You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

It's night, and the lights are on.

In the side hall on the first floor of the hotel in the western suburbs, a banquet is being held at this time. Desserts and drinks are filled with long tables, music is playing, and with the fountain in the center, the atmosphere is very cheerful.

"Young Master Lu, I offer you a toast."

"Young Master Lu, long time no see. How are you doing?"

"I heard that the variety show that Young Master Lu invested in recently became popular, congratulations."

Lu Yanchen sat in the upper seat, slowly shaking the red wine glass. He listened to everyone's compliments, his expression was indifferent, a little absent-minded.

Yao Xinxin's dramas are very popular, and Yao Bianliang's works are surprisingly low in broadcast volume. This is something to be happy about.

But now, because of her bad reputation, Yao Xinxin has been unable to cheer up for several days.

This made Lu Yanchen quite worried.

He didn't hide his emotions. Everyone noticed that Lu Yanchen's interest was not very high, and they wisely didn't come here.

The director of the program group finally found an opportunity and came to sit down beside Lu Yanchen.

"Young Master Lu, we have been trying our best to promote Yao Xinxin's short play recently. Up to now, it has been searched more than 30 times." The director rubbed his hands together and smiled.

Lu Yanchen hummed, but didn't mean to speak.

He did make a lot of money this time.

Money comes in very quickly in the entertainment industry, and you can get a huge amount of money if you just hold a fund-raising event. And Lu Yanchen is not only an artist, but also an investor in the program group, the amount of dividends can be said to be very considerable.

But for a person like him, money is already a number, and Lu Yanchen doesn't particularly care about it.

"And this time, according to your instructions, we didn't give Yao Bianliang any heat at all," the director continued, "Up to now, except for the audience and fans of "Good Drama PK Tournament", most of the passers-by don't know that Yao Bianliang Bian Liang’s drama has something to do with our program.”

This is also to prevent variety shows from draining Yao Bianliang's drama.

Hearing this, Lu Yanchen's eyes finally showed some satisfaction.

It is indeed not easy for the program group to achieve this step.

"Well, well done." Lu Yanchen nodded slightly.

In the final analysis, if it wasn't for Yao Bianliang's drama, how could Xinxin be so miserably criticized by netizens.

If he wants to let Yao Bianliang go this time, then he doesn't have to continue being Young Master Lu.

On the other side, several people from the entertainment industry gathered together to discuss this matter.

"In my opinion, Yao Bianliang is really cool this time."

"I offended Young Master Lu, and I don't live up to it, so why don't you become cold?"

"Hey, with the support of He Yanning and Mu Taozhi before, her popularity was once at the top of the list. As a result, she played a good hand of cards so badly. Now, no one cares about her again."

"Who told her to be stubborn and want to act in a realistic drama?"

"Tsk, not only that, she also refuses to promote the short play she filmed at all."

"I reckon that if she continues to operate like this, she will be completely cool within a month."

A few people were chatting excitedly, suddenly, someone caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of their eyes.

The man wasn't quite sure, he closed his eyes and opened them again, and when he realized that he hadn't misunderstood the person, he was shocked immediately.

"Mr. Mo?"

Hearing his suppressed exclamation, several other people immediately looked over.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the person coming.

Mo Youqian, Mr. Mo, the president of Kuiqian Entertainment, a recent rookie in the entertainment industry. And his father's background is even more extraordinary. As a well-known investor in the industry, his net worth is already hundreds of billions.

Mr. Mo and Mr. Lu are in a competitive relationship. According to rumors, the two have always been at odds, so why did they suddenly appear at Mr. Lu's banquet?

The movement here shocked many people, and everyone looked over. Even Lu Yanchen who was sitting in the middle raised his eyes and looked over.

After seeing Mo Youqian, Lu Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

This is the side hall of a five-star hotel, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that a banquet is being held here.

For no reason, what was this man doing at his party? He didn't invite the other party.

Just when Lu Yanchen stood up and was about to take action, Mo You was silent, and finally said, "I'm passing by, can you make room?"

...passing by?

The people standing in front of him looked at each other in confusion, then looked left and right, and after making sure that Mo Youqian was talking to them, they took a half step back cautiously.

"Thank you."

Mo Youqian nodded slightly to express his gratitude to them, then walked through several people calmly and walked to the side door next to him.

