An Qiuyan felt immense pressure, living in constant anxiety that Jiang Ling might return one day, re-sign with Huohua Media, and through high-level connections, reconcile with Shen Mingjue.
Now, hearing that Wang Tian was determined to ruin Jiang Ling and planned to redirect all resources to her, how could she not be excited?
An Qiuyan and Wang Tian colluded, their plans going perfectly.
However, even the wisest can make mistakes.
They had accounted for everything, except for two things.
Firstly, the current Jiang Ling was not the Jiang Ling of before.
The original host had been extravagant and accustomed to a life of luxury, so she naturally couldn't endure hardship.
Jiang Ling, who had transmigrated, was not that kind of person.
Her monthly expenses were not high, and she hadn't touched a penny of the breakup fee Shen Mingjue had given her.
The 188 houses she had obtained through system check-ins generated over a million yuan in rent each month, which was more than enough for her.
Secondly, they were even more unaware that to expedite reshoots and have Jiang Ling play Li Shengnan, Guan Suyiyi had offered her a sky-high salary of fifty million yuan.
After the filming was completed, Guan Suyiyi transferred the fifty million to Jiang Ling's account as agreed.
Jiang Ling, in turn, donated the money to a charity to fund the education of children in mountainous areas and the living expenses of the elderly.
When she could so casually donate fifty million, how could she possibly be greedy for a mere ten million appearance fee?
An Qiuyan's meticulous calculations had all been in vain, making her a fool.
The two eagerly awaited Jiang Ling's participation in the variety show, expecting her to fall into their trap and be utterly ruined.
Unexpectedly, as they waited, instead of news of Jiang Ling's participation, they received the premiere of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
Due to the extensive slander from various online trolls and unscrupulous marketing accounts, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" garnered unprecedented attention, spreading across the entire internet like a virus.
Anyone who could access the internet was almost certainly aware that this drama was about to premiere.
The day before the official broadcast, the crew released a super-long promotional trailer, which Jiang Ling retweeted by mentioning her handle.
This trailer did not focus on the emotional entanglement between Jin Shiyi and Li Shengnan, but rather on the struggle between good and evil, personal grievances, and family feuds.
All the main and supporting actors appeared in the trailer, with various dazzling and intricate fight scenes, and martial arts energy special effects that left viewers mesmerized.
Seeing this, even those who were dissatisfied with Guan Suyiyi's choice of Jiang Ling for Li Shengnan couldn't help but admire her dedication to the filming.
Compared to the current popular "five-mao" special effects and all sorts of gaudy filters, this was incredibly conscientious.
The exciting fight scenes, gorgeous special effects, and actual location shooting created a palpable sense of immersion.
At the same time, netizens who watched the super-long trailer flooded the comments section with their reactions.
[Wow, these special effects and fight choreography are absolutely amazing, truly industry-leading!]
[To be honest, Jiang Ling's appearance in this drama looks like she's wearing no makeup, but she's really beautiful!]
[Remove the 'looks like'; she is wearing no makeup, and I didn't expect her bare face to be so stunning!]
[Regardless of how Jiang Ling acts, for the sake of such conscientious fight scenes and special effects, I will definitely follow this drama to the end!]
[Although I haven't seen her scenes with the male lead in the trailer, judging by her appearance and fighting, she actually looks quite good.]
[Currently, most Wuxia and Xianxia dramas require wire-fu to complete scenes, but many actresses look terrible on wires, like a piece of pork hanging up there. Jiang Ling doesn't have that feeling; she looks particularly ethereal.]
