Chapter 147: 147th day of being popular
Inside the Hodi Entertainment Studio.
Zhou Fei looked at the tasks assigned to him by Assistant Chen and fell into a long silence.
Pay attention to the direction of public opinion, especially on platforms like Weibo, Baidu, Zhihu, etc. Ensure the public knows how depressing and unsuitable Yao Bianliang's new drama is for holiday viewing. If there is any deviation in the public sentiment, report it immediately.
"This..." Zhou Fei's expression gradually turned serious, and he began speculating on something unfavorable.
Since joining this studio, he has received a few tasks, including "monitor favorable public opinions about Yao Bianliang and immediately debunk false information" and "monitor fan groups and prohibit Yao Bianliang fans from promoting everywhere."
But now, the direction of these tasks has become increasingly clear and blatant.
They were working against Yao Bianliang!
Zhou Fei realized this issue, and other employees expressed similar doubts.
"By the way, who do you think is the boss of our studio? Even the assigned tasks are strange and secretive," a buzz-cut guy spoke, his eyes filled with gossip.
"Could it be Yao Bianliang? All our tasks are related to her," Xia Yin whispered.
"At first, I also thought the boss was Yao Bianliang," a chubby guy scratched his head, "but now it seems that something doesn't add up..."
Which celebrity would dislike having too much popularity?
Does telling every staff not to watch their own drama make sense?
Zhou Fei sighed, "Now it seems impossible that Yao Bianliang is the one who opened this studio. After all, all our tasks are not beneficial to her."
Everyone found his words reasonable. They looked at Zhou Fei with thoughtful gazes.
Zhou Fei paused as if realizing the harsh reality and finally spoke with a hint of sadness, "This studio is probably opened against Yao Bianliang's family"
Yao Bianliang's family?
All the employees were stunned, as they had not considered this possibility.
After all, initially, the assigned tasks were related to Yao Bianliang, but most of them involved debunking rumors and paying attention to fan groups. They even once speculated that Yao Bianliang had opened the studio herself.
However, upon reflection, there were various doubts about these speculations.
Zhou Fei continued, "We are indeed debunking rumors, but all those rumors are in favor of Yao Bianliang."
"We are indeed guiding Yao Bianliang's fans, but the direction of the guidance has not helped increase Yao Bianliang's popularity in the slightest."
"And now, they have even issued instructions to pay attention to public opinion and reduce the heat. The truth is obvious, isn't it?"
Everyone: "!!"
Yes, it wouldn't make sense if this studio were opened by Yao Bianliang herself. But if Yao Bianliang's family opened the studio, then everything seems to make sense?
"Is it true?" the chubby guy scratched his head, "Did we actually join Yao Bianliang's family company? We can't be this unlucky, right?"
Xia Yin also hesitantly spoke, "Although Fei Ge's analysis makes sense, I still feel... this shouldn't be Yao Bianliang's family."Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Zhou Fei glanced at everyone and sighed sadly, "Do you think I want this to be true? I don't want it either."
You see, he is Yao Bianliang's ultimate fan!
But now, this person who claims to be Yao Bianliang's ultimate fan might have probably... joined her family's company.
Who could be happy about this?
[Hodi Entertainment Studio Chat Group:]
[We'll need everyone to work a bit harder these days. Please reply with "received" after seeing the notification in the group.]
Just a second ago, he was repenting for working against his idol. But in the next second, he learned that the boss was actually his idol, which was an absurd revelation!
So, why would the idol suppress herself? Could it be that she wanted to be cold?
As soon as this thought arose, Zhou Fei immediately dismissed it.
How could he think of such an absurd reason? It was simply impossible.
The idol must have had deeper motives for doing so!
He just hadn't realized it before.
Yao Bianliang felt slightly uncomfortable with the title and said, "You don't need to call me boss, just call me Sister Liang."
She paused for a moment and remembered something, then turned to Assistant Chen and asked, "By the way, is everyone clear about the tasks for these two days?"
Assistant Chen replied, "Yes, I've already mentioned it in the work group chat."
The others nodded, expressing their determination to diligently fulfill the work asignment.
Yao Bianliang felt relieved.
She had originally planned to appear at the studio and check everyone's progress. Since everything seemed to be going well, there was no need to stay any longer.
Several employees chatted with Yao Bianliang and gradually discovered that she had no airs despite being a celebrity.
Although everyone was puzzled about why Yao Bianliang would suppress herself, they didn't dare ask for various reasons.
Only Zhou Fei gathered the courage to ask for her autograph before Yao Bianliang and Assistant Chen left.
After Yao Bianliang and Assistant Chen left, everyone finally regained their composure.
Zhou Fei excitedly held the autographed notebook and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on it, treating it like a priceless treasure.
Someone looked at Zhou Fei's expression and couldn't help but mockingly laugh, "Fei ge, didn't you just vehemently argue that this company was Yao Bianliang's opponent?"
"That's right, Xia Yin tried to refute you, but you didn't agree."
Xia Yin moved her lips, her face turning slightly red, unsure of how to respond, so she silently pretended to look at her phone.
Zhou Fei's thick-skinned response came, "Oh, did I say that just now? When did I say that this is Yao Bianliang's opponent?"
Under the indescribable gazes of everyone, Zhou Fei calmly sat back in his chair with a satisfied smile.
"I knew it, my idol Yao Bianliang is different," Zhou Fei changed his tone, "On the surface, she is suppressing herself as if she were her own opponent. But in reality, there must be a deeper meaning behind her actions."
Everyone contemplated, looking at Zhou Fei with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Zhou Fei organized his thoughts and finally felt that he had a good answer to the question that had been perplexing him.
Zhou Fei said, "Firstly, Sister Liang asked us to refute those favorable comments about her, which is obviously to prevent excessive praise from her opponents! Think about it, once these unrealistic comments spread and the star herself doesn't have such abilities, wouldn't her image collapse? This risk must be avoided."
As everyone pondered, it seemed to make sense.
Although they were all positive evaluations, rumors were still rumors, and some comments were exaggerated.
Therefore, it was indeed necessary for them to clarify the situation.
Zhou Fei continued, raising his second finger, "Secondly, not allowing fans to promote her everywhere is also easily understandable. Some fans promoting her without considering the occasion can greatly harm her public image and easily attract criticism. By doing so, Sister Liang not only regulates the behavior of her fans but also benefits her future development."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It made sense. If the star herself were exceptional, she wouldn't need fans to work hard to promote her, as new fans would naturally join.
From this perspective, restraining fans didn't seem unreasonable anymore.
