Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 244 Yang Mi and Liu Qianqian's Verbal Clash
In Liu Qianqian's eyes, Yang Mi has never been her rival.

When they collaborated on "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she played the female lead, Xiaolongnu, while Yang Mi played the supporting role, Guo Xiang. The difference in their status was obvious.

Since then, the two have never collaborated again, nor have they interacted much online.

If it weren't for the fact that she still frequently sees news about Yang Mi on Weibo, she would have almost forgotten about this colleague she had worked with once.

It wasn't until she entered the lounge and met Yang Mi that Liu Qianqian thought to herself: Yang Mi's face seems smaller than before. Maybe it was small before too, but she can't quite remember.

Overall, she didn't have any particular feelings of liking or disliking Yang Mi; she was just indifferent to meeting someone she knew.

However, not caring does not mean you can be provoked at will.

Liu Qianqian has never been one to back down from trouble. When she heard Yang Mi making sarcastic remarks about her acting skills, she didn't back down and used her status to fight back.

"Movies and TV series are different. My acting method is to understand the character, which makes it more profound."

The reply was polite, but also very impolite.

To put it bluntly, Yang Mi acts in TV dramas, while I act in movies. We are different, so stop trying to take advantage of me.

As for acting skills, everyone's about the same. You say you acted well, but I'll say I acted with depth.

Who's afraid of who? It's like nobody knows anything about yin and yang!
After responding, Liu Qianqian turned her head and smiled at Yang Mi, then quickly turned back to the camera, only showing her profile to Yang Mi, her eyes looking straight ahead without glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.

Sensing this intense contempt, Yang Mi's memory returned to the scene on the set of The Condor Heroes, where she fanned Liu Qianqian in the rain.

That's how she was back then...

The grievances suffered in youth will always resurface in a more intense way at some unexpected moment in the future.

If it were just about holding an umbrella for Liu Qianqian, it wouldn't be enough to make Yang Mi hold a grudge for so many years. What she really can't forget is the slap she received from the director back then.

It is the combination of physical and psychological torment that makes something unforgettable.

Yang Mi, who felt she had already climbed to the top tier of celebrity status, saw Liu Qianqian still acting so arrogantly in front of her, like a proud phoenix, and all sorts of negative emotions welled up in her heart in an instant.

However, Yang Mi has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and even if she was angry inside, she was still very friendly on the surface.

"Haha, Sisi is right. She has acted in many movies in recent years, so her understanding of the characters is definitely more accurate and profound."

A seemingly casual remark landed like a bombshell in the live stream.

Dilraba, who was sitting next to Yang Mi, shifted her weight slightly to the side, and the expressions of the people on Liu Qianqian's side also changed.

He Jiong's pupils trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and his mind raced as he tried to figure out how to salvage the situation.

However, his mind was clearly not as quick as Liu Qianqian's counterattack.

"Mimi is right! I have indeed acted in a lot of movies over the years."

Liu Qianqian turned to face Yang Mi, gave a fake smile, and said, "I'm also trying out many different genres, taking each project seriously, and trying to improve my acting skills. I feel that this movie, 'Three Lives Three Worlds,' is a big breakthrough for me."

"hehe."

Yang Mi forced a smile, but the smile couldn't reach her eyes.

Although Liu Qianqian didn't say anything explicitly, her response seemed to be a direct attack on Yang Mi.

The wide variety of genres means that many directors want to cast her in films; taking each project seriously means that she doesn't take on multiple projects at once...

"Sissi has indeed acted in many different types of films and has worked with many directors. I heard that your agency is in Hollywood, right?"

Yang Mi continued to dig pits and create trouble. Whenever it came to arguing, girls' IQ would rise to a relatively high level, for fear of losing the argument.

When Yang Mi mentioned her agency, Liu Qianqian, who didn't immediately understand what it meant, simply assumed that Yang Mi was backing down and making peace.

"Yes! My agency is William Morris."

"Then you can act in Hollywood blockbusters in the future."

"Hehe, I'd like to too, but they don't contact me."

"hehe."

The atmosphere in the live stream was somewhat awkward amidst the fake laughter, but the chat section, which had learned to avoid sensitive words, was unusually active.

"Hahaha! Xixi is saying that Yang Mi is taking on too many projects at once and doesn't take her work seriously."

"What do you mean by filming multiple movies at once? It's because our Mimi is popular and has a lot of works. If she were like Liu Qianqian, every movie she made would be a flop, and she would have retired from the industry long ago."

"This is mindless and baseless criticism! If all of Sissi's movies were really flops, why would she get so many acting offers? Do you really think the industry is stupid?"

"Liu Qianqian keeps talking about her acting skills, but has she received any awards to certify them?"

"..."

The two sides' fans in the bullet screen were locked in a fierce and lively battle.

He Jiong, who had been paying close attention to the comments, kept moving his eyes up and down, feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure how to deal with the clash between the two actresses born in the 85s.

