Yao Bianliang opened the Weibo trending topics, and a series of related entries immediately filled her screen.
#YaoBianliangBestActress#

...
A string of topics occupied nearly half of the trending list.

Yao Bianliang felt anxious, especially when she saw the words "Xiao Jin" appear on the screen, immediately giving her an ominous premonition.
She didn't look at the trending topics about herself—after all, she could easily guess how netizens would discuss her.
Yao Bianliang directly clicked on the trending topics about Yao Xinxin and Xiao Jin.
The top post was a video of Yao Xinxin delivering her tearful acceptance speech. She stood on stage, holding her trophy, almost crying with joy.
Ě ǹ_ú m a
"When I was trapped in despair and self-doubt from false accusations, it was Xiao Jin who reached out to me," she said. "She gave me the opportunity to work with Director Ryan, gave me a chance to start anew, and even gave me new goals and motivation to move forward."
"I often wonder what I would be like now without Xiao Jin..."
"Perhaps I would have completely left the industry, forever living in dark days, closing myself off, completely falling, never finding hope in life again."
Every word Yao Xinxin spoke was so sincere, enough to move anyone.

Yao Bianliang watched this video and couldn't help but massage her temples from a headache.
Especially when Yao Xinxin said that "Xiao Jin's arrival was like a beam of light shining on her in the darkness," she fell completely silent.
Еn̄ům̂ а̊_.ї d̃
So... her story with Yao Xinxin was actually this touching!
If she weren't directly involved, watching this video would have moved even her to tears.
The comment section was naturally full of discussions about this matter.
[Damn, where can we find such a good fan?]
[I'm crying, Xiao Jin helped Xinxin, and Xinxin didn't disappoint her. Is this what they call mutual devotion?]
[I once suffered from depression too, it's really hard to overcome... I have to say, Xiao Jin is truly an angel on earth.]

[I quickly followed Xiao Jin! I unilaterally declare that she is the goddess of us Xinxin fans!]
[Can previous commenters point me in the right direction? What's this fan's ID?]
[It's "TodayAlsoWanttoFlop," but I looked at her Weibo and she seems to be Yao Bianliang's anti-fan...]
When she saw her own name, Yao Bianliang felt a chill down her spine.
Indeed, Yao Xinxin hadn't revealed the fan's full ID, only using the nickname "Xiao Jin."
But inevitably, her words revealed quite a bit of information about this fan.
Е num̃ǎ . і̀ d
The power of netizens is boundless.
It hadn't even been on the trending topics for long, and someone had already dug up her account ID, with impressive speed.

"This won't do. If I let this continue, won't my main account also be exposed?" Yao Bianliang immediately became alert.
It wouldn't matter if her alternate account was exposed—at worst, she'd become known as Yao Xinxin's top fan.
She'd already been her own anti-fan leader, so why would she fear being her rival's fan leader?
The key issue now was that the fact that "TodayAlsoWanttoFlop" and Yao Bianliang were the same person could absolutely not be revealed.
Ѐñ um̄ а̊.і̂ d̄
With thoughts racing, Yao Bianliang didn't dare delay and immediately logged into her alternate account.
Her phone lagged for quite a while before a series of notification sounds rang out, with new messages constantly popping up, almost filling the screen.
[Ahhh, worshipping the great one!]
[Is this the highest level of celebrity chasing? Rich lady, please be my friend?]

[Are you Yao Bianliang's anti-fan?]
[I'm from Yao Xinxin's official fan club! Would you be interested in becoming the president of Yao Xinxin's fan club? We're all looking forward to your joining! If you're interested, add my WeChat: xxxxxx]
Еn u̇ m а̀
Yao Bianliang: "..."
There were too many messages. Yao Bianliang had to turn on Do Not Disturb mode and close her private messages, finally giving her overheating phone some relief.
At this point, the "TodayAlsoWanttoFlop" account had already grown from 80,000 followers to 90,000, and the number was still climbing.
Seeing this scene, Yao Bianliang's sense of unease grew stronger.
She didn't dare hesitate any longer and quickly deleted all her previous Weibo posts.
Whether they were supporting Yao Xinxin or criticizing Yao Bianliang—all of them were deleted.

