Entertainment from Divorce

As night deepened, the winter chill in Beijing remained biting. A biting wind, carrying a fine chill, lashed against the glass curtain wall of the Brilliant Entertainment headquarters building, making a soft sound.

Inside the building, most of the office lights were off, with only a few windows still glowing faintly, like stars in the night, holding on to their last moments of busy work.

Zhuang Bailin sat at her desk, her fingertips tapping on the keyboard. On the computer screen in front of her, the core group chat interface of Tan Yue's fan club was displayed. The dim light from the screen reflected on her face, her expression gentle and focused.

Zhuang Bailin is an employee of the artist management department at Brilliant Entertainment. She is responsible for coordinating and coordinating the fan support group for Tan Yue. She is meticulous, hardworking, and conscientious, which has earned her the recognition of her colleagues and the trust of Tan Yue himself.

Her identity was not entirely a secret within the company, but it was known only to a few core colleagues.

To the outside world, she remains "Sister Bai Lin," the one who coordinates support teams across various regions.

She has never revealed to ordinary fans that she has joined Brilliant Entertainment and is specifically in charge of fan club work.

Firstly, it's to avoid fans focusing too much on her personal work and affecting the normal progress of her fan club's affairs.

Secondly, we also want to manage the fan club's affairs from a more neutral and fan-friendly perspective, better convey the fans' sentiments, and provide timely feedback on Tan Yue and the company's relevant developments.

On weekdays, her job involves coordinating with fan clubs in various regions, planning fan activities, collecting fan questions and sentiments, and relaying reasonable requests from fans to the company and Tan Yue.

However, she remained tight-lipped about Tan Yue's private information and the company's undisclosed plans, only able to cautiously respond to fans' questions.

Tonight, she worked overtime for a while, compiling activity summaries and lists of fan requests submitted by support groups from various regions.

This is one of her daily tasks.

Then, as was his habit, he opened the core group of the fan club.

This group is filled with more than 30 fan club leaders from all over the country. Each of them, like Zhuang Bailin, is a loyal fan of Tan Yue and is doing their best to manage the affairs of their respective fan clubs.

On weekdays, everyone exchanges ideas for fan activities and shares updates about Tan Yue in the group chat. They also consult Zhuang Bailin about coordinating fan club affairs, and the atmosphere is always very harmonious.

But today, the atmosphere in the group was a little different. The usual lively chatter was gone, replaced by a sense of urgency and anticipation.

As soon as Zhuang Bailin opened the group chat, she saw a series of messages pop up. The messages were scrolling by very quickly, and most of them were inquiries about the latest developments of Tan Yue's new movie. The messages were full of anxiety and curiosity.

"Sister Bai Lin, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask, what's wrong with Teacher Tan Yue lately? I haven't heard anything about him filming a new movie in a long time, I'm getting really worried."

This is the head of the support group from the Jiangnan region. His tone is urgent, followed by several anxious emojis.

As soon as the message was released, many people echoed it.

"Yes, yes, Sister Bai Lin, I also want to ask this question."

“Teacher Tan Yue used to have a new movie released almost every year, sometimes even two a year. But it’s been almost a year now, and there’s been no news about a new movie. We are all very worried, afraid that something might happen to him, and also afraid that he will stop making movies.”

"Me too. I refresh Tan Yue's social media account and Brilliant Entertainment's official account every day, but there is still no news about the new movie."

"Many fans around me have asked me this, and I don't know how to answer it. I can only tell them to wait a little longer, but I'm not sure myself."

“In the past, by this time, he would have already officially announced the preparation of his new movie, and sometimes even started filming. But now, there is not a word of it. It’s too abnormal.”

"Could it be that Teacher Tan Yue has encountered some difficulties?"

"Or is he adjusting his mindset and no longer wants to make movies? No, I really can't accept that Teacher Tan Yue is not making movies. I have watched every one of his works many times. Every one of them is particularly wonderful and can bring me different emotions."

Looking at the string of messages in the group, Zhuang Bailin felt a warmth rise in her heart.

