The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 630 - 359_2

But reality was cruel, and she was no genius director; the film’s release indeed did not go well.

She wanted to convey too much, and it ended up making the film seem cluttered. Netizens harshly criticized her for not distinguishing primary from secondary elements and for the inconsistent style, saying it was like trying to stitch together rags from different eras. The beginning was stifling, and the ending was deliberately melodramatic, which came off as pretentious.

Even with an Emperor of Film like Shen Jinghe, top-tier actresses like Jiang Wanwan, and popular idols like Wang Che, including her own dedicated performance, they couldn’t save "The Silent Secret."

Though their fans passionately bought tickets, and Su Yang along with Shen Jingxiu also pitched in, the initial hype eventually faded, and the box office numbers did not improve.

Although there were some positive reviews, after the film Wenyan received more criticism and attacks than anything else. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

But she had never cared about negative reviews before, let alone now.

She posted directly on her social media: The movie being bad is okay, I will continue to work hard next time. I’m immediately preparing for a brand new variety show, see you on TV!

This post really stirred things up.

The ones who hadn’t trashed the movie enough came at her again.

’Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a thick skin you have, please just go home and pick at your feet, the entertainment circle has been so quiet during the year you weren’t active, don’t cause any more trouble.’

’Please spare variety shows, with that money, it would be better to study for a few more years.’

’Haha, did you forget how she made the trending search for studying at school? After her studies, she produces a trash movie like this.’

’Really have no idea what kind of variety show she is going to make now, having money must be nice, do whatever you want.’

’I don’t care what she does, I am definitely not supporting, absolutely boycotting.’

’Exactly, the movie had so many big stars and still turned out like this, how good can her variety show be? I’m not optimistic.’

’Exactly, I hope other stars in the circle will not go on her program, lest they get dragged down with her.’

Comments like these racked up hundreds and thousands in minutes.

Wenyan herself couldn’t help but reflect, returning to the circle after fading for two years, and still, she was at the top.

It was just tough on her fans.

’Why do they say the movie was bad? When I was in the theater, I couldn’t help but cry.’

’What kind of movie do people want to watch these days? Isn’t it good to make everything clear? This movie spans two generations.’

’Some say the adaptation was bad. Please, the main character was originally a narcotics cop, and it’s still the same over three generations. If it were any more realistic, wouldn’t the enemies seek revenge by following the plot of the movie? It wouldn’t pass censorship either.’

’...’ Everyone argued, Wenyan’s comment section was as boisterous and messy as it had been in its bloodiest days.

But who cares.

For the past two years, Wenyan rarely posted online.

Whenever she did, she always had benefits for her loyal fans.

This time was no exception.

This time, the giveaway was a mystery merchandise bundle from the new variety show.

Because there had been no news about the new show, fans had no idea what the merchandise was.

But everyone knew Wenyan was always generous with giveaways; it was never going to be some cheap trinket.

Some became die-hard fans precisely by cursing Wenyan, but, with the mystery gift pack in hand, they would rejoice secretly.

All of this was managed by a team; Wenyan didn’t have to worry about it.

After returning home, she went through her usual routine of changing shoes and washing her hands.

But strangely, there was no one else at home today.

That was abnormal. Wenyan couldn’t help but turn to Qin Yulong beside her: "Maybe we came back too early, but that seems unlikely."

"Perhaps they have their own matters." Qin Yulong was tired from the day’s work, "I’m going to change out of these tight clothes first."

"Sure, go ahead."

Wenyan didn’t plan on changing her clothes and headed straight to the kitchen.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhang was there; otherwise, Wenyan might start to wonder whether she and Qin Yulong had accidentally stumbled into a parallel universe.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you the only one here? I didn’t see anyone else in the house."

"Oh, Wenyan, you’re back. The mistress decided to have a barbecue tonight and took a car earlier to personally select ingredients. Jingxiu should be at home, probably in the backyard."

"Alright, I’ll go take a look."

Although she had kept her distance from Shen Jingxiu intentionally during this period, the thought of separating soon filled her with a sense of regret.

She thought it would be good to have a proper talk with Shen Jingxiu today, to preemptively address any sense of regret.

But she would need to be cautious, to avoid giving him the wrong impression and making him fall deeper.
