Xia Weiliang was woken up by Ji Huan's phone call.
"What Alice?"
"'Love Value.' It's a charity project for 'Love Luck.' Fans donate money to help idols increase their Love Value. The top ranker will team up with the assistance ambassador to promote 'Love Luck.' Oh, and they'll also represent the platform in doing charity work in remote mountainous areas, around next month."
"Oh~" Xia Weiliang yawned, turned over, and asked weakly, "Which little brother or sister is the top ranker?"
"Heh, of course, it's our niangzi sister."
"Oh... then please congratulate me... who?"
Xia Weiliang suddenly sat up, "Sister Huan, who did you say?"
"You."
She bit her lip and asked tremblingly, "...Sister Huan, how much did you spend this time?"
"Don't be silly, it's all from fans. I don't have that much money to spend on you."
"Fans... voted for me?"
Xia Weiliang was even more confused, "My fan base has grown this large? When did everyone's taste become so excellent? They really have discerning eyes for me!"
"When participating in these kinds of events, fans will go all out to support their idols. So the votes are usually evenly distributed, and the top few are very close. Although you don't have many fans, you have external help."
"I have such a high-level attribute?"
Even Xia Weiliang herself was surprised.
"Yes, 'Challenge Us!', the Tie family, and Brother Cheng and Sister Hua have all been helping you solicit votes..."
Xia Weiliang was deeply moved, my dearest family, I love you!
"However, the real big player is Zile Guo."
"Scheming Le?"
"That's right, to get you to the top spot, Zile Guo went all out!"
Xia Weiliang expressed doubt. Is Scheming Le so kind? It doesn't seem like his usual character!
"...Heh, they signed a three-year endorsement deal, at a fair price, economically viable. Brand promotion expenses are usually five times the endorsement fee, so the more popular you are, the more Zile Guo will earn. The saved endorsement fees can be used for promotion. No matter how you look at it, they are the ones making money!"
Damn it! Sudan Novel Network
So calculating!!
But regardless, she didn't lose anything. Instead, thanks to Scheming Le, her public recognition increased, which was a win-win situation.
The next question was, if she became the top ranker, did it mean she had to team up with Yi Shen?
This...
She wasn't scared, just felt that the two of them had been exposed too often recently. Silence was more eloquent than sound! Besides, it was fine, even she didn't believe it!
As if guessing her thoughts, Ji Huan said directly, "The rules were set long ago. Zile Guo made such a big fanfare to gather votes for you, and everyone saw it. Your top rank is well-deserved. If anyone tries to spread conspiracy theories now, we don't even need to act; Yimi will teach them a lesson."
Right!
Xia Weiliang chuckled, she was about to bow to her phone, "Sister Huan is right!"
"Also, don't forget that you have a brand live stream tonight. Oh, have you ever done a live stream?"
Xia Weiliang patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry! That's my specialty!"
——
As Zile Guo's spokesperson, this was Xia Weiliang's first time doing a live stream for the brand.
The host was a former internet celebrity who had transitioned to the platform. She was sexy and spoke in a sweet, alluring voice, captivating a large male fanbase.
It wasn't until she was in the same frame as Xia Weiliang that she understood the actual gap between an internet celebrity and a star.
Xia Weiliang sat in the live stream studio, staring at herself on the phone screen, her brow furrowing tighter the more she looked.
"Uh, excuse me, can you turn off this big-eyes filter? I look like an alien!"
Female Host: "..."
The fans were flooding the chat with "Hahahahaha."
"And this skin smoothing..." She touched her face, "I feel like I'm about to jump out and possess the body."
Female Host: ...
Xia Weiliang stared at her strange face, tut-tutted twice, "And this chin..."
Female Host: Ahhh, just shut up!
"...Is it so that when I seek revenge, I won't be found with a weapon?"
Female Host: I don't want to live anymore.
Suddenly, Xia Weiliang saw Nuomi on the opposite side waving at her non-stop with crossed hands...
Just now...
Didn't someone tell her something... something about the live stream having already started...
"Is this... started?"
The female host glanced at her faintly.
You think?
The 321 countdown just now, was it missing a 0?
Xia Weiliang instantly put on a smile. When it came to professionalism, the actress-Xia was second to none.
"Oh my, this filter is so interesting! Big eyes, fair skin, cute little chin, I really like it!"
The staff members opposite: "..."
The female host muttered a four-character idiom from the depths of her heart, then turned around with a smile like a peach blossom, "I'm so glad to have Sister Weiwei in our live stream room. My darlings must be as curious as Miao Miao about how Sister Weiwei maintains her skin. She's getting more and more beautiful!"
Xia Weiliang paused.
If she said it was natural beauty, would she be criticized?
With a quick thought, she smiled and picked up the Zile Guo on the table, "Of course, it's because of our Zile Guo Xiao Le~"
The host asked at the opportune moment, "Why?"
Xia Weiliang held the pot facing the camera and started to blow... er, no, to praise.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand, eating Zile Guo won't make you beautiful! But! Eating it will make you happy, and when you're happy, you naturally become more beautiful~"
At this moment, the brand's owner, who had been staring at his phone, immediately slammed the table—
Forget online, offline, or outdoor terminals, increase the promotion budget! Make the image of Niangniang holding Zile Guo omnipresent and infiltrating everywhere!
What was originally a normal celebrity endorsement brand live stream, because she actively requested to turn off the filters, it successfully attracted a wave of good attention.
With the help of a skilled editor, the live stream was turned into a meme video: "I look like an alien... I feel like I'm about to possess the body... Is this chin so that when I seek revenge, I won't be found with a weapon?"
In the video, her expression was one of genuine disgust. The captions were paired with "Don't try any useless tricks on me," coupled with the female host's lifeless expression, it was full of comedic effect!
The great gods also dug out her previous live stream videos from Xiaolv Book.
The comments below were so funny they almost made people die laughing!
The first time anyone saw someone eating sunflower seeds and live-streaming, and eating them so seriously!
She didn't say much, the whole time it was just "crunch crunch" sounds, as captivating as it could be!
Casual viewers were reflecting, why didn't they realize that Niangniang had such high comedic talent before? Even if it was acted, it was acted with sincerity, with realism, with style!!
As for Xia Weiliang, whether she was trending or not, these ephemeral trends only reminded her how much she lacked in works and strength, which led people to only focus on these things.
Look at the film emperors!
As the saying goes, the difference in height is evident, they are not in the same league!
Therefore, she had to work hard, she had to strive!!
