Chapter 129: Throwing Money is Useful
"Did you do this?"
In the video call, both of them spoke at the same time.
Then they looked at each other and laughed.
This was also the first time Ye Mengyu had seen such a scene. Having been a fangirl for half her life, she thought she had seen everything.
Turns out not yet.
The entertainment industry always refreshes her understanding.
Regarding this matter, neither of them suspected that the other was lying. There was really no need to do these little tricks, which were cheap.
It should be freeloading.
Although everyone hates traffic, they will secretly try to get it more than anyone else when they have the chance.
"Is everything going well for you?"
Ye Mengyu skipped the previous topic and continued to maintain her image as a considerate and gentle wife, caring about Mr. Jiang's work.
"Not bad. I met with the creative team this afternoon and had dinner together tonight. We'll start the reading tomorrow, and after the opening ceremony this afternoon, we'll do the reading and auditions while we get our costumes fixed. How about you? Are you tired? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mr. Jiang is no less impressive, portraying the image of a loving and perfect husband without a trace of incongruity.
"Not tired. I went to the school today to see Teacher Gao. The new students are starting school, and the teacher is very busy. She hasn't been teaching for the past two weeks. The production team has been generous and rented a villa on the street next to Corning Hospital. They're setting up the set, and filming will start almost next week."
Talking to each other about the itinerary.
"Who do you want to invite as a guest?"
"Yes, Senior Zhu. He just won a music award, so he's going to be a big attraction. If he participates in the show, he can also directly dispel the rumors."
The first half of the sentence made Mr. Jiang feel blocked in the heart, but the second half made him feel relieved.
"It doesn't matter to me. If you want to blur the truth and set a trap for them, I can cooperate."
Pretending to be magnanimous.
"No, no, no, I'm married with kids, so I can be shameless. Senior Zhu is still single, which affects his chances of finding a partner. Uncle and Aunt Zhu will definitely come to my house to accuse me. I can't afford to offend them."
"Um."
Mr. Jiang expressed satisfaction with Ms. Ye's attitude.
After chatting for a while, someone called and said Mr. Jiang was very busy, so we hung up.
Ye Mengyu continued to read the script, having already read it over ten times. Every time she read it, she felt more emotional and empathized with the protagonist. She also gained some new insights into the supporting characters.
I have already written biographies of several characters, not just the heroine's, but also the hero and supporting characters.
If you feel that a part of the plot is not going smoothly or you have new ideas, you can discuss it with the screenwriter and director. Sometimes it is okay to cut some of the heroine's scenes, as it serves the plot.
Her principle is that as long as the show is a hit, as the lead, she will reap the biggest rewards. Her role doesn't matter.
Due to the hot search, the search volume for the original novel increased dramatically. By the evening, it had been read hundreds of thousands of times, and a large number of readers left messages and reviews.
Ye Mengyu also went to browse.
As an old reader who often reads online articles, his comments are very sharp and there are many meaningful suggestions with different ideas. He evaluates the characters and plot of the novel from different perspectives.
Very enlightening.
She asked the editor and director to watch it together and then discuss it together. It was very interesting.
The discussion was so heated that before we knew it, it was already late at night.
If I hadn't been so hungry that I got up to have a snack, no one would have noticed and we would have chatted for hours.
"Shameless! He chased me to the film and television city and used the time difference to freeload on the dinner. Mr. Jiang is also unlucky. Why do all the freeloaders he encounters use the same tricks?"
Xiaoqi came home in the morning and started mumbling.
"Have you used your connections to find out if Zhou Xuran has any interactions with Su Lan? Maybe he's the apprentice brought up by Sister Su."
Ye Mengyu's mentality is much more stable.
Last night, Zhou Xuran rushed back to the film and television city overnight. She was the leading actress in that gay drama, which was also being filmed in the film and television city.
I could have just joined the crew, but something went wrong and I went straight to Tieguodun after getting off the plane where Jiang Fanyu and the main creative team were having dinner in the evening.
Jiang Fanyu and his group had just left, and her team even booked the same private room.
Then marketing accounts, paparazzi, and illegitimate fans all joined in, and the order list was leaked, as well as the waiter's undercover recording. It was all in the same private room.
The scandal went further.
Her method is even more difficult to clean than Su Lan's, where she beats him every other day.
It's also different from the production crew dinner, where the director was able to post photos to clarify the situation. This time, there were no group photos, so any photo posted could be seen as a deliberate omission. They can justify it anyway.
Some fans leaked the menus of two groups of people, but that’s useless. There are no signatures, so who can prove that they are two groups of people?
There's no surveillance footage, so it's impossible to release it. If businesses were to release surveillance cameras, they wouldn't have to operate their businesses. Who would want to eat there if they have no privacy?
This is a very low-end way to gain popularity.
But not everyone can operate it.
First of all, the person who is trying to gain free rides must be able to control the reviews. This can be done by having both financial resources and traffic.
Secondly, the person whose traffic is being copied must have a lot of traffic. If the traffic is small, it is not worth copying.
Both points are indispensable.
Otherwise, if you can't control the comments, even if you get a lot of traffic, the other party will be scolded to death by fans.
If you meet these two conditions and are thick-skinned, you can get it.
Those with large traffic who are selected can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
It's not good for anyone to openly fall out, not even Jiang Fanyu. If they do, Zhou Xuran will retaliate with a big gift package of misogyny, which will be enough to make him suffer.
Ye Mengyu has seen this kind of method many times.
Just take advantage of it. If the man doesn't cooperate, all you get is black traffic.
Although black and red are also red.
In the end, it all comes down to the work. Without the support of the work, netizens are not fools. Just like Su Lan, when fans said her sister was pregnant, she immediately announced it. Niannian said that she had been pregnant for three years but still hadn't given birth.
You can only make yourself a joke.
If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something happens, all the sins you have done will come back to bite you.
"I asked, sister, guess what?"
Xiaoqi is mysterious.
They have an assistant group, and there are also some costume and makeup staff in the group, so they are quite well-informed.
"What's going on?"
Ye Mengyu cooperated.
"The one with a relationship with Su Lan isn't Zhou Xuran, but Xia Luosu. A few years ago, before her official debut, Xia Luosu guest-starred in Su Lan's group, playing her maid, and then the two became besties. Xia Luosu wanted Su Lan's popularity, and often showed off their photos together on Weibo. Su Lan also wanted Xia Luosu to be rich, so he always received expensive gifts from her, such as brand-name bags.
It was said that Xia Luosu had originally wanted to use this trick, but Xia Luosu's family was afraid of offending President Jiang and affecting the company, so she was hesitant and was choosing another candidate. Zhou Xuran used it first.
The two of them seemed unhappy right now. A girl from the costume department said she saw them arguing backstage. Xia Luosu called Zhou Xuran a thief, but Zhou Xuran said the method was public and she could use it if she wanted.
Later, I don’t know how we got back together. Today, we even ordered takeout together.”
Oh, you even know what other people eat for lunch?
Awesome.
"Dear classmate Xiaoqi, do I have no secrets in your group?"
Xiao Qi quickly shook her head, "How is that possible? We're an anonymous group. People who ask about you ask about your news, gossip, and what you eat and wear.
There were also people nagging about insignificant things, like how you didn't actually order takeout from a big hotel like Xia Luosu did for every meal, but instead had the production team arrange everything for you. Or where a certain piece of clothing was custom-made, and how expensive it was.
The key information, no one said. Otherwise, how can I justify the many red envelopes from you and Mr. Jiang?
We have a strong sense of professional ethics. Only unpopular artists with bad character will be targeted by negative news.”
Swallow, it seems that throwing money around is still useful.
