Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Truly good works are good because many people like them, and even those who don't like them can understand why some people like them...

Even for Yu Wei, only a small portion of his works reach this level; most of his works are liked by those who like them, while those who don't like them are impressed but don't understand them.

Clearly, the song "Bei'er Shuang" fits the latter description better. Some people find it quite amusing, but many netizens find it inexplicable.

What does it mean?
This song is like a spicy snack with an extremely long ingredient list. You know it's not high-quality, has no nutritional value, and is even a bit "vulgar," but its raw and direct stimulation can definitely appeal to many people.

One point that netizens made was correct: this song is indeed suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, after all, it was a program on the Spring Festival Gala that year, and the phrase "five words floated down from the sky" was a key phrase back then.

However, the audience for Da Zhangwei's songs does vary, which Yu Wei can understand.

"It seems like the netizens aren't very satisfied. Will the second song work?"

Qi Luoan was still quite worried about Yu Wei's reputation. In the entertainment industry, the higher the reputation, the lower the expectations, because the higher the position, the higher the requirements.

With Yu Wei's current influence, let alone a mediocre song, even a song scoring 80 points can attract criticism from netizens.

To him, being unsure of whether he was alive or dead was tantamount to being dead...

"do not know."

The seventh match was between local singer Zhang Wei and Xu Gao. Compared to Da Laoshi, Xu Gao's works have a wider audience.

While the two were reviewing the song, the advance team had already listened to the first song, "Bei'er Shuang" (Super Cool). Not many people were completely disgusted with it, since it was a song meant to be entertaining. Most listeners were simply dissatisfied.

After so long without new songs, everyone's appetite has been whetted to the max, and clearly this kind of work can't satisfy their parched hearts.

That's it for the first song. Let's take a look at the second one from afar. Xu Gao's entry has a rather interesting title—"Appreciated by Both the Refined and the Popular."

People's impression of him is still based on his song "Fated Enemy". His martial arts songs are very distinctive. I wonder if he can continue the style this time.

The intro starts without warning, a sound effect with a distinct electronic synthesizer flavor, a cool and somewhat playful "ding-dong" sound that repeats on and on, like some kind of old-fashioned pendulum.

Immediately afterwards, crisp and clean drumbeats joined in, with a clear and powerful rhythm, without any hesitation.

This opening was completely different from the Xu Gao they remembered. There was no familiar pipa or flute intro from his previous ancient-style songs. Instead, it had a fashionable and somewhat bizarre electronic feel.

Are they going to sing another weird song? They've already been hit by the "crazy" feeling of "Bei'er Shuang," they really can't handle another one.

Do you watch every play in its entirety?
Are every day unforgettable?

His voice and singing style haven't changed much, but his pronunciation and tone have an almost indifferent calmness, as if he's stating a statement or asking a question.

The melody of this song is very special. The pitch of the verses is not very high, and even a bit flat, but it has a kind of catchy magic.

Always hoping, always disappointed.
That's just how life is.

The vulgar are fearless, the elegant are frivolous.
"Aren't we all just a stinking carcass?"

The plain lyrics suddenly became playful, and the phrase "fearless in the vulgar, arrogant in the elegant" struck a chord with the listeners without any controversy.

The essence of the entire song seems to be concentrated in this one line.

People are repeatedly pondering these eight words. This is not about life; it is clearly about discussing the present moment, about taste, about standards, and about the thin veil separating different groups of people.

The elegant and the vulgar are so directly and cleverly paired together, without praise or criticism, only observation.

Just now, everyone was discussing this, feeling that the song "Bei'er Shuang" was too cheesy and didn't quite suit Yu Wei's current style.

But to their surprise, the answer was right there in the riddle itself. Yu Wei expressed his views in the second song, which was appreciated by both the refined and the common people.

I don’t know if it’s just everyone’s perception, but after entering the chorus, the melody seems to become a bit lighter and more catchy.

They said, "Quickly write a love song that's both elegant and popular."

It should be vivid and easy to sing.
She can be elegant in the living room and skilled in the kitchen.

Just like the girl I've been looking for.

If what I said before was just speculation, this upbeat lyric is basically an explicit indication that Yu Wei is using this song to express herself.

People's expectations of Yu Wei are indeed too high. This is not a long-term solution. The "they" in this song is an allusion to the netizens' thoughts.

