How come it’s airing ahead of time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi turned her head and, seeing the chili oil at the corner of her mouth and the strong scent of spicy strips, was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snacking so blatantly, there was no one quite like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xia Shi no longer planned to restrict Weibao from eating spicy strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she was worried that Weibao’s figure would go out of shape, but now it seemed like Weibao was very good at taking care of herself; even after a month in the army, she hadn’t changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She need not worry at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat less of those; they’re unhealthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean she agreed to Weibao eating spicy strips?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Majesty the Empress was very happy, pulling out a big bag from behind her, “Don’t worry, I’ll just eat these, not too many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi twitched the corner of her eye fiercely and suddenly didn’t want to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiayang couldn’t help but laugh and cry; at times like these, only Xia Weibao could be so carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shi, “Originally, ‘Deep Palace’ was to air a month later. We also calculated the timing, so we worked day and night to complete the editing of ‘Allure.’By plan, after ‘Allure’ was over, ‘Deep Palace’ would air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody expected ‘Deep Palace’ to air early; it’s the whims of fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yan withdrew his gaze from the mirror and glanced at Xu Jiayang, “Whether it’s fate or someone’s doing, we can’t be sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we delay our broadcast?” Weibao blinked and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still not very familiar with the workings of the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!” Xia Shi explained, ” ‘Deep Palace’ is a big production with a whopping eighty episodes! They only air five episodes a week; it can run for over three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our production is small; it’s supposed to be fast-food entertainment. We can’t afford to wait three months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiayang took out his phone, “I’ll talk again with the head of the main drama streaming service. I used to be somewhat acquainted with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the call connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiayang stated his purpose and immediately, a chuckle came from the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Xu’s new work; of course, we’re very interested in purchasing it. However, just yesterday we bought the rights to ‘Deep Palace,’ and they’ve taken up the prime-time slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other time slots are also full; there’s a slot at four in the morning, but that’s too unpopular; how could we put Director Xu’s masterpiece in such a spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, ‘Deep Palace’ and ‘Allure’ are similar in genre; if they aired at the same time, it might invite comparisons and hurt Director Xu’s pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got another call coming in, gotta hang up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Wang, having hung up, snorted disdainfully, a look of scorn on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of drama dares come to my station? Do they think my mainstream video site is a recycling center for trash?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant immediately offered up a coffee with a laugh, “Exactly! Thinking they’re some great director. How dare they bring out a trashy show like ‘Allure’ to air; they’re not afraid of embarrassing themselves to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Wang leaned back in his chair, his middle-aged, corpulent body filling the entire seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His narrow eyes were slits, as his hand lightly tapped on the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some people just lack self-awareness,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” the assistant echoed, “The director’s acting strong, the female lead is a vase, not a single famous actor in sight, heard the investment is just one or two million, can’t even afford the actors’ fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit player in ‘Deep Palace’ has a higher status than all the actors in ‘Allure.’For a low-grade drama like that to say it’s confident, shameless.”\u003C\u002Fp>",704,"2026-06-06T16:21:59.440Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0a25d5b3ec5c3fa666e38b90142c8119e0fd70a2feeb9c73d6beb072284dbcd","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-404","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-402",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
