You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Hearing these words, Yao Bianliang was stunned.

What the hell, is she on fire?

This is impossible!

The plot of the short drama is boring, the protagonist's appearance is worrying, there is no traffic, no sailors, how can this become popular!

At this moment, Yao Bianliang even suspected that Yu Yiqing was joking with him.

Yu Yiqing: "Sister Liang, take a look at the content I forwarded to you. I knew that you, with your good acting skills and good looks, will definitely become popular!"

Yao Bianliang: "...Okay, I'll go and have a look."

With an unbelievable mood, Yao Bianliang hung up the call heavily.

"No, there must be something wrong..."

She took a deep breath, thought about it, and clicked on the official website of "Good Drama PK Competition".

Her fingers were used to scrolling down the page, but when she saw the familiar title of the play, she stopped.

"This show actually rushed to TOP6?!"

Yao Bianliang's eyes widened suddenly.

You know, all members of their show are on the 18th line, and there are no fans to vote for them.

In other words, these votes are not piled up with money, but the actual number of people.

Calculated in this way, it can be ranked in TOP6, such a result is already quite scary.

Moreover, the number of votes is still rising, and there is a faint tendency to rush to the top three of the TOP.

Yao Bianliang clicked on the skit, and the video played automatically. She read the content of the comment area at a glance.

【Hey, if I could work as hard as the heroine back then, maybe I wouldn't have any regrets】

[Wooooow, I finally got the admission notice, it's not easy]

[In this world, how can there be so many people falling in love with gods and goddesses, most of them are just ordinary people]

[Thank you director, thank you actors of this drama

This is the youth in my mind, thank you for capturing the youth of ordinary people]

Below these short comments, there are occasionally a few long comments mixed in.

These people gave detailed explanations from the short play's conception, shooting techniques, and expression forms to the actors' acting skills and performance details.

Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence -

This is an excellent short play that is well-produced, full of sincerity, and can arouse resonance and reflection!

Yao Bianliang looked dumbfounded.

"No, what do you mean? Isn't this supposed to be a short play that is boring and has no selling point?"

Yao Bianliang felt that the knowledge in his head was useless.

Before she participated in this drama, everyone told her that there would be no market for this kind of school drama that does not fall in love, and it would definitely hit the street.

She believed it, so she acted as the heroine.

— and the show took off.

There is something wrong!

Yao Bianliang browsed the comment area for a long time, and finally found some discussions about love elements.

[After watching the show, it's pretty good, but where is the hero? 】

[Male lead? Is there a male lead in this show?]

[Tsk, I've noticed that bullying male **** from the very beginning, and thought that this male protagonist is my favorite;

As a result, until the end of the skit, he never appeared again! 】

At this time, the plot just progressed until the admission notice was received.

The bullet screen quickly passed by, and a few viewers were asking about the hero's situation; more audiences sent congratulatory messages to the heroine.

Immediately after...

A notice board with the words "Excellent Student List" flashed away.

[Sisters, come out! The hero is out]

[On the list of outstanding students admitted to the 985 University, there is the male lead's name]

[Woohoo, I didn't expect the male lead to have a part in the show, I'm so touched]

[The male protagonist can actually appear at the end, and even has a name! Everyone, hit the "tears" on the public screen]

【Hahahaha, are the sisters in front trying to laugh at me to death】

[I just like this kind of plot, why does the campus heroine have to fall in love?

My Liangliang is so unique and beautiful! 】

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Good guy, it's fine for these people to praise this show, why should they praise her as the heroine?

Moreover, looking at this posture, she, this 18th-line little transparent, actually has fans.

Under this comment, everyone is hahaha.

But Yao Bianliang couldn't laugh at all, she almost cried.

"Oops, this is really bad."

Yao Bianliang took a deep breath, and logged into his large Weibo with the last hope.

After the phone jingled for a while, she finally got on board.

The situation that caught her eyes made her eyes go black—

180,000 followers on Weibo!

Moreover, this number is still rising rapidly.

Yao Bianliang doubted that at this rate, she would not only pass the primary election smoothly, but also squeeze into the top of the personal voting list.

She scrolled down her Weibo.

Her latest Weibo post is a still photo of her wearing dark glasses, freckles, and a rigid pixie cut.

The originally super-high appearance has become ordinary after this dress up.

Yao Bianliang liked this still photo so much that he even used it as his Weibo avatar.

Unexpectedly, up to now, netizens have expressed their love for this photo.

【Haha, little freckles are really cute】

[Is this the actress who plays Zhang Xiaozhi? Her name is Yao Bianliang, which sounds pretty nice.]

【coming! I am impressed by my sister's acting skills, she is really strong]

[In all fairness, this kind of appearance is indeed very ordinary, but with the blessing of the character's charm, I fell in love with it instantly]

[This drama is about the youth of ordinary people. If the protagonist is too beautiful, it will not meet the original intention.

The appearance of Yao Bianliang can be said to be just right]

…

Not only that, Yao Bianliang also saw a few people calling her wife.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

It's outrageous.

Just before she fell asleep last night, everything was still so normal.

As a result, when he woke up, the situation completely changed.

Their group has no money for promotion, let alone drainage, Yao Bianliang would not believe that all these people are from tap water.

