You’re Supposed To Be The Villain, But You Effortlessly Win Over The Female Leads?

Chapter 56:

The director team couldn’t resist asking, “So, do you really dislike Bai Qingqing?” Bai Qingqing’s ears immediately perked up, and a wave of nervousness washed over her.

She was taken aback by how anxious she felt. Even when someone had publicly confessed their feelings for her, she hadn’t been this nervous! What was going on? Could it be that Jiang Feng actually didn’t like her? The thought left her with an odd sense of disappointment she couldn’t quite explain.

Jiang Feng thought for a moment before answering, “I wouldn’t say that… Although she can be a bit temperamental, she’s still better than Jiang Nan. He’s so fake, it’s like he’s constantly competing in some palace drama. It’s exhausting just watching him.”

“Pfft…” Bai Qingqing, standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, interrupting him. “Honestly, Xiao Feng, you’re spot on with that one!”

“Hey, hey! This is my solo interview! Stay out of it!” Jiang Feng protested.

“Whatever! I was just passing by!” Bai Qingqing pouted and walked off, though the redness at the tips of her ears betrayed her embarrassment.

…

The show was filmed in segments, and although Jiang Feng and the others had only just arrived, there was already enough footage from earlier to edit the first episode. The production team was hard at work on location, both filming and editing at the same time.

They had already pieced together the first episode, and normally, it would be sent off as is. However—

“Director, do you think we should tweak the edit a little? As it stands, Xiao Feng’s portrayal isn’t great. If we keep it this way, people might really dislike him in the first episode,” the editor suggested, unable to hide their concern. “He’s still young, maybe we should make some adjustments, even if it means working overtime?”

“But there isn’t enough time to make all those changes,” someone next to the director sighed. “We still need to add subtitles and finalize everything. That alone will take more than a day or two. The air date for the first episode is already locked in. Are we going to release behind-the-scenes footage or something instead?”

The director hesitated, torn between keeping the schedule and fixing the edit.

“If we release the episode as is, it’s going to air in a week. When Xiao Feng watches it… it might affect his mood. We’re planning to have them watch the episode together, right? What if the viewers’ comments are too harsh? It could be…”

Too cruel.

They had already discussed this plan: the cast would watch the first episode together, and the live comment section would be active for them to see. If Jiang Feng saw all the negative comments, it could be tough for him.

“Maybe we should ask him,” Li Rou suggested. “At the very least, we should talk to him about it first.”

“Alright,” the director agreed. “Let’s call him over and ask.”

…

When Jiang Feng was called by Li Rou, he had been in the middle of cleaning his room.

The stench in the house was unbearable. The smell of pig manure was so strong that it was impossible to be near without feeling nauseous. It was so bad that even if he wanted to sleep in a little longer in the morning, the odor made it impossible.

He had just finished replacing the bedding with the quilt covers and pillowcases he brought from home when Li Rou came to tell him the director team wanted to see him again.

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but complain, “You guys need to find me a decent house. This is ridiculous! If this place gets any worse, I’ll have to ask you all—would any of you be able to live here?”
