Chapter 885: Threats and Blackmail
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She had thought that it was about herself, before she lost her memory. Therein started a hilarious life reversal. She went from a pitiful girl to becoming the number one female boss in the school.
Ke Ai’ai had a Prince Charming whom she liked. He was the school’s major top scholar. He was handsome, aloof, and ranked first in the cohort. His name was Le Yu, and he was the school hunk.
Before she had lost her memory, she had not dared to talk to others. After she lost her memory, she became the alpha female instantly. Her guts grew as well. Adhering to the principle that she wasn’t afraid of anyone as the school top dog, she started to tease the straight-A Prince Charming in various ways, and many ridiculous stories happened.
Later, when she had regained her memory and after she got together with her male idol, she found out that actually, her male idol had always liked her. The notebook had also been stuffed into her bag by her male idol. It was a happy ending! It was a relaxing and hilarious comedy. The key was that it matched the current audience’s preferences—sweet and loving!
Upon hearing this, Su Xiyin smiled lovingly. “It’s good to be young. Are you acting as Ke Ai’ai?”
Ling Sheng said, “This is Sister Mei’s mission for me. I have to act in it. In the first half of this year, I will be relying on this drama to get through. It’s just an online drama. I’ll film it in a month. It’s simple.”
Actually, it was not as simple as she had mentioned. The simpler a character was, the more difficult it was to portray it. The Ke Ai’ai she was going to act as was a high school student. Frankly, it was not difficult for her to act out the liveliness, adorableness and unpretentiousness of a high school student.
However, due to policy reasons, the two of them had not revealed their relationship in high school. It was considered an ambiguous period, and they had only officially gotten together in university.
“Then, who’s the male lead? Has it been confirmed?” Su Xiyin was very interested. As long as it was a role played by her obedient granddaughter, everything was good.
“Yes,” Ling Sheng nodded. “It’s Si Chengluo. He’s the little brother of our company. His temperament and looks match Le Yu’s.”
This drama was really a mission. The company had issued a mission to increase her exposure during her preparation for the college entrance examination in the first half of the year. They wanted her to create conversation so that she would not be forgotten.
Secondly, it was to increase Si Chengluo’s exposure. After all, the proportion of people who watched talent shows in China was only so small. He had to keep increasing his exposure level and raise his level of national recognition to maintain his popularity.
This drama was just a normal drama. Even if the filming didn’t stand out, it would not be a failure. It could make one laugh and smile knowingly. It also had a sweet romance that could hit a young girl’s heart. Even if it did not explode in popularity, there would definitely be many people watching the drama nevertheless.
Of course, Su Xiyin knew about Si Chengluo too. He was an artist signed by her son’s company. She had seen him before, so she nodded in agreement. “That child is quite aloof. He’s only 18 years old though, right? He’s so much younger than you. So it’s a romance between an older woman and a younger guy.”
Ling Sheng cupped her egg-shaped face and tilted her head to look at her grandma, blinking her big eyes. In a sweet and beautiful voice, she asked, “Grandma, Grandma, how old do you think I am?”
Su Xiyin was amused by her. Her dear granddaughter had a younger-looking face, so people would believe it even if she said she was an underage high school student. “You’re 18 years old, all right? You’ll always be 18.”
Ling Sheng hugged and kissed her in satisfaction. “Grandma, you too. You’re forever young and pretty forever.”
Su Xiyin shook her head lovingly, but she was also a little worried. “Last time, the media spread rumors about you and this child Si Chengluo. Will someone raise the issues again with the two of you filming together?”
Ling Sheng sighed and spread her hands open. “There’s nothing we can do about that. Grandma, there’s a kind of collaborative relationship now called a promotional period couple. Everyone knows what’s going on.”
Su Xiyin was still worried. However, how could there be no rumors in a place like the entertainment circle? No matter what she did, she would be watched by the media. She could only tell her to be more careful when they worked together.
“Grandma, why are you looking for me?” Ling Sheng did not want to chase her away but she wanted to continue reading the script!
This drama would be filmed in a hurry. It was said that it would start filming on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and it would only take one and a half months. It would be released somewhere in April or April.
Then, her college entrance examination would be in June. After the college entrance examination, the screening for “My Wife” would be released as well, so it would take over nicely. There would not be a blank period in between.
She herself knew that getting her to film a drama with Si Chengluo was for the sake of creating topics and hype. They were taking advantage of each other for popularity. This was the only thing in the entertainment circle, and everyone was well-aware of it.
