You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

"More friends mean more opportunities. The more friends the better."

In the past, Li Yiran never agreed with this statement.

She has been working in the entertainment industry for six or seven years, and every time she encountered difficulties at work, she overcame them with her strong abilities.

She also made some so-called "intimate" friends in the circle, but those people only appeared when she was doing well. Once she didn't make any progress in her career, they disappeared.

It is almost impossible to help each other in career, and it is good enough not to cause trouble for her.

But why are Le Yan’s friends so different?

The experience of exploring overseas markets made Li Yiran suddenly realize that being popular does not seem to have much to do with one's ability, but mainly depends on how well one marries into a good family.

Those famous superstars in Hong Kong were all very enthusiastic in helping Li Yiran expand his market in Hong Kong.

In the past three months, Li Yiran has been a guest singer at more than a dozen concerts, participated in the promotion of six or seven Hong Kong films, appeared on all music-related programs on local radio stations, and recorded a variety show every four or five days on average.
Subsequently, her popularity in Hong Kong increased dramatically, and within a short period of time, fans' comments on her went from "her name sounds familiar" to "I love her so much." This was even smoother than when Li Yiran debuted in mainland China and soared to fame by riding on the Leyin.com Love Song Contest.

Now that Li Yiran has established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, the first thing she would like to thank is definitely the Hong Kong predecessors who have helped her. Without these people, Li Yiran might still be suffering in several Southeast Asian countries.

Now with Hong Kong as a springboard, even if Li Yiran has no plans to visit neighboring countries in the near future, his fame and popularity have increased significantly compared to three months ago.

In addition, the person we want to thank most is Le Yan from their family.

Li Yiran was already surprised by the attention and support she received from many senior executives, predecessors, and leaders in China due to Le Yan's status in the industry. She did not expect that after coming to Hong Kong, Le Yan could still bring her huge help in her career.
"I must be the happiest woman in the world!" This is the most frequent exclamation made by Li Yiran in recent times.

With a successful career, plenty of money in her pocket, tens of thousands of fans who like her, healthy parents, and a fiancé who treats her so well, Li Yiran has nothing to worry about in her world.

Li Yiran thinks she is the happiest woman in the world, so naturally he also thinks Le Yan is the happiest man in the world.

Every night when they communicated via video, Le Yan would tell her all happy things, such as the director praised him again yesterday, Deng Xuefeng said he had improved again today, etc.
The beautiful vision of the prince and princess living a happy life was temporarily shattered after they were contacted by the art director of the TV series "Sweet Honey".

Li Yiran is also a superstar artist. The art director was very frank when he was trying to get the schedule. The other party said that the discussion and ratings of "Sweet Honey" in Hong Kong were very poor. The department leader and General Ye were very dissatisfied and had given them a death order.

Zhang Yan asked, what would happen if there was no way to turn around the reputation and ratings?
The girl replied that it was very likely that their entire crew would be in trouble, from the director to the actors. She also asked Zhang Yan, "Don't you understand Ye Xinchun's character?"
"Ye Xinchun is a well-known ruthless person in the industry. She only cares about money and not people. When the Superstar was in chaos, she brought Tian Ni in to help out, but after just over a year, she got rid of him without any regard for their friendship."

When Zhang Yan described this need to Li Yiran, he described Ye Xinchun like this.

Li Yiran is not a person who follows the crowd. Because of Le Yan, she and Ye Xinchun have had quite a few private communications in this year.

What Zhang Yan said was a bit exaggerated.

"I wouldn't say that they would just kill the donkey after it has done its job, but I think they would destroy the bridge after crossing it."

Zhang Yan scratched his chin.
Does it make a difference?
"Go and reply to "Comrades: Almost a Love Story". I will put aside all my current work in the next two days and fully cooperate with their promotional efforts in Hong Kong." Li Yiran said firmly.

She was not sure whether Le Yan, who was filming in Chengdu, was unaware of the situation or deliberately did not want to tell her about these troubles.

It doesn't matter what the reason is.

She only knew that Le Yan had helped her in her career many times in the past two years.

It's time for LeYan to experience "living off his parents" in Hong Kong, of course, the old people here are his wife's.

"I wonder if Le Yan misses the taste of free rice?"

May 5rd was a turning point after "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" was broadcast in Hong Kong.

