Deng Hui's hands were moving swiftly. After the arson case, Bai Zhi took her to a villa, but she didn't like being taken care of by too many people, so she only left Xiaoling behind.
Baizhi came to see her today, and she asked Xiaoling to go back first while she made dumplings for Baizhi.
As if she had thought of something, she said, "Xiaozhi, are you still going to record that variety show? I watched the latest episode, and it's not good at all."
"Then does mom want me to record it?" Bai Zhi asked.
Deng Hui smiled dotingly, "Xiaozhi can record if she wants to, and it's okay if she doesn't want to. I don't need to live in such a nice house. As long as Xiaozhi is doing well, Mom will be happy."
She thought that if Bai Zhi didn't want to continue recording the show, she would definitely have to pay a penalty.
She could have not lived in such a nice villa and saved the money for her daughter to pay the penalty. She participated in this program in the first place...actually it was all for her useless mother.
Deng Hui stopped moving her hands and looked a little lonely.
"Don't worry, there's no penalty." She said firmly.
"Really?" Deng Hui was delighted.
Bai Zhi nodded.
But when 444 saw the light flash in her eyes, he shrank his neck and dared not make a sound.
Deng Hui was immediately happy and continued to make dumplings skillfully.
"Mom, a lot of film and television projects have been sent to me recently. They want me to cooperate with them and convert them into naked-eye 3D. I'm a bit too busy. Why don't you help me screen them?" Bai Zhi washed her hands and went to help make dumplings.
She watched how Deng Hui made dumplings and copied her method exactly.
All the dumplings looked like Deng Hui's, perfectly copied.
Bai Zhi looked at the dumplings and nodded contentedly.
Deng Hui stopped what she was doing and looked at her, a little flustered: "Ah? I want to do it? I can't do it. I don't have any experience in this area. I'm afraid I can't do it well..."
"It's okay. Just choose from the perspective of an ordinary audience. Choose what you like." Bai Zhi was quite calm and didn't seem to care at all.
With her joining, the process of making dumplings became much faster.
Deng Hui was a little hesitant, but in fact, she really wanted to do something to help her daughter.
Since she went to receive treatment, she, who had been busy for most of her life, suddenly had some free time. Her daughter was also so busy, so she still felt a little lonely.
Bai Zhi could tell her attitude at a glance and nodded: "I'll have someone send the information to you tomorrow."
"Oh, okay!" Deng Hui agreed happily.
Yu Lin is very upset today, and he can foresee that he will still be very upset tomorrow.
Since the arson case, their program has become more well-known and discussed, but the broadcast rate is low, and the audience has said that they don’t want to see Vivian appear.
Moreover, ever since Vivian Bai Lianhua’s apology was slapped in the face by the video, she has basically been labeled as a low-quality artist, and netizens are quite resistant to her.
There was no other choice but for the production team to edit overnight and cut out all the previous episodes with Vivian.
It is a dating show in itself, and many activities require grouping.
At that time, the program crew was praising Vivian, so Vivian was in almost all important shots. Now, after this editing, the program suddenly became fragmented.
In addition to the six virtual artists launched by Zhao Baizhi, the traffic of major programs has been affected recently, and their program with Zhao Baizhi herself has not been spared.
The traffic of the program "You Are the One" has dropped significantly. After seeing the fragmented program after the previous editing, the new viewers frowned and said that it was not good to watch, and quit watching it without further delay.
Yu Lin was so frustrated that he was about to scratch his head. The final effect of the show was far different from what he had expected.
Ever since Zhao Baizhi lost control, all the plans were completely messed up.
Wu Mingze also fell into trouble because of the video incident.
Many of his fans stopped following him because of this, and his pairing with Vivian became the most disgusting pairing of the year.
Maybe the company behind him doesn't want to give up on him, so they asked him to quit the show and take him away from where Zhao Baizhi is.
——Who made everyone think of how Wu Mingze "seduced" Zhao Baizhi when they saw Zhao Baizhi and him appear at the same time?
Yu Lin cursed loudly in front of the program crew.
The assistant shrank his neck and offered an idea, "Director... Wei An has withdrawn, so it's a good fit for Wu Mingze. A lot of Wu Mingze's scenes were cut because of Wei An. Now that Wu Mingze has withdrawn, there are four men and four women left on the show. We can continue filming or bring in a new couple. It doesn't matter."
Yu Lin paused and looked at his assistant.
The assistant was a little flustered when he looked at her like that, and hurriedly said, "Director, I was just saying it casually. If you think it's inappropriate, then..."
"No, I think it's very suitable." Yu Lin said softly.
The assistant was stunned.
He suddenly became excited, his voice agitated, "Zhao Baizhi has caused me so much trouble, why can't I use her to benefit myself?! Hahaha, she's so popular now, as long as she's still around, it's a bargain for us! I'll contact Mr. Zhang right now and ask him to find two more new people. I'll pair them up and use her popularity to bring in new people!"
