You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 3: The third day of the hit

Two days later, "Good Drama PK Competition" finally started broadcasting as scheduled.

The determination of the members of each group has aroused a new wave of discussions among netizens.

【Ahhh, my Xinxin went to Director Yuan's group! 】

[Xinxin is really beautiful, acting in a youth school drama must be popular! 】

[Thanks to Director Yuan for his recognition of my Xinxin]

In the dressing room, Yao Xinxin opened the live broadcast room and saw a barrage of barrages.

The corners of her lips could not help but rise slightly, evoking a beautiful arc.

"Sister Xin, our drama "Youth Is Sweet with You" has reached the second place on the TOP list!"

The assistant held the phone, his eyes gleaming with joy.

"So fast?" Yao Xinxin was a little surprised.

However, after thinking about it, the male protagonist who plays with her is a popular little fresh meat after all.

It is not surprising that there are so many votes.

She straightened her hair and asked casually, "By the way, do you know which group Yao Bianliang went to?"

The assistant thought for a while: "I remember, Yao Bianliang tried to squeeze into the allocated group, but was unsuccessful. It seems that just two days ago, she finally negotiated with director Cheng Liuhui and went to the 10th group."

"Group 10?" Yao Xinxin wasn't sure, "That youth school drama with no emotional lines?"

"That's right," the assistant nodded, "Not only that, Yao Bianliang, as the heroine, needs to wear ugly makeup."

Yao Xinxin: "..."

Hearing this, Yao Xinxin almost couldn't laugh out loud.

Since the requirements of the No. 10 group were too weird, she had of course heard of one or two.

Moreover, not long ago, director Cheng Liuhui sent out an invitation on his own initiative. Of course, she didn't pay attention to each other at all.

She really didn't expect that Yao Bianliang chose this group that no one wanted to join after picking and choosing.

"Sister Xin, tell me, did Yao Bianliang break the pot?" the assistant asked.

Yao Xinxin couldn't help but sneered slightly, and shook her head with a smile: "Who knows what she thinks."

Fortunately, she was worried that Yao Bianliang would cause her troubles in variety shows.

Now it seems that she is completely worrying too much.

Going to the No. 10 group and cooperating with an 18th line director with no traffic, what kind of waves can this cause?

"It's a pity to let such a good face go unused." She clicked her tongue twice.

Although unwilling to admit it, Yao Xinxin knew in her heart that Yao Bianliang's face was indeed pretty.

If she chooses to play the role of a vase, maybe she can really attract a group of fans and pass the primary selection.

But now, she voluntarily gave up her only advantage.

Yao Xinxin didn't think that Yao Bianliang could make a comeback with other things.

"But Miss Xin, there is one more thing that deserves our attention," the assistant said, "Your popularity is getting higher and higher, and someone has noticed your relationship with Yao Bianliang."

Yao Xinxin frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"You and Yao Bianliang both have the surname 'Yao'. Some netizens picked up a photo of you once together, so everyone guesses that you are related."

The assistant also heard some rumors about the Yao family.

Yao Xinxin was lost since she was a child, grew up in an orphanage, and was taken back by Yao's family when she was a teenager.

Although she never received a good education since she was a child, Yao Xinxin is very good. After returning to Yao's house, she was immediately favored by her parents, but at the same time, she also attracted Yao Bianliang's hostility.

Driven by jealousy, Yao Bianliang started to make trouble. She used lies to frame Yao Xinxin more than once, and openly made things difficult for him time and time again, which aroused the disgust of everyone in the Yao family.

Finally, at a dance party, Yao Bianliang accidentally pushed Yao Xinxin into a cold pool during an argument with Yao Xinxin.

The whole night, Yao Xinxin had a high fever, and Yao Bianliang became the target of public criticism.

According to the doctor, Yao Bianliang's mental state is already a little unstable, and he is prone to stress reactions when he is stimulated.

But Yao's father and Yao's mother did not believe this statement. Seeing Yao Xinxin lying in a coma on the bed, they felt very distressed, and they only had strong disgust and disgust for Yao Bianliang.

This incident became the fuse, and Yao Bianliang was kicked out of Yao's house by his parents.

After being kicked out, Yao Bianliang still didn't stop there. When she heard that Yao Xinxin signed up for the variety show "Good Drama PK Competition", she also signed up decisively.

Sometimes the assistant felt that Yao Bianliang was really persistent, as if he was determined to fight Yao Xinxin to the end.

Yao Xinxin frowned slightly: "What kind of trouble is she going to do?"

To be honest, she has always hated this sister.

I was lost since I was a child and lived in an orphanage for more than ten years; on the other hand, Yao Bianliang lived a good life and enjoyed the love of his parents since he was a child.

She was brought back, isn't it normal for her parents to give her a little more pampering? Shouldn't Yao Bianliang give way to her more?

