Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit

"It's a stretch for Brother Yue to hold a concert; there's a ton of criticism online."

In the lounge, Guo Qilin hung up the phone with a wry smile on his face.

After all, an amateur holding a concert will be criticized no matter what they do.

Unless your skills and reputation are exceptionally good.

For example, Xiao Shenyang.

A folk opera performer holding a concert, whose singing skills are quite good, didn't receive much criticism or boycott.

Crosstalk is different. No matter how good your singing is, you can never reach a certain level.

Especially since Yue Ge's basic skills weren't very good, Liu Huo simply relied on his widow's voice to attract people.

"Oh well, we'll see what happens then."

After leaving the lounge, Guo Qilin arrived at the recording studio and found his sister being guided by several professional musicians on how to interpret the two songs she had composed.

In terms of technique and in some other aspects, these veteran musicians are more experienced.

They also contributed to the arrangement.

Wait an hour or two.

Recording ends.

Guo Qilin stretched and yawned, "Ugh, so tiring, every day is like this."

Deng Yiling followed behind, pouting slightly, thinking to herself, "I'm the only one who's tired today, how come my brother-in-law is tired too? How tired could he be?"

"So, are you confident in your work?"

"do not know."

"I still have confidence in your work. This kind of music is rare in this superficial music scene. Why did 'Childhood' become so popular? It's because it's catchy, simple, and it brings a sense of resonance and anticipation to people."

Your song "Ningxia" is the same.

Deng Yiling's expression changed; she didn't know who he was praising.

"Get ready, the concert is coming up soon. You're a rare guest for me, I don't usually invite many singers to my concerts."

It was only when this was mentioned that Deng Yiling remembered what had happened.

My brother-in-law usually invites his mentor and sister to his concerts, and at most, he invites the teachers of the Black Panther band.

The rest, such as Wang Sulong, Xue Zhiqian, and Li Jian, are really few.

Most singers would be eager to invite more of them.

"Why?"

"Why should I repay the favor? It's about returning the favor. The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. If you ask for favors too much, won't you have to help them next time? I don't have the time, and it'll be difficult to handle later."

"Oh."

Deng Yiling nodded. Having never been outside of society before, she vaguely felt that she had learned something.

"Go home and take care of your sister. I'm going to buy some things."

"it is good."

Since Deng Ziqi became pregnant, her family has been taking better care of her. To some extent, they need to be even more careful with her second pregnancy.

And so, more than a week passed.

This week and a half happens to be the time when Guo Qilin and Yue Yunpeng sell tickets.

Unfortunately, they collided head-on.

This caused both the Huilin Society and the Deyun Society to become worried and tense.

"What you're saying makes sense. If two people's concerts clash, doesn't that sound a bit like they're fighting over each other?"

early june

Inside the company.

Shaobing, Zhang Jiuling, Yang Jiulang, Zhou Jiuliang and a few others gathered together to look at the dynamic chat on their phones.

Meanwhile, we wait for Dalin's ticket at noon.

They weren't there to steal; they just wanted to see how it would end.

While cracking sunflower seeds and peanuts, Shaobing said, "Actually, I don't think it's really a matter of 'stealing.' How can you say it's 'stealing' when one is a professional and the other is an amateur? The tracks are completely different."

Besides, if we don't manage to grab the rest from Da Lin, we can always go to Brother Yue's place, right? It's a kind of unconventional publicity; it's even making headlines online now.

What news is out?

"Switch to Penguin News, the news there is the headline."

Zhang Jiuling, Yang Jiulang, and Zhou Jiuliang picked up their phones and switched to another app. Sure enough, there was a huge title and a series of articles on it.

The article is written in great detail.

[Guo Qilin's ticket sales clashed with Yue Yunpeng's; both are crosstalk performers, yet their pre-sale attention differed by eight million. Guo Qilin was originally a crosstalk performer with Deyun Society, but broke with his father, Guo Degang, to pursue a career in music.]

Although it's true that every profession has its own limitations, Guo Qilin's talent is astonishing. His songs "Childhood," "Half Moon Serenade," "Where Has the Time Gone," and "Chasing the Light" have received widespread acclaim.

His albums sell out every time, making him incredibly popular. He's a truly versatile musician with an excellent reputation.

Yue Yunpeng is an actor with weak basic skills who has spent years wasting his reputation on variety shows. Now he's holding a concert. Is this how a crosstalk actor should conduct himself? The number of followers is only a little over 10,000.

Is it becoming a trend for a crosstalk comedian to hold a concert?
...]

Most of the comments were negative about Yue Yunpeng, which wasn't entirely wrong, since he certainly didn't have the ability to hold a concert, and his singing skills weren't even as good as some internet celebrities.

