Chapter 044

They acted immediately. The old house did not have the equipment for live broadcasting, but housekeeper Yu was a professional. He quickly contacted Wu Liao and asked Wu Liao to send a set of professional equipment over.

An hour later, Wu Liao arrived at the old house.

Zhou Qingyu also finished putting on makeup. After all, she had to be on camera, and female stars still have their idol baggage.

Facing the live camera, Zhou Qingyu felt nervous.

This is her first time to actively broadcast live.

Live broadcasts like those on the "Travel" variety show are all work, and Zhou Qingyu can't see the barrage, so she doesn't care about it.

However, live broadcasts at home are mostly recorded with a camera and connected to the live broadcast interface of a mobile phone. To facilitate the interaction between the host and fans, the host will also see the content of the barrage.

Zhou Qingyu was a little afraid to see the bullet screen.

When she first debuted, Zhou Qingyu was often praised by netizens, saying that she was a beautiful female star and the top 1 in the entertainment industry in terms of looks. Zhou Qingyu liked to read the comments and loved to see netizens praising her.

Later, her reputation changed. When she went online again, the comments that once praised her for her good looks disappeared, and were replaced by a barrage of insults.

It was also from that time that Zhou Qingyu stopped going online and stopped actively broadcasting live.

If you don’t see the negative reviews, you can pretend those comments don’t exist, but if you really see them, Zhou Qingyu can’t guarantee that she can still keep a balanced mentality.

——Even if you know that you don’t make a living from traffic, no one wants to be scolded.

Now, facing the live broadcast equipment, Zhou Qingyu couldn't help but think of the past when she was hacked.

"Miss, are you ready?" Wu Liao asked.

Zhou Qingyu rubbed her hands secretly and took a deep breath, "Let's get started!"

Xingyao had already done the preheating, and as soon as the live broadcast started, netizens swarmed in.

Zhou Qingyu pretended not to care, but her eyes still glanced at the bullet screen——

[Ahhh! The young lady is live streaming! The young lady is so beautiful! ]

[Nuwa's masterpiece~ Every day when I see Miss's face, my mood becomes better~]

[Is the eldest lady going to give fans benefits again? The eldest lady is so nice! 】

Unexpectedly, there was no curse against Zhou Qingyu on the Internet. Zhou Qingyu blinked and looked at the phone screen curiously.

In addition to the comments praising her beauty, there were also many messages from Shen Xinghe's fans in the live broadcast room -

[Shen Xinghe fans check in! The young lady looks really good today~]

【Thank you Miss for letting us see Shen Xinghe! 】

[The eldest lady is beautiful and kind-hearted. Things will definitely get better and better in the future! ]

[Miss! "The Bottom Line" is great! Please don't change the script! Looking forward to it! ]

Zhou Qingyu suddenly felt a sore nose and moist eyes.

"Gently?"

Yan Xi noticed Zhou Qingyu's abnormality, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay!" Zhou Qingyu rubbed her nose, worried that her makeup would be smudged. Her movements were very small. "It's just that I suddenly feel very happy! Aren't we going to do an event to give back to our fans? Let's get started!"

Yan Xi nodded and asked Wu Liao to open the PPT that he had just made and display it on the live broadcast interface.

"Good morning, babies! Just like in Country F! Whispering is planning to hold another event! To get rid of the second-hand luxury goods in the warehouse~" Yan Xi showed the warehouse behind her, "Ting ting ting ting! That's it!"

"But it's different from last time. Last time it was a prize draw based on comments, but this time it's a charity sale!"

[Charity sale? Then it’s not free…]

[Sure enough, the luck last time

, this time it won’t happen again! 】

【Want to know how much the charity sale will cost? It’s fine if the price is reasonable! 】

Yan Xi looked at the bullet screen on the live broadcast and waved her hands, "Don't worry, babies! Although it's a charity sale, it's also a way to give back to fans. You won't have to spend extra money!"

"We will post a link, and everyone can take pictures of the products they like. The starting price is 49 yuan. We will donate all the money we make to the Red Cross!"

