30: Chapter 30 First Outdoor Live Broadcast

Tong Jingchen and Cao Mo chatted all the way until they arrived at a mall.

First, they each bought an iced Americano at Starbucks, then they had a meal at a restaurant near the mall.

At a quarter past five, Cao Mo received a call from Susu; the piano had arrived.

So, Tong Jingchen and Cao Mo rushed back to the scene.

On a brand-new asphalt road, Cao Mo saw the white grand piano placed there.

This asphalt road, including the surrounding area that looked like unfinished buildings, was the filming location rented by the team.

What Cao Mo intended to utilize was this stretch of asphalt road.

Placing the piano on the clearly marked crosswalk on the asphalt road, Cao Mo would perform the piano there.

The filming team needed to find a good angle to shoot this video well, and then through post-production, turn this video into something with a high-end, artistic feel.

The team was actually quite capable; after Cao Mo told them his ideas, they immediately understood what kind of imagery Cao Mo wanted.

After Cao Mo quickly tuned the piano, he took advantage of the setting sun to film.

What Cao Mo wanted to play was "The Street Where the Wind Resides."

There are many classic and pleasant piano pieces, but looking at this atmosphere, Cao Mo felt that "The Street Where the Wind Resides" was fitting, even though this piece is a combination of piano and erhu.

As Cao Mo, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat on the chair and began to play, a melodious and graceful sound rang out.

The filming team changed to different angles to shoot, while someone held fallen leaves and used a large fan to blow them toward Cao Mo.

The afterglow of the sunset was casting onto the street; even without any editing, the scene was beautiful enough.

At this moment, Wen Bin was holding the Livestreaming phone, filming Cao Mo, and the audience in the Livestream Room saw this scene and the bullet comments were bustling:

"Art! This moment has become art!"

"Liuzi, look at how he does it..."

"It's no wonder he became the Brother Yi of 798 in just a few days."

"He's truly handsome, and truly talented!"

"I really see an air of nobility; could he be a young master from some family!"

"This footage, combined with some post-production light and shadow effects, will be absolutely awesome!"

"This is a real blockbuster!"

"So handsome! Ahhhhhhh!!"

"Husband! Husband!"

"I want to get into the top three on the leaderboard; I want to eat food cooked by my husband himself."

...

Quite a few of Cao Mo's fans, especially female fans, came to Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room, which resulted in Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room now having over 70,000 viewers.

This made HY extremely happy, because many of them were newcomers.

Tong Jingchen was also watching Cao Mo's side: "Handsome! Really handsome! He will definitely have more fans than me in the future, and he will definitely be better at making money than me. Being an influencer is truly a waste of his talents; if he found a good company in the entertainment industry, he could definitely become a top celebrity."

"How about we, Dahai Xingchen, just rely on Cao Mo to enter the entertainment industry," Susu said.

"We haven't even figured out the MCN business yet, let alone the entertainment industry," Tong Jingchen said.

At this moment, Tong Jingchen looked at his phone and discovered a voice message from Sister Fan.

Tong Jingchen tapped it, then put the phone's earpiece to his ear.

After a while, Tong Jingchen lowered the phone and said: "Sister Fan said that because of Cao Mo, a large number of new users have flooded into HY, and she's asking if Cao Mo is interested in coming to stream on HY; the terms and compensation are negotiable."

"So what do you think?" Susu asked.

Tong Jingchen shook his head.

Cao Mo was developing so well on Douyin right now, how could he possibly let him come to HY.

Although signing with HY could get him money immediately, or a substantial monthly salary, HY was inferior to the other side in every aspect.

If he hadn't been locked in, he would have wanted to leave long ago.

At this moment, Cao Mo had finished filming and walked over.

"That's great! This video feels more like a blockbuster; I feel it's better than the previous one, it's invincible," Tong Jingchen said.

"It all needs some post-production processing to really feel right," Cao Mo replied.

"I suggest we use this as the main feature! Let's do this one first," Tong Jingchen said.

"Brother Tong, do you have any cigarettes on you?" Cao Mo said.

Tong Jingchen took out a pack of Jipin and handed one to Cao Mo.

While Cao Mo was smoking, Tong Jingchen said: "HY wants to sign you; are you interested in coming to HY?"

"Not the slightest bit interested," Cao Mo replied decisively.

In Cao Mo's past life, the advantage of HY was that the content guidelines were much looser than Douyin; for the sake of better Livestreaming content, plus the fact that the compensation HY offered was good enough, Cao Mo would definitely have considered HY.

Because in his past life, Douyin was really too strict, terrifyingly strict.

But in this world, the Livestreaming guidelines on Douyin were not as strict as in Cao Mo's past life, so Cao Mo couldn't possibly go to HY; after all, the traffic on Douyin was too high and not in the same league as HY.

"What if they offered you a signing bonus of over ten million?" Tong Jingchen asked.

"I still wouldn't go," Cao Mo replied.

Upon hearing this, Tong Jingchen smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything else.

At this moment, Cao Mo took out his phone to check the time; it was almost seven o'clock.

"Damn! It's almost seven; we agreed to start the stream at seven, and rushing back will take at least an hour late," Cao Mo said.

"Just start the stream here! Stream outdoors for a bit, then drive back, won't that work," Tong Jingchen suggested.

"Alright! I'll go to the car and get my bag," Cao Mo said.

Fortunately, he had brought a messenger bag, and the black-tech phone for Livestreaming was inside.

Cao Mo took the phone out of the car.

The appearance of this phone was similar to the Mate series; the phone was entirely black, but it felt light as a feather in his hand, just like holding a plastic piece.

It wasn't just light; this phone was also quite sturdy, resistant to smashing and dropping; even hitting it with an eighty-pound sledgehammer wouldn't damage it.

Besides being drop-proof, it was also waterproof and fireproof.

As for anti-theft, that went without saying; the phone would precisely locate its position and transmit it to Cao Mo's mind via the system, or transmit it to Cao Mo's other phones.

Not only that, but the phone also had a disguise function; if Cao Mo used it, it was a black-tech phone, but if someone else used it, it was just an ordinary Mate series phone.

The benefit of this was that it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Since Cao Mo was starting his stream, Tong Jingchen naturally ended his, and then gave the phone stand to Cao Mo.

Cao Mo checked the time and saw it was five minutes until seven, so he started the stream early.

Because Cao Mo seamlessly took over the Livestreaming from Tong Jingchen, a large number of brothers from 798 flooded into the Livestream Room.

In a moment, Cao Mo's Livestream Room had over 50,000 viewers.

Of course, this 50,000+ also included many of Cao Mo's fans, because Cao Mo had sent out a notification that he was going live.

"Starting early?"

"Good evening, Husband!"

"Is this outdoors?"

"Came over from Liuzi's stream."

"Where is Liuzi! Can Liuzi appear on camera!"

"Do an outdoor stream with Liuzi!"

"Husband, where are you?"

"Finally streaming outdoors."

"I want to see Liuzi, I want to see Liuzi."

...

Looking at the bullet comments in the Livestream Room, Cao Mo said: "Brother Tong cannot appear in the Livestream Room here; everyone, please understand."

In this world, Brother Tong still could not appear on this platform.

Perhaps when Cao Mo's popularity grew, he could use his own influence to allow Brother Tong to appear in his Livestream Room without any worries.
