Every word of Zhou Fei's words was comprehensible to Yao Bianliang, but when combined together, it caused her brain to crash.
What does he an?
What does it an that her drama "is on TV"?!
Just a second ago, she confidently guaranteed there would be no hope for a coback unless the drama could be on TV. And now, the drama is on TV the next second?
Is fate playing with her?
Yao Bianliang found it hard to believe such an absurd thing could happen to her.
"No, could there be a mistake sowhere..." Yao Bianliang's fingers trembled as she scrolled down the screen for a long ti, finally successfully seeing the rest of the ssage.
Zhou Fei sounded excited, "Liang Jie, the TV station ntioned your drama while discussing the pandemic. Not only that, but the official account also contacted us, hoping to use our short drama as a promotional video for publicity!"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Her head was buzzing, and she didn't even have ti to reply to Zhou Fei. She quickly opened Weibo.
Sure enough, the top trending topic was solemnly paying tribute to healthcare workers. When she clicked on it, the first hot post was an excerpt from her drama.
The video excerpt featured the final segnt of the drama, with the female lead dragging a suitcase and joining her colleagues to provide dical support in a distant place.
An official dia account posted the video, removing the slightly sentintal background music and replacing it with a more stirring lody. This combination of music, visual content, and actor lines ignited the viewers' passion.
[So powerful, it makes my heart surge, sob sob sob.]
[Paying tribute to all healthcare workers, they have truly sacrificed too much.]
[This scene is so touching, it reminds of the doctors, nurses, and experts who went to the frontlines of the pandemic. They truly deserve our respect.]
[The final shot is so beautiful, the hopeful smile on the actress's face, I watched it three tis repeatedly. She really acted so well, what's her na?]
[That's Yao Bianliang, her acting skills are truly extraordinary. It's hard to believe she's such a young actress with limited experience.]
[What's the na of this drama? Please guide , I really want to watch it.]
[The drama is called 'The Physician,' and the quality is truly amazing! It's a pity there was no promotion, and it was buried.]
Yao Bianliang scrolled down and saw a stream of positive reviews.
Moreover, official dia accounts also reposted the TV station's news video.
In the video footage, the news anchor smiled as they narrated a series of the latest reports on epidemic prevention and control, and then said, "Among them, so film and television works, led by 'The Physician,' express tribute and praise to healthcare workers, addressing the current hot topics..."
Reposting by official dia was not enough, as they also attached a link to Yao Bianliang's short drama below.
As a result, many netizens flocked to the link and discovered this little short drama hidden in a corner.
The number of comnts and barrage ssages started skyrocketing, creating a lively atmosphere akin to a New Year celebration.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
No, how could this happen? Everything was fine before, how did it suddenly develop to this stage?
It was evident that the official recomndation emphasized the last two segnts of the short drama.
After all, the atmosphere in the earlier segnts was oppressive, but the content of the last two segnts was full of hope. Just by changing to exciting background music, it could easily pass as a promotional video.
"...This works too?" Yao Bianliang stared blankly at the scene, questioning life itself.
Misfortunes never co singly.
This situation alone was already terrible, but soon Yao Bianliang despairingly discovered that her short drama was featured as the top headline on the hopage of the short video platform!
She received a private ssage notification from the platform.
[Dear user Yao Bianliang, congratulations. Your short drama has been featured as the top headline on the hopage. Please do not change the title and description of the drama during the recomnded period. Thank you for your support.]
Yao Bianliang: "..."
I really...
Thank you for the recomndation!
This short video platform is truly sothing. It stayed silent all this ti, but once her drama was recomnded by the official channel, they imdiately featured and recomnded it, as if they did a face-changing act like in Peking Opera.
The view count skyrocketed at a visible speed. As Yao Bianliang watched with fear and anticipation, it climbed step by step.
25 million, 30 million, 35 million...
With each increase, Yao Bianliang's heart twitched forcefully.
She had never felt ti passing so torturously. In just three hours, it felt like a century.
Finally, when the clock pointed to 11:55, the view count successfully surpassed the milestone of 50 million.
[Ding, the mission deadline has been reached]
[Current Mission:
Temporary Mission: Sign a contract with an entertainnt company or form your own team (completed)
Main Mission: Participate in the "Good Drama PK Competition" variety show finale, with a short drama view count below 50 million (not completed)
[Reward Situation: Participation award 2 months of rest ti]
[Mission ssage:
In this mission, the Host has already grasped many rules and tricks, avoiding many risky areas. This is significant progress.
