Chapter 45 World 2 [15]
Thanks to the backdoor opened by the program crew, Xu Yin was finally no longer so unlucky in front of the camera.
After exchanging the wood he had painstakingly chopped for half a day for clues to two supply boxes, Xu Yin received two boxes of dry noodles and a small box of biscuits, so he didn't have to worry about what to eat today and tomorrow morning.
Xu Yin was happy after receiving the supplies. Although eating fast food was not that healthy, it was at least much better than chewing on the hard-to-swallow wild taro.
But after Xu Yin smelled the fragrance of beggar's chicken, some unknown beautiful memories came to his mind again, instantly diluting his joy.
Dry noodles were indeed better than munching on wild taro, but compared to the delicious beggar's chicken, which was just as delicious as the ones in restaurants, it was still a far cry. Besides, Shao Qing had plenty of dry noodles and biscuits by the second day.
Xu Yin didn't want to go over and wait for a bite of food like someone who hadn't eaten, so he went straight back to his own small camp for two and prepared some seafood dry noodles.
This time, Shao Qing did not share the pheasant with others. He only split it with Yu Hongjun. After eating, he buried the bones in the soil so that they could decompose and turn into fertilizer.
Li Liming and Liu Chang didn't react much to the fact that they didn't get the beggar's chicken. They were quite clear-headed about this kind of thing.
They had no part in setting the traps, and they didn't help with handling the pheasants, so it was normal that they couldn't get a bite.
But it was different for Zheng Xingxing, who was obviously more greedy after being fed twice. Although he resisted the urge to take a bite, the desire in his eyes was very obvious.
Zheng Xingxing's luck is quite conservative. The supply box he exchanged for ten kilograms of marine garbage today also contained a 1kg bag of rice. As long as he doesn't choose European food, he will definitely not go hungry.
"It's okay, it's okay. I smelled it and I tasted it. The seafood porridge tastes good too." Zheng Xingxing muttered to himself, drinking the shellfish porridge which obviously had more soup than rice grains, and seemed to be hypnotizing himself.
Zheng Xingxing has a good appearance, and he was sitting on a small rock, eating from a bowl in small bites. In the camera, he looked particularly pitiful and weak.
"How could Shao Qing be so unlovable? How could he finish a whole chicken? Why didn't he give Xingxing a chicken leg? He just watched him eat the porridge!" "Xingxing is so good. Even though he wanted to eat beggar's chicken, he didn't say it. He really did. I cried my heart out!"
['Are all Zheng Xingxing's fans underage? My Qingqing got the pheasant with her own skills, so what's wrong with her eating it herself?' 'You're kind and generous. If you want to care about your brother, just call a plane to airdrop supplies to him.']
Zheng Xingxing's agent didn't deliberately try to steer the conversation, and the occasional comments were quickly suppressed by fans and passersby.
Shao Qing took a sip of coconut water. After enjoying the delicious food, her mood became much better. She was not affected by the comments of some brainless fans.
"Thank you. I think you don't need to stare at the comments all the time. You can take a break." Shao Qing said, "My haters won't stay in the live broadcast room all day to smear me."
It's good to be able to get information in real time, but staring at the barrage every moment is too tiring. Since we are partners, I shouldn't blindly exploit Jing Ke. A long-term approach is a better solution.
[It's okay. Processing this information is as easy as drinking water for me. I won't get tired.]
After realizing that Shao Qing was concerned about him, Jing Ke's tone changed slightly.
Your popularity has recovered somewhat. Would you consider formally clarifying those rumors during the live broadcast?
The program team plans to host a live Q&A session the night after tomorrow. They'll randomly select twenty questions from online submissions. I can pick a few related to your scandal to give you a chance.
"Is this the decision the director just made?" Shao Qing asked.
[Yes, the director has already arranged for someone to create the relevant submission links. Ten of the twenty questions were selected in advance by the program team, and the other ten were randomly selected.]
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Please arrange it when the time comes." Shao Qing did not refuse.
The sixth night, isn't that Saturday night?
Randomly picking questions submitted by netizens and asking the guests to answer them is a good gimmick. There should be a lot of people online in the live broadcast room at that time, so it would be good to clarify it yourself.
-
Xu Yin had a decent life thanks to backdoor connections, so he stayed quiet for a while and didn't try to cause trouble in front of Shao Qing.
As one of the investors who invested money, Xu Yin also learned from his agent on the fourth night that the program team would blindly draw netizens' submissions and have designated guests answer them.
For the sake of the five million, the production team gave Xu Yin the opportunity to choose a question. No matter what question he gave, it would be considered a question drawn from the netizens' submissions.
