The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

The hotel room.

Yang Tianzhen chatted with Liang Mu about work.

While looking at WeChat on my phone.

Sometimes even she had to admire Shen Jian's direct and enviable way of socializing.

Is this an inherent trait of illiteracy?

If you want WeChat, you can have it; you can say whatever you want...

And they almost ended up discussing work while they were chatting.

The key point is that the two older brothers on the other side were quite cooperative.

Actually, many of the variety shows on Tencent's platform are top-tier productions.

Wang Anyu rose to fame this year, starting with "Let's Set Off Now".

Of course, Yixin Entertainment's collaboration with Tencent extends beyond variety shows.

There's also a film and television section; the drama starring Wang Anyu and Liu Haocun was exclusively broadcast there.

However, this year seems to be a winter for film and television dramas.

Almost all top-tier IP dramas don't perform well in terms of viewership.

Except for a few exceptions, they almost suffered total annihilation.

The most tragic one has to be Wang Chengyi, the rising star actor who was once Liang Mu's rival in love and who is now a flop this year.

Starting with "Fox Spirit Matchmaker," and later "Journey to the Mountains and Seas" and "Chang'an Twenty-Four," the data all dropped. Even the joint broadcast on the two major platforms, "Guo'e" and "Guo'e," couldn't salvage the situation. The number of top 9000 on the trending list dropped after just one day.

Of course, other top actors aren't much better than him.

In short, it seems that many people in the industry have a premonition that the film and television industry may be about to undergo a major upheaval.

Especially for the three giants of video, whether future film and television productions can continue to trust some of these top stars remains to be seen.

They used to have absolute appeal and high viewership ratings.

But whether it can withstand the pressure of the drama is hard to say now.

If the performance is bad, the audience really won't watch it.

On the contrary, some unpretentious and low-key actors with solid acting skills have gradually returned to the public eye.

For example, the recent drama "Old Uncle", or Huo Jianhua's new drama "Why Is He Still Single?" which was released not long ago.

There was no heavy promotion, nor any copying of CP marketing.

Its low-key launch, however, garnered positive reviews and high viewership.

Therefore, many industry insiders predict that the future trend of film and television investment will likely shift from top-tier productions to lower-cost but high-quality works.

Of course, no one knows whether this is really the case.

After all, no one can control the market.

However, Yang Tianzhen's strategy for her artists remains steady and pragmatic, not seeking rapid fame, but rather a long-term, steady rise to stardom.

"Zhang Xueying and Huo Jianhua's new drama 'Youth' is about to air, and there will be a live broadcast for the promotional event..."

Liangmu spoke of what he was holding.

Yang Tianzhen snapped out of her daze: "On the show today, Director Dapeng said that guy has acting talent. Do you think he was joking or serious?"

Liangmu was taken aback: "Uh... I don't know either, but it's true that this kid loves to act."

Yang Tianzhen rolled her eyes, then recalled Shen Jian's face and gritted her teeth: "He should really go on a reality show to properly transform himself."

Ryogi: "..."

...

the next day.

The program was recorded as scheduled.

However, Shen Jian does not need to participate in the battle.

So I just joined in as part of the atmosphere-building team for a day.

The previous four episodes have been basically recorded.

Many players were eliminated from each group.

Some people even shed tears on the show because they were about to leave.

The guests and audience shared the emotions and were deeply moved.

"Shen Jian, you could also think about your past. If you don't advance in the later rounds, you could say some farewell words to evoke empathy from the audience. That could also attract some new fans."

On the way back.

Lin Youyou and the others tried to persuade Shen Jian from the side.

In the eyes of these girls, among today's contestants, the few who were eliminated were the most memorable.

So on the way back.

Then the group suddenly had a brilliant idea.

They wanted Shen Jian to design a farewell speech as well.

Shen Jian was speechless: "Can't I just stay?"

Lin Youyou: "The later rounds are very difficult, and everyone is a master. In fact, you don't need to appear in so many episodes. With your god-like performance in the first round, you have completely achieved your goal."

As Sister Yang once said, for celebrities, the more competition there is, the less they should aim to be number one.

Go look at all those talent shows; often, the most popular one isn't the winner, but rather the one who leaves the audience feeling "sorry"! Understand?

"Ouch~".

Shen Jian looked at Lin Youyou with surprise: "Don't say that, Xiao You, after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel like I'm about to pour a bucket of water over my head!"

Lin Youyou: "..."

Ryogi: "..."

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

The corners of the mouths of the people in the car twitched.

What the hell is this topping?

That was a moment of profound enlightenment, brother!

[One more hilarious joke]

Shen Jian: "So I also have to move on from this unresolved regret?"

Liangmu shook his head: "It's not that easy. Just do your best. But if you really have to leave the stage, you can try to empathize with people. That will help your image."

Yang Tianzhen also expressed her approval earlier:

"There's really no downside to it, and in these kinds of variety show competitions, the winner isn't necessarily the most popular. That's the truth."

So you can think about your past experiences and talk about them before you leave, so that people can understand you better.

Shen Jian smiled and said, "That's easy, don't worry, Sister Yang!"

Lin Youyou: "Simple? Really? Tell me."

"Do we really want to empathize?"

"certainly."

"Aren't you afraid of being so moved that you feel sad after listening to this?"

"Tch, what's there to be afraid of? I've heard several of these during the day, and I almost cried along with them. We grew up reading tragic literature, you know?"

Lin Youyou and the others looked confident.

In their eyes, no matter how touching Shen Jian was, could it be more moving than those who were leaving today?

"Alright then." Shen Jian nodded. "As you all know, I haven't received much formal education."

"!!!"

"..."

Shen Jian looked regretful:

"I dropped out of school before finishing elementary school, so my childhood was actually very bleak. Apart from playing every day, coming home to eat, and then going out to play again, it seems like there was nothing else."

Lin Youyou: "???"

Ryogi: "..."

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Shen Jian: "My youth was the same. Everyone else was studying hard in high school, getting up early and working late every day for the college entrance examination."

But all I can do is spend my days playing games, reading novels, comics, and watching TV dramas at internet cafes, occasionally going on outings, playing basketball, and rollerblading. Tell me, who wouldn't be miserable in that situation?

"..."

"..."

Shen Jian: "Do you know how envious I am of them? I never experienced the college entrance examination, and I never felt any pressure. This is my biggest regret."

Moreover, without going to school, it's difficult to get by in society. You only realize how tough it is outside when you grow up!

So I went home and started live streaming. It took me three whole months and all my hard work to gain a few million followers before I finally signed with our company.

But look at your peers, they graduate from college and work 996 hours a day in every job, and some even work overtime until midnight before going home.

Sigh, all I can say is that before becoming a star, my life was like walking on thin ice.

After Shen Jian finished speaking, he smiled and looked to the side: "You're done! How does it feel? Still feeling resentful?"

Lin Youyou covered her head, struggling to breathe: "I'm going to sleep for a while, I feel a little unwell."

Ryogi: "..."

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Zhang Shan: "..."

Li Si: "..."

Everyone looked exasperated.

What are you so upset about!
