Chapter 94
At the production site, Yao Bianliang sat expressionlessly in the main seat.
Others sat around her, their eyes filled with delight, looking at Yao Bianliang with admiration.
"Hilarious, that Ouyang Xiaoqing even posted on Weibo to make subtle jabs at us. Didn't expect him to crash and burn now, did he?"
"So Sister Liang rejected Ouyang Xiaoqing back then because of this matter."
"Ouyang has hit a brick wall this time! Always riding on other artists' fame to boost his popularity, now he's had his past exposed by netizens."
Wе̂ b̀ n̈ о̃v е́ l̈ Е́_ǹu.m̆ a
"As expected of Sister Liang. She let Ouyang Xiaoqing jump around for so long because she was waiting for this moment."
If Ouyang Xiaoqing could withstand investigation, that would be one thing. The problem was, he absolutely couldn't stand up to scrutiny!

Actually, it wasn't just him—most of Ansheng Entertainment's artists couldn't withstand this kind of background digging.
Moreover, this time it wasn't just netizens doing deep investigations; some paparazzi and fan site administrators had also come forward with revelations.
Everyone in the production team was happy, with only Yao Bianliang feeling heavy-hearted.
Everyone thought she had known about Ouyang Xiaoqing's background all along. Though she couldn't produce evidence, she wasn't afraid to confront him directly.

But Yao Bianliang knew that wasn't the case at all!
She had no prior knowledge of Ouyang Xiaoqing's scandals. In fact, she was the last person to find out after everyone else already knew.
"Why did Ouyang Xiaoqing have to follow Luo Shuai's example and mess around?" Yao Bianliang felt utterly speechless.
By now, she no longer wanted to encounter any artist from Ansheng Entertainment. The facts proved that everyone from Ansheng Entertainment was incompetent!

All of them were useless opponents.
After reading the online exposés, Yao Bianliang finally learned that on the night before the audition, Ouyang Xiaoqing had visited a nightclub.

She wasn't sure why he went to the nightclub that day—perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps... he frequented such places so often that it happened to coincide with his audition date.
Regardless, Ouyang Xiaoqing had been thoroughly exposed.
Because just a few days earlier, this nightclub's headquarters had been raided, making it impossible to cover up.
Even a fan site admin came forward to confirm this revelation—Ouyang Xiaoqing had come to the audition location directly from the nightclub.
The fan site admin decided to come forward with this information because of Yao Bianliang.
Her original words were—

"I think Sister Liang is right. The most important thing for a public figure is character. As a fan, even if an idol has excellent professional skills, we can't support them if they have poor character!"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
No, she didn't, she hadn't.
This world truly had profound misunderstandings about her.
By now, even a randomly selected fan site admin could so thoroughly misinterpret her meaning.
The Ouyang Xiaoqing incident caused a chain reaction. After the nightclub incident, people began focusing on his company and discovered that many of his companies had issues as well.
Еnũ m̄ а̀
Fabricated business transactions, inflated assets, using inside information to trade securities and futures—these and many other issues were too numerous to count.
Now, Ouyang Xiaoqing had not only failed to ride on her popularity but had also had his past exposed.

Even if he didn't go to prison like Luo Shuai, he would face huge fines and contract breach penalties. It would be almost impossible for him to continue in the entertainment industry.
Yao Bianliang felt depressed, but around her, the discussions continued.
Someone couldn't help saying: "I guess from now on, few people will dare to confront Sister Liang or try to capitalize on her popularity, right?"
Others nodded in agreement.
W e b̂ n о v е̌ l Е n̊ u m̊ а
"That's right. Which celebrity doesn't have some scandal or another?"
Anyone who confronted Yao Bianliang or became involved with her would risk having their scandals exposed at the slightest misstep.
First Luo Shuai, then Ouyang Xiaoqing—these were bloody lessons.
If any more celebrities wanted to provoke Yao Bianliang, they would have to carefully weigh whether taking such a huge risk for a bit of popularity was worth it.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who else dares to put down Sister Liang for attention," Wen Xuan nodded in agreement.
As she spoke, her red lips curved slightly upward, her eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Е̃ ǹ uṁ.а̀
Having spent so much time in the production team, Wen Xuan had become increasingly comfortable calling Yao Bianliang "Sister Liang," gradually being assimilated by the rest of the team.
At this moment, she had apparently forgotten that not long ago, she too had engaged in putting down Yao Bianliang.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Wen Xuan seemed to make a lot of sense.
If things continued like this, everyone would become cautious around her, and no one would dare to oppose her, would they?
What was happening?!

