Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 39 Hot Search
The recording of "Happy Camp" has ended, and the trainees in Class A finally had their first personal event.

They performed a flash mob at the IFC Center, and the nine Class A members danced the theme song again on the stage built by the organizer.

When nine tall and long-legged boys in silver-gray suits appeared at the IFC Center, they attracted the attention of the girls, who unconsciously gathered in that direction.

Gu Jingyi and the others noticed the sight and quickened their pace towards the stage set up in the mall lobby.

"It's Senior Jiang Chen!! He's here too! Guojin IFS is amazing, so cool."

"She's a contestant from 'Idol Producer,' right? Their fan page even released new pictures yesterday. The quality of this year's talent show is indeed quite high, especially the center position. They're really good at choosing, and it's very good for my eyes!"

"Hurry up and take a picture! I'm so excited! I never thought I'd run into a celebrity just by shopping for clothes."

The audience was talking a lot, and there were young girls all around holding up their mobile phones to take pictures or videos.

When the prelude ended and the first drum beat sounded, Gu Jingyi, who was wearing a silver-gray school uniform suit, looked up in time with the rhythm, and a burst of excited cheers suddenly rang out in the mall.

Who knows how touching this picture is.

The acoustics in a high-end shopping mall are surprisingly good and loud.

The number of audience members attracted by the music began to increase, and the crowd consciously walked towards the stage.

Countless mobile phone cameras were pointed at the trainees on the stage, and the boy in the center position was obviously stronger.

His whole body is glowing, and every movement is clean and neat. The transitions are also very fast, and the dance moves are so fast that they are hard to see clearly, but they are also precise and handsome.

Gu Jingyi is so superior that everyone's eyes unconsciously focus on him. Whether it's strength or movement, he is better than the other trainees. When entering the killing part of "EiEi", Gu Jingyi tilted his head and smiled softly, which immediately made the girls who caught this smile fly with his handsomeness.

"The Purple Star of domestic entertainment is here!!"

"Damn! That's so cool! Are the quality of talent shows this high these days? This dance is amazing! It's so cool."

"Girls, 'Jiang Chen' is at IFC! Do you know why he's such a great dancer?"

"Gu Jingyi spent five years as a trainee overseas before debuting as an actor. He was meant to be on stage! Damn YG! Damn Yang Hyun Suk, did you hear that?"

Countless videos began to be uploaded to Weibo, and each viewer had their own preferences. Only those who had followed the offline performance could truly understand the charm of the live performance.

At close range, most viewers can quickly find their preferred candidate.

The names "Gu Jingyi", "Cai Xukun" and "Justin" were mentioned repeatedly, but the one mentioned the most was Gu Jingyi.

When the video was uploaded to Weibo, it quickly became a trending video. Everyone on the comment board focused on different things, but Gu Jingyi's name was mentioned frequently, and the popularity exploded.

Tian Xiwei took a screenshot of Gu Jingyi's part in the video, added a filter, made it into an animated GIF, and posted it in a nine-grid format.

On Weibo, the hot search about "Idol Producer" is still hanging.

There are a lot of passers-by who click in, and the comments below are basically fans who bought stocks in advance and are recommending their idols.

After Tian Xiwei released the animated picture that she had edited frame by frame, it was quickly collected by other fans of Gu Jingyi.

Bet in the group
[Gu Jingyi’s Donuts]: Sisters, let’s take a break from voting.

[Gu Jingyi's Donuts]: Gu Jingyi is trending! Their flash mob hit several topics today. The image has been edited and is on my homepage. Save it now, and comment with the image under the relevant trending searches. Use a high-ranking account, and other fans, please remember to like it.

[Gu Jingyi's Donut]: Both external likes and internal likes are required. Internal likes are the comments you reply to in the comments section of the big fans. After Tian Xiwei tagged everyone, she quickly received a positive response.

After receiving each comment, the accounts occupying the front row also posted it to the super topic and fan group. The entire comment control process was carried out in an orderly manner.

When Tian Xiwei was about to leave the backstage, her phone kept vibrating.

She turned on the screen out of habit, and it was a private message notification.

Recently, many people have privately messaged her asking detailed questions about Gu Jingyi, and she reads every one of them. She basically replies to all of them, not letting go of any potential comrades who might fall in love with Gu Jingyi.

When she clicked on the private message and read the content clearly, Tian Xiwei sat up from the bed!

User 282639: Excuse me, I filmed a fairly complete live video of Gu Jingyi on "Happy Camp." However, due to fan loyalty concerns, I can't post it on my own account. If I post it on a secondary account, it won't have a high enough reach, so I'm thinking of asking if you'd be willing to share it on my behalf without attribution.
Only one private message can be sent between strangers on Weibo. Seeing this text, Tian Xiwei quickly replied.

[Gu Jingyi's Donuts: Of course! Thank you for sharing your candid video and giving me permission!]
Although this conversation was a bit strange, Tian Xiwei understood it after thinking about it for a while.

Those who can enter "Happy Camp" and watch the live show in advance must be Zhang Yixing's fans. The rules of the top star's fan circle are very strict.

Not to mention using personal fan accounts to post direct shots of other idols, even liking other idols’ Weibo posts will be targeted.

The other party was silent for a moment, and then quickly sent the video over.

After the video was transmitted, Tian Xiwei quickly clicked it.

It can be seen that the editing skills of the other party are very mature. She re-adjusted the color of the original video, stuck to the beat to enhance the effect of the card point, and applied a two-second contrast color darkening filter during the chorus.

There aren't many adjustments to make, just a few seconds.

But it increased the impact of the stage and amplified the adrenaline rush for the audience.

Gu Jingyi's absolute control over the stage is fully demonstrated in this video.

Tian Xiwei guessed instantly that Gu Jingyi had lured away the other party's big fan.

After the video was released, she watched in a daze as the number of followers on her account continued to increase.

The video's click-through rate skyrocketed, and people were constantly tagging her on Weibo. The excessive amount of data in the background caused the interface to freeze.

When the number of online users soared to "1+" within an hour, Tian Xiwei knew that this straight shot had become a hit.

Gu Jingyi is like a purple star appearing out of nowhere in the domestic entertainment industry.

His appearance has filled all the gaps in the domestic entertainment trainee system such as "Come on Boys" and "A Certain Youth Group".

What’s even more frightening is that “A Little Thing Called First Love” has attracted much attention among young people.

The fan portraits from live-shots and talent shows also highly overlap with those of drama fans.

[I can't stand it anymore. I always thought that people like Jiang Chen had no substitutes. I didn't expect that the actor himself is even more dreamy than Jiang Chen.]
[Gu Jingyi is indeed a dream girl. I am already researching him.]
While the trainees were still sitting in the van heading back to the camp, Gu Jingyi once again solidified his fan base with his stage charm.

The actor's own charm is the key to converting drama fans into popularity.
