You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular - Chapter 126
◎In the next few days, for Hudi Entertainment and the “Actor Training Camp” program group, things did not go well◎
In the next few days, things did not go smoothly for Hudi Entertainment and the “Actor Training Camp” program group.
First, the original prop manufacturer temporarily broke the contract, preferring to pay liquidated damages rather than continue to provide them with goods; then, the agreed venue was also changed, and the venue was occupied by other activities.
To make matters worse, several online platforms were obviously scrambling to sign the variety show “Actors Training Camp”, and they did not hesitate to charge high prices for this.
However, overnight, several platforms seemed to have changed their minds in an instant. Not only did they no longer take the initiative to contact them, even if the studio took the initiative to call them, the other party just made various excuses.
After a few days, everyone hit a wall everywhere and couldn’t help feeling a little discouraged.
“What’s going on recently, Sister Liang, has the Mercury retrograde these two days?” In Yao Bianliang’s office, Yu Yiqing was sitting on the sofa, scratching her hair anxiously.
After Yao Bianliang’s studio began to recruit artists, she certainly didn’t forget her good sister, and invited Yu Yiqing to join the studio on the first day.
Therefore, apart from occasionally going out to participate in activities these days, Yu Yiqing stayed in the office with Yao Bianliang, helping her think of ideas and suggestions, and occasionally helping her with other artists.
“”Actors Training Camp” will be released in a few days, and we have not even decided on a video platform,” Yu Yiqing was worried. “If this continues, won’t our variety show go cold before it airs?”
The originally established partners ran away one after another, and the new partners could not be contacted.
For a moment, Yu Yiqing even had the illusion that they were being targeted by the whole world.
Assistant Chen stood by, pushed his glasses, and said expressionlessly, “I’m afraid someone is targeting us.”
The matter has developed to this point, Assistant Chen is someone who has worked in this circle for more than ten years, so of course he can see the problem.
One thing can also be said to be a coincidence. But if so many things happen together, it is definitely not a coincidence.
Yu Yiqing pondered for a while, then took a deep breath: “You mean… these things are not coincidences, but there are black hands behind the scenes manipulating the overall situation?”
Are you crazy?
So many big factories and so many high-profile and high-reputation platforms all turned their backs overnight.
How terrifying the people behind it are, it is possible to do this.
“Impossible.” Yu Yiqing was a little bit unconvinced, “Even the Lu Group may not be able to do this.”
She paused, then turned to look at Yao Bianliang: “Sister Liang, what do you think?”
Yao Bianliang, however, sat on the boss’s chair, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “A single Lu Group must not have such strength. However, if the Lu Group unites all parties to act together, it may not be so.”
Yu Yiqing: “…”
This seems to be the only explanation.
Although the Lu Corporation has a large family and a great business, it is impossible for all the manufacturers in the country to obey his orders.
Moreover, there are only four large-scale video website platforms in China, and all of them have strong capital support behind them.
Even if Mr. Lu can influence the decisions of some small factories, it is absolutely impossible for the four video platforms to stand on his side.
Therefore, there is only the last possibility left – a large part of the capital groups headed by the Lu Group formed an alliance.
Together they want to impose sanctions and suppress Yao Bianliang.
“So, your current enemy is not only the Lu Group, but also the entire entertainment circle?” Yu Yiqing opened his mouth, and he was shocked.
Should she say something, Sister Liang is worthy of being Sister Liang, and she just plays big as soon as she comes up.
Are you really not worried about playing off?
Yao Bianliang patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “Strictly speaking, it’s not the entire entertainment circle, there are still a small number of people who choose to watch with a cold eye.”
“Besides, we have a cooperative relationship with Kuiqian Entertainment, so it’s not like everyone is an enemy.”
Yu Yiqing: “…”
But the difference doesn’t seem to be that big.
Yu Yiqing moved her lips, her mind turned quickly, and she quickly figured it out.
With so many capitals joining forces to target them, it means that Yao Bianliang has already touched the bottom line of these people.
For example, breaking the rules of the industry and revealing the shady inside the industry, these things will undoubtedly become the fuse of the ban.
Yao Bianliang is the initiator of this incident, and he is still an ordinary person without a powerful background, so he will definitely become a living target.
