MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 22 【two

◎A few minutes. After reading all the chat records, Mu Taozhi felt that the whole person was ◎

After a few minutes.

After reading all the chat records, Mu Taozhi felt that he was not well.

"It's just nonsense!" He was quite wronged, "When did I bully Yao Bianliang?"

He Yanning glanced at him: "You really didn't bully Yao Bianliang. At most, you just mocked her from time to time, occasionally gave her a cold face, or secretly scolded her in your heart."

Mu Taozhi: "..."

Mu Taozhi recalled what he had done in the past, and his confidence was not as strong as before.

He said: "That's because I didn't know that she was helping us secretly. Now that I know the truth, of course I won't continue to do that."

As he spoke, he threw the phone back to He Yanning, and sat on the sofa a little depressed.

"No, we have to do something, we can't continue this misunderstanding."

Yao Bianliang did help him a lot.

Mu Taozhi is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, and he also hopes to repay Yao Bianliang.

He Yanning shook her head slightly: "There are many ways to help her, but she may not agree with the marketing hype."

This is indeed a difficulty.

With Yao Bianliang's character, she is definitely not willing to use heresy ways to get traffic.

Thinking of this, Mu Taozhi turned his head and asked the other party: "What's your idea?"

He Yanning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "I checked her vote count today, and found that no one voted for her at all. Not only that, she has never organized fundraising for the list."

"I originally planned to let her spend money on the list, but if I vote too much, it will be too obvious, and it will be easy to be picked out. At that time, it will have a bad influence."

Mu Taozhi was in trouble: "This is not acceptable, if this continues, she will not be far from being eliminated."

He paced back and forth in the dormitory, and finally guessed: "You said, is there such a possibility that she never thought of raising funds at all?"

He Yanning was silent.

This guess is actually quite outrageous. Everyone is a variety show contestant, as an insider, how can they not think of a way to raise funds to hit the rankings.

I can think of Yao Bianliang's style of never participating in marketing activities or accepting interviews. If it is her, it seems...not impossible.

Mu Taozhi made a decisive decision: "Why don't we remind her about the fundraising first, so that her votes will increase a little. Then we can think of a way to make her more popular."

There are still two days until the rematch PK officially starts.

If it's too late to raise money, it's really too late.

As for how to help Yao Bianliang continue to gain popularity, they still have time to think of a way.

He Yanning pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Taozhi's plan: "Okay."

———

Contrary to He Yanning's mood, Yao Bianliang's mood is very comfortable at this time.

Everyone's votes are increasing, only her votes increase is pitifully small!

This is really a good thing that I never dreamed of.

"It's a pity, the only fly in the ointment is that a local tyrant named Xiao He threw money at me." Yao Bianliang looked at the voting list and sighed inwardly, "Without his ranking, my votes should be even lower Just one point."

For this matter, Yao Bianliang also felt very distressed.

Before the start of the rematch, she interacted with fans more than once in the Weibo comment area, warning them not to vote for herself.

This kind of fans who watch variety shows and chase stars are usually relatively young. As their idol, she only needs a little guidance, and they will strictly abide by her instructions.

But now it seems that after the fan base grows, there will always be a few fans who don't listen to persuasion.

For example, Xiao He 8331 gave her a lot of votes, making her go from the bottom one to the bottom two.

Although they were all countdowns, this still made Yao Bianliang feel a sense of crisis.

"Should I remind the fans again not to waste money?" Yao Bianliang silently thought about the countermeasures.

"Ding dong—"

A call request popped up on the phone screen, interrupting Yao Bianliang's thoughts.

After seeing the name on the caller ID, she frowned slightly.

Mu Taozhi? What did he come to her for.

As soon as the call was connected, Mu Taozhi's voice rang out: "Yao Bianliang, I saw that your votes are counting down. If you continue to develop, you don't need to vote from your mentor, and you will be eliminated directly."

Yao Bianliang nodded secretly.

Isn't that right, she will be eliminated immediately!

It's really pleasing to think about.

Mu Taozhi continued: "After this live broadcast event is over, everyone is engaged in fundraising activities, so the number of votes has skyrocketed. Why don't you try it too?"

"Fund raising?" Yao Bianliang was taken aback.

This word sounds a bit unfamiliar, but just hearing the name alone makes people feel that it is not a good thing.

