Chapter 59
PS Chapter 59 – On The Hot List Again
The vast number of male viewers are undoubtedly the main audience of all live broadcasting platforms. Whether it is a single dog or love dog, a student or a worker, the energetic young people can always find their own enjoyment in different live broadcasting rooms – watching girls acting coquettishly while singing, learning from professional gamer when they play games during competition, or appreciate outdoor experts go fishing or hunting.
However, always remember, never ignore the growing number of female viewers!
Especially for a talented anchor like Lu Chen. The number of female fans in his fun club are quite considerable, and it is a group that must be taken care of.
Compared with the male fans, female fans have a very valuable quality. That is, they tend to be very careful, and they are good at using the website promotion activities to earn free fish balls and then reward them to their favorite anchors.
Don’t underestimate the free fish balls that came from promotions. A thousand of people may only mean a small amount of fish balls, but ten thousand people would be considered very good. And the average reward rate of female fans is much higher than that of male fans.
So, Lu Chen chose “Cinderella” as the third song of the PK live show. Making the female fans be the star of the show rather than just being an audience. So, this song can definitely arouse their sympathy and love.
Which girl has never had Cinderella’s dream in her heart?
In order to show his sincerity, Lu Chen also made a Flash animation MV for this song.
The new song MV was very simple and easy to make because it just used movie clip with lyrics added to it.
However, this 7-minute animation is Lu Chen’s original content. Although it is not a professional-level work, he has used small source material from the net, which consumes him three days.
[Lu Fei’s Works]
First, four exquisite artistic fonts appear in the live interface.
Then, the main title gradually fades away, and the words [Cinderella / Song: Lu Fei / Animation: Lu Fei / Post Production: Lu Fei] Then a silhouetted of a girl slowly appear on the screen.
“Wow! The anchor is so talented!”
“He’s able to sing and make original songs, and also produce animation. He’s amazing.”
“Lu Fei Big Rapeseed1!”
“I must record it and save it in my computer to enjoy it.”
“It’s obvious that you can rely on your face to make a living. So, why do you want to rely on talent? I really don’t get it!”
“Stop talking, let’s listen to the song!”
“Listen to the song…”
As Lu Chen expected, the animation poked the cute side of the female fans, and 100 fish balls were given out in batch one after another, fully demonstrating the fighting power of the female fans.
“Why did I fall in love with you?
I ask myself.
I can forsake anything,
but it’s hard to leave today,
You aren’t pretty,
But you are the cutest,
Aiya Cinderella,
My Cinderella.
…… “
Lu Chen played the simple guitar without any electronic accompaniment as he sings. His voice is as clean and thorough as ever, full of emotion, as if it were a clear spring, which can wash away the impulsiveness and anxiety in people’s hearts, and let everyone unconsciously fall into the mood of this song.
The animation presented in the live interface perfectly matches the theme of the lyrics. The story of ordinary girls and handsome men meeting and falling in love on campus is outlined with plain color and simplified lines. Although not so exquisite, it can still deeply impress girls who like romance or pursue romance.
At this time, countless male compatriots have shown their generosity and tolerance. Not many of them barrage the screen, and they left that space to the female fans with tacit understanding.
“…I am probably waiting for your arrival…”
After 5 minutes of singing, the animation continued to play for 1 minute, leaving everyone a happy ending.
Those who liked, appreciated, admired, and had been moved…. all showed up with barrage and fish balls.
At 8:45, [Whale TV] Lu Fei live broadcasting room, online popularity: 579,020.
At the same time, the [Whale TV] hot list was updated again.
Only the top 12 of the hot lists was shown in the front page of the homepage. In order to calculate the online popularity of the live broadcasting room, the number of barrages and the number of rewards, which are one of the most important bases to measure the strength of an anchor, are used in a fixed formula to convert the corresponding ranked value automatically.
It is refreshed every 15 minutes on the front page of [Whale TV].
Since the PK Theme Show officially began at 8 o’clock, Sunny Baby, the No. 1 female anchor of [Whale TV], has been firmly occupying the top of the hot list even after three updates of the hit lists. This showed how strong her popularity is.
The 11 positions under her are also highly competitive, and all of them are also the most popular anchor with no exception.
During the first two updates, Lu Chen’s rank was unknown.
However, At 8:45, when the list was refreshed, he was ranked 11th!
“Lu Fei is on the hot list of the whole station!”
Immediately, a sharp-eyed fan noticed that and quickly barrage it on the screen: “No. 11!”
And immediately, there was a tide of response.
“Commander Lu is mighty!”
“Congratulations anchor. You must climb to the top and win the championship!”
“Hahaha! We must work harder and help the anchor continue rush upward!”
“The people of Jiangbei sent a congratulatory message!”
” The people of Sichuan sent a congratulatory message!”
” The people of Beijing sent a congratulatory message!”
” The people of Shanghai sent a congratulatory message!”
” The people of Baodao sent a congratulatory message!”
“The people of Chaoshan…”
Congratulatory messages filled the screen, congratulating Lu Chen on his first achievement on the PK theme show.
It was not really easy to get Lu Fei’s live broadcasting room on the hot list of the whole station. It is also worth congratulating. Although it has been there before, there was no fierce competition like the PK theme show at that time, so there was a great chance to be on the list.
However, now that it was on the list again, this prove its popularity, and Lu Chen who was the lowest in the basic data in all 24 PK anchors, naturally it seems extraordinary.
A lot of the fans understood this, so they feel proud about this, because Lu Chen’s success cannot be separated from their support. His achievements deserve to be shared with 500,000 + online viewers!
And countless members of the Lu Army believe that Lu Chen will be able to rush to the top five.
However, for Lu Chen’s competitors, especially those with similar rankings, were quite disturbed.
This year’s [Whale TV] PK Theme Show awards are very generous. It is a rare masterpiece of [Whale TV]. The publicity and promotion work are in place, showing the official’s determination to revitalize the website.
As a front-line and top anchor in [Whale TV], nobody wants to give up in this competition. The powerhouse hopes that they stay on top, while the weaker one hopes that they take over the position of the powerhouse. So, it is natural that the competition is fierce.
The 24 anchors who participated the PK Theme Show had obtained the notification of the website early on and knew ahead of time the list of competitors. And in order to win, it is absolutely necessary to know oneself and to know the others in advance. But Lu Chen, that is, Lu Fei, was not in anyone’s eyes.
As the newcomer anchor of [Whale TV], his qualifications are too shallow. Although his momentum of growth is very fast, his lack of accumulating sufficient fan is a fatal weakness, destined to play the role of being the weakest.
As for the theme of graduation season and his original folk songs, it is nothing more than an act of showing off.
They will use facts to teach their opponents, and let Lu Chen know that the newcomers are just newcomers, and not someone who can challenge the high-ranks.
However, the fact actually gave those opponents who despise Lu Chen a loud slap on the face!
Nearly half of the time of the PK live show have passed, Lu Chen is now on the 11th hot list of the whole station, and his online popularity is close to 600,000 people!
With such data, to say that he has no qualification to challenge the top five, they need to open their eyes and stop talking nonsense.
Soon, some of the closely-ranked anchor fan support groups noticed the threat from Lu Chen. They started to strengthen their support to their own anchors while also planning ways to weaken the others.
Any list has the possibility of being manipulated. There are many ways to suppress a competitor, such as finding violations to report, painting black barrages, making a commotion and start a war, and so on.
Some fans are crazy and don’t make any sense at all.
With the updating of the hot list, an undercurrent is rushing toward the live broadcasting room of Lu Fei.
At this moment, Lu Chen knew nothing about it. He was preparing to sing the fourth song.
