You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular

Understood, that's good.

Zhou Fei's abilities were never outstanding, but now that she has provided oversight in the overall direction, she is confident there will be no major issues.

She entrusted the remaining tasks to Zhou Fei and was confident in him.

Inside a conference room, the atmosphere was solemn.

A middle-aged woman, dressed professionally, sat in the front row, facing the people in the conference room, and finished reading the guidelines for pandemic precautions one by one.

Afterward, she looked at everyone and said, "According to the instructions, we need to shoot pandemic-related promotional videos in the near future and conduct widespread reporting and promotion. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

This matter shouldn't be delayed any longer and should be dealt with promptly.

Soon, everyone began to put forward suggestions. Some suggested aerial shots of the current situation in hospitals, street interviews, the production of educational videos about epidemic prevention, and so on.

The woman nodded occasionally and instructed her secretary to take notes.

At that moment, a young man on the left said, "Actually, besides promotional videos, we might also be able to utilize films and TV series for promotion."

Using films and TV series for promotion?

That was something no one had considered.

However, upon closer consideration, as they were currently in a crisis, the entrance of a positive and uplifting film or TV series into the public's view would undoubtedly have a significant impact.

"It's indeed feasible," someone nodded, "but there probably aren't many such films and TV series."

In reality, "not many" was already quite an understatement. The truth was that there were very few if any at all.

After all, in today's film and television industry, most productions related to doctors and nurses were sweet romantic dramas. Handsome doctor male leads doted on the female leads, creating various romantic scenes that kept the audience hooked.

There were likely few films and TV series that focused on medical themes and positive energy.

A low murmur filled the conference room, and some shook their heads slightly, feeling that the feasibility of this proposal was too low.

However, some people began to think of recently released films and TV series, their faces showing thoughtful expressions.

The woman sitting in the main seat contemplated for a moment and finally accepted the proposal.

She said, "Alright, let's look into it. If there are indeed suitable films or TV series, and if they can successfully pass the approval process, then we can promote and publicize them."

That night, as the lights illuminated the surroundings, a banquet took place in a hall on the first floor of a hotel in the western suburbs. Desserts and drinks adorned the long tables, music played in the background, and the atmosphere was lively, complemented by a central fountain.

"Lou Shao, I propose a toast to you."

"Lou Shao, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

"I heard that the variety show invested by Lou Shao has been a huge success. Congratulations!"

Lou Yanchen sat at the head of the table, leisurely swaying his wine glass. He listened to everyone's compliments with a calm expression, but his mind seemed elsewhere.

Yao Xinxin's drama gained high popularity, while Yao Bianliang's work had shockingly low viewership. This should have been a cause for joy.

However, Yao Xinxin's tarnished reputation had left her spiritless for several days, which worried Lou Yanchen.

He didn't conceal his emotions, and everyone noticed his lack of enthusiasm, wisely choosing not to approach him.

Finally, the program director found an opportunity and sat beside Lou Yanchen.

"Lou Shao, we've been vigorously promoting Yao Xinxin's short drama recently. So far, it has made the top trending list over thirty times," the director rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

Lou Yanchen responded with an acknowledging sound but didn't say anything.

This time, he did make quite a bit of money.

In the entertainment industry, money comes quickly. One can obtain a significant amount of funds with just a fundraising event.

Lou Yanchen received a considerable share of the profits as an artist and an investor in the program.

But money had become just a number for someone like him, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Moreover, following your instructions, we haven't given any attention to Yao Bianliang's drama," the director continued, "up until now, apart from the viewers and fans of 'The Great Drama PK Competition,' most people are unaware of any connection between Yao Bianliang's drama and our program."

This was done to prevent the program from diverting attention from Yao Xinxin's drama.

Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared in Lou Yanchen's eyes.

The program team had indeed done well to achieve this.

"Well done," Lou Yanchen nodded slightly.

After all, if it weren't for Yao Bianliang's drama, Xinxin wouldn't have been subjected to such severe criticism from netizens.

If he lets Yao Bianliang go again this time, there's no point for him, Lou Yanchen, to continue in his position.

On the other side, a group of entertainment industry insiders gathered together and discussed the matter.

"In my opinion, Yao Bianliang is really finished this time."

"She offended Lou Yanchen, and she's not talented enough. It's no wonder she's becoming irrelevant."

"Ah, before she had He Yanning and Mu Taozhi supporting her, and her popularity was once at the top. But now, she's ruined her good hand, and no one is interested in her anymore."

"Who told her to stubbornly insist on acting in a realistic-themed drama?"

"Tsk, not only that, she refused to promote her own short drama."

"I estimate that if she continues with this kind of approach, she'll completely fade away in less than a month."

As the conversation grew more intense, suddenly, someone caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of their eye.

The person wasn't entirely sure and closed their eyes, then reopened them to confirm they hadn't mistaken the identity. Immediately, they were startled.

"President Mo?"

Upon hearing their suppressed exclamation, the others turned their heads as well.

When they saw the person, they were equally surprised.

Mo Yougan, President Mo, the CEO of Kuiqian Entertainment, was a rising star in the entertainment industry. Moreover, his father had an extraordinary background as a renowned investor with a net worth of billions.

President Mo and Lou Yanchen were competitors, and it was rumored that the two never got along. So how did President Mo suddenly appear at Lou Yanchen's banquet?

The commotion here drew the attention of many, and everyone's gaze shifted over. Even Lou Yanchen, sitting in the centre, raised his eyes to look.

Upon seeing Mo Yougan, Lou Yanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through them.

This place was a side hall of a five-star hotel, and any perceptive person could tell that a banquet was taking place there.

For no apparent reason, why would this person come to his banquet? He hadn't invited him.

Just as Lou Yanchen stood up, preparing to take action, Mo Yougan fell silent for a moment and finally spoke, "I was passing by. Can you make way?"

...Passing by?
