“My President Daren” was about to begin broadcasting and Jiang Nian was still facing a huge problem: poverty. She was really poor. Poor meant no money; no money, no way to carry out propaganda. Without propaganda, was there a difference between an angel with broken wings and one with no wings at all?

Jiang Nian didn’t shoot “Five Million” for self-entertainment. She hoped that more people would see her drama, see that she was excellent and talented, and, most importantly, she hoped to earn a little money. After all, she invested so much energy into it. She even bet the house she’d owned for a few years. How could she get it back?

Besides, she had collected so much “honor” money. She was the eldest sister – how could she take her younger brothers to fly if she had no real skill? I’m afraid her status would be lost.

Jiang Nian felt that she couldn’t hide anymore and had to take out her ultimate weapon.

She didn’t say a word and took out her beauty dan and threw it into her mouth. Half an hour after eating, Jiang Nian still had yet to experience the legendary running to the toilet and sweating black grease. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was pallid, dark circles hung under her eyes, and there were a few little acne caused by poverty anxiety.

After movie was filmed, she had been editing and had not rested. At this moment, she looked like a ghost. Jiang Nian held her face, scared, and said nothing. She rolled into the quilt and fell asleep.

She was awaken in the middle of the night by the extreme heat and she was so stinky that she rushed to the bathroom to take a bath. After coming out, she looked at herself in the mirror. Even the acne was gone.

The effect of this beauty dan microdermabrasion and acne treatment was really good.

Jiang Nian was full of confidence. She believed that she could absolutely swindle the golden thighs with her beauty!

Just as Jiang Nian was anxious here, Zheng Qi, Bi Lei, and Chen Xin were also anxious there. They now understood the horror of poverty more than anyone else.

It hadn’t been long since they followed Jiang Nian. They no longer had the arrogance when they first met, nor the spirit at that time. They were also very scared. Their lives were getting worse, not only tortured by poverty, but also by their brothers. As a result, the carefreeness of young people was missing from them.

It couldn’t help but make one feel that the power of poverty was infinite.

Bi Lei had been thinking about publicity for a long time. Although he’d had a few little girlfriends in the entertainment industry, he wasn’t very famous. Besides, he couldn’t go back to find someone to help him after breaking up. Not to mention, he hadn’t touched the entertainment industry much; although he knew a few good publicity companies, they spoke with money, and his face wasn’t big enough that a word could let people help for free.1

Although he had eaten with his brother and some big stars, there wasn’t any real friendship. He didn’t even have any of their contact information. It was unrealistic to find them empty-handed.

After thinking about it, Bi Lei had a good discussion with Zheng Qi and Chen Xin, and finally found a problem that they ignored.

In addition to holding press conferences or madly advertising on various channels, there was also the possibility of a marketing campaign on Weibo, where one could either buy a hot search or reach out to big Vs2?and naval forcesX. Of course, these all required money.

Of course, there was one way that didn’t require money.

Bi Lei’s brother had a Weibo account with tens of millions of fans.

Bi Zheng was a sullen man. He had registered a Weibo account when he marched into the entertainment industry a few years ago that he used either to repost his investments or show off his wealth. But he looked handsome so there was a large group of Weibo users calling him husband and commenting ‘handsome husband marry me’ and the like. Bi Lei also spurned his brother for being pretentious before. At this moment, he felt he was very fortunate to have a vain brother.

Couldn’t it be used?

There was also Zheng Ershao. Although Zheng Ershao was low-key, he followed the trend of the times and also made a Weibo account with real-name authentication and millions of fans.

These were all ready-made channels, and it was time to use them. Mosquito meat was still meat.

As for Chen Xin: “..I can be the lookout.”

So the three planned together and the crime began that night.

As the saying went, the depth of night was the perfect time to act.

Chen Xin and Bi Lei worked together while Zheng Qi originally acted by himself. Where did he know that he’d attract a partner just by going to the toilet in the night and skulking around? Grandma Zheng was old and very playful. Seeing her grandson so sneaky, she couldn’t help but want to do bad things together. Zheng Qi was unable to coax her back to her room, so he could only take Grandma Zheng together.

