Gamer Superstar Chapter 77 77 - Vlog Reaction

In the dormitories of a university campus in the United States, a girl was playing with her cell phone while lying face down with her legs up on the bed.

Her na is Zoey, a veterinary student who had completed her assignnts but was now bored to death.

Her fingers were dragging across the Tube screen, looking for a good recomndation from the algorithm, but everything that ca up was too boring for her.

The Tubers she used to watch when she was younger didn't hold her attention anymore because their content was still geared towards kids, the artists she followed hadn't released any new music, there was nothing very interesting to watch.

Then an interesting video appeared.

The first thing she noticed was the video's thumbnail, which was a boy about her age singing on a stage with a lively audience watching him, which made her curious.

It's been a while since I've co across a new artist, shall I see if this one's any good?" she wondered.

On the other side of the thumbnail, a man was cursing the singer.

Does he even get hate? Is he really any good?" Despite her suspicions, Zoey's curiosity grew.

Seeing that this artist's channel didn't have a verified icon, Zoey quickly deduced that he was a newcor.

But the number of views on the video showed that he wasn't so new, as the video had been posted an hour earlier and already had 37k views.

Finally clicking on the video, Zoey looked at BlackVelvet's channel and saw that he already had 70k subscribers, which was not a small number, which increased her curiosity about this artist.

As far as she could tell, this channel was only used to post his music, but now he was starting to post vlogs, which was worrying.

It was hard to find soone who knew how to vlog from the beginning.

People who started vlogging tended to make the videos very boring, only after a few years did the videos get interesting, but by then most people would have given up.

Zoey knew this from experience, she had also tried to start a vlog channel, but it didn't work out, so she just gave up and focused on studying.

Pressing the play button with a little trepidation, Zoey watched the video.

Unlike what she had imagined, where the video would just be the artist sitting in front of the cara talking in a boring way, this BlackVelvet video was different, it was recorded as if the viewer was present at the singer's routine, apparently.

"So do you have a plan for how you're going to perform today?" A girl who was driving asked, who Zoey assud was either the artist's manager or his girlfriend.

"I have a plan for how I'm going to start, since they didn't want to hire to open the show, I thought I'd first analyze how the audience will be, what song the previous artist will play, and then choose between Numb or The Lazy Song to start." BlackVelvet explained, making Zoey look a little surprised.

"Is he unhappy that he has to be the first artist of the night to perform? What's his rank?" Zoey wondered in surprise, but began to beco fascinated with the video.

The video wasn't just random things thrown at the screen, but the editing of it was all built around a very interesting narrative that focused on how BlackVelvet, a Rank E artist, was causing problems by performing with other Rank E artists or even so Rank D artists!

Although what he said sounded arrogant, the calm way he spoke and the point that he was actually causing problems for the Rank D artists was proof enough that it wasn't arrogance, but confidence in one's own talent.

Zoey was shocked and excited to see how interesting his routine was, the difficulties he had in keeping the audience entertained while being an unknown artist, the calculations they had to make to bring in more people to heat up the show or let the audience leave and cool the show down.

This was the kind of thing she never paid attention to when she was at parties, because she just went along with things as they happened, but now that she had seen this point of view from an artist, Zoey was excited to go to another party at a bar and pay attention to how the artists behaved on stage.

Towards the end of the video, the fight finally broke out!

The perforr who was talking nonsense to BlackVelvet had his face censored, which frustrated Zoey, but she realized at the end of the fight that BlackVelvet had specifically asked his agent for that perforr's na so the audience would know who it was!

"Hahaha." She started to laugh as she realized that even though he seed nice and his agent seed serious, neither of them were saints and both had a side that liked mischief.

When she finished watching the 14-minute video, Zoey realized that she had been so entertained that she hadn't even noticed the ti!

Without thinking twice, she clicked the "Like" button and subscribed to his channel, hoping to be recomnded more videos like this in the future.

Curious, Zoey read the comnts to see what other people were thinking.

[I love how BlackVelvet just stands in front of the cara at all tis.]

[An artist's route looks really cool!]

[I didn't know that being a singer was so complex.]

[I thought to be a singer you just have to go on stage and sing your songs, this part of dealing with the audience and getting people excited for the next singer was sothing I didn't even imagine!]

[Who knew that if you were a good singer, you'd cause problems because you were better than the singer who ca after you! LOL]

[I like this channel, 1 Sub]

[The other singer was right, you are very arrogant kid, improve your humility before you feel like the best singer in the world, you are just a rank E singer, so act like one!]

[I was curious about the songs you sang in the video, I'll look for more].

Looking at the comnts, Zoey noticed that the approval rate of the comnts was over 90%, which was already a very good number considering that there were always people complaining about things in the comnts tab of every video.

In the ti that she had clicked on the video so far, the views had already increased from 37k to 41k views, which showed that the video was doing very well!

The number of likes for the video was at 7k, which was almost 20% of the views converting to likes, sothing that she, having tried her hand at being a Tuber in the past, knew would make BlackVelvet's channel do very well, as the site would recomnd the next videos to those people who gave likes, increasing the chances of the next videos getting even more views.

Feeling that this Tuber was worth following, Zoey got excited about this channel and decided to listen to his other songs to see if she could hear the full version of Boyfriend, which was the song of his that caught her attention the most.

- Noah's POV -

Arriving at the wedding, the bride and groom were still going through the ceremony while , Selena and Jason were moving things from the car to the stage while we talked.

Jason had already recorded so parts of our arrival, our preparation, and left everything organized so that when I went to edit, I could add another narrative to the video to keep the audience's attention.

All the while, I was excited to open my channel on my phone and see how many views the video was getting, but I controlled myself and left it until I got ho.

If the video had 20 or 30,000 views in the first 24 hours, I would have been satisfied.

"Let's just confirm the structure of the show, the bride and groom and the guests like rock songs, but they also like upbeat pop songs, what we need is for you to follow that style and try to keep the audience as excited as possible for the party until the mont I co back to tell you to sing the song you made for them. That's okay, right?" The party organizer ca to to confirm again.

I nodded. "Don't worry, this kind of music is my specialty."

The woman nodded her head in agreent. "Yes, I've researched your songs and I'm very pleased with your rank, the only song I'm going to ask you not to play is Boyfriend."

Surprised, I thought about it and realized that Boyfriend isn't really the most recomnded song to sing at a wedding, is it?

Even if it was just one song, singing about how soone's boyfriend isn't so good and that there's soone else waiting for the woman would be a big problem if that was really the case with any of the guests at the party.

Considering that at weddings there was almost always soone who liked one of the bride and groom and didn't want it to work out, singing a song like that would be asking for disaster.

So I nodded quickly, agreeing with her and making sure I wouldn't sing that song.

"Okay, the ceremony is over and the guests will be arriving in a few minutes, you can finish warming up and play sothing so they don't arrive and everything is quiet." She said.