This news cheered up Xu Yin, but he was also a little confused. He was not sure whether to direct this question at Shao Qing or Zheng Xingxing.
After thinking hard for a minute, Xu Yin decided to target Shao Qing.
The system that had helped him before had disappeared for several days for some unknown reason. If he didn't find a way to stabilize his luck, all his previous efforts might be wasted.
-
On the sixth day of filming, Shao Qing had completely settled into a vacation lifestyle.
There are still surplus coconuts, so you can drink as many as you want. The fish catching rate of the homemade fishing rod makes the stubborn angler watching the live broadcast room jealous. In less than an hour's work, he can harvest several big fat fish.
The traps set in the woods were also working steadily, catching either pheasants or rabbits, and a daily meal of meat was essential.
On the fifth day, some people who had just come in to watch the live broadcast questioned whether the program team had given Shao Qing a backdoor, and that the killing of those pheasants and rabbits must have been arranged in advance and was deliberately delivered to the door.
Seeing the popularity of the event, the program crew responded to the call of netizens, placed infrared cameras near the three traps, and started a live broadcast of the entire process.
Afterwards, the black fans stayed up all night and waited until sunrise. After finding that the traps were still not stepped on by animals, they began to feel complacent and planned to severely slap Shao Qing in the face after the official live broadcast started, labeling her a fraud.
As a result, before Heizi could be happy for long, two pheasants stepped into the trap one after another, flapping their wings vigorously, as if they were slapping Heizi in the face from a distance.
"This is hilarious! Animals need to rest at night, too. They work from sunrise to sunset, and then find food at dawn. No problem at all." "Great! I can see something fun right after waking up. It's worth getting up so early on my day off!"
When Shao Qing went to collect the spoils, Jing Ke was very considerate and recounted what had happened before, treating it as a morning joke and successfully making Shao Qing smile.
The two pheasants trapped in the trap in the early morning were enough for Shao Qing to eat until the end of filming tomorrow, so while she was harvesting the spoils, she also dismantled the trap.
There was a question-and-answer session in the evening, and all six guests were already aware of this matter.
But when the director announced it through the loudspeaker, they all cooperated and showed surprised expressions, as if they had just found out.
"Director, why didn't you tell me in advance? I didn't even have time to greet my fans." Zheng Xingxing's reaction seemed particularly exaggerated. "If they draw twenty questions and none of them are about me, I'm going to be embarrassed."
But his fans just bought into it. After Zheng Xingxing finished speaking, his fans suddenly became active on the barrage. Each of them seemed to be showing their loyalty, saying how many posts they had submitted and started having conversations with Zheng Xingxing across the air.
The director announced the news during dinner, and thoughtfully left an hour for the guests to prepare.
Of course, the director was actually doing publicity and promotion, hoping that the number of online viewers would improve so as to get more investment for the next issue.
-
At seven o'clock in the evening, the six guests arrived at the place that the program team had set up long ago.
The six people sat facing each other at a long table, with the sponsor's huge logo as the background. There were also some sponsor items on the table for the guests to use at will.
Shao Qing was arranged to be the second on the right, with Yu Hongjun in front and Zheng Xingxing behind him.
Xu Yin was second from the left, behind Li Liming and in front of Liu Chang.
"Ahem, the audience in the live broadcast room are already waiting, so I won't waste any more time. Please look at the big screen. I'm going to capture the first netizen's submission now."
The director got himself a headset and played the role of a faceless question-and-answer host.
"3, 2, 1, stop! Now let's move on to the first question, which is for Teacher Yu." The director read out the question on the big screen. "Teacher Yu, what do you think of last year's remake of 'The World's Number One Swordsman'? What advice do you have for the actress playing the female swordsman?"
A thoughtful look crossed Yu Hongjun's brows as he heard this. After a moment, he slowly said, "The remake of 'The World's Number One Swordsman' has undergone some changes from the version I starred in. It places more emphasis on emotional expression and includes more explorations into human nature."
"I can't say I have any suggestions, but after watching it, I gained some new insights. Times are advancing, and many scenes that we couldn't visualize before can now be brought to the screen."
"Hahaha, let me translate. What Mr. Yu meant is: The remake of 'The World's Number One Swordsman' was terrible. A good martial arts drama has been turned into a melodramatic romance drama where you love me, I love him. The fighting scenes are rubbish, and the special effects are just praiseworthy."
"I'm dying of laughter! The netizen above is my mouthpiece. Teacher Yu really made me cry! She expressed it so tactfully." "I think the comments could be more direct, otherwise I'm worried some people might be clumsy and actually take Teacher Yu's words as a compliment."
