Lin Xiaomiao: Brilliant? Isn't it just a song? How come one person is playing multiple roles?
Yuan: Oh my, you'll know once you see it. It's just one person singing several roles!
One person singing several roles? How is that even possible?
Many people reading the message in the group chat felt as if their hearts were being scratched by a cat. Having never heard of anything like this, they simply couldn't imagine what it was like.
By this time, the quick-handed ones had already clicked on the video, especially the colleague nicknamed Flower Moon Girl.
She was an avid fan of ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) culture, and A-Site was as familiar to her as her own home, so she was the first to see the video.
At first, the screen was pitch-black, but as the camera moved, a figure appeared in the frame. The figure wasn't particularly tall or handsome, and even looked a bit constrained, just standing quietly in front of the microphone, focusing intently ahead.
Then, the music started. With a raise of his left hand, the expression on the figure's face suddenly changed.
But what really surprised her was that the voice of the Singer didn't sound like a boy at all, but like a little girl.
"Ah?! How is this possible?"
Before she recovered from her shock, other people also started clicking into the video one after another.
Li Guang's performance continued, and by the time the Teenager's voice came out, Flower Moon Girl was already numb. Her expression was frozen, but her eyes were full of stars.
"So talented! He can even change his voice? How does he do that?!"
Before she finished speaking, the third type of voice emerged.
"A king?!!! A little girl, a Teenager, a king—that makes three voices already! Isn't that amazing?!"
Watching the lyric prompts marked in the video, the stars in Flower Moon Girl's eyes shone even brighter.
As the voices of the narrator and the dragon came out later on, she was visibly trembling all over, as if she had discovered some rare treasure.
"Oh my gosh, a treasure of a boy! This Singer named Li Guang wouldn't happen to be the new guy who just arrived a few days ago, would he?"
Hearing her exclamation, the colleague beside her nodded firmly.
"Yes! That's him. I even delivered documents to him, and I filled out all his account verification information myself."
"How can he be so talented? I must get his autograph!"
"Right... what? You want an autograph? Isn't he a newcomer?"
"So what if he's a newcomer? With this debut song alone, I dare say he's definitely going to be a hit!"
Seeing Flower Moon Girl's decisive manner, her colleague was momentarily in a daze.
That shy and introverted-looking young lad could become a hit?
That can't be right!
"Did you say this is his debut song?"
"Yeah, didn't you read the message in the group?"
"I did, but I didn't pay attention. Aren't debut songs supposed to be released on a music platform? Why would it be posted here?"
While looking for a pen and notebook and tidying her hair, Flower Moon Girl said, "How would I know? I'm not the boss."
Having said that, as if she remembered something, she suddenly picked up her phone, searched for the video anew, then clicked to share it in the group chat. This series of actions was done in one fluent motion, and she also quickly typed a message.
[Just found a treasure of a Singer! Joining the fandom now is totally worth it, come and see this god!]
After sending the message, she turned and ran outside, squatting in the artist rest area, craning her neck as she looked around for Li Guang.
Little did she know, the message she sent quickly attracted the attention of many like-minded onlookers.
"What's this? A treasure of a Singer?"
"Eh? Isn't this Flower Moon Girl's account? Has it been hacked?"
"Right, she rarely follows celebrities, doesn't she? Isn't she always after comics?"
"Who knows. I'll go check out what it's about."
"I just got back. No kidding, this Singer is really freaking incredible!"
"What's happening? Elaborate!"
"One person singing a song in five different voices, can you believe it? Both male and female voices, can you believe it? If it didn't look like an MV, and I hadn't also specifically searched for the account certification, I would think it's a spoof."
"One person, five voices, for real?"
"For real! Go listen for yourselves! Damn, it completely blew my mind!"
As more and more people joined the discussion, the curiosity among the group members also grew.
Originally, a new video would hardly get any attention in its early days. However, since quite a few colleagues had curiously watched it, it had already garnered a considerable number of views. Some people even conveniently clicked to recommend it, some shared it with their friends and family, and there were those like Flower Moon Girl who shared it in ACG communities.
Thus, the traffic drawn in grew more and more. Without exception, these people were curious enough to click in and contributed to the view count. As the view count increased and activity grew, the video's popularity rose accordingly. It naturally began to gain more weight in recommendations, quickly appearing among the top of the "Latest Works."
Curious onlookers and aimless wanderers were drawn in one after another. Upon watching, they were immediately captivated by the unique singing style and this peculiar song. They called over friends and beckoned to buddies, urging everyone to come and witness the magic.
Yes, magic, like a magical Singer.
"Awesome! Hit all three buttons! Looking forward to his ascension to godhood!"
"Can any pros step in to verify, is this for real?"
"I don't believe anyone can achieve this. If it's real, then please call me trash~"
"Feels like it's been electronically synthesized, right? Not sure, I'll watch it a billion more times."
"The opening chant hits G5, the main body of the song goes down to C3, with the highest note at D#5. Seamless switching between bel canto and pop singing starts from the second chorus. The highest note in the flourishes is C6, with a total of 12 jumping C6s."
"Wow, a pro has appeared! Pros sound so cultured when they speak. I'm not like that; I can only say, 'Awesome! Awesome!'"
"Awesome! Awesome!!"
"Hey, commenter above... have you considered watching 'Frog Head'?"
"Man, that breath control, the timbre shift, this singing technique! Is your entire neck made of lungs or what?"
"My mom asked me why I was watching the video on my knees. After she watched it, she knelt down too."
"Does your mom know you say things like that?"
"Don't ask anymore. His mom knows now, so he's currently enjoying 'stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.' Please do not disturb him."
"When it comes to roasts, netizens' roasts are the best! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"By the way, does anyone know who this Singer is? Am I the only curious one?"
"Not just you, I'm curious too. I just searched online but couldn't find anything."
"Li Guang, right? I'll ask around."
"Oh, we got an insider here? Mark. Let us know when you get the info."
"No need to ask, just look at the pinned comment."
Yuan just watched with wide eyes as this video went from being completely unknown to gradually gaining popularity.
When the video was first released, there was a string of '0's underneath it, which was nothing out of the ordinary. According to the usual pattern, a new account with a new video, no fans, and no popularity would hardly make any splash.
But she just checked after a little more than half an hour and was immediately surprised by what she saw. The video had already garnered over three hundred likes and more than forty comments.
When she thought they were all friendly likes and comments from colleagues, she suddenly realized that many of the comments were clearly from strangers. They didn't even know who Li Guang was, and some had never even heard of Xu Qingqiu Studio. This meant they were not the usual followers of the music scene.
Realizing this, she quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Yiyi.
At this moment, Yiyi, Chu Tian, and Xu Qingqiu were all together.
"Brother Tian, they say the video's starting to heat up. It's already got over three hundred likes and more than forty comments."
"Oh? That was fast. Let me check."
Chu Tian, following the provided link, watched the video from start to finish, and his expression gradually relaxed. He pointed to the comment inquiring about Li Guang and said, "See that comment? Now is the perfect opportunity. Tell your colleagues to post some info about Li Guang in the comments section and then pin it."
"Oh right, is Li Guang's account ready?"
"Yes, everything's prepared. Everyone else has registered and verified as well, but we haven't started directing traffic yet."
"Alright. Also, post his account there, and have Li Guang post something, just a greeting."
After speaking, he handed a document to Yiyi.
"Take this. Later on, follow this procedure to start promoting him."
The document contained a promotional framework that Chu Tian had designed, along with some procedural outlines. The specific content still depended on the promotion department; he just provided the general strategy.
"Got it, Brother Tian. I'm on it."
