[The short drama "The Invincible Noble Lady" becomes the dark horse of the month, ranking first!]
[The success of "The Invincible Noble Lady" is a testament to its popularity; lead actress Jiang Ruoqin's crying scenes are phenomenal!]
[This is the first time I've truly experienced Jiang Ruoqin's superb acting skills!]
[Reborn and back, she can portray a vengeful, ruthless character without even wearing black eyeliner! Amazing!]

[I finally understand Jiang Ruoqin's beauty and acting skills]
[Actor Qi Jingfeng makes a cameo appearance in "The Invincible Noble Lady"; the young prince is truly noble]
Almost everywhere, the trending topics were about "The Invincible Noble Lady". The popularity of this short drama has brought all sorts of praise to the main creators and actors.
Xia Mian also saw a trending topic about screenwriters.
She raised an eyebrow, and just as she had predicted, her first short drama as a screenwriter was a great success.
The short drama market is just beginning, unlike the two years before her death when short dramas were everywhere, with various companies vying for resources and users.
"Mianmian, you're amazing!" Jiang Ruoqin wanted to hug Xia Mian and kiss her a few times. "Hurry up and write! Get the new drama written quickly. I'll play the female lead again!"
Xia's Entertainment didn't even consider the resources for this short drama, especially since Jiang Ruoqin had personally funded and organized the production team.
"It's already in progress, in about a week," Xia Mian chuckled. "What? Can't wait?"
"Of course!" Jiang Ruoqin smiled broadly.
"Those arrogant idiots in the company thought web series were beneath them, but Mianmian, I listened to you, I believed what you said. I took this short series! I acted in it! Now I'm famous!"
The current stage in the industry is still that acting in web dramas is considered a downgrade, as if acting in web dramas is shameful and disgraceful.
Jiang Ruoqin is both famous and infamous, constantly being told by haters to get out of the entertainment industry and subjected to relentless online attacks.
Xia Mian immediately persuaded her to act in a short drama, and Xia Mian personally wrote the script. With her experience from her previous life, Xia Mian quickly wrote a script for a 40-episode short drama.
Short dramas are filmed quickly, and the focus of the plot is on being exciting, fast, and melodramatic!
Jiang Ruoqin's acting is on point again; this is definitely a high-quality short drama!
"Don't worry, it'll become even more popular in the future." Xia Mian was quite happy, and then asked her, "After it becomes popular, will Xia's Entertainment receive any revenue sharing?"
“Of course!” Jiang Ruoqin looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling refreshed. “Although I am an artist under Xia’s Entertainment, when I signed this short drama contract with you, I listened to you and only gave Xia’s a one-time economic buyout commission.”
"They looked down on my short drama project, thinking it was only worth 100,000 yuan, and that they'd make a profit by taking 50,000 yuan. Haha! Now the drama is a hit!"
“If the show becomes a hit, the platform will give my company a share, and then I’ll give you a share.” Xia Mian was happy just thinking that the three Xia brothers wouldn’t get a share of the show’s success. “Qinqin, don’t worry, you can terminate your contract and come to our company later.”
"The penalty for breach of contract is too expensive!" Jiang Ruoqin said dejectedly. "I'd like to terminate the contract, but who wants to spend every day with that bunch of rotten fish from the Xia family!"
"It's okay, if you release two more short dramas, you'll be able to pay the breach of contract penalty." Xia Mian said a few more words to Jiang Ruoqin and then hung up the phone.
Zhao Baoqi, listening from the side, was completely confused. "Mianmian, what are you talking about? What short drama? What's going on? A company? When did you start a company?"
She was incredibly curious!
"Um... I recently registered a film and television company that specializes in short dramas. Currently, there are only a few people in the company." Xia Mian extended her hand to Zhao Baoqi. "Baoqi, would you like to join our Muqiwei Company?"
"Yes, of course I'm willing!" Zhao Baoqi's eyes lit up. "Short dramas? I think I've seen them before, but there aren't many short dramas, right? Everyone seems to be making web series... web movies?"
She grasped Xia Mian's outstretched hand. "If I join, what will I do? What can I do? Can I play the female lead? Or a mistress? A slut? A scheming, manipulative woman? I can do any of those! I really want to play a stepmother!"
Zhao Baoqi became more and more excited as he spoke, "Mianmian, how are you so amazing? I'm about to cry! Mianmian!"
These are all areas that Zhao Baoqi has never been exposed to before!
But Xia Mian did it! Xia Mian even wanted to take her with her!
“You have money! You can act if you want, but start with supporting roles, hone your skills for a while, and then you can play the lead role when you feel like it.” Xia Mian pinched Zhao Baoqi’s little nose. “Baoqi, believe me, you can do it.”
She sent the link to the short drama "The Invincible Noblewoman" directly to Zhao Baoqi on her phone.
"It was this short drama that became popular, starring Jiang Ruoqin."
"Jiang Ruoqin? That female celebrity with a terrible reputation? She seems to be mortal enemies with the movie star Qi Jingfeng!" Zhao Baoqi usually enjoys reading entertainment gossip.
"Haha!" Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh. "They're a married couple."
And judging from Qi Jingfeng's attitude, he's absolutely in love with it! He loves it to bits!
Zhao Baoqi felt that this world was surreal!
"I'll ask Qinqin out later, and the three of us can have dinner together." Xia Mian's eyebrows curved into smiles, her beautiful eyes full of laughter. She was just waiting for the platform's settlement at the end of the month.
However... she has other ideas in her mind now.
For example, to build a short drama platform, short dramas are still cooperating with large platforms, including web dramas, which are also cooperating with large platforms and long drama platforms.
Specialized short drama platforms offer greater targeting!
So without a second thought, she immediately began to arrange this matter.
Based on her past life's experience and the potential for future opportunities, she became increasingly excited.
We immediately started working on registering and building the short drama app.
The data for "The Invincible Noble Lady" is truly amazing.
Many entertainment companies are amazed by its popularity, but also very dismissive, believing that short dramas are just a flash in the pan, that they are a downgrade for celebrities, and that they are not the right path!
Xia Mian was relieved that these large companies did not get involved.
They are aloof and disdainful of this lower-tier market, which they consider beneath them.
This gave Xia Mian an opportunity!
Many students at school are watching "The Invincible Noble Lady". After all, compared to watching a TV series where you can only watch one or two episodes a day, or sometimes only four episodes a week, a short drama is released in its entirety!
If you become a member, you can watch a short drama series in a day, which is incredibly awesome!
It's addictive! It goes perfectly with rice!
Xia Mian pressed her advantage and immediately gave Jiang Ruoqin the script she had written to sign. She was determined to make Jiang Ruoqin the queen of short dramas!
