Rock and Roll: Glorious Years
46. Entertainment Industry Study Committee Member
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuting exited and clicked back in again. After confirming that the person was correct, her face was filled with ecstatic joy.
Below the diva's comment, various of her fans started creating mischief:
"Sister Chuchu, let's take over this place and have some fun! You're a one-woman band!"
"Yeah, she's incredibly good-looking, sings well, and can even be a personal assistant!"
"Your Majesty, I observe that this young man is handsome and exceptionally talented. He is the only suitable candidate for the throne of our Chu Kingdom. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Shuting couldn't help but laugh: "This generation of netizens is really good at creating funny stories."
Looking at the posting time of this comment, Chen Shuting said with some anticipation, "If this can become a trending topic, then today's results will be a huge leap forward."
At this moment, Ai Hao walked in with Liu Yingying. It just so happened that the marketing department was going to talk to Banshan about the summer activities today, and because of Bian Lang's connection, he came over on his own to congratulate Bian Lang on the success of his new song.
Bian Lang was still on his way back from the radio station when he came to the record store to wait. Of course, he also had the idea of introducing his girlfriend to Chen Shuting.
After they met and introduced themselves, Liu Yingying started to build a relationship with Chen Shuting, while the Little Witch and Ai Hao inquired about Bian Lang's new song ranking on the charts. Upon seeing it, the Little Witch exclaimed again, "Wow! Bian Lang is awesome! He's broken 10 and entered the top 20! It seems the Queen of Pop's support is starting to kick in!"
Because of the agreement signed with Xia Yuxi, Ai Hao scrolled up to check Xia Yuxi's ranking: "Xia Yuxi is fourth, with 21."
Chen Shuting and Liu Yingying turned around at the same time and asked in unison, "How much less than the previous one?"
Liu Yingying reacted quickly, realizing her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and immediately apologized to Chen Shuting. Chen Shuting didn't mind, waving her hand and waiting for Ai Hao to announce the numbers.
When Chen Shuting heard the number was less than 5, she knew what to expect. After checking the new song charts last night, she had a basic idea of what was going on. Xia Yuxi had timed his move perfectly, knowing that no other top-tier singers or singers had released their songs yet. He was confident he could surpass the two young idols ahead of him in third place, but he shouldn't even think about the top two.
Xia Yuxi is indeed a top-tier singer. While the two mentioned earlier aren't absolute superstars, one has a hit drama airing, and the other is currently promoting a romantic relationship with a young actress on a reality show. Xia Yuxi can't ride that wave of popularity. Of course, this is all without considering the quality of the songs.
Although Bian Lang didn't say it, Chen Shuting's goal was to be in the top 10. Based on last month's data, making it into the top 10 would guarantee at least a million downloads by the end of the month. For a newly established small studio like theirs and the Rolling Stones' reputation, this was already a remarkable achievement.
"Yeah, it all depends on his luck. If the third-place player wants to compete and just spills some dirt, he probably won't have a chance of making the top three."
"Let's hope so, who knows if we can actually get a promotional song for free!" Ai Hao laughed.
Chen Shuting shook her head and said, "Have you listened to the song? Is it suitable?"
Ai Hao shook his head: "I haven't heard it yet. Yingying, you should have heard it, right? What did you think?"
Hearing this, Liu Yingying felt a little unhappy, as if her idol was someone they didn't think much of. She wanted to argue back, but was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Chen Shuting, so she could only suppress her anger and reply, "I don't know much about music, so we'll have to rely on Sister Shuting's opinion."
After saying that, she cleverly went to the little witch's side and started a conversation, avoiding the topic.
The little witch was still basking in the euphoria of Bian Lang's soaring song download numbers when someone struck up a conversation with her, and she naturally began to promote him: "You have no idea, Bian Lang is really on fire this time, people are starting to call him the study committee member of the entertainment industry now."
Liu Yingying, unaware of this, asked curiously, "Was it on Weibo?"
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and started checking according to the little witch's instructions. She found the previous celebrity photos that netizens had been making fun of quite amusing, but when she saw Guo Sichu's name, she exclaimed in the same way as the little witch: "OMG! Is this the queen's real name?"
