Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 203 Wang Ou and Yang Rong, the Teddy Sisters

Hengdian, the crew of "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty"

Because she didn't have many scenes in "The Legend of Xue Rengui" for the time being, Yang Rong temporarily joined the cast of "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty".

Although Yang Rong had visited a few times before, she hadn't stayed long. Once she actually joined the film crew, she quickly discovered that the production was more complicated than she had imagined.

Honestly, when filming "Xue Rengui", Yang Rong didn't feel that Yan Li's existence was that important. She just felt that the crew was less troublesome and less worry-free.

Now, when compared with "The Palace of Qing Dynasty", the difference is immediately apparent.

In the production team of "The Legend of Xue Rengui", Yan Li was the absolute core, and the producer, director, and even the most popular actor Li Bingbing all respected him.

Yan Li's word was law, and no one dared to cause any trouble, so the atmosphere on set was relatively harmonious.

But "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" is different; no one can hold the fort.

Neither of the two producers, Yu Zheng nor the other, possessed absolute deterrent power.

Especially for Yu Zheng, who was a producer for the first time, not only did others not take him seriously, but he himself was not very confident.

The director is slightly better; he's a fairly experienced director with some good previous works, but he's not exactly a famous director.

When filming, everyone gives him face, but if he wants to get involved in other matters, he's not up to the task.

If the director and producers are incompetent, the situation with the actors is even more chaotic.

The second female lead, Qin Lan, and the female lead, Wang Ou, are almost openly at odds. Although they haven't broken off relations, they hardly communicate in private, and their conflicts are completely undisguised.

Logically, Wang Ou, as the female lead and an artist under Yi An, should have a greater advantage in this situation.

But both the producer and the director seemed to favor Qin Lan.

Of course, they didn't dare to offend Wang Ou, so they wavered and tried to cover up the truth, which gradually led to the crew members being divided into several factions.

One faction was led by Qin Lan, with Huo Siyan as its core member.

He and Qin Lan got along very well. After joining the crew, the two hit it off within a few days, and since they both owned Teddy dogs, they often walked their dogs together.

Later, when Qin Lan and Wang Ou became adversaries and Qin Lan displayed some extraordinary qualities, Huo Siyan decisively took sides and supported Qin Lan without wavering.

It is said that he even offered Qin Lan a pledge of loyalty, stood up for Qin Lan, and had a minor conflict with Wang Ou.

From then on, Qin Lan and Huo Siyan became increasingly close, and when Yang Rong joined the crew, they were practically inseparable.

One faction is Wang Ou himself.

Because Qin Lan and Huo Siyan are both more famous than her, the two of them stick together, and with the producers' and directors' bias, not many people dare to associate with Wang Ou.

The other factions, or rather, one faction.

The other actors formed a few small cliques to hang out, avoid the limelight, and just watch the drama unfold without getting involved in the rivalry between the second female lead and the female lead.

Of course, these people might have some minor conflicts in private, but they weren't as direct as those between Qin and the King, and the conflicts weren't as big.

After joining the group, Yang Rong, after learning more about the situation and being reminded by her old classmate Yu Zheng, decided to join the third faction.

However, to her surprise, while she wanted to find peace and quiet, someone was trying to drag her into it.

Wang Ou has his eye on her!

To be fair, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Wang Ou; Yang Rong herself isn't innocent either.

When the filming of "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" first started, Yang Rong made a special trip to support her old classmate Yu Zheng and visit the set to offer her congratulations.

At that time, she had no idea that the crew was so complicated. She happened to run into Wang Ou and chatted with him for a while.

At that time, Yang Rong had already been cast in "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty", so she wanted to make friends in advance.

When she joins the production team again, she'll have someone to talk to and look after her. Wang Ou is the female lead, so she'll definitely want to be on good terms with her.

Perhaps because Wang and Yang both have oval faces and somewhat similar appearances, and their personalities are also relatively compatible, the two had a good first impression of each other, even though it was their first time meeting.

Later, when Wang Ou visited the set of "The Legend of Xue Rengui" on his birthday, he made a point of greeting Yang Rong.

Yang Rong later learned that it was Wang Ou's birthday that day. She was surprised by the relationship between Wang Ou and Yan Li, so she specially sent him a gift.

