You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 26: The twenty-sixth day of the hit

◎Intuition told Mu Taozhi that Yao Bianliang might have said something that shouldn’t have been said to Dafan, so that everyone◎

My intuition told Mu Taozhi that Yao Bianliang might have said something that shouldn't have been said to the fan, so that no one raised funds to make the list.

Mu Taozhi: "Think carefully, have you expressed something you shouldn't have expressed. For example, implying that they don't need to raise too much money..."

Yao Bianliang looked at him strangely: "Of course I said that."

Mu Tao's expression froze.

Only Yao Bianliang continued: "I have explained everything clearly, asked them to cancel all fundraising activities, and discouraged everyone from spending money on rankings."

Mu Taozhi: "Cancel...fundraising?!"

A question mark slowly appeared on Mu Taozhi's head, and his red hair almost exploded, which looked a little funny.

"You...you not only don't promote fundraising activities, but also stop them?" Mu Taozhi felt that he was going crazy.

Is there something wrong with the world, or something wrong with his mind.

How could such outrageous things happen in my lifetime?

"I'm reminding you, it's for you to do more fund-raising activities, not for you to stop it!" Mu Taozhi felt that his brain was not enough.

"Yao Bianliang, do you know that if you miss this opportunity, you will be completely cold!"

The arc of Yao Bianliang's lips rose slightly.

Nonsense, of course she knows that.

No one knows better than her how important fans are in variety shows.

Generally speaking, as long as there are no irreparable accidents, the efforts of fans can determine the popularity of idols.

The more fans you have and the harder you work hard, the easier it is for idols to get ahead.

In order to attract fans to follow stars, capital will spend money to promote idols; when idols become popular, they will in turn draw money from fans' pockets to achieve the purpose of cutting leeks.

To put it bluntly, fans are the idol's customers and the idol's client.

Without the financial and thermal support of Party A's father, the idol would naturally be indifferent.

"Mu Taozhi, it is impossible for me to raise funds," Yao Bianliang tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, and said calmly, "I will never do such a thing as money from fans."

Mu Taozhi scratched his hair: "The fans voted for the money voluntarily, what's wrong with that?"

Yao Bianliang looked into his eyes and said seriously: "But, voluntary and being voluntary are fundamentally two different things."

be voluntary?

This word made Mu Taozhi feel a little strange, and he frowned slightly, still not quite understanding.

In his opinion, as long as the flags that were set up at the time of fundraising are not empty promises, then it is worthy of the fans.

Fundraising is just a way to encourage fans to hit the charts, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Yao Bianliang was helpless: "You don't really think that things like raising funds to hit the rankings are completely done by fans on their own initiative and voluntarily?"

"Imagine that you have joined a fan group and met many like-minded partners of the same age. You discuss your idols every day, and you chat very well."

"At this time, a fundraising campaign was launched in the group, and almost every little friend you know invested money."

"You didn't plan to spend money at first, but your friends said that if the idol does not have the support of fans, it is very likely that it will not be able to debut. The idol can only rely on us, and we must support it."

"In this case, as an immature minor, would you choose to invest a little pocket money in it?"

Mu Taozhi opened his mouth, and finally said: "Probably... will vote a little?"

Yao Bianliang nodded: "Then do you think you really invested the money 'voluntarily'?"

Mu Taozhi was speechless.

Mu Taozhi originally thought that the operation of swiping tickets was not very glorious, but if it was just to promote the fundraising activities, there should be no problem.

But now it seems that fundraising activities seem to be an even more excessive thing!

Yao Bianliang continued: "This is only the lightest situation. In order to reach the number of people required to raise funds, some fans will go around to get people to vote. After the fans who are pulled over vote, they will find other people. It's like It’s a kind of pyramid scheme.”

"Once this kind of thing starts, it's easy to stop. After you start spending money, in the next time, you will only invest more time and money for idols."

"Over time, these operations will even become a habit and a part of life."

At the beginning, Yao Bianliang knew little about fundraising.

Later, she looked up relevant information on the Internet, and only then did she really understand the operating mechanism behind this behavior.

Not to mention that her mission goal is to become cooler, even if she didn't have this mission, she would probably not be willing to do such a thing.

At this time, Mu Taozhi has fallen into the mood of doubting life.

Sorry, he was wrong.

Why did he think it was normal to engage in fund-raising activities to collect money?

Hearing Yao Bianliang's analysis, he felt that this operation was too black-hearted.

Mu Tao Zhiqi said Ai Ai: "Then what... If the fund-raising activities are so bad, then you are right to stop them. You just pretend that I didn't say those words before."

His tone was obviously lacking in confidence.

Yao Bianliang nodded in satisfaction, and patted Mu Taozhi on the shoulder: "Okay, then I'll go to the practice room for training first, and you should hurry up."

