I really didn't want to be popular [entertainment circle]

Arriving at the office the next day, Shen Yulan was informed that the pre-sale of the magazine exceeded 17 copies on the first day.

"The pre-sales of the annual magazine have increased by 80.00% from the previous quarter. Compared with the sales data of other companies, we are temporarily leading the first place." The manager said.

"That's right." Shen Youlan said, "Now call a meeting, and our plan B will be put on the agenda."

Shen Youlan turned on the computer before the meeting, and there was an unprocessed email lying in the mailbox, which was sent to him by Li Silu, the new manager of Xinghan Studio.

Dear

I am Li Silu, the new manager of Xinghan Entertainment Studio, and I will take over Su Zibo's personal affairs with full authority.

……

A mass notification email, obviously Shen Youlan was also included.Shen Youlan is not familiar with things in the entertainment industry, and most of the people she contacts are producers and directors. Managers change quickly in the industry, and after many people are familiar with each other, they quickly become another one.

Shen Youlan went to search for this Li Silu, and found nine out of ten scolding him.Therefore, Shen Youlan had a premonition that this person was not very good, so she asked other broker friends in the circle.

"Li Silu? He's very good. You see those who scold him are all fans' comments. Fans, you know, they are a bit unsatisfactory and they can't scold their idols. They can only scold their managers first. In other words, if you scold him a lot, That’s really popular.”

Shen Youlan understood the reason, and felt that she had a new understanding of the relationship between fans and idols at that moment.

I was bored and went to browse Su Zibo's super chat. Sure enough, the news that he changed his manager has already spread among fans, and the speed is amazing.

There are also a few photos of how many magazines they bought.

Of course, he didn't understand the comparison psychology among fans, but he did provide them with some substantial things.Shen Youlan is not a saint, he naturally hopes that this quarterly magazine, with their combination and the blessing of Su Zibo, will allow him to give a perfect explanation to the headquarters.

After the meeting, the final plan was very simple. As many copies as the magazine sells out, there will be as many benefits as possible. The final benefit is of course a blessing video.What Shen Youlan hopes is that Su Zibo will also film together, but at present, this high goal may not be achieved, and he has not persuaded Su Zibo to help them film this video.

This is something later.

His ultimate hope is that Su Zibo will be popular, and he can use this popularity to exchange more resources. He believes in his own vision, otherwise he would not have reached an agreement with Xu Yiqing years ago.

Xu Yiqing asked him to use his own fashion resources to accumulate traffic for Su Zibo, on the contrary, he asked Su Zibo's own traffic to give new vitality to the fashion circle.Xu Yiqing hopes that Su Zibo will not only be an actor idol, but also become a fashion icon.

Otherwise, what would he do for Su Zibo?

However, taking him to the gym to socialize and play mahjong is also Shen Youlan's personal behavior.

One thing he had to admit was that Su Zibo was likable.

Shen Youlan closed the laptop, picked up the clothes on the back of the chair, and got off work on time.

Back home, the car was parked in the yard, and just as Shen Youlan was about to enter the door, the eye-catching big green frog on the opposite side made two roars.

As soon as the light shone, the outline of half of Shen Youlan's body was clearly illuminated.

"Hi." Jiang Baicheng greeted him, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Shen Youlan said.

"I ordered takeaway, and I ordered too much, do you want to eat together." Jiang Baicheng said.

Shen Youlan instinctively wanted to refuse, but the other party had already run to his door.Shen Youlan saw that he was indeed carrying a bag in his hand, and just about to make a sound, the door opened.

"Then I'm leaving." A tall man walked out from inside.

"...Okay, thank you Brother Lu." Su Zibo said from behind.

He was wearing a cow pattern pajamas with upper and lower parts today, and there was a hood on the back. Shen Youlan had never seen him wear it, so it was probably a new one.

Shen Youlan looked up and down, then moved to Li Silu.

"...This is?" Li Silu asked.

"I... the landlord." Su Zibo looked at Shen Youlan, as if he didn't know whether he should introduce his identity.

"Shen Youlan?" Li Silu read it once, and seemed to find the name familiar.

"I'm the deputy editor of "Cherry" China, and I received your email this morning." Shen Youlan held out her hand to him.

"Oh..." Li Silu smiled, "It's you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Why didn't Chen Jue mention this to me?" Li Silu turned to Su Zibo and said.

"..." Su Zibo shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Do you want to eat, then I will take my leave first." Li Silu said, "Remember to give me feedback on what I mentioned to you today."

"Okay, Brother Lu, go slowly." Su Zibo said.

After Li Silu left, Jiang Baicheng, who had been silent just now, jumped out and said, "Mr. Shen, let's have dinner together."