As a result, instead of giving way to her, Yao Bianliang complained that she had taken away her parents' attention and made trouble again and again.

Later, she even became a little nervous, and her behavior intensified.

Yao's father and Yao's mother couldn't bear her appearance either, and immediately kicked her out of the house after the ball incident.

Yao Xinxin is naturally happy to see the results.

Now, she only hoped that Yao Bianliang would stay away, An Anxin would be a transparent person, and it would be best not to appear in her sight again.

The assistant said: "Then Yao Bianliang is really unscrupulous for the sake of popularity. I don't see her recognize you as a sister on weekdays, but when it comes to this kind of time, I still don't forget to take a wave of your popularity."

Yao Xinxin's complexion was a little ugly.

Yao Bianliang's role in "To Our Youth" needs to be ugly all the way, and the reputation will definitely not be good at that time.

And she, if she wants to play with the popular traffic Mu Taozhi, her future is limitless.

If at this time, Yao Bianliang pulls her into marketing, it will only have disadvantages for her, and there will be no benefits.

"I see," Yao Xinxin's eyes narrowed slightly, "I will find a way to deal with this matter."

No matter what, she must never let Yao Bianliang gain even the slightest bit of popularity from her!

The gap between Yao Bianliang and Yao Xinxin is indeed very wide.

Compared with Yao Xinxin's lively discussion, Group 10 seemed extremely deserted.

The number of people in the live broadcast room was pitifully small, and occasionally a few comments floated by, and they were only negative opinions.

[By the way, there are so few people in group 10, there are only 3 actors]

[I also want to talk about this problem, the configuration of this group is so shabby]

["To Our Youth"? Is Group No. 10 also filming youth dramas?]

[The introduction of this show is so boring, it doesn’t feel interesting]

When Yao Bianliang opened the live broadcast room, he saw such comments.

This satisfied her immensely.

Great, this is what I want!

With a good mood, Yao Bianliang simply checked the popularity list.

No. 1 on the TOP list, "Xiaoxiao Maple Leaf Falling", a costume martial arts drama, has an expectation of 4.9 stars.

The reason why this drama topped the list is not because of how wonderful the drama is, but because the male lead is a popular male singer—He Yanning.

He Yanning has 30 million fans, any random fans can help him get on the list.

The second place on the TOP list is "Youth is Sweet with You" by Yao Xinxin

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is a campus sweet pet drama.

The male protagonist, Mu Taozhi, is a popular little fresh meat, and is the second top player in "Good Drama PK Competition".

The reason why this drama can be on TOP2 is all due to Mu Taozhi's fans. Yao Xinxin just followed suit.

TOP1 fights with TOP2 gods, and the number of votes is chasing after each other. It's so lively.

After that, the middle groups also competed fiercely.

Whether it was the contestants or the director, they all posted on Weibo and started canvassing for votes.

On the other hand, in the last two or three groups, the director is not well-known, the actors are pure rookies, and the number of votes is pitifully small.

Especially their 10th group, which can be described as the worst of all groups, was left far behind.

Even though Cheng Liuhui and the three actors all posted Weibo promotions, they only raised their arms and got very few responses.

"Sister Liang, it's time for you to put on your makeup." The young wife, Chen Xiaoyu, stood at the door, beckoning to Yao Bianliang, and brought her back to her thoughts.

Only then did Yao Bianliang take back the phone: "Okay, here we come."

She is looking forward to today's makeup look.

Except for the freckles that need to be painted, the rest of the places are directly exposed without makeup, so that the appearance value is minimized.

In terms of hairstyle, combing an old-fashioned younger sister's hair is dull and boring at first glance.

As for clothing, as long as you wear that ugly school uniform, no matter how beautiful your face is, it will be useless.

Finally, wear round black-rimmed glasses to interpret the image of a nerd.

Simply perfect!

When Yao Bianliang walked out of the fitting room, several people present were shocked.

"Hiss... violent waste." The middle-aged actress Zhang Jie muttered to herself.

Little Zhengtai actor Chen Xiaoyu also covered his eyes, feeling a little distressed: "This is too ordinary."

What a beautiful face, how did it become like this?

Chen Xiaoyu felt that even if Yao Bianliang appeared in the photo without makeup, he would look better than this one.

There were also sporadic barrages floating in the live broadcast room.

【Well, this heroine is a bit ugly... Is that okay to say? 】

[Actually, it's not ugly, it can only be regarded as ordinary-looking at most]

【My God, this good looks actually acted in a youth idol drama? Who gave you the courage]

[Uh, am I the only one who thinks that the freckles on the heroine's face are cute? 】

[Withdrawn, this group is here to make a joke]

[I strongly recommend everyone to watch Yao Xinxin's "Youth is Sweet with You"

Handsome men and beautiful women, performing a kissing scene on the first day of the live broadcast, really super exciting! 】

For a while, the barrage was full of complaints about Yao Bianliang's appearance.

