Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1296 - 557: Another Big Sensation! (Part 3)

Clicking into a Weibo post, Liu Xin'an swiped through some comments.

Hmm...

The fans have already started coordinating their comments.

And this marketing account post... it's most likely hired by S-M as fake commenters.

Weibo is not very reliable, so Liu Xin'an switched to Bilibili and Korea's NAVER.

There are quite a few fake commenters on NAVER too, but Bilibili seems a bit more normal.

Yet even so, Red Velvet is still trending high on the hot search list.

Even if there's a restriction, it can't curb the hype of this show.

After a quick glance, Liu Xin'an returned to his livestream room and started an enthusiastic discussion with his viewers about the first episode of the show.

Meanwhile, S-M is buzzing with excitement.

Red Velvet once again proved why they are at the top now.

The release of their group show boosted S-M's stock prices once more, the last time such an increase happened was when Bae Juhyun's personal show was released.

Yes... the recent back-to-back rises in stock prices are both related to Bae Juhyun.

This level of success can no longer be merely described as terrifying.

But following the surprise is a happy dilemma.

Even though the company intends to suppress Bae Juhyun's popularity, for now, her popularity is still unstoppable.

Whether to use this momentum to elevate Red Velvet's achievements further or to release Bae Juhyun's first solo track... this is a happy dilemma for Director Kim and even for Lee Seongju.

"Director, the achievements are a bit overwhelming."

Seong Taekyon burst into Director Kim's office excitedly, shouting to the man behind the desk.

Director Kim looked up and smiled, "I already know."

"What should we do next? Should we release the comeback news as the enthusiasm is at its peak now?"

"Wait a bit more, isn't the Xiamen episode yet to air?"

Kim's calm voice quickly brought Seong Taekyon back to calmness. He took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly.

There was nothing he could do; Red Velvet was his artiste. For so many years, Red Velvet's popularity and discussion have always been overshadowed by contemporaries like Twice and BlackPink. Now, he finally had a chance to turn the tables, he'd be lying if he wasn't excited.

"Do we need to do anything now? Promotions? Hype?"

"No need to do anything, reject any invitations for Irene and the others for now."

"Really?"

"Yes, let's wait and see."

This is just the first episode airing, everything is merely just the beginning.

———

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god."

In the Red Velvet dorm, a few girls were hugging and shouting together.

In front of her close younger sisters, Bae Juhyun lost her usual mature demeanor, hugging Kang Seulgi and screaming excitedly like a child.

On the contrary, Son Seungwan, who is usually the most hyper in variety shows, now appeared calm and collected.

Well, that's if you ignored the excitement gleaming in her eyes.

She was equally thrilled, just not as expressive as the others.

"Can't we call Xin'an over for a celebration party!"

The explosive success of this show was inseparable from the attention of the Chinese fans and Liu Xin'an.

Both emotionally and rationally, they should treat the brother-in-law who looked out for them on Bae Juhyun's behalf to a nice meal.

Yes, brother-in-law.

Now even if Bae Juhyun wanted to backtrack, it wouldn't be possible. If Liu Xin'an jokingly expressed his distress to Kang Seulgi and the others, the younger sisters might just tie Bae Juhyun up and send her to Liu Xin'an's house!

Uh... that's a bit exaggerated, but this is indeed their sentiment.

"Hey, our success is because of us, it has nothing to do with him!"

Only Bae Juhyun could say such words, and even she felt a bit guilty saying them.

She was no longer the Bae Juhyun who was often tricked by Liu Xin'an and knew nothing about China.

She was well aware that, in terms of popularity, she was far behind Liu Xin'an in China.

It's just that most of her fans were girls, who tend to be more enthusiastic than boys when it comes to being fans. So it seemed like she had high popularity with many fans.

But in terms of fame and buzz, her gap with Liu Xin'an was not just a small one.

So saying she was riding Liu Xin'an's wave wasn't an exaggeration.

Hmm... inviting him to a meal seemed right too.

"Oh, Xin'an is also a part of this show, and the success is also related to him."

"Exactly, and... Xin'an calculated us so much on the show, don't you want to get back at him a little, Juhyun?"

Kim Yerin's whisper was like a devil's whisper.

Bae Juhyun recalled the variety show she just watched, her expression turning complicated.

Now that she thought about it...

Maybe...

It really was like that!

So she stopped hesitating, and with familiarity, she pulled out her phone and dialed her boyfriend's number.

A few seconds later, a man's voice came from the other end of the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, come over."

Encouraged by her sisters, Miss Bae was full of dissatisfaction.

She hadn't watched the first episode, so everything she saw was new to her.

Although she knew her boyfriend had coordinated with the production team, actually seeing it on screen made her a bit annoyed.

Thus, her tone wasn't particularly friendly.

However, what she thought was an unfriendly tone, sounded incredibly endearing to Liu Xin'an.

"To your dorm?"

"Yeah... never mind, we'll come to you."

The dorm was a bit small compared to home, and there were some things in the dorm that weren't convenient for Liu Xin'an to see.

Rather than tidy up now, it was better to choose home as the celebration venue directly.

With that decision made, Bae Juhyun hung up the call directly.

Leaving Liu Xin'an on the other end scratching his head in confusion.

This...
