Chapter 724: The Stepmother (28)
The filming of this drama went extremely smoothly, without any other mysterious problems. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. When filming finally wrapped up, Wen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was saying goodbye to Shen Die, emerging from that terrifying state, and returning to her sunny and beautiful self. She would never dare to take on a script like this again, but she might never encounter a script like this again.
After filming wrapped, Wen Wan gave each actor a large red envelope, after all, they had all worked really hard.
Then the post-production editing began, with the director, screenwriter, and Wen Wan all overseeing it.
Half a year passed like this.
During this period, Wen Wan did not take on any work. The entertainment industry's popularity changes very quickly, and her popularity gradually faded away.
The agent was also anxious.
But Wen Wan wouldn't listen, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't control Wen Wan's behavior at all. So, after the filming of this drama ended, just as he was preparing to find work for Wen Wan, she started to take a vacation.
They don't even leave their homes, let alone go to work.
The agent was on the verge of tears.
Only Gu Qian could understand Wen Wan's condition. Gu Qian was the person closest to Wen Wan, and he had been keeping a close eye on her condition during this time.
Even being attracted to this person.
Gu Qian had doubts and aversions, and even avoided meeting Wen Wan, going on business trips and filling his time with work, but it was all in vain. That figure would still appear in his mind and haunt him.
Wen Wan had no idea how many earth-shattering changes had taken place in the male lead's mind. After filming ended, she began to indulge herself in a life of leisure.
Soon after, the poster for "Night Butterfly" was released, officially announcing the cast.
As the female lead, Wen Wan immediately attracted all the attention, and many people were shocked and began to check the production quality of the show.
Apart from Wen Wan, who is well-known, the rest are all unknown nobodies.
The director is actually a short film director with no other works to his name, and the screenwriter is a nobody with no reputation.
Moreover, it's a web series, only available on online platforms.
The platform it was launched on was a small, poorly made video platform.
Moreover, apart from the initial buzz surrounding the withdrawal of funding from the show, it had been quiet since then. But now, not only has it been filmed, but it's also finished filming. No wonder Chen Qian hasn't made any moves for so long; she's actually filming this substandard product.
The haters instantly went wild, Wen Wan was relentlessly mocked, and the negative articles they bought couldn't be suppressed even by her agent.
Fans were somewhat disappointed, and many even unfollowed the show. Casual viewers were also confused. However, the web series did gain attention, even though no one was optimistic about its success.
Wen Wan didn't care.
Every day he ate and slept, and Gu Qian cooked all three meals.
Wen Wan was surprised by this. How could this domineering CEO suddenly be so virtuous? Wen Wan was also worried that something was wrong, so during lunch that day she blurted out, "Are you very free? How is the company? I don't think I did anything to upset you, did I? Or is there something I did wrong?"
Although the food wasn't poisonous after being eaten for two days, the act itself is still quite frightening.
Gu Qian: "The company is developing very smoothly, and you haven't done anything wrong."
"Then why..."
"You're doing this for yourself. I went to the hospital for a stomachache recently, and because I don't eat on time, my stomach problems are quite serious. So the doctor advised me to eat on time. If you don't like that, I'll—" Gu Qian was interrupted by Wen Wan before he could finish speaking.
"I like it, I really like it."
Now that there were no more doubts, Wen Wan began to enjoy her three meals a day.
Even Xiaoya, who often came to visit Wen Wan, was amazed by her brother's cooking skills and didn't want to go home at all.
Even after Gu's mother found out that her son was cooking, she would come back for meals every two or three days. Wen Wan had no objection, and neither did Gu Qian.
To be honest, when Wen Wan looked at this family while eating, she thought, "Without Gu's father, the Gu family is even more harmonious, isn't it? If they also lost their stepmother, they would be an even more harmonious family."
But it's impossible to reduce the number of people; Wen Wan still needs to stay here to complete her mission.
Since the old man wasn't around, she didn't care.
I was idle for more than a month, during which I took on an endorsement advertisement shoot.
"Night Butterfly" has also been scheduled for release. Because it is a web series, the review process is relatively lenient and quick.
After learning that her drama was going online, Gu's mother immediately took the whole family to watch it on time, and even bought Wen Wan a lot of gifts.
Gu Qian was also there.
Not only Gu Qian, but even Shen Yang was there. Gu Qian's mother had invited them, clearly wanting to match her son with Shen Yang.
She even had Shen Yang sit next to Gu Qian, and several times she looked at Wen Wan, asking her to help. Wen Wan felt that Gu's mother was a lucky star on her mission path, and this was simply helping her.
So they started constantly bringing up topics.
For example, asking Shen Yang if he has a boyfriend and what kind of person he's looking for implies that someone like Gu Qian might be suitable.
Shen Yang blushed shyly, but Gu Qian remained oblivious to her charms and didn't move an inch.
Wen Wan was exhausted by the end, and just then, her TV drama started, which made her feel awkward.
After all, it's really strange to watch your own TV series with a bunch of other people.
So he made an excuse to go to the toilet and went there to watch the phone by himself.
She quickly became immersed in the plot. In fact, Wen Wan felt confident after watching just one episode, and when she went online, she found that it was indeed a sure thing.
Because Wen Wan is inherently prone to causing trouble, the moment this drama was released, it attracted a lot of attention from both fans and haters. Even casual viewers were curious: having acted in Director Chen's film, she was now going on to act in a web series. What was the magic behind this web series?
However, after watching the first episode...
Everyone was so engrossed in the story that the first episode ended before they even had a chance to get enough. Because it was a web series, to maintain its popularity, one episode was released every other day, for a total of twelve episodes.
Passersby are praising the show online, as are fans. Haters are trying to find fault, but so far they haven't found anything to criticize. The acting is superb, the production quality is excellent, the plot is novel, and even the supporting actors' performances are very good.
The only thing to criticize is that this is a small web series.
However, casual viewers didn't care. Many people became hooked after the first episode, but because the platform was too small, its popularity, while rare for such a small platform, couldn't compare to dramas on other large platforms.
Wen Wan didn't care.
When I came out of the bathroom, the first episode had ended a long time ago. Gu's mother and Shen Yang had already left, and only Gu Qian was sitting on the sofa.
Did you fall into the toilet?
Wen Yan: "Constipation."
Gu Qian: "..."
"My mom asked me to tell you that you acted very well."
"Thanks."
Wen Wan sat down next to Gu Qian and finally couldn't help but ask, "Gu Qian, what kind of girl do you like? You can tell that Shen Yang likes you a lot, and you two are childhood sweethearts. Plus, Shen Yang is beautiful and has a great temperament. You two are a perfect match."
