I'm Really a Superstar
chapter-1272

"Zhang Ye's debut livestream lands at Meihe TV!"

Meihe TV was one of the largest livestreaming sites in the Chinese market and had ample capital. The site had signed many streamers under its brand name, and the user base was one of the top two in the country. They had invested a large sum of money to get Zhang Ye to come and livestream on their site. The promotions for it were carried out in full swing with the ads running for several days.

On Weibo.

"Zhang Ye is going to start streaming soon!"

"I saw the ads for it since a few days ago."

"Yeah, there's still half an hour until it begins!"

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"Is he going to sing or something?"

"Who knows? I'll join the channel first!"

"Hahaha, I've already been waiting there for 30 minutes."

"I'm here! Damn, the livestream still hasn't started? The screen is still dark, but there's more than 300,000 viewers? What's with everyone?"

"This is Zhang Ye we're talking about, do you think he can't command at least that number of viewers who want to watch him?"

"Pfft, everyone's spamming the channel with messages. It's so funny."

In Zhang Ye's channel, all that could be seen on the stream was a massive amount of scrolling comments 1 .

"Why is that fella not here yet?—Where is Zhang Ye?—Hurry up and start streaming already!—Gogogo—I've been waiting the whole day for you, hurry up!—Zhang Ye must be squatting in the bathroom—Zhang Ye didn't bring any toilet paper with him, so he can't get out of there—Someone quickly pass a roll of toilet paper to Zhang Ye—I'm waiting for the show to begin—Reserving a spot in advance—Haha, I came in early because I was afraid I would get locked out—Wow, there are already 400,000 people waiting in here?—This scammer's pretty popular it seems—Yeah, there no sign of him yet but there are already 400,000 people waiting—The record for a Meihe TV channel is only around a million concurrent viewers, right?—Pfft, it was especially funny when Old Chen livestreamed. He actually got destroyed by Himi—Himi is too good at hyping up her streams—The thing is, she reveals a lot of skin—Damn, who dares talk bad about my Himi?—Eh, Himi is also going to start streaming soon—What? At this time?—Wow, Sister Yiyi is also announcing in her chat group that she's going to start streaming soon too—They're all doing it because of Zhang Ye—Hahahaha, Zhang Ye's getting attacked!—I like seeing this, why am I so happy?—Haha, me too—"

In the streamers' chat group.

Himi: "Sisters, I'm going in first!"

Sister Yiyi: "All the best, we must fight back!"

Hooo: "Yes, show him what we can do and who has the most popularity and influence on our turf. Zhang Ye's just a mainstream celebrity, how could he know anything about streaming. He's surely going to just sing some songs or whatnot, all those boring activities. He doesn't know what the users on these online livestreaming sites like to see. Comparing professionalism, how could he be better than us? No one else can be more professional than us when it comes to this."

Another female streamer said: "Right, I also don't like these mainstream celebrities. They don't even understand what livestreaming is and they're here to try to get a piece of the popularity pie. Who do they think they are? What makes them so qualified that the site has to spend millions just to invite them and promote their activities while we veterans have to advance slowly in the industry? I really can't accept this! If it were any other industry, I would have nothing to say. He is indeed very famous in the mainstream. But on livestreaming sites, I don't believe that we can't beat him if we gang up on him!"

"That's right!"

"Sisters, the time has come for us to uphold our dignity!"

"Alright, let's show him what it means to be a professional streamer!"

The group of female streamers were in a frenzy.

There were also a few male streamers who came forward to show their support.

But at the same time, some others didn't whether to laugh or cry.

Xixi typed: "My sisters and brothers, surely we don't have to go that far, right? Teacher Zhang coming to our site for his debut show is also a chance for our site to grow further. This can bring more fans to our site, and if the audience retention is good, they might turn into our fans in the future. Why are you all so agitated?"

A quarrel broke out in the chat group!

"Xixi, you're a diehard fan of Zhang Ye's, so there's no place for you to speak!"

"Right, you wouldn't understand even if we explain it to you!"

"So what if I'm a Zhang Ye fan? You all can hype up your own streams all you what, but do you all have to attempt to squeeze out my Teacher Zhang?"

"It's fine if you don't want to join our cause!"

"Sisters, ignore her. Let's do it!"

"Alright, I'll go beyond my usual sexiness today!"

"Do it!"

"I'll go and get changed!"

"Strip! Strip! Strip!"

The group of streamers began their streams amid the ruckus!

Himi started her stream.

A pretty face appeared onscreen. "Hi, everyone, did you miss me? I'm starting the stream earlier today as I have something to do tonight. I heard that there will be a celebrity streaming later, so I hope that you guys won't abandon me here by myself, alright? Don't do it, that would make me really sad!"

With that.

The comments started flooding onto the screen.

"No, we won't!"

"*pats Himi*!"