The comments from netizens in the live broadcast room are not displayed on the big screen, so Jing Ke still needs to extract the core part and retell it.
While Shao Qing was listening to Jing Ke's serious retelling, he was distracted to look at the next question and tried hard to control his expression, and he became busy all of a sudden.
The first five questions had nothing to do with Shao Qing, until the sixth one was drawn, which was a question directed at her.
"I want to ask Shao Qing, why are you so keen on being tied up with male artists for hype? Are you willing to sacrifice your reputation just for the sake of popularity?" The director asked the question in a subtle tone and glanced obliquely at someone on the left.
"Shao Qing, it's not me. This isn't a problem with my preparation." Jing Ke subconsciously explained.
"Don't worry, I know." Shao Qing said, and when he found that the camera was facing him, he gave a polite smile.
"I want to clarify one thing. It's not that I'm keen on being tied up with male artists for hype, but that some people like to be tied up with me. I've posted relevant explanations and clarifications on social platforms many times, but the marketing accounts seem to have their own ideas and think that my clarifications and lawyers' letters are just a piece of waste paper."
Shao Qing said slowly, his tone very firm, "I have responded to this many times, and I didn't want to say more. But since some netizens are still curious about this question, I will explain it all."
"It's easy to figure out who's actively trying to hype things up. Just look at which party profits in the end."
Shao Qing paused as she spoke, a smile on her face containing a hint of disdain, making her facial features look even more aggressive.
"I won't name them all here, but if you look them up you'll find out. Who didn't have any endorsements before the hype with me, and who, after clarifying things, got new endorsements or was officially announced to play a new role."
Shao Qing: "By the way, I'm taking this opportunity to reiterate this once again. Next time, if someone arbitrarily ties me up, the lawyer's letter won't be sent to the marketing account, but directly to the person who paid for the marketing. Don't accuse me of being too ruthless then."
After Shao Qing finished speaking, not only did the scene become quiet, but the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room also suddenly became much less.
After a full ten seconds, the screen was flooded with comments. After hearing Shao Qing's powerful statement, his fans roared and vowed to continue banging their heads against the wall for him.
In addition, some of Shao Qing's die-hard fans also reacted strongly, calling her "sister, step on me," "sister, kill me," and "sister, deduct me," as if they didn't care about anyone on the Internet. They were just about to smear their pants on the faces of the black fans.
(Rushes out) (Kills the other puppies that are in the way) (Fights with the other puppies) (Come back with a bruised face) (Wags tail at Qingqing's wife) (Being hugged by Qingqing's wife) I declare that from today on, I am your little dog. When will you take me home? ']
['Woo woo woo, I knew that group of people were deliberately trying to take advantage of Qingqing's popularity. I've already explained it live this time. Look which stinky man still shamelessly tries to take advantage of me! I'll bite him to death!']
["So beautiful and cool, worthy of being my wife, I should be so tough, I will always support my wife! ! "How many peanuts did you eat before? Why are you so drunk and talking nonsense? If you don't have a wife, then go find one, don't steal my wife!"]
Jing Ke repeated part of the barrage content in a serious manner, trying hard to keep his tone free of strange emotions.
Shao Qing was a little unhappy at first. She didn't expect the program crew to arrange such a question specifically targeting her.
In this case, what is the difference between the program team and those male artists who use themselves for publicity?
The program crew also thinks that they are easy to bully, so they only pursue popularity and don’t care about their feelings at all.
However, after hearing Jing Ke repeat the fans' remarks in a serious manner, Shao Qing's unhappiness quickly disappeared.
-
"Ahem, let's draw the next question then." The director coughed lightly, wanting to get over the matter quickly.
The director hadn't expected Shao Qing to be so tough. After all, she had been on the decline for three years. If she were to stand against those relatively famous male stars at this time, she would probably be attacked by their fans.
"The next fan who wants to ask a question is also Teacher Shao. Let's see what she wants to ask." The director looked at the screen and read out this completely randomly selected submission.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Shao, for your support over the past three years. I've been admitted to my ideal university and am now preparing to begin military training. I have no way to contact you, so I can only express my gratitude in this way. Mr. Shao, thank you for changing my destiny. I also hope that you will not be affected by the opinions of irrelevant people, and continue to pursue your dreams and achieve your wishes as soon as possible."
The director paused after reading it, his mood suddenly becoming a little complicated. "Teacher Shao, this doesn't seem to be a question. Do you want to answer it?"
