Chapter 373
Huang Kaiqin could not believe her eyes when she saw the data.
"With Ye Peiwen''s acting skills, how is that possible?" she asked angrily.
Her manager did not say anything. The television station''s viewership ratings statistics were very
authoritative. The figures that they announced could not be faked.
Huang Kaiqin said, "It''s just the first day. Most of the views are contributed by Shi Jin''s fans. They
can contribute views for now, but can they maintain it forever?"
However, on the second night, not only did the viewership numbers not decrease, they even slowly
rose. Ye Peiwen''s acting skills gradually improved, and there were discussions about it on Weibo.
Liu Ning even worked overtime to produce theter episodes so that he could catch up with the
audience.
Seeing that the viewership numbers were rising bit by bit, the base of "Twilight Years" was no longer
Shi Jin''s fans. It was reced by themon masses.
Everyone was discussing all kinds of questions: "Should a family''s financial power be managed by
one person?"
"Did housewives contribute to society?"
"Whose surname should the second child take?"
"Is it normal to ask for betrothal gifts when getting married?"
"Is epting gifts from the opposite gender while in a rtionship a sign of disloyalty?"
These were the hot topics of society and could even be considered the sore spots of many people.
The screenwriter, Ms. Luo, had interviewed many married men and women and came up with many
interesting ideas. She cleverly blended them into the storyline.
After airing for three days, the viewership numbers were very optimistic. The next episodes were
scheduled to air next week.
Weibo was filled with people wailing, crying and screaming for the television station to not be so
cruel, because they only air six episodes a week.
Even the production team of "Our Life" could not sit still anymore. They hinted to Huang Kaiqin,
"Ms. Huang, weren''t you part of "Twilight Years?" Have you experienced any interesting things? You
can discuss it with the guests in the show. Or, discuss the topics brought up in "Twilight Years." If
you haven''t seen it, I''ll get someone to write a plot outline for you."
Huang Kaiqin did not watch a single episode. She did not want to watch it at all!
At this point, asking her to bring this up was obviously to gain attention.
All the previous news articles had been deleted, and it was impossible for her to recover them
again. Now they wanted her to suck up to "Twilight Years" for attention? Her pride would not allow it.
"Is that all we can say about married life? People can still live happily after getting married!" Huang
Kaiqin said.
"We still have to give the audience hope."
She rebutted the production team.
The production team did not want to offend her, so they could only find other artists to bring up the
topic.
Her manager was caught between a rock and a hard ce. "Ms. Huang, if other artists bring up the
topic, your poprity will drop."
Huang Kaiqin did not expect Ye Peiwen to have such acting skills.
Her manager said, "Let me post some photos of your daily life first."
Her manager selected a few photos of Huang Kaiqin having afternoon tea and posted them. She
was wearing a diamond ring and enjoying her exquisite afternoon tea at a high-end five-star hotel.
Based on past circumstances, her fans would praise her for being rich, happy, and for marrying well.
Thements section would be filled withments like "I''m so jealous" or "1 want to live like
Sister Qin." However, today, one of the fans couldn''t help but say, "You''ve been showing off your
diamond ring every day. It''s been so long since you made youreback. Where are your results?"
Thement section exploded because of that singlement.
"I know right. Sister has made hereback a while ago, but why hasn''t she been in any television
dramas? I''m a fan of Sister''s career. I still hope to see Sister produce more good works like she did
in the past and not only appear on variety shows." "That''s right, that''s right. Didn''t we agree not to
be a housewife? But you''re just showing off your diamond ring. Where''s your career?"
"Please speak with your works’"
"What''s going on with the studio? Why can''t they arrange proper jobs for Sister? Why do they
always have to build the richdy image?"
There was no end to thesements. After deleting one, the fans would post another.
When Huang Kaiqin saw that her manager had finished posting on Weibo, she clicked on it, wanting
to enjoy thepliments from her fans. However, after flipping through two pages, her expression
suddenly changed.
"Are these people crazy?"
Who she hated the most now were her fans. Previously, they were moring for her to leave the
production team of "Twilight Years." Now, thements section was saying that she did not have
any works? Who did she give up "Twilight Years" for?
It was all for these fans! She even offended Liu Ning! Now they were using her of not having any
works?
The fans were moring for her to stop filming variety shows.
Even the Weibo ount for "Our Life" was filled withments from her fans.
This matter quickly went viral and attracted the attention of passers-by. Everyone still remembered
what Huang Kaiqin had done in the past.
"It''s a little funny. Back then, Huang Kaiqin gave up on ''Twilight Years'' to film ''Our Life.'' Now the
fans are anxious?"
"Ye Peiwen is really popr now. She''s been endorsing a lot of skincare products recently. She''s
really lucky to have picked this up."
"What? Thementer above doesn''t know that Ye Peiwen had originally recorded an episode of
''Our Life?'' It was Huang Kaiqin who was jealous and insisted on removing Ye Peiwen and joining
the show. That''s why she gave up on ''Twilight Years.'' I bet she didn''t expect to throw away a
watermelon only to pick up a sesame seed."
"But then again, Ms. Ye looks really young and her acting skills are not bad. If it were Huang Kaiqin,
she might not be able to achieve this standard."
"Huang Kaiqin and her team are too funny. They even listened to the fans'' arrangements, now they
deserve to see Ms. Ye be famous."
After Ye Peiwen became famous, her manager andpany quickly adjusted her future ns.
They were prepared to let her enter the film industry and shoot a few more works. After this
experience, she was also very interested in television dramas.
Shi Jin arranged to meet her for a chat.
After the two of them had coffee, Shi Jin took out a script. "This is a television drama that is
currently in the midst of casting. There is an older sister role in it that suits you quite well."
"But this main production team seems to be quite strict?" Ye Peiwen nced at the names of the
team members and immediately felt a little scared.
This production team could be said to be extremely professional. Every time they filmed a television
drama, they received good ratings.
The directors of this team all had their own strengths as well. They worked together and each had
something to bring to the table. In recent years, they could be considered as role models in the
television drama industry.

"You work so hard to improve, are you afraid that they will be strict?" Shi Jin smiled. "I''ll go with
you."
"We''re going now?"
"There''s no time like the present," Shi Jin said with a smile.
Ye Peiwen took a deep breath and followed Shi Jin.
At the entrance of the audition venue:
