I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 151: Weird trend of public opinion, Xu Kong’s fans started to mediate?

"Sister Yuxin, what's wrong with you?"

Song Youyou finally noticed Shang Yuxin's condition at this time.

"fine."

Shang Yuxin reacted quickly and calmed down.

"It's too late to be a couple, and too little talent to pretend to be friends"

The lyrics were written in a way that made it difficult for her not to put herself into the perspective of Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao.

"Brother Xu Kong, you sing so well!"

Xu Kong's performance has ended. Including the three songs and some time interacting with the audience, Xu Kong actually only stayed on the stage for about twenty minutes in total.

This is enough to prove how easy it is to earn the performance fees at the Mint Music Festival.

Shang Yuxin looked unhappy.

Compared to Song Youyou, who almost never concealed her emotions, she felt more and more like Lin Yueru in the drama.

"Did you write this song from Li Xiaoyao's perspective?"

She just asked.

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

The main reason is that he himself has never thought about these things.

It’s just because this performance requires three songs, so I just put together one that’s similar in style.

However, Shang Yuxin obviously had her own interpretation, and Xu Kong didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he nodded silently.

Even though Xu Kong earns his appearance fee easily, it must be said that the organizer of the Mint Music Festival will definitely not lose money.

Not to mention how much more tickets were sold than expected.

Just looking at the hot atmosphere on the scene, the popularity of this music festival cannot be low.

Therefore, the appearance fee of the Mint Music Festival is not just a simple appearance fee, but also includes the cost of using Xu Kong to promote his own music festival.

That's why I made an appointment with Xu Kong in advance that the three songs he performed at this music festival must be the same as last year, all new songs that have never been released.

The audience at the scene certainly tried their best to keep Xu Kong, hoping that he could return to perform, but the performance time was fixed and there were still special performances of other singers after him.

Taking Song Youyou and Shang Yuxin, he left from the exclusive guest announcement.

Xu Kong’s announcement schedule this time has come to an end.

Of course, the music festival is over, but the related popularity and online discussions have just begun.

The next day, the first Mint Music Festival held in Beijing this year became a hot topic.

Corresponding to this are the live videos of Xu Kong’s three new songs on the show.

There are videos of various times and angles. Just from the perspective of these ordinary audiences, you can see how popular the scene is.

At the same time, Feiniao released a higher-definition live video with a professional camera.

The popularity of Xu Kong's three new songs is getting higher and higher.

However, there is not much worth discussing about the song itself. Instead, it is the words in the Fei Niao video that have caused overwhelming discussion online.

"It can be seen that the three songs are completely of the same style and type. If I were to say what my biggest feeling was after listening to these three songs at once, it would definitely be that I felt that the three songs were from the same album."

"But unfortunately, if we make an album with a unified style based on these three songs, the quality will definitely not be low. I even think it is likely to be nominated for this year's best album."

"Xu Kong also has this ability, but he was so willful that he put all these songs into a TV series."

Although it was not stated explicitly, as a music self-media, most of Feiniao's opinions are about how Xu Kong has devoted too much time and energy to film and television.

I think this shouldn't be the case. He should take more time to concentrate on making music, especially for his first album which is the most important in his music career.

The concept of an album actually originated from the era of records. At that time in the Chinese music scene, the best indicator of a singer’s commercial value was album sales.

However, with the advent of the Internet age, the physical record industry has almost been wiped out.

Although most singers still release their own digital albums.

Some will still charge a fee, but sales will never return to the golden age of records.

In fact, the fact is that the so-called album sales, which was once the most valuable data, has long been a mere name.

More often than not, some singers who become famous overnight are due to the release of digital singles.

The number of plays, various digital charts, and even the reach of the song are the key to measuring everything.

However, although the album sales indicator no longer exists, in the current music scene, a complete album is still the key to measuring a singer's strength.

Especially some albums with relatively complete concepts, even if there are not many hit singles in them, they can still gain a very high status.

This was the point that Xu Kong was criticized the most after he won the Best Male Singer award at the music festival last year.

There is no complete album.

As an internet celebrity, Feiniao's remarks were unexpectedly agreed upon by many traditional music critics.

