They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The news that Xingyue Media is entering the MCN live streaming field.

It became a trending topic on the same day the industry announcement was released.

All signed talents under Wangyue Culture and Jiamei Media.

The identity verification section on the main page is marked with Xingyue Media's yellow "V" logo.

The first live broadcast is scheduled for 12 noon, which is not prime time.

Half an hour before the broadcast started, all the lights were turned on in the scene-based live broadcast room of Studio 2 in the film and television city.

The ring light illuminated the entire stage brightly.

The background LED screen continuously plays outstanding works produced by Xingyue.

A dozen or so bar stools were lined up in a row.

Wang Xiaoli and her team of female anchors, who are known for their suggestive content, have completed their final rehearsal.

"Welcome to all the new brothers."

"StarMoon Media's first group broadcast, thank you all for your support!"

"Give us a follow, and you'll soon see amazing dance performances!"

Wang Xiaoli stood in front of the camera, conducting a final sound check on her headset.

She wore a black sequined slip dress today, the hem of which only reached mid-thigh.

Her legs, encased in sheer black stockings, gleamed with a delicate sheen under the fill light.

Several female anchors from the visual impact team stood in a row behind them.

The matching fitted dresses, with their low-cut necklines, accentuated a deep cleavage under the lights.

Several tall girls in stockings stood on both sides, wearing 8-centimeter stiletto heels.

Everyone is wearing suspenders and black stockings as standard.

She's very outgoing and knows how to dance.

Within minutes of the broadcast starting, the number of online viewers jumped from a few hundred to several thousand.

The scrolling speed of the bullet comments section is visibly increasing.

"Holy crap, 10 people! That's quite a sight."

"Based on my years of experience in appreciating these things, the hosts are very knowledgeable."

"It's Da Lei! We're saved!"

"Dance, dance now!"

"We're all in the front row watching the premiere of 'Starry Night.' I heard that all the anchors were personally selected by President Jiang."

"Are you serious about the person above who said President Jiang personally selected them? Explain in detail how he did it."

"Selling nutritional drinks, peanut and melon seed eight-treasure porridge in the front row, please pull your legs in."

"Hey brothers, remember to give the sisters a thumbs up!"

Wang Xiaoli stepped forward and made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera.

The other female anchors followed suit and made a heart shape with their hands.

"I'll accept your kindness!"

"Nutritional Express is ready!"

Jiang Han leaned back on the sofa in the backstage area, with a full-screen monitoring display in front of him.

He opened the gift panel and casually sent out several rounds of red envelopes.

After the special effects exploded on the screen, the number of online viewers jumped by several thousand.

"President Jiang is awesome! Xingyue Media is awesome!"

"A simple red envelope they send out is worth a year's salary for me!"

"You are not alone."

The red envelope rain hadn't stopped when Jiang Han poured several more large sums of money into the live stream.

His ID immediately jumped to the top of the gift rankings.

There were so many zeros after the donation amount that someone in the comment section actually counted them all.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions, holy crap, 500 million."

"I counted it several times to make sure it's 500 million."

"Mr. Jiang, did your hand slip?"

"A slip of the hand can win 500 million? That's called throwing money around."

"Your whole family is a bunch of swindlers!"

The prelude begins.

The lights switched to a bright halo of interwoven purple and pink.

Wang Xiaoli led the female anchors of the visual impact team in starting the opening dance.

The movements were crisp and clean, with each turn perfectly timed to the most intense beats of the drums.

The large-scale dance movements are accompanied by regular undulations.

Yoga pants and bodycon skirts drew smooth curves under the lights.

duang~duang~

duang!

The barrage of comments flooded the screen like a waterfall, and colorful gift effects exploded on the screen.

When the number of online users exceeded 10, a few unfamiliar IDs appeared on the gift-giving list.

An account with an anime character as its profile picture spent money on 20 Carnival events.

Someone in the comments section said it was director Jiaozi's private account.

Another account, verified as belonging to a well-known screenwriter, followed suit by sending images of castles and airplanes.

Then came the account of a popular actress, whose profile picture was recognized by fans.

"Holy crap! Honey! Boss Yang is here too."

"Honey, are you scuba diving?"

"Honey, could you please finish the vlog you owed before you send me gifts?"

Before the chat could react, several more top streamers' private accounts rushed into the live stream.

Each of them, along with their fan groups, flooded the social media feeds.

The back-end data analyst stood up from his workstation.

He held the newly printed real-time data report in his hand.

"President Jiang, some directors and screenwriters from the industry just came to our live broadcast room."

"After their account was recognized by fans, their online viewership increased significantly."

"And top streamers, all of them are their own main accounts."

"We weren't invited; everyone came voluntarily to show their support."

The barrage of comments was nonstop, the entire screen filled with praise for President Jiang's might and the grandeur of the stars and moon.

"Is this an MCN premiere or an entertainment industry annual meeting?"

"All the big shots are showering me with gifts, oh my god!"

Liu Meng was shocked as she scrolled through the real-time data reports in the background.

She swiped her finger across the screen.

"I just checked the source of all the accounts that sent large gifts."

"There are directors, screenwriters, actors, top livestreamers, and official accounts of two beauty brands that want to talk to you about endorsements."

Someone in the comment section posted a screenshot of the gift-giving list online.

The accompanying text consisted of only one line.

For Xingyue Media's first live broadcast, most of the entertainment industry came.

The news was quickly forwarded to various industry forums.

Some media commentators have remarked that the gifts reflect the collective recognition of the new "Starry Night" track by people within the industry.

Jiang Han has been in the entertainment industry for so long, but he has never actively formed cliques or factions.

But today, everyone he had helped and worked with came to support him.

"Those big shots, any one of them could be the main character on the trending topics, and now they're all sending gifts."

"This is my first time watching a live stream. Can I submit my resume by clicking the gift icon in the bottom right corner?"

"Hey you, could you please count how many carnivals there are?"

"I'm a complete newbie, so I'm asking questions if I don't understand. Just how many identities does President Jiang hold?"

"He's the chairman of Xingyue, the boss of an MCN, and knows so many directors and celebrities. What is his main job?"

"Making your main job a success in life is what makes you a winner; having a side hustle is what makes you a company."

"Whether you believe it or not, I wouldn't be surprised if he acquired a game company tomorrow."

"I just came in and saw so many top celebrities sending gifts. Is CEO Jiang about to debut?"

"Everyone, look closely. Many of those who send gifts are people who owe President Jiang a favor."

Just as the comments were flooding the screen, Wang Xiaoli suddenly raised her hand to signal the music to stop.

She stood in front of the camera, and the LED screen behind her switched from dazzling light and shadow to an aerial map of the western suburbs of Jingzhou.

"Dear brothers and sisters, today's group broadcast will come to an end for now."

"At 7 p.m., Xingyue Media's first live-streaming sales event officially started right here in this live-streaming room."

After a moment of hesitation, some questions began to emerge in the live chat.

"As expected, here it comes. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I knew it! After the dance, they're bound to promote products. I've seen that trick before."

"Followed, followed. It doesn't cost any money to take a look anyway."

"Hey you, the one who mentioned the 'routine,' you'll regret this later."
