You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 150: The 150th day of being popular

With the director's call of "Cut," the final shot was also completed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to applaud, and some staff members quietly cheered.

A smile appeared on Yao Bianliang's face. "Everyone has worked hard. After this drama is released, I'll treat you all to a good meal!"

Her acting state today is perfect, mainly because her current state of mind is similar to that of the female lead in the drama.

Having bid farewell to the oppressive plot and starting a new journeyIsn't this herself?

She casually found a chair to sit down, and Yao Bianliang was in a happy mood. She briefly glanced at the messages on her phone.

She has experienced too many hardships and setbacks along the way. She has worked hard yet has always been in the spotlight and has never gotten cold!

But now, judging by the current situation, she is finally going to successfully be cold.

It can be said that she has finally seen the light after enduring the rain.

With a relaxed mood, Yao Bianliang opened the official account of the "Good Drama PK Competition." As expected, the production team had already issued an official announcement.

Official Announcement from the "Good Drama PK Competition" Production Team

To all audiences:

After several days of shooting, the live shooting phase has finally come to a perfect end.

"Song of He Huan," "Perfect Executor"... and "Light and Darkness," a total of 8 works, will be released on the official platform after post-production.

The voting channel is about to open, and the viewing channel is about to open

The final PK is officially beginning!

The short dramas are produced during the filming and post-production process, so it didn't take long for all the works of the "Good Drama PK Competition" to be officially released.

In Yao's villa, Yao Xinxin returned to her luxurious room that belonged to her. Now, she had someone serving her three meals a day and didn't have to wake up early and stay up late like during the program recording.

However, her mood did not improve much; instead, it worsened.

Whenever she opened her phone, she was greeted with a barrage of insults.

Mindless sweet drama, it's a disgrace to a doctor profession, really ugly.

Daily question: Did Yao Xinxin cold today?

Actually, Yao Xinxin isn't that bad, but considering her ability, she probably can only act in these brainless dramas in the future.

Well, dramas with depth require acting skills. Does Yao Xinxin have any? Dog head . jpg

Why hasn't Yao Xinxin retired from the entertainment industry? I'm annoyed just seeing her now.

The plot of this drama is okay, but having Yao Xinxin as the female lead makes me feel disgusted.

******

"Damn it, a bunch of mindless haters..." Yao Xinxin couldn't help but want to throw her phone when she saw these comments.

As the popularity increased, various types of comments naturally increased as well.

She knew reading these comments would be painful, but she couldn't help but look at them. It was like self-torture.

In fact, the evaluations of this drama were mixed.

Some people thought it was enjoyable to watch without thinking, but others felt that the drama's plot was outrageous, and Yao Xinxin, as the female lead, naturally bore the brunt of the criticism.

She originally planned to turn things around with this drama, but now the possibility of a comeback seemed extremely slim.

"Click." The sound of the door being gently pushed open, and Yao's mother walked in carrying a fruit plate.

Yao Xinxin was taken aback. "Mom, why are you here?"

"I cut a plate of fruit for you," Yao's mother said with a smile. "I heard that the viewership of your drama is skyrocketing this time, and it's even close to breaking records. Many sponsors are looking for you for endorsements."

Yao's mother had been in a good mood lately.

Yao Xinxin's drama had high viewership. Although it received mixed reviews, it had become popular after all.

She purposely went to watch Yao Bianliang's drama. Although the comments section was filled with positive reviews, the view count was pitifully low, and few people showed interest.

The difference between the two was like night and day.

With this in mind, Yao's mother looked at her daughter satisfactorily. "Xinxin, you've done well this time."

Indeed, Yao Xinxin was the most reliable one. She was stronger than Yao Bianliang. Yao's mother could say she hadn't raised her daughter in vain.

Yao Xinxin bit her lip but didn't say anything.

Indeed, the drama's view count and data were decent. The cast, screenwriter, and director were all top-notch, with a luxurious setup. The production team made daily headlines, making it difficult not to become popular.

However, she hoped for an improvement in her reputation, not the current situation!

Yao's mother noticed that Yao Xinxin seemed a bit off and was slightly puzzled. "Xinxin, what's wrong? You look unhappy."

Yao Xinxin replied, "Mom, you don't know... the things those people online are saying are so hurtful."

When people are vulnerable, they always seek comfort from the person closest to them.

Yao's mother, however, didn't think it was a big deal.

Being a celebrity, who doesn't receive criticism? When she entered this industry, she should have been prepared for criticism.

As long as she can make money and have popularity and influence, nothing else matters.

