The staff of the Star City Ani Festival naturally saw the ssage first thing. After all, netizens love to join in on the excitent everywhere, and it wasn’t just one person suggesting this idea.
As Chu Tian had anticipated, the hottest topic within the ani community was the upcoming grand event of the season: the largest ani festival in the country, the Star City Ani Festival.
And at such a critical mont, a Singer suddenly erged who was highly talked-about and perfectly matched the ani community’s vibe. It was difficult not to associate him with the ani festival. After all, the festival wasn’t just for the otaku community; its connections were far too nurous. From major ga and ani companies to various factories producing figures and rchandise, down to small street vendors—all these, interspersed with various personnel connected to the ani circle like voice actors, Singers, manga artists, gaming experts, and photographers, had always been an indispensable part of the festival.
Now, with soone floating the idea—whether they were serious or just stirring up the crowd—a swarm of people rushed to the official ’Star City Ani Festival’ account. They urged them to quickly invite this great talent and let everyone witness sothing spectacular.
The Star City Ani Festival staff, after seeing this, naturally followed the digital trail to the video. It must be said, when they first saw the video, their jaws dropped in amazent too.
Is this sothing a human can do? Did Goddess Nuwa slip up when creating people?
There are countless geniuses in the world, so why am I surrounded by nothing but duds?
Unfortunately, the ani festival had been largely prepared a month ago, and the opening and closing ceremony programs were already set. Last-minute additions were impossible; things were never that simple.
However, the staff still reported this to their superiors. Unsurprisingly, it was rejected. "What ’divine Singer’? What Li Guang? What netizen suggestions? Never heard of them. Netizens just like to join the hype; they’ll forget about it soon enough."
And indeed, that was the case. Initially, netizens were just struck by a whim, suggesting it for fun because it seed interesting. But as ti passed, with explosive bullet comnts, heated discussions, skyrocketing views, and a relentless stream of new s, more and more people clicked on the video.
anwhile, whether intentionally or not, ngng pinned and highlighted the comnt that tagged the Star City Ani Festival.
Now, people clicking in were first hit by the shock of Li Guang’s voice, then saw those nonsensical yet incredibly exciting bullet comnts. Intrigued, they lingered, eager to see what kind of masterminds were stirring things up in the comnt section. And that’s when they saw that particular comnt.
The Star City Ani Festival organizers, who hadn’t taken it seriously and hadn’t responded, only fueled the determination of a group of netizens who were either incredibly bored or simply unwilling to give up. They would occasionally go over and post a couple of comnts. Seeing more and more netizens sharing their sentint gave them a great sense of accomplishnt.
Later, people who saw this comnt also followed the digital trail to the Star City Ani Festival’s page. Seeing a flood of comnts below, all inviting Li Guang to perform live, their eyes lit up, and they rolled up their sleeves to join in.
And so, through a series of coincidences, the comnt section under the Star City Ani Festival’s official account exploded.
"What the hell? We’re trending?"
The Star City Ani Festival staff were still swamped with preparations for the event, just over a week away. They weren’t even done with their current tasks when they heard the festival was trending?
When they saw the trending topic, the relevant personnel fell silent. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but this trending topic... it was a bit strange.
Had it trended? Yes, but it was just barely hanging on at the bottom of the list.
Was it relevant? Yes, definitely. It was about the ani festival inviting a Singer.
Was the Singer a big star? Not at all. Just a complete newbie, who apparently only had this one song online, released as a video—not even an official audio track on a music platform.
And yet, for such a Singer, so many netizens were clamoring for the organizers to invite him to perform.
What on earth was going on here?
As those familiar with the situation explained the full story, the group fell silent for a mont.
"So, what do you all think... should we invite him or not?"
If we don’t invite him, the netizens’ outcry is so loud... but who knows if they’re serious or just kidding? If they are serious, well, netizens don’t always an what they say; it’s probably just for kicks. But if we dismiss it as a joke, it might get brought up later to cause trouble.
If the opening ceremony goes well, it might not matter. But if it’s disappointing, netizens will imdiately have sothing to say: ’We told you to invite so-and-so, and you didn’t! Now look at the people you invited—what a load of rubbish! This year’s organizers are terrible.’
If that really happened, their chances of securing the rights to host again would be slim.
"Invite him? Why? He’s just a new Singer who popped out of nowhere. Who knows whose impulsive idea this was? Maybe the Singer orchestrated it himself. Why bother inviting him?"
"Besides, if he really wanted to participate, wouldn’t he go through official channels? It’s not like we refuse collaborations. What’s he trying to do with this whole charade? Force our hand?"
While so objected, others naturally agreed.
"Hey, that’s a bit harsh. I just checked. This Singer is from Xu Qingqiu’s studio. You might not know him, but surely you know Xu Qingqiu, right?"