"Fortunately, it's only been less than thirty minutes since it started trending," Yao Bianliang let out a slight sigh of relief.
Besides, unmasking someone takes quite a bit of time.
When she really calculated it, her exposure time should be less than ten minutes—everything was still salvageable.
Thanks to her timely reaction, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just her alternate account being exposed.
After some thought, Yao Bianliang used her alternate account to post a new Weibo and pinned it.
[TodayAlsoWanttoFlop v:
Еnû ṁ a
Hello everyone, thank you for your attention and love. As Xinxin's fan, I'm truly happy for her. I really didn't expect that she would mention and thank me at the award ceremony. For me, this is a tremendous surprise.
However, I am just an ordinary fan who only wants to quietly follow my idol. I have no intention of becoming a "big fan" or fan leader.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If you're following me just to get more latest news about Xinxin through me, then I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
I will be deactivating the "TodayAlsoWanttoFlop" account soon. I'm just an ordinary fan with no intention of becoming a public figure exposed to the masses. I hope everyone can understand.
Afterward, I will register a new account to continue supporting Xinxin. I hope she can go further in her career.]
The signature at the end of the text was "Xiao Jin," along with the date.

After posting this Weibo, the comment section immediately filled with many new messages and reposts.
But Yao Bianliang didn't wait any longer and directly applied to deactivate the account.
This amount of time was enough for netizens to screenshot her new Weibo.
She worried that if she kept the account active, new information might be leaked.

Sure enough, after she posted this text, the direction of the comments also improved effectively.
Netizens shared screenshots of her Weibo under related topics, and those who had been curious about "Xiao Jin" now restrained their actions.

[Fan Xiao Jin has already spoken, she doesn't want to be a big fan, so let's not cause her any trouble.]
[Yes, she's just an ordinary person. Sending private messages to harass her is going too far.]
[Let's give our rich lady some space, everyone calm down~]
Yao "Not-So-Ordinary" Bianliang looked at this scene and quietly sighed in relief.
Thankfully, things hadn't developed in the worst possible direction.
Her phone made a "ding-dong" sound, revealing a message from Yao Xinxin.

[Yao Xinxin: I'm sorry Xiao Jin, did I cause you trouble?]
[Yao Xinxin: I shouldn't have mentioned your nickname. I didn't expect those netizens would directly unmask you...]
[Yao Xinxin: I'm really sorry bows]
Yao Bianliang couldn't help but sigh.
If an ordinary fan saw their idol specifically thank them at an award ceremony, they would probably jump with joy.
Causing trouble? How could an idol publicly expressing gratitude possibly cause trouble!

But unfortunately, Yao Bianliang's identity was very special.
She knew very clearly that if her true identity was revealed, all her previous plans would become worthless.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
So she was forced to deactivate her account.
With things turning out this way, Yao Xinxin was clearly feeling very guilty, repeatedly apologizing to her. Yao Bianliang had to comfort her with several reassurances before Yao Xinxin felt somewhat better.
Yao Xinxin: "By the way, Xiao Jin, I need to tell you something else..."
Yao Bianliang was startled: "What is it?"
Ӗ nū m а. іd
Yao Xinxin: "My parents came to see me. They've recognized their previous mistakes and promised not to interfere with me in the future. I'm a bit hesitant..."
Yao Bianliang thought for a moment and understood.
Yes, no matter what, Yao Xinxin still yearned for her parents' love deep down.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Yao had always treated Yao Xinxin well, with very few arguments, which had only occurred recently.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Now that they had taken the initiative to apologize, her hesitation was normal.
Yao Bianliang actually hoped that Yao Xinxin would reconcile with the Yao family. This way, her enemy's strength would become stronger, providing more assurance for her path to obscurity.
Е̌n̈_u m a. ї d
However, considering Mr. and Mrs. Yao's character, Yao Bianliang ultimately didn't say anything like "family feuds shouldn't last overnight" or other fence-sitting phrases.
After some thought, she said: "You should make this decision yourself. I'm an outsider, so I won't meddle in your family affairs."
They chatted for a few more lines before ending the conversation.
Yao Bianliang put down her phone and looked at the night scene outside the window, feeling deeply emotional.
Her move to invest in Yao Xinxin had indeed been the right choice.
If it hadn't been for Yao Xinxin's sudden emergence, based on tonight's award ceremony situation, the name "Yao Bianliang" would definitely have trended across half the internet.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But now, even with Ling Huanxuan and Wen Xuan's double backstabbing, a large portion of netizens' attention was still focused on Yao Xinxin.
The spotlight on her, Yao Bianliang, had significantly diminished.
"I definitely can't let go of the Yao Xinxin line," Yao Bianliang secretly pondered.
She couldn't relax her vigilance with Zhou Fei and needed to continue helping Yao Xinxin guide public opinion.
As for herself, she also needed to find a way to reduce her popularity.
At least by the time the movie "Sigh of Floating Life" was released, she needed to completely eliminate the positive impact from the award ceremony.
Е ń ŭ ṁ а̀
Reality proved that the afterglow of the award ceremony lasted far longer than Yao Bianliang had imagined.
The ceremony had indeed ended, the awards had been presented, but netizens' memes were just beginning.

