Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 48 Exploded (5.3K)

The first episode of "Idol Producer" was a hit!

If the pilot is the appetizer, then after the first episode is officially aired.

Whether it is the playback index, online popularity or discussion of popular contestants, they all topped the major social media platforms.

“Idol Producer’s first A”

"Zhang Yixing Balance"

"Gu Jingyi's number 5 is a lucky number"

Among the top 50 trending searches on Weibo, "Idol Producer" ranked in the top five.

The first episode of the show was just aired, and the preliminary evaluation stage was divided into two parts. The contestants were already unveiled during the seat selection phase, and the audience had a basic understanding of the contestants.

Under the attention of the public, the next episode of the first season of "Idol Producer" soon arrived the next night.

Langshi City, Hebei Province

Zhou Jieqiong, wearing a silk nightgown, had just finished a day's journey and returned to her hotel.

She brushed her long hair, which had been a little messy on her shoulders all day, with her fingers and tidied it up a little. Then she threw off her high heels and walked towards the bathroom in her slippers.

After washing up, Zhou Jieqiong took off her shirt and skirt and changed into a black silk nightgown of excellent quality, which was fully filled by the perfect curve of her hips.

As she walked, her buttocks swayed back and forth, and her skirt rose and fell to a certain extent, which was very beautiful.

Last night, she did not watch "Idol Producer", in which she served as a dance instructor.

The broadcast status of this program is not very clear.

Today, when she went to shoot an advertisement, the brand's public relations lady asked her with a smile if she could help get Gu Jingyi's autograph.

Zhou Jieqiong then realized that "Idol Producer" had become a huge hit.

On the way back to the hotel, she also checked the data on her phone in the nanny car. The response from the brand's PR representative can indeed be used as a reference, but the feedback from the entire market is the most authentic.

After learning about the records that were broken one after another, Zhou Jieqiong realized that "Idol Producer" was really that popular.

"Since it's so popular, I have to take a closer look. I wonder how many shots I will have on the show."

Zhou Jieqiong clicked on the Kiwi platform and opened "Idol Producer".

In yesterday's previous episode, she had already gone through it in the car at double speed.

However, she turned on the barrage and had a rough idea of ​​the trainees' popularity.

We already have a general understanding of the popularity of some popular contestants, such as Gu Jingyi, Cai Xukun, Chen Linong, Fan Chengcheng, and Justin.

"It seems like this is the top circle of 'Idol Producer'. Jieqiong, you have to be nicer to them on the show."

At that time, she heard her agent say this and smiled without comment.

After returning home, she just picked up the suspense left by the program crew yesterday.

"Tsk, kiwis really can stir up emotions. But after the audience sees Gu Jingyi's performance, they'll probably all call it a scam."

Zhou Jieqiong smiled and continued reading while lying on the bed.

"Cai Xukun, your level assessment is—"

"Ah!"

As Cai Xukun's level was determined, the barrage of comments exploded.

[KunKun is awesome, it’s an A!]
[I'm amused. What does Wang Linkai mean? He's standing in the audience and he's actually curling his lips.]
[Of course, it's because I'm not convinced by your brother's strength. Do I even need to ask?]
[A little bit, whatever Gu fans say. The previous Douban posts all claiming Gu Jingyi's first A was just a smokescreen. Don't get too excited about the champagne midway through, it's too early.]
The barrage of comments started to clamor again, and Zhou Jieqiong felt a little tired. She fast-forwarded through the performances of the next few groups of trainees.

Before the next trainee came on stage, the camera kept showing the faces of the other trainees with simple and crude expressions of "Wow..." and "Oh my God!" and almost staring at each other, accompanied by the background music -

"What? Isn't this the theme song of A Little Thing Called First Love?"

The audience who were watching the live broadcast also laughed while posting comments: "Isn't this the theme song sung by Gu Jingyi, "Is It a Dream?" He is worthy of being Brother Gu, a man with his own background music."

Fans were equally excited. Tian Xiwei and other fans posted comments together in the guesthouse:

[Travel the world with Jing, and walk the path with Yi!]
[Our Brother Gu is number one on Weibo's trainee list, so he can't be without a good reputation!]
The Trainee List is a new list specially created by Weibo after it realized that "Idol Producer" was a hit.

In the first round of trainee rankings, Gu Jingyi easily won the first place.