If you want a powerless star to be withdrawn from the circle, or even ruined, capital will always have a way to do it.
“Sister Liang…” Yu Yiqing took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and finally said slowly, “Or, let’s stop…don’t put yourself in it.”
Don’t say that their current situation is difficult and frightening – even if this operation is really successful, Yao Bianliang will definitely not have a good time.
Those people’s cakes are passive, and they must vent all their anger on her. At that time, can she really resist the pressure and continue to hang out in the entertainment industry?
The odds are slim to none.
Yao Bianliang said helplessly: “Yiqing, you don’t have to worry, our company still has allies after all, and it’s not without strength to fight against.”
“As for myself…”
She paused, and said sincerely: “As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, whoever goes to hell… Yiqing, I will definitely not back down.”
It is impossible to stop, and it is impossible to stop in this life.
Yao Bianliang was looking forward to the capital’s attack on her, how could he retreat at this time.
Just imagine, after the entertainment industry went through a big reshuffle, the capitalists who became angry could no longer make money, so they tried their best to collectively block her Yao Bianliang.
By that time, no matter how good her new movie is, it is impossible to become popular.
Isn’t it easy to complete system tasks?
Such a scene, just thinking about it, makes people feel very beautiful.
Facing Shangyu Yiqing’s more worried eyes, Yao Bianliang paused, and comforted him again: “Don’t worry, I have my own measure—how about it, I’ll contact Mo Yougan first.”
If it wasn’t for Yu Yiqing’s reminder, Yao Bianliang would have almost forgotten that he still has an ally.
When encountering such a thing, it is also time to discuss some countermeasures with the other party.
After thinking about it, she sent a message to Mo Youqian.
Yao Bianliang: “Are you there?”
Mo Youqian replied to the message as fast as ever: “Yes.”
After a few days of understanding, Yao Bianliang discovered that the efficiency of Mo Youqian’s reply to messages depends on whether he is at work or not.
Regardless of whether what she said was related to work or not, Mo Youqian could reply in seconds during work. This style of behavior is not at all like the boss of a company.
It was only later that Yao Bianliang realized that this was probably because… during work, he couldn’t control his desire to chat and fish.
Yao Bianliang weighed his words carefully and said: “It’s like this, there is a problem on our side.”
After sending these words, Yao Bianliang could feel Mo Youqian’s happy mood through the screen.
“Are you short of funds here?” Mo Youqian asked immediately, “Don’t worry, I have plenty of money.”
He paused, and then said, “How far are you short? I’ll get someone to pay you.”
Yao Bianliang: “…”
Brother Mo, restrain your excited attitude a little bit.
She sighed softly: “Mr. Mo, I’m afraid it’s not just about money this time.”
Speaking of this, Yao Bianliang did not hide anything, and simply explained the current situation.
Mo Youqian was also a little worried when he heard the words: “Is that so… That’s really troublesome.”
These things are difficult to solve only with money, but also with strength and channels.
The Lu Group has teamed up with so many companies. If they cannot be disintegrated from within, it will be difficult to break through their encirclement by relying on external factors alone.
And these capitals are bound together by interests, and it is not easy to disintegrate from the inside.
After thinking for a while, Mo You said: “How about this, I’ll contact my friends to see if there are other channels.”
The situation is urgent. If it is not possible, they will have to settle for the next best thing and find some small platforms to reach deals.
For the sake of visible benefits, some small platforms should still be willing to take risks and cooperate with them.
It’s just not a last resort, it’s best not to use this method.
——
The domestic situation is getting more and more serious, and no one is distracted to pay attention to other things.
Therefore, no one noticed that in a country far overseas, a Chinese movie had been quietly released a few days ago.
It was an ordinary weekend, sunny and nice weather.
Senior, as usual, planned to lie in the dormitory and enjoy a rare vacation.
His brother on the lower bunk was sitting cross-legged on the bed, watching a certain video clip played on the computer with relish.
The video clip is not long, only three minutes, but he has watched it several times.
“Betsy, what are you looking at?” Senior became curious.
Betsy raised her head and moved the computer aside so that Senior could see the screen clearly.