After entering the room, of course, Zheng Qi went straight to the bedside table. But he also led his grandmother, sneaking carefully and cautiously. When they finally came to the bedside, cold sweat almost wet his clothes!

His grandmother who was unable to stand the excitement and whispered in his ear ....Zheng Qi was so tired and cautious: “Grandma, shh ~”

Grandma Zheng smiled so hard her false teeth were going to fall out: “Shhhhh, I know shhh Shhh! ”

Zheng Qi: “......”

Zheng Hao just turned over, Zheng Qi and Grandma Zheng froze together, and their hairs stood up!

Bi Lei and Chen Xin had a much easier time. After all, young people could easily handle technology, and stole the cell phone, sent out a tweet, and then left quietly.

The night was calm as if nothing happened.

The next morning, when Jiang Nian woke up, she was ready to kick off her beauty plan. She co-hosted a meeting with some of her young masters. When necessary, she could sacrifice her beauty to complete her dream.

“Five million” was about to start broadcasting and they had no money for propaganda. And it was impossible to go without- how could she make money without influence?

Just when she was crackling in her calculations, Zheng Qi, Bi Lei, and Chen Xin dropped a bomb in the “Shen Li Gang” chat.

A screenshot, the official Weibo fan of “My President Daren” had gone from a few hundred fans to tens of thousands!

Shen Li Qi Qi Ge: “Jiang jie, look at our little propaganda, the effect showed immediately.”

Shen Li Chief Lei: “Although we have no money to publicize, we rely on wisdom.”

Shen Li Little Gold: “Yeah!”

Jiang Nian was of course very happy. Although she didn’t know how Zheng Qi, Bi Lei and Chen Xin did it, it was absolutely amazing that they could increase tens of thousands of fans overnight!

Now, coupled with her beauty, why worry they’d fail? Of course, she couldn’t forget to ask how they did it?

Shen Li Qi Qi Ge sent a picture.

Jiang Nian took a closer look.

Bi Zheng: [The new drama “My President Daren”, which was shot with our eldest sister, is going to be broadcast this Thursday. This is a super good-looking idol drama. If you love me, you will support Jiang jie @Zheng Hao: [Let me tell you, my eldest sister Jiang jie’s “My President Daren” is particularly good-looking! Everyone tune in on Thursday night!]]

Finally, they linked the “My President Daren” official Weibo, with a promotional trailer attached.

There were very many artists who wanted a relationship with Bi golden father. There were even a few star directors who reposted his Weibo.

Jiang Nian: “......”

....No, it must be the way she looked. She is not the eldest sister, not the eldest sister, she can still use the beauty plan to be a little lover!

She immediately opened the Shen Li chat and said, “Hurry up, invite them for a meal. I will come to thank them in person!”

Shen Li Qi Qi Ge: “Jiang jie, my second brother said there’s no need for thanks, it’s just a trivial matter. You don’t worry about it. ”

Shen Li Chief Lei: “Yeah, yeah, this is a trivial matter, so no special thanks are needed. Isn’t it to help us, we’re all brothers. This trivial matter is nothing.”

Shen Li Little Gold: “Yes, Jiang jie.”

Jiang Nian understood it. She was afraid these golden young masters had done something to offend her gold thighs. It’s likely they stole the phones of Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao Bo. Otherwise, with their temperament, Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao would never do this in a million years, even if they softened their attitudes towards her. Considering the way her younger brothers were shirking now, they may be hiding somewhere shivering.

Jiang Nian touched her beautiful little face. Would her beauty be of any use???

****

[President Bi’s Wife] was a veteran big V. She saw immediately when Bi Zheng tweeted at three in the morning. The loving support of his “Jiang jie” made her very jealous but, after watching the promotional video, she found that the production was quite good. Although they were all unfamiliar raw faces, the handsome men and women also looked very pleasing, and the soundtrack and effects were also very comfortable.

Not surprising; wasn’t it easy for Mr. Bi to invest in a small online drama?

