Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Tangtian International.

"Xiao Han, great news!"

The agent hurried to his office with quick, light steps, unable to hide her smile.

Although Wei Han had a general idea of ​​what was going on, he still asked knowingly, "What good news?"

"The phone call came personally from Director Liu of Shanghai TV. The premiere of 'The Republic of China in Flames' last night achieved a 1.1% rating and a 4.5% market share, almost setting a new record for the highest TV drama ratings in the past three years."

Since the rise of the three major online platforms, major TV stations, including CCTV, have almost plummeted in popularity. The fact that "The Republic of China in Flames" has achieved this level of viewership is practically a guarantee of becoming the year's biggest hit.

Wei Han's face didn't show the expected happiness. Instead, he stared at his agent and asked, "How's that 'Temptation to Go Home' from CTS Media? I heard they sold the premiere rights to Tencent Video, and it seems to premiere at the same time as ours last night..."

Since his divorce from his ex-wife, the "good man" label he had marketed for many years has been ruthlessly torn off, leaving him with only the first label of "new generation of powerful actor." The thought of his ex-wife standing next to Zhou Yang with that intimate expression makes him feel like there's a venomous tongue tearing at his heart.

This new drama unexpectedly turned the two into rivals. He not only wanted to win, but also wanted to take this opportunity to completely crush his opponent and ensure that he would never be able to rise again.

"Tencent Video hasn't announced it yet, but there's no need to worry. I heard from Director Liu that he rejected them immediately after trying a few episodes, so you can imagine how low the quality of their new drama is."

After listening to the agent's explanation, Wei Han finally smiled. It was the same TV station, but when he signed the contract for his new drama, he was showered with praise, while the other station couldn't even stand watching the preview. So this competition was hardly worth his attention.

"Okay, I understand."

.

.

As Wei Han's agent stated, "The Republic of China in Flames of War" unsurprisingly dominated the entire entertainment industry, with nearly half of the trending topics and discussions revolving around it.

"With its excellent plot development, distinctive characters, and the added element of that turbulent era, 'The Republic of China in Flames' is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated works in the Chinese entertainment industry this year."

"Wei Han's portrayal of a college student in the Republican era finally made me understand what it means to be in the prime of life."

"Products from Tangtian International are guaranteed to be of high quality."

"In the small screen industry, Tangtian International is a god."

"Congratulations to 'The Republic of China in Flames' for securing the title of best drama of the year ahead of schedule."

"With this drama, Wei Han will finally not have to be a runner-up for two consecutive years. I personally think he will win either the Magnolia Award or the Feitian Award this year."

"..."

As for "The Temptation to Go Home", although it chose to premiere at the same time as its competitor, and even on the more popular platform Tencent Video, it didn't have much presence in terms of popularity or related topics.

CTS Media, screening room.

When Qin Xue saw the utterly despicable Hong Shixian and Ellie sink to the bottom of the sea together, her heart, which had been pounding since last night, finally settled down.

Just like my sister said before, this melodramatic show is really addictive, and very addictive. Every episode's plot is like a hook, pulling at your heart and making you unable to stop watching.

"Although Hong Shixian and Ellie are a bit disgusting, their ending is definitely satisfying. This kind of drama is quite good; I never thought it would be like this before..."

After talking to herself for a while, Qin Xue drew back the curtains of the projection room and found that it was completely dark outside.

"Huh? What time is it?"

Looking at her phone again, she saw messages on WeChat from her assistant asking if she could leave work on time, her father asking what time she would be home for dinner, and so on—more than a dozen messages in total.

Most importantly, the time displayed on the phone screen was already 1 a.m.

Is it that late?

Qin Xue was startled, which meant that she had wasted more than ten hours of her time on this drama since she started working in the morning.

I need to be more careful in the future. I must never get hooked on these kinds of shows again. Not only do they cause me trouble, but if word gets out, how will I ever be able to face anyone again?

The following morning, after a night's rest, Qin Xue returned to her usual icy and beautiful CEO persona.

The assistant, who had left work without permission yesterday, seemed somewhat uneasy. After some hesitation, she asked, "Director Qin, yesterday...you didn't come back yesterday, so..."

"I was thinking about work in the screening room yesterday. If there's nothing else, you can go now."

"it is good."

The assistant finally felt relieved.

Then Qin Xue took out her phone and sent a message to her sister, Gao Xiaoyu, who soon appeared in her office.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Yesterday I watched the entire series of 'The Temptation to Go Home'..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Xiaoyu pressed on, "The plot was pretty good, wasn't it? I decided to produce it as soon as I finished reading the script."

Qin Xue remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "It's nothing special. You know I've never been particularly interested in these melodramatic love stories."

Gao Xiaoyu asked, puzzled, "Then why did you call them over?"

"I've decided to add another 30 million yuan to the promotion budget for this show."

Qin Xue spoke her mind.

"Another 30 million? Did I hear that right?"

Gao Xiaoyu subconsciously gasped, her mouth agape. It wasn't that she cared much about the mere 30 million, but when she came last time, her sister had looked down on the show, even saying that it was estimated to lose 50 million.

What's going on now?

Seeing her younger sister staring blankly at her, Qin Xue immediately said irritably, "You don't want it, right? Then I take back what I just said."

"Yes, yes, yes~"

Gao Xiaoyu quickly interjected. Yesterday, she spent almost the entire day browsing the trending topics of her rival's "The Republic of China in Flames of War." It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried. Losing money was a minor issue; the real problem was that her first drama as a producer had flopped. It wouldn't sound good if word got out, and it would also affect her authority within CTS.

"Sister, why have you suddenly become so kind? You know, the last time I came to see you..."

"Was I bad to you before?"

Upon hearing what the other party said, Qin Xue'e's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Okay, okay, I just don't quite understand it."

"snort!"

Qin Xue snorted coldly and said, "You're my sister. If your first production as a producer loses money, the money is a small matter. The most important thing is that it will affect our CTS's image in the small-screen market. Hmm... I'm doing all this for the company's sake..."

After saying that, Qin Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her words were watertight and her reasons were perfectly plausible.

I absolutely cannot let my sister know that I've fallen in love with melodramatic romance dramas; compared to what I said before, it's just too embarrassing.

"Oh, I see?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think I like this melodramatic soap opera you made?"

At this moment, Qin Xue's expression remained that of an ice queen, just like before, but she still felt a little inexplicably ashamed.

"It's alright, thank you so much, sister."

After saying that, Gao Xiaoyu made a move to kiss her cheek, but the latter pushed her away in disgust, saying, "Don't ruin my makeup~"
