Chapter 1010

"Where's Yanqing? We want to see Xu Yanqing!"

"Miss Luo Quan, you've been recording programs and livestreaming these past few days; you must be exhausted. Rest early and let Xu Yanqing livestream for us."

………………

As soon as Miss Luo Quan started the broadcast, the fans were clamoring for another person's name, their distinct attitude looking as if they wanted to help Xu Yanqing rise to the top.

"So love really does disappear, right?" Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera and laughed, "Before, you were all begging me to livestream every day, calling me 'Little Sweetheart Luo Bao,' and now that there's a newcomer, I'm 'Madam Niu Miss Luo Quan,' right?

I knew your love couldn't be as everlasting as you said, but I didn't expect the shelf life to be so short."

If it were in the past, netizens might have thought she was really sulking and would definitely speak up to comfort her immediately.

But now, everyone knew she was joking; how could she be angry because of this? You have to know that Xu Yanqing was an artist from her own company; she was probably wishing for her to become popular all over the internet.

However, although the fans knew it in their hearts, they still cooperated and said:

"Looks like Luo Bao has been neglected a bit."

"It's okay, as long as you take a set of swimsuit photos, you're still my main queen."

"Haha, your obsession with swimsuits is really unforgettable, huh?"

"The main thing is that whenever Luo Bao takes swimsuit photos, she brings her employees along, so we'll be able to see Xu Yanqing's swimsuit then."

"So in the end, you've had a change of heart, right?"

"That hurts, old buddy."

………………

In terms of making Miss Luo Quan anxious, the fans' level had always been quite good; it wasn't too aggressive, but at the same time, it was frustrating.

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan herself was maxed out on stress resistance; no matter what the fans said, she just took it as a joke.

And right amidst the teasing, the New Year's Eve Galas of the major satellite TV stations and Bilibili had already begun.

Unlike the Spring Festival Gala, New Year's Eve Galas were basically dominated by song and dance performances, with no language-based programs, and could only maintain ratings by inviting big-name singers and traffic stars.

However, no single station could dominate; the artists who could significantly increase ratings could only be invited by a few, and they were basically arranged to perform as the finale on the eve of the New Year.

In comparison, Bilibili was very lucky; not only did they get Gao Liang's exclusive performance, but they even invited Miss Luo Quan, who hadn't performed on a program for a long time.

When this news was just announced a few days ago, the phones of the department responsible for advertising and investment at Bilibili were blown up, and the most frequent business they received was to secure the advertising time slot before and after Miss Luo Quan's performance.

And in the end, this golden time slot was secured by the wealthy JD. com.

When the time came, it would float across the top of all online viewers' screens in the form of high-level bullet comments, reminding them to enjoy discounts on New Year shopping by going to JD. com.

Although Bilibili promised never to add advertisements at the beginning of the video, to make a profit, accepting advertisements was inevitable, so Bilibili thought of many ways to minimize the impact on the audience's experience while advertising.

This kind of high-level bullet comment was one way, and there was also conducting online lucky draws in the name of advertisers; the effects were all quite good.

"Has it started on Bilibili's side?"

Originally, Miss Luo Quan was watching programs from other satellite stations, but upon hearing the reminder from the bullet comments, she immediately switched back to Bilibili; after all, this was the theme of tonight.

The livestream room for the New Year's Eve Gala was pitch black, with only the audience excitedly typing "Happy New Year"; although it was still a few hours until the New Year, everyone was clearly unable to suppress their excited mood.

Under the spotlight of everyone's attention, the first program of the night began.

As one of the largest communities for young people in China, the programs Bilibili prepared might not be suitable for all ages, but they were definitely the ones that understood their target group the best.

The first program started with a BBOX of the Plants vs. Zombies background music, followed by League of Legends, Dungeon & Fighter, CrossFire, and even Counter-Strike.

These online games, which were familiar to those born in the 80s and 90s, all appeared on the stage in the form of music, bringing a wave of nostalgia to the audience.

In that era when entertainment methods were scarce, these online games, which seemed to have average playability now, had once dominated internet cafes and home consoles at the time.

Perhaps their image quality couldn't keep up with the times now, but they were definitely excellent works that could leave a heavy stroke in the history of online games.

