Chapter 174 Gu Yang's Live Stream on Weibo
According to the official announcement, Gu Yang will break the traditional interaction model between celebrities and fans by starting a "celebrity first-person perspective" live broadcast at 13 p.m., taking viewers directly to every exciting moment behind the scenes of the Weibo Night event.

From red carpet preparations to backstage footage, from the awards ceremony to the after-party, fans will have an unprecedented immersive experience through Gu Yang's mobile phone lens.

This news instantly went viral across the internet.

"Holy crap! Douyin's move is absolutely phenomenal! Will celebrities be carrying gimbals on the red carpet for their live streams from now on?"

"Has Gu Yang finally become a man with a camera on his head?"

"Isn't the focus the backstage perspective? A high-definition, uncensored live stream of Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei's love triangle? [licking screen] I suggest Gu Yang tie his phone to his forehead to film this!"

"I suggest adding a rocket-themed feature. I want to crowdfund to get Gu Yang to film the iconic scene of a celebrity touching up their makeup in a toilet stall [doge]"

……

At 1 p.m. sharp, Gu Yang's Douyin live stream started on time.

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed at an alarming rate: 10, 50, 100 million, 300 million, 800 million...

The barrage exploded instantly:

"Ahhh, honey!!!"

"Holy crap, this perspective, is this really a first-person view of idol watching?"

"Yang looks incredibly handsome today! His suit is killer!"

"Don't shake the camera! Let me get a good look at your face!"

"Gu Yang! Quickly take us to see the female celebrity's dressing room!!"

Once the camera stabilized, Gu Yang's handsome, angular face appeared on the screen.

He was wearing a well-tailored black suit with a dark blue silk shirt underneath, the collar slightly open, revealing his collarbone.

He was sitting on the sofa in the president's office of Galaxy Media, smiling slightly at the camera:
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Yang. Today I'll take you behind the scenes of Weibo Night."

The comments section went wild again:

"That sound... my ears are pregnant!"

"Hello, Mr. Gu! Are you going to give us a tour of Galaxy Media today?"

"Quick! I want to see a female celebrity put on makeup!"

Gu Yang glanced at the comments and chuckled, "Aren't you all curious about what preparations the celebrities have made for tonight's Weibo Night?"

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Gu Yang stood up, and the camera followed his perspective as he walked out of the office.

Galaxy Media is not only a film and television company, but it is also Douyin's largest MCN agency, with extremely luxurious office space.

The building features floor-to-ceiling windows, an open-plan office area, live-streaming equipment, a professional photography studio, and even a dedicated "influencer incubation center."

"This company... is even more luxurious than I imagined!"

"Gu Yang is the boss? That's incredible!"

"Look! Isn't that Brother M?!"

"Am I seeing things? I think I see Li Ge..."

After taking only a few steps, I bumped into a sweet girl in a JK uniform, "Dai Gula K".

Daigula K waved with delight: "Hello, President Gu!"

Gu Yang nodded and smiled, then casually introduced, "This is our company's top internet celebrity, Dai Gula K, who recently surpassed 1500 million followers."

The barrage exploded instantly:

"Ahhh, it's her!!!"

"She's also from Galaxy Media?!"

"Does he really have 1500 million followers?"

"No, according to Gu Yang's introduction, her account has already gained 100 million followers, now it's 1600 million."

Daigula K clearly noticed the frenzy in the live stream chat and playfully made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera: "Thank you everyone for your support!"

After walking a few steps, I "coincidentally" ran into "Duoyu and Sister Mao Mao".

Duo Yu and Mao Mao smiled sheepishly: "President Gu, are you live streaming?"

Gu Yang smiled and nodded: "Yes, let me show everyone around the company."

The barrage is boiling again:

"Sister Mao Mao! My source of happiness!"

"Just how many internet celebrities has Gu Yang's company signed?!"

"Wow, I haven't even seen any celebrities yet, but I've already seen all sorts of internet celebrities!"

Just as Gu Yang turned the corner of the corridor with the camera, a familiar, mesmerizing laugh suddenly came from inside the open glass door of the dance studio. The camera panned in that direction.

"Pfft!" Gu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Sicong was seen mingling among a group of online dance influencers, clumsily mimicking the "Seaweed Dance" moves from the dance teacher.

He was wearing an oversized trendy T-shirt, and when he jumped, the little bit of fat around his waist jiggled with the rhythm, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

? ? ? ? ?

This……

"Brother Cong?" Gu Yang knocked on the glass door, suppressing a laugh.

Wang Sicong was startled and almost tripped over his own AJ shoes when he turned around.

Upon seeing the dark live stream camera, he instantly turned red from his neck to his ears: "Holy crap! Gu Yang, you...!"

He frantically grabbed a towel and smeared it on his face.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly:

"Hahaha, Principal Wang is so ridiculous!"

"I could laugh at this scene for a year!"

"So this is what the wealthy do in their leisure time?"

Wang Sicong walked out, forcing himself to remain calm, and smoothed his sweat-dampened bangs: "Well, I just happened to be here today to inspect the company's business."

