Chapter 988: 987. Do you even have the face to ask me? (One more update)
The reality show live broadcast suddenly turned into a herbal medicine science popularization program.
Amazingly, the audience in the live room watched with great interest. Watching the father and daughter work in an orderly manner, they not only didn’t feel bored but also learned a bunch of herbs in a short time.
Only then did the old fans suddenly remember that the uncle from their family was actually a high-achieving student in the Chinese medicine department of Imperial Medical College.
"I almost thought uncle was just a small actor who could act?"
"It seems like the professionalism isn’t lost. This scene is so familiar... feels like I’ve returned to the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia."
"When you’re asked to broadcast live, you start introducing herbs, uncle, have you no backbone?"
"They say a man is most charming when he is focused on something and goes all out for it. My attention has already been attracted by the figure behind the camera. Father Tang is indeed the most handsome!"
"His charm value is almost as high as the uncle himself. I’ve decided, from now on, I’ll be the biggest fan of Father Tang."
"Today’s uncle is quite cowardly, I’ve taken a screenshot, hahaha~~~"
The old fans, led by the administrators, feel their lives are complete now. The bully who used to oppress them finally has someone to deal with him. Their mood is instantly uplifted, and the life they’ve long dreamed of has arrived.
"Doesn’t this count as realizing our dream, brothers?"
"Never expected, the uncle’s first downturn turned out to be because of this handsome man!"
"Father Tang, oh Father Tang, why didn’t you come out earlier? Do you know how much we little cuties suffered because of your family’s leaky little padded jacket?"
"Boss her around, boss her around hard!"
The old fans went collectively crazy, and there was no suppressing it!
These folks were not only bouncing around happily in the live room, but even in the fan support group, they kept spamming, causing one old fan after another to drop what they were doing and rush into the live room. Moreover, they took screenshots one by one, mischievously adding captions, and in no time, they posted them on Weibo, where they were quickly forwarded and liked.
While the father and daughter duo quietly processed herbs in the small makeshift workspace, the words about Tang Shu on the internet were so captivating that people quickly read them.
[Tang Shu hit a Waterloo]
[Tang Shu collapsed!]
[Tang Shu was utterly defeated!]
Each of the keywords was more enticing than the last, even passer-by fans who were totally indifferent to this artist felt like clicking to read, and more and more people had this mindset. Before long, it shot up to trending.
"What’s up with Tang Shu this time?"
"She finally screwed up? Oh my god!"
"She screwed up, she screwed up, it must be a big screw-up, and it looks like it’s a huge one!"
"Click it, click it, seems like there’s big gossip, I’m finally not bored!"
"How exactly did it collapse? Is this actor stirring things up again on New Year’s Day? Totally not giving new media people a way to live!"
"I want to start a moment of silence for Director Xie and Director Li. This actor has recently starred in quite a few TV series, and my family of five likes her a lot."
"Oh no, those dramas are probably on the verge of being taken down..."
Netizens stopped their dramas, stopped their short videos, and unanimously clicked the notification message that popped up on their phones, only to find out that it was a short video of the Tang family father and daughter bickering (not really).
"Damn, I’ve been tricked."
"Is this called collapse? Is this called facing the strongest opponent???"
"Seriously, have the program teams begun to exaggerate the facts like this? Do you call this Tang Shu being utterly defeated???"
"Didn’t get to eat the big gossip, ended up being deadlocked by this father-daughter interaction scene instead."
"How can one live in these times, single dogs used to get abused by couples showing love, but now even have to be abused by father-daughter love???"
"Inhumane, why doesn’t my dad treat me like this? He picks up a stick and goes straight for my butt!"
"I only know that life in this world has to endure various comparisons, but never expected that there would also be father-daughter comparisons in the entertainment circle?"
"I thought something extraordinary had happened. Program team, come out, I promise not to beat you to death..."
Program team forcibly taking the blame: "..."
How the hell is this any of my business?
They’re still dumbfounded themselves, completely unaware of what happened.
After the audience scolded the program team, they watched the short video several times, as if the webpage had some stickiness, not wanting to exit as if they were addicted.
"Don’t you think this Tang Shu’s dad is handsome? His features are rugged, exactly like the knife-sculpted face in a novel!"
"This handsome uncle is really good-looking, broad-shouldered and strong, full of manly air, isn’t he!"
"Doesn’t look like someone in his forties, looks like someone in their thirties could believe it!"
"Are the two of them... quite fun? Hahahaha, their conversation is hilarious, I can’t take it, I’m heading to the live room."
"I’m going to take a look too, it seems interesting, my dad needs to learn this, can’t use the feather duster on me anymore."
While netizens felt deceived, they found the video quite entertaining and thus clicked into the live room, before long, they were immersed in the warm "dialogues" of the father and daughter duo.
***
Imperial City.
The number of online viewers in Tang Shu’s live room kept rising, while the other three live rooms lagged more and more, with the gap increasingly apparent. Seeing this scene, both the program team leader and Starshine Media were so worried they were going gray.
"Damn, team leader, the data can’t hold anymore!"
"The online number has increased to seven million, in just half an hour it increased by a million, at this rate our system will probably collapse, team leader!"
"One Day Idol" is a reality show. Although they liked to use live broadcasts to attract fans, it primarily remained a real-deal variety show, with most of the target audience wanting to watch the edited final product.
And for this reason, the program team used their own equipment during live broadcasts and recordings, which led to their series of live streaming equipment not being so... professional.
At least the backstage could only handle a limited number of simultaneous online users.
Staring at the exponentially increasing audience numbers, the program team’s server was already on the brink of collapse.
The person in charge was utterly panicking, torn between being delighted by the huge number of clicks and being terribly worried.
"What should we do, what should we do, how dare you ask me? Who’s the professional, you or me? Increase the servers, stop standing there foolishly!"
"Oh yes, I’ll go prepare right away... Wait, our program team simply doesn’t have servers that big, ah ah ah ah—"
Leader, do you remember we’re just a variety show? Our viewership clearly relies on post-production editing. The live room is just a place for guests’ fans to shout cheers!