For the rest of the day, apart from concentrating during filming, Yao Bianliang was somewhat absent-minded at other times.
"The Tianya Decree" was already halfway through production, and she needed to prepare for the public reaction when the new drama was released.
"Whatever happens, this time I must avoid Ansheng Entertainment!"
When Yao Bianliang thought of Ansheng Entertainment, she felt her teeth itch with hatred.
Ansheng Entertainment was incompetent at everything except scandals. Yao Bianliang recalled the miserable experiences she had when confronting Ansheng Entertainment and felt deeply saddened.
This opponent was truly too incompetent.
Ѐ ṅu mа
No matter when "The Tianya Decree" was released or who the competing titles were, they absolutely must not clash with Ansheng Entertainment's dramas.
Of course, she also needed to avoid those artists who didn't abide by the law.

"But in this world, aren't there too many celebrities who don't abide by the law?" Yao Bianliang frowned worriedly. "Picking almost anyone results in someone unreliable."
After some thought, she sent a message to Assistant Chen.
"Assistant Chen, could you help me compile a list of TV dramas likely to be released in two months, and also provide me with a list of celebrities."
Assistant Chen was puzzled: "A list?"
E numа
Yao Bianliang carefully chose her words and explained: "Which celebrities have done illegal things, been mistresses, cheated on their partners, and so on. I know that insiders have special channels for gathering information—can you help me identify these celebrities?"
Yao Bianliang's idea was simple: if she couldn't fight them, she could avoid them.
As long as she avoided these scandal-ridden artists, incidents like Luo Shuai or Ouyang Xiaoqing wouldn't happen again.
However, Assistant Chen remained silent for a long time.

"Sister Liang, there are too many celebrities who meet these criteria. Are you sure?" He paused, then very sincerely suggested, "How about I give you a list of celebrities who haven't engaged in such behaviors instead?"
This time, it was Yao Bianliang who fell silent.
Ẅе̌ bn ó vе̃l̂ .Еn̆ ū m̊ä
So now, normal celebrities had become as rare as endangered species?
"Forget it then. Don't compile the list. Just confirm the list of concurrent TV dramas," Yao Bianliang sighed deeply.
Thinking carefully, even with such a list, there was no guarantee it would be absolutely correct.
What if someone was very good at hiding their true nature, to the extent that even industry insiders didn't know their real face?
Even if she memorized the list, it still wouldn't be useful.
After ending the conversation, Yao Bianliang felt somewhat complex emotions.

"Sigh, ultimately, the overall environment is too poor..."
Without comparison, there would be no sense of injury. If the entertainment industry had more excellent celebrities who loved their work and competed fiercely, how could she worry about not being able to become unpopular?
If only the domestic entertainment industry could cultivate many excellent stars who were all dedicated to their work and intensely competitive—how wonderful that would be.
System: "Host, look on the bright side. You've already taken down quite a few unreliable artists."
At least, among Ansheng Entertainment's most famous artists, almost none had escaped Yao Bianliang's grasp.
Yao Bianliang found this very frustrating: "So what? When old artists leave, new ones will come!"
Е̇n̊ um а̌
"Besides, I've heard that the Lu Group has already begun preparing for a new season of reality show talent competition. When that happens, naturally another batch of actors without acting skills or professional dedication will enter the entertainment industry."
If the overall environment didn't change, what difference would a few people with dreams make?

