Chapter 562 - Can You Leave a Way Out for the Haters? (1/2)
The publicity team at Guangying Media continued monitoring the data and they focused on monitoring the real-time ratings for the drama.
After looking at the ratings for the first two episodes of <Nameless Orphan>, Shen Yichen called Jiang Yuning immediately before congratulating her for gaining her victory in her first battle.
No matter how amazing or beautiful the drama was, it was simply not eye catching enough to be compared to the other youth idol dramas. However, since it was a historical drama, it was already a huge achievement to be able to achieve this kind of results.
Jiang Yuning had also been following the online trends ever since the broadcast of the first episode.
After observing everyone’s reaction, Jiang Yuning roughly knew what the result was and she knew that everything was under control. Therefore, Jiang Yuning was very calm and composed when she received the phone call from Shen Yichen.
“After everything that has happened, I have to say that your combat experience is pretty amazing. I guess there is really nothing else that would surprise you anymore, right?”
“This is not I was hoping for, Director Shen. What I hoped for was for the audience to trust in any drama or movies that I am in when they see my name in future. I was not compelled to use this matter just because I want this drama to be a success. I want people not to feel disgusted when they see my name in future. Therefore, I feel as though this was a complete failure,” Jiang Yuning replied in a serious manner as she spoke to Shen Yichen over the phone.
“Take it slow,” Shen Yichen replied as he smiled.
“I am fine. Do you think we can keep this rating up? The audience have yet to see the follow-up plot. Therefore, I think that the real test is yet to come. No matter what method we use to attract the audience to start watching the drama, the only way we can keep them watching until the end is if there was a full and excellent plot and acting performance.”
The conversation between Shen Yichen and Jiang Yuning did not last long but Jiang Yuning said a lot throughout the entire conversation.
Shen Yichen could feel how ambitious Jiang Yuning was and he seriously hoped that Jiang Yuning would be able to rise up in her career. He knew that Vera and the Ginger Candies would be feeling the same way as he was.
When he saw Jiang Yuning putting down her phone, Lu Jingzhi patted the empty spot on the bed next to him before he said, “Come, it’s time to sleep.”
Jiang Yuning climbed into bed and laid down obediently beside Lu Jingzhi before she said, “Second Brother, I saw you secretly watching <Nameless Orphan> just now.”
“I was not watching it secretly. I was just watching it,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he turned off the lights.
“Then…”
“The person in the drama is not the Jiang Yuning that I first knew in the beginning. What I meant to say is…you are not the same actress as you were at the start of your acting career. I did not watch the dram because I wanted to find out about Li Zhimong’s history, nor did I want to find out whether she really had a son or not. The only reason why I watched the drama is just because I want to see if Jiang Yuning’s acting skills were as bad as people made it out to be.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but laughed out loud as she pinched Lu Jingzhi’s nose gently. “Are you also one of the haters?”
“I love you…to the depths of my heart.”
…
After a long night, the people on the forum were still talking about the drama.
They were initially so focused on writing negative and hate comments about Jiang Yuning but somehow, they turned out to become Jiang Yuning’s stepping stone instead. After all, they were the ones who started posting screenshots of the drama in the first place.
[Hahaha. I really want to laugh very badly now. I heard that the haters were trying really hard to pull Jiang Yuning down today but did you see what happened? It feels as though Jiang Yuning managed to overcome all of the criticisms and insults today.]
[Please do not laugh too much! Even though I am also as happy as you, I really did not expect the passers-by to defeat the haters just like that. The haters can try as hard as they want but Jiang Yuning is really too awesome!]
[How could this be? What went wrong? I was a hater when I first stumbled upon Jiang Yuning but after the past few days, the more I watched Jiang Yuning’s acting and performance, the more I feel that I was completely wrong!]
[Jiang Yuning seemed very patient and tolerant, but who would have expected her to be fighting back in the background?]
[I really did not expect her to be thinking of ways to use us to turn things around when we were all busy discussing how we were going to criticize and humiliate her. Damn it. We lost to her again!]
[To think that we actually thought that she had already given up a few days ago! After all, it was natural for the ratings of a historical drama to be lower than any other dramas. Am I really the only one who could not turn my head away after watching the first episode of the drama?]
