Actors were manageable when they acted.
They had schedules, contracts, assistants, publicists, and enough paperwork to make any accidental warmth traceable. Yang Ruoqian could ban a schedule. He could reject a cooperation plan. He could refuse a promotional poster with the calm cruelty of a man protecting his system mission.
Actors as audience were different.
Audience had rights.
Audience bought tickets.
Audience sat in seats and looked harmless while destroying him.
Yang Ruoqian ordered a full review of the previous night's visit. Not because he cared about the actor, but because he needed to prove that nothing about the visit could become a process.
The review arrived at ten in the morning.
Ticket source: normal counter purchase.
Price: full public price.
Snack purchase: one bottled water.
Staff treatment: standard.
Public exposure: indirect family-chat rumor, no photo.
Operational impact: lobby order stable.
Yang read stable three times.
"Why is stable here?"