Gu Yang grinned mischievously and zoomed in with the camera: "Brother Cong is an angel investor in our Xinghe Media. He usually pays special attention to artist training."

Then, she suddenly turned to the dance studio and asked, "Teacher, how did the principal dance just now?"

The dance teacher, suppressing a laugh, gave a thumbs up: "Very artistically captivating!"

The comments section was flooded with memes:

"I suggest Principal Wang debut as the center of attention!"

"This wave is capital directly entering the market to experience life firsthand."

"Gu Yang, you're finished! The principal is going to withdraw his investment, hahaha!"

Wang Sicong grabbed Gu Yang by the neck and dragged him off-camera, threatening in a low voice, "Cut this part out! I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

"Hey bro, it's live streaming!"

? ? ? ? ?

Principal Wang was completely devastated!

Holy shit, why don't you just die!
Gu Yang tried to salvage his reputation: "Actually, Brother Cong often comes to the company to give ideological guidance to the trainees who are potential internet celebrities. Today, he should be doing market research."

The camera follows Gu Yang to Xinghe Media's top-of-the-line VIP dressing room. As soon as he opens the door, he sees Zhao Lusi looking up as the makeup artist applies her base makeup.

She was wearing fluffy pink loungewear, her hair was casually tied up with a shark clip, and she had two cartoon-shaped moisturizing face masks on.

"Wow! A live stream?" Zhao Lusi sat up straight the moment she saw the camera, her face mask wrinkling as she frantically tried to pull it off. "Wait, wait, I'm not ready yet!"

The makeup artist quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't move, my dear! Your foundation is going to smudge!"

The barrage exploded instantly:

"Ahhh, Rose is so cute even without makeup!"

"This shark clip is the same one I have! It's practically a couple's set!"

"The Pikachu ears on the face mask are so cute, hahaha!"

Gu Yang smiled and adjusted the camera to a suitable distance: "Let me introduce you all. This is Zhao Lusi, the female lead of the recently popular drama 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose' on Tencent Video."

Zhao Lusi immediately flashed her signature wink at the camera: "Hello everyone~ I'm Chen Qianqian herself!"

After saying that, she laughed so hard she fell back into the makeup chair, revealing her signature gummy smile.

"Help! That smile is so healing!"

"Go Chen Qianqian! Episode 18 has been released today!"

"Gu Yang, quickly ask her which plot point she most wants to change after transmigrating into the book!" Upon seeing this comment, Gu Yang actually held up his phone and asked, "A netizen asked, if you could change one plot point in 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose,' which part would you most like to change?"

Zhao Lusi suddenly switched into her dramatic persona, using a high-pitched voice and a character from a drama to say, "Of course, I want Han Shuo to kiss me as soon as possible!"

The live chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha".

Gu Yang looked at the rapidly scrolling comments and laughed, "It seems everyone really likes Ruth. Remember to tune in to the latest episode of 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose' tonight, and look forward to her performance on Weibo Night."

Before leaving, Zhao Lusi suddenly jumped up from the dressing chair, lifted her skirt, and performed an exaggerated courtly salute: "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty the City Lord~"

The video perfectly recreates famous scenes from the show, leaving viewers with a screen full of "Ahhh!" comments.

Pushing open the heavy soundproof door to the adjacent dressing room, the first thing you hear is the constant sound effects of video games.

The footage captured by the camera instantly caused the comments section to explode.

Zhou Ye leaned casually against the makeup chair, wearing a loose beige knitted cardigan and light-colored jeans, her short hair looking particularly dashing.

She held her phone horizontally with her left hand, while her right index finger swiped rapidly across the screen, her brows slightly furrowed: "Zhang Jingyi, get me two minions in the mid lane! I'll be level four soon and can gank!"

Sitting next to her, Zhang Jingyi was also intently staring at her phone, wearing a white cotton T-shirt and black casual pants, with a pair of blue light blocking glasses perched on her nose.

Upon hearing Zhou Ye's words, she immediately protested: "You're playing jungle and you're taking my mid lane? Zhou Ye, have some decency!"

As he spoke, he reached out to block her screen, saying, "I just got solo killed by the enemy, my economy is already terrible!"

"Stop messing around!" Zhou Ye nimbly dodged to the side, but the movement was too big, and the thermos cup on his lap fell to the ground with a "clatter".

She frantically tried to catch it, and her game character was immediately frozen in place, caught red-handed by the enemy jungler.

"First Blood!"

"Ugh, it's all your fault!" Zhou Ye scratched his hair in frustration, and the thermos cup rolled twice on the ground.

Zhang Jingyi pushed up her glasses with a smug look: "Serves you right! Serves you right for stealing my minion wave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his character was also controlled by the enemy support, and the screen instantly went dark.

"Double Kill!"

Both of them cried out in unison, "It's over, it's over, this game is going to be lost!"

Just then, the sound of the door being pushed open startled the two women who were struggling together.

Zhou Ye suddenly turned his head, and his phone fell to the ground with a "thud," the tempered glass screen protector cracking like a spider web on the wooden floor.

