I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 128 So shameless!
"Wow, Zhou Yang, can you sign your autograph for me again?!"

"Zhou Yang, ahhhhh, Zhou Yang, I love you, my whole family loves you..."

"Zhou Yang, I will always support you! Ahhh, Zhou Yang, you're so much more handsome in person than in the photos..."

"Ahhh, Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, I'm about to cry! Zhou Yang smiled at me! Really, did you see it? He smiled at me!"

"Wow, Zhou Yang talked to me..."

"Aaaaaaah, I'm going crazy! I love him, I want to have his baby..."

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

"..."

[Golden Horse Award] Before the red carpet.

Countless media outlets heard screams...

They instinctively picked up the camera!
What did they see?
They saw some girls burst into tears, as if they were poisoned, shouting "Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang" incessantly, their voices so loud they made their eardrums buzz...

They also saw the girls frantically surrounding Zhou Yang, desperately wanting to take photos with him and get his autograph. Their enthusiasm was so great that Zhou Yang couldn't even take a step forward...

They also noticed banners suddenly appearing along the red carpet, just like at a concert. The banners were filled with light boards that read "Zhou Yang, I love you!", "Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, number one!", and "Congratulations to Zhou Yang from Taiwan!" The exaggerated excitement shocked many media outlets!
This young man...

Is it that popular?
"OK OK!"

"Next time!"

"The show is about to start!"

"Please don't do that. I know everyone is very enthusiastic, but the Golden Horse Awards is not a stage for me alone..."

"Yes, sorry, everyone please make way..."

"Next up, our little superstar, Chen Liang, is coming!"

"Yes, yes, Chen Liang is right behind us..."

"Hey, you guys go over to Chen Liang's side, he's even more handsome than me!"

"Yes, yes, let's go over there..."

"..."

After a lot of fuss, Zhou Yang seemed quite helpless and shook his head, then pointed to a luxury car in the distance...

..............................

Who's up ahead?!

"Zhou Yang?"

"Wait a minute, is Zhou Yang really that popular? I've never heard of him..."

"He's only made a few movies, so what..."

"This……"

Chen Liang got out of the car...

The scene I had imagined—a huge crowd of fans rushing towards me—did not happen!
Instead, I witnessed a scene that made me question the meaning of life...

He saw a young man wearing glasses in the distance, surrounded by a large group of girls, looking like a superstar...

Countless media outlets seemed to be captivated by Zhou Yang's topics and activities!
Surprisingly, after he got out of the car, there wasn't much media attention...

Then, the young man suddenly pointed at himself!

Immediately afterwards...

"Ah, Chen Liang!"

"He's not handsome!"

"Yeah, he's not handsome at all!"

"Yeah, why would I want his autograph? I'm not even a fan!"

"yes……"

"Don't push me!"

"He's not as handsome as Zhou Yang, I'm not his fan, and I don't want his autograph..."

"Don't you know that Chen Liang's new album sold 2 copies?"

"What's so great about 2 tickets? I don't think it sounds good..."

"..."

With Zhou Yang pointing like that!
A group of girls looked in their direction...

Chen Liang hurriedly asked his bodyguards to keep an eye on him, but to his surprise, a large group of girls and media swarmed towards him, frantically asking for his autograph...

But among those excited voices were some jarring sounds...

This piercing sound made Chen Liang feel a strange sense of unease.

what happened?

Moreover, even though he had already come over, why were the media still focusing on Zhou Yang?
damn it!
....................................

"I do not know either……"

"I don't know how I became famous. It seems like it was just a picture, a picture of me leaning against an Audi, that went viral..."

"I don't know. I don't know why there are so many female fans. When I came to the Golden Horse Awards stage in Taiwan, I thought no one would pay attention to us, so I didn't prepare anything beforehand..."

"Awarded?"

"I'm just a newcomer to the film industry, how could I dare to think about winning awards? I'm just here to be a supporting character..."

"Yes, why am I wearing this suit? Well, it's like this: during my most difficult time, I met Xu Wei from [European Suits]. Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu gave me a chance!"

"Yes!"

"【European Apparel】has always been great. Not only are their suits good, but their sportswear and casual wear are also excellent. I wear their clothes head to toe..."

"..."

do not know why!
Obviously!

Yes, I clearly thought Chen Liang's production team would be the hottest after "Undercover Detective"...

However, when Chen Jiajia interviewed Zhou Yang, she increasingly felt that Zhou Yang was full of all sorts of explosive points and topics.

On the contrary, Chen Liang didn't seem to have much expectation.

The entertainment industry is a place where topics and news explode. Selling 20,000 copies a day—does everyone seem to know that?
however……

What left Chen Jiajia somewhat bewildered was!
When Zhou Yang is interviewed, he always brings up various brands!
This guy can even tell a story about every single brand…

After hearing so much, and even looking at Zhou Yang's sincere face, Chen Jiajia even considered trying those brands herself to see if they were really as magical as he claimed.

and many more!

Is this guy really a director?
Why does it look so much like a salesperson trying to sell something?

....................................

