Chapter 98. Mischief
{«The stars above», a drama that continues to surpass it's ratings.}
{Critics say that «The stars above» have the potential to become the best drama in the first quarter of the year.}
{The reason a drama filled with rookies became a big hit.}
Looking at the articles on the screen, Ren smiled faintly. The interest in «The stars above» is going higher and higher like its ratings.
In his first episode it achieved the highest ratings of 1.8% and it had continued to surpass it every week.
Just last week, it surpassed the 2% ratings and the critics are already claiming it to be the best drama of the first quarter of the year.
Because of that, the interest in Ren was going higher and higher but it was not just Ren.
People has also quite liked the other characters. The character of Chen Mei had even gotten some fans and Xiao Rin had made a spectacular debut as Yiren.
Because of her beauty and cuteness, Xiao Rin fans are growing everyday.
Ren was happy for her but the fact that he was the most happy about was that he had managed to surpass the reactions and ratings in his previous life.
Compared to his previous life, «The stars above» had made much more of a impact.
Ren was really happy because of it as he had a warm feeling in his heart everyday. It was the feeling of achievement he had gained.
His hard work was finally paying off and he was really happy about that.
Everyday, he is getting tons of casting calls from reality shows and he had even heard that there are talks of commercials going around.
Everyone, he had met this weekend had congratulated him for the success of the drama as they had stopped in their tracks.
He had even received almost a hundred text messages from his friends, family members and people he didn't even knew.
Ren thought his fingerprints would rub off after replying to each and every one of them.
Still, he wasn't annoyed in the slightest. Instead, there was nothing more rejuvenating.
Every time he was congratulated, it felt like he was being rewarded for all the hardships he had endured up until now.
It felt like his feet weren't planted on the ground but instead floating in the air. Since his heart would swell with pride all the time, there were many times when he smiled unwittingly.
On the other hand, it also felt a bit odd to him.
The people who didn't even look at him properly previously when he had met them were now trying to get close to him.
They were really transparent in their flattery but Ren knew that the whole industry was like this.
He could just accept it and ignore it, he knew that he will only go higher now.
No, he wanted to go higher than his current position. As he was going higher and higher, his ambition was also increasing.
Maybe, it was because he had not achieved much in his previous life but now, he wanted to see how much he can achieve in this life.
"Ah, Ren, I thought you was sleeping."
As Ren was reading the articles, a voice came from behind him.
It was White bear who was currently running his eyes to stop himself from sleeping.
Although most of the shoots had already been completed, there were still some shoots of the last episodes left.
They were currently shooting those scenes and because of that, Ren and White bear schedules were still full.
They were currently inside a break room, resting between a small break.
"No, I was getting bored. So, I am just reading some articles."
"You should sleep when you can. Your schedule will get more busy after the drama completes his run."
Another tired voice ran out. It was the voice of Chief Han who was in front of Ren.
"Well, I know that but I have a scene next, I don't think I should sleep."
"You should learn something from her. Look, how she is sleeping so soundly."
Chief Han said as he laughed quietly and Ren glanced at his side. There was Xiao Rin sleeping there.
She was still looking beautiful when sleeping. She was sleeping really quietly.
As if she was a small hamster, she was cuddling next to Ren with a peaceful expression on her face.
"Well, she would be tired after the filming. She is still 16 year old."
"You are talking like you are old or something. You are also only 20."
Chief Han and White bear laughed as they started talking with each other.
"By the way, have you heard that there is a offer for the whole cast of «The stars above» to appear in a reality show."
Chief Han suddenly said attracting Ren's attention.
"Like a group interview or something?"
"Yeah, it's something like that but they will also play games with the cast. It's like a family talk show."
"So, are we going there?"
Ren asked as he tilted his head and Chief Han said as he shrugged.
"I don't know about that but I heard there is a talk like that. It's still unconfirmed but I think it will soon be confirmed as the drama is hot right now, Arc production would want to show the cast together and it will surely got good ratings."
"Yeah, if the whole cast appeared together on a show, it will surely get good ratings."
White bear said as he nodded and Ren also understood the fact.
"Maybe, it will happen after the filming will finish."
"Yeah, we don't have many scenes left. There is only the ending scene and the kis....."
As Chief Han was saying that, he stopped in the middle and he let out a cough out of his mouth.
"What??"
Ren said as he stared at him.
"No, you must be feeling happy being able to do such a scene together."
Chief Han said as he smiled stiffly but Ren could see laughter in his eyes.
"Yeah, actors are really lucky sometimes."
Even White bear joined him in his mischief as he smiled.
They were clearly making fun of him but Ren knew he can't do anything at this moment, so he just stayed silent.
"But aren't you glad. No, don't take it as bad but if I was able to do something like that with a beautiful girl, I would be on cloud nine. I would even pay.….…."
Chief Han voice suddenly became silent as he stared at Ren's side.
Ren followed his line of sight and saw Xiao Rin sitting there with a weird expression on her face.
'Just how much she had heard!'
That was the thought in Ren's mind at that moment.