"That's right," Mu Taozhi said, "You can gather some big fans and ask them to organize a fundraising event so that everyone can raise funds and vote together."

"There are many titles for fundraising, such as 'when the fundraising reaches 500,000, someone will add 100,000', 'when 10,000 people participate in the fundraising, someone will add 50,000', etc."

"With these activities, your fans should be more active in voting. In order to meet this standard, they may even actively go to other places to recruit people."

"In fact, generally speaking, these things are operated by the team behind the star. But you don't have a team yet, so you can only figure out your own way."

Yao Bianliang understood.

Isn't this just taking money from fans' pockets in different ways?

At first glance, it sounds a bit like a pyramid scheme.

Yao Bianliang thought for a while and asked: "Who is that person who promised to 'add XX million'? Did the star pay for it himself?"

"Uh..." Mu Taozhi was silent, "Maybe some rich fans."

Of course, it may just be some empty promises.

In fact, most star teams do this.

Anyway, after the fundraising is completed, only you will know whether there will be additional investment.

"It turns out that's the case," Yao Bianliang was thoughtful, "It's no wonder that some contestants' votes are ridiculously high."

Local tyrants spend money, coupled with fans comparing each other and pulling people everywhere, the number of votes will naturally go up.

Yao Bianliang had been in the entertainment industry for several years before binding the fast travel system.

But in the world she lives in, the entertainment industry has not yet developed a rice circle economy. Fans call themselves film fans and music fans. They will fall in love with idols because of their excellent works, but they will not support his works just because they like idols.

As for the way they support their idols, they are actually relatively simple, usually by buying idol posters, magazines or DVDs.

And behaviors such as hitting the rankings and swiping votes are absolutely unacceptable.

Before participating in the variety show, Yao Bianliang also searched for relevant information on the Internet.

As far as she knows, fans can vote for their favorite idols by spending money or doing tasks for a long time.

But she really didn't expect that those voting methods were only on the surface.

There are far more black-box operations than she imagined.

Mu Taozhi continued: "Actually, many fans are willing to spend money for idols, and this is also a kind of happiness to be cultivated."

"As long as you act well and improve your strength, you can't live up to their hard work."

The corner of Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched.

It is impossible to raise funds, and it is impossible in this life.

On the one hand, she will turn cold sooner or later, and it is doomed that it is impossible to give these fans a good result.

If under such circumstances, she still asks fans for money, Yao Bianliang's own conscience will not be able to bear it.

On the other hand, a more important reason is - she has to get cold!

If these fans frantically voted for her, how could she survive?

Mu Taozhi: "I heard that your fans are privately planning to raise funds to vote for you. Why don't you go and see the situation? Take this opportunity to organize more fundraising activities."

Yao Bianliang's originally calm expression froze suddenly.

Those fans of hers are already planning to raise funds for her?

Is there something wrong with this development?

"What's going on here?" Yao Bianliang was no longer as relaxed as before.

Mu Tao Zhidao: "Everyone sees that you have been reluctant to engage in fund-raising activities for a long time, and the number of votes is at the bottom, so of course they can't sit still."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

She was wrong, she still underestimated her fans too much.

She originally thought that as long as she warned them not to vote, she would be able to avoid the situation where fans hit the rankings.

But it's only been a while, and these fans have already been doing tricks in private, and they are going to raise funds to vote for her!

If this situation is allowed to continue, wouldn't her task become indifferent again.

"Thank you, Mu Taozhi," Yao Bianliang thanked sincerely, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that my fans were going to raise funds."

When the fan fundraising is completed, it will really be over. Even if she reacts in time, it won't help.

After all, all the money has been invested, so it is impossible for the capital side to spit it out again?

Now that the fundraising has not been completed, then everything is still too late.

Mu Taozhi heard this, but only thought that Yao Bianliang was going to call on fans to raise funds.

Hearing the other party's thanks, he said uncomfortably: "It's nothing, I just remind you."

Yao Bianliang: "I'm going to deal with this right now—by the way, how did you know that my fans plan to raise funds?"

Mu Taozhi: "Of course..."

Of course I saw it in the fan group.

Before the words were spoken, Mu Taozhi realized something again, and immediately shut up.

Isn't that the same as telling Yao Bianliang that he joined her fan group?

It's too embarrassing to say it.

Mu Taozhi paused, and decided to throw the pot to He Yanning: "I don't know either, He Yanning told me this."

He Yanning, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was suddenly cueed: "?"