Watching the back of Yao Bianliang leaving, Mu Taozhi sat down on the chair a little discouraged.

Most of his fans are minors. And he has engaged in investment activities more than once, encouraging fans to support him.

If only that's the case. When he was acting, he often performed badly, enjoying the popularity of fans and high salary, but he never did what a qualified actor should do.

Everyone was like this before, and he thought it was normal.

But now he discovered that those seemingly normal operations in the circle were actually not correct.

Mu Taozhi sat silently on the chair, his thoughts and emotions were mixed.

Recalling Yao Bianliang's words just now and her firm eyes, Mu Taozhi felt like a villain.

He suddenly hated himself a little bit.

"What are you talking about, Yao Bianliang voluntarily rejected fans' fundraising?"

At the same time, in the No. 1 group practice hall.

Yao Xinxin's eyes widened slightly after hearing the news, and she questioned in disbelief.

The male contestant beside her chuckled, crossed his slender legs, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly: "Yes, not only that, she actually refused fans to check in for data, and asked them to follow the stars."

This man's name is Lu Yanchen, and he is a player in the No. 2 team.

Apart from being extremely handsome and being able to instantly kill all male players, there is nothing particularly outstanding in other aspects.

Because the two groups are very close, the two often meet and get acquainted after going back and forth.

After getting along for a few days, Yao Xinxin liked to discuss variety show-related matters with Lu Yanchen more and more.

After all, after handing in the mobile phone, it is difficult for even Yao Xinxin to find out what's going on outside.

But Lu Yanchen was different. Although he is just an ordinary player on the surface, he has many channels and can always find out the latest news.

At this time, hearing Lu Yanchen's words, Yao Xinxin frowned suspiciously: "This is impossible, why did Yao Bianliang do this?"

But it is impossible for any normal thinking person to do such a thing.

Isn't this just for fear that I can't get cold!

Lu Yanchen laughed lowly, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes: "It is said that it is because I feel sorry for the fans."

Yao Xinxin: "..."

Distressed fans?

This reason was so weird that it took Yao Xinxin two seconds to understand it.

It is obviously a matter of course for fans to make data for idols to make rankings and anti-criminals. There is nothing to be distressed about.

If fans are unwilling to spend money and time, what kind of star chasing is that?

Yao Xinxin was reluctant to believe it: "Could it be a hype? Marketing the favorite fan character design will not only allow fans to invest more money, but also earn the favor of passers-by."

In the entertainment industry, almost every celebrity wants to hype up their favorite fans.

Yao Xinxin has also seen the kind of celebrity who pretends to "distress" fans, but in fact wants to make more money.

Such as "putting fans in the most important position", "two-way running between idols and fans", just stir up a few topics at will, which can easily make fans lose their minds and chase stars even more crazily.

Lu Yanchen smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, she has already made a regulation in Weibo Chaohua, and now, her fans will no longer perform various tasks."

"Clarify the rules? She really dares." Yao Xinxin couldn't help laughing outright.

This Yao Bianliang must have broken the can.

Ever since the grouping, Yao Xinxin knew that Yao Bianliang would never stand up this time.

It's just that she didn't expect that under such circumstances, the other party could still make a shocking operation.

If fans are not allowed to vote, wouldn't she think that such a persona is very noble and attracts fans?

The essence of attracting fans is for traffic and to make money.

If you can't make money and have no popularity, what's the use of having a lot of diehard fans.

Such an approach is really stupid.

Lu Yanchen looked at Yao Xinxin, and a rare tenderness flashed in his eyes: "So, you don't have to make trouble for her. She is clearly digging her own grave now."

Yao Xinxin froze for a moment, then said disdainfully, "She's not worth my trouble."

She's just a starlet in the 18th line, and the Yao family can keep her out of the top in minutes.

Yao Xinxin believes that after the rematch, Yao Bianliang will have to quit the entertainment industry.

"Let's not talk about it, I have to go back to practice quickly." Yao Xinxin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, only to realize that it was too late. "I'm afraid the other teams have already started."

Speaking of this, Yao Xinxin couldn't help but gritted her teeth angrily.

If Yao Bianliang hadn't led everyone to open the book together, she would still be lying in the warm bed, having a good night's sleep happily.

It's not like now, getting up early and working late every day. He is a star, but his life is not as good as that of ordinary social animals.

Lu Yanchen also glanced at his watch, finally fell silent, and stood up: "Then let's go, don't be late."

That Yao Bianliang is really a disaster.

In this rematch, she must not be allowed to stay.

The two walked towards their own practice room, Lu Yanchen walked to an empty corner, his eyes were lowered, and a dark light flickered in his eyes.

He made a call with his watch.

After a while of noise, the assistant's respectful voice came from the other end: "Young Master Lu? What are your orders?"

Lu Yanchen asked: "Tomorrow is the same-stage PK in the variety show rematch. Is there a script for the program group?"

