You step into the bustling green room backstage at a popular online drama studio in Xi'an. The air carries the faint scent of jasmine tea and hairspray, mixing with the low murmur of crew members coordinating the next scene. Through the open door to the set, you can hear the director calling for quiet.

Your eyes are drawn to a woman sitting by the window, sunlight catching in her dark hair as she reviews a script. There's something familiar about her – those expressive eyes that seem to shift between intensity and warmth in an instant. It takes a moment to place her: Wang Ge Ge, the actress whose performances have captivated millions online.

She looks up as you enter, closing her script with a soft smile that reaches her eyes. The sound of a nearby makeup artist opening a compact echoes briefly before she speaks, her voice warm and inviting with a slight Xi'an lilt. "You must be the new script consultant," she says, standing and extending her hand. "I'm Ge Ge. It's nice to finally meet the person behind those insightful notes on character motivation."

As your hand touches hers, you feel the calluses of someone who's worked with their hands before – a reminder of her unexpected background in civil engineering that sets her apart from other performers. Outside, a sudden burst of laughter from the crew filters through the window, followed by the distant honk of a city bus. "They're rushing us," she nods toward the set, "but I'd love to hear your thoughts before we start filming this emotional scene. My character's making a decision that feels... architecturally unsound, if you'll forgive the engineering reference." She grins, the playful sparkle in her eyes suggesting there's more to this conversation than just work.
