Chapter 176 - The Trainwreck Came All Too Sudden (2/2)
Someone like Bai Zhi, who had won the best actress in one out of the top five awards for Chinese cinema, and participated in multiple TV dramas and sang several chart-toppers could be considered a top candidate for a person dominating all three industries.
Furthermore, anyone who could win five famous film awards, a few mainstream TV female lead awards, produced five albums and five songs that were top of the charts… Aside from the few Hong Kong gods, and oh right, and Taiwan’s Liu Ruo Ying, nobody else had these titles altogether.
Of course, it was difficult for Bai Zhi to continue improving. However, she was still young, and it seems she can continue to develop in all three aspects of film, television, and music. After gaining some experience, she might just settle down and focus on one industry.
“The world is too small, and we are fated to be, it’s a pleasure to meet…The gossip, rumors, I know what you said…”
The first song Bai Zhi performed was “I know”, one of her most well-known songs that have rotted the streets in the last few years. It wasn’t a derogatory term; the music literally broke the speakers playing it on the stores along the streets.
After singing the first song, Bai Zhi greeted the audience and chatted a bit before beginning the second song. The second one was a slow song where Bai Zhi sat at the piano and sang in a serene fashion.
After the concert stream began, the number of viewers in the channel suddenly shot up to nearly 4.5 million.
Bai Zhi then sang five songs in a row before introducing her first guest, Tao Tao. Tao Tao and Bai Zhi sang one of Bai Zhi’s songs together, and then Bai Zhi stepped down to change costumes and rest. Tao Tao had brought her own guitar and performed one of her famous songs.
Tao Tao was a folk singer with distinctive characteristics. Only, it wasn’t very market-friendly. Her fanbase was small, and although her songs were popular, she herself was not. Many people heard her songs and realized she was the original singer, but in a moment they could only remember the song and not the artist.
Meng Fan was the second guest of the concert. After Tao Tao performed two more songs alone, Bai Zhi went up once more to perform four songs before inviting Meng Fan up.
At this time, there were over 5.3 million viewers in the channel. They had completed the Tiger Cat platform’s set target.
Based on these numbers, if Meng Fan got up there, he should be able to gain experience from 5 million viewers. That was a good number; it was the equivalent of a dozen live streams on his channel!
Of course, Meng Fan only had time for two songs. If it took too long, there’d be more people coming in and out of the stream, and he’d gain more views.
Whoosh!
The backstage staff brought Meng Fan to the entrance position, while another staff member came over to fix his clothing and makeup. Meng Fan, who wasn’t nervous to begin with, suddenly felt the nerves when they began operating on him in such a way.
“….Where is your gentleness, I don’t want to hide.”
Bai Zhi wasn’t done her first line when a short interlude began. At the sound of the drumbeat, Meng Fan had been counting too, and he entered the song on time. The song was affectionate, his voice was charming, and as he walked out, he could be considered appealing, although he was a bit large. He was even more attractive on stream because of his photogenic appeal.
The two looked at each other and began to sing the chorus, “Secret love is not a long-term strategy, your eyes can’t keep secrets from me….”
There was a high note here, and Meng Fan, who was being dearly gazed at by Bai Zhi while holding her hand, with no stage experience at all, experienced a voice crack. By accident, his high note had broke, and the sound was overwhelming!
The trainwreck came all too sudden!
