The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 29: This is a down-to-earth illiterate man

8 PM.

The lights were still on in the conference room of Yixin Entertainment.

"Bai Yu, continue to sign the contract for 'Who's the Murderer'. If the production team can negotiate for the next season, then we'll discuss it together."

"Zhou Yutong's marketing efforts will be temporarily suspended. Since the results are not good, she must rely on her work to salvage her reputation. The scripts she will be selected for will need to be carefully reviewed."

"As for Wang Anyu, we won't accept any dramas that might involve a fight over billing order, even if the other party is a top female star."

"Zhu Yiwen and Zhao Youting, see if you have any scripts for serious dramas..."

Yang Tianzhen made decisions one by one.

But I was just about to have a drink of water and rest for a while.

My phone popped up a notification for a live stream.

[Shen Jian is currently live streaming...]

"..."

Yang Tianzhen's lips twitched.

It doesn't feel like a good omen.

Although as the CEO of Yixin Entertainment, there's really no need for me to manage a newcomer's livestream content.

But what if we don't see what this thing is doing?

She felt she wouldn't be able to sleep at all tonight.

"Xiaoyou, did that guy do a live stream?"

"Uh...it seems so."

Lin Youyou responded softly.

Now, whenever Yang Tianzhen says the words "that guy," there's basically no one else but Shen Jian.

"Cast the screen, let's see what this kid is up to."

"???"

"???"

The people in the conference room looked puzzled.

I never expected that Yang Tian would interrupt her meeting just to watch a live stream by a newcomer signed with B-level resources.

However, no one present dared to say anything.

At Yixin Entertainment, Yang Tianzhen is the only partner with decision-making power.

The big screen quickly started showing someone's live stream.

And at this moment,

Shen Jian was eating with gusto in a place called Dongguashan Old Community.

[Wow, you actually knew about this place! 666.]

[Yes, I definitely did a lot of research.]

[Ah, family members, does anyone know? I used to go there every night when I was back in my hometown, but now I work in another city and haven't been back for five years. I miss it so much!]

[Okay, Shen Jian, you'd better eat well tonight! I've paid for your late-night snack!]

[A sports car from XXX]

[From CCC's Douyin account #1]

At this moment, gifts filled the screen of the live stream.

Shen Jian was not pretentious at all.

He clenched his fist and pounded his chest, pointing towards the live stream:

"Brother, I understand you! Since you're like this, I have to support you. Next, I'll eat, and you watch."

"Boss, vinegar-fried eggs, salted fish, Tangrenshen sausage, and a plate of enamel rice cakes and stinky tofu, please."

[Holy crap...you really understand people from Shashi! I'm so happy!]

[A true connoisseur! 666!]

[I'm a local, and I'm so happy! This place has been around for years, it's a small, unassuming eatery, but it's very famous. Each plate costs 15 yuan, it tastes just like mom's cooking!]

[Suddenly, he seems so down-to-earth! I thought he was going to one of those big, fancy stores.]

[The way he slurped the noodles just now was so relatable!]

I really want to eat it too! I support you today!

[Down-to-earth persona +1]

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."

Everyone: "???"

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the live stream.

At this moment, the number of viewers watching Shen Jian's live stream is once again approaching 10+.

To say something that might be laughed at by outsiders...

When some idol dramas do promotional live streams on Douyin, they may not even get 100,000 viewers.

That was during a live broadcast where the male and female leads were connected together.

Shen Jian's act of showing off eight pieces of stinky tofu alone can evoke strong empathy from the audience.

Where the hell can I go to seek justice?

If I had known this would work, I would have just had the actors eat rice noodles and stinky tofu during the next Douyin promotion for my new drama.

Yang Tianzhen's expression was complicated as she suddenly recalled the previous group chat.

So it turns out you really misunderstood, didn't you?

Liangmu made him more grounded, which meant he should be more docile.

As it turned out, he really did become down-to-earth.

"Xiao You, this is a record of the fan profile. A down-to-earth newcomer in the entertainment industry seems like a good direction for image building."

