Yue Xi: My junior sister is timid, please stop scolding her [crying][crying][crying] I can't even contact her. [Picture] The picture shows a screenshot of a chat where Yue Xi unilaterally sent a message of concern to Shui Yiyao, but Shui Yiyao didn't reply.
There is another one below.
Yue Xi: Junior sister, you idiot @Shui Yi Yao, did you see this? If you did, please message me! I'm really worried about you!
"She's just trying to get attention. Don't bother with her." Sister Yu next to her also saw it, frowned, and said with a tone of annoyance.
"Why?"
"Someone will criticize her for you. And if you respond, she'll be able to use you as a tool for further hype."
"Didn't I already have a falling out with her?"
"Just go for it. As long as there's traffic, no one cares about anything else."
Yue Xi's fans just kept stirring up trouble, saying that Shui Yiyao's bad words to Yue Xi on the show were because they had such a good relationship, so she spoke very bluntly, and that was all because Shui Yiyao was outspoken.
However, because the hype was too abrupt, most netizens mocked it.
But ridicule is also a form of traffic, and people don’t mind it.
If it were any other artist, Sister Yu would have already exposed the other party's negative information, but Yue Xi is an artist from the same company, so it would be difficult to be too strict.
After all, for the company, Yue Xi's behavior of riding on the popularity is completely within the limit and not out of line.
"Now we need to investigate how this press release was sent out."
Shui Yiyao frowned and threw her phone on the table: "Okay, I get it."
Sister Yu nodded: "I'll go to the front to see if they are ready."
Watching Sister Yu leave, Shui Yiyao looked at the phone on the table. The discomfort in her heart did not subside at all. She frowned and reached for the phone again.
"Teacher Shui, there are many such things in the circle, so don't take it too seriously..." The makeup artist saw Shui Yiyao frowning and advised.
It's just a way to attract attention, it's not a rare thing.
Shui Yiyao nodded and typed on the screen: "Thank you."
The makeup artist lowered her eyes and saw Shui Yiyao's Weibo page.
Shui Yiyao: If you have time to stop chasing attention, why not focus on improving your professional skills? How many awards have you won? Why are you so excited? @Yuexi, sister, we don't have any senior-sister friendship, so don't bother me anymore.
Just as I was about to persuade her again, I saw Shui Yiyao click "Send" immediately.
Is she that tough? The makeup artist's eyelids jumped. This kind of name-calling and insulting people was definitely rare in the industry. People usually tolerated those who tried to capitalize on Yue Xi's popularity. After all, it didn't affect their fundamental interests. It was just disgusting. It wouldn't be worth it to argue with her. But why... she actually enjoyed it.
After Shui Yiyao sent the message, she threw her phone on the table and her brows relaxed.
She's been spoiled, there's no end to it.
Makeup artist: "Mr. Shui."
She gave Shui Yiyao a thumbs up.
Shui Yiyao: “…”
She cleared her throat. "It's just a small matter."

The eighth episode of the third season of "Pursuit" was aired, and the ratings of this episode set a new record in the history of the program.
The day before the show was recorded, many marketing accounts suddenly issued press releases.
[A new generation of outstanding young craftsmen from Xiaoshan Country—Matsushima Yuki—takes on Metro TV's "Pursuit" program! This episode features a formidable challenge!] Matsushima Yuki, only 26, has been a jewelry craftsman for 15 years! He has won numerous awards in the crafts industry in Xiaoshan Country. He explained that his trip this time was to learn from and compete with veteran Chinese craftsmen.
…
The development of the handicraft industry in Xiaoshan Country has always been better than that in my country. The reason for this is closely related to the fact that Xiaoshan Country itself attaches great importance to handicraftsmen and the general environment in which Chinese people respect handicraftsmen.
The unique craftsman spirit of Xiaoshan Country is admirable. I wonder when our country will have such excellent craftsmen.
After this article was published, it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Netizens immediately found out the guests of that episode, including Matsushima Yuki, Shui Yiyao, and Chi Luoluo, a total of three guests.
"Pursuit" is a large-scale folk culture exploration program.
We have done popular science programs on folk culture such as woodworking, sugar painting, and shadow puppetry for many episodes. The ratings have not been high, but we have been doing it all the time. It is a popular science program with high value. The participants have always been elites from all walks of life. Later, in order to save the ratings, we added a celebrity artist.
The marketing account compiled and summarized the information of the three guests.
Matsushima Yuuki, a craftsman from Oyama Province and a master of jewelry processing, is 26 years old and has been in the industry for 15 years.
Chi Luoluo, a Chinese craftsman and master of gold and silver inlay, is 26 years old and has been in the industry for 13 years.
Shui Yiyao, a Chinese female artist, whose representative work is "Up Mountains and Down Seas", is 23 years old and has been in the industry for one year.
Shui Yiyao's profile seems out of place in it.
Some netizens became anxious after watching this and tagged the program team, asking them to replace the cast.
—Are you kidding me? That guy from Xiaoshan Country is a craftsman with fifteen years of experience! On our side, a female celebrity? Just losing is the end of it?
——We know that there are not many people who have fifteen years of work experience at the age of twenty-six, but it is not necessary to find a twenty-three-year-old female star?
Our country has so many excellent craftspeople, why must we use a female celebrity? Even if she can carve wood, she can't possibly be better than Matsushima Yuki, who has been doing it for 15 years, right? Can we find someone else?