Tian Xiwei and the first group of fans who followed Gu Jingyi were already going crazy and they had no time to stay calm.

Just the appearance alone almost brought tears to my eyes!

Compared with his brief appearance on the day of the Kuaiben recording, Gu Jingyi's temperament in the program dynamics is more prominent.

He has clear eyes and a tall figure. When Gu Jingyi raised his eyes and met the approaching jib camera.

Not to mention the fans, even the audience who tuned in to watch the show couldn't stand it...

"This is the face of the Yanba in the domestic entertainment industry!"

"The director's voiceover, 'Just standing there without doing anything can get people to vote for him,' is so true! Who could resist this face? Do you really have the heart to take advantage of it for free?"

Then Gu Jingyi's debut performance began to be broadcast. In the camera, his facial features were delicate and three-dimensional, his jawline was very soft, and his black hair was fine and soft.

"【Lyrics】: Gu Jingyi."

"【Composer】: Gu Jingyi."

"【Singer】: Gu Jingyi."

The three lines of words that appeared on the screen in succession made Tian Xiwei a little excited.

She sat on the sofa and changed her posture.
She gently pulled at her stockings.

Tian Xiwei herself was not aware of these unconscious behaviors.

Now, all the fans in the entire guesthouse are watching the program intently.

As soon as the melodious prelude sounded, they were lifted up.

A handsome young man stood in the center of the stage, the bright lights gently shrouding him. As he sang quietly and calmly with his eyes closed, it seemed as if all his worries slipped away through his fingers.

His voice is clean and clear, without any tricks or showmanship in the beginning. He just uses the simplest way to express his emotions bit by bit.

"Books always love to write about the evenings of unexpected joy, the bicycle rides, and the dialogues between him and her."

"Boys love to see a girl wearing white clothes."

"There are so many plots, many of them are romantic. There are so many sad moments, and it's a good breakup."

“It would take days to finish.”

The lyrics of the first half are dense and slow, just like the endless spring rain, falling on everyone's heart.

Gu Jingyi, like a troubadour, effortlessly unfolded the scene. The vocalist's powerful voice and long, drawn-out breaths brought peace to the audience.

"I kissed you just now, and you liked it too, right?"

"Otherwise, why would you keep holding my hand?"

"..."

"I will slowly like you, slowly become close to you, slowly talk about myself, slowly walk with you, slowly I want to cooperate with you, slowly give myself to you."

"I like you slowly, remember you slowly, accompany you slowly, and grow old with you slowly."

“Because slowly is a very good reason~”

Tian Xiwei watched Gu Jingyi purse his lips and reveal a faint smile after he finished singing. She always felt that this song touched her heart directly.

She couldn't help but imagine her daily life with Gu Jingyi.

Tian Xiwei held the teddy bear in her arms and watched this section many times like a madman, dragging the progress bar. Every expression on Gu Jingyi's face made her heart beat faster.

The other fans had no intention of stopping it, and everyone was still enjoying it.

Tian Xiwei thought, no one could not be moved by Gu Jingyi after watching this performance, no one!

"Xiao Tian, ​​open the barrage. Let's see if anyone is causing trouble. If so, mark them and send them to the fan group to encourage everyone to report them."

A fangirl spoke up, and Tian Xiwei finally woke up from her dream.

In order to avoid being disturbed, she turned off the barrage and watched it carefully.

I just rewound the progress bar to the beginning of the stage and clicked to open the barrage. The video froze for a moment, and then a large number of barrages rushed in. They were so dense that they almost took up the entire screen.

Tian Xiwei quickly changed the way the barrage was displayed, using a quarter screen and anti-blocking function.

This trainee is so handsome, and he sings beautifully too. This is what an idol should be like, so awesome.
[He was standing and singing, his hands looked so nice, and his legs were so long and straight! Tears were streaming from my mouth, hahahahahahaha]
[What song is this that I haven't heard before? It sounds really good.]
[The song above is Gu Jingyi's original work. It will be available on Penguin Music after the show airs.]
The commentary session made Tian Xiwei secretly happy. Li Ronghao's various compliments wiped out his previous image of a "cold mentor".

However, Zhou Jieqiong's cheesy love words still made fans a little restless.

