarcasm, "I saw the trending topic. Congratulations! It's getting rave reviews!"
