Chapter 467

For the female celebrities participating in "Sisters Who Make Waves," what matters most isn't whether they ultimately form a group.

They aren't fresh-faced newcomers; forming a group holds little appeal for them.

Of course, winning would be ideal!

But what matters more is leveraging the show's massive popularity to boost personal exposure.

Undoubtedly, when the first episode of "Sisters Who Make Waves" aired, the traffic it generated was downright terrifying!

The first episode was split into Part 1 and Part 2, released simultaneously, and both surpassed 200 million views that day!

It rocketed to the top of all variety shows airing at the same time.

On the premiere day, Mango Super Media's stock price hit its daily trading limit mid-session, pushing the company's market value past 100 billion yuan, demonstrating the capital market's strong recognition of its commercial value!

More directly, before the show aired, about twenty brands had signed on; now, that number is nearly doubling to forty. If not for viewer experience, the total ad insertion time could easily have added another ten to twenty minutes.

The first-round sponsorship fees exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, with exclusive naming rights priced over 600 million yuan.

So right after the first episode aired, Mango immediately contacted Sister Yanzi—they were already planning post-group variety shows and wanted Bai Liang, and they said this time they wouldn't cut corners: "Yan Zong, go ahead and name your price—speak up quickly!"

Sister Yanzi: Wait, isn't that supposed to be the sisters' appeal? My little Bai is barely a supporting role here~

The real stars are those thirty sisters, but why…

Sister Yanzi did a little research and found that after the first episode aired, the number of trending topics had become uncountable.

Ning Jing, Jin Cheng, Tang Shiyi—all kinds of "celebrities" were showing off.

Some relied on professionalism, some on personality, others on conflict.

It basically satisfied every demand viewers had for the show.

Everything was there!

Of course, the biggest surge in popularity came from Wang Xinling's wave of nostalgia.

It felt like all her fans across the internet suddenly emerged.

On Douyin, just scroll once and there she is singing "Love You."

The screen was flooded with pink nostalgia.

Originally, it should've been a one-superstar, many-strong scenario—but because Bai Liang kept playing the idea guy, he forcibly elevated another contender.

What a great electro Dora.

The key was—Mango gave a helping hand: in the second episode's teaser, Qin Lan's voice seemed genuinely hoarser, naturally carrying an electro effect.

According to Sister Yanzi's intel, it was just one day apart? This can't be real—she didn't poison her own throat just to ride the trend, did she?!

Of course, there's another possibility…

Sister Yanzi: Little Bai, you're not serious, are you? Qin Lan is a full cycle older than you!

Sure, her face still looks top-notch, but some things—how do I put it—

Like a phone: you can swap the screen, but what about the charging port?

Bai Liang: Do you stare at the charging port when you use your phone?

Of course, this was just to refute the above point—mainly, Bai Liang didn't want to reuse old jokes like "old A8."

Still, he couldn't help reflecting: one must be kind to others; otherwise, after doing too many "bad things," even Sister Yanzi suspects him.

Sister Yanzi isn't the only one who suspects him.

Mao Xiaotong couldn't help saying: She chatted with you privately after filming, and the next day her voice was like this—what did you give her to eat?

Bai Liang sincerely claimed he'd only given her a candy.

But Mao Xiaotong didn't believe him.

Maybe because she'd once eaten something bad, she assumed Bai Liang had a habit of randomly giving people nasty stuff.

It's definitely him!

Time, space, plus all other necessary conditions—he meets them all. Even if you brought in Detective Conan, the deduction would be exactly this.

Unfortunately, Bai Liang stubbornly denied everything.

So she decided to show up for a surprise inspection!

She'd completely forgotten she'd previously told Bai Liang in all seriousness—almost swearing an oath—that it was the "last time."

She knew the routine by heart.

Though the hotel was different, the procedure was crystal clear to the girl.

Arriving at Bai Liang's door, she didn't knock—she sent him a text.

"Open up! Water meter inspection!"

Bai Liang opened the door quickly, but with a slightly troubled expression: "I have a guest."

"Who is it?"

As she asked, Mao Xiaotong peered into the room, her expression oddly excited!

Finally! She'd caught him red-handed!

As the entertainment industry's #1 catch-the-cheater, she hadn't properly used this skill since… well, ever.

She'd even prepared her line: the moment she caught him, she'd shout: "How can you treat Reba and Sister Tian Tian like this?!"

Though the wording felt slightly off, time was short and the mission urgent—there was no time to overthink.

Then, just as Mao Xiaotong leaned in, a "ghost" suddenly darted out from the suite's corner.

On all fours, it looked at first like it had done a backbend.

