Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Filming a New Short Drama

Su Xingwan: [Do you have any requirements?]

[No, Miss Su, you just need to make videos like before, we won’t interfere, and we won’t interfere in the future either. Whatever you sell, the commission is all yours, Miss Su.]

[Okay.]

With this, she felt at ease. She had dealt with accounts and product promotion before, but some businesses play word games and end up making no money at all.

Manager Zhang: [Shall we sign a contract online another day?]

[Sure.]

She could just take a good look at the contract requirements by then. Although she had a good impression of this children’s clothing company, some things still needed careful attention.

After she turned off her phone, the three little ones had to go to sleep too.

Because they played late today, they quickly fell asleep in bed without needing to hear a story.

The next day, she received a call from Director Jiang about the short drama.

"Su Xingwan! I knew I didn’t misjudge you, your short drama went viral!"

Although it didn’t reach the level of a blockbuster, it still made quite a profit.

Comment section.

[Wow! Is there a new entry in the short drama world? The female lead’s looks are on par with those of long drama actors!]

[What a beautiful female lead, and her clothes look great too.]

[Hmm, I think the male lead here isn’t as good-looking as the female lead.]

[Although this short drama is quite awkward to watch, it’s so satisfying!]

[Speaking honestly, wasn’t the female lead of this short drama supposed to be someone else?]

[Isn’t this short drama about a fake heiress from Boss Xu’s company? It has always been Wang Suxin starring in it. She’s the ace of the company, why was she suddenly replaced?]

[Didn’t you see the news earlier? Wang Suxin and Xiao Hui’s resources have been downgraded, and they’re playing supporting roles now.]

Someone kindly sent that netizen a link.

Su Xingwan clicked on it and saw it was trending.

#Explosive! Wang Suxin and Xiao Hui can only play villainous roles?#

[Damn, these two short drama actors are my favorites, how did they become reduced to only playing supporting roles?]

[Who is revealing that they can only play villainous roles? This is way too unfair!]

[They must have offended someone, right? This pair is the only short drama couple I ship.]

[They were so popular online before, one of my favorite short drama couples, and now they’re gone.]

[The short drama about a fake heiress has already been released, I watched it, and it wasn’t Wang Suxin and Xiao Hui starring in it. They had their roles taken.]

[The female lead of that fake heiress drama looks cold, doesn’t look like a good person at all.]

[Uh, she just acted in a short drama, you don’t even know her true personality, it’s not right to make random guesses and slander her?]

[But her face looks like it has been surgically enhanced, her features are more delicate than some long drama actresses.]

[Hey, the filters used in short dramas are even more exaggerated than those in long dramas. If these short drama actors appeared on long drama screens, they wouldn’t look this good at all.]

[Right, they might even look ugly.]

[Without the filters, the leading actress might have poor skin and look ugly.]

[Why do you care so much? As long as she looks good in the short drama, isn’t that enough?]

Su Xingwan noticed that no one was discussing the plot, everyone was talking about her face.

"Su Xingwan, come over to my place tomorrow, I have a great script for you!"

Director Jiang had once told her that he would really find her if he had a new script.

"Alright, I’ll come over right away."

Su Xingwan took the three little ones and headed to Director Jiang’s place. The short drama script she saw this time was almost purely a romance drama, while the previous fake heiress drama was at least a counterattack story, this script had a much larger portion dedicated to romance.

Director Jiang winked at her somewhat ambiguously: "Let me tell you, this time, the male actor I found to pair with you is very handsome! He matches you well. If you make this script a hit, I’ll make you the leading actress in all my short dramas."

Su Xingwan opened the short drama script on top and found the lines quite straightforward, even a bit awkward, the kind that would make her blush.

The plot definitely had the feel of an online novel.

People used to only dare to secretly read under their blankets, now they’re boldly bringing it out in the open to film.

Su Xingwan was hesitating whether she should refuse.

Then Director Jiang said, "Your drama did quite well this time. Boss Xu said that if you make the short drama well, they’ll pay you a daily salary of six thousand, are you excited?"

The words of refusal from Su Xingwan were immediately taken back, and with a doubled income, she felt she could accept it.

Moreover, she found that Director Jiang was very approachable with no airs of being a director at all.

"Shall we start filming now?" asked Su Xingwan.

"Not today, maybe tomorrow? The handsome guy I found on the street can only come over tomorrow."

Su Xingwan: ???

Is it really that casual?

She found out that Director Jiang, if nothing else, was truly a face value enthusiast.

When Su Xingwan got home, she received a notification message, indicating that Little Su Luo and Little Su Yan were selected for a Republican-era drama crew.

Ye Yixing was lying on the couch at home watching short dramas. He usually liked surfing the Internet, checking out what’s happening.

So he quickly saw that Su Xingwan’s short drama had aired, and this was his first time watching such a short drama, the female-oriented kind.

Seeing the satisfying yet awkward plot, he critiqued while unknowingly got engrossed.

After watching, he said, "No wonder short dramas are so popular nowadays, they’re really captivating!"

Ye’s father came out from the study and saw his son binge-watching that drama at home for almost half an hour.

He thought his son, who usually wasn’t reliable and didn’t like watching TV, was surprisingly getting so hooked today.

After watching, Ye Yixing planned to share the short drama starring Su Xingwan with his cousin.

He just typed in a line, but then remembered that his cousin doesn’t watch dramas at all, except when it comes to the three little ones. Otherwise, he’s always busy with work.

Oh well, forget it.

He probably wouldn’t be interested anyway.

Ye Yixing stuffed his phone into his pocket and left the house.

Soon after, he received a message from Su Xingwan, saying that she had to shoot a short drama and the three little ones also needed to go for filming, so she couldn’t be there and asked him to take care of them for a few days.

Ye Yixing raised an eyebrow.

Isn’t this an opportunity? The three little ones could have some one-on-one bonding time with his cousin.

He immediately agreed.

**

"Uncle Ye, where are you taking us? Aren’t we going to Auntie’s place?"

"Not this time, you’re going on set to act, and your aunt is also busy. So, I’ll be taking care of you these days."

The three little ones listened and pouted unhappily.

Ye Yixing saw that their little mouths could hang a soy sauce bottle.

Tsk tsk, how inseparable are you from your aunt.

It’s only a few days, and you can’t bear it.

Ye Yixing felt he needed to create more opportunities for them and his cousin.

Before long, they might not want to return to the Lu Family at all.

The three little ones’ working time is different from their aunt. They only need to shoot for half a day each day, with Little Su Hua having slightly longer filming hours.

After they shoot in the morning, in the afternoon, Ye Yixing takes the three little ones to the office.