The promotional video also seemed to show a decent product. It was the style of normal idol dramas so, of course, it was okay to support it. There were quite a lot of fans with this same idea. After all, it was promoted specially by Bi Zheng and Zheng Hao. They were quite curious about what the legendary ‘Jiang jie’ filmed.

Bi Zheng had also been a celebrity in half of the entertainment industry for the past two years. Most of the time, the news would show that he and a certain big-name ate dinner together. In addition, he was rich and handsome, which was naturally more eye-catching. So his Weibo was immediately brought to the entertainment news, and even brought “My President Daren” with him.

Anyway, there was now propaganda. At 7 o’clock on Thursday, “My President Daren” was finally launched.

[President Bi’s Wife] watched on Apple video early. In the first 25 minutes of the episode, the production and overall tone was very good and didn’t lose to the big productions of Star TV, with a clear rhythm. The beginning showed Chen Ming, the male lead played by Chen Qing, driving his Maserati to his alma mater’s school founding festival where he ran into the female lead. This was a very Mary Sue plot but, because the acting skills of the two sides were good, it was quite enjoyable. The handsome man in the suit bent over and lifted the fallen heroine, so that the girlish heart of was agitated!

Probably the older she was, the more she liked to watch this kind of idol drama without mind.

After the hero and the hero met, they secretly poked each other’s emotions, and they secretly poked together, and the two soon got better acquainted ..4

A lot of voices in the barrage5?said, “This couple is a mudslide6?in the idol drama. Isn’t this just the second episode? ”

“This is better than the kind of ‘you misunderstand me, I misunderstand you, you listen to me say I do not listen to the tone that I do not listen to’. My husband was right when he said it is really good. This drama is pretty good.”

“Am I the only one who noticed that the male lead drove Maserati yesterday and a Rolls-Royce today? ”

“And the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist....”

“Sure enough, it’s my husband’s eldest sister. How rich is this crew!!!”

The rhythm of “My President Daren” was relatively fast due to time’s sake but did not seem very abrupt. Jiang Nian in paid special attention to this when shooting and editing. After all, this was her first work. The male and female masters met several times during the first episode. Each time they got along, the ambiguous atmosphere between them made the viewers’ hearts burst. At the end of the second episode, they started dating directly. Later, they defeated the second female. And, when the rumors that the hostess was a little three being held by a gold master flew, the male lead’s proud appearance at the height of the crisis had the audience screaming.

The rhythm was good, the plot was well grasped, and a lot of viewers who decided on a whim to take a look became fans. In addition, there was also the inner voicing of the female lead, which was always somehow inadvertently unbearable. When the five million dollars were handed over to the heroine to let her leave, the audience was a little stunned, and some people began to talk in the barrage.

“High energy ahead! High energy ahead! The heroine becomes a paper shredder, the five million check is at the end of its life!”

“Brothers, come and mourn for the five million passed away.”

“Poor thing. ”

“......”

Wasn’t the standard Mary Sue plot like this? The male lead’s mother took out five million in front of the female lead’s face and asked her to leave her son immediately, otherwise blah blah blah....The female lead will swear to die that she and the host are in true love, she loves his person absolutely not his money, how can they insult her with money?

“....No, wait, how do I feel that Hanhan’s eyes are glowing when she looks at the five million?”

“Glowing? She even seems a bit shy? Am I imagining it?”

“It seems like it..eh? There definitely must be something wrong with my eyes!”

It so happened that the heroine Song Hanhan in the video finally looked at the check and the voiceover said, “Is it that, as soon as I accept this five million cheques, I’ll walk the world alone, eat, drink, buy, and buy. Then wait for the hero to find me, abuse me, and torture me to start the love-you-hate-you-want-to-kill-you plot line? ”

The lively barrage collectively said, “..........?” This is the devil!

The heroine played by Hanhan Han gave a pitying glance at the check, and righteously said with heartache, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Shen, I can’t accept this check. You may not believe it, but I am sincere to Shen Ming and not because of his status. ”

—”If she isn’t threatened and forced to the end, she will never accept it!”

