Chapter 162: Song Released Across the Entire Internet!
Kyoto, hotel room.
Jiang Bai threw his luggage on the ground, not even bothering to wash off the dust of his journey, and eagerly turned on his phone.
"Tonight is the night of the decisive battle!"
"This is also the moment for me, Jiang Bai, to prove myself as a man!"
He skillfully opened the world's largest online music platform.
Register an account.
This time, he didn't hesitate at all and opened two accounts directly, like two extremes of a split personality.

Just as I was uploading, the platform popped up a huge banner saying "GG":
[The "New Voice Power" Original Musician Support Program! Millions of views await you!]
"Oh? Better late than never!"
Jiang Bai's eyes lit up.
"Check the box! You must check the box!"
"I'll participate with both accounts! Let's see who gets the support!"
Click Publish.
Approved instantly.
Looking at the notification already posted on the screen, Jiang Bai took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and began to mentally prepare himself:
"Although 'Love You' and 'Baby' benefited from their previous popularity..."
"but!"
"My Future Is Not a Dream" is of much higher quality!
"This is an inspirational anthem! A battle song that can awaken the soul!"
"True listeners will always pay for talent and ability!"
"I think I have a chance to win!"
"Even if we can't win, at least we can at least put up a 50/50 fight, right?"
Jiang Bai felt a little guilty, but he still stubbornly gave the large male account a like and added the song to his favorites.
.......
A minute passed.
Jiang Bai refreshed the phone screen.
[Jiang Bai]: 1 view (by myself), 1 favorite (by myself), 0 comments.
[Jiang Baizhi]: 15 views, 8 favorites, 2 comments.
"It's alright, it's just the beginning, let the bullets fly for a while."
Jiang Bai comforted himself.
"After all, the name Jiang Baizhi has been generating a lot of search traffic lately, so it's normal for her to get off to a fast start."
Five minutes passed.
Refresh again.
[Jiang Bai]: 1 view, 1 favorite, 0 comments.
[Jiang Baizhi]: 280 views, 56 favorites, 12 comments.
Jiang Bai's lips began to twitch.
"This...this isn't right, is it?"
"My song 'My Future Is Not a Dream' is so inspiring! Don't netizens listen to motivational songs anymore?"
Ten minutes have passed.
Jiang Bai's hand trembled as he pressed the refresh button one last time.
The screen is flickering.
Data updated.

It was deathly silent, so desolate that it looked like an abandoned grave.

The comments section below was even more lively:
"Holy crap! We finally found the audio source! The sound quality is amazing!"
"Honey! Honey, you finally released a song!"
"Is this the girl who got four turns on stage from The Voice of China? I'm following her!"
"Waaaaah, listening to 'Baby' as I fall asleep makes the world seem so beautiful."
"Liu Ming, this song is bound to be a hit!"
Looking at the bright red "99+" and that glaring "0".

Jiang Bai turned off his phone.
He felt as if his spine had been removed, and he slid down the chair onto the carpet, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Oh......."
"hehe......."
"It's over."
"It's all over."
"Completely defeated in men's clothing, utterly crushed in women's clothing."
"This damn world is all about looks!"
"This damn era of internet traffic!"
Jiang Bai covered his face and let out a heart-wrenching wail:
"Is my future not a dream?"
"fart!"
"In front of the Sweetheart Queen, my future... is nothing but a nightmare!"
He finally came to the harsh reality:
In this parallel world, Jiang Bai wants to be famous, wants to make money, wants to be popular...
I'm afraid that dress is all I can rely on.
"I ruined my big one."
"From now on, please call me—Jiang, the cross-dressing master, the queen of voice imitation, Bai."
.......
at the same time.
Kyoto, a company.
Renowned director Lai Shui slammed a thick stack of artist profiles on the table in frustration.
"No! None of them will work!"
Lai Shui rubbed his temples, his face full of worry:
"These actresses either have faces so stiff they look like they just had ten pounds of hyaluronic acid injected, or eyes so dull they look like wooden statues!"
"I want Situ Jing! The little crayfish from 'The Mischievous Princess'... oh no, the little chili pepper!"
"It needs to be sweet! It needs to be lively! It needs to be energetic! It needs to have that quirky and mischievous spirit!"
"These days, actresses are all pretty good at playing innocent, naive characters, but when they play mischievous, naughty ones, all they can do is stare and pout. It's so embarrassing, I want to curl my toes!"
The production team has been preparing for more than half a year. The male lead has been cast, and the other supporting roles are mostly cast.
The only unresolved issue is the casting of the female lead, Situ Jing.
It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that it's not quite there yet.
Just then.
A young woman, about to leave work, was passing by and discussing it with her friend:
Wow! Have you seen the trending topics on Weibo? Jiang Baizhi is so sweet! Her song "Love You" is amazing!
This exclamation made Lai Shui frown and look towards the corridor outside the room.
"sweet?"
"What's sweet?"
"Jiang Baizhi? There aren't any celebrities in the entertainment industry who are sweet enough!"
Driven by curiosity, Lai Shui opened Weibo and saw several eye-catching headlines in the trending topics without even searching.
Lai Shui randomly clicked on one, and the next second, a sound rang out.
The video playing on the screen was the live version of "Love You" performed by Jiang Baizhi at the freshman welcome party, which had gone viral online.
"Ho Baby, say more sweet nothings~"
Lai Shui's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Hmm...the image is not bad."
"She has delicate features and a sweet smile; she is indeed a beautiful girl."
But then he shook his head, his professional instincts kicking in:
"But being sweet alone isn't enough."
"The core of the character Situ Jing lies in her willfulness, in that cleverness that makes her so capable of causing a huge uproar if she's unhappy, yet you can't bring yourself to hate her."
"This girl looks too innocent, not wild enough..."
however.
Before he could finish speaking...
In the video, Jiang Bai suddenly walked to the edge of the stage.
Leaning forward, finger to lips, a flying kiss is thrown!
Immediately following was a huge heart gesture!
The most crucial thing is that look in his eyes!
That instant.
A hint of cunning, a hint of smugness, and a mischievous thought flashed through Jiang Bai's eyes: "I'm just flirting with you, what can you do about it?"
"Bang!"
Lai Shui felt as if his heart had been struck hard!
