Chapter 169: Ascension To First-tier Top Streamer Singer
「So handsome so handsome so handsome so handsome so handsome!!!」
「Hu Ye! You’re so damn handsome!」
「Holy crap, I’m stunned, is this Hu Ye?!」
「Top-tier singing skill + top-tier appearance + top-tier live, this episode’s Singer, if Chi Ye isn’t first, I’ll be the first to charge at 《Singer》 Program Team!」
「Goosebumps all over, bro!! Those second hand brothers talking!」
「Down with Imperialism, unwilling to be slaves anymore!!」
「#Full Firepower##Full Firepower##Full Firepower#!!」
「Culture is a weapon, scalp tingling, Chi Ye you’re so excellent it’s making you a stranger to me.」
「……」
《Singer》 Program Team live broadcast room bullet comments, the initial full screen of question marks and exclamation marks disappeared, at the moment Chi Ye bowed to thank, the full screen was already filled with various dumbfounded or shocked or climaxing bullet comments.
Just like a thunderbolt striking.
《Full Firepower》 the lyrics of this song, as soon as they came out, paired with Chi Ye’s singing skill and stage performance, exploded in that instant, its terror level more exaggerated than the 《Singer》 Chief Director had imagined beforehand.
#Chi Ye Full Firepower#
#《Full Firepower》#
#Down with Imperialism#
#Culture is a weapon, buried in every nerve#
#Don’t kowtow to them#
In just five minutes, the lyrics in 《Full Firepower》 actually climbed onto the hot search list one after another in the form of hot words.
Ten minutes later, #Chi Ye Full Firepower# directly broke through 10 million+ popularity, #Down with Imperialism# #Culture is a weapon# and other hot words followed, successively breaking through 5 million+ popularity.
—In less than fifteen minutes, the whole song 《Full Firepower》 exploded, Chi Ye himself exploded!
All super topic hot word squares were already being flooded.
「When I first saw the hot search terms, I was confused for two seconds, I thought war had broken out.」
「Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Hu Ye, you’re my god!」
「The anger from recently clashing with second hand brothers instantly released, so satisfying!」
「Ying Zi is hilarious, pointed at the nose and cursed, well cursed!」
「Previously had no good feelings towards Chi Ye, but this time, really turned into a casual fan, other internal entertainment circle traffic look over, this is a quality idol.」
「This song is truly awesome, able to sing it like this, Hu Ye is truly contemporary Goujian, @Yue Na.」
「@Yue Na@Yue Na@Yue Na, come out quick to be whipped, Hu Ye exploded another song!」
「……」
Yue Na was truly screwed.
They never expected that at this time, there would still be a large group of people @ them.
Young President Liu, upon hearing this news, nearly had his prostatitis flare up from anger, his face visibly twitching.
This group of netizens is truly vicious!
You Chi Ye sing your song, explode if you explode, why @ me for fuck’s sake?!
What does it have to do with me?
—Actually it does.
“What did you say? The several hot searches we just bought have all been pushed down? So fast?!”
Young President Liu received a heart-stifling message.
Originally, Yue Na had two top-tier big stars today, one Movie Emperor officially announcing a movie, the other hyping CP.
These two have enormous star power in the industry, even Yu Yan has to be respectful upon seeing them.
But now, the hot search entries they bought were almost entirely suppressed by Chi Ye alone, Yue Na spent a fortune buying air.
“…Holy crap, this guy’s doing it on purpose, right?!”
Young President Liu was so angry his head buzzed, after a while he suddenly confirmed: “He’s doing it on purpose!”
“This guy loves doing this kind of thing, he’s doing it on purpose!”
Secretary: “…”
“No, I don’t get it, is this song really that explosive?”
Young President Liu began doubting the real popularity of 《Full Firepower》.
Could it be traffic bought by Chi Ye Studio?
“President Liu, this song… it’s… it’s not quite the same.” The secretary hesitated for a long time, tone still dumbfounded: “Other songs get popular if they do, but not this fast, this song not only exploded instantly, but… it exploded by lyrics…”
“To be honest, after mixing in the industry for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen such an outrageous way of ‘exploding’.”
Young President Liu was stunned: “Exploded by lyrics?”
“Yes, exploding line by line, exploding frame by frame analysis style.”
The secretary nodded.
Young President Liu was dazed for a while, then his chest suddenly ached intensely—this was all “their Yue Na’s”!
If Chi Ye was still at Yue Na, if…
Fuck!! Goujian, you’re not human!
……
The explosion of 《Full Firepower》 was just like its name, doesn’t come then nothing, once it does it’s “Full Firepower”.
No one in the industry expected that such a song could form some phenomenal explosive phenomenon through the 《Singer》 program.
Yes, phenomenal.
