MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 10 tenth day

"Yao! Bian! Cool!" Yao Xinxin gritted her teeth. If her gaze could be turned into reality, a hole would have been poked out of her phone screen.

This person dared to be so arrogant just after he became popular. If she becomes popular in the future, what will she do to survive?

Yao Xinxin has never been like today, eagerly hoping that Yao Bianliang will cool down soon.

She regretted a little, her previous methods were still too gentle, which gave the other party a chance to succeed as a villain.

"Yao Bianliang, you did have good luck this time and got a good result."

"But it's just the primary election, and there will be cruel knockouts and finals in the future. If you talk big at this time, aren't you afraid of being overturned later?"

Yao Bianliang: "Sister, you are right, I am indeed very likely to overturn."

"After all, you are the daughter of the Yao family. It should be very easy for the program team to target a pure newcomer like me with no background."

"In this rematch, you should be able to knock me out easily, right? Don't make me look down on you."

These words are full of irony.

Yao Xinxin gritted her teeth.

Yao Bianliang What does this mean? Surely there is nothing she can do.

"Yao Bianliang, you don't really think that as long as your acting skills are good and you work hard enough, you can get ahead?"

"Stop daydreaming! As long as I say a word, you can be assigned to the worst group and the worst role."

After Yao Xinxin finished posting these words, she finally didn't feel overwhelmed anymore.

But soon, Yao Bianliang's reply gave her another heart attack.

"Thank you, Yao Xinxin, it's great of you to think so."

Yao Xinxin:? ?

Yao Bianliang: "I believe that with your ability, it will be no problem to put me in the worst group and let me be eliminated in the semi-finals!"

"Come on, sister! I like you."

Yao Xinxin: "..."

Because of too much force, Yao Xinxin's fingers holding the phone turned white.

She never thought that Yao Bianliang would be so hateful once he became angry when he spoke.

"Okay, I want to see how long you can be proud!"

Yao Xinxin's fingers trembled a little. She took a deep breath, closed the chat box, and dialed a phone number.

This time, she really didn't want to wait any longer.

"Director, has the group list for the rematch been finalized?" she asked.

The director on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Not yet. Miss Yao, do you want to ask about Yao Bianliang's grouping?"

Yao's mother had already greeted the program team, so the director was well aware of the Yao family's suppression of Yao Bianliang.

"Yes," Yao Xinxin said, "Director, as I said last time, I hope you assign Yao Bianliang to the most competitive group, and give her the least outstanding role, just as a foil."

Although in name, the semi-final group should be determined by drawing lots, but in fact it is determined by default.

In order to suppress a player, it is very common to manipulate the grouping.

The director paused: "Currently, we have initially drawn up the grouping situation."

Yao Xinxin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

Director: "In the rematch, we plan to divide He Yanning and Mu Tao into a group. The script is called "Tulip Storm", and it is Director Hua's new work."

In the primary selection of variety shows, every group wins and loses. Everyone hopes that their team members will be well-known and powerful contestants.

But the rematch was just the opposite.

Because it is a PK system within the group, the members of the same group are teammates and opponents, and no one wants their opponents to be too strong.

He Yanning and Mu Taozhi, both of them are the most famous contestants in variety shows, and they are also the ones that the capital plans to promote.

Playing with them is almost destined to become a foil and be eliminated.

"This script mainly revolves around the hero (played by He Yanning) and the villain (played by Mu Taozhi). In addition, there is also a need for a female supporting tool who is the subordinate of the hero."

"This supporting role is a pure tool person, responsible for completing the tasks assigned by the male lead, and has no relationship with the male lead or the villain."

"We plan to let Yao Bianliang play this role."

After listening to the director's words, the corners of Yao Xinxin's lips rose slightly: "This character is not very good, is it?"

"It's not brilliant at all," the director replied. "The character of this character has no characteristics, and there are no bright moments. Most of the time, he just works with the male lead, and occasionally causes trouble."

When the director said this, he felt a little helpless: "I once discussed with Director Hua, asking him to plump up the character, or simply cut it off. But Director Hua disagreed."

"He said that he needs a supporting actress to complement the aggressiveness of the hero."

After listening to Yao Xinxin, she felt extremely satisfied.

This is completely her ideal choice.

"Very good," Yao Xinxin nodded, "Then I'll trouble the director, make sure Yao Bianliang gets the role."

She would like to see how Yao Bianliang can stand out in the rematch with such an unattractive and unattractive female character!

…

With work on the rematch getting ready, primary voting is also entering its final stages.

Today's moonlight is beautiful, and Yao Bianliang's mood is very cool.

When the pointer pointed to 12 o'clock, the voice of the system sounded in her mind.

[Drip, the mission time limit has expired]

[This task:

Participated in a short play in the variety show "Good Drama PK Competition", and was eliminated in the primary election, and the success was cool]

[Completion Status: Not Completed]

[Bonus Status: Participation Award only]

[Mission message:

You, who wanted to be cool, chose one excellent drama among many bad ones.

From a certain point of view, you do have a vision that others can't match, and extraordinary luck.

Unfortunately, your mission failed this time.

However, I believe that with your ability, it is not difficult to complete the next cooling task.

I hope the host will regain its strength, forge ahead, and make great achievements! ]

Yao Bianliang: "..."

The mission failed, Yao Bianliang only felt pain in breathing.

According to the original plan, she was supposed to pack her luggage at this time, fly away, and enjoy a good life with her bonus.

But now, not only has she become a poor child with no money, but she also has to continue to participate in the variety show "Good Drama PK Competition" and work part-time to earn money.

Faced with this situation, it is simply sad for those who hear it and tears for those who hear it.

