Chapter 175 - Unexpected Gains (2/2)

The following day, Meng Fan rushed to watch Bai Zhi’s rehearsal in the afternoon, practicing by himself once again, then during dinner… He streamed dinner with Bai Zhi.

The next day was Bai Zhi’s dress rehearsal the day before her concert.

During rehearsal, all the lights were in place and Meng Fan arrived in the morning. He was mainly there to practice his positioning. In the afternoon, they followed a regular concert procedure and rehearsed one more time.

Su Qing Cen was there, and so was Tao Tao. Hence after the rehearsal, dinner was another round of “mukbang”, or food stream. But this time, the content wasn’t them chatting. Instead, it was a promotional stream for the concert at 7:30 pm the next day.

This time, it wasn’t just Bai Zhi giving Meng Fan face, but legitimate publicity. Bai Zhi didn’t even believe it herself. In the last few days, Meng Fan’s stream had mysteriously become one of the most important promotional windows for the streamed concert.

Bai Zhi’s talent company and the Tiger Cat platform also had been promoting the event, but they could only be considered as official announcements, while Meng Fan’s stream was a “small scale message distribution center”. All kinds of interesting and unofficial news were sent from there.

And the result was surprisingly great too. Most of the topics on Weibo related to #baizhiconcertstream were mostly be attributed to Meng Fan’s stream.

There weren’t many people watching his stream, a couple hundred thousand at most, but there were several video clips regarding the stream floating around on Weibo. They were all forwarded and shared a high number of times; that kind of number couldn’t be compared to his live viewer count.

If Bai Zhi didn’t tell Meng Fan of these posts, he’d still have no clue!

Meng Fan could only attribute these unexpected gains to his large presence.

The day of the concert was November 5th.

When Meng Fan’s morning class ended, he headed straight for the Hangzhou music hall. After dinner, they engaged in one final rehearsal, mostly to test out the venue’s equipment.

Around four in the afternoon, the concert began to get busy. Meng Fan started his makeup at 5:00 pm. Eh, at this hour? Meng Fan couldn’t oppose them since he knew how important makeup was to appear on TV.

Don’t assume male celebrities don’t wear makeup. In most cases, male celebrity makeup was even more… thicker than female celebrity makeup. It had nothing to do with being prissy, even if you were the wolf warrior you still had to wear makeup, just not that refined at all. It was mostly for the camera anyways.

Meng Fan’s makeup was rather simple too. It only deepened his facial lines, eyebrows, and added some highlights to the protruding areas of his face—yes, Meng Fan’s face at this stage had a figure! His double chin was gone, and looking closely, he kind of had a jawline!

Meng Fan’s current image was already very attractive in reality. Floating in the camera, because of his photogenic appeal, he was closing in on the borders of being handsome.

It was six in the afternoon when Qin Jiao drove up to the female dormitory and rolled down her window, speaking to the girls waiting for her. “Is everyone here? Four of you that’s perfect, it might be a squeeze through.”

Wu Tong, Wang Ya Nan, Wei Zhi Xue, and another girl embarked on the car as they drove towards the music hall.

Meng Fan had asked Bai Zhi for five concert tickets, giving three to his roommates, one to Wu Tong, and the last one to Qin Jiao.

Since the brazen mouthed Zhang Zhou Wei wanted to escape the library tonight, he had flaunted to Wang Ya Nan his concert ticket, telling her he’d be busy in the evening. Shortly after, his ticket came into the possession of Wang Ya nan.

Then, it took only one Wechat message from Wang Ya Nan to Wei Zhi Xue for Chen Da Qiang to also present his ticket on a silver platter.

As for Xing Ta Ge, his current girlfriend wasn’t acquainted with Wei Zhi Xue and Wang Ya Nan, but he’d given her his ticket anyways. Since Chen Da Qiang and Zhang Zhou Wei weren’t going, it was boring to go alone anyways.
