Chapter 624: Weibo Seems to Have Used Up All Its Strength and Tactics

If you must call him a top streamer, Hua Chengyu could only say he's barely considered a top streamer in the music scene.

Among that group of singers, he's relatively high in traffic, but clearly falls far short compared to genuine top-tier contenders.

Not to mention compared to monsters like Bai Liang—even by the usual fan circle metrics like ranking battles and data manipulation, there's a huge crowd who could crush him.

Put more bluntly, even Fuyongwang, who sings the same genre, has far higher popularity than him, even if Fuyongwang's singing skills are genuinely inferior.

But now he's made a sudden breakout, shooting straight to the front of everyone else.

Because he has a child, and no one else does.

How isn't that a kind of win?

It's just that he himself probably doesn't want it.

And because of this incident, someone who was already far behind him now has zero chance of touching the peak of popularity—having a child while chasing popularity is devastating; how can dream girls relate?

Unless he truly unlocks his Ren and Du meridians and becomes the second Zhou Jielun in the Chinese music scene.

Of course, where there's loss, there's gain!

At least Akun really admires him—not that the guy's hiding his talents!

At this moment, Akun looked at Hua Chengyu beside him, who was clearly unraveling, and silently gave him a thumbs-up inside.

Now he finally understood why the guy had been sweating earlier—turns out he'd been holding back such a massive piece of news?

Happiness is always measured by comparison.

Though, when this pairing of theirs was dug up later, it became a joke.

Both of them were brought down by abortion.

Without a doubt, this sudden shock left Hua Chengyu unable to sit calmly any longer.

The surrounding stares made him feel utterly uncomfortable—he felt his appearance tonight was a complete mistake.

He stood up and left.

The Weibo side felt regretful, but also thought it was normal.

If this guy could still sit there calmly without leaving, his mental strength would be absurdly impressive.

But for them, a new problem arose!

Damn it, he's stealing the trending heat!

Just as the Weibo Night ceremony began, Hua Chengyu "exploded"—he hastily left the venue, and shortly after his departure, he replied on Weibo to the girl's long post about their child.

"Yes, we have a child."

The related topic surged violently into the top trending ranks, brutally dominating the top ten.

The gossip crowd: So much drama, bro! Isn't this way more exciting than his crappy songs?

The Weibo Night organizers, however, were numb.

Even the live director went insane, frantically whipping the camera around.

Meng Jie and Evil Kitten had been happily eating popcorn, laughing until their gums showed, when suddenly their faces appeared on the big screen—they froze in shock.

But apparently, they deemed their popularity insufficient; before they could adjust their expressions, the director whipped the camera away—across who-knows-how-far—and slammed it onto Reba's face.

Reba's facial control was now a mess, bordering on split personality.

She'd maintained a cold, solemn aura for hours, but now she was frantically eating popcorn—she didn't even know whether to laugh or keep her composure, and she'd just gotten into another argument with Gu Li Naza, making her expression utterly bizarre.

Put simply: her eyes were smiling, but her mouth was tightly clenched, trying to maintain a cold, aloof look.

After realizing she'd been filmed, she quickly corrected herself—only for the next second to see Naza's face on the big screen.

Naza was even more ridiculous—grinning like an idiot, sticking out her tongue, slightly open-mouthed, clearly visible as her tongue wiggled around, looking ecstatic.

This scene made many in the audience burst out laughing.

Watching her rival and fellow hometown girl like that, Reba felt disdain—what a clumsy tongue, and such a big mouth.

Unlike her, she was especially nimble~

But the next instant, Reba wanted to crawl into a crack in the floor—the damn camera had swung back again!

And at that moment, she was unconsciously doing the exact same thing as Naza.

Hmm, to be fair, her tongue really was much more agile! It just wasn't as long as Naza's.

Bai Liang had plenty of authority on this point.

Director MVP!

Without a single moment of hesitation, after receiving orders from some unknown superior, the Weibo Night director plunged straight into a wild, indiscriminate frenzy.

No sooner had Reba and Naza's drama passed than the director locked onto Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan, sitting far away.

These two guys had gone to absurd lengths to avoid suspicion—they'd practically deleted each other's contact info.

Yet under the Weibo Night camera, it felt as if they absolutely had to kiss to survive the night.

Rivals, CPs, exes—straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual.

No combination was too wild, no person too distant for the camera to lock onto!

But it still didn't help.

Laughable—they couldn't even compete with Hua Chengyu.

"Weibo seems to have used up all its strength, frantically fighting Hua Chengyu for trending heat!"

"On their own turf, they can't even out-trend a single artist?"

"Who still dares say Hua Chengyu isn't a top streamer? I'm the first to object—he's single-handedly taking on a whole army of top streamers~"

"Is the cameraman's hand shaking so hard it's smoking? Just now, the camera kept switching between targets, shaking so wildly it created motion blur."

"Is the crane arm about to snap? Poor director and cameramen—they're really suffering."

"This isn't just using up all their strength—it feels like they've lost all strength and tactics, yet Hua Chengyu still holds the top three trending spots. Maybe you should just tweak the backend data? No shame, really."

"They've been pushed to the brink by Hua Chengyu and Zhang Bicheng."

"In a corner no one was paying attention to, Wang Feng released a new song tonight, hahahahaha."

"Where's Bai Daxian? Save him! This director doesn't know what he's doing — why doesn't he just shove the camera right into Bai Daxian's face?"

"He doesn't seem to be in his seat."

While the director and the on-site cameramen were going crazy, Bai Liang really wasn't at his seat — he had gone backstage to pick up a card, preparing to present an award, since he was making a guest appearance as an award presenter today.

So he didn't even know the area in front had already turned into a complete mess, and even when he went up on stage to present the award, he still didn't sense anything was off.

Not until he sat down.

Bai Liang:???

"No, the kid isn't even mine — why is this camera pointed at me the whole time?"

He thought it over for a long while, wondering if Weibo's side was trying to bully him with the camera? Or trying to find an angle so people could screenshot some ugly photos of him or something?

Bai Liang stared at the camera with a blank, cute, and puzzled look, but the bullet comments were already dying of laughter.

"The Daxian with this kind of expression is such a capybara — does he seriously not know what's going on?"

"So real, this camera is like it's welded to his face. Who were the people who just received the award? Feels like the director barely gave them any screen time, just kept staring at Daxian."

"Good job, director — just keep staring at him like that, don't let go. Cute, want to"
