Shi Jin did not take the name of the Yue family seriously at all.
Old Madam Yue lay down with a sigh. For a moment, she did not know if her ideals were right or wrong.
***
After the post-production of “Wind and Rain”, which Liang Xinran starred in was complete, the show was officially broadcasted.
Liang Xinran began to cooperate with the publicity.
!!With Jinxin as the screenwriter, the entire production team prioritized quality. The quality of the entire film was very good.
At first, the market did not think highly of Liang Xinran.
It was mainly because she had been in the industry for several years and had always been a supporting actress. This was the first time she was playing the female lead, so it was normal for the outside world to not think highly of her.
The sound of it made her feel apprehensive, too.
“It’s going to be broadcasted soon.” Liang Xinran poured a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table.
Gu Jingyuan walked over and replaced her coffee with milk. “Do you still want to sleep after drinking coffee so late at night?”
“I’m a bit nervous. When I’m nervous I want coffee. I don’t want milk.” She was aggrieved.
“Then I’ll drink some red wine with you.” Gu Jingyuan took the red wine and walked over.
Liang Xinran took the red wine from him and said softly, “Don’t just think that I’m cheerful every day, I actually want to make a breakthrough in my acting skills. I want to get more good roles and scripts. Although I think my acting skills are alright and I’m improving in every movie, in order to get better resources on the market, I still have to have a popular drama and traffic.”
When she finished, she downed half the glass.
“Xinran, your efforts will be recognized by the market.”
“Now is the time to test me,” Liang Xinran said with a smile. “I wonder what the effect will be after it’s played.”
“I’ve seen the clips, and Shi Jin told me the whole show has a nice texture. I’m an amateur, but she’s a professional. If you don’t trust me, don’t you trust her?”
“Of course I can trust her, but there are too many factors affecting the market. But you’re right. Shi Jin is a professional. Even if this show doesn’t go viral, I’ll still be seen by more people. As long as I work hard, I’ll definitely get better and better!”
Gu Jingyuan hugged her. “You definitely will. I believe you.”
“Quick, it’s about to start.” Liang Xinran nervously focused on the television.
She only got her first female lead role when she was almost twenty-six years old. Compared to many people in the circle, it was a little too late.
She’d started late and wasn’t expected to win…
Liang Xinran held the red wine glass in her hand.
Gu Jingyuan took her glass away and placed his hand in her palm.
She gradually immersed herself in the plot, and her nervousness slowly relaxed.

Orchid Pavilion.
Shi Jin was also watching the television series seriously.
Fu Xiuyuan walked over, placed the milk in front of her, and sat down with her.
He never watched television, so it was hard for him to tell what was good or bad.
“Is it nice?” Shi Jin asked him, tilting her head.
“The plot is not bad, but I can’t tell whether the actors have good acting skills or not,” Fu Xiuyuan replied seriously.
Shi Jin laughed and fell into his arms. “You’re not objective. I wrote the plot. You praised me on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Only if you deserve a compliment.”
“Then I’ll accept your compliment.”
Shi Jin opened WeChat and sent Yao Jiahong a message. “I want all the data on Wind and Rain later.”
After the first four episodes of Wind and Rain, discussions and splashes began.
After Shi Jin received Yao Jiahong’s data report, she had already concluded that this show would definitely be popular.
Liang Xinran’s acting skills improved very quickly and the details were grasped perfectly. She was also very compatible with the male lead.
As for the plot, Shi Jin was very confident in her plot.
Sure enough, after a while, the ratings, discussions, and views of Wind and Rain began to rise steadily.
Even though there were also haters who criticized Liang Xinran, her fans increased visibly.
The increase in her career was due to the increasing number of script invitations her manager received. The business corporations she received also began to advance by leaps and bounds.
In the café.
Liang Xinran sat opposite Shi Jin and smiled at her as she handed her the gift.
“I’ve been to a couple of events recently. The brand gave me a necklace. This one fits you perfectly. I wondered what it would look like on you as soon as I got it. Give it a try.”
“Help me.” Shi Jin opened the box. The necklace inside was very beautiful. It was not very expensive, but the style was simple and elegant.
Liang Xinran stood up and said as she helped her put it on, “Shi Jin, I want to announce my relationship with Jingyuan to the public.”
“What did my brother say?” Shi Jin asked.
“It’s on.”
She took out the mirror and showed it to Shi.
“It’s beautiful. The style is new, but it fits everything.” Shi Jin loved it. “Thank you.”
Liang Xinran sat down. There was a rare hint of worry on her usually smiling face. “He said that marriage is inevitable and he will be with me in the future. But he’s afraid that it will affect my career if it’s made public now. Shi Jin, my manager also said that if it’s made public now, many production teams might not want me anymore. He’s afraid that it will affect the relationship between the couple in the show, and he won’t be able to get those high-end brands in business. This market is still a little too harsh on girls.”
“Xinran, this market is very harsh on women. It’s true that many people lose fans once they announce their relationship, but if you’re sure you don’t want to hide it from your fans, you really need to consider this matter.”
Liang Xinran nodded. “Yes, I know. I haven’t established my footing yet, so it’s not convenient for me to announce it. But if I don’t announce it, I’m afraid that I will be flustered if they happen to catch me off guard.”
“Take the initiative. You’ll be safer that way.”
Shi Jin knew that this pair was indeed a little different from her and Fu Xiuyuan.
She did not announce it back then because Fu Xiuyuan had made many arrangements for her. Basically, no paparazzi could get close to her and her private life could be guaranteed.
Liang Xinran and her brother often appeared in Imperial Capital University, so there was a high chance that they would be photographed together.
Liang Xinran gritted her teeth and made up her mind. “You’re right. Even if it temporarily affects my career, I should still take the initiative. As long as I work hard enough, the production team will see my sincerity. Why can’t a woman have both a career and love?”
At the moment, scripts were constantly being sent to Liang Xinran. Some of the young female celebrities and the companies behind them already felt threatened.
Liang Xinran was completely a rising star. When no one was bombproofing her, she suddenly exploded and successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
Seeing that she was about to enter the market to take a share, some companies could not sit still anymore.