The ratings rose slightly the night before, and today people on the streets finally started discussing the content of the TV series.

"You know what, the film they shot really has the flavor of that era."

"Yeah, after watching "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" last night, I went to eat pineapple buns this morning. I was so hungry."

"Is this what Le Yan ate? I know which pineapple bun shop he loved to eat when he was filming a TV series in Hong Kong. Here's the name of the shop!"

A bald man with dark circles under his eyes wandered aimlessly in the old town of Hong Kong. Every time he heard similar remarks, he would give the discussant a 'grateful' smile.

The "crazy" old ladies rolled their eyes at him and turned to chat somewhere else.

Next to the psychopathic bald man, a young girl said:
"Director Su, the results seem to be the same as the data we got. The audience in Hong Kong are all over 45 years old."

Su Tian and others booked a direct flight to Hong Kong at noon today.

Today and tomorrow, they temporarily added two promotional activities for Li Yiran in the local area, and he had to fly in person to participate.

No matter what the result is, my sister-in-law is so awesome!
As the elder brother, he had to come over to thank her in person.
Before the evening event, the anxious Su Tian took his team to several key areas in Hong Kong to "understand the people's sentiments" and see what the penetration rate of "Sweet Honey" was.

Judging from the data currently available, the audience watching "Sweet Honey" is too old.

These older women can support the ratings of TV dramas, but as they are not familiar with the Internet, it is difficult for them to support the volume of online discussions.

One of the key reasons why "Sweet Honey" can beat other TV dramas of the same period in China is that fans of the two artists discuss it online every day without sleep, and the traffic just keeps growing.

Those who watch TV series are all uncles and aunts. When will the attention level be raised?
The ratings have increased, but without the voice on the Internet, it is difficult to explain to the higher-ups.

Su Tian went around several vegetable markets again.

Many people are spontaneously promoting "Sweet Honey". Whether you are passing by or looking for her to buy something, they will shout a few words.

"Le Yan actually foresaw the future and placed the chess piece so long in advance."

If Su Tian had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there was such a magical "marketing method" in the world.

This move is amazing!

At this moment, Su Tian was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

When Le Yan went out to socialize, he made things difficult for her and ignorantly thought of Le Yan as a sex demon.

He decided that if "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" could make a comeback in Hong Kong, he would make up for all the money he owed to Le Yan. And double it!

Before dark, the group drove to the event site.

Here, Su Tian must first complete the main purpose of his coming to Hong Kong.

"Yiran, thank you so much!" Su Tian ignored everything and went straight to the artist lounge. When he saw Li Yiran, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Li Yiran accepted the invitation last night and came to participate in the event today. They haven’t even signed a contract. And Li Yiran refused to take any remuneration.

How can he repay the life-saving favor?

Li Yiran was carefully preparing his outfit for the evening, and said calmly:

"Le Yan's business is my business. Director Su, please don't be so formal." Su Tian put his hands together on his forehead and made a gesture of gratitude:

"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, I will plan your wedding for you."

Li Yiran's face finally showed some emotion. She said in horror:
"No, no, Director Su, you don't have to do this."

A top film director like Su Tian, ​​in addition to making movies, would occasionally participate in bidding for some stage projects. However, as far as Li Yiran knew, the events that Su Tian had bid for were of the same scale as the Spring Festival Gala and the Olympic Games.

Our wedding. Isn't it inappropriate to hold the Spring Festival Gala or the Olympics?!
Fearing that the atmosphere would become awkward, Li Yiran continued to explain:
"You are Le Yan's friend, so you are also my friend. It is natural for friends to help each other."

Li Yiran casually shared her recent insights.

Su Tian couldn't tell whether Li Yiran was being polite or felt that he was not suitable to plan their wedding, but he remembered what Li Yiran said.

Le Yan and Li Yiran are friends that Su Tian will never forget in his life. They are friends worth their lives!

"In short, when you need me in the future, I will come at your call. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." Su Tian said with gratitude and excitement.

Mainland netizens often jokingly say that Hong Kong's star-chasing girls "eat too badly."

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is in a period of transition, with the old faces from decades ago still the most popular. Therefore, fans here have never really experienced the joy of chasing stars, nor the madness of "risking their lives for someone".

In Hong Kong, the most popular young male artist is a fat guy with ordinary looks, greasy makeup, and even worse professional ability than Soso.