The little witch nodded and said, "Yes! Isn't that amazing!"
Liu Yingying wasn't doubting her own eyes; she was doubting whether she'd entered a fake entertainment industry. Being praised and commented on by a diva was something she never even dared to dream of. Bian Lang, on the other hand, not only had he achieved that, but the diva had openly expressed her envy and a desire to emulate it!
She quickly used her phone to read through the comments under Bian Lang's video. According to her understanding, at least a dozen well-known singers she knew had come forward to watch and learn from it.
As for the real names of those guitarists from certain bands, she didn't know them and couldn't tell if they were real or fake.
Glancing at the little witch's punk-style outfit, Liu Yingying leaned closer and asked, "Beautiful lady, could you please help me verify if these are genuine?"
The little witch leaned over and clicked on the first one, then exclaimed in the same way, covering her mouth in surprise: "Teacher Zhao! This, this..."
"Is this really that amazing?"
Faced with Liu Yingying's persistent questioning, the little witch calmed herself down before replying, "The big shot who participated in the show with Bian Dashen, the most awesome second-generation drummer!"
"What about this one?"
The little witch clicked on another one and glanced at it. Although this one didn't have a verified account and the ID had nothing to do with rock, based on her years of understanding of the rock scene, she nodded and exclaimed again, "Sister Zao! This girl is the pinnacle of beauty in dead metal in China!"
The more they watched, the more confused they became. According to the little witch's assessment, it seemed that almost half of the rock guitarists had come to watch and learn that tapping technique, and one-tenth of the band's lead singers had come to watch and learn how to fly!
There are also drummers who come to learn bass under their real names, bassists who come to learn keyboard under their real names, and keyboardists who come to learn drums under their real names. The main thing is that it's chaotic and lively.
Almost all the rock musicians who participated in the recording of "The Band" appeared, and they all gave a triple tap: like, learn, and share!
Of course, for every person who praises someone, there's someone who criticizes them. The little witch saw a few people who had registered their names to watch the fake videos, and in her memory, these people should be musicians from the Magic Disc series.
Whether it was the company's operation or the musician's personal behavior, she felt that doing so would damage the public's goodwill towards the rock scene.
Rock music has already been relegated to the dustbin of history, and in terms of commercial value, it even ranks after folk music...
With its official status inferior to folk songs and its prestige unable to compete with classical music, rock music is undoubtedly at the very bottom of the social hierarchy in the eyes of the general public today!
The Little Witch believes that all rock musicians should unite now, expand their business first, and then compete internally, instead of squeezing and suppressing each other at this time.
Bian Lang's appearance gave her hope for rock music to return to the mainstream music scene. As a professional who loves rock music, she felt obligated to make her own contribution, which is why she agreed to come to Kunming for dinner without hesitation.
Thinking of this, she checked that Bian Lang didn't have a super topic on Weibo yet, so she immediately started applying. As for needing 9 people to support him, that was no problem for her at all. She didn't even ask the three people in front of her. She posted an update on Bilibili, and it was approved in just a few minutes.
Then she used her account to reply to Bian Lang's video: "Congratulations to Bian Lang on becoming the study committee member of the entertainment industry!" and included the super topic.
As the topic continues to gain popularity, the hashtag #EntertainmentIndustryStudyCommitteeBianLangMakesDivaStudyRealName# has also become a trending topic.
Seeing the buzz, more celebrities started to publicly watch and learn about it, pushing the topic into the top ten of the entertainment charts.
Wu Ya, who had already been used by Bian Lang to gain popularity, felt uneasy after seeing this trending topic. However, after his agent analyzed the pros and cons for him, he came to a realization: "If you're using my popularity, then I'll use it back!" He then decisively took out his phone and watched the video using his real Weibo account.
On his way back from the radio station, Bian Lang scrolled through these comments, muttering to himself, "What have I done to deserve this? I'm actually getting to see these kinds of hilarious comments that only happen in frivolous educational videos! These netizens are truly talented!"
