323 The Official Beginning, Successful Impetus
7:50 PM, the last ten minutes before the live broadcast.
Xiao Chun and Tang Jin sat at the table. The table was filled with snacks to be sold. Luo Feng was explaining to them how to use the live broadcast software.
The two of them listened very seriously, but they could not hide their nervousness. Xiaochun kept biting her lips and eating the lipstick she had just put on.
“Have you memorized the recommendations?” Luo Feng asked.
“Got it!” The two of them nodded vigorously.
“It’s eight o’clock. Can we start?” Luo Feng asked again.
“Sure!” Xiao Chun took a deep breath and looked up at Luo Feng. “But Boss, can you stand where we can see you? I’m still a little nervous.”
“I’ll always be here.” Luo Feng walked behind the camera.
The makeup artist touched up their makeup one last time.
Then, amidst her pounding heart, Xiaochun opened the livestream app.
“Hello, hello, friends. Welcome to Xiao Chun and her sister’s livestream. Today, Xiao Jin and I will recommend our favorite food to everyone. If you like it, you can try it!” Xiao Chun read out the opening speech that she had prepared for a long time.
However, Luo Feng frowned slightly and wrote on the notification board, “There’s no need to be so formal. Chat for 10 minutes and start introducing the product at 8:10.”
The boss rejected her as soon as she opened her mouth. Xiao Chun’s suppressed nervousness invaded her mind again.
At this moment, she felt someone grab her hand under the table. Tang Jin, who was beside her, looked calm. At least on the surface, she looked very calm.
Tang Jin grabbed Xiaochun’s hand with all her might. Xiaochun even felt a little pain from her grip, which calmed her down. Tang Jin pointed at the number of viewers in the upper right corner.
In the first two minutes, there were only one or two hundred people in the live-stream.
On the bottom left were live comments sent by netizens. This was also their first time watching a live broadcast, and they were filled with curiosity and exploration of the new interface.
“Wow! It’s just like a live broadcast. It’s Xiao Chun and Xiao Jin talking to the camera.”
“Is it really a live broadcast? Little Sister Jin, sing a song.”
“Are the two of them talking to the camera like this? How strange.”
“What’s this button for? Open it.”
The netizens who entered the live-stream for the first time clicked on the flower delivery button according to the software prompt. Two beautiful flowers immediately appeared on the screen and were placed on Xiaochun and Tang Jin’s temples.
“Hahaha! How interesting! We can interact!”
“How about singing a song first? I want to hear Little Sister Jin sing.”
“I want to hear it too. Little Sister Jin’s voice is not bad.”
The bullet screen scrolled very quickly, and there were endless interactive special effects. Most of them were jeering at Tang Jin to sing.
Xiao Chun looked at Luo Feng awkwardly. Tang Jin had not undergone professional training after all. If she sang too badly, the netizens would not buy it. She wondered if she should replace Tang Jin.
Luo Feng had experienced Xiao Chun’s demonic voice before. It might not be as good as Tang Jin’s.
“Tang Jin, sing.” Luo Feng wrote down the notification.
Tang Jin nodded and smiled at the camera. “Hahaha, if I really can’t do anything to you, then I’ll sing one song. But I’ll make it clear that you’re not allowed to laugh at me if it doesn’t sound good.”
Usually, Xiao Jin’s character in the video was that of an innocent and mischievous sister. Her tone was playful and cute, exactly the same as what was shown in the video. The replies on the bullet screen were also very doting.
“Not going to laugh at you.”
“Little Sister Jin sings very well.”
“You’re so cute. You must be cute when you sing.”
Tang Jin cleared her throat and pretended to be serious. “Then, please listen to Xiao Jin sing ‘That Girl Said to Me’.”
Considering the copyright problem, Tang Jin chose the love song that Luo Feng had written for Ai Tingya. She was Luo Feng’s die-hard fan and had studied Luo Feng’s past, so she naturally could not avoid this song.
Xiao Chun started singing without any accompaniment.
“The girl told me that I was protecting her dream.”
“That there aren’t many people like her in this world.”
“She’s starting to forget me, but she doesn’t know it.”
“I, who was covered in wounds, didn’t love anyone else…”
When she reached the high-pitched part, Tang Jinge, who had never received any professional training, did a split.
Xiaochun’s expression changed slightly, and she nervously sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Hahaha, I didn’t warm up my voice. I went astray.” Tang Jin hid behind Xiaochun in embarrassment and peeked at the bullet screen with one eye.
“It’s so cute!”
“There’s no technique. It’s all about feelings.”
“Sister, you sing very well. Don’t be shy.”
“Hahaha, I like such a down-to-earth live broadcast.”
It was another round of flowers. The netizens did not mind Tang Jin’s singing skills. Instead, they felt that she looked more like an ordinary girl-next-door.
When the netizens realized that Xiao Chun and Tang Jin would respond according to their request, the live-stream became more and more lively. Some netizens teased Xiao Chun after teasing Tang Jin, asking her to sing a song too.
At first, the two of them pretended not to see it because they knew Xiao Chun’s singing skills. No one would be able to hold back until the second sentence.
However, the more they could not get it, the more the netizens wanted it. The comments all changed to “Sister Xiaochun sing a song!”. Even a blind person could see it.
It seemed that she would not be able to avoid it if she did not sing.
Tang Jin suddenly had an idea. She hugged Xiao Chun and rocked her back and forth. She pouted at the camera and said, “I’m the only one who can listen to my sister sing. You guys, hmph.”
Tang Jin playfully snorted and rested her head on Xiao Chun’s neck, looking like she wanted to monopolize her sister.
Xiaochun smiled and patted Tang Jin’s head, looking like she had no choice but to continue pampering her.
“Wow, wow, wow! They are so close!”
“It’s the same as in the video. Sister Xiaochun is shy!”
“I know, I know. You have a good sister.”
“Sister, you’re so protective. I’m so envious.”
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was very good. More and more netizens entered.
In just ten minutes, the number of viewers soared from the earliest one to two hundred to more than five thousand. Luo Feng raised the notification board again, indicating that they could start selling the goods.
“I was chatting so happily with everyone that I almost forgot today’s theme!” Tang Jin raised the braised chicken wings. “These are Xiao Jin’s favorite braised chicken wings!”
She opened it in front of the camera, opened her mouth and bit off half of it. She widened her eyes in surprise and said, “Oh! It’s a carefully selected turkey wing. The meat is fragrant. It’s satisfying to take a bite.”
Tang Jin began to perform her eating broadcast, taking one bite after another. She did not want to stop eating.
Xiaochun immediately chimed in, “Buy three today and you’ll get one free. The top 50 can also get two big packets of Orléans Wing Roots. There’s a limited number of slots! You can buy them by clicking on the live-stream link!”
At this point, Tang Jin had just finished eating. “The price in the live-stream is even better. The original price is 12 yuan for chicken wings. Today, it’s only 9.9 yuan. This is the free gift.”
As Tang Jin spoke, she opened another small bag of freebies and continued eating.
Even though the sequence of the lines was messed up, the two of them cooperated well and the mess up could not be detected at all.
The netizens were tempted by the live tasting. They clicked on the link one after another, jumped to the Amazon, and began to place their orders!
The first wave of data was here!