As a result, the two grew closer.

After that, every time Yang Rong visited the set of "The Palace of the Qing Dynasty", she would look for Wang Ou more often than Yu Zheng. Wang Ou was the female lead with a lot of scenes, but she still accepted Yang Rong's invitation to dinner once despite her busy schedule.

But it was also around that time, because she visited the set of "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" so often, and with Yu Zheng's reminder, that Yang Rong learned some inside information about the production crew.

Yang Rong panicked a little at the time, but didn't take it too seriously. She felt that the discord between Wang Ou and Qin Lan would not affect her friendship with Wang Ou.

Qin Lan wouldn't target her just because she's friends with Wang Ou, would she?

Therefore, Yang Rong did not sever ties with Wang Ou.

On the contrary, because Wang Ou was ostracized by Qin and Huo in "The Palace of Qing Dynasty", he felt depressed and would chat with her whenever he had time, and the two got along better and better.

Before Yang Rong starred in "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty," she was introduced to another good friend of Wang Ou, Wu Jiani.

It is said that Wu Jiani did not have a good time during her time filming "The White-Haired Witch".

Fan Xiaopang didn't isolate or ostracize her, but he wasn't particularly close to her either (because of Wang Ou). He preferred to hang out with Li Lin in private, so she could only stick together with another minor actress for comfort.

But at least he has a companion and isn't being targeted, which is much better than Wang Ou's situation.

Wang Ou was very envious at the time. After the three of them got together, she even told Yang Rong that once Yang Rong joined the crew, she would have company and wouldn't be all alone.

Yang Rong immediately sensed something was wrong; she felt like she had fallen into a trap.

After joining the production team, her suspicions were completely confirmed.

Wang Ou gave Yang Rong a grand welcome, spending every day with her when she wasn't filming, and practically wanted to tell the entire "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" crew that Yang Rong was her best friend.

Then, Yang Rong noticed that Qin Lan and Huo Siyan were looking at her more and more strangely, and the rest of the crew gradually regarded her as Wang Ou's faction.

At this point, Yang Rong had no way to escape.

Firstly, Wang Ou's faction has already been labeled, and there may have been signs of this during her previous visits to the set.

Secondly, if we run away now, what will become of Wang Ou? It would be too unfair to our friend.

Regardless, Yang Rong still considered Wang Ou a friend and even felt some sympathy for her plight, while harboring some reservations about Qin and Huo.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ou saw himself as a lifeline, abandoned her, stood by and watched from the sidelines, and ignored others bullying his friend.

Yang Rong can't do that!
I can only blame my bad luck for choosing the wrong side and underestimating the complexity of the "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" production team.

Yang Rong cursed herself for being stupid in her heart, but still gritted her teeth and chose to go with Wang Ou.

Goodness gracious, reinforcements have arrived! This is going to be interesting.

The audience of "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty" is overjoyed and eagerly awaits Qin Lan's response.

It would be best if they fought!

...

"The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty", a hotel room

Qin Lan fed two Teddy dogs, one white and one brown, dog food, and helplessly watched Huo Siyan shouting at Wang Ou and Yang Rong to teach them a lesson.

"I've said it so many times, don't make a scene, and don't delay the crew's work, that's the bottom line."

Qin Lan knew very well that as his girlfriend, she was dissatisfied with Wang Ou, this slutty guy with an ambiguous relationship with Yan Li. Whether it was cold treatment, exclusion, suppression, or isolation, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, Yan Li would turn a blind eye.

If you want to climb the social ladder by relying on a man, you not only have to sacrifice your beauty, but being targeted by the wife is also one of the costs.

Wang Ou is doing alright; he has Yan Li to keep him in check, so he might suffer some setbacks, but he also has a female lead.

Many mistresses caught by the wife are slapped dozens of times with both hands, then stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

It's fine for Qin Lan to subtly undermine Wang Ou, but she needs to be careful. If things get too out of hand or affect important matters, Yan Li might not stand idly by.

Yan Li may still be on her side, but it might affect his opinion of her.

Especially Fan Xiaopang, she helped Yan Li's career, but ended up dragging Yan Li down. Compared to her, isn't she just pushing Yan Li into Fan's arms?
Qin Lan even regretted that she had fallen out with Wang Ou so badly.

