Chapter 145: Chapter 146 Preview Clip_1
It wasn’t until Si Limo’s figure had completely disappeared that Qiao Xiaren could gather a response, feeling a peculiar sensation in his heart.
Li Li drove his car out of the garage the moment the startup ceremony ended.
“Xiaren, do you want to…” Before Li Li could finish his sentence, Qiao Xiaren had already opened the passenger door, sat down, his dark eyes showing a dim light, “Thank you, Director Li.”
A twitch tugged at the corner of Li Li’s mouth, wasn’t this too straightforward? But, looking at the delicately beautiful face before him, he couldn’t utter a word!
The engine roared to life, and the car zoomed away.
“Regarding Yeqian’s music video, I haven’t seen the script yet. Do you have it with you, Director Li?” Qiao Xiaren squinted, his mind replaying the scene of Si Limo’s departure.
After the auditions, Qiao Xiaren was forcefully promoted by Li Li. He had yet to read the script, and his attention remained focused solely on “Slaying Immortal” over these past days. He hadn’t paid any attention to the music video.
“There’s no script in the car.” Li Li shook his head, confidently remarked, glancing at Qiao Xiaren in the rear-view mirror, “But, if you’ve got the right fit, you don’t need a script at all. Besides, everyone recognizes your acting skills.”[
“If Director Li is so confident, naturally I have no fear.” Leaning on the seat, Qiao Xiaren slowly took out his phone and reopened Weibo.
Li Li handed over a pair of earphones: “In light of the buzz created by the startup event, we released the previously shot trailer for ‘Slaying Immortal’. Check it out on the Hulu official website.”
“Oh?” Qiao Xiaren took the earphones, raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of interest.
Speaking of which, the creators of “Slaying Immortal” were very cunning. They had refused to release his styling photos earlier, saving it for this well-timed release of the trailer to draw media and fan attention once again.
There’s no denying that both the amount of attention and the buzz have begun to skyrocket.
“Director Li, how do you plan to thank me this time?” Qiao Xiaren turned his head and smiled. He looked so innocent, but the mockery and cool indifference in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Li Li’s eyelids twitched again, trying to disguise his embarrassment with a cough.
Too much! So shrewd, his whole body suddenly radiating an oppressive aura, Li Li felt as if he could hardly hold out.
“I’ll add a ten percent bonus to your cuts.”
The moment the words left his mouth, he felt a painful twinge. As he heard the laughter in his ear, he shivered a bit.
“Ten percent? Director Li, we can’t do this. How can we continue working happily together in the future?”
“Twenty percent, no more!” Li Li grit his teeth, the pain intensifying. Seventy percent of the proceeds was already the price for a popular first-line star.
Well, might as well treat it like hiring a first-tier star to play a secondary character. The money spent was worth it!
“That’s more like it.” Xiaren smiled faintly, a brilliant curve at the corner of his mouth.
“You cunning lass.” Li Li’s eyelids twitched continuously, yet he had a growing appreciation for Xiaren. An interesting person, who wouldn’t take the slightest loss, but had an elusive temperament.
With the issue of salary resolved, Qiao Xiaren leisurely put on the earphones and accessed the Hulu webpage. As expected, ‘Slaying Immortal’ trailer had not been uploaded for more than five minutes, but it had already quickly climbed to Hulu’s top page with a high click-through rate and comments.
Since ‘Slaying Immortal’ was a drama being filmed and broadcasted simultaneously, pre-promotion on the web was not considered too early.
A magnificent fantasy drama, a riveting love story across epochs!
Premiering formally on November 11th.
As the video began, a grandiose caption appeared on the screen.
The melodious ancient music slowly drew viewers into the first scene. A towering crimson gate, a majestic mansion with a strong aura, in front of which stood two stone lions.
There was a gentle fluttering of snow outside the mansion; this place was the Cultivation Family’s esteemed residence, the Nangong Mansion.
The Demon Immortal, originally known as Nangong Qin, and his sister Nangong Xue, were the two young ladies of the Nangong Aristocratic Family.
