The reason is simple: his "Shoutong Treatment Center" video was released after being carefully edited and embellished!
This video was produced by a professional team hired by Zhou Liye.
As the client, his requirements were simple: "Cut out all the embarrassing parts of me, ideally making me appear powerful, fearless, and unafraid of anything..."
The second party readily agreed, until they saw the original, unaltered film.
Party B: "..." Aaaaaaaah!
The contract that would be the most challenging for them in history has emerged.
After more than a week of editing, the video was finally released online.
The original 40-minute program was cut down to just eight minutes of "essential" content.
Each scene transition was edited perfectly, allowing the atmosphere to build step by step—while also conveniently omitting Zhou Liye's tearful face.
The background music, sometimes calm and eerie, sometimes filled with panic, complemented the visuals perfectly—while also effectively masking Zhou Liye's screams and cries.
After the video was released, even the official Blue Star organization joined in the fun.
[Blue Star Studio: Congratulations to Miss Juliet on clearing the 7th Carnival "Healing Hall" for the first time! A certificate is awarded here. //Miss Juliet: Another year of gaming has come to an end! Did any of you brothers and sisters clear the Healing Hall? (Attached: Video)]
Now look what's happened! Flowers are blooming in splendor, and oil is being poured on a raging fire.
The data traffic exploded instantly!
【What?! ...
The moment I saw the image, I threw my phone away, and it cracked...
[Ninth Brother! It's the cult leader's ninth brother! Is a new game coming out?!]
[Wow! I was so scared I was trembling with fear the whole time, clutching my pillow! Is this the legendary healing hall?! I don't believe it! I don't believe this is something a young lady could possibly clear!]
[Holy crap, I never expected the young lady to be so bold. I can't even look at this meme the same way... (Attached image: The young lady crying snot bubbles in front of Hachiko.jpg)]
[Juliet the Queen of Europe! A true iron-blooded man! He could kill a chicken at one, build an airplane at three, drive a tank at five, and wear iron armor at six. A person could stand on his fist, a horse could run on his arm. He could break a boulder with his chest and open a bottle cap with his anus...]
[My worldview has changed a bit... (weakly clutching his chest.jpg)]
[High-energy warning! Do not turn on the video directly! Nuclear energy points: 1 minute 40 seconds, 3 minutes 02 seconds, 5 minutes 21 seconds, 5 minutes 49 seconds, 7 minutes 42 seconds. High-energy points: Entire! High! Energy! Non-combat personnel, please evacuate at lightning speed!]
Looking at these comments, Zhou Liye revealed a smile that was both bittersweet and smug.
Yes, that's right. They cut out all his screams, all for just this tiny bit of vanity...
He, Zhou Liye, is also a tough guy!
No one will ever call him "the queen of the gaming section" again!
However, Zhou Liye did not expect that his outstanding performance (achieving the first clear achievement) would also attract the attention of Blue Star Studio.
Several colleagues in the marketing department submitted a new proposal.
They eagerly went to find Mingyan.
"Was the new promotional video recorded live?"
Mingyan thought about it,
"That's a good idea. However, the genre of horror games limits the number of players who might be suitable for this kind of recording."
The group of friends have already discussed it and happily said, "The number one female host of Fat Cat TV... no, I mean the number one male host, Miss Juliet, would be perfect for it!"
"He was not only the first person to clear the Healing Hall, but also a loyal fan of Blue Star, making him the number one star in the Ming Cult."
“The videos he filmed of the treatment center are of very high quality, and we were inspired by them.”
Miss Juliet?
Busy Boss Ming hasn't had time to watch the videos circulating online yet, but he has heard about this legendary "Iron-Blooded Number One".
—They say he's a man whose "fist can support a person, and whose arm can support a horse"?
That should be fine.
Mingyan nodded: "Okay, let's go and talk to him first."
So, a few hours later.
The agent from Fat Cat TV contacted Zhou Liye again and, via video call, spoke at the top of his lungs:
"By the Emperor of Luck! Please accept my bow!!!"
Zhou Liye looked completely bewildered: "Huh? Please get up quickly, my dear minister, what's wrong?"
The agent was so excited he was trembling, his fat face almost reflecting light, and he kept saying, "Miss... oh, big brother, you're going to be rich, big brother!"
Zhou Liye: "???"
The agent quickly sent the invitation letter with the Blue Star gold badge to Zhou Liye's mobile phone.
"Little gold badge" means a business partner.
Zhou Liye quickly opened and browsed through it, then her mind went completely blank.
The agent also said, "An invitation from Blue Star! To do a promotional video for a new game! He might even appear in it himself! Bro, you're really going to be famous, ten times more famous than before! You truly are a reincarnation of a lucky charm, I'm totally impressed!"
