"Everyone, I'm dedicating this song 'Miss Dong' to all of you! I hope you like it."
"Miss Dong, you never forget your smile, even if you are like me, yearning for aging."
"Miss Dong, you look beautiful even when the corners of your mouth turn downward..."
At first, Xu San didn't think the song 'Miss Dong' was particularly good, finding it a bit too bland.
But gradually, Xu San became almost obsessed, especially when he heard the line, "Falling in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie, this makes me feel desperate... Miss Dong!" Xu San unconsciously put himself in the song.
The song ended quickly, but Xu San felt it wasn't enough. He rewound the video and listened to it three times in a row before he sighed and continued watching.
"Speaking of birthdays, I remember once a female friend had a birthday. I and three other guys agreed to send her a 'Happy Birthday' text message at midnight, one character each. I was assigned the second character, but until the next day... they didn't send anything, only I sent a '日' (ri) to her. From then on, well, no more words, just tears!"
"Ha!" Xu San, who had been feeling a bit melancholic from listening to 'Miss Dong,' burst out laughing at this joke.
"Long ago, there was Zhou Gong interpreting dreams, and today, Xiao Zhu will interpret names for everyone."
"For example, our guardian, 'Egg's Sorrow.' From the surface, you might think it means a faint sorrow, but it's just a typo. Today, Xiao Feng will tell you that 'Egg' is not a typo! It has a story! Listen carefully as Xiao Feng explains."
Seeing this, Xu San was also curious about how Tang Feng would interpret the name.
"During the Warring States period, there was a famous military strategist named Sun Bin. But you might not know that his original name wasn't Sun Bin, but Sun Lingbo. Because he was betrayed by his senior, Pang Juan, and suffered cruel torture, his kneecaps were removed, hence he was called Sun Bin. Similarly, our guardian, 'Egg's Sorrow,' his original name definitely wasn't 'Egg's Sorrow,' so you understand, right?"
"I... Ha!" Xu San burst out laughing this time. In fact, when he heard "his kneecaps were removed, hence he was called Sun Bin," Xu San automatically filled in the rest and burst out laughing.
"Egg's Sorrow! Ha! Poor kid!" Xu San laughed and shook his head.
He continued watching.
"Let's change the topic. Everyone knows the character '夫' (fu) in 'husband,' right? Don't tell me your elementary school Chinese teacher was a PE teacher. Ah, ignorance is truly terrifying!"
"Do you know why a husband needs to earn money to support the family? Actually, the ancients thought of this when they created the character. If you write '夫' upside down, you'll know!"
Seeing this part, Xu San was a bit puzzled but quickly laughed. Writing '夫' upside down is the symbol for '¥' (yuan).
How could he think of that? No wonder he could set records.
"Hmm, speaking of couples, I saw a news story today about a coal tycoon's wedding, where the cost of fireworks alone exceeded a million yuan. You must think this rich guy is just showing off, right? Today, Xiao Feng will tell you, you're wrong! Completely wrong. You don't understand the profound meaning behind the million-yuan fireworks."
Seeing this, Xu San naturally knew that Tang Feng's words couldn't be understood like a normal person's. He couldn't help but think about it, curious about what Tang Feng would say next.
"Do you know where the custom of setting off fireworks comes from? According to legend, in ancient times, there was a monster called 'Xi.' On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, it would come out and devour livestock and harm people. So on that night, people would try to get rid of 'Xi.' That's why the last day of the year is called 'New Year's Eve.' How was 'Xi' driven away? By fireworks. So what is the purpose of setting off fireworks?"
"To drive away what you fear and the unknown. So at weddings... hehe... fireworks are also set off! You don't understand the world of the rich. You think the million-yuan fireworks are just for showing off? Wrong. I suggest we all mourn for this rich guy for three seconds!"
"Ah, Ha! So setting off fireworks at weddings can be explained like this! Truly talented!"
Xu San laughed uncontrollably, bursting into laughter every few minutes. By the time the entire stand-up comedy video ended, Xu San was back to his senses, amazed that an hour had passed without him noticing.
For nearly forty minutes, it was almost all laughs, with no moment to rest. This live stream was truly amazing. Even compared to other variety and entertainment shows, this live stream video was far superior.
The executives of Starlight Show must be out of their minds, Xu San couldn't help but curse. Tang Feng was so awesome, yet he was banned from Starlight, leaving Xu San with no place to watch his live streams.
The video was over, but Xu San hadn't had enough of the songs. He wondered if the two songs had been uploaded. Soon, he found the answer on Reku Music, where he paid and downloaded the songs. Many people like Xu San did the same.
The next day, a wave of public opinion swept the internet.
One was about Youdou Video, and the other was about the two songs. But these two hot topics were both created by the same person, Tang Feng.
Especially the click rate of the Tang Feng stand-up comedy video, which reached over four million in 24 hours. The results were astonishing, even to Tang Feng himself, who never expected such a frenzy.
On Reku Music, Tang Feng's two songs both entered the top ten of the new songs chart in less than 24 hours.
Internet Entertainment: On January 7th, a live stream video from a show created over four million views in 24 hours, with over ten thousand comments. The term 'stand-up comedy' became the fastest-rising buzzword of the day. It is reported that the live stream once set a record of over thirty times the audience capacity on Starlight Show, and the two opening songs swept the new songs of the same period on Reku.
New Min Entertainment: "Tang Feng's Stand-up Comedy," created by the show host Feng Shao, broke four million views in less than 24 hours, sweeping all major variety shows. His two original songs entered the top ten of the new songs chart on Reku Music in less than 24 hours.
Youdou Entertainment: Recently, the "Tang Feng's Stand-up Comedy" video on Youdou Video reached four million views in 24 hours, setting a single-video daily view record. It is reported that the host, Tang Feng, has joined the upcoming Youdou Show.
...
The unexpected success of "Tang Feng's Stand-up Comedy" made Yang Baichuan and Yu Shengnu of Youdou Video extremely excited. The popularity of the two songs also earned Liu Jie, the editor of Reku Music, a special commendation. On the other side, Starlight Show was in a mess. The company's stock continued to fall due to negative news. Moreover, after Yan Jianghua met with Tang Feng the day before, Starlight Show received a court summons, as Tang Feng had sued them.
What made Starlight Show even more depressed was that the 315 Consumer Rights Protection Center sent a letter of inquiry, as several of Tang Feng's guardians had jointly sued Starlight Show to the 315.
