Half an hour before the live stream started.

Li Dingjun drove Chen Yiyang and Li Qiqi to the 'Old West' live streaming studio.

At the same time, the live stream avatar and title of the Old West studio were immediately changed to feature Li Qiqi.

This move by Old West caught the fans and viewers waiting for the live stream completely off guard.

It also bewildered the people at Douyin.

The internal conflict within Old West was still at the internal dispute stage, and although the news was well-known internally, it hadn't spread outside.

So, the news Douyin received was still that today's Old West live broadcast would feature the anchor Chenghui, Old West's owner Jiang Yue, and other minor streamers.

But suddenly switching to the currently hottest internet celebrity Li Qiqi's avatar, what the heck?

Could it be that you really brought Li Qiqi over to host the stream for you?

After Li Qiqi became famous overseas and CCTV reported heavily on her.

Countless companies have been waving money, hoping to find Li Qiqi and bring her under their umbrella.

But the representatives sent out by these companies couldn't even see Li Qiqi, let alone anyone from Li Qiqi Studio.

Because up till now, Li Qiqi and Li Qiqi Studio have been making money relying on video sharing revenue.

There was no intent to engage in external business cooperation.

Plus, the studio was initially funded and assembled by Chen Yiyang, so they've never run short on money, and naturally, they haven't sought investments from people within the industry.

As a result, even people within the industry couldn't reach out to Li Qiqi.

Thus, people at Douyin initially didn't think 'Old West' could invite Li Qiqi to stream.

"Boss, someone from Douyin messaged our account backend, asking us to change Li Qiqi's avatar. Because it might involve infringement."

"Reply to them, just say tonight's anchor is indeed Li Qiqi."

After Chen Yiyang instructed Old West's studio staff to reply to Douyin like this,

the people at Douyin responded cautiously with a "Really?" after a few minutes of silence.

After receiving a confirmation reply from Old West,

those sitting in Old West's live streaming room saw that their live stream account suddenly got a traffic boost from Douyin.

The live stream hadn't even started yet, but the comments were already flooding in.

'Did Douyin actually invite Li Qiqi to stream?'

'Wait a minute, isn't this streaming room our son-in-law Chenghui's? What's with this woman?'

'What do you mean this woman, this is Li Qiqi, much more famous than Chenghui.'

As everyone knows, fan wars are the quickest way to gain traffic.

With several fan groups clashing and support from Douyin's traffic,

the Old West's live streaming room reached the second-highest popularity on the entire platform before it even went live.

Because of this, a large number of bystanders flocked to the streaming room.

And these bystanders were completely baffled as they watched.

What the heck, the stream hasn't even started yet, how did it get the second-highest popularity?

Rigged!

This live stream must be run by Douyin itself.

Amidst this noise, the Old West live stream finally started.

Li Qiqi and Chen Yiyang appeared in the live stream.

"Welcome everyone to the Old West live stream."

Chen Yiyang confidently started his first live streaming session.

After briefly introducing himself as the boss of Old West, he went on to introduce Li Qiqi.

"Hello everyone." After greeting everyone, Li Qiqi started chatting in the live stream, casually introducing the products in the stream.

They only gave simple reviews without exaggerated actions urging everyone to buy.

The traffic attracted by today's live stream was already explosive.

Even placing just a doll here would likely sell a lot.

So Chen Yiyang focused on interviewing Li Qiqi, asking about her experiences and interesting stories while filming videos in the countryside.

Then, the popularity of the live stream quickly hit number one.

A large number of fans, who couldn't find any other channel to know about Li Qiqi, rushed to the live stream once they got the news.

Subsequently, Chen Yiyang's somewhat familiar name was dug up by the audience.

'The boss of Old West seems to be the guy who once set fire to the Paris Goddess Temple.'

Chen Yiyang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this comment.

He hurriedly explained, "Everyone, please refrain from spreading rumors. The official statement clarified that the fire was an accident. I just happened to buy a 3D panoramic model of the Paris Goddess Temple before the fire."

But this explanation only sparked more discussion about the Paris Goddess Temple fire in the comments.

Chen Yiyang knew these viewers tend to have a rebellious nature, and it would take a while for the comments to calm down.

So he arranged for Li Qiqi to leave first, and then he said to the audience.

"Thank you all for coming to the 'Old West' live stream today. Our first guest host, Li Qiqi, has successfully completed her task.

Our second guest host will be arriving shortly, so please hold on for a moment."

Another guest?

As soon as Chen Yiyang finished speaking, the audience became curious.

With a celebrity like Li Qiqi as the first guest, the next guest couldn't be less famous, right?

The audience didn't have to wait long before Chen Yiyang brought on the second guest for today's Old West live stream.

It was none other than the director of "The Wandering Earth," Gong Fan, which not long ago raked in about five billion in the film market.

It was still an interview and chat-style live stream, with some product introductions and reviews in between.

But at this point, the audience really liked this style.

After all, the most famous anchor of Old West, Chenghui, also used to live stream sales in this way.

Compared to other live stream rooms that could be described as hysterical with the way they push sales, this one was indeed a breath of fresh air.

This also allowed many passerby audiences who've never watched a live stream sales room before to quite easily adapt to this style when they clicked in.

If they saw something they could use, they would place an order.

Compared to Li Qiqi, who is currently at the center of all the buzz,

Gong Fan's discussions online had decreased a lot after his movie ended its run.

But Gong Fan's national recognition was still higher than Li Qiqi's.

Coupled with all sorts of legends swirling around him, people were also very curious about him.

So many of the passerby viewers stayed in the live stream after Li Qiqi left, continuing to watch Gong Fan and Chen Yiyang talk about behind-the-scenes stories of the movie.

It was also during this time that they first learned Chen Yiyang had even invested in the movie "The Wandering Earth."

'What is the background of 'Old West's' boss?

He can invite the most mysterious Li Qiqi and also have the director of "The Wandering Earth," Gong Fan, guest on the live stream.

And the most shocking part is, such an explosive lineup wasn't promoted in advance!'

If Li Qiqi was still in the realm of an internet celebrity,

then Gong Fan's appearance brought the live stream's prestige to a whole new level.
