“Good news?” Xia Qinghan froze for a moment. “What good news?”
“I have a new drama for you.”
Xia Qinghan was shocked.
“A new drama?”
“Right.” Bai Meixue was in a good mood. “It’s an idol drama, and you’re playing the female lead.”
Xia Qinghan’s eyes widened, “Really?!”
“Righ,” Bai Meixue nodded. “Guess who the male lead is?”
Seeing her mysterious look, Xia Qinghan forgot about the unpleasantness that had occurred just now and couldn’t help but start guessing..
“Give me some hints first.”
“He’s a popular heartthrob.”
Xia Qinghan’s expression stiffened with a bit of disgust as she asked. “It isn’t Nie Zehai, is it?”
Nie Zehai’s popularity had continued to rise.
The previous incident with Gu Qiang brought him more popularity, and after being “abused” in such a manner, the fans had become more supportive of him.
Now he often appeared in front of the audience and continued to show his face everywhere.
It could be said that he was the hottest heartthrob nowadays.
“It’s not him,” Bai Meixue shook her head. “Much younger than Nie Zehai.”
Although Nie Zehai was considered a young man, the entertainment industry was full of artists much younger than him.
Nie Zehai was almost 27-years-old, and there were younger actors.
Xia Qinghan thought for a while, finally hesitating.
“Could it be… Shi Shuhang?”
“Yes!”
Xia Qinghan was immediately shocked, “It’s really him?!”
Shi Shuhang was a young heartthrob who had not debuted for long, and was only in his early twenties.
He was previously a supporting actor in a movie for young people, and because of his handsome looks and likable persona, he managed to gain many fans.
Moreover, Shi Shuhang was supposedly from a rich family.
Goodlooking, good character, good family… He was a proper male god. How could the fans not be enthusiastic about him?
Now their company was preparing to make an idol drama, and Shi Shuhang was the male lead.
“As the female lead, you can start some relationship rumors with Shi Shuhang…”
“Aunt Xue!” Xia Qinghan’s cheeks reddened slightly and she pouted, “I have a boyfriend!”
Bai Meixue glared at her. “It’s just for you to hype! It’s not like you’re really with him. This is all the usual strategy.”
In the entertainment industry, in order to make themselves or their work hotter, stars would pull others along to create hype.
The love life of stars was always a great concern for fans.
As long as they hyped it, popularity and attention would naturally come.
Everyone understood this kind of set-up.
As for things like the other party having a boy/girlfriend, that was even easier.
Anyway, they would not admit anything, and fans would be left to speculate.
“Besides, who says that if you are rumored to be together, you must be together?” Bai Meixue gave her a lesson. “Anyway, you just deny it, and other people will deal with the rest of the matter.”
Being lectured by Bai Meixue, Xia Qinghan just remembered the news she had read before.
It seemed that this was indeed the case.
It was rare for a star to not be rumored.
However, this also depended on the situation.
If the other party already had a public other half, then you could not do so.
Otherwise the couple rumor would not work, and you could be treated as
a homewrecker.
“This time, the new show is very well funded. There is a lot of thought put into it, and it’s ready to be a hit.” Bai Meixue said mysteriously. “And this show is invested in by Shi Shuhang’s family!”
Xia Qinghan’s eyes widened.
“What?!”
“This is basically tailor-made for him. Don’t you think it’ll be hot?”
Xia Qinghan couldn’t help but nod. If this was really the case, when the time came, with all the publicity and Shi Shuhang’s popularity, the show would definitely be a hit!
