Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Collective Turnaround! Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Collective Turnaround! —-Compared to that, I think “Allure” is better than “Deep Palace.”
Seeing the tide of positive reviews, Leng Yan smiled so broadly his eyes disappeared.
He had been clutching his computer, calculating money since last night, right up to this moment.
The bulk of “Allure’s” revenue came from shares, and these viewership numbers were all convertible to cash.
Youju was now on fire too, with download numbers skyrocketing.
And the number of subscribers was shooting up!
All because of “Allure.”
President Zheng was truly shedding tears of bitterness.
He never thought he’d have a chance to turn things around in his life, and was fortunate not to have missed out on “Allure”!
At ten o’clock in the morning, the press conference began.
It was a small press conference, just a casual conversation about the plot.
But the journalists wouldn’t let Xia Weibao go.
She was now the hot commodity in the entertainment circle, sizzling hot!
“Miss Xia, what do you think about receiving the first military honor in the entertainment industry?”
On this topic, Xia Weibao was somewhat distracted.
Actually, the military honor wasn’t hers, it was Lu Hualiang’s.
He hadn’t come home in two days, and she had no idea where he had gone.
No answer on his phone, no reply to texts.
It seemed this time he was truly angry.
“Miss Xia, Miss Xia?”
The journalist called out several times, but Xia Weibao didn’t respond.
Xu Jiayang turned his head to see her daydreaming and gently nudged her arm.
Xia Weibao finally snapped back to attention, “What?”
“Miss Xia, what would you like to say about receiving the first military honor in the entertainment circle?”
Xia Weibao forced a smile, “Actually, when I first took on this mission, I didn’t have much of a feeling about it. The military needed a woman to make the enemy let down their guard, so I went.
But after going through the smear campaign recently, I’ve had a lot of thoughts.
I just hope netizens will be more rational in the future. Mean words really do hurt.”
The journalist who asked the question instantly felt embarrassed, “Miss Xia is truly a heroic woman. Most people would run far away from such incidents.”
Another journalist stood up, “Miss Xia, your appointment as honorary instructor at the Northern Military Camp is enviable. Where did you learn your martial arts skills?”
Xia Weibao felt a stab in her heart and was somewhat uncomfortable.
The title of honorary instructor was also something Lu Hualiang had fought for her.
It seemed all of her achievements today were inseparable from his help.
When had that man become so integrated into her life?
“I learned it privately from a coach. After all, when filming martial arts scenes, you need a foundation in martial arts. Plus, I have a talent for it, so I picked it up quickly.”
This answer didn’t give anything away.
Although the journalists wanted to dig deeper, they couldn’t pursue further questions.
“Miss Xia is truly a dedicated actress, practicing martial arts diligently for filming.”
Xia Weibao smiled and winked at the host.
Today’s press conference was about “Allure,” not about her personally.
The host quickly smiled and steered the conversation back on track.
“Miss Xia, what was the most memorable part of filming ‘Allure’?”
What a great question!
Xia Weibao was a bit excited, “The most memorable thing, of course, was being poor, extremely poor. I haven’t even received my pay yet.”
Her words opened the floodgates, and the other actors began to speak up.
“Right, so poor. We haven’t been paid either, we’ve all been given IOUs.”
“Not just that, we filmed for three months, and after the first week of seeing slices of meat, for the rest of the days we didn’t even have minced meat, our boxed lunches were all vegetarian!”
