Chapter 569: Chapter 569: The CEO’s Purchased Trending Searches
Everything was ready; they just needed a catalyst, and now it seemed that Shen Jinyou was that catalyst.
A star’s rise might be attributable to their looks, their singing and dancing talents, or their promotional backing, but to truly skyrocket and solidify a fanbase – to reach the pinnacle of popularity – it all comes down to the role and the work. A classic work is worth a million promotions!
With a drama series spreading over fifty episodes, making such a splash right from the start, let alone what’s to come, Ye Xian could definitely shoot to stardom thanks to this role and join the ranks of top young actors!
As soon as the second episode ends, I’ll get him a spot on the hot search ranking!
Just as Jiang Wen was thinking this, he received a phone call.
…Why does the CEO care about Ye Xian even more than he does?
“This scene is just fantastic; Ye Xian’s entrance was even more stunning than Yuwei’s!”
A supporting actor was mesmerized and couldn’t help but praise.
Luo Yuwei’s hand holding her phone paused for a moment as she raised her head slightly to look at Ye Xian on the TV.
Xi Ruochu: “The character Shen Jinyou was always meant to be the most beautiful in the world, so why compare him with anyone else? In my heart, he is No.1, unmatched by anyone! Ye Xian, you’re definitely going to be a big hit this time! Get me an autograph!”
Ye Xian peeled her hand away, “Alright, enough, I’m being ‘killed by your support’ before I’ve even become famous!”
“Ah!” Zhou Lu ran over excitedly with her phone, “Brother Ye, quick, look, you’re on the hot search!”
Everyone looked to see a new entry at the top of the hot search—#ShenJinyouResplendentBeauty#
True, Shen Jinyou was very handsome and charming, but he had only made an appearance for ten minutes when, all of a sudden, he was on the hot search? Even if he was popular, this seemed a bit too much, right?
Ye Xian was also full of question marks.
The first thought that popped into her head was, could it be her second brother who had bought the hot search spot?
She touched her nose and silently walked out, “Well, I’m off to shoot…”
“Hot search number one, eh? With this speed, this efficiency, this ranking… could it be… does Ye Xian really have a financial backer buying him hot search spots?”
“So what if he does? That doesn’t mean he lacks talent. It’s just good fortune! To have both strong backing and the makings of a star!”
“It seems that having strong backing really does matter. Look at Luo Yuwei; what if she’s the female lead? With an average family background, even if she makes it to the hot search, she falls below the top ten. But when Ye Xian wants to top the list, he gets it, even if he’s a supporting actor, overshadowing the leads in popularity!”
The supporting actors were buzzing with discussion, each word, each sentence, clearly reaching Luo Yuwei’s ears, her previously lingering smile gradually fading.
“The company bought the hot search. It’s each lead’s turn.”
Jiang Wanze suddenly spoke up. With just one sentence, the entire resting room fell silent, and no one dared to gossip any longer.
After he’d spoken, he turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Yuwei wondered since when had Wanze become so caring and protective of Ye Xian? He seemed as if he had never been this way with anyone before…
Ye Xian called Ye Shaowen from the restroom, only to find out that he hadn’t bought the hot search. Puzzled, and after guessing for ages, she simply called Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen couldn’t help but laugh, trying to cover it up, “That’s right, it was me. Who else would buy you a hot search?”
To himself, he thought that the CEO would too, but the CEO didn’t want that to be shared.
Ye Xian: “Huh? Brother Jiang, it was really you? Shen Jinyou hasn’t been on screen for more than ten minutes, and you got him the top spot on the hot search? Is that something you, a top agent, could pull off?”