Many people forwarded his video and gave their opinions.

"It's a pity for Xu Kong. He should have calmed down and made his first album instead of wasting his talent on filming."

“These three songs should definitely be expanded to create a strong concept album with a highly unified style.”

"I agree. I think Xu Kong is the most talented musician of the new generation in the Chinese music scene. He shouldn't waste his energy on anything other than music."

Netizens didn’t feel too much about it.

However, when I see people with hundreds of millions of fans online, or well-known music critics saying such things, I naturally start to follow suit subconsciously.

Some of Xu Kong's fans were even more extreme, and simply called on everyone to boycott Xu Kong's new drama so that he could concentrate on writing songs and making music in the future.

These are obviously not the fans that Xu Kong used to have as a top star.

Fans in the fan circle just need to support their brother unconditionally no matter what he does.

These music fans became fans of Xu Kong later after listening to one of his songs.

The thoughts and brain circuits are completely different.

Things have developed to this point, but it is far from over.

Because another old friend also came in.

The number of fans on the entire network has exceeded 50 million, which almost represents the largest personal film and television self-media in China.

However, Yiguo's tone was not as gentle as the fat bird that caused the whole incident.

"Have you music critics gone stupid from listening to too many songs?"

"You are boycotting Xu Kong's new drama. Anyone who says this is either stupid or evil!"

"What do you mean Xu Kong wasted his time and energy?"

"Of course I acknowledge Xu Kong's talent in music."

"But similarly, are you aware of Xu Kong's potential in film and television?"

"Xu Kong just turned 20 this year, and last year's hit drama "Want to See You" was written, directed, and performed entirely by him."

"The entire drama is impeccable, whether it's the script completion, camera scheduling, or his acting skills. Do you know what this means?"

“Not to mention, this is Xu Kong’s first drama. Before that, he had never learned how to write scripts or direct, and he had never even learned acting in a systematic way.” With Yiguo taking the lead, many film critics and film and television self-media in the circle became unhappy.

"These people are willing to do anything to gain popularity. They really don't consider the people who like Xu Kong's works at all!"

"I've been looking forward to Xu Kong's new drama since the New Year's Eve party at the beginning of the year. Do you really think Xu Kong will stop filming in the future just because of what you said?"

"These music critics actually think that Xu Kong will not be able to take advantage of their popularity if he focuses on acting in the future. If it were up to me, Xu Kong should really focus on acting in the future and stop singing and releasing albums."

What does it mean to ask Xu Kong to stop filming and concentrate on making music?

Apart from anything else, what Igor said about the future is a little far away.

But for now, the upcoming summer season is full of big productions from domestic producers, but the most popular and anticipated one by the audience is none other than Xu Kong's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After all, it is impossible to make a definitive conclusion about the drama as it has not been aired yet, but many film and television self-media have an idea of ​​it.

In the past month, the video with the best data is the one that analyzed the trailer of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

To put it bluntly, even if the dramas produced by Xu Kong are really not that good, they are definitely the secret code for traffic.

If Xu Kong stops filming, wouldn’t the simple and easy-to-find topic be gone?
In fact, although they are in different fields, they are all in the same industry.

Just like Xu Kong in the current Chinese music scene, he represents a point of popularity and topic not only for Feiniao, but also for most music self-media and music critics.

Just like this time, the Mint Music Festival itself is actually impossible to attract so much attention.

But as soon as Xu Kong's three new songs came out, almost all the music self-media and music critics were the first to take advantage of this wave of popularity.

At this point, things were starting to become outrageous.

In the past, most of the verbal battles were between fans and haters of celebrity artists.

If it gets more intense, it's nothing more than a fight between different artists.

But the current situation is that online self-media in the fields of music and film and television, as well as a group of traditional music critics and film critics, have started arguing directly because of Xu Kong.

Moreover, at night, the situation became more serious, and Xu Kong's own fans and music fans also joined the fight.

Some marketing accounts on Weibo even started to organize a vote on "Should Xu Kong make movies or music?"

It can be said that the entire northwest Shanxi is in complete chaos.

Feiniao, the instigator, actually didn't think too much when he wrote the video copy. He just said what he thought of subconsciously.

