BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2631 - 2631: Twins
When Qiao Weiyang heard that the film she acted in before she fainted was being broadcasted, she was immediately interested. “Which platform is it broadcasting on? How’s the publicity going?”
“Well…” Xinyue glanced at Su Zhuoqian, not knowing if she should say anything.
“Zhuoqian is going to the company later. Let’s go out and shop. You can tell me then.”
Su Zhuoqian originally wanted to accompany Qiao Weiyang, but seeing that she wanted to go shopping with Xin Yue excitedly, he did not force her.
After breakfast, he drove the twins to school before going to the company.
Qiao Weiyang was really curious about the broadcast of Twins. As soon as she went out, she couldn’t help but ask again.
Xinyue said, “I don’t know what it was like when you were filming, but the show is indeed being broadcasted now. Your scenes are much fewer. Aren’t you the female lead? Moreover, I heard that it was quite tough for Xiao Bao to film at that time. The show is more than halfway done, but he has only appeared in a few scenes. His presence is almost nonexistent.”
“How’s the response?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“The response is not bad, but most of the attention is occupied by Li Qiru. I remember that when she filmed, she was the second female lead? But when the show was broadcasted, she actually became the female lead?”
Xinyue said, “Look at the comments on the internet. Most of them are saying that she stepped on you to climb up the social ladder. But there are articles saying that your acting skills, looks, and everything else are inferior to hers. She’s in the limelight now.”
The two of them found a cafe and sat down. Qiao Weiyang roughly checked the situation online.
The current articles were all released by Li Qiru. They had indeed boosted the popularity of the TV show, but almost all of the netizens were saying that Li Qiru was stepping on her to climb up the ladder.
Qiao Weiyang roughly watched the drama. The production team directly stated that the lead actress was Li Qiru. Qiao Weiyang was just a special guest star. In other words, they treated Li Qiru as the female lead!
In the original script, Qiao Weiyang’s character and Li Qiru’s character were sisters born in the same era. However, because they made different choices, they had completely different lives.
Li Qiru’s character was not a completely bad person. She was also forced to make that choice. However, her helplessness was contrasted by Qiao Weiyang’s character’s struggle against the times. She tried her best to preserve her humanity and make a choice. It made people unable to empathize with her.
How did Qiao Weiyang become the second female lead?
She quickly went through the contents of a few episodes of the TV show and realized that just as Xinyue had said, many of her scenes had been deleted, and Xiao Bao’s scenes were almost nonexistent.
Li Qiru, on the other hand, had many scenes. Every detail paved the way for her entire life.
Qiao Weiyang thought for a moment and knew why the producers did this.
She said calmly, “During the time I fainted, I couldn’t participate in the publicity, let alone promote this show. In fact, the last two important scenes were supposed to be filmed on the night of the wrap party. My storyline wasn’t complete?enough,?so?the?producers?had?no?choice?but?to?settle?for?the?next?bestthing.”
“What about Li Qiru? The producers had no choice, but she’s been releasing articles that have been stepping on you.”
“Well, it depends on whether she’s qualified to do so or not!” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. She took out her phone and called Lu Mingjue.
“Are you going to participate in the publicity for Twins? Sister-in-law, do you want to rest a little more?” Lu Mingjue said. “Besides, the female lead of this movie is Li Qiru. I have to explain this to you…”
“There’s no need to explain. I understand the producers’ difficulties, but just because I understand others doesn’t mean that everyone can step on me. Arrange for me to participate in the latest publicity!”
“Okay! The latest publicity event is being held tonight in the commercial building on Fudu Avenue.”
The famous commercial building on Fudu Avenue.
As Twins was currently being broadcasted, the current publicity was overwhelming.
Tonight was a meet-and-greet between the main cast and fans.
Almost all the creators arrived at the event location.
Undoubtedly, the most popular person now was the female lead of the TV show, Li Qiru.
However, the number of fans holding Qiao Weiyang’s fan placard at the event location remained high.
Qiao Weiyang had not attended any public events for half a year. The female lead of Twins had also been changed to Li Qiru.
However, all the fans still refused to give up. As long as there was publicity for Twins, they would come to the event location to show their support, hoping that Qiao Weiyang would appear.
When Li Qiru’s car came in from outside, most of the people on both sides were Qiao Weiyang’s fans. Her name was drowned out by Qiao Weiyang’s name, making her fans look a little lonely.
She didn’t have many signs to begin with, but she saw Qiao Weiyang’s name everywhere. This made her uncomfortable.
Li Qiru glanced outside and pursed her lips slightly.
Her assistant couldn’t help but whisper, “How unlucky!”
During this period of time, Li Qiru’s manager had spent a lot of time and effort to step on Qiao Weiyang and support Li Qiru in all sorts of ways. Li Qiru was already very popular on the internet, giving people the impression that Li Qiru was doing well. However, every time there was an offline event, Qiao Weiyang still had countless fans.
Even though Qiao Weiyang did not appear in any of the publicity events and the organizers could never give an explanation, the number of her fans had never decreased.
This made Li Qiru’s entire team a little unhappy.
“Forget it. We don’t know which old man is keeping Qiao Weiyang by his side now,” the manager said. “Bad luck can’t come to us.”
The assistant asked, “Has Qiao Weiyang really left the industry? Why isn’t she giving an explanation?”
“Who knows? Anyway, she hasn’t appeared for so long. We’ve gotten the producer to edit more scenes for Qiru, but Qiao Weiyang didn’t resist or say anything. Maybe she really doesn’t care what’s going on.”
“That’s true,” the assistant said, but when she saw the signs for Qiao Weiyang, she was a little unhappy. “Forget about Qiao Weiyang. After all, she’s been famous for a while. But who does Jin Lan think she is? She actually has fans showing up for her. It’s just that when she was filming with Xu Wangzhi, the photos of her that were released were shocking. The show hasn’t even been broadcasted yet. Who knows how much photoshop was done? The fans are blind.”
When Li Qiru heard this, her expression changed. Her assistant’s words had hit the nail on the head. She no longer cared much about Qiao Weiyang, but the supporting actress, Jin Lan, had also stepped out to steal the limelight. It was really frustrating..