Yao Bianliang looked at the reactions of several teammates, and knew that this makeup effect was good.

Her mood eased down.

In the plot of the original novel, the original body spent a lot of effort to squeeze into a good team, played a vase role in it, and finally passed the primary selection with good looks.

But now, her makeup has completely concealed her true appearance, which can be said to have blocked the only way to pass the primary election.

Next, she just needs to mislead everyone to regard this ugly makeup as her real face value, avoid those face powder, isn't it easy to get cool?

However, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she has never done this before.

This is her first time doing small tricks, so I'm afraid she still has to get used to it.

"Sister Liang, don't be too sad. At worst, post your photos without makeup on the Internet, and the rumors will be self-defeating." Teammate Xiaoyu comforted.

Yao Bianliang came back to his senses, and quickly showed a comforting smile: "No, no need to post photos! Isn't it just a few words from the audience, I'm fine."

She is really happy, so this smile is very sincere.

And at this moment, a system notification sounded in her mind.

[Drip, please note that the host deliberately leads the audience to misunderstand his appearance, which is malicious deception; if the host violates the rules, the task will be automatically judged as failure]

The smile on Yao Bianliang's face froze.

What's the meaning?

Can't she let the audience misunderstand her appearance?

"Host, have you forgotten," the system reminded, "When you choose a task, there is a note that stipulates that the host must not violate the law and basic morals, and must be dedicated."

The curvature of Yao Bianliang's lips gradually disappeared.

For some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Xiao Yu stood beside him, watching helplessly as the sincere smile on Yao Bianliang's face gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a sad and painful expression.

Still say you're fine? Look, how sad this is!

Sure enough, Yao Bianliang was forcing a smile just now.

"By the way, host, I have a detailed host rule here, you can take a look."

The system's voice fell, and immediately after, a transparent light panel appeared in front of Yao Bianliang's eyes.

[Host Rules]

[1. The host must not break the law: such as tax evasion, beating others without reason, disturbing public order, etc. (click to expand 250 detailed rules)

2. The host must not violate the basic moral principles: such as falsification, deceiving netizens, malicious marketing, etc. (click to expand the 745 rules)

3. The host has to be dedicated: such as vacating too many schedules, playing big names, deliberately lowering the level of acting skills, etc. (click to expand 1314 rules)

Click to expand the remaining 66 items

71. The host shall not inform or imply the existence of other systems in any form]

There are many clauses, densely packed, dazzled Yao Bianliang's eyes.

But to sum it up, just one sentence - put an end to all crooked ways, you can only honestly become cool!

The system explained: "Host, if you mislead the audience and let everyone regard this ugly makeup as your real appearance, this is obviously malicious marketing and violates basic morality."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Yao Bianliang's lips trembled, and he was speechless for a while.

She was wrong, she was too naive.

The cooling task seems simple, but if various restrictions are added, the difficulty will be several times higher than she imagined!

This dog system really doesn't really give any bonus points.

The system was very wronged: "Host, didn't you come here for the previous missions? We are law-abiding citizens!"

Yao Bianliang did not think of completing the task in an illegal way.

However, according to the requirements of the system, she can't do anything even slightly unethical, and she must remain dedicated at all times—this setting is a bit too much!

It is obviously not easy for a law-abiding, dedicated, and outstanding actor to become cool.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Bianliang silently warned himself not to panic.

Maybe things are not as bad as imagined.

"To Our Youth" is a boring script she chose out of thousands of choices, and it is impossible to become popular.

As long as the drama is not popular, it doesn't matter how good-looking she is.

What's more, although malicious marketing is not allowed, she can choose not to show her face in public or post selfies.

In this way, it is unlikely that she will gain fans by virtue of her appearance.

A little goofy guy, acting in a little goofy drama, shouldn't become popular... right?

Beside him, several teammates looked at Yao Bianliang's pale face, as if he had been hit hard, and couldn't help feeling very complicated.

Yao Bianliang sacrificed so much to perform this drama well!

"So... shall we take a makeup photo now?" the photographer scratched his head and asked in a low voice.

Only then did Yao Bianliang come back to his senses reluctantly, and finally made himself less emotionally exposed than before.

"Shoot, of course." She said.

Come to think of it, maybe things weren't that bad.

Isn't it just that you can't engage in crooked ways, but you can only be honest and cool?

In the entertainment circle, there are many actors with strength, acting skills, and good looks, but how many people are really popular.

After all, it is a matter of probability.

For a little transparency like her who has no backstage and no background, even if she desperately wants to become popular, it is even more difficult.

not to mention...

Yao Bianliang thought of Yao's mother and Yao Xinxin who drove her out of the house.

In the original novel, Yao Xinxin once suppressed her.

With this setting, no matter how good she is, it's impossible for her to get ahead, right?
