Chapter 391 - Cheering For The Male and Female Leads
Chapter 391: Cheering For The Male and Female Leads
The number of new subscriptions on the streaming platform also reached a new high during this period, which pleased the company.
Most of the audience had not held much hope for Su Shengjing’s acting skills. After all, he had retired from the industry for several years, and his acting abilities had probably been lost somewhere. However, after watching the television series, they realized that this assumption was wrong.
Although Su Shengjing had very few scenes, his acting was excellent.
He brought his character, the eldest Senior Brother, to life. He showed the audience all the facets of the character, who was deeply in love with the female protagonist but was unable to get her. The character finally died to save the female protagonist and immersed the audience in the drama!
Initially, they had been cheering for the male and female lead, but after seeing Su Shengjing’s acting, they were all clamoring for a new side.
The female protagonist should be together with Eldest Senior Brother. Why wasn’t Eldest Senior Brother with her?
The screenwriter was asking for a beating!
Seeing Su Shengjing’s character gently smile at the female lead before dying, the audience burst into tears. Many of them went to the official Weibo account of the drama and asked if the drama crew could film and add some additional scenes for Su Shengjing.
This was impossible, but the audience was reluctant to accept such a storyline.
Su Shengjing had made them fall in love with this character. Now that his character was dead, they no longer had the urge to follow the drama.
If it weren’t for An Yuan, they would probably have given up on the show. The show was actually a common fantasy drama story; its plot was no different from that of other similar adaptations. It lacked some novelty.
Hence, most of the audience members were targeting the actors. After Su Jiu’s and Su Shengjing’s scenes ended, the viewership ratings plummeted. Additionally, the male protagonist was a fresh acting student who had received the role because he had resources to support him. His acting skills were not good, and he had a stiff face the entire time. The more the audience watched him, the more pretentious they felt he was. Many of them felt that his performance was not believable and that he relied on An Yuan to support him through the series.
Some viewers even went to the official Weibo account every day to post: This is the first day since Su Shengjing is gone. I really, really miss him.
This is the second day since Su Shengjing is gone. I really, really miss him.
This is the third day since Su Shengjing is gone. I really, really…
When Han Jiani saw that the response was so enthusiastic, she changed her mind. Initially, she had planned to let Su Shengjing take on a few more supporting roles in films and dramas to train his acting skills. However, his performance in the drama was remarkable. When he acted with An Yuan, it did not feel awkward.
This meant that Su Shengjing had the ability to be the male lead for a show.
In fact, Han Jiani had already received quite a few scripts. Among them, two of the scripts had good male lead roles, and the writers even said that they wanted Su Shengjing to play the male lead.
Perhaps, he could consider them?
Han Jiani didn’t expect Su Shengjing to grow so quickly.
It didn’t seem like the situation took a long time to turn around. Su Shengjing’s reputation was slowly turning around. His past scandals seemed to have been forgotten. However, as a top manager, Han Jiani was well aware of the principle that the winds howl around the highest peaks.
Based on the current trend, it was only a matter of time before Su Shengjing would become a big A-list name again. He would be in the path of many people. If his past were dug up again, it would be very unfavorable for him.
As she thought about this, Han Jiani felt a headache coming on.
Why did Su Shengjing get himself involved in so many scandals?
However, based on her understanding of Su Shengjing, he was not someone who would do something like that.
He was the kind of father who would rush home as soon as he finished work every day. No matter how busy he was, he would find time to accompany his daughter. The moment he saw his daughter, he would smile from ear to ear. There was no way Han Jiani could associate him with “violent maniac,” “arrogant and condescending,” or “a low-class, shameless jerk.”