She followed the IDs of these people, checked their follow lists, and finally found the original Weibo.

"'Brother Feng said film and television'... So, our group was flopped by the big V?"

Yao Bianliang finally understood what was going on.

Last night, this up host named Brother Feng was broadcasting live, and happened to watch their group's short play.

The response in the live broadcast room was enthusiastic. After that, many people spontaneously voted and promoted for their group, which made the short drama more popular.

Now, more and more people have seen the short plays of their group, forming a virtuous circle, and the short plays naturally exploded.

Yao Bianliang twitched the corners of his mouth, a little speechless.

Well done, a big up master, why did they live broadcast the short drama made by their 18th line group!

This is all right, the skit is on fire. As the heroine of the short play, she naturally became popular.

"However, having said that..."

"Even without this big up recommendation, it will only be a matter of time before this short drama becomes popular."

Yao Bianliang muttered to himself.

After the initial shock, she also figured it out.

The recommendation of up master Feng Ge only accelerated the process of the short drama becoming popular, but did not play a decisive role.

The reason why the short play can resonate with tens of millions of viewers is still relying on its own strength, rather than the words of a certain up owner.

Thinking of this, Yao Bianliang couldn't figure it out even more.

"It shouldn't be. Since the audience thinks that this drama is well-produced and its quality beats other short dramas, why didn't it become popular in the original novel?"

She remembers clearly that at this time, Yao Xinxin's "Youth Is Sweet with You" should be the most popular on the Internet at this time, not "To Our Youth".

After this battle, director Cheng Liuhui was even eliminated.

But now, not only has Cheng Liuhui not been eliminated, but he has turned himself over in one fell swoop with this drama, from a small director who no one cares about to a hot rookie.

"Something's wrong, I must have missed some variable..."

Yao Bianliang thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply opened the chat interface with Cheng Liuhui.

Among her 99+ unread messages, many are from Cheng Liuhui, all talking about the explosion of the new drama.

Yao Bianliang skipped the previous news, and directly typed to inquire.

"Brother Hui, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a long time."

"What would you have done if I hadn't joined your team?"

After the message was sent, Yao Bianliang did not expect Cheng Liuhui to reply immediately.

After all, the popularity of the new drama is on the rise. As the director of this drama, Cheng Liuhui must have received more congratulations than her.

It's just that Cheng Liuhui replied to her as soon as the news was sent out.

Cheng Liuhui: "You're finally willing to read the news! Our new drama is popular, and it's really thanks to your joining. Thank you, Liangliang."

Seeing Cheng Liuhui's reply in seconds, Yao Bianliang reasonably suspected that this person was waiting for news from her.

Cheng Liuhui continued: "If you hadn't joined my team at the beginning... I think, I would probably revise the script."

Yao Bianliang was slightly startled: "What?"

Modify the script?

That's right, Cheng Liuhui did say this when the two first met.

Cheng Liuhui: ""To Our Youth" doesn't fit the mainstream market. Moreover, the leading actors need to wear ugly makeup. No contestant is willing to act in it at all."

"To be honest, before you contacted me, I already wanted to give up. I planned to increase the role of the male protagonist and change the script into a sweet campus drama."

Speaking of this, Cheng Liuhui also felt a lot of emotion.

"If you hadn't joined, "To Our Youth" might have changed beyond recognition, and in the end, it would have become a popular youth drama."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

It turned out that the problem was here!

At this moment, Yao Bianliang finally figured it out.

Without her, Cheng Liuhui would most likely change the main line of the script. These changes completely violated the original intention of the director, and the effect of the shooting will definitely not be good.

So in the end, "To Our Youth" didn't make any splashes, and Cheng Liuhui was sadly out.

"So in the end, I still have to rely on me?" Yao Bianliang wanted to cry but had no tears.

In order to cool down, she joined the No. 10 group.

As a result, the No. 10 group became popular because of her joining.

What is this all about!

Yao Bianliang choked speechlessly, staring blankly at Cheng Liuhui's words of thanks to him, he was in a bad mood.

She was really blind at the beginning to think that Cheng Liuhui was a love director in a dream.

Where is this guy out of his mind? He is clearly a genius!

"Oh, forget it..." Yao Bianliang leaned on the back of the chair resignedly.

It seems that this time, her heat is unlikely to cool down.

She must now find a way to minimize the impact as much as possible.

...

"What did you say? Yao Bianliang's heat can't be suppressed anymore?"

When Yao Xinxin heard the news, she was shocked.

She had just finished filming the announcement and returned home, ready to enjoy a short leisure time.

Suddenly receiving a call from the assistant, Yao Xinxin frowned slightly, subconsciously not believing it.

"Sister Xin, after our reasoning during this period of time, the relationship between you and Yao Bianliang has not been exposed, it has only spread in a small area for a while," the assistant sighed, "However, the popularity of Yao Bianliang, we are I really can't hold back."

"Yao Bianliang is only an 18-line drama, and the drama produced by the 10th group is a bad drama," Yao Xinxin said, "It's just to suppress the heat. What's the problem with such a trivial matter?"

The assistant looked embarrassed, hesitating: "Sister Xin, you may not know something..."

"The skit in Group 10 has already exploded."