She knew better than anyone that the fans' eagerness and anticipation stemmed from their love and trust in Tan Yue.

As someone who was specifically in charge of the fan club's affairs and knew some of the inside story, she felt both gratified and somewhat helpless at this moment.

She took a deep breath, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she began replying to her fans' questions. Her tone was gentle yet firm, reassuring everyone without revealing any inside information.

"Everyone, please don't panic or overthink things."

As soon as Zhuang Bailin sent the message, the flood of messages in the group gradually stopped, and everyone was waiting for her response.

"Teacher Tan Yue is doing well, has not encountered any difficulties, and has never thought about not making movies."

"He has always had his own work plan, but it's not the right time to make it public yet. Please be patient and wait for the official announcement."

To reassure her fans, she added further.

"I know everyone is looking forward to Tan Yue's new work. After all, he never disappoints us with any of his films. I am just as excited as everyone else."

"But Mr. Tan Yue has always been very rigorous in his work and never does things perfunctorily. He polishes every film repeatedly and strives for perfection. The fact that there is no news now may be because he is quietly preparing to give us a surprise?"

Zhuang Bailin's reply was like a reassuring pill, instantly calming the emotions of most fans in the group.

She naturally knew that the reason Tan Yue hadn't had any news about a new movie for so long wasn't because he was polishing his work or adjusting his mindset, but because of President Chen Ziyu's pregnancy and childbirth.

Some time ago, Chen Ziyu gave birth to her daughter, Xiao Tuanzi. As a husband and father, Tan Yue devoted himself to his family, voluntarily suspending his film shooting plans to focus on accompanying his wife and child. While managing company affairs, he also took all his free time to stay by his family's side.

This is, after all, their private life, and they don't want to be disturbed too much.

Zhuang Bailin was in charge of Tan Yue's fan club work. Tan Yue specifically instructed her that Chen Ziyu's pregnancy and childbirth must be kept strictly confidential and not disclosed to any fans to avoid unnecessary attention and affecting the normal life of her family.

Therefore, even though she knew the truth, she could only keep quiet and couldn't explain anything to her fans. She could only use phrases like "I have work plans" and "I'm preparing for it" to soothe everyone's emotions. She knew that her fans' anxiety stemmed from their love, but their privacy was inviolable. Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu wanted to live a low-key life, so she had to keep her promise and protect this secret.

This is also her responsibility as the head of the fan club and an employee of Brilliant Entertainment. She must not only protect the rights and interests of fans and convey their sentiments, but also respect Tan Yue's private life and protect his family.

The fans in the group gradually relaxed after seeing Zhuang Bailin's reply.

Soon, fans replied in the group.

"Thank you, Sister Bai Lin. I feel relieved to hear that."

"Yes, Teacher Tan Yue has always been very meticulous and never takes his work lightly. He must have been preparing quietly, wanting to surprise us. We should be more patient and not overthink things."

Immediately afterwards, another fan club leader also replied.

"I think so too. Teacher Tan Yue is probably taking time to reflect and mature."

"Think about it, every film he's made before has been a breakthrough for him, from youth themes to realistic themes to suspense themes, and each time he has brought us a different surprise."

"This time, his long silence might be because he's been reflecting on himself, polishing a better script, and making thorough preparations for his next film, hoping to surpass his previous works!"

This statement was immediately echoed by everyone in the group.

"Yes! You're absolutely right! Teacher Tan Yue is definitely taking time to refine himself and polish the script. After all, he always strives for perfection, and he certainly won't make an official announcement until he's done his best."

"That's right, that's right. We should trust Teacher Tan Yue. He never lets us down."

“In the past, he always kept a low profile when preparing each of his films, and would only surprise us when the official announcement was made. This time will definitely be the same.”

"It seems we were too hasty. From now on, let's just wait patiently, stop overthinking, and quietly support Teacher Tan Yue. He will naturally let us know when he's ready."

