Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 475 Crying? Crying also counts as time!
"It's not good to have a long face," Qi Hui laughed. "It's obvious you don't usually follow the live streaming industry."

"It's not too late to object after you've finished speaking."

Yang Mi took a deep breath and could only patiently listen on.

She wanted to just leave, but... she didn't dare!
If you really leave, there will be no more!

Not only will she and Qi Hui have no future, but her original career will also be affected.

Qi Hui took a sip of ice water, then slowly began to speak, recounting his story in a gentle and detailed manner.
This year, 4G networks have been fully deployed, and smartphones, after years of development, have become the mainstream in the market.

Not to mention college students, even high school freshmen are getting their first smartphones.

Most people bought their first smartphone in the last two years.

Influenced by the general trend, the live streaming industry has also experienced explosive growth, with more than 200 live streaming platforms.

Live streaming platforms like Yizhibo, Huajiao, Yingrong, and Panda TV have all emerged in the last two years; there are so many that it's impossible to remember them all.

Many streamers have also started to emerge in the last two years, such as Feng Moti, PDD, Lu Ben... cough, I mean Wu Wukai!

Oh, I almost forgot about the mute bride who accompanied Yilu!

These individuals have all started to emerge in the last two years.

Another famous streamer, Da Sima, has already started to become active, but it will take another year or two before he begins to stand out.

Of course, Qi Hui didn't tell Yang Mi about what happened to these streamers afterward.

There are probably tens of thousands of live streamers in the industry, but the number of viewers is even greater, resulting in a larger flow of traffic.

This year has been dubbed the "Year Zero" of live streaming, with the industry experiencing a thriving boom.

Therefore, using live streaming to promote a movie is a great way to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

After hearing this, Yang Mi fell into deep thought.

As a queen of traffic, she doesn't actually resist traffic and topics at all.

In fact, those live streaming websites did extend invitations to celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, the terms offered were quite good.

But... people in the industry basically don't do live streaming!

Nothing more than this: it lowers your value, diminishes your status, and ruins your prestige!

The general public's perception of live streaming is consistent: a gathering place for a group of people with low cultural literacy.

Just look at the kind of people the live streamers are: the men are extremely rude, swearing and foul-mouthed; the women are provocative and push the boundaries in every way.

Once labeled as a female anchor, Yang Mi's status is probably in dire straits!
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui pursed his lips; he didn't deny it.
But the cultural level of people in the entertainment industry isn't much better, is it?

Some female anchors strike seductive poses, while some female celebrities don't?
"It's not like I'm asking you to become a streamer," Qi Hui said. "It's just that you can start a stream while you're playing games, and then end the stream when you're done."

"You can decide the number of times yourself. There's still some time before the promotion for 'The Vanished She'. If you don't want to, you don't have to chat with the viewers."

"Let's build up the popularity of the series first, and then fully unleash our potential during the movie's promotion."

Yang Mi frowned, still extremely reluctant: "Let me think about it... I need to consider it for a while."

"Consider it for a while?" That's a really good delaying tactic!
Qi Hui smiled enigmatically: "Mr. Yang, you're putting me in a difficult position."

Yang Mi's eyes twitched, and she blurted out, "If Jing Tian broadcasts it, I'll..."

"This is not something you should be thinking about." Qi Hui snorted irritably, interrupting her abruptly.
"..." Yang Mi's breath hitched, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of grievance welled up inside her: "You bastard, all you do is bully me!"

All the good things go to Jing Tian, ​​but all the bad things are dumped on me!

As she spoke, her eyes immediately reddened.

"Crying? Crying counts as time too!" Qi Hui was heartless, ignoring her tears. After acting for so many years, who knows if her tears were real or fake?

"Okay, okay, I'll broadcast it, alright?" Yang Mi wiped away her tears, but her face still looked aggrieved.
She looked like an unfortunate, virtuous woman forced into prostitution.
"Fine, I'll just consider it a task given to me by my master..." Yang Mi thought bitterly to herself. She'd already been forced into this situation by that bastard Qi Hui anyway.
"That's more like it." Qi Hui nodded in satisfaction. Yang Mi was just being hypocritical after getting a good deal.
Don't be fooled by their current disdain for live streaming; in a few years, people in the entertainment industry will flock to it.

