Halfway up the mountain in Yuncheng, the staff of the "Spiritual Affairs" program team are debugging the recording equipment in preparation for the upcoming live broadcast.
The assistant in charge of moving the sundries heard the director's roar not far away, and lowered his voice to ask the person next to him: "What happened to Director Li today? I just accidentally tripped over the wiring and got scolded!"
The companion said, "Hey, it's because that guy was pushed in by Producer Lin. Director Li has been angry for several days. It's your bad luck that you ran into trouble!"
The format of the program "Spiritual Affairs" is very special. It adopts the form of recording and broadcasting with real-time feedback. One episode is recorded every eight days. The time in between is for the contestants to rest and adjust, and also for the program team to edit.
In the first episode, the program team has selected ten official contestants from the hundreds of extraordinary people who participated in the auditions.
Unexpectedly, just after the recording was completed, one person had an accident and had to withdraw from the competition.
Director Li originally planned to pick a replacement from those eliminated in other auditions, but the producer inserted Gu Zhisang in to make the show more popular.
He has been angry for several days because of this.
The assistant scratched his head and said, "Is it that serious? Gu Zhisang is so pretty and more popular than the average second-tier star. Wouldn't it be great if she could make the show more popular?"
The companion said, "You are a new guy, you don't know shit. This woman has a bad temper and likes to act like a big shot. When the time comes, won't we, the little guys, be the ones who suffer?"
Before he could finish his words, the director in the studio interrupted him: "What are you two doing standing there? Are you acting like sculptures?!"
After Li Chenghe finished yelling, the two staff members shrank their heads and dispersed, but he felt even more annoyed.
"Spiritual Matters" was his original selection, but he was not a big director. He had no connections and no money at the beginning, so he had no choice but to team up with producer Lin Hang.
Lin Hang didn't believe in metaphysics at all. In order to attract more traffic, he created a lot of vulgar plots in the first two seasons. But the show did become popular, and it also attracted many sponsors and made a lot of money.
Li Chenghe is different. His original intention of doing this program is to promote and prove metaphysics;
He couldn’t make decisions before because he had no money, but now that he has money he wants to shoot well.
He spent half a year looking for extraordinary people, supernatural events and materials, hoping to create a real metaphysical variety show!
Who would have thought that just as the show started, Lin Hang once again inserted Gu Zhisang in to attract attention, and said nonchalantly:
"Oh, Lao Li, you are too rigid. There is nothing interesting to watch. Which audience and sponsor will support your show?"
This attitude made Li Chenghe so angry that he felt uncomfortable for several days, and his feelings towards Gu Zhisang also reached the lowest point.
The assistant director said, "Brother Li, there are still 20 minutes until the official start time. All the live broadcast rooms have been activated and the audience is streaming in."
Li Chenghe leaned over to take a look. Ten live broadcast windows had popped up on the screens of the two main controllers. However, the screen was still black because the cameras had not been turned on.
Thanks to the large number of viewers accumulated in the first two seasons of "Spiritual Affairs", as well as bystanders and Gu Zhisang's black fans, the number of people in each live broadcast room exceeded 10,000 within three minutes.
Especially in the live broadcast room with Gu Zhisang's name, the number of users soared to six figures, with hundreds or thousands of people added every few seconds. Above the dark live broadcast screen, comments were posted lively.
[Brothers and sisters, are you here? Bring your melon seeds and drinks, it’s time for the “Civilized Monkey Watching” program that happens every eight days. 】
[In order to criticize Gu Zhisang's software, I would like to introduce to you the first "plague-type" artist in the circle. He is a bad-hearted person who tramples on his teammates and is a drama queen who makes random claims! ! ]
[Ah... the comment section is so chaotic, why are they all scolding this contestant? ]
[Everyone can take revenge if they have a grudge. As long as you hate Gu Zhisang, it doesn’t matter if we are fans of the rival family or not. We are all sisters today! ]
[Is it because the disfigured beauty character can no longer be marketed, so she is trying to market the character of a person with bad luck or a plague god? 】
[Where is the anchor? Come out and get scolded. Weren’t you quite shameless when you slandered Xiaoqing before? My keyboard is ready. ]
【……】
After two seasons, the staff have a certain understanding of their own program. Although there are many people who criticize it, there are also many people who enjoy watching the show and playing with the jokes.
It was the first time they had seen a situation like in Gu Zhisang's live broadcast room, where nearly 100,000 people rushed in and started to curse as soon as the broadcast started.
The assistant director was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Li, should we control the comments? Set up some filtering words or something..."
Li Chenghe said coldly: "No need."
Don’t you want to be popular? His agent even called him personally and said that he didn’t need to take special care of him.