He Yanning turned to look at Mu Taozhi with a bit of astonishment in his eyes.

Mu Taozhi ignored He Yanning's eyes, and continued to talk to Yao Bianliang: "He Yanning learned about the situation from your big fans. So I think you can contact your big fans and let them organize these matter."

"So that's the case, I will pay attention," Yao Bianliang wrote down silently.

Dafen, which means the leading figure among fans, is usually closely related to stars and studios and acts as a bridge of communication.

Whether it is raising funds to hit the rankings, controlling reviews and anti-gangsters, or engaging in support and making data, it is inseparable from the support and operation of big fans.

Yao Bianliang was just a small fan before, so naturally he didn't have the so-called "big fan".

Now that Mu Taozhi suddenly mentioned this, Yao Bianliang really realized for the first time that she is no longer a little transparent.

Although her reputation ranks last in variety shows, she also has a lot of fans, and even has a leading fan.

"This time, you can only deal with it by yourself. In fact, you can consider joining a brokerage company, or recruit a small team yourself, so that you can relax a bit." Mu Taozhi couldn't help but suggest.

It takes too much energy to train so hard every day, and to deal with fans and public opinion issues.

What's more, they are just stars, and they are undoubtedly not very good at other aspects.

There are specializations in the art industry, so it is better to find professionals to do these things.

Yao Bianliang thought about it, and finally said: "Let's talk about it later."

Indeed, for most debut players, the team is an indispensable existence.

But her situation was different.

After all, after the rematch, she should become cold and retire.

Where else can a team be used?

Taking a step back, even if this mission fails, she will have time to recruit some more personnel by then...

As soon as this idea came up, Yao Bianliang immediately pinched it down.

No, no crow's mouth.

She will only get colder and colder in the future, and there will never be a day when she recruits a team.

Both parties hang up the call. Yao Bianliang thought briefly, and decided to sneak into his fan base to find out the situation.

"We have to think of a surefire way to put an end to these fans' dangerous thoughts." She was thinking silently in her heart.

In two or three days, it will be the day of "Good Drama PK Competition" on the same stage.

Seeing that victory is in sight, there must be no troubles!

The so-called know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. If you want to understand the fan base, you can come up with a better plan.

Click the new account registration button, and a new pop-up window will pop up on the phone.

[Please enter your nickname]

"The nickname for the trumpet... Just pretend to be a nickname that an ordinary fan should have."

Yao Bianliang thought for a while, and finally typed "I also want to be cool today".

This nickname has two meanings. On the one hand, it can be understood that the fan misses Yao Bianliang every day. Of course, it can also be understood that she wants to become cool in the entertainment industry every day.

She took this name mainly to express the second meaning.

[nickname passed. Welcome users @今天also want to be cool]

Yao Bianliang cautiously changed his profile picture to his own stills, and reposted several related Weibo posts.

This account was completely disguised as a fan.

Apart from the fact that the number is relatively new, there is almost nothing wrong with it.

After preparing, Yao Bianliang clicked the "apply to join the fan group" button.

As an ordinary fan who has never spent money, if he wants to join the group chat, he has to answer a long list of questions first.

After looking up questions such as "What is Liangliang's birthday?" —

There are many answers to the questions that she does not know herself.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

So, how did those fans know the standard answer?

In desperation, Yao Bianliang had no choice but to search on Baidu.

However, the questions in this questionnaire are very rigorous, and some questions cannot be answered on Baidu.

She could only look through her previous Weibo and interview videos, and piece together answers from a few words.

After tossing and tossing for an entire hour, finally, Yao Bianliang finally answered all the questions clearly.

She only found out today that in the eyes of her fans, she is a beautiful girl who loves eating strawberries, blue, and singing folk songs.

"So I am such a person." After answering all the questions, Yao Bianliang felt that the whole person had been sublimated.

These questions are really too difficult. She never tried so hard in the final exam.

While waiting for the administrator to review, Yao Bianliang got up to get a bottle of yogurt, and then returned to the bed and sat down.

She is ready for a long battle.

[Users also want to cool and join the group chat today, please pay attention to your privacy]

After joining the group, Yao Bianliang found that the chats in the group were full of enthusiasm, and the topics almost revolved around fund-raising activities.

The group announcement edited by the group owner was marked red on the top, which was very eye-catching.

