Days after leaving Mushroom House, Weibo was filled with promotions for "Infernal Affairs 2" and "The Wandering Earth."
The promotional efforts for these two films went into overdrive, with continuous topics related to them dominating the trending searches.
#Su Han Sings Beautifully#
#Su Han is so good to Zhang Zhan, what a great person!#
#Su Han, 'Infernal Affairs 2' promotion on 'Back to Life' #
#Infernal Affairs 2 Premieres July 18#
#Su Han Sings Better Than Zhang Zhan.#
#The Wandering Earth Premieres July 18.#
Topics like these flooded the trending charts, dense and numerous.
Yang Mi was very pleased looking at these trending topics.
"Well, that's great. I didn't expect you to perform so well on 'Back to Life'."
"It was alright."
"I didn't know you could sing, huh?"
"The internet is full of people telling you to sing and pursue a career in music, saying it's a waste for you to be an actor."
"No, no, no, that's not necessary at all."
"I'd rather be an actor."
The trending topics continued for several consecutive days.
Of course, the promotional efforts for "The Wandering Earth" were far more extensive than those for "Infernal Affairs 2."
Netizens seemed to go wild, desperately promoting "The Wandering Earth" for Zhang Zhan.
Many celebrities also helped promote it.
Then Yang Mi posted on Weibo.

After Yang Mi's post, numerous celebrities began promoting Su Han one after another.
Reba: #Before, I had no choice. Now, I want to be a good person. If you've seen 'Infernal Affairs', you can look forward to 'Infernal Affairs 2'. If you haven't, that's okay too, you can still go watch it. I heard this is the actual first installment, and the story truly begins here. July 18th, we want to meet you at the cinema, don't miss it.

Huang Lei: #Haven't had enough of Feng Yuxiu? If you haven't had enough, you can continue to watch 'Infernal Affairs 2'. July 18th, the cinema awaits you!#
He Laoshi: #July 18th, 'Infernal Affairs 2', see you at the cinema. Su Han, fighting!#
Zhang Zifeng: #Su Han Ge's acting is amazing! I loved his Feng Yuxiu. Looking forward to his role in 'Infernal Affairs 2'! July 18th! See you then!#

Zhang Yixing: #Go Su Han Ge! 'Infernal Affairs 2' premieres July 18th, everyone remember to watch.#
...
A large portion of the entertainment industry was helping Su Han promote his new film.
July 10th.
The premiere of "Infernal Affairs 2" also arrived.
This was a day they had eagerly awaited.
Early that morning, Yang Mi quickly drove Su Han to the premiere venue.
The premiere venue was packed, a sea of people.
Many attendees were Su Han's fans, and a significant number were reporters.
They had been waiting for this day for a very long time.
After all, the gambling agreement between Su Han and Zhang Zhan had always been a highlight of the entertainment industry and a focal point for media attention.
They were waiting to interview Su Han today and generate some buzz.
"When is Su Han arriving?"
"Will he come from this direction? I remember he was pelted with eggs during his first film. Is he traumatized and avoiding this route now?"
"Ahem, perhaps that's really possible."
Just as a few reporters were chatting amongst themselves, two cars stopped at the entrance of the premiere venue.
As expected, the people inside the cars were Su Han, the protagonist they were waiting to interview.
Su Han and Yang Mi alighted from the cars, followed by several security guards.
"Ah! He's here, he's here! Su Han is coming!"
"Su Han, over there!!!!"
The reporters all noticed Su Han's arrival and pointed at him from a distance, shouting loudly.
They rushed forward, a throng of excited people.
This scene was much more intense than during the Feng Yuxiu incident.
Yang Mi smiled and joked with Su Han, "I don't suppose anyone will throw eggs today, will they?"
Su Han: "If they do, I'll use you as a shield, okay?"
"Tch!"
As the two exchanged a couple of jokes, the reporters behind them swarmed forward and surrounded them.
The scene was lively.
"Su Han! We heard you and Yang Mi are together, is this true?"
"Su Han! Are you with Yang Mi, or are you with Reba?"
The paparazzi immediately bombarded Su Han with these two idiotic questions.
Listening to these ridiculous questions, Su Han didn't need to answer; Yang Mi, standing beside him, her expression soured.
"Wait, I'm here too. Why aren't you asking me, why are you asking him?"
Yang Mi's retort caused the paparazzi to take a deep breath, flustered.
"Today is the film's premiere, not a place for you to spread rumors and gossip."
"I also ask that you reporters be more professional in the future and stop spreading lies."
Yang Mi was genuinely angry and directly confronted the reporters.
If it were in the past, Yang Mi would certainly not have responded, but with the rumors circulating for so long and continuing to this day, she was getting annoyed.
Moreover, if she didn't respond, she feared that reporters would fabricate even more outrageous stories in the future. She had to drop a bomb here to shake them up and stop them from being so arrogant.
"Let's go!"
After speaking, Yang Mi glanced at Su Han. Su Han followed her, and they entered the premiere venue together.
By this time, the premiere venue was already full.
The two directors of "Infernal Affairs 2" and several Hong Kong actors had already arrived.
"Remember to think carefully before you speak on stage, don't mess around. Be mindful."
"You go up on stage, I'll take my seat."
After Yang Mi instructed Su Han, she watched him go on stage before taking her seat.
In the past, she had worried about Su Han's ability to handle such large occasions and speak appropriately.
But after watching Su Han record "Back to Life," she was no longer worried.
However, she still had another concern: that Su Han might say something he shouldn't.
Director Liu, Director Mak, as well as Eric Tsang, Shawn Yue, and Carina Lau were all present.
Su Han, as a newcomer, stood beside these established figures.
Despite standing with these veterans, their aura did not overshadow Su Han; he seemed to belong to the same generation as them.
Su Han's aura seemed to subtly shift and adapt depending on the people around him.
Seeing this, Yang Mi let out a sigh of relief, feeling slightly more at ease.