Three days later, one morning, Yao Bianliang opened her phone as usual to browse Weibo and found that a piece of news about her had topped the trending list.
"Reviewing the Entire Award Ceremony: From He Yanning to Wen Xuan, What Happened to Celebrities After Collaborating with Yao Bianliang?"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
What is this?
Wè b̂ n о̀ v е̄ l̊ Ѐnūm̆а̂
The article used a chronological approach to carefully list all the artists Yao Bianliang had collaborated with in recent years.
He Yanning and Mu Taozhi, whose acting had originally been terrible, improved their skills with her help;
Brother Long and others who had originally worked as extras in film studios were discovered by her keen eye for talent and finally turned their lives around;
Xu Yao, the male lead in "Spring Warmth, Heavy Dew," transformed from an unknown ordinary supporting actor into a household name;

As for Wen Xuan, Xia Hong, and others in "The Tianya Decree," they completed a magnificent transformation under Yao Bianliang's guidance, embarking on a new journey.
And not just actors.
Wе b̌ no̊v̊ е̂ ľ Е̇ n̊ ū m_а
Those directors and screenwriters also made leaping improvements after collaborating with Yao Bianliang.
[Crying, looking at it this way, Sister Liang is truly making efforts to increase the number of outstanding talents in the entertainment industry.]
[Too powerful! Even golden mentors aren't as impressive as Yao Bianliang. Everyone she guides becomes successful.]
[The rest are fine, but Wen Xuan and Ling Huanxuan directly won awards. I'm afraid only Yao Bianliang has this level of ability in the entire entertainment industry?]
[Sister Liang is really an all-around talent, and she doesn't keep anything to herself, simply too perfect to seem real.]
[Hmm... am I the only one curious about who will be the next lucky person cultivated by Yao Bianliang?]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[Let me shamelessly say, could Sister Liang please take a look at my Feifei? She has had several consecutive flops, crying...]
So, from some point onwards, the topic began to gradually shift.
Perhaps because of Wen Xuan and Ling Huanxuan's successive thanks at the award ceremony that thoroughly made Yao Bianliang a top-tier celebrity, or perhaps because the memes sparked netizens' energy, many fans rushed to leave messages under Yao Bianliang's Weibo.
[Begging Sister Liang to consider my Brother Yuan in your next drama. His acting is too bad; probably only you can save him.]
[Sister Liang, look at my Huihui! She's your fan and especially admires you. Soft, cute, knows how to cook soup and rice, and even warms the bed photo.jpg]
[What's that compared to mine? My brother can breathe fire, fly, and even does flower hand gestures—Sister Liang, look over here! flower hand gesture emoticon.jpg]
Е̌ǹ ů m̈ а.і̀ d
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Wait, has the entertainment industry become this cutthroat?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[Hahaha, has everyone forgotten about Luo Shuai? He also had a brief collaboration with Yao Bianliang and ended up completely flopping.]
[Dying of laughter, so Yao Bianliang not only has the potential to nurture and elevate others but also the ability to identify problematic artists?]
[Hmm, looking at it this way, I love this woman even more.]
For the next several days, every morning when Yao Bianliang woke up, she would receive a large number of private messages from fans.
W̄ ẽb̃ ñ öṽ е l̇ Еn ũ m_а́
Most were begging her to help elevate their favorite artists, and to show competitiveness, some even proactively offered compromising conditions.
Due to this reason, Yao Bianliang's number of followers began to rapidly increase, thoroughly breaking the 50 million mark.
Yao Bianliang deeply felt that these people had fundamentally misunderstood the cause-and-effect relationship.
This wasn't her elevating others at all—quite the contrary, it was these people coming to backstab her!

