You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 41: The forty-first day of the hit

◎"What did you say, Yao Bianliang actually set up his own studio?" In the office, a middle-aged man in a suit with the appearance of a successful man stood up, quite surprised◎

"What are you talking about, Yao Bianliang actually set up his own studio?"

In the office, a middle-aged man in a suit with the appearance of a successful person stood up, quite surprised.

Sitting opposite him, Lu Yanchen crossed his fingers and said indifferently: "Yes, it's also lucky that Mr. Sheng specially invited her to join Ansheng Entertainment. But now it seems that her ambition is not as simple as being a star."

Mr. Sheng laughed twice, a little embarrassed.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "Young Master Lu is right. If I had known that Yao Bianliang had offended you, I would never have recruited her into Ansheng Entertainment no matter what!"

When mentioning Yao Bianliang, Mr. Sheng also had a trace of dissatisfaction and disgust in his eyes.

He had never seen such a ignorant female star.

They promised such good resources, but she didn't appreciate it at all, and turned around and set up a studio by herself.

Not only can't see the situation clearly, but also stupid.

Without the support of a big company, she is a small artist with no background who is fighting alone in the entertainment industry, can she still succeed?

Of course, it's also fortunate that she didn't sign with Ansheng Entertainment. Otherwise, it's really not worthwhile to offend the Lu Group for the sake of Yao Bianliang.

"Young Master Lu, it's thanks to your help that our company's artist scandals were suppressed this time," Mr. Sheng said with a smile, "I assure you, "Good Drama PK Competition" is absolutely impossible this time." Share the heat with Yao Bianliang."

Lu Yanchen nodded, with some satisfaction in his eyes.

What he was waiting for was Mr. Sheng's words.

Yao Bianliang went it alone, and the funds were barely enough for filming, how could there be extra money for publicity?

At that time, other contestants will not only have their own companies to buy popular search promotions, but the program team will also help drive the popularity. Only Yao Bianliang has nothing.

In addition, she also chose an extremely unpopular theme this time, which is completely out of line with the mainstream of the market. If you want to catch fire, it is simply impossible!

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Sheng." Lu Yanchen nodded slightly.

Mr. Sheng chuckled and didn't say anything more, a gleam flashed in his small eyes.

In fact, even if Lu Yanchen didn't say anything, he didn't intend to give Yao Bianliang's short play any publicity or traffic.

Since I rejected Ansheng Entertainment's invitation, I have to be prepared to sit on the bench in variety shows.

He will let Yao Bianliang know that refusing to sign with Ansheng Entertainment must be the worst decision in her life.

In fact, Lu Yanchen and Mr. Sheng made a mistake in their prediction.

It's not that Yao Bianliang doesn't have enough publicity funds, on the contrary, she doesn't plan to spend any money on publicity at all!

Just kidding, the system task requires a sufficiently small amount of playback.

If she invested money in publicity and increased the number of views, wouldn't she be digging her own grave?

She's crazy to do that.

In fact, the mission requirements this time are very beneficial to Yao Bianliang. Because there is no particularly direct relationship between praise and playback volume.

For some dramas, a certain episode has a score of 8:00, or even 9:00, and has received rave reviews, but this does not affect their traffic and the number of broadcasts is pitifully small.

On the contrary, some dramas seem to have only five or six points on Douban. Many people complain about the old-fashioned plot of this thing, but its broadcast volume can break the record, making the crew and investors a lot of money. Full.

After all, the silent majority is the majority.

"It feels like the situation is not bad," Yao Bianliang looked at the remarks on Weibo, showing a satisfied expression, "The theme of our drama actually collided with Yao Xinxin's drama."

In fact, it was said that there was a crash, but not all crashes.

Although the heroine of Yao Xinxin's short play is a doctor, the main story line is elsewhere. The whole drama is full of links such as Su Shuang, face-slapping, dating and so on. At first glance, it looks like a commercial film adapted to the market.

On the other hand, Yao Bianliang's production team did not have Su Shuang's slap in the face, let alone a love story, and the whole process was depressing.

Although the comments from netizens are almost all positive, Yao Bianliang can guarantee that there will not be too many people watching this drama in the end.

"Teacher Yao...do we really need to revise this script?"

Screenwriter An Xincheng sat across from Yao Bianliang and rubbed his hands nervously.

From the time he was notified that the script had passed the review to the signing of the contract and payment of the manuscript fee, it took only two days.

