Chapter 27: Traffic is a Double-Edged Sword
No matter how heated the arguments get in the comments, the final judgment will be based on the quality of Gu Luojin's song.
Nazha only knew that Gu Luojin had asked his assistant Wang Lu to find someone to produce the song, but she had never heard of it.
I can't help but worry about Gu Luojin. With such a huge amount of buzz in the comments, she's likely to trend on Weibo.
The production team also needs to spend money to buy ranking spots to promote their own programs and attract more investors and viewers.
The songs he writes are of poor quality and will definitely be ridiculed by the entire internet.
Not to mention that some people made a bold statement and had a good time.
Marketing accounts edit videos and upload them to various short video platforms to generate traffic, resulting in viral spread.
"Xiao Gu, they're arguing so fiercely, and they're so determined, I'm worried..."
How could a song that has withstood the test of the market and quality fail so badly?
If he can lose at this, he'll eat... a KFC black pepper steak mini burger plus a taro pie.
"Don't worry, trust me, just keep watching and you'll see."
I never expected these netizens to go this far; it's like putting him on the hot seat.
Fortunately, what he "created" were not niche songs, but rather songs that have been a staple on the hit song charts for years.
Otherwise, the outcome would be hard to say, which made him very nervous.
Two young girls came through the screen: "Brother Gu, can you sing for us?"
"Yes, it's an honor to be one of my first audience members."
Gu Luojin picked up the microphone, recalling that familiar melody.
Bro, the results are coming out soon, are you panicking?
Why should I panic? The fans of these young heartthrobs should be the ones panicking.
Furthermore, a true man, living between heaven and earth, must be able to bend and stretch; only then can he be considered a real man.
Brother, you're a real man! You'll definitely make history!
Amidst the intense scrutiny and a pause in the debate between the two factions, Gu Luojin began to sing a cappella.
"I've walked and stopped along the way, following the trail of the boy's drifting life. Just before stepping out of the station, I hesitated."
The a cappella singing echoed in the enclosed room, creating a reverberation effect that gave the two girls a small but powerful shock.
Gu Luojin's song not only shocked Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng who were present at the time, but also hundreds of thousands of viewers who were watching on their screens. Everyone's prejudice against young male idols was overturned by Gu Luojin's singing.
Just as everyone was immersed in Gu Luojin's singing, as if hearing celestial music and their ears were suddenly clear, the singing abruptly stopped.
It turned out that Peng, the laborer outside, had invited the three of them to dinner, which caused Gu Luojin to only sing a short part before it was over.
[I've never hated Peng Peng so much. You can skip workouts, you can have messy hair, but why did you have to interrupt me at such a crucial moment?]
[It would have been better if I hadn't listened at all, but then it suddenly stopped. Is it trying to make me suffer all night?]
No, I need to rewind and listen to it again.
[Brother, please sing it one more time, okay? I can't stand not hearing it for a second longer, please. I feel like ants are crawling all over me, I'm shaking all over, I can't breathe, please.]
It's like you've prepared your tissues, found the movie, and spent three minutes preparing, just waiting for the moment to charge in, only to be told that you can't watch it without a membership.
Has anyone found the full version of this song?
No, it can't be found.
Looks like I'll have to wait for Jinbao to post it; I'm going to urge him to update on his Weibo account.
The hashtag #TheWindIsGood# quickly became a trending topic on Weibo.
Along with that came #GuLuojin's looks#
Mango TV paid for the new season of "Back to Field" to start afresh.
These and other related terms trended on Weibo's hot search list.
It seems everyone has forgotten something: where is that little myna bird who confidently made that promise? He's nowhere to be seen.
[Didn't you say the song was good enough and you'd be eating mini-burgers on live stream? Where did you go?]
"Damn, if you had this ability, why didn't you say so earlier?"
The person hiding behind the screen is the keyboard warrior who previously argued with fans and made bold pronouncements; netizens affectionately call him "Little Myna."
