Chinese Title: 显性新人燕清池，隐性霸总江默宸

Thank you for the kofi! Yes, I’m still trying to catch up for everything.

Yan Qing Chi sat in a chair.
In his left hand, he held his script; in his right, he held his phone and browsed Weibo.
He saw that the number one trending topic was that《Lost》’s filming production had started and clicked on the topic.
When the topic page loaded, he discovered that aside from the press reports and the marketing Weibo accounts, the majority was Jiang Mo Chen’s fanbase Little House’s fervent reposts and recommendations.  　　

“Ahhhhhhhh who’s more good-looking than yesterday’s gege? Today’s gege.
Gege’s charming face is also earnestly working hard today.”　　

“Recommending《Lost》to the whole world.
Recommending Jiang Mo Chen, who is the best, to the whole world.”　　

“I absolutely WILL NOT1 allow anyone who looks at my home page to not know that filming for《Lost》starts today!”

“Wahhh—Does such an attractive person really exist? It must have been exhausting for gege to descend from the heavens, 1551.” 2　　

Yan Qing Chi scrolled through the posts.
As he did so, he couldn’t resist from bursting out in laughter, “Are all fans like this?” He turned to look towards his assistant Little He, “They’re quite cute.”　　

Little He’s full name was He Fei.
He had a round face, appearing to be super amicable.
He glanced at the page on Yan Qing Chi’s screen and thought about the fangirls that he had met, replying, “The majority of the fans are like this.
Their hearts and eyes are filled to the brim with their idols.
Everyday, they seem to have unlimited passion, always charging passionately to the front lines to support and cheer for their idol.”　　

After he finished, Yan Qing Chi asked him in curiosity, “Jiang Mo Chen’s fans are called ‘Little Houses’?”　　

“Yes.
In the very beginning, they were called ‘Chen Stars’3.
Afterwards, there was a fan who said that ‘Chen’ means ‘(literary) house/building’.
Baidu says that it’s a house in the deep night.
So the fans called themselves ‘Little Houses’.4 Then during an interaction segment at a fan-meeting, they asked Chen-ge to pick a fan name.
After Chen-ge heard about it, he chose ‘Little House’.
And it was decided just like that.”

Yan Qing Chi nodded.
He entered 《Lost》’s official Weibo page and saw that under the post made in the morning about production starting, it was completely full of Jiang Mo Chen’s fans’ comments and reblogs.
It took Yan Qing Chi a good while to locate the comments made by the respective fans of the second male lead, Ji Si Xing, and the female lead, Zhao Qiang.　　

“Aren’t they supposed to also currently be popular?” He was quite confused, “Why don’t they have a lot of fans?”　　

“It’s not that they don’t have a lot of fans, it’s that Chen-ge has too many fans.” Little He replied, “There is a difference between popular celebrities.
The two of them do indeed count as the more popular male and female celebrity in these past two years.
However, they’re still a long ways off from Chen-ge’s level.
Chen-ge could be considered as being at the peak of popularity in the entertainment circle.”

Got it.
There was a wall between the male lead and everyone else.
Yan Qing Chi instantly understood.　　

He continued to scroll down and suddenly noticed that someone had posted a screen-shot of his picture from the filming launch ceremony.
They asked——Who is this xiao gege?5  I’ve never seen him before, he’s quite good-looking.　　

Below this comment was a chain of people who were also curious chiming in with “+1”.　　

After Yan Qing Chi signed on with Nan Cheng, Guan Mei browsed through his filmography resume.
He signed on with Xing Yue after he graduated from university and then began his celebrity career.
But as an entertainment company which was more like a small workshop, there was no way that Xing Yue could provide suitable opportunities for every one of its artists.　　

Among the six artists under Xing Yue’s name, Zhu Li6—who was deeply favored by the boss—had a manager all to himself.
The remaining five, including Yan Qing Chi, shared a manager—Li Jiang.
Li Jiang didn’t have any connections and Xing Yue didn’t invest in any films.
Moreover, the artists in their company were all completely obscure rookies.
Thus, the opportunities that they were able to obtain were not any good opportunities.
The majority of the advertisements or magazine photo shoots had nothing to do with reputation7, they purely focused on their faces and physiques.
Aside from that, there were a couple movie and drama roles that served a purpose in the plot, such as the soldier who had two lines and was slain, or the eunuch who had a scene because he poisoned someone.

Among them, excluding Zhu Li who was backed by the boss and thus able to borrow the company’s resources to have proper film opportunities, the best opportunity was probably that variety show in which Yan Qing Chi and Wei Lan had met.
However, within the same variety show, Wei Lan was the center of attention the entire duration of the show whereas Yan Qing Chi was merely one of the crowd actors in charge of drawing out the protagonist of the show—Wei Lan—at the start.
　　