But because its head was upside down, its long hair hung down, covering its face.

At first glance, it looked just like Sadako—terrifyingly so—and it wore white!

And the way it rushed toward her was like a giant spider.

Just as Mao Xiaotong felt her heartbeat spike, the thing on the ground tilted its head, as if trying to see her clearly.

But how could this completely reversed method possibly straighten the head a full 180 degrees?

If the head won't work, the waist can!

Thus, the most fucking terrifying scene Mao Xiaotong had ever seen since birth appeared.

That person on the ground, on all fours, suddenly twisted their waist, their whole body contorting into a twisted rope-like state.

They used this method to straighten their head.

Mao Xiaotong's vision went black, and she nearly fainted!

"Hey hey hey, be careful! Jin Da Xi, what are you doing?" Bai Liang said, supporting Mao Xiaotong while complaining.

"I didn't react in time, it was instinctive—don't blame me! You were the one who insisted on betting with me just now."

Clearly, this abstract thing on the ground was Jin Da Xi.

At this moment, she had already adjusted her posture and stood up, smoothing her hair, her face flushed.

It wasn't because she was shy, but because the previous movement caused blood to rush to her head.

She did this purely because she had just bet with Bai Liang—betting whether such a reversed motion could make her run, since Jin Da Xi had performed a backbend move in her performance on "Sisters Who Make Waves."

She replicated it for Bai Liang.

But this guy then told her to try crawling on all fours.

The proof? Jin Da Xi's body flexibility was truly amazing! All those years of dance training hadn't been wasted.

Still, she herself was just too abstract.

Mao Xiaotong, finally recovering a bit, looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

How to put it? Too perverted!

What the hell are you two playing at?

Then Bai Liang couldn't help glancing at Mao Xiaotong's slender waist. "Can you do it?"

"Even if I jumped from this twenty-something-story building, I'd never be able to do this."

Half a minute later~

"I can do it too!"

"Can you do what Jin Da Xi did—keep your lower body still while twisting your upper body around?"

". Can't do it. I feel like I'd twist my waist," Mao Xiaotong tried slightly, and her "old bones" screamed a sharp warning.

Still, being able to bend backward like that and cosplay a giant spider was pretty cool.

But when Dou Xiao Ai arrived and walked in without closing the door, the scene she saw became even more fucking terrifying.

Where did these two giant spiders come from?!

Fortunately, Dou Xiao Ai had quite a bold nerve.

After a brief shock, she didn't become dazed—instead, she wanted to tease the "giant spider" on the ground.

"Are you insane?"

"Ahh~ You can even speak human language."

"Dou Xiao Ai, do you want to die?!"

When enemies meet, blood boils.

Jin Da Xi and Dou Xiao Ai's feud was practically out in the open; during the show's filming, they couldn't help throwing subtle barbs at each other.

This segment was successfully edited in—and broadcast.

Netizens erupted in discussion, dredging up their old grudges.

But Dou Xiao Ai had offended too many people, and with Jin Da Xi and Jiang Shuying's teams both wanting to take her down, even Xiao Zhao's fans joined in.

It looked like a full-scale mob attack.

Fortunately, Dou Xiao Ai's fans had fought their way up—they were battle-hardened.

Though temporarily at a disadvantage, they truly held their ground.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Zhao's "kind heart" meant her team hadn't intervened.

Otherwise, not even a multi-team assault would've been needed—just Xiao Zhao's own team alone could've crushed her.

But the funniest part? Jin Da Xi and Dou Xiao Ai were placed on the same team during the "Sisters Who Make Waves" group assignment.

The mode of mutually despising each other yet being forced to rehearse together disgusted them both.

But the audience loved it!

Isn't the entertainment industry interesting? At this point, their two teams developed a tacit understanding and teamed up to kick Jiang Shuying out.

This feud-generated traffic could be split between two people—or three. So why include you?

You bring no show effect, and you're not even standout among thirty sisters.

Though Jin Da Xi and Dou Xiao Ai wanted to kill each other, they both acknowledged each other's "strength."

A worthy opponent.

All other "cats and dogs" had better stay away—no one would even bother to feud with you.

At this moment, Mao Xiaotong, sitting on the carpet, glared at Bai Liang with a hint of resentment.

She wondered what spell had come over her—she wasn't a little girl anymore, yet she'd been tricked into joining this nonsense.

Cosplaying a giant spider was so embarrassing!

But now, watching Jin Cheng and Dou Xiao Ai start arguing again, her head throbbed.

These two had so much energy at this hour!

So~ what the hell were they even here for?

At this moment, the two had already begun exposing each other's old secrets.

