Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

"elder brother!"

Shen Xue wore a high ponytail, her steps light and graceful, the ends of her hair brushing against the collar of her down jacket.

She was wearing a faded beige down jacket with slightly white cuffs. She blinked her big eyes and ran towards him with her bag on her back.

Her sweet appearance was especially gentle in the winter sunset, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes curved slightly, like two small crescent moons.

"I'll carry it for you!"

Shen Mo simply took the other person's backpack.

Good guy!

You're already in high school, and your bag is still so heavy!

"Where's the down jacket I bought you?"

Looking at Shen Xue's clothes, he couldn't help but frown, as half of the down had already escaped.

"I washed it." Shen Xue stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.

He remained silent and didn't expose her.

I bought her two down jackets. She only wore one to school, and the other brand-name down jacket is left at home, she can't bear to wear it.

The saying that children from poor families mature early is a compliment, but it also reflects a kind of helplessness.

"Brother, I'm hungry!"

"Come on, I'll treat you to something delicious."

There is a shopping mall not far from Jiangcheng Middle School.

Shen Xue hesitated when she saw his entourage.

The things in this mall, a casual meal there costs two or three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to her food expenses for a week.

"Let's go! Your brother has money."

Shen Mo smiled and immediately understood what the other person was thinking.

Without saying a word, he took his younger sister to a clothing store and bought two outfits.

Then I bought a set for each of my parents.

After buying the food, we found a Chinese restaurant.

Along the way, passersby occasionally glanced at him, their eyes filled with doubt and speculation.

Clearly, he watches a lot of live streams.

He wore light makeup during his live stream, so there wasn't much difference between his appearance on and off camera, and it wasn't surprising that people recognized him.

In particular, recently, anyone who uses Douyin (TikTok) will occasionally come across his videos or videos about him.

"Brother, are you alright?"

While waiting for the food, the little girl seemed to finally be unable to hold back any longer and slowly asked the question.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Shen Mo was surprised.

The girl's expression had been a bit strange since earlier, which puzzled me.

"It's awful that everyone talks about you like that."

"You weren't on your live stream last night either; that Wang Linkai took your place."

"You're back now!"

"Brother, tell me the truth, have you been sidelined by your company?"

Shen Xue's eyes were full of worry.

She knew that her brother had paid a large sum of money to the hospital. Unlike her mother, Lin Yu, these high school students also used their cell phones after school.

Because her brother is a streamer, Shen Xue pays close attention to live streaming and is even a die-hard fan of "Miracle-Dog Boy".

Every evening after self-study, she likes to run two laps around the playground, then put on her headphones and watch her brother's live stream.

She admired her brother's talent, but also felt sorry for his changes.

No one knows better than her that Shen Mo used to be a reserved and introverted person, but now he can be at ease in front of the camera. She can't imagine the hardships he has gone through, but that doesn't stop her from knowing how difficult it has been for her brother.

However, recently, her brother actually wrote a song online. In the past, she would have been ecstatic and full of admiration.

But this hardworking brother was actually insulted in the face by those damn musicians.

Do they know how hard their brother works?

However, her brother didn't back down and directly responded by posting a video of himself singing, which moved her deeply.

But soon, her brother was no longer in the group's live stream. For two whole days, her brother didn't stream. She wanted to call and ask, but she was afraid of bothering him.

Just as I was struggling with this decision, I received a message from Shen Mo.

Shen Mo smiled and gently tapped the other person's forehead.

"I'm telling you, you should read less novels all day long."

"A ban? These days, what company would do that?"

"You weren't blacklisted and slunk back?" Shen Xue asked, her face full of doubt.

"You're a boss, you're so bored, you block people at the slightest provocation. Putting aside whether he even has the ability, just look at my current traffic—why would I give up making money properly to do that? Are you just throwing money away?"

He wasn't lying to Shen Xue.

Given his current popularity, unless he's incredibly stupid, he wouldn't do something like this.

