As time ticked by, the number of contestants arriving on stage increased, but there was still some time before the awards ceremony began.
The awards ceremony was scheduled to start at 2 p.m., and even though Bai Yu and the others arrived so early, they could only sit and wait under the stage.
Fortunately, Bai Yu's company was very thoughtful, providing lunch, snacks, and drinks for the contestants present.
Meanwhile, some of their company's talented live streamers were also performing on stage.
Like many internet companies, Yuxue Shipping Company has also ventured into the entertainment sector, opening voice chat rooms, karaoke rooms, and dance halls on Douyin and Kuaishou.
However, unlike other entertainment halls that recruit people from all over the place, Bai Yu's company selects its entertainment hall staff from among the fans. Anyone who comes can give it a try.
In other words, their company has built a platform to provide fans with an opportunity to make money; it all depends on whether the fans can seize the opportunity.
If some of them are particularly talented, they can be signed with their company and given focused training.
The streamers performing right now are the streamers from their company.
This fishing competition has generated a tremendous amount of buzz, and with such high popularity, it's only natural to offer some perks to our employees.
Those with talent are welcome to perform, and how much buzz they generate depends entirely on their own abilities.
Bai Yu and his three companions sat in their seats, eating lunch while watching the performance on stage.
"Shuangzi, where did you find these guys? They're pretty strong. These kids must have been training since they were little; their fundamentals are really solid!"
The people performing on stage right now are a group of kids around twenty years old. Don't let their young age fool you; they're performing acrobatics, the kind where you have to see real skill.
Have you ever seen someone break a boulder on their chest? Have you ever witnessed someone facing mountains of knives and seas of fire?
He had never met Bai Yu before, but today he saw aerial acrobatics, aerial human ladders, and other such projects.
Each performance was more spectacular than the last, and the children really put in a lot of effort and hard work.
"Brother Yu, these kids are pretty good, aren't they? I discovered them in our live stream. They all have a knack for training since they were five or six years old."
It's a pity that in this day and age, acrobatics is no longer popular. The only ones who can really make money are those acrobatic troupes that have already made a name for themselves. For the rest, just surviving is a difficult thing.
And then I picked them up, didn't I? I specifically called these kids over; with their talent, they shouldn't be overlooked."
Li Shuang was also looking at the stage with a smile on his face. He was pleased with the group of kids he had discovered, at least they hadn't let him down in today's performance.
At the same time, Li Shuang also understood that after today's performance, these children had gained some fame, and their future development would be much smoother.
What? You don't believe me?
If you don't believe it, just look at the number of viewers in Yuxue Company's live streams. The combined number of viewers in the two live streams exceeds 40 million. With so many people watching, will they have any difficulty navigating the future?
Even if you don't become a huge star, you can definitely make a living and have some spare cash.
These young acrobats are just one example; many other anchors also take to the stage to perform, and the audience is growing larger and larger.
All the performers left around 2 p.m., and then the main event began.
Amidst rousing music, Bai Yue walked onto the stage, accompanied by a table covered with a red cloth.
Bai Yue walked up, while the table was raised and lowered, which was very convenient.
After a very simple opening speech, which was really very simple, it just mentioned which fan fishing competition it was, who the organizer was, and which sponsors were, and that was it.
Without any further ado, Bai Yue immediately moved on to the awards ceremony.
"Alright, I've said enough. I won't take up any more of your time. Let's get straight to announcing the winners and distributing the prize money, shall we?"
"Now let's take a look at what the prizes are for this competition. As viewers who are familiar with our competitions know, the prizes for the competitions organized by our company are always only one thing: money. We only reward money!"
After Bai Yue finished speaking, she ripped off the red cloth from the table next to her.
Then a pile of RMB appeared in front of the audience, which caused a series of gasps from the crowd!
After all, that's 20 million yuan in cash, and each bill is a hundred yuan. Such a large amount of cash is very eye-catching.
Of course, the audience just watched; they didn't do anything extra.
After all, besides a pile of cash on the stage, there were also several armed guards standing to the side; they really did have guns.
Before the audience could react, Bai Yue's voice rang out again.
"Now let's invite Bai Yu from fishing boat number 23, the winner of this competition's Fish King, to the stage to receive his award. He has won a cash prize of 1.5 million yuan. Let's invite our company's Bai Yu to the stage to receive his award!"
Next, let's give a warm round of applause to our award presenter, Ms. Bai Yue, Vice President of Yuxue Shipping Company, to present the awards to our contestants!
That's right, I'm the one presenting the award. Can't I give myself a round of applause? Where's the applause?!
When Bai Yue announced that Bai Yu had won the Fish King award, her voice was very calm, but when she asked for applause for herself, her voice was passionate.
This is because the winner is Bai Yu, and most viewers know about her relationship with Bai Yu. Otherwise, given her attitude, Bai Yue would probably have faced a barrage of online criticism and harsh comments about her lack of professional ethics.
Bai Yu then stood up from his seat. He did not go to the stage immediately, but first shook hands with Li Shuang and others next to him.
This familiar scene evokes a sense of déjà vu, with netizens feeling as if they've seen it somewhere before.
Then Bai Yu came onto the stage. He first patted Bai Yue's head and said, "Well done."
During the awards ceremony, various news items about the competition also trended on Douyin and Kuaishou's hot search lists.
Moreover, they topped the list by dominating the rankings, especially with the prize money of up to 20 million, which was simply too attractive!
