Today marks the first day of the official broadcast of "Let's Make Friends Season 2". To allow for better interaction between the guests and the live stream audience, the production team specifically allocated time in the evening for the seven guests to conduct individual live streams. The aim is to increase viewer and fan engagement with the show and also to give the newcomers a chance to showcase themselves.
At 8 p.m., seven live streaming devices were moved into the guest's room.
Zhu Jinzhao, dressed in a cream-colored loungewear set, sat down obediently in front of the live stream camera.
"Today, I want to come to your room to do a live stream. Your room has a great view, you can see the sea." Five minutes before the live stream was about to start, Shi Jing suddenly knocked on Zhu Jinzhao's door.
Zhu Jinzhao turned around and looked at him leaning against the door, smiled and said, "Okay."
"Thank you." Shi Jing snapped her fingers at her, then turned and went back to her room to direct the staff to move the equipment.
It was completely dark, and the temperature at the beach was gradually dropping. Shi Jing pushed open the glass door of the balcony and pointed the live broadcast camera at the bustling beach not far away.
He sat down facing the room, directly opposite Zhu Jinzhao's live stream position.
"Are you nervous about your first live stream?" he asked Zhu Jinzhao, sitting cross-legged.
Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "I'm quite nervous."
"What's there to be nervous about? Those netizens aren't going to eat you up just because there's a screen between you." Shi Jing said nonchalantly, even picking up his phone and fixing his hair in front of the screen.
Zhu Jinzhao fidgeted with her fingers and said, "My personality isn't very likable, and I'm a little afraid that netizens won't like it."
"Heh..." Shi Jing smiled slightly, "We're not some disgraced celebrity. We're upright and honest. Even if some netizens don't like your personality, that's their problem, not yours. If you see any bad comments when the show starts, just ignore them and don't take them to heart."
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips and responded in a muffled voice.
He put down his phone, tilted his head and looked over: "Don't worry, who said your personality isn't likable? I like your personality, you're so well-behaved and cute, like a lucky doll."
"Hmph..." Zhu Jinzhao was amused by him, and the worry in her eyes disappeared with the smile.
"The live stream is about to start, so give it your best." Seeing her smile, Shi Jing's eyes softened involuntarily.
Zhu Jinzhao hummed in agreement, took a deep breath, and mustered what little confidence she had left: "Okay!"
At 8:30 p.m., the program team simultaneously opened the live broadcast rooms of the seven guests.
Fans and netizens who had been waiting eagerly rushed to their favorite guests, making every live stream incredibly lively.
As a top female star, Su Ying's live stream was unsurprisingly the most popular among all the guests, with the chat section overflowing with compliments.
[Ahhhhh!! Sister! Sister is so beautiful!]
[Waaaaah, I finally see you! God knows how long I've been waiting for this moment!]
[Yingying is the most beautiful! Yingying is the most popular! Yingying outshines the entire Chinese entertainment industry!]
[It has to be Ying again; her popularity approached one million in less than a minute after the show started, making the other guests pale in comparison.]
[Hahahaha! The show started with the highest viewership, and the haters are so angry they can't sleep!]
Su Ying smiled gently, and even though there were so many comments on the screen that she couldn't see them clearly, she tried her best to pick out the replies that she could read.
Her fans were completely charmed, and the popularity of her live stream continued to climb.
Zhu Mingyue was live streaming in another room. Although her popularity was not even a fraction of Su Ying's, the barrage of comments on the screen made the live stream very lively.
[Sister Mingyue! You're so beautiful! I want to see you act!]
I heard you have excellent grades, so why didn't you continue your studies and instead chose to enter the entertainment industry?
【Welcome back to the capital, Sister Mingyue!】
[Mingyue, Mingyue, are you doing well back at the Zhu family? Your brothers must be very fond of you, right? Has that imposter Zhu Jinzhao fallen out of favor?]
Zhu Mingyue's fans are mostly fans of her looks and family background. Except for a few sharp comments, the rest of their bullet comments are quite easy to answer.
Zhu Mingyue maintained a polite smile, and her reply, though concise, was very pleasant to hear.
In another room, Ning Shi, Fang Lei, and Li Weiwan were sitting in the living room doing a live stream. The three of them sat side by side, their live stream screens very close together, but their styles were remarkably different.
Ning Shi's live stream was half filled with people shipping couples and half with people praising her beauty.
[Shi Bao is so beautiful! Her little bunny teeth are so cute!]
How can someone be this beautiful even without makeup? No wonder she's the only Chinese person to become a team leader in YK in the last decade!
[Ahhh! I want to watch "Ningjing's Summer," Shi Bao, hurry up and connect with the Crown Prince!]
Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree! "Ningjing's Summer" is practically a novel come to life!
[How terrifying! Young Master Shi has never denied that he is Shi Bao's husband! Think about it!]
Fang Lei's live stream is full of jokes.
[Lei Zi, stop laughing, you're making your cat wrinkles look like you're laughing.]
[Lei Zi is the noisiest student in the entire second room! He's definitely the worst student I've ever had!]
[He grinned wildly, showing his big teeth, "When are you going to get us a sister-in-law? I think Zhu Mingyue next door is pretty good."]
[Lei Zi, I want to see you play a sexy and alluring vixen.]
Li Weiwan's live stream was relatively quiet. This was because he is socially awkward, and his fans were worried that making too much noise would frighten the children.
[Don't be afraid, Brother Li. Just treat us like a brick.]
"Brother Li, you're so handsome! I want to have your baby."
"Brother Li, I fell down, I need to hold onto your eight-pack abs to get up..."
In Room 3, Shi Jing stared at the screen full of abstract comments, unable to find many serious ones to reply to.
【Young Master Shi, I've been your die-hard fan for ten years, could you buy me a car?】
[Shi Jing, is that Weibo account of yours that says "I want to poison stupid netizens through the internet"?]
"Young Master, do you need a guard dog? Do you think I'm suitable? I can be chained anywhere."
[Shi Jing, when are you getting married to Shi Bao? I'll give you two hundred!]
Shi Jing: "...Switch to human operators! Switch everyone to human operators!"
He was angrily confronting abstract netizens on this side, while Zhu Jinzhao was looking at the screen full of insults with a helpless expression.
While the other guests' live streams were filled with joy, Zhu Jinzhao's live stream was besieged by all sorts of insults and abuse.
[Hey, you little rascal, can't you speak without clipping that awful voice?]
【You're so ugly, fat and ugly, not even as good as Shi Bao's hair. How dare you seduce Young Master Shi?】
[The real heiress has already gone home, why aren't you leaving? What are you doing, shamelessly clinging to the Zhu family?]
[You idiot, go die.]
[My Yingying is known for her impeccable manners in the entertainment industry. You're the first person to successfully make her give you a cold shoulder in public. You're amazing...]
[Oh my, that's such a sweet talker, lots of men like that... ugh! Disgusting!]
Zhu Jinzhao was criticized for four and a half minutes after the live stream started, which had only been going on for five minutes.
Not knowing what to do, she could only grab the straps on her clothes, tie them in knots and then loosen them, then tie them in knots and then loosen them again.
