Chapter 44 Chapter 44
The live broadcast was finally scheduled for 7pm on the weekend.
Major social media platforms have been promoting this live broadcast extensively, with keywords such as #Watch high-quality guests fall in love# and #Come to the "Last Day Lovers" live broadcast room to pick your favorite CP# appearing one after another, making it difficult to keep up.
An Jiyue, in charge of the scene, was like a wound-up spring, constantly busy. Fortunately, she had basically finished her preparations the night before, and she only had a quick glance at her phone when she had some free time.
The number of people who have made reservations for the live broadcast has exceeded one million, and the comment section under the hot topic has evolved into a battlefield for fans of several couples and only fans.
"Protect the best Zhu Ling in the world! Sister is the only one who is beautiful! Men will only slow down Sister's pace on the flower path!"
"It's bad, my treasured male guest Zhan Nianqing is about to be discovered!"
"She's making a fuss, he's laughing. I really want to watch Rongrong and Shujun quarrel live!"
"What's wrong with that upstairs? Can't you look forward to seeing us little lovers?"
"Pure and innocent girl, I'm holding the banner for Haifu! Mr. Zhan, please give me some support. Our Haifu is such a good girl, why are you still hesitating?"
"Stop joking, Hai Fu and Lu Ye are the perfect match!"
"Luzhu CP fans are on their way..."
"Luzhu CP fans, please disband! Lu Ye is not suitable for a relationship at all!"
…
An Jiyue read the last comment twice, then typed a line of words: "Why is it inappropriate?!"
After satisfying his desire, he quietly deleted it and reposted the official Weibo promotional post with a few emojis of expectation and love.
"Xiao An, how are your preparations going?"
Director Zhang arrived at the scene at some point, looking around and inspecting the surrounding arrangements. An Jiyue hurriedly stood up and introduced everyone one by one.
"Everything is fine now."
"We'll start with a half-hour group livestream, with two mini-game sessions. The game will start with the guests earning points, which will continue throughout the livestream. This segment will be filmed similarly to the official program."
"Then the guests will be divided into three live broadcast rooms, each of which will broadcast for 40 minutes, playing truth or dare. At the same time, the three live broadcast rooms will have a competition. We have raised this issue with the platform, and the platform has temporarily opened up a mechanism for us to compete against each other in the three live broadcast rooms."
Director Zhang showed approval. Using points and PK competitions to consolidate fans and increase their length of stay is indeed the most effective method.
An Jiyue is worthy of being someone who has personally worked on online variety shows, and she has a thorough grasp of the online sense and trends.
"We need to add one more segment." Director Zhang explained his purpose, "The new guest will fill in the final spot."
An Jiyue remained calm, waiting for Director Zhang to continue. After all, she had heard the news beforehand, so she wasn't surprised and had even reserved time for it.
"The guest's profile hasn't been released yet. He's someone with a strong background, and could be considered the successor sponsor of our show. We'll need to introduce him to them."
Director Zhang made his words perfectly clear, clearly trusting her enough to be completely transparent. But An Jiyue still felt bewildered. How could there be no information about a guest who was set to appear in just a few hours?
She tried a different approach: "So, when will this guest arrive? I can communicate with him in advance..."
"That's even more uncertain." Director Zhang smiled bitterly. "Do you know why I'm telling you now?"
An Jiyue shook her head in confusion, and Director Zhang sighed sadly:
"Because this male guest flew back from Europe at short notice and is still on the plane."
-
The live broadcast starts on time at 7pm.
Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the broadcast the moment it started, and six handsome men and beautiful women appeared in the live broadcast room together, saying good evening to the audience in front of the screen.
Although it was night, the people on the stage still looked radiant and full of energy.
In order to keep everyone in good shape, the program team specially canceled the recording on the weekend afternoon and asked the guests to return to the hotel to rest.
Except for Lu Ye. While the others were enjoying a long nap, he asked An Jiyue for the car keys and went out to do two road shows.
An Jiyue was a little worried: "Will there be enough time?"
But he kissed her forehead with his warm lips, and she heard the deep voice in his chest reply, "Don't worry."
She surrendered immediately and let him go.
At this moment, Lu Ye was no different from the others. He stood upright, and his eyes, which were always as cold as ink, became even brighter under the strong light.
An Jiyue calmed down a little and pushed the process forward according to schedule.
The mini-game has entered the second round. The points for winning and losing are different. On the real-time ranking list, Lu Ye is at the bottom.
An Jiyue chuckled to herself; she had never seen his name in this position before. The two words "Lu Ye" were almost always at the top of the list, eclipsing all the other names.
But not today. The production team of "The Last Days Lovers" wanted to eliminate him legitimately through the ranking system.
Lu Ye frowned slightly and raised his hands awkwardly, indicating that he would skip the question. On the scoreboard, he was deducted another point.
His acting was quite natural, and his always-under-control expressions contrasted with the wrong answers he read out. The audience wondered how he could always give wrong answers in such an unquestionable tone.
The barrage of comments was filled with shocking comments one after another.
"Ah? Did Lu Ye answer wrong?"
"Look at how calmly he answered!"
"The host doesn't look as trustworthy as Lu Ye..."
