Chapter 319 - 319 318 Trusting Brother Ning Is Never Wrong

?Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Trusting Brother Ning Is Never Wrong Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Trusting Brother Ning Is Never Wrong Lu Xun watched her with tender eyes.

“Whoever it is, I’m not afraid. We will just repay them double when the time comes.”

Given Luo Ning’s character and ability, she would not let the people behind this off.

Besides, no matter how powerful and capable these hidden adversaries were, he was there for her.

He was Luo Ning’s biggest support.

Luo Ning, who had been deep in thought, narrowed her eyes. “You’re right.”

“We must repay them double.”

Her mother and brother were her greatest vulnerabilities; once touched, they should brace for her retaliation.

Holding her phone, she lifted it and showed Lu Xun a bright, radiant smile. “Mr. Lu, thank you for sharing such important news with me.”

Lu Xun shook his head with a smile. “No need to thank me.”

They chatted a bit more before ending the video call.

Luo Ning then went to her mother’s room, and the two of them talked.

Luo Ning asked her mother about her father’s identity, but her mother had limited information.

She only knew that her father was from Nanhai City and had a falling out with his family, not wanting to return.

Especially when discussing his family, her father would show a complex look of aversion.

Her mother, having had conflicts with her own family and disliking those people, had left home and could understand that reluctance to discuss it.

Thus, she didn’t press further about her father’s background.

However, this made Luo Ning even more certain that Luo Yi from the Luo family was indeed her real father.

The next day, Luo Ning went to her apartment to pack up her belongings and move.

Lu Xun knew she was moving and came over early to pick her up and go to the apartment.

He helped her pack and move, hired a cleaning service, and then terminated the lease.

Having such a considerate person by her side really warmed Luo Ning’s heart.

After moving to the house at the base of the mountain, Luo Ning used the Array Tool her father left behind, along with her own additions, to set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the fields and at the mountain top.

The array could gather the faint spiritual energy to nurture the plants in the mountains and fields through transformation.

After collecting enough auspicious magical tools, she would set up a Feng Shui array in her new home that gathered Spiritual Energy and Vital Energy.

Once they moved in, it would be particularly nourishing for the body and also enhance their luck.

This was the effect of the array, unlike Bo Xiangxiang who absorbed others’ luck, so there would be no karmic retribution.

Two days later, Chenxing Entertainment’s Fantasy Martial Arts Drama premiered.

Her mother and godmother went shopping, and her brother went to school.

Thus, Luo Ning invited Lu Xun over, and they watched the drama together.

Yuan Hanyi, knowing that Director Zhu had also advanced their schedule, released ten episodes on the first day of the premiere, attracting a lot of viewers and traffic.

After watching ten episodes, Luo Ning stretched lazily and gave an objective evaluation. “The plot of this drama is okay, and the acting of the leads is not bad, but it lacks standout features, making a breakout unlikely.”

In her past life, this Fantasy Martial Arts Drama existed too. She hadn’t watched it but knew its ratings were decent, though not phenomenal.

Lu Xun, sitting next to Luo Ning on the couch, raised his hand to massage her shoulders. “So, Yuan Hanyi might just be unintentionally paving the way for you.”

Often, being too clever can backfire; that perfectly described someone self-righteous like Yuan Hanyi.

Luo Ning enjoyed Emperor Lu massaging her shoulders. “Starting tonight, their marketing team will definitely try to discredit our drama to boost their own.”

“By then we might actually have to thank his team for inadvertently advertising and increasing our drama’s popularity and viewership.”

Continually mentioning their drama would highlight their acting and other aspects, sparing Director Zhu the need for further extensive publicity.

She added, “I’m really looking forward to seeing Yuan Hanyi’s face after he overshoots.”

Lu Xun chuckled softly, “You’ll probably get a chance to see it.”

As Luo Ning had anticipated, the Fantasy Martial Arts Drama quickly hit the trending searches, and multiple short video apps were abuzz with its plot.

The drama received high praise, reaching a rating of 9, attracting more and more viewers, and its premiere viewership achieved the best result among currently airing series.

Chenxing Entertainment’s hired online commenters first heavily promoted the highlights of this drama, praising it as an excellent and conscientious production.

Then they brought up the Fantasy Martial Arts Drama that Luo Ning and others filmed and belittled it.