“A teaser trailer for a song and dance movie in Huaguo,” Betsy said excitedly. “It looks really good. I’ve already decided to go to the cinema to see it tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Senior lost interest a little.
He knew that his friend was a full-fledged fan of Huaguo culture. He had taught himself the characters of Huaguo, and even knew some poems and songs.
It’s not surprising that the other party would be interested in Hua Guo’s movies.
However, Senior himself doesn’t know all about Huaguo culture, and even less about Huaguo’s singing and dancing.
“Does Hua Country actually have musicals?”
Senior opened a bag of snacks, sat down next to Betsy, and watched with him.
The computer played the content of the trailer again.
What catches the eye is the magnificent Huaguo classical buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, Qionglouyuyu, majestic and majestic, almost instantly pulling people into the mysterious and beautiful oriental country.
The heroine is wearing a gorgeous dance dress and dancing on the high platform. The camera zoomed in, and a falling flower fluttered down from the top of her head, and finally landed on her jade-white fingertips.
Immediately afterwards, she turned around, and the falling flowers flew out, and dancing with her was the dancing sleeve that looked like a fairy.
Finally, when the male and female protagonists looked at each other, the screen slowly dimmed.
An ancient melody from the East slowly sounded. The film producer did not change the song and lines into English, but only translated it on the subtitles.
Therefore, Senior couldn’t understand what the lyrics were singing, but the language and tune blended together to form a strange beauty—even without reading the subtitles, it can still make people feel emotional.
The tune is melodious, tactful, with a different charm.
Coupled with the beautiful picture of the hero and heroine playing music and dancing among the flowers, it is romantic and fascinating.
Suddenly, a piercing sound pierced the sky.
An unknown musical instrument joined the accompaniment, and the tune was no longer as melodious and melodious as before, but suddenly turned sharply.
The rhythm of the music speeds up, and the whole tune becomes exciting, which makes the hearts of the viewers can’t help but lift up.
The movie screen has also changed.
Flames filled the sky, and the palace collapsed.
Wars are raging everywhere, and corpses are everywhere.
The original romantic and beautiful atmosphere disappeared, and there were obstacles from others, endless crises, and endless difficulties and obstacles.
The rhythm is getting faster and faster, and the hero and heroine are constantly falling into dangerous situations.
The camera is constantly switching, focusing on the tense, painful, or confused faces of the characters, and the drums are dense, which makes the heart tighten.
At the end of the trailer, the rhythm suddenly slowed down.
In the picture, the heroine stands on a high platform and looks back in a certain direction.
Her skirt fluttered, her exquisite makeup and gorgeous costumes were gone, but she showed a unique charm of a classical beauty.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, her eyes contained complex emotions, but she didn’t know what she was looking at.
The screen then dimmed, and the English title of the movie “Sigh of a Floating Life” appeared.
Senior had already forgotten to continue eating snacks at this time, until the screen went dark and the trailer started to play again, and he slowly came back to his senses.
This movie… seems unexpectedly good, doesn’t it?
“How is it, Senior?” Betsy said excitedly, “I asked my friends, this movie has received very good reviews in Huaguo, I think this movie will definitely surprise us.”
“Anyway, there aren’t any good new movies to watch these days. How about we go to the cinema to watch this movie tomorrow?”
Senior also thought this movie was good, especially the melodious melody, which made him subconsciously moved.
After thinking about it, he nodded: “Okay, then listen to you, Betsy!”
…
The movie “Sigh of a Floating Life” was quietly released overseas.
At the beginning, the movie only attracted some lovers of Chinese culture and groups of Chinese descent to watch the movie.
But over time, other groups gradually became interested in the film.
On social platforms on the extranet, some posts about “Floating Life Sigh” appeared.
[Dear friends, believe me, this is definitely a movie that exceeds your expectations! 】
[This movie seems to have pulled me into a mysterious and ancient oriental country, the songs and dances are amazingly beautiful, it’s just amazing! 】
【Oh, to be honest, I was dragged to watch it by my friend from Huaguo. However, after watching it, I have to admit that the beautiful pictures and touching love stories in the movie have already attracted me deeply! 】
【God, this song is really good! I very much hope that the official can sing an English version. 】
[But don’t do this! I think that only the language of Huaguo can sing the charm of this song. If it is changed to another language, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced. 】
The response from the Internet has been very positive.
