They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Does this mean that Leng Yan's musical talent surpasses that of Orange Jam in this Eight-Point Burger?!

Many people simply enjoy watching videos and aren't particularly interested in these kinds of competitions. Usually, only the most dedicated fans of the content creators will actually spend time and effort campaigning for votes.

But now, everyone has had enough!

　This is like an online poll suddenly starting up to determine your favorite Japanese adult content. You discover that your idol, Kana Momonogi's masterpieces like the "Investigator Series" and "Little High School Girl Succubus," have been overshadowed by the votes of a few borderline dance content creators on Bilibili!

Ah? ? ?

This isn't even a question of who's better or worse, because they're not even in the same league! One is something you have to consider whether it's on your must-see list of Japanese adult films, while the other is just a borderline female anchor wiggling her hips in front of the camera!

Simply comparing them side by side is an extreme insult, a blatant disrespect to all gentlemen, and the darkest day in the entire industry!　

In fact, many netizens had already spoken out in defense of Ju Zi Jiang before this.

Because no matter how you look at it, Orange Jam's renditions of "Lovely Woman" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are far superior to the works of the top two!

Netizens criticized the fans of the two content creators in the relevant comments, accusing them of engaging in fandom activities and soliciting votes, which they deemed completely unfair.

As a result, he was instantly overwhelmed by the other party's spittle:

"What do you mean, 'lower-class man'? Speechless! What makes you think I'm part of the fandom? I only voted for Leng Yan because I thought he sang better!"

"I give up! You male maggots are disgusting! I've listened to Orange Jam's song, and it's indeed good, but can't I say that Brother Leng Yan's level is just higher? What right do you have to impose your will on us?!"

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

However, when Orange Jam created "Nocturne", "Stranded", "Rice Fragrance" and "Confession Balloon" overnight, everyone was furious!

You actually think someone who can effortlessly write a hit song is below two fan-made content creators who only know how to cover songs?!

So, you're admitting you've lost your mind just to chase after celebrities?!

No shame!

So, that night, all the netizens who were moved by Orange Jam's music united and came out in full force, not only attacking the fangirls.

They even turned their anger towards Bilibili's official website!

057. Stirred up a hornet's nest.

The next morning, when the content creator Leng Yan woke up in bed and checked her phone, she discovered...

The house was robbed!

His Bilibili comment section is already filled with various rebuttals and attacks against him for promoting fan culture.

Leng Yan was completely bewildered until he saw the trending topic "Orange Jam Four Times in One Night" on Bilibili, and then he understood.

Leng Yan already had many critics, and because of this incident, everyone's cohesion became even stronger, and they all united to condemn him.

Leng Yan was dumbfounded. Where did this "Orange Jam" come from?!

Writing four songs in one night? You can't even live yourself, can't you at least give others a chance to live?!

However, after listening to Ju Zi Jiang's song briefly, Leng Yan also understood one thing:

This guy is a god; I really can't compare to him.

But so what?!

This competition is all about who gets more votes. If you can't get more votes than others, it's because you didn't try hard enough! Whose fault is that?

At this moment, most of those who were insulting him were bringing up the four songs that Orange Jam released last night.

Leng Yan looked at these comments and revealed a disdainful smile.

He already had a strategy to deal with it.

Leng Yan quickly posted a Bilibili update:

"I woke up to find a lot of discordant voices in the comments section. Apparently, many people believe that Orange Jam, the third-place winner of this year's singing competition, proved he was the most deserving of the championship with his four new songs. I listened to those four songs, and they are indeed excellent. However, I must remind everyone that no matter how good those four songs are, this competition only accepts the first two songs released. These four songs cannot be used as references! I hope everyone can be rational. If you can't win, you can't win. Saying too much will only make you lose face!"

Leng Yan first affirmed the excellent quality of Orange Jam's four songs, then abruptly changed the subject, stating that no matter how good the songs were, they had nothing to do with the competition. This strategic retreat left the netizens speechless.

Leng Yan couldn't help but be deeply impressed by her own outstanding logical expression and art of rebuttal.

This is a devastating blow to you all!

However, when netizens saw this post, everyone fell silent.

Everyone used all their words and efforts to use the fact that Ju Zi Jiang could release four original songs in one night to reflect Ju Zi Jiang's level and the quality of the songs submitted for the competition, trying to persuade Leng Yan's fans to cast a fair and just vote.

As a result, Leng Yan, shameless as ever, maliciously distorted everyone's meaning, making it seem like all the things we said were for nothing.

As you can see, this is the first time we've started to act unreasonably; it's not that we're determined to argue!

Leng Yan quickly realized that the comments from netizens were not meant to attack him.

Now is the time.

"What kind of reading comprehension skills do you have? Are we talking about those four songs? Your mother is supporting you through school with a rotten, maggot-infested pig, and this is your level of understanding?"

"You son of a bitch, what are you bastard talking about, you dead sissy, you're dead, I'm your dad!"

"I'll punch you, you stinking bitch, into your rotten cunt, and cleave your sissy's genitals into the East African Rift Valley. Then I'll cut off your head and make it into a chamber pot, and when I go to the toilet at night, I'll kick your dead skull over."

