Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard

Chapter 767: The Actor Playing Jun Yilan Is…

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

The majority of the public had already become passive towards ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ.

After its closed filming and long-term refusal to reveal their male lead, as well as propaganda from ʼConcubine Ningʼ, ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ was now seen as just a drama that had come to a premature end and was considered a waste of Tang Xiaoʼs masterpiece.

”Now that things have reached this point, I donʼt think they have any chance for a comeback,” Bai Yuʼs assistant cheered after she compared the level of anticipation between the two dramas. ”Yu Jie, our drama is about to start broadcasting. Iʼm sure, with your level of appeal, the results are going to be amazing. Just sit back and watch the ratings go through the roof.”

”This kind of thing still depends on luck. Fortunately, I have always been lucky in this regard,” Bai Yu said to her assistant as she got changed in the change room.

”By the way, itʼs almost the new year. Can I go home early? My family is having a family reunion tonight...”

”You can go home after you drive me home,” Bai Yu waved her hand generously. Unfortunately for her, Bai Linlin was overseas and her husband had returned to the US. Who would have thought that sheʼd spend the new year all on her own in Beijing? But, it didnʼt matter. Winning against Tangning was already enough to make her happy.

...

Before she knew it, Tangningʼs babies were already 6 months old. To spend the new year together, Tangning gathered both the Tang Family and Mo Family together. Even Bei Chendong and Han Xiner attended.

Everyone fought to carry the babies and the two smiley rascals ended up receiving a large pile of red pockets because the elders loved them so much that they didnʼt want to let go.

”Ning Jie, is ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ really going to lose to ʼConcubine Ningʼ? The feedback Iʼve seen from recent entertainment news hasnʼt been very good. Whatʼs going on?” Han Xinerʼs biggest concern was the topic that everyone was currently discussing within the industry. If they were simply discussing it, she would have let it slip. But she hated the fact that people were praising ʼConcubine Ningʼ while stepping all over ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ.

”Donʼt underestimate these two. If you have spare time to care about others, why donʼt you use that time to think about when youʼll marry me,” Bei Chendong appeared from behind Han Xiner. After he was done talking to her, he turned to Tangning and offered, ”If you need help, just give me a call. Since Iʼve won Best Actor before, I do hold a bit of authority in the industry.”

”No need,” Mo Tingʼs cold voice immediately drowned out Bei Chendongʼs warm enthusiasm.

”Why must you be so proud?”

”At least Iʼm a father. What about you?”

Bei Chendong: ”...”

Bei Chendong had even failed his marriage proposal. So, he had no choice but to look away to avoid the awkwardness.

Mo Ting let out a gentle laugh before he wrapped his arm around Tangning and led her over to the elders so they could celebrate the new year together. Although in his 30 plus years of life, he had never spent the new year with so many people, it didnʼt seem like such a bad thing.

...

A few days later, there was another meeting at Hai Rui. The operations executive once again brought up the issue with ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ. He felt that Mo Ting needed to make a decision soon because they were currently in a very difficult situation. ʼConcubine Ningʼ had already climbed up the ranks and become the most anticipated drama, while ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ wasnʼt even in the top 10.

”If President Mo doesnʼt come up with a plan soon, ʼConcubine Ningʼ is going to crush us. Itʼs almost time for them to begin airing.”

”Let them air then...” Mo Ting replied.

”But...”

”If I canʼt win this battle, then you can take over the position of CEO,” Mo Ting said straightforwardly. ”The meeting will end here. You can wait to see the next step of my plan.”

Since Mo Ting had already made a promise like this, the man had nothing else he could say.

Seeing ʼConcubine Ningʼsʼ stance, Mo Ting decided to change his strategy a little. Weekend broadcast? There was no need to show mercy in that way...

Since they were currently ranked number one as the most anticipated drama, he was going to let them go ahead and air it. He was going to let Bai Yu taste a little sweetness before she experienced failure and despair.

Of course, the fact that Hai Rui had not announced their male lead made Bai Yu assume that Hai Rui had given up fighting. This was good news for her. It meant she no longer had to waste any more energy.

[ʼConcubine Ningʼ premiere on fire! Bai Yu deserves the name of Viewership Queen!]

[ʼConcubine Ningʼ continues to perform well on its second day. At its highest point, reaches a viewership rating of 2.6]

Soon, the opening of ʼConcubine Ningʼ broke all previous viewership ratings. After just two days, everyone was filled with praise. While happily watching the broadcast of ʼConcubine Ningʼ, many people were reminded of a drama called ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ which tried to pose as a competitor. Unfortunately, life was filled with ups and downs...So they assumed, by now, ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ had already fallen to the depths of the abyss.

”ʼConcubine Ningʼ is so good, itʼs honestly a good drama to watch.”

”The drama is of a high quality. I guess they have a conscience.”

”Tangning previously claimed that the script had been changed. But, from the looks of it, it seems more like she was angry because her role had been stolen.

”Itʼs karma. Look at how the ʼForensic Concubineʼ has come to a standstill.”

”Pfft, I donʼt care. I like watching ʼConcubine Ningʼ and I like Bai Yu.”

After seeing the comments online, Bai Yu was prepared to pop a champagne to celebrate. As long as the viewership ratings remained at the current level, the Fei Tian Best Actress Award in February would definitely be hers.

”I never thought Mo Ting would become such a weakling.”

But, Bai Yu would have never imagined that after this snowy night, everything would change.

The next morning...

An explosive piece of news appeared in Beijing. Mo Ting had announced that he was going to act!

Thatʼs right, Mo Ting was acting!

All of a sudden, the Big Boss of Entertainment stirred up a storm in the industry. Some were doubtful, some were shocked, some just wanted to follow the crowd and others were waiting to be pleasantly surprised. When everyone heard this news, their reactions were different.

When Bai Yu heard this news, she simply sneered, ”What game is he trying to play this time?”

But, just as she was waiting to see how her viewership ratings would surpass her previous record, an interesting video began circulating in Beijing...

It was a collaboration between Hai Rui and a famous browser. As soon as the netizens opened the browser, the video would automatically pop-up. As the video was of a high quality, it quickly attracted the attention of youngsters...

As for the content of the video, it was none other than a climactic scene from ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ: the scene where Jun Yilan was forced to abdicate his thrown on his wedding night with Qing Lan...

”Hey, I saw a video today...I think it was related to ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ!”

”Me too!”

”+1!”

”F*ck, to see this video, I repeatedly opened the browser. I tried so hard to see it. Did you guys notice who the actor playing Jun Yilan was...?”

”My God! Itʼs Mo Ting! Iʼm going to explode. Quick, letʼs tell everyone. Itʼs f*cken so good that I want to cry!”

”Oh dear God, itʼs Mo Ting; it really is Mo Ting; itʼs actually Mo Ting! I canʼt believe it! Have you guys seen it yet? If you havenʼt, you should hurry over and check it out...”
