Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Arranged Marriage

Assistant Xiao Cao silently covered the pocket holding his cell phone.

Okay, he didn’t bring it.

What Brother Ye said was final.

Sitting under another canopy, Jiang Wei leisurely nibbled on a piece of watermelon and muttered unconsciously, "This Ye Shengnan is quite attentive to Wen Qiao."

Qianqian didn’t hear clearly, "Sister Wei, what did you say?"

Jiang Wei shook her head, "Nothing."

On the first day of shooting, the process went rather smoothly, and after wrapping up in the evening, she lay bored in bed scrolling through her phone.

"Red Makeup Starts Filming" had made it onto the hot search on Weibo, not ranking too high or too low, just enough to catch one’s eye.

Wen Qiao clicked on it and saw not only the official Red Makeup account’s photo from the start of filming but also a blurry video of the opening ceremony posted by a Weibo celebrity blogger.

In the video, she looked plain, and if not for her special standing position, anyone could mistake her for a crew member, whereas Jiang Wei and Lin Ruochun, the second and third female leads standing by her side, looked more striking than her.

The accompanying text was also quite interesting, reading something like "Red Makeup crew starts filming, female lead Wen Qiao unknown and unremarkable, supporting actresses Jiang Wei and Lin Chun graceful and poised." It was just the beginning of filming, and someone couldn’t wait to start a smear campaign against her.

Although the official photos released online had garnered mainly positive comments for now, she still needed to show solid talent to completely change the public’s perception of Wen Qiao.

If she performed poorly, the netizens’ bad reviews would only worsen.

This drama was undoubtedly Wen Qiao’s battle to turn the tide; she had to make it a spectacular one.

Wen Qiao, however, never paid much mind to such trivial content; after all, the fact that she was the female lead was set in stone. As for these sponsored social media posts, they were no different from clowns.

The comments were all the same: each fanbase took their own stars and hoped not to bring others down, looking forward to their own star’s brilliant performance, and there were criticisms of Wen Qiao or speculations about why she and the director had no interaction, nothing noteworthy.

However, a few netizens had rather unique points of interest.

"Am I the only one who thinks Wen Qiao’s bun is perfectly round? From afar, it really looks just like a meatball, no, like a four-happiness meatball."

"Chunchun always likes to wear such exaggerated earrings wherever she goes. I must seriously appeal to the director to give Chunchun’s character more exaggerated earrings, or I’m afraid ordinary ones won’t match her grand and opulent demeanor!"

"Director Zhang looks unhappy and resigned, but why is Assistant Director Song next to him smiling like a blooming flower, this inexplicably brings to mind the phrase ’forced marriage’."

"God damn forced marriage."

"....."

She dragged the video’s progress bar to where the two directors were, took a screenshot, and cropped out that comment to send to Fu Jinghen.

[Qiaoqiao’s not full: Netizens’ thought processes are really beyond ordinary people’s comparison.]

Their chat was still on the earlier incident of Lin Ruochun provoking her and her sending an audio message to Fu Jinghen calling him "hubby." Fu Jinghen didn’t reply, and she didn’t know if he had even listened.

It wasn’t long before Fu Jinghen replied to her WeChat message.

[Fu Jinghen: ’Normal’ and ’ordinary’ mean the same thing, you could remove one.]

Wen Qiao didn’t initially understand what he meant by these words, but after going over their conversation twice, she finally got it.