He hoped that Gu Zhisang would take a closer look at the comments and quit if he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay." The assistant director felt that the female artist was also very miserable. Anyone who looked down and saw a screen full of curses would collapse. "The show will officially start in ten minutes. Do you want to give her another call?"
Li Chenghe was unhappy, "You're late on the first day of the show and you're acting like a big shot!"
"Who is responsible for contacting Gu Zhisang? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
The girl in charge said, "I called Teacher Gu about half an hour ago, and she said she had reached the foot of the mountain. I'll call her again."
She was stunned when she took out her cell phone. "Teacher Gu said she, said she..."
"Um, hello, director?" A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind the crowd. When they turned around, they saw two girls in sportswear suits, hats and masks standing not far from the studio.
The person in front of her was wearing a grey suit and looked to be about 1.7 meters tall. She only showed a pair of eyes, which were long but not sunken and slightly upturned. Her pupils were clean and bright, and the skin at the end of her eyes was as white as snow.
Even without seeing her face, everyone was certain that she was a beauty.
"You seem to be looking for me?" The beauty took off her mask to reveal her full face. "I'm Gu Zhisang, and this is my assistant Xiao Zhou."
Xiao Zhou bowed nervously, "Hello, Director!"
The girl in charge of contacting swallowed and handed the phone to Li Chenghe, "Director Li, Teacher Gu sent me a message 20 minutes ago saying that she had arrived. I didn't see it at the time. I'm sorry, sorry!!"
Gu Zhisang: "Don't blame her. I saw that everyone was busy and there was still some time, so I didn't bother you rashly."
Li Chenghe looked at the smiling girl in front of him with mixed feelings, his old face felt a little hot.
If he saw it right, the two girls had indeed stayed nearby for quite a while, helping to move some small equipment. Who would have thought that they were Gu Zhisang, who was always late as rumored on the Internet? ? !
The staff nearby were also shocked, and then a little embarrassed.
Many of them were just talking about Gu Zhisang, chatting about her negative material and gossip, but the person in question was listening right next to them.
Li Chenghe coughed lightly, "Xiao Feng, take her to her live studio to prepare. Are you familiar with the second round's rules?"
Gu Zhisang nodded and said, "I've read the script."
Li Chenghe: ...
"...The cameras in the room are all set to turn on automatically at a certain time. If you need to put on makeup, hurry up." After saying that, he walked into the studio with his hands behind his back.
“Thank you, director.”
——
After entering the separate room, assistant Xiao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and took out tissues and water from his bag and placed them on the table.
"Sister Sang, wipe your sweat. Do you want to touch up your makeup?"
Gu Zhisang took off his hat and mask, raised his eyes and curled the corners of his lips, "Thank you for your hard work."
This made Xiao Zhou stunned. Only when he looked closely could he intuitively feel how good Gu Zhisang's skin was.
She seemed to have no makeup on, but her face was still white and glowing, with no visible pores at all. Even though there was a scar on her forehead, it did not destroy her beauty.
"No, it's not hard. This is what I should do."
Xiao Zhou is not a professional assistant. She was hired as an intern more than half a month ago. After only three days of training, she was suddenly ordered to go to Gu Zhisang.
Economic companies are where gossip spreads the fastest, and they are also the most snobbish and flattering places.
As soon as she received the transfer, people around her told her a lot about how bad Miss Gu's temper was and how difficult she was to serve. They even said that she would beat and scold her assistants. Their words were full of sympathy and ridicule, which made Xiao Zhou, who was still an intern, very scared.
But after spending half a day together, all she could see was: Sister Sang is so beautiful and gentle, entertainment industry rumors are really so scary!!
After all the staff in the room left, Xiao Zhou asked cautiously, "Sister Sang, aren't you angry when they say that to you?"
It was fine to listen to those people's gossip outside, but once I entered the live broadcast room, the screen was full of dirty words sent by haters;
She felt angry just watching them and wanted to go up and argue with them. How depressed Sister Sang must be!
"There's nothing to be angry about. Rumors and gossip have existed since ancient times. As long as the people who like me believe me, that's enough."
After saying this, Gu Zhisang was quite satisfied. As a person with a strong sense of responsibility, although she did not like being an artist, out of respect for this profession and fans, she still read two books on "Artists' Talk" very professionally.
Xiao Zhou felt even more distressed after hearing this: "I believe Sister Sang, they will definitely regret it in the future!"
Gu Zhisang smiled and said, "Yes, those who sow discord and slander others while they are alive will have their tongues pulled out by the little ghosts after they die. They will definitely regret it after being thrown into the tongue-pulling hell."
