Reborn As The Villain President's LoverChapter 79

TN:

Yup, you’re not dreaming, this is really an update 🌚, HAPPY NEW YEAR 💐🎊🎉🎊🎉. Jtr7 u

So I’ve been working on retranslating RATVPL, but I kept forgetting to update, until I was reminded. So I’ll just keep retranslating while updating 🎉🎊💐❣️


Yang Fan didn’t expect such a condition, he froze for a while then asked, “Who is Ji Qingzhou?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It wasn’t suprising that he didn’t know him, Ji Qingzhou just became popular, although his popularity on the Internet had spread, he wasn’t well known offline, Yang Fan was a serious producer who was always busy and never on Weibo, he hardly noticed it was New Year, not to mention news about a newcomer.

Chu Cheng sent a few photos of Ji Qingzhou to him and said, “If you’re not certain, you can hold an audition first. He has worked with Lian Jingxing before, and there was no problem with his acting. ” dD5aSp

Yang Fan smiled and looked at the photo of Ji Qingzhou, he felt he looked a bit familiar and replied, “Let me think about it.”

“Yes. By the way, you don’t have to worry about the investment, if this drama is to be shot, I will invest, but my requirements are very strict, I don’t need this drama to make more money, but it must be shot well.”

“Don’t worry Mr Chu, I just want to shoot this story properly, but I’m just curious about the relationship between this Ji Qingzhou and you, you want him to be the lead actor, and you’re also willing to invest.”

“It has nothing to do with Ji Qingzhou.” Chu Cheng said, “As long as the shooting is done properly, then I will definitely invest, because the investors have absolute say. However,” he said in a low voice, “if the main character is not Ji Qingzhou, I won’t sell the rights at all. Think about it and give me an answer as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Yang Fan didn’t let Chu Cheng wait long, he was a very efficient person, after hanging up the phone with Chu Cheng, he sent people to research about Ji Qingzhou, after knowing that Ji Qingzhou had appeared in << A Page Of Love Poem>>, <<Broken Light>> and auditioned for the just announced male lead of the <<Divine Order Of Heaven>>, Yang Fan quickly contacted the director.

He and Director Li were in the same industry, they more or less knew each other, so he politely asked about Ji Qingzhou’s audition.

The director appreciated Ji Qingzhou and was sorry that he didn’t get to star in the drama, so he couldn’t help but praise him a bit more, which surprised Yang Fan. At the end, Director Li couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you asking me about him?” Q6BR0r

Yang Fan didn’t try to make excuses, “I’m about to film a drama, someone recommended Ji Qingzhou, I’ve never seen him and I heard that he auditioned in a drama you’re in charge of, so I called to ask you.”

“That’s really cheap,” Director Li replied, “I originally wanted to use him as the male lead, but the investor refused to agree, so I had no choice but to change the person, otherwise I still prefer Ji Qingzhou. If you’re not sure, you can let him audition first.”

Yang Fan knew he had no qualifications to audition him, Chu Cheng’s words were very clear, if he bought <<Partridge Sky>>, he had to use Ji Qingzhou, if he didn’t use Ji Qingzhou, Chu Cheng would not sell the rights of <<Partridge Sky>>.

He didn’t even have the copyright, what audition could he do? dmuQCW

After talking, Ji Qingzhou felt it was somewhat unrealistic.

“So, you’re actually a writer.” 3JN5s0

“Sort of.”

“What do you mean by that,” Ji Qingzhou replied powerlessly, “I went to New Culture’s website to subscribe to the <<Divine Order Of Heaven>> when I saw the total list ranking, <<Partridge Sky>> is above <<Divine Order Of Heaven>> by a dozen, the <<Divine Order Of Heaven>> is a big IP, the author is extremely well known, so shouldn’t you be more well-known than him?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“That’s right, but it’s not my main business, so I’m modest.”

Ji Qingzhou knew Chu Cheng wasn’t modest, that would be too unreal. dLXYTK

“So, you are now rushing straight forward because of me,” Ji Qingzhou asked.

Chu Cheng laughed a little, he looked at the embarrassed face in front of him and replied, “You really have the nerve to say that.”

“Isn’t it true?”

“Yes, yes, yes, but not just for you.” XzV29t

Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed. “In fact, you don’t have to do this. this kind of thing is very common. This opportunity is gone. There will be new resources to make up for it. If you always invest and spend money, it’ll be a loss.”