His tone sounded so calm and certain. If a viewer who didn't know the answer himself listened to his answer, he would feel as if this was the correct and perfect option.
Lu Ye did have this kind of charm. She had known it for a long time.
An Jiyue couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips proudly.
The live broadcast quickly entered the second phase of the group PK. As expected, Shu Jun and Rong Rong, Guan Haifu and Zhan Nianqing, and Zhu Ling and Lu Ye were paired up.
Out of the control of the host, the atmosphere in each sub-live broadcast room is also very different.
Rongrong and Shujun are a pair of funny guys. They usually make a lot of noise in front of the entire production crew, but they become shy when facing the live camera and the booing comments, and they don't even dare to look at each other.
An Jiyue instructed her assistant to block the comments in their livestream and asked the host to come over to help. She then asked the first very pointed question: "What would you do if you found out that your romantic partner was in contact with multiple people at the same time?"
Rongrong lost the dice roll to Shu Jun. Unable to see the comments, she finally let out her sharp tongue: "To deal with an octopus, of course, you have to cut off its hands and feet. Isn't there an old saying? A man will only be at peace when he is nailed to the wall."
"However, since we're just flirting, I'd be more inclined to cut off the hand between him and me," she added seriously.
Shu Jun's temples were covered in sweat, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in the corner of the screen. It wasn't that he had any ulterior motives, but he just hadn't gotten used to Rongrong still showing off in public. This reaction immediately became a hot topic among netizens.
"By provoking Rongrong, Shu Jun has hit a wall."
"Shu Jun is just about to raise his hands and feet to prove his innocence!"
Shu Jun had already experienced Rongrong's temper eight hundred times in his mind. At this moment, he just wanted to reduce his presence to avoid getting into trouble. But as luck would have it, the host suddenly called him to comment on Rongrong's answer.
"I agree," he said firmly. "Even during the ambiguous period, there should be tacit understanding and respect in one-on-one relationships."
When did Shu Jun become so enlightened... An Jiyue raised her eyebrows in surprise at this big boy with a strong desire to survive. He felt like a completely different person. He seemed to have mastered the skills of getting along with Rongrong, unlike his previous description of being completely clueless about love and feeling helpless.
Zhan Nianqing and Guan Haifu were a steady and cautious pair, and they advanced the questions in a tacit and orderly manner. During the big adventure segment, Guan Haifu also performed a personal solo house dance, which instantly attracted a large number of audiences.
Guan Haifu was wearing a well-made JK uniform today, with a perfect waistline and skirt, and a neat and cute bow tie on her chest. She had a sweet smile, and her ponytail fluttered with her movements, giving off a youthful vibe.
Zhan Nianqing gentlemanly made room for her, clapping and cheering to liven up the atmosphere. When Hai Fu finished dancing breathlessly, he immediately handed her a bottle of purified water with the cap loosened, and his eyes were filled with admiration and praise when he looked at her.
An Jiyue relaxed a little. The remaining group, Zhu Ling and Lu Ye, were both people she could fully trust in terms of their ability to control the situation, and there would be no mistakes.
Before she could take a closer look, Xu Mu had already hurriedly trotted over to her and whispered something to her.
An Jiyue's face changed and she turned and left in a hurry.
She rushed to the temporary meeting room and saw several other team leaders standing anxiously, with Director Zhang surrounded. Before Director Zhang could say anything, Song Yiyi directly threw a difficult question at her.
"The new sponsor has come with advertising needs and wants to put it out now. How should we divide the three live broadcast rooms?"
An Jiuyue, who was still catching her breath, was stunned by the question and gave the most correct and conventional answer without thinking.
"When the live broadcast is halfway through, there's no way to see other statistics. We can weight the distribution based on current popularity and dynamically adjust it every fifteen minutes."
Song Yiyi did not refute, but continued to ask: "Which group is the most popular now?"
"Group C." An Jiyue had been watching the live broadcast and was familiar with the data.
Group C is the group of Zhu Ling and Lu Ye.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds. An Jiyue suddenly came to her senses.
Although Group C is currently the most popular, according to previous discussions, the production team will soon start demoting this group. Advertising at this time will actually help them gain more traffic, and Lu Ye's popularity may actually increase.
An Jiyue suggested: "Then let's switch to Group B? Haifu is also very popular right now."
"Actually, the new sponsor has already designated the investment direction." Director Zhang rubbed his brow with a headache. "We can only give more volume to Group C."
An Jiyue felt a little confused. She had a lot of things to do at the scene, but was dragged here to participate in the discussion. She really didn't understand what these people were up to.
"It's not about designating Group C, but designating one person."
"Lu Ye."
An Jiyue nodded, not quite understanding. It just disrupted the previously planned elimination method. If it really didn't work, the program team could just issue a statement and directly announce that Lu Ye was leaving.
But her intuition told her that the matter was not over yet, and she was waiting for Director Zhang to continue.
Director Zhang seemed exhausted. He waved his hand and motioned Song Yiyi to speak for him.
"The advertising format isn't product placement, it's not product promotion, it's not linking, and it's not voiceover." Song Yiyi informed her in a calm voice, "The sponsor behind the guest will come to the live broadcast room in person. He's already here."