This also resulted in Yan Qing Chi being virtually the same as a complete rookie despite having entered the industry for a year.
After she finished reviewing his filmography career, Guan Mei wasn’t sure whether she should cry or laugh.
She wasted close to no effort at all in erasing any traces of Yan Qing Chi on the internet, wrapping him up as a total rookie and presenting him anew.  　　

Naturally, Yan Qing Chi had no objections towards this.
He wasn’t that familiar with the rules of the game within the entertainment industry.

Yan Qing Chi had thought that Guan Mei would keep following him, but after the launch ceremony in the morning, Guan Mei and Jiang Mo Chen talked for a while.
When she came back, she told him that she had to go to another artist.
He had Jiang Mo Chen here to take care of him, so he should be fine.
If he needed anything or had any concerns, he should go find Jiang Mo Chen.　　

Yan Qing Chi turned to look at Jiang Mo Chen with a bewildered expression, only to see Jiang Mo Chen give a slight nod in confirmation.　　

“She…She just left like that?”　　

“There’s no point in her staying anyway.
If you need someone to hand you tea and pour water for you, buy your meal and run errands, there’s Little He to help you.
If you need, I can also lend you the two assistants by my side.” 　　

After hearing the other man’s reply, Yan Qing Chi surveyed the surroundings before he realized that Jiang Mo Chen hadn’t brought his manager, “Where’s your manager?”　　

“I let him go manage other people.” Jiang Mo Chen expressed very naturally, “Taking on other movies during the duration of filming for 《Lost》 is not allowed.
You and I don’t have to make appearances on any variety shows either, which means that we are basically staying in the filming crew up until filming ends.
Rather than keep our managers confined here and wasting time, why not let them take this time to acquire more opportunities or manage new artists? An assistant is sufficient enough.”　　

“You really……have the awareness of being a boss.”　　

“What else did you think?” Jiang Mo Chen smiled, “Sooner or later, there will come a day that I will step down.
But Nan Cheng will always exist.
So I want to do my best during the time when I have the greatest value to help Nan Cheng bring even more people to great heights, to obtain even more resources.
In this way, even if I’ve stepped down, Nan Cheng would still have new talents rising.
It’s just like the lapping waves of Penghu waters.
8 Like this, the company would be able to last for a long time.”

Yan Qing Chi was bowled over by his mentality of taking actions not to benefit himself, but to benefit the company.
He couldn’t resist applauding the other man, “Incredible, incredible.
If you didn’t enter the entertainment industry, you would already probably be the legendary overbearing CEO.”　　

Jiang Mo Chen gave a smile that showed off his teeth, “I am one.”　　

And then, Jiang-“Current Film Emperor”-“Covert Overbearing CEO”-Mo Chen9 was called over by the director to discuss matters regarding the filming.　　

Yan Qing Chi glanced at the fans on Weibo who were still singing Jiang Mo Chen’s praises, then at the Jiang Mo Chen in front of his eyes who was currently discussing the script with the director.
He took the opportunity to sneak a peek at Jiang Mo Chen’s fans who came to welcome their idol and hadn’t left yet.
For the first time, it truly struck him that he really had already entered the legendary entertainment industry.　　

Who knows how things will turn out, what he (YQC) will accomplish.10 Yan Qing Chi gazed at the person before him and hoped that he would be able to earn more money.
After all, with money, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Footnotes

Added emphasis.One of the connotations of 1551 is “uwuuwu” (like bawling and being cute).”辰星” (Chen Xing) – Mercury in ancient Chinese astrology, apparently.
But it’s the ‘Chen’ in ‘Jiang Mo Chen’ and ‘Xing’ as in ‘Star’.
I think it might be a flipped version of “星辰” (xīngchén) which means “stars” but has the “Chen” character in JMC.
‘Little/Small Houses’ = 小房子 Xiao Fang Zi.
Raw: “对，最开始叫辰星，后来有粉丝说宸是屋宇的意思，后来有粉丝说宸是屋宇的意思，百度上说是深邃的房屋，所以粉丝就自称小房子.” 小哥哥 (xiao gege) – literally translated as ‘little older brother’.
It’s a term used to address other boys/young men.
This is usually used during times where you are flirting, etc.
briefly mentioned in Chapter 1how well-known they wereIt might actually be “Honghu waters/Lake”, because the closest thing I could find for this was a song “Honghu Waters/Lake, Wave Crashes into Another Wave” (“洪湖水浪打浪”).
Here are two versions: the first being Peng Liyuan (female)’s version and the second being Zhuang Xue Zhong (male)’s version.江·现任影帝·隐性霸总·默宸也不知道最后会是什么成就
