Chapter 48 Beauty filters must abide by the rules once they sign a contract with the platform.
[Stewed Pear]: "If you're too embarrassed to turn off the beauty filter, don't beg me, I won't go easy on you haha."
She smiled, her lips pursed, deliberately creating an unnatural dimple.
She tossed her hair, a smooth, quick motion that perfectly showcased her pointed chin and big eyes, making her look pure and lovely.
Cheng Sijie looked at the other person's smug face and was quite speechless:
Sister, do you know a pretty girl named Liang Momo?
These two have quite similar personalities.
In Cheng Sijie's personal opinion, Liang Momo is much prettier than her. At the same time, Liang Momo's princess syndrome and obvious wickedness are much less annoying than this green tea girl in front of her.
But it doesn't matter, it's just work, everyone has a few annoying colleagues.
Cheng Sijie smiled on the surface, but rolled her eyes inwardly.
She clicked on the live streaming phone and displayed the beauty parameters and various filters to the audience.
After the camera was flipped, the settings on the streamer's personal page were very clear, and since it was a live broadcast, it couldn't be faked.
The stewed pear said, "What's wrong? Could it be malfunctioning?"
She smiled sweetly, "You haven't removed the beauty filter yet, baby."
She heard the streamer, Orange Juice, say, "They've all been turned off."
In an instant, the stewed pear looked shocked, leaning closer to examine it closely, realizing something was wrong!
It didn't even have skin smoothing, face slimming, eye enlargement, blemish removal, skin tone evening, body slimming, bust enlargement, or waist slimming effects!
What are these girls doing? Are they modeling weirdos?
Stewed pear... I'm thinking, are you doing this on purpose?!
The big spenders in her live stream were also somewhat shocked.
The little-known streamer in front of me had only applied a simple filter.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Sijie turned off the lights. Although her features had been exquisitely perfect under the previous lighting, giving her a somewhat holy and goddess-like appearance, now that the lights were gone, Cheng Sijie smoothed her hair, revealing her smooth forehead, and said, "A bet is a bet. So, are you satisfied now, Sherry?"
She smiled, revealing two dimples.
Good heavens, how come she looks so superior?!
I was stunned by the stewed snow pear.
While inwardly rubbing her handkerchief with a sour smile, she thought, "How unprofessional is she, sister? You don't even have a ring light, contour light, or hair light? No fill light or ambient light at all. Pfft, are you just trying to save money? How unprofessional is she? No wonder you lost the live stream."
On the other hand, it must be admitted that her natural modeling skills, combined with her natural beauty and unadorned charm, really surprised her viewers in her live stream.
Immediately afterwards, a big spender from one of her livestreams came to Cheng Sijie's livestream and gifted her a "Peerless Imperial Concubine" item worth 2888. Instantly, a phoenix crown effect and filter makeup were applied to Cheng Sijie. Cheng Sijie chuckled and said, "Thank you, big spender, but I don't like this effect. It's too tacky."
Stewed Pear thought to herself: Damn, what are you pretending for? You don't like a 2888 gift? Believe me or not, I'll tear off your mask.
The eldest brother remained silent, and everyone thought he was speechless because he had been provoked by Cheng Sijie.
The older brother silently typed "1" in the public chat.
Cheng Sijie saw the Eiffel Tower rising behind him on the screen, so he changed to the "Paris Dream" package for 2888.
The stewed pear stared in disbelief, almost biting its teeth to pieces.
The older brother remained relatively reserved and dignified, not embarrassing [清炖雪梨] in front of so many fans and rival streamers, and left a message with a stern, domineering CEO demeanor:
Medical expenses.
Indeed, there are rules in the live streaming industry. When big streamers engage in PK battles, even if the other party loses, they will still send expensive gifts to the other party to show their composure and generosity, all for the sake of the so-called "big" streamer's dignity.
It's also about turning hostility into friendship, and not holding a grudge.
Cheng Sijie thought this kind of superficial work was ridiculous. It was nothing more than using fans' money to make themselves look good. If it were really that honest, why didn't the streamer just give money away?
But she still smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Sherry."
Stewed Snow Pear, with a smile but no smirk, said, "Oh dear, our baby is so generous, she went to pay the medical bills so quickly. Hmm, once you accept the gift, you're not allowed to be sad, okay, little Chengcheng? Turning off the beauty filter in public is quite embarrassing, hahaha."
Cheng Sijie knew when to stop, but smiled without saying anything, "Oh, thank you for your comfort and for the gift, brother. I'll accept it, mwah."
She made a heart shape with her hands.
If you didn't know better, you'd think an idol was doing an autograph session for fans.
Stewed pear: ...
Her message kept floating in the chat:
"The view across the street is so beautiful!"
"Wow, this streamer is so generous! I love watching Sherry interact with her. Can we connect more often?"
"I'm so drunk, these two beautiful girls are so sweet doing a live stream."
Stewed pear thought to itself: Love? Are you blind?
She was internally tugging at her handkerchief when, seemingly because he enjoyed watching, her older brother also gifted her five "Peerless Imperial Concubine" photos.
Stewed pear could only manage a quick facial expression, pouting, "Ugh, I don't like this either. Didn't Chengcheng say it's so corny?"
My older brother gifted me five more "Parisian Dreams" items.
With 30,000 yuan in hand, the stewed pear made her feel refreshed and energized. She seemed to be able to appreciate the flavor herself—
Putting everything else aside, the streamer on the other end is indeed generous and easygoing, and her criticisms of her were subtly barbed. Regardless of whether she felt good or not, the live stream was quite successful, and people were more willing to send gifts than before. So...
