"Brother He, the two videos we uploaded are going viral!"The guy who somehow still felt very sleepy was greeted by a burst of boisterous laughter and loud voice when he arrived at the music department"s cafeteria. This was the band members first stop this morning. Apparently, none of them had eaten breakfast yet.
"Little Nian, it"s only 7 am in the morning. Don"t shout." Cheng Du chastised as he sent a whack on the baby-faced guy"s head.
With only his eyes half-opened, Jiang Li ma.s.saged his forehead. He sat next to the quiet bespectacled guy who was actually not gaming today but checking YouTube.
"Hmm?" Through his slightly blurry vision, Jiang Li saw that under the video playing on Xie Delan"s tablet, the phrase "#3 on trending". His seatmate was not interested in watching the video, only reading comments. Intrigued, Jiang Li also joined him in reading.
"Ouch! I loved the voice! And the members are all eye candies!"
"Yep, upstairs, all them are handsome, but my bias is that cute headphone-wearing guy! Kyaaah!"
"Everyone here is weird, aren"t we all here for the song? By the way, good job boys! The harmony is nice, though the pianist has to improve more. He"s good too, but the sound of his instrument is not standing out as much as the ba.s.s. And Mr. Vocalist, you sure hit the notes perfectly. I think your cover is the best cover of this song, so far."
"Upstairs! In behalf of my future boyfriend, I"m humbly accepting the praises. *insert rows of stupidly grinning green emojis*"
"I guess I"m the only one appreciating the intellectual-looking drummer *shrugs*..."
"I got here through a friend"s recommendation. Thumbs up! But the vocalist is the most handsome of all!"
Jiang Li"s lips unknowingly curled up, not due to being praised, but because he didn"t expect the video uploaded for fun to garner this much attention. And this was without his magic.
He had planned to only do his tricks to the fifth or sixth video so that people wouldn"t suddenly suspect why an unknown group rose to fame that easily on the internet. Now, it seemed he actually underestimated his own band and voice. He began looking at He Chen"s friends in a different light.
"My work will become a lot easier this time. More time to mess with the leads then," he inwardly said with a laugh.
"Brothers, am I wrong to think that it"s safe for me to drop out of university if all our future videos will be this welcomed?"
Su Xuefeng no longer looked in pain. In fact, he acted as if nothing had happened yesterday.
The first thing this rebellious-looking guy did after learning the success of their first two videos was to ask if he could now stop attending cla.s.ses once and for all. Those who heard him couldn"t tell for sure if he was merely being stupid or trying to live up to his looks and reputation.
The stares he received from everyone was full of mockery and reproach. It was only then that the dark blonde remembered that graduation was only three months away.
"Okay, fine. Pretend that I didn"t say a thing." He subconsciously touched his nose in embarra.s.sment.
Ignoring Rascal Su, Xie Delan turned to Jiang Li and brought the screen closer to him. "Hey, He Chen, see this? With this many subscriptions, we can already enable monetization for our channel!"
"I thought we need around 1,000 subscribes to be eligible for that? There"s also that required watch hours which I totally don"t understand. But hey, our channel has only been up for less than two days!"
Nian Xiwen was the techy person among them. That would be without factoring Jiang Li in since these guys didn"t know that their great vocalist suddenly turned into someone with great hacking skills.
Nian Xiwen answered the oldest, "Big bro, it"s okay. The required watch hour is the number of viewers times the number of minutes our videos have. The two we put up already have more than five hundred thousand each. If this continued, maybe before this week ends we can fulfill the requirements."
"I don"t really get it, but if you say so, then fine." Su Xuefeng shrugged.
"I"m not talking to you!"
Jiang Li"s left hand continued ma.s.saging his forehead while the other hand reached out to his pocket. After fis.h.i.+ng out the outdated touchscreen phone there, he unlocked it and checked the inbox.
"Guys, after the first period morning cla.s.s, drop by the music room. Since we"ve all agreed to go professional, I"ll introduce someone to work with us."
Four pair of eyes went to him. Little Nian inquired, "Is it a sponsor? A studio? Or a record label?"
"We"re too green for that. Stop dreaming," Cheng Du sneered.
The nearest, Xie Delan, opened his mouth, "Speaking of introducing someone, why do I have this feeling that it has something to do with the cute girl from yesterday? You haven"t explained to us yet why she called you out. Is it a date? If so... d.a.m.n! You moved on faster than a typhoon!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Reminded of something unpleasant, the rebel guy irritatedly asked, "Is it the girl that almost committed suicide? The one hit on by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d?"
"Rascal Su, the girl is threatened by a criminal. The policeman is probably fis.h.i.+ng out information from her, not really hitting on her. But yeah, since that policeman seems close to that Tang Lan, then he"s definitely a b.a.s.t.a.r.d."
Xie Delan had a good head above his shoulder. He was a bit muddle-headed yesterday out of anger, but after a.n.a.lyzing the situation and recalling the latest threads in the forum, he managed to realize the truth right away.
Of course, as a solid brother of both Su Xuefeng and He Chen, he didn"t hesitate once to call Gu Feng a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. After all, no matter if they were right or wrong, as long as a bosom friend got the short end of a stick, he would take it as if his friend was being bullied.
Instead of explaining anything to them, Jiang Li said to the baby-faced ba.s.sist, "Little Nian, later, share our channel"s pa.s.sword to her, she will be our manager from now on."
"Brother He?" The one called frowned, puzzled. "I just browsed the forum. While I don"t care about the suicide issue, I"m concerned about why she will become our manager. Isn"t she an Accountancy student. What does she know about managing a YouTube channel or a band, especially a newly founded one?"
"Tch. How to explain this?" Jiang Li almost laughed as he cooked up some nonsense in his mind.
"Oh! Remember when I ran into the building that day? Actually, that"s how I got acquainted with both the policeman and her. Since I saved her, she asked how she could be of help to us. It"s her who volunteered to be our manager. She"s very thankful and is really persistent. It"s hard for me to refuse her. Later guys, you all help me probe what she can do to make our path to fame smoother."
He spouted these lies with a warm and comfortable smile on his face. Those listening could not help but believe him.
To be honest, Jiang Li only recruited that girl Na Yu out of sudden impulse. Also, to make the villainess promise "cooperation" with him, he told her he would try to aid the suicidal girl recover from her depression and avenger her.
The method he came up with was very half-hearted, but so what?
Anyway, it was a fact that to combat depression, apart from bringing the person away from the source of sadness and stress, giving her something to busy herself with would help divert her attention from the emotional pain.
"Maybe because I got thrown into a campus scenario, I had become a righteous person like what the baby-faced said?" he jokingly thought.
Jiang Li was initially convincing himself that it was definitely not because someone with a secret to keep like her was easier to control. However, after a second, he simply gave up.
