A live interview
"Do you really want to win? We all watched that sprint up the mountain, and it attracted a lot of admiring glances."
"I definitely wanted to win, otherwise I wouldn't be the first one to rush up the hill."
"It looks like you won easily. Did you find it easy?"
"How can winning be easy? I've been practicing long-distance running for over ten years. Anyone who practices for ten years can do it as easily as me."
Sitting in the nanny car, holding a tablet computer, watching the live interview video on Weibo, the smile on Sister Yu's face deepened.
The girl is really nice. I don’t know how agent Zhang brought her up to be like that.
In the information she compiled, Shui Yiyao's negative information was actually not too serious. Her princess syndrome, low emotional intelligence, lack of effort, and fraud and slander were actually not serious negative information that could cause any damage to her.
It is easy to clear yourself of wrongdoing by apologizing where apologies are due and correcting where corrections are due.
Of course, all these whitewashing is based on the fact that Shui Yiyao is indeed an attractive person.
And she really doesn't need to deliberately establish her own personality, she can attract fans naturally.
For example, she previously reviewed Shui Yiyao's previous programs and discovered that in "An Le Village," she demonstrated her cooking skills, which was very popular. She also performed a white radish carving of Guan Gong, which looked very artistic. It didn't seem like something that could be mastered in a day or two.
But apart from that one time, she never showed it off specifically, and it just caused some small-scale discussion at the time. If this skill is used properly, it can attract a group of fans.
When she finishes the interview and comes back to the car, I'll have to ask her what's going on.

Shui Yiyao has given several interviews in the past two days.
Going up mountains and down seas is a very popular topic, and the ratings of this episode have reached a new high. As the well-deserved MVP of this episode, Shui Yiyao has received many interviews.
Sister Yu said that most of her previous videos had prominent black spots, so she had to give more interviews, debunk rumors when necessary, and clarify things when necessary. Only by giving more interviews could she successfully clear her name.
She always goes with her own attitude when she appears on the show and rarely avoids issues.
A host asked the once-popular negative press releases: "Do you really think a certain B-list actress isn't as pretty as you? You were both on the same reality show. Did you think you outshone her?"
Shui Yiyao: "Outshines? Face? Face is a very subjective aesthetic. Some people think I'm pretty, some people think she's pretty. That doesn't exist. Objectively, she's an actress, and she's more dedicated to her acting career than I am. She can't outshine me."
In the subsequent episode of the "Up the Mountains and Down the Seas" team competition, you and Bai Jingshu seemed to be on good terms. But wasn't your relationship previously strained by the incident at the Qingyu Charity Dinner where you broke the veteran artist's water cup? What reconciled your relationship?
Shui Yiyao: "Because I apologized to Bai Jingshu, she is a big shot and doesn't hold a grudge against me."
——She forgives you?
Shui Yiyao: "She didn't tell me that. However, I'm responsible for the apology and clarification part. Whether to forgive or not is her business. After all, I apologize because I did something wrong, not because I want to be forgiven, right?"
——You and Yue Xi had the same agent before. You once said that Yue Xi deliberately pushed you into a mud pit on a variety show. Was it a joke or did it really happen?
Shui Yiyao: "It's true. Not only that time, but also in a previous interview with Weiji Entertainment, Yue Xi told me that I must grab the first microphone. Forget it, I won't talk about her anymore. Anyway, I don't like her. She says one thing to your face and another behind your back."
Shui Yiyao's interviews are very outspoken, and fans have watched them over and over again.
On the one hand, she shouts "My child is so tough", while on the other hand, she is worried that she will be blacklisted by the company. This is too bold. She boldly says everything that can be said and cannot be said.
Where's the agent? Can you please cover my mouth?
However, her attitude was indeed very sincere, especially the interview with Bai Jingshu, which was liked by Bai Jingshu's fans. Shui Yiyao did clarify on the show that at the dinner, Bai Jingshu did not break the old artist's quilt, and it was Yue Xi who broke the cup.
This interview was broadcast live, and Yue Xi's fans came to her door one after another, saying that Shui Yiyao was trying to shift the blame.
Shui Yiyao didn't care at all. She was telling the truth and she didn't wrongly accuse anyone.
She was a little anxious and tried to express herself clearly within two sentences so that she could be let go.
It's 4:30 in the afternoon.
Her online competition with those merchants starts at 5 o'clock, and there is still half an hour left.
This host keeps asking questions. We agreed to hold the meeting for half an hour, but it’s already been almost an hour.
Finally, with Shui Yiyao's answers becoming increasingly brief, the interview ended.
·
Watching Shui Yiyao rush down from the interview building and hurriedly get into the nanny car, Xiao Zheng was left far behind by her. Sister Yu, sitting next to her, was a little confused: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Shui Yiyao had mentioned to her before that she should free up time after five o'clock this afternoon as she had something urgent to do.
"Driver, please excuse me, I have something urgent to do, Yushanjing Residential Area, Chibei Road." Shui Yiyao got in the car, pulled Xiao Zheng in from the back, closed the door, and said to the driver in front, "Please, we're in a hurry."
The driver arrived at Yueshanjing Community, Shuiyi Yao's home, within half an hour.
Seeing Shui Yiyao almost jogging to the small door downstairs as soon as she got out of the car, Sister Yu followed her. She wanted to see what urgent matter was that made her so anxious.