The assistant behind him immediately took two steps forward and opened the door for him.

As the side door opened slowly with a "squeak", everyone noticed that the No. 5 elevator was outside the side door.

Take the No. 5 elevator and you can go directly to the hotel room upstairs. This is the shortest distance of all routes.

In fact, generally speaking, when a banquet is held in the side hall, most people will choose to take two extra steps to take the elevator at the next elevator entrance.

However, if guests must choose to take this route, the hotel does not clearly stipulate that it is not allowed.

Everyone: "..."

Lu Yanchen sat back on the sofa silently. This behavior of standing up and sitting down silently made him feel a little stupid.

So, this Mo Yougan came here just to take a shortcut and take the elevator?

Is there something wrong with this person!

…

The assistant followed behind Mo Youqian, silently bowing his head like a quail.

He knew that his president was not in a good mood recently.

Two more artists in the company became popular and made a lot of money. It would be strange if the president was in a better mood.

The assistant still remembers that the president calmly stated in front of his father that he would definitely bankrupt the company, so that the other party should not have any expectations of his son.

He also knows that the CEO said that his dream in this life is to be a salted fish quietly, not a social animal who has to work every day.

However, time has passed and circumstances have changed.

The original oath is still in my ears, but the president earns more and more money, and the company grows bigger and bigger.

Now, it has reached the point where it cannot be controlled.

Therefore, when he heard a few people talking about the female star who had turned cold, he didn't miss the look of envy in the CEO's eyes.

"The celebrity they were talking about just now is called Yao Bianliang?" Mo Yougan asked the assistant beside him as the elevator slowly ascended.

The assistant secretly said that it was true, nodded and said: "That's right."

Mo Youqian nodded slightly, feeling a little more melancholy in his heart.

It's a nice name, and it seems auspicious.

Why is it that other artists can easily lose popularity, but the artists in his company, no matter how they operate, are more popular than each other?

In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought of a way over the years.

Once the artist became popular, he immediately terminated the contract and let him go, recruiting other 18th-line artists. But these seemingly innocuous eighteenth-line artists can still follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and gradually become popular.

This cycle is repeated, until now, his company seems to have become an artist training center.

When I joined the company, everyone was 18-line small and transparent. When leaving the company, all of them are hot and star-studded!

Later, I don't know who spread the rumor that Kuiqian Entertainment is a treasured place of geomantic omen. As long as you can enter this company, your future is bound to be limitless.

This has led to many high-quality artists desperately wanting to join the company, which is simply a vicious circle.

Mo Youqian felt a little regretful. Why didn't he recruit Yao Bianliang into his company at the beginning, and missed an opportunity for nothing.

But now that I know it, it's not too late.

Mo Youqian became more and more moved: "What do you think, if I invite her to act in a new drama prepared by the company?"

The assistant was stunned: "This...you mean the play directed by Hua?"

Mo Youqian nodded.

After listening to Yao Bianliang's deeds, he felt that this outstanding female star should be very compatible with his philosophy.

No marketing, no hype, how good it is. And most importantly, she has successfully cooled down now.

What Mo Youqian lacks the most right now is the experience of becoming cool.

Maybe, he can learn a lot of ways to cool down from her, and maybe even get other inspirations.

"You should ask someone to contact her later, and ask her if she has..." Mo You paused, and finally changed his mind, "Forget it, I will contact her personally later."

Seeing Mo Youqian's appearance, the assistant could guess the president's intentions.

Is this to learn from Yao Bianliang?

Yao Bianliang loves his job and is dedicated to his work. He doesn't seek fame and fortune, and he doesn't fear power. Can this be compared with a salted fish that wants to lie flat?

The assistant couldn't help complaining secretly. Of course, he would never dare to say such outrageous words.

With a soft "ding", the elevator finally reached the top floor, and the door slowly opened.

When the two got off the elevator, Mo Youqian touched his chin with his finger, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "By the way, you remember to report Lu Yanchen later."

The assistant was taken aback: "Huh?"

Report Lu Yanchen of the Lu Group?

This topic jumped a bit quickly, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

Could it be that the president finally couldn't see it, and decided to kill this scum who likes to bully others, play tricks, and has no bottom line!

But...they don't have any evidence in their hands.