[According to the status of the host, generate new tasks as follows:]

[Participating in the variety show rematch of "Good Drama PK Competition", the number of judge votes obtained is less than or equal to 5, and the number of audience votes is less than or equal to 5 million; in the end, he was eliminated by the variety show, and the success was cool]

[Task bonus:

Participation award: 300,000 (you can get it if you participate)

Completion bonus: 100 billion (obtainable after successfully completing the task)]

When Yao Bianliang saw this new task, he was slightly taken aback.

The number of votes from the judges is less than 5, and the number of votes from the audience is less than 5 million. This standard does not seem to be strict!

In the rematch of "Good Drama PK Tournament", the final ranking of the contestants is determined by the votes of the judges and the audience.

30 players, in groups of three, PK on the same stage.

Each of the 10 judges has a ticket, and they will vote for one of the contestants or abstain directly according to the performance of the contestants.

If one of them performs particularly well during the competition on the same stage, it is indeed possible to get more than 5 votes.

However, Yao Bianliang knew in his heart that these rules were just for show and for the audience to see.

The real situation is that the judges will vote for whichever player the capital wants to make popular.

The common rhetoric is "XXX has improved a lot", "XX is working very hard", "We should give some encouragement to newcomers".

In short, the votes of the judges are Schrödinger's votes, and the destination of each vote has already been determined by default!

And a newcomer like Yao Bianliang who has no background and no background will most likely only be reduced to a foil for traffic stars.

Coupled with the pressure from the Yao family, she would be thankful if she could get only one or two votes, and it was impossible to get too many votes.

As for audience voting, it's even simpler.

Now, she is indeed more popular than before, but compared with those top stars, she is still far behind.

So far, she has more than two million fans on Weibo, and 80% of them are ordinary people who don't watch variety shows or follow stars.

It's true that these people have a crush on her, but for her sake, would they download seven or eight apps on their mobile phones and spend two or three hours a day doing data, just to vote for her?

I'm afraid not.

To be honest, if these people can give her a like on Weibo, it is already giving her a lot of face.

Among the more than two million fans, there may be a small number of fans who have been in the fan circle all year round.

They would be willing to vote for her, but what is the use of such meager power?

not to mention...

Yao Bianliang can completely warn fans in private, telling them not to make rankings and spend more time studying hard.

In this way, let alone 5 million votes, she might not even get 500,000 votes!

"However, there is still a hidden danger in this matter." Yao Bianliang was thoughtful, "My acting skills are much better than other contestants."

Audiences are not blind. If there is too much difference in acting skills, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

What if everyone complained for her and voted frantically, and she was successfully promoted?

Then she has nowhere to cry!

Take this primary election as an example, "To Our Youth" had no traffic, no background, no capital support, but it still became popular in the end.

Not for anything else, just because the quality of this drama is excellent.

The audience has long been tired of the assembly line products launched by capital, so they are willing to support high-quality dramas and vote for them.

Yao Bianliang has learned his lesson, so naturally he dare not repeat the same mistakes.

"So, judging from my experience in the primary election, it is very likely that I will receive more votes than I expected because of my good acting skills." Yao Bianliang tapped his finger on the table, lost in thought.

There's no way, the opponent's acting skills are too rubbish, and it directly sets off her as a god-like existence.

And the system doesn't allow her to lower her acting skills, so she can only be forced to beat other contestants with her acting skills, which forms an endless loop.

"In this way, I have to change my mind..." Yao Bianliang's thoughts turned quickly.

Since she can't lower her own acting skills, then she can just improve her opponent's acting skills!

Just like this primary election, if all of the 10 entries are well-made and innovative, will "To Our Youth" still be so popular?

Certainly not.

Not to mention 10 works, even if it's just "Youth Is Sweet with You", which is well shot, it can attract 90% of the attention, making "To Our Youth" a foil.

When the quality gap between the two parties is not large, short dramas with traffic stars and capital support will naturally have an advantage and even be invincible.

In the same way, if the gap in acting skills between her and her opponent is not so large, and the contrast is not so obvious, then she will be safe.

What's more, her acting skills have always been very good, no matter how good her acting skills are, the audience will not be surprised.

And the opponent's acting skills have been criticized all the time, if it suddenly becomes better, it will definitely be more topical!

"In the rematch, there will be a team of three. I just need to help my two opponents develop their acting skills, and all problems will be solved." Yao Bianliang straightened out his thoughts.

She doesn't ask that their acting skills are as good as hers, but that they are not so bad, that's all.

When the capital comes to an end, the marketing account will brag about it, and the traffic star's acting skills, which were originally only 60 points, can be blown up to 90 points.

The whole network is hotly discussing traffic stars, who else would notice a little transparent named Yao Bianliang?

This doesn't seem too difficult to do.

Yao Bianliang felt relaxed.

Before binding the fast travel system, as a veteran in the entertainment industry, she would occasionally give advice to younger generations on their acting skills to help them understand the roles.

Moreover, things like emotions can be infected with each other.

As long as she intentionally leads the other party when acting, it will be easy for the other party to blend into the plot and act more into the play.

After this operation, Yao Bianliang believes that even a small fresh meat with only 1 or 2 points in acting can be raised to 5 or 6 points!

"From this point of view, the task this time does not seem to be difficult."

Yao Bianliang regained his confidence.

Thinking about it carefully, she was not eliminated in the primary election mainly due to her bad luck.

After all, who would have thought that an eighteenth-line newcomer director who is not favored by everyone is actually a genius?

People, it's okay to be unlucky once, it's impossible to be unlucky again and again.

In the next time, as long as she plays normally, she should still be able to cool off in the semi-finals!
