2413 Twins
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. I think Zheng Lida is in danger. His acting skills are quite good, but with this set of clothes, his shortcomings in acting are exposed. He’s too modern, unlike the people of that era.]

The second-last person to appear was Xinyue.

The recording took about 15 minutes, but the final cut was only about five minutes.

There were many parts where the sequence didn’t make sense.

This was her and Luo Lin’s usual treatment.

Therefore, although Xinyue had gained some fans from this show, she was publicly acknowledged as a bimbo with no acting skills.

However, this time, in just five minutes, everyone was shocked.

She was wearing a dress and a cute floral hat, which made her look like a little princess. Her curly hair made her cute face look even more exquisite. She really looked like a carefree little princess from the Republic of China.

There was no need for her to act or say any lines. Just by standing there, she already embodied the character she was playing.

Perhaps it was because the clothes were compatible with her.

In just a few minutes after her appearance, her name became a trending topic. Many people were asking who she was, what her name was, and what she had acted in before.

[She’s so cute. It’s really awesome!]

[Not only is she cute, but she’s also beautiful. Why hasn’t she appeared before?]

[There were photos of her before, but she didn’t have many scenes, so no one noticed her, right?]

[Please give me the uncut version of her performance!]

[Wow, it looks so good! Is there a dress with the same style? Can I get it?]

[Give me the same one immediately! I wonder if it was designed by Mrs. Wang or Qiao Weiyang!]

In a short period of time, Xinyue’s popularity soared.

Finally, it was Luo Lin’s turn.

He was dressed like a young master from the Republic of China. He wore a white pinstriped shirt, a vest, and a dark suit. He was fashionable, young, and handsome, with the innocence of a young man.

One second, he was waving at his mother and smiling. The next, his face turned cold as he faced the killers chasing him. He took out his gun and pulled the trigger.

He was stunningly handsome.

The script he received had terrible logic, and the lines were a little messy. Coupled with the problem of hasty editing, his handsomeness at this moment was just a fleeting cloud that soon dissipated.

Everyone only remembered his gaze and his clothes.

However, it was just a gaze and a set of clothes. There was really too little room for imagination. It was not enough for people to empathize with him and understand the rest of the unfathomable plot.

The votes on the internet were collected by the production team. They were in regards to Wang Shuqi and Qiao Weiyang’s designs, as well as the few actors’ acting skills.

“Director, we can go and take a look at the situation. Then, we can make a decision,” the assistant director said.

“Let’s begin.”

Before it could officially begin, someone knocked on the door.

The people who arrived were Wang Shuqi and Zhang Xi.

“Mrs. Wang, Zhang Xi,” the director said enthusiastically. “Please take a seat!”

“I heard that you’re going to reveal the results now? Can we stay behind and watch?” Wang Shuqi said.

“Well…” The director actually didn’t want anyone to be involved in their internal work.

Wang Shuqi had long heard that the entire production team had always been very supportive of Qiao Weiyang. Her fans had also helped attract attention to the production.

Therefore, the internal opinions and judgments about Qiao Weiyang’s clothes, as well as the results of the voting, would definitely be changed to please Qiao Weiyang’s fans.
Wang Shuqi thought highly of herself and had been praised all her life. How could she tolerate such a thing?

Hence, she had to personally keep an eye on the voting. It was impossible for her results to be tampered by others just to put on a show for Qiao Weiyang’s sake.

“Director, is it inconvenient?” Wang Shuqi asked. “If it’s not inconvenient, let Qiao Weiyang come and take a look too. That way, the fairness is guaranteed, right?”

“That’s not the reason. However, since you wish to be present, there’s no harm in bringing you there. But let me make it clear first that the votes were taken straight from the internet. We found a professional data agency to conduct the procedure. Since that’s the case, we have to respect the data.”

“Of course. Have you seen it, Director?”

The director smiled and held up the information he had received. “Look, it’s from them. It’s even sealed with wax. Let’s scan it and view it on the computer.”

“Please get Qiao Weiyang to come over too,” Wang Shuqi said.

Since they were competing this time, Qiao Weiyang had to readily accept her defeat.

Otherwise, she would think that Wang Shuqi was taking advantage of her seniority to bully a young lady like her.

“Okay, please wait a moment, Mrs. Wang.”

Qiao Weiyang was talking to Xinyue when she heard the production team invite her over. She stood up and said, “Why are you looking for me?”

The director’s assistant said, “Mrs. Wang wants to see our data and came over with Mr. Zhang. To be fair, she wants to invite you over to take a look too.”

Qiao Weiyang immediately understood the key point. Was Wang Shuqi afraid that the production team would be biased toward her?

She was thinking too much.

Qiao Weiyang walked in. Zhang Xi smiled and said, “Ms. Qiao, please take a seat. Today, the production team wants to see the data from this episode and the number of votes for the actors. We invited you to come and take a look.”

“Okay. Then let’s do it.” Qiao Weiyang sat down.

The director briefly spoke about the authority of the data and the fact that no one had seen the information yet, in case anyone became suspicious.

“This is the original copy that we just scanned. According to the data on the first page, everyone can tell that the viewership ratings for this episode have increased by 180% from the previous episode!” The director pointed at the data projected on the big screen and said with uncontrollable joy on his face. “It’s also the highest viewership ratings since this show started.”

Wang Shuqi was calm with a smile on her face. She was very confident in herself. She knew that she was famous, but she didn’t expect her to be so popular that her appearance boosted the viewership ratings so much.

Actually, the director had already seen the second page. The data displayed on it showed that Qiao Weiyang’s appearance accounted for 65% of the traffic, while she accounted for 15%. Both made up 80% of the total.

The remaining 20% was the effect achieved by everyone else, including the entire production team.

The director was also very surprised by the data. Qiao Weiyang’s contribution was too terrifying.

The popularity of Xinyue’s clothes was naturally to Qiao Weiyang’s credit.

Hence, she alone contributed to most of the show’s traffic. It was not empty talk.

‘Qiao Weiyang is really amazing,’ the others thought to themselves.
