Wilderness Livestream: Other People Struggle to Survive While I Became Famous by Looking After a Cat - Chapter 106
Chapter 106: To Be Enlightened
Translator: Zayn_
In addition to Shen Xiyan, the director of a certain plot drama also regretted the ‘resurrection’ of The Immortal Demon the most.
Most people in the industry were superstitious, and so was this director.
If he had known that Song Qingyou was such a lucky star, he would have given her that audition opportunity!
Just as the director was feeling frustrated, his assistant received a call. “Director, Miss Shen said that her schedule is full and she can’t guest star as the supporting actress!”
“What is this? Didn’t she agree to come and make a cameo as long as Song Qingyou’s audition was canceled? What did she mean by that? Is she playing us like monkeys?”
“I heard that she had some disagreements with Song Qingyou. Maybe it’s because you gave Song Qingyou an audition, so she…” The assistant said helplessly.
“What’s the use of knowing the reason now? Are we going to have to invite Song Qingyou back? I don’t know whether she is willing or not, but 1 can’t bear to do it!”
The director was furious. “Shen Xiyan really thinks that she can be lawless just because she has a background? I think she’ll get her retribution sooner or later!”
After saying that, he contacted those who had good relationships in the industry and vented his grievances to them.
On October 10th, the finale of The Immortal Demon was broadcasted.
When the production team’s official Weibo released the announcement, all the fans were stunned.
[ Which TV series doesn’t have 50 to 60 episodes? You guys are done after 20 episodes?]
[ Although the plot rhythm is very comfortable, I still can’t bear to see it end so soon]
[ I hope Xihe doesn’t end up with the male lead!]
[ Director Xu, can you shoot a few more episodes?]
No matter how reluctant the audience was, the final two episodes were still broadcast as usual.
The true face of Fairy Linglong, played by Zhen Wenwen, was exposed, so she used Tianxuan’s concern for Xihe to lure Tianxuan into a trap, which led to Tianxuan’s death.
It was not until then that Xihe realized that she had fallen in love with Tianxuan.
At the critical moment, Taichu finally sealed Fairy Linglong.
He chased Xihe into the abyss. “Xihe, come back with me.”
Xihe looked up at him with an unprecedented coldness in her eyes. “Taichu, Tianxuan died because of you. I want you to use your cultivation to save his life!”
Taichu froze on the spot and said in a hoarse voice, “Xihe…”
Xihe didn’t want to be entangled with this person anymore, so she immediately summoned her long sword.
“If you’re unwilling, I’ll do it myself!”
Taichu did not resist and let Xihe stab the sword into his heart.
“Xihe, I’ve let you down. From the beginning to the end, I’ve only loved you. It’s always been you…”
Xihe sneered. “From the day I cut out my heart, you will were fated to only be my enemy!”
Taichu stared at her. Xihe no longer had any love for him in her eyes. Even her hatred had disappeared.
“Alright, I’ll save him. I’ll grant you your wish!”
Before he finished his words, his hair turned white, and blood flowed out from the corner of Taichu’s mouth.
Tianxuan turned into a ray of light and fell into the mortal world. He would reincarnate and cultivate again.
Xihe left without looking back.
Taichu asked gently, “Xihe, where are you going?”
“Are you going to look for him?”
Xihe did not respond.
Taichu asked again, “You… Will you come back?”
Xihe’s figure gradually disappeared, and her voice resounded through the clouds, “I, Xihe, swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will never see Taichu again for eternity!”
Taichu’s body trembled. “For eternity… Heh.”
He staggered back to the Heavenly Palace, leaving only his back view.
Even after thousands of years, Supreme God Taichu never stepped out of the palace again.
The ending of “The Immortal Demon” had the second male lead as the hero, which was rare in TV dramas. However, the audience was obviously very satisfied.
[ Taichu, this dog male protagonist, will lose his beloved forever. It really suits him.]