Who knew it would bring about such a rhythm.

Of course, as an internet celebrity with a keen sense of smell, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to calm the matter down. Instead, he personally joined the group and did not miss out on this hard-earned popularity.

"Sister Fangfang, which side are we helping?"

"But why do both sides seem to be praising my brother?"

"Yeah, I took a look and I had no idea what to say."

Not to mention the passers-by who were just watching the show, even Xu Kong's largest fan base, the most pure fan circle, most of the fans were confused at this moment.

It is true that Xu Kong is at the center of public opinion.

But this matter seems bizarre no matter how you look at it.

According to the professional ethics of fan circles in the past, they would definitely take action to control the comments, confront and spray the haters at this time.

The only difference from the past was that both sides of the quarrel seemed to be praising Xu Kong.

On the one hand, some people say that Xu Kong is very talented in film and television, and on the other hand, they say that Xu Kong is a rare musical genius.

They all said nice things, how can they respond?

Although there are many members in Xu Kong’s fan groups, the main management is actually done by the operations staff of Xu Kong Studio.

In order to manage accounts on various platforms including Weibo and fan groups, Guo Zihao hired a total of three operators.

Among them, Liang Xiaofang is responsible for the management of the fan group.

At this moment, looking at the dozens of big fan leaders in the group asking their fans what they should do, Liang Xiaofang herself didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She has previously managed fan groups for many artists, including top stars in the domestic entertainment industry as well as some powerful actors and singers.

But no matter who it is, it is the first time that Liang Xiaofang has encountered such a situation.

All she could do was to have a brief discussion with the person in charge of public relations at Xu Kong Studio.

Then he went to find Guo Zihao in person.

Because Xu Kong hadn't come to the studio in recent days, Guo Zihao could only hesitantly express his thoughts:

"If it really doesn't work, how about trying to persuade her?"

That’s right, in the end it was decided after discussions at Xu Kong Studio and among a group of big fans.

The result is that Xu Kong's fans have to persuade both sides.

At this moment, the debate among netizens online has begun to escalate to such a huge topic as which is more important, music or film and television.

If the debate continues like this, both circles will be unable to reach a conclusion even after a few days of arguing.

As a result, such outrageous scenes can be seen in the comment sections of various platforms including Weibo.

That is, the fan circle group, which is good at controlling comments, online wars of words, and has a very bad reputation, has actually started to play the role of peacemaker in the comment section.

After all, Xu Kong debuted as a traffic star. Even though he tried to transform himself in the past six months, the number of his fans has only increased.

But in the past six months, Xu Kong's reputation and word-of-mouth have always been very good, making them almost have no sense of presence.

This time, they appeared in such a dramatic way.

It's really a bit unbearable.

Fans in the fan circle began to ask netizens to stop arguing. This kind of scene may be the first time in the history of domestic entertainment.

Many people within the water army companies couldn’t help but sigh: Why is the trend of public opinion so weird? Am I seeing things?
Did Xu Kong’s fans become the ones who intervened to stop the fight?
As the whole incident has developed to this point, Xu Kong himself has actually not been affected much.

Although it has been at the center of public opinion since the beginning.

But looking around, almost everyone is praising Xu Kong, and there is hardly any criticism at all.

As for self-media or film and music critics like Feiniao and Yiguo, it is not a bad thing at all.

Although he participated in the war of words, he actually gained huge traffic and attention.

In less than two days, the number of fans of Feiniao’s account increased by nearly 500,000.

Of course, it's not that no one is unaffected.

That is the organizer of the Mint Music Festival who was the promoter of the whole thing and even took the initiative to buy hot searches and use water armies to help promote it.

At that time, they just hoped to use Xu Kong's three new songs to promote their performances at music festivals across the country this year.

However, it turned out that as the matter developed to this point, netizens' attention had completely shifted.

No one is talking about Mint's music festival anymore.

That’s not right, that’s not right, why is the script different from last year!
They are all new songs from Xu Kong’s new drama, and the songs themselves have become popular, but why does no one care about them as the organizer of the music festival?

This made the person in charge of the Mint Music Festival very anxious.

I kept trying to bring the topic to my own music festival, but always failed in the end.