For the past two days, An Xincheng has been dreaming.

This kind of good thing, he really didn't dare to dream about it before, but now it really happened to him.

However, after receiving the manuscript fee and improving the quality of life, An Xincheng felt more and more uneasy.

He knew that the script he wrote had almost no commercial value.

Yao Bianliang spent so much money on his manuscripts, and invested so much money on filming. If the time comes to throw too badly and lose all his money, then he won't make others miserable.

Although the money lost was not his, An Xincheng still felt guilty.

"Change the script?" Yao Bianliang was taken aback for a moment, then the corner of his mouth twitched, "There is no need to change it, isn't it very good."

She paused, then reassured: "You don't have to worry, our drama itself is not aimed at traffic or making money. It doesn't matter if you lose money, I have plenty of money."

When she receives a bonus of 100 billion yuan, what is this little money worth?

It's just drizzle, not worth mentioning.

An Xincheng: "..."

Okay, since Party A has said so, what else does he have to worry about?

An Xincheng was also quite emotional.

It is rumored that Yao Bianliang is full of love for acting and doesn't care about traffic at all. He was a little skeptical at first.

But only after I got in touch with it did I know that the rumors were not exaggerated, they were even a bit conservative!

In order to make a good work, Yao Bianliang is even willing to pay out of his own pocket to make a work that is destined to lose money. This is more than just "full of love".

An Xincheng has been a screenwriter for Pujie for so long, and has seen various parties. Most of the first reactions of the parties when they see the script are to ask if there is any market, whether they have hit the hot spots, and whether they have similar success. case.

It was really the first time he met someone like Yao Bianliang.

Facing Yao Bianliang's sincere gaze, An Xincheng's heart was also full of enthusiasm: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will shoot exactly according to my idea?"

As a screenwriter, the most taboo is for others to point fingers.

For a while, actors asked to add plays, and for a while, investors asked to delete and modify the plot. From time to time, directors and related parties came to give their opinions. In short, anyone can get involved in this plot design.

Everyone's ideas are not unified, and laymen guide experts, it is easy to end up with a script that is completely different, and the preface does not match the afterword.

After the show airs, if any plot goes wrong, the screenwriter has to take full responsibility for it.

Under An Xincheng's apprehensive eyes, Yao Bianliang smiled slightly: "Of course you are here to take charge of the whole process. I don't worry if you handle the matter!"

An excellent screenwriter who can write such a script, shouldn't let him take full responsibility.

If someone else guides it and adds some hot elements to make this drama a plot that the audience loves to watch, then where is she going to cry.

An Xincheng received an affirmative answer, and besides being moved, his heart was also excited.

"Thank you, Teacher Yao," he said, "Thank you for appreciating me so much. I...I will do my best to make this drama well!"

No arrears of manuscript fees, no random suggestions for revisions, allowing him to participate in the whole process of filming, but also free to play, such a party A is really hard to find.

An Xincheng secretly made up his mind.

Regardless of the result this time, he will definitely live up to Yao Bianliang's expectations and try his best to do his best!

Thinking about it carefully, with Yao Bianliang's strength, it is not difficult to perform these plays well, and there are not many places that need him. But other actors may not necessarily.

Thinking of this, An Xincheng took out his phone, invited several other supporting actors, and formed a small group for everyone.

the other side.

Long Guoqing and the others sat in a corner of the hospital.

——The reason why they sat in the corner was mainly because in the eyes of uninformed people, the group of them poked their heads, looked around, and spoke and acted strangely, which seemed too sneaky.

In order not to cause the tragedy of being suspected and kicked out, they had to keep a low profile.

But at this time, several people had stopped observing and studying, and looked down at their phones in unison.

After reading the content of the document sent by the screenwriter in the chat group, they fell into a long-term sluggish state.

"This... is this our script?" The tall and thin little Hu opened his mouth, his voice trembling.

what did he see

Important supporting roles, with names and surnames, full of characters, not only can show their faces, but also have a lot of lines!

Is this a supporting role for them?

The person who recruited them into the group did say that they would send the lines of the script to them later. But they all feel that even if there is a script, it should only be a short plot.

But now it seems that this is a short paragraph? This is clearly the key character who runs through the whole play and plays an important role!

"This is unscientific..." One person's voice was dry, "Could it be a mistake somewhere?"

