Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Chapter 229: Cantonese Song?



Today in the live stream, Jiang Siming didn't even play much Chicken Dinner. Because when playing Chicken Dinner, he wouldn't have time to watch the chat or chat with his fans. He usually wouldn't watch the chat when he played games. Today was Fans' Day, and since it was a day for the fans, of course, he should spend good time with them.

So today, Jiang Siming didn't play Chicken Dinner but instead played a game of Fight the Landlord with Dumb Little Sister and Tuantuan! That's right, three top streamers from Douyu played Fight the Landlord together. Playing Fight the Landlord doesn't require constant focus on the screen, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere and chatting with fans. This was also the second game Jiang Siming played in his live streams, and the audience jokingly said they were lucky to witness this scene in their lifetimes.

"Three 2s and a pair of As, want?" Jiang Siming had a very good hand this round and was the landlord, bullying the two girls at will.

"That's too much, bomb him, Dumb Dumb!" Tuanyuan said angrily.

"Alright, four Js!" Dumb Dumb didn't even think and threw them over.

"Thanks for the double from Dumb Dumb, two Kings, I'm out." Jiang Siming clicked the mouse, throwing out his last two cards.

"Oops, I forgot he called double."

"Me too."

"We have to stick notes again, wailing..."

"I even have to scold myself as a pig, sniffling."

The stakes for their game of Fight the Landlord were for Dumb Dumb and Jiang Siming to stick notes on their faces, while Tuantuan, who didn't like showing her face, chose to scold herself...

Currently, Dumb Dumb had the most notes on her face, almost covering her entire face, while Jiang Siming only had two. He had won the most, and his luck with the cards was quite good today. However, the three of them weren't fully focused on the game and were mostly chatting with each other. Jiang Siming rarely talked to them except for playing games with them.

Of course, it couldn't all be blamed on Jiang Siming; the two of them also had their streaming work and indeed had little time. Today, I finally got the chance, so the two girls weren't really focused on the game, otherwise they wouldn't have lost so much. Jiang Siming's way of chatting with them actually indirectly brought them a lot of flow and popularity.

As a result, both of their potential values surpassed Snow Sister's, ranking them second and third, pushing Snow Sister to fourth place. Thinking back to last month, when Jiang Siming just started broadcasting, it was these two girls who brought him popularity. In just one month, Jiang Siming has already made the two leading anchors of Douyu look up to him with admiration. On the contrary, every time Jiang Siming brings them to play games, it always results in a significant increase in their gifts and popularity. All the way until midnight, the first round of the Fans Festival competition officially ended.

The top twenty broadcasters from all categories advanced to the next round of PK tomorrow. In just one day, Douyu has earned at least tens of millions in gift profits, and the profits from the second and third rounds will increase several times or even more. In the PUBG category, the top twenty have also been decided, all familiar faces, with several well-known major broadcasters advancing. Jiang Siming topped the list with 121,114,870 points, approximately 120 million in potential value, while the second place, a small group, only had 13 million.

"Alright, for the final time, I'll sing a new song for everyone, and then I'll sign off and rest." Jiang Siming was quite satisfied with today's performance.

It seems that winning the first place in the Fans Festival isn't a big issue. Maintaining this momentum, the first place is definitely within reach.

"Oh! Finally here!"

"The music fans rise up!"

"Music fans UP UP!"

"Finally going to sing, this is the part I look forward to every day."

"I love listening to love songs, super awesome!" Discover exclusive tales on empire

"Every new song by Ming God is super popular."

"Tuanti is the largest supplier of silly music on Douyin, while Ming God is the largest supplier of popular music on Douyin." "The analysis above is spot on, they are a perfect match."...

Knowing that Jiang Siming was going to sing a new song, a large number of viewers from Douyu came over. Although they were fans of various big streamers, this did not stop them from enjoying listening to Jiang Siming sing. Music has a broader audience than games. Games are liked by only a portion of people, but good music is loved by everyone. Many streamers had already prepared their little stools and sat down to wait. This time, Jiang Siming didn't go outdoors to sing, leaving the audience a bit disappointed. Sitting in front of the piano, Jiang Siming closed his eyes and casually pressed a few keys, and a beautiful melody spread out. It was unfamiliar, yet captivating.

"The song today is called 'Mask,' it's a Cantonese song, okay." This was also something Jiang Siming impulsively wanted to sing; he had just obtained the "Cantonese Proficiency" fragment yesterday and was eager to try how it would sound singing Cantonese as an inland person. When they heard it was a Cantonese song, the audience was a bit confused—what's going on, is Ming God from Guangdong? But why didn't Jiang Siming have any trace of a Cantonese accent?

Regardless of their surprise, everyone still wanted to listen first. Ming Shen's first Cantonese song, it was unknown how it would compare to his Mandarin songs. The prelude's notes were like the stern of a sunken ship hitting the water, producing a mesmerizing sound that tugged at the heart.

Moved by this accompaniment, the audience didn't even want to send comments, silently sitting in front of their computers or lying in bed with their phones. In this night, it seemed like everyone had lost their voices.

"Dreams that were to be dreamed, but the passion gradually turns cold. Falling and passing through, one will understand, who is playing with the silence. Behind, there is a desire to go wild, but looking for a moment to indulge. Daring once like fighting terrorism, also tried being too impulsive..."

It was a completely Cantonese singing style, with the entire lyrics sung in Cantonese. Many viewers couldn't understand the lyrics and didn't know if they were authentic, but in this live stream, there were also many viewers from Guangdong, and even some from Hong Kong.

"This Cantonese is too pure! I can't hear any Mandarin flavor at all."

"At first, I thought it would be awkward, afraid he would sing in an unappealing way, but I didn't expect it to sound so good!" "If Cantonese could be graded, I would give Ming God a level ten! He sings more standardly than we do in Guangdong!"

"Is Ming God from Hong Kong? Why is his Cantonese our authentic Hong Kong pronunciation?"...

Cantonese actually has different categories; the Cantonese in Guangdong and Hong Kong are quite different. Jiang Siming sang in the Hong Kong style of Cantonese. Unexpectedly, he won over the Hong Kong audience as soon as he opened his mouth. Together with the lyrics, it left nothing for the Cantonese and Hong Kong audience to criticize; it was entirely in the Cantonese style. The lyrics seemed to rhyme at all, but that's only if you sing them in Mandarin.

When sung in Cantonese, they fit perfectly, and there's no sense of awkwardness.

"Major events are not weighed by their severity, missing and regretting still requires a charge. Charging out of the predicament, the image is as valiant as a righteous warrior. But is there any communication for a ceasefire..."

If it weren't for the fact that no one had really heard this song before, everyone would have thought it was written by a famous Hong Kong lyricist. How can the lyrics be written so well, not to mention there's not a hint of Chinese flavor, and it's sung with such taste!