Stewed Pear rolled her eyes and said, "Then let's follow each other."
[Orange Juice%] across from them gave a faint smile: "Okay, let's play again when we have time."
Someone in the fan group said:
"Her fans love watching it, so she'll definitely have to try to curry favor with us in the future."
"Tch! Chengcheng has been live streaming for so many years, this is nothing to her. Do you really think our Chengcheng would break down like this?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha"
"In any case, the great reconciliation of the century has been achieved."
"Looks like there's a lot to consider when it comes to the livestream settings and lighting. Chengcheng, don't forget to upgrade your equipment too, hahaha."
"The little girl laughed so hard she was practically speechless."
"Hilarious! I just screen-recorded it, and I'll post a video clip right away. Isn't that great? It's like a godsend! I was just worried about not being able to show off my perfect bare face on my favorite show, pfft~"
"Oh my god, look at the screenshot, look at our orange juice's famous nose bridge and milky skin, wow wow wow wow."
Even the stewed pear had a slight smile on her face, and the chat was full of praise for her generosity, beauty, and humanity. In any case, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Today was a great start; several big fans on the other side even followed Cheng Sijie. In return, some big fans on our side also followed the other side.
Even though everyone is sharing the same cake, it's better to eat together than to smash your rice bowl and refuse to eat.
True happiness lies in harmony and beauty.
The rest of the operations team's procedures went smoothly. Tian Tian had already given Cheng Sijie the WeChat contacts of several livestreamers, and Cheng Sijie mailed them gifts. The gifts were small but meaningful, containing some local specialties from City C. This was a way to show appreciation without being overly obsequious or lowering one's own status, and it was also a way to promote their products. After all, they were working together, and there would inevitably be more interactions in the future.
Cheng Sijie hadn't expected that there was another one inside, [in Peach Star].
This guy was a colleague of Cheng Sijie at Yinghuo before, but later switched to Xinghai and seems to be doing quite well.
Cheng Sijie and she were old acquaintances, and this time she wasn't given a share of the local specialties, which was already unpleasant, so there was no point in shamelessly going to her again.
When several streamers were doing a live broadcast together, [Zai Tao Xingxing] seemed to be in a bad mood and not very enthusiastic. Even her fans could tell that she was forcing a smile.
Having left her old employer, the small workshop "Firefly," and with no relatives to pull strings for her at "Peach Star," seeing this old acquaintance again made this woman feel resentful.
Cheng Sijie was chatting and interacting with the other two hosts, catching and throwing jokes, and was so engrossed in the conversation that she naturally didn't bother to give her a second glance.
Sure enough, as soon as the broadcast ended, this guy came to chat with Cheng Sijie.
"Long time no see, Chengcheng, you really came to Xinghai, haha."
"I heard the operations team say that we would be interacting with a new streamer, and I didn't expect it to be you."
"how have you been?"
Cheng Sijie ignored her.
Just then, Tian Tian messaged Cheng Sijie privately: "Hi, Chengcheng, I saw your live stream, you were amazing, you did great. Um, I booked a session for you to adjust the beauty filter settings, it can be customized offline, when is a convenient time for you?"
Cheng Sijie was somewhat surprised: Oh my god, this is exactly what she needed (in a translator's tone).
I didn't expect Tian Tian to be so dedicated; she watched the entire seven-hour live stream.
The live stream was originally scheduled for 9 PM to 12 AM, but it was very successful. Everyone tacitly agreed to extend it to 3 AM. People in this industry can stay up all night, and there are many night owls watching the live stream. They even made a push on the real-time rankings in the early morning. Everyone had a great time streaming and watching, and the live stream ended with laughter and joy.
I didn't expect Tian Tian to be there too, and she even made a point of keeping an eye on this for her.
She felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Tian Tian, you've worked so hard. Let me order you some takeout, it's so late."
Tian Tian: "No need, it's what I should do. I get a share of your earnings too, it's my duty."
Cheng Sijie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring you a gift next time we meet."
Anyway, there's plenty of time, no need to rush.
After confirming the schedule, Tian Tian sent a cute little emoji and then quickly and professionally left.
Zhao Xuetian breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her glasses, and her colleague sent her a message:
"Tian Tian, this new streamer is really good. She has a great attitude when playing PK battles, she doesn't get into conflicts with others, and she's very good at creating engaging content."
Zhao Xuetian replied, "Yes, she's very good."
"But, are she not familiar with that streamer on the same platform? Aren't they both from Firefly?"
Zhao Xuetian said, "I don't know, but this streamer said that he and Chengcheng Juice are good friends."
"Uh, you two seem to be on good terms, so why is it so awkward?"
Those who know, know; they're just fake friends.
Zhao Xuetian remembered that [in Peach Star] – a PR person she had previously worked with complained to her that this person was extremely perfunctory, even using AI scripts for a lipstick promotion, which was messy and unprofessional.
They certainly can't be all-encompassing and do everything for the streamer; there must be tasks that the streamer needs to be responsible for.
No matter what industry you're in, no matter how glamorous it may seem—whether you're a livestreamer, an internet celebrity, a model, a blogger, or a star in the entertainment industry—you're all here to work.
It's also essential to demystify your profession. If you're working independently and like to act like a "female celebrity," that's fine, but if you've signed a contract with a platform, you have to abide by the rules.
Clearly, this blogger doesn't think there's anything wrong with what they're doing.
Xinghai Platform has never tolerated employees like this.
She thought for a moment and sent a message to another colleague: "Account 38553499, ID [in Peach Star], reduce advertising cooperation, let her suspend live streaming for a week and get back into shape."
