Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The netizens' slight doubts quickly dissipated when Zhang Yimou and Qin Hai appeared in the live broadcast room.

Zhang Yimou and Qin Hailu greeted netizens with smiles and endorsed Gu Zhiyan's words.

That's exactly what happened. As for what Gu Zhiyan and the girls did that night, they didn't know, weren't clear about, and had no understanding.

With the arrival of other people, netizens got excited again.

"Haha, Director Zhang plays mahjong too."

"Brother Yan, let the others join the live stream too!"

"Exactly, exactly, it's more fun with more people."

"I've never seen so many celebrities doing a live stream at the same time. This is amazing!"

"Brother Yan, this is a buy-one-get-six-free deal!"

……

At this point, the peak number of concurrent viewers in the live stream had exceeded ten million.

Gu Zhiyan said, "Everyone, don't worry. I will invite other people during the live stream later. Today, let Sister Meng chat with everyone for a while."

The others said goodbye to their online friends and continued their mahjong games, while Sister Meng stayed behind to do a live stream with Gu Zhiyan.

Sister Meng has been heavily criticized, and many people don't have a very good impression of her.

But as the conversation went on, netizens discovered that Meng Ziyi seemed to be quite an interesting person. She often said surprising things and was not the "scheming bitch" that people online said she was. She was just straightforward and spoke without thinking.

Not long after they started chatting, some netizens suggested that Gu Zhiyan sing a song.

Gu Zhiyan immediately sang "Your Answer".

This song is incredibly popular right now, even more so than when it was first released.

With its rousing melody and inspirational lyrics such as "the light of dawn," it accurately resonated with the public's emotions and quickly went viral across the internet.

After the song ended, some netizens suggested that Sister Meng sing a song as well.

Gu Zhiyan: ...

Well, seeing that Sister Meng was eager to try, Gu Zhiyan didn't stop her.

"Let me tell you, I'm a really good singer, only a tiny bit worse than Brother Xiaoyan. You're in for a treat this time."

Before starting her performance, Sister Meng boasted a bit, leaving netizens completely bewildered.

Gu Zhiyan suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously: "Sister Meng's singing is really amazing. I guarantee you'll all be speechless after listening to her."

Sister Meng chose Gu Zhiyan's "The Lone Warrior," and she confidently began to sing:

They are all brave.

The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made.

There's no need to hide anything.

Your worn-out doll, your mask, your ego

……

Netizens: ...

Is this "The Lone Warrior"?

Could it be a problem with my ears?

Sister Meng was still immersed in her own world and couldn't extricate herself. Usually, not many people listen to her sing. Now, her singing talent can finally be put to good use.

And netizens are in an uproar.

"Has a new version of 'Lone Warrior' been released? Why does it look different from what I remember?"

"Pfft, it really is the new version, Sister Meng's version, every single lyric is out of tune."

"My husband had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and sat up abruptly when he heard Sister Meng's voice."

"Haha, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts. The worst part is that she was really into her singing. I can't take it anymore, let me catch my breath."

"Being able to sing in this style is a testament to genius to some extent."

"When Meng Ziyi's voice came on, my mom told me not to sing!"

"The Deadly Diva"

"Nonsense, she's clearly a soulful singer."

"Haha, today's happiness comes from Sister Meng."

"Please don't laugh at Sister Meng, everyone. What if she stops singing in the future? What will I listen to then?"

"Yes, yes, Sister Meng sang very well, please sing another song."

"One more song."

……

After Meng Jie finished singing a song, she looked quite pleased with herself as she watched the comments on the live stream screen. The netizens asked her to sing another song!

She sings really well!

Well, Sister Meng was so engrossed in her singing that she didn't even see those comments at the beginning.

Viewers watching on screen were amused by Meng Jie's smug little expression and enthusiastically started commenting, "Great song, one more!"

Many netizens also asked Sister Meng not to sing Gu Zhiyan's songs, but to sing songs by other singers instead.

Sister Meng replied with a serious expression, "That won't do, it would infringe on copyright."

Netizens commented: "Sister Meng, feel free to sing. There will definitely be no copyright issues if you sing it."

Sister Meng looked at Gu Zhiyan with a puzzled expression: "Brother Yan, why are they saying that my singing doesn't have any copyright issues?"

Netizens laughed even harder!

"Ahem, don't listen to their nonsense. Sing whatever you want, and I'll handle the copyright issues."

Gu Zhiyan tried hard not to laugh out loud.

"Then I'll sing 'The Sea'."

Sister Meng confidently began her performance.

You, slowly disappearing from that distant seashore

The face, which was initially blurry, gradually became clear.

……

If only the sea could carry away my sorrows.

Like taking away every river

……

The comments from netizens this time were all positive: "It sounds good," "Not bad," "She sang very well."

A bunch of fun-loving people!

Gu Zhiyan's first live broadcast ended amidst laughter and joy, thanks in no small part to Sister Meng.

Gu Zhiyan's live stream reached a peak of over 1500 million concurrent viewers.

It broke the record of over 1400 million concurrent viewers set by CCTV's Spring Festival Gala in 2015 when it was exclusively broadcast on iQiyi.

Within 24 hours of its premiere and rebroadcast, the live stream garnered an astonishing 7.2 million views, a figure that far surpasses other popular live streams.

The biggest beneficiary is Sister Meng. After so many years in the industry and acting in numerous TV dramas, Sister Meng, who had never really become famous, has finally broken into the mainstream.

At least now, many people know Sister Meng, oh, that Meng Ziyi who sings off-key!

The topic of "Meng Ziyi singing" even became a trending topic.

Her confident and smug expression was even turned into a widely circulated meme by netizens.

However, Sister Meng felt a little uneasy after seeing the comments online.

"Why do they all say I sing off-key, even though the viewers in the live stream say I sing well?"

Everyone reassured him, "These people must be Xiao Heizi!"

Sister Meng: That's right, I'm naturally prone to being criticized, so it's normal to get criticized.

The viewers in the live stream were probably just being polite and not wanting to make fun of him because of Xiaoyan Ge.

How could I possibly sing off-key?

Thinking of this, Sister Meng's mood immediately improved.

As for being criticized again, she's used to it, so this level of criticism is nothing.

In the upcoming live streams, Gu Zhiyan will occasionally invite the actors from the film crew to appear on camera.

The actors were quite happy to participate, since they were idle anyway, and besides, Gu Zhiyan's live stream was incredibly popular.

Of course, the girls appeared most often in the photos.

Chatting, singing, dancing... all kinds of talent shows.

Although Zhang Tianai, Liu Haochun, and Cheng Xiao's performances were also quite excellent, it was Sister Meng who was the most popular.

I don't know how abstract netizens are, but they just like listening to Sister Meng sing.

This also boosted Sister Meng's confidence to the max.

That's right, she's a born diva!