【! ! !】

[These luxury goods are all 49 yuan? What’s the difference between that and giving it away! 】

[Just now I heard about the charity sale, and I thought it was going to be an auction, but it turns out it’s only 49! She’s still the generous lady I know! ]

[I think it’s good to have a threshold. Before, anyone could win the lottery, which lowered my chances of winning! Now that there is a threshold, I will definitely be able to win! ]

[The person above is naive. Do you think that you can get a chance to participate in the charity sale for 49 yuan? I have already asked all my relatives to come out! ]

[Foul! No, I have to ask my friends for help! I must buy it! ]

The base price of $49 is nothing to most people.

Yan Xi deliberately set this rule because after the previous lottery, she was afraid that if there was another lottery, some black fans would take advantage of the situation.

Before, Zhou Qingyu had no fans, only black fans and passers-by. Now that she has fans, this kind of good thing should be reserved for the fans.

The threshold of 49 yuan is not too high, just enough to isolate the black fans who maliciously place fake orders. The money earned can also be used for charity, killing two birds with one stone!

Netizens have no objection to this. What's there to be dissatisfied about a second-hand luxury product that can be bought for 49 yuan? Moreover, many of Zhou Qingyu's things did not even have the labels removed!

Netizens are rubbing their hands and are obviously impatient.

When Zhou's father came back from fishing, he passed by a warehouse where old items were stored and saw the event organized by Yan Xi and her friends.

He called out to Butler Yu, "What's this for?"

Butler Yu respectfully repeated the details of Yan Xi's activities.

Father Zhou praised, "This is a good activity, very meaningful. You guys can't handle it, right?"

Butler Yu: "Isn't it? Look, sir, even the eldest daughter helped take photos and connect the link. She used to be a nobody!"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Go and organize the other people in the family to see if anyone is willing to help. Those who come will be given three months' salary as a bonus."

Butler Yu's eyes lit up, "Master! If you say so, I will be the first to join!"

The three-month bonus was very tempting, and the servants of the old house came to help. What might have taken a whole day to complete was completed much faster with everyone working together.

The speed of netizens was even faster, and the link was photographed almost at the same time as it was uploaded. Fortunately, Yan Xi set a rule in advance that one ID could only photograph one link, so most fans had a chance.

More and more people flocked to Zhou Qingyu's live broadcast room. Without any publicity, the term #周轻语义峣# became a hot search.

Many uninformed netizens clicked on the entry and saw Zhou Qingyu’s live broadcast room at a glance.

[Zhou Qingyu is giving back to fans again? Zhou fans are eating so well! 】

[It’s so cool to be a fan of a beautiful rich woman! 】

[Yes! If you want to give back to your fans, give back to your fans. If you want to invest in a small unknown star, invest in a small unknown star! ]

[Sister is good in everything except her acting skills! 】

[You are so beautiful and rich, what else do you need acting skills for! 】

——

While Zhou Qingyu's charity sale entry was on the hot search list, Ye Luoyi's hot search also appeared on the Weibo list.

Today is the time when N advertisements shot by Ye Luoyi are released.

Because of Qin Li's incident two days ago, Ye Luoyi had to go back to the studio to reshoot this commercial. Fortunately, the shoot went smoothly and it was released on time today.

Ye Luoyi is looking forward to it very much. This is her first appearance after the variety show "Travel". She must give her best to reverse all the negative effects of the variety show!

This time, not only N companies bought hot searches, but Ye Luoyi also bought hot searches. Just wait for the ad to go online and netizens to praise her beauty!

At 12 o'clock, the ad went live on time, and Ye Luoyi couldn't wait to open the Weibo hot search list. What came into view were all familiar names -

#Zhou Qingyu Charity Sale#

#Zhou Qingyu gives back to fans#

#Zhou Qingyu's fans must be eating too well! #

Ye Luoyi: ???

Ye Luoyi felt dizzy and rubbed his eyes.

Why are they all Zhou Qingyu?

Where are the trending searches she bought?

Among the many hot searches about Zhou Qingyu, Ye Luoyi finally saw the entry that she and Njia bought. She clicked on it and commented on the first entry in real time: [Even an advertisement is on the hot search? Did Ye Luoyi buy this hot search? ]

Ye Luoyi was so angry that she almost fainted!

Fortunately, in addition to this comment, there are many other small-leaf-controlled comments in the entry, and their comments are very good.

But compared to the voices outside that were all praising Zhou Qingyu, Ye Luoyi couldn't feel happy anymore.

Why hold a charity sale at this time instead of earlier?

Is Zhou Qingyu deliberately going against her?

Pei Yubai was beside Ye Luoyi, and obviously did not expect this situation to happen today.

