Chapter 96
After the interview concluded, Tang Sa and her team packed up their equipment, preparing to leave.
This interview was quite a unique experience for Tang Sa.
She had interviewed many celebrities before—some eager to establish their public image, some desperate to showcase themselves, and others striving to generate popularity and trending topics.
But Yao Bianliang was the first who not only refused to establish a public persona or create talking points, but actively worked to remove labels from herself.
From the beginning of the interview to its conclusion, Yao Bianliang firmly rejected attaching labels to herself.
Ё n u mа̂ . і́d
Descriptions such as "indifferent to fame," "dedicated to her profession," "having a discerning eye," and so on—she rejected them all.
At first, Tang Sa thought Yao Bianliang was being modest, but upon further reflection, was it merely modesty?

Recalling what Yao Bianliang said at the beginning of the interview, she stated that her purpose for accepting the interview was to help people understand the real her.
—Perhaps Yao Bianliang herself was strongly averse to "labeling artists" and "establishing public personas," which was why she chose to accept the interview, hoping to remove the stereotypical impressions the public had of her.
The more Tang Sa pondered, the more startled she became, developing even greater admiration for Yao Bianliang.
Yao Bianliang looked over, her eyes revealing doubt about Tang Sa's comprehension level: "Ms. Tang, you should understand what I mean, right?"
W è b̈ n ȯ v_е̊ l Ĕń u m̄ä
She had the persistent feeling that Tang Sa had mentally added something beyond her expectations.
"I hope everyone can understand the real me," Yao Bianliang said. "This isn't modesty—I'm serious."
Listening to Yao Bianliang's words, understanding dawned in Tang Sa's eyes.
She had guessed correctly! Teacher Yao was doing this to tear off the labels attached to her.

In an entertainment industry obsessed with creating personas and generating buzz, this was an incredibly rare thing.
"All right, I understand. Teacher Yao, please rest assured, I'll write a good interview article," Tang Sa nodded firmly.
Ë n̂ u m̂ а́ . і̀ d
Seeing that Tang Sa's tone and expression differed from before, Yao Bianliang finally let out a slow sigh of relief.
It seemed that Tang Sa had understood her meaning.
"By the way, Teacher Yao, before leaving, I have one more question I'd like to ask you," Tang Sa hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't suppress her curiosity. "Would you mind sharing what wishes or expectations you have for the future?"
Yao Bianliang was slightly taken aback.
Expectations for the future? Of course, it was to leave the industry and fade into obscurity!
She was currently counting on The Tianya Decree to flop, so that her task of fading into obscurity would be successfully completed.

However, she certainly couldn't directly tell the reporter that she had always been looking forward to fading away.
Even if the system allowed her to say so, no one would believe it anyway.
Yao Bianliang couldn't help but recall a question she had thought of a few days ago—
If one day the general environment of the entertainment industry were to change, and celebrities all began to act seriously, wouldn't it become easier for her to fade into obscurity?
Only then would the spotlight focused on her shift away, allowing her to blend in with everyone else!
Roughly speaking, this would be equivalent to completing her task objective.
Ěnu mа̊ .ї d
With this in mind, Yao Bianliang pondered for a moment and said: "My expectation for the future is actually very simple..."
Tang Sa and her companions behind her all looked over, curiosity in their eyes.

Someone like Yao Bianliang should have very clear plans and goals for the future, right?
Yao Bianliang: "I don't have many expectations for myself. If I must express a hope, it would probably be... I hope there will be more stars in the entertainment industry who are more excellent than I am."
In the current entertainment industry, there wasn't a single worthy opponent.
Yao Bianliang sincerely hoped that someday in the future, the entertainment industry would produce a large batch of actors with good acting skills and real strength.
Ẁ еbnо vе́l Е̃.ňu m̌ ã
If everyone were intensely competing, all working hard together, wouldn't they collectively surpass her?
With such a beautiful idea in mind, Yao Bianliang's eyes were filled with genuine expectation as she spoke.
Tang Sa stared at Yao Bianliang's expression in astonishment. The other's demeanor was so sincere, without any hint of pretense.
Of course, they weren't in front of cameras now, so Yao Bianliang had no reason to act. These words were clearly from her heart.