The assistant quickly said: "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, we have already greeted the program team. Your votes will definitely be the highest among the contestants in the same group."

The fact that Lu Yanchen is the director's son of the Lu Group has been concealed from the outside world, and most people don't know his true identity.

However, before Lu Yanchen entered the variety show, the Lu family had already greeted the chief director of the program group. Therefore, all the speakers knew how deep Lu Yanchen's background was, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect him.

Lu Yanchen frowned: "That's not what I said."

"This..." the assistant was confused, "What does Young Master Lu mean?"

Lu Yanchen paused, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and finally said slowly: "Let the judges give Yao Xinxin more votes."

When mentioning Yao Xinxin, he couldn't help but see the girl's frown and smile in his mind, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Also, let the program team target Yao Bianliang," Lu Yanchen said lightly, "Didn't she claim to be good at acting? Arrange the judges to pick out her mistakes in the acting process, so that she has no chance of turning over."

Dare to make Yao Xinxin unhappy, then there is no need for her to exist.

Lu Yanchen had already made up his mind, and after the variety show was over, he would completely block Yao Bianliang.

The assistant was secretly surprised, but still responded, "Understood."

Of course he knew that Young Master Lu and Yao Xinxin had gotten very close these past few days. It's just that he really didn't expect that Young Master Lu would care so much about this female contestant.

Not long after they met, he not only opened the back door for Yao Xinxin, but also directly helped Yao Xinxin solve Yao Bianliang's big trouble.

Could it be... this is the legendary boyfriend power?

The assistant asked cautiously: "Then how many tickets do you think is appropriate for the judges to give Yao Bianliang?"

If Yao Bianliang is not given a single ticket, that would be too much, and it may cause public opinion to backlash.

Lu Yanchen thought for a while, and finally said: "Let the program team arrange it, just give her a ticket."

A few light words determined Yao Bianliang's future fate.

Hearing this, the assistant couldn't help hesitating and said, "But, is this going too far..."

If you change the score from 90 to 70, you may not see any difference.

But if you change the score from 90 to 10, even an idiot can see something is wrong!

Yao Bianliang's acting skills are already very good, if she is only given one vote, there is no guarantee that other people will not question her.

At that time, once someone with a heart arouses public opinion, even Young Master Lu may not be able to settle it well.

Lu Yanchen's tone became cold: "Just do as I say."

She's just a starlet with no background, so blocking her is just a matter of one sentence. Why do you need to be so careful?

"...Yes." The assistant shrank his neck, not daring to speak any more.

He looked at the hung up call, sighed, and lowered his head to send a message to the program director.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Young Master Lu is extremely powerful, while Yao Bianliang is just a little transparent with no fans, no background, and no traffic.

How can a person like her have the ability to threaten Lu Shao?

Come to think of it, he was overthinking.

———

next day, morning

The same-stage PK link of "Good Drama PK Competition" has finally officially started.

Different from the primary election, the semi-finals did not adopt the method of filming dramas in private, but let each contestant perform on stage, just like rehearsing a drama to complete the entire plot.

As the live broadcast progressed, more and more viewers poured into the live broadcast room.

[Come here, I look forward to the results after a week of rehearsal. 】

【Hahaha, my brother Mu wakes up at five o'clock in the morning and goes to bed at twelve o'clock in the evening. I would like to call him the strongest volume king. 】

【Ahhh, my Xinxin is here, this fairy dress is really beautiful. 】

[Pure passerby, I heard that this issue of "Good Drama PK Competition" is a special volume, so I came here to check the situation. 】

[Brothers in front, believe me, this PK will definitely bring you surprises! 】

As everyone expected, the PK on the same stage in this issue is quite exciting.

Yao Xinxin's acting skills were good at first, but after these few days of crazy practice, they have obviously become better.

Other players have also improved to varying degrees. Although the acting skills are not superb, at least it doesn't look so embarrassing, and it doesn't make the audience play.

For this situation, Yao Bianliang was satisfied and gratified.

She sincerely hopes that all these players will perform a little better for her, and then a little better, and it is best to surpass her in all of them.

In this way, it is completely logical for her to be eliminated.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yao Bianliang put on the policewoman's costume on time, sat on the sofa and waited.

Looking in the direction of the stage from a distance, she could vaguely see the lights flickering there.

There was a burst of applause from the audience, and the members of Group 5 had finished their performance and bowed and left the stage one after another.

"Group No. 6, ready to play!" The staff waved at them, signaling them to step forward and prepare.

Yao Bianliang straightened his wrinkled cuffs and stood up.

Looking at the glamorous stage under the spotlight and the dark audience below the stage, the corners of her lips curled up.

Speaking of which, this should be her last time on stage, right?

After today, she will be able to completely lie flat and cool off!
