-----------------

Filming for "July and Ansheng" quietly began after the controversy surrounding the casting of the male lead.

Filming went smoothly. Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei's acting skills, honed over two lifetimes, are so superb that describing them as "masterful" is not an exaggeration in this youth film.

The daily filming progressed at a rapid pace. Zeng Guoxiang remarked more than once that although the two actors were young, their acting skills were truly remarkable. Their expressive eyes were like those of people who had been immersed in the acting industry for many years.

In the script, the sunny and refreshing Su Jiaming makes both July and An Sheng's hearts flutter, but the indecisive Su Jiaming finds it difficult to choose between the two girls.

In order to let July and Jiaming be together, An Sheng chose to leave his hometown alone and go to the capital to make his way in the world, while July stayed behind and continued to develop her relationship with Jiaming.

Years later, An Sheng and Jia Ming unexpectedly meet in the capital and rekindle their old feelings. Qi Yue senses something is amiss and travels alone north to find the answer, only to uncover the truth behind their lingering connection.

The emotions of the three people collided at that moment, and An Sheng and Qi Yue had the most intense argument in the entire series in the rented room.

This is the scene we're filming today.

The lighting was being set up on set. Li Yitong sat in front of the makeup mirror in the dressing room, with Tian Xiwei standing next to her, holding her phone in her hand, the screen flashing on and off.

The number in her call log didn't have a name saved, but she could recite it even with her eyes closed.

"Are you coming to visit the set?"

The moment the call connected, Tian Xi stubbornly raised her head and delivered the invitation in a stiff tone.

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up.

Li Yitong, looking in the makeup mirror, had already raised her phone and pointed it at Tian Xiwei. Seeing Tian Xiwei's expression, she smiled happily.

"Have you decided to forgive him?"

Tian Xi glanced at the phone that was recording her and reached out to block the camera.

"Didn't you say, Sister Tong, that you should explain this to Song Weilong?"

Li Yitong nodded, moved her phone to the side, but did not stop recording.

"Yes, I do need to explain."

"But..." A mischievous smile crept across her lips, "why did it have to be today? To have him come and watch us argue?"

Tian Xi paused for half a second, then lunged at Li Yitong, knocking the phone out of Li Yitong's hand and onto the dressing table.

She nestled in Li Yitong's arms, her voice muffled, and said, "Actually, I'd rather argue with him!"

"Recently, she's been doing all sorts of interviews promoting 'My Sunshine' with Dilraba, and the internet is full of posts about them. It's so annoying!"

She finished speaking in one breath, her face still buried in Li Yitong's shoulder, refusing to lift it up.

Li Yitong reached for her phone, pressed the stop button on the recording, and then put the phone aside.

She lowered her head, gently stroking the hair at the back of Tian Xiwei's head with her fingers. "You're afraid he'll forget you, aren't you?"

Tian Xiwei paused for a second, then shook her head.

"No way! It's better that he forgot about me! It saves me from agonizing over it."

Li Yitong burst into laughter and slapped her bottom.

"Don't worry! He might forget me, but he could never forget you!"

She paused, her tone softening from playful to gentle, "He's just been busy lately and hasn't had time to bother you."

Tian Xiwei suddenly raised her head, pouting as she looked at Li Yitong, her face still flushed from being cooped up in her arms.

"Who asked him to harass me? You're in my hands, it's enough that I harass you!"

Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't hold back and lunged forward, knocking Li Yitong and her chair backward.

The filming location for "July and Ansheng" in Beijing is not too far from the Mohen Building.

When he received the call, Shen Mo was talking to Yang Tianzhen and Lin Wei about the promotion of "My Sunshine". He glanced at the caller ID, walked to the window and answered it. The whole call lasted less than ten seconds.

When he turned around, a smile he couldn't hide was still on his lips.

That's all for today.

After saying that, he turned and left, but his steps were much lighter.

Upon arriving at the film set, all the staff members greeted Shen Mo respectfully. Shen Mo nodded and instructed his assistant to distribute the milk tea, coffee, and snacks he had brought.

His gaze swept across the crowd and immediately spotted Li Yitong standing next to the monitor.

"You're here?" Li Yitong smiled when she saw him.

Shen Mo nodded. "Yeah, are they still filming?"

Li Yitong gestured with her chin toward the filming area and said in a low voice, "We're filming the scene where An Sheng is drunk and Su Jiaming helps her home."

Shen Mo followed her gaze.