Tang Sa never expected that Yao Bianliang's hope for the future would not be about herself. In fact, this hope had no benefit for her personally at all.
—Yao Bianliang actually hoped for more excellent celebrities in the entertainment industry!
Е nů m̆ ȧ
She hoped the domestic entertainment industry would improve, that the entire industry's atmosphere would change for the better.
Even though this might mean she could be eliminated by the continuous influx of competitors, she still maintained such hope.
This was probably... what they call "a heart that embraces the world"?
Tang Sa's thoughts churned. She had originally thought she understood Yao Bianliang's thinking, but now it seemed she still couldn't reach the other's intellectual heights.
Perhaps the content of this interview article would require deeper research and further careful consideration.
With this in mind, Tang Sa and her companions left the studio.

The observation elevator descended quietly. In the silent elevator, a small TV screen was broadcasting a new advertisement.
[Kela Dairy, bringing you a different experience]
The video showed creamy white milk, blended with the fresh scent of herbs and plants, making one feel the rich flavor of milk even through the screen.
Tang Sa paused slightly, her gaze sweeping toward the advertisement screen, thoughtful.
"Is this... a product endorsed by Teacher Yao?"
Kela Dairy, a small manufacturer she had never heard of before.
Eňu m̂ а
"Hasn't Teacher Yao always refused to film advertisements? Yet she's now endorsing brands," her companion also expressed great surprise.
Not only was Yao Bianliang endorsing it, but she was endorsing such a small brand.

Tang Sa didn't speak, only silently noting the name "Kela Dairy" in her mind.
"This seems to be another angle worth exploring deeply," she thought.
She didn't have an in-depth understanding of Teacher Yao's thinking, so she could approach the interview from other aspects, comprehensively understanding Yao Bianliang as a person.
In this way, perhaps this could become a well-rounded interview article in all aspects!

On this Friday, "The Tianya Decree" finally launched across all platforms.
As a drama following commercial formulas, The Tianya Decree had a luxurious cast, eye-catching content, and widespread promotion.
Therefore, regardless of whether the public had high expectations for this drama, both popularity and traffic were inevitable.

[Ah, it's finally airing! The period wuxia drama I've been eagerly waiting for.]
[I became a fan after seeing the beautiful behind-the-scenes footage. Hope the actual show doesn't disappoint.]
Еń ǔm̂ á
[The plot really attracts me, but why only three episodes on the first day... Learn from others who update eight episodes a day!]
[Hmph, another trashy drama with traffic stars. Just wait for it to flop.]
[The Tianya Decree's main cast includes Ling Huanxuan, Wen Xuan, Xia Hong, Hu Qingnian... Laughable, are they trying to gather all the worst actors?]
Comments and danmaku quickly scrolled by, densely packed and overwhelming.
Most supporters were fans of the various lead actors, along with some passersby attracted by the plot and visuals.
However, more people didn't immediately click to watch; they planned to wait and see, deciding whether to become invested based on subsequent reviews.

Feng Shiyuan, however, chose not to wait and see.
As Yao Bianliang's loyal supporter and an entertainment commentary content creator, he had stationed himself early at his computer, planning to follow the drama as soon as it aired.
The opening theme played, featuring stirring jianghu martial arts music, paired with handsome and beautiful fighting scenes, forming a captivating highlight reel.
However, as the main story progressed, Feng Shiyuan slightly furrowed his brow.
"This storyline... it really seems to follow the typical commercial drama formula?"
At the beginning of the plot, the female protagonist's family is framed by enemies and betrayed by relatives and friends, ultimately leading to everyone's tragic death, with only the heroine escaping by jumping off a cliff.
W е b̃nо̃v̌ ê l̆ Еn u̇ m̈а̊
In the valley, the female protagonist is rescued by a mysterious senior female cultivator. This senior raises her and teaches her martial arts.
Just like thousands of other wish-fulfillment stories, the female protagonist, harboring a deep blood feud, begins practicing martial arts day and night.

By the third episode, the elderly senior suddenly passes away. The female protagonist buries her master and returns to the martial arts world, armed with the unparalleled martial skills her mentor taught her.
She returns triumphantly, ready to embark on her path of revenge.
"This plot seems completely unoriginal," Feng Shiyuan thought after watching all three episodes, feeling empty inside and inexplicably disappointed.
It's not that "The Tianya Decree" was poor in quality.
E ṅ úm а̌
As a commercial drama, "The Tianya Decree" had excellent acting, stunning visuals, and top-tier special effects with a blockbuster feel.
Without a doubt, this drama would win the hearts of fans who enjoy wish-fulfillment shows. For most people who come home exhausted after a long day, watching this kind of easily digestible drama to entertain themselves seemed like a decent choice.
But Feng Shiyuan still felt regretful.
He always believed that since this drama was directed by Yao Bianliang, it shouldn't be limited to commercial drama formulas.