Many memorable moments are born during live streams by celebrities!

For example, Jia Nailiang's line, "Getting my hair done."

Speaking of which, Jia Nailiang really seems to have a knack for live streaming; it's one thing if something goes wrong during a live stream...

Years later, one of his like-minded friends got involved with a female news anchor.

Qi Hui was a little curious about the relationship between Jia Nailiang and the mute bride mentioned earlier.
It really piques my curiosity...

Besides Jia Nailiang, there's also Zhai Tianlin.

He also asked during a live stream, "What is CNKI?", and well... the first year of the Tianlin era began!
Graduates are lamenting their plight; plagiarism checks are both time-consuming and expensive, making them want to shoot Zhai Tianlin!
Besides these two, a whole host of celebrities have rushed into the live-streaming e-commerce arena, with actresses like Liu Tao and Su Chang achieving considerable success in this field.

Later, two people in the entertainment industry even created a new idiom: 【潘嘎之交】 (Pan Ga's friendship).

So, even though Yang Mi is so resistant to live streaming now, I guess starting next year, no one will be so resistant anymore.
Qi Hui has given her the upper hand!
Yang Mi looked miserable, regretting coming all this way. She wished she hadn't come to visit the set.

He's gotten himself into big trouble!
"Don't look so long." Qi Hui pursed his lips and said, "I don't know if Jing Tian will broadcast it or not, but I will broadcast it live."

The big stick has just been used; now we need to offer a sweet treat to appease them.

"Really?" Yang Mi immediately perked up and asked curiously, "What are you going to broadcast?"

How about we play games?
"You'll know later..." Qi Hui said, pausing to reveal his true intentions.

Actually, he hasn't decided yet. He has many skills and doesn't know what to broadcast for the time being.

I'll think about it later!
"Fine!" Yang Mi pouted, no longer in the mood to stay.

After saying a few words of farewell, he quickly left.

Originally, she came here with the intention of getting closer to him, since Jing Tian wasn't here anyway, what a great opportunity!
But to her utter surprise, Qi Hui assigned her such a task, leaving her completely speechless!
"Live streaming...that's too much trouble!" Yang Mi muttered to herself. Although she had agreed and Qi Hui had said he would also stream, she was still somewhat resistant.

"Let's let the new employees in the company test the waters first..." Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her mind.

She's not alone anymore; she owns a company and can do things she couldn't do before.

Send someone ahead to scout out the situation, and then follow up later.

It will definitely be broadcast; she still has to complete the task given to her by that bastard Qi Hui.

……

the other side

Qi Hui stroked his chin, deep in thought, wondering what he should broadcast.
His skills are all somewhat unconventional: proficiency in firearms, artillery, bayonet fighting, and even explosives.
If this gets broadcast, the police will be at our door in no time.

Mastering armed swimming is not a problem, but it's not easy to teach. You can't exactly teach it in a swimming pool, can you?

What kind of armed swimming is that in a swimming pool?
Moreover, they're not visually appealing; aside from military enthusiasts, practically no one likes individual soldier tactical maneuvers.

Qi Hui racked his brains and finally remembered a skill he hadn't used in a long time: proficiency in jade carving!
"How about I carve an imperial seal..." Qi Hui thought to himself.

The promise of a long and prosperous life, bestowed by Heaven, is an irresistible allure for the Chinese people.

We Chinese people also have our own magic ring!

"Director!" Just then, the production manager ran over from afar: "Your diving safety training is all arranged, and we can start anytime."

"Oh... okay, I'll go train now." Qi Hui snapped out of his daze and immediately stood up.
He also has underwater scenes; although he has basic armed swimming skills, he still needs to undergo relevant safety training.

Even the best swimmers can drown; this is no joke.