In the center of the shot, Song Weilong is helping the "drunk" Tian Xiwei into the room. Tian Xiwei is leaning half her weight on his shoulder, her head is tilted to one side, and she is mumbling An Sheng's lines.

Song Weilong held her elbows properly with his hands.

Shen Mo crossed his arms and watched quietly, but he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Li Yitong turned her head to observe him for a while, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

The filming ended with director Tsang Kwok-cheung yelling "CUT".

Zeng Guoxiang had noticed Shen Mo's arrival long ago, but he hadn't greeted him while filming. Now that the shoot was over, he promptly jogged over.

Song Weilong, who was in front of the camera, noticed the crowd gathering there. He immediately spotted the handsome and outstanding Shen Mo among them. His heart skipped a beat, and a thin layer of sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

Before he joined the crew, Gong Yuhan, who also served as his agent, had given him a heads-up.

The two female leads in this movie have an unusual relationship with Shen Mo, the actor who plays Mohen. If he wants to have a good career in the entertainment industry in the future, he should keep a certain distance from her.

Now, his mind raced faster than ever before, trying to recall if he had crossed any lines during the scene he had just witnessed.

After recalling everything, thankfully, nothing happened!

However, since he had just been supporting or even embracing the "drunk" Tian Xiwei, he wondered if Shen Mo would mind.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran over there.

Tian Xiwei frowned as she watched Song Weilong jog away, as if she were his boss!

When Tian Xiwei walked over, Shen Mo was already surrounded by a group of people, and even though Song Weilong ran fast, he couldn't get close enough.

Shen Mo's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the puffed-up face on the outer edge. His eyes softened instantly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The observant staff immediately dispersed, making way for him and Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xi pursed her lips, a signature fake smile appearing on her face.

"President Shen is here to visit Sister Tong on set!"

Then, glancing at Song Weilong, who was slightly hunched over to the side, she tugged at his sleeve and pulled him over to stand beside her.

"President Shen, this is our male lead, Song Weilong. What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Shen Mo's gaze slowly shifted from Tian Xiwei's face to the hand she was holding onto Song Weilong's sleeve, paused for a second, and then smiled as he looked at Song Weilong's face.

Song Weilong clearly felt something explode on the back of his neck.

It was a primal, instinctive alarm, much like the spider's senses.

All the hairs on his body stood on end, and steam rose from the roots of his hair.

He decisively took a large stride, subtly shaking off Tian Xiwei's hand that was holding his arm, and then bowed deeply at an angle of over ninety degrees.

"Hello, Mr. Shen! I'm Song Weilong, a new actor at Chenxi. Please take good care of me!"

Tian Xi looked down at her hand that had been pulled away, her fingers still frozen in mid-air, still clenched in the arc of her sleeve.

She opened her mouth slightly and frowned in disbelief.

Is it really necessary? Are you that scared?!

Shen Mo chuckled, stepped forward, patted Song Weilong on the shoulder, and pulled him up from his bowing position.

"Good job, young man! I think there are a few dramas that would be perfect for you."

Song Weilong's eyes lit up instantly. It was worth it!

He quickly bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Mo nodded and walked towards Tian Xiwei.

Zeng Guoxiang clapped his hands to attract the attention of the staff, and then called out to the surroundings in a loud voice.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop crowding around here. Mr. Shen brought some milk tea, coffee, and snacks. Go and get some, and after you've eaten, hurry up and pack up to prepare for the next event!"

Those present were all seasoned veterans who had worked on various film crews. Upon seeing this, they scattered in an instant, disappearing in less than a minute.

Song Weilong walked the fastest, his steps light, his face still showing the relief of surviving a disaster.

Soon, only Shen Mo, Li Yitong, and Tian Xiwei remained in the vicinity.

Zeng Guoxiang caught a glimpse of Shen Mo, Li Yitong, and Tian Xiwei heading towards the lounge. He looked away and waved to the assistant director.

"Tell me privately when you're ready for the next scene. Don't shout it out. As for the filming time, wait for my notification."

Li Yitong had just reached the door of the lounge when she turned around.

"You guys chat first, I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, she closed the door and gave a wink to her assistants outside. They understood and retreated to a spot a few meters away in the corridor.

The warm yellow light in the lounge bathed the entire room in a soft hue. Tian Xi stood in front of the mirror with her back to Shen Mo, reaching out to fiddle with a few hair clips scattered on the table.

Shen Mo walked up behind her, reached out and took her hand. This time, she didn't pull away like before.

"Song Weilong is pretty good!" Shen Mo said.

Tian Xi pouted slightly and snorted through her nose, "Traitor!"

