Chapter 117: The 117th day of being popular
"So here, I want to discuss these issues with everyone -"
"1. Is crowdfunding, vote manipulation, and task completion for idol rankings a correct approach?"
"2. What kind of healthy relationship should exist between fans and idols?"
"3. Does Yao Bianliang's rise represent a signal?"
"I believe that for the first two questions, most of you already have answers in your minds."
"Currently, most of these ways of idol chasing are unhealthy and incorrect. Fans have become tools exploited by celebrities, burdened with tasks that do not belong to them. At the same time, they have also become tools for capital to make money, repeatedly being exploited."
"The essence of idol chasing has changed, and this activity has lost its original intention."
As he narrated, the barrage of comments started to discuss.
[Indeed, if the entertainment industry went back ten years, there wouldn't be all these twists and turns. It has already turned sour now.]
[I truly feel that some crowdfunding activities are like pyramid schemes, especially brainwashing.]Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
[After watching the video, I'm truly shocked. I can't believe there are celebrities like Yao Bianliang in the entertainment industry.]
[Laughing to death, literally paying while kneeling, fans are the most powerless party in the world.]
[Yao Bianliang is truly the best among the new generation actors that I have seen, good acting skills, positive values, and so dedicated!]
Feng Shiyuan spoke, "So, let's go back to the original topic - why did Yao Bianliang rise to fame? In fact, the answer is already obvious."
"In this big mire of the entertainment industry, Yao Bianliang is different from everyone else. She is not a product of star-making by capital, nor a tool for capital to make money. In fact, she opposes capital."
"While the mainstream of the entertainment industry is going crazy with outward expansion, she is starting to focus inward; while everyone is encouraging fans to vote and spend money, she refuses to profit from her fans... Her actions are going against the mainstream of the entertainment industry."
"Yao Bianliang's rise signifies a signal - we are fed up with those flawed celebrities and capital's relentless exploitation."
"When we vote for her, it's actually a form of rebellion. We want to show capital what kind of celebrities we, the public, really want!"
These words struck a chord with everyone.
[Wow, the topic has been elevated.]
[That's right, there are too few celebrities like Yao Bianliang.]
[The content creator hit the nail on the head. I'm also one of the voters for Yao Bianliang, without any other meaning, just hoping that the entertainment industry can have more celebrities like her.]
[Hahaha, guys, Yao Bianliang's votes are already pushing her to the top.]
Training a bunch of reliable artists to enter the entertainment industry? Forget it, this was not something she could consider at all.
There are many ways to achieve goals, and Yao Bianliang thought with this in mind, she didn't do anything else and just lay on her bed waiting for the prompt sound from the system.
Tick-tock, the time finally reached eight o'clock. With a soft ding, the mechanical voice from the system rang in her ears.
[Ding, task deadline has arrived]
[This task:
Participate in the "Good Drama PK Competition" variety show playoffs, receive no more than 5 votes from the judges and no more than 5 million votes from the audience; eventually, be eliminated from the variety show and successfully cool down.]
[Completion status: Not completed]
[Reward status: Only received participation reward]
[Task message:
In this task, you did indeed make a more thorough plan.
But as the saying goes, it's not that I'm afraid of god-like teammates, I'm afraid of pig-like opponents.
In everyone's imagination, in the end, not only did you not successfully become "cold", but you also received countless praises and adoration.
From a certain perspective, you indeed have the kind of luck that the entire entertainment industry looks up to. This is a very rare experience.
Considering that you have failed two tasks in a row, the system has especially opened a side task channel for you.
The content of the side task is very simple, specially designed for hosts of your level~
As long as the host successfully completes the side task, you can get a two-month vacation to take a short break from your heavy workload.
Hope the host will rally and move forward, and achieve brilliant success!]
Yao Bianliang: "......"
Very well, it's another task message full of sarcasm, giving her a familiar taste.
However, the side task is a completely new thing.
If she can successfully complete it, she can get a brief chance to catch her breath. She doesn't have to struggle in a 007-style work mode every day.
Yao Bianliang's mind became active.
She doesn't lack money now, she just wants a laid-back life like a salted fish.
Even if it's just a two-month vacation, it's enough to make her feel happy.
