Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 40: Bazaar's New Year Issue is Online
Perhaps sensing Gu Jingyi's popularity, Bazaar magazine also announced on Weibo that its 18 annual issue will be online in three days.

However, this time, the order of male and female guests on Bazaar At was a bit subtle.

The magazine first tagged Gu Jingyi and then Dilraba Dilmurat.

Although they have the same role, Gu Jingyi is slightly better than Dilraba Dilmurat.

What's even more cunning is that although it's a double cover, Bazaar magazine has separate male and female editions on the pre-sale channel.

Want to stir up conflicts among fans and stimulate sales again.

Questions that provoke conflict are popping up all over Zhihu:
What do you think of Gu Jingyi and Dilraba Dilmurat shooting a double cover for Bazaar's new annual issue?

Thank you for the invitation. Let me just say a few words:

Being able to obtain this top resource is very important for the future development of both Gu Jingyi and Di Lieba in the fashion circle.

Perhaps Gu Jingyi is relatively indifferent, and a more attentive eye would have noticed that Dior appears surprisingly frequently in his street shots, public appearances, and his private outfits on his way to and from get off work on "Idol Producer."

Let's share some fashion gossip: Dior has Gu Jingyi on probation. This time, Gu Jingyi appeared on the opening issue of Harper's Bazaar, and it was Dior who promoted her.

The foundation of the blue-blooded top luxury brand is still very profound, allowing Gu Jingyi, a newcomer in the circle who only has hit dramas, to get a ticket to the fashion circle in advance.

Bazaar first tagged Gu Jingyi, and in addition to stimulating sales, it should also be intended to show goodwill to Dior from a distance.

In short, this is the first time that Gu Jingyi and Dilraba Dilmurat have appeared on the official cover of the top five women's magazines. Note that this is not a supplement but a main issue!
Therefore, sales are very important. If fans of both parties want to go further in the fashion circle, they should stop fighting with each other for the ranking.

Gu Jingyi is already actively working with Bazaar to start pre-sales for his personal channel. The proportion of girlfriend fans and career fans among male traffic is originally higher than that of female traffic.

This should be the first time that Dilraba Dilmurat has appeared on the cover of a top magazine since she became a top female star. The industry is eagerly looking forward to the sales.

In the fashion world, rankings and other things don't really boost an artist's popularity. Apart from single-person covers, the names before and after a double-person cover are really not that important.

Don't be misled. As a fan, you really shouldn't help your idol fight for a ranking. These actions won't win anything for your idol, and may even make things difficult for her. In these matters, fans are just outsiders. Be quiet. Rankings aren't determined by fighting, but by the work itself.

Finally, let me add: Gu Jingyi's resources are perfectly normal, given his face. His singing, dancing, and acting are among the best of the younger generation. Huace and Dingshe, with their eyes wide open, knew who to promote. The Chinese entertainment industry has never seen a male artist who combines idol popularity with the public likability of an actor. His future is destined to be bright.

"Bazaar" originally planned to open its annual issue with Pang Bing, one of the "Four Dan and Two Bing", as the cover, which can be regarded as a clear preference of the blue-blooded luxury brand for Gu Jingyi.

So everyone should just go to bed and go home...

This is the response from a fashion insider who couldn't stand the hundreds of comments being made on a hot post about the war of words between fans of both sides.

The entire article was filled with pertinent answers, which quickly gained recognition from fans of both sides.

Apart from the radical fans who are still cursing and swearing, there are a few sarcastic remarks on the homepage: "Overseas gold-plated traffic means good resources, even Dilraba can come to carry the sedan chair."

The other Alices were all focusing on increasing sales. Gu Jingyi's pre-sale channel sold out 2 copies in 5 minutes after it went online.

He has been on the hot searches almost every day these days, and the fans who have watched his performance on stage are at their most excited.

Dilraba Dilmurat quickly withdrew the verbal battle, and all pre-sale channels were sold out 10 minutes later.

