The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 388

The two dramas were broadcast one after the other, and the war without gunpowder officially began. The fans on both sides also started to defend their own homes and quarreled on online platforms.

["Star Ablaze" has a small budget but it is a conscientious drama. Although Service and Appearance is a bit worse, it takes the strength route and the plot remains online!]

[Haha, the strength route? Not afraid of heaven and earth when provoking people is strength? The plot remains online? The villain is highly powered but after being scolded by the heroine he just glares with his eyes wide?]

[Haha, is "Star Ablaze" good? Three episodes already and not a single face slap, the male lead only knows how to cry and gets saved by others, neither of the two female leads has appeared, interesting?]

...

The two sides quarreled vigorously, bringing different degrees of popularity to both dramas.

But Qin Wei didn't care too much. Taking advantage of the drama's popularity recently, many brands came to look for her for cooperation.

Although Star Entertainment no longer helps her manage these, Li Yao who is overseas doesn't care about these things. He is still responsible for Qin Wei's career and communicates and negotiates seriously with these domestic brands.

"Most merchants want to take advantage of this popularity but are afraid it's not sustainable. They hurry to negotiate because they are afraid we will raise prices, but they are also unwilling to lose money. Whether to cooperate or not depends on her appearance in tonight's drama."

Li Yao called Qin Wei to briefly explain the situation,

"Among them there are two cooperatives that I think are pretty good, both their sincerity and price are acceptable. I'll send you the information later, if you think you can accept it, I'll wait to negotiate with them tomorrow. I'll be back the day after tomorrow, then we'll probably start shooting." 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

"Okay."

Qin Wei didn't refuse, and asked him again,

"Li Yao, our contract expired long ago. You are an employee of Star Entertainment now. Doesn't the company have any opinions about you helping me like this?"

"Pfft! Who are we to each other! We've been together for so many years. When you were at your best I never considered replacing you. I can cooperate with Star Entertainment, isn't that also because of you?

General Manager Xu and I have talked. For Star Entertainment, I have to choose between you and them. Not that Mr. Xu is not good, he is a businessman, working with him means doing business. Personal relationships are another matter..."

Qin Wei: "Get to the point."

Li Yao: "I quit."

Qin Wei: "That was way too short???"

Li Yao added another two sentences:

"After I finish this overseas thing, I'll come back and gradually hand over my work. It may take some effort during the transition period, but I'll still follow you. I can't let you be so casual anymore."

Qin Wei asked him:

"Do you need me to say some polite, thankful words?"

"No need."

Li Yao declined on the other end of the phone,

"You taking a couple more business deals will be the best repayment to me."

...

That night when the TV drama aired, Qin Wei sat alone in the living room watching. Her roommates should have gone overseas by now due to the time difference and filming tasks, so they did not contact each other.

The TV drama aired on time, and Qin Wei was a little nervous.

In the drama, Da Zhe rode a horse back with Star Ablaze. Greeting them was Luo Yang in a red dress.

Danmu comments——

[Wow looks good!]

[The plot is so slow but! Looks good!]

[I said, her not acting in costume dramas would be a loss for costume dramas. Those who were collectively scolded before for acting in rotten dramas, go find them again and they can still beat most of the recent idol dramas]

[It's funny how the fans want to market Perfect Beauty for their lady boss. For an actor, if the acting skills are no good and there is no strength, just relying on a good-looking face is useless]

[Lady boss? We only treat little Qin as a little girl...whatever, the quality is yours, I didn't say that]

[The problem is...I casually watched for a few minutes, and I feel this part was acted quite well...]

...

As soon as Qin Wei appeared in the drama, it caused heated discussion. Topic clicks and ratings ushered in a small peak, which was what Li Yao was happy to see.

Traffic is traffic, there is no good or bad.

The other side obviously also understands this principle. Inferior in service, appearance, shooting standards, etc., then compete in plot. Currently "Star Ablaze" has just revealed the plot and has not fully unfolded. In this case, they have to try hard to market what the other side does not have——

["The Most Important Thing for a Drama is What? Top Stars? Big Budget Blockbusters?

Little Surprise believes that it is the original intention of the creators and the core of the work.

The "Counterattack" team did not sleep or rest in the face of oppression from rivals and lack of funds and other difficulties, did not retreat, but insisted on creation, which led to the work presented to everyone today, containing the hard work and enthusiasm of the creators. I hope everyone will like it"]

Comments——

[I am moved by the feelings of the creators. Creation is not easy. The success of this drama does not rely on marketing but on strength. I support the main actors of "Counterattack"!]

...

[Hmm, are there any living people in the comments...]

[Didn't the internet water army notice the typo? It should be creation is not easy...]

[There are...but I think it's pretty good to watch. Life is not easy, watching some relaxing dramas improves my mood (]

[Alright, seems their fans were all taught by the same math teacher]

...

Yuan Director sat in the conference room of the hotel, watching the drama on her computer, while also checking the comments on various major platforms.

Seeing these comments, she couldn't help laughing. Her assistant came in just then to hand over documents. Seeing her so happy, she asked:

"Director Yuan, what interesting thing are you looking at?"

Yuan Director asked her: "Have you seen your senior sister's new drama? What do you think?"

The "senior sister" that Yuan Director would mention could only be Qin Wei.

The assistant thought about it:

"She's only appeared in two episodes so far, so there's not much to see. I don't think she did a bad job. Her acting skills are not as bad as said online. So far, her looks are definitely impressive. She is one of the top candidates for costume dramas. Whether a costume drama is good or not, inviting her can attract a group of people to watch."

Yuan Director looked up at her. Because the new drama was in preparation, this freshman had also come from drama school auditions to be her assistant for a few days. She was clever and taciturn, and still relatively comfortable to get along with.

"Good relationship with your senior sister?"

Yuan Director asked her,

"It feels like you're trying to say good things about her subtly."

The assistant did not hide it and told Yuan Director directly:

"Basically all the freshmen of the Acting Department this year know her. Senior Sister has a good memory and can still remember everyone's names since military training. I'm one of them as well.

It's not that we have a good or bad relationship, just mutual acquaintance. Moreover, there are internship positions this time, so I'm quite grateful to her."

Yuan Director nodded. She felt Qin Wei was quite smart to have resolved intern positions for so many freshmen, while at the same time reducing the hiring costs of the crew and the uneven backgrounds of the crew members. This avoided the mixing of people of all types at the filming location.

Anyway, cooperating with the school was a new attempt that satisfied all parties.

"Yes, I believe they are thankful.

But you're different. As a freshman, you applied for so many good internship positions, and even got the high-paying celebrity assistant position at Jubilee Company, yet you rejected them all and came to me as a small errand assistant. Why bother?"

Yuan Director signed the confirmation form and asked her at the same time when handing over the documents.

The assistant smiled and said,

"It's my first internship in my freshman year, so I don't want to focus so much on money. I'm more interest-oriented. I really want to witness the process of making a quality movie from preparation to release."

"You know how to talk. Fine, go back and rest."

...

After the little assistant left with the documents, she took out her phone outside the door and called back a missed call:

"Hello, yes I'm going back now, I know, I know, Zhou Fang you really do talk a lot..."
