It was Qiao Weiyang’s voice!
Qiao Weiyang’s fans looked at the stage in surprise!
Qiao Weiyang, who was wearing a silver-white evening gown, walked from backstage to the front of the stage.
Half a year had pa.s.sed. To many fans, it was as if half a century had pa.s.sed!
However, many things had not changed. Her temperament, appearance, and everything about her were still the same.
With a smile on her face, she walked toward everyone.
The cheers and screams below the stage were endless!
When the security officers saw Qiao Weiyang appear, they no longer chased her fans away.
Qiao Weiyang’s fans were no longer in the mood to argue with Li Qiru’s fans. They only cared about calling out her name.
Their voices gradually merged into one. “Weiyang! Weiyang! Weiyang!”
Qiao Weiyang walked to the middle of the stage, and all the members of the production team stood up.
Apart from Li Qiru, everyone else’s att.i.tude toward her was self-evident. They got along well with her during the filming. Obviously, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Only Li Qiru slowly clenched her fists. She couldn’t believe it, but she had to accept the scene in front of her.
“Weiyang, sit here.” Liang Kang immediately gave up his chair, completely ignoring the etiquette on the stage.
His actions made the audience laugh kindly.
“In a while,” Qiao Weiyang replied softly. She faced everyone below the stage and said solemnly, “I’m sorry for not appearing for so long. I’m also sorry for not partic.i.p.ating in the publicity work for Twins. Because I had something to deal with, I missed out on the publicity work for such a long time. I’m deeply sorry.
“However, to me, the importance of my work is self-evident. I filmed the show with my heart, so I should also focus on publicity. There are no works of mine that I don’t like or ignore.
“From today onward, I won’t be absent from the publicity for Twins anymore.
I’ll fully cooperate with all aspects of the work.”
There was a round of applause from the audience.
Li Qiru felt upset. She only had the galls to prance around after seeing that Qiao Weiyang was not around.
Who would have thought that she would appear halfway?!
When the emcee saw Qiao Weiyang, he immediately changed the topic to her and asked some questions.
Qiao Weiyang answered them one by one.
As the female lead, Li Qiru was quickly suppressed.
It was no wonder. In terms of popularity, Qiao Weiyang was obviously more popular than her.
In terms of looks, she could be considered a great beauty. In front of Qiao Weiyang, Li Qiru was nothing more than foil.
She wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h all the glory with just the t.i.tle of ‘lead actress’ without any formidable skill set? Obviously, it wouldn’t be so easy.
Soon, the publicity event ended.
It was difficult to quantify popularity effectively.
However, the signs for Qiao Weiyang below the stage were very telling.
When she returned backstage, Li Qiru’s expression was very ugly!
“d.a.m.n it!” Her voice was sharp. “Previously, she didn’t come out for any of the publicity events. Now that the TV show is on the air, she’s here to reap the fruits of victory! I’ve never seen such a shameless person like Qiao Weiyang!”
Her manager comforted her. “No matter what, according to the current editing of Twins, you’re already the female lead. You’ll be the one shouldering the responsibility for the TV show’s popularity. All the credits will be yours. Qiao Weiyang is just the second female lead!”
These words were not very comforting to Li Qiru. In the early stages, Qiao
Weiyang did not appear in any publicity work and did not have many scenes. However, she was still able to gain the upper hand in terms of popularity, which made Li Qiru feel a deep threat.
Now that Qiao Weiyang appeared again, it was obvious how the audience would feel…
She had to think of a way to stop this decline.
After Qiao Weiyang got off the stage, the others briefly exchanged pleasantries with her. Then, she went to remove her makeup.
Only Liang Kang followed her carefully.
“Weiyang, I’m really sorry. Did you see the broadcast of Twins? My brother and the others had no choice but to let Li Qiru become the female lead. We deleted a lot of your scenes, but it wasn’t intentional. I tried my best to help you fight for it…’
“Mr. Kang, I understand.” Qiao Weiyang was very familiar with the script. “I have no intention of holding you accountable. However, I also hope that the production company will let me partic.i.p.ate in the publicity work later. The popularity of a show depends on everyone’s efforts.”
“That’s definitely not a problem! It’s good that you’re back!” Liang Kang agreed.
He wanted to ask Qiao Weiyang how she had been during this period of time. He pondered for a few seconds and did not ask. Tao Huan had already come over to pick Qiao Weiyang up. She asked her to remove her makeup.
Jin Lan also walked over quickly, so Liang Kang could only give up.
When Lu Mingjue saw Jin Lan, his gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he said, “I’m coming over for dinner this weekend.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Jin Lan and Lu Mingjue were ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’, but in reality, their relations.h.i.+p was only in name.
It was equivalent to Lu Mingjue lending her his fame for free.
In the past half a year, although she still had to deal with Li Qiru, no man dared to have any ideas about her.
All Lu Mingjue wanted in return was to go to her place for a meal and have a casual chat with her on the weekends.
Jin Lan was no longer as reserved as before.
She guessed that Lu Mingjue might also need a nominal girlfriend. If they maintained the current situation, both sides would be in harmony.
Tao Huan handed a video to Qiao Weiyang. “Weiyang, take a look.”
Qiao Weiyang glanced at it. “The scene at the event location just now?”
“Yes. Take a closer look.”
Qiao Weiyang took a closer look. Many people in the comments section welcomed her return.
In the video, she was standing on stage, and the screen was filled with comments.
She knew that this was not what Tao Huan wanted her to see. She closed the comments section and looked at the screen seriously.
Then, she realized the problem.
When the camera swept across the audience section, the signs that were written with her name became filled with Li Qiru’s name. It was very dazzling.
However, she remembered the event location just now, it was clearly not like this.
Even if she wasn’t around, she still had a lot of fans and supporters.
When zoomed in, one could see traces of photoshop.
Many fans had shouted her name at the time, but only the words ‘I support you’ and ‘I like you’ were left in the video. Her name had been edited out, and the subt.i.tles read: [The fans from the event location express their warm support and welcome for Li Qiru and Qiao Weiyang.. The fans’ enthusiasm is extremely inspiring…]
