Yan Dongxu had heard before that some celebrities in the entertainment industry had bad tempers and acted arrogantly. Today he got to witness it firsthand.
Yan Dongxu knew who that sarcastic celebrity was.
Wang Yichen, a popular singer whose songs had become big hits in recent years.
His appearances in TV shows and movies had also received good reviews, propelling him to become a top-tier celebrity.
He was considered one of the current top stars.
But the Wang Yichen on screen was completely different from the Wang Yichen in the makeup room.
On screen he was sunny and handsome, giving people a refreshing feeling. He was seen as a positive role model among celebrities.
But the Wang Yichen in the makeup room had cigarette butts all over the floor. He had a terrible temper, and when angry he would glare fiercely, arrogantly disregarding everyone.
Even though Yan Dongxu was at the peak of popularity, in Wang Yichen's eyes he was nothing more than a minor internet broadcaster.
So what if he associated with espers?
Wang Yichen saw espers as freaks that would be wiped out sooner or later.
"Sorry, sorry, we'll leave right away and stop disturbing you," the staff quickly apologized to Wang Yichen.
They said they would go out first and find a makeup room for Yan Dongxu.
After coming out, the staff profusely apologized to Yan Dongxu, saying it was all their fault for letting him be wronged.
The staff were caught in an awkward position.
"Actually, that makeup room was prepared for Mr. Yan. We don't know what got into Wang Yichen that he suddenly came to film here. We had no choice but to arrange for him to use that room," one female staff member explained.
"We don't know how much he spent to suddenly bring all those fans here, as if he was coming to film!"
The young staff member couldn't help but complain, also feeling irritated.
"I saw online that Wang Yichen likes Xu Yiyi and is pursuing her now. Is that true or false?" Xu Lu began to gossip.
Lately she had been online a lot, paying special attention to entertainment industry news.
Who knows, maybe Yan Dongxu would head into the entertainment industry. So she had to do some homework and get a head start.
"Well, I think Mr. Yan is very nice. I won't hide anything from you all," the staff member said.
"To be honest, I think Wang Yichen came today just because of Mr. Yan."
"As soon as he arrived he asked if Mr. Yan was here yet, and when he learned we had reserved a makeup room for you, he occupied it."
"I guess it's because Mr. Yan is too close with Xu Yiyi, so he did this."
This young female staff member poured out everything in her anger, not afraid of losing her job due to the impact.
Yan Dongxu patted the staff member on the shoulder and laughed. "With what you just said in there, I definitely won't let you apologize to him."
After saying that, he took out his phone and started livestreaming. He turned around, kicked open the door of the makeup room, and strode inside to sit down.
Wang Yichen was startled, even dropping the cigarette he had just lit.
"What the f**k is wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to get lost? Why did you come back in?" Wang Yichen yelled furiously.
"I advise you to watch your words. I'm livestreaming right now," Yan Dongxu said coldly.
"Livestreaming? Did I say you could? Do you believe I'll sue you!" Wang Yichen shouted angrily.
Yan Dongxu shook his head with a look as if seeing an idiot.
"How else can a small streamer like me earn money? We're not like you big celebrities."
"Besides, on what grounds can you sue me? I didn't hit you. This beautiful lady here is my lawyer, so watch what you say," Yan Dongxu reminded.
【Who's this arrogant guy?】
【Right, who's blindly talking to you like that?】
【That voice sounds so familiar.】
【A fight? Beat him up! Cure his bad habits.】
【Slap him once, I want to see which uneducated loser this is.】
...
"Now, don't goad things on everyone. I can't afford to provoke the guy next to me. Have you heard of top-tier celebrities? I'm just a small streamer, how could I provoke someone like that?"
With one sentence, Yan Dongxu narrowed down the audience's guesses.
【Top-tier? Male?】
【Zhao Quan? Hu Tianyi? Sun Ningyu?】
【Which top-tier is so irritable? Let me see.】
【The streamer is going to clean up the entertainment industry! Tell us who's such a good actor.】
...
"No, no! The three people you mentioned have great character. Besides, they became popular through their acting skills."
Yan Dongxu kept shaking his head at the camera, indicating they hadn't guessed right.
Wang Yichen was so angry his eyelid kept twitching. He was stunned by Yan Dongxu's sly maneuvers.
This round of hinting had practically revealed his name outright to the audience.
【So the top-tier celebrity next to you didn't become popular through acting?】
【A singer? Which top-tier singers are there?】
【Could it be Wang Yichen you're talking about? I recognized his voice just now.】
【Yes, yes! It's Wang Yichen. Right on.】
【How can that guy have such a bad temper? His image is about to collapse!】
【Haha, didn't he recently say he wants to pursue Xu Yiyi? How did you two run into each other?】
...
Seeing the audience had guessed it, Yan Dongxu stopped talking.
He turned to the staff with his phone and asked, "When is the makeup artist coming? I need to get made up quickly and not delay the celebrity's rest."
"Just now when I came in he was already unhappy for me to be here. I felt so embarrassed. How can a small streamer like me share a makeup room with a big celebrity? Wouldn't that lower his status?"
The staff member struggled not to laugh. "I contacted the makeup artist already, he'll be here in a minute or two."
Yan Dongxu nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, hurry up and get my makeup done. I'm as anxious as sitting on pins and needles here. Just now I angered Teacher Wang by saying I was sharing a makeup room with him, and he refused to continue filming."
"As a small streamer, how much money can I make from a gig? I can't delay a celebrity from earning money. It's affecting his livelihood."
Yan Dongxu made sarcastic, mocking remarks one after another, angering Wang Yichen until his face turned blue.
Wang Yichen's mouth was like welded shut. He didn't dare let out a peep right now.
One wrong sentence could ruin his career.
But Yan Dongxu had no such concerns.
【Hahahaha, nice, teach him a lesson!】
【A celebrity dares to challenge our streamer? How dare he!】
【Just now when the streamer turned around, I saw that guy holding a cigarette.】
【Damn, for real? Let me rewind and check.】
【A top-tier celebrity smoking in the makeup room and bullying an internet streamer, this is going viral!】
【Heavens, cigarette butts all over the floor, is this guy a chimney?】
【A young singer smoking so much?】
...
The livestream audience had already started scolding.
Wang Yichen sat angrily in the makeup room, still unaware a storm about him was brewing online.
He was completely disoriented by Yan Dongxu's mocking.
Yan Dongxu chuckled to himself. As expected of him, that clever turn just now had maximized the effect.
Zhao Qingqing and Xu Lu sat smirking to the side, cursing that Wang Yichen was asking for it.
Of all people, why did he have to provoke the sharp-tongued Yan Dongxu? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