She didn't initially intend to do anything to Wang Ou; she simply didn't want to talk to her. She was completely swayed by the atmosphere on set.
Oh, and Huo Siyan was also stirring things up.

The reason why Qin Lan and Huo Siyan have such a good relationship is partly because they get along well and share a dog, and partly because Huo Siyan firmly stands up for her and has a falling out with Wang Ou.

Another reason unknown to outsiders is that Huo Siyan told Qin Lan that during the filming of "Happy Seven Fairies," due to her youth and naivety and some misunderstandings, she was ostracized by Dong Xuan and Fan Xiaopang.

If she hadn't joined Huayi Brothers and benefited from the honeymoon period between Huayi and Yan Li, she would have been blacklisted by Dong and Fan long ago and wouldn't have been able to get any resources for Yi An.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
When Huo Siyan said that she was mortal enemies with Dong Xuan and Fan Xiaopang, Qin Lan treated her like a good younger sister.

Similarly, upon learning that Qin Lan was willing to protect her from being bullied by Dong and Fan, Huo Siyan also regarded her as a good older sister.

However, it's unclear whether it was because she was bullied too much in "Happy Seven Fairies".

Huo Siyan, relying on Qin Lan's influence, was particularly enthusiastic in isolating and ostracizing Wang Ou.

The current unpleasantness between Qin Lan and Wang Ou is mainly due to their own internal conflicts, but Huo Siyan also played a significant role in the situation.

"Sis, you're just too nice. If it were me, I would have slapped that slut long ago."

"Sassy Chicken Essence" was a nickname Qin Lan gave to Wang Ou.

The other person played the pheasant spirit in "Investiture of the Gods," and was also quite flamboyant. Plus, there was a bird in their name, so this nickname is very fitting.

Back when they were filming "The Investiture of the Gods," Qin Lan whispered about Wang Ou in private, but only Yan Li knew about it.

This time, when they met again in "The Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty," Qin Lan revealed this nickname when she was privately playing with crickets with Huo Siyan.

Huo Siyan was much more cunning than Qin Lan, and from then on, she privately used this nickname to refer to Wang Ou.

Lacking confidence, Wang Ou always avoided Qin Huo. The only time he had a minor conflict with Huo Siyan was because of this nickname, which made him somewhat defensive.

After talking about Wang Ou, Huo Siyan started talking about Yang Rong.

"We originally considered her a friend and even invited her to hang out, but she didn't give us any face and is now going against us. It's simply outrageous."

Yang Rong and Huo Siyan both worked together on "The Young Emperor". Although they weren't very close, they knew each other.

Huo Siyan had initially tried to recruit her, but failed and was instead lured away by Wang Ou.

This made Huo Siyan feel betrayed, and her impression of Yang Rong plummeted.

"Who others want to be friends with is none of our business. If we're not on the same wavelength, we don't need to force ourselves to be friends with them."

Qin Lan offered Huo Siyan a few words of comfort, but she didn't have any particular opinion about Yang Rong.

Of course, she had no opinion about the other person hanging out with Wang Ou, but she didn't have a good impression of them either.

"Sis, you're just too soft-hearted."

Huo Siyan said with exasperation, "If I were Qin Lan, I would have given Wang Ou a good beating long ago. If Yang Rong dared to disrespect me, I would have kicked her out of the crew."

However, Huo Siyan's close relationship with Qin Lan is also due to her soft heart and good temper.

Qin Lan is gentle, tolerant, and caring. She doesn't act like a big sister in private, making her very comfortable to be around.

Anyway, Huo Siyan, who had contact with Fan Xiaopang and Dong Xuan, thought Qin Lan was the best person. No wonder she could win Yan Li's favor and easily suppress Wang Ou.

Huo Siyan was close to Qin Lan and witnessed firsthand how Qin Lan and Yan Li interacted in private.

Honestly, she once felt that Dong Xuan was not as favored as Qin Lan.

Especially a few days ago, when Yan Li was away from Hengdian for his birthday, and Qin Lan called to express her dissatisfaction, Huo Siyan overheard a couple of times and realized for the first time that the domineering man could also have such a gentle and doting tone.