Everyone always expects that every song of his is a masterpiece, suitable for all ages, but how is that possible?
The lyrics need to be vivid and easy to sing along to. Tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it carefully, everyone really thinks that way. They demand high quality and also want it to be a huge hit. Yu Wei's few lines of lyrics seem to have seen through everything, clearly pointing out everyone's thoughts.

He wasn't mocking netizens, nor was he lamenting that his art was too sophisticated for the masses; he simply expressed himself calmly, even with a touch of playfulness.

Was this also part of Yu Wei's plan?
To make this point clear to everyone, he even specially arranged a song that was polarizing the audience at the beginning.

Only in this way can they grasp the truth amidst their grumbling and cursing, which does seem a bit too much to ask of them...

All content creation involves fluctuations in performance; one should not dismiss it outright based on hearsay.

Just as netizens were being enlightened by Yu Wei's lyrics, he was facing questions from Qi Luoan.

"Like the girl you've been looking for?"

Is having her not enough? Do you want to find someone else?

Others may not know, but she does. She doesn't have that ability, you know? Only children want everything. Adults know their bodies can't handle it.

"Look how impatient you are, it's just artistic expression."

Using people as an analogy is simply to vividly illustrate everyone's high expectations; if you can't find a girl, you can't exactly find a man, right...?

The second verse incorporates subtle electronic sound effects in its arrangement, resembling the static noise of an old television or the buzzing sound of signal interference, creating a strong sense of nostalgia and alienation.

"Quickly write a love song that appeals to both refined and popular tastes."

After solving the word puzzles, we still need to compete on the leaderboard.
If all the alleyways and lanes were played
There was even a hint of self-admiration in her demeanor.

The lyrics are more straightforward and full of profound meaning, which fans appreciate. The song is not only popular but also highly artistic, making it a hit everywhere. Does such a song exist?
Everyone could clearly hear Yu Wei's self-deprecation in these few lines. If there really was such a song, who wouldn't want it? Yu Wei himself would want it too.

The idea of ​​appealing to both refined and popular tastes is not only the creator's idea, but also the audience's sentiment. There is no perfect work; each has its own merits.

Although Yu Wei disrupted the previous "Internet idolization" movement, the influence of this concept is difficult to eradicate completely, and people still view him through several layers of filters.

But in this song, they rarely heard Yu Wei's true thoughts.

There is no such thing as a perfect song, and they really can't be too picky. Blindly believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all, and endlessly appreciating songs is worse than having no songs at all.

"Whether it's vulgar or refined, everyone is justifying it with a straight face."

Scenes with dog blood or snow splattered
They all invited me to watch

That's really generous.

This part is a minor climax and an outlet for emotions. The singing finally has some slight fluctuations, like undercurrents beneath a calm sea.

There's no need to take sides between the refined and the popular; everyone is just an observer. These lyrics seem to encourage them to break free from the "either/or" information barrier, which greatly shocked the audience.

Xu Gao's singing was imbued with an "observer's" detachment throughout, but it was precisely this detachment that made the satire and self-reflection in the lyrics all the more powerful.

This song is not only a dialogue with everyone, but also a self-reflection. It is not only a sign of maturity, but also a sign of respect for the audience.

He could have simply told everyone not to be too strict, or quietly taken the initiative to let things settle down.

But Yu Wei didn't do that. Instead, he chose to write a song to talk to everyone, which deeply moved the netizens who heard it.

What else is there to say? Besides Yu Wei, who else spoils their fans like this?

Yu Wei has already played so many songs for them, what more could they ask for? Whether it's highbrow or lowbrow, Yu Wei's songs are just great!
After listening to the song, the initially agitated netizens were calmed down. Yu Wei is right, we should be rational fans.

Yu Wei is on his way to becoming an unprecedented superstar, and as his fans and readers, they can't let him down.

Keep up with Yu Wei's pace!
After reflecting deeply on their behavior during this period, they discussed it and decided to simply control the score.

There hasn't been a tie in "Top Idol" for a long time. If they create a tie this time, let's see how Yu Wei handles it.

As Yu Wei's fans, they need to be rational, but they also need to know how to create interesting content. How can they be Yu Wei's fans if they don't create interesting content?

"Appealing to both refined and popular tastes," that's what you said. (End of Chapter)
