Chapter 7
Hearing these words, Yao Bianliang was completely stunned.
What on earth—she had gone viral?
That was impossible!
The short drama's plot was boring, the protagonist's appearance was concerning, there were no traffic stars, no bot armies—how could it possibly go viral!
In that moment, Yao Bianliang even suspected Yu Yiqing was joking with her.
E̊nù.m̄ á . і̇d̀
Yu Yiqing: "Sister Liang, look at the content I forwarded to you. I knew it—an eighteenth-tier actress like you with good acting skills and high attractiveness would definitely become popular!"
Yao Bianliang: "...Alright, I'll check it now."

Yao Bianliang ended the call with disbelief, feeling a heaviness in her heart.
"No, there must be some mistake..."
She took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and first clicked on the "Good Drama PK Competition" official website.
Her finger habitually moved to scroll to the bottom of the page, but she froze when she saw the familiar drama title.

"This drama actually shot up to TOP 6?!"
Yao Bianliang's eyes widened dramatically.
It was important to note that everyone in their drama was an eighteenth-tier nobody with no fans to vote for them.
This meant these votes weren't accumulated through money, but represented actual viewers.

Calculated this way, ranking at TOP 6 was already a terrifying achievement.
Moreover, the vote count was still rising continuously, showing signs of charging toward the TOP 3.

Yao Bianliang opened the short drama, and the video began playing automatically. She quickly scanned through the comments section.
[Sigh, if I had worked as hard as the female lead back then, perhaps I wouldn't have these regrets]
[Waaah, finally got the admission letter, it wasn't easy]
[In this world, how many people actually date male and female gods? Most are just ordinary people]
[Thank you director, thank you to the actors in this drama
This is the youth in my heart, thank you for portraying the youth of ordinary people]

Among these short comments, there were occasionally some longer reviews.
These people provided detailed explanations on everything from the drama's concept, filming techniques, and presentation forms to the actors' performances and performance details.
Anyway, to summarize in one sentence—
This was an excellently produced, sincere short drama that could evoke resonance and reflection!
Yao Bianliang was dumbfounded.
"No, what does this mean? Shouldn't this be a completely boring short drama with no selling points?"
Е̃n ǔm̊ а̃
Yao Bianliang felt her knowledge was failing her.
Before she acted in this drama, everyone told her that this kind of campus drama without romance would have no market and would definitely flop.

She believed it, so she played the female lead.
—And then the drama went viral.
This was simply ridiculous!
After scrolling through the comments section for a long time, Yao Bianliang finally found some discussions about romance elements.

[Finished watching the drama, it's very good, but where is the male lead?]
[Male lead? Does this drama have a male lead?]
[Tsk, I noticed that academic genius male god from the beginning, thinking this male lead was my type;
But until the end of the short drama, he never appeared again!]

At this point, the plot had just reached the part where the admission letter arrived.
Comments scrolled by quickly, with a few viewers asking about the male lead, while more viewers were sending congratulations to the female lead.

Then...
A notice board labeled "Outstanding Student List" flashed by.
[Sisters, he's here! The male lead appeared]
[The male lead's name is on the list of outstanding students admitted to 985 universities!]
[Waaah, I didn't expect the male lead would still have screen time, so touching]
[The male lead actually appeared in the ending, and even got a name! Everyone type "tears in my eyes" on screen]

[Hahahahaha, are the sisters above trying to make me die laughing?]
[I just love this kind of plot. Why must a campus female lead have a romance?
My Liangliang is just so different, uniquely beautiful!]
Yao Bianliang: "......"
Good grief, it was one thing for these people to praise the drama, but why were they also praising her as the female lead?
Moreover, judging by this response, she, an eighteenth-tier nobody, actually had fans now.

Everyone was laughing under this comment.
But Yao Bianliang couldn't laugh at all; she was about to cry.

"This is bad, truly bad."
Yao Bianliang took a deep breath and, with one last hope, logged into her main Weibo account.
After her phone went ding-dong for a while, she finally managed to log in successfully.
What she saw made her vision go black—
Еn u̇m̀ ã . і́ d̆
Eighteen thousand Weibo followers!
And this number was still rapidly climbing.
Yao Bianliang suspected that at this rate, she wouldn't just pass the preliminary selection smoothly, she might even squeeze into the top ranks of the individual voting list.
She scrolled down to look at her Weibo posts.

Her latest Weibo was a still from the drama, showing her wearing black-framed glasses, with freckles on her face, and a stiff bob hairstyle.
Her originally high attractiveness had become ordinary after this styling.

Yao Bianliang liked this still very much and had even used it as her Weibo profile picture.
Unexpectedly, now netizens were expressing their love for this photo.
[Haha, little freckles is really cute]
[Is this the actress who played Zhang Xiaozhi? Her name is Yao Bianliang, sounds quite nice]
[I'm here! Captivated by sister's acting skills, truly strong]
[To be fair, this appearance is indeed very ordinary, but with the character's charm, I instantly liked her]

[This drama portrays the youth of ordinary people, if the protagonist's appearance was too beautiful, it wouldn't match the original intention.
Yao Bianliang's appearance can be said to be just right]

The comments section was full of praise, and what's more, Yao Bianliang even saw several people calling her "wife."
Yao Bianliang: "......"
This was ridiculous.

Just before she fell asleep last night, everything was still normal.
But after waking up, the situation had completely changed.

