Chapter 115: Whatever Happened To Justice Prevails?
There is a “drowning dog effect” in psychology.
When authority deems a certain choice destined to fail, the public will instead collectively save the weak due to rebellious psychology.
Half an hour after the novel update, the enchanting infectiousness of Su Jian’s abstract performance began to ferment…
One giao me li giaogiao, this thing absolutely doesn’t count as a song, not even a performance, no doubt it’s just a pile of crap.
This is history, real history, the kind of history that even Su Jian’s fans can’t whitewash.
But it succeeded in amusing the netizens, not only because Su Jian’s video itself is funny, but also with some element of being pissed off into laughter.
Everyone clicks on the video, first reaction is what the hell is this dick singing, incredulously listens a bit more, and the cyber meme takes root.
Su Jian even got into it himself later, absurd, abrupt, illogical lyrics bombarding the audience’s eardrums like cannonballs, paired with his deliberate winking, hip-twisting, head-shaking exaggerated actions.
At this point, even if they exit, it’s too late; from now on, this “giao” will become an indelible memory in their minds.
Yu Wei’s move is too ruthless…
“Math moon exam this afternoon, my head is full of giaogiao, I’m done for.”
“This tm must be Yu Wei’s idea, only he could come up with something so abstract.”
“Su Jian is a god too, entering the competition with this garbage thing, huh? I even really want to vote for him.”
After listening to the enchanting sound infestation, many people had the same thought: this ghost thing can’t just pollute my ears alone, forward it, must forward, vote, must vote!
Once the likes for “giao” pile up, there will definitely be clueless passersby clicking in to listen, and once they go in, they can’t get out…
This kind of fun-making voting is instead easy to break through the circle; many competitions run for years with no one knowing, but arranging an abstract contestant to compete sparks hot discussion, that’s the reason.
“I admit Chen Chen sings very well, but with her strength, she should be able to fight her way out in the revival match, everyone send giao bro up first.”
“Vote vote vote, must vote, just vote the abstract artist to champion, see how Yu Wei handles it!”
“You’re doing abstract, I genuinely like this “giao”, tears are about to laugh out.”
Two hours after voting started, Chen Chen and Su Jian’s vote ratio came to 4399:12138…
There are tons of good-sounding covers online, but this abstract fun is one of a kind; if you don’t vote and I don’t vote, when will abstract get ahead?
Chen Chen never dreamed she would start at a disadvantage.
This time she’s the positive character, wasn’t justice supposed to win?
She’s an internet celebrity singing properly, Su Jian a star doing the internet celebrity routine instead, no quality, all gimmick…
In a sense, she was defeated in her area of expertise; the explosion of “giao” is a product of the internet’s fast pace.
Essentially, giao is an internet celebrity song, if it can be called a song.
Everyone surely knows “Invisible Wings” is sung better and more advanced, but Su Jian’s performance provides something more popular and direct right now, no thinking required, pure stress-relief fun.
This is the victory of “three-second thrill” fast pace; the internet celebrities represented by Chen Chen should be the leaders of fast pace, but this giao caught them off guard.
No surprise, this should be Yu Wei’s handiwork; a simple “giao” leaves other internet celebrities in the dust…
How does he understand the internet celebrity routine so well?
On the surface, it looks like Su Jian got everyone’s support through abstract antics, but essentially, it’s Yu Wei’s predictive victory over internet celebrity logic.
It’s like he knew this would go viral, otherwise he wouldn’t have inexplicably made Su Jian sing this.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen had to admit defeat even if unwilling; Yu Wei truly understands the internet ecosystem inside out, she has to study this carefully.
Yu Wei of course isn’t as awesome as everyone imagines; he does know this stuff can go viral, after all he’s seen it…
Internet environment is caused by human nature; even if not the same world, the pursuit of short, flat, and fast won’t change.
Without perfect timing and conditions, giao might not blow up to Earth level, but making netizens laugh for a short time is no problem.
The internet is so big, surely not only fun-seeking netizens, plenty of readers rationally chose to vote for Chen Chen.
They chose the work more to their aesthetic using music standards, no problem with that; in a sense, they should be the correct ones.
But how to put it, this program is called “Top Streamer Enthusiastic Praise” not enthusiastic praise singers; getting netizens to laugh in the abstract domain is also part of traffic.
As the serious voting crowd appears, the vote ratio starts to even out gradually, but Yu Wei has no time to wait for the result, he still has to go to work…
Recording of the fifth episode of “Music Blind Box” is about to start; Yu Wei this episode is aiming to shed the “positive energy” label, must break this stereotype no matter what.
But this time before entering the recording site, he was stopped by the program team; director Cheng Xu said he wanted to have a heart-to-heart with him.
Heart-to-heart? Is that right, what is there for two big bosses to talk about.
“Been really busy lately…”
Cheng Xu isn’t old, early thirties, with long hair looking like a literary youth; the “Music Blind Box” project has always been fully under his charge, at his age, he can be said to be successful in his career.
“Same as before.”
If you really think the director wants to chat casually, you’d be greatly mistaken; Yu Wei gets it, this should be about discussing the fake variety show.