"Lackey!"

Shen Mo smiled and turned her shoulders so that she would face him.

"That's called being pragmatic, that's called having foresight, that's admirable!"

Tian Xi raised her head slightly, tilting her chin up. Under the light, her fair and slender swan neck and superior jawline were outlined.

After several months of dieting, she has now almost completely recreated her previous life's mature yet sweet girl look.

She glared fiercely at Shen Mo, Who is Zhi Mei? Do I need him...?

Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off.

Shen Mo cupped her face in his hands, leaned forward, and kissed her directly.

Tian Xi paused for a second, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes closed instinctively, and her lips parted slightly. The familiar scent made her instinctively stand on tiptoe.

Just as Shen Mo slightly loosened his grip to catch his breath and turn over for a kiss, she instantly reacted, forcefully pushing Shen Mo's face away with both hands.

"What are you doing?! Are you being a pervert?!"

Shen Mo smiled wryly, "How is kissing my own fiancée considered being a pervert!"

The words "fiancée" startled Tian Xiwei again. Her big eyes blinked twice, and just as she opened her mouth to refute,

Shen Mo reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her close to his chest, and kissed her again.

Tian Xi leaned back slightly, trying to dodge, but he held her tightly, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Her fingers pushed hard against his arm, squeezing out wrinkles from the sleeves of his shirt.

But slowly, the strength in her hands gradually disappeared.

She closed her eyes and unconsciously immersed herself in the moment.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but just when Tian Xiwei felt like she couldn't breathe, Shen Mo released her.

She leaned against him, breathing heavily and weakly, her forehead pressed against his neck, her face so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and even her ears felt burning hot.

She reached out and gently stroked Shen Mo's chest, stopping at his familiar pectoral muscles.

"What's so special about this? You think you can just turn the page after a kiss?"

Then, give it a hard tug!

Shen Mo hissed softly, but he still pulled her closer to him.

Shen Mo carried her to the sofa and sat her down, letting her sit on his lap and lean against him in a more comfortable position.

Tian Xiwei remained silent for a long while. She rubbed her forehead against his chin, remembering the purpose of inviting him to visit the set.

"This drama doesn't have any kissing scenes between the male and female leads... nor any other intimate scenes..."

"The helping each other you saw today... that's already considered quite intimate between the male and female leads in this drama..."

Shen Mo patted her on the back. "Of course I know!"

"Otherwise, this film would never have reached the hands of the two of you."

Tian Xi gave a soft hum, turned her head away, and showed Shen Mo her round back of her head.

I was even thinking of explaining to him, but it turns out he wasn't worried at all from the beginning.

"Knock knock knock!"

Li Yitong pushed the door open and walked in. Tian Xiwei instinctively braced herself against Shen Mo's thighs, trying to stand up.

Shen Mo tightened his grip on her arm and pulled her back.

Tian Xi turned around and glared at him fiercely, but the effect was about the same as a cat with its fur standing on end.

Li Yitong smiled, closed the door, walked over and casually pinched Tian Xiwei's cheek, then naturally sat down next to Shen Mo, her shoulder gently resting on Shen Mo's arm.

"What's there to be shy about? Haven't I seen plenty of scenes like this between you two in my past life?"

Tian Xi opened her mouth slightly, "But..."

"No buts." Li Yitong interrupted her, looking at her seriously.

"I don't care about anyone else, so why would I care about you?"

Tian Xi was stunned.

After she had been in a cold war with Shen Mo for several months, started her own company, Chenxi Media, and told him countless times that she didn't need his help, Li Yitong disarmed her with just one sentence.

Shen Mo patted Tian Xiwei's back, then reached out his other hand to put his arm around Li Yitong's waist, pulling her close to him.

Li Yitong wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, her slender fingers pinching and twisting his waist.

"Hiss—! I highly recommend 'The Shura Field of Chinese Entertainment: All the Young Actresses Want to Climb to the Top'! Click to go directly to the story world." Shen Mo gasped.

"You two are such best friends! Give me a go!"

Tian Xiwei burst out laughing, her big, curved eyes mirroring Li Yitong's at that moment.

"That's already considered mild."

After pinching for less than two seconds, Li Yitong tenderly released her fingers, placed her palm on the spot she had just twisted, and slowly began to rub it.

Shen Mo gently squeezed Li Yitong's waist with his arm around her. Li Yitong pouted and then rested her head on his shoulder.

