Chapter 220 Entering Forbes

After one night, "Red Rose" became popular.

The total sales volume on the four major platforms is directly catching up with "Blue Lotus". The classic line in the lyrics, "What you can't get is always in turmoil, and those who are favored are confident" can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and it seems to have become a popular quote, all over the world. brush presence.

There are also people who seriously and enthusiastically analyze and comment on the lyrics of "Red Rose" word by word on blogs, Tieba, Doumiao.com, etc., or compile all kinds of love stories based on the lyrics of "Red Rose".

Among them, the most popular is a short story on Doumiao.com called "Red Rose and Cinnabar Mole".

This novel is written by the well-known female writer "Cinnabar". She wrote it overnight after listening to "Red Rose". It is divided into the red rose and the cinnabar mole.

In the story, cinnabar uses red roses and cinnabar moles as images to create two women with completely different personalities: one is named Zhu Mei, who is hot and thorny; the other is named cinnabar, who is reserved and restrained.

Zhu Sha and a man are lovers, but the man actually likes Zhu Mei. The tangled triangle relationship hits the point of abuse of many literary and artistic men and women. In addition, one of the heroines of the article has the same name as the author Zhu Sha, which has aroused the interest of readers. Curiously guessing, the number of reprints exceeded 12 in half a day, and the number of hits was as high as 157 million, directly topping Dou Miao's most popular article list for a week.

The popularity of the article gave Zhu Sha the idea of ​​changing the short story into a long one. She contacted Ding Ning, hoping to get Ding Ning's authorization.

In fact, copyright issues are easy to circumvent for this kind of adaptation, and there is no problem at all without permission.

Cinnabar can tell, at least it means that she has good personal qualities, plus "Red Rose" and "White Rose", which were originally based on Zhang Ailing's novel "Red Rose and White Rose", and now they have returned from songs to novels. It is a kind of perfection, Ding Ning agreed.

As a reward, he won the right to adapt the MV of "Red Rose and Cinnabar Mole".

However, Ding Ning is not too enthusiastic about filming the MV for the time being.

These days, not many people pay attention to song MVs anymore. The children now know the meaning of AV clearly, but when asked what MV is, many people are confused.

Shooting the MV is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is purely a loss of money to buy a physical record and still lose money. Except for a few top popular stars who can shoot, basically no one touches it.

Before, Ding Ning planned to shoot MVs for several popular songs in "Seed", but since the last filming of "Sweet and Sour", I learned from the director Wang Weidong that if you want to make a finer MV, you need at least 15 yuan to start. It is normal to have millions of special effects, so he put this idea on hold indefinitely.

Just like making a physical record, shooting the MV is just the work of his feelings and psychology. Unfortunately, his feelings can't be eaten as food, and it's a business that pays for his energy when he loses money. Let's wait until he is full to support himself.

It's not just "Red Rose" that is popular, but also himself.

It really is right to be handsome, the piano playing and singing are also impressive, and the hype of withdrawing from the competition and adding double percentage points is even more impressive. As his name is mentioned time and time again by major online entertainment media, and then Coupled with the help of some ground media, his popularity has skyrocketed.

The most intuitive manifestation is that his meager fans finally broke through 25 million on the 1000th. Although he is far behind Ye Dibi, his status as a meager celebrity with tens of millions is already justifiable.

Moreover, his meager amount of attention is still soaring rapidly, with millions of new attention every day, which is better than being on stimulants.

His post.ba also skyrocketed by one-third of the attention overnight, reaching 177 million. Such an attention volume has surpassed many well-known platinum singers, and is already at the level of super second-tier fake first-tier red stars.

Now, Ding Ning finally has the confidence to call himself a star.

At the same time, "Seed" also became popular again.

Most of the recent reports in the media like to regard the two songs named after flowers as "Blue Lotus" and "Red Rose" as his famous songs.

For example, the QE portal, which has a cooperative relationship with the strongest new voice, has been ignoring the pre-sale of "Seed", which sold nearly gold, and ignoring his status as a popular anchor, and blindly publicized that it was the Young Singer Grand Prix that made him popular. It is said that he became popular, since he sang "When You Are Old" in the recommendation group competition, "Blue Lotus" exploded in one fell swoop, and "Red Rose" continued its glory.

