“So, will I be able to receive less criticisms from the public then?” Jiang Yuning asked, pretending to be naive.
“We will have to look at the effect that the <Theory of Tea> has on the public after the first broadcast tonight,” Shen Yichen replied. It was easier to promote and increase the fame of a brand-new rookie artiste as compared to cleaning up and rebranding the reputation of an artiste who had already been blacklisted.
This was because it was useless to spend so much money and resources in generating a new image for her, with the public already having a specific, inherent impression of her. In order to create a brand new image and clean reputation for someone like Jiang Yuning, they needed to be extremely patient, because the only way to create a lasting impression on the public was to slowly accumulate positive thoughts and impressions through her actions. Therefore, it was inevitable for Jiang Yuning to suffer some criticisms at the moment.
“I was just teasing you. I understand the situation that I am in right now.”
“After the lineup of actors and actresses for the new drama is announced, it will then be necessary to start publicity of the drama by participating in different photoshoots and filming. Study your script day and night and make sure to perfect your acting. The drama production will start in less than half a month. Guangying Media is very strict and we expect all our artistes to be disciplined, so you had better not be lazy!”
“I got it,” Jiang Yuning answered as she picked up the remote control and turned on the television. “So, which channel will <Theory of Tea> be broadcasting on? What time is the programme? Wait…forget it, don’t tell me. I think it is better if I do not watch it.”
“Coward!” Shen Yichen said before hanging up the phone directly.
“My role has been snatched away, right?” Jiang Yuning asked. “In fact, after Guangying Media had officially announced the lineup of the cast on their official website, I thought that it was probably better if I did not get the role. I feel that I might invite more criticisms and negativity if I was given the role. To be honest, I feel somewhat relieved that the role has been given to someone else.”
“Chairman Gu does not know about this matter yet. He has not return to China. Jiang Yuning, I am sorry that I was unable to keep your role for you.”
“It is alright,” Jiang Yuning quickly replied. “I have already experienced this sort of situation many times in the past.” She still had a scar on her shoulder because she was burnt when Shen Ru robbed her of her role in a drama in the past. Therefore, she was already used to this kind of things happening to her.
“However, do not worry because I am already fighting for another role for you in one of Director Shen Guobang’s production. You have to have the ability to take on the role.”
“Alright then, I will meet you later in the afternoon. I have a new idea that I would like to discuss with you. I feel that this might give me many more opportunities in the future,” Jiang Yuning said to Shen Yichen.
“Okay, I will come over to the villa in the afternoon.”
Shen Yichen was distressed, but he was helpless—there was nothing else that he could do.
He had not been able to protect Jiang Yuning’s role when Gu Pingsheng was not around.
He also felt bad for Jiang Yuning because he knew how much time and effort she had spent preparing for the role of Qin Tong.
Jiang Yuning felt a little down when she thought about her situation and so, she quickly sent a text message to Lu Jingzhi. “I need a hug right now.”
“I am busy. Hugs.”
Lu Jingzhi merely replied with four simple words, but Jiang Yuning felt warmth in her heart immediately.
It was just a role in a drama anyway!
Because, she believed that there would definitely be a better opportunity in future…
