Chapter 382: I am a Little Angry Now!
What was even more disgusting was the fact that the agencies of the couple who played the role of the male and female lead in the game advertisement had actually paid the gaming company to help them to manipulate Hou Da’s fans. This was so they could try and secure the roles of the male and female lead in the drama.
However, the more underhanded methods that they used, the more uncomfortable Hou Da felt about casting them for the role in the drama.
She loved all the fans of her book, but she knew that they were only reacting in this manner because they were being manipulated by a bigger force.
It wasn’t because Hou Da did not want to spoil her fans and fulfill their wishes. However, the screenplay and the production fees of <Yan Huasu> had cost her more than hundreds of millions purely on landscaping alone. Hou Da had already exhausted almost her entire net worth on the preparations for the drama and this was the reason why she would not give in when it came to casting decisions.
As news that Lin Kaiyan had been invited to take on the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu> was leaked out to the public, news about the female actress who would be playing the role of the first female lead also came to light. This was because it was rumored that Lin Kaiyan had only given up the role of the first male lead as he did not want to work with the actress who would be playing the first female lead. In the entertainment industry, it was not uncommon for any actor or actresses to look down on another party’s acting skills.
[I heard rumors stating that the role of the first female lead in <Yan Huasu> would be played by Jiang Yuning. Lin Kaiyan had directly rejected the offer to become the first male lead in the drama because he heard the news and he did not want to work together with Jiang Yuning!]
[What first female lead are you talking about? Doesn’t Hou Da know about the existing gaming love line?]
[No official announcements have been made with regards to this matter and our Empress Jiang is currently still busy filming for <Nameless Orphan>. (Smiley emoji)]
…
Later that night, Jiang Yuning had a video call with Lu Jingzhi after she was done filming her scenes for the day. As soon as she hung up on the video call, Jiang Yuning went online to check up on the recent developments and response from the fans of <Yan Huasu> gaming edition.
“Young paparazzo, can’t you go back to your own room to eat your instant noodles?” Jiang Yuning asked because she could not tolerate the slurping sounds he was making.
“Sister Yuning, the kettle in my room is broken!” the young paparazzo replied sadly, as if he had been seriously wronged.
“I am a little angry now!”
“Huh? Why? Is it because of the casting issues for the drama <Yan Huasu>?” the young paparazzo asked as he looked at Jiang Yuning, who was sitting in front of her laptop.
“Are my acting skills really that bad? Why did he turn around and run away as soon as he heard that I would be playing the role of the first female lead?”
“Are you talking about Lin Kaiyan?” the young paparazzo asked as he suddenly realized what Jiang Yuning was so frustrated about. “He can run if he wants to, but he is only creating opportunities for other people. He will definitely come to regret his decision!”
“You are right. However, it is really unbearable to be looked down on and trampled by all the netizens just because of the gaming couple,” Jiang Yuning replied in a quiet voice. She stared at the young paparazzo before she finally spoke again. “Please call Vera later and get her to look into the background of the actor and actress who played the roles of the male and female lead in the gaming advertisement.”
“Okay, I will get to it right away,” the young paparazzo replied as he held his bowl of instant noodles in his hands and walked out of Jiang Yuning’s room to get to work immediately.
