The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 34

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Lu Feng left after saying those strange words.

Gu Yu remained in the corridor. The hotel’s fifth floor was in a good location, the most suitable floor for viewing. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, people who needed to work had already gone to the set, and the rest were still sleeping. The corridor was empty. At this moment, she was the only one here.

The atmosphere was quiet. Only the gentle morning sunlight was cut into several pieces, passing through the viewing glass on the right and casting a layer of light golden light on the floor.

Because she hadn’t replied, Yang Tian thought she hadn’t seen the message and sent another text message: “Sister Yuyu, should we still look for Screenwriter Zuo?”

Gu Yu slowly walked down the corridor, thinking about how to handle this.

The main reason for looking for Zuo Jia was that the other person’s state seemed to be off, and she was a little worried that the other person might do something reckless.

Just as she was thinking, when she passed a certain spot, a slight noise came from the stairwell next to her, which was obvious in the quiet environment.

Gu Yu stopped and couldn’t help but look inside.

The hotel stairwell, because it was not often used, had a white pushable door for aesthetic reasons. But at this moment, the door was not tightly closed, leaving a gap.

Recalling the slight noise she had just heard, Gu Yu walked toward it. When she got closer, she could faintly hear a slight cry, but it was suppressed, as if the person didn’t want anyone to hear it.

Gu Yu had a vague premonition that it was Zuo Jia.

The other person was very fragile at the moment, hiding here, like a snail hiding in its small shell.

The crying was choked, and she probably didn’t want to be disturbed.

Gu Yu stood there for a few seconds but ultimately did nothing.

Separated by a door that was not very thick, she lowered her eyes, took a step back, and didn’t disturb the person inside. She sent a message to Yang Tian: “It’s okay if you can’t find her. We don’t have to do anything.”

••••

The sun was gradually rising.

On the set not far from the hotel, after Ming Xin returned the phone, she looked at Ming Xin’s departing back. After she was far away, one of them dared to speak. “What was wrong with Sister Ming Xin just now? Is she not feeling well?”

She was on the side just now and always felt that the expression on Sister Ming Xin’s face was strange. It wasn’t pain or discomfort. If she had to describe it… it was a kind of disappointment?

She suspected that she must have seen it wrong or didn’t understand it correctly.

As for the photos taken at the viewing pavilion, they still couldn’t find a suitable way to send them to Gu Yu and Song Xinran. They also weren’t sure if the other people wanted them. And since they had to start working soon, they had to put this matter aside for now.

However, at noon, Liu Yanxi happened to pass by and saw those photos. She said, “The photos turned out well. After the live stream on Saturday, you can use them for promotion. If someone doesn’t want to show their face to the public, you can blur their face.”

She looked at the last group photo and saw Gu Yu and Song Xinran surrounded in the middle, very close to each other.

Liu Yanxi couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. As Song Xinran’s aunt, she knew that Song Xinran didn’t like alphas getting close to her.

Now, looking at this photo, Liu Yanxi, who hadn’t paid much attention to her niece because she had been too busy, finally noticed something was wrong.

•••

A day passed quickly. On Saturday, the crew’s live stream began.

The official Weibo account of Path of Immortals posted an announcement: “The live stream will begin at 10 a.m. this Saturday. We’ll be with you, little immortal lords, and we’ll see you there.”

In the comments section, fans of various actors gathered, cheering.

“Xinxin! Xinxin! My baby Xinxin. I can finally see my baby Xinxin!”

“I can’t wait to see Xinxin’s outfit this time. She’s definitely going to look like a little fairy!”

“When is Path of Immortals going to release the final posters? It’s been at least two months since we started filming. Isn’t it time for promotion yet?”

“I don’t want Xinxin to act with that alpha named Gu Yu, boo-hoo-hoo.”

“Ming Xin has been in the industry for so many years. She has all the resources she could want. Why does she have to humble herself to work with a photoshopped and privileged person? Even as a passerby, I feel bad for her.”

“Everyone, don’t argue. Little Stars, please be polite and orderly. Just focus on our own star and don’t attract any negative attention.”

“Little Stars” was the loving nickname for Ming Xin’s fans.

Because Ming Xin and her team didn’t want to worry her fans or cause any discussion, they didn’t reveal the sasaeng fan incident. Now, the fans had no idea what their favorite idol had gone through and were happily looking forward to Ming Xin’s appearance.

