When Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, he sneered.
“Look at Mi Rui’s current situation. Other than Star Brilliance, who else is willing to take her in?”
Gu Xiao was not surprised by this. “I heard that they want to see how the influence of ‘The Consort’ would be.” They just wanted to give it one last try.
Everyone knew that the works produced by Star Brilliance Entertainment were the best at promoting celebrities. When “The Consort” was broadcasted, Mi Rui might be able to rely on this oriental drama to rise again.
With enough popularity, there might be a better entertainment company that would take a fancy to Mi Rui.
In the end, it was still because Star Brilliance’s qualifications were not high enough. Although they had a good reputation among the audience, they did not have many connections in the industry. In addition, Star Brilliance Entertainment already had Lu Mo. If another female celebrity came, they would still be worried.
When Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, the coldness in his eyes intensified.
“Do they really think that they can come to Star Brilliance anytime they want to?”
Gu Xiao placed the tablet in Chu An’s hand, and the promotional video that had already been opened started to play.
When Chu An saw this, he temporarily put Mi Rui’s matter to the back of his mind and watched the video of The Consort with Gu Xiao.
The main content of “The Consort” was the story of the female protagonist being chosen to enter the palace as a concubine. In the end, amidst the pincer attacks of various forces in the palace and the competitive atmosphere in the palace, she grew from an ignorant girl to an empress who was good at strategy.
Every character in the story had a relatively complete storyline. The development of every plot twist was interconnected, and every choice had long since left a foreshadow.
Gu Xiao had also read the script preiously. If this story could really be filmed well, it might be able to attract more female audiences.
After all, dramas centred around a powerful female lead was still very popular among the female audience.
Although the promotional video was only three minutes long, it showcased the main characters, especially the few main female characters. Just a glance could attract the attention of the audience.
After the promotional video was played, Chu An picked up the tablet in his hand. As he read the comments of the netizens online, he said to Gu Xiao, “The promotional video is not bad.”
Gu Xiao rested her head on Chu An’s shoulder, and her gaze landed on the tablet. Together with Chu An, she read the netizens’ comments.
“If even you can say that, it seems that the promotional video this time is indeed not bad.”
Chu An had always been very strict with these things. Perhaps it was because Chu An’s ability to read people was too strong. As a civil official by the emperor’s side, his ability to read people’s expressions was even better.
Therefore, even if Chu An didn’t know how to act, he could tell at a glance that the actors were acting wrongly, or rather, wrongly as their roles should act in the drama.
In this aspect, even Gu Xiao could only admit defeat.
[F*ck! F*ck! That look in Mi Rui’s eyes just now was too scary! If I hadn’t looked at the cast list, I wouldn’t have believed that that Concubine Xiao was Mi Rui!]
[I feel that this drama is really not bad! The feelings emitted just from their eyes is so exciting! As long as the logic is on point, I will watch this drama!] [Ha! Star Brilliance is really arrogant now! They actually dare to film dramas featuring power and love struggles in the imperial palace? Don’t they know that these dramas are no longer popular and would only incur losses? I’ll see how Star Brilliance falls!]
[Please, if we hate watching palace battle dramas, we just hate those that are completely illogical! Who can watch that kind of television drama that doesn’t have any logic at all!]
[There are so many beautiful ladies. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just based on their looks, I’m willing to continue watching!]
Gu Xiao and Chu An roughly read the comments of the netizens. Although it was inevitable that there would be some negative comments, as long as there was generally no problem, the two of them wouldn’t interfere.
Chu An put the tablet aside and reached out to touch Gu Xiao’s waist. He used his chin to gently rub the top of Gu Xiao’s head.
“If Mi Rui really agreed to sign the contract with Star Brilliance after The Consort, would you still be willing to accept Mi Rui?”
Mi Rui only agreed to the contract with Star Brilliance after “The Consort” was broadcasted. That meant that the conditions offered by the other companies were not too good, or rather, they did not meet Mi Rui and Ning Shuang’s expectations. That was why they wanted to reconsider Star Brilliance.
In other words, the Star Brilliance was only Mi Rui and Ning Shuang’s last alternative option..
