Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

Watching Zhang Yang's live stream, Liu Yifei felt that Zhang Yang was a rare and genuine person in the entertainment industry, not pretentious at all.

If Zhang Yang knew what Liu Yifei thought of him, he would probably burst out laughing. He was just acting, and Liu Yifei actually took it seriously. Did she think this live broadcast was unscripted?

Zhang Yang had no idea what Liu Yifei was thinking. He sang three more songs for which he had purchased the performance rights: "Arrogant", "Karaoke Forever OK", and "Love Heaven and Earth".

All three songs were upbeat, instantly electrifying the atmosphere at the venue.

After the three songs, the interactive session began. Zhang Yang randomly invited a lucky fan to the stage and asked her to choose a scenario and perform impromptu.

The female fan first gave Zhang Yang a big hug, then her pretty face flushed with excitement, and she stammered, "It's like... waiting for your sweetheart in the first snow, but never seeing them again, that feeling of disappointment."

The lights changed, and the snow machine slowly began to fall. Zhang Yang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his entire demeanor had changed. He didn't say a word; he just stood quietly in the falling snowflakes, his eyes shifting from expectation to anxiety, then to a faint despair, and finally to a bitter smile.

The three-minute impromptu performance left the entire audience in complete silence. When the lights came back on, many audience members were quietly wiping away tears.

Immediately afterwards, comments from netizens appeared randomly on the big screen, and Zhang Yang spontaneously interpreted them through performance.

"Exhaustion after get off work!"

Zhang Yang instantly hunched over, his eyes filled with weariness.

"The thrill of receiving a message from my crush!"

Zhang Yang's lips unconsciously curled up, and his fingers tapped lightly.

After performing four or five segments in a row, Zhang Yang concluded: "Performance originates from life, and life requires sincerity."

"That's what an actor should be!"

A comment in the live stream expressed everyone's feelings.

Zhang Yang, slightly out of breath, bowed to the camera: "This is how I understand acting—not the accumulation of techniques, but genuine empathy."

The fans at the scene shouted in unison once again.

"Zhang Yang!" "Zhang Yang!" "Zhang Yang!"

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Zhang Yang walked from the main stage into the aisle between the audience seats, a sudden move that stunned both the audience at the venue and those watching on screen.

He casually sat on the steps, gently placing the microphone beside him: "Let's chat in a different way, like friends."

A staff member quickly handed him a handheld microphone, but Zhang Yang shook his head: "We don't need these today."

He raised his voice and addressed the audience in his most authentic tone: "Before becoming a star, I was a living, breathing human being. Now, I want to hear your stories."

A girl wearing glasses timidly raised her hand: "Brother Yang, I failed my postgraduate entrance exam this year, and I don't know if I should continue..."

Zhang Yang listened attentively, then said gently, "Do you know how many takes I had to do for the first shot? I can tell you, it took a full twenty-seven takes before it was barely acceptable."

After saying that, he smiled slightly: "But every NG makes me more aware of where I went wrong, and it also allows me to continue to improve in the future."

At that moment, a middle-aged man took the microphone, his voice choked with emotion: "My daughter is your fan, she's in the hospital..."

Zhang Yang immediately stood up and walked towards the father: "Could you tell me which hospital she's in? I'd like to visit her after this is over."

This sincere gesture drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The comments in the live stream started scrolling wildly:

"This is a true idol!"

"Her down-to-earth attitude is so endearing!"

"Zhang Yang looked at that father with such sincerity!"

After all, at that time, celebrities were still in the trend of projecting an aloof and unapproachable image, while the down-to-earth image had not yet become popular. Zhang Yang was the first to try this approach, and the results were surprisingly good.

After the interactive session, it was time for the singing segment.

"Although summer has passed, I still cherish it. It witnessed my most passionate growth. Here is a song called 'Summer in a Small Town' for everyone."

A cheerful intro begins.

"The orange sunset was swallowed up by the horizon;"

As night slowly unfolded, the twinkling stars were revealed.

I listened to familiar music through my headphones:

From earnest snow to smiling eyes.

It has to be said that the rhythm of the song "Summer in a Small Town" is really cheerful.

"Original Time and Space" was released in 2022. As soon as it was released, it became an instant hit on social media. Zhang Yang was able to remember the song because he kept hearing it while scrolling through short videos, and over time, he remembered it.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang sang "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "The Mute" again, and then it was time for the script.

At this moment, a girl in a wheelchair was pushed to the front of the stage by staff. She was clutching a magazine with a cover promoting "My Love from the Star" tightly in her hand, the cover of which was already frayed from being turned over.

"My name is Xiaoyu!"

The girl's voice was soft, yet it clearly echoed throughout the silent venue: "After the accident three months ago, it was the character Li Qingyan who accompanied me through the most difficult rehabilitation period."

Zhang Yang slowly squatted down to be at eye level with the girl: "Can you tell me which scene moved you the most?"

Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "It was episode 14, when Li Qingyan said, 'Four hundred years of loneliness, it turns out, was to wait for someone worth protecting.' At that moment, I suddenly realized that the pain I had experienced might have been to help me meet a better version of myself."

The venue was silent; everyone held their breath as they listened to the conversation.

Zhang Yang was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked to the control panel: "Director, please bring up the scene from episode 14, scene 32."

Immediately, an image of Li Qingyan giving a monologue under the starry sky appeared on the big screen. Surprisingly, Zhang Yang began to dub the scene in sync, and every breath and every pause perfectly matched the image.

Countless netizens watching the live stream left frantic comments.

"I don't believe this live stream wasn't scripted; it was definitely rehearsed!"

"You can still remember over 800 words of dialogue? You're kidding me!"

However, these sarcastic remarks were drowned out by more comments like, "Is it really that hard to acknowledge someone else's excellence?"

The moment the dubbing ended, Zhang Yang turned to Xiaoyu: "You see, we all remember those moments that helped us grow."

He took a star-shaped brooch from his pocket and gently pinned it to Xiaoyu's collar: "This is Li Qingyan's prop, now it's yours."

Zhang Yang's impromptu move drew enthusiastic applause from the audience. Even more surprisingly, Zhang Yang solemnly announced to the camera: "In Xiaoyu's name, I will donate 1000 million yuan to the All-China Rehabilitation Center to help more people."

No one understands the destructive power of charity better than Zhang Yang, who is quite pragmatic and wants to gain greater prestige through this charitable donation.

The live stream has been going on for almost an hour and is about to end.

Looking at the waving stars below the stage, Zhang Yang rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, walked to the piano, and slowly sat down.