Yet in the end, this became her achievement.
Fortunately, with the passage of time, the popularity finally began to gradually subside.
Е n̊_úm а
And the filming progress of "Sigh of Floating Life" had also finally entered its final stages.
Looking at the calendar now, almost all the items on Yao Bianliang's densely packed schedule were marked with red checkmarks indicating completion.
Now, only the last item remained—
The review and release of the movie "Sigh of Floating Life."
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
There are quite a few preparatory tasks needed before a movie's release. Besides needing to report and submit for review, after obtaining the permits, applications must also be submitted to screening units.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Once the entire process is completed, it takes at least several dozen days.
Add to that the long post-production cycle for films, and from the completion of filming to the official release, it takes at least two to three months.
During this period, Yao Bianliang also needed to prepare well for her next task.
To achieve low box office returns for a film isn't actually difficult. Besides limiting the film's subject matter, she just needed to secure another crucial condition—
Screen share!
Screen share has a crucial impact on a film, to a certain extent determining a film's life or death.
Ẃ ē b n̂ ö_v́ е l Еnü_m̄ а̀
Sometimes, film directors use various emerging methods to secure higher screen shares.
Such as hyping, pleading poverty, roadshows with preview screenings, even kneeling to beg theaters for a slightly higher screen share.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
But now, what Yao Bianliang needed wasn't a high screen share.
On the contrary, she needed low screen share and low box office.
"Actually, 'Sigh of Floating Life,' this musical film, quite fits the characteristics of a low screen share film," Yao Bianliang thought thoughtfully.
The only purpose for theaters to introduce films is to make money and profit.
W̄ е́ bn o v ėl̊ Ѐ.ň ū_m̄_а̄
A film with no profit margin, no matter how good its quality or how great the work, still cannot obtain a good screen share.
And the musical film genre itself is too niche, with no market and even less profit margin.
This means it's destined not to get a high screen share and has a high probability of getting a heap of garbage time slots.
To understand the relevant information, Yao Bianliang specifically searched online for many cases about screen share.

Just last year during the Spring Festival period, an internationally renowned director collaborated with an actress of award-winning caliber to make a realistic tragedy that explored issues of marriage and childbirth.
Then, this film was boycotted by various theater chains, with a screen share of less than 2%.
Е n̆u̇ m a . і̃d
Even though the film received countless positive reviews, with the public calling for theaters to increase its screen share, it still had no effect whatsoever.
In the end, this film concluded with a dismal box office of just over 2 million yuan.
In stark contrast, as long as a film has a good screen share, even if it's just a bad film, the box office still won't be too low.
Yao Bianliang had an idea: "The urgent task now is to ensure this film gets the lowest possible screen share."
Indeed, musical films aren't considered a mainstream genre.
But with her name "Yao Bianliang" as a gimmick, it would definitely attract a large number of fans.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Yao Bianliang couldn't guarantee that theaters wouldn't give her a decent screen share for this reason.
"Perhaps I can reference the approach of that internationally renowned director from last year's Spring Festival season..."
Yao Bianliang quickly had an idea.
The reason that director's film had a low screen share, besides the film's theme issues, there was another very important reason—
He offended people.
Originally, even if the film's theme wasn't good, getting a screen share of around 3-5% shouldn't have been any problem.
Ё n̈u mа̇
But precisely because that director spoke carelessly and offended people.
This directly led to the screen share being squeezed, and even though the attendance rate was decent, it still ended miserably.

The system couldn't help but ask: "Host, are you really planning to use this method?"
Do you still remember what happened to the people you offended before!
Luo Shuai and Lu Yanchen were boycotted by the public and completely withdrew from the entertainment industry;
As for Ouyang Xiaoqing, it was even worse—his negative news was directly exposed, and he'll have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
W̌ ё b̄ n̂_о̇ v è l̃. Е̊n̂ù m a
Given all these previous incidents, the system really had no confidence.
Yao Bianliang sighed: "This time, I can't use the method of offending artists again."
Reality had proven that the artists in this entertainment circle were a mixed bunch. If she wasn't careful, she would step on a landmine, the risk was too great.
Moreover, a single artist doesn't have that much ability to influence screen share.