Since they were fellow disciples, it was really hard to say anything after they saw it.

"These kinds of articles are even appearing? Are you sure it's propaganda and not just inviting trouble?" Yang Jiulang asked Bing Ge, something just didn't seem right.

"How can this not be publicity? Doesn't this make more people aware that he has a concert? Being infamous is still being famous."

"You know what, Brother Bing is absolutely right."

Zhang Jiuling gave a thumbs up, unable to suppress a smile, and added, "Everyone has dreams. It's great that Brother Yue opened one; at least he won't have any regrets. Besides, his fans really like him."

"As for Da Lin, not only are his fans fond of him, but he also has a huge public image, and his fan base has been growing in recent years."

Each of them had their own version of events.

However, although he put it very tactfully on the surface, he was actually a little uneasy about Brother Yue's concert.

It's not envy or jealousy. They can't even sing, so where would they get these feelings? It's just that Brother Yue has been away from crosstalk for too long; he's almost not a crosstalk performer anymore.

To become an entertainment star from head to toe.

"Alright, stop watching and let's get ready to eat. We won't cook today, we'll order takeout."

"Why order takeout? There are only two minutes left. Let's wait a bit and talk about it later."

Zhou Jiuliang reminded him, and he finally realized what was happening and hurriedly went to check the ticket sales.

Two minutes passed.

Tickets for Guo Qilin's Yanjing Gymnasium are now officially on sale, and when they do, they certainly won't need to rush to buy them.

But the page crashed immediately upon clicking.

"It's always like this. Can't the platform staff manage these channels properly?"

Shaobing grumbled, put down his phone to order takeout, ordered several dishes, and then turned back to check how they were doing.

The result was all black.

There aren't any left.

Meanwhile, complaints began to appear online, as every concert inevitably caused such a commotion.

The fellow apprentices were delighted.

They were overjoyed to have witnessed Dalin's prowess firsthand.

Without hesitation, they all posted congratulatory messages on Weibo.

After offering their congratulations, the group enjoyed their meal and occasionally answered questions from netizens.

For example, whether they will go, and if they do, whether they will bring Teacher Yu with them.

After an afternoon had passed, it was 6 PM when Yue Yunpeng would start selling tickets.

His ticket sales were nerve-wracking.

Huilin Society's Shaobing and others were watching, as were Guo Degang, Wang Hui, and Kong Yunlong of Deyun Society.

Even Qian and Bai Huimin are paying attention.

I want to see how a concert with such a bad reputation turns out.

"It's the last minute. Maybe it will sell out in one go like Dalin did."

"Any development is possible with this kind of thing; let's see how it goes."

More and more people are staking out Huilin Company, including Shaobing, Zhou Jiuliang, and others who were there at the beginning.

After Meng Hetang and Feng Zhaoyang arrived at the company, they followed suit and watched.

They've been relatively free lately, so they can hang out together from time to time, but they'll still be going on tour in the second half of the year.

"Hey, time's up! Quickly check your seats, whoever goes in first should report first."

Having experienced the collapse of tickets for Da Lin's concert, they assumed that Yue Ge's would be similar and would also collapse.

Regardless, he is indeed quite popular.

The scene I had imagined didn't happen; I entered very easily and effortlessly.

And the ticket sales speed is not particularly fast.

Dalin's screen went completely gray in an instant; he didn't know what he was supposed to do in the blink of an eye.

Yue Yunpeng had an overwhelming number of votes, and even after ten minutes, he still had half of them.

"Well, it's not bad, at least it's selling well."

At this moment, Luan Yunping, who didn't like to join in the fun, came out of her office and heard his voice. Shaobing looked very happy.

Although Brother Luan may seem uninvolved, he is actually just as concerned as the others.

"Let's wait and see how long it takes to sell out. Although it's not as fast as Da Lin's, I feel like it should be fine to sell out."

I waited for an hour.

One of the partners of Deyun Club posted on Weibo that the tickets were sold out.

This made the group of fellow disciples feel quite good.

That way, it won't look bad or awkward.

However, the online abuse continued unabated.

Because Yue Yunpeng organized a considerable number of events, they were combined over several consecutive days.

Moreover, the mere mention of "Yue Yunpeng's concert" is enough to make people feel baffled.

"Alright, let's go home. We don't care about anything else, let's just enjoy the concert."

The fellow disciples stopped paying attention to ticket sales.

However, to everyone's surprise, the partners started announcing the release of a second wave of tickets in the following days.

This is making more and more people confused. Didn't they say the tickets were sold out? Why are they releasing a second batch?