Ever since Ye Luoyi appeared on the "Travel" variety show, Pei Yubai felt that nothing he did was going well for some reason.

Especially since he was cheated out of 10 million yuan by Yan Xi before, Pei Yubai felt very unhappy every time he thought about it. He originally wanted to use the 10 million yuan to invest in a very promising online drama, but now he has lost the opportunity.

Fortunately, things will work out for the time being. After being in a tight spot for a few days, Pei Yubai suddenly received news that Zhou Yanci agreed to invest in "Crazy Xia Dong"!

This means that the role he had originally wanted to give to Ye Luoyi has been found!

"Yiyi, these are just small matters," Pei Yubai comforted Ye Luoyi, "Do you still remember the role of the music girl in "Crazy Xia Dong"? It will be yours soon!"

Ye Luoyi was startled, and a rare smile appeared on her face, "Really?"

"Crazy Summer and Winter" is a film that is highly regarded by the industry. It not only has high commercial value, but also artistic value. It is estimated that after it is broadcast, it will have a lot of box office and awards.

Although Ye Luoyi is a popular female star, she has no awards to her name, and her real ability is far behind. If possible, Ye Luoyi is still willing to play some second or third female roles in movies.

Jiang Tao's "Bottom Line" is too low-grade for her, but the movie "Crazy Summer and Winter" is high-grade enough!

Ye Luoyi shyly pulled Pei Yubai's tie, "Yubai, there won't be any problems with this project, right? I've been so unlucky lately, nothing I do has gone well, I don't want this project to have any problems either!"

Zhou Qingyu is also an actress, and Ye Luoyi is afraid that she will snatch the role of the musical girl and play it herself.

Pei Yubai caressed Ye Luoyi's cheek lovingly, "Don't worry, there won't be any accidents this time."

How many resources did Zhou Qingyu give him in the past? Pei Yubai himself couldn't count them all. He firmly believed that with Zhou Qingyu's feelings for him, as long as he opened his mouth, Zhou Qingyu would definitely give him the resources with both hands!

——

On the other side, Zhou's old house

Yan Xi didn't know yet that Pei Yubai was thinking about Zhou Qingyu again.

After the charity sale, I bought more than 800 second-hand luxury items and made a profit of about 50,000 yuan.

The amount of money is not much, but when it comes to charity, it’s the thought that matters.

When Zhou's father heard the number, he waved his hand and said, "Not bad, but since you want to donate, round it up to 5 million!"

Yan Xi: ???

This is the first time I see someone rounding things up, and it’s actually this way of rounding things up?

The Zhou Group has a special charity fund, and this money will eventually be given to those in need, so Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu don’t need to worry about this.

Compared to these, Yan Xi was more concerned about how much her luck value had increased.

A special charity sale, the core is luck value!

The system quickly calculated and gave the result: [Ding! Zhou Qingyu's popularity and reputation increased, and she gained 0.5 points of luck. The current luck value is 28.5]

"Only 0.5 points?" Yan Xi was a little disappointed.

[Host, you are exaggerating. In the past, except for actions like changing the plot, the luck points you gained were very little. 0.5 is considered a lot! ]

[Also, the reputation of the eldest lady has improved a lot in variety shows. Now it is just icing on the cake, so naturally the value is not high! ]

Yan Xi also knew that her appetite had been spoiled. After all, Qin Li still got 5 points of luck when his house collapsed, which was more than ten times higher than this one!

I still need 1.5 luck points to reach 30 points... But there's still time!

——

In the afternoon, Yan Xi went to Zhou Group.

Originally, she was supposed to go to the crew to supervise. But Fang Yue contacted Yan Xi temporarily and said that Zhou Yanci had passed the review of "Crazy Xia Dong".

This is a pleasant surprise.

Because it was approved by the group, the contract was arranged to be signed at Zhou Group. When Yan Xi arrived, Special Assistant Sun, Producer Xu of "Crazy Summer and Winter", Fang Yue and others were also there.

Fang Yue excitedly hugged Yan Xi's shoulders and said, "You're really good! You can actually convince Mr. Zhou!"

Members of the project department will receive commissions if they invest in the right projects. Now the reviewer of the project proposals has changed from Fang Yue to Yan Xi, but Fang Yue is the director of the project department. As long as the project makes money, she will still get money.

