hot……

The refrigerator is on air.

After a night of preparation.

Several terms eventually made it to the trending topics.

Related Weibo posts also sparked discussion:

[Yesterday's episode was good; there was a really handsome newcomer.]

What's the name of that down-to-earth, handsome guy?

[Haha, he's down-to-earth, but you guys don't know, he's illiterate.]

[Is his name Shen Jian? I've seen him before at Mercury Intelligence Bureau.]

He has very few followers on Weibo.

[...]

Shen Jian is doing quite well on Douyin.

But I rarely use Weibo.

Therefore, most of his followers on Weibo came from Douyin.

The number of fans on both sides is quite different.

He only has 20+ followers on Weibo.

More than half of them are zombie fans.

Liangmu and Lin Youyou had told him in a previous meeting that he should also start managing his Weibo account.

Although short videos have a lot of traffic.

However, the core promotional channels for celebrities include stills, publicity, and fan clubs, etc.

It's still operating on Weibo.

Therefore, simultaneous operation is necessary.

These past few days I've been waiting for official verification to be approved, and now I'm trying to figure out how to increase my follower count.

...

Early in the morning.

Shen Jian was woken up by a WeChat message.

I thought it was a thank-you message from someone in the group, or from Liangmu.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Teacher He and Ma Sichun.

[He Jiu: Shen Jian, congratulations! Your show "Refrigerator" premiered yesterday, and I feel the online reviews are quite positive. Keep up the good work!]

[Ma Sichun: Little brother, did you check the refrigerator yesterday? Your fans' comments are hilarious, it's trending today.]

Are you up yet? If you go to the company today, you'll probably see a lot of frontline workers.

Shen Jianxian replied to He Jiu.

I wrote a long list of heartfelt thanks.

Then I opened Ma Sichun's chat window.

[Shen Jian: I saw it, but I need to correct you, those who posted comments weren't fans.]

[Maschin: What is that?]

[Shen Jian: That's my dad.]

[Ma Sichun: Hahaha, speechless.]

[Shen Jian: By the way, you said a celebrity came back to the company today, what does that mean?]

[Ma Sichun: Didn't you see the trending topics? Tencent's Star Awards are coming up in a few days, so all the artists who want to attend need to go back to their companies to have their haute couture done.]

[Shen Jian: Aren't you going?]

[Ma Sichun: I don't know, mainly because I don't have any dramas airing on Tencent this year.]

[Shen Jian: Okay, I'm disappointed I can't see Sister Chun's evening gown.]

[Ma Sichun: Come on, by the way, I almost forgot about creating a group chat last time. I'll talk to Li Yi in a few days and ask her to create one so she can have some fun too.]

[Shen Jian: oJBk.]

I ended my chat with Ma Sichun.

Shen Jian opened Weibo and checked the trending topics.

It really is a warm-up for the Starlight Awards red carpet.

In fact, Huayu Entertainment holds many red carpet events every year.

However, the organizers behind them are all different.

Excluding official award ceremonies in film and music.

Tencent Video's "Star Awards"

The "Scream Night" hosted by iQiyi Video.

Weibo's "Weibo Night".

The "Douyin Night" event on Douyin is mostly just for internet celebrities and short drama actors.

There's also the Vogue Awards, hosted by fashion magazine heavyweight Wang Chong.

What appears to be a showcase for celebrities is actually a battle between major video giants behind the scenes.

Every year, new dramas on video platforms strive to achieve high viewership ratings.

If you release a big IP, I'll have to work on a big production.

Therefore, figuring out how to divide up the current top male and female influencers has become something that needs to be considered in advance almost every year.

Moreover, the long-running drama market has completely collapsed this year.

Many top actors may have to go through another reshuffle.

of course,

These things don't have much to do with Shen Jian right now.

But who knows, maybe one day he'll reach that level and experience the life of a top star.

...

Just arrived at the company.