It was her first time to visit Shui Yiyao's residence.
Yueshanjing Community is a typical celebrity community, very safe and comfortable to live in. In her imagination, Shui Yiyao's residence should be quite spacious and comfortable, with two bedrooms and a living room, or even three bedrooms and a living room.
After Shui Yiyao got off the elevator with her agent and assistant, she went straight home.
After opening the door with her key, Shui Yiyao didn't even change her shoes. She tossed her bag on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall and ran straight to her workbench. She greeted the two people who came in behind her: "Feel free to do whatever you want. I won't greet you."
After she sat down, she turned on the computer first and then started the crane.
It's already ten past five.
Sister Yu stood at the door, looking at Shui Yiyao's studio in disbelief. What kind of place is this? Three or four machines, none of which look familiar. The small room is crowded, but neat and clean.
In one corner of the room stood a large cardboard box containing several large stones.
A bit strange.
She walked towards Shui Yiyao and stood beside her. She saw her turn on the computer and enter a website called Jade Carving Community.
What is she going to do?
Sister Yu looked at the website, took out her tablet from her bag and did a search.
Online jade carving skills competition?
·
The competition officially started at five o'clock. Nanyi was in front of the computer on time, waiting for the young master to show his skills, but surprisingly, it was five o'clock and the person had not arrived yet.
-Qingwu Studio: You don’t dare to come.
Qingwu Studio was matched with Shui Yiyao in the first game. It was not a random match, but the challenge target chosen by Shui Yiyao before.
-Zhuo Cai Studio: If you haven’t come yet, you’re doomed to lose.
-Takemoto Studio: Someone is going to call me daddy.
-Qingwu Studio: It should be called - "Dad, I was wrong."
Everyone laughed as they talked.
-Nanjing Academy of Fine Arts Studio: Everyone has urgent matters, so it doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t come.
-Qingwu Studio: The competition has already started, what’s the point of her coming?
-Qingwu Studio: I will definitely win.
Even if you come, you will lose, but you still have the right to call me dad.
Time passed by little by little, and everyone was waiting. Originally, everyone came to wait because of the bet between Chengdao Jade Carving and everyone, but now they felt that Chengyu didn't dare to come because he was afraid of losing.
-It's been ten minutes.
-After all, they are too young, so it is understandable that they stood up.
-It's normal to be afraid of losing.
-I thought we would see a very exciting game.
-The current game is not bad, just watch it quietly.
-Just wait for someone to post "Dad, I was wrong" hahahaha
-What if they have an emergency?
-Accept defeat without making excuses.
[Ding Dong—Contestant "Chengdao Jade Carving" is now online.]
-? ? ?
-Someone is coming.
-You come here at this time, you don’t mean to ask for leave because you really have something to do.
-Please take a leave.
-He's already ten minutes late, what else could he be asking for leave?
-Now that they are here, can't you just wait and see what they say?
Sister Yu found the section that Shui Yiyao had opened on her computer—the online competition live broadcast area.
There are several groups in this area, and Sister Yu chose the one that Shui Yiyao clicked on.
Chengdao Jade Carving Studio vs Qingwu Studio
Now, the left side of the screen is still blank, with no picture. The person on the left is wearing the ID of "Qingwu Studio" and is carving jade while talking.
"Chengyu is here? Are you here now to ask for leave?"
"Ah, everyone has urgent matters, we understand. You don't have to say anything more, just follow our previous agreement..."
"You talk too much nonsense." Shui Yiyao suddenly spoke, and her camera was turned on. Her workbench appeared in her live broadcast room.
"The first question—Han Ba Dao?" Shui Yiyao read out the competition topic, then picked up a piece of material. "I thought it would be difficult, but you look so smug."
Han Ba Dao is a jade carving technique from the Qin and Han dynasties. It is very distinctive and focuses on carving into shape with just a few strokes. This carving technique is usually used on jade cicadas, pursuing simplicity and elegance.
Shui Yiyao looked towards the opposite side and saw Qingwu Studio holding a simple cicada shape and starting to carve on it.
Shui Yiyao turned on her crane grinder, took a piece of scrap from her previous work on the box on her workbench, and quickly ground it into the shape of a cicada.
Han Badao, as long as she can demonstrate this craft, the shape of the jade cicada does not actually need to be polished very carefully.
After a while, a small cicada was formed in her hands.
She began to carve on the jade cicada.
Han Ba Dao, a simple and elegant craft. She had done it many times before, so it wasn't difficult.
Sister Yu next to them was holding a tablet and watching the two people playing the live broadcast.
What is her artist doing?
Doing jade carving?
Oh my god... is this real? He set aside half a day to compare jade carvings with others?
The Qingwu Studio across the street sounds like a veteran, but her artist is only 23, still quite young.
Are they competing? Why does it feel unreliable...
But their artists seemed so serious. She was also very serious when she saw her in the interview, but that feeling was different from now. Now she was fully committed. Shui Yiyao was grinding the material, half-pursed her lips, and her eyes were full of seriousness.
Record it. Record it.
Sister Yu looked up at her workbench and started recording. She watched Shui Yiyao, who held the jade material in one hand and the carving brush in the other, and watched the live stream of another Qingwu Studio, who was almost halfway through the work. Suddenly, she felt nervous.
Will Shui Yiyao win?
