Chapter 521: Chen Xiang
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Legend of Gan Lan” had an unprecedented popularity. Not only were there discussions of it both domestically and overseas, but this plot had broken through the existing market.
Everyone liked transmigration dramas, but they were all about transmigrating to ancient times to live a good life and fall in love. There had never been a show like “Legend of Gan Lan” that criticized feudal society.
Women in today’s society had also joined the workforce. They had long disliked the plot of relying on the male lead and had always hoped that the female lead would have her own thoughts and future.
“Legend of Gan Lan” happened to satisfy their demand. She relied on herself to resist step by step. From numbness to waking up, she relied on herself. No male lead descended from the sky to save her.
Gan Lan walked out of her predicament alone and even reached out to save someone who was also in a similar predicament. Although she was a strong female lead, she still maintained her femininity and was not portrayed as a masculine figure.
This kind of plot was also very popular in foreign countries. Recently, they had fallen into a drama-watching frenzy.
Chen Xiang realized this after a photoshoot for the cover of the magazine. Everyone around her seemed to be following a drama.
She found her assistant and asked, “I’ve seen you guys watching the same television drama recently. What genre is it?”
Because Chen Xiang had a good personality and the people around her liked her very much, the assistant told the truth. She took out her phone and said, “It’s a domestic television drama called ‘Legend of Gan Lan’. The plot is especially good.”
Chen Xiang looked at Jiang An in the video and asked, “Is this a newbie actor?”
She had been away from the country for too long and did not know many people.
The assistant shook her head. “She’s not a newcomer anymore. Jiang An has acted in several works. She’s a very capable actor.”
Hearing the assistant say this, Chen Xiang said mischievously, “What about me? Don’t you love me anymore?”
The assistant blushed and realized that she had praised another actor in front of her boss. She quickly said, “Of course, I love Sister Chen Xiang the most.”
Chen Xiang was not angry to begin with. She just wanted to tease the assistant, and the topic quickly ended.
However, she realized that she could see this drama wherever she went. Even foreigners stumbled over it by watching it with subtitles. She wanted to know what was good about this television drama and find it to watch when she returned.
The next day, Chen Xiang said to her assistant, “I’ve watched Legend of Gan Lan. It’s indeed a very good television drama. Be it the plot or the acting skills, it’s top-notch.”
The assistant was very happy that there was someone around to discuss it. The two of them began to analyze Gan Lan’s final outcome.
The assistant clearly wanted a happy ending and wanted Gan Lan to be happy in the end.
Chen Xiang’s analysis was more rational. “So far, other than the first episode that briefly mentioned transmigration, it has never been mentioned again. Gan Lan is fundamentally incompatible with this society. Unless she returns to modern society, she won’t be happy. However, the television drama doesn’t seem to be developing like this.”
After hearing this, the assistant was a little depressed. She was not as energetic at work anymore. Chen Xiang also realized that she had unintentionally affected the other party’s mood.
She wanted to comfort her, but she really didn’t have time. Her work schedule was too full.
However, in the afternoon, she realized that her assistant’s mood had improved. She even had a smile on her face, as if she had encountered something especially happy.
Before finishing work, Chen Xiang asked, “Did something good happen?”
The assistant nodded. “I watched a variety show. The interaction between the two people in it was too sweet. They must be a couple.”
“What variety show?” Chen Xiang asked.
“It’s called ‘Baby Sets Off’.”
This name was obviously a parent-child variety show. Chen Xiang was curious about how people fell in love here. The assistant told her in detail that there was a family where a single mother took care of the children and her friend accompanied her to variety shows. However, they were especially intimate when they interacted. It was obvious that they were not ordinary friends. The children even called him father.
Chen Xiang asked, “Are they all actors?”
The assistant smiled and said, “One of them is the actress, Jiang An, who is acting in ‘Legend of Gan Lan’. The person who is very close to her is the head of one of the four great families in Jingdu City, Zou Bai.”
Hearing this name, Chen Xiang was stunned. She subconsciously asked, “What did you say that person’s name was?”
The assistant thought that she did not hear her clearly and shouted, “Zou Bai!”
Chen Xiang did not say anything. She stood rooted to the ground, thinking about something. The assistant panicked. She did not know why Chen Xiang did not move.
Her manager walked over and said, “What happened?”