Recalling the nasty way the other party made her call him "Dad" in Palm Springs, Huo Siyan felt so jealous that she almost turned against Qin Lan.

But there was nothing he could do; Yan Li wasn't very interested in her and was clearly just playing around.

While being an undercover agent for Yan Li was useful, that was about it. Huo Siyan hadn't forgotten that Huayi Brothers also had Li Bingbing, who was having an affair with Yan Li.

She's Huayi Brothers' top female star, and she also has a sister who's a high-ranking executive. What does she have to compare with those two sisters?

Therefore, Huo Siyan planned to take a different approach and try to gain access to Yi'an's resources by currying favor with Qin Lan.

I learned this trick from Yang Xue and Jiang Xin. The two of them got their cooperation by currying favor with Dong Xuan, so I can learn from them.

Qin Lan had to calm Huo Siyan down for a while before she finally did. Looking at Huo, who was still somewhat resentful, she was speechless.

She was clearly the one in question, yet Huo Siyan was jumping around even more excitedly than her, making it seem as if Wang Ou was stealing Huo Siyan's man. Just then, Qin Lan's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, walked to the side, and answered the call.

"Hey?"

"Okay, fine, you wait for me."

Qin Lan hung up the phone and started urging Huo Siyan to change her clothes and go out.

The latter was puzzled and asked several questions before Qin Lan finally explained: "Yan Li is back and asked if I was free to pick him up."

Huo Siyan's eyes lit up, and she said, half-jokingly, "He asked you to pick him up as soon as he got back. It seems he missed you."

Qin Lan didn't say anything, but the smile on her face proved that she was in a good mood.

Seeing this, Huo Siyan said, "Sister, I'm not going anywhere either, so let me go too."

"Ok?"

Qin Lan frowned. Was she just going to pick people up? She's usually quite clever, why did she decide to be a third wheel?

"Don't worry, I won't bother you two. I'll just have a free meal and then I'll come back on my own. I just want to show my face to my brother-in-law so that he'll think of me when something good happens."

Huo Siyan offered an explanation, and Qin Lan, touched by her use of the term "brother-in-law," hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, you're all acquaintances anyway."

...

The two changed clothes, and Qin Lan made a phone call. Yan Li arranged for a car to pick them up and take them to Yiwu Airport.

It takes only two hours to fly from Beijing to Yiwu, and about an hour to drive from Hengdian to Yiwu Airport.

Including the intermittent time, Qin Lan and her group only waited for about half an hour at the airport before they saw Yan Li, wearing a mask and sunglasses, leading a few people out of the VIP channel.

With a gesture, Qin Lan and the others went back to their car and slowly drove out of the airport. Soon after, another car caught up with them, and Yan Li got out to change cars.

"do you miss me?"

Yan Li put his arm around Qin Lan, about to get a little affectionate, but Qin Lan blushed and dodged away, then pulled out Huo Siyan instead.

"I don't need to introduce you two. Siyan and I are best friends now. She knew you were coming back, so she came with me to pick you up."

Huo Siyan winked at Yan Li: "Welcome back to Hengdian, brother-in-law~"

"..."

Yan Li knew that Qin Lan and Huo Siyan had been getting along well lately, and after using the system to understand Huo's thoughts, he didn't interfere too much.

He understood and had a good grasp of Huo Siyan's personality. The two got along well, and Qin Lan not only had someone to accompany her, but she could also be used by him at crucial moments.

However, because of what had happened between the two, Yan Li felt somewhat strange seeing Qin Lan and Huo Siyan acting like good sisters. Now, upon hearing the term "brother-in-law," he almost lost his composure.

"cough."

Yan Li cleared his throat and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."

“My brother-in-law helped me before, and Sister Lan has taken such good care of me. One should know how to be grateful. This little thing is nothing.”

Qin Lan felt that Huo Siyan had made her look good, and said with relief that she didn't need to be so polite. Yan Li couldn't help but glance at her and sighed inwardly.

That silly woman, do you even know how she got Bowen?!
However, seeing Huo Siyan flirting with her so indirectly in front of Qin Lan...

Yan Li reached out and put his arm around Qin Lan's waist, his smile fading as he made his stance clear.

