Trending Search?

What an unfamiliar term. How long has it been since he was dismissed from his agency because of his baldness and hasn't appeared on the trending list?

Du Rufeng's efficiency is simply amazing!

Liao Zisheng was overjoyed.

Young Master Du truly lives up to his reputation as a big shot!

I'd long heard that Young Master Du was generous and lavish, but I never imagined he was even more extravagant than the rumors suggested!

Liao Zisheng hurriedly opened the Douyin entertainment rankings and saw his own video with just a glance.

It ranked 97th on the entertainment charts, with over three million clicks.

Douyin is a truly national app, with users ranging from people in their eighties and nineties to children who can't even count yet. It has hundreds of millions of users in China alone, not to mention those overseas.

Even at the bottom of the rankings, it still has millions of views!

"Finally! I've finally made it back onto the Trending Search list!"

"No, Old Liao, you're still not satisfied. Over three million views and a ranking of ninety-seventh is still too little. You're only three places away from dropping off the list!"

"This ranking is too dangerous, I need to add fuel to the fire!"

Liao Zisheng looked at the three videos behind him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

After twenty years of silence, he's finally managed to make a splash; how could he allow himself to be pushed off the list?

Back then, he was Top Star in the Entertainment Industry. Even a sneeze or a fever could attract countless fans to offer their concern and care.

A single advertising endorsement can generate over a million in revenue.

But everything changed after his hair loss and baldness were discovered.

Fans abandoned him, advertisers blacklisted him, and his agency sidelined him.

In less than a few months, he went from Top Star a garbage dump.

Meanwhile, the team members he once trampled underfoot have become top celebrities in the Entertainment Industry through their humor or acting skills.

Heavens above!

Why am I losing hair when I'm so handsome?

Why are those ugly bastards able to easily become Top Star? Are their fans and viewers blind?

And then there are those fraudulent experts who claim to be able to cure alopecia areata. Before you pay them, they pat their chests and guarantee that they can cure baldness. But after they take millions of dollars from you, they turn on you and say that baldness is something you are born with and that you should just let it go.

If I could let go of this, would I have had to wait until today?

Times have changed. If you can't be a young, handsome idol, you can totally go for the path of a melancholic, middle-aged man.

So what if you have alopecia areata? Who says someone with alopecia areata can't be an idol?

Young people today enjoy novelty and can accept Fu Shouer, so who says they can't accept a bald, melancholic older man?

Young people have very discerning tastes; what if I become one of them?

"Agent, immediately buy me traffic and boost my comments to get my ranking up!"

Liao Zisheng couldn't wait to call his agent.

"Huh? Are you sure?"

On the other end of the phone, the agent stared in shock at Liao Zisheng's video trending on the hot list.

Why is Liao Zisheng so crazy that this video is getting so popular?

At this point, Liao Zisheng had not yet opened the video and did not know what it contained.

"Old Liao, I know young people these days like novelty, but are you sure the audience can accept something this bizarre?"

"Young people's tastes are hard to predict, and being infamous is still being famous, so stop talking nonsense. I'll cover the cost of the traffic!"

Liao Zisheng grew impatient listening to his agent's complaints.

That useless agent couldn't help him regain his fame in over a decade. If it weren't for their long-standing friendship, he would have kicked the guy out long ago.

"Old Liao, don't be so impulsive. Data charges are extremely high these days, and you already have a lot of debt on your account..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't I still have another house? Mortgage that house and get it done right now!"

Liao Zisheng screamed.

On the phone, the agent remained silent, with only the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, repetitive humming of his voice.

Damn it, am I hallucinating?

Liao Zisheng rubbed his ears vigorously. How come he could hear Nine-Turn Large Intestine rhetoric even when answering the phone?

Could it be that the manager also likes to eat this?

Thinking of the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, Liao Zisheng gritted his teeth in anger, and Xu Yi's face appeared before his eyes.

A newly minted Director, how dare he mess with me!

Once I'm famous enough to become a household name, I'll make that Xu guy pay the price!

"Since you're so insistent, I'll help you make it happen. I hope you won't regret it."

The agent glanced at the Nine-Turn Large Intestine on the screen again, sighed, and finally gave in.

Maybe he really is getting old and can't keep up with the tastes of today's young people?

The cutting-edge fashion Editorial Department in Magic City.

Bai Shaoyan, who had spent twenty years working in the program team and finally became the Editor-in-Chief, was looking at his Editorial Department with a face full of emotion.

Being a beast of burden isn't easy!

It is even more difficult to be a slave who has worked hard for twenty years and then turned the tables and became the master of his own destiny!

Fortunately, he had a pillar of support. Whenever he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, he would watch his idol's DVDs to draw strength, and finally he made it through!

"Editor-in-Chief, the Douyin entertainment rankings have been updated!"

"Douyin is a national-level app. Those who make it onto this list are all incredibly popular and have enormous commercial potential!"

"Our Editorial Department's mission is to discover new talent, sign endorsement deals with them before they become famous, and push them to major manufacturers to earn advertising revenue!"

"The market is highly competitive now. Don't just focus on young people; consider all three generations (young, middle-aged, and older). Analyze carefully from all angles, as each market has unique preferences!"

"Manufacturers have already prepared hundreds of millions in endorsement fees. As long as it can attract traffic and increase product exposure, they won't be stingy!"

"Enough with the small talk, let's begin!"

At Bai Shaoyan's command, the Editorial Department sprang into action.

The top ten on the list were skipped entirely.

These are all currently popular celebrities who have already proven their commercial value. Although they have huge fan bases, their endorsements have already been snatched up by others. Even if they were to forcibly acquire them, the profit would not be significant.

Time ticked by, and Bai Shaoyan frowned.

These days, young people don't have the same drive as I did back then. Ten minutes have passed, and not a single person has reported anything!

"Everyone, get your act together! If we don't sign three people today, be prepared to work overtime!"

Bai Shaoyan cracked the whip of an ox or horse, playing the 'Blessings'!

With the Blessings, it wasn't long before an editor sent Bai Shaoyan a video.

In the video, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl is dancing.

She dances in various styles with ease, and her energetic smile, radiating vitality despite the sweat, has won countless praises.

Like a tireless lark, she captivated countless viewers with her energy and smile.

"My idol is amazing! Watching her dance made all my fatigue from the whole day disappear!"

"Wow, you're so beautiful! I'm going to keep cheering you on!"

Despite seeing the screen full of praising comments, Bai Shaoyan's expression remained completely unchanged.

Are these naive young people really that easily won over?
