Chapter 3: Eat keyboard upside down (Part 1)

January 25, 2023Ai Hrist

In the middle of the mountain in Yuncheng, the crew team of “Spiritual Affairs” were adjusting the recording equipment to prepare for the upcoming live broadcast.

The assistant in charge of carrying the sundries heard the director’s roar not far away, lowered his voice, and asked the people next to him: “Did Director Li eat gunpowder today? I accidentally tripped over the wire just now, and was scolded to death!”

The companion said: “Hey, it’s all because someone was pushed in by Producer Lin halfway. Director Li has been angry for several days. Who made you unlucky and hit the gun!”

The format of the program “Spiritual Affairs” was very special. It adopts the form of real-time feedback while recording and broadcasting. It records an episode every eight days. The time in between was not only for the players to rest and adjust themselves but also for the program team to edit.

In the first episode of the program, the program team selected ten official contestants from the hundreds of strange people who participated in the audition.

Unexpectedly, just after the recording, one person had an accident and had to withdraw from the competition.

Director Li originally planned to pick one of the other people who were eliminated in the audition, but the producer added Gu Zhisang to make the show more popular.

Because of this, he has been angry for several days.

The assistant scratched his head and said, “As for that, Gu Zhisang is so beautiful, and her popularity is higher than that of ordinary second-tier stars. Wouldn’t it be great to make the show more popular?”

The companion said: “You are a newcomer, so you only know a fart. This girl has a big temper and likes to play big names. Little ones like us will suffer.”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the director in the studio: “What are the two doing standing there? Are you all sculptures?!”

After Li Chenghe yelled, the two staff members shrank their heads and dispersed, but he was even more irritable in his heart.

“Spiritual Affair” was his original selection, but he was not a big-shot director. He had no connections or money at the beginning, so he had no choice but to partner with Producer Lin Hang.

Lin Hang doesn’t believe in fortune-telling at all. For the sake of traffic popularity, he engaged in a lot of vulgar plots in the first two seasons. But the show was indeed popular, and it also attracted many sponsors and made a lot of money.

Li Chenghe was different, his original intention in making this program was to promote and prove Taoism.

In the past, he couldn’t become a Taoist Master because he had no money, but now that he has money, he wants to make a good film.

He spent half a year looking for strange people, supernatural events, and materials, and wanted to create a season of real spiritual affairs variety show!

Unexpectedly, when the new season just started, Lin Hang once again stuffed Gu Zhisang in for attention, and said nonchalantly:

“Oh, Old Li, you are too rigid. If there is no point to watch, which audience and sponsor will support your show?”

This attitude made Li Chenghe so angry that he couldn’t feel comfortable for several days, and even his sense of Gu Zhisang fell to the bottom.

The assistant director said: “Brother Li, there are still 20 minutes before the official start of the broadcast. The live broadcast rooms have already started, and the audience is streaming in.”

Li Chenghe went over to take a look, and ten live broadcast windows had popped up on the screens of the two main controllers. Because the cameras hadn’t been turned on yet, and the screen was still black.

Thanks to the many viewers accumulated in the first two seasons of “Spiritual Affairs”, as well as Gu Zhisang’s black fans, the number of people in each live broadcast room exceeded 10,000 within three minutes.

Especially in the live broadcast room with Gu Zhisang’s name, the number of people soared to six figures, and every few seconds there were hundreds of thousands more people. Above the dark live broadcast, the comments were buzzing.

[Brothers and sisters are all here? Take melon seeds and drinks with you. The time for the “Monkey Watching Civilization” program every eight days.]

[To scold Gu Zhisang live broadcast room without any reservation, I will introduce to everyone the first ‘Plague-type’ artist in the circle!]

[Ah… the comment area is so messy, why are you scolding this guest?]

[Every family has a grudge and revenge. as long as you hate Gu Zhisang, you don’t need to care which artist fans you belong to. We are all sisters today!]

[Her face was disfigured. The big beauty can’t be marketed any more. The program will suffer bad luck. Did the Plague God deliberately do this?]

[Anchor, come out and get scolded. Wasn’t she quite shameless before? My keyboard is ready.]

[… …]

After broadcasting for two seasons, the staff members also have a certain understanding of their program. Although many people were scolding, there were also many people who have fun watching the show.

However, in Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast room, where hundreds of thousands of people rushed in as soon as the broadcast started, it was the first time they saw it.

The assistant director was stunned for a moment, and asked: “Brother Li, should we control the comments? Set up filter words or something…”

Li Chenghe’s tone was cold: “No need.”

Didn’t they want to be popular? The manager called in person and said that they don’t need to take special care of their artist.

He wished that Gu Zhisang would watch the barrage more, and if she couldn’t stand it, she would quit.

“Okay.” The assistant director felt that this female artist was also very miserable. Anyone who looked down and saw the scolding on the screen would collapse: “There are still ten minutes until the show officially starts, do you want to call her again? “

Li Chenghe was unhappy: “She was late for the show on the first day, playing big shot!” ‘

“Who is responsible for contacting Gu Zhisang? Why hasn’t she arrived yet?”

The girl in charge said: “I called Miss Gu about half an hour ago. She said at the time that she had reached the foot of the mountain. I will call her again.”

She was stunned after taking out her mobile phone, “Miss Gu said that, she said that… …”

“Yes, Director?” A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind the crowd. When they turned their heads, they saw two girls in sportswear suits, hats, and masks standing not far from the studio.

The person in front was wearing a gray suit and looked about 1.7 meters tall. She only shows a pair of eyes. Her eyelashes were long but not deflated and slightly raised. Her pupils were clean and clear, and the skin at the end of the eyes was as white as snow;

Even if they didn’t see her face, everyone was sure that she was a beauty.

“You seem to be looking for me?” The beauty hooked off her mask to reveal her whole face, “I am Gu Zhisang, and this is my assistant Xiao Zhou.”

Xiao Zhou bowed nervously: “Hello Director!”

The girl in charge swallowed, and handed the phone to Li Chenghe, “Director Li, Miss Gu sent me a message 20 minutes ago, saying that she has arrived. I didn’t see it at that time, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Gu Zhisang replied: “I don’t blame her, I see that everyone is busy and there is still some time, so I didn’t bother you rashly.”

Li Chenghe looked at the smiling girl in front of him. His mood was very complicated, and his old face was burning red in shame. If he remembers correctly, these two girls have indeed stayed around for a long time, helping to move some small equipment.
