Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 52 Who Let You Wear the Same Clothes as Me?
The Yanjing 798 Art District was originally a cultural and creative park transformed from an old factory. The mottled red brick walls and metal pipes intertwine to create an industrial feel. Galleries, studios and trendy spaces are scattered throughout, making it one of the most avant-garde cultural landmarks in Beijing. It is often chosen as a venue for film and television events and art exhibitions, and it has its own young and diverse appeal.

This is also the live broadcast venue for today!
The jointly constructed live-streaming studio is hidden in a high-ceilinged factory building. On the backdrop made of black metal frames, the logos of Tencent Video and Douyu are displayed side by side, and the screen plays a series of montage clips from the drama.

The floor is covered with a dark gray carpet, and an L-shaped sofa and a wooden coffee table are placed in the center. Several track lights shine down at an angle, which retains the ruggedness of the park while exuding a sense of refinement in front of the camera.

After all, they were connecting with two live streaming platforms simultaneously, and their professionalism was evident in every detail.

When Jiang Ye pushed open the door, his footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet lounge.

He wore a beige hooded sweatshirt and straight-leg jeans with slightly tapered cuffs, paired with white sneakers, giving him a refreshing look typical of an 18-year-old without appearing frivolous.

Bai Lu followed behind him. The little girl wore a milky white sweatshirt, the hem of which barely covered the edge of her denim shorts, revealing a section of her fair calves. She wore white canvas shoes, and her long hair was loosely tied into a low ponytail with slightly curled ends. She didn't wear much makeup on her face, except for her bright, watery red lips, which made her look energetic and lively.

However, at this moment, her little face was drooping, and her head was almost buried in her chest.

She was lectured for three minutes in the hallway because she wore the same outfit as her boss.

She still remembers the harsh words her boss said back then!
"Hey Bai Xiaopao, does our company have a rule that employees have to dress like twins with the boss? Your sense of style is so perfectly matched to mine, are you trying to answer reporters' questions for me?"

"Are you trying to seize power? Or are you just trying to create a romantic relationship with me?"

I'll fry your bananas until they're rotten!
Hers is milky white, yours is off-white, it's a difference in coloring!

Can you blame her?

I'm absolutely furious...

As soon as the two entered, all three people in the lounge looked up.

Meng Ziyi was pursing her lips in front of the mirror, her delicate lips outlined in a mauve lipstick. She wore a burgundy velvet slip dress with a matching blazer over it, exuding elegance with a touch of sexiness.

Ou Hao leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, wearing black cargo pants and a black printed T-shirt, with a military green cargo jacket over them. He was twirling his phone between his fingers, exuding a casual and unrestrained vibe.

Yu Menglong sat on a single sofa, wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and light khaki casual pants. He was carefully buttoning up his shirt cuffs, his profile clean and soft, like a quiet painting.

"Is everyone here?" Jiang Ye casually pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze sweeping over the three of them. "Don't be nervous during the live stream later. Just treat it as chatting with your viewers. Remember to tell us more embarrassing stories from the set; the audience loves to hear that..."

"brother!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ou Hao jumped up and gave him a big hug.

I was so excited I almost wanted to call him "Dad!"
"Wow, that's impressive! My Weibo followers increased by 800,000 in a week!"

He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

With the double success of "Cool" and "Princess Promotion", plus the upcoming release of "The Left Ear", he has become the most sought-after male actor of the new generation.

He even felt that fawning over Ma Sichun was less worthwhile than following Jiang Ye...

Of course, it's just a thought for now, but this kid is really awesome!
As Meng Ziyi turned around, a fragrant breeze wafted from her skirt: "Director~"

She smiled sweetly and pushed past Bai Lu, then took Jiang Ye's arm and gently tickled his palm from an angle unseen by others.

Recently, she has probably been the most triumphant person in the whole school.

It wasn't like this a while ago.

The way her classmates looked at her was as if she were an idiot.

At first, everyone thought she was pretty amazing. She could get Professor Tian to personally endorse a project and secure the lead role. There must be something special behind her.

But when behind-the-scenes photos of the film crew surfaced, the tide turned instantly. The director was a freshman in college, the crew was dirt poor, the actors' costumes were either old ones borrowed from school or custom-made ones made from curtains, and the props were bought for 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Taobao.

After filming the night scene, the classmates who helped couldn't even afford a taxi and had to squeeze onto the last bus back to their dorm.

"What bad luck has Meng Ziyi had?"

"They really don't know how to choose resources. They went and messed around with a student film crew. Did they get their brains caught in a door?"

Everyone around was watching and laughing at him!

Even Wang Yifei, her closest friend in the dormitory, was so anxious that she broke out in a few pimples on her face.

She was one of the few people who knew that Meng Ziyi had brought her own investment to the production. Seeing how poor the crew was, she felt sorry for her every day.

"Ziyi, have you been fooled? What kind of spell did that director cast on you? Tell me, and I'll get a few people to help you get your money back!"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have encouraged you to invest in yourself. If I had known it would be this kind of production..."

But Meng Ziyi seemed to be under a spell.

Sometimes when I come back from work and stay at school, I'm so tired that I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, but I always end up holding my phone and laughing for a long time before bed, taking every opportunity to praise the director to my roommates.

"You guys haven't seen him directing a film. His focused expression is absolutely stunning!"

"He's not poor, he just spends his money wisely. You don't understand him at all!"

Wang Yifei was on the verge of a breakdown!
My sister is not only being scammed out of money, but she might also be in serious health problems!

The results of it?
Who would have thought that this show, which was ridiculed by the entire school for being "outrageously poor," would actually become a hit?

Right now at school, Meng Ziyi is arguably the most envied person by all the female students in the performing arts department, without exception!

Even the department head, who used to ignore her, would smile and praise her for her "good taste" when they met.

The most reserved was Yu Menglong.

Seeing Jiang Ye looking over, he immediately stood up and nodded slightly: "Director Jiang."

Compared to the perfunctory address before, this form of address carried a greater sense of solemnity.

He was tricked into joining in the first place, and if it weren't for Ou Hao's sake, he would have quit long ago.

His performance fees have doubled, and he's getting several scripts offered to him recently.

Now, besides genuine gratitude, he also felt a subtle, inexplicable sense of awe towards Jiang Ye.

The group chatted in the lounge for a while before a staff member came over to invite them to start the live stream.

Upon entering the live broadcast room, warm yellow lights immediately enveloped us.

The words "Princess Promotion Live Roast Session" on the backdrop were flashing. The host, Li Xiang, was talking to a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. When they came in, he immediately greeted them with a smile: "Director Jiang, Teacher Meng, Teacher Ou, Teacher Yu, this is General Manager Zhang from Tencent Video."

Tencent Video attached great importance to this live broadcast, with Zhang Zhidong, Vice President of Content, personally overseeing it.

Mr. Zhang stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Ye, smiling warmly: "Director Jiang is young and promising. The data for this drama is amazing. We are constantly being urged by netizens to update the series."

Jiang Ye politely shook hands in return: "Thanks to the platform's support."
