Frequent exposure will definitely cause annoyance, no surprise there.
Many celebrities seem not to understand this, appearing in trending searches now and then, with some trending topics being downright bizarre, like XXX’s pink sweater, or XX’s toothbrush losing its bristles, utterly nonsensical and baffling the majority who have no idea why these topics are trending.
In reality, most celebrities, agents, and companies do understand this.
Frequent exposure will indeed cause annoyance, no surprise, but it is still necessary because that’s how you become the hot commodity on the market; annoyance is also a form of data traffic, which can be turned into a money printing machine.
Zhou Yun also worries about too much exposure, but these trending searches just happened by chance, not from her own making or buying; after riding on Song Chi’s coattails into the trends, she has never come down.
Thankfully, the online resentment stays online, and Zhou Yun has plenty of work to do in reality, such as the show to be filmed in Hainan.
Zhou Yun’s trending searches continue to surge, and the production team is overjoyed; upon seeing Zhou Yun, the director greets her as Teacher Zhou, startling Zhou Yun into a stutter, quickly waving her hands and saying, "Just call me Xiao Yun, I’m not a teacher."
What surprised Zhou Yun was that she ran into Su Yan again.
There’s a sense of destiny that nemeses are bound to meet.
Su Yan also gave her the cold shoulder. During the last program, Zhou Yun and Su Yan pretty much became enemies, even though Zhou Yun never said or did anything. Sometimes it’s just like that; without explicit words, they both understood that a feud had formed between them.
Speaking of the feud, the reason it started is quite laughable – just because Su Yan had a conflict with Lew Qingqing, and Zhou Yun didn’t choose to side with Su Yan, Su Yan took the opportunity to kick her during a game.
Zhou Yun says she’s not angry, but that would be a lie.
Su Yan dared to kick her because she was a newcomer, right? Just another celebrity with no notable news, merely a scandalous headline star, just a pushover in Su Yan’s eyes, perhaps never to be seen again.
Who would have thought, just a few days later, they’d meet again, recording the same show.
This episode’s recording was a last-minute invitation from the director, seeing Zhou Yun’s popularity.
This show is about celebrities role-playing according to local cultural and historical legends to complete story tasks.
The night before, Zhou Yun discussed the details of the next day’s recording with the director in charge; after the director finished explaining the script for the next day, Zhou Yun was surprised to find that this episode’s script gave her a major role in the storyline – in short, she was practically the female lead for this episode.
"How could this be?" Zhou Yun asked Zhou Lan in surprise, "Has the show ever had a guest star as the female lead before?"
Normally in variety shows, unless there is someone significantly higher in status than the rest, no one is given such a prominent main character role because it would create an imbalance in the exposure of the artists in that episode.
Zhou Lan was also astonished.
"The director didn’t mention such treatment when he contacted me before, could it be that seeing you constantly in hot searches and so popular lately, he specially changed the script for you?"