Not only the director, but also Shao Qing was stunned when he saw this on the screen. "I have received your gratitude. I hope you can start a new life in college."
"Jing Ke, were you the one who arranged the submission just now?" Shao Qing asked in his mind after the next question was drawn.
[I just had the program team randomly select that submission. The submitter is a student who was sponsored when you were 25. I just briefly learned about the submitter's information. She was admitted to the best university in the province and chose her favorite design major.]
"Thank you." Shao Qing said, a little absent-minded.
There are many people like her who don't have your contact information but still want to express their gratitude to you. They've tried leaving messages under your account, but they've all fallen on deaf ears and never made it to the top.
"I don't read comments and private messages very often. Reading too much will affect my mood." Shao Qing slowly calmed down his emotions.
Thinking that many people had returned to the classroom and been admitted to their dream universities with his help, Shao Qing instantly stopped caring about the question directed at him.
Just target them if you want. At most you will just get scolded a few more times by those black fans. As long as you don't listen or watch them, those remarks won't affect you.
[Would you like me to add an app to your phone? It will automatically filter out the comments from trolls and online scammers, and I'll bring the content you want to see to the front row. That way, the next time you open your phone, you'll see the messages from those people.]
[Of course, I can also batch process comments and private messages, sort out the useful ones for you, and then help you reply.]
"Thank you. Will this be troublesome?" Shao Qing was a little tempted.
[No need to bother. This is very simple for me now. After the shooting is finished, I will give you the installation package and you can install it directly on your phone.]
Jing Ke wasn't lying. As a product of a higher dimension, she did have some advantages. Writing a program to filter out anti-fans and online scams was about as easy for Jing Ke as doing addition and subtraction within 100.
After the fifteenth question was drawn, Shao Qing was asked again, but this question was quite standard. It just asked about Shao Qing's future plans and goals.
Shao Qing's answer was also very conventional. To sum it up, it was to improve himself in all aspects and to act in any suitable script or role he encountered.
The twenty questions and answers took about an hour and a half. After the live broadcast ended, the director said goodbye to the guests and let the photographer take a break.
However, the end of the live broadcast does not mean that the twenty questions asked will no longer be discussed on the Internet.
Among them, what attracted the most attention from netizens was Shao Qing's answer. Whether it was his tough statement on the first question or his confusing second comment, they all aroused the interest of netizens.
In an era where almost every village has internet access, it is still very easy to find something.
Less than half an hour after the live broadcast ended, Shao Qing's fans compiled a list of all the male artists who had been linked to Shao Qing for hype.
With a simple and rough timeline and a clearly organized table, netizens who came here to watch the event quickly discovered a fact.
That is, the male artists who are tied to Shao Qing are either those who have just debuted not long ago, or those who have debuted for several years but have not made any waves.
After about half a month of bundled hype, their personal data have shown visible improvement. Some of them have appeared on magazine covers, some have appeared on good variety shows, and some have received endorsements with good national popularity.
In contrast, Shao Qing did not get any benefits and was collectively slandered by the fans of those male artists.
After Shao Qing's fans presented evidence, fans of several other male artists also took action.
Although some of the more rational fans have unfollowed, there are still many fans who have been brainwashed and trained. The power of five or six fans banding together is still terrifying.
Less than half an hour after they came on stage, they pushed their fabricated clarification to the front of the relevant entries, making the netizens who were watching the show confused.
After discovering that those male artists had started to hire internet trolls to try to sway public opinion, Jing Ke became restless.
Seeing that Shao Qing was still taking a shower and that he could not contact her temporarily due to privacy reasons, Jing Ke took action on his own and directly created many virtual accounts and threw out all the evidence that he had previously stored.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to hire water army, he directly hacked into the mobile phones of those male artists and exposed their conversations with their agents.
After this commotion, the popularity suddenly took off.
However, what was pushed to the top of the hot search list was not the timeline that Jing Ke had painstakingly sorted out, nor was it the conversation between the male artist and his agent, but a strange hot search.
#The hacker boss turned out to be a die-hard fan of Shao Qing! #
[Oh my god, isn't this just a domineering boss falling in love with me? This is too awesome. Can you really hack into my phone and retrieve the records?]
[While this may seem illegal, it feels great to have some solid evidence! With this simple and clear evidence, I reject the riddlers in the domestic entertainment industry!]
After realizing that the course of events was somewhat different from what he had expected, Jing Ke looked at Shao Qing, who had already changed his clothes, with a slightly guilty look.
Should I tell Shao Qing the news? If she knows, will she feel that I am disrespecting her by acting on my own?
