Chapter 200 - 200 Feeling Awkward
200 Feeling Awkward
Fu Si had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and knew very well that there was nothing wrong with the management company’s actions. In this industry, if you wanted to stand out, you had to know how to grasp the popularity.
However, Fu Si was already uncomfortable with Ji Jun. He treated him as a competitor, but yet he looked down on him at the same time. However, in reality, he still wanted to use Ji Jun’s popularity to hype himself up. This contradiction made Fu Si even more frustrated with Ji Jun.
Now that he had finally made a name for himself, the management company began to gradually reduce the number of articles about him being Ji Jun’s foil. From then on, they planned to start hyping up the concept of him and Ji Jun as “Twin Stars”.
Anyway, the management company’s plan was to lock the two of them down and continue sucking Ji Jun’s blood. That was why after knowing that Ji Jun was on the variety show “Light of eSports”, they insisted on including him in the show.
Other than the high exposure of this show and the fact that it wasn’t a loss to participate in it, it was also to find an opportunity to let Fu Si and Ji Jun be in the same frame. First, they would stir up the nostalgia and their brotherhood, then they would develop it into “Twin Stars” and use Ji Jun’s status to raise Fu Si’s status.
Anyway, Fu Si was a man and there wouldn’t be any scandals with Ji Jun, so he shouldn’t be boycotted by his fans. It could be said that the management company had a very good plan.
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, Fu Si had to stay in the production team. Tonight’s live-stream ranking competition was very important. At the same time, in order to hype up his popularity, his management team had already prepared the top three trending spots. They were just waiting to directly promote it after the live-stream.
Fu Si was currently the most popular artist among all the artists participating in the live-stream. Therefore, as soon as the live-stream started, more than 100,000 viewers surged in. His manager, Hao Xiang, took a look at the live-stream popularity rankings and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Fu Si’s popularity was steadily ranked first.
Although Fu Si usually played games, his skills were very average. Therefore, Hao Xiang knew very well that Fu Si would definitely not be selected if it was just based on his gaming skills.
But at the same time, he knew very well that this was not a serious competition. It was just an outpost for a variety show. And the variety show had too many factors to consider when it was selecting its guests.
Hao Xiang believed that the popularity of the guests was more important than their skills.
He instructed the staff, “Start contacting all the marketing accounts and contact the various platforms. Get them to push us to the top five on all the platforms. We must push all the entries about Fu Si’s live-stream to the top five.
Seeing that the popularity of Fu Si’s live-stream kept rising and the gap between him and the second place was getting wider and wider, Hao Xiang finally felt relieved.
He believed that with this popularity, the production team would definitely not be willing to give up on Fu Si easily.
However, what Hao Xiang didn’t expect was that just as he was relieved, Yu Han’s live-stream suddenly rose up. She suddenly made a name for herself just by relying on her beauty, and this was even under the condition that she didn’t buy a trending topic.
Her manager, He Meng, listened to Yu Han’s speech in the live-stream with one ear perked up. Her other eye was fixed on her cell phone, looking at the various data and the trending list on the platform.
“It seems like Fu Si is well-prepared.” He Meng frowned, but she didn’t find it strange. Compared to the fact that all the companies were fighting to buy trending topics for their artists, He Meng didn’t buy it.
Firstly, there were too many celebrities appearing together tonight. Presumably, it would be very lively on the trending searches. Therefore, under such circumstances, buying conventional trending searches would become very useless. She might as well save some money.
Secondly, the focus was still on Yu Han. If Yu Han played well, the production team would definitely be able to see it. The audience would also be able to see it. Compared to the data on the trending searches, the number of viewers in the live-stream and the time they spent online were more direct data.
Hence, when He Meng saw that the popularity of the live-stream was increasing, she relaxed her frown. At this moment, the game officials announced that the ranking competition was about to begin. Yu Han ended her chat with the netizens and logged into her game account.
However, as soon as she logged in, the people in the live-stream were shocked by the golden color inside. It turned out that after this period of hard work, Yu Han had already reached the level of the strongest grandmaster. Therefore, she would release a golden special effect when she logged in.
When the people in the live-stream saw this gorgeous special effect, the first thing they did was cry out, but after that, they began to question and advise.
They did not believe that Yu Han had gotten this result herself. They thought that she had bought the account or hired a professional to get this result.
