TLN: Under a trantion spree! Whelp that makes up for the missed out chapterst week! Btw I do look at each and everyment, and it really does make me appreciate the work I’m doing. Hope you enjoy! ?
Myppy is dying at 7% OMG!
Lu Chen sang another two songs once he returned on stage.
He did not sing <<You Who Sat Next to Me>> nor <<Cindere> but instead opted for another two love songs that he was good at and gained many ps and donations. Shortly after, he went down the stage and conversed with several regrs table.
"Xiao Lu, the two songs you sang initially is superb!"
An old customer sigh in admiration. "It is also well written with talent!. If I were to open a recordpany, I would definitely sign you on!"
Customers sitting at the same tableughingly said. "Nowadays good original works are very rare! Listening to those young idols, boy groups or girl groups and they’re all singing Western, Japanese and Korean songs... seems as if the styles had came from the same mold...
"I know right! Truly good music still originates from the eighties and nies.
"Haha, It’s better to say it’s nostalgic, else others would say you are out of date!"
"Well, you can’t put it this way, after all everyone’s taste is different..."
Most of the time Lu Chen was listening while asionally adding a few sentences. The atmosphere in Forget Grass bar has always been pretty good and the rtionship between the singers and customers are harmonious. Everyone sat together to chat as if old friends without any sort of pressure.
Realizing it’ll be 10 o’clock soon, Lu Chen stood up and left while the customers did not urge him to stay.
Forget Grass bar usually operates during the night and the golden timeslot is around 11PM to 2AM. However these timeslots are usually reserved for contracted singers while Lu Chen no longer needed to work as a server, thus he was not required to stay.
At the financial department in the bar, he received his performance fees.
Resident singers sry and donations are paid on the day itself. Tonight Lu Chen has sung a total of 5 songs, 1 song pays about 30 yuan while 5 songs would be 150 yuan. The bigger pay that came from the donations, having entitled 70% of it earned him 2150 yuan.
The amount of money Lu Chen earned tonight was 2300 yuan.
If he has this sort of ie everyday, it won’t be a dream of having a monthly earning of 10 thousands, but this was clearly impossible.
The customer base of Forget Grass bar does not include rich second generations and the donations were all rationally given. The reason why Lu Chen could earn 2000+ tonight, main bulk of it was due to his extreme change in singing style coupled with the fresh experience and deeply touching of his two original works.
However impulses tend not tost. Therefore, under normal situations, his monthly earnings would at most be 10000 plus. If he wanted to earn more, he would have to visit other bars to perform.
Purely based on ie, as long as bar singers have a standard venue, it can be considered pretty good. At least there won’t be a problem to staying in the capital where every inch ofnd is as if gold.
Whereas the problem of being in this line was that rarely people would be able to stay here for long. Many people came for their dreams of fame and poprity, but when their dreams are dashed, they could only return or topletely sink.
Lu Chen too has dreams. Furthermore, his dreams are huge.
After leaving the bar and depositing the money in the ATM along the road, he ran towards the nearest metro line.
When he returned to his rented basement, it was 11PM.
His traveling speed can be considered fast as there weren’t many people on the metro at night. Otherwise during the day, the metro would be packed with people like sardines and wouldn’t be able to return smoothly and unhindered.
Li Feiyu wasn’t at home as thest day of the weekends was his usual regr happy hour.
Therefore Lu Chen only had himself to rely on for tonight’s first live broadcast.
The microphone and camera head had been switched over previously. He then turned on hisputer and logged into the inte, while entering his username and password on StarryLive home page and was quickly directed into Lu Fei’s live broadcast room.
Although Lu Chen’sputer was an old model, it wasn’t a problem to run the live broadcast tform and the screen immediately disyed a clear image of him.
"Hello! Hello!"
Lu Chen spoke towards the microphone to test whether the equipment was working fine.
What made him surprised was that five to six captions immediately emerged on the screen.
"River River, I am Yellow River!"
"I hear you! Boss you are finally online. We have waited ages for you!"
"Send flowers to celebrate!"
"Wifey, hurry up and look at at handsome guy!"
"..."
Lu Chen then realized the statistic counter on the top of the live broadcast indicates 427. Which means that there are currently 400 plus people looking at his broadcast that caused thement section to be flooded.
Although he had previously posted an announcement to notify his first live broadcast to be set on 11pm at night, he did not expect so many viewers would be here to cheer him on and he felt excited along with a little bit of touched.
"I’m really sorry..."
Lu Chen promptly replied. "I had just finished work and did not estimate the time well, causing all of you to wait. I’m sorry!"
Just when his voice sounded, thements suddenly increased.
"The anchor has to work during weekend nights? Whichpany is so inhumane!"
"That’s right, we should all call the Ministry of Supervision to file aint!"
"Moreover, working until 11pm, it is too much!"
"Feel sorry for cute guy!"
"...."
Lu Chen forced a bitter smile and exined without dy. "I sing at Forget Grass bar at Dead Sea, I can be considered a bar singer so the working hours are during the night time, that’s why I camete."
"Dead sea? I frequent there, which bar is it? I don’t think I’ve seen the anchor there before?"