Moreover, Fang Yue is very optimistic about "Crazy". She thinks that with this movie, Xingyao may be able to get rid of its deficit fate by the end of the year, so that her year-end bonus can double again!

When Fang Yue and Producer Xu finished signing the contract, Yan Xi received another system reminder: [Ding! Invest in the future blockbuster project "Crazy Summer and Winter", Zhou Qingyu gains 1 luck point, current luck point is 29.5]

Yan Xi:!!!

This is so exciting!

Yan Xi was so excited that she cried out.

The one who agreed to invest was Zhou Yanci, and the one who gave the money was also Zhou Yanci. As expected, Zhou Yanci was a lucky guy. Apart from the plot, he was the person who could help Zhou Qingyu the most!

Yan Xi suddenly felt that the image of Zhou Yanci in her mind had become tall and majestic, and even the shabby smell on him could be ignored!

Zhou Yanci led his men to inspect the company. When they passed by the contract signing meeting room, they happened to see Yan Xi, who was extremely excited in the meeting room.

The little girl hugged Fang Yue excitedly, her tail was about to flutter with joy.

The corners of Zhou Yanci's mouth curled up slightly.

——

After completing the contract, Yan Xi followed Producer Xu to attend the internal meeting of "Crazy".

She is the project judge. After the two parties reach a cooperation agreement, she will coordinate related matters. However, Xingyao is only a co-investor. "Crazy" has its own producer and a complete team. It is said to be a coordination, but in fact there is nothing important.

At most, when Xingyao wants to force someone in, Yan Xi is needed to help negotiate.

This movie has not started shooting yet, but actors are being recruited. The male and female protagonists have been confirmed, but many roles are still to be determined.

Yan Xi was flipping through the script and soon noticed a character - the third female character, a musical genius who was good at cello and was portrayed as a proud and arrogant young lady.

Yan Xi Remembers This Character was very popular, and the actress who played this character in the novel became famous because of it. Later, it was revealed that she had found a surrogate mother abroad. She apologized and then quit the entertainment industry.

When the actress' surrogacy was exposed, Crazy had only been online for two months. Her scandal had an impact on the film, resulting in Crazy missing out on major film awards.

Yan Xi carefully read the introduction of the third female role, and the more she read, the more she felt that... Zhou Qingyu could play the role!

The biggest difficulty of this role is that you need to be able to play the cello. Since many scenes are performed by the third female lead, it would be better to find someone who can really play the cello. The actress in the novel was chosen because she plays the cello well.

Zhou Qingyu is also very good at playing the cello.

When she was in high school, she was able to perform on the same stage with internationally renowned musicians. Later, she was admitted to Bernardus University, which is famous for its music. If it weren't for the damn plot's compulsion, Zhou Qingyu might have been a musician now.

Yan Xi flipped through the schedule made by the executive producer. The role of the third female character would take about seven days to shoot. If it starts filming soon, she could probably come back to shoot after the next episode of the "Travel" variety show ends.

Yan Xi took a picture of the third girl's profile and sent it to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao has a good eye for casting. Let him see if this role is suitable for Zhou Qingyu. It's just right.

It was Jiang Tao's break. He carefully read the information sent by Yan Xi, and then called Yan Xi back.

"This role is good. The personality is quite similar to that of the young lady. I watched two plays and the performance is not difficult. If the young lady can play the cello, this role is very suitable!"

The adaptation of the role can largely reduce the problem of insufficient acting skills. Although Zhou Qingyu's acting skills are average, it is not difficult for her to play a role that is not too different from herself. In addition, her looks and cello skills can add points!

The system was also jumping up and down with excitement: [Host! If you can take down this character, you will get at least 1 point of luck! ]

[So if we can get 30 points of luck, we have hope! ]

Yan Xi's brows relaxed, and she felt a little excited in her heart.

She has now accumulated a luck value of 29.5 points. If she helps Zhou Qingyu get this role, Master Pei’s birthday banquet will be a sure thing!

——

In the evening, Yan Xi returned to the old house and couldn't wait to tell Zhou Qingyu about it.

When he got home, he found the old house empty. Zhou's father had gone out for a walk after dinner, leaving only the housekeeper and a few servants tending to the flowers and plants in the old house.

"Is Qingqing not at home?" Yan Xi asked Butler Yu.

Butler Yu stroked his chin and thought, "The young lady went out in the evening. She looked quite happy. Oh, it was Second Master Pei who took her away."