[Oh my god, how dare she do that? Is Gu Ge the face of the show? He's never been some kind of avatar, right? Gu Jingyi, the "Big Devil" as all the trainees call him on Produce 202, is simply amazing!]
[Ms. Zhou, please restrain yourself and be mindful of your status.] Brother Gu's face was filled with rejection, almost cursing.
Some more radical girlfriend fans started cursing directly:
[I'm floored. I don't know what the production team was thinking. They actually invited her. Compare that to Cheng Xiao's composure next to her. This Ms. Zhou just started harassing the trainees.]
[If you're in heat, go somewhere else, stay away from my Jingyi!]
Fans hate it most when their idols are involved in scandals with any female stars.

Gu Jingyi didn't do anything, yet Zhou Jieqiong just came up to him. She got scolded, but she deserved it.

Wang Jiaer interrupted Zhou Jieqiong and started to defend her. He pointed out Gu Jingyi's dominant position in "Produce 202" and boasted about her strength.

The self-evaluation of “All Rounder” also excited fans, who all defended him:

[Gu Jingyi is the face and ace. He was treated unfairly before. After he withdrew from the competition, the South Korean team directly criticized the production team.]
[A historically handsome, flawless hexagonal warrior. "Idol Producer," you're so lucky to have Gu Jingyi.]
Zhang Yixing asked Gu Jingyi to try another dance, and he nodded and began to perform.

The shoes made a slight scraping sound on the stage floor, and Gu Jingyi's mood kept changing with the music. Every little expression of his was perfectly in line with the rhythm of the background music, when he smiled and looked up while spinning on one hand.

Sweat dripped down his chiseled face, and his whole body exuded an extremely aggressive hormone. With the added bonus of the stage, Gu Jingyi radiated a dazzling light.

[I'm interested, my heart is moved.]
[Gu Jingyi, please stop laughing. You're really going bad, you Mom fan!]
[This is so sweet! I just saw Jing Yiyi's abs! Going back to 30 minutes and 50 seconds, he was flirting with me. He just likes me!]
Zhang Yixing's words, "Gu Jingyi is the perfect answer of A" once again ignited the whole audience.

With just 6 minutes of footage, Gu Jingyi easily became a hot topic on mainstream Korean websites.

However, when the camera turned to the trainees' reactions, Wang Linkai flashed by.

This made Tian Xiwei narrow her eyes again, and she took a screenshot and circled it.

"Did you notice that Wang Linkai didn't have a rating label on him when he sat in the audience during Gu Jingyi's debut performance? But during Cai Xukun's debut performance, he already had a rating of B on him."

Tian Xiwei turned around and asked the girls standing beside her.

"Yeah, no wonder I felt something was wrong. Cai Xukun got an A, and we went backstage to interview him about his feelings. Gu Jingyi also got an A, and he didn't follow this process at all!"

"The first A is Gu Jingyi! How dare 'Idol Producer' do this! We need to publish it and defend his rights."

"Gu Jingyi's journey has been incredibly difficult. Trainees on the show are just pawns in the capital game. It's like this back home, I can't imagine what kind of injustices he's endured overseas!"

Tian Xiwei nodded and began to edit the rights protection video.

In less than ten minutes, it was posted to the Weibo fan group.

The fans who were still admiring the looks and praising their brother's appearance instantly became angry.

One by one, they tagged "Idol Producer" on their homepage and began to defend their rights.

Tian Xiwei did not stop either. She began to edit the previous information about Gu Jingyi that she had sorted out.

"Ahhh, Jingyi is out again. How dare Wang Ziyi challenge Gu Jingyi."

"Sweetie, look, Jingyi is "Battle"."

The familiar fangirl patted Tian Xiwei's arm and began to remind her.

Tian Xiwei also put down her phone temporarily and started reading.

Wang Ziyi on the screen was still dancing and widening his face, implying that Gu Jingyi was a "quit contestant". He also used a trick to limit the competition to "Rap", saying, "Looking good is useless, being good on stage is the real skill."

This series of actions made Tian Xiwei unable to help but curse, "What kind of Baopilong is this?"

Wang Ziyi contributed his classic freestyle, "Everyone's gaze is like a stimulant to me..."

A one-minute freestyle with beat left Tian Xiwei speechless.

He is obviously so ordinary in strength, yet so confident...

Soon it was Gu Jingyi's turn and he stood on the stage.

However, the program team added a beat to Gu Jingyi when it was broadcast.

The song "Throne" is so powerful, and the beat makes it even more powerful.