He looked at his assistant and the assistant director next to him. However, neither of them spoke. Instead, they looked at him awkwardly with strange eyes.
However, Yu Lin was so excited that he didn't notice, and he still raised his voice excitedly: "If she doesn't withdraw, then she must listen to our arrangements. We signed a contract in the beginning! Zhao Baizhi, you've caused me so much trouble, do you think I'll let you off?! I will take responsibility for the losses you caused my production team--"
A voice sounded from behind: "How about on me?"
——It’s Zhao Baizhi!
Yu Lin froze.
He was still looking at his assistant and assistant director, but at that moment, he suddenly understood what their expressions just now meant. They weren't looking at him at all, they were looking at - behind him!
Yu Lin stiffened and slowly turned around to meet Bai Zhi's gaze.
She was still so calm, her gold-rimmed glasses gleaming a little under the light, but making people feel cold all over.
"I...I was just joking..." Yu Lin opened his mouth and forced an explanation, cold sweat starting to appear on his forehead.
It is well known that Zhao Baizhi is very domineering, and no one who provokes her will be able to get away with it.
First, Wei An's parents are still in jail, and then He Mingguang's stock price plummets, and the company is about to collapse.
First, countless netizens were sued in court, and then marketing accounts were brought down one after another...
Don’t you see that now no marketing accounts or water armies dare to take orders related to Zhao Baizhi?
He had already offended Zhao Baizhi, and now he was trying to plot against her behind her back, and she had actually caught him red-handed...
Yu Lin's body began to tremble slightly.
"Don't worry, how can people not have the right to speak? You can say whatever you want, I have a good temper." Bai Zhi pushed her glasses and looked at him.
Yu Lin: “…”
I know she won't believe me no matter how I explain it.
Yu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't do anything wrong to you, but you almost ruined our show!"
"You haven't wronged me?" Bai Zhi sneered, "Then who gave me the contract and script?"
First sign the contract, then give Zhao Baizhi enough money to destroy her script, without caring about her life or death at all.
In the original world's plot, even after the recording of the program was completed, Yu Lin publicly stated that "It's You Who Meets Me" had no script.
When Zhao Baizhi was at her wit's end, he also delayed paying her...
Yu Lin's expression changed.
The original contract and script were indeed a bit bullying, but at that time, they did not expect that Zhao Baizhi would one day achieve the level she has now, which would make them regret it!
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the assistant director quickly laughed it off and asked, "Teacher Zhao, you've been busy lately and haven't been to the recording session for several days. Are you here to record today? Can you provide some additional footage?"
Bai Zhi's lips curled slightly: "I'm here to pack my things."
Several people were stunned.
"You want to terminate the contract?!" Yu Lin jumped up and down.
The contract Zhao Baizhi signed was very cheap at the beginning, so the penalty for breach of contract was naturally not expensive. Would she still be short of money to terminate the contract now?
The contract had not been terminated before, and Yu Lin thought she would not terminate it!
I didn’t expect that the contract would be terminated now!
As soon as she left, the show completely lost its traffic!
He gritted his teeth and said, "You've ruined our show like this...are you just going to walk away?!"
This time Yu Lin was really angry.
Bai Zhi raised a finger and shook it: "No, it's not me who wants to terminate the contract, it's your show that ended early."
Everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Yu Lin murmured.
After a while, his pupils suddenly shrank: "Are you going to destroy us like you destroyed Mingguang Entertainment?!"
"You think too highly of yourself." Bai Zhi glanced at him as if he were an ant.
Yu Lin opened his mouth to say something.
At this time, his cell phone rang.
Yu Lin was about to hang up in frustration when Bai Zhi said, "You'd better pick up the phone. Don't miss any important information."
There was a hint of smile in her voice, but it sounded like the whisper of a devil, making Yu Lin tremble even more violently.
He swallowed and answered the phone, "Hello..."
Over there, an anxious voice sounded—
"Yu Lin, this is bad! Mr. Zhang has been arrested! Our company is finished!"
"Bang——" the phone fell to the ground.
Mr. Zhang is the man behind Vivian. He runs a medium-sized entertainment company. Their show is under Mr. Zhang's umbrella, otherwise he wouldn't have supported Vivian so much in the first place.
But now, Mr. Zhang has been arrested, their company is finished, and his show...
Yu Lin suddenly looked up at Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi had already turned around calmly and went upstairs to pack her things.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists.
Baizhi didn't have much to pack, so she quickly dragged her suitcase down.
When she went downstairs, Yu Lin was still standing in the same place as before, not moving at all, just standing there blankly.
Hearing the voice, his voice became hoarse: "Zhao Baizhi...you ruined our show. This is a show I've been planning for a long time. It's my masterpiece. I've also planned a second and third season..."
He looked up, his eyes a little crazy when he looked at Zhao Baizhi: "All my hard work has been ruined by you, and the hard work of our entire program team has been ruined by you!"
He demanded at the top of his voice.
It seemed that this would make Bai Zhi feel guilty and change her mind.
