Chapter 402: Birds of a Feather Flock Together, People Are Known by the Company They Keep
Xia Weibao had a serious expression on her face, "How could this happen? Could someone be sabotaging us behind the scenes?"
Leng Yan was brimming with frustration, "Do we even need to ask? Someone definitely tripped us!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he tugged at his tie.
His heart was filled with agitation.
The company, the cars, the houses, all his savings were poured into it, and even the goddess was almost gone.
He had thought that once the filming was complete, they would see the light at the end of the tunnel, but he hadn’t expected the most lethal blow to come now!
Xia Weibao was about to say that it must be because of her.
Ever since three years ago, there had been someone behind her, seeking to doom her. This time, it must have been that person again, not allowing her to turn the tables.
But before she could speak, Leng Yan heaved a heavy sigh.
"It must be because of me, that person will definitely not give me a chance to turn things around.
"This drama is my investment, he definitely wants me to lose everything!"
Xu Jiayang’s face was grave, filled with the vicissitudes of life, "No, it should be me. He had finally pushed me down, how could he allow me to make a comeback.
"This drama is my creation, that person knows my capabilities; if ’Allure’ were to be aired, I could definitely make a grand comeback.
"How could he give me such an opportunity, sigh.
"I should have seen it coming."
Xia Shi felt somewhat guilty, "It could also be because of me, after all, I am Xia Weibao’s manager. If she becomes famous, I also benefit from it, and those people definitely don’t want me to ever have the chance to rise again!"
Xia Weibao, "..."
Dumbfounded.
It turned out that everyone present was a top contender in the industry of attracting enmity; each person had a sworn enemy.
Impressive, indeed.
Dammit, everyone seems to be a target for someone else’s vendetta; with so many enemies combined, each could contribute a finger to crush ’Allure’ to death.
What hope was left?
"You guys... why do you have so many enemies?"
Xia Weibao pointed at them all, well-hidden indeed.
Leng Yan grabbed a pen holder and threw it at her, "You have no enemies? The one who incites the most enmity is you; you even have the nerve to ask!
"You tell me, since ’Allure’ started shooting, how many times have you been tripped up, huh?!
"At least we know who our enemies are, you don’t even know if it’s a person or a ghost that’s messing with you, yet you have the cheek to blabber nonsense!"
Xia Weibao, "..."
I was just asking a question; is there a need to get so agitated?
Suddenly, she thought of a saying, "Birds of a feather flock together, people are grouped by likeness."
There was a reason they had all gathered together.
"Boss, calm down, look at you, you’re so angry you’re getting white hairs."
Leng Yan’s face changed, "Really? Where? Are there a lot?"
Then he took out a mirror and quickly started looking for white hairs.
He hadn’t yet married the goddess and reached the pinnacle of life; he couldn’t afford to age prematurely.
Xu Jiayang ignored him, discussing countermeasures with Xia Shi.
"Sigh." Xu Jiayang was as worried as an old man, "We’re also unlucky to have encountered the release of ’Deep Palace’."
Xia Shi shrugged her shoulders, looking somewhat weary.
Indeed, unlucky.
’Deep Palace’ was a blockbuster with a budget of three hundred million, backed by the Queen of Ratings Chu Ying starring solo.
There has been all sorts of promotions even before filming began, and various behind-the-scenes footage kept emerging during production.
The popularity was extremely high.
One could say ’Deep Palace’ was the most anticipated grand historical drama of the year.
And with the currently popular palace-fighting genre, it completely overshadowed other dramas.
Not only was it premiering on the highest-rated satellite TV channel, but it was also being simultaneously streamed on the three websites with the most traffic!
With such momentum, who could compete!
