Chapter 253 Xiao Zhang Becomes Popular, It's Uneven
Just two days after the school anniversary celebration, the drama "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" was released.
Although the investment in this film is not large, it is still a key project for Tencent.
Over 100 million views in 24 hours!
For a low-budget youth film, this is already a remarkable achievement.

.....
Many related searches trended on Weibo, and Zhang Ruonan's popularity skyrocketed.
The most obvious example is that his Weibo followers have exceeded four million.
Previously, Zhang Ruonan had accumulated nearly two million fans thanks to her status as an artist under Lanke Entertainment and her previous experience as a Taobao model.
The premiere of this drama marked the beginning of Zhang Ruonan's transformation from an online model to a celebrity.
Also, the movie "Cry Me a Sad River" was released during the National Day holiday.
Two works, one web series and one movie!
The target audiences are actually quite different, but both undoubtedly brought Zhang Ruonan's popularity to a peak.
Of course, Tencent and Lanco Entertainment are also making moves behind the scenes.
Numerous short videos and various other media outlets feature videos and press releases about Zhang Ruonan.
With the double boost in popularity, Zhang Ruonan's name has gained some attention and recognition.
"I keep seeing Zhang Ruonan on my feed lately."
"Her acting is quite good, and I heard she didn't have formal training to become famous."
"Zhang Ruonan is an artist under Lanke Entertainment, the same company as Bai Lu and Tian Xiwei."
......
Even some casual observers who didn't usually follow the entertainment industry now know the name Zhang Ruonan.
Those who frequently follow the Chinese entertainment industry are not entirely unfamiliar with the name Zhang Ruonan.
Zhang Ruonan has made headlines several times before, though it was all just riding the wave of popularity!
However, they were all riding on their own company's popularity, and many people have some impression of Zhang Ruonan.
Now that both the web series and the movie are available online, these casual viewers have been transformed into fans.
"You acted quite well!"
"I've watched both the web series and the movie; you could say it was a natural performance."
.....
Many people still have a very good impression of Zhang Ruonan!
Of course, Zhang Ruonan's rise to fame also proves the capabilities of Chen Jingyuan or Lan Ke Entertainment.
Since Zhang Ruonan rose to fame as a new actress, every artist under Lanke Entertainment has become well-known.
If it were just one or two examples, it could be considered lucky, but now there's already a third one.
This doesn't even take Chen Keke into account!
Although Chen Keke's popularity was boosted by Chen Jingyuan's fame, it is still more stable than that of many other celebrities.
As long as Chen Jingyuan doesn't cause any problems, Chen Keke's popularity will remain high.
After all, his status speaks for itself!
Just like Wang Sicong, the "nation's husband," his fame comes from his status.
The attention they've always received is similar to that of Chen Keke.
In addition, with Zhang Ruonan becoming a rising star among young actresses, the term "Lan Ke Four Beauties" has also begun to emerge.
If Zhang Ruonan's popularity continues to rise, she will truly deserve the title of a top-tier actress.
The reason is that Zhang Ruonan and Bai Lu are still quite far apart.
The reason why Chen Keke is ranked alongside Bai Lu is mainly due to her special status.
For Zhang Ruonan, the explosive popularity of both the web series and the movie left her somewhat dazed.
"Becoming a star doesn't seem that hard!?"
Zhang Ruonan murmured softly, but she was still self-aware.
Without Brother Chen's arrangements, it would have been impossible for things to go so smoothly.
The rise to fame brought various benefits, with numerous endorsement deals coming their way.
The price for inviting guests to variety shows has also increased several times over.
The era of internet traffic is not over yet, and although the salary cap has been imposed, it has not had much impact on Zhang Ruonan.
Thinking about the millions he could earn next, Zhang Ruonan was quite satisfied.
When I was a model, I could earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, but it wasn't a fixed amount.
Earning millions at once is something I never even dared to dream of!
In just over a year since she signed with Lanco Entertainment, she has undergone a complete transformation.
Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky.
You can run into Sister Liu even when you're shopping!
While Zhang Ruonan's star began to shine, there was someone at the Beijing Film Academy who was quite disappointed.
That's Zhou Ye!
Due to some stimuli, she previously chose to join Hesong Media and become an artist under the management of top actress Li Bingbing.
Li Bingbing is very optimistic about Zhou Ye in all aspects.
From the very beginning, Zhou Ye was given a supporting role as the second female lead in "Mr. Swimmer" alongside Ju Jingyi.
Although she wasn't the female lead, it was still quite good.
Many newcomers are lucky if they can get a major supporting role at the beginning, let alone the second female lead.
Moreover, Dilraba Dilmurat rose to fame with her role as the second female lead, Gao Wen.
Wang Churan, who recently rose to fame, is also the second female lead.
At first, Zhou Ye still had a lot of hope!
Just two weeks ago, this show, "Mr. Swimmer," was launched on Mango Video.
It received poor reviews and had low viewership, with a rating of only 5.5.
This show doesn't even pass the mark; it's definitely a terrible show.
While there are instances where actors become popular despite the poor quality of a drama, this drama does not have that problem.
Even the fans of the female lead, Ju Jingyi, launched a lot of attacks on Zhou Ye, feeling that their idol was being dragged down by the newcomer!
Zhou Ye has fallen into an undeserved disaster!
However, the fan attacks didn't generate much buzz, mainly because there are too many projects in the Chinese entertainment industry.
A bad drama naturally doesn't attract much attention.
Even the production platform didn't have the idea of hyping it up, because the topic wouldn't generate enough buzz.
The failure of this drama was a significant blow to Zhou Ye.
She had actually thought about becoming famous through a TV series before.
Even if one doesn't become famous, as long as the drama is successful, one can still accumulate some popularity, which is acceptable.
It turns out that I was just overthinking things!
Zhou Ye was completely distraught, unsure if the company would give her another chance.
Zhou Ye felt even more distressed as Zhang Ruonan became famous.
If I had joined Lanco Entertainment back then, would I already be a top-tier actress?
How could she be as unknown as she is now, practically invisible in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Zhou Ye couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but the problem was that the contract had already been signed.
It's too late to regret it!
Originally, Zhou Ye's timeline was supposed to continue developing, but unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan intercepted the work ahead of time.
For example, Zhou Ye's wildly popular film "Better Days" is definitely not going to be made.
Zhou Ye's path will certainly not be as smooth as it originally was.
Although Zhou Ye regretted it, he didn't show it.
Because she had another chance, which was the movie "Unbelievable".
She also played the second female lead in this movie, so it's not like she didn't have a chance.
Or rather, Zhou Ye can only place his hopes on this one film now.
Following the failure of her first project, Hesong Media did not offer her any roles.
Her agent told her to calm down for a while; Zhou Ye wasn't stupid.
It's obvious they're just worried about her first film as a newcomer failing, and that she needs to be more cautious in the future.
She couldn't help but think of the artists at Lanco Entertainment, who had already acted in projects that hadn't even been released yet, and now they had another project coming out.
Take Zhang Ruonan, who just became popular, for example. After playing the second female lead in a movie, she immediately took on the lead role in another one.
Afterwards, he also received a lot of variety show opportunities, and the more he compared himself to others, the more unbalanced he felt.