However, behind him, no one from the program team he represented spoke.
"I just let those who deserve punishment receive the punishment, and I didn't do anything to your program. Yu Lin, this is called asking for trouble." Bai Zhi looked at him.
Yu Lin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he was about to pounce on her and hit her at the next moment.
Obviously, he didn't realize that he was wrong from the beginning.
Bai Zhi looked at the assistant and assistant director: "Do you think I'm wrong?"
"Yes, you're right!" the assistant said immediately, then quickly stepped forward and forced a smile. "Teacher Zhao, you're going to shoot the first season of Dream World, so you'll definitely need a lot of help. What do you think of me? I can definitely be a good assistant for you!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant director hurried forward and said anxiously, "Teacher Zhao, I can be your assistant director. We have a ready-made team here, maybe you can use them..."
Watching them scramble to show their affection to Bai Zhi, thinking about this completely dead show...
Yu Lin’s eyes went dark and he fell backwards.
A month is neither short nor long.
But while waiting for "Dream World Season 1", netizens still feel that every day is very difficult, as if a year has passed.
"Ahhh, Dream World is going to air tonight at 8pm! Excited!!"
"Yes! My dear husband, I'll wait for you!"
"...Are you all so excited? Actually, I'm not very optimistic. You know, Zhao Baizhi has no previous directing experience, except for the promotional video. This is her first drama, right? I'm really worried it will be shocking."
"Same, I'm not too optimistic either. Besides, this is the first time for a virtual idol to film a drama, so I'm really worried that people will have to wait a month in vain."
"I'm actually looking forward to it. After all, it's the first glasses-free 3D film. I think it's worth watching just for the novelty."
"I'm looking forward to my Jiyue wife's debut work!!"
"Ahhh, Yu Feng, fly bravely, the fish will always be with you!"
"Zhaohua! The best Zhaohua!!"
…
"Fans, please go somewhere else. This is the place to rationally discuss Zhao Baizhi's debut."
"I don't know how the virtual idols will perform in the drama yet, but these fans are already going crazy..."
"Thanks for the invitation. I'm really not optimistic about this drama. I won't follow it to avoid it being an eyesore."
"Look at this name, Dream World... Tsk tsk, it feels like a middle school student. If you brag about it now, you'll definitely get slapped in the face later."
…
"Dream World Season 1" has not been aired yet, but the quality of this drama has been discussed several times online. It is the first naked-eye 3D work, the first time Zhao Baizhi directs, and the first time a virtual idol shoots a movie... These topics are extremely popular.
There are still different opinions on whether to be optimistic or pessimistic.
Finally, the time came during the dispute between the two parties.
The show starts at 9 o'clock sharp.
Even though the show was broadcast simultaneously on all major video sites, the number of clicks on each site immediately broke the record for the premiere.
Those who are optimistic and those who are pessimistic all came in to verify it.
Two episodes, just two hours in total.
In the first two episodes, all six virtual idols have appeared.
During the video broadcast, the Internet was extremely quiet. It was not until the two episodes were finished and there was another period of silence that there were formal comments.
"Oh shit, oh shit! I'm dead!! The Sea God is so handsome! The Crescent Moon Beauty is so handsome! The Samoyed Banshee is simply amazing, the yandere loli, I love her to death, and when Feng Qingyu appeared, I almost lost my life to him, the Drunken Dream Queen has captured my soul!"
"Don't you think the withered years are the worst?! Ah, I love Ci Chen's face!"
"Where's the next episode?! Hurry up, give it to me, I want to watch it now!!!"
"I can't stand it anymore, next episode ahhhh!"
"I'm dying! It's so fast! I've been holding my pee for an hour."
"Oh shit! I finally saw a real person who is even more beautiful than the anime. Virtual idols are always awesome!"
"Ah, I'm curious about the plot. Can anyone tell me whether Crescent Moon will face off against the Sea God?"
"Watching a show like this in naked-eye 3D is like killing me. I feel like I'm being mesmerized by them, but I also feel like I'm trembling when the fights start!"
…
Two hours after it was aired, the internet went completely wild.
At the beginning, there were crazy roars and shocked sounds.
It wasn't until the evening when the audience had calmed down a bit and finished watching the show for the second and third time that the online reviews of the show officially came out.
"At first, I thought I might be watching an ordinary period drama. Later, I thought it might be a good show with a big picture. Halfway through, I thought it might be a classic. Now, after watching two episodes, I am sure - this is an epic masterpiece!!!"
"How should I rate this drama? It's like you've stepped into an anime with sci-fi special effects, historical drama live-action, and a brain-burning suspense!"
"Zhao Baizhi, forever a goddess! We shouldn't question her level, her aesthetics, and her skills. The alluring promotional video proved that she can only surprise us, not scare us."
"I'm already crying! China is finally going to have a drama that will captivate the entire world! It's filled with so many traditional Chinese culture elements, it's absolutely mesmerizing!"
