The cameras couldn't follow Ji Meina into her room, so they were set up in the dining area.
Watching handsome men and beautiful women having breakfast was also a great pleasure, as mukbangs were quite popular these days.
Xia Qingtian and the other two arrived fashionably late. As soon as they sat down, Lin Yirou handed Xia Qingtian a plate of sandwiches, "Didn't you get my message?"
She had sent a message to their private group chat about the program team's surprise live broadcast as soon as she finished washing her face and felt a bit more awake.
"I overslept and didn't see it," Ji Meina said with some distress.
"I got a new phone and haven't logged in yet," Xia Qingtian said, rubbing her cheeks with a hint of sadness.
That Tong Nian Zhe was really something, pinching her face…
She hadn't done anything to Ji Meina, they just slept in the same room! It wasn't her fault that she couldn't sleep alone after what happened last night.
Xia Qingtian cast a somewhat resentful glance at Tong Nian Zhe.
When this glance was captured by the camera, the viewers in the live stream immediately conjured up a whole series of love triangle dramas!
[She loves her, he loves her, she and her and him…]
[It's a mess, but exciting!]
[Isn't this more thrilling than a TV drama?]
[O great ones, hurry up and create content! This child is hungry!]
…
After breakfast, the chief director called Xia Qingtian aside, "It's the last week, and there's only a live broadcast this morning. You can do something to spice things up and increase the audience's anticipation for this week."
"Director, what should I do?" Xia Qingtian was a little clueless; she didn't know how.
The chief director looked at Xia Qingtian's exceptionally beautiful face, recalled her actions during this period, and said seriously, "It's okay, just be a little more restrained."
"???"
Xia Qingtian was indeed very restrained that morning. However, fortunately, enough explosive content had been generated early in the morning. Coupled with the timely creation of fan fiction by the "wives" in the fandom.
Cthulhu-themed lewd pictures and notebooks detailing the love triangle dramas were spreading wildly on major platforms and fan groups, continuously drawing viewers to the live stream.
The peak concurrent viewership for the entire morning easily surpassed nine figures.
This directly caused the "Heartbeat Splash" live stream to have only a handful of viewers. The actual number of viewers in the individual celebrity live streams combined didn't even reach five figures. Wanqing Entertainment had spent a large sum of money to artificially inflate the numbers to maintain a more favorable data position.
Following this was the afternoon. The live stream for "Heartbeat First Step" announced its cessation. At this point, viewers who hadn't had their fill flooded into the various live streams of "Heartbeat Splash."
After watching for a while, everyone felt like they had been force-fed something unpleasant and then told it was chocolate.
So, as many people entered, just as many left with complaints, also taking to social media to mock "Heartbeat Splash" for its low-level plagiarism.
Wanqing Entertainment had already bought data, and with such a large influx of people, followed by so many leaving shortly after, it caused significant fluctuations in the live stream's data.
The platform soon discovered this and directly shut down several of the "Heartbeat Splash" live streams, issuing an announcement stating that the live stream had abnormal data, was suspected of fraudulent operations, and would be suspended for 24 hours.
As soon as this news broke, Wanqing Entertainment and "Heartbeat Splash" were mocked onto the trending search list, ranking second.
At the same time, the first trending topic was "Heartbeat First Step's Bombshell Live Broadcast," and the third was "As Expected of You, Xia Qingtian."
There's no harm without comparison. The top three trending topics were all related to dating reality shows. The second, "Heartbeat Splash's" fake live stream data, looked so glaring and yet so comical.
Yu Linwan, in her office, was so angry she threw her phone. This was too much!
Just then, someone knocked softly and entered. Glancing at the mess in the office, they timidly asked, "CEO Yu, the live stream for 'Heartbeat Splash' has been closed. The director is asking if the filming for 'Golden Intern' should be moved up to today?"
After all, Gu Shi's "Optimal Intern" was also about to air, and they could only accelerate their progress to launch before Gu Shi.
"Hoo…" Taking a deep breath, Yu Linwan rubbed her aching temples and said, "Then move it up to today. Get all departments to cooperate quickly."
"Yes." Having received Yu Linwan's order, the person quickly retreated and began preparations.
After dealing with the employee, Yu Linwan began to arrange for paid articles to build up Wen Shengsheng's momentum. The moniker of "Little Xia Qingtian" also began to emerge under Yu Linwan's operations.
Of course, some people felt that Wanqing Entertainment was becoming more shameless, and some felt that Wen Shengsheng was becoming increasingly outrageous.
However, Wanqing Entertainment was willing to spend money, and they had many paid commenters. These dissenting voices were originally a minority and were now even more suppressed.
These actions naturally reached Mr. Gu's attention.
Faced with Wanqing Entertainment's bizarre maneuvers, Mr. Gu simply said mysteriously, "Wait a little longer."
The filming of "Heartbeat First Step" proceeded smoothly. In three days, all the guest groups had completed their assigned tasks.
For the remaining three days, "Heartbeat First Step" invited a flying female guest to fill the vacancy left by Qiu Xin Xue.
As soon as this female guest arrived and shook hands with everyone, she held Ling Fenghan's hand a moment longer and spoke more.
Ling Fenghan's smile was somewhat awkward, and he even deliberately chose a spot farther away from the female guest to stand later.
Xia Qingtian sensed Ling Fenghan's resistance towards the female guest and directly chose Ling Fenghan with the number 1 slip during this round of heart choices.
Ling Fenghan also visibly relaxed.
The female guest showed a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but constrained by the drawing rules, she held the number 4 slip and waited silently, while observing Ji Jun and Tong Nian Zhe with her gaze.
Lin Yirou also noticed that the female guest seemed to have her sights set on Ji Jun and felt a bit unhappy. She directly chose Ji Jun with the number 2 slip.
Ji Jun gave Lin Yirou a gentle smile.
Lu Songtao, holding the number 3 slip, glanced at Xia Qingtian, who had already chosen Ling Fenghan. After a moment's hesitation, he chose Ji Meina.
Ji Meina also just smiled and said nothing. Tong Nian Zhe, however, seemed quite displeased.
"Then I'll choose Young Master Tong~" the female guest said, clasping her hands together as she looked at Tong Nian Zhe. "It just so happens that I've always been a fan of yours, Young Master Tong. It's so lucky to be in a group with you. I'm so happy."
"You're happy a little too early," Tong Nian Zhe said, glancing at the female guest.
"Uh… hehe, Young Master Tong really likes to joke," the female guest covered her mouth with one hand and let out an awkward laugh.
Tong Nian Zhe didn't respond, leaving her to continue to be awkward.
Seeing this, both Xia Qingtian and Ji Meina looked at the female guest with considerable sympathy.
Young Master Tong's temper…
The activities for the following three days were also very simple, mainly focused on cultivating the guests' feelings. Perhaps thinking it was the final three days, the production team also arranged quite a few entertainment activities and默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding/chemistry) competitions.