“Why is it a loss?” Chu Cheng asked. “This book itself is very popular, with its own audience. Your acting skills are good, Yang Fan’s team is also good, and I am supervising it. Why would it be a loss?”

Ji Qingzhou looked at him, Chu Cheng smiled and continued, “The reason why film and television adaptations have become prevalent in recent years, is because it is a multi-win model. A book, adapted into a drama, the fans will spontaneously become the audience and talk about it, driving the popularity of the drama up, and the popularity of the drama will feed the original book, driving the sales of the publication and online subscriptions, while increasing the revenue of the author and the website traffic. This is a good result for everyone, which is why film and television adaptations are so popular.”

“I haven’t sold my rights for so many years, not because I think they are well known enough, but because I don’t have a favourite actor, and I don’t want a male lead with a face I don’t like, so that’s why it’s been on hold. I’m investing in this drama, not because of you, but because it’s my work, and I don’t want it to end up with a production I don’t recognise, so I need the right to speak, so even if it’s not you, I’ll invest, and on that point, you don’t have to have a mental burden.” QhLV9K

“So you are willing to let your male lead have my face ah”

Chu Cheng squeezed his face, “You said that if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to sell my copyright. However,” he looked at Ji Qingzhou, “I’m quite curious about you acting my work. What it’ll look like is a bit strange to think about.”

Ji Qingzhou thought it was fantastic, he preferred to act as Chu Cheng’s male lead rather than in <<Divine Order Of Heaven.>>”

“I will act well.” Ji Qingzhou assured. qzL3K8

“You must act well, for so many years, you are the first person to act out my work, no one else has done it before,” he thought and continued, “and there will probably be no one after.”

Ji Qingzhou felt it was sweet, he looked at him and kissed him gently.

A few days later, the <<Partridge Sky>> crew officially announced on Weibo that the TV series <<Partridge Sky>> would start in the near future, and it had been decided that Ji Qingzhou would be the male lead. The staff responsible for the publicity and development of the team also contacted the major marketing firms, on the day of the official announcement, the marketing firms directly circulated the news.

Once this news came out, the forum directly exploded. aCAjWI

[Fuck, it turned out to be Ji Qingzhou]

[They actually sold the copyright of the novel I read in high school. At that time, our whole class was reading it.]

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

[CrazyI thought <<Divine Order Of Heaven>> was the biggest adaptation this year, but I didn’t expect it to be this.]

[What’s the history of Ji Qingzhou? He could even get this kind of resource, and people said he was envious of Luo Yuxin.] shmzLW

 

[Weakly asking, which IP is greater ah?]

The fans of Ji Qingzhou were simply stunned. What was this? How could they ask questions after such heavy news? After a while, they sat up and began forwarding the news.

[Of course it’s <<Partridge Sky>>, when it came out that year, our class boys crazily read it.] J zdTE

 

[Partridge sky, the person who wrote it is a New Culture writer, the book exploded after it was posted, and later it was estimated that the book earned enough, so it was completed.]

 

“On the New Culture’s total list ranking, <Partridge Sky> is a dozen times higher than <Divine Order Of Heaven>, it should be <Partridge Sky>.” rbZiEC

“At last year’s New Culture Opening Highlights focus, <Partridge Sky> was placed in the first position, it’s status is clear ah.”

“So, Lou Yuxin’s fans mocked Ji Qingzhou so hard for two days, the results is that it wasn’t even <Divine Order Of Heaven> ah.”

[ Why don’t they laugh at the fact that Ji Qingzhou’s drama is bigger than Luo Yuxin’s. The news came out after they had finished mocking him, giving us a chance to laugh.”]

“Hahahahaha, to put it unkindly, Ji Qingzhou has <Partridge Sky>, which is far bigger than <Divine Order Of Heaven> ah.” qk74dz

“I admire Ji Qingzhou, If only our idol, Gang Hong, could have this kind of resource.”

Luo Yuxin’s fans laughed for just a few days, after see the news, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and broke their keyboards in anger, “What use is a big IP, the key to adapting a book to a drama is the production team. If the production team isn’t strong, it won’t mean anything.”

“But the production team of this drama is Yang Fan’s team, ah, the team is good, Yang Fan’s productions have a good reputation?”

“Yes, his drama last year also won an award, Yang Fan is also considered a conscientious producer.” iL0Mkl

“This drama simply cannot flop, even if it doesn’t become extremely popular, the geeks won’t let it him flop unless the shooting is particularly poor, they’ll watch first then scold after.”