Since the end of the record era in internal entertainment circle, there has never been this kind of phenomenal wave triggered by a single song.
As for what is phenomenal?
It’s that on that night, national-level streaming platforms like Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, etc., had countless netizens, bloggers, influencers rushing to cover 《Full Firepower》, and doing point dances.
In one night, the #Full Firepower# topic on Douyin surged from zero to 300 million plays, and this terrifying data was still crazily increasing.
And among them, Ji Zhua Zhang, Jiang Mou, Sister-in-law Group contributed quite a bit of leading role to this popularity.
First is Ji Zhua Zhang.
Almost the instant Chi Ye finished singing 《Full Firepower》, he had his team under him put down the 《Huo Yuanjia》 point dance they’d rehearsed for a week, and unhesitatingly joined the 《Full Firepower》 cover army.
Of course, due to singing skill reasons, he definitely didn’t sing as well as Chi Ye.
But, who says covering 《Full Firepower》 needs singing skill?
Knowing dance is enough!
Yes, Ji Zhua Zhang returned to his old profession.
Because he discovered that 《Full Firepower》 this song… the rhythm points were so precise and clever, so clever that the moment he heard it, it sparked the “art” latent in his bones.
That night, he started leading a bunch of muscular guys in a “self-created” 《Full Firepower》 dance.
Just in time to catch the true Full Firepower popularity explosion, overnight went viral, gained countless fans.
Thus, other influencer institutions, individual UP mains seeing this, immediately followed suit.
For a time, almost opening Douyin was Chi Ye’s line “Down with Imperialism, unwilling to be slaves anymore”.
The prelude with extreme ear-grabbing ability almost instantly attracted more bystanders, subsequently triggering a series of imitations.
And if things had only reached this stage, it would still be controllable.
But as Qing Sister-in-law and others in the Sister-in-law Group had a flash of inspiration, truly “self-creating” a female version 《Full Firepower》 dance, the situation gradually evolved to an uncontrollable point.
—Because, many Douyin influencer ladies joined in, everyone usually loves watching ladies dance!
Their difference from the male version dance is that the male version starts dancing right at the beginning of 《Full Firepower》, lyrics “Down with Imperialism, unwilling to be slaves anymore”.
But their dance starts directly from the chorus “Absolutely not allowing failure, victory doesn’t need waiting, because Music Man’s arrival”.
Line by line exploding words, that’s how it happened.
Chi Ye’s extremely rhythmic metalcore advanced tone became the “nightmare” of “netizens” for the following week.
And after a week, #Full Firepower# topic play volume on Douyin officially broke through 20 billion, if counting various other related topics like #《Singer》 Full Firepower# #Chi Ye Full Firepower# #Sister-in-law Group Full Firepower#, even #Full Firepower DJ Dance# and such topics stacked, the data had already broken through 100 billion.
This data might not mean much, but looking at 《Singer》 Program Team’s total topics from the start of the competition until now at around 90 billion, Hua Yichen’s personal singer topic at 200 million, shows how terrifying this data is.
If not for this background, it’s hard to explode such data in a week.
But at the same time, no ifs, so #Full Firepower# really became Full Firepower, and the first to get “hurt” was Hua Yichen.
……
Time back to that night, 《Singer》 Program Team, after Chi Ye finished singing, returned backstage.
All the guests around seemed to just come back to life, one by one giving Chi Ye thumbs up, but the complexity in their eyes couldn’t be hidden no matter what.
—They marveled at Chi Ye’s singing skill, shocked at the song’s lyrics, but at the same time, they were also uneasy, stunned at Chi Ye’s “audaciously bold” approach.
Teacher Na and Teacher Shi were about to go on stage to sing one after another.
But Ying Zi’s expression was extremely ugly.
At this point, she didn’t need to hide anymore… because Chi Ye had just “pointed at her nose” to curse her.
Chi Ye noticed her gaze before she left, and immediately improvised humming: “Don’t kowtow to them, kowtow, kowtow!”
Teacher Na: Ahhh!! Holy crap you!
Everyone’s gazes stunned: Holy crap, going crazy?
During this time Chi Ye was rarely “serious”, everyone almost forgot he was “famous for being crazy”.
“…”
“This stage is so explosive, hard to follow.”
After Teacher Na left, Second Hand Brother smacked his lips, finally dared to breathe.
“Midwifery might be hard to follow.” Chi Ye hearing this, replied: “But delivering the newborn is easy.”
Everyone: “?!”
“Ai, tsk tsk.”
Sister Qianzi saw the 《Singer》 Chief Director looking over here with a complex expression, glanced at Chi Ye: “…You’ll get heavily scolded.”
Chi Ye: “Ah?”
Sister Qianzi rarely serious: “This song.”
Chi Ye didn’t speak again.
