"Wait and see!" Dong Bingbing said with a light laugh, her eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint!
Tang Feng was completely unaware of this. After leaving Dong Bingbing, he began to plan for the live broadcast. As for Dong Bingbing, Tang Feng was confident in the song he had given her. It wasn't that the song was bad; on the contrary, it was a good song that had been quite popular in his previous life. However, the style of the song was vastly different from Dong Bingbing's image.
Therefore, although Tang Feng was somewhat secretly looking forward to Dong Bingbing actually singing the song, he also knew that it was almost impossible. Dong Bingbing was an award-winning actress and a top-tier star, always giving off a powerful, noble, and cold beauty vibe. If she were to suddenly change, the risks involved were something Tang Feng believed Dong Bingbing wouldn't overlook.
Thus, he didn't even mention this to his few close friends, as he didn't believe that Dong Bingbing was really interested in acting in his short drama. It was just a small revenge for her not recognizing him.
Sure enough, Dong Bingbing never contacted Tang Feng afterward. Clearly, the song had scared the award-winning actress.
January 20, 2007, 6:00 PM!
"Ms. Yu, how's it going? Everything set?" Tang Feng asked over the phone.
"Yep, everything's ready! When the time comes, the technical staff will arrange for the people on your list to appear on video in order!" Yu Shengnan said.
"Great! Thanks, Ms. Yu!" Tang Feng said.
"Don't be so formal, you're the mainstay of our show now. Who else would we help if not you?" Yu Shengnan joked.
"Alright, I won't talk to you more. I need to prepare for the live broadcast!" Tang Feng shook his head and said.
"Hold on, there's something... never mind... it's nothing!" Yu Shengnan ultimately didn't reveal what it was.
Tang Feng didn't think much of it, hung up the phone, and began preparing for the live broadcast.
On the other side, Yu Shengnan put down the phone with a strange expression, a mix of excitement and worry, but mostly peculiar.
Earlier, Dong Bingbing's agent had approached her, asking her to arrange for Dong Bingbing to appear on the show and to keep it confidential, even from Tang Feng. This made Yu Shengnan very suspicious. Could it be that Dong Bingbing and Tang Feng really had something going on? Otherwise, why would an award-winning actress come to Tang Feng's show and request confidentiality?
The excitement came from Dong Bingbing's influence. Given that she and Tang Feng were rumored to be a couple, her appearance in Tang Feng's live broadcast would undoubtedly be the headline news the next day.
The worry was that Dong Bingbing's intentions were unclear. If she was there to harm Tang Feng, then keeping it a secret from him would be risky!
However, she ultimately decided to take the risk. From Dong Bingbing's previous responses to the media, it seemed they might know each other, and perhaps there was something between them. But it didn't seem like they had any grudges, so it was unlikely she would do anything to harm Tang Feng.
Before the live broadcast, Tang Feng had given Yu Shengnan the Youdou Show IDs of the selected candidates. For this live broadcast, Tang Feng couldn't handle everything himself, so it was best to let the Youdou Show technical staff arrange the order.
Moreover, during the interviews, he would need assistance, sometimes interviewing two people at once.
Actually, many people had submitted resumes, but after screening, only a few dozen remained. A few hours in the evening would be more than enough.
Opening the live streaming companion app, adjusting the microphone and camera, and completing all the preparations, Tang Feng started the live broadcast.
As the saying goes, "A man who has been away for three days should be regarded with new eyes." This was exactly the case with Tang Feng. Compared to before, his live broadcast now started with over 300,000 viewers online. After his first live broadcast on Youdou Show, Youdou had prepared a dedicated server for Tang Feng to prevent the broadcast from being interrupted due to the large number of viewers.
"Hello everyone, nice to see you again!" Tang Feng greeted the audience.
"Mr. Feng, you look even more handsome!"
"Mr. Feng, are you singing tonight?"
"Mr. Feng, what's the name of the web series?"
...
The audience's reaction was incredibly enthusiastic. As soon as Tang Feng appeared, the chat screen was flooded with messages.
Tang Feng was already used to this and smiled, "The script for the web series is mostly written and is being refined. Tonight's live broadcast is different from the previous ones; it's for the online interviews for the actors of the web series."
"Due to time constraints, I won't be singing tonight. This web series is a new type of web comedy, which I call a 'fragmented web comedy.' You can also think of it as a funny short series. The name of the series is 'Diao Si Men Shi' (Mr. Loser)."
Piggy: "Wow, what a cool name! Strong support!"
Piggy Babe: "Mr. Feng, why 'men'? Why not 'women'? Protest, strong protest!"
Innocent Hunter: "From the name, Mr. Feng is indeed a fighting loser!"
Naming Is Hard 6666: "Naming is so hard, Mr. Feng, please give some advice!"
...
The loyal fans started to comment, and most of the audience expressed their anticipation for the series.
"Alright, no more small talk. First, I want to thank Youdou Show for their support. For this online interview, the Youdou technical team has modified our live room. See the two windows below? The technical staff will arrange for the candidates on the list to appear on video, and we will conduct the interviews live."
The Youdou Show technical staff quickly brought the first candidate onto the video.
Tang Feng opened the first candidate's resume: Ma De Kai, male, 27 years old, graduated from the Beijing Drama and Art Vocational College, Performance major... Youdou Show ID: Silly Lion.
Ma De Kai greeted Tang Feng and the audience confidently.
"Hello Mr. Feng, hello everyone, I'm Ma De Kai, Youdou ID Silly Lion. You can also call me Lion."
In terms of appearance, Ma De Kai wasn't outstanding, but he fit the character of 'Diao Si Men Shi' well. Although he graduated from a less prestigious school, he was still a professional, at least more so than Tang Feng.
"Hello, Brother Lion! You're here to audition for the lead role, right?" Tang Feng asked, getting straight to the point.
"Yes!" Ma De Kai replied.
"Alright, you should know that our web series is called 'Diao Si Men Shi.' Many people call themselves 'losers,' but many aren't really. Since our series is called 'Mr. Loser,' if you had to prove in one sentence that you are a loser, what would you say? Everyone else can think about this too."
"Haha, I'll go first. Who dropped that cigarette butt? So uncivilized! Pick it up and have a smoke!"
"If you're doing well, I'll be the backup forever. If you're pregnant, I'll be the dad!"
"Goddess, I miss you so much my hand hurts!"
"I'll give it a try! Bought a condom, unopened, expired!"
...
Seeing the rapid scrolling of messages on the chat screen, Tang Feng was amazed. Indeed, the creativity of netizens was boundless. Some of the lines even made him almost burst out laughing.