"Then, let me ask the screenwriter?" Long Guoqing started typing with trembling fingers.

Several people stood behind Long Guoqing, looking head to head, staring at Long Guoqing's mobile phone screen.

Because Long Guoqing was nervous, he made typos several times, which caused everyone to become more and more nervous.

Fortunately, a minute later, the message was finally sent successfully.

"Hello screenwriter, I would like to ask, is this script correct? Our role is so important?"

An Xincheng also seemed surprised, and only replied after a while.

"Well. You are all important supporting roles in this play. Didn't Teacher Yao tell you?"

Long Guoqing and the others looked at each other.

Of course they didn't say anything, they didn't even know who the "Teacher Yao" the screenwriter was talking about, and naturally they didn't even know their roles.

From the very beginning, they thought that what they were going to act was just a sideshow with a few lines!

Long Guoqing couldn't help asking: "Ms. Yao is...?"

The corner of An Xincheng's mouth twitched, and after a long time, they didn't even know this.

"Ms. Yao is the leading actor of our crew, Yao Bianliang, and also an investor," he explained, "She recruited you into the crew. This time she is going to shoot the final work of "Good Drama PK Competition". You are The actor who played with her."

Everyone: "!"

The name Yao Bianliang sounded familiar to them, but they didn't immediately agree on the name.

But "Good Drama PK Competition" is the hottest variety show at the moment, of course these people know something about it!

"It's such a good script..." The heartbeats of several people started to speed up.

This also means that the plays they acted are not the kind of short plays of the three-none small workshops, but real and regular scripts, which will not lack audiences to watch.

If they can play this role well, does that mean that they may not have to continue to be the kind of non-actors in the future, but have the opportunity to play supporting roles?

Thinking of this possibility, Long Guoqing and the others could no longer remain calm.

Pie in the sky is nothing more than that!

"Brothers, shouldn't we go to the temple to burn a stick of incense now?" Xiao Hu scratched his head and couldn't help but ask.

Long Guoqing's expression was a little dazed, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he heard this, and then he saw the brother next to him with a serious face: "It makes sense, take me one."

Long Guoqing: "..."

Can you all calm down a bit.

Well, having said that, he himself couldn't keep calm.

In between their chats, in the chat group, news from the screenwriter continued to come.

An Xincheng: "I formed a small group. If you have any questions about the understanding of the characters and the plot, you can ask me in the group."

"In addition, I also invited the director in. You can ask him any questions about acting."

Several people's eyes lit up. Long Guoqing immediately replied by typing: "Okay, thank you!"

They do have a lot of questions. After all, since they entered the industry, several of them have been acting by themselves and learned by themselves, and they don't understand many things.

Now, with a famous teacher who is willing to give advice, it would be great.

Everyone was in high spirits and became more motivated. Especially Xiao Hu, who grinned from the corners of his mouth to the base of his ears, and was already so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Looking at that posture, I can't wait to live in the hospital and study the script frantically for 24 hours.

And at this moment, one of them looked at the screen of the phone and suddenly let out a slight snort.

"Strange, why does this person look so familiar..."

Long Guoqing turned around in doubt: "What's wrong?"

The man scratched his head, looked at the screen a little uncertainly, and handed the phone to Long Guoqing.

"I heard from screenwriter An that the lead actor in our show is named Yao Bianliang, so I searched for her photos on the Internet out of curiosity." He paused, a little hesitant, "but her appearance seems familiar. look..."

The person next to him twitched his mouth and was very speechless: "Aren't you talking nonsense? He is a big star, so of course he looks familiar."

Celebrities, they often appear on TV, posters, and advertisements. Maybe they have seen each other's photos somewhere in the show. So, even if it looks familiar, it's not surprising at all.

"That's not what I mean," the person who spoke earlier was a little anxious, "Don't you think we've seen her before?"

Well, have you seen it?

Several people blinked their eyes in confusion, and together with Long Guoqing, they turned their gazes to the photo on the phone screen.

The **** the screen is wearing casual clothes and a peaked cap, sitting cross-legged on a step, eating a boxed lunch very intently.

There is a string of text next to it, which reads "Yao Bianliang appeared in the film and television city, there is a new play suspected to be released soon".

It is indeed very familiar, and this scene seems to be familiar there.

"Wait, this isn't..." Long Guoqing was stunned.

Isn't this the extra girl they met when they were having lunch the day before yesterday!