“Flop in your dreams, pray that your Idol’s drama doesn’t flop, <Partridge Sky> doesn’t need you to worry about it.” A fan of Ji Qingzhou retorted.

“It hasn’t been shot, yet the tail of Ji Qingzhou has reached the sky, it’s as if you guys haven’t seen the world.” A Luo Yuxin fan said angrily.

The Ji Qingzhou fan lightly replied, “Yes, we’ve not seen the world, but you guys also acted the same way after the announcement of the male lead of <Divine Order Of Heaven>, right?” gELWzA

“No way, they thought that <Divine Order Of Heaven> would be the biggest IP this year, <Patridge Sky> came out of nowhere, how could they not be angry?”

“The most important thing is that <Partridge Sky> is not only a big IP, the production team is also extremely good ah, hahahaha, I’m happy, today’s forum lottery, as long you’re not Luo Yuxin’s fans and not an anti-fan, I’ll sponsor it.”

Luo Yuxin’s fans looked at Ji Qingzhou’s fans’ remarks, and angrily turned to tear at Luo Yuxin’s agency and agent, and asked them what was going on, why didn’t they fight for better resources? Were they dead? Why couldn’t they do anything?

  1. Yayyy satisfying! I’m excited to see what shooting the drama is like, and I’m glad the more reasonable side of Chu Cheng’s decision was covered so well. And of course, how nice for Ji Qingzhou’s fans to finally be able to retort. Luo Yuxin’s fans are a bit much, though, attacking his company for getting him perfectly good resources, I wonder if the poor director will be mad

    As for the style shift, keeping the commas the same as the original text can be a little hard to follow in English, but I do like knowing how the author imagined the clauses stacking together… This is probably not a very helpful comment for you haha, sorry

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  2. Thank you for the chapter~

    I think it is more simple words now? I don’t know but it feels so. Is it good? I don’t know but I’m fine with it

  3. I was like —-

    Wtf Wtf Wtf!!!!!

    Its updated!!!

    Omg Omg Omg!!!!

    Can’t wait for the face slap ——-

    And damm, that was refreshing😁😁😁😁

    Thx for the chappy

    (≡^∇^≡)

  4. Thank you for the update. I can’t believe when i see the notification that there is an update… 🤗

  5. lol but by the way luo yuxin’s fans have been acting, i thought divine order of heaven was at least in the top 5 biggest IP 💆‍♂️

  6. Thank you for the chapter!!!!!!

    Mmmmh! I love the smell of steamy hot faces after a good face slapping

  7. Thanks for your hard work! It’s been a while so I’ll have to go back to reread to make any comparisons. I don’t have any complaints about this new style though.

  8. Yesss, the beginning of face slapping I’ve been waiting for!

    Finally update! Thank you for the chapter!!

    Please, don’t forget us here waiting for the update •́ ‿ ,•̀

  9. finally an update….. ( ⊙ ﹏ ⊙ )

    tysm…

  10. I was so surprised by the new update that I accidentally deleted all the notifications 😂

    Thank you very much for comeback.

  11. A it updated. Aaah, I’m so happy! I don’t mind the translation just happy is all that it still continues.

  12. Ji Qingzhou is gonna fly high!! He must give many many kisses to Chu Cheng for the trouble hehehe.

    Thanks for the chapter! And Happy New Year!

  13. I’m really curious about Fang Yaoxuan’s reaction when he hears about the ins and outs of this. If Chu Cheng can find out about his family investments, he should be able to pry out who is paying for Partridge Sky .

    Though, honestly, ML is a best selling author now? Did I miss or forget any foreshadowing? Did he ever retreat somewhere to write something? He’s so awkward with emotion, isn’t it hard to write convincing characters?

    I’m really curious about the plot of this book of his. It’s pretty obviously cultivation stuff for Luo Yuxin, is Partridge Sky in the same genre? I want our protagonist to be a sword swinging gentleman, too. (Though white is not his color, it implies white lotus and feels a little fake…)

    I’m really happy the translation picked up again, this story always puts me in a good mood!

  14. sigh I finally reached the latest chapter.

    I (Perkele Dudette) told you a hundred of times already that you are not a patient person, so you shouldn’t read this because it’s still ongoing! sigh

    Anyway, thank you for the chapter!

  15. Translator-sama asked this a long time ago, but I just wanted to say, the quality of the translation is quite good XD. Thanks!
