Chapter 24: A Short Video



“I’ve been live-streaming a lot, and I’ve already earned more than thirty-thousand. Today, a female professor from school invited me to act out a character in a film. If I make it, I would be able to earn fifty-thousand more,” Liu Man told everything to her mother.

Zhang Pei was very surprised, “Live-streaming about what? What film are you going to take part in?”

“I usually just live-stream myself selling AJs or film Daylight. Sometimes I chat with my viewers. As for the film, I’m not exactly clear about that myself. I still have to contact that professor for more information.”

“Chat with your viewers? Are those conversations appropriate? Also, you aren’t in the theater major, and we don’t have social connections either. Why would they pick you for one of their characters? How would anything be so simple?” Zhang Pei thought of some news that she had read recently and said urgently, “Don’t go do some illegal things just for the money. Your father is already in prison, I won’t let you get into any trouble.”

“It’s alright, mother. My fans are all nice to me, and we’re able to chat about anything as if we are all friends. That female professor is a guest professor at our school’s violin major. She’s also the deputy manager of a film company. She chose me because the movie they are about to film needs a character that knows how to play the piano.”

Zhang Pei felt less worried after hearing this, but still said,

“Nowadays, there are many people whose minds are not as simple as they seem. You need to be careful at all times and try not to get tricked. You should come with me for the negotiation the day after tomorrow, you will be able to witness it happening,” Zhang Pei knew it was good that her daughter could earn money now, but it was still a small amount compared to that 3 million RMB.

She didn’t think that Liu Man would become anything just by live-streaming on the internet or acting as a small character of some film. However, she never knew that the car crash her husband was in, was a turning point in her daughter’s life.

The conversation she had with Zhang Pei made Liu Man strengthen her will to continue earning money for her family.

Liu Man took out the two business cards she received today. She then opened WeChat to friend them in order. Professor Qiu’s WeChat nickname was “Galaxy – Qiu Jing.” Coco’s WeChat nickname was just as cute as her personality, “Cocoa Bean.” After filling in the verification messages, she submitted her requests.

She then switched to Wei Bo and logged out of the old Liu Man’s previous account. She signed up for a new account. It was lucky that “Princess Man”, as an ID, had not been used by anyone else.

She wrote on her homepage: “An unfamous live-streamer, second-handed AJ seller, owner of a cute cat, interested in ancient customs.”

She then uploaded a picture of Daylight with her tongue out as her first Weibo post.

She then went to take a shower. When she came back, Qiu Jing and Coco still hadn’t friended her back. Her Weibo had also been very quiet. No one had followed her yet, she hadn’t received a single comment, nor had she received a single like.

Everything started like that. She didn’t think much of it before turning off her phone, flipping open her music theory textbook, and started to study for her exams with the information she had received from Professor Qiu.

It wasn’t until half-past twelve did she go to sleep.

She did not expect that when she woke up, her WeChat had practically exploded.

Liu Man didn’t have any classes to attend for the following day. She planned to study for her exams during the morning, live-stream while writing calligraphy during the afternoon, and invite her roommates to Ju Jiu Wu for dinner as she promised.

As usual, the first thing she did after waking up was to care for her pet. After cleaning up the litter box, adding in some more cat food and water to her bowl, and petting Daylight for a moment, she finally went to clean herself up.

After doing all of these, she finally thought of checking her WeChat to see if Qiu Jing and Coco friended her back. When she turned her phone back on, she saw five unanswered calls, all from either Li Xiaoru or Wang Nina.

What was happening?

When she opened WeChat, she had more than six-hundred unread messages.

Liu Man first saw her high school group chat, where everyone who sent a message had to @ her. Nobody had even been talking here for about eight-hundred years ever since they have gotten into different colleges.

“@Liu Man. Where is she? Where did she go?”

“@Liu Man. She’s the talented girl at her music university. She would be too lazy to even reply to us.”

“@Liu Man. Hey, at least we’ve been in the same class for 18 months.”

Liu Man originally studied science when she was in high school. However, her exam results were always the worst. Liu Chenyu, her father, seeing as she had no hope to pass the annual college entrance exams, used his social connections to get Liu Man transferred to the music major in her sophomore year. After that, Liu Man whole-heartedly studied music. She attended many outside group courses and sprint courses. She didn’t make any friends within her classmates in the music major, and this high school group chat was composed of students from her original science major. She didn’t have a lot of impressions with these high school classmates. It was the class monitor who pulled her into the chat without asking for her permission.

There usually wouldn’t be anyone talking in the chat, but suddenly, there were hundreds of unread messages, and they all seemed to have to do something with her. Liu Man was confused and couldn’t wrap her head around it. She was just about to scroll all the way to the top to see what happened before a classmate uploaded a video.

“Here, I’m sending it again so you all can admire it a second time.”

Liu Man clicked open the file. It was a Tik Tok video, featuring Coco’s performance, yesterday, back at ShiGuang restaurant. It had been filmed by one of the audience members offstage when she was singing “Thinking About You.” When that audience member had uploaded the video onto Tik Tok, it had obtained millions of likes overnight. Anyone who knew Liu Man recognized her at once.

To be honest, Liu Man understood everything after she watched the first half of the video. However, when she reached the last moment when all the lights were turned back on and she went to the front of the stage, even she felt a bit surprised. Was that really her?

Some people had average appearances but looked quite pretty on camera. Whether it was to take photos or film videos, they would look much better than themselves in real life with just a bit of editing. Others tend to call this type of people “camera fraud;” another kind of person looked quite pretty in real life, but they don’t on camera. Their photos looked fat and countrified, completely different from their appearances in real life.

Liu Man was the lucky kind, who looked great on camera. Although she already looked very pretty in real life, she looked even better on that video.

Liu Man’s face belonged to the kind that looked three dimensional. Her eyebrows and forehead were prominent, like most Europeans. Her double-edged eyelids were adequate, not too thick and not too thin. The furrows under her eyes, as she smiled, gave a natural eyeshadow to her eyes. Even though she didn’t have any make-up on, her eyes still seemed huge and focused on the video.

During the performance, the technical team had given her white light to match her white Hanfu. It made her skin seemed as smooth as white china. Her entire person seemed like a white doll as if she could glow.

The video was, of course, filmed from a perspective that was below the stage. It seemed as if her entire person was very tall and gave her a unique aura. It wasn’t strange for Yu Zhan to say that she looked like a princess.

If Coco hadn’t already been famous and easily noticed, then she wouldn’t have looked so great next to Liu Man.

“At the beginning, I couldn’t even tell that she was Liu Man.”

“I recognized her from first glance,” This classmate who just spoke sent a relaxed picture of Liu Man back when she was in high school, “She still looked the same, still so pretty.”

“But her temperament seems to be different.”

“Yeah, yeah. Her temperament. Liu Man was different when she was in high school.”

“Now it seems like it’s hard to reach her or even talk to her. (frightened)”

“She was cold to us back in the old days too. Well, except for Weiwei. @Sun Weiwei.”

TL’s Note: In a few chapters before this, the author mentioned Sun Weiwei was Lawyer Sun’s only child and used to be best friends with Liu Man. But their relationship broke when Liu Man humiliated her for her appearance.

“Don’t @ me. I don’t know her,” Sun Weiwei replied coldly and never sent another message again.

The chasm made between the two girls when they were young would probably never be fixed again. Liu Man left the group chat after seeing Sun Weiwei’s message.
