Chapter 996
Nicolas quickly brought out a full set of cupping tools, placed the toolbox on the table and said, “Look, it’s a complete set”
The toolbox not only had cupping tools but also tools for massaging the back and essential oils.
It wasn’t surprising for Nicolas to have these things at home since he sometimes preferred to get treatment at home instead of going to the shop.
Having bragged about knowing how to do cupping, Trisha had to play along and said. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you run a massage shop
Nicolas told her, “Enough chit–chat,” and handed her a lighter. “Come on, show me your skills”
He then lay down on the couch, exposing his entire back
Trisha looked at the lighter, then at the toolbox, recalling the therapists‘ techniques when she tried cupping before, feeling like it wasn’t that difficult.
Just do this first, then that, finally cover it up Shouldn’t require much skill.
Nicolas urged her, “Hurry up, I still want to play games”
Tnsha decided to give it a try. She dipped a large cotton swab in alcohol, lit it, swirled it inside a cup, then quickly attached the cup to the center of Nicolas‘ back.
Seeing no reaction from Nicolas, Trisha felt that cup was pretty firm and suddenly felt like a genius.
Nicolas grabbed the remote, turned on the TV, and leisurely enjoyed Trisha’s service,
The TV was showing the trailer of Peaceful Land. This series is going to be aired on a popular channel next week. For the past half month, hashtags about the series have been all over the internet.
The series hasn’t even aired yet, but the marketing has already made it well–known.
The series once stirred up netizens anger due to plagiarism scandals of the original work. But now, the matter has faded away
Trisha was no stranger to these capitalists tactics. They either paid to suppress the plagiarism heat or created the plagiarism controversy from the get–go to boost the series popularity
Using the plagiarism controversy to draw attention to the series has become a common tactic for many capitalists
As long as they can make money, they don’t care about reputation.
What’s annoying is that due to the heavy promotion of this senes. Celeste’s debut work, Phoenix Fire, hardly got any attention.
Despite the good reputation of his series, director Zach Miller has average connections and isn’t good at hype. He tends to choose actors who aren’t that popular so Phoenix Fire only made the news when it first started shooting due to a controversy to do with the second female lead. The only somewhat hot topic is the rumor that Sydney Denton’s role was replaced by an actress who brought her own capital to the crew.
Even though the official explanation later was that they never invited Sydney to begin with, the news of clarifying the matter wasn’t as hot as the news of the role replacement
Now that this series is airing on the same day as Sydney’s Peaceful Land, it’s inevitable that audiences will compare the two.
Especially when the promotion for “Phoenix Fire” wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire, it was like throwing a party for Sydney’s fans.
So, when Trisha saw the promotion for this show, she was pissed off, “Such a crappy rip–off, and it’s actually going on air? A plagiarized show can be filmed and aired? What the hell is happening“”
Nicolas chuckled, “Aren’t all money–making shows like this? It’s nowhere near ‘Phoenix Fire Why do you even care?”
Trisha retorted. “The problem is they re airing it on the same day. It’s bound to steal viewers from Phoenix Fire. If the ratings are bad, it might affect Letti’s future work. After all, everything is about results now”
With that, she started to rant about Sydney, This Sydney, she surely is impossible to ignore. Then it hit her that Sydney’s former boss was Nicolas, and he was the one who made her a success, which pissed her off even more
Nicolas, clueless about what was going on in her mind, just said. “The jar on the left seems a bit loose, adjust it a bit.”
Trisha, poker–faced, took it down, ready to readjust, when the doorbell rang
She got startled, the lit cotton swab in her hand fell onto Nicolas’s shorts, and flames instantly shot up.
