A week was quite a short period of time. However, while the majority spent it in some routine matters, there a few who could get some really meaningful and spectacular things done in that span of time. Jiang Li, as someone who had a mission in mind, could be said to be one of them. He was not only preoccupied with work, although it was what was taking a large chunk of his time.
Because most of Jiang Li"s songs had been recorded by himself before he got signed by Starlight, his alb.u.m had been released earlier. The sales were very good for a newbie. His MV was also fast climbing in views since his fanbase online was very strong. Sales -wise though, it was nothing impressive compared to other established singers.
However, the man predicted that within a month, the situation would become different. Or maybe it would not even take a month. It would all depend on how efficient Mo Fang and Liu De would be.
Qin Tai was steadily drifting apart from Mo Zan. This was because of the woman"s forceful attempts in making him help her reestablish the broken partners.h.i.+p between their families or the other partners of the Qins.
Since Liu De was currently enamored with his manager and the famous actress Mo Fang because the two had already tumbled in bed with him, he couldn"t pay much attention to most of the women he was trying to rope into his harem.
Tang Yu Yan was getting depressed and choked within the Tang family due to Selena Tang"s return but couldn"t find the male lead most of the time. This was why she could only turn to Wen Hui. Probably in her subconscious, she was treating Wen Hui as her spare tire but the man was aware of it and didn"t want to settle for that. Whenever appropriate, he would bring up how the male lead was treating her with less importance compared to his other women.
The painter and the others were doing the same. Dong Lan was excluded in this since the campus belle had not yet made a lot of contact with the male lead so his courts.h.i.+p of her was normal. The rest though, to maximize the opportunity and brand themselves more in the brain of the women they liked, they made sure to appear or give something only whenever the girls were angry at Liu De.
The boys had some degree of success. And they were already happy with it. After all, they were genuine to those girls yet had hardly received attention or chance from them. Now that the opportunity was presented, they would be a fool not to take advantage of it. They were given an inch, they would work their way into getting a mile before conquering them completely in the future.
How would Liu De fare once that happened? Well, there was a chance he would just look for others.
Jiang Li could just shake his head in distaste. In the end, the problem was the system of the male lead. The only good thing was that it was not the kind that could grant superpowers to its host, only enhancement of talents. Yet having superior talents and abilities to impress women"s heart already made Liu De cut above the rest.
On that week too, an important announcement was made.
For a reason Jiang Li didn"t bother to know, the producers and director of Selena Tang"s drama would start airing two weeks from now on. This was even though the shooting of the fourth episode was not yet finished. According to his manager, it was because the director was informed that there would be a vacant prime time slot so he hurriedly took it. Anyways, there was no problem with that decision.
Since it would be a drama aired twice weekly, with each episode having a runtime length of about an hour and thirty minutes, as long as there were at least four episodes ready, it would be fine. In any case, there were two more weeks before that, so the production team would have a lot of materials to present.
Probably, if there would be a problem, it was that there was another historical drama who would be broadcasting its pilot episode in the same week. The timeslots were the same, which meant that the two would be rivals in ratings. And like he predicted, Liu De would be starring in it.
Even now, not a few from Jiang Li"s side were already wis.h.i.+ng the male lead"s lucky streak would end… The man wanted to sneer in disdain to these people and asked them just why their faith in their own director, Director Fu, was so little.
Because the compet.i.tion was quite tough, the promotion had officially started. The important people in the crew were called in for a pictorial. The result came out this week as well, actually. And to Jiang Li"s surprise, the teaser too. As he heard a familiar voice and melody from its background, he felt like calling his good CEO friend to ask him if he was taking revenge against him.
"So in this world, songs can be OSTs even without the permission or written signature of the copyright holder?" When he found out, the thought just crossed his mind. The piece he heard was not one of the sad love songs he begrudgingly wrote for Mo Fang so he was still the legal owner of those.
It took him a few whiles to calm down. He repeatedly told himself this was a fictional world, born from the imagination of an author. Look, Youtube which had been banned in the country from the modern world he had been was thriving here! That was simply one of the proofs.
Anyways… moving forward from that.
Apart from busying himself with real work-related stuff, there was one thing he never forgot, apart from taming a lioness.
…
Two days ago, when Jiang Li"s MV officially premiered.
Mo Fang drew a huge breath upon receiving a tag from one of her non-celebrity friends. When the notification flashed on her phone"s screen, she tapped on it, leading her to a page that was actually shared with her.
Her eyebrow rose when she saw a guy in his late twenties or early twenties wearing a white suit. Only the side of the face could be seen since on the paused screen with the t.i.tle of the song and the name of the singer, he was sitting in front of a black piano. However, that smooth, fair, seemingly poreless side which she wondered if had gone through photoshop, was enough to captivate the eye. There was no doubt that the person could only be handsome. This was despite the unusual shade of the upper part of the man"s head. It was a glossy dark blue which glimmered like the sapphire stud earing he was wearing.
"Who is this? Why is the side profile giving me a sense of familiarity?" She knitted her beautifully drawn eyebrows, creating a few creases on her smooth forehead that did not really take away any of her beauty.