Tian Xi leaned against Shen Mo's chest, tilted her head to look at Li Yitong, and then, with a quick twitch of her eyes, lifted her legs that were dangling to the side and placed them on Li Yitong's legs.

Then he grinned at Li Yitong.

Li Yitong looked down at the legs draped over her lap, then looked up at Tian Xiwei's undisguised smug expression, and slapped her calf.

"Tian'er, stop dieting! You've already lost all your weight!"

"Where is it?!"

Tian Xiwei suddenly sat up straight and puffed out her chest.

"Look! It's so big! Where did it go?"

Li Yitong rolled her eyes at her and scoffed.

Tian Xiwei instantly bristled, "Li Yitong! What do you mean?!"

"You're just jealous!"

"I've touched it before! The feel is completely different!"

Shen Mo smiled and placed his arm around Tian Xiwei's as well.

"I'll give it a try; I'm the most qualified to speak on this!"

His palm had barely touched hers for a second when Tian Xiwei slapped it away.

"Don't push your luck!"

Shen Mo wasn't annoyed. He withdrew his hand and leaned back on the sofa. "You've definitely lost weight, Tian'er. Stop dieting! Eat more!"

"I like your chubby and cute look even more, Mo-ge!"

Tian Xi rolled her eyes at him, stood up forcefully, then turned around and sat on Li Yitong's lap, wrapping her arms around Li Yitong's shoulders and glaring fiercely at Shen Mo.

"What you like is none of my business! I like the mature, domineering woman route, whether you like it or not."

Li Yitong cried out "Ouch!" as Tian Xiwei pressed down on her, then smiled and wrapped her arms around Tian Xiwei's waist.

Tian Xi turned her head slightly, snuggled against her with satisfaction, rested her chin on her shoulder, and glanced at Shen Mo out of the corner of her eye.

"You say you like chubby little things? Li Xue is so skinny, and Xiong is so small, but you still adore them, don't you?"

Li Yitong's smile froze on her face. She slowly turned her head and stared at Tian Xiwei's profile, which was so close to hers.

"Ugh! Talking about him is one thing, but attacking me personally is another!"

She pushed Tian Xiwei off her shoulder a little and straightened her chest.

"I've been reborn as an enhanced version, I've been redeveloped."

Tian Xi snorted dismissively.

"Yes! I've redeveloped!"

"It's grown from a small bamboo shoot into a small steamed bun!"

"What little buns!" Li Yitong's tone instantly rose eight keys, "They're B's, okay?!"

"Really? Let me try!" Tian Xi chuckled, reached out and placed her hand on it, even weighing it carefully, raising her eyebrows.

"Wow, that's impressive! Li Xue, I didn't realize!"

"I thought you were still a washboard in your past life!"

Li Yitong reached out and slapped away her mischievous hand.

"I wasn't a washboard in my past life, okay? Your best friend Coconut was!"

Shen Mo chimed in at the opportune moment, "Actually, everything's fine!"

The two women turned and glared at him simultaneously, shouting in unison, "Get lost!"

Shen Mo smiled and raised his hands in surrender, shrinking half an inch into the sofa.

Tian Xiwei leaned over Li Yitong's lap, wanting to add another harsh remark, but Li Yitong pulled her back by the waist.

Li Yitong lowered her head and buried her face in Tian Xiwei's shoulder, her shoulders trembling silently, letting out two muffled laughs.

Tian Xiwei's hand slid down her shoulder and gently patted her back twice. Then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two of them burst into laughter, huddled together on the sofa.

The three chatted in the lounge for a while, and the conversation naturally drifted to the upcoming filming.

-----------------

On the other hand, today is also a special day for Boss Jia.

May 4th, Wednesday, is the day LeShi.com resumes trading.

Monday is too rushed, Friday is too risky. If there's any trouble on the day trading resumes, no one dares to gamble on how the news will develop over the weekend.

Wednesday is perfect.

On the eve of the resumption of trading, all the closing documents for the acquisition of LeShi Pictures were finalized and stamped.

Ten days ago, LeShi.com issued an announcement stating that it plans to issue 1.65 million shares at a price of 41.37 yuan per share and pay 29.79 billion yuan in cash, for a total consideration of 98 billion yuan to acquire 100% equity of LeShi Pictures.

LeShi Pictures covers multiple sectors including film and television production and distribution, and also disclosed the list of dozens of celebrity shareholders introduced by LeShi Pictures.

Essentially, after the completion of this acquisition, LeShi.com will form a complete closed-loop ecosystem of "film and television production + platform broadcasting".