The smart ones immediately realized that this was a way to save face a little, and that coming in several batches would not only generate more publicity but also avoid appearing stingy.

Otherwise, it would seem rather pathetic that Guo Qilin's 100,000 tickets sold out in three days, while their combined 25,000 tickets over five days still couldn't be sold out.

Even with several batches of tickets released, the last batch still didn't sell out completely.

They were sold off gradually after being discounted by 50%.

Not only did Deyun Society not try to cover it up by selling the tickets in this way, but they also publicized it even more openly to demonstrate how popular and exciting Yue Yunpeng's concert was.

Even Guo Degang was pulled in to do a live stream.

Guo Degang, Yue Yunpeng, Kong Yunlong, and Tao Yang were all in the live stream room.

Are the tickets sold out?

Guo Degang, as the mentor, was all smiles and full of support.

Because of the income of their apprentices, Deyun Society can take a large cut.

Yue Yunpeng has helped them earn a lot of money.

"I've sold out, Master." Yue Yunpeng happily agreed.

"That's right, it's selling very well."

Kong Yunlong offered to speak up, but he knew the truth: they really needed to offer discounts to sell them all.

"Great, you're unprecedented, it's not impossible to hold a few."

Guo Degang said something while glancing at the live stream comments every now and then.

At this moment, the live stream comments are no longer called comments.

A large number of people were posting messages supporting Guo Qilin's concert.

Compared to his concert, Guo Qilin's achievements are much more substantial, so I'm just here to criticize him.

As the mentor, Guo Degang couldn't remain silent. With a kind smile, he said, "I've seen many people saying that concerts shouldn't be allowed, and the opinions are extremely strong. But then again, Andy Lau can be a triple threat in film, television, and music, so why should Yue Yunpeng be stuck doing crosstalk? If you want to criticize Yue Yunpeng, wait two more days; there are still seven or eight shows to go."

The sentence is full of smugness and sarcasm.

This is his most proficient rhetoric, a way of making excuses for himself.

The live chat exploded immediately upon hearing this.

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? Dementia? Andy Lau is good at movies, TV shows, and music because he has incredible talent. You're comparing him to him? What talent does your apprentice have? Can he sing 'The Fifth Ring Road' well? Can he act in 'Our Ancestors' for eighteen generations well? Name one thing!"

"The time when Andy Lau was criticized so harshly was when he was compared to this entertaining comedian."

"I don't know how he had the nerve to say that. What kind of ability does he have? What kind of ability does Yue Yunpeng have? How can he even try to extort money from someone like that?"

"I'll say anything for my apprentice. Let's see if the boomerang comes back."

"I'm really baffled. Guo Degang actually thinks Yue Yunpeng is comparable to Andy Lau? If that's the case, the entertainment industry is doomed. Can't we just stick to performing crosstalk?"

"Crosstalk? He's no good at crosstalk anymore. Without his old cheeky style, he's nothing. The true lineage of Deyun Club is all outside of Deyun Club."

A lot of criticism has emerged, mostly stemming from a lack of understanding of how Andy Lau could be compared to him.

I really think he's not mentally sound.

Guo Degang, however, didn't take it seriously; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

Until another message came through the live chat.

"Dalin is going to hold a concert, and he even posted on Weibo that he plans to ask for names for his children at the concert."

One sentence sent Guo Degang plummeting from happiness to rock bottom.

Why ask the audience and fans for names when choosing a name for a child?

Ask yourself, even if you have to stay up all night, you must think of a good solution.

He blinked, glanced at his apprentice, and tried to stop thinking about it.

"Come on, apprentice, tell me why you started this business. Explain it to everyone. There are too many people who don't understand and will scold you."

Yue Yunpeng nodded, "I know many people don't like this concert, but the more people criticize me, the more I want to do it, and the theme is 'I have to sing'."

As for the specifics, I hope everyone will stay tuned. I will definitely work hard to make sure everyone has a truly unforgettable night.

"Yes."

Guo Degang spoke up, "If he really loses money, wouldn't he know to close down? There's no need for everyone online to worry. Xiao Yue, sing one of your favorite songs for everyone."

"Okay, sing 'Sending My Lover Off'!"

I won't let you worry, nor will I let you fret.
I told you not to wear it wrong, little sister, it's a flowery bib!

The little girl's bib was originally a gold chain!
......"

Without saying a word, Yue Yunpeng started singing in the live stream.

During the performance, they ignored all criticism and directly signaled to others to control the live chat. It seems that Deyun Society now only caters to its own fans, completely ignoring everyone else. Even a backlash against them wouldn't be out of the question. (End of Chapter)