The lively barrage once again: “..........!!!”

What magic is this!

[Presiden’t Bi’s Wife] was eating supper when she saw this scene. She took a sip of soy milk and inhaled it before she swallowed, making her cry for a while.

This heroine is a mudslide of heroines, a wonderful work of the television industry!

“My President Daren” immediately became lively, and the popularity rose sharply. This paragraph was posted on Weibo numerous times, and it was actually hot searched in real time.

The audience’s voice is clear. To sum it up: “Ms. Yao, please, no matter what means are used, make sure we force us to accept 5 million in pain!”

The popularity of “My President Daren” soared on Weibo, and countless people glanced at it with curiosity. It was found that although the title was very spicy, the color matching soundtrack was very good, and the plot was average. Although it was rather cliché, it was very fresh and comfortable to watch so they decided to continue watching. Then they were caught off guard by the surprise in the latest episode and went back to Weibo to discuss it in full swing.

At the same time, this luxurious crew was also heavily discussed. For example, the male lead’s ensemble must be handmade by a foreign brand- the workmanship alone must have taken several months. For example, the male lead rotates luxury cars. In just the fifth episode, the car had been changed several times! The belt was from G’s, and the leather shoes were handmade. And don’t even mention the Vacheron Constantin watches!

There is also the million dollar grand mansion where the male lead’s family lived, not to mention the exquisite decoration in the mansion. It was said that the mural was a masterpiece of a certain master, worth ten million yuan.

“Shit, which local tyrant smashed it out?”7

“It must have been filmed by a rich second generation. I didn’t expect it to be quite good. It was very interesting. The director has a wonderful talent.”

“Don’t you know? It was taken by Bi Dad and Zheng Dad. Both of them are rich. The eldest sister of the gold master father must also be a little rich woman!”

“What a fuck!”

....The popularity and praises of “My President Daren” made Zheng Qi, Bi Lei, and Chen Xin dance happily, walking at home with their heads raised, and a bit of a superior posture. This was, after all, a mudslide idol drama. In a flash, many people’s defense lines were broken, and they were particularly curious about how the next story would go.

Jiang Nian was very happy that her “Five Million” had become popular, and the audience’s click-through rate had finally broken through 100 million, and seemed ready to sprint to 200 million. She was certainly happy but, somehow, the topics were a bit strange.

Did viewers have any misunderstandings about her? Why did she become a little rich woman? Why would they say her crew was rich? Why was her poverty filled crew hailed as a tyrant father???

Did the audience only see “Five Million” without seeing the nature of her poverty?!!

Jiang Nian was anxious.

Coincidentally, Chen Qing and Song Hanhan, as male and female leads, also caught fire, and their popularity has greatly increased. CP fans sprung up, and interviews and other activities came. Jiang Nian immediately communicated with them after learning the news. They must explain clearly and let the audience friends understand that their crew was really not a tyrant at all but was actually very poor. Everything they did had a taste of poverty, and they needed the support of the gold master father in particular!

Jiang Nian: “Whether or not my next ‘Xiaojiao Wife Runs with a Ball and Buys Property all Over the World’ wins the favor of gold master dad depends on you!”

Chen Qing: “..”

Jiang Nian believed her audience friends who knew the truth would certainly shed tears in sympathy.

1. ‘Face’ relates to shame but also your reputation/sense of pride or, even more simply, how you’re viewed by other people. So here, it’s pretty much saying he isn’t important/valued enough for those companies to do him this favor.^

2. Popular verified accounts with a lot of fans.?^

3. Explained this at the start of the arc- people paid to react a certain way on social media.?^

4. Kept the literal translation of ‘poke’ as it gives pretty accurate imagery. It’s supposed to convey that sort of shy/coy flirting mood.?^

5. People’s comments on the video that show up on the screen as the show plays.?^

6. Against the norm, collapsing the usual pattern- like a mudslide collapses the earth. See also ‘sand-sculpture’..?^

7. ‘Tyrant’ = term for someone at the top of their field/whatever environment they’re in. In this case, it means a very wealthy person.