[ In the dramas 1 watched in the past, the male and female leads still ended up together in the end. That’s ridiculous! Teacher Qing Meng is really awesome! ]
[ Xu Xingzhou’s acting is so good. I wanted to forgive him at the end!]
[ There’s no follow-up? I really want to see the story of Tianxuan and Xihe in the mortal world. Director Xu, would you consider making a second one?]
[Sob, sob, sob. Although I like Taichu more, and the CP I fantasized was even a bad ending, I can’t say anything bad about this ending]
After the finale was broadcast, the viewership rating of “The Immortal Demon” surpassed “Us” for the first time, reaching 5.1%!
With the advancement of the internet, a television station’s viewership rating of 4% was already considered a hit. If it could break 5%, it could completely prove how successful this drama was!
The television stations that had rejected Xu Mingrui’s offer earlier were now going back on their word. Even if they had to raise the price, they were still willing to buy the broadcasting rights of The Immortal Demon.
Xu Mingrui was extremely happy that his first drama could become popular.
On the second day after the viewership ratings for the finale were released, he invited everyone in the production team to a celebration party out of his own pocket.
Everyone gathered at the five-star hotel. Some of the staff were still discussing how wealthy Xu Mingrui’s family must be since he was so generous.
Song Qingyou overheard the conversation as she drove past.
“Of course Director Xu is rich. Don’t look down on him. I heard that he’s the heir of the Xu Corporation!”
“Is it the Xu Corporation that started out as an electronics company?”
“Yes, haven’t you heard of it?”
Song Qingyou had only just learned of this news.
No wonder Xu Mingrui wanted to learn directing behind his family’s back.
Chen Lan, who was driving in front, clicked her tongue. “Isn’t Director Xu a classic example? If the director doesn’t do well, he’ll have to go back and inherit a billionaire’s fortune?”
Song Qingyou laughed.
“In that case, Director Xu might be the same as you.”
“Like me?” Song Qingyou didn’t understand.
“As petty as you! He’s so rich, yet he only invested 10 million!”
“That’s probably because his family didn’t agree.” Song Qingyou was speechless.
“That’s true.” Chen Lan nodded in agreement. “Wealthy families have many disputes! However, most female stars marry into rich families. Qingyou, you might be one in the future.”
Song Qingyou didn’t reply and continued stroking the cat.
She was not interested in wealthy families.
The two of them parked the car and followed the rest of the crew to the top floor of the hotel.
The top floor was convenient for sightseeing, but it was not open to ordinary guests. Fortunately, the director of the production team was Xu Mingrui. Otherwise, they would not have been able to come here.
The crew had been together for a few months and were already familiar with each other. As soon as the celebration party began, they started chatting in groups of three to five.
A few actors and directors sat together.
As Xu Mingrui looked really young, very few people toasted him.
Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai drank more.
Xu Mingrui was puzzled. “Why are they all toasting Brother Jiang and Muhuai? I don’t get any?”
Everyone else: Silence.jpg
If they were to tell the truth, Xu Mingrui would definitely be worried about them.
Jiang Xuyan coughed and changed the topic.
“Director Xu, didn’t you say that everyone from the production team would be here? What about Teacher Qing Meng? Is Teacher Qing Meng here yet?”
“No.” Xu Mingrui shook his head.” She said she was afraid of being given a blade.”
Song Qingyou had specially created a small account for Qing Meng and added Xu Mingrui.
When Zhen Wenwen heard this, she suddenly took out two boxes of razor blades from her bag.
“Then my gift is for nothing?”
Jiang Xuyan facepalmed. “Wenwen, are you sure Teacher Qing Meng is not scared by you and doesn’t dare to come?”
Zhen Wenwen slammed the table excitedly.
“If you dare to use a knife, you must have the consciousness to retract it! I watched the play again and it made me cry so hard that 1 even wanted to slap myself twice! Why is the character I played so bad?”
Jiang Xu Yan quickly pulled her back. “Don’t be rash.”
It was obvious that Zhen Wenwen had drunk a lot.