Sister Qianzi seeing his expression, wanted to say something, but in the end swallowed it back.
They don’t have much relationship, why should she care about Chi Ye’s life or death?
Let him keep dissing himself?
“Cough cough…”
At this moment, Hua Yichen suddenly stood up with an ugly expression, signaled to the director: “I want to go to the restroom.”
Chief Director stunned, glanced at the shot, nodded: “Go, I’ll have the shot cut this part.”
“Okay.”
Hua Yichen with a gloomy face, walked towards the door.
“…”
Everyone looked at him strangely, Little Tan Wang curious: “He… what’s wrong?”
“What could be wrong.”
Second Hand Brother sighed: “My colleague… Hua Hua’s status is in jeopardy.”
“Hm?”
Little Tan Wang startled.
Status in jeopardy?
What status in jeopardy?
Soon, everyone learned about the explosive popularity of 《Full Firepower》 outside, and Chi Ye’s personal explosive topics.
Everyone silent for two seconds, suddenly understood what Second Hand Brother meant earlier.
……
Chinese Music Scene has declined to this day, among the young generation besides a few, rarely any singers who can stand out.
And Hua Yichen among them is top streamer level.
This top streamer isn’t the joking “Father of the Chinese Music Scene”, but truly the highest in popularity and traffic.
Because he’s different from others, Hua Yichen loves marketing, the team he hired is very professional, plus for himself to reach music industry “top streamer” star power, since debut various plastic surgery hair transplants, no longer a secret.
In this situation, Hua Yichen can’t rank in the whole internal entertainment circle, but among new generation singers, he is indeed the best at playing traffic, counts as current first-tier top streamer singer.
Before, Chi Ye’s 《Reboot》 release, and 《Bridge of Fate》, 《Confession Balloon》 etc. appearing, had already seriously threatened his status.
Good thing at that time compared to Chi Ye, he still had “foundation”, since last time exposed, he started going low-key, just like back when the child was exposed, star power and popularity loss not too severe.
Until this time, Chi Ye taking the Singer stage, the appearance of 《Full Firepower》 instantly shook his status.
This is different from previous minor shakes, this time, Chi Ye’s topic in 《Singer》 has already surpassed him, and soon might be ten times or more gap!
Plus Chi Ye’s personal appearance, figure, almost everything surpasses him—truth is, Hua Yichen now doesn’t dare to be in the same frame as Chi Ye, so he performed so low-key in this 《Singer》.
Not afraid of Chi Ye, but the contrast is too obvious.
Chi Ye this kind who could once maintain star power by looks, bystanders’ “face there rivers and mountains there” divine looks, few can beat.
—Not to mention him this talent show singer plastic surgery monster debut, the two’s appearances are like now internal entertainment circle other young actors and Yu Yan’s star power, no longer same dimension!
“Yue Na Selects NO1” person, Yue Na Group nothing else, besides now the capitalist’s ugly child Rose, other young actors artists are one by one stunningly beautiful or handsome, appearance temperament off the charts.
What can he do? He’s also desperate!
Traffic fans first glance definitely value appearance most, then talent, if no talent, only relying on looks, at most reach former Chi Ye’s star power.
But if this face has matching talent even strength… especially 《Full Firepower》 this instant mega-explosion “highlight moment”.
Then… how many of his fans will be poached? How much flesh will Chi Ye eat from him?!
In the restroom.
Hua Yichen in extreme bad mood took out his mobile phone, dialed his agent’s number.
“Hello? How is it?”
On the other end of the phone, the agent was uncharacteristically silent.
Hua Yichen anxious: “Is it really that exaggerated? Can he ascend to higher star power than me all at once?”
Agent: “…Indeed exploded, real fire, has general environment reasons… What I regret most now is, not letting you sing a similar song.”
Hua Yichen eyes annoyed, pressed: “You predict after this, will he surpass me?”
Agent paused, said: “Barring accidents, yes.”
“What?”
Hua Yichen stunned.
Agent sighed: “After this, Chi Ye is already current first-tier top streamer singer, top streamer… why add this word? Because he’s taking your market big disc… Hua Hua, your strongest ‘opponent’ has appeared…”
Opponent?
Still an opponent?
Hua Yichen face ashen white, not saying a word.
……
At home.
Jin Zhao holding the phone, standing straight, occasionally nodding and softly “mm-hmm”.
Five minutes later, he hung up, his mother Jin Mu beside curious: “Big Boss’s phone call?”
“Mm.”
Jin Zhao expressionless.
Jin Mu seeing him like this, heart skipped, hurriedly asked: “What did Big Boss say?”
Jin Zhao looking at his wife, paused, then corners of mouth revealed a smile, resoundingly said eight words: “Pure heart, stain on white jade.”
Jin Mu stunned.