"Wow, pick up your weapons again and kill all the thieves."

"The king is a dictator and won't listen to your objections, Boy"

After singing two and a half sentences, the voice is stable and the tone is strong.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he instantly overshadowed Wang Ziyi's performance.

"Give you three seconds to kneel down, and I'll forgive you the crime of rebellion, boy."

On the stage, Gu Jingyi made a kneeling gesture with his hands and glanced coldly at Wang Ziyi standing to the side of the stage.

The voice, which was not high-pitched, seemed to be ignited and exploded in the audience. Gu Jingyi just stood on the stage and easily conquered everyone's hearing sense.

And this is just the beginning.

“Post notices all over the city walls”

"Tell those young boys that the king has arrived"

Gu Jingyi pointed to the throne on the pyramid and smiled.

"I will issue an edict to the world"

"Write your sincere confession"

The sudden addition of this opera tune once again elevated the mood of this rap.

"If I move my butt, I can reach your sky"

"I was born the chosen one because I was born that way."

"Even if you have no grudge against me, you still have to kneel before me!"

"You are my food, fully digested feces"

"I'm like a pastor, my job is to get you to heaven"

The continuous bursts of blasts allowed the vocals to focus and burst forth, creating an even more explosive stage effect. The flow was also very smooth, and the audience's blood boiled instantly.

"Murder you murder you I am the murderer of your whole family"

“A real real real killer”

Gu Jingyi spoke faster, achieving the best of his ability in terms of listening and rhythm.

"Father, listen to my confession, but I can't feel better"

"I'm still gonna win this war, let me hear the praise after the victory"

After saying this, he opened his arms, making himself look like a cross and performing a triumphant gesture.

The strong stage charm has led to an increase in barrages of comments.

[Falling in love with rappers is destiny, Gu Jingyi is so handsome]
[A classic slap in the face, though delayed, it will come]
[Laughing. Are you being clever? Please do your homework. Gu Jingyi was a trainee at YG for five years. If Yang Hyun-suk didn't absolutely hate Chinese people, he would have debuted long ago.]
Not only were the comments going crazy, the trainees on the stage were also shouting Gu Jingyi's name with enthusiasm, like believers surrounding a king.

"Gu Jingyi! King!"

"Gu Jingyi! King!"

He turned a "Battle" into a concert.

The cheers were so loud that the stadium was almost blown away.

"Oh Oh Oh, return to my throne"

"To settle your sins"

"Offer your sincere repentance"

After he finished the last sentence, although his expression was still indifferent, no one could ignore his presence. Gu Jingyi was like a true king, accepting everyone's gaze.

Fans thought this was exciting enough, but they didn’t expect that Gu Jingyi would win the “Battle”.

The most powerful shot is when he sits on the throne amid the trainees’ cheers of “Emperor Jing”!
When the program was broadcast, the crew deliberately cut to a close-up of him.

When Gu Jingyi sat down again, a giant wing effect unfolded behind him. A crown also landed on his head.

It may seem a bit awkward at first glance, but it fits the overall storyline.

So tall and handsome!

The comments started to roll quickly, and fans started a flood of comments.

Zhou Jieqiong turned off the barrage, and she rewound the progress bar and watched "The Throne" again.

Watching Gu Jingyi singing Rap passionately on the stage.

She closed her eyes, and the voice she had heard at the door of the emergency passage came back to her mind.

While imagining the beating sound that I have never forgotten.

Unlike Cheng Xiao, she could only get a brief moment of good sleep by deceiving herself in this way.

……

The warm yellow bedside lamp was inexplicably stained with water light, and I don’t know how long it took.

The person under the quilt had all ten toes curled up, a layer of sweat on his forehead, and fine droplets of water wet his hair and stuck to his face.

At this moment, Zhou Jieqiong's face was as red as a peach.

She opened her mouth and breathed in the fresh air, a little hurriedly, as if she had just stepped off the treadmill and then done a set of fat-burning exercises.

The physical exertion is huge.

Today's sensory stimulation seems to be stronger than ever before.

Gu Jingyi's domineering song "The Throne" was still playing, starting from the first sentence and ending with the last sentence.

The next second, it plays again from the beginning and loops.

Zhou Jieqiong paused for a moment and followed Gu Jingyi to say "oh oh oh".

Not only was the show a hit...