After lingering on the red carpet for more than ten minutes, Zhou Yang finally gave a speechless prompt from a staff member who took a deep breath.

Holding An Xiaoshi's hand, and leading the group from "The Haunted Village," they slowly walked into the Golden Horse Awards venue amidst exaggerated and even awkward screams of "Go Zhou Yang!" and "I love you, Zhou Yang!"

Chen Liang also started walking the red carpet.

Although some people screamed.

However, whether it was because Zhou Yang's "ardent fans" were shouting too loudly, or for some other reason, the hype actually dropped quite a bit...

After walking the red carpet, Chen Liang felt a strange sense of loss!

My new album has sold over 20,000 copies!

That's a top-tier achievement, and it only took one day!
Where have my fans gone?
This indescribable emotion made him question the meaning of life as he looked at Zhou Yang and his group of people sitting on chairs not far away.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why Zhou Yang suddenly had such a large following at the Golden Horse Awards...

This is like something out of a superstar movie!
until……

Chen Liang's agent walked in with a grim expression, looking somewhat indignant!

"Damn it!"

"I've found out."

"These girls are all actresses he hired. The day before yesterday, Zhou Yang's company covered all the food, accommodation, and transportation for several key 'actors' during their trip to Taiwan..."

"They rehearsed in the hotel yesterday, rehearsing who would run up to Zhou Yang for an autograph, who would shout excitedly, who would stand there crying with excitement, including yelling 'So handsome! So handsome!' and so on..."

"Besides that, it seems like many media outlets are interviewing him with cameras..."

"In fact, these inexplicable media outlets are also actors they hired. Many of these actors are newly recruited intern photographers at [Xuan Shi Entertainment]... impersonating media!"

"Even on set, these actors rehearsed how to make themselves stand out on camera..."

"Many of your fans actually arrived a long time ago..."

"But, on the one hand, you were blocked by bodyguards, and on the other hand, you were pushed outside by the group of actors that Zhou Yang invited. When you were walking the red carpet, many fans couldn't squeeze in... Only after you finished walking the red carpet did the fans manage to squeeze in..."

"What's even more infuriating is that Zhou Yang, that bastard, actually paid our fans to hold up his signs, lying to them that they and Zhou Yang are good friends, that they're promoting their friend, and that if they hold up the signs, they can get his autograph. A few fans with questionable IQs actually believed it and were moved to tears..."

"..."

When Chen Liang heard this...

His eyes widened instantly!
Next!

Suddenly, I felt a surge of blood rushing to my head, my eyes gradually turned red, and my gaze was filled with grief and indignation!

He was so angry that his whole body was trembling!
Such a shameless person, damn it, this is the first time he's ever seen one!
....................................

"Everyone performed very well this time!"

"You know, it has to be portrayed like this in the movie too?"

"Yes, the movie we're about to shoot is called 'Love Rollercoaster,' a big-budget youth film..."

"you you you……"

"Come here... You did a great job this time, and we happen to have a role for you... You'll be the male lead in 'Love Rollercoaster,' the one who faints from excitement when Dongfang Yunhai appears at school. You'll get a close-up, and if you perform well, the director said he might increase your screen time and make you an important supporting character!"

"..."

evening.

Night gradually fell.

[Golden Horse Award] On the grass outside.

Dozens of people stood on the grass nearby.

Xu Chunyang, who used to run a pirated recording business and later became Zhou Yang's recruit, making a fortune from Zhou Yang's "Liao Ren: Reboot" DVD, has now transformed into the casting director for supporting roles in "Love Rollercoaster"...

He held the video and watched it repeatedly, thoroughly satisfied with the scene of Zhou Yang walking the red carpet like a superstar!

Then, they picked out the girl who shouted the loudest and most excitedly.

He carefully handed him a script for a character named "Xiao Ai".

"I know we're all fans of Mr. Zhou. Wait a minute, let's continue with the next rehearsal. Whether Mr. Zhou wins or not, we're all going to scream our lungs out, okay? Anyone fainting? If so, come and sign up here. You're all professional actors, so you have to act very naturally, understand?"

"..."

An Xiaoshi, who had not yet entered the Golden Horse Awards venue, came to the grass with a complicated expression after receiving the phone call.

When she saw this scene, her mind went blank.

Immediately afterwards…

Xu Chunyang handed me a video!
"How was it, Director An? Weren't their performances incredibly realistic?"

"You guys, aren't you afraid of being exposed for doing this?" An Xiaoshi was shocked.

"President Zhou said it would be best if it got exposure, as it would also promote our movie 'Love Rollercoaster'! He said he's shameless and just wants the hype..."

"???"

An Xiaoshi's head was buzzing.

Xu Chunyang then looked at the group of girls...

"Alright, take a break. Now, listen to my slogan. Before the awards ceremony begins, let's all shout it out together..."

"Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, I love you, you know... It has to be rhythmic!"

"And you media team over there, do you still want to be directors? You need to carry your cameras, you need to go crazy, you need to be excited, you need to be thrilled, understand?"

"Mr. Zhou has several more movies in the works. Don't you want to participate in their production?"

"Do you yearn to know?"

"..."