On the other side next door, Chen Xiu looked at the backend data on the big screen and felt extremely excited, because the number of people online at the same time had exceeded 50!

However, he still knew his limits.

There's nothing wrong with using live streaming for promotion, creating a bit of drama to gain attention and traffic.

However, the online feud couldn't get out of control. If emotions ran high and people stopped pretending, the live stream would turn into a farce, negating any promotional effect and creating numerous negative consequences. With that in mind, Chen Xiu picked up her pager and gave instructions to the staff behind the camera in the live stream room.

"Give Teacher He a hand signal so he can end the promotion of the series and start paving the way for Mr. Ma and me to enter."

"receive."

Watching He Jiong's changing expression on the screen, and the subtle shift in the live stream topic.

Chen Xiu turned to Ma Yun and said, "Mr. Ma, we can prepare to enter!"

"Great! Haha, today's performance was truly spectacular."

Witnessing the on-the-spot feud between female celebrities also made Ma Yun's face show some interest.

Chen Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully, "If the beginning is wonderful, the middle and ending can't be bland."

"Of course, Mr. Chen, shall we proceed with our original plan?"

"Mr. Ma can talk about whatever he wants; I can handle it."

"Good! I'm relieved to hear that."

Chen Xiu and Ma Yun's back-and-forth banter set the tone for the second half of the live broadcast.

After the two walked out the door, Su Xiao quietly came to Zhang Yiming's side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma has already left. It's not appropriate for Fan Luyuan to stay any longer. Go and entertain him and take him out."

"I?"

"I can't possibly go, can I?"

"Forehead……"

Zhang Yiming hesitated, thinking: If Su Xiao really goes to entertain Fan Luyuan, Chen Xiu will probably go to ByteDance to arrange projects for herself every now and then. Tsk tsk, I'd better do it myself!
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yiming put on an awkward smile and walked towards Fan Luyuan.

"Mr. Fan, you've come from afar, it would be a bit inadequate to keep you here. Why don't you come to my office for tea?"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhang."

When Fan Luyuan saw Ma Yun leave, he knew in his heart that it was no longer appropriate for him to stay there. Now that Zhang Yiming had come to invite him, he readily accepted.

After watching the two leave, Su Xiao stood where Chen Xiu had been and continued to observe the backend data and the movements in the live broadcast room.

"Okay, the TV series 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' will premiere on Dragon TV and Blueberry TV on the 31st of this month, officially meeting everyone! The movie version will also be released soon, and we hope all viewers will support it."

He Jiong's one-sentence statement seemed to announce the end of this live broadcast.

However, only half an hour had passed since the live stream started.

Fans who were drawn in by the pre-livestream promotional slogans also expressed their doubts in the chat section.

"Weren't Ma Yun and Chen Xiu supposed to be coming?"

"Yeah! I've been waiting here all this time just to see Chen Xiu. Who cares about female celebrities tearing each other apart!"

"He Jiong seems to have something more to say..."

As if responding to the calls from the bullet comments section, He Jiong paused for a moment after finishing his previous statement, and then made a Thomas-style spin to change the topic.

"Next, let's move on to the next segment of today's live broadcast. Please welcome Ma Yun and Chen Xiu!"

As he spoke, He Jiong started clapping.

The eight celebrities sitting on either side of him also became part of the atmosphere group, clapping sparsely.

As the applause began, Chen Xiu and Ma Yun, dressed casually, walked into the camera's view from one side of the live broadcast room.

Hello everyone!

Chen Xiu faced the camera, and then greeted the other people in the live stream.

Ma Yun followed suit and adapted very well.

The content in the bullet screen section was even better adapted, with countless "my father Ma Yun" and "my elder brother Chen Xiu" floating upwards like an escalating escalator.

After exchanging greetings, they arrived at the two U-shaped sofas facing the camera. Chen Xiu sat on the side of the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds," while Ma Yun sat on the other side.

The celebrities who had already completed the initial promotional work did not leave, but continued to sit quietly beside the two.

Having escaped the topic of female celebrities feuding, He Jiong seemed to have regained his vitality, and began his hosting duties in front of the bigwigs sitting on either side of him.

"Today we are honored to have two successful business leaders in our live broadcast room. Would you like to share some topics with our viewers?"

"Compared to Mr. Ma, I can hardly be considered successful in my career..."

"Hey, actually I'm quite envious of you. You're able to balance your career and pursue your acting hobby. Seeing your life, I even regret starting Ali Baba."

Here it comes, Ma Yun's presentation needs no warm-up or preamble; she gets straight to the point in a single sentence.

The host, He Jiong, who had just regained his energy, instantly became a background figure and the new inheritor of the meme after his opening line, "I regret creating Ali."

Having finished the topic recap, Ma Yun slightly adjusted her posture and began to put on airs for the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream.