Lately his only busy thing is the “Top Streamer Enthusiastic Praise” plot, with it blowing up so big, Cheng Xu couldn’t not know.
“Writing books is pretty tiring, not only thinking up story progression, you even created a variety show program, haha, right…”
I knew it.
Yu Wei silently waits for him to continue; as a professional variety show person, he might be a bit interested in this program of his.
“That is, um, in the future when you write competition voting plots, can you try to avoid Saturdays?”
Cheng Xu seems a bit embarrassed, hesitating a long time before voicing his idea.
Although Yu Wei’s is a fake program, its influence isn’t negligible, especially the popularity on voting day; clashing rashly would definitely interfere.
Of course, it’s not “Music Blind Box” avoiding the edge; Yu Wei’s fake program hasn’t reached that level, it’s an audience issue.
In their “Music Blind Box”, many audience come specifically for Yu Wei, all expecting if he’ll release a new song.
This portion of audience is basically Yu Wei’s fans; if by chance there’s some big move in Yu Wei’s book, they might not watch the program, after all the novel is more tightly linked to Yu Wei.
Yu Wei’s fake program temporarily can’t impact the market, but highly overlapping audience will undoubtedly have direct influence.
“Got it, I’ll try.”
As one of the guests on “Music Blind Box”, the program’s popularity is closely tied to him; he can accommodate this.
But novel plot also depends on rhythm; if the voting plot hits that point, he can’t just stall a day to skip it…
Smart people stop at the point when dealing; Cheng Xu just wants to hear Yu Wei’s attitude, as long as he’s aligned with the program.
As for specific plot progress, can’t force it.
Delayed a bit by the director, when Yu Wei arrives at the broadcast hall, the other three guests are already there: Meng Han strongly returns, Su Xinnan holds the post, guest performer is still last episode’s Shen Yutong.
“Little Yu is eating national rice now too.”
Su Xinnan speaks first; she also saw the CCTV new video, though Yu Wei’s song was just background sound, it represents he’s connected to that line.
For artists, this is a mark of public recognition, another starting point in their career…
“Don’t tease me, Sister Nan.”
Yu Wei is still quite clear-headed; being officially named is indeed an honor for artists, but does it have substantial impact? Yes but not much.
Some collapsed house artists were praised by officials when hot, but walls fall and everyone pushes is instant.
Speaking of main melody, who does it better than Teacher Wu Jing? Officials praised plenty back then, now still turned into abstract meme…
Can only say guns and cannons don’t have eyes.
Being looked favorably by above doesn’t mean much; doing yourself well is most important, only then looked favorably, not looking favorably makes you awesome.
Using “red” to label yourself would be putting the cart before the horse.
Yu Wei’s clear-headedness looks different to Meng Han: this child has such achievements yet still lacks confidence? Sigh.
“Teacher Meng, feeling better?”
Su Xinnan looks a bit odd upon hearing; Meng Han was pissed off by you back then, asking now sounds all sarcasm.
She thought with Meng Han’s personality he’d still be combative, who knew not only is his expression mild, he says something puzzling.
“Much better, you on the other hand, take care of your health.”
Me take care of health?
Yu Wei really doesn’t get what he needs to take care of; though readers curse him daily for short updates, he’s not really short…
Meng Han doesn’t explain much, just gives him a meaningful look, gaze same as last time, full of damn pity.
What exactly is he pitying?
If this continues, Yu Wei will really suspect his life countdown is near zero; Meng Han’s change is too big.
After he sits, the long-silent Shen Yutong finally finds a chance to talk to him, softly asking: “Who can win?”
“What? My book?”
Shen Yutong nods; she listened to Qi Luo An and plans to study Yu Wei’s creation logic starting from the novel.
Honestly she’s still a bit unable to accept web novel style; just right with “Top Streamer Enthusiastic Praise” plot boiling over lately, she starts from the middle to follow, saving extra suffering.
She watched both matches; first one though some off-site rhythm, in her view Zhou Mumu winning is no issue, voice conditions right there.
But this second one…
Forgive her for not getting it at all; literature girl clueless about abstract, most abstract thing she’s encountered from childhood to now is Qi Luo An.
“Don’t know, I’m just an emotionless ticket machine.” With program not started yet, Yu Wei opens the novel for a glance; abstract Su Jian still leading.
“Feels like Su Jian can make it through.”
Fake competition everyone just in it for fun, so voting won’t consider too much extra; if real competition in reality, definitely strength-based.
“Oh, like that.”
Shen Yutong is a rookie in abstract domain; hearing this result, her mood is a bit complex.
Wasn’t justice supposed to win? How did the evil cultivator win.
She saw Su Jian’s performance last episode; can’t even call it disaster, yet such a half-baked artist can be carried to flight by Yu Wei.
In such an abstract way too.
But undoubtedly, Yu Wei’s immortal’s guidance move is most suited to him; with Su Jian’s strength, singing anything is roadside level.
Anyway it’s like this, better take another path into demonic dao; evil cultivator leveling is fast, simple line sung half hour beats talented person.
“Can you… arrange a match for me and An An?”
Shen Yutong speaks softly.
Retired contestant can’t go on field, cloud competition should be fine.
