Chapter 476: Chapter 271
I’m not exaggerating when I say that I recognize several of these user IDs. A couple of them really laid into us before, spewing some vicious insults, and now, they seem to have completely changed, which is puzzling. If I were them, I definitely wouldn’t have followed the crowd in trash-talking at the start."
"Who cares about them, isn’t it nice that they’ve stopped now?" Wenyan turned to He Xing and tugged at her, "Stop reading those comments, will you? The printer’s acting up again. Can you check if it’s an issue with the ink cartridge? I wanted to print in color."
"Alright. You’re right, I shouldn’t keep looking at these comments, it’s a complete waste of time since there’s just no end to them. I just need to keep an eye on the general trend of comments."
After wrapping up two movie-related interviews, Wenyan started preparing for her movie script.
She was now gathering information online, needing to print out quite a bit of material.
As she copied and pasted, she said to He Xing, "I won’t be going back to my parents’ place tonight, so you might as well stay over, instead of having to come over again early in the morning."
"Sounds good, and I can make sure you go to sleep early." Just as she was speaking, He Xing suddenly received a message.
After reading it, she immediately told Wenyan, "Yanyan, the crew just messaged me. They’re asking if you have time tonight."
"What’s up, is there an issue?"
"Yes," ’Legend of Chang’an’ exploded in popularity, didn’t it? The crew wants to do a live broadcast connection as soon as possible, preferably tonight."
"What time?"
"They said it would be best during prime time, sometime between 7 PM and 10 PM."
Wenyan nodded, "That’s fine. I don’t have anything else tonight, so go ahead and reply to them."
"Okay." He Xing had barely sent the message when a reply came back.
"They said eight o’clock. I’ll order takeout now, so we can eat early and have time for you to put on a light makeup."
At eight in the evening, Wenyan connected with the rest of the cast on time.
Due to the platform’s limit on the number of connections, the director sat with several actors in the same live broadcasting room. Wenyan, Gu Xiran, and three other actors were in their respective locations.
Once everyone was gathered and greetings were exchanged, they moved on to the topic of the day.
The director also took on the role of the host today
Throughout the live broadcast, he was in high spirits, leading the way with a bow to the audience.
"We are immensely grateful to all the viewers for your support. Without you, ’Legend of Chang’an’ wouldn’t have achieved today’s success. I’ve seen your demands, so tonight, I’ve brought our actors over.
Rest assured, if our viewer count breaks one hundred million, we’ll definitely have a special treat for you all, that’s a promise. Also, today, Gu Xiran himself has made a pledge—if the viewer count exceeds one hundred million, he has vowed to perform a dance for everyone.
You all know Xiran started out as a child star, and many of you must have grown up watching his dramas, but I bet you haven’t seen him dance yet. Are you looking forward to it?"
The expectation was definitely there, but the audience wouldn’t let Gu Xiran off that easy!
The director, squinting his severely nearsighted eyes, read the comments on the screen: "Dancing is too common, it definitely wouldn’t be a challenge for Gu Xiran, we strongly request brother Xiran to dance a girl group dance...wow"
The director couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is that how we’re playing it? Alright, you’ve flooded the chat. Xiran, they all want to see you dance a girl group number, why don’t you sacrifice yourself for the audience this one time?"
Gu Xiran didn’t need the director to read the comments to him; he could see the exact same ’strong demands’ in his own live broadcasting room.
He laughed, "I see you all are lawless, I refuse."
Of course, the viewers weren’t going to let Gu Xiran have his way so easily.
Having no choice, Gu Xiran conceded, "How about this, let’s save the girl group dance for another time, okay? How about I promise to do it if we break ten billion views? I haven’t had time to learn it yet, have I?"
After much badgering, Gu Xiran finally agreed to dance a girl group number once the viewer count hit five hundred million.
Having arranged his ’treat,’ the director asked, "So, who do you want to challenge next?"
The comments were flooded with Wenyan’s name.
The director immediately called out to her, "So, what kind of performance is our leading lady of Chang’an planning to prepare?"
Wenyan actually didn’t have anything prepared.
"To be honest, I can’t dance, and it looks awful, so please don’t make me do that. How about this, I’ll do a live makeup removal, how does that sound?"