"Since you treat your sister Lan as your older sister, you should help her out more often. Your sister is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so don't let her suffer. If you two get along well, I won't treat my own people badly. Otherwise... hehe, you'll see when the time comes."

"Oh dear, what are you saying? Siyan, your brother-in-law is just a straightforward person. He didn't mean anything by it, so don't take it to heart."

Qin Lan felt that Yan Li's words were too harsh, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.

Huo Siyan dared not look Yan Li in the eye and forced a smile.

"No, my brother-in-law is right. My sister and I should get along well."

Yan Li didn't go too far; he gave a few words of advice and then turned the page.

Seeing the awkwardness, Qin Lan tried to lighten the mood by talking about his heroic deeds as the king of film sales, which were widely rumored to be true.

"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes"—Yan Li directed two projects with each episode costing millions, making a big splash.

While ascending to the throne of "King of Distribution," Yan Li's distribution capabilities have also prompted many media outlets to conduct more research and investigation, and the more they investigated, the more astonished they became.

The two dramas, Phoenix Carving and Phoenix Eagle, sold for 8200 million yuan in one go. Adding the 1.42 million yuan from the previous screening, Yi An's total sales this year have reached 2.24 million yuan.

However, this is only part of the story.

Taking Phoenix Carving as an example, the 8200 million was only for the first round of broadcasts. The revenue from terrestrial channels, DVDs, Hong Kong and Taiwan copyrights, and even overseas copyrights is coming in one after another.

The copyright for "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was sold to Taiwan Province. Yi An did not disclose the specific amount, but according to market prices, it would be several million or even tens of millions.

There are currently no deals for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" outside of mainland Chinese television stations.

However, I've heard that TV stations in Hong Kong and Taiwan are planning to buy it, and a South Korean TV station is also interested. Jin Yong's dramas have a significant advantage in this regard.

The DVD rights for the two TV series have also been agreed upon with a film and television company, with the total price reportedly exceeding 500 million.

In today's sluggish DVD market, this is an astronomical price, and the head of the company that bought the DVD said it was a record-breaking transaction in the past two years.

Even the usually ignored online copyrights were seized by Yi An Hama and resold to Tudou.com for 100 million yuan per video (the official explanation was to facilitate rights protection).

According to current media estimates, the total selling price of the two plays, "Phoenix Carving," is approximately 1.2-1.5 million yuan.

In Yan Li's hands, the phoenix eagle transformed into two golden birds, frantically generating wealth for him.

Other dramas besides Phoenix Carving are also making a steady stream of money.

For example, the hugely popular "Bright Sword", the highly acclaimed "Investiture of the Gods", "The Mute Bride" which almost won the ratings championship on satellite TV, and other popular dramas are all making a lot of money.

Adding them all up, Yi An's total sales this year will definitely not be less than 3.5 million, 4 million is probably not the limit, and 5 million is unlikely, but it is not impossible.

Even if it's 4 to 5 million, it's still an astonishing figure that leaves people speechless.

How big is the entire TV drama market these days?!
According to statistics from relevant organizations, the total transaction volume of TV dramas this year is between 20 and 30 billion yuan, while some organizations believe it is over 40 billion yuan.

Regardless of which standard is correct, Yi'an has essentially taken over about one-tenth of the market, which is terrifying.

What's even more alarming is that the current TV drama market is losing money overall, meaning that the production costs are higher than the actual number of transactions, with rumors suggesting a difference of billions of yuan.

In this industry environment, the fact that almost all of Yi'an's collaborative projects are profitable makes it all the more remarkable.

Moreover, Yi An's dramas not only make a lot of money, but the dramas that have already aired have also achieved good results.

"Bright Sword" aims to become the top-rated TV show of the year.

"The Mute Bride" aims to become the top-rated TV show of the year.

"Wrong Carriage", "Nine Phoenixes in the Family", "Chinese Paladin", "Happy Seven Fairies", "Railway Guerrilla", "Migrant Workers' Survival"... all of these have ranked high in some ratings or received excellent reviews.

To be a true king of film sales, one must earn a lot of money, achieve outstanding results, repeatedly break industry records, and single-handedly influence a portion of the market.

"Hey, stop talking about selling movies, I'm the king of distribution."