"So you are a bar singer, no wonder your singing is good!"
"Stop talking nonsense and allow the anchor to start singing. My ears are getting itchy!"
"Oh? Go find a ear picker and poke a few times, afterwards it’ll feel better."
"Hahahaha..."
Lu Chen felt joy looking at the livelyments section and the nervousness of his first broadcast quickly disappeared without a trace while he unconsciously loosen up.
The atmosphere of online live broadcast was different from the bar, but after adapting, he felt great.
The viewers rapidly raised from the initial count of 427 to 725 and the greetingsments came in one by one without stopping.
This would be unimaginable while performing in a bar. Therefore this was where the fascination of the inte lies!
"Eh? It seems as if the anchor has changed rooms, it’s not in Brother Fei’s room!"
"It’s just a change in the room name... you’re making a big fuss about nothing!"
"Oops, i meant the house the anchor is in right now, did you all not notice it?"
"I know right, where are you staying anchor? The conditions are quite bad!"
"It should be a basement room, I have rented a simr room previously."
"Feeling sorry for anchor!"
"..."
The spectator’s discussion content quickly switched over to the current room Lu Chen is staying in.
A small district of a few decades coupled with small area in the basement room, a small room would naturally not be in a good condition.
Although Li Feiyu and Lu Chen are neighbours, the former had forked out money to renovate his room and undoubtedly looked better, unlike Lu Chen’s room that looks simple and crude.
System prompt: Happy888(Silver 1) gifted anchor 100 StarCredits!
System prompt: UnderwearSuperhero(ck Metal 2) gifted anchor 100 StarCredits!
System prompt: AbyssDragonRider (Bronze 4) gifted anchor 100 StarCredits!
System prompt: CrystalJelly (Bronze 2) gifted anchor 100 StarCredits!
....
System promot: ProphetEmperorLibai (Golden 3) gifted anchor 1 Star batteship!
The Star batteship has resurfaced and it was the same guy, ProphetEmperorLibai!
Lu Chen has yet to begin singing and the audience donation came one after another. Furthermore, the ProphetEmperorLibai once again gifted him a huge donation of 1 Star batteship.
1 Star batteship not only meant 1000 yuan but also a chance to show one’s face on the whole live broadcast tform.
Lu Chen’s heart involuntarily warmed up. Clearly these spectators saw that his living conditions were awfully bad and used donation as a way to show support and sympathy.
At this moment the viewers has exceeded 1000 in a blink of an eye and was continuously rising!
Lu Chen consciously looked at the number of fans follows.
5279!
What’s going on?
Lu Chen was unable to believe what he had just seen. Previously at noon the ount followers were merely 2722. How did it double after a few hours?
As he only started using StarryLive, even though Li Feiyu had overdosed him with numerous general knowledge, ultimately as a newb, there were a lot of situations he was unsure of therefore he could not pinpoint the crux causing this situation.
Anyways It doesn’t matter even if he can’t think of it. After all it wasn’t a bad thing but a good thing instead!
"Thank you, ProphetEmperorLibai’s Star batteship gift..."
He spoke through the microphone. "Also thank you for everyone’s support. I shall perform the originalposed work of mine named <<You Who Sat Next to Me>>. I believe the majority of you have heard of it before, and i hope that new viewers will like it."
Slightly pausing for a moment, Lu Chen continued. "Tonight, I shall dedicate another original work to everyone!"
Ignoring thement section, he hugged his guitar and started performing <<You Who Sat Next to Me>>.
"Pleasant to hear!"
"Touching!"
"I feel like crying!"
...
This ssic work’s charm was undoubtedly well-liked, regardless if it was in Forget Grass bar or StarryLive, those who have listened before or those who were new, everyone without exception had been deeply moved by this song.
More importantly, after numerous performance, Lu Chen could better grasp the feelings contained in the song. In addition, with his unique voice, it had been sufficient to topple over the live broadcast audience that weren’t having much expectations.
After finishing <<You Who Sat Next to Me>>, the favourablements was as if a tide and along with donations, his wholement section had been flooded.
In a spurt of energy, Lu Chen consecutively sang 5 songs that are popr ssic works of his forte. Although it didn’t cause a big sensationpared to <<You Who Sat Next to Me>>, it was sufficient for the atmosphere in the broadcast room to be lively.
During intervals of his performance, Lu Chen also started to interact with more audiences and replied quite a number of questions.
Li Feiyu told him previously that the interaction segment of live broadcast is important. Just purely singing would be hard to maneuver the spectator’s moods. By chatting with everyone and making jokes, one good aspect is to shorten the distance between them and another aspect would be to allow his throat to receive appropriate rest.
What live broadcast is seeking would be the audience economy. Having poprity makes money and the number of fans an anchor has would determine their position in the live broadcast tform.
Lu Chen iscking experience in this department but as long as he is humble, it was not difficult to interact with the enthusiastic audiences. Although there are quite a number of spectators who are deliberately looking for trouble, the main bulk are all fine.
Through the interactive exchanges and entertaining performance, time past quickly and it was already 1 o’clock in the midnight.
