Chapter 28: Frost Falls Begins Broadcasting

“Daddy, are you really acting as a bad person in the movie?” Little Youhuan was watching the TV. The opening theme song had already started playing, and she didn’t even want to blink.
“Yes, I guess so.” Song Qianming nodded.
“Will people scold you after they see it?” Youhuan frowned.
“It’s okay.” Song Qianming smiled and patted her head. “Besides, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to be scolded. If everyone comes to scold daddy, it proves that daddy’s acting is good, right?”
“Yes, it’s all fake anyway. It’s enough that I know that daddy isn’t a bad person.”
“Yes, that’s the right way to think.”
The opening song ended and the film officially began. Youhuan did not say anything else. She stared at the TV with her big eyes, unwilling to miss any scenes with her daddy.
Song Qianming also watched the drama seriously. After all, this was his first time watching the actual drama. He had to admit that there was a huge difference between the shooting scene and the actual movie, especially the special effects. When he was ‘flying’ with equipment, he thought that it was quite silly. Now that he was watching the actual drama, it was actually quite cool.
He admired his own beauty. He had to admit that Director He was indeed a director who had a lot of experience in making movies. He had a very good grasp of the sense of the screen, especially when they had shot it in real life. It was impossible to tell that this was a low-budget web drama. The texture of the images was excellent, and Song Qianming felt that this drama was going to be a hit.
At the same time, Shen Bao’er also excitedly sent out several big red packets in the group.
She even specially mentioned Director He. “I didn’t know I could be so beautiful. Director He, I think I can continue to be a celebrity. My family was praising me just now.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Director He accepted the red packet with a smile.
“Director He, do you have any plans for your next series? Do you need investment? Are you lacking actresses?” This time, Shen Bao’er didn’t directly request for the female lead. Obviously, she knew Director He’s standard. Back then, he had no choice but to film this web drama. After this drama became popular, Director He would definitely take on better resources.
With Shen Bao’er’s family background, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to be the female lead in a web drama. However, her family was a solid entity. Other than investments, they didn’t have any other resources in the entertainment industry. Furthermore, not all dramas lacked investments. If they had sufficient funds, they would want to work with an actor who was more compatible with them. That was why she didn’t say that she wanted to be the female lead.
However, in those big productions and good scripts, even the supporting characters were usually very outstanding, so it was not an insult to her, a professional web drama female lead.
Director He didn’t agree or reject directly. Instead, he chuckled and sent a voice message, “In the future, if there are any suitable scripts, I’ll definitely choose you guys first. This time, it’s all thanks to you guys. The response from the website was especially good, and this was without much publicity. You guys should get ready. We might start to get busy in a few days.”
Just as Director He had expected, not many people were optimistic about this drama. After all, the investment wasn’t big, the publicity wasn’t strong enough, and the leading actors weren’t famous either. The only one who was slightly well-known was Shen Bao’er. Who didn’t know that she acted for fun? What good drama could she produce?
Perhaps the only ones who were looking forward to this drama were the fans of the original novel. They were both afraid and looking forward to it, with the mentality of giving it a try. They didn’t expect the situation to be completely different from what they expected. This drama was actually quite good?
Moreover, the male lead was really handsome, so handsome that they didn’t dare to scold him casually. They even wondered if the ending would be changed since it was an adaptation of a web drama. After all, with such a handsome and considerate male lead, they really couldn’t imagine how he would look when he was exposed as the mastermind behind the scenes.
The original work of ‘Frost Falls’ wasn’t very popular. After all, it was completely different from the popular romance dramas and golden finger dramas. Even the ending was very sad.
However, those who liked the novel really liked it back then, so now that the drama was filmed well, they also actively promoted it. Therefore, quickly, all major platforms quietly had some discussion related to the drama.
The video broadcasting website saw that the effect of the premiere was unexpected, so they decided to strike while the iron was hot. Not only did they arrange a press conference, but they also arranged a few variety shows for the lead actors to promote.
As the lead actor, Song Qianming had to cooperate with the crew in their promotional activities. This was also agreed in the contract.
However, although it was tiring to run such high-intensity advertisements, the exposure was high. For an actor who was not famous, it was a good thing, even if he did not get paid for the advertisement.
“Look at the comments. Everyone’s saying that you’re so handsome!” Shen Bao’er pointed at her phone and showed it to Song Qianming. “Even the fans of the original novel are speculating that you might not be evil after all.”
The second female lead also rushed over and said, “What’s even funnier is that they’re willing to continue pampering you like this and don’t want you to turn into a villain later on. Brother Song, you’re really famous. Everyone says that your male lead is very attractive. It’s no wonder that they’re like this. Even I, who filmed with you every day, was so smitten by you back then.”
What? Shen Bao’er pouted in disgust. Recently, Li Jinyun was always like this. As long as Song Qianming was mentioned, she would interject. She also liked to get close to him. Even at the press conference, she would deliberately pretend to be ambiguous with Xiao Song. It was really annoying.
She wasn’t jealous. After all, she didn’t have any intention of developing a relationship with Song Qianming outside of the show. She just felt that it wasn’t easy for Xiao Song to become popular, but Li Jinyun was so clingy to him. What if the fans misunderstood?
“They won’t be like this when the show reaches the end.” Song Qianming replied lightly, then he got up and sat beside Director He, pretending to have questions.
He didn’t fall out with Li Jinyun because the show was currently being broadcasted. Secondly, Li Jinyun only acted ambiguously. She didn’t do anything out of line. Moreover, he could understand why she did this.
After all, she wasn’t particularly young in this industry and didn’t have any backing. If she wanted to be famous, she naturally wanted to grab every opportunity. And he, who was about to become popular, was the person she could cling onto the most.
“That’s enough.” Shen Bao’er glared at her. “Don’t give up the last bit of friendship between us for fame. You know that Xiao Song doesn’t want to do fauxmance. Going after him is naturally good for you. But why should Xiao Song be dragged down by you? If he wants to do fauxmance, won’t he do it with me first?”
Li Jinyun’s face turned pale and then red, but she didn’t do anything.
Shen Bao’er snorted. “Your acting skills aren’t bad, and you’re good-looking too. Don’t try to pull off all those dirty tricks and make your own fans disappear. If you have the time to do all this, why don’t you focus on your next role?”
Li Jinyun smiled bitterly in her heart. How could a rich person like Shen Bao’er understand the pain of a person with no background like her? Does she think anybody can get a good role just because they wanted one?
However, Shen Bao’er was right about one thing. Her fans did like her to be down-to-earth in her acting. Could it be that she was too eager? But what could she do? Her contract was about to expire, but her company didn’t seem to have any intention of renewing it.