Although “Floating Life” is not going to be a big hit, but as a movie released overseas, it has already achieved very good results.
In the past, most people in the world had the impression of Huaguo movies on “Huaguo Kung Fu” and “martial arts movies”.
Among the movies that Huaguo has sold overseas copyrights, almost all of the top-grossing movies are Kung Fu martial arts movies.
But now, many people have truly realized that Huaguo does not only have kung fu.
They also have carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent palaces, long-lasting songs and beautiful dances. This ancient civilization has too many cultural heritages that surprise them.
The love depicted in “A Floating Life” is a combination of romanticism and tragicism, which is embarrassing and can also arouse people’s empathy and emotion.
Among the Chinese movies released overseas in the past, the highest box office was a martial arts movie, with a total of more than 20 million US dollars.
But now, “A Sigh of a Floating Life” is rising steadily at the foreign box office. According to this momentum, it is already faintly poised to break through the record.
Therefore, Yao Bianliang was a little surprised to find that since some time, there have been many discussion posts about “Fushengtan” and “Yao Bianliang” on the Internet.
“Strange, what’s going on these two days.” Yao Bianliang was a little confused.
Since being blocked by the Lu Group and the others, Yao Bianliang has rarely seen discussions about himself on the Internet.
Many marketing account articles will be deleted for unknown reasons, and if there are topics related to Yao Bianliang, they will be quickly suppressed by new news.
The word “Yao Bianliang” seems to be gradually fading out of the public’s sight, and even the discussion about “Actors Training Camp” has decreased a lot.
But in the past two days, Yao Bianliang’s popularity seemed to have increased a lot inexplicably.
The entry about her was briefly searched twice—although it was quickly suppressed, it could be seen that those who suppressed her seemed to be struggling.
“Sister Liang, you don’t know that,” Yu Yiqing said with excitement on his face, “Fu Shengtan seems to have achieved good results overseas.”
Yao Bianliang was slightly startled. She immediately opened the relevant software and quickly searched on the Internet.
It’s a pity that Lu’s and other groups blocked her thoroughly. Yao Bianliang searched for a long time, but couldn’t find any useful information.
It wasn’t until she added the keyword “Fushengtan” that she found what she wanted to watch.
#Fushengtan Overseas box office breaks through 10 million US dollars#
#《Fushengtan》is expected to break through Huaguo’s overseas box office record#
#Fushengtan Yao Bianliang#
#外网网友评论“Floating Life Sigh”#
“Fushengtan managed to achieve results so quickly?” Yao Bianliang’s heart moved slightly.
She immediately scrolled through the comments, and under any popular Weibo, the comments exceeded four digits.
It stands to reason that such popularity should have been on the hot search long ago, but unfortunately, this entry was still suppressed.
[It’s so cool, my Dahuaguo’s films have also gone abroad. 】
[It’s still an old-fashioned movie. To some extent, this can be regarded as a kind of cultural export, right? 】
[Our Hua country has such a profound cultural background, and “Floating Life Sigh” contains many crystallizations of classical art, it is not surprising that it can conquer foreign netizens. 】
[It can only be said that the domestic movies in recent years are too rubbish. In the early years, there were kung fu movies and martial arts movies that dominated the market abroad, but now there are very few high-quality kung fu movies. 】
[I can only say one thing, as expected of my sister Liang. The first movie I made became popular, and it became popular abroad! 】
Of course, in the middle, there is also a little ridicule and opposition.
Yao Bianliang glanced at it roughly, and found that any bad-mouthing remarks were quickly dismissed.
[Hehe, some people boasted too early, right? It’s only 10 million box office. It is only foreigners who look down on this kind of movie, and some people in our country have started to brag about it. 】
[The record hasn’t been broken yet, so it’s starting to blow up, tsk tsk tsk. 】
[The people in front can take it seriously, the unit of the box office is US dollars, not Huaguo currency…]
[International netizens are all praising “Floating Life Sigh” as good-looking, but some people in China started to sing the bad news first, really laughing to death. 】
[One thing to say, according to this momentum, “Floating Life Sigh” has broken the record, okay, is there any doubt about it? 】
Of course, the record-breaking box office of “A Sigh of a Floating Life” is also due to the rapid development of the global economy in recent years.