This closed loop could have helped LeShi.com's stock price soar in the capital market, but the story of the closed loop was punctured a few days before trading resumed.

The news that "Demon Girl" was taken down spread across the entire internet.

At this critical juncture, with such a thing happening, Boss Jia almost wanted to tear Zhang Zehan to pieces.

In fact, how much impact does the removal of a TV series have on LeShi.com's annual revenue?

That's definitely not big.

The production cost of "Demon Girl" only accounts for a small portion of the overall assets of Leshi Pictures.

But what really makes market analysts and investors hesitate is not the financial data, but the risk exposure.

How many unreleased projects are still in LeShi Pictures' portfolio?

Are there any other Zhang Zehans in those projects?

The capital market always looks at expectations.

There is no answer to this question, because no one can guarantee the rights of an actor.

Therefore, different institutions have given differing predictions for the first day of trading after the resumption of trading.

Optimists predict several consecutive days of limit-up gains, citing the positive expectations brought by the two projects, "Fengshen" and "Youth," one a nationwide recruitment of young male actors and the other a nationwide recruitment of young female actors, with the popularity of the two training camps expected to last for at least six months.

Moreover, the scale of projects with big directors and large investments, along with the integration of resources in the Beijing film circle, is enough to cover up the shortcomings of Leshi Pictures' content.

Moreover, the scale of projects with big directors and large investments, along with the integration of resources in the Beijing film circle, is enough to cover up the shortcomings of Leshi Pictures' content.

Pessimists predict a flat opening followed by a decline, arguing that the removal of "Demon Girl" exposed LeShi's shortcomings in artist risk control, and that the core risk of the content industry is precisely the uncertainty of people.

However, disagreements are not necessarily a bad thing; disagreements lead to transactions, and transactions lead to the turnover of hands.

On the morning of the day trading resumed, the phone at LeShi.com's securities department started ringing.

Fund managers, securities analysts, and financial journalists are all asking the same question: Are you confident about the stock price on the first day of trading after the resumption of trading?

Leshi's answer is only one: the company's fundamentals are good, the major asset restructuring is progressing smoothly, and there is a sufficient reserve of new projects. Please refer to the announcement for details.

At the same time, Tian Xiwei continued filming, while Li Yitong leaned against Shen Mo, scrolling through financial news on her phone.

The headlines of several major financial media outlets were largely the same.

LeShi.com resumes trading today; can its ecological transformation strategy achieve further success?

Major Acquisition Completed, LeShi.com's Valuation May Be Reassessed

Many of them mentioned the impact of "Demon Girl," but the wording was very restrained, mostly using terms like "short-term impact" and "flaws don't overshadow the merits."

"Most people are still optimistic about the market."

"normal."

Shen Mo looked at Tian Xiwei in the distance and began to explain to Li Yitong.

"Institutions don't look at gossip news; they look at the scale of the project, the integration of resources, and the expected future returns."

"The removal of a web series is just a non-recurring loss in their eyes."

"What do you mean?"

"That means it's a one-time loss that won't happen again. It can be listed separately in accounting and won't affect the assessment of the company's main business."

"Therefore, during normal stock market periods, it might have some impact on its stock price in the short term, but in the long run, it won't have much of an effect."

"Moreover, this all happened last week. In order to offset this negative news, he brought up Feng Xiaogang's billion-dollar project 'Youth', along with the previous 'Investiture of the Gods'. This would be a super benefit for any film and television company."

At 9:15 a.m., the opening auction phase began.

Instead of sitting in his office monitoring the stock market on his computer, Boss Jia brought the core members of the entire securities department and brand public relations department into the large conference room.

The opening auction price slowly rose from the initial reference price, with buy orders gradually accumulating, but sell orders did not retreat either.

The buy and sell orders above and below the order book were constantly fluctuating within a few cents' range, with the numbers constantly changing, indicating that the buying and selling forces were almost completely balanced.

Boss Jia sat in the main seat, one hand resting on the edge of the table.

Gan Wei sat to his left. Instead of looking at the screen, she stared at Boss Jia's profile.

She had seen his expression at countless crucial moments, and that expression usually had only one underlying tone: confidence.

But today, she showed no confidence on her face, nor was she flustered; only a gloomy expression.

Gan Wei's years of experience as a couple told her that this was how Boss Jia behaved when things were uncertain.

She looked down at her phone; the notification bar was already overflowing with push notifications from financial apps.

With LeShi.com's resumption of trading imminent, market divergence intensifies; can the star-studded shareholder lineup boost the stock price?

……

The market officially opened at 9:30.