And most of Bilibili's users also grew up playing these games.

Although they might have quit for various reasons now, when they appeared one by one, what they brought besides being moved was only being moved.

And the finale of this performance was a song in the gothic and metal rock style; the original singer was famous for their unique operatic singing style, which had a magnificent epic feel.

And the singer was from the national bel canto team, which could be said to be professionally matched, and the effect presented was also on par with the original singer.

"Damn, is the first program this awesome?"

After watching it, Miss Luo Quan exclaimed that it was really good, and the bullet comments were also flooded with "Awesome, my Bilibili."

It could be seen that although Bilibili's stock encountered a Waterloo, they still put in quite a bit of effort for the New Year's Eve Gala, which was quite attentive.

It's a pity that if they could use this heart on their users, Bilibili's stock wouldn't be in its current state.

However, Miss Luo Quan actually hoped that Bilibili's stock would fall further, falling until "Uncle" lost confidence; if she took over then, the possibility would also be higher.

As for the current stock price, ugly as it was, it could still continue to struggle for a period of time, far from reaching the point of exhaustion.

Just like this, watching the program and commenting, the ending stage of the first chapter of the gala arrived very quickly.

Normally, every chapter would have a heavyweight guest appearing at the end; I don't know who the first one to appear was.

Most of the audience didn't think it was Miss Luo Quan, because she was the recognized highest-status guest at this gala and should wait until the end of the third chapter to appear.

Analyzing along this line of thought, Gao Liang should also appear at that time point.

After all, it had been more than a year since the siblings performed together.

With such a gimmicky topic as "Phoenix Legend," Bilibili had no reason not to do it; they would definitely have the two of them sing together.

So no matter which one of them appeared, the other wouldn't be too far away.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the guest at the end of the first chapter was actually Gao Liang.

He was wearing a gray baseball jacket, walking with a rogue-like swagger, and his attire looked just like an ordinary rapper on the streets of New York.

But the explosive accompaniment on the stage indicated that his upcoming performance would be very unusual.

"I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God

I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God

All my people from the front to the back, nod

All my people from the front to the back, nod

………………"

After singing only two lines, Gao Liang's old fans could confirm that this was a new song.

And ordinary audience members looked at the lyric translation and found it was simply not ordinarily arrogant, actually calling himself a Rap God directly; well, I have to listen to what kind of amazing things you have.

Actually, Miss Luo Quan had written this song for Gao Liang a long time ago.

Originally, she intended to boost her younger brother's popularity, but at that time, Gao Liang felt that he wasn't worthy of what the lyrics sang.

As a rapper, what he played was being real.

If he hadn't reached that level, he naturally couldn't sing it openly, so he had been suppressing it and not releasing it.

And with his skills constantly improving over the past few years, as well as continuously releasing new works, Gao Liang felt it was time to use a song to confirm his status.

And the first thing he thought of was this "Rap God" that his older sister wrote for him.

When the song was written, although he didn't intend to release it, he practiced it immediately.

Even for his skills, the difficulty of this song was ridiculously high; singing more than 1,500 words in six minutes, with the fastest part singing more than 100 words in 15 seconds.

It was precisely in this part that he practiced until he was out of breath several times.

But precisely because the difficulty was huge, as long as he mastered it, it would inevitably become his career masterpiece.

So Gao Liang hadn't put down his practice of this song these days; by now, he wouldn't dare say he knew the lyrics by heart, but he was definitely very familiar with them.

The Bilibili New Year's Eve stage was the premiere of this song; although it was pre-recorded, his pressure didn't decrease at all, because he intended to do it in one take. If a mistake occurred, he could certainly redo it, but in his heart, it was equivalent to a stage accident.

So Gao Liang's expression when he went on stage was very serious and nervous; fans familiar with him knew that Gao Liang's stage presence was full of rogue-like swagger and usually had a cheeky smile; it was really rare to see him so serious like today.

But after the song started, they understood why Gao Liang's expression was so serious.

Because the speed of this song was really not ordinarily fast; one could only see Gao Liang's lips flipping up and down, the translation at the bottom of the screen scrolling non-stop, and each sentence was longer than the last.

Other songs' lyrics would only occupy one row, only Gao Liang's song would occupy two rows, just to give the audience enough time, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to read it at all.

