Free Web NovelLeaving the Time Realm, she returned to reality.
“Go back,” Mingxi patted the cold, large head of the mechanical lion, having already placed her eye mask into the recess on its back.
At the same time, the familiar single-lens camera flew out.
After flashing three times, recording began.
Mingxi’s personal live stream also simultaneously appeared on Yunding Live, and the relevant personnel at Yunding had already been notified and were closely monitoring the situation.
The moment Mingxi’s live stream went online, a large banner promotion appeared on the Yunding platform’s homepage: The alliance first genius Mingxi, in collaboration with Dream City, is launching her grand live stream debut.
Not only was it prominently featured on the homepage, but there was also an even more exaggerated, platform-wide scrolling golden loudspeaker promotion in all live stream rooms.
This was the golden text that continuously looped at the very top of the live stream room chat.
It was typically used by the official platform to release special announcements or warnings.
Using the golden loudspeaker to promote a personal live stream was a first for Yunding Live since its inception.
There was once a rising superstar, thriving in film, television, and music, who came to Yunding Live to promote his new work and requested to use the golden loudspeaker for his live stream promotion, but he was mercilessly rejected.
Their explanation was: “Our platform’s golden loudspeaker can only be used to publicize new national regulations or major platform activities; it is not used for promoting or advertising any private live stream rooms.”
Because that new superstar was very popular, and not only was he a celebrity, but he was also a Professional Beastmaster of considerable strength.
His fan base numbered in the hundreds of millions.
The fact that his request was rejected by Yunding Live, no matter how it got out, it did get out.
Consequently, Yunding Live was almost overwhelmed by that superstar’s fans during that period, with insults against Yunding Live flying everywhere.
“Our husband is so good, he works so hard, how could Yunding reject [N O V E L I G H T] him?”
“Yunding is getting too big for its britches!”
“Yunding must apologize to our husband (geigei) and must re-arrange a platform-wide promotional live stream!”
Under the instigation of certain individuals, an ordinary business activity eventually escalated into a large-scale boycott against Yunding Live.
The superstar’s fans not only organized boycotts but also formed teams to flood Yunding’s live stream rooms, indiscriminately insulting streamers and viewers, turning others’ live stream rooms into a chaotic mess.
Domestic hot searches were full of related terms.
That new superstar, who felt slighted, did not speak out to stop his fans’ behavior; instead, he had his assistant privately message his major fans, saying things like ‘your geigei has been feeling down lately, under a lot of mental stress, and a bit insecure,’ and other ambiguous but highly suggestive and inflammatory remarks.
This caused the situation to escalate further.
It was as if Yunding Live had not merely rejected a celebrity’s request, but had committed a serious political error.
However, with Yunding Live backed by a top Longhua Country family, the Chu family, why would they compromise with a celebrity?
Even if this celebrity was a super superstar with hundreds of millions of fans.
But to a behemoth like the Chu family, which has existed for hundreds of years, let alone a superstar, even if a crown prince of an empire wanted to throw his weight around, they could easily put him in his place.
On the seventh day of the boycott, after the Chu family twice sent lawyers to negotiate with the superstar and his management company without success.
Chu family’s Yunzhou Media, Yunhe Cinemas, and thirteen other film and cinema companies, including Xintiandi Entertainment and Longxiao Entertainment, and Hongtu Cinemas, released a joint announcement.
The content of the announcement was very simple.
So simple that it contained only 17 short words: No longer cooperate with Mr. Zhen Xinghe in any form.
Zhen Xinghe was that superstar.
Soon after this announcement was released, people discovered that Yunzhou Video APP and Longxiao Entertainment APP, two major video websites, had already removed all works starring Zhen Xinghe and his pet beasts, and even videos related to concerts or award ceremonies Zhen Xinghe participated in were re-edited to erase any trace of his presence.
All fan-edited cuts were removed!
But this was just the beginning.
TV series starring Zhen Xinghe were returned by television stations, movies could not be screened in relevant cinemas, and even the Professional Beastmaster competition he was participating in was affected.
Because the sponsors withdrew their funding!
Overnight, the new superstar, the nation’s husband, became a pariah that investors avoided like the plague.
Zhen Xinghe and his fans were stunned.
After this farce, Yunding Live remained one of the three giants in the live streaming industry, as for Zhen Xinghe?
He didn’t retire from the industry.
After all, the Chu family operates with a bottom line and didn’t truly ruin him, but Zhen Xinghe’s presence on mainstream media has become very rare.
Ahem, I’ve strayed off topic again.
In short, this golden loudspeaker is not ordinary.
So when viewers in various live stream rooms saw the new content scrolling on the golden loudspeaker, they first widened their eyes in disbelief, then rubbed their eyes uncertainly.
Some even suspected that the live stream platform had a bug, exited the live stream APP, and logged in again, but the loudspeaker content remained unchanged.
“...What’s going on?!”
“Did I see it wrong?”
The various live stream rooms erupted! They went wild!
“The golden loudspeaker is actually promoting a live stream room? Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?”
“Suddenly, I feel sorry for Zhen Xinghe.”
“Nothing’s going on, it’s just Yunding Live slapping itself in the face, that’s all.”
“alliance first genius? Good heavens! Yunding dares to come up with titles like that!”
“Mingxi? Is that the one from the Jianghuai region?”
“If they dare to call themselves the alliance first genius, besides that Mingxi, it’s probably impossible for anyone else, right?”
“Who is that?” free𝑤ebnovel.com
“Is the upstairs villager new to the internet?”
“Mingxi is indeed a genius, but is ‘alliance first genius’ an exaggeration? With so many geniuses in the entire alliance, is she qualified?”
“Why isn’t she qualified? Is there any B-Grade Beastmaster younger than Ming Shen in the alliance? Is there any genius in the alliance who has continuously broken streaming records?”
“Some people are just jealous; Mingxi might not be the strongest among B-Grade Beastmasters, but she is definitely the strongest in her age group!”
“It really is Ming Shen’s live stream room! I just went to check, and although Ming Shen’s face is blurred, You Yan Yue Huang and Lovenia, no, Lovenia has already evolved and is now General-level! And! And! And! Ming Shen seems to have cultivated a new evolved pet beast! Everyone, go check it out!!”
“What? A new evolved type?”
“Lovenia evolved again!!!” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll go see if it’s a new evolved type first, and I’ll come back to watch Yaoyao sister dance after I’m done.”
“For Yunding Live to break its principles, this Mingxi is quite interesting; I have to go watch.”
“No worries, I’ll go take a peek for my brothers; brothers, you guard the best cat for me first.”
“Me too...”
As soon as the golden loudspeaker’s audacious move was made, after a brief clamor in the chat rooms of various live streams, almost every live stream room experienced a significant drop in viewership in the next instant.