Xiao Zhou: ...
Why did she feel her tongue was a little tight?
"Ah, the time is up." Seeing the clock pointing to nine o'clock, Gu Zhisang leaned closer to the device in front of him and looked at the camera, "The live broadcast room should be open."
守在直播间内翘首以待、等着顾之桑一出现就开喷的人拿着设备，只见画面一亮，都看直了眼睛一时语塞。
弹幕区出现一两秒的空白。
直播画面里的女人怼着摄像头，在高清拍摄下卷而长的黑睫根根分明，鼻尖一点红痣格外姝丽。
她用白皙修长的指尖撑着下巴尖，带了些漫不经心，“嗯？摄像头还没开吗？”
下一秒弹幕爆发式增长：
【兄弟们我叛变了，这么美的脸谁能骂得了啊？？我宣布从今天起主播就是我的新老婆。嗨老婆，嘴一个啵啵啵～】
【？？？顾之桑长这样吗？啊……好像是，卧槽她不是毁容了吗？为什么感觉变得更好看了？】
【无语了，能不能别那么肤浅，长得漂亮心肠是黑的，恶心。】
【可你们再怎么说她蠢毒坏，主播还是好漂亮啊！关注了。】
玄学，自古以来都是神秘的，哪怕大多数人坚定自己是科学无神论者，也不得不承认他们是向往那些玄而又灵的故事的，因此《灵事》这档节目的受众非常广。
上到八十岁大爷大娘，下到小学生全家一起追，更汇集了各个圈子，娱乐圈的粉丝们从来都只是其中之一。
路人们对那些黑料本就是看戏吃瓜，不会真的恨顾之桑；
在如今颜狗遍地走的时代，第一生产力美貌就是绝对的武器，评论区当即就从一边倒的骂声，多出不少舔颜的。
无视乌烟瘴气的骂声，顾之桑微微挑眉：“大家好啊，从今以后我就是《灵事》第三季的常驻选手了。”
“问我会不会通灵？不会点真本事我也不敢来啊，节目流程呢大家都知道，我就不介绍了，直接开始吧。”
《灵事》每一期的开头，都设置了一个暖场的互动环节。
直播间内的观众如果不介意被暴露信息，可以点击参与互动，一旦被选中就能和选手进行连麦互动；
期间观众不可以告诉选手自己的具体信息，而是要让选手通过自己的本领，把身份信息和过往经历算出来。
信息越详细准确，代表选手的能力越强，相当于检测选手的能力。
这个互动环节向来是观众最喜欢的项目之一，有太多人想要测试选手是否真的懂玄学。
过去两季里，有的人通过隔空算命出圈，被称为神算子；
但更多选手则是大翻车，算得牛头不对马嘴，一时被网友们剪辑成专门的搞笑栏目、流传甚广。
因为顾之桑第一期没来，导演组还非常搞事地请她测算两位观众。
此时弹幕刷得都有些卡顿，开播不到十分钟，直播间人数突破了十五万大关！
在不为人知的地底深渊，阴风怒号黑云沉沉。
本该万鬼游**的阴曹地府，此时颇为安静，细细看去黄泉路头尾、奈何桥上、三途河沿岸的腐土和鬼柳上，挂满了乌压压的魂体。
每只鬼的手里，都拿着一个简陋的小板子，微微发亮的屏幕一转一转，卡得众鬼心情烦躁。
“唉！！俺挤进去了！有画面了！”
“如果有下辈子我一定当个好人，这样死了还能早点投胎！一想到我要在这破网的地府再排五十年的队才能转世……阎王爷啊！不如让我魂飞魄散吧！！”
“都开始好一会子了，大哥你借我看看呗，我这小圈实在转不出来啊……”
“……”
鬼中也有不少厉鬼、凶鬼，在地府徘徊百年灵体强大，此时总是加载不出节目，一股凶戾涌上心头，直接扑上去撕碎了另一只成功加载、还在得意洋洋的小鬼，抢夺了它的设备。
一时间众鬼争抢撕咬、大打出手，三途河岸阴气滚滚。
新任走马小官见状心有余悸，它原本也不过是只小鬼，可地府网络实在太差！
为了看《灵事》，这小鬼卷生卷死不停修行，成功上岸成为一名最小的阴官，自此再也不用担心网络卡顿了！
黑无常范无救开鬼门、从阳间勾魂回来时，看到得就是这样一幅热闹的鬼景。