But this kind of measure could only be applied to ordinary situations; when the song reached four and a half minutes, the speed of the translation couldn't keep up with the speed of Gao Liang's articulation.

However, while Gao Liang was fast, his articulation was also very clear, although most of the audience couldn't understand what he was singing.

But being fast to this extent, just shouting "awesome" was enough.

"Damn, my brother-in-law is really awesome, no wonder he can be a mentor."

"Is this sung live? I feel like my lungs are going to explode just listening to it; Gao Liang can actually sing it completely without mistakes?"

"What do you mean 'Gao Liang can actually'? He is an internationally recognized new rap king."

"You wouldn't really be fooled by his abstract humor, thinking he's the same kind of person as those internet streamers, right?"

"He has several Grammys, and in recent years, he has swept all the major awards in the rap category; in terms of popularity and technique, no human under forty is his opponent."

"Except for his sister, because his sister doesn't belong to the human category."

"Luo Bao is of course not human, she's a fragrant fairy."

"Tone it down."

………………

With the fans' banter, Miss Luo Quan's livestream room had always been quite witty and interesting.

And after Gao Liang's high-energy "Rap God" ended, the lights on the New Year's Eve stage went out completely.

Everyone thought this was a transitional stage for the end of a chapter, but suddenly a spotlight shone down, illuminating a figure dressed in bright red.

"Damn, Luo Bao!"

"Appearing so soon?"

"This bright red evening gown is too festive."

"Beautiful, feels like her figure has gotten even better."

"Is Phoenix Legend finally going to re-emerge in the world?"

………………

That's right, the Bilibili New Year's Eve Gala finally achieved the achievement that many galas dreamed of, which was letting "Phoenix Legend" perform on stage.

As the group with the fewest collaborations but the highest video views in history, every duet by the siblings Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang was at a level that could shock international media.

Just as Miss Luo Quan appeared on stage, the traffic in the livestream room on YouTube doubled, and it wouldn't be long before trending searches appeared on Twitter.

The two sang the most representative "Love the Way You Lie," which was a must-have song for duets.

Although there was only this one song, it made the fans on both sides extremely excited.

Because the number of times the siblings collaborated was really too few.

On one hand, they were lazy and didn't like to perform on stage.

On the other hand, it was also because one lived in the United States and the other lived in China.

If it weren't for Gao Liang coming to China for a vacation this time, it would still be impossible to see the two of them collaborate.

The pity was that the wonderful duet only lasted for this one song.

After performing two segments, Gao Liang left the stage to his older sister.

The host first chatted for a bit to divert everyone's attention, and then Miss Luo Quan appeared on stage again.

This time, she was wearing a golden cheongsam.

As a two-dimensional community, how could it work without some two-dimensional elements?

So for her second segment, Miss Luo Quan brought the enduring classic to the audience—"Gokuraku Jodo."

Although "Gokuraku Jodo" was originally performed in a kimono when it first came out, on the domestic New Year stage, one still had to use traditional clothing, and the cheongsam became the best choice.

"Damn, I just quit for a month."

"You guys can quit for a month; I can't even quit for a week."

"It's been a long time since I saw Luo Bao dance Jodo; just thinking about those white, long legs~~~"

"Hehe, didn't you guys just shout that you wanted to see Xu Yanqing?"

"Damn, fans from Luo Bao's livestream room ran to the New Year's Eve Gala?"

"Always dual-wielding, double bombardment, double happiness."

………………

Miss Luo Quan hadn't expected that her own fans would run to the New Year's Eve Gala livestream room to chat.

If it were another star being this disruptive, they would mostly be scolded.

But if it were Miss Luo Quan, then it wouldn't matter.

After all, she possessed the highest treatment and immunity to all disruptive behavior on Bilibili.

However, as the music started, Miss Luo Quan began to dance.

The bullet comments that were still teasing basically became unified, all being "nice legs," "so white."

The cheongsam Miss Luo Quan wore didn't have a particularly high slit.

But because of the dance movements, every time she lifted her leg, it actually revealed more than the kimono.

And as the amplitude of the dance steps increased, Miss Luo Quan's snow-white, long legs also began to reveal their edge.
