Chapter 285: Many Netizens
Yan Huan looked at the comments below. She could only say that the people the Su family hired to post these comments were pretty professional. However if it was nice, it is nice. If it wasn’t nice, it wasn’t. Even though there were many comments by these netizens, the ratings of the show was there for all to see and it was last among all the shows in that time slot.
No matter how many people they hired, if the entire county didn’t buy the show, what solution do they have? Their recognition didn’t represent that of others or in another words: they were all blind.
After a few days, Yan Huan’s Please Close Your Eyes started broadcasting.
The show had a small production budget but the storyline was very eye-catching. Especially the female lead, Yu Jie’s moves. It was incredibly professional. The show aired two episodes each day and by the second day, its rating started to rise to the top. It managed to get almost 70% of the ratings while Beauty which was advertised everywhere only had 10% of the ratings. This was definitely a slap to Director Jin’s and the entire crew’s face.
The ratings for Please Close Your Eyes increased day by day. As for the show by Director Jin, even though the plot was attractive, it was too straight-forward and at the start, there wasn’t much fame and stardom attraction to the show as the female lead couldn’t act. Hence, many people gave up on it.
The director’s face got darker and darker as the days went by and he started scolding more and more people.
The pressure on Su Muran got even bigger and even though she was taking up the role of the first female lead now, she felt even though her acting was decent, she couldn’t win over the viewers.
This led to her being out of the loop even though the show was a few episodes in.
Yan Huan was the clearest and most relaxed person among the cast. In any case, it had nothing much to do with her, she was still getting paid. She wasn’t the first female lead and even if the show was bad, it wasn’t because of her.
Anyway, her other drama had reached a new viewership rating and it was due to her.
“Yan Huan, your turn.”
Director Jin yelled at Yan Huan. She stood up. She was wearing a period suit and had an exquisite make-up. She had a red dot between her brows that only brought out her beauty even further. It wasn’t too much to say she looked like a beauty from heaven.
She only appeared from episode 6 onwards. Her appearance was late indeed.
At this moment, she was lying on a mat with her lips painted red. Her eyes were slightly closed and she had a light breathing, almost as if every breath was about to take everyone’s breath away. She was tugging at their heartstrings with a simple breath.
And everywhere the melody went, everyone got drunk off of it.
“What is up? Is there anything with the lord recently?” She opened her eyes as the light gathered in them. She looked proud and elegant and there was definitely an air of arrogance around her. This arrogance wasn’t the same as Su Muran’s arrogance.
The girl at the side lowered her head and answered softly, “He doesn’t have much recently but he likes to disturb a lady.”
“Lady?” The women sat upright suddenly. A storm immediately brewed in those peaceful eyes. That man.
“Heh…” She laughed in a very cold manner.
Disturb? Why not say interested? A leopard doesn’t change its spot. I am hearing all sorts of people now.
She extended her arm and the girl immediately understood and walked over. She placed her hand under the arm of the rich woman.
She stood up and exuded elegance in every step and movement she made. Such elegance radiated from her and it made one hard to stare at.
Director Jin nodded. This was indeed Yan Huan’s acting. She was whomever she was acting.
On the other hand, Su Muran couldn’t hold a candle to her at all.
She sat in the hall as the girl quickly brought over a cup of good tea and placed it on the table.
The woman brought it up and placed the cup in her hands. No matter how she moved, one could tell that she had a good upbringing.
She wasn’t anyone else. She was the lady of the Qin Manor. She was the wife of Qin Jun, Shen Jing. She had been brought up among books her whole life and had read a lot of poetry. She had a good upbringing from one of the top families in this city.
She was ruthless and would kill without so much as a blink. No matter who Qin Jun was involved with, all those flowers would end up being uprooted by her.
“Madam, Mei Rushi is here.”
A boy ran over to tell Shen Jing respectfully.
Shen Jing extended her hand and calmly waved her hand. He understood immediately, she wanted to see her.
It wasn’t long before a few strong women dragged a young lady in.
Shen Jing placed her cup down as she closed her eyes and carefully tasted the tea in her mouth. Her red lips lifted slightly and that curve gave one a feeling of icy danger.
“Kneel!” The few women made Mei Rushi kneel down.
Mei Rushi stared deadly at Shen Jing before she gave a cold laugh.
“Yan Huan, how can you make me kneel. Who do you think you are?”
“Cut!” The director cut the scene angrily, his face was red from anger.
“Su Muran, did you read the script?”
Script? Su Muran’s body stiffened. Yes, the script. There was indeed such a scene in the script but she was the girl from the Su family. She had never kneeled in her entire life before. Why should she kneel to someone like Yan Huan?
“Director, I do not want to kneel.” Su Muran could compromise on other things but she wouldn’t give in to kneeling to another woman. She cannot bend her knees like this to kneel to someone else.
Director Jin walked over and stood in front of her. “Miss Su, if you cannot make some sacrifices as an actress, tell me, how can you act well? How can you portray your character realistically? How can you let the viewers believe it is real?”
“If it is acting, it cannot be real.”
Su Muran lifted her chin. Even if she was an actress, she wouldn’t play with her pride. She wouldn’t do things that would need her to put down her pride. Anyone from the Su family would be the same.
Director Jin’s face was white from anger. If he had a brick in his hand, he would probably throw it at her. He would keep doing so till she died.
“Replacement, find a replacement.” He turned around and ignored Su Muran. He never wanted to use such an actress again. Whoever chose her was unlucky.
