After a long wait, the premiere of "The Story of Jinshu" has finally arrived.
Under Liu Zhen's instructions, Luo Jiu edited a Weibo post about the production team and waited in front of the TV promptly at 8 p.m.
Li Li and Liu Zhen were also there.
This drama is of great significance to Luo Jiu.
The trailer has whetted everyone's appetite, and riding this wave of hype, many people will surely be glued to their TVs. There will always be those who are curious, those who are mocking, and those who are simply bored.
Among these discussions, the character Luo Jiu is undoubtedly the most talked about.
This character has generated a lot of anticipation and discussion. If it doesn't meet expectations after it airs, it will definitely be met with a barrage of criticism and negative comments.
"It's starting! It's starting!"
Chestnut placed the prepared snacks on the coffee table, then sprawled out on the sofa, looking quite content.
The opening theme song, which was a fan-made song written by a fan of the original work, due to budget constraints. However, the editing was excellent; Ji Liang is a very talented director who is good at highlighting the strengths of each actor.
Then, zoom in on these, and zoom in again. Every shot transition is carefully planned.
Knowing what everyone wanted to see, the director deliberately saved Luo Jiu's appearance at the very end of the first episode. A beautiful glance back instantly captured everyone's hearts.
"Hey, Ji Liang just called and said the TV series has broken 1 rating!"
Luo Jiu was a little stunned when she heard this. They've already broken 1? It was a bit unexpected.
"Sis, everyone on Weibo is talking about your photos. They've been screenshotted and shared everywhere."
Luo Jiu nodded, indicating that she had heard.
After a brief commercial break, the second episode began.
Luo Jiu plays Yueqin, a secret agent who uses her identity as a courtesan to get close to one suspect after another and kill them "gently".
She appeared in a striking red dress, breathtakingly beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Using her looks as a weapon and her smile as a sharp blade, she slew down one greedy and unscrupulous person after another.
She is like a man-eating flower, growing in the most rotten soil, nourished and watered by human corpses and flesh.
Luo Jiu's segment was very short, only 8 minutes long, but it shocked everyone.
She used her acting skills to make everyone who wanted to laugh at her lose face.
Even though Lili watched Luo Jiu film scene by scene on set, she was stunned and couldn't even taste the potato chips.
This is absolutely stunning.
I didn't think much of it on set, but now that it's been edited out, with post-production and background music, it's suddenly chilling.
"Sister, I don't even dare to look at you anymore." That smile is terrifying.
After hearing this, Luo Jiu perfectly replicated Yueqin's smile and slowly placed her hand on Lili's neck.
"Good boy, good children won't be killed."
"Aaaaaaah!"
Lili slapped Luo Jiu's hand away and wanted to get at least ten meters away from her.
Luo Jiu, standing to the side, was unusually unkind, laughing heartily.
"Ahem, the director just called again to say..."
Liu Zhen couldn't help but interrupt their playful banter. Seeing that they were intrigued, she slowly said:
"Just now, the ratings broke 2!!"
Even Liu Zhen, who is usually calm and composed, had a slightly trembling voice. What does it mean for such a small web series to have a viewership rating of over 2?
Even when top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry collaborate on a TV series, it's not guaranteed to break 2.
Furthermore, according to the illustrations sent by Ji Liang, it was entirely Luo Jiu's appearance that caused the drama's ratings to rise. This means that Luo Jiu has become a complete sensation this time!
It seems I really made the right bet this time, and got a great deal for nothing.
"Wow, my sister, you're amazing!"
Lili rushed over and hugged Luo Jiu tightly, shaking her violently, her excitement beyond words.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chestnut seemed to know who was outside the door and kept urging Luo Jiu to open it quickly.
Luo Jiu had no choice but to open the door, and saw Shen Jinchen leaning against the door frame, looking at Luo Jiu with a smile in his eyes.
"I wonder if I am not fortunate enough to have Miss Luo Jiu's time for one night?"
A deep voice rang out from Chen Jinchen's mouth, gentle and refined, yet with a hint of allure.
Before Luo Jiu could speak, Li Li swiftly pushed Luo Jiu into Chen Jinchen's arms.
"Hey, my crush, I approve! Have fun!"
Luo Jiu only heard the door slam shut, leaving her and Shen Jinchen staring at each other.
It's really embarrassing to be sold like this.
She had to force a professional, fake smile and look at Chen Jin with a forced grin. In her mind, she had already torn Li Li, that guy who valued women over friends, to pieces a thousand times over.
"Then, come to my place."
Luo Jiu had no choice but to follow Shen Jinchen back to his home.
"It's so dark, why don't you turn on the lights?"
Luo Jiu reached out and groped along the wall, trying to find the light switch.
"Smack!"
With just that soft sound, the entire room was instantly enveloped by the small yellow chandelier, creating a warm and dreamy atmosphere.
Even the path beneath Luo Jiu's feet was surrounded by shattered chains of lights, leading to... utter desolation.
This unexpected surprise left Luo Jiu both astonished and curious.
She was wearing slippers and slowly walked towards Chen Jinchen.
It was only then that I noticed that Shen Jinchen seemed a little different today. He was wearing a pair of round glasses with gold-rimmed frames on his high, straight nose.
She appears more alluring and refined, yet also more of a suave scoundrel.
What happened?
Without saying anything, Shen Jinchen gently kissed Luo Jiu's hand, then pulled out a nearby chair, displaying impeccable gentlemanly manners.
Luo Jiu felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at her T-shirt and shorts, she didn't look like she was about to eat steak, and felt inexplicably reserved.
On the table were red wine, steak, and candlelight. This was a classic candlelight dinner.
Shen Jinchen carefully and gently cut the steak in front of him and handed it to Luo Jiu, switching the steak in front of her with his own.
"Try it and see if you like it."
Luo Jiu chuckled twice, then suddenly stood up: "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll go ahead..."
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Chen Jinchen tapped the table lightly, the knife and fork making a jarring clanging sound on the plate.
Seeing the unfriendly look on Shen Jinchen's face, Luo Jiu was suddenly stunned for some reason.
My impression of Shen Jinchen is that he has always been calm, self-controlled, gentle and refined, and approachable; but that doesn’t mean he has no temper.
"Well, I suddenly feel that eating dinner is more important."
In short, I chickened out.
She picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth. She felt the juices burst in her mouth; the beef was incredibly tender and delicate.
This actually tastes pretty good, doesn't it?
Luo Jiu was instantly captivated by the delicious food, her eyes shining as if she hadn't eaten meat for days.
Shen Jinchen really enjoyed eating with Luo Jiu because it made him...
My appetite has returned.