They would either be buried or assimilated.
Unless she herself found a way to improve the overall environment of the entire entertainment industry...
This thought crossed Yao Bianliang's mind but only momentarily. She didn't delve deeper into it.
For her current self, this proposition was too difficult. It wasn't something a small celebrity like her should consider.
Ѐ n̊úm̊ ӓ
"Forget it, I'll focus on 'The Tianya Decree' first," Yao Bianliang sighed long and deep.
Time passed quickly, and on a beautiful autumn day, the final scene was successfully completed.
After all filming work for "The Tianya Decree" was finished, Yao Bianliang also took time to film an endorsement.
The temporary task was always the easiest to complete, so regardless of whether "The Tianya Decree" would flop or not, she would have a two-month rest period.

With all preparations in place, the release date for "The Tianya Decree" was drawing closer.
"Next Friday—suitable for funerals and cremations, avoid openings and inaugurations?" Yao Bianliang looked through the almanac, deep in thought.

"Hmm, this seems like a good day. Let's go with it."
Once upon a time, Yao Bianliang had been a good socialist youth, but now she had also become immersed in mysticism.
She didn't want to miss any factor that might increase the chances of becoming unpopular.
"Releasing 'The Tianya Decree' at this time will put it in direct competition with three other historical dramas," Yao Bianliang was very satisfied with this outcome.
Yes, as a holiday peak season, many dramas were being released during this period.
Besides two sweet romantic dramas and three modern urban dramas, the rest were historical dramas.

Although the casts of the other historical dramas weren't as good as "The Tianya Decree," Yao Bianliang wasn't worried.
Previously, the dramas she filmed never had casts as good as others. But what was the result?
In the end, her dramas with mediocre casts became popular, while those lavish commercial productions flopped.
So this time, the roles were reversed. Yao Bianliang had become the one filming commercial dramas.
She couldn't believe that among so many concurrent dramas, there wouldn't be a single formidable competitor!
"Sister Liang, do we really not need to do some marketing?" Assistant Yan Xiaoli was a bit worried. "Other production teams have already started promotional activities and bought quite a few trending topics."
W е̇b nо̀ṽе̌l Е̂ ń úm̀ а̂
Yao Bianliang instinctively shook her head, about to refuse: "No, we can't do promotions..."
But halfway through her sentence, she stopped.

Wait, if she chose not to do marketing and promotion, wouldn't she be following her old path?
This time she had hired traffic stars and was filming a commercial drama. If she didn't do any marketing at all, how could it qualify as a proper "assembly-line product" and match up to "The Tale of An Hua"?
Realizing this, Yao Bianliang was suddenly struck by an insight.
Yes, she had almost overlooked this important factor.
Е ñům ӑ. i̇ d̂
If she wanted to perfectly replicate the failure case of "The Tale of An Hua," then marketing and promotion were necessary steps!
Seeing Yao Bianliang's hesitation, Yan Xiaoli's eyes brightened, and she continued softly persuading: "Sister Liang, I think we should do some moderate promotion. Even if we don't buy internet water armies or trending topics, at least we should release some recommendation articles, right?"
Yao Bianliang pondered for a moment, then couldn't help asking the system in her mind: "System, can I do marketing and promotion?"
The system answered promptly: "Of course you can. As long as the host doesn't engage in false marketing or deceive viewers, there's no problem."

Having received an affirmative response, Yao Bianliang's thoughts became active.
She turned to look at Yan Xiaoli, her eyes flashing with brightness: "Xiaoli, you're right. Our team indeed needs some promotion. Thanks for reminding me!"
Е́ńu mā
Since she was following the commercial drama approach, she couldn't just imitate half of it, or she might end up drawing a tiger that looked like a dog.
She should follow the commercial drama model throughout, from casting to marketing, making a complete change.
It's worth noting that Yao Bianliang's "disregard for fame and fortune" image had deeply taken root in people's hearts. Because of this, she needed to promote even more.
When viewers saw that she not only hired a bunch of traffic stars but also started publishing promotional articles and accepting interviews, they would surely feel she had been corrupted by capital.
In this way, wouldn't she perfectly evoke everyone's disgust?