The reason for giving him the cold shoulder now is simply due to the information gap, which makes Wu Qiang believe that there is still a chance to completely take him down.

"Phew! That's good! That's good!"

"You have no idea, our class was arguing about this at lunchtime today."

"I gave a good beating to a few blind boys, just for talking about my brother."

"You know what, bro? This morning, that celebrity named Huo Sheng also posted on Weibo about you, and it made me furious."

"Huo Sheng?"

Shen Mo was surprised.

"you do not know?"

Shen Mo truly did not know.

After finishing his stock trading, he barely paid attention to his phone, and he completely ignored all the upsetting things happening online.

Naturally, they were unaware of how things would unfold.

Since the company didn't sign his copyright agreement, it naturally wouldn't care about his fate on the internet.

So much so that when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Not only did the musicians from Red Cloud Music's "Hurricane Project" get involved, but many who were originally just watching from the sidelines also joined in.

Who doesn't like online traffic?

Huo Sheng's comments were the most direct.

"I've listened to the song, it's a very good song."

"However, I prefer the female parts; her voice is excellent, with an extremely wide vocal range."

"In comparison, the male parts are much weaker, and often the female voices have to carry the show."

"Among so many peers online, one thing is absolutely true: every industry has its own steadfast guardians and pioneers."

"I am willing to be a staunch defender, but I also ask certain internet celebrities to stop trying to grab attention and focus on doing their jobs properly. Don't just do things haphazardly and end up becoming a hodgepodge."

Huo Sheng unexpectedly became a sensation a couple of years ago because of a music variety show called "The Voice of China". His song "Rolling Up the Pearl Curtain" made him a household name.

In terms of status, Huo Sheng is naturally no match for Huang Qishan, but she is still a celebrity, far surpassing the popularity of small-time streamers like them.

Following his statement, netizens voiced their support.

"Sheng Sheng is absolutely right. These days, just because you sing a song at a personal karaoke bar, you think you're a pop star!"

"I love 'Rolling Up the Pearl Curtain,' when will they release a new song?"

"Sheng Sheng, I want to have your babies."

"I like you so much. You've already got the demeanor of a veteran artist."

Why are you trying to flirt with me instead of just chatting on WeChat?

Could it be that they haven't produced any new content in a long time and are trying to piggyback on the popularity of a popular online streamer like me?

That shouldn't be happening!

"Oh my God!"

"Brother! You're finished!"

"What's wrong?"

Shen Mo was still observing the impact of Huo Sheng's message when he heard Shen Xue's desperate wails.

"See for yourself!"

Shen Xuesheng, feeling utterly hopeless, shoved the phone at him.

On Weibo, a female celebrity surnamed Zheng directly liked and retweeted Huo Sheng's comment.

Shen Mo was also dumbfounded.

I'm just a lowly Karami, what have I done to deserve being trampled on by this young master?

"Brother, what Heavenly Law have you broken?" Shen Xue asked with a worried expression.

From her perspective, the fact that her brother was publicly criticized by two celebrities was tantamount to a death sentence; it felt like the sky had fallen.

"Have a meal!"

Just then, the waiter brought their food to the table.

Without saying a word, Shen Mo picked up his rice and started eating.

"No... you can still eat?"

My brother has such a big heart!

"It's alright! They'll calm down after this period."

"Can't you see that my fan base is still growing rapidly?"

He had just checked and found that the war of words started by Liang Dong and others had successfully generated buzz for Hongyun Music.

As a result, his Douyin account and the song "Towards the Clouds" on Hongyun Music both saw their data keep rising.

Currently, "Towards the Clouds" has been unfairly criticized to the top spot.

Liang Dong and his group got what they asked for.

As the situation escalated, Huo Sheng got involved, and now even the female celebrity surnamed Zheng has reposted it, it's no longer something that Liang Dong and his ilk can control.

For the actress surnamed Zheng, it might just have been something she thought was fun, and she just clicked on it casually.

However, the other party's current number of fans and status indicate that this farce has only just begun.
