Chapter 173: Live Accompaniment

“Bai Zhi?!”

“What’s going on!”

“Guest appearance at a concert?”

“This is too much information!”

“Let me buffer for a moment!”

“What kind of presence does Meng fatty have?!”

“…”

Soon, the number of viewers in the stream reached 10,000 and then continued to soar.

In this day and age, it wasn’t strange to see a celebrity stream. Various websites and APPs on different platforms often hosted celebrities and their streams. After all, we have entered an era of national streaming, with various capitals floating about the market. The money raised by these platforms is fully enough to invite celebrities to use their stream.

Moreover, live streams have a market and are popular as well. Plus, streaming could attract popularity and increase exposure. Hence, several celebrities are willing to participate in the stream.

However, after the initial novelty and its normalization, even after some celebrities began promoting their streams, it was still difficult to attract a large viewer base. In the end, it was just their own fans watching them, alongside a few netizens.

The reason was simple. After all, the most important thing about live streaming in this form of entertainment is interaction. In general—regardless if they’re famous or not—most celebrities can let go of their image, but they can’t let loose completely. They have too much emotional baggage and an image to maintain, and they were hesitant. Not only was it difficult to be down to earth, but the feeling of real interaction was also lacking. From the perspective of a viewer, they are not as interesting as actual streamers.

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, those who play video games, or ones with grounded character, who are very honest and straightforward…

Some time ago, a platform invited a female actress to share her shopping experience and recommend some products. The actresses who wore high priced items, which was aligned to their own net worth, would recommend clothing and cosmetics to their netizens and describe their usage. It sounded pretty down to earth.

Then a female celebrity who had a bad taste in men suddenly very seriously recommended a bag in the 6 digit price point, sharing that when buying diamonds you should not buy any under 1 carat because ‘anything under one carat can be considered wasted dust’, and was not worth any money… Although the netizens may not be able to afford everything that’s recommended to them, because it revealed the real consumption habits of an actress, she actually drew a lot of stress.

Having said that, after the first wave of interest towards celebrity streaming, it became difficult for celebrities to rely on streaming to gather fans. However, streaming was still a good way for stars to self promote. They wouldn’t give up the channel just because it was hard to gain fans. There are still many celebrities participating in these streaming events.

Of course, on the contrary, the attitude of the netizens towards these celebrities is not so enthusiastic.

It was interesting that these celebrities and their companies and their powerful promotions were not appreciated by the netizens. But when someone like Bai Zhi suddenly appears on the screen, it made many netizens’ hearts skip!

Why?

Of course, the accidental factor was one reason, another was that the subconscious would assume a sudden appearance would be more real, rather than a promotional appearance after being packaged—Even if the appearance was sudden and there was no difference.

Of course, there was another important reason; that was because Bai Zhi appeared in her “element”.

To make an inappropriate comparison, it’s like when you are not interested in a celebrity, no matter how famous they are, but when one appears in your hometown, no matter how well known or not, you are sure to pay more attention!

And Bai Zhi was pretty well known!

Immediately, they all rushed to tell each other, as if they discovered something abnormal.

“Whoa, my Bai goddess! She’s so beautiful!”

“Bai goddess looks so good in such a simple outfit!”

“Bai Zhi’s figure is too good!”

“She looks so good without makeup, and her skin is glowing!”
