65: "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" debuts

Chen Fang looked in the Assistant Director's direction and saw the Assistant Director staring at the live stream screen, his face grim.

Evidently, the atmosphere in the live stream room was still oppressive.

Hiss—don't be so gloomy!

If everyone feels too depressed now and exits the live stream, there will be far fewer viewers when he clarifies later!

The system's rule for harvesting negative emotion points is that the closer and more direct the relationship with him, the higher the quantity.

So, from the perspective of contributing negative emotion points, the feeling of guilt generated by viewers watching marketing news should be more useful than that generated by watching the live stream.

No, the audience's mood must be brought back now.

What to do? Think of a way!

Chen Fang pondered for a while, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

Oh, right, 'the brightest star in the night sky'!

This song carries the meaning of finding hope and direction, self-reflection and growth, and pursuing dreams.

Moreover, it is very touching and has a strong purifying and invigorating effect.

In the previous world, it was truly a masterpiece that accompanied countless people through difficult times.

This is it!

The viewers in the live stream would definitely understand it, and although Zhenzhen might not fully grasp their persuasion, the power of music should touch her to some extent.

Zhao Jin was still talking to Zhenzhen; he would wait for them to finish.

Not far away, Director Liu Yang walked over to the Assistant Director and looked at the live stream screen.

It was fine until he looked, but once he did, he was shocked.

A large number of defeatist comments had appeared in the live stream room.

"Zhenzhen's idea is quite right. Losing at the starting line is much better than losing at the finish line; it saves a lot of running."

"Effort? If you don't try, you'll never know the taste of effort without reward."

"Effort doesn't necessarily lead to success, but no effort certainly leads to ease."

"Opportunity is for those who are prepared; don't prepare blindly if there's no opportunity."

"Five-star General MacArthur even said that gold will always shine, but everyone here is just ordinary."

"A living fish worries, a dead fish is at peace."

"I'm tired, let's just destroy it. I didn't have much energy to begin with, and now it's completely drained. I'm out, I'm out."

The Director watched as the number of viewers dropped from 139,000 to 138,000, and his temples throbbed.

Just then, his phone screen lit up. He picked it up and saw it was from Director Jiang Ze, the overall director of the three groups of 'the adventures'.

He opened it and saw that Director Jiang's words were full of anger: "What are you doing! Why did you add such a segment? The other two groups haven't finished yet, and your group has created such a depressing ending atmosphere, which will also affect the other two groups. Deal with it quickly!"

The Director quickly put down his phone and gestured to the four guests, indicating that they should stop trying to mend things and skip the topic directly!

Pan Pengpeng noticed the Director's gesture and was about to change the subject, but Chen Fang beat him to it.

"Zhenzhen, I'll sing you a song."

"Eh?" Zhenzhen leaned forward, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Chen Fang, "Can you?"

"Of course."

In the last segment, Xie Yunxuan volunteered to dance, and Pan Pengpeng actively told a three-minute crosstalk. It wouldn't be out of place for him to sing a song now.

Chen Fang smiled, turned around, and asked a staff member to bring him the guitar he used for their collaborative performance in the last segment.

Not far away, the Director's heart tightened when he heard this request.

A song? His most popular song right now is 'one meat and one vegetable'. That thing can't coax a child, but it can make the audience cry.

He better not sing this song now just to prove to the audience that he didn't use auto-tune. Otherwise, he might really spit blood.

Hmm... But Chen Fang wouldn't go that far. Oh, right, Chen Fang released a light-hearted and uplifting song when he was at Jia Kang Entertainment. He's probably going to sing that one, right?

The Director breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the live stream screen.

"'one meat and one vegetable' is good!"

"It's just selling family sentiment, and there's a million-dollar sound engineer, right?"

"I came to watch variety shows to relax. How can 'Chen Fang,' a guy who hurts others and leaves them with shadows, be qualified for a healing variety show?"

"Seeing Chen Fang reminds me of my cheating ex-boyfriend. Damn it, Douyin even pushed the mistress's account to me, that's how I found out. It makes me so angry; I get angry just looking at him. Can't you censor him?"

"@'the adventures' Official, new keywords again, 'Chen Fang,' quickly block them."

The Director rubbed his forehead.

Oh my goodness, there are so many hurt hearts these days, and they're all finding empathy with Chen Fang. I don't understand how these people look at his face and think of their own partners?

The Director instructed the Assistant Director, "Tell the interactive operations department to block them quickly," then walked back to his seat and sat down.

At the same time, the staff also adjusted the microphone. Chen Fang took the guitar, crossed his legs, and tested the sound twice.

...

In front of the live stream screen.

Liu Kexin, a former fan of Chen Fang, was lying in bed, looking at the screen with a hint of melancholy.

She was already annoyed by her graduate school preparations.

Today, her study partner for graduate school even said, "I plan to look for a job, not take the exam. You go for it."

Under this double blow, she was already depressed. Hearing Zhenzhen's words just now, coupled with the bullet comments in the live stream, made things even worse, making her doubt if her efforts were truly worth it.

Getting up early and returning late every day, not even dating, just for that low-probability admission to a prestigious university.

Liu Kexin's eyes were melancholic. Seeing Chen Fang pick up the guitar, she couldn't help but let out a snort.

As a former fan, she had heard all of his songs.

He was planning to sing "Forward," wasn't he?

How to describe the motivation this song gives? It's as useless as a friend telling you "don't be sad" when you say you're sad.

Liu Kexin rubbed her hair, turned her head to look at the 218 days on the graduate school countdown posted on the wall, and raised her hand to flip the '8' in the ones place to a '7'.

With so many days and nights left, could she reach the other shore...?

A ethereal and soothing guitar sound came through her headphones.

From far to near, it was as if... the universe and the stars were slowly unfolding before her, giving a feeling of calm, loneliness, and a slight hint of sadness.

She felt her heart seem to calm down considerably, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

A gentle yet slightly husky voice came through her headphones.

"the brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly."

"The loneliness and sighs in the heart of the one who looks up."

"the brightest star in the night sky, can you remember"

"The figure that once walked with me, disappeared in the wind."

Despite the sad and lonely lyrics, Chen Fang sang with great conviction, as if he were a lonely warrior.

His singing was like a gentle breeze caressing her soul, slowly injecting strength into her.