Su Zibo was taken aback by him, and blurted out: "Why is he here?"

"Hello!" Jiang Baicheng waved to him enthusiastically, and then took out the takeaway in his hand, "I ordered food today, what do you like to eat?"

Su Zibo was a little unhappy at first, but Shen Youlan leaned her head to take a look, and said to Su Zibo, "Don't you like eating kale and boiled fish?"

"Ah, what a coincidence." Jiang Baicheng said, "That happens to be together?"

Su Zibo would be a little hungry now, so he could only roll his eyes and say, "Then let's go together."

Jiang Baicheng was let into the house, Shen Youlan stood between the two of them, and said behind Su Zibo: "I haven't seen you wearing this pajamas."

"Brother Chen brought it before, it seems to be a gift from a fan." Su Zibo looked back at him, "Does it look good?"

"..." Shen Youlan wanted to say that she was cute, but there were outsiders around, so she could only say "hmm".

Su Zibo was in a normal mood at first, but when Shen Youlan praised him, he jumped up and ran to pour water for Jiang Baicheng.

The three of them ate together, Jiang Baicheng was a lively person, and he and Shen Youlan were basically chatting during the meal.Speaking of being a third-year student, this is the house his father bought for him, as is the car, and he doesn't hide his demeanor of the rich second generation at all.Su Zibo was cooking the whole time, glanced at Shen Youlan from time to time, and continued to cook with his head down.

"Then your magazine is on pre-sale, I'll order you a hundred copies, and distribute it to my dad's company!" Jiang Baicheng said.

"..." Shen Youlan said, "No need, one hundred copies are too many..."

"If you want it, I'll place an order now." Jiang Baicheng held his chopsticks in his mouth, "I will support your work."

As soon as Su Zibo put down the chopsticks, Jiang Baicheng immediately said, "Are you full?"

"Yes." Su Zibo nodded.

"I've also placed an order," Jiang Baicheng said.

Shen Youlan suddenly turned her head and said, "Don't you think the person on the cover looks familiar?"

"Isn't it him?" Jiang Baicheng pointed at Su Zibo, "It's easy to recognize."

"..." Su Zibo said, "Is there..."

"I'm not chasing stars." Jiang Baicheng said, "But I felt familiar with you the first time I saw you."

Shen Youlan smiled and didn't say anything, Su Zibo couldn't help but say awkwardly, "Oh...thank you."

After dinner, Shen Youlan finally asked Jiang Baicheng to leave on the grounds of work.Before leaving, the other party helped clean up the table, it was hard not to let Su Zibo feel that he was being too narrow-minded.

Su Zibo went to wash the chopsticks, Shen Youlan went to the cabinet behind him to get a bottle of Perrier, lifted the cap and stood behind him and took a sip, saying, "You don't seem to like our neighbor very much."

Just as Su Zibo was about to refute, when he heard the words "our neighbor", his heart throbbed inexplicably sweetly, and he swallowed the words, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

After a while, Su Zibo said: "...do you like it?"

"It's okay." Shen Youlan said.

"...I see you like it quite a bit." Su Zibo muttered, "Whoever has nothing to bring someone back for dinner."

Shen Youlan said: "Others come here uninvited, what can I do?"

He took a sip of water: "It's you, how is your manager?"

"Come home today and tell me something about him. Take me 10 minutes to sort out the itinerary, and hand over all the social accounts to him to operate..."

"All of them?" Shen Youlan asked.

"Yeah." Su Zibo said, "He said he had been managing artists before, so there was no problem."

"You have no freedom of speech at all." Shen Youlan said.

"That's fine, let's just do it before the college entrance examination." Su Zibo sighed, "I don't want to worry about anything."

When Shen Youlan returned to the living room, he saw a blank piece of paper on the sofa. He picked it up and looked at it. It was the "schedule" that Su Zibo said.

When Su Zibo came out, he saw him watching, ran over and snatched it: "Why!"

"...Look." Shen Youlan said, "Are you going to start auditioning at the end of June?"

"Ah, um." Su Zibo said.

Shen Youlan lowered her eyes: "You really don't want to go to Hong Kong with me?"

"No." Su Zibo said.

Shen Youlan wanted to be reluctant before, but after living with the other party for so many days, she already knew his temper well.

"Take a good exam." Shen Youlan could only say.

"Got it." Su Zibo said.

……

The day before the pre-sale of the March issue of "Cherry" China officially ended, the enthusiasm of the fans made the magazine officially unlock the shooting highlights, as well as the postcards in the cheering colors of their members, Su Zibo's warm sun and orange words and the cinnabar red Huai Xing's nebula Zi, these postcards will also be printed bonuses for the fans of the shoot, but the current book and the threshold for the members to release special videos are still far away, and most of them may not be reached.