In the game, a teammate yelled into the microphone: "Jungler AFK? I've reported him for being a troll!"

Zhang Jingyi was startled and quickly stuffed her phone into her coat pocket.

The barrage exploded instantly:

"Wow, female celebrities are so down-to-earth in private!"

"Zhou Ye's outfit makes him look so approachable, like the girl next door."

"Ahhh, my Tong Nian baby!"

"I love Zhang Jingyi's glasses look!"

"Calculate the area of ​​psychological trauma experienced by your teammates."

Regarding the incident where my teammate suddenly went offline to record a program.

Gu Yang suppressed a laugh as he picked up his phone, the screen still flashing a "surrender or not" voting interface.

Zhou Ye, her ears turning red, snatched it back and muttered under her breath, "Can we restart this game...?"

Zhang Jingyi had resumed her dignified sitting posture, and if one ignored the corner of her phone peeking out of her pocket, she said, "We're researching how mobile games train reaction speed."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly, and casually placed the thermos on the dressing table.

The makeup artist floated by, holding a powder puff, and said, "Ladies, if you move again, the foundation will have to be redone."

Just then, a teammate's voice came through the game: "Hey? You two who're AFK? You're not celebrities, are you? Your voices sound familiar..."

Zhou Ye quickly tapped the surrender button and solemnly explained to the camera, "Esports is all about participation."

Zhang Jingyi added, "So someone shouldn't be stealing the mid lane anymore."

The comments section was already bursting with laughter:

"This interaction feels so real."

"I suggest you just start streaming the game."

Teammates never know what they missed.

Gu Yang: Who am I? Where am I? Should I laugh?

Gu Yang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems that the sequel to 'Better Days' could consider an e-sports theme?"

Zhou Ye immediately picked up on the joke: "Then I'll play a jungler who gets dragged down by his teammates and cries?"

Zhang Jingyi added witty remarks: "Playing himself."

Gu Yang smiled and turned to the camera: "I probably don't need to introduce these two, right? But for the new viewers in the live stream..."

"I am Zhou Ye!"

Zhou Ye immediately flashed a peace sign at the camera, switching into business mode in a second, "I'm currently filming Director Gu's new movie 'The Vanished Woman,' please keep an eye on it~"

After saying that, he even winked, showing no trace of the irritable demeanor he had while playing the game.

Zhang Jingyi elegantly adjusted her collar: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Jingyi. I played a not-so-likable character in 'Better Days'..."

She deliberately made a pitiful expression, saying, "I hope everyone won't criticize me too harshly after watching the movie."

The barrage instantly flooded the screen:

"Zhou Ye's ability to change his expression is incredible!"

"Wei Lai, I hate you, but Zhang Jingyi, I love you!"

When will "The Vanished She" be released?

"Two older sisters, let's stick together!"

Seeing the question in the live chat, Gu Yang took the opportunity to introduce the film: "The Vanished She" is a suspenseful romance film. Zhou Ye has a breakthrough performance in the film. As for the specific plot...

He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Anyway, it's not about playing an internet-addicted girl."

Zhou Ye immediately protested, "I'm pretty good at the game! That was an accident!"

“Yes, yes, yes,” Zhang Jingyi nodded seriously, “I accidentally dropped my phone, I accidentally hung up, and I was unexpectedly reported.”

"Zhang Jingyi!" Zhou Ye pretended to hit her, but the makeup artist held her down: "Eyeliner! Your eyeliner is smudged!"

The comments section was bursting with laughter:

"Fake Sisterhood Confirmed"

Makeup artist: This is so hard!

"Director Gu, you need to control your actresses!"

Gu Yang shook his head helplessly: "Alright, let's not disturb them while they're doing their makeup."

Before leaving, he suddenly turned around, pointed at the two of them, and said sternly, "I'm warning you, no more playing games!"

Zhou Ye nodded obediently: "Yes, Mr. Gu."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and assured her, "I absolutely won't hit you!"

As soon as the door closed, Zhou Ye's cheers came from inside: "Quick, quick, quick! Let's start a new game!"

Zhang Jingyi's voice could be faintly heard: "This time I'm going to play jungle!"

Then came the makeup artist's lament: "My foundation!"

Gu Yang rubbed his forehead in front of the camera: "Cut this part out."

"Screen recording is already done!"

"Female celebrities' rebellious moments"

Director Gu: I'm exhausted.

The number of viewers in the live stream has unknowingly exceeded 2000 million, and there are so many comments that it's impossible to keep up.

When Gu Yang pushed open the door to the last dressing room, he bumped into Tian Xiwei, who was sucking on a cup of milk tea with her cheeks puffed out.

Half a dozen macaron boxes were piled on the table, and the strawberries on the cream cake were poked crookedly.

He raised an eyebrow, staring at Tian Xiwei's slightly rounder face, and couldn't help but ask, "How many times has this happened? I just said yesterday that I wanted to control my sugar intake."

"Huh? I didn't say that..."

Tian Xiwei stared with her round, almond-shaped eyes and hurriedly explained, "This was specially delivered by Teacher Zhou Ye..."

"It's just a kind gesture..."
