Lin Yi simply skipped over similar scripts that followed. Fortunately, he managed to pick out two scripts that broke with the routine in an afternoon and temporarily put them aside.
As time goes on in the evening, different people have completely different moods.
The live broadcast room entrance released by Lin Yi earlier gradually accumulated more than 50 million viewers before 6 o'clock. The number of more than 50 million is probably an astonishing concept on Earth, but compared with the population of the empire, this number is not too astonishing.
Firstly, it was not yet seven o'clock. Secondly, and more importantly, the factor was that Lin Yi had set up a paid live broadcast room, and one had to pay two hundred to one thousand yuan in advance to enter the room.
This kind of live broadcast mode is not uncommon in the Empire. To put it simply, it is similar to watching a concert on Earth, but the audience does not need to go out to catch a plane or book a hotel. They can just lie on their sofa at home to enjoy the live experience. Moreover, this interactive experience is not one-sided. They can see Lin Yi's performance, and Lin Yi can also hear the shouts and cheers of the fans in the audience.
The higher the fee, the better the experience. Many celebrity fan meetings are held in this way, which allows fans to watch idols interact with each other up close without any uncontrollable injuries or illegitimate incidents. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The fee set by Lin Yi is not high, but it is not cheap either. Apart from the platform taking a portion of the money, the layout of the virtual venue also needs to be graded according to the amount of money. A rough estimate shows that the commission, cost and tax will be deducted by about 60%. However, even so, the remaining 40% is still very considerable.
Although Lin Yi's previous songs received a lot of tips, because he did not adopt a charging model, most of the audience who listened to his songs basically did not spend money. Now, suddenly people have to pay 200 yuan to watch a one-hour live broadcast, and many people are really reluctant to do so.
"Ah... So it's charged. I'd better wait until the live broadcast is over before listening to it."
"Wow, I've been living on dirt this month. I'm so hesitant about whether to spend this money."
There are also some sarcastic comments, saying things that are really unpleasant, "You've only released two songs, and you're already rushing to make money? How dare you charge over 200 yuan?"
Naturally, there were a lot of quarrels among fans under this comment, and there were indeed passers-by who felt that what he said was wrong, but at the same time, there was also a large number of people who were accustomed to eating for free and expressed their agreement.
In addition, fans like Song Shu and Xi Qingyu who were not on good terms with Lin Yi’s fans came to interfere at the right time. After checking the number of people who actually paid for the live broadcast, they started to mock in a sarcastic tone: “A lot of people are just there for fun, but the number of people who really paid is only over 10 million. This is a scene of confusion.”
"Pfft, Lin Yi's traffic is really hard to figure out. I thought this momentum was so great that it could attract people from the entire empire. Haven't their fans always boasted that they are idols of all ages in the empire?"
The production crew of "Where Are We From", who had been nervous until now, felt a lot more relieved after seeing this. The number of audiences in their TV station's live broadcast room was now basically the same as that of Lin Yi, and the pressure was much less than they thought.
They also didn't expect Lin Yi to set up a charging model, which is basically in contrast to "Where We Come From·Music Special", because the program team here also holds a lottery, and draws two thousand people directly from the online audience every ten minutes to receive cash rewards.
One takes money and the other gives money, which indeed makes many viewers shaken.
The key point is that Lin Yi's live broadcast is not gone now, but it can be watched for free a few days after the live broadcast ends. In comparison, many people think it is better to watch the second episode of "Where Are We From" instead.
Amid the hustle and bustle, time passed until six fifty.
The lights in Lin Yi's live broadcast room changed from off to on, indicating that preparations were underway and the live broadcast would begin soon.
Lin Yi took a look at the background data, then opened the set virtual stage and entered it.
Little A at the side happily moved the sofa over for Lin Yi to sit on. After seeing Lin Yi sit down, he waited attentively by the side to see what Lin Yi needed to do.
Lin Yi glanced at the time and said, "I'll be busy for about an hour. You don't have to accompany me. Go do whatever you want."
