You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Chapter 151: The 151st day of being popular

You know, these extras were carefully selected by her, but in the end, their acting skills were comparable to those supporting actors Yao Xinxin hired.

Sometimes, Yao Bianliang didn't know whether to blame Yao Xinxin's supporting actors for being incompetent or blame these extras for being too strong.

Fortunately, even though these few people had outstanding acting skills, they couldn't overcome the fact that the production's subject matter was not good.

The view count is still pitifully low, which is considered fortunate in an unfortunate situation.

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Yao, you must have received a lot of invitations, right?" Xiao Hu asked. "Are there any new dramas you're preparing to film?"

Yao Bianliang shook her head. "No, I plan to take a break for two months."

In fact, she specifically checked her email and received very few invitations. It could even be said that she received very few.

Most of the invitations came from small production teams, and as for the more reputable directors or teams, they didn't pay any attention to her from beginning to end.

Yao Bianliang also didn't know whether it was because her short drama had such low view counts that it wasn't worth considering or if there were other reasons, like someone suppressing her.

But these things didn't matter.

In any case, it would be soon that she could successfully retire from the entertainment industry and enjoy life!

The others also realized something and slightly restrained their smiles.

Indeed, for them, being extras in this drama was a fantastic opportunity, allowing them to use it as a stepping stone to become well-known actors.

But for Yao Bianliang, it was an entirely different story.

The view count of this drama was too low, to the point where it couldn't compete with popular dramas like the one Yao Xinxin starred in.

Even if the positive reviews were high, it had no commercial value as long as there weren't many viewers. In the eyes of investors and some directors, it was a "failed" work.

So, Yao Bianliang's current popularity was undoubtedly much lower.

Thinking about this, Xiao Hu couldn't help but cautiously glance at Yao Bianliang's expression.

Then he noticed that the smile on the corner of Yao Bianliang's lips became increasingly apparent. It seemed like she was thinking of something joyful. She exuded vitality, and her eyes were filled with hope and anticipation for the future.

There was no trace of being discouraged.

Xiao Hu: "..."

Xiao Hu couldn't help but admire her.

Could this be the legendary unchanging composure even in the face of Mount Tai collapsing?

Perhaps Teacher Yao had already guessed that the view count of this drama would be very low.

Maybe for her, as long as she received positive feedback from the audience and completed satisfactory work, it was already enough. Whether the view count was high or low was actually not important.

Realizing that her smile was a bit excessive, Yao Bianliang cleared her throat and restrained her facial expression.

"Well then, everyone, I'll go ahead." She waved to the others, dragged her suitcase, and walked toward the specialized car that came to pick her up.

Xiao Hu and the others stood in place, watching Yao Bianliang's departing figure, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her.

In today's entertainment industry, someone who doesn't care about popularity and hot trends like she does is probably as rare as a phoenix's feather and a unicorn's horn!

"Long Ge, do you think we should do something for Teacher Yao?" Xiao Hu asked in a low voice.

Long Guoqing scratched his head and sighed somewhat dejectedly, "We're just small actors who have gained a bit of fame. What ability do we have to help Teacher Yao?"

Perhaps, only when they grow up even more can they truly repay Yao Bianliang for her recognition and kindness.

Yao Bianliang, who had already boarded the car, was unaware of the thoughts of the others.

In her eyes, she had no connection with this group of talented extras. Whether it was now or in the future, she would never collaborate with these people again.

Actors with such excellent skills should go and cause trouble for other production teams.

With this thought in mind, Yao Bianliang closed the car window and lowered her head to check the message sent by Zhou Fei.

With the official release of the short drama now, the marketing and PR personnel were busy.

Although Zhou Fei and the others didn't need to help with promotion, they still needed to monitor public opinion and handle various unforeseen situations in a timely manner. They weren't idle either.

And today, Zhou Fei came to her for a consultation.

Zhou Fei said, "Liang Jie, although you have repeatedly emphasized that we don't need to promote this drama and haven't allocated any publicity funds to us, a few of us still feel that we should repost a Weibo and share some updates. That way, it can be considered as giving an explanation to the fans. What do you think?"

Yao Bianliang looked at the message and pondered slightly.

Indeed, she could get away with not doing any promotion by claiming insufficient funds, but if they didn't even post a Weibo update, it would be too obvious, and it wouldn't make sense logically.

Moreover, since she rarely posted on Weibo, her account was already growing weeds, and fans left messages underneath every day, urging her to actively manage her Weibo.

Anyway, most of her fans already knew about the finale project she was filming, so even without posting on Weibo, she couldn't hide it. There was no need to conceal it further.

Thinking this through, Yao Bianliang said, "Okay. Have you thought about the content for the Weibo promotion?"

Zhou Fei was obviously prepared and immediately replied, "Yes. We briefly discussed it, and the Weibo promotion will revolve around the theme of this drama. What do you think?"

Yao Bianliang's lips curled up slightly.

Not bad, this young man is quite capable.

If they didn't focus on the theme and instead wrote something like "Yao Bianliang's latest masterpiece" to build hype around her as the lead actress, wouldn't that be troublesome?

If the public only watched the drama because of her name and the view count increased as a result, then it wouldn't be good.

Yao Bianliang nodded satisfactorily and said, "Okay, let's go with your ideas."

Yao Bianliang was very confident in Zhou Fei.

He was inexperienced and lacked marketing knowledge. That's why she personally recruited him and appointed him as the team leader.

If it were someone like Manager Zheng, they would definitely suggest promoting it around the gimmick of "starring Yao Bianliang." Some might even suggest riding on the popularity of Yao Xinxin and creating some controversy.

But Zhou Fei was utterly different.

Not only did he not think of these tricks, but he also actively proposed promoting it based on the theme of the work!

Look, this is what a reliable employee should be like.

Thinking of this, Yao Bianliang casually added, "By the way, I contacted the content creator Feng Shiyuan last time and asked him to make a promotional video focused on criticism. I'll send you his contact information later so you can coordinate with him."

Zhou Fei replied, "Understood, I'll make sure the task is completed."

He paused for a moment and sent another message, "Liang Jie, should we make the two promotion plans work together?"

Yao Bianliang was surprised, "Of course not! Let Feng Shiyuan handle it himself. Don't have any interaction with him."

Come on, creating a collaborative promotion would be like eagerly giving away attention.

After sending the message, she still felt a bit uneasy and continued, "Feng Shiyuan can delay it if necessary. Even if the video is released after the finale, it's okay."

"Also, don't put too much effort into the Weibo promotion. Just come up with something simple around the theme of our drama. It's best to keep it short."

Zhou Fei pondered for two seconds on the other end of the internet connection.

It seemed that Liang Jie also strongly supported his idea to promote around the theme of "respect for medical workers."

Moreover, according to Liang Jie's suggestion, the promotion needed to be concise and powerful. The fewer words, the better to convey their core ideas and make it clear at a glance!

With this in mind, Zhou Fei felt he understood Yao Bianliang's intention.

He solemnly said, "Okay, Liang Jie, I understand."

When Yao Bianliang saw this message, she breathed a sigh of relief and casually put down her phone, feeling relaxed.
