Chapter 23

【……】

In the apartment.

Li Ran was completely dumbfounded.

In the phone in her hand.

The female department head had stopped saying "hello? hello? hello?"

She, too, was listening to the singing coming through the livestream room.

The female department head had arranged for Li Ran to come to this livestream room as a lurker.

All to capture this very moment.

She just hadn't expected that they really would capture it!

The streamer's singing came out through the livestream room, then through the phone, and reached the ears of the female department head on the other end.

She didn't say another word.

She just listened quietly.

The streamer's singing was drawing to a close.

【……】

【Why did you take me on the most unforgettable journey】

【And then leave behind the most painful souvenir】

【……】

Li Ran.

At this moment, had been, by the scene before her eyes on the livestream room,

utterly stunned.

This...

What kind of bewitching scene is this?

These bullet comments!

What's wrong with them?!

These viewers sending bullet comments!

What's wrong with them?!

The bullet comments were clearly perfectly normal before.

How did the whole style suddenly change like this?!

This livestream room.

This streamer Brother Shiguang's livestream room!

At this time — two in the morning!

Had, without anyone directing it, along with the melody of Brother Shiguang's song, abruptly turned into a wall of emotional monologues from the viewers!

Every single person was frantically sending bullet comments.

The bullet comments they sent were all their own love histories!

Some were happy, but most were sorrowful!

Some were joyful, but most were heartbroken!

There were even furious curses, but also tender memories...

Li Ran only felt that she, tonight,

through these countless bullet comments,

like silhouettes,

had seen the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions of an entire generation....

21. (500 votes extra update 1/2) This will shake the entire Eastern Nation's Chinese-language music scene!

In Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

Because of this streamer named Brother Shiguang.

Singing and playing this song himself at two in the morning.

The late-night viewers of this livestream room had their defenses completely broken.

Many people began posting their own emotional experiences in the livestream room's bullet comments.

Many of them had seen others posting.

A strange desire to be seen by others began to linger in their hearts.

And so they followed suit and posted theirs too.

This song seemed to have a kind of magic.

It made those who heard it, at this two in the morning, finally stop their wildly rushing footsteps, and begin to face the softest place deep within their hearts that had always been hidden, always too afraid to look squarely at..

After finishing the song, Brother Shiguang set down his guitar.

Not a single unnecessary word, not a single extra expression.

He turned around and went to take a shower.

In the livestream room, bullet comments continued to pour out endlessly.

But right after, someone noticed the streamer was going to take a shower.

One guy had just typed out a sentence:

【Whoa! Is our Brother Shiguang even gonna livestream his shower?】

Before he could send it out.

The livestream room closed.

Thirty thousand viewers were kicked out again with a single stomp…

The streamer didn't even say goodbye.

But tonight, the viewers opened their hearts to one another.

In all livestream history, this was a first.

And these viewers, gathered from all corners of the world by a stroke of fate, hadn't even had time to exchange another greeting.

Everything came to an abrupt halt.

Ning Chen decided: tonight.

He'd spend the night right in the RV.

The RV was on East Bashan Mountain.

Tianyin Music Company building.

Sixth floor.

A few offices, blazing with light.

The small conference room in the middle.

Li Ran and seven or eight colleagues were already seated.

Waiting for the head of the Planning Department.

Click-clack, click-clack, click-clack—the percussion of high heels echoed down the corridor.

The instant the conference room door was pushed open, the voice arrived before the person:

"Shark Fang can't reach this streamer either—this is a big headache, but also an opportunity—"

Before the words had finished.

Planning Department head Fang Lan, with big wavy curls and a fitted black women's blazer, strode straight in.

Then she smiled at Li Ran. "Ranran, you've worked hard."

Li Ran nodded.

Fang Lan looked at everyone. "Right now, we have the complete videos of two songs from this streamer, Shiguang."

"And the biggest problem at the moment is that we can't reach this streamer."

"If we can't reach him, we can't sign him, plan for him, or carry out any subsequent packaging and development." a subordinate said.

"Indeed so." Fang Lan smiled. "However, we can start by opening up traffic channels for his two songs."

"Minister's meaning is, put these two songs out first?"

"Exactly!" Fang Lan said. "In other words, we're proactively acting as this streamer's manager."

"These two songs—as long as they ride multiple traffic channels and are presented to the market, they will undoubtedly go massively viral!"
