Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that her carefully planned vacation, a complete package of relaxation and relaxation, would be ruined the moment the plane landed.
Secretary Zhao called at a very inopportune time, "Mr. Lin, 'Love Under the Moonlight' is a hit! When are you coming back? We've got so many offers lately, and other platforms and TV stations have called to discuss things..."
As Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the excited voice on the other end of the phone, she had only one feeling: cold, a heart-wrenching cold, like being buried by the snow that never melts on the Himalayas.
How could it become so popular if it wasn't a melodramatic soap opera? Where did all the criticism go? It must be a hallucination. Lin Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, looked at her suitcase, and then at the bustling tourists around her. Although she felt relieved, she was still struggling with the thought that she should at least get a vacation.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao even stepped out of the airport, her brother called to congratulate her. Besides congratulating her, he also gave her an experienced person to talk to the platform.
She immediately refused, but fearing her purpose would be discovered, she could only bite the bullet and say that she would handle everything on her own.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao almost burst into tears at the airport. In the end, she gritted her teeth and booked a flight back home on the spot.
Of course, heartbroken, she didn't forget to cancel her hotel reservation. After all, she couldn't legitimately rely on her parents before ruining her next film, so saving money was always the best she could.
This melodramatic series has become a huge hit, and now domestic viewers are clamoring for two episodes a day, saying it's not enough. People from other platforms have also called to discuss co-producing "Love Under the Moonlight 2".
Lin Xiaoxiao resolutely refused the others' attempts to "kick her when she was down."
Finally, after much resistance, Lin Xiaoxiao, with inquiries from various platforms and the enthusiastic (and threatening) help of her brother, managed to sell all the broadcasting rights at a low price.
Major TV stations and streaming platforms were already prepared to cut their losses, but the broadcasting rights were priced the same as before. "Love Under the Moonlight" is currently at its peak of popularity, yet no one took the opportunity to raise prices, no middlemen made a profit, and no other additional clauses. The major platforms were moved to tears, praising Director Lin as a truly good person, and all expressed that they would definitely offer Director Lin the most generous contracts for his future new dramas.
After her brother learned about this from Secretary Zhao, he even praised her with a smile, saying, "Xiaoxiao is an artist, so she doesn't care about those material things."
When Lin Xiaoxiao heard this comment, she almost vomited blood. It was utter nonsense; money was what she truly loved.
For this reason, Lin Xiaoxiao even went to the hospital for a check-up. Thinking about the fact that she couldn't return to the wealthy family in the short term, she was determined to have a good body and fight against her "poor fate" to the end.
No matter how much Lin Xiaoxiao clings to it, the ending might be weak and unsatisfactory, and she might still have a chance if things turn out badly.
She watched as the drama, with only two episodes left, stubbornly resisted, hoping that the tragic romance would deliver a fatal blow to the audience during its final high ratings, causing the ratings and reviews to plummet.
As Lin Xiaoxiao pondered this, she clicked on her debut work. She had intended to watch a couple of episodes to find the reason, but once she started, she couldn't stop watching.
The story revolves around a complex web of love and hate between the male and female leads and supporting characters, filled with melodramatic twists and turns, even involving their parents. The wealthy heiress's parents refuse to allow the female lead to impersonate their daughter.
It was only then that they discovered that the rich heiress's car accident was actually related to her brother. The rich heiress's brother insisted on driving his newly acquired sports car to the mountains, where an accident occurred, and the surrounding area was deserted.
The wealthy heiress's brother climbed out to find help, but when he woke up again, his unconscious sister had disappeared from the car. There were no security cameras nearby, so the brother secretly found someone to take her place.
Just as the female protagonist's life was beginning to improve, her mother's newly diagnosed uremia shattered her hopes. Proud and stubborn, the female protagonist chose to bear the burden alone, thus deliberately ignoring the male protagonist.
Meanwhile, the male protagonist, who was also outstanding and proud since childhood, lost his mind and, under the command of the rich heiress as his strategist, hired her to make the female protagonist jealous.
As expected, the female lead was pushed further and further away, and the rich heiress's brother wanted to terminate the contract and be with her.
When the male protagonist realizes something is wrong, he chases after the female protagonist. The two look at each other across a bridge. On one side of the bridge are high-rise buildings and modern technology, while on the other side are dilapidated, low-rise houses clustered together in gray and green.
The seemingly sweet and tender affection between the two is enveloped by a jarring background, as if foreshadowing something.
Lin Xiaoxiao clicked on another episode, only to find that it was already the latest one. The plot was truly absurd and melodramatic, but it was also quite addictive.
In the comments section of this episode, some people have already realized that something is wrong with this sweet romance drama, but they are still deceiving themselves by thinking that since it was initially advertised as a sweet romance drama, it certainly wouldn't do anything wrong.
Don't worry, it definitely won't be a tragedy; it will definitely have a happy ending.
[Agreed, agreed. There can't be any dramas in China with unhappy endings. Think about those family dramas where, in the end, someone who isn't the main character forgives everyone who hurt them, forcing a happy ending.]
[Your words hurt me even more. My resilient female lead, whose biological parents clearly favored the rich heiress. If the screenwriter dares to force the female lead to forgive everyone in the finale, they'll be bombarded with hate mail. The female lead is the only one who shines!]
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it, then, thinking of the ending, she touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, a chill running down her spine. She suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if her personal safety was not guaranteed.
It's melodramatic but fast-paced. The stubborn, innocent girl who should have been abandoned by the times actually breaks through the encirclement in the drama with her temperament and humble yet dignified attitude. Like a brave young general, she acts as a stabilizing force when the plot is as melodramatic as it gets, keeping the tone of the whole drama stable.
The finale will be released tomorrow, but Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't fall asleep before bed, constantly replaying the episodes in her mind.
The male lead's domineering CEO declaration was so cheesy, how come anyone is still hooked? And how come when he says such hurtful and melodramatic lines later on, people still get teary-eyed, as if the male lead from the drama has come to life?
He clearly likes the female lead, but when he senses she doesn't care about him, he can't help but subconsciously hurt her with his words. Despite their similar pride and stubbornness, the male lead is willing to work things out step by step rather than give up.
The rich heiress's insane jealousy, despair, and recklessness, and the brother who can't help but be attracted to the female lead.
This stubborn, innocent female lead is also like that. All these people were just random passersby that Lin Xiaoxiao found on the street. Their acting was so awkward at first, how come they got better and better as they went on?
