Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 1086 - 622: An Era Belonging to Her Alone (Part 3)

Yu Wenzhou was somewhat surprised to think, could it be that Lew Qingqing really recognized his talent?

Lew Qingqing laughed and said, "I think I’m quite in tune with you, director."

Yu Wenzhou was overjoyed to hear these words.

On the other side, the male lead—also a rookie actor, hasn’t even graduated from university yet—listened to Lew Qingqing’s words and thought to himself, could you not feel in tune with this Yu Wenzhou? On set, he listens to everything you say and follows your ideas entirely in shooting this drama.

...

"Ha, hasn’t she quit the entertainment industry yet?"

Su Yan raised an eyebrow immediately upon hearing the news that Lew Qingqing’s new drama was about to launch, and sneered.

"She just had a child, is a single mom, why would she quit the entertainment industry," He Ting laughed, "Though she’s reduced to shooting such a low-budget web drama like ’Heart Palpitating,’ really down-and-out. Clearly, no good projects are coming her way now."

Su Yan enjoyed mocking Lew Qingqing, but upon hearing He Ting say so, she became displeased and said, "She at least accepted director Zhong Heping’s new film; she might even win an award."

He Ting said, "If you wanted the role at the time, it wouldn’t have been hers."

She thought, it wasn’t like you were willing to make such sacrifices.

"Now ’Linjiang Immortal’ is doing well, if it doesn’t flop later, there’s a big chance it’ll explode," He Ting said, "The feud between you and Xu Siyao stirred up quite a bit of news, which people are quite interested in, having a significant effect in drawing attention to this drama."

"Don’t they just love watching actresses fight with each other?" Su Yan sneered.

He Ting: "Anyway, the platform now wants us to shoot a second season of ’Linjiang Immortal,’ and I think it’s quite good; this drama is clearly going to explode, shooting a second season would maintain the popularity for a long time."

"Second season? Collaborate again with that little brat Xu Siyao?" Su Yan frowned immediately, "I do not want to act in a drama with her again."

"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely still be the top billing, the lead actress," He Ting smiled and said, "No matter how much she jumps about, you’re the first lead of this drama, and she can’t match your pay."

Hearing He Ting say this, Su Yan was swayed again.

"You’ve been gaining momentum these past two years, if you can maintain it, you’ll be firmly in the top tier," He Ting said, "Look, Yu Sitian’s ’Dragon Ascending’ is also preparing for a second season."

"’Dragon Ascending’?" Su Yan was somewhat surprised, "Even such a domestic drama can have a second season?"

"Its ratings are high," He Ting said, "Yu Sitian’s popularity has soared significantly. You shouldn’t follow Lew Qingqing’s lead; look at her, a few years without any decent roles, and she’s done for, soon abandoned by the producers—it’s too realistic."

Su Yan waved her hand: "Let’s wait until ’Linjiang Immortal’ finishes airing; I don’t lack roles, is it impossible for me to get a hit from other dramas? And, Sister Ting, you promised to help me land a film role, where’s the script?"

"I’m contacting them for you," He Ting replied with a smile.

Su Yan pursed her lips impatiently.

"No matter how many TV dramas I act in, nobody cares; it still needs to be films," Su Yan said.

He Ting didn’t respond.

After a moment, as if suddenly remembering, she said, "’Mother’ is premiering tonight too."

Su Yan curled her lips dismissively, obviously not thinking much of this drama.

In her view, this drama is just the sunset work of a once-famous old Movie Queen.

...

"This is a free-for-all."

Jiang Yuzhen joked.

Zhou Yun looked at Jiang Yuzhen unexpectedly.

"How long has this circle been this lively? Is it some kind of good time lately, with all these dramas aligning to premiere in this slot?" Jiang Yuzhen teased, "Even Sister Hongyu’s new drama is joining the fun."

"These days, many friends around me are recommending ’Dragon Ascending,’ and I’ve heard a lot of discussions about ’Linjiang Immortal,’ and now Sister Hongyu’s new drama is about to air—my friends are like they’re celebrating a festival," Jiang Yuzhen said, "If ’Mother’s ratings also break 1, that’ll be three dramas in the same time slot breaking 1 in ratings—it’s been many years since such a spectacle happened."

Zhou Yun understood Jiang Yuzhen’s implication.

She smiled.

"Yuzhen, are many people around you anticipating ’Mother’?"

"Of course, you don’t know how popular Zhang Hongyu was among our generation," Jiang Yuzhen said, "Basically, she was the top celebrity."

"That incredible?"

"Yes," Jiang Yuzhen said, observing Zhou Yun, "Just like you now; every drama aired, got popular, every movie made, won an award—it was practically her era."