The more people watching movies, the higher the box office will be.
But it is undeniable that “Floating Sigh” also has sufficient strength and confidence.
“I almost forgot about Fushengtan.” Yao Bianliang couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
During this period of time, she was busy with domestic variety shows and fighting wits with the Lu Group, so she really didn’t pay much attention to Fu Shengtan’s overseas situation.
Unexpectedly, despite the huge cultural differences, this ancient song and dance film from China can also impress foreign audiences.
Perhaps this is the legendary art that knows no borders.
“It’s a pity,” Yu Yiqing sighed, “The guys from the Lu Group are determined to suppress the popularity, and we can’t be on the trending search at all now.”
In fact, this matter should have been on the trending searches long ago, but now, the popularity of “Floating Life Sigh” has been suppressed again and again, and there is no chance of it appearing at all.
Yao Bianliang flipped through the comments, and sure enough, many netizens complained about it.
[I just want to ask, why can’t this kind of thing be on the hot search? These days, celebrities who ate a bite of chive-stuffed dumplings can be on the top searches. “Floating Life Sigh” has become popular overseas, which can be regarded as enhancing our cultural confidence. Why can’t it be on the top searches. 】
[Alas, when “A Sigh of a Floating Life” was released, it couldn’t get a high screening rate. As a result, Fushengtan is now popular overseas, and he is not even allowed to be listed on the top searches! Let some capital be an individual. 】
[The food looks so ugly, it’s really disgusting—the Lu Corporation is talking about you. 】
[Poor sister Liang, movies have been suppressed, new variety shows have been suppressed, and now there is not even a splash. 】
[What, Yao Bianliang is going to hold a variety show? When did it happen. 】
[Hehe, I liked all the Weibo posts about “Floating Life”, and all three accounts reposted them. Since some capital is so rich, then you can continue to press the heat! Let’s see who can survive who. 】
Looking at everyone’s comments, Yao Bianliang also sighed softly.
In order to suppress her, the capital has indeed spent a lot of money.
“Sister Liang, should we take some action?” Yu Yiqing asked.
Yao Bianliang pondered for a while: “Why don’t I try to forward a Weibo too.”
Since she hasn’t posted on Weibo all the year round, her Weibo has already grown grass.
If she suddenly posts a Weibo post, combined with Fu Shengtan’s popularity, she might be able to directly rush to the top of the trending list.
Yu Yiqing hesitated: “But… this should still be suppressed by those people, right?”
Yao Bianliang smiled slightly: “The pressure also costs money.”
Now, not only Yao Bianliang’s situation is not good, but the Lu Corporation must also be aggrieved.
Originally, there was no need to invest so much money to suppress her as a celebrity.
In the end, because Fu Shengtan became popular overseas, they had to invest more and try their best to suppress the news.
So far, having spent so much money in vain, Director Lu is probably very depressed.
If she makes another wave of hot searches, then the Lu Group will have to spend another wave of money!
I don’t know if the other party will directly vent internal injuries.
Yu Yiqing suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up: “Yes, they have already spent a lot of money before, if they don’t continue to invest now, all the previous funds will be in vain.”
Therefore, the Lu Group will definitely not let it go.
Yao Bianliang nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: “After they suppress the heat, let’s raise the heat again—then they will have to continue to spend money.”
Lu’s Group’s wool, if you don’t squeeze it, don’t squeeze it!
Yu Yiqing: “…”
You put a bug here.
However, the Lu Corporation was tossed and tossed like this, and I’m afraid it really had to bleed a lot.
Thinking of this, Yu Yiqing was also a little excited: “Then I’ll follow along and retweet Weibo!”
Poor Lu Group, they may be in trouble again.
However, after refreshing the phone interface, Yu Yiqing’s face gradually became weird after reading the trending content.
“Sister Liang… I think we don’t need to post on Weibo anymore.”
Yao Bianliang raised his head, slightly taken aback: “What?”
Yu Yi paused, and carefully looked at the hot search content several times before making sure that she read it correctly.
“We’re already number one on the trending searches,” she took a deep breath, and said slowly, “Besides, the one who posted this time… seems to be the official media.”
