296 Chapter 296. The Dirty Entertainment Industry
Yin Hui was so angry that he was about to fight back when his phone rang. It was a video call from Lu Chen in the group chat.
After Yin Hui picked up the call, Lu Chen’s first words were, ” Yin Hui, you’re good. This show is top-rated now. You should quickly find a few more advertising sponsors and insert them into the show when it’s broadcast. The advertising space should be at least eight figures. You’ve struck it rich this time. Your father won’t call you a prodigal anymore, hahaha …”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like a greedy person? I’m doing this variety show to realize my dream! Forget it; how can a layman like you understand? By the way, Old Xiang is also beside me.” Yin Hui turned his phone around and pointed the camera at Xiang Hong.
“With Old Xiang’s looks, figure, and temperament, when his trainee identity is announced tomorrow, won’t a bunch of young ladies cry and call him hubby? I’m already regretting not joining your show. It’s not bad to be a star.” Lu Chen laughed cynically.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Old Xiang hasn’t liked a woman for more than 20 years. I think he’s serious this time. Even if he becomes a celebrity, no matter how many people like him, he’ll only have one person in his heart.”
The single Yin Hui complained to Lu Chen, “You don’t know this, but when I saw Ding Shan’s poster today, I thought it looked perfect, so I changed it to my phone wallpaper. In the end, when Xiang Hong saw it, he looked like he would cut me into pieces. I was so scared!”
Lu Chen laughed out loud. Since Xiang Hong couldn’t hit him now, he said arrogantly, “Xiang Hong, I also think that Ding Shan’s poster is pretty. I’m going to use it as my phone wallpaper for a week. You won’t be angry, right? Hahaha!”
Xiang Hong looked at him with a dangerous look. Yin Hui was shocked and hurriedly said into the phone, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore; I’m hanging up, I’m hanging up!”
Yin Hui was worried that he would be the one to die if Lu Chen were to say anything that would anger Xiang Hong.
After hanging up the video call, Yin Hui looked at the time and realized it was already very late.
“You’re not going to rest?” Yin Hui yawned. “You still have to film an advertisement tomorrow.”
“You can go back first.” Xiang Hong sat in front of the computer again.
Yin Hui thought Xiang Hong had to deal with some company matters remotely. After all, Xiang Hong was the boss of a company, and he had suddenly come to his variety show to be a trainee. His work must have piled up.
“What a workaholic.” Yin Hui said in a low voice and then stretched his back. “Then I’ll go first.”
Although Yin Hui had just entered the team of entrepreneurial elites, he was not as hardworking as Xiang Hong. He really could not stand staying up all night.
After Yin Hui left, Xiang Hong’s gaze fell to the computer.
He wasn’t dealing with work matters but paying attention to the direction of public opinion on the internet.
Since he learned about Ding Shan’s identity, Xiang Hong paid particular attention to the entertainment industry to understand Ding Shan’s environment. He would find time to read posts and news about the entertainment industry daily.
At present, Xiang Hong’s understanding of the entertainment circle could not be comparable to a senior fan. Still, he could at least be considered a trendy netizen who was familiar with all kinds of internet slang.
After understanding this circle, Xiang Hong also discovered that under the glamorous surface of this circle, there were some dirty and ugly things. There were also some ‘Unspoken rules’ similar to that of business.
This industry was also a market, and the market’s dividends were like a cake. Entertainment companies and celebrities all wanted to get the most significant piece of the cake, so the competition in this industry was particularly fierce. A small change could easily cause a large-scale online battle.
The various celebrities and fans also evolved step by step in the battle and developed different unique tactics.
Tonight, Ding Shan’s first public appearance after a long silence attracted the attention of the entire internet.
“The nation’s daughter has made a high-profile return. She’s both a talent show coach and a National producer. I’m looking forward to it!”
Ding Shan, who was already very popular, welcomed another peak in her career after the topic of the ‘Mysterious fifth mentor.’
It topped the hot search list and occupied the topic square. The official Weibo post had exceeded 1.6 million reposts …
Ding Shan’s return had shaken the entire entertainment industry!
Such a terrifying amount of traffic and popularity would undoubtedly make many celebrities of the same age group and type as Ding Shan feel envious and scared.
People were selfish, and vanity in the entertainment industry was more likely to breed ‘Jealousy.’
Those who were jealous of Ding Shan and afraid that Ding Shan would steal their cake of benefits would not let this night be too peaceful.