There were also people suspected to be staff members who came forward to make trouble.

They claimed that Director Zhu, in order to ride on the popularity of Chenxing Entertainment’s Fantasy Martial Arts Drama, not only moved up the release date but also badly rushed the post-production, resulting in poor quality.

Next, people began comparing Luo Ning with the female lead of the Chenxing Entertainment drama in various aspects.

Many people were indeed influenced by this narrative.

“This Fantasy Martial Arts Drama’s female lead truly has impressive acting skills, and the plot doesn’t have any flaws to worry about. I’m very concerned about what Brother Ning’s drama of the same genre will be like.”

“Luo Ning is great at variety shows and live streaming, indeed both skilled and charming, but I fear her acting might still fall short, I’m more optimistic about this Fantasy Martial Arts Drama.”

“Yes, it was previously revealed that Luo Ning’s acting in that Fantasy Martial Arts Drama was not even as good as Bo Xiangxiang.”

“A minor third-tier actor outshines a popular actress to become the leading lady, which really makes one wonder about Luo Ning’s acting skills, anyway I’m not holding my expectations.”

“To be honest, although Bo Xiangxiang isn’t very famous, her acting is genuinely good, Luo Ning is just laughable.”

“The Black continues to criticize acting skills, our Brother Ning doesn’t care, blacken us all you want.”

“In three days, the premiere of Brother Ning’s show will reveal the results, I definitely have mysterious confidence in her.”

“Director Zhu previously released the audition tape; if Brother Ning’s acting isn’t good, then I don’t know what is.”

“That was just an audition tape, not the actual film, who knows if Director Zhu gave any special guidance then to get that effect.”

“Exactly, I just don’t believe her acting is that good, otherwise why wouldn’t she be the leading lady?”

“Stealing away with my Brother Ning, you guys continue.”

Black and hired commenters: “…” Don’t go, aren’t you going to stay and argue?

These were the most indifferent fans they had ever seen; they couldn’t even start a quarrel, how exasperating.

After a sequence of being blackened and then counterattacking, Luo Ning’s fans became even more indifferent and stoic in facing Blacks and hired commenters.

Regardless, Ning Fans had mysterious confidence in Luo Ning, never mind whether others believe or not, they simply believe Brother Ning will do his best.

Especially under the constant influence of the major fans, Ning Fans just calmly watched as the Black and hired commenters made futile efforts.

Without any support, they just watched how these guys would perform the solo acts.

Indeed, without Ning Fans coming down to argue and retort, the narrative of the Black and hired commenters ultimately failed to catch hold as expected.

However, it once again brought the questioning of Luo Ning’s acting skills into the spotlight, attracting more people’s attention.

Is Luo Ning’s acting good or not?

Don’t know.

That’s okay, let’s just wait for the premiere of her Fantasy Martial Arts Drama, it’s only a couple of days away.

Originally, Director Zhu wanted to hire his own commenters to strike back after heavy promotion, but Luo Ning persuaded him to save the money.

With the Chenxing Entertainment team making trouble, why worry about exposure and popularity?

At first, Director Zhu was skeptical, but now seeing Chenxing Entertainment’s Fantasy Martial Arts Drama mentioned everywhere and how they were dragging their own drama, he couldn’t help but smile.

Although currently being degraded ruthlessly, the exposure and popularity were indeed getting higher and higher.

Even someone disliked for causing big trouble initiated a poll on weibo, to see which Fantasy Martial Arts Drama would end up with the highest rating and viewership.

They even set up a competition poll for the main actors of both dramas, with more and more people and fans participating.

No wonder people online always said believing in Brother Ning can’t be wrong; he now feels it’s too reasonable.

Fortunately, he believed in Brother Ning, otherwise he would have wasted so much on advertising.

Now having people help advertise for free is great, saving both money and effort, wonderful!

In the future, he must also believe in Brother Ning, even more belatedly, he went on to repost the two weibo posts Luo Ning had made earlier about academics and luck transfer.

Ning Fans, upon discovering this, all teased Director Zhu about his high internet latency, only now going to repost.

The atmosphere remained very cheerful, Ning Fans not at all affected by Black or hired commenters, even misleading quite a few bystanders.

This infuriated the Black and hired commenters to no end.

They hate encountering these indifferent and mysteriously confident fans the most, feeling like punching cotton—so frustrating.
