Chapter 496
Send out red envelopes!
As Zhou Xiao walked towards his colleagues carrying the small bag, he subconsciously reached out and pinched the red envelope in the bag. He felt both excited and a little curious.
Zhou Xiao had known for a while that red envelopes would be distributed at the start of filming. However, this was usually the responsibility of the director and the actors, so she hadn't expected Director Fang to even arrange one for her, allowing her to participate in the process.
“It’s Sister Xindong——” “Ahhhh, sister, sister” “Congratulations to Teacher Xindong on the start of the filming!” “Wow wow wow” “…”
Seeing Zhou Xiao approaching, Cheese, standing in the front row, couldn't focus on interacting with the people in the livestream room. He simply reached out and swiftly yanked the phone off the tripod.
While holding it firmly against her chest, Cheese didn't forget to warmly greet Zhou Xiao. Look, this person, who had just stepped out of the creative team, was her co-worker and, more importantly, her good friend!
Because Director Fang had formally introduced Zhou Xiao earlier, the fans, led by Cheese, hadn't called out Zhou Xiao's fan page name during their support. But now, seeing Zhou Xiao approaching alone, they couldn't help themselves. They completely forgot about Ji Shao, who was still standing in front of the backdrop, being approached for a photo. Their hearts and eyes were filled with their love for this fellow fan.
This was truly a great honor for the fans! But the fun wasn't over yet! When Zhou Xiao pulled out a red envelope from his bag, the entire fan club went wild.
Many of the fans who came to the scene today have experienced the start of filming. Some of the experienced fans have even witnessed more filming starts than the fingers on their two palms and the soles of their feet.
But this is the first time in my life that I have taken this red envelope from a fellow supporter from this perspective. Not to mention, this fellow supporter is the biggest fan in my own community!
"Oh my god, Sister Xindong sent me a red envelope!" "Sister, don't leave me out!" "Sister, can I use the red envelope to exchange for peripherals? My child has been envious of them for almost two years!" "Xindong wife, work hard!" "..."
Zhou Xiao, handing out red envelopes, was practically chuckling at the riotous crowd, barely holding back his laughter as he distributed the red envelopes from his bag. By the end, he realized there were exactly the right number of red envelopes, corresponding to the 100 spots allocated to the Tiaosi.
Thinking that this red envelope was specially arranged by Director Fang for her, Zhou Xiao, who had just laughed so hard at her co-stars' jokes that her cheeks were a little sore, now felt a warm glow all over her. Director Fang was so kind to her.
Just as she was thinking, Cheese handed a mobile phone to Zhou Xiao. Looking at the barrage of comments on the screen that were almost indistinct, Zhou Xiao subconsciously squinted her eyes. But before she could see the content of the barrage of comments clearly, she heard Cheese's smiling voice in front of her, "Teacher Xindong, say hello to the millions of viewers in our live broadcast room~"
…
The backstage of a Douyin live broadcast.
Although Gong Jian, who was in charge of reviewing live broadcasts and pushing traffic, was puzzled, he still followed the instructions of his superiors and pushed traffic to this live broadcast room which had a random number name "8145488" and seemed to have no intention of running it well.
When Gong Jian followed his professional habit and went to check again ten minutes later, he discovered that the number of online viewers in this live broadcast room had remained at hundreds of thousands!
You should know that the platform's recently popular treasure appraisal and celebrity live broadcasts don't usually have this much attendance. The most important thing is that the account that started the broadcast only had a few hundred followers before the broadcast.
Now it seems that he has grown tens of thousands of fans. Although the group portrait of these fans is a group of star chasers, the speed of this increase is so fast that even Gong Jian, who is sitting in front of the computer, feels incredible.
The conversion rate of fans in the live broadcast room was actually not very high. In addition, the live broadcast was so casual that he looked at the sky for several minutes when he clicked in. It was not until the anchor reacted that he saw people.
The person being broadcast saw it, but Gong Jianren was still frightened. You know, the person who appeared in the live broadcast room was actually Ji Shao who was greeting the camera!
When did Ji Shao start live streaming on Douyin? Gong Jian was puzzled, but he knew that the opportunity was not to be missed. He was pushing the stream so hard that he started to get excited.
As for the photographers and extras who had snuck in to stream live, things were a bit off. Ju Weiqi hadn't expected his competition this time to be not his peers, but his bread and butter. After all, those people who had been showering Kuku with gifts during every livestream were now firmly entrenched in the Cheese-style livestream.
Some people were puzzled and secretly entered the "8145488" live broadcast room using a small account. They looked up at the girl in front of them who was holding up her mobile phone and greeting the camera, and they were still confused.
It's just a greeting, and it's not Ji Shao himself who's saying hello, so why are the comments section so excited? I always feel like this is a word my child learned while watching short videos every day.
It's called... I don't know what it is, but I feel like the word is on the tip of my tongue... Oh! That's right, it's called abstraction!
On the other side, Zhou Xiao looked at the comments that were quickly pushed up on the screen, and was also sighing in his heart at the high number of people and activity in this live broadcast room.
And when the netizens in the live broadcast room seemed to know that she was reading the comments, the meaningless "Ahhhhhhhh" had turned into a loop of "Peripherals, peripherals, I want peripherals" under the guidance of someone.
There must be an expert who can give me some advice here!
In the crowd, Deng Zian, who was also watching the same live broadcast, couldn't help but marvel in her heart! Who said fans are "stupid"? These fans are amazing!
Zhou Xiao scrolled through the comments and finally saw what was going on. She didn't reply immediately, but thought for a moment before slowly saying, "How about I wait until Dancing Fish wraps up and send everyone some merchandise?"
Maybe everyone didn't understand at first, but after reading several replies, some people finally came to their senses and wanted to immediately stop Sister Xindong's terrible idea! Not only do they want it after the filming is finished, they also want it now!
"No, no!" The first to object was naturally Cheese, who was standing in front of Zhou Xiao. Who knew how long it would take for the film to finish? Zhou Xiao was still his friend, so with that relationship in place, there was no need to be embarrassed to speak up.
Zhou Xiao suppressed his laughter and handed the phone back to Cheese. Then he said seriously, "After I'm done with the startup, I'll give you guys a chance to win some peripherals on Weibo!"
Making peripherals is simple; all you have to do is place an order with the system. The most time-consuming part is the design. While this is trivial with the system, you still need to allow time for it.
"That's more like it." Across the railing, Cheese smiled and took Zhou Xiao's arm. When she was about to say something, she saw three figures walking towards them from the crowd.
It’s Ji Shao!
When Ji Shao arrived, in addition to the two little tails following behind him, the entertainment reporters at the scene also looked at him eagerly, eagerly hoping that this gentleman could walk in front of them.
If possible, it would be even better if you could answer the interview questions that the boss sent you before leaving! There aren't many questions, only about 10 or 20! Just looking at the direction Ji Shao is heading, everyone has realized that they are overthinking it.
Ji Shao wasn't saying he had to abandon these reporters. Firstly, the most important thing for him on the court today was the fans he had invited. Secondly, the interviews were coming up soon, so it wasn't like he wasn't going to give these people a chance.
So no matter how eager the eyes on his left and right were, Ji Shao showed no sign of wanting to move towards them. Instead, his steps became more determined.
"Teacher Zhou is here too." Waving the red envelope in his hand, Ji Shao greeted Zhou Xiao with a smile when he saw him chatting with fans.
"Come and give out the red envelopes, everyone is waiting impatiently." Zhou Xiao smiled and took a small step back, giving the good position in front to Ji Shao.
"Blame me, blame me!" He handed a red envelope to Zhou Xiao. Seeing Zhou Xiao's surprised expression, Ji Shao smiled so much that his eyes became crescent moons. "Thank you, Teacher Zhou, for sending a red envelope to my family. Please accept my return gift!"
Is this a skit?
Zhou Xiao didn't refuse, but the moment he took the red envelope, he felt something was wrong. This feeling... the red envelope seemed to contain more than just money?
Seeing Zhou Xiao's hesitant look, Ji Shao winked at her. Of course, there was money in the red envelope, but in addition to the money, there was also an acrylic keychain with a non-legacy fish lantern.
At this moment, Chen Shenju and Song Xiao, who were standing behind Ji Shao, flipped their hands, and the big red canvas bag that was originally hidden (?) behind them was revealed.
After handing the red envelope to Zhou Xiao, Ji Shao turned around and looked at the eagerly waiting fans in front of him. He smiled brightly and said, "Red envelopes, everyone will get one~"