"Yes, Sister Bai Lin is right. We need to be more patient, trust Teacher Tan Yue, and support every decision he makes. No matter when he releases a new work, we will always support him!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the group gradually return to harmony, and seeing the fans go from anxious to calm, from worried to expectant, a gentle smile appeared on Zhuang Bailin's face.

In fact, fans have been asking about Tan Yue's new movie almost every day recently.
Whether it's the head of the fan club in the core group or ordinary fans in fan clubs across the country, everyone is eagerly anticipating Tan Yue's latest developments.

She receives many private messages from fans every day, asking about the progress of Tan Yue's new movie.
Each time, she could only use the same words to patiently soothe everyone's emotions, telling them again and again to be patient and that Tan Yue had her own plans.

She also wanted to tell her fans the truth so that they wouldn't worry anymore.
But she couldn't; she had to keep her promise and protect Tan Yue's privacy.

All she could do was to soothe the fans' emotions, act as a bridge between the fans and Tan Yue, and between the fans and the company, convey the fans' sentiments, and keep them informed about Tan Yue's current situation so that the fans could feel at ease, and Tan Yue could spend time with his family and prepare for his next project with peace of mind.

Zhuang Bailin chatted with fans in the group for a while, answering some of their other questions. She reminded everyone that any further news would be announced in the group as soon as possible, and asked them not to worry or believe rumors online, but to rely on official information.

Afterwards, she said goodbye to her fans, closed the group chat, and began to organize the remaining work at hand.

She opened a folder on her computer, which contained a list of fan requests submitted by fan clubs from various regions.
A large portion of these requests concerned Tan Yue's new film.

She carefully sorted through these requests, wrote down the fans' expectations one by one, and planned to give them to the head of the management department when she went to work the next day, and then the head of the department would pass them on to Tan Yue.

She knew that Tan Yue had always valued the feelings of his fans.
Although filming has been temporarily suspended due to family reasons, he must be very pleased to know that fans are so eager for his new work, and he will work even harder to prepare for his future film projects.

By the time I finished all the work, it was already past 8 p.m.

Zhuang Bailin turned off her computer, tidied up the documents on her desk, put on her coat, and got up to walk towards the office door.

Stepping out of the brokerage department office, the hallway was quiet, with only the lights in the corridor.

The cold wind outside the window was still biting, blowing in through the corridor window, making her instinctively wrap her coat tighter around herself.

She walked quickly to the elevator, pressed the down button, and thought to herself that her fans would be very happy when Tan Yue officially announced the news of his new movie.
Then, she won't have to be so careful to appease everyone's emotions anymore, and she can look forward to Tan Yue's new works with her fans.

As the elevator slowly descended, Zhuang Bailin leaned against the elevator wall, her mind drifting back to the years she had loved Tan Yue.

From the moment Tan Yue began filming her first movie, she was drawn to this earnest, dedicated, and talented director.

His films are both profound and moving, each one touching the heart and bringing her a different kind of emotion and strength.

Later, Tan Yue stayed true to his original aspirations and worked hard to polish each work. He was neither perfunctory nor impetuous, which made Tan Yue even more admirable.

Being able to become the president of his fan club, to join Brilliant Entertainment and be specifically responsible for his fan club work, and to be able to do things for him and his fans up close, is an incredibly lucky thing for her.

She had already made up her mind to do her job even better, to live up to Tan Yue's trust and the expectations of her fans, and to protect Tan Yue and this passion.

The elevator arrived at the first floor, and Zhuang Bailin stepped out of the elevator and out of the Brilliant Entertainment Headquarters Building.

In the night, the neon lights of Beijing flickered, and the dazzling lights dispelled some of the chill of winter. On the streets, vehicles flowed endlessly, and pedestrians hurried along, everyone busy with their own lives.

Zhuang Bailin stood at the entrance of the building, waiting for a ride-hailing car, the cold wind still blowing on her face.

But her heart was warm and full of anticipation.

We eagerly anticipate Tan Yue's new film, look forward to seeing the fans' joy, and anticipate seeing Tan Yue continue to steadily advance on his beloved film career, shining even brighter. (End of Chapter)
