With the start of filming for "The First Abandoned Concubine," Huo Group, as a major investor, naturally took the lead in publicity. As a result, the news of the start of filming for "The First Abandoned Concubine" became the top story on Weibo and was the subject of intense media coverage.
Undoubtedly, the show generated a lot of buzz even before its broadcast. Coupled with the highly satisfactory promotional photos of the lead actors and a large readership, it would be difficult for this show not to be a hit.
The director watched the effect with a smile. It's a hit even before it's aired. That's what they mean by it.
The Huo family is indeed very wealthy. Although they have just entered the film and television industry, they have the huge Huo Group behind them, so they don't have to worry about funding. Therefore, the conditions for the production crew are also very good.
The filming location was chosen at the entrance of Haicheng's largest museum. Countless reporters scouted the location early that morning, hoping to dig up firsthand information.
Shortly after, a private nanny van stopped in front of the museum, and Meng Qianwei, dressed in ancient costume, appeared at the museum entrance.
This look of hers is the same as the look of the female lead, Fengxi, in the drama.
As soon as Meng Qianwei appeared, she attracted countless reporters who rushed over to interview her, surrounding her completely. Meng Qianwei smiled awkwardly.
"Everyone, please don't push. Qianwei is wearing ancient costume, so it's not easy for her to move around," Meng Qianwei's agent shouted from the side, but it had no effect.
The reporter, carrying a camera, snapped away at Meng Qianwei, while some minor celebrities, who were being ignored, were furious.
"Pshaw, so what if they've gone international? What's so great about that? They're just pretending we don't exist."
"They're really something else. If you're so capable, why don't you go international too?"
"you……"
"Miss Meng, today is the start of filming for 'The First Abandoned Concubine.' As the female lead in the drama, what are your thoughts?"
"Miss Meng, as a best-selling novel on major websites, are you confident in portraying the female lead in the minds of our readers?"
"Miss Meng, could you please tell us about your image of Fengxi?"
"Ms. Meng, you turned down overseas collaborations but chose to return to China to take on this drama. What benefits did the Huo family give you? After all, everyone aspires to an international platform, but you chose to develop your career in China."
"Everyone knows that the Huo Group has a high international standing, but it has never been a formal entertainment company. This drama is the first time that the Huo Group has entered the film and television industry. Will it be successful?"
"Is this why President Huo invited you back? To cast you as the female lead in the TV series and boost the ratings?"
Everyone knows Meng Qianwei's status. If she were to play the female lead in "The First Abandoned Concubine," it would definitely increase the show's exposure.
Moreover, as soon as Meng Qianwei returned to China, the news that she would play the female lead in "The First Abandoned Concubine" spread like wildfire. Now, everyone in Keweishi is looking forward to the TV series being filmed and broadcast as soon as possible.
Surrounded by people, Meng Qianwei smiled gracefully. "It was indeed President Huo who invited me back, but he didn't offer me many benefits. It was just the usual pay. I only agreed to play the female lead in this drama because of my good personal relationship with President Huo. Don't overthink it."
"As for the compatibility between Fengxi and me, everyone will understand when the TV broadcasts it. No matter how much I say, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes."
"Also, could you all please make way? Our opening ceremony is about to begin, and it might be inauspicious if we're late. How about I give you all the interviews after the ceremony?"
"Alright, let's wait until after the opening ceremony."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
The crowd parted to make way for Meng Qianwei.
