A Cut That Makes the Heart Skip [Entertainment Industry]

[Big-name film and TV video editor x actress who gets more famous the more people hate her]

Jiang Yue had been in show business for only three years, yet she had already become one of the most notorious actresses around.

From her looks, acting, and figure to the way she conducted herself, people found something to criticize about everything.

As soon as Jiang Yue's new drama aired, a swarm of film and TV video creators started cashing in, posting countless videos that mocked everything from her styling and makeup to her acting and line delivery.

Gu Ran was one of the biggest creators in the film and TV category. Every rant video he posted drew huge views. His videos could even brainwash viewers into believing that a certain celebrity or drama was exactly as he had described it.

When Jiang Yue's new drama came out, Gu Ran did what he always did: found something to criticize and went after it relentlessly. He edited the video with seamless precision, every cut a direct hit. Its view count shot up in no time.

Then Gu Ran received a lawyer's letter from Jiang Yue's studio.

Gu Ran never expected that the actress he'd criticized while feeling sorry for her would one day sit across from him, looking at him tenderly.

Jiang Yue: Do you really think my looks, acting, and line delivery are all bad?

Gu Ran swallowed. There's still room for improvement.

Jiang Yue smiled. All right. Tell me what to change, and I'll do as you say.

After that, Jiang Yue made a determined shift from a traffic-driven celebrity to a serious actress, winning countless international awards and earning praise from veteran actors for her outstanding performances.

Yet one hater still tried to stir things up. "I think Jiang Yue's acting is... just okay..."

Before they could finish, the big-name creator with millions of followers and his fans all piled on: "How can acting that wins so many awards be just okay?"

The hater was baffled. Hadn't this creator always trashed Jiang Yue? When had he become a true fan?

Gu Ran looked at the actress sleeping in his arms and smiled. Of course he was going to spoil his own wife!
