187: Chapter 190 Madman

How could this happen? His livestream data was clearly better than Lu Qingyu's before, so how did it suddenly turn into this?

At noon, the second round of Firepower voting began. For two minutes, Song Yushuo stared at the bottom right corner of the screen, hoping his Firepower value would be higher than Lu Qingyu's.

However, he was disappointed. Including the cumulative Firepower from the previous round, his current total was 9.22 million, while Lu Qingyu's had already reached 21.09 million. The difference between them was more than double.

Song Yushuo couldn't control his facial expression and couldn't help but show his frustration during the livestream. He even posted a Weibo during this time.

"Appearing on a show should rely on one's own ability, not cheating."

Just as he finished posting the Weibo, Song Yushuo's aunt saw the message and nearly fainted from anger. Wasn't this a blatant provocation?

Although he didn't mention a name, did he really think everyone couldn't tell who he was talking about?

Song Yushuo's aunt immediately logged into Weibo and deleted the post, which also caused Song Yushuo's displeasure.

After deleting it, she tried every possible way to comfort and dissuade this little ancestor, Song Yushuo. She knew him well and knew that the data must have affected him.

"Don't worry about the data. Today is the first day of the livestream. Just follow the plan."

Song Yushuo took a deep breath after seeing the message. He had indeed been impulsive just now. His aunt was right; he still had many areas where he could showcase himself.

After leaving the company, Song Yushuo headed to the film set. He still had filming content today, and it was time to show his professional side at work.

Upon arriving at the set, the photography crew followed Song Yushuo to do his makeup and hair first.

The movie he was filming today was an action film produced by a major director, involving many fight scenes. Today was an underwater scene. Usually, such scenes would require a stunt double, but not today.

In front of the livestream camera, Song Yushuo endured the hardship and personally went into the water to film. The entire process took two hours, and he seemed very cooperative with the director.

After filming this segment, he even asked the director if they needed to film two more shots.

The director knew they were livestreaming, so for the sake of Song Yushuo's mother, he cooperatively shook his head.

"You performed well. This segment is a wrap."

Song Yushuo nodded with a smile.

[Shuoshuo worked so hard. His acting is both diligent and great.]

[Doing every shot personally—let those in the domestic entertainment industry who use stunt doubles see that this is the professionalism an actor should have.]

[It's so good that our Shuo's hard work is being seen.]

After this scene, the number of people in Song Yushuo's livestream room recovered quite a bit. Combined with the internet water army his aunt bought, it was already on par with Lu Qingyu's.

After Lu Qingyu checked the data at noon, he found that he only had over twenty million. He was a bit dissatisfied. This Firepower value was high compared to Song Yushuo's, but he wasn't comparing himself to Song Yushuo.

In his eyes, this so-called "Little Lu Qingyu" was just a bonus for this show, responsible for helping him get an extra million after he won.

It seemed he needed to pull out the big guns!

In the afternoon, the photography crew followed Lu Qingyu out.

Everyone thought Lu Qingyu was also going to a film set to shoot. While in the car, fans were still inquiring:

[Is Little Brother going to film some work? Is it convenient to reveal a little?]

[It's already afternoon; he's probably going to attend an event.]

[Little Brother's recent schedule has been so mysterious. I wish Little Brother would release an album.]

Lu Qingyu caught a glimpse of the bullet comments. Seeing that everyone thought he was going to film, he directly explained:

"No commercial activities. I'm not taking any for these few days."

"No filming today. I don't have any filming content for these three days."

"Why aren't you filming?"

"Because I'm livestreaming now. Isn't that already working? Besides, can't you just watch the drama after it's finished? Why livestream the filming process? It's dull and boring, and there will be spoilers. That's even worse."

Lu Qingyu: "Although there's no filming, we're going to select some artists for the company this afternoon."

At this moment, the netizens still didn't know how this artist selection would be conducted.

Su Jixing had already found the twenty male artists Lu Qingyu requested. Qingcheng Entertainment was about to film four film and television projects, and Lu Qingyu's hotel was still short of a spokesperson for commercials. He could take this opportunity to let the netizens help with the selection.

The hotel by the airport had been officially renamed DS Hotel, and this activity was being held at his own hotel.

The land Lu Qingyu held here was quite large, and the scenery was beautiful. It was originally a place suitable for vacation, and now that an airport had been built, Lu Qingyu believed it was very suitable for developing the tourism industry. Thus, he used the remaining area from the hotel construction to build a golf course.

Lu's audition this time was set at the swimming pool in the hotel's back garden. The equipment was already set up, and the twenty artists had all arrived.

Zhang Ling and the other nineteen people had arrived at the hotel early in the morning. Director Su said that the boss, Lu Qingyu, would personally come for the audition today and told them all to prepare the talents they were good at. If they performed well, they would become the male leads in the film and television projects invested in by Qingcheng Entertainment.

Zhang Ling had previously been a trainee at another company for two years. Later, the company's development was poor, and it went bankrupt four months ago. Zhang Ling was introduced to Qingcheng Entertainment. He originally thought he would have to be a trainee for at least a year before the company would give them projects, but he didn't expect to receive a temporary notice yesterday that as long as they passed the boss's audition, they could go and act.

Being an actor was Zhang Ling's dream, and now he had to seize this opportunity.

After waiting for most of the day, Lu Qingyu finally arrived, followed by a filming team.

None of the twenty handsome young men were younger than Lu Qingyu, yet the moment they saw him, they all stood up and bowed.

"Hello, Boss."

Lu Qingyu greeted them and then sat in his designated chair.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm currently recording a variety show where tens of millions of netizens can interact. So, I want to take this opportunity to let the netizens help screen for suitable roles."

Upon hearing this, the crowd didn't relax but became even more nervous. With tens of millions of netizens in the boss's livestream room, if they performed poorly, wouldn't they be scolded by tens of millions of people?

Su Jixing followed along and then distributed all the materials in his hand.

"In here are the materials for all the projects the company is going to film. There is no limit to the number of applicants for each project, and everyone can apply for multiple projects simultaneously. Let's start from the first page of materials. It contains the audition content. Once everyone has decided, we can begin."

Besides Lu Qingyu and Su Jixing, there were also two teachers from the company on the judging panel.

Lu Qingyu said to the camera, "If the number of applicants for a project exceeds two, then Qingcheng Entertainment's official website will place all these applicants in a voting area, and the netizens will help select the most suitable artist."

After speaking, Lu Qingyu turned the camera to face his artists: "Come on, the web drama 'Water Abyss.' Three scenes. Requires being shirtless. A scoundrel who frames the mistress of the house for adultery. Those who want to play this role, take off your shirts."

Netizens: [Holy crap, nosebleed!]
