Chapter 174: Can You Dance?
Tao Tao was not as famous as Bai Zhi, but she had some famous songs. Plus her aura was indie and artful beyond compare, and her voice sounded great too. She was in a great mood and even happily hummed along to her own song. The fickle netizens were bustling once again.
Of course, a few minutes was okay to chat with them, but it was impossible to ask Bai Zhi to hold the phone for an hour and converse with the netizens.
After Meng Fan rehearsed the song a few times, Bai Zhi brought the phone over to him.
“I will not show you guys the content from my rehearsal. Everyone, please come early on the day of the stream.”
Bai Zhi waved and handed the phone over to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan knew he couldn’t stream the content from his rehearsal, and he’d already reached the goal for this afternoon’s stream.
One was to announce his participation in Bai Zhi’s concert. This was something that could increase the cohesiveness of his netizens, as they could watch step by step how their host became a famous person’s concert guest in a qualitative leap. Yes, he’s upgraded and will be honored.
Of course, this kind of validation had to be cultivated, and can’t be formed based off of just one appearance by Bai Zhi, or only her.
Meng Fan had thought about this kind of “cultivation” method before and decided he could do with it.
“Then I’m going to go rehearse if there’s anything else we can talk about it during the evening stream.”
He took the phone and logged off.
Checking the numbers, he had attracted over 300,000 viewers in a short span of time. This made Meng Fan more sure that using celebrities was a fast track way to complete the [Famous Streamer] task.
However, this wouldn’t even compare to the traction streaming the concert would bring.
After all, Bai Zhi had so many fans, they would surely help promote him. She also had the recommendation given by the Tiger Cat streaming platform, so Meng Fan was confident she would get a million views with ease, and maybe even exceed other millions.
Of course, he couldn’t hope to stream a concert as well. But he could allow a celebrity to be on camera once in a while.
The following rehearsal went quite smoothly after Meng Fan became accustomed to the accompaniment from the live band. Meng Fan was able to perform his singing to the best of his abilities. As for the duet, Bai Zhi was very patient and cooperative, so it went smoothly as well.
Two hours later, after the rehearsal ended, he only needed to come in one more time the day before the event for the final rehearsal to become familiar with the routes.
After finishing with everything, Meng Fan finally let out a sigh of relief. Before this, he was more or less a little worried. One, he’d imagined the rehearsal to be more difficult, and two, he was scared to make trouble for Bai Zhi.
Now, based on the reactions of the band members, Meng Fan could confirm he’d made the cut.
After his rehearsal, Bai Zhi had to continue her own. Meng Fan took the chance to chat with Bai Zhi while she was on break, and then prepared to leave.
“Meng boss.”
He was just about to leave when a group entered the event hall. Leading them was Su Qing Cen, and the people who followed seemed to be her full-time dance troupe.
Su Qing Cen calling him Meng boss had come from following his netizens. She thought it was fun to say it.
Su Qing Cen was here for rehearsal as well. Since Bai Zhi had appeared at her concert as a guest, Su Qing Cen was here to return the favor.
Bai Zhi’s concert was small, with only 2000 live audiences, but since it’s being streamed online, the scale wasn’t determined by the audience alone. There would be appearances from not only small name artists but big name ones as well.
The Tiger Cat streaming platform did not treat this lightly either, as the platform had just launched a heavy series project this year, the ‘live streamed concert’. A concert with tens of thousands of people required a large ticket sale, plus with the car wreck that was another famous singer’s streamed concert last year, the Tiger Cat platform was temporary reluctant to host another one, so they began to focus on small scale concerts and music festivals.
Bai Zhi and the Tiger Cat platform had a cooperative relationship. One streamed concert was only a part of it. Her concert with them this time would be Tiger Cat’s third in their series, so they saw it to be very important. They had sent a top tier live stream team and has been promoting it heavily as well.
The Tiger Cat platform was very happy that Bai Zhi was able to invite Su Qing Cen to be a guest star at her concert, even increasing the budget and resources for promotional material.
As for Meng Fan’s sudden addition to the concert, the Tiger Cat platform was already aware. They had a lot of questions, but since they agreed Bai Zhi and her team would have full control regarding the performances—Including guest selection—They could only provide technology and manpower for powering the stream. They had just mentioned the issue to Bai Zhi and were immediately rejected, so they felt quite helpless.
“If I knew you were coming this early to rehearse, I would have come earlier too.”
The dance troupe went off to get ready while Su Qing Cen curiously asked Bai Zhi, “How’s Meng boss’s rehearsal going?”
Bai Zhi laughed. “Real good.”
The three chatted for a while, and when Meng Fan realized the following rehearsal was going to be for the duet between Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen, in addition to a dance routine, he decided he wasn’t going to leave.
Su Qing Cen was a great singer and dancer, so of course, Meng Fan wanted to watch. Plus it was his first time witnessing it from such a close distance. Even closer than at her concert!
Plus, Bai Zhi dancing… Meng Fan anticipated this too!
Speaking of which, Bai Zhi looked really good when she danced. The root was that her figure was great, but it didn’t just refer to her figure, but also the way her body moved about. After all, She was a graduate of a figures class, hence her body posture was very good. Plus, she had great rhythm and coupled with an actress’s unique interpreting skills, she had a certain charm about her when she danced.
Of course, she also worked hard and learned it as well.
They practiced several times, and Meng Fan watched through all of them.
While they were on break, Meng Fan wanted to chat a bit more before leaving. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi descended the stage and asked him, “Can you dance?”
“I can!”
Meng Fan responded and began to laugh. He then performed his thumbs up dance for Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen. The two girls and their dance troupes went insane.
Meng Fan’s ‘Thumbs Up dance’ was already a bit psychotic. Plus his smile appeal and his voice appeal, the magic really became boundless.
Initially, he’d thought they must be tired from rehearsing and he wanted to give them a light hearted laugh. But two minutes later, Meng Fan realized his mistake. How could they rest? Once the laughing fest began, it seemed even more exhausting than rehearsing.
Better leave!
It took Su Qing Cen and the others a long time to recuperate from their laughter after Meng Fan left.
“Sister Bai, this guy is definitely poisonous. You must watch out during your concert! It’s best to tell him not to laugh, otherwise, he’ll take the entire concert astray.” Su Qing Cen said as she rubbed tears from her eyes.
Bai Zhi was still heaving. “If he likes to laugh let him laugh, aren’t we having a good time?”