There were also Lu Feng’s fans.

“Front row! Here to support Best Actor Lu!”

“When is Lu Feng going to accept another movie role? The last movie was so good. I still haven’t gotten over it. Cry.”

“Best Actor Lu finally knows about live streams. Even though it’s in the crew’s official live stream room, I’m already very satisfied.”

“Time to admire his face, slurp, slurp, slurp~”

There were also fans of the original novel.

“I’m really looking forward to this drama. It’s my favorite novel. The casting is also good. I hope it gets released soon.”

“I advise you not to have high hopes. The crew added scenes for a certain alpha surnamed Gu. This drama has probably been changed beyond recognition.”

“I heard that the author of the original novel personally adapted the script. We can have a little hope.”

Some comments seemed particularly out of place.

They were from the netizens who were attacked by online trolls before. They were ready to fight.

“I finally waited for this day. I’m ready.”

“They’re making quick money and adding random scenes. I’m a prophet. This drama is a goner.”

“Come on, everyone, let’s gather. When we see a certain Gu, we’ll all spam ‘get out of the entertainment industry’ to let them know our determination.”

“Where are those online trolls? Where are those online trolls? Why aren’t you showing up? Haters, speak up!”

“The live stream starts in two minutes!”

On the crew’s side, Liu Yanxi was with her team, making the final adjustments to the live stream equipment. The ultra-wide-angle, high-definition setup could record a large area if placed a little further away.

There were seven such live stream spots on the set. Viewers could choose their own camera angle to watch the corresponding scene.

“When the live stream starts, just act as you normally would. You don’t have to pay too much attention to the camera,” Liu Yanxi said after checking everything. “The person in charge of monitoring the live stream will monitor the bullet comments. If necessary, suppress the comments. Don’t do anything else.”

This was an unconventional live stream. She didn’t use a person holding the camera. Instead, she placed the live stream spots on the set. After all, sometimes, the audience trusted what they saw more than what they were told.

“Be careful with the live stream equipment. Don’t let it shift and record the filming scene,” Liu Yanxi added.

The drama hadn’t been broadcast yet, so it was not appropriate to show clips of the filming. The live stream cameras were mainly placed in the lounge area or scenic spots.

The crew members were a little nervous and swallowed. As Liu Yanxi spoke, the person next to her nodded, indicating that they had remembered.

It was 10 a.m. The live stream equipment was turned on on time, to the exact second. The live stream began—

Thanks to the previous hot searches and the commotion caused by the online trolls, as soon as the live stream started, the number of viewers increased by the tens of thousands. The growth trend was astonishing.

“We’re here, we’re here!”

“Wow, is this the filming location? The scenery is so beautiful.”

“I agree. The scenery is so beautiful. After living in a big city for so long, it’s rare to see a view like this.”

“Gu Yu, get out of the entertainment industry! Gu Yu, get out of the entertainment industry!”

[A hundred similar messages have been detected. The system has folded them.]

“How disgusting. Don’t spam…”

“If you’re going to spam, get out!”

“I just noticed that there are several boxes below where we can switch camera angles.”

“I noticed that too. The crew is so thoughtful.”

“Where’s Xinxin? I can’t see her.”

“Where’s Best Actor Lu? Where’s Best Actor Lu?”

Fans of various actors were all looking for their idols.

“I’m mainly here to see if Gu Yu is really photoshopped, hehehehe.”

“Found her! Found her! Xinxin is on the seventh camera angle with Best Actor Lu!”

As soon as this bullet comment appeared, the fans couldn’t sit still and swarmed to the seventh camera angle.

The staff in the backstage could see the number of viewers for each camera angle. Looking at the overwhelming number of people on the seventh camera, the person silently sighed in their heart: As expected of the two most popular people. The traffic shift is terrifying.

The people left on the other camera angles were mostly fans of other actors and…

“Gu Yu, get out! Are you too scared to show your true face?!”

“I’m waiting for Gu Yu to show up. If anyone sees her, DM me.”

“I hate alphas like Gu Yu the most. It reminds me of those people who act like divas.”

“Can you guys stop arguing? It’s so unpleasant.”

“Why do you care? Why aren’t the online trolls here? Are they out of money? Or are they scared?”

At the same time, on the seventh camera angle.

