a.n.a.lyst were even a.n.a.lysing that if the ratings kept increasing, it can even broke 3%, which was a record highest for a drama on a cable network.

Due to the increasing ratings of «The stars above», the ratings of the other two dramas on the public network were also staggering.

Despite their star cast and experienced management, their dramas were unable to do anything and a drama on a cable network was raking in viewers.

Critics and Reporters are telling it a great reversal and in their articles, they had also emphasized the fact that people are getting sick of watching poorly written dramas, even if they have a good cast.

People nowadays need something new and exciting, and «The stars above» have emerged as a hit because of those reasons.

Although the buzz about «The stars above» was currently sky high on internet, the crew of this drama was shooting it's final scenes.

"Ah, I still remembered the day we decided on you as the lead, we were nervous back then but now, when I thought about it, it was the correct decision for the drama."

"Yeah, when you had come to the company to give your audition, we were thinking if you would be able to do the role or not but you were simply amazing."

"Yeah, meeting you in the ending party was the most luckiest thing that had happened to me."

"Thank you for your praise but I think it was because of the cast and the crew that the drama got so famous."

Ren said modestly with a smile on his face. He was currently at the Arc production office talking with CEO w.a.n.g, Zhu Yi and Director Fu.

They were currently discussing the ending scene of the drama. Due to the popularity of the drama currently, SME had decided to expand the drama.

The expansion was of three episodes but the fans of the drama are very happy because of that and the reactions are very heated.

It was also a thing that hadn't happened in his previous life, so Ren was obviously very happy about it.

Although the discussion does not involve Ren much, they had still decided to call him here to know his thoughts.

It can even be said that his status has elevated somewhat due to his rising popularity.

After some light greetings and talk, the discussion finally moved to the main part.

"Since the expansion of three episodes, I want to write an ending arc for it."

Zhu Yi said with a slight smile on her face. She had changed too much since the first time Ren had met her.

Now, she was more confident and she had also started to build up the aura of a writer.

Maybe, it was because of her being the writer of a hit drama but she had started to voice her thoughts more often.

"An ending arc? Aren't we better off by adding some more episodes to the main plot."

CEO w.a.n.g said as he glanced at Director Fu, maybe to know his thoughts about the matter but he was silently glancing at Ren.

"What are your thoughts about this matter?"

Director Fu asked as he stared at Ren curiously. Since the day he had stated the shooting with Ren, he had come to know a lot about him.

He had noticed that Ren had too much intellect for a normal 20 year old. He will sometimes try to do some scenes somewhat differently and Director Fu had noticed that those scenes has come out way better.

That's why he wanted to know his thoughts.

"Well, I think we should go with Writer Zhu's plan."

"Are there any specific reasons for your answer?"

CEO w.a.n.g said with a raised eyebrow. He don't seem to be angry about Ren opposing him as he knew he must have some reason to oppose him.

"Well, first of all I think the main plot is fine and we don't have a reason to expand it. Secondly, I think the ending felt a little bleak in the script."

"A little bleak? Why do you think that?"

"The ending in the script is only for a scene or two in which we will see the changed lives of the characters. I think we can prolong it."

When Ren said that, Zhu Yi also nodded and said.

"Yeah, that is also the reason I wanted to write an ending arc describing the characters life in the changed future. It can also better explain the chemistry between the two leads."

"Yeah, people seem to like the chemistry between Ren and Chen Mei on the screen. It will be great to show it more."

CEO w.a.n.g said as he looked convinced. He can simply imagine the record breaking ratings when the final episode will air.

After that, the discussion about the ending arc continued for two more hours.

In the end, it was decided that they will have a ending arc and everyone was quite happy about it.

"I think the actors and actresses would be quite happy to hear about it."

"Yeah, they have gotten quite a bit popularity after the drama had started airing. I had even heard that most of them had already signed their next projects."

"Well, they had gained a high popularity because of the drama and most of the actors and actresses in our drama are rookies. Their agencies will not miss such a good chance."

"Well, if we are talking about rookies, Isn't Ms. Xiao Rin the most famous of them all."

Ren was stunned for a second when an unexpected name came out of CEO w.a.n.g's mouth.

"Yeah, critics were saying that she was the hidden find of the drama. They were even saying that she could win the best rookie actress award

"

"It would be nice if she did won that. By the way, Isn't Xiao Rin from your agency, Ren?"

Director Fu said as he glanced at Ren and he answered quickly.

"Yeah, she is."

"Your agency should be celebrating that they got such talented young actors."

Ren just smiled instead of replying when he heard that.

Honestly, he didn't want to talk much about Xiao Rin as he had mixed feelings about her currently.

It was because of the words he had from Chief Han that day. He can't seem to get them out of his head for some reason.
