After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 38

Laura had watched the short drama adapted from her novel and honestly, she thought it was kind of rough. If it hadn’t been her own story, she probably wouldn’t have even made it through the first episode. Compared to real TV shows, it just didn’t measure up.

She looked skeptical. “Can those cheap, low-budget little series really make it big? The production value is so bad, it’s almost embarrassing. None of the actors are even professionals. Their acting is painful to watch.”

“It’s nothing like online novels,” Laura went on. “In our field, if a web novel goes viral and gets some traction, that’s where the real money is. You’d be better off starting a website, hiring a few editors, and signing up some writers. Then you could work with other sites. That actually has a future.”

Isabella shook her head. “Novels are already on the decline. Over the next few years, short dramas are where the money is. The trick is to get in early and catch the wave. Anyone who joins late will probably end up losing money.”

She knew from experience. In her last life, short dramas exploded over the next two years. After that, the market was so crowded it was almost impossible to make a profit. Meanwhile, the novel industry kept going downhill. There wasn’t even one breakout hit a year anymore. So many new and old authors kept launching books, only to see them flop.

Laura compared the situation to a few years ago and had to admit things were pretty bleak for writers.

“So, if you want to invest in making short dramas, how would you even start?” she asked. “You’d need a team. You’d need a director, screenwriters for scripts, and actors too.”