The outcry was quite loud, and the production team also had this idea, so they held an emergency discussion meeting. At the discussion meeting, the elder directly rejected the proposal and strongly supported Shui Yiyao to participate in the recording of this episode.
The program crew did not respond, and suddenly news broke online that it was because of the contract. If they replaced Shui Yiyao, they would have to pay her a penalty for breach of contract, and the program crew could not afford it, so they did not make the change.
So netizens went to Shui Yiyao's Weibo and asked her to be more self-conscious and withdraw from this episode to make it easier for the program team to replace her.
Originally, Shui Yiyao wanted to post something to appease netizens, or post something on Weibo to show her determination to win, but last time she cursed Yue Xi by name, Sister Yu confiscated her account.
Can't send anything.
So she logged into her other account.
Chengdao Jade Carving: I think Shui Yiyao will win, I have confidence.
That Matsushima is only 26 years old and has only been in the industry for 15 years, but he is already bragging about it.
She is twenty-three years old and has been in the industry for seventeen years. Did she blow it?
-Yuyu, you might as well go and join in!
-This show is for people like you. I have confidence in you!
-Hahahaha, Yuyu, you are so cute.
- Let’s raise funds through crowdfunding to pay for the compensation so that the production team can replace the cast.
- +1 for participating in crowdfunding.
- Participate in crowdfunding +10086.
The development of the comments was beyond Shui Yiyao's expectations. She originally wanted to set the pace for herself, but it seemed that the situation was getting worse and worse.
I closed my Weibo account feeling a bit depressed and prepared to participate in the show.
The program had a pre-interview, asking Shui Yiyao what she thought about the upcoming episode.
Shui Yiyao: "I don't think I will necessarily lose to others."
This sentence caused another storm on the Internet.
Netizens said that Shui Yiyao was clueless and didn’t know what it meant to be a craftsman with fifteen years of experience, and she spoke too arrogantly.
Especially compared with the guest Chi Luoluo at the same time, he seems even more frivolous.
Chi Luoluo faced the camera: "Mr. Songdao has been in the industry for 15 years, he is really amazing. I will do my best. Thank you for your support, I will do my best."
A week later, "The Pursuit" premiered.
This episode consists of three parts: introducing one's own talents, talent competition and on-site voting, and treasure appraisal competition.
Before the recording of the show, the guests were in the studio, ready to go on stage.
Sister Yu was beside Shui Yiyao and told her, "Don't be too nervous, just treat it as a serious variety show recording."
She glanced at the other two guests in the studio, her expression heavy. She knew her artists were talented, and she'd deliberately fought for this variety show, but she hadn't anticipated the current situation. An ordinary cultural variety show had become a success or failure thanks to Matsushima Yuki's participation.
Shui Yiyao: "Don't worry."
Sister Yu nodded.
Songdao Xigui walked over and saw Shui Yiyao. He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "It's you, the plumber?"
Shui Yiyao nodded: "That's right."
Matsushima Yuki was the foreign man seen outside the museum that day. Reports said that he came to China with a group of craftsmen from Xiaoshan Country. The purpose of their trip was to exchange craftsmanship with the Chinese.
However, the only one who came to participate in "The Pursuit" was Matsushima Yuki, while other craftsmen from the small mountain country were visiting and exploring other places.
"Your wood carvings are quite good." Matsushima Yuki raised his chin with a very proud look, "It's a good hobby even if it's just for fun as a hobby."
Shui Yiyao frowned, then relaxed her brows, smiled and nodded: "Yeah, just a hobby."
What does it mean to be rampant? This is what it means to be rampant.
This foreign idiot must have been fooled by Chinese marketing accounts. Didn't he even see the Tibetan line carving she demonstrated in "An Le Village"? He just said wood carving, "Just for fun?" Or is it because Tibetan line carving is so niche that he doesn't know about it?
When Matsushima Yuuki saw Shui Yiyao admit it, he raised his chin and walked towards Chi Luoluo in the corner.
Chi Luoluo is the inheritor of the gold and silver inlay craft. She looks very low-key and has been organizing her tools there.
Matsushima Yuki didn't know what he said to Chi Luoluo, but Chi Luoluo nodded in agreement, and he smiled even more proudly.
After a while, the show started recording and the three of them walked onto the stage together.
After the usual opening ceremony, the host introduced the three people. After the introduction, he asked each of them what talents they wanted to show.
The first person to ask was Matsushima Yuki.
He smiled at the camera, looking quite elegant: "I started out as a relief sculpture."
He introduced relief carving and talked about his experience in making relief carving.
Fifteen minutes.
The second one is Chi Luoluo. Chi Luoluo speaks concisely: "I am Jin Yincuo."
"Gold and silver are decorated on utensils through inlay or painting." She briefly introduced what gold and silver inlay is in just two sentences.
It was Shui Yiyao's turn, whose hairline was shorter than Chi Luoluo's.
Facing the host's question, Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I also make relief sculptures."
"But I'm an amateur, and I'm mainly here to learn."
Sister Yu in the audience couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that her artist's words were malicious.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Matsushima Yuki made a strong appearance. Logically, Shui Yiyao should have avoided a head-on fight with him, but who knew that she chose the same skill as Matsushima Yuki. If she lost, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
