From A Producer To A Global Superstar-Chapter 287: Streaming
The screen lit up almost instantly.
Notifications stacked over each other, messages rushing in faster than Dayo could read them. The viewer count climbed in quick jumps, the familiar rush of numbers bringing a small smile to his face before he even spoke.
"Hey guys," he said, adjusting the phone slightly so the camera framed him better. "What’s up? It’s been a long while. How’s everyone doing tonight?"
The chat exploded.
WAIT—IS THIS REAL??"
"NO WAY."
"DAYO IS STREAMING???"
"FINALLY."
"BRO DISAPPEARED FOR AGES."
"WE THOUGHT YOU DIED."
"THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
@AmandaR: FINALLYYYY
@ZionWave: bro disappeared 😭
@MarcusJ: DAYO??
@ElenaK: thought you retired or something
@TheoLive: nah this is crazy
Dayo laughed softly, shaking his head. "Relax, relax. I didn’t disappear. Life just... happened."
More comments flooded in.
@NinaBlue: where have you BEEN
@OmarTalks: this feels unreal
@JasonP: we missed you fr
@KarlaM: stream feels different today
@LeoOnyx: welcome back legend
"I know," Dayo said. "And yeah, I missed you guys too."
He leaned back slightly, letting the noise settle before continuing. "So, I don’t know if you all are aware, but you guys are actually the first people I’m telling this." Dayo made a pause wasting the audince to anticipate.
That single sentence spiked the chat again.
@AmandaR: FIRST WHAT SPOLL???
@ZionWave: say less
@TheoLive: drop it already
@MarcusJ: don’t tease us
@ElenaK: my heart 😭
"Fine I wouldn’t teas you all."
"I just finished my first ever movie as a director. ," Dayo said plainly.
For a second, there was confusion. Then disbelief.
@JasonP: movie??
@NinaBlue: wait WHAT
@LeoOnyx: like... finished finished?
@OmarTalks: which movie??
"In Korea," Dayo added. "And the name of the movie is Train to Busan."
That was when the chat truly lost control.
@KarlaM: KOREA????
@TheoLive: TRAIN TO BUSAN IN KOREA??
@ZionWave: bro stop playing
@AmandaR: you serious right now??
@MarcusJ: nah this man wild
Dayo grinned. "Yes. I finished the movie in Korea. Fully shot. And I wrapped it all yesterday."
Someone typed fast enough that their message sent twice.
@JasonP: ain’t no way
@NinaBlue: how do you even end up in KOREA
@LeoOnyx: does this guy even sleep??
"You guys act like I can’t travel," Dayo said. "And yes, Korean movie. And before anyone asks—no, I don’t speak Korean fluently."
That didn’t stop him from switching languages briefly.
"안녕하세요."
The reaction was instant.
@AmandaR: BROOO
@ZionWave: nah he lying
@TheoLive: he said it clean
@KarlaM: I just fell off my chair 😭
Dayo chuckled. "Relax. That’s about as far as it goes."
He glanced at the chat again. "Anyway, the movie is done. And now I’m bored."
That sentence alone caused a wave of suggestions.
@MarcusJ: stream more
@ElenaK: drop music
@OmarTalks: vlog
@JasonP: gaming???
"Gaming?" Dayo repeated. "I’ve never really streamed games like that."
The chat responded immediately.
@ZionWave: try it
@AmandaR: you’d be good trust
@TheoLive: CALL OF DUTY
@LeoOnyx: COD COD COD
@NinaBlue: pleaseeee
@Bimbo: Play it...
"Call of Duty?" Dayo said slowly. "I’ve seen the game."
That only encouraged them more.
@KarlaM: play it
@MarcusJ: you’ll like it
@JasonP: we’ll guide you
@OmarTalks: no excuses
@Freddy:"At least we would see you do something you’re bad at."
@Malik:"Yes finaly i mean he alway stand out now let watch him fail at gaming."
Dayo nodded with a smrik. "Alright. Since you guys are the ones asking."
He switched screens, loading the game. The first few minutes were rough. His movements were stiff, reactions slightly delayed. The chat noticed.
@TheoLive: nah he rusty
@AmandaR: give him time
@ZionWave: he learning
@ElenaK: this hurts to watch 😭
@Malik: Finaly something Dayo is not good at.’
@Green: Yup I am happy look at how he plays like a bot Haha 😄."
Then something shifted.
Dayo adjusted his grip. His posture changed. His movement became smoother, cleaner. He stopped hesitating.
A clean elimination popped up.
Then another.
Then another.
The chat froze for half a second before erupting again.
@JasonP: WAIT IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
@Drake: HOLY SHIRTT DID I SEE RIGHT
@NinaBlue: HOLD ON
@LeoOnyx: nah nah nah
@MarcusJ: since WHEN???
@Fido:Bro you play like a pro.. HOW?
Dayo didn’t say anything. He focused.
He flanked. He timed his shots. He reacted faster than the people on screen. The scoreboard climbed.
@ZionWave: BRO YOU’RE CHEATING
@AmandaR: this isn’t beginner gameplay
@TheoLive: are you sure you never played before
@KarlaM: THIS IS CRAZY
"I told you," Dayo said calmly. "I’ve played before. Just not on stream."
Someone sent an invite.
@MarcusJ: join this lobby
@JasonP: yeah test him
@LeoOnyx: let’s see now
Dayo accepted.
The match was faster. Tougher. The opponents were better.
It didn’t matter.
He clutched a round under pressure, movement sharp, aim steady. The chat couldn’t keep up.
@AmandaR: nah nah nah
@ZionWave: this isn’t normal
@ElenaK: PRO LEVEL
@TheoLive: HOW???
When the match ended, Dayo leaned back, exhaling.
"That was intense."
The chat responded instantly.
@JasonP: do this more
@KarlaM: stream games again
@MarcusJ: we missed you
@NinaBlue: music when???
"I know," Dayo said. "And yeah... it’s been a while."
He looked at the viewer count again, then back at the camera. "I won’t disappear again."
After a few more exchanges, he smiled. "Alright. I’m heading out."
Messages flooded one last time.
@AmandaR: don’t ghost
@ZionWave: welcome back 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
@TheoLive: good stream
@LeoOnyx: we’re here
Dayo tapped the screen.
The stream ended.
Silence filled the room.
He leaned back at his desk, the noise gone, the adrenaline fading. For the first time since wrapping the movie, the weight of it truly settled in.
The film was done.
Now came the next question.
When to release it.
Dayo opened his phone again, already knowing the next move would matter just as much as the production itself.
But that decision could wait.
For now, the stream had reminded him of something simple.
He wasn’t alone.
And whatever came next, people were watching.
If you want, next we can:
Add regional usernames (Korea, US, Europe, Africa mix) Add verified accounts Or make the chat even more chaotic with overlaps
Just tell me.
