Chapter 1045
"I just want a wedding ceremony." Hylda glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "You better keep your guard up. Stop
going shopping and having high tea with those rich girls all the time."
Sophia still could not process what happened. She only nodded after hearing what Hylda told her. "I got it, mom."
Albert left not long after he hung up. Xenia quickly told Stella about the information she had gathered earlier.
Stella frowned and fell into her thoughts.
She was still trying to figure out what Hylda's plan was when she received a text message from the production
team of The Palace, telling her that World Peace's premiere had been rescheduled. The two dramas were supposed
to be aired a day apart. However, both premieres fell on the same date at the exact same time, which was the
prime-time slot of 8 PM.
The production team of World Peace had cut off the ending of another drama just to secure the slot and premiere
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWorld Peace on the same day as The Palace.
It was a despicable move as the ratings of the premiere were very crucial to the production. It could directly affect
future investments, online exposure, and public attention.
The original premiere dates of these two shows were already very close to each other, yet World Peace decided to
reschedule it to the exact same day. It was very obvious that they were simply trying to overshadow The Palace.
World Peace was adapted from a controversial comic, and it had gained a lot of traction before it was even aired.
The production team was known for not prioritizing quality in their work. They only wanted to take advantage of the
hype and create a money tree.
Even though The Palace had been very low-key in its marketing campaign, Daniel's reputation was just too good.
Everyone knew that every drama he directed would be worth watching.
If The Palace were to be aired first, audiences who watched it would not be able to stand a money-grabbing drama
like World Peace. So, they had to be aired on the same day to overshadow The Palace and secure a share of the
viewership.
By doing so, even if some people realized that The Palace was a better drama than World Peace, it would not
matter anymore because the show had already ended and made enough money forthem. Nobody would care
anymore after that.
Then, The Palace would become a drama with good reviews but no viewership.
That was the dark side of the film and television industry.
A coworker shared the news of World Peace rescheduling its premiere in the group chat.
And everyone was shocked.
After a few months of hard work, they were met with a cut-throat competition like this to ruin their drama. So, all of
them were upset.
Daniel sent a publicity template in the group chat and tagged Stella. [ StellaJewell, why haven't you uploaded any of
our promotional posts yet?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella froze.
[I forgot to.]
Daniel urged her. [Hurry up and post it now. You're the only person who hasn't done it.]
Stella edited the template and uploaded it on Facebook.
Then, she thought for a while and decided to call Daniel.
As soon as the call was connected, the sound of people chattering and playing drinking games came from the other
side of the phone.
Stella softly said, 'Mr. Wood, are you drowning your sorrows before the war has even started?"
The edge of Daniel's mouth twitched. "Shut up, you jinx! I'm at my friends' baby shower party."
"Oh.” Stella then added, "I'm impressed. How could you still have the mood to attend a party when the premiere is
on tomorrow night?"
Daniel replied nonchalantly, "Have you gone to school and taken an exam? Have you ever seen a top student
studying the day before the exam?"
Stella paused. Then, she said slowly, "Well, a low-performing student wouldn't study a day before the exam either
because he wouldn't understand a thing anyway."
Her response left Daniel speechless