When he realized something was wrong, he quickly deleted his account and ran away; otherwise, his inbox would probably be flooded with messages right now.
"Luckily I ran fast. I'll switch to another account to check."
When Little Myna went online, he saw that the screen was full of people chasing after him and asking about his whereabouts.
Some fans even tried to open accounts for him, which terrified him.
"Little Myna" quickly sent a comment using his alternate account: "Who hasn't made careless remarks? Making careless remarks isn't a capital offense."
"He has already deleted his account and been punished, which proves that he has realized his mistake, so there is no need for him to open another account."
"Besides, opening an account is illegal."
Opening an account is tantamount to exposing all his privacy to the light of day. Given the speed of modern internet dissemination, all his deeds will soon be exposed.
Then what he did will spread to his colleagues, classmates, friends, and family, causing social death.
[You jumped out so quickly, you're not his alternate account, are you?]
This startled the little myna bird; had it been exposed so quickly?
Seeing that things were escalating, Gu Luojin knew it was time for her to take action.
He understands the principle that idols should be held accountable for their fans' actions.
Why are some popular celebrities still disliked by audiences even after becoming top stars? Because their fans frequently engage in cyberbullying and online harassment of strangers, making it difficult for them to gain public favor.
Another aspect is that public opinion can be incredibly powerful; once an issue gets on track, it will be accompanied by a deluge of public opinion.
This will also bring a lot of condemnation from passersby who are unaware of the full picture, and it will be very costly to clarify the situation later.
He didn't want to turn entertainment news into legal news, and his business, which had just started to take off, to attract the attention of relevant departments.
This thing is like a sword hanging over his head; you never know when a fan might do something out of line, and he'll become the person who gets reported.
The benefits of the traffic generated by "Aspiration" have been largely exhausted, so there's no need to leave this stain on one's reputation.
Gu Luojin quickly posted a message on Weibo: "Please watch variety shows rationally, do not open accounts for others, do not do illegal or disorderly conduct, and be a civilized and law-abiding citizen."
They also sent a message to Wang Lu, asking the company to intervene and restrain the big fans, and to have them control the irritable casual fans.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Mynah also breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
I learned a profound lesson: "Damn, I'll never talk nonsense again."
The fans were calmed down, but Nazha in their arms seemed restless.
"You've never sung a song for me."
"If you want to hear it, I can sing it for you every day, but I'm afraid you'll get tired of it."
"No way, I want to compete with you in both ranks tonight."
"Are you alright? I'm worried you'll get hurt."
He never shied away from this.
"You can turn the lights off whenever you want, but you can't just stop them from turning off!"
Just as Nazha was about to grit her teeth and persevere, she coughed, "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"What's wrong? If you've caught a cold, I'll buy you some medicine."
Since the two spent one night together, it seems that Pandora's box has been opened for Nazha. Unless absolutely necessary, she would rather stay in Gu Luojin's room than go back to the room that the crew had given her.
"No, sis, I'm still here. Show some consideration for single people."
"You're not an outsider, right, Xiao Gu?"
He doesn't like having people present to show their opinions: "But it's not my wife either."
"Haha, naughty."
It wasn't until 9 PM that everyone sat down to eat. The highlight of the dinner segment was Gu Luojin's flattery of Chef Huang, which completely charmed him into becoming a placenta.
"Nazha, if you come, you'll probably starve. I had beef noodles for breakfast, then went to work in the fields, and didn't eat my first meal until evening."
"That little girl, Zhang Zifeng, relies on milk to fill her stomach every day, which is why I don't recommend you go."
"This is too tragic."
"Actually, that's not the worst part. The worst part is that Teacher Huang's cooking is terrible. You see, I barely ate any."
Naza's attention was entirely focused on Gu Luojin praising Chef Huang. She was still wondering why Gu Luojin was trying to please Huang Lei; was it because she was worried about him eating too much food?