Little A nodded, thought for a while, and moved to the balcony again. Little D hadn't come back yet, so he went to the balcony to wait. This was a habit he had formed over the years. Little A's life always revolved around one thing.
Lin Yi's personal terminal rang with a reminder sound. He lowered his head and took a look. It was a message from Qin Nuo, "Is it about to start?"
He is still in the military office, so it might not be appropriate for him to listen to the live broadcast.
"Well," Lin Yi, who knew his schedule, smiled, "or you can go to the toilet to listen, but staying in the toilet for an hour might arouse suspicion from your subordinates."
If you're not careful, constipation might make the headlines.
Lin Yi was amused by his own imagination, and then Qin Nuo called him directly.
"Hello?"
"What are the seven songs?" Qin Nuo's voice sounded a little depressed. What he actually wanted to ask was whether Lin Yi wrote a song for him like "Rain".
"These are all songs for you." Lin Yi has always been good at coaxing, and he doesn't care about coaxing too much. He never hesitates to show his affection to Qin Nuo.
Although Qin Nuo was silent for a moment, his voice was obviously cheerful afterwards: "See you tomorrow then."
The time turned to 6:59, and the live broadcast room was already open. The fans who paid to enter had been teleported to their locations by the virtual system.
Depending on the price paid, the fans’ positions are also different. Those who pay the most are closer to Lin Yi, and so on.
However, because it is a virtual platform, no matter how far away it is, it is impossible to raise a telescope to watch like a corner of the Earth concert. The system of the virtual venue will intelligently divide all the audiences, and only about 5,000 people will be in one venue, and then numbered down to form countless small venues.
Only audiences in the same small venue can see each other and communicate with each other.
Their cheers and other sounds will be transmitted to Lin Yi's ears through decibel reduction and sound classification processing, allowing him to feel the atmosphere without disturbing him.
At exactly seven o'clock, a spotlight appeared on the dark stage, lighting up the center of the stage. Soon after, several more rays of light came on, and the entire stage became bright.
Everyone then saw the scale of the entire stage and the surrounding scene. It was shining brightly and the layout was exquisite. It was obvious that a huge amount of money had been spent on the venue arrangement.
Lin Yi stood alone on the stage, holding the standing microphone in both hands. His face appeared on the big screen behind him. He smiled, with an indescribable tenderness between his eyebrows.
The movement of his drooping eyes was shown in close-up on the big screen, and it was like a heavy punch directly to the heart of his fans.
"I'm dead, I'm dead. What does it mean to have rippling eyes? What does it mean to have affectionate eyes? Lin Yi is killing me with his eyes!"
When fans enter the virtual concert, they can still connect to the outside world via the Internet, so it does not affect their ability to post updates and share real-time content.
However, you cannot shoot video or audio on site, and this function will be temporarily blocked by the intelligent brain.
"The first song," Lin Yi said as he stood on the stage, "Domination"
As soon as he finished speaking, a background sound was heard at the scene, and lyrics subtitles began to appear on one side of the big screen.
This song was ranked first in the domestic music charts for Lin Yi for a whole year when he was on Earth. It describes the feelings of active and passive pursuit and willing to be dominated by others. All Lin Yi had to do was to reshape the lyrics according to the common language of the empire.
The tune of the song is melodious and reveals a willing joy, dominating and being dominated, chasing and being chased, because it is a willing and morbid match made in heaven.
Lin Yi has a great grasp of the rhythm and pitch; every breath and pronunciation is in just the right place. The clever combination of melody and lyrics makes every word he utters a powerful weapon that hits the fans.
The scene, which was inevitably noisy due to the large number of people, had become completely quiet at some point. It seemed that apart from Lin Yi's voice, even the sound of breathing had disappeared.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Yi's face. Lin Yi's expression changed with the joy or sadness of the song's melody, and the audience's expressions also unconsciously changed along with Lin Yi.
