My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

However, there were specific requirements that they were supposed to follow. They had to be discreet in creating intentional hype and were not allowed to pay for trending hashtags or top searches.

But all of them knew the current market conditions well. To become a superstar, the first step was to create enough media visibility and coverage for raising her profile. Also, in order to help with exposure, she had to be the top search term for at least five times a month.

As such, it was a well-known secret in the industry that almost all of the most popular celebrities had paid a sum to manipulate search engine results.

As Nan Chen had already stated that paying for trending searches was not an option, they could only think of means to deliberately create hype for the woman in a discreet enough way.

Under such stringent restrictions, it was extremely hard for the team to create a superstar out of Ning Ran, especially given her current almost obscure status.

However, none of the four dared to raise any objections in front of Nan Chen. They merely gave each other knowing looks.

Ning Ran herself was shocked as well. She did not expect Poker Face to summon her here to meet with the senior management team of Star Entertainment. Moreover, the purpose of tonight’s meeting was to mold her into an A-list celebrity.

“Mr. Chen, I’m afraid it’s an immensely challenging task,” Wang Xiaoou broke the silence.

Wang Xiaoou was a first-class artiste manager and was well-respected in the country’s entertainment industry. She was also known for her straightforward character.

As she spoke, the three men heaved a sigh of relief. Someone had to take the lead, and they were glad that it was Wang Xiaoou.

No response came from Nan Chen.

“If it was going to be easy, we wouldn’t have invited all of you to come here personally today,” Jiang Zhe replied on behalf of his boss.

“Each industry has its own rules. For ours, it would be extremely difficult for an artiste to gain popularity without intentional hyping activities. Paying for top searches is one of the most effective strategies the industry utilizes to help an artiste gain traction. It may be possible for an artiste to shoot to the top without doing any of those, but it would have to take longer, and we would have to catch the right timing. In fact, nothing would work without the right timing. There are many artistes who had waited for their entire career for such an opportunity but to no avail. Those people end up struggling at the bottom, despite having real abilities. There are also actors and actresses who had taken part in numerous films and dramas but were never recognized on the streets, even though they had displayed brilliant acting skills in the various productions. Mr. Nan, you should know that having solid abilities does not have a direct correlation to an artiste’s popularity. Some of today’s most popular celebrities are not good at their crafts at all. I’m not saying that… “