She said, "Xinxin, don't overthink it. Every celebrity has haters online. You don't need to pay attention to those internet trolls."

Yao Xinxin felt uncomfortable and exclaimed, "Mom."

"Those internet users can engage in personal attacks and even manipulate photos. They say all sorts of nasty things..." She paused and continued, "Lately, I don't want to participate in those marketing activities. I just want to stay at home and rest."

Yao's mother furrowed her brow upon hearing this, feeling that Yao Xinxin was being a bit dramatic.

Being the mother of a daughter in the entertainment industry, she naturally paid attention to the related public opinion. At first, when she saw everyone promoting the Yao Bianliang group and criticizing the Yao Xinxin group, she was genuinely worried.

However, later on, the direction of public opinion gradually began to change, and many people started supporting Yao Xinxin in this brainless sweet drama.

Since there is popularity, it's just a matter of receiving some criticism. What's the big deal?

Yao's mother spoke with emphasis and concern, "Xinxin, if those comments make you uncomfortable, then why don't you stop reading them? Besides, you have many fans who support you."

"Now that you have popularity, of course, you should focus more on marketing. It's a matter of prioritizing the essential over the trivial to give up going online and marketing for such a small issue."

"But..." Yao Xinxin was about to say something else, but Yao's mother interrupted her sternly.

Yao's mother said, "Xinxin, your father and I have provided you with so many resources to support you. We hope you can do better. You are much stronger than Yao Bianliang, so you should work hard and not waste your own talent."

Yao Xinxin bit her lip and remained silent.

Whenever she heard Yao's mother mention Yao Bianliang, she would feel a bit anxious, fearing that the Yao family would again one day choose Yao Bianliang.

Although the possibility was slim, if Yao Bianliang surpassed her, it could truly threaten her position.

"Also, aren't you close to that Mr. Lu? You can try to interact with him more. I think that young man is quite good," Yao's mother smiled and continued, "You can ask him for help, to help you improve your reputation. The Lu family has a big business, and it should be very easy for them to help you improve your image."

Yao Xinxin opened her mouth, wanting to say that she and Lu Yanchen were only friends, but the words didn't come out in the end.

Forget it. She didn't know where Yao's mother would take this topic if she continued the conversation.

"Okay, okay, I understand," Yao Xinxin took the fruit plate from her mother, and slammed it hard on the table, as if venting her frustration.

Yao's mother looked at her helplessly and said compassionately, "Then rest early. I'll leave first."

"...Okay."

Yao's mother left the room and gently closed the door.

Yao Xinxin curled up alone on the bed, unable to help the thoughts of those online haters from involuntarily surfacing in her mind.

She sniffled and suddenly felt very upset. She grabbed a pillow and fiercely threw it to the ground.

*****

On the other side, Yao Bianliang was also dragging her luggage, preparing to move to a new environment and start a new life.

Chen, her assistant, had already taken care of all the procedures. She just needed to pack her things and move into her new home.

"Long-ge, did you also receive the invitation?" Not far away, there was excited chatter from Xiao Hu and the others. "This is a big production. Congratulations, congratulations!"

After the filming was finished, several supporting actors received olive branches from entertainment companies and invitations from directors and production teams.

After all, everyone could see their acting skills, and now with exposure, new opportunities naturally arose.

Facing the current situation, everyone felt delighted.

Unfortunately, the view count of the short drama was not high, which made everyone feel a sense of regret amid their joy.

"Oh? Teacher Yao is here," Xiao Hu, with sharp eyes, was the first to notice Yao Bianliang and immediately waved at her.

The others also turned their heads and saw Yao Bianliang carrying a lot of luggage. They quickly went over to help.

"Teacher Yao, are you ready to leave?"

Yao Bianliang nodded. The view count of the short drama had been consistently low, but it didn't dampen her mood. The smile on her face never disappeared.

Her gaze shifted to Long-ge (Brother Long). "Did you receive a new script? Congratulations."

Long-ge felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and chuckled. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Teacher Yao. If it weren't for you giving me this precious opportunity, I would never have had the resources I have now."

Yao Bianliang fell silent for a moment. "You achieved this based on your own talent. It has nothing to do with me."

In all honesty, from the beginning, she thought they weren't strong enough, which was why she chose this group of people.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have made that choice!

But Long Guoqing clearly misunderstood her meaning.

He seemed a bit moved by her words and sincerely added, "I will work hard in acting from now on and never let down the hope you have for me."

Yao Bianliang remained silent.

In reality, there's no need to continue trying. You have long disappointed my expectations of you!
