Chapter 587: I’m Not a Salted Fish! The Counterattack Begins!
"Ah, you’re that popular female streamer everyone’s been talking about lately? So you’re the younger sister of our dear Zuzi, right? Is it Salted Fish?"Ma Xiaogang warmly greeted her.
Being an internationally renowned director, speaking so kindly to a junior was already a special treatment, given due to Xi Rubao’s connection.
Who would have thought, Xi Rubao pouted, "I’m not Salted Fish, I’m Grass Carp, Grass Carp."
She was not happy at all.
That damn Shark Live, they mixed up her name to Salted Fish, tarnishing her reputation.
Ma Xiaogang awkwardly chuckled, "Ah, sorry, it’s Grass Carp, must’ve been a typo in the news. Little Grass Carp, you’re here to help us with the live broadcast of the premiere? That’s a very novel and challenging idea."
The traditional way of holding a drama premiere was either booking a cinema or live streaming on television.
Never before had it been tried to showcase in an internet celebrity’s live streaming room as suggested by Zuzi.
Though Ma Xiaogang was famous, he wasn’t an old-fashioned person. He quite liked Zuzi’s suggestion after thinking it over for a bit.
He quickly gathered the crew and cast and introduced Xi Rubao to everyone, "For the premiere, follow the arrangements of our Salted Fish... ahem, no, Grass Carp streamer. She has millions of followers, so show off your best!"
"Hello, Great Grass Carp!"
"Please guide us, Great Grass Carp!"
"Little Grass Carp, give Second Brother some extra camera time!"
"Boss Baby, don’t ask me too many questions, I might get too nervous to answer!"
Even Xi Langyue and Wu Qianman joined in, winking at her playfully.
"Don’t worry, we are all on the same team," Xi Rubao smirked slyly.
Then, as soon as the live broadcast began, the first sharp question was directed at the male and female leads: "Xi Langyue, Wu Qianman, I heard this is your first collaboration. What’s your feeling about the scene where Emperor Fu Xi forcefully kisses Nuwa? How many takes did the director make you do? Could you give our fans a live demonstration of the correct kissing technique?"
[Bullet comments] Ahhhh.
The live stream erupted with screams.
Xi Rubao chuckled to herself: with our own people, you’ve got to mess with them hard.
[Bullet Comments] Grass Carp’s questions are too killer. Watching this couple fumbling and blushing is immensely entertaining.
Ahhhh they kissed, they kissed! Is it not a camera trick?
Even if it’s a trick, I’m fine with it. Kiss more, more kisses, it gives me energy to study!
The premiere started off on a good note.
Up next, the live stream was full of laughter, and Ma Xiaogang unusually released several secret bloopers.
No one expected that the drama, which just started filming this summer and only had the script written up to episode seven, was already so well-shot, with high-quality production and characters with such chemistry.
Fans continuously poured into the live stream room.
Xi Rubao took advantage of the large audience to share her consumer philosophy: "I’m not here to sell anything, I can share with you all the food and stuff I use, but I absolutely don’t want to lure anyone into spending, and I don’t wish for you to easily over-spend in any live stream room either."
[Username: "I’m a high school junior who doesn’t work hard, just regretful in senior year"]: But, Great Grass Carp, sometimes when I hear about discounts, it’s hard for me to control myself.
Xi Rubao: "I have a solution! From now on, before buying anything, place your hand on your heart and ask yourself, can I use this for ten years, like it for over ten years? If it’s not a yes or hasn’t made you feel thrilled enough to use it for ten years, you mostly don’t need to buy it."
