The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 710: You got it wrong!

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, check your phone! Last night’s ratings for ’Corridor Pavilion’ are out, and they actually hit 4, oh my god!"

"What, what? The ratings broke 4? It’s only been two episodes, how can it be this fierce?!"

"It’s record-breaking, isn’t it? It’s been so many years since a TV drama broke 4 on the first day, it’s simply divine."

"No wonder, with a good director and actors, and the scenes are also exceptionally comfortable to watch, it would be against natural justice if it didn’t become a hit!"

In the WeChat group created for the ’Corridor Pavilion’ cast and crew, Director Li shared the good news with everyone at the earliest possible time, and Tang Shu, who was in class at Medical University, naturally saw the message as well.

Broke 4?

Given these ratings, they’ll surely rise in the future, definitely becoming this year’s blockbuster.

"Xiao Shushu, which episode do you appear in?"

Inside the teaching building, quite a few students were also discussing the topic of ’Corridor Pavilion,’ and Tang Shu’s two companions were no exception.

"Tomorrow, I guess, I remember it’s the sixth episode where I appear."

"Great! We’ll definitely be there to support you!"

"Even if I wasn’t appearing, you’d support me, right? Who was the one discussing last night’s episode first thing this morning?"

"Hehehe, I’m just happy, okay? It’s been a long time since I’ve come across such a great drama."

Cheng Ranran laughed sheepishly, putting her hands together as if begging for mercy, "But of course, it’s going to be even better when you appear. I’ll go online to cheer you on with ’The Scream’!"

"..."

Tang Shu remembered her friend’s historical feat of battling a hundred people alone and instantly shuddered.

She could actually do it!

"You... rest up, how was your summer vacation?"

"Not bad, I traveled around the country a bit. I was supposed to go with Xiaohui, but she was too busy, not a moment of free time."

Hearing this, Tang Shu looked over at Ye Xiaohui, only to see that she had seemingly checked out of the chat and was now staring into space.

"Hey, what are you pondering over?"

"The competition––"

"The national calligraphy and painting contest?"

"Yeah, the finals are in just over half a month, and I still haven’t figured out what piece to submit."

The months-long national calligraphy and painting contest was approaching the semifinals, and this time, due to the tricky topics, the participants had been given a relatively long period to prepare, with the topic announcement posted a few days earlier.

Ye Xiaohui had been pondering for five or six days and was still totally clueless about how to start her work.

"What’s the topic this time?"

"You don’t know?!"

Ye Xiaohui gave Tang Shu a shocked and reproachful look, as if she had committed an unforgivable error.

Well... that was indeed the case.

Tang Shu felt a bit guilty. Had she been playing too hard lately that she’d forgotten about this major event?

The silent tension between the two was so visible that Cheng Ranran squinted her eyes, looking back and forth between them.

"What kind of riddle are you two playing? Is it that surprising that Xiao Shu doesn’t know about your calligraphy and painting circle matters? And another thing... why do I sense that Xiao Shu seems a bit guilty?"

Both: "..."

It’s always when one should be perceptive that they’re not.

"Not at all!"

"You’re seeing things!"

Cheng Ranran: "???"

Ye Xiaohui quickly pulled out a box of pastries and pushed them over, "Haven’t had breakfast yet? Eat something to fill up first!"

Cheng Ranran looked shocked, "Aren’t you always complaining that I’m fat?"

"..."

Tang Shu coughed, brushing aside the hair by her ear, "Look, I’m wearing those earrings. Do they look good?"

Cheng Ranran immediately shifted her attention, "They look great, great. I knew Xiao Shu you would like my gift the most!"

Ye Xiaohui, who gave the jade bracelet: "..."