No, not necessarily without evidence. Several entertainment companies under the Lu Group have long been in a mess and unsightly. If you really want to investigate, it shouldn't be difficult.

Maybe the president has collected enough evidence to uproot the Lu Corporation and wipe it out.

The assistant's heart was surging for a moment, and he carefully asked: "President, how do you plan to report the Lu family? This, such a big move, should we discuss it in private first."

Mo Youqian turned his head and looked at him for a while with an indescribably strange gaze.

He paused, and finally said: "I mean, call the Epidemic Prevention Office."

assistant:? ?

Mo Youqian pointed to the direction downstairs, and said calmly: "During the epidemic, no gatherings are allowed."

assistant:"…"

The assistant was silent, and finally replied in embarrassment: "Understood."

It was because he was thinking too much, his own president was even willing to pass by Lu Yanchen's banquet in order to save two steps. How could such a salty person take the initiative to kill others?

———

the other side.

In a hot spring park.

Yao Bianliang and Yu Yiqing are enjoying a hot spring bath at this time.

Yu Yiqing soaked in the pool, squinting her eyes comfortably: "Sister Liang, have you been invited to any new drama recently?"

"It seems not." Yao Bianliang shook his head.

Yu Yiqing was worried: "Could it be because those guys are suppressing you? Otherwise, with your ability and enthusiasm, even if the number of broadcasts of the final works is low, you won't even have a script invitation."

Indeed, even the supporting actors in the crew have new scripts, but no one cares about her here.

Yao Bianliang would not believe it if no one interfered with it.

However, she doesn't care.

Anyway, she is ready to quit the circle, does it matter if those people suppress her? It has no effect at all.

Yu Yiqing suggested: "Why don't you find an agent as soon as possible? With an agent, maybe the situation can be improved a lot."

Although Assistant Chen is very capable, he is not a professional, nor can he be a manager.

Yu Yiqing's worry was very reasonable, but Yao Bianliang just shrugged his shoulders: "We'll see when the time comes, and we're not in a hurry to recruit people right now."

Yao Bianliang's original intention was that he was about to quit the circle soon, and he didn't need to hire a manager.

But Yu Yiqing obviously misunderstood the meaning.

She suddenly said: "That's right, now is the epidemic period, and it is more difficult to recruit people."

Speaking of this, Yu Yiqing couldn't help feeling worried: "Oh, it's been a week, and I don't know when this epidemic will pass."

"I saw on the news yesterday that medical staff from many areas have set off en masse to help H City."

"The situation this time is really serious, and I hope to get better soon."

Yao Bianliang nodded, and also sighed: "Yes, I really hope this epidemic can pass quickly."

Because of the epidemic, people across the country have not been able to live a good year this time.

Yao Bianliang also hopes that the order can return to normal soon.

She changed her posture and continued soaking, picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate and threw it into her mouth.

The sweet juice diffused, Yao Bianliang stared at the ceiling in silence for a while, suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind quickly.

Wait, there seems to be something wrong with what Yu Yiqing said just now...

Thoughts flashed too fast and were not real, Yao Bianliang couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

She sat up straight, turned her head to look at Yu Yiqing who was on the side: "Yiqing, what did you just say?"

"Ah?" Yu Yiqing was stunned for a moment, "I said, I hope the epidemic will get better soon?"

Yao Bianliang frowned and shook his head slowly: "It's not this sentence."

Yu Yiqing recalled: "I also said that this time the situation is more serious."

"No, that's not it either."

Yu Yiqing looked at Yao Bianliang in a little confusion: "Uh...that is, the medical staff from many areas set off collectively to help in City H?"

Hearing these words, Yao Bianliang was silent for a moment, and his face finally changed slowly.

Well, paramedics, set out en masse to help...

This plot is too familiar, isn't it very similar to her short play?

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Yao Bianliang squeezed the strawberry hard with his hand, which made Yu Yiqing beside him startled.

"Sister Liang, you... calm down, what happened?" Yu Yiqing scratched her head and asked.

Yao Bianliang was a little skeptical about life, and finally leaned against the edge of the pool, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Yeah, how could she ignore such an important factor.

With the epidemic coming, medical staff undoubtedly need to take on heavy responsibilities, which means that film and television works on medical staff are easy to attract attention.

And she, with thousands of choices, just chose such a subject.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

What kind of human suffering is this?