[Group Announcement]

[Little fish don’t eat fish: everyone hurry up and start fundraising activities, you can get an additional 10,000 if you complete 50,000 tickets! There is no ceiling! ]

Yao Bianliang's heart skipped a beat when he saw the news.

I don't know how much they have raised in total now, and whether they can return the money back the same way.

[Peppa Pig: Are all the sisters participating? I have given! ]

[Ayu: I contributed a hundred, Liangliang must rush]

[Liangzi: You vote, I vote, Liangliang will debut tomorrow! ]

Looking at these words, Yao Bianliang only felt a pain in his head.

Sober up, little cuties.

Your Liangliang doesn't want to debut at all, please, don't vote again.

[Small fish don't eat fish: New sisters, can you join me too? @I also want to be cool today]

Yao Bianliang: "..."

No, she refuses.

Vote for her, do you still think she is not cool enough?

After settling his mind, Yao Bianliang deliberated and said something.

[I also want to be cool today: Everyone, why did you think of holding a fundraising event? I remember Liangliang once said that you don't need to spend money on her list. ]

Did you hear that, the Lord has said it all, so you don't have to hit the rankings!

Sadly, fans see it differently.

[Xiaohua can't speak English: What Liangliang means is that he hopes that we can play the rankings rationally, and don't spend more money than our ability needs. It's not really that we don't invest a penny. ]

[Wood: That's right, since he participated in a variety show, which contestant is looking forward to being eliminated because of too few votes? ]

[Xiaoxin: Oh, Liangliang has so few votes now, she must be very sad...]

Yao Bianliang was silent.

She's not sad at all, really!

She'll be upset if you all come and vote for her, okay?

Yao Bianliang deeply felt that these fans had a deep misunderstanding of him.

[Hello: At the beginning, I also listened to what Liang Liang said, and didn't vote for her. But now Liang Liang has the lowest number of votes, we can no longer sit idly by! ]

[p: Yes, I don't want Liangliang to be eliminated. Liangliang has no capital to back her up, and she can only rely on us. ]

[Get on fire: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who really don't want Liangliang to be eliminated, even if I eat dirt, I have to contribute votes for Liangliang. ]

Looking at these words, Yao Bianliang felt a lot of pressure.

Don't vote, stop it!

[I also think about Liangliang today: Did everyone over-interpret Liangliang's words? I think that should be taken literally, don't want us to vote for her. ]

[I also think about Liangliang today: Besides, Liangliang may not be as good as you imagined, she is just an ordinary person. ]

What Yao Bianliang said was the truth.

She is really an ordinary person who just wants to get 100 billion and then retire.

The poor little girl that fans imagined didn't understand marketing hype and was suppressed by capital was not her at all.

It's just a figment of their imagination.

When Yao Bianliang said this, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test everyone's tone.

After figuring out the attitude of the fans, she switched back to her tuba size and went off to dissuade them from spending money on the rankings.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she said something tentatively, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among the fans.

[Vanilla: What do you mean by that? Liang Liang's acting skills are so good, how can you say she is just an ordinary person? ]

[I also want to be cool today: If her acting skills are not good enough, how can she be called an actress. It's like a plumber if he can't fix the pipes, what kind of plumber is he? Good acting skills are the qualities an actor should have. ]

[Xiao Curie: Ke Liangliang is not only good at acting, but also very hardworking! Even if the temperature outside is only zero degrees, she insists on filming and never complains that she is tired. ]

[I also want to be cool today: Filming in all kinds of harsh environments is what actors should do. Actors earn this hard money. What kind of advantage is this? ]

[Little bee: Liangliang also specially told us that we don't need to make rankings and reviews for her to make data, she is true love for us! ]

[I also want to be cool today: But, such things as making rankings and anti-criminal data should not exist in the first place! ]

[Today I also want to be cool: the purpose of ranking is to earn money from fans; anti-criminal matters are the responsibility of public relations personnel; as for the data-this should obviously rely on the idol's own strength, how can I let fans help me make fakes? ]

[I also want to be cool today: Liangliang just said what a qualified actor should say. ]

All fans: "…"

Yao Bianliang said these words from the bottom of his heart.

Even the fan base was briefly quiet for a few seconds.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence.

Yao Bianliang looked intently, and saw a message from the group leader lying quietly in the center of the screen.

[Small fish don't eat fish: @今天also want to be cool, you are not a fake fan, are you? ]