"Second Master Pei..."

Yan Xi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Many media outlets knew that Producer Xu came to Zhou Group to sign a contract today, so it was no surprise that Tianhui knew about it.

Yan Xi just didn't expect Pei Yubai to act so quickly. She had just completed the contract signing, and the next thing she knew, he asked Zhou Qingyu out to ask for resources.

Moreover, Fang Yue and Yan Xi mentioned that the role Pei Yubai wanted was the third female role in "Crazy".

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Qingyu ended her date and returned to the old house happily.

She was humming a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood.

Brother Yubai was very considerate today. He ordered her favorite Kaiseki cuisine and was very gentle throughout the whole process, asking her about her well-being. Zhou Qingyu felt as sweet as if she was immersed in honey.

On the way home, Pei Yubai did not see her off, but Zhou Qingyu was still very excited. She imagined their future together, including what to name their child.

As soon as she got home, Zhou Qingyu saw Yan Xi squatting pitifully on the armchair, her fingers clasped on the rosewood armrests.

Zhou Qingyu sat next to Yan Xi and rubbed her head with her hand. "Why do you look like you lost your parents? Were you bullied at work?"

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Qingyu with an eager face.

"No one in the company dares to bully me, it's just..."

Yan Xi took out Zhou Qingyu's cello from behind, which had been in the warehouse and had not been touched for a long time. "When I saw this thing at the charity sale today, I suddenly remembered that you haven't played the cello for a long time, right?"

Zhou Qingyu's expression paused visibly. She reached out and touched the cello, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

"I've been too busy lately."

She was busy pursuing Pei Yubai in the entertainment industry and competing with Zhou Yanci for the family property, so she had no time to practice the piano.

Zhou Qingyu exerted force on her wrists, took the cello from Yan Xi with both hands, and placed it at her feet. "Why, do you want to hear me play?"

Yan Xi nodded like a madman, "I really want to!"

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "It's not that difficult. Although I haven't played it for a while, I still remember the score. I'll show you a piece!"

As she spoke, she picked up the bow.

"But I think," Yan Xi suddenly interrupted Zhou Qingyu, her eyes rolled around, her gaze flickering, "I want to hear you play in a big theater, that would have a feel..."

Zhou Qingyu: “……?”

"You're so picky!" Zhou Qingyu complained, "The theater in the south of the city is ours, how about I go there and play for you tomorrow?"

The Zhou family has plenty of theaters and other things!

Yan Xi felt a pain in her teeth, but she gritted her teeth and continued to fool around, "But... I want to see it in front of the audience, that way it will have a better atmosphere..."

Zhou Qingyu: ???

Zhou Qingyu looked at Yan Xi and tapped her head with the bow. "Tell me the truth, do you want to hear me perform the cello, or are you kidding me? Are there audiences? Then we have to hold a concert!"

Yan Xi lowered her head and whispered, "The cellist in the movie has both the audience and the theater..."

Zhou Qingyu didn't quite hear it. "Movie? What does this have to do with my cello performance? What do you want to say?"

“That’s…that’s…”

Yan Xi hesitated for a while, and finally raised her head with a determined look, "I met Su Lingling today, and she mocked us, saying that we are now in the entertainment industry, but we are just half-baked, just like you when you first learned the cello, it's only a three-minute enthusiasm!"

"I got anxious, so I argued with her, saying that you haven't given up the cello, and you're going to play a musical girl in Crazy, and that role requires you to be able to play the cello..."

Yan Xi's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and she looked at Zhou Qingyu pitifully.

Zhou Qingyu finally figured out what he meant. "So, you want me to play the third female role in Crazy to prove that I haven't given up the cello?"

Yan Xi immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Zhou Qingyu hesitated for a moment, "But, I gave this role to Brother Yubai."

"ah!"

Yan Xi pretended to be surprised, her bright eyes full of disbelief.

Gradually, the light in her eyes faded, leaving only loss.

Yan Xi whispered, "Okay, I'll go tell Su Lingling that you've given up the cello. It's okay. I just made a small bet with her. If I lose, I'll carry her bag for a month and be her follower for a month... It's nothing..."

Zhou Qingyu originally wanted to go back to her room, but she suddenly stopped when she heard this.

She grabbed Yan Xi's wrist, "Su Lingling actually wants you to be her follower? She's dreaming!"
