Pan Yuerou knew that her sudden surge in online traffic had affected herself and those around her, so she quickly apologized to her other roommates and prepared to move out of the dormitory and find a place to rent for a while.
Fu Meihua asked with concern, "Yue Rou, given the current situation, which company are you planning to sign with?"
Actually, the immense popularity of "The Imperial Decree" was somewhat unexpected for both of them.
After all, the production values of "The Imperial Decree" and "The Legend of Zhaohua" are obvious to all. Even Pan Yuerou herself did not expect that her character "An Lanyue" would beat the female lead played by Yu Xuezheng to become one of the most popular female leads in the summer season.
It's worth noting that Yu Xuezheng has been famous in the industry for many years. Regardless of the quality of her dramas, they can always become the focus of viewership and business. The script of "The Legend of Zhaohua" did have some problems, but the reason why its reputation turned around at this time and became the target of many people's criticism is largely because there was another drama, "The Imperial Decree," airing at the same time.
The exhilarating and satisfying moments of "Royal Destiny" almost became the outlet for the frustration of "The Legend of Zhaohua." It was like drinking Chinese medicine and then finding sugar water. The more aggressively "The Legend of Zhaohua" was promoted, the more people watched it. When passing by "Royal Destiny," they couldn't help but stop and take a few sips to relieve their frustration.
It's no exaggeration to say that "The Imperial Decree" rose to prominence by stepping on "The Legend of Zhaohua".
Recently, some of Pan Yuerou's publicly disclosed social media accounts have been quite offensive. Many of Yu Xuezheng's fans have sent her well-meaning "greetings," and Pan Yuerou's parents have been bombarding her with messages. Pan Yuerou, who never expected this wave of attention to be so "dangerous," is now too afraid to even open her social media accounts.
Fortunately, she is still in school, otherwise she would really be worried about being hunted down by crazy Yu fans offline.
Hearing her best friend's words, Pan Yuerou was also a little troubled: "I have indeed received a lot of offers from companies recently, but I am not quite sure about any of them."
Pan Yuerou consulted her teacher, who advised her to calm down and not sign with any company hastily, especially not a few large ones. She should carefully observe the situation. After all, Pan Yuerou's current popularity is only temporary; no one knows what will happen next. It's common for someone to suddenly become famous, only to be exploited after signing with a company and then disappear without a trace.
The only help the teacher can give her is to give her a final check; her future development in the company will depend on her own efforts and the company's plans.
After listening to her teacher's reminder, Pan Yuerou felt a little scared and generally declined the offers from these talent agencies.
"I don't really want to sign the contract."
Pan Yuerou lowered her voice and said, "I still have a year of study left. I want to finish my studies first before signing with the company."
"My goodness, you absolutely mustn't think like that! Right now is the peak of your popularity, and the contracts you're negotiating are the best. If you wait another year, who knows what your popularity and buzz will be like then?"
Upon hearing Pan Yuerou's words, Fu Meihua immediately became anxious.
"Why don't you take a look at Jiaxing Entertainment? The contract they offered is pretty good—oh right, and Xingchen Entertainment too! They're backed by Xingchen Pictures, so once you get in, you'll be practically a movie star, and you'll definitely have tons of resources."
I don't really like Jiaxing Entertainment.
Pan Yuerou frowned.
The celebrity she used to idolize was Su Shengxi, and Su Shengxi's agency was Jiaxing Entertainment.
As a fan, she knew all too well the ugly things Jiaxing Entertainment had done over the years. The only person she had any affection for was their manager, Su Shengxi. But now that Su Shengxi had retired from the entertainment industry and their manager, Liu Rulan, had also left Jiaxing, Pan Yuerou didn't want to jump into that fire pit herself.
"Xingchen Entertainment has Yu Xuezheng, are you sure they'll treat me well if I join their company?"
The people who are criticizing her the most right now are Yu Xuezheng's fans. Xingchen Entertainment has also suffered some losses because of the "Zhaohua Biography" incident. Pan Yuerou doesn't even dare to think about what their purpose and thoughts were in inviting her to be an artist of Xingchen Entertainment...
After being flatly rejected by Pan Yuerou, Fu Meihua slumped onto the table with a headache and said helplessly, "But the conditions they offered were already the best. Besides, big companies should have basic credibility, right?"
Pan Yuerou clicked her tongue lightly: "Those big companies are even more ruthless."
If they weren't ruthless, how could they become a big company?
"well--"
Fu Meihua sighed with some melancholy.
"It's a pity that Linghui Studio doesn't accept other artists, otherwise it would be great if you went to their place. At least everyone had a very pleasant collaboration this time."