"I'll only be watching you today, no one else!"

"Zhang Ye's a dick, who cares about him!"

"Right, this lord will send you presents today, all the presents that you want!"

"That's right, don't make Little Sis Himi sad. Everyone, start sending presents!"

Sister Yiyi started streaming.

The moment she came on, she gave three kisses to the camera.

Her group of fans and "whales" in the channel started catcalling!

"Sister Yiyi is so beautiful today!"

"You've so little clothes on? I like it!"

" Big 2 ! It's so big!"

"My eyes are bedazzled!"

Hooo started her stream.

Hooo: "Does everyone still remember? It's my birthday today, so I hope that everyone can send me more presents, please? I would like to break the record for the total amount of donations received, can you guys help me with that? What? I just celebrated my birthday last month? Yes, that's because it's my birthday on the Gregorian calendar today. If I receive enough presents, I'll be dishing out some goodies afterwards~"

"Ahhh!"

"What goodies?"

"I'm coming!"

"Send! Send! Send!"

"I won't be watching Zhang Ye's stream anymore. I'll just stay here and wait for the goodies!"

In an instant, Meihe TV devolved into pandemonium!

With a little less than half of the most popular streamers starting their streams, the remaining popular streamers showed no signs of activities. Meanwhile, some of the lesser known streamers on the site did not join in the commotion over here. That was because they knew this wasn't something that they could afford to have a part in. All they could do was watch quietly.

It was a tragedy back when Chen Guang tried his hand at livestreaming.

They wanted to see if Zhang Ye would follow in his footsteps.

Those ladies were not easy to deal with at all!

…

Elsewhere.

On Zhang Ye's channel.

"Haha, he's been attacked from all over!"

"Zhang Ye will be in tears soon!"

"Those female streamers are too aggressive!"

"Yeah, they're all appearing one after another. This is totally an siege tactic!"

"Fuck, I really don't know what I can say. Don't they know that even with this site's male and female streamers combined, even if their popularity were to be multiplied by a hundred times, they still couldn't win against Zhang Ye?"

"That might not necessarily be true. Those people are much more professional at streaming."

"Yeah, this site is not Zhang Ye's home turf after all, so he really might not be able to win against them."

The livestreaming site also realized something was going on!

The boss flew into a rage thinking about what was going on! Why were those ladies causing so much trouble! It was supposed to be Zhang Ye's livestreaming debut, so what the heck were they joining in the commotion for!

Were they trying to hype up their channels?

Were they trying to steal the show?

Even if they were, they should know what day to do it on!

He could let it slide for the incident involving Chen Guang. But it was Zhang Ye who was here today, the biggest name who had the most attention in the country at the moment! If you all were to drive this important guest of mine away in anger, I'll definitely kill all of you!

There was still a minute left in the countdown.

Zhang Ye's team was getting prepared for the stream.

Zhang Ye was also seated in the streaming studio, familiarizing himself with the navigation and taking note of the controls. Then he received a call.

It was Fan Wenli.

Zhang Ye answered with a smile: "Old Fan, what's up?"

"Have you started streaming yet?" Fan Wenli asked.

"Not yet, but I will soon," Zhang Ye answered.

Fan Wenli said worriedly: "Be careful, both Old Chen and I are also watching. Old Chen's stream was affected by one of the female streamers. It seems like they've discussed it again after tasting success the last time and are planning on attacking you. Let me count, one, two, three—there are a total of five streamers who have just started streaming. I don't know if they're the most popular streamers since I don't really pay attention to this industry, but just watch out."

Zhang Ye laughed: "Sure, Sister Fan. Thanks!"

Over the phone, he could hear Chen Guang's voice. "That's enough, Wenli."

Fan Wenli said, "What's enough?"

Chen Guang laughed and said, "With Zhang Ye's ability, would they be able to push him down? You're really funny."

Zhang Ye was amused and said: "It's still Old Chen who understands me."

The call ended.

The boss's secretary entered the room.

The secretary immediately said, "Teacher Zhang, sorry about it, but a situation has occurred on the site. A few streamers are causing trouble and trying to steal the show. We've sent our people to give them a warning, so it should get settled soon."

Ha Qiqi froze.

Little Wang was dumbfounded.

What?

They were really trying to mess things up?

However, Zhang Ye said, "It's fine, Secretary Sun. So what if they decide to start streaming now? It's not like they're breaking the rules. Why should they get warned? Just let them be. The site can't stop all their streams just because I'm here, right? That isn't at all reasonable. So don't be like that and just let them stream if they want to."

The secretary gave a wry smile. "We're afraid that the number of people watching will be lowered as a result. After all, those who are streaming right now are the most popular streamers. They're all professionals and know how to keep their viewers around."

Well, whatever.

You're saying it as though I am not a professional.

Alright then, this bro can only up my game and show you all what I can do!