Yan Li couldn't help but struggle a little. The bastard's horn was getting louder and louder. Even when TM reporters interviewed him, they sometimes referred to him directly as the "King of Selling Movies".

Qin Lan and Huo Siyan ignored him; the former chuckled and teased, while the latter was more curious about how much he, the king of selling films, had earned.

With a 10-15% distribution fee and a total selling price of 400-500 million, Yan Li must have made 60-70 million.

"Not that much. Each project is divided into its own, and there are all sorts of expenses. What I end up with is just hard-earned money."

Huo Siyan was skeptical: "Even if you offer a 50% discount, you should still have 30 million, right?"

"more or less."

Yan Li gave a vague answer, saying that he didn't like to disclose his income and always spoke evasively.

It's definitely more than 3000 million, but not by much.

This year I've been lucky, securing several top-tier projects and, thanks to monthly intelligence reports, landing many high-rated, high-quality dramas, which has made me stand out.

However, the issuer acts as an intermediary, and with the revenue sharing structured, they are ultimately just scraps – the profits aren't low, but they're not high either.

Yan Li's positioning of the distribution business is mainly to leverage other resources and enhance the company's brand and industry influence, while making money still comes from the film and television department and the stock market.

However, this applies to Yan Li.

When Huo Siyan heard Yan Li admit that he had made a whopping 3000 million yuan in just one year from the distribution of the rights and benefits, she couldn't help but feel resentful once again.

If we can secure this, will we ever have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives?!

Even Qin Lan, who was standing to the side, although she knew more about Yan Li and was more prepared, couldn't help but tighten her grip on Yan Li's hand when she heard these words.

Sometimes she herself is in a daze.

Back when we were filming "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" in Hengdian, I complained to her about how expensive plane tickets were and how I had to buy a train ticket back to Beijing.

Now, only three years later, one of the businesses is making tens of millions in a year, it's like a dream!

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Fortunately, they had arrived at the hotel. Huo Siyan wanted to follow, but Yan Li pulled Qin Lan out of the car and closed the door.

"Send them back, we'll pick them up tomorrow."

The driver responded and drove off, prompting Qin Lan to scold him.

"At least let them have a meal."

Yan Li glanced at her: "You're not angry?"

He thought that Qin Lan would feel uncomfortable because he had given her such a cold shoulder, but judging from her appearance, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"I'm not stupid. You're backing me up, and besides, Siyan's personality... it's good to give her a little nudge. I can't say it myself, so you can play the villain for me."

Qin Lan was not unaware of Huo Siyan's little schemes, but she simply didn't like to dwell on them.

Yan Li was protective of his own, and she was overjoyed. How could she possibly blame him? She was just putting on an act to avoid things getting too tense.

She knows perfectly well who is her closest family member: her best friend or her man.

"Okay, I've mastered it."

Yan Li was somewhat relieved. He had been worried that Qin Lan would suffer a loss, but now it seemed that this young woman was wise beyond her years.

If Huo Siyan really takes her for a simple-minded older sister, then she's just waiting to fall into a trap.

"I'm a little curious, why did Dong Xuan and Fan Bingbing target Si Yan in 'Happy Seven Fairies'?"

When Qin Lan and Yan Li entered the hotel, Qin Lan couldn't help but ask a question that had been on her mind for a long time.

Yan Li raised an eyebrow: "What did Huo Siyan say?"

"She said Dong Xuan didn't like her, and Fan Bingbing was jealous that she played the female lead."

"..."

Yan Li choked on his words. How dare this little wench say that?
"Do you believe it?"

"I don't quite believe it."

Qin Lan turned to look at Yan Li, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Does she also have something to do with you?"

"If I had something to do with Huo Siyan on the set of 'Happy Seven Fairies,' and then went out and was..."

"Bah bah bah."

Qin Lan covered Yan Li's mouth and spat twice on the ground: "If nothing's wrong, then nothing's wrong. Don't talk nonsense. It's bad luck."

But after this experience, Qin Lan felt at ease. Although she didn't agree with some aspects of Huo Siyan, there were also aspects of her personality that she found agreeable.

Fan Xiaopang was eyeing the situation covetously, and Dong Xuan had gathered a group of people. She also wanted to find a few helpers to cheer her on and boost her morale.