There are still two days before "Bazaar" goes online, and there are still some minor frictions between Gu Jingyi and Dilraba Dilmurat fans these days.

"Resource-based celebrities, ugh, even newcomers who just debuted can rely on Dilraba Dilmurat to promote them."

"Oh, yes, yes, do you want to take a look at the broadcast data of "A Little Thing Called First Love"? It was online for a month and ranked in the top ten most popular dramas of the year on the Penguin website. Gu Jingyi, who has a hit drama, has a work that is more popular than yours that has been on the stage for several years. It's so annoying. My Gu Jingyi has both acting skills and stage performances. The only black spot is that he has been in the industry for a short time." Local wars occasionally break out, but they are controlled to a certain extent.

Fans of both sides are holding their breath, waiting for "Bazaar" to go online.

Time quickly arrived and the day came when the first issue of "Bazaar" was officially released. Fans of both sides tried their best to give their idols the best.

On January 2018, 1, Bazaar released a short film of their collaboration on its official account.

The collision of two top-notch looks makes them a perfect match.

Some fans of both sides who were cursing at each other before, quietly clashed with each other.

When the Bazaar cover was released, it caused a huge stir.

Di Lieba pulled Gu Jingyi's tie with one hand, and he leaned forward and turned his head to kiss his female companion on the ear.

In the picture, Gu Jingyi's shirt collar is slightly open, revealing a large area of ​​muscular chest muscles. Light nail scratches appear on his chest, making him look both astringent and full of tension.

What a perfect match, strong man and strong woman!

As soon as this cover came out, even some passers-by who were just appreciating the appearance couldn't sit still.

They were so obsessed with CP that they started fighting with each other's single-player tags in the square.

This cover design is so cutting-edge! Harper's Bazaar is truly one of the top five women's magazines. You guys are amazing! You really know how to take photos!

I'm so envious of Dilraba Dilmurat. Is this the superb self-control of a top female star? She was able to complete the shoot on set without distraction, facing Gu Jingyi, who has such a great figure and looks. If it were me, I would have just bitten her and hugged her and kissed her.

These are comments from non-fans who simply admire the looks. Since they aren't fans of either team, they're openly criticizing the fans. They completely fail to understand the frustrations of fans on either side, leaving them feeling bitter.

[I'm really impressed. Dilraba Dilmurat is single, okay? If you guys want to follow her, don't use the Dilraba Dilmurat single tag!]

[This also involves Gu Jingyi? What can I say? Sorry, my husband Gu Jingyi's acting is too good, and I gave you unnecessary CP fantasies.]

Gu Jingyi is a very ambitious male artist. Don't pair him with a handsome guy. [Photo: CAFM students' evaluation of Gu Jingyi]

When passersby clicked on it, they saw stories of Gu Jingyi refusing to fall in love and refusing to confess his love.

From the perspective of his classmates, Gu Jingyi is a treasure of the Central Conservatory of Music's intangible cultural heritage. Within a month of enrolling, he'd received countless confessions. None of them were successful, and the girls who had failed in their attempts gradually nicknamed him "the intangible treasure of the Central Conservatory of Music."

Later there are some street shots of Gu Jingyi attending classes and events during his student days.

When Gu Jingyi's fans clicked on the post and saw it, they were instantly filled with pride. They collected picture after picture and commented with a Versailles-like tone: "There's no way this handsome guy can avoid being paired up. But our Jingyi is truly single. Those who are mixing in with passersby and trying to pair him up with someone out of thin air are completely lost!"

No matter how much they curse, fans will still push for sales.

One minute after the double issue of "Bazaar" was released, 1 copies sold through Gu Jingyi's single sales channel were sold out again.

Half an hour later, Bazaar restocked another 20,000 copies.

Still one minute, and it was cut off in seconds again.

The strong ability of fans to spend money has also made the industry's evaluation of Gu Jingyi increasingly higher.