"Okay, Mr. Yang."

Studio.

Shen Jian had already shown off six dishes.

The level of his down-to-earth persona continues to improve.

He wiped his mouth and took another big gulp of bubble tea.

"Family members, did you enjoy it?"

[Awesome, this food was so delicious!]

[It's clear he respects his viewers; he genuinely eats what they offer!]

[It would be great if we had braised duck.]

[They also have fried skewers and pig's trotters! We're going to Orange Isle!]

Shen Jian: "Alright, I have to satisfy you today. Shanghuazi, let's move on to the next one!"

[Down-to-earth +1]

[A carnival from XXX!]

[From MLXG's Douyin account #1]

Shen Jian: "Spring grass before Yueyang Tower, boats sailing at night on Orange Isle! Very well! Let's go!"

[Holy crap!!!]

[Poetry? Was he just reciting poetry?!]

[Shocking! A former illiterate man can now recite poetry!]

[It really is about our Shashi!]

[Wow! That's some serious respect from you!]

[Shen Jian! Remember your current attitude, and keep it up! Don't be like those celebrities who abandon their humble beginnings after becoming famous. Don't forget your original aspirations!]

[Brother, don't recite poetry, it's too sexy, I can't handle it...]

o(╥﹏╥)o]

[Down-to-earth +1]

...

"Haha, did you see it? Isn't it hilarious!"

The hotel room.

A hearty laugh came from Ma Sichun.

At this moment, she was video chatting with someone while watching Shen Jian's live stream on her tablet.

On the table, there was a plate of salad and shrimp fried rice, which she ate all of.

"My goodness, Li Yi, I actually ate all my food today!"

On the other end of the video,

A beautiful classical woman with a gentle smile.

It is none other than the popular actress Li Yi, who played the "chicken leg girl" in the hit drama "Joy of Life".

The two became good friends after filming "Divas Hit the Road".

"A good appetite means a good mood, Chun Chun. Seeing you happy makes me happy too."

Ma Sichun looked touched: "Thank you so much! Oh, I miss you all so much. I wonder when we can get together again."

Li Yi: "If there's a chance, I'll be filming in Hengdian or Beijing. I have a role there next year."

Ma Sichun smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you. By the way, what do you think of my new little brother? He's a new talent signed by Sister Yang."

Li Yi: "It's quite funny, and it goes well with rice."

Ma Sichun: "Haha, right, right? How about I introduce you two? He's super funny. If he becomes famous someday, you two might even be able to collaborate."

"You're thinking far ahead. There's a chance, isn't there?"

"Okay, that's settled for today."

Maschin disconnected the connection.

Just then, Sister Zhou walked in from behind, carrying fruit.

He then looked surprised.

"You ate everything? You have a good appetite today."

Ma Sichun nodded: "Yeah, it's alright. The main thing is that this kid can eat a lot. Watching him eat makes me eat too."

Sister Zhou looked in that direction, and then her face darkened.

The effects of the three cups of coffee seem to still be present; my heartbeat is erratic.

Sister Zhou clutched her chest.

He glanced at the live stream room through gritted teeth.

Shen Jian was on a bustling street when he picked up a bag of roasted chestnuts.

"Family members, I suspect someone dropped it. What do you mean?"

[Give it to your uncle.]

[Eat it, it's free.]

[This is pointless for your uncle, throw it away.]

[Return lost property! Understand?]

Shen Jian peeled one open and put it directly into his mouth:

"You're right, we should keep what we've found. But I've weighed it, and it definitely doesn't weigh ten pounds. Since it doesn't weigh ten pounds, then we can keep it."

Hey, honey flavor, delicious!

[One more hilarious joke]

[Down-to-earth +1]

[Public speaking performance +1]

Bullet comments:

[Damn... I'm impressed!]

[Pfft, hahaha, awesome!]

[Amazing! Ten pounds of pure gold!]

[They even took a bag of chestnuts; ruthless.]

Sister Zhou: "..."