This also made Shen Youlan heave a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Su Zibo would record it for him now, this kid will never let go of what he has decided.

But at least it was much higher than their expected goal, and they announced in advance that they would break through the siege with an absolute advantage in the opening quarterly magazine battle, firmly sitting on the throne of sales champion.

Su Zibo's fan appeal also showed absolute dominance during his retreat, not to mention the solo endorsement he just got and the newly formed management team, who have changed their ways to buy him hot searches these days.Throughout February, Su Zibo did not appear in the public eye once, but the number of days when he was not in the trending search was only five days.

Shen Youlan was very satisfied with the result.

However, before the countdown to the end of the pre-order period, fans suddenly made a wave of effort and frantically bought the number of copies to unlock the special video.

In the conference room, the subtitles of the book on sale are dancing in the live broadcast war room.

"It's here, it's here, shit!" Penny exclaimed.

The whole meeting room was full of cheers.

"Su Zibo will always be a god!!"

"I've never seen so many books!! Is the threshold for ordering too low!"

"There is an account where one person bought nearly 50 magazines..."

Shen Youlan rarely showed a dull and surprised look, looking at the sales level on the screen like this.After excluding the refund, it is actually possible to unlock the special benefits for fans.

In the evening, Shen Youlan contacted Su Zibo's agent, who then contacted Su Zibo, and after going around in circles to Shen Youlan's side, she really gave a negative answer.

"He doesn't really think about it." Li Silu said, "I know you have agreed on the others, but he didn't specifically agree that he must record."

"A lot of fans are sprinting for him." Shen Youlan said, "You also know about this..."

"I understand." Li Silu said, "I'll persuade him again."

"Otherwise, I'll go and talk to him." Shen Youlan said.

"Well...then you go back and talk to him, there is nothing you can do." Li Silu said.

Shen Youlan thought that another agent could persuade Su Zibo, but the result was similar.

He went back at night, bought some snacks and biscuits that Su Zibo liked to eat, and when he returned home, Su Zibo was heating up dinner in the microwave.

"It's for you." Shen Youlan put the things on the kitchen table.

Su Zibo didn't look back, and said, "I know what you're going to say."

"..." Shen Youlan supported the table with his hands, and said, "Then what conditions do you want?"

"Nothing." Su Zibo said, "It is agreed that no other arrangements will be added during the retreat..."

"You also recorded a video for fans, and I just asked you to record a video, which is also a fan benefit." Shen Youlan said, "Did it take you a long time?"

Su Zibo finally turned his head to look at him: "It's true that there is no delay, but I don't like making exceptions."

"You are really brainless." Shen Youlan exhaled helplessly, he was obviously a little impatient, "Is this time-consuming? The 5 minutes I wasted here with you is enough for you to shoot a video."

"I don't want any more exposure." Su Zibo said.

"You had a lot of exposure during your retreat, and you are the only one in the world who wants to have no sense of existence." Shen Yulan said, "Companies and brands are working hard to gain exposure for you, how about you?"

"You treat me like a commodity," Su Zibo said.

Shen Youlan sneered and said: "Interesting, the commodity starts to think that it is not a commodity, but does it mean that it has thoughts?"

"You quarreled with me when you came back from get off work?" Su Zibo took the rice out of the microwave and gave him a cold look, "I thought you were different from them."

"Who? Your agency or someone else? Fans? Then what did they do wrong?" Shen Youlan said, "You have some professional ethics."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Su Zibo said, "You have been bullied around like this since you were 16 years old, and you finally got the time you can control, but you want to control me?..."

"You are not born free in this line of work. I thought you were mentally prepared for this from the first day." Shen Youlan said.

"..." Su Zibo lowered his eyes, biting his lower lip with his teeth.

Shen Youlan walked in, and Su Zibo said, "Are you talking to me about this in the name of work, or in the name of yourself?"

"Is there a difference?" Shen Youlan approached him and asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Su Zibo said.

"Both." Shen Yulan said, "It was my fault for not communicating in advance, and I apologize for that, but this matter is also very important to me."

Su Zibo put the food on the table, and after listening to Shen Youlan's already low-key explanation, he finally let go and said, "I'll talk to Brother Lu."

"..." Shen Youlan knew that he agreed, "...Thank you."

"Yeah." Su Zibo opened a pack of biscuits he bought for him, and said, "It's really not difficult, but I'm just like you said, I'm a brain."

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Youlan: "I can't bring back what I believe to be the Heavenly King."

"I'll make an exception for you, and you will remember it firmly." Su Zibo said.

Shen Youlan sighed: "...OK."
