180: Let’s welcome Mr. Dongfang with applause!

Time passed by, second by second.

The program team quickly prepared.

Over at Tianji Entertainment, Tang Chen was also busy, preparing with Chen Fang’s team to deal with the public opinion after his identity was revealed later.

At 6:30, Tang Chen walked down the corridor and met a woman in her forties. She was Bai Liya, the Head of the Music Production Department.

Bai Liya stopped him and said with a smile, “Tang Chen, I heard that Chen Fang is Dongfang? Where are you keeping Chen Fang? Can you pay more attention to the Music Production Department?”

Tang Chen smiled and said, “Didn’t he just release ‘Can’t Learn’ last week? Do you expect him to release one song a week? Is that not too much? He’s just working harder than other singers to participate in activities and find inspiration.”

As soon as Tang Chen spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it was so difficult. Every time he spoke about Chen Fang, he had this feeling that he was speaking the truth, yet he inexplicably felt like he was misleading people.

Bai Liya was momentarily speechless by his words, “That’s true. He’s coming to the company to record a song the day after tomorrow afternoon, right?”

“Yes, it’s scheduled for 1 PM to 3 PM.”

Bai Liya nodded, “Perfect, the Music Production Department has a meeting to discuss the production of the soundtrack for ‘qin dynasty storm’. If he’s free, he should come too.”

Tang Chen chuckled lightly, “It’s no use if he goes. The composers who are good at that style haven’t satisfied the Animation Department. He hasn’t written in this style before, and he’s still on a variety show. How could he write something?”

“Tang Chen, what are you thinking? I’m just letting him come to listen and meet other lyricists and composers. How could I possibly rely on him?”

To put it bluntly, she just wanted Chen Fang to get closer to the Music Production Department and return to the music industry, kid!

“Alright, we’ll see on Monday the day after tomorrow.” Tang Chen noted this down, “I won’t chat with you anymore, ‘the adventures’ is about to go live, and I need to go monitor it with the public relations team.”

“You go ahead.”

…

At 6:50, in the living room of Villa No. 18.

The six guests, excluding Chen Fang, and He Xing were already seated. Today, He Xing was responsible for hosting and asking questions. The six guests could ask their own questions, or glance at the large bullet screen outside the camera to see what questions the audience had and help ask them.

Yue Qingzhu looked at her watch, hesitated for a moment, and asked Director Liu, “Director Liu, where is Chen Fang? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Director Liu said, “He has other tasks.”

Yue Qingzhu nodded.

“Could it be…” Bai Wenbin’s mouth slightly opened, “Because of ‘Leaping Special’, he got in touch with Dongfang, and they’re going to chat later?”

“It must be. I just heard Chen Fang’s assistant say that ‘Leaping Special’ is going to be published by Wenyuan Bookstore.” Xie Yunxuan said sourly, hugging his arms, “They’re from the same publishing house, truly colleagues seeing colleagues, tears welling up in their eyes.”

Bai Wenbin chuckled lightly, “Xie Yunxuan, you’re so sour, aren’t you afraid Dongfang won’t pay attention to you later?”

“I’m only sour about Chen Fang, I still really like Dongfang.” Xie Yunxuan said directly. Now, when the cameras were off, he no longer hid his desire to eliminate Chen Fang. Since Chen Fang himself knew, was he afraid of others knowing?

“Cough,” Director Liu coughed, “Everyone, we’re about to start filming.”

He would start filming five minutes early, letting He Xing and the six guests chat first, giving the audience time to enter the live stream.

Seeing the guests close their mouths and put on a harmonious front, Director Liu gave the command, and the cameras started rolling.

At 6:55, as soon as the live stream opened, a large number of netizens quickly poured in. In less than a minute, the number of viewers in the live stream had already climbed to 100,000, and this number was still rapidly soaring. After all, it wasn't 7 PM yet, and most people who watched the live stream exactly at 7 PM hadn't entered yet.

The Assistant Director looked at the number of viewers in the live stream and sighed inwardly, “ghost blows out the light” is truly popular now.

At the same time, in addition to book fans, employees from some film and television companies and gaming companies also poured into the live stream.

Solitary Cloud, the author of “prisoner,” the second-prize winning work of this year’s Wenxing Cup, sat at home and clicked into the live stream, scanning the screen. He found that Chen Fang was not there and sighed with frustration.

Damn it, he had already posted on Tuesday saying he wanted to communicate with Chen Fang, but he didn't expect Dongfang to get there first.

Alas, thinking back, although “ghost blows out the light” was well-written, it was only able to quickly break out and become popular thanks to the promotion of Chen Fang and Xie Yunxuan.

This opportunity to reveal his identity on “the adventures” must have been arranged by his fans, right?

What a stroke of luck!

Just as he thought of this, the time reached 7 PM, and He Xing’s voice announcing the start came from his phone.

At the same time, Chen Fang stood outside the villa door, waiting for He Xing’s signal.

Inside the villa, He Xing sat on the left side of a single sofa, smiling at the camera, “Hello, dear audience friends, welcome to today’s special fan meeting! I believe everyone can already feel the tension and excitement of ‘waiting for the mystery to be revealed’ floating in the air today.”

“In the past two months, there has been a novel that has kept countless people up all night, made book fans obsessed with its world, and some even went on adventures following the clues in the book. That is ‘ghost blows out the light’…”

After He Xing introduced the achievements of “ghost blows out the light” for a while, he got to the point.

“However, there is still one biggest mystery in this book that has not been solved, and that is who exactly Dongfang is.”

“Today, we are finally going to unveil this suspense. Let’s give a round of applause to welcome Mr. Dongfang to the stage!”

The lights focused on the main entrance of the villa, and bullet comments like “Dongfang! Dongfang!” furiously popped up in the live stream.

The six guests all looked towards the main door.

Xie Yunxuan even gripped his pant legs excitedly.

Finally, the door opened, and a handsome figure walked in, nodding and smiling at everyone.

In the live stream, many book fans who had been waiting for a long time saw that a guest had come out and suddenly felt a wave of disappointment, like riding a roller coaster to its peak only to slide back down in reverse.

[Ah, stop playing games with me.]

[Is this Dongfang? Why does he look a bit familiar?]

[This is Chen Fang.]

[Fangfang, what are you doing?!]

[The program team must be building suspense, letting him open the way first, and then he’ll talk to Dongfang later, right?]

[Stop teasing us, hurry up and let Dongfang come out!]
