Chapter 218: Not a Villain, nor a Saint

In the ‘real future’, Luo Junning saw a very interesting word - traffic star!

Although he did not see the specific meaning of this word in the ‘real future’, from the literal meaning and the representative figures of traffic stars, he also analyzed the meaning of this word almost:

Stars themselves are the product of the attention economy. The more fans they have, the higher their commercial value.

The star effect is equivalent to the traffic in Internet products, and the Internet has been labeled as the attention economy since its birth. Traffic is king and the star effect has the same purpose.

When celebrities endorse Internet companies, in addition to considerable income, the equal amount of public attention between the two is the most critical point.

Traffic stars, in a broader sense, are used to compare the wide influence of an artist or star. It is also one of the keywords under the concept of attention economy, and also refers to those stars who are popular and have many fans.

Of course, after a few years of ‘glory’, this word has become a word with mixed reviews - on the one hand, it explains the huge number of fans and influence of traffic stars, and on the other hand, it also implies their ‘vase-like’ existence, lacking strong acting skills, singing skills and other professional skills.

The concept of traffic stars has not been popularized in this era, which is also related to the progress of the current Internet development, but stars in the same sense have already appeared.

Lin Yuner, in a sense, can also be regarded as a traffic star, and one of the top ones.

As Lin Yuner's brother, although Luo Junning doesn't want to admit it, Lin Yuner now relies mainly on her appearance and personality to attract so many huge traffic. In fact, this girl's singing and dancing can only be regarded as excellent, not top, otherwise S.M. Company would not have arranged her to debut as a member of Girls' Generation.

Do you really think that S.M. Company doesn't even know the different meanings of Girls' Generation and BoA?

BoA was able to get the dry shares of S.M. Company not only because of her teacher Lee Soo-man who raised her as his own daughter, but also because of the cost-effectiveness of the resources she consumed and the huge benefits and influence she brought to the company. Even if Girls' Generation did not have Luo Junning's appearance, even if it was as popular as in the "real future", S.M. Company did not give them some shares.

This does not explain everything, but it can also explain some situations from the side.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Yuner is not good enough, but her goodness and excellence are temporarily more inclined to her own talent.

For example, the several dramas that Luo Junning gave her,

although they brought her a good reputation and a dazzling resume, it was more because Luo Junning chose roles that suited Lin Yuner's personality, and even actively changed the personalities of these roles to Lin Yuner's own personality, which made her have a more dazzling performance and "acting skills".

Otherwise, with the resources in Luo Junning's hands, Lin Yuner would have been pushed to the big screen long ago. Is it really necessary to let Lin Yuner "retire" recently and develop the group with peace of mind?

These are just to comfort Lin Yuner's heart, to prevent this sensitive girl from thinking wildly.

When Lin Yuner has accumulated enough, Luo Junning will let Lin Yuner really go the way of an actor. You can't be an idol for a lifetime.

Not only Lin Yuner, but also the entire Girls' Generation, Crown, and even the girls in Four Minutes, Luo Junning sincerely arranged their future, instead of treating them as tools to make money, regardless of their development and future in five or ten years. From this aspect, he can be regarded as a good boss in China.

Although there may be some emphasis in this, it is human nature, isn't it?

No one will put lovers, sisters and ordinary friends on the same line. Even if such a person appears, he will not be a real saint, but just a villain who will be hypocritical to the extreme.

Obviously, Luo Junning is not a villain, but not a saint either.

So, although Girls' Generation has no direct contact with S.M., SJ's agent suddenly came to ask if Lin Yuner and Kim Heechul could have a closer interaction, just like when the two were in S.M. company... Luo Junning laughed, did they treat him as a fool? Even if Lin Yuner mentioned several times before that Kim Heechul was her "good sister" when she was a trainee, that was only during the trainee period.

After the real debut, what intersections did they have?

How did Park Jiaxi leave S.M. and even leave Korea? Didn't the manager know anything about it?

Moreover, he had just raised Lin Yuner well, and someone wanted to come and take advantage of her popularity, just like the jokes about taking advantage of the popularity of traffic stars in several variety shows in "Real Future". If he didn't know that this was not what Kim Heechul meant, Luo Junning would not have given Kim Heechul a good face on the set just now.

Now, he naturally won't reveal anything in front of Lin Yuner.

In front of Lin Yuner, Luo Junning is always a gentle and perfect big brother, but some things are remembered in his heart, and Luo Junning naturally has to find an explanation.

"Yoona, we're here, get up."

"Yes?"

Lin Yuna rubbed her eyes and woke up after more than ten seconds. She stuck out her tongue at Luo Junning embarrassedly and whispered, "Mianye, the song my brother sang just now was so beautiful that Yuna accidentally fell asleep."

Luo Junning chuckled and pinched Lin Yuna's little nose, saying, "You don't even know how to flatter me. Are you saying that I sang a lullaby?"

"whee!"

Lin Yoona smiled mischievously, but this cute expression made Luo Junning completely defeated: "There is nothing I can do about you, let's go, get off the car, don't keep Xiuyan and the others waiting."

"Yeah, Yoona knows that my brother is the best to Yoona!" Lin Yoona said happily, then suddenly stretched her neck and kissed Luo Junning on the cheek, then ran out of the car giggling.

Luo Junning was stunned for a moment, looking at Jessica and Lin Yuner who were hugging each other outside the car door. She took out the mirror in Jessica's handbag seriously and looked at it. She didn't find any lipstick, and then she felt relieved.

There was no way, Lin Yun'er was really too sinister, and he was very worried that this dead girl would dig a hole for him.

"Jun Ning, you're here. It's too late. We are all waiting for you."

Liu Zaishi is the only one who can joke with Luo Junning like this.

Luo Junning smiled and waved her hand: "I went to attend the closing ceremony of "The Birth of a Family 2" and picked up Yoona by the way. It was a bit late. But the scheduled filming time has not come yet. Isn't there anyone else?" come on."