"The best approach is to offend capital."
Yao Bianliang's thoughts moved rapidly, and she already had a plan.
Е̂num̌a .і d
According to the original novel's setting, the Lu Group was the number one magnate in the country, all-powerful in the entertainment industry, able to do whatever they wanted.
This setting isn't very reasonable, after all, no country would allow a group to grow to such an extent.
However, to make the male lead prestigious enough, the Lu Group being the top magnate was inevitable.
So, the thinking became completely clear—
Let the Lu Group take action against her, thereby reducing the screen share.
In this way, forget about 100 million in box office, she might not even reach 10 million!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The system questioned: "Host, how are you sure the Lu Group will definitely target you?"
Lu Yanchen indeed hated Yao Bianliang to the bone, but from the current situation, Lu Yanchen's say in the Lu family was far less than in the original novel.
Wanting him to convince others to make a great effort against Yao Bianliang probably wouldn't be easy.
Yao Bianliang's lips curved slightly: "Personal grudges indeed aren't enough to make them act... but what about visible interests?"
"If this film becomes a hit, it will greatly damage the Lu Group's interests, and they probably won't stand idly by."
The system was slightly startled: "Host, you have a plan?"
E ňū m̂á
"Of course," Yao Bianliang's eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness. "I've already found out that the Lu Group is currently busy with two major projects—"
"One is the fourth season of 'Good Drama PK Competition,' and the other is 'Best Music Producer.' If either project fails, it would be a heavy blow to them."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"And in my hands, I happen to have F-rating contestants from 'Best Music Producer.'"
According to the original novel's description, the funds the Lu Group invested in these two projects were far more than anyone imagined.
According to their plan, they wanted to "create gods" in these two shows.
—Completely elevate traffic stars, then crazily fleece the fans, extracting more money from fans' pockets.
Ẃе b̊ n̊о̀ṽ êl Еṅ ü m а̌.
To achieve this goal, they invested huge sums in pre-production and promotion.
If the projects ultimately failed, they would face not only enormous financial losses, but all their subsequent plans would also become bubbles.
Such a blow, even the Lu Group would probably need a long time to recover.
"I understand." The system seemed to have thought of something, a flash of insight.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Host, you mean that if a musical film created by all F-rating contestants becomes a hit, the variety show 'Best Music Producer' would undoubtedly become a joke!"
"So, to prove that this variety show's ratings aren't inflated, they definitely wouldn't let this musical film go unmanaged."
Ẇêbńо̇v̆еl̆ Е̇n̄úm̆ а
Yao Bianliang nodded, her eyes showing some appreciation: "Exactly."
'Best Music Producer' carries the banner of fairness, justice, and openness, claiming to discover musical talents and deliver more outstanding talents to the Chinese music industry.
If at this time, Yao Bianliang recruited a batch of F-rating contestants, gave them generous remuneration and treatment, letting them participate in the production of a musical film, and then made this film a blockbuster...
Then their 'Best Music Producer' show would undoubtedly be backlashed by public opinion.
So, Yao Bianliang actually didn't need to do anything.
If something unexpected really happened, the Lu Group would definitely be more anxious than her.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even without Yao Bianliang taking action, the Lu Group would be busy helping her reduce the screen share.
She just needed to sit back and wait.
Thinking of this, Yao Bianliang's finger lightly tapped the desktop, her eyes revealing some anticipation.
Although the original novel was a brainless sweet romance, with characters of not very high intelligence, the Lu Group was after all the number one conglomerate that dominated everything!
With their help, wouldn't her task of becoming obscure be easily completed this time?
Yao Bianliang flipped through the calendar in her hand and finally took a red pen and circled one of the dates.
Ėn̆ um а̃ .і_ḋ
—April 1st, April Fools' Day.
Releasing a traditional Chinese melancholic love musical film on a Western holiday full of humor, teasing, and mischief.

This was truly the most appropriate choice possible.
