Chapter 312 Viewership Drop

Filming was still going on in an orderly manner, and the competition between the two production teams was still going on.

It was just that Li Yue’s “The Chu Family’s Empress” had a little glitch recently. The plot of the latest episode and the plot of the previous episode were somewhat out of sync.

This made many fans who were following the series very confused. They thought that the director’s staff had been careless and misplaced the series.

However, a day had already passed. No matter how many fans left comments on the director’s Weibo, and even if some bold fans directly tagged the director, the latest series had not been changed.

Now that things had come to this, the fans also knew what was going on. The series had not been misplaced. The latest episode was this episode.

However, the storyline really did not connect. Chu Xuan, who was played by Jiang Ran, clearly hated Chu Xiao so much that she wished that she would disappear from her sight forever. How could she possibly have such a caring attitude towards Chu Xiao in the latest episode?

The fans were puzzled. Since they could not get any response from the director, they would go to the main leads to try their luck and see if anyone would come forward to answer this matter.

As Li Yue was both the movie queen and the main lead, many fans who were following the drama left comments under her Weibo, hoping that she could give a reasonable explanation. Since the fans had already come forward. Li Yue couldn’t remain indifferent.

No matter how many problems there were in this episode, it had nothing to do with her.

However, Li Yue was too lazy to reply to the news herself, so she let her manager take full responsibility for this matter.

Her manager was naturally on Li Yue’s side. Hence, she replied as Li Yue, “I naturally know about the problems in the latest episode. Maybe it was because I didn’t get along well with the supporting cast, which caused her to be in the wrong mood during the performance. This is something that I didn’t consider when acting with a junior.” It sounded like he was taking the blame on herself, but the meaning between the lines was — the plot of this episode was wrong entirely because the supporting cast didn’t act well and didn’t grasp the character. Therefore, it made the audience feel strange. For a moment, the online attacks were all directed at Jiang Ran.

It wasn’t that Jiang Ran didn’t have fans online, so after this incident came out, someone spoke up for Jiang Ran, “Didn’t the movie queen say that it was because she and Jiang Ran didn’t get along well that Jiang Ran didn’t have a grasp on the character’s psychology? Can you guys stop being so aggressive?”

Unfortunately, Jiang Ran had too few fans and the movie queen was on the other side, so the words that she said for Jiang Ran were quickly drowned out.

The matter became bigger and bigger and soon, it reached the director team.

The director looked at the ugly comments online and those that strongly suggested that Jiang Ran should be replaced. He was also very conflicted.

Although Jiang Ran’s acting skills were indeed not up to standard, the problems that appeared in the latest episode’s plot had nothing to do with Jiang Ran.

It was because Li Yue had requested to change the script. During the process of changing, the scriptwriter discovered that if the plot here was also changed, then the subsequent plot might not be changed but rewritten.

Therefore, in order to save some effort, the scriptwriter did not make too many changes to the storyline here. Initially, he thought that after the filming was over, he would let the post-production crew cut a little and broadcast the entire storyline together so that the audience would not be able to see any small flaws.

However, he did not expect Li Yue to request for the filming to be broadcast at the same time. This resulted in the post-production crew not being meticulous in their editing. Furthermore, it was a single episode broadcast so the flaws in it were magnified infinitely.