The price fluctuated slightly after the market opened.

However, this also means that the positive news regarding the acquisition of Leshi Pictures was indeed affected, and the goal of a straight upward surge to the daily limit was not achieved.

Before the market opened, LeShi's public relations department had already prepared promotional materials for the stock to hit the daily limit on the first day of trading after the resumption of trading.

The title was already prepared in advance: "LeShi.com hits daily limit on first day of trading after resumption of trading; market votes with its feet to show its belief."

However, it seems this press release will not be able to be sent out now.

The order book numbers on the screen jumped rapidly, and LeShi.com's total market capitalization fluctuated around 100 billion before slowly moving upwards.

Buy orders of less than 20,000 lots appeared repeatedly, pushing up the price before selling pressure emerged. Institutions were testing the waters, speculative funds were probing, and retail investors were watching from the sidelines.

It wasn't until close to 11 o'clock that it finally hit the daily limit for the first time.

Although it hit the daily limit, it wasn't locked in.

Every now and then, thousands of sell orders would appear on the order book, creating a gap in the buy orders, which would then be filled by new buy orders.

After consolidating for a while after the market opened in the afternoon, it finally closed completely at around 2 p.m.

When the market finally closed for the day, deep teeth marks were imprinted on Boss Jia's lower lip. Gan Wei glanced at her clenched palms with the marks on them and quietly placed them on her knees.

Zhang Yimou, Guo Xiaosi, Feng Xiaogang, Huang Xiaoming, and others couldn't contain their joy at the market close, as their invested funds had now yielded huge returns.

Zhang Yimou, who was the first to invest in LeShi Pictures, invested 1200 million yuan for a stake. After the stake was injected into LeShi.com, his unrealized profit exceeded 1.29 million yuan. Guo Xiaosi, Feng Xiaogang and others had unrealized profits of around 5000 million yuan, and Huang Xiaoming's unrealized profit exceeded 600 million yuan.

Liu Tao, Deng Chao, Sun Honglei, Chen He, Wang Baoqiang, and other artists who are close to Mohen have all received hints from Mohen to varying degrees, suggesting that if they haven't signed a contract yet, they should try not to, or try to find another agency to take them over.

But how many people could refuse such a great opportunity to invest in Lexis?

In the end, almost all of them signed the equity investment agreement. However, when the negative news about "Demon Girl" broke out a few days ago, they were instantly terrified. Could it be that Mohen was right?

When the market opened today, they all stared at the screen with worried expressions, still holding onto a sliver of hope. Fortunately, the stock eventually hit its daily limit, giving them a sense of relief. Perhaps this matter was over, and they even held onto a sliver of hope that it might rise even further.

In offices across different cities, several institutions holding significant positions in LeShi.com breathed a sigh of relief as the stock closed at its daily limit.

However, before shutting down their computers, they still changed LeShi.com's rating from "overweight" to "hold" in their internal system.

Reason: Content business is subject to significant short-term fluctuations; it is recommended to monitor the progress of new project implementation.

Financial media reported the day's market with headlines like "closed at the daily limit," leading those who didn't follow the market to believe that Le Yi had successfully capitalized on the trend.

However, a closer look at the main text reveals that these media outlets all mentioned, to varying degrees, comments such as "significant divergence between bulls and bears during trading", "early morning volatility", and "the market remains cautious about the integration effect after the acquisition of LeShi Pictures".

In plain terms, it hit the daily limit, but not as impressive as expected. It might rise further, but the upside potential is limited, and it's significantly less than before.

LeShi.com's stock price hit the daily limit today, and Boss Jia knows he should be happy.

But he knew even more clearly that today's limit-up was barely maintained.

After all, it's clear to all the major institutions that LeShi.com's acquisition of LeShi Pictures is at most a transfer of assets from one hand to the other for Boss Jia. The benefits this time are more due to the addition and binding of dozens of celebrity shareholders.

However, these positive news items are no longer so favorable due to the negative news surrounding "Demon Girl" a few days ago.

The current hype is largely driven by the official announcements of two big-budget productions, "Youth" and "Investiture of the Gods."

Today's market saw an increase, but there was no large-scale entry of institutional funds; instead, it was mostly retail investors adding to their positions.

What alarmed him most was not the bearish voices in the stock forums, but the fact that not a single celebrity shareholder shared their joy today.

In the past, when a stock resumed trading and hit its daily limit, Weibo would have been flooded with posts like "Congratulations, Mr. Jia!" and "Keep it up, LeShi!"
