Chapter 104: Chapter 104 He Believes in Ye Xian
“They want money not faces, just smashing the pot to pieces, let’s just enjoy the show~”
“Poor Goddess Jingshu, deigning to take on this drama only to be trapped by a ‘Capitalist’!”
“I’m just here to observe the performance of a Rotten Sour Plum Award winner, to see just how bad it can get.”
“Here for the facial aesthetics, just watch the face the whole time~”
“Plus one to the beauty upstairs, as long as the brother looks good, morals follow the facial features, I can endure even the worst acting.”
The crew of “Business World” was still rushing to shoot night scenes. When the broadcast time was near, Director Li Jiahua opened Xiangfei Video, and upon seeing the unusually high increase in bullet comments, he smiled faintly.
The assistant director looked at him somewhat speechlessly, “Director Li, all these comments are cursing us, how can you still smile?” Was he stimulated into silliness?
Li Jiahua said, “This is all thanks to Ye Xian’s promotional efforts last night. Look, how good the traffic is now, almost catching up with the first day of airing. Our drama hasn’t had this much attention in a long time, it seems haters are truly more loyal than fans! Their fighting spirit is strong too.”
The assistant saw him contemplating appreciatively, just like how Ye Xian genuinely thanked the haters last night at the Screaming Night awards ceremony, and started to doubt life.
Did Director catch something from Ye Xian?
“Are we really going for a notorious fame strategy with our drama?”
“You understand nothing.”
Li Jiahua gave him a glance, lit a cigarette, and just smiled without saying a word.
He believed in Ye Xian.
At exactly 8:00 PM, the newest two episodes of “Business World” started airing. A throng of viewers dove in, continuing the previous pattern: the heroine only knew to cry when faced with problems and sought help from the second male lead, while the supporting female Ning Xiner continued on her path of entrapping the heroine and deceiving the male lead, sailing smoothly. The frustrating plot had earlier viewers who had left, but now came back to bash Ye Xian, wanting to curse out loud. However, thinking that bashing Ye Xian might be more satisfying than critiquing the plot, they held back, determined to wait until Ye Xian appeared to start spewing insults.
In the first episode, by the seventeenth minute, the drama deliberately set the tone, hinting at the upcoming entry of the new character Gu Chen.
The actors, staff, and production crew of “Business World” all gathered around Li Jiahua, watching the computer screen nervously.
All the passersby and haters also had their hands on the keyboard, eager and ready, almost as if afraid to miss the first prime chance to bash Ye Xian.
Even Cheng Jingshu, who had just finished her scene, walked up behind Li Jiahua with a lofty posture.
Meanwhile, the protagonist Ye Xian was leisurely receiving a spicy bone broth hotpot from a delivery guy, adding chili and vinegar, tearing open an attractive golden-brown deep-fried dough stick, slowly dipping it into the rich and fragrant bone broth, satisfactorily sniffing the aroma, and casually turned on the perfect side-dish drama “Business World.”
The weather was hot and dry, and on the crowded urban asphalt road, cars were backed up in a line, Ning Xiner impatiently kept honking the horn, and with her rotten mood, even the air seemed thick and murky.
“Guys, charge! I heard Ye Xian makes his entry here!”
“I’m here, I’m here, please everyone, let me bash him first! I’ve despised him for so many years, I can’t wait any longer!”
“Ye Xian’s beloved hater coming up, let him see what I’m capable of soon.”
“Make way~ Make way~”
Before the person appeared, his voice arrived first.
A clear, pure young voice suddenly came through, like a refreshing, pleasing new spring, tearing through the sticky murkiness of summer, cleansing everyone’s heart so thoroughly it felt cool and refreshing.