Their group had no money for promotion, let alone traffic driving. If someone said these were all organic viewers, Yao Bianliang wouldn't believe it.
Following these people's IDs, she checked their follow lists and finally found the original Weibo post.
"'Brother Feng Talks Film and TV'... so our group was picked up by a big influencer?"
Yao Bianliang finally understood what was happening.
W̆ е̃ b̃ nо ṽ е́ l̂ Е̂ n ù m̀ӓ
Last night, this content creator called Brother Feng was livestreaming and happened to watch their group's short drama.
The livestream received an enthusiastic response, and afterward, many people voluntarily voted and promoted for their group, which boosted the drama's popularity.
Now, more and more people were seeing their group's short drama, creating a positive cycle, and naturally the drama exploded in popularity.
Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched, feeling speechless.

Everything was fine—why would a big content creator choose to livestream a short drama made by their eighteenth-tier small group?!
Now the short drama was viral. As the female lead of the short drama, she naturally became popular too.
Ӗñ ũ mа̀
"But come to think of it..."
"Even without this big influencer's recommendation, this short drama going viral was just a matter of time."
Yao Bianliang murmured.
After the initial shock, she understood.
Content creator Brother Feng's recommendation only accelerated the process of the short drama going viral; it didn't play a decisive role.
The reason the short drama could resonate with millions of viewers was due to its own strength, not one influencer's opinion.

With this thought, Yao Bianliang became even more confused.
"This doesn't make sense. If viewers all think this drama is well-produced and its quality far surpasses other short dramas, why didn't it successfully go viral in the original novel?"
She remembered clearly that at this point, the drama that should have been trending all over the internet was Yao Xinxin's "Youth With You Is Sweet," not "To Our Youth."
After this event, Director Cheng Liuhui was even eliminated.
But now, Cheng Liuhui not only wasn't eliminated, but had turned things around with this drama, transforming from an ignored small director into a hot new talent.
"Something's not right, I must have missed some variable..."
W е̊b ń ӧ v.е l̀ Е̌ń u̇ m̆â
After thinking hard without figuring it out, Yao Bianliang simply opened her chat interface with Cheng Liuhui.
Among her 99+ unread messages, many were from Cheng Liuhui, all talking about the new drama going viral.

Yao Bianliang skipped the earlier messages and directly typed her question.
"Brother Hui, I've had a question I've wanted to ask you."
"If I hadn't joined your team back then, what would you have planned to do?"
After sending the message, Yao Bianliang didn't expect Cheng Liuhui to reply immediately.
W̊ eb nоv̇е̄ l Enûm a
After all, with the new drama's rising popularity, Cheng Liuhui, as the director, must have received more congratulations from various parties than she had.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the message was sent, Cheng Liuhui replied immediately.
Cheng Liuhui: "You're finally checking messages! Our new drama has gone viral, and it's really thanks to you joining. Thank you, Liangliang."
Seeing Cheng Liuhui's instant reply, Yao Bianliang reasonably suspected he had been specifically waiting for her message.

Cheng Liuhui continued: "If you hadn't joined my team back then... I think I probably would have revised the script."
Yao Bianliang was slightly stunned: "What?"
Е̃nu m̄ ǎ
Revised the script?
Yes, when they first met, Cheng Liuhui had indeed said something like this.
Cheng Liuhui: "'To Our Youth' didn't conform to the mainstream market, and the lead actress needed to wear ugly makeup, so no contestants were willing to perform."
"To be honest, before you contacted me, I had already thought about giving up and planned to increase the male lead's screen time, changing the script into a sweet campus romance."
Saying this, Cheng Liuhui also felt quite emotional.
"If it weren't for your participation, 'To Our Youth' might have become completely different, ultimately becoming just another mainstream sweet youth romance."

Yao Bianliang: "......"
So that's where the problem was!
At this moment, Yao Bianliang finally understood.
Without her, Cheng Liuhui would likely have changed the script's main storyline. This change completely violated the director's original intention, and the outcome would definitely not have been good.
So in the end, "To Our Youth" didn't make a splash, and Cheng Liuhui was eliminated ingloriously.
"So in the end, this is all my fault?" Yao Bianliang was on the verge of tears.

She joined Group 10 to flop.
As a result, Group 10 went viral because of her participation.

What kind of situation was this?!
Yao Bianliang was speechless, staring at Cheng Liuhui's words of gratitude with lifeless eyes, completely distressed.
She had really been blind back then to think Cheng Liuhui was her dream director.
Where was this guy's brain malfunctioning? He was clearly a genius!
Е̃núm à . і̄ d
"Ah, forget it..." Yao Bianliang leaned back in her chair, resigned.
It seemed this time, her popularity wouldn't likely cool down.
She now needed to quickly find a way to minimize the impact as much as possible.

"What did you say? Yao Bianliang's popularity can't be suppressed?"
When Yao Xinxin heard this news, she was completely shocked.
Е̇n̊ǔm̄ а̇
She had just finished shooting an announcement and returned home, planning to enjoy a brief moment of leisure.
Suddenly receiving her assistant's call, Yao Xinxin frowned, instinctively disbelieving.
"Sister Xinxin, after our efforts during this period, your relationship with Yao Bianliang wasn't exposed and only spread in a small circle for a while," the assistant sighed, "but Yao Bianliang's popularity—we really can't suppress it anymore."
"Yao Bianliang is just an eighteenth-tier nobody, and Group 10's drama is just a terrible production," Yao Xinxin said. "Suppressing her popularity is just a small matter—what's so difficult about it?"
The assistant looked troubled, stammering: "Sister Xinxin, you might not know..."
"Group 10's short drama has gone viral."
