Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The director said firmly, “Of course. The Empress’ crew next door has already made their decision. If they’re not afraid, then I won’t be afraid.”
“But, they have the movie queen there after all…” Hu Xuan voiced out his worries.
“It’s because of the movie queen that they should do their best.”
The director said, “The movie queen is indeed capable, but no one said that the movie queen wouldn’t make a mistake, right? If the movie queen made a mistake, then her viewership ratings for this episode would drop. It’s hard to say if it would affect the rest of the episodes. But in this episode, they will
definitely lag behind us.”
When the director said that, He Zhen reacted. “I know! Because Li Yue is the movie queen, if she makes a small mistake, the public will not be able to accept it.”
!!
“When that happens, the reputation of this drama will decline. And to prevent such a thing from happening, they should carefully deal with the scenes related to Li Yue and not be in such a hurry to broadcast while filming.”
The director gave He Zhen a thumbs up. “Yes! That’s what I meant!”
“But I don’t know who came up with this idea.” He Zhen said, “It’s really too daring.”
“It should be Li Yue herself.”
Jiang Yu suddenly said, “It’s impossible that she doesn’t know about these problems. So the idea that could get her approval is probably her own idea.”
That night, ‘Ruyi ‘and ‘The Chu Family’s Empress each broadcasted their first episode.
In Ruyi’, the young miss played by Jiang Yu only went through one night of wealth before she became homeless and a beggar.
Inan instant, the audience who were watching this episode were all immersed in the plot because of Jiang Yu’s superb acting skills. They could not help but feel sorry and sad for her.
In “The Chu Family’s Empress”, Li Yue played Chu Xiao who had been abused from a young age. Even when she grew up, she still lived under torture of every day.
‘When Li Yue’s fans saw the plot of this episode, they also shed tears because of Li Yue’s skilled acting skills.
After the broadcast, someone calculated the broadcast numbers of these two dramas,
the broadcast numbers of ‘The Chu Family’s Empress’ were higher than that of ‘Ruy/’.
This result was reasonable for Jiang Yu.
After all, she was a newcomer while Li Yue was already an old veteran in the entertainment industry who had won the movie queen award twice. In this aspect, she was indeed incomparable.
However, there was not much of a difference in the broadcast volume between the two. This was considered good news for the director and the entire production team.
“Jiang Yu, I thought that after the broadcast, we would be left behind by the neighboring production team by too much. I didn’t expect that the difference would be too much. This is all thanks to you.”
The director was not stingy with his praise for Jiang Yu. This made Li Lu, who was at the side, feel very uncomfortable.
‘Why was this the credit of her, Jiang Yu? Could it be that she, Li Lu, did not have any credit at all?
The more Li Lu thought about it, the angrier she got. In her heart, she swore that she would definitely be better than Jiang Yu and let the director see her own strength.
“Thank you for your praise, director.” Jiang Yu smiled.
“Actually, I’m not the only one who deserves all the credit. It’s all thanks to you, director, and the editor who could write such a good script. This is the result of everyone’s hard work. It can’t be said that it’s all because of me alone.”
“Hahahaha! Jiang Yu, don’t be so modest!” The more the director looked at Jiang Yu, the more he liked her. He thought that this year’s new actor’s award was indeed not wrong. It should be given to Jiang Yu.
Li Lu didn’t know what the director was thinking. If she knew, she would probably faint from anger on the spot.
‘When Li Yue saw the viewership ratings, she wasn’t in a good mood.
Because according to her expectations, her drama should be several streets ahead of Jiang Yu.
It couldn’t just be 0.2 points higher.
“Impossible.” Li Yue threw the ratings onto the table.
“Li Yue.” The director said in a flattering manner, “I’ve said before that it’s not okay to broadcast while filming.”
“Director, this is only the first episode.” Li Yue did not listen to the director.
“Believe me, if we continue to broadcast in the future, the viewership ratings of this drama will definitely be higher than ‘Ruyi’. Jiang Yu is just a newbie, she can’t compare to me at all.”
Her words sounded full of confidence, but the director listened from the side and was afraid that she would be in danger of capsizing.
The filming of the two dramas was still going on. Li Lu had also said that she had recovered and could continue filming.
Hence, after she was done with her preparations, she continued filming with Jiang Yu.
On the other side, Li Yue was also continuing filming. Jiang Ran was guarding her role as the third female lead and was looking forward to the day when she could be paired with Li Yue..
