Paying wages is secondary; the key issue is that my wife is now incredibly enthusiastic about her work and completely indifferent to him.
Rong Qing: My heart is breaking.
Lu Qingyan laughed and jumped into his arms, kissing him on the chin: "Be good, after I get the trophy, we'll live happily ever after."
"Aren't you going to continue developing in this industry?" Rong Qing raised an eyebrow.
"No, thank you." Lu Qingyan shook her head: "When we open the studio, let's focus on promoting newcomers and do behind-the-scenes work."
She added, "If you don't want to, we can go back to the place where I first met you, help your uncle and aunt with their work, and pass the shop down."
Rong Qing smiled and put his arm around Lu Qingyan, saying, "No rush. Mom and Dad are still in good health, and they don't want to leave the jobs they love. We can stay here for a while longer, and go back when they're ready to go on a trip."
"good."
Lu Qingyan felt that her acting skills were good, and she could usually get a movie in three takes.
But things didn't go as she expected. Her first starring film, "Autumn Wind," didn't become a big hit as she had anticipated. Instead, it flopped, with dismal box office revenue. As a result, even the third and fourth female leads stopped seeking out Lu Qingyan.
The plot was good, and the acting was decent, but the box office results were like a dream, plummeting to the bottom.
The incident has caused a great uproar online.
[See, see, I told you this woman has absolutely no acting skills. Look at the box office of her latest movie, her fans are dumbfounded, aren't they? And they're always bragging about how great she is, haha.]
[What?! I'm starting to doubt if there's something wrong with this data. The plot is really good, and the acting is quite good too, yet hardly anyone's watching. I was sitting there alone, feeling utterly dejected.]
[I went to see it too, and everything was great, but I can't quite explain why, I just really disliked the movie.]
[Hehehe, I just thought their promotional posters were so low-quality. So I went next door to see Chen Yingdi's new movie instead, it was really good. Thumbs up! Thumbs up! Thumbs up!]
[Really? I really like him too, and I wanted to go see him, but I couldn't get tickets.]
...
The comments that followed were almost entirely about Chen Yingdi's new film.
Lu Qingyan was scrolling through messages on her phone, her brows furrowed.
Just then, Shao Dongming called: "Lingxi, are you there?"
"Hmm, is there something you need?" Lu Qingyan asked, putting down the apple she had just peeled.
The person on the other end seemed to chuckle softly: "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
"No way, you're a very busy person."
"I really have something to tell you this time. I remember you made a movie called 'Autumn Wind' before. I've seen it, and you did a great job in it."
"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Shao. Although you said I performed very well, it's a pity that no one bought it. The box office was so bad that the director almost came to our doorstep."
"That shouldn't be the case." Lu Qingyan heard Shao Dongming mutter softly on the other end of the line, and she was very puzzled.
"Yes, I also find it strange."
"How about I help you investigate and see if someone is behind this?" Shao Dongming said enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Brother Shao."
"I'll let you know when I have the results," Shao Dongming said before hanging up the phone.
