The Male Main’s Uncle Is Openly Obsessed With Me-Chapter 995 - Two Choices
Wen Jingping shivered uncontrollably when she heard the words “Mr. Dou.”
She swallowed her saliva and said carefully, “Mr… Mr. Li, what’s the matter?”
“It’s like this. Miss Wen should know that the drama you filmed previously has been released recently.”
“Yes… That is true.”
“I took a look. The viewership of the premiere of this drama is alright. But…”
No matter what they said, as long there was the word “but”, it was easy for problems to arise.
Wen Jingping naturally knew this. Her heart skipped a beat, and her expression froze for a moment.
“However, other than the premiere of this drama, the viewership of the later stages of this drama has dropped significantly. Its reputation doesn’t seem to be very good either.”
“This… this is only temporary. The audience for this show was already picky, and some people didn’t like to follow the show. They would only watch it from the beginning after the show was over. A temporary drop in viewership doesn’t mean anything. I believe that our show is so good and has accumulated a lot of experience. The viewership will definitely climb up slowly as the show continues to broadcast.”
“I hope so.” Li Yue’s tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he was not very interested in this, “As an employee of the same company, I naturally hope that Miss Wen’s drama will sell well. However, I have to remind Miss Wen not to forget the bet with Mr. Dou back then.”
Wen Jingping’s face turned pale and she said stiffly, “I… I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“Back then, Miss Wen promised Mr. Dou that as long as you were the female lead of this drama, you would be able to carry the viewership ratings. Even if there was no revenue, we wouldn’t let this drama suffer a loss. However, now…”
“Now that the drama has just been broadcast, everything is unknown.” Wen Jingping’s head was already covered in a cold sweat, and she interrupted Li Yue before he could finish speaking.
Li Yue was silent for a moment, suddenly, he smiled. “Miss Wen is right. The show has just started broadcasting. Everything is unknown. I just want to remind Miss Wen that if the viewership ratings for the later part of the show are really as Miss Wen said, it will be fine if the early investment returns to the revenue. However, if it loses money, I’m afraid that you will have to think of a way to make up for the losses incurred.”
“On what basis?!” Wen Jingping was so frightened that she blurted out shrilly. After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, “What I mean is that the success or failure of a drama is not just a matter of the female lead. What you just said is a little…”
“The success or failure of a drama is indeed not just a matter of one person. However, Miss Wen seems to have forgotten that you made this bet with Mr. Dou previously. Could it be that you want to go back on your word now?”
“No, I… I didn’t mean that…”
Li Yue did not give Wen Jingping a chance to refute, he continued, “Furthermore, why are the male and female leads called the male and female leads? It’s because they have the most scenes in the drama and are the most popular. In other words, they are here to get the viewership ratings. Unfortunately, your drama is a drama with a big female lead. No one else in the drama has as many scenes as you.”
To put it bluntly, if a female lead of a big female lead drama could not handle the viewership ratings, how could she call herself a female lead? Now that the drama could not get viewership ratings, the investors are losing money. Who else could they blame?
“I…”
“Miss Wen, please understand one thing. I’m here to inform you, not to discuss with you. You only have two choices. First, pray that this drama can really come back from the dead and get viewership ratings. Two, try to make money and pay compensation. Otherwise, you won’t be able to afford the consequences.”