"If that's the case, I don't even dare to go to Mushroom House."
"Not really. As long as you're willing to flatter Teacher Huang and don't mind the hard work, you can go. After all, this show is pretty good for gaining fans and promoting newcomers."
"Never mind, I'm not good with words, I'm worried about saying the wrong thing and offending someone."
Speaking of offending people, he thought of Da Linzi who came the next day and offended Huang Lei, being treated like a dog.
"Then you shouldn't go, because tomorrow you'll see what happens when a guest offends Teacher Huang."
The first episode has finished airing, and Gu Luojin is trending on Douyin (TikTok), while Gulnazar is trending on Weibo.
They all shine brightly in their respective fields.
"Xiao Gu, you're really popular."
How big is it?
"There's a red that's almost purple, and another one that's almost black, and there are as many as five or six trending search terms related to you."
"Did the company buy me too many, especially those three that are marketed as being good-looking?"
"Look for yourself."
Now, countless male celebrities in the industry see him as a monster. He initially wanted to develop his career stealthily, but now he has no choice but to speed things up.
Wang Lu also sent a message: "Brother Gu, the company spent too much money all of a sudden, and it got you to the top of the trending searches."
Life is impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.
"First place is fine. I originally planned to interact with people in the industry as a newcomer, but now I don't need to hide anymore."
"The money's gone, but remember to let me stay a couple more days so I can gain some followers."
"Bro, the data from Hunan TV is out! The real-time ratings have broken 1, and the market share is as high as 10%, ranking first in the country."
"The viewership rating rose by 0.1 for the scenes featuring you, and the number of comments increased by 3000 per minute."
"You have six trending topics on Weibo, with a total of over one million views."
Gu Luojin was surprised by this data.
"so."
cough! cough!
"The boss was right to make you participate in 'Aspiration,' but you were adamant about not going, saying things like 'even a dog wouldn't go.'"
Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.
With Wang Lu's reminder, Gu Luojin knew exactly what to say.
"My sister Wang is the most beautiful and kind-hearted person at Lemon Film and Television. She has a big heart and won't stoop to the level of a little kid like me."
"Sister Wang's decision in this matter was crucial, and I will definitely listen to her advice more in the future."
Wang Juan, who was standing nearby, took the phone and said, "Stop flattering me."
"Sister Wang, it's not that I took good photos, it's all thanks to your boss."
"I'm not trying to flatter you, I'm just speaking from the heart."
He wasn't flattering her; he was offering emotional value.
Wang Lu's head was buzzing. Was this Gu Ge's strength?
Normally, nothing leaks out, but suddenly, a divine intervention occurs.
His flattery skills are far superior to mine; I'd rather he be the assistant.
"Alright, you're already trying to flatter me before you even arrive. After filming, come to my place; I have some news for you that isn't exactly good news."
"Sister Wang, don't wait for me to come back, just tell me now. I'm very tight-lipped."
Wang Juan ignored his request.
"Brother Gu, President Wang has already left."
"Xiaolu, you know what I mean. Before I get back, I want to hear some neither good nor bad news from President Wang."
"Brother Gu, I promise to complete the mission."
loyalty!!!
In the end, he didn't see any footage of himself cooking for Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Jingyi, presumably because the production team cut it out to protect Huang Xiaochu's reputation.
Everyone knows that celebrities need to manage their physique, but you guys don't eat the food Huang Lei cooks, and then you cook for yourselves afterwards. That's disrespecting Mushroom House.
They don't respect my Mushroom House, yet they still want to appear on camera? Wishful thinking.
What, you want to build a new mushroom house?
Unless Hunan TV goes crazy, it won't give up this money-making opportunity.
It's worth noting that over 15 sponsors appeared on the fourth season of "Back to Field," but they all failed to make it onto the show.
A large number of staff members rely on the "Back to Field" program for their livelihood. Whether you guests receive appearance fees depends on whether our program team provides them.
