Chapter 175 - Charity Vlog
175 - Charity Vlog
Ethan loved the toys I got him.
Especially the blue Honda NSX remote control I bought him was his favorite gift of all.
As for the children at the orphanage, the children who were old enough to play with toys loved the toys I bought them, while the older children were happy with the new clothes I bought them.
Benjamin was once again thrilled with the gift I bought him, just as he was with the show I put on, but I just acted naturally while handing out the gifts.
I also took the opportunity to record the whole project.
From the part where I left the house with Jason to rent a trailer to hook up to the car, to the part where I bought the gifts, to the part where I gave Ethan the gifts I bought, to the part where I delivered the gifts to the children at the orphanage.
All of those parts were great, especially with me developing a narrative and storytelling for the video.
Combined with my [Acting Mastery Lv 29] and [Stage Presence Lv 17], my video presentation became more fun and interesting the more I recorded my videos.
This was also reflected in the number of views of my videos.
While my first vlogs got between 200 and 300k views, my vlogs were now averaging 500k views, getting very close to 600k views per video.
Considering how well the vlogs paid, my income only increased.
So even if I had spent $3,000 on clothes and toys for the children at the orphanage, it was only a matter of posting a vlog with 500k views to get all that money back.
A few sponsorship offers came my way, but they were all misleading products or things that had nothing to do with my image, so even though it paid very well, I didn't care and just ignored it.
It's not like MeTube paid me very much.
For the next few days, I just focused on practicing a lot in class, editing the videos, and posting them to my channel.
Instead of putting the videos from yesterday's event at the end of the queue, I decided that I would post the video from this event on Friday, so that I could post the song on Saturday and use the video to generate hype for it, as I always do.
Unfortunately, Jack wasn't going to be on the Duncan Family episode that week, so I didn't have to go and record, and I could use the rest of my time just to focus on myself and improve.
In my acting classes, I had raised my skill level once again.
[Acting Mastery Lv 29 -> Lv 30]
I have to admit that studying at this school was the best decision I made for my career, because not only did I find a great bridge to get into the world of acting, but I also made some great friends, and most importantly, my skills improved to an absurd level!
[Dancing Mastery Lv 15 -> 17]
The only skill that didn't level up this week was my Singing skill, but considering that it was already at Lv 40, it was understandable that it would take longer to level up now.
Whenever a skill crossed a dozen levels, the difficulty of improving its level increased greatly, and considering that Sing was already at a level as if I had 10 years of practice, it was already at a much higher level than a D-rank artist like me needed.
Considering that Laura's acting skill was above Lv 40 and she was once a C-rank artist, I knew that I didn't have to worry about raising the level of this skill anytime soon.
So on Tuesday, I posted a normal vlog on my MeTube account, while on Friday, I posted my vlog about the charity concert I did.
Since Selena couldn't find a satisfactory place for me to do the show on Friday, leaving my Saturday and Sunday free, I just stayed at home and watched the results of the video, watched the reaction of the live videos, and answered the comments of affection and doubt they had about me, doing a mini Meet and Greet in the comments of the video.
To my surprise, the video, which would normally get 60-80k views in the first hour, had over 150k views!
[My first benefit concert... it was amazing!]
was the title of the vlog.
From the comments, it was obvious that people were clicking through out of curiosity and were happy to see something good being done, just like I felt when I watched Beast videos in my previous world.
Of course, I was on a completely different scale than he was.
While he was spending millions per video to deliver incredible content and make a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of people, I was only able to donate a few thousand dollars and make a small difference in the lives of a few dozen children.
But the people in the comments were happy.
[I didn't know BlackVelvet before, but I'm impressed! What talent and what a generous heart. I'm already a fan!]
[What an incredible show! BlackVelvet always rock and for such a noble cause. Loved every minute of it!]
[The performance of 'You've Got a Friend in Me' was so moving. You can see how much he cares for these kids... Someone with no heart, who would only do this for money, definitely wouldn't care about making a song for the children... but can anyone tell me if he actually wrote the song?]
[Yes, I looked up the name of this song and found that the song is registered as a song sung by BlackVelvet, written by BlackVelvet, and composed by BlackVelvet, meaning that he did everything in this song, from the lyrics, to the voice, to the guitar, all apparently sung for the children].
[Did you see when he got emotional? I think it was when he looked at his family in the audience].
[Is the little boy on the man's shoulder BlackVelvet's brother? He looks like a younger version of Jack Storm because of the black hair LOL]
[I want to hear the whole song so badly... please release it today!!!]
When I saw people's comments, I had a big smile on my face.
Not to mention how good it was for my public image, I had gained thousands of subscribers from this video alone!
Adding up the subscribers from this video with how many I had gained over the past few days, I finally reached the 400k subscriber mark!
[400,000 Metube subscribers] +60,000 Subs
Since I had a gig tomorrow night, I wouldn't see the reaction of the live audience to the release of this video, but I was confident that it would do well.
What I didn't expect was a phone call from Laura with great news for me.