However, there are also many media that paid attention to him early, such as Xinchao Entertainment and Yiwang Entertainment, etc., which focused more on "Seed", blowing a wave of "Seed" from various angles, and focusing the public's attention on "Seed". Cited in "Seed".

In such a situation, interested people can see the competition and game among the various websites.

More people only know that this newcomer named "Ding Ning" is very awesome. Everyone is playing in different positions. If you don't pay attention, you will be out. The quality of Ding Ning's songs is also high, and they are worth their money. purchase.

Of course, the four major digital music sales platforms focus more on "Seed", which has potential and is also profitable.

Weige promotes "Seed" and the strongest new voice together, while Suile promotes "Red Rose" and "Seed" side by side. Yiwang directly puts the name of platinum newcomer and popular singer Ding Ning's new album. The name of Ding Ning on the promotional page of "Seed" is particularly large, as if the word "Ding Ning" is regarded as the best advertising tool.

With wave after wave of publicity, on the evening of the 25th, the total sales of "Seed" exceeded 90, only one step away from platinum.

With more than two months left before the end of the year, the youngest platinum singer in China?
The caliber of the media and some public figures became more and more consistent. Even the Guinness Book of Records Committee contacted Ding Ning in advance, hoping to cooperate with him in a joint hype.

However, Ding Ning refused.

He is very clear that this record is not an award that needs to be judged, it is purely based on facts, no matter whether he deserves it or not, as long as his "Seed" reaches platinum sales within the year, the Guinness Book of Records Committee will definitely issue the record certificate in time grant him.

It is enough to speak with facts, there is no need to hype up something with great fanfare, it will only appear that he is eager for quick success.

He believes that at that time, the media will definitely promote him with drums and gongs, and his fans will spread the news everywhere, and that's enough.

Invisible pretentiousness is the most deadly, he just needs to be silent, and the publicity and hype should be handed over to others, this is what a star should have.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who are still doubting that he can become the youngest platinum singer in China, and it is said that he has made his own achievements and sales for no reason, and it can be seen everywhere.

People who pretend to be asleep will never wake up. There are many voices supporting him on the Internet, and there are also many voices opposing criticism and attacking him. He knows that he cannot be recognized by everyone, and Ding Ning will not take some discordant voices to his heart. go.

On the 26th, a congratulatory text message from Du Yun let Ding Ning know the good news: Forbes' annual domestic star list quietly put his name on it.

Although the comprehensive score ranks very low at 959, being able to enter this list shows that his achievements have been recognized by a major authority. This is a great joyous event worth celebrating.

You must know that the major Forbes lists have great authority all over the world, and they are also well-established in China. Although they cannot be regarded as absolute standards of measurement, they are all very valuable and convincing.

The annual star list covering entertainment and sports is recognized as having a high gold content, and the selection criteria are very strict. Popularity, achievements, and influence are all indispensable. Those who can make the list are well-known figures in the industry and outside the industry, and more than 90% of them They are all seniors who have been in their respective fields for many years.

It's unbelievable that he can be among the newcomers after debuting for more than a month.

This year, there is only one star-defying newcomer who has risen to fame in a short period of time and entered the Forbes annual star list in one fell swoop.

That is Ye Di, who became popular with "No Joy, No Love" and ranked 997th, a position that is worthy of entering the list.

For such good news, the first person Ding Ning thought of sharing was Ye Di.

Hey, look, even though my meager attention is not as good as yours, and my name may not be as big as yours, my Forbes ranking is higher than yours.

He learned from Ding Ning that he had also entered the Forbes annual star list. He happily went to the Forbes website to take a look, and found that Ding Ning jumped to the 959th place as soon as he was on the list, which was much higher than her. Ye Di was immediately unhappy, and sent With a crying expression, he replied aggrievedly: "I don't accept it, why are you taller than me, and your meager attention doesn't even reach two-thirds of me."

Of course it was a joke to dissatisfy, she just wanted to take the opportunity to act like a spoiled child.

In fact, she knew very well that after the semi-finals of the Young Singer Contest were broadcast, it was inevitable for Ding Ning to surpass her in all aspects.

The reason why Ding Ning's meager attention is not as high as hers is because she became famous before him and took the lead.

In her opinion, the ranking of 959 was because Ding Ning was a rookie and was at a disadvantage, so she was ranked low. If she were to rank, no matter what, she would have to rank up to 900.

