You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 137: The 137th day of being popular

Zhou Fei wanted to say something more, but he heard Assistant Chen say, "Hold on, let me check with our studio's artists about this situation."

Seeing Assistant Chen already lowering his head to send a message, Manager Zheng's lips curved slightly with a hint of a smile.

Especially when he met Zhou Fei's angry gaze, his mood improved.

After he applied such a remedy, even if Zhou Fei was still kept in the studio, there would definitely be some grudges in his heart.

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

After about half a minute, Assistant Chen glanced at the nervous Zhou Fei.

"I asked her..." Assistant Chen paused for a moment, "She originally thought you were a very talented individual, but she didn't expect that you had done something like this."

"Since that's the case, once you join the company, you'll be directly appointed as the team leader."

Zhou Fei: "...Huh?"

Zhou Fei was dumbfounded.

Do they...want him to be the team leader? Does that mean they're promoting him directly?

Manager Zheng's initially uplifted lips slowly froze, and once he realized what had happened, his face turned ashen.

"Are you... mistaken?" His mind was in chaos, feeling that the worldview he had developed over decades had been completely overturned in just one hour.

Assistant Chen smiled slightly, "Of course not. Our studio greatly appreciates the marketing and public relations skills of Zhou Fei. Mr. Zheng, do you have any other concerns?"

Manager Zheng: "..."

No, this is not logical. This is completely different from what he had imagined.

Is his mind malfunctioning, or has there been a mistake in this world?

In a star studio, they refuse to hire experienced public relations professionals who understand marketing and promotion, but instead, they accept an inexperienced greenhorn that's one thing.

But now, they have learned that this greenhorn has previously exposed scandals about their own artists, yet they remain indifferent and even appreciate him more!

What kind of mindset is this?

Manager Zheng couldn't understand. Could this studio actually hope for their scandals to be exposed?

This is freaking absurd.

If the scandals are exposed, how can it benefit her in any way?

Manager Zheng couldn't comprehend it and felt utterly miserable.

So, the current situation is that after he meddled, not only was Zhou Fei not disqualified from the job, but he also got promoted...

When Manager Zheng met Assistant Chen's calm gaze, he seriously suspected that if he continued talking, Zhou Fei might get a double promotion and become a supervisor right away!

What on earth is going on?

"Fine, whatever," Manager Zheng gritted his teeth. "I don't have anything else to say. I wish you... a bright future."

With a dark expression on his face, he finished speaking and had no desire to stay any longer. He turned around and left.

As he walked away, he maintained a normal pace at first, but as soon as he passed through the glass door, his footsteps quickened as if someone was chasing him.

He finally understood that the people in this studio were simply crazy!

*****

After Manager Zheng left with a dark face, the other rejected candidates also left one after another.

Assistant Chen then discussed salary and benefits with Zhou Fei and the others.

Everything progressed smoothly, and they would officially start their positions next Monday. However, Zhou Fei felt a bit uneasy.

When things settled down, he finally found an opportunity to have a private conversation with Assistant Chen. He cautiously asked, "Brother Chen, are you sure about making me the team leader?"

Why does he feel like this is so unreliable?

It was already shocking enough that this studio wanted him. But after Manager Zheng's words, they actually made him the team leader directly!

Isn't this too casual? After all, considering his work experience and abilities, being a team leader is quite far-fetched.

Assistant Chen said, "You're being modest. Our bossoh, I mean the only star in our studiohighly appreciates your abilities and thinks you are a talented employee. So, she is very confident in handing this responsibility to you."

Three question marks slowly popped up in Zhou Fei's mind.

Strong work ability? Highly talented? What abilities does he even have?

It can't possibly refer to his ability to refuse to whitewash artists and spread scandals everywhere. That would be outrageous.

Zhou Fei scratched his head. "Brother Chen, can I ask who the star in our studio is?"

Before joining, Zhou Fei had already discovered it was a personal studio for a celebrity.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out which celebrity it was.

Originally, Zhou Fei was a bit worried that the celebrity might have a bad reputation, so he probably wouldn't stay.

But now, based on the other party's style of doing things, that possibility was extremely unlikely.

If they dare to hire someone like him as an employee, which scandalous celebrity would dare to do such a thing?

What Zhou Fei is more concerned about now is whether this celebrity is mentally stable.

After all, based on today's series of actions, any person with a somewhat normal mind probably wouldn't do something like this.

However, Assistant Chen did not directly answer this question.

He remembered Yao Bianliang's request for confidentiality and only said to Zhou Fei, "You'll know in another two or three days."

In two or three days, it would be the start of the finals of the "Best Drama Competition."

By then, they should all start moving quickly.

Assistant Chen briefly looked at the schedule. After a few days of recruitment, most of the celebrity team members had already been assembled.

Currently, they only lack a manager and a few supporting actors.

However, according to Yao Bianliang's suggestion, if they didn't have suitable candidates for the manager position temporarily, they could take it slowly. In any case, they should focus on producing the final work.

So, all things considered, they were still in the process of recruiting supporting actors.

In fact, supporting actors were the most difficult to find. A good supporting actor could sometimes elevate the entire drama to a higher level.

But with Yao Bianliang's resources in the entertainment industry, it took a lot of work to find good supporting actors.

Assistant Chen looked at the schedule, lost in thought.

Soon, this newly established celebrity studio should officially start operating. And the finals were about to begin.

It was unknown when they would be able to recruit suitable supporting actors.

"Ding Dong."

The phone rang, and Assistant Chen opened it, only to find it was a message from Yao Bianliang.

As a qualified employee, he couldn't ignore his boss's message. He immediately opened the chat window.

[Yao Bianliang: Assistant Chen, we need to speed up the process of recruiting supporting actors.]

Assistant Chen thought to himself that it was only natural. It seemed that Yao Bianliang had also realized this issue.

However, with their current capabilities, it was challenging to recruit good actors. In times like these, they would have to rely on resources and special channels...

Assistant Chen's thoughts quickly turned, and he soon came up with two or three solutions that were suitable for their current situation.

However, Yao Bianliang's message came again before he could organize his thoughts.

[Yao Bianliang: In your opinion, where can we quickly recruit a few actors with relatively low overall popularity and strength, which seems unlikely to be in a hit drama?]

Assistant Chen: ??

Assistant Chen's thoughts came to a sudden halt.

This description... something seems off.

Could the boss plan to randomly recruit a group of extras to play important supporting roles in the short drama?!
