Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhao intended to send Luo Ying to the set after lunch, but Luo Ying refused. “Don’t you have a meeting?” Luo Ying bent down and kissed Lu Zhao on the cheek. “It’s the same even if the chauffeur takes me there. There’s no need to set aside your schedule.”
Lu Zhao agreed after recalling the mornings unfinished meeting.
Luo Ying quickly rushed to the set. This afternoon was to be a live broadcast of “The Prime Minister”‘s promotional event.
Wang Yu and Zhang Yue were already waiting at the set. As soon as Luo Ying arrived, she began applying her cosmetics.
Since Su Li had intended to have the Prime Minister crew film during the live broadcast, he had started the live broadcast at the last minute.
“Why not take advantage of the controversy Zheng Ying has dragged our production team into?” Su Li had explained a few days ago. “Bad publicity is still publicity! With Zheng Ying’s cock-up, we won’t be able to catch up with the original release date if we don’t adjust our schedule. If we shoot and broadcast at the same time, we can make something out of it.”
“What Director Su said makes sense.” This piqued Luo Ying’s curiosity, and she cocked an eyebrow. “But are there issues with the TV station?
“It’s all taken care of, so relax.” Cheng Zhen had worked very hard behind the scenes.
Filming and airing simultaneously could generate more buzz, but it would put Chen Yue’s adaptation skills to the test. She was confident, though.
Since Luo Ying had complete faith in them, she decided to adopt this strategy.
Su Li moved very quickly. Luo Ying rearranged the filming schedule to allow for today’s live broadcast during her brief period of rest.
At four in the afternoon, the broadcast went live. Zhang Yue had not yet finished applying Luo Ying’s makeup. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the dressing room.
“Hello!” The speaker was a stunning woman.
Luo Ying turned in the direction of the voice to find her leaning slightly against the door frame with Cheng Zhen’s head poking out from her side.
“Yingying-” Cheng Zhen had already put on her makeup and waved happily at
Luo Ying. “She’s here to take over Zheng Ying’s role.”
“Du Tian.” The woman answered tacitly,” Nice to meet you.”
Luo Ying smiled politely. “1 1 m Luo Ying. Welcome to our production team.”
Luo Ying could tell that Tian was not young anymore. There were slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her temperament did not diminish her beauty. Luo Ying had a good impression of her. Zheng Ying, in contrast, even had a malicious glint in her eyes, but this woman gave off the impression that she was very calm and collected.
As an intermediary, Cheng Zhen pushed Du Tian and Luo Ying to talk to each other and bring themselves closer together. They waited for Luo Ying to finish getting ready, and then headed to the studio.
“Hello, everyone. Hello and thank you for tuning in to today’s live broadcast from our ‘Prime Minister’ crew!” Cheng Zhen was the primary host for today’s live show.
After yesterday’s release of the live broadcast trailer, many viewers and fans were already present in the live broadcast room hours before the broadcast was scheduled to begin. Just as Cheng Zhen was beginning to greet them, a deluge of bullet comments poured in.
“Yes, we’re about to begin production on ‘Prime Minister. The fact that we will be filming and airing simultaneously is also something that everyone should be aware of. I hope everyone will support us!” As Cheng Zhen looked at the bullet screen, she beamed.
“Let our main creative team introduce themselves first!” Cheng Zhen stepped away from the camera.
Luo Ying and Xie Yun were the first to enter the live broadcast room. This was to be expected, given their status as the film’s male and female protagonists.
They gave a quick rundown of who they were and who was playing who in the drama.
[Sister Ying is so beautiful today.]
[Wow, they really have some hot people on board!]
[I want to know who Zheng Ying’s role has been changed to? From what we saw in the teaser, this seems like a very demanding role.]
[Fan report from Xie Yung Our small production team has been through a lot, so we need your help more than ever.]
“Of course I understand what you’re trying to ask. Hey, everyone, meet Du Tian, our newest team member!” After the male and female leads were presented, Luo Ying shifted the focus of the camera to the supporting cast.
“Hello everyone, I’m Du Tian. I just joined the crew today…” The camera panned around to the opposite side.
Meanwhile, outside the frame of the camera, Su Li showed Luo Ying and Xie Yun the contents of his phone screen. There was a note saying that the production crew next door had also begun streaming live.
The crew next door was none other than their direct competitors. Su Ran’s crew was also broadcasting? Luo Ying frowned.
Was it a coincidence? It didn’t seem like it. Su Ran’s crew, as far as she could tell, was already well into the middle of shooting. There was no reason for her to air a live broadcast right now. Furthermore, there were numerous opportunities for a live broadcast, and it just had to happen now. It’s too much of a coincidence for anyone to accept.
Xie Yun was also a little surprised. He had also heard rumors that the two production teams had been at loggerheads, but he did not expect them to intervene to this extent.
The netizens ‘attention was limited. If two simultaneous broadcasts happened to overlap, viewers would be distracted..