Ding Ning comforted him with a smile: "Hey, when "The Three Heroes" is released, you will definitely be taller than me."

These words are not just consolation, director Li Liang is one of the few major directors in China with international reputation.

His plays follow a unique path of literary and commercial films, neither lacking in connotation nor lacking in box office.

Every work he has shot before has won awards at home and abroad, and has won many stars.

And Ye Di got the role of the leading female "Hong Fu". Although according to the script, this is a romantic drama between men, her heroine is purely embellishment, but after all, every drama is hot before it is released. Produced by the famous Li Liang, after "The Three Heroes", Ye Di's popularity has risen to a higher level, which is completely predictable.

Ye Di replied with a grinning expression: "Well said, go home tonight to receive the reward."

Please don't think about it, under Ding Sicheng's strong supervision, living together is just a dream, but it is indispensable to get tired of being together every day.

Taking advantage of the booming popularity, Ding Ning launched "Coral Sea" with Zhang Xuan on the 26th, and spent a lot of money to buy promotional spots for Suile and Yiting.

Like "Red Rose", "Coral Sea" is also a sadomasochistic love song of high quality.

But compared with "Red Rose", the lyrics of "Coral Sea" are much more straightforward, and the content is closer to the public.

The same is about wishing for something, "Red Rose" is about greed, eating what is in the bowl and thinking about what is in the pot, "Coral Sea" is about extravagant desire, and it is difficult to meet forever.

In reality, after all, there are few winners who can go on and on in life, and most of them are dull crushes or endless bitterness. As soon as "Coral Sea" was released, it immediately took advantage of Ding Ning's high popularity and became popular in one fell swoop.

In particular, the line "Seabirds and fish fall in love is just an accident", which runs through the whole song, directly pokes at the depths of many people's sensitive hearts, leading another wave of popular quotations.

In such a situation, in Ding Ning’s post, a netizen’s sigh was particularly apt: “Damn, why do I feel that the signatures of Moments and Zhiji.com have been arranged by my Ning recently, and it’s not that ‘what I can’t get is a commotion’ , that is, 'seabirds and fish love each other', can you be a little creative."

On the Internet, after "Red Rose", "Coral Sea" set off another wave of sour and artistic waves.

"Red Rose and Cinnabar Mole" with cinnabar became popular first. This time, more people sighed and created stories about "Coral Sea".

On the banyan literature website, an article "The Mermaid in the Coral Sea" took the lead in becoming popular.

Different from "Red Rose and Cinnabar Mole", "The Mermaid in the Coral Sea" is a prose poem. The author "Xiaoyuan" combined the classic fairy tales "The Mermaid" and "The Coral Sea", comparing the prince and princess to seabirds He Yu reproduces the poignant love fairy tale with beautiful words, which has won the resonance of many people.

In just three days, this prose poem was rewarded 4813 times, and it became the most popular short prose of the year on Banyan Literature Network. The previously unknown "Xiaoyuan" immediately became a signed writer of Banyan Literature Network.

But soon the popularity of "The Mermaid in the Coral Sea" was overshadowed by another poem.

The poem is called "The Farthest Distance in the World".

"The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death. It's when I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you."

"The farthest distance in the world is not when I stand in front of you and you don't know I love you. It's when I love you so much that I can't say I love you."

……

"The farthest distance in the world is not that you can't find it in an instant, but that you are destined not to be together before you meet."

"The furthest distance in the world is the distance between a bird and a fish. One soars into the sky, while the other dives deep into the sea."

This is a poem that was once very popular in the world where Ding Ning lived before, and its first line is even more widely circulated.

It is said that this poem was written by Tagore.

In fact, it is not, it originally came from "The Single Bed in the Purse" by the romance writer Zhang Xiaoxian, and then it has been processed and developed by many people, so that there are many versions circulating.

Ding Ning guessed that the reason why it was rumored to be produced by Tagore was probably because it had another name "Flying Birds and Fish", and Tagore happened to have a well-known collection of poems "Flying Birds". Far-fetched on.

This poem was first released in the form of a picture in Zhang Xuan's meager account, and the whole text was handwritten: "A poem just written by Boss Ding, I secretly released it for everyone to see."

Two hours later, Ding Ning forwarded it.

Then, this meager fried.