Ming Xin and Lu Feng had already changed into the costumes the crew had prepared for them. Their fairy-like robes fluttered. When they stood together, even though they had their own thoughts, they maintained polite smiles on their faces because of the live stream camera.

The two were waiting for the next scene to be filmed. The props team was setting up the location. This scene was outdoors. The scenery of the scenic area was behind them. Even though the camera couldn’t show the filming set, it was a little regrettable, but the two of them, as actors, had outstanding looks. When they stood together, it was very pleasing to the eye from afar, which was enough to make up for this regret.

This was a rare scene where a few people were filming together.

Ming Xin and Lu Feng saw that the live stream equipment’s red light was on and knew that the live stream had started. They waved to the camera.

The live stream comments scrolled by quickly.

“Xinxin wife prprprprpr, I’m drooling.”

“This outfit is so beautiful. But did Xinxin lose weight? My heart hurts.”

“Best Actor Lu, look at me!”

“Why is the camera so far away? I can’t even get a good look at them.”

“Setting that aside, the crew’s costumes and stuff are quite well-done.”

“Why haven’t I seen that very controversial alpha online?”

“The photoshopped person is obviously guilty. Almost all the actors in the crew have shown their faces for this live stream. Only she doesn’t dare to show herself.”

The live stream equipment was a distance away from them, but it was good quality and had a powerful sound-capturing function. They could hear the conversations from a distance.

Ming Xin and Lu Feng interacted very little. Instead, they frequently looked to the right, as if they were asking the crew staff, “Has Gu Yu changed her costume yet?”

Then came the voice of a staff member from the camera’s blind spot, “Teacher Gu should be ready soon.”

When they heard this, the netizens in the live stream room became even more excited.

“Oh, so she’s changing her costume.”

“And ‘Teacher Gu’… what a nerve.”

“Lol, acting with Lu Feng and Ming Xin, are you sure she won’t be completely overshadowed?”

“Even though I won’t be able to see the filming scene later, I can already imagine it.”

Some people, who enjoyed watching drama, went to the other camera angles to spread the news, saying that Gu Yu would appear on the seventh camera and would soon be filming with Ming Xin and Lu Feng.

Immediately, a large wave of people poured into the seventh camera angle.

The staff monitored the situation in real time and secretly felt lucky. They had considered that there would be a lot of people and had used the best equipment and servers for the crew, or else it would have crashed.

The seventh camera angle was very lively. The bullet comments flew by, one after another, so fast that you couldn’t even read the content.

The staff deleted and kicked out the excessive comments and didn’t bother with the rest.

It was Saturday, and most people were resting at home and bored, so the live stream of the Path of Immortals crew had already been trending on a hot search.

#MingXinsNewOutfit#

#LuFengPathofImmortals#

#PathofImmortalsLiveStreamNovelty#

More and more people came in out of curiosity.

About a minute later, some people in the bullet comments started to impatiently ask, “Why isn’t she out yet?”

It was as if she had heard their thoughts.

A staff member said, “Teacher Gu is coming out.”

Thanks to the ultra-wide-angle of the live stream equipment, netizens could see a wide range, but even so, the makeup room and dressing room were in a small house near the hotel, which was outside the camera’s view.

After the staff member said this, the netizens still hadn’t seen Gu Yu enter the live stream.

Instead, Ming Xin, facing the right side of the camera, showed a bright and lovely smile and called out, “Gu Yu.”

Then, the netizens heard a clear and clean voice reply, “Hmm.”

It was like a clear stream flowing through their hearts on a hot summer day, leaving a comfortable coolness.

Two seconds later, a figure in a white fairy robe appeared in the camera.

It was a tall alpha with excellent posture. Her ink-black hair was tied up with a simple hairpin, but it didn’t look plain. Instead, it gave off a sense of elegance and coolness. As she walked, her clothes fluttered without any wind, and she had a blue sword in her right hand.

The small portion of her side profile that was visible showed her delicate skin and excellent facial features. In the faint sunlight, her eyelashes seemed to blink with a golden light.

Ming Xin smiled and said, “The live stream has already started.”

Gu Yu’s steps paused. Only then did she remember that it was the day of the crew’s live stream.

She followed Ming Xin’s words and looked at the live stream camera. Her entire face was instantly revealed to the netizens.

The netizens’ breaths were caught in their throats. The bullet comments were blank for three seconds.
