Chapter 313: Aren’t You Angry?
Translator: Zayn_
The Perfect Lawyer was broadcast on almost all television stations during prime time.
After the Editor’s Studio took over its position, its popularity and viewership ratings rose steadily, completely reaping the benefits.
In the beginning, there might be some viewers who complained that they didn’t want to watch another drama before they finished watching it.
However, as the plot unfolded, the character setting, plot arrangement, and even the lines and costumes of The Editorial Room completely dispelled the audience’s dissatisfaction.
There were more and more discussions about The Editorial Room on all the major social media platforms.
Soon, the audience realized that after the ending song of The Editorial Room, there was a long list of news editors and reporters on the list of people who were thanked.
Some of them were seniors in the news industry, while others were on-the-job editors and reporters.
Their names could occasionally be seen under the headlines of some mainstream media news.
As more and more people discussed it, some of them were curious about the reason why these people were thanked, so they asked familiar insiders.
After someone got the answer, a post appeared on the forum.
[Do you still remember when The Perfect Lawyer was promoted and compared to The Editorial Room? This question already has an answer.]
The long title made people unable to help but click on it to complain.
The second comment was, [The Perfect Lawyer has been taken off the shelves, how can we compete?] This comment received countless likes.
However, the author wasn’t in a hurry at all. He announced the answer first, indicating that The Perfect Lawyer wasn’t comparable. The Editorial Room was the best workplace drama in recent years.
Amidst the questioning voices, the author explained the reason.
[ 1 don’t look at viewership ratings or popularity. Numbers can be faked and popularity can be inflated. We all know that most of the time, these indicators are meaningless.]
[ What I want to compare is the ‘degree of effort’ of the two dramas, which is their sincerity to the audience.]
[ As everyone knows, the publicity of The Perfect Lawyer has always been about how it’s based on real cases. This gimmick is really used everywhere. Otherwise, this drama wouldn’t have flipped so quickly. But do you know? Almost all of the events in The Editorial Room are real! ]
[To be honest, the publicity for The Editorial Room is not even comparable to The Perfect Lawyer It’s not even comparable to some web dramas. It’s clearly true, but they didn’t use it as a gimmick. Other than that, there’s also the fact that the two main leads went to the news department to intern, but they didn’t specially publicize it. This really surprises me! ]
At this point, the author even sent a list of gratitude for the ending credits of The Editorial Room and a few news articles that Lin Siya and Xu Xingzhou had edited during their internship.
What was surprising was that there was also news of an international war!
That was when Xu Xingzhou acted together with the reporters as an editor.
From the content of the news, it could be seen that Xu Xingzhou had even gone to the place where the war had taken place.
[ These reporters have always been admirable, but to be honest, I’m really shocked that Xu Xingzhou can do this for his filming internship! Moreover, there are related plots later in The Editorial Room, and the acting skills of Xu Xingzhou and Lin Siya are particularly outstanding. ]
[ In order to perform well in a certain profession, they even went for an internship before filming. This reminds me of the entertainment industry in the past. Most veteran actors have such professionalism.]
[ Just based on this point alone, The Editorial Room has completely defeated The Perfect Lawyer It doesn’t matter if there are people who agree with me or not, that’s what 1 think anyway. Also, the films and television works produced by Shengshi Entertainment are all top-notch at the moment. I’ll definitely watch every one of them in the future!]
The content of the post was reasonable and well-founded. The news articles that were posted could also be found on relevant websites. All of them were traceable.
Therefore, other than a few people who disagreed, most of the people who replied agreed with the author.
Shen Xiyan’s praise for Lin Siya was as loud as she had been previously.
While everyone praised Lin Siya and Xu Xingzhou, they also ridiculed Shengshi Entertainment’s poor publicity!
No one expected that Lin Siya, Xu Xingzhou, and Shengshi Entertainment would be on the trending searches after hearing about it purely out of curiosity.
#How dedicated Lin Siya is#
#Xu Xing Zhou’s acting#
#Shengshi’s products must be exquisite #
#<The Editorial Room>: A sincere work of a workplace drama#
Looking at the trending searches, Chen Lan once again sighed at Song Qingyou’s good luck.
Especially after this post became popular, many people thought that Shengshi Entertainment did not put any effort into publicity. Thus, not many people felt that the sudden incident of The Perfect Lawyer had much to do with The Editorial Room.
After The Editorial Room successfully made its debut, the screenwriter Qing Meng’s popularity soared both inside and outside of the entertainment circle, thanks to the screenwriter of The Perfect Lawyer.
In everyone’s eyes, Qing Meng had done a good job in all three types of scripts: Fantasy, Machiavellian, and urban workplace. She could be called a genius screenwriter!
Moreover, Qing Meng’s science fiction novels were also selling very well.
The news of Qing Meng winning the Charles Science Fiction Award was inevitably brought up again.
The number of fans of the Weibo account “Scriptwriter Qing Meng” had directly exceeded ten million.
Some media outlets even believed that the screenwriter Qing Meng had made Shengshi Entertainment and Song Qingyou a superstar.
If Song Qingyou and Qing Meng were two different people, perhaps they would have been publicly praised by the media to sow discord.
But Song Qingyou and Qing Meng were the same person.
Therefore, Song Qingyou just laughed it off when the netizens said that without Qing Meng, there wouldn’t be Shengshi and Song Qingyou.
However, many people inside and outside the industry took it seriously.
There was an undercurrent between Song Qingyou and Qing Meng’s fans.
Chen Lan couldn’t help but defend Song Qingyou,
“Although Qing Meng’s script did contribute a lot, look at what they’re saying. So your acting skills are useless, and you didn’t pay for the company?”
Chen Lan was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing that the person opposite her did not change her expression, she could not help but purse her lips. “You’re not angry?”
“If I get angry, won’t I be playing right into someone’s hands?” Song Qingyou asked, amused.
“Someone?” Chen Lan was puzzled.
“Here.”
Song Qingyou showed Chen Lan the screenshot she had prepared in advance.
It was a few screenshots of a chat on Weibo.
The two sides of the conversation were the screenwriter, Qing Meng, and Shen Xiyan’s manager, Mo Zhenning.
According to the content, it was Mo Zhenning who proposed to sign a contract with Qing Meng and let Qing Meng become a screenwriter for Time Media.
“The reward is-”
Chen Lan’s eyes suddenly widened, and her voice went a few notches higher. “TV series, five million for each episode?!”
Song Qingyou nodded.
“Are they crazy? The best screenwriters in the country only get around 500,000 yuan per episode, and there are only a handful of them!”
After calming down for a while, Chen Lan finally reacted.
“Teacher Qing Meng even sent you screenshots of the chat. Does that mean she rejected them?”
Song Qingyou nodded. “Of course.”
“No matter how much the internet praises Teacher Qing Meng, 1 won’t have any objections. She’s worth it!” Chen Lan suddenly realized..