It was not until five minutes later that the accompaniment of the song stopped completely and everyone gradually came to their senses. They looked at each other, and then the whole venue started cheering and applauding.
It’s amazing, the song is amazing, and Lin Yi’s interpretation with his voice, body language and facial expressions is also amazing.
There was a two-minute interval between songs. The lights on the stage dimmed again, and the background music of "Domination" sounded softly. A countdown was ticking on the screen, and Lin Yi temporarily disappeared from everyone's sight.
During these two minutes, most people flocked to the Internet. Countless people went to their home chat groups and shouted that they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they didn't watch the live broadcast, and then went online to vent their shock.
“#林奕新歌直播#Ah, cool! Love! Come! Watch! It shakes the soul, so beautiful ah, I declare that I have become a die-hard fan of Lin Yi, the song "Dominate" is really good.”
“Wow, wow, wow, Lord Lin Yi is so understanding. This song is really nice, and the feeling it creates is actually not humble at all. Instead, it’s a bit sweet… ? Anyway, it’s nice. Those who didn’t watch the live broadcast still have a chance to watch six songs. Two hundred yuan can’t buy you a loss or a scam!”
Within two minutes, such crazy recommendations and flattery broke out from every corner of the Empire Network. The density was so high that it naturally attracted the attention of many people.
It immediately attracted many hesitant fans, and the number of paying viewers in the live broadcast room increased by another 10 million.
At this time, the production team of "Where Are We From" did not feel that there was any big impact, because from the overall live broadcast point of view, their audience number was still several times more than Lin Yi's, and it had only been broadcast for five minutes and was far from reaching its peak.
But they never expected that this would be the peak ratings for the second episode of their show.
Because as the first group of audience members were brought in, more people came out almost every five minutes, excitedly trying to pull Lin Yi in, and some even said things like “If it doesn’t sound good, I’ll chop off your balls right here!”
From the first song "Domination", to the second song "Magnetic Field", the third song "Stars"... all the way to the last song "Crazy".
The order of the songs was specially arranged by Lin Yi. The emotions formed a transition, with the intensity building up layer by layer, allowing the audience's emotions to surge higher with this accumulation, and finally in the intense melody of "Crazy", they almost jumped up along with Lin Yi on the stage.
Each song is different. In the two-minute interval, the stage will change its appearance before the lights come on to best suit Lin Yi's subsequent performance.
Lin Yi also went from singing while holding the microphone to singing while playing the guitar, and finally singing while dancing.
"Magnetic Field" expresses the sweet feeling of two people being attracted to each other and getting closer to each other.
"Stars" are guiding lights and a feeling of lucky attachment.
When the performance reached "Crazy", the style of the entire venue had changed drastically. Facing the audience's bright eyes and faces flushed with excitement, Lin Yi's voice became low and deep, and he perfectly conveyed the emotion of a person who has fallen in love and lost his mind, and is crazy for the other person, in a rock and roll way.
The seven songs express seven ways of falling in love, with the same core but different styles, an experience that almost washes over the listeners' brains.
Each song brought in a new group of viewers, and by the time "Crazy" ended, the live broadcast room had already had a billion viewers. Many people initially thought that they had missed out on the first few songs, and that it would be a loss to spend the same amount of money to enter the live broadcast room later, but then they began to realize from the constant humming and humming of listeners that the longer they waited, the more they would lose.
Therefore, those who waited for the last group to enter and only heard the last song "Crazy" did not regret spending their money. The only thing they regretted was not entering earlier.
"I cried so loudly. Why did I miss the first three songs? Lord Lin Yi must be a god! He must be a god! Is this what the legendary fairy music sounds like? Every song is so good."
"I only heard the last two songs, and now I just want to beat my yesterday self to death."
"Before I went in to listen, I thought two hundred was too expensive, but after listening, I felt that it was an ultimate enjoyment at a bargain price. That hour just now was simply the most wonderful hour of my life!"