[Topic] On this auspicious day, let us congratulate the domestic entertainment industry for having a new director!
[Main Post] I'm really looking forward to seeing Sister Zhou's future growth. Honestly, holding the "ZYQ" award, a photographer's dream, and having the courage to explore new areas, I'll be doting on her no matter what the outcome! Although Sister Zhou is still an assistant director, I believe Director Fang will also spare no effort in guiding her!

Although there is a big gap between assistant director and director, I still believe that Sister Zhou will get better and better! It feels like she just gave the CCTV director a stage yesterday, and today she has crossed over to other fields hhhh

I don't know if you still remember the short drama "Spring Day", which opened the era of short dramas and broke the previous short drama 24/H recharge record on the first day of its release [Surprised] Just now, the producer replied to netizens on a certain blog, saying that she had wanted to invite Zhou Xiao to film a drama a long time ago.

In fact, if you look at the current domestic directors, many of them do not have the corresponding directing ability. The main function of domestic entertainment directors is to organize the group. Come on, Sister Zhou! If you are short of actors for future filming, you can go back to your old job and use photography to lure them over [funny]

Oh my god, I didn't expect people to still be talking about the short drama "Spring Day"! Honestly, I personally think it became popular mainly because of the set of beautiful stills that touched my heart. The look back of Gu Shihan is still my wallpaper!

The blockbusters that Zhou Jie has directed before really have a cinematic quality. Honestly, being able to capture characters beautifully is something many directors only dream of. I look forward to seeing a film directed by Zhou Jie herself on the big screen one day!