We can't say that Hong Kong fans are so hungry that they will eat anything they want. We can only say that there is simply no food here.

I can’t eat anything and I’m so hungry.

Even if you throw a melon seed shell in there now, people will rush to taste it.

For mainland stars, the difficulty is not how to arrange and plan their development in Hong Kong, but how to kick open the door to Hong Kong and make the locals accept you.

Once the door is opened, everything that happens next is much easier.

Li Yiran has been active in Hong Kong for three months, and the number of fans on his Hong Kong fan site has exceeded 50.

This number is not impressive in the mainland, but in Hong Kong, where the total population is only more than 700 million, it can be said to be a household name.

Although Li Yiran's event that night was officially announced at the last minute, and although it was a purely supportive event that had nothing to do with her, the venue was already packed with people two hours before the event started.

A large number of young boys and girls holding fan tags and glow sticks gathered at the door, anxiously waiting to enter.

They haven't seen a young artist with such good looks, strong professional skills, and such a distinct and charming personality for many years.

I heard that Li Yiran will not be active in Hong Kong for too long.
Comrades, hurry up and go eat something delicious!

Since today's event was officially announced at short notice, there will be no ticket purchase or invoice process. Anyone who comes can enter.

The crew estimated that there would be more than 2000 people, but during security check, a rough count showed that there were at least 5000 people on site.

Fortunately, Su Tian asked his staff to rent a large stadium that could accommodate 1 people, so everything was under control.

However, after everyone entered the venue, the number of people counted was 5852, which shocked Su Tian greatly.

"Is Li Yiran so popular in Hong Kong?!"

Su Tian knew too well how difficult it was to break into the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

It’s only been three months and there are so many loyal fans?
Zhang Yan said proudly beside him:
"The event was announced too late. Only a small group came today. The main group will come tomorrow."

When Su Tian heard this, he quickly ordered someone to change the venue for tomorrow's event.

I'm afraid this stadium is not worthy of Li Yiran's "status" in Hong Kong.

Zhang Yan’s words gave Su Tian more confidence, and what made him excited was that all those who came to see Li Yiran were young men and women!

There seems to be hope for the much-needed online voice now!
He said to Zhang Yan in a sincere tone:
"Please help me talk to Yiran later. Today's event is very important to us. Please ask her to think of a way to create more gimmicks."

The event started at eight o'clock, and at this time "Sweet Honey" was being broadcast in Hong Kong.

According to the real-life data, their ratings have increased again compared to yesterday. As long as Li Yiran creates some good topics, Su Tian has prepared hundreds of shells to stir up public opinion in Hong Kong.

With the ratings and the discussion, we have passed this hurdle!
Zhang Yan rolled his eyes at him:
"Need I tell you? Yiran is even more anxious than you!"

How anxious is Li Yiran?

According to the event arrangement, she should go on stage after the host finished the opening remarks and linking remarks.

But as soon as the host read out the three words "Li Yiran", the fans below started screaming and shouting.

They shouted obscene words like 'Li Yiran, I love you', 'My wife is so beautiful', 'Li Yiran, you are my treasure' and so on, the roof was about to fall off.

The noise was too loud, so the host had to wait for it to quiet down before continuing with the next process.

But Li Yiran suddenly appeared from the backstage and came directly to the stage.

She picked up the microphone and said to the fans in the audience:

"I've said that I love my fans the most. If you keep calling my name, I'll come up and won't make you anxious."

The fans went even crazier.

When have they ever been treated like this?
Is this the fun of chasing stars?
I’m going to have fun!
"Li Yiran, I love you! You are so beautiful!!"

"Don't leave. Stay in Hong Kong forever, okay?"

"She really dotes on us! I love her so much!"

Not only did Li Yiran not ask for any compensation as a guest, he also did the job of host for free.

Amid the roar of waves, she continued:
"Welcome everyone to the audience interaction session for the TV series "Sweet Honey"."

As if he felt that the opening words were too long and cumbersome, Li Yiran threw away his hand card handsomely and said with a smile:
"Although I did not participate in the recording and post-production of "Sweet Honey", this TV show has a close connection with me."

"The male lead in the film, Le Yan, is my fiancé. I hope all the babies who like me can support it."

Swah——

The audience fell silent. (End of this chapter)
