Chapter 358: Don't Cry, There Are More Prizes to Claim
Hamson and that actress were going to be dealt with next, but Fang Jueyu didn't really care anymore. He believed that as long as Dunseng had any shred of intelligence, Fang Jueyu would see a satisfactory result.
The Grammy Awards ceremony finally commenced grandly under the watchful eyes of the world. This year's Grammys would be broadcast through television, live streaming, and other channels across the globe.
Such a grand music event attracted over a billion viewers worldwide. In Huaxia, in particular, due to Fang Jueyu's participation, the number of live stream viewers reached an unprecedented scale.
However, the immense volume of playbacks put a tremendous strain on the servers of various platforms, causing many to crash. Even those that barely held up experienced severe lag.
Amidst the sea of comments on those platforms, besides those spamming "666" and "777," there were almost only people cursing.
"Damn, why are there so many people? Is this crappy iQiyi server going to make it?"
"Don't even mention it. Over fifty million people in Huaxia are watching this award ceremony today. How can regular servers possibly handle it? It's already impressive they haven't crashed completely!"
"I even spent 15 yuan a month for a membership for this kind of viewing experience? I want a refund!"
"Brothers, the Tencent player has no lag at all, super smooth. Everyone can watch live streams on Tencent!"
"I can confirm that this is true,"
...
After seeing these messages, millions abandoned their original viewing platforms and flocked to Tencent Video. Sure enough, their servers ran smoothly without a hitch.
However, despite the initial reluctant words, after experiencing the smooth streaming, who would want to go back to any website with live streaming that resembled a PowerPoint presentation? What's a dozen yuan? For many guys, it's just the cost of a pack of cigarettes.
In just a few minutes, the number of Tencent members increased by millions! Before the Grammy's opening, the member count surged to 12 million!
Twelve million people, each subscribing to at least a month's VIP membership, brought Tencent billions in benefits directly!
"Hahaha!" Ma Teng sat in his office, sipping hot tea with a grin spread across his face. Selling a portion of the shares to Fang Jueyu was the smartest and wisest decision of his entire life.
The server capacity built by Fang Jueyu was incomparable to ordinary platforms. It was technology far ahead of its time. Even if the entire Huaxia logged onto the platform to watch, there would not be the slightest lag.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The Grammy Awards ceremony was finally about to reveal its secrets under everyone's watchful eyes!
In nearly every Grammy event, confidentiality was infallible. Before the results were announced, no one knew who the winners were, which is why stars often burst into tears of joy when their names were called.
Fang Jueyu and Guo Xinyu sat in the front row, their hands tightly clasped together. The increased grip strength showed how nervous Guo Xinyu was inside.
"Do you think we can win this time?" Guo Xinyu asked expectantly while staring at the podium.
"Of course," Fang Jueyu replied confidently with a smile.
Though the confidentiality was impeccable, it meant nothing in front of Little Yi. Fang Jueyu had already acquired the final list.
He swept eight awards himself, a feat only accomplished by a superstar like Michael Jackson at the 22nd Grammy Awards in 1980. He was recreating history!
As for Guo Xinyu, she also won two awards, but Fang Jueyu didn't want to tell her yet. He hoped to surprise Guo Xinyu.
"Host, you guys are so boring," Little Yi muttered into Fang Jueyu's ear, "Your physical structure is more perfect than humans, knowledge structure higher. Participating in something like this just bullies people, doesn't it?"
If life were like a game, this Earth would be the beginner village, and his dad would basically be the village chief. As the village chief's son, Fang Jueyu not only used his dad's power and wealth recklessly but even got a cheat code. How were others supposed to compete?
"Hehe, no problem. I'll definitely let others win next time," Fang Jueyu promised, realizing that an invincible life could indeed be quite lonely, like snow.
Soon, the host finished his long-winded speech and finally began announcing this year's award winners.
"First, let me reveal the winner of the 'Album of the Year' award," the host said, holding a golden card and glancing over the nominees in the audience. "The nominees for this award went through multiple rounds of selections, leaving 66 finalists. Who will be the ultimate winner?"
"Bang!"
The large screen behind suddenly played a segment of music full of Huaxia flair.
"Congratulations to Miss Guo Xinyu from Huaxia!"
Guo Xinyu clasped her mouth in shock by the sudden surprise. She had contemplated winning, but she hadn't expected the first award to be hers!
"Guo Xinyu! It's Guo Xinyu's album!"
"Oh wow, what a great start! Director's wife 666!"
"What are you standing there for? Go on up!" Fang Jueyu nudged Guo Xinyu.
In her formal gown, Guo Xinyu walked up to the stage with a slightly dazed expression; her mind was completely blank.
Up to now, she hadn't hosted a concert in public. To be blunt, she was merely an online singer at best. Yet, she soared to unimaginable heights, standing directly on the Grammy stage.
"Miss Guo Xinyu, congratulations!" a representative of the committee handed the trophy to Guo Xinyu.
"Miss Guo, at this moment, do you have anything to say?"
Guo Xinyu wiped the tears from her face and flashed a charming smile. "There's not much to say. I mainly want to thank the person who has always supported my creation and dreams from behind, my boyfriend!"
Faced with Guo Xinyu's gaze, the corners of Fang Jueyu's mouth also slightly lifted. At this moment, the camera panned to Fang Jueyu's face.
"Oh my gosh, the Director is so handsome, I want to have your babies!"
"Damn, I can't handle it, too sweet!"
"Is it trendy to lure dogs in and slaughter them now? I damn curse you two for a hundred years of happiness!"
"Is this really the Grammy Awards? Why does it feel like If You Are the One?"
...
Amidst thunderous applause, Guo Xinyu returned to her seat and immediately threw herself into Fang Jueyu's chest, sobbing.
"All right, all right, don't mess up your makeup; there are more awards to receive later," Fang Jueyu comforted, patting her back.
"Hmph, are Huaxia people so arrogant nowadays?" A few singers next to them overheard Fang Jueyu and were visibly upset.
Getting even one award was a lifetime honor, yet he said there were more awards to collect. Was he treating the rest of the singers as if they were air?
"Next, we announce the 'Song of the Year' award."