他虽个小微胖，但单肩扛着一柄布满钢齿的哭丧棒，一身乌黑袍子头顶黑色官帽，上书：‘天下太平’。
另一只手扯着勾魂锁链，后头挂着一串新抓的厉鬼，感受到后头的挣扎，范无救抡起就是一棒子。
“给黑爷我老实点！”
把蔫了吧唧的厉鬼往前一踢，范无救摸摸白胖的下巴：“马面呢，过来干活了！”
靠在黄泉路口和鬼魂勾肩搭背、忙着追直播的马面抬起头，“黑爷回来了！”
马面自己没过去，反手从身后抓了个小阴官，“你去送队，俺忙着追节目呢。”
范无救：……
它摇着头，“无可救药了。”
一抬头，它便看到上方鬼门关顶飘着一抹白，于是纵身一跃跳了上去，“白哥，现在这地府里的鬼越来越蠢了，我就不明白了，那个阳间的破节目有什么好看的！”
斜靠着鬼门关黑麒麟的谢必安闻言，细长眉眼扫了一下范无救，沉默不言。
范无救一低头，发现它白哥手里也拿着个设备，画面上赫然是一个阳间女人的直播！
“完了白哥……你也被腐蚀了！”
谢必安懒得理它，侧了身继续观看。
不甘被冷落的范无救耸耸鼻尖，它决定打入敌人内部，好好看看这个《灵事》的节目到底有什么好看的！
回忆着刚刚在谢必安手里看到的脸，它挨个点开选手的直播间，终于找到了目标。
“顾之桑……嚯，人气还挺高。”
因为地府偷连的是阳间的网络，阴间众鬼发的评论也能显示在直播间中，但一是网卡很多鬼根本发不出去，二是地府的评论也染了阴气、很容易被人忽略或活人根本看不见。
范无救倒是看得挺清楚，只见零零碎碎几条鬼评被淹没。
“选手肤白眼亮，肝脏什么的一定很健康！头骨也好圆，好漂亮好喜欢～”
“妇道人家，怎堪抛头露面，行此等乡野神棍之事，成何体统？！”看来这是只封建老鬼。
就在这时，直播间里这个叫顾之桑的女人说话了：
“点击参加第一轮互动的观众，已经抽到人选了，昵称名为‘清风月明’的观众在吗？你现在可以连麦吗？”
【卧槽！是清风吗？不会这么巧吧……】
【是我知道的那个‘清风月明’么，清风里挺有名的粉头！！太好了这下顾之桑没法作弊了，月明大佬搞她！】
【请黑糊咖不要碰瓷一线女明星，还对家呢，现在她给清清提鞋都不配好吧。】
弹幕里不少娱乐圈人激动不已，连声说修罗场现场，弄得其他不知道的人一头雾水。
经弹幕解释，网友们才知道，’清风‘是一个女明星的粉丝们的自称，这个女明星和顾之桑是对家。
而’清风月明‘则是女明星的一个知名大粉，氪金无数还是某平台博主，管理了好几个粉丝群，所以直接被认出来了。
他粉的女明星名叫于风清，是近几年来非常火的小花。
于风清本就是娱乐圈中少有的温柔知性款，和她合作过的所有男女艺人对她印象还都非常好，公开表示于风清是一个很好的人；
除了顾之桑。
说起来两人渊源颇深，她们同从一个选秀节目出道，但当时两家就撕得昏天黑地。
两年过去了，一个是娱乐圈中人人喊打的黑红艺人，另一个是口碑极佳的上升期小花，对比度惨烈。
最戏剧性的则是，顾之桑因为出道以来常常倒霉，被人起了个’瘟神‘的黑称；
于风清却是圈内公认的‘人间锦鲤’，她的朋友以及合作过的伙伴，都曾对这个身份表示肯定，每年考试日还会有一大批人去拜拜‘锦鲤’。
如今厌顾之桑入骨的对家大粉，抽中了第一个互动算命的机会，围观网友直呼过瘾。
清风月明：哇我还挺幸运^V^，可以连麦，等我拿个耳机～
他发完评论，强忍着激动看了眼粉丝群，发现群里的人都兴奋得刷着消息，艾特他。
'真的是群主大大吗？？’
'群主牛逼！！我真的烦死顾之桑了，第一次这么讨厌一个女明星！’
'哈哈哈她也是够惨的，撞上月明连装都没法装，只能说她真的坏事做多了，走霉运了（狗头）’
群主—月明：‘上电视了兄弟们，看我操作。’
在粉丝群口嗨完，‘清风月明’切回了直播间，连上了麦：“我来啦。”
他这才看到，已经有直播间内的网友沿着他的id，找到了他五分钟前在直播间内发的评论，复制粘贴刷屏了。
【清风月明：爷笑了，不会真的有人相信顾之桑会通灵吧？如果她能通灵我倒立吃键盘！】