"Wow! You're wearing yoga pants at this hour, and you didn't even wear underwear—shaved clean, huh!"

Dou Xiao Ai shot back immediately, "You're the one who's like that—what are you wearing under that nightgown? Do you think I didn't just see it? What's the difference from wearing nothing?"

Would Jin Da Xi tolerate her?

She simply lifted her nightgown and gave a bold display: "What am I wearing? Short shorts!"

Holy crap—briefs?!

So Dou Xiao Ai was just talking nonsense—"wronging" Jin Da Xi, who clearly was wearing something, and even something so modest.

Then Jin Da Xi added: "At least I don't end up with my dumpling skin squeezed out like you."

"Cover up that wound on your waist first—what the hell whipped you? You're really twisted!"

"."

Wow. So violent!

To be honest, Mao Xiaotong had seen how Re Ba and Na Zha argued—those two's fights were definitely fiercer than Jin Da Xi and Dou Xiao Ai's.

But their level of violence? Never this extreme!

Dumpling skin showed up already

And that waist wound? Mao Xiaotong caught a glimpse before Jin Da Xi pulled her dress down—it looked like it was from a belt lash.

"Where's your belt?" she suddenly asked Bai Liang in a low voice.

He blinked. "Broke. What's it to you?"

". Nothing. I'll buy you a new one later."

Mao Xiaotong recalled Jin Da Xi's motion of lifting her nightgown—mainly because those briefs looked oddly familiar~

The more she thought, the more she couldn't take it!

Dirty scumbag!

She reached out and pinched Bai Liang hard, glared at him, then loudly announced: "Re Ba's going to video-call us later—should we do it right here?"

"Video call?"

Bai Liang was startled, but quickly realized what this girl was up to.

Sure enough, Jin Da Xi and Dou Xiao Ai's expressions stiffened just a little.

After mutually huffing, they actually stopped arguing.

To be honest, one of the names from the New Jiang Twin Beauties was suddenly so useful—when did Re Ba gain this kind of intimidation?

In fact, even Mao Xiaotong was surprised by this effect.

She'd only used her first move—and these two reacted so directly. Why?

Jin Da Xi: Obviously, I'm in the Third Mistress sequence.

Zhang Tian'ai: I'm in the Foreign Fling sequence.

In short, hearing the name of the "Empress" made them feel guilty.

And recently, the only one who'd broken through the crowd of "Sisters Who Make Waves" hype was Re Ba.

Because the first promotional clip for "You Are My Glory" had been released.

It opened with a massive wedding scene!

And the studio's accompanying behind-the-scenes footage was equally powerful.

Even the promo clip came with a behind-the-scenes clip—everyone was stunned, especially when that clip showed Re Ba spinning in her wedding dress around Bai Liang!

Even her smile made people think—this wasn't acting at all; it felt like a real wedding.

Most brides' smiles at real weddings probably weren't as radiant as Re Ba's.

Once this came out, the trending charts "exploded."

Because the spinning moment that once blew up Weibo with "Wei Wei" hadn't appeared in a long time.

If this kind of thing happened often, people would grow used to it—and even think it was fake.

But after a long gap, it made people miss it.

In private, Re Ba had spun for Bai Liang many times—she loved spinning—but she hadn't done it publicly like this in ages.

After holding back so long, she finally pulled out a big one!

Their CP fans immediately "flooded" the internet—the hype for "You Are My Glory" shot up instantly.

The momentum was so huge, it felt like a blockbuster drama was about to premiere.

The "Empress" appears—the "Evil Demons" retreat!

Zhang Tian'ai's fantasy of fighting twenty-nine at once was just her own imagination—in reality, she could never pull it off.

But Re Ba was actually achieving the wild dream of fighting thirty—single-handedly challenging "Sisters Who Make Waves" for trending dominance.

Meanwhile, another "boss" was still lying low, observing everything, waiting for the right moment to deliver a "fatal blow."

It wasn't time yet for the big promotion of "Dear, Love You."

Though it sounded impressive, Na Zha herself wasn't as calm or queenly as she seemed.

After seeing the wedding promo clip of Bai Liang and Re Ba, she whined and threw tantrums.

She truly made her assistant record a video of herself rolling around on her bed, cooing and pouting, and sent it to Bai Liang.

Why her?!

She wanted it too! She demanded it!

But the drama obviously couldn't reshoot that scene—if they had to be fair in this aspect, they'd just have to push harder elsewhere.

By the way, which variety show could handle a "wedding" request?

Ideally, a New Jiang wedding.

Lu Han: Bro, are you looking for "Five Ha"?
