I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 330 – Are you not aware of your own standing at all? (1)

Comments online came abruptly and massively.

The cast of The Ultimate Warfare were all well-known, and each and every one of them had upwards of tens of millions of fans. This movie had recruited almost all big shots in the entertainment circle and had high publicity since its preparation stage. Its official website already had 200,000 followers as of now.

Looking over at Qinhuai’s Riverbank, from the producer all the way to the actors, none of them had been heard of by anyone and there was not much to show for.

Online, everybody was buttering up to the winner and stomping down on the loser. The fans of the cast of The Ultimate Warfare wholeheartedly despise the crew that were thrown together for Qinhuai’s Riverbank. The Ultimate Warfare could not have received more compliments and Qinhuai’s Riverbank, on the other hand, had been bashed to no end. They mocked that Qinhuai’s Riverbank was asking for it by trying to challenge The Ultimate Warfare with their cast and story. And that they should pick a different launch date if they didn’t want to be crushed.

Many movies set to launch around the April – May time frame decided to wait and observe for that exact reason.

The production team was not fazed by this.

Everybody understood that what the fans were saying online was the truth and that their setup was no match of The Ultimate Warfare. Nevertheless, they were also well aware that in order to get out of this rut and earn themselves a standing within the film industry, the movie itself was the key.

The recent rumors about the movie and the cast and the reviews of the movie was caused by businesses being in cohort with officials and the disgruntled members of the Lu family spending some behind-the-scenes money.

Ye Zhen had high confidence in the content of the movie. When she saw the overwhelmingly negative comments online, it reminded her of past rumors, so she asked Meng Jie to go shopping with her.

Ye Zhen figured that the originator of the earlier rumors finally stepping up and apologizing had a lot to do with Meng Jie’s involvement.

Ye Zhen had no idea what kind of deal Meng Jie reached with You Jing to get her to give up on antagonizing the movie, but what she knew was that she owed Meng Jie a favor that she should have repaid a year ago. It had been delayed because of matters concerning Old Master Lu.

Meng Jie did not turn down Ye Zhen when she received her call and arrived at their agreed upon meeting location at 2 PM.

As opposed to the very first time that she had met Meng Jie when she exuded weariness that could not be slept off and seemingly weighted down by many other issues, she was now much more uplifting, rejuvenated, filled with ambition and a new-born kind of joy.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs. Lu.”

Ye Zhen smiled and said, “it’s alright. I only got here not too long ago.” She studied Meng Jie quietly. She noticed the curvature of her eyes and brows and the sparkles in her eyes. She was elegant and charming in the way that she moved. She was a whole different person compared to a year ago.

“I have been meaning to thank you for the incident regarding all the rumors about my cast. Unfortunately, it had been much delayed with everything that had been going on. Both Beichuan and I appreciated Miss Meng’s involvement in this matter a lot. Should we be able to be of any help in the future, please feel free to reach out to Beichuan and I.”

That was a problem, a very weighty one.

Meng Jie, on the other hand, chuckled when she heard it. “No need to be so serious, Mrs. Lu. I, too, am part of the cast and have been working with the others for over half a year. I have a pretty good idea as to what kind of people that they are, which is why I do not wish to see rumors like that about our team. It is no big deal.”

That might be what Meng Jie was saying to her, but Ye Zhen still would not take this matter lightly.

Even though Meng Jie did not elaborate, Ye Zhen could still figure that this was far from over with You Jing. Meng Jie must have made some promises in order to get You Jing to back off.
