Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Clearly Can Rely on Looks to Make a Living, Yet Insist on Talent

Mm.

Clean and crisp, utterly refreshing.

Jiang Yao burst into laughter. "If you know you don’t drool, why bother wiping your face?"

"You don’t understand," Wen Qiao huffed, with an air of haughty pride, "This is called being meticulous."

Jiang Yao felt Wen Qiao’s skin was getting thicker by the day. She rolled her eyes and handed her the phone. "Take a look, netizens have a high regard for you. As long as you perform normally and don’t stir up any trouble, the online comments about you will change after this drama airs."

Wen Qiao didn’t take what Jiang Yao said to heart. She scrolled through the praising comments with a smile blossoming on her face. "Even though I get compliments often, being praised for my beauty still makes me happy every time."

"Snap out of it, girl. You can’t just survive on your looks."

"Why can’t I?" Wen Qiao asserted confidently, "Didn’t you see how many fans flocked to me just because of my character poster? And here I am, capable of relying on my looks yet also on my talent. What about those with neither looks nor talent, or only one of them—how are they supposed to get by?"

Jiang Yao fell silent for a moment, then reached out again to pinch Wen Qiao’s cheek.

Wen Qiao winced in pain and batted her hand away. "Why are you pinching me!"

"I’m checking if you’ve pasted something on your face, it’s so thick."

Wen Qiao: "..."

She started to seriously suspect that Jiang Yao was an undercover hater planted by the enemy.

In fact, scrolling further down, one could see that the comments section wasn’t entirely a bed of roses.

Jiang Wei had been in the industry for years and amassed a large fanbase. After seeing the character poster, they thought "Red Makeup" favored Wen Qiao too obviously and wouldn’t stand for it. They took to their keyboards and fired away.

"The drama crew is way too biased, aren’t they? We know it’s a female lead drama and Wen Qiao is the lead, but our Weiwei is lowering herself to play the second female lead to complement that dark horse, Wen Qiao. Is this how the crew treats her?"

"Forget about the second lead, look at how perfunctory Ye Shengnan’s male lead poster is. How much better can Weiwei’s be? If Wen Qiao had a higher status than our Weiwei, that’d be another story, but when Weiwei debuted, wasn’t Wen Qiao still in her rebellious teenage years?"

"We had already accepted that Weiwei was set to play the lead and then got replaced, but the crew can’t treat people like this, can they?"

"Nowadays, diligent actors can’t compete with nobodies who have backers, it’s so disheartening."

"....."

Jiang Wei nearly passed out from anger when she saw these comments.

Were these people really her fans?

What do they mean by saying she debuted when Wen Qiao was still going through a rebellious phase? Are they trying to emphasize that she’s much older than Wen Qiao?

And how dare they use the phrase ’lowering her own value’?

To be part of Director Zhang Jiage’s first TV drama was the dream of many, even playing a minor role was worth celebrating for a while. If Director Zhang saw these comments and misunderstood that she was unhappy with the crew’s arrangements, stirring up the fans to make trouble, what would she do?

If not for recognizing these netizen IDs, she would have believed these people were hired by the rivals to smear her.

"Sister Qing, handle those comments on Weibo, will you? Don’t let Director Zhang get wind of them. Then guide the fans a bit, no more stirring up trouble."

"Understood." Li Qing nodded. "Don’t worry about these things. You just focus on giving a good performance this afternoon. I heard ES is picking an ambassador for the Asian region, and their executive manager is an old acquaintance of Director Zhang. With his recommendation, landing that endorsement will be much easier for you."
