Chapter 199 Postponement of Publicity
The first time Sister Meng saw Qin Xi, she thanked God and the earth. The annoying Yan Xizhao was finally gone, and the energetic Qin Xi was back.
Not to mention, Gu Chenxing is really good at this. I don’t know what tricks he used. I’ll ask Lili later.
"Sister Meng, what's with that expression on your face? Are you relieved this time~"
Sister Meng regained her composure and looked at Qin Xi again.
"Yeah, I feel much better, but... a little darker."
Qin Xi: “!!!”
Fortunately, I didn’t listen to Gu Chenxing.
Alas, despite all the precautions, the UV rays are still not protected against.
Qin Xi comforted herself and Sister Meng, "It's okay, I'll apply more whitening essence and apply facial masks frequently, and I'll be able to get my white skin back soon!"
Sister Meng heaved a sigh of relief. That was great. She now had the energy to take care of herself. She should be almost well now. Oh, but there was still a key issue.
"Are you still suffering from insomnia?"
Qin Xi rolled her eyes, "You walk 30,000 steps every day, and you still have insomnia? You fall asleep as soon as you touch the pillow, and sleep worse than a pig!"
Sister Meng held back her laughter and raised her eyebrows. The diagnosis is complete, and the patient is 100% cured!
I really want to give Gu Chenxing a banner that reads "Miraculous healing, effective medicine cures all diseases." Suddenly, an idea popped up.
"Then Gu Chenxing didn't do anything restless, did he?"
Qin Xi paused when she brought the cup of water to her mouth, took a sip, and spoke softly.
"He is not such a tactless person..."
Sister Meng laughed, "I don't know who said it a few days ago that you were afraid he would sell you out, but now you are willing to speak for him?"
Suddenly, I saw Qin Xi lowering her head, with a gloomy look on her face. After so many years of cooperation, in terms of understanding Qin Xi, Sister Meng said she was second to none. Sister Meng was keenly aware that something was not right.
"Xiaoxi, tell me the truth, are you moved?"
Qin Xi was stunned. Is he moved?
I have had it for a long time, but so what if I am tempted?
So what if I fall in love with someone again and again?
Qin Xi...had long been used to it.
"Sister Meng, you're the first agent who's so anxious about an artist's relationship problems! Can we stop talking about this? Let's talk about the official announcement of [It Happened to Be You], how was the response?"
Sister Meng was helpless. She changed the subject so abruptly. I really didn't know whether to say she was a turtle or a hedgehog? When it came to feelings, she would shrink into her shell and put up barbs. I really didn't know when this girl would let herself go and open her heart completely?
Forget it, let her be.
"Of course your fans are excited. After all, it's been a whole year since the last [New Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber], and your fans have been watching all your old dramas. Now there's finally a new one. The Weibo post you forwarded about the release date of [It Happened to Be You] has been on the hot topic list and has received over a million likes."
"What do passers-by say? What do the marketing accounts that are slandering me say?"
Sister Meng continued, "Compared to the past, there are indeed many controversies this time. Some people are skeptical about your first appearance in an urban romance film. After all, your previous costume images are too popular, and your roles are all deep and powerful. The contrast with this small romantic comedy is too great, so it is normal for the audience to have doubts. It doesn't matter. The louder the voices, the more interested the audience will be in watching the show. Whether it is good or bad, you can tell at a glance. I am not worried about this..."
"Then what are you worried about? The rumors about me and Gu Chenxing have been brought up again."
Qin Xi can figure it out with her feet, so how can some people let her new drama be broadcast peacefully? The means are exactly the same, it is really a one-trick pony that can be used everywhere. Even if you can't bite her, you have to annoy her.
Sister Meng sighed and nodded.
"That's right. The biggest controversy about [It Happens to You] is the male lead. I heard that the male lead is a newcomer with no acting experience, and he gets to play your leading role right after his debut. Not only do passers-by think it's wrong, but even your fans can't sit still. They have accused the production team of using you to support the newcomer, and the newcomer is holding you back. Now Gu Chenxing's Weibo has been flooded with a large number of black fans, most of whom are your fans..."
Qin Xi covered her face. What kind of thing is this? She remembered that when Zhou Zhiruo was broadcast, because she was the second female lead, there was constant discussion online. It was only when Qin Xi personally participated in the interview that the fans calmed down.
It's only been a year, and she's back to her old ways. I don't know if it's because it's been so long that her fans have forgotten about her, or if she has gained a new group of fighting fans in the past year.
"Driven by the popularity of the platform, the marketing accounts that had been taken down have jumped up again. Basically, they are all saying that there is something going on between you and Gu Chenxing. Wu Shuang is contacting the operations of Weibo, and our company is also controlling public opinion."
Qin Xi suddenly asked, "Is there no response from Gu Chenxing?"
Sister Meng shook her head, "No movement."
This shouldn't be the case, Qin Xi was very puzzled. With Gu Chenxing's wealth and background, he could even build a crew like "It Just Happens to You". How come he didn't react when the haters attacked him like this? This was too weird!
"Could it be that he wants to use negative public opinion to lower expectations. If he performs well and looks like that, he will be more easily accepted by the audience." Sister Meng analyzed calmly.
Qin Xi shook her head. With Gu Chenxing's pride, he couldn't think of such a trick, nor could he do it. Could it be that he had just entered the entertainment industry, his team was not mature enough, and he was caught off guard, or that he didn't care about the voices on the Internet at all?
However, Sister Meng is right, this is indeed a way to lower expectations, but whether the show can fight back after it is broadcast depends on Gu Chenxing's ability.
Qin Xi chuckled. If it was someone else, she wouldn't dare to say it, but Gu Chenxing would shock the audience more in the future. Those who spread rumors about Gu Chenxing would be slapped in the face in the future.
Who made them kick a piece of steel?
Sister Meng continued with the next topic, "During the period of [The Abyss and You], I found a lot of scripts and business opportunities... would you like to pick some?"
Qin Xi answered the question irrelevantly, "I remember that [Xiang Yangchun] should be wrapping up soon, right?"
"It's almost there, less than a month left."
Qin Xi curled her lips, "What a coincidence, it's almost the same time as the expiration of my contract with Meige."
"You can handle the business affairs. Let Lili go and gain some experience. She is a veteran in my studio and it is time for her to be able to take charge. Sister Meng, you can also help her with her review. Don't accept the script for now. I have a feeling... it's not the right time yet."
"I have been busy with many things recently. I need to recruit people for the studio. I can only trouble you, Sister Meng, to be the pioneer and I will be the backup. I urgently need a new assistant to free up Lili so that she can have the time and energy to connect with my fashion resources. As for the makeup artist, Yin Yiren is my first choice. If she really doesn't agree, I will need to interview other candidates..."
"The most important thing is to have a long-term marketing team. Sister Meng, you have a long way to go~"
The broadcast of "It's You" is getting closer and closer, and Qin Xi, who has been waiting to cooperate with the promotion, finally received a notice from the production team.
As the discussion about "It's You" has become increasingly heated online and the expected word-of-mouth has been polarized, the production team has decided to forgo holding a press conference and postpone all promotional activities until market feedback comes in before making any final decisions.
This is the first TV drama Qin Xi has filmed, in which she cannot find any memories of her past life. Everything is unknown. There are many questioning voices on the Internet now, and it would be a lie to say that she is not nervous.
But life is like chess, and you should never regret your moves. Qin Xi believes in the production team of "It's You", believes in Gu Chenxing, and most importantly, she believes in herself!
Good wine needs no bush, and what’s more, whether it smells good or not, you can tell by just taking a sip, right?