What was the point of watching if he could predict the entire plot after just three episodes?
"Did I miss something?" Feng Shiyuan frowned, thinking hard, but couldn't figure it out.
En um̄ а̇
This was only the content of the first three episodes, and those traffic-drawing celebrities had only made brief appearances, not yet officially entering the story.
Feng Shiyuan didn't know whether these actors would drag down the production with their acting skills or cause other problems.
If several important supporting roles delivered questionable performances, then "The Tianya Decree" wouldn't even qualify as a "high-quality commercial drama"!
"Is this drama really going to be just like this?" Feng Shiyuan looked troubled. "Well, there's no rush to make a commentary video. I'll wait and see."
These were only the first three episodes, and the main storyline hadn't even begun.
He could afford to wait a little longer.

The first day's viewership was not ideal.
On the morning of the second day, Yao Bianliang couldn't sleep and got up early.
Opening her phone, she saw only an eight-digit view count.
"The first day's views are only in the tens of millions?" Yao Bianliang was surprised at first, then delighted.
For an ordinary small production, this would be considered quite successful.
E ṅŭḿ ȧ
However, "The Tianya Decree" was a heavily promoted, big-budget historical commercial drama!
This viewership count wasn't considered a satisfactory result.

"Only this many people watching," Yao Bianliang's heart began to race, "perhaps my transformation this time was the right move."
Her previous works had been continuously popular, but perhaps she had been heading in the wrong direction.
Now, by changing her approach from realistic niche dramas to commercial blockbusters, wasn't this her chance to fail?
Yao Bianliang sat up straight with a fish-like leap, unable to suppress the smile forming at the corners of her mouth.
En um̊ а . і̊ d̄
This was truly a perfect start.
"I wonder what kind of reviews the audience will leave."
She tried to contain her joy while opening the comments section.
"The Tianya Decree" had no paid commenters controlling the narrative, so the comment section was completely open to audience feedback, without the typical situation of all top comments being positive.

Yao Bianliang scanned through quickly and saw quite a few four-star, and even three-star reviews.
[Film Critic 1986, Rating: 4 stars]
Ẃ е ḃ n о v̈ е l̂ Ё n̊ u mа
[I've watched all three episodes, so here's my take.
So far, most of the important supporting characters haven't appeared yet, but you can tell it's a decent quality revenge drama.
The special effects are excellent, the actors' performances are solid, and although the plot is formulaic, it's not boring—a good show to watch while eating.]
[Film Critic 2333, Rating: 3 stars]
[The plot is extremely formulaic! The kind where you can guess the ending just from watching the beginning!
LOL, screenwriter Ling Huanxuan is consistently delivering her trademark melodramatic Mary Sue formula. Don't set your expectations too high for this drama.

Three stars are for the actors and special effects—in these aspects, the production team certainly put in the effort.]
[Film Critic 19773, Rating: 5 stars]
[The female lead is perfectly idealized and strong, the plot flows well, my expectations are maxed out! The only issue is too few updates—only three episodes on the first day? Who do they think they're dealing with?]
[Film Critic 9667, Rating: 2 stars]
[Just another money-grabbing trash drama. Isn't this a decade-old formula? Bringing it out now to make a TV series seems ridiculous.]
[Film Critic 5734, Rating: 3 stars]
Е̄ n̆ ũm а. і_d
[The main storyline hasn't officially unfolded yet. Currently, it feels like a remake of "The Tale of An Hua," just with better acting and visual quality.]
Yao Bianliang hadn't seen so many ratings below five stars in a long time.

Her previous dramas had consistently received five-star ratings across the board. Negative reviews were extremely rare, practically non-existent.
Now, however, she only needed to browse through the comments briefly to find plenty of negative feedback.
This was even with fans of Wen Xuan, Xia Hong, and other celebrities giving five-star reviews.
If the fan reviews were removed, the real situation would likely be even worse.
Ёn̆ ü m а
"It seems... everything is developing very smoothly," Yao Bianliang's face lit up with joy.
As expected of the screenwriter she had chosen—Ling Huanxuan truly possessed abilities beyond ordinary people.
This mission was finally showing some promise!