Shen Jian did not see Liang Mu's figure.

I sent several WeChat messages but didn't get a reply.

I reckon she's being controlled by her family.

There was no training today, but I need to follow up on the promotion after the account became VIP, and also find a stand-up comedian to teach him.

I was just about to ask in the group.

Lin Youyou then pulled him over.

The atmosphere in the company seemed very lively at that moment.

Many employees were distracted and looking around.

Shen Jian: "Who's back?"

Lin Youyou: "Brother Wang is back. Wang Anyu is going to the Tencent Video All Star Awards red carpet, so he chose a high-end brand."

Shen Jian wasn't surprised, having already heard Ma Sichun mention it.

"By the way, can I go to the Tencent Video All Star Awards?"

"What do you think?" Lin Youyou looked at him helplessly: "You'll get invited when you have a Tencent drama in the future."

"What should we say then?"

"Let's wait for Sister Yang to finish her work."

...

It was almost noon.

Yang Tianzhen just finished here.

I was originally planning to take Wang Anyu to the elevator, but I happened to run into Shen Jian and Lin Youyou who came to find her.

"Sister Yang, I'm here."

Yang Tianzhen's expression tightened when she heard Shen Jian greet her.

She didn't know where the premonition came from, but a voice inside her was telling her that she absolutely couldn't let him come into contact with this guy!

"Alright, let's go." Yang Tianzhen urged Wang Anyu quickly, "This brand is pretty good, let's use their clothes."

Wang Anyu nodded, but she had already seen Shen Jian out of the corner of her eye.

"He's not..."

"What do you mean 'him'? He's just a newcomer. Alright, you should leave now," Yang Tianzhen urged.

But the result was the next second.

Wang Anyu took off his sunglasses, his face beaming with excitement: "Shen Jian? Hey, I saw you on social media! Seriously, you're awesome, you've got a real knack for making people swoon!"

Oh no, Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Shen Jian had already approached Lin Youyou at this moment.

This was his first time meeting Wang Anyu, a rising star heavily promoted by Yixin Entertainment, who is said to be about to be promoted to a higher level.

"Hello Brother Wang, I'm your fan."

Wang Anyu waved her hand: "No, no, I'm a fan of yours too, really. I often watch your inspirational articles on Douyin, and I also watch your live streams occasionally."

He's just like he appears on the show—down-to-earth and unpretentious.

Shen Jian felt that this was a person worth exchanging WeChat contacts with.

I was just about to take out my phone.

Yang Tianzhen interrupted directly and warned, "Shen Jian, what are you doing? Don't add anything!"

Seeing that Shen's movements had stopped, he looked helplessly at Yang Tianzhen:

"Brother Wang and I hit it off immediately, we get along really well, can't we add one more?"

Yang Tianzhen rolled her eyes: "You two just met and already said one thing: 'What kind of affinity is this?' You're not allowed to be a good match!"

Shen Jian nodded: "Alright, if we can't get along, then let's shoot hoops."

[One more hilarious joke]

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Shen Jian: "Brother Wang, I saw on the show that Shen Teng said you're on the school team. Hey, what a coincidence! I'm on the school team too! Let's play basketball sometime."

"Really? That's great, add me to the list. Let's play ball sometime."

When basketball is mentioned, Wang Anyu immediately gets excited.

According to online sources, his three hobbies are basketball, photography, and speaking Cantonese, with basketball being his number one.

Before Yang Tianzhen could say anything more, the two had already added each other on WeChat.

"Okay, we'll talk later. Bye, Sister Yang."

"Okay, Brother Wang."

Wang Anyu greeted them.

They took the elevator and left.

Yang Tianzhen was left speechless.

Lin Youyou leaned closer and whispered, "Mr. Yang, are you alright?"

Yang Tianzhen took a deep breath: "I've discovered that this guy is just my natural nemesis."

Shen Jian: "Wear Nike."

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."