But who could have expected that factors leading to popularity would include human factors and natural disasters?
The work has once again beco popular. This ending is unexpected yet logical.
Indeed, the outco was already determined when you chose the dical the from countless script genres.
Of course, we always believe that bad luck is temporary and people will always have monts of good luck.
After a two-month break, the system will issue new missions for the Host.
We hope that within these two months of rest and adjustnt, the Host can regroup, make a coback, and achieve glory!]
Yao Bianliang looked at the mission ssage provided by the system, finally closed her eyes in despair, and fell on the sofa, tears welling up but unable to be shed.
What on earth is all this!
*****
In the following two days, Yao Bianliang felt utterly desolate. She had no mood to summarize her failed experience or plan her next move.
The blow ca too big and too suddenly, and she still couldn't recover from it.
The system couldn't help but comfort her, "Host, let's think about the positive aspects. This ti, you were closest to success, so it can still be considered progress, right?"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Yao Bianliang didn't feel like talking much.
Only three hours! She was just three hours away from success!!
In the end, just at the critical mont, she caused such a ss, which completely ruined her previous achievents.
During this period, Yao Bianliang didn't even want to open her phone. Whenever she saw the continuously increasing view count and the comnts from internet users, she felt tight in her chest.
This ti, it was not as simple as failing the mission. She had completely exploded and reached a level where almost everyone in the country knew about it.
Although she had been trying to keep a low profile, the curiosity and love from everyone couldn't be stopped.
Even though she hadn't made any public appearances, her popularity continued to soar.
"No... I must pull myself together." Yao Bianliang took a deep breath and sat up straight.
She couldn't continue to be so dejected.
Although the main mission failed, she still had two months of vacation ti, so it wasn't a complete loss.
Moreover, when she initially made her plan, Yao Bianliang had set a backup plan for herself.
"From now on, I can't appear in any public occasions, nor participate in any events or shows." Yao Bianliang secretly made up her mind.
The internet has a short mory.
During her two-month break, even though she missed the golden developnt period, it was still within the rules, and the system couldn't control it.
Following that, she would seriously shoot new work, spending a few months on it, which was not excessive.
Add so post-production, extend it for two or three months, and it seed reasonable.
Calculating like this, it would have been over half a year when her next film or TV work is released!
Who knows what the entertainnt industry will be like in half a year?
Perhaps by that ti, her popularity will have faded, and it would be possible for her to smoothly transition to being cold.
With this thought in mind, Yao Bianliang opened her work email to see if there were any invitations during this ti.
Previously, she hadn't paid attention to it, after all, she thought she was about to retire and didn't need to bother with such things.
However, things didn't go as planned, and now that she had beco popular again, Yao Bianliang had to start looking for her next target.
"Last week, there weren't many offers that ca my way. I wonder how the situation is now."
With that in mind, Yao Bianliang opened her email while thinking about it.
As the inbox buzzed with a series of notifications, she finally saw the number of unread emails in her inbox
328 emails.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
So many invitations?!
This email address should only be known by industry insiders, and in the past, there would only be a few unread emails at most.
But now, in just a few days, the number of unread emails had skyrocketed.
Was this the benefit of being on TV and being recomnded by the official channels?
Yao Bianliang didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse, but the sheer volu of content was overwhelming. She couldn't possibly go through them one by one, and it would take forever.
She had no choice but to call her assistant Chen.
"assistant Chen, could you help do a preliminary screening of these emails? Hmm, that's right. I don't want any big productions or renowned directors' projects. The more likely they are to flop, the better. After screening, send the results."
Yao Bianliang could clearly sense the perplexity of assistant Chen, her assistant, on the other end of the phone. He couldn't understand her intentions and remained silent for a while.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yao Bianliang asked.
"...No problem. I will send you the results by tomorrow." assistant Chen's tone was complex.
After hanging up the call, Yao Bianliang had nothing else to do, so she went online to search for information.
"I wonder if I can find tips on how a star can beco cold on Baidu."
Yao Bianliang tried searching and a series of related prompts appeared on the page.
Recomnded search content:
- How can a D-list star beco popular?
- How can a star prevent themselves from becoming cold?
- How miserable is the fate of those who have beco D-list stars?
"What are all these things?" Yao Bianliang skipped past the unrelated content directly.