“Every time I curse, I spew out a string of foul language, my eyes filled with disdain and the pride of victory. That’s just how volatile Guo Nan is.”

"......"

Leng Yan is going crazy!

What the hell did we stir up?!

Can't we all sit down and have a proper chat?

No, I can't fight these lunatics on my own!

Leng Yan quickly thought of the current number one vote in this singing competition – Bafenbao.

Presumably, his comment section received the same treatment as his!

Leng Yan immediately went to Bafenbao's Bilibili homepage and saw a new post.

"Regarding the issues raised in the comments section, I think everyone is right. I listened to the song by the uploader Orange Sauce, and to be honest, I have never heard such a beautiful love song before! Orange Sauce is truly amazing, and I am ashamed of myself! The competition format of this event does have problems, and I have already reported it to Bilibili. I hope that the champion can be re-determined."

Leng Yan completely broke down.

Brother, I was ready to fight to the death, how could you surrender first!

Even the one with the most votes, Bafenbao, said so. What he, the second-place winner, said just now was just like a clown!

By the time Leng Yan realized what was happening, it was too late.

In just two hours, Leng Yan lost over 100,000 followers! And she's still losing them!

In this process, he made a fatal mistake—overestimating his fan loyalty.

It's worth noting that "Blue and White Porcelain" had already become a hit song that almost everyone on Bilibili had heard. A considerable number of netizens who are fans of Leng Yan also genuinely like Ju Zi Jiang's songs, but they chose to vote for Leng Yan, whom they have liked for a longer time, when voting.

However, Leng Yan's words just now clearly showed how inferior Bafenbao was.

Many fans were disheartened and, after seeing Leng Yan's clownish face, chose to unfollow her.

Leng Yan was filled with remorse, all because he had offended the internet's King of Hell—Juzi Jiang.

At this moment, Leng Yan was not the only one in a state of utter distress.

Shanghai, Bilibili headquarters.

When the news that Orange Jam had released four hit songs in one night reached the music section editorial department, the entire department was shocked.

Why would someone with such talent not go out and make a name for themselves, but instead stay here as a small-time content creator?!

However, before the editors could even catch their breath, more people were leaving messages on the official forum.

"What folk singing god? Bah! Top 100 YouTube singing god!"

"If you really don't know how to organize a competition, then don't! Choosing a champion based on online traffic and then claiming it's fair and just is just hypocritical!"

"Bilibili? A dissident site!"

"It's all just a game for capitalists in the end! It's ironic that someone like Orange Jam, who earnestly contributes excellent works to everyone, can't win the championship!"

Furthermore, many content creators, regardless of their size, posted videos in the music section to support JuZiJiang and criticize the hypocrisy of the competition!

These comments caused all the editors a huge headache, and they reported the situation to the editor-in-chief, Qinggua.

Cucumber took a deep breath. He actually admired Orange Jam quite a bit, and it was he who made the decision to recommend it on the homepage.

However, with only one day left before the end of the competition, changing the competition rules at the last minute is no small matter!

If we make changes, the company's reputation and authority will be completely destroyed; if we don't, given this trend, it's hard to say whether our parents will even survive!

Therefore, Qinggua decided to report the matter to the editor-in-chief.

The leader's decisions are always wise, and even if they are not, the leader doesn't have to take responsibility.

Soon, the editor-in-chief issued the order—

Under no circumstances can the competition format be changed!

058. You little brat, I've got you figured out!

This news came like a bolt from the blue, deeply shocking every editor present.

What the hell is the difference between this and ordering everyone to collectively tear up their household registration books?!

No, it's the leaders who seem to enjoy watching the drama unfold. It's our music section editorial department that lost both parents!

However, the editor-in-chief's instructions could not be disobeyed under any circumstances.

Moreover, there were no content creators' scandals during this competition. Changing the competition rules half a day before the competition ends would indeed damage the company's reputation, making it much harder for them to pull off any shady dealings in the future.

The editorial department had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

By the afternoon, with no official action in sight, the comments on the official forum intensified and gradually became more friendly:

"Cen Rui, when are you going to (do something)?"

"Uncle, I love money the most!"

"The entire editorial department couldn't find a single mother."

"I don't understand. Isn't the point of a voting system to let the public choose the champion? The public opinion is so clear now, what is the government avoiding?"　

"Let me make this clear: if Orange Jam is really crushed by Eight-Point Fortress and Cold Swallow in the competition, then nobody in the music section should watch anymore, and we'll never support any competitions again! It's just a game of capital!"

The editorial team finally couldn't hold back any longer!

It's a huge loss that a single match could ruin the reputation that everyone has worked so hard to build over the years.

Who exactly is this orange marmalade, and why does it possess such immense power?

If there is anything that can resist the power of capital, it is "public opinion"!

When the truth is obvious, no matter how powerful capital is, trying to distort the truth is going against the will of Heaven.

And Juzi Jiang, a newcomer who just started out, has actually aroused so much public opinion and generated the energy to turn Bilibili upside down!

Everyone turned their attention to the editor-in-chief.

Editor-in-Chief Qinggua had been staring at his computer screen all afternoon, pondering how to respond.

"Teacher Qinggua, have you thought of a solution?"

"Editor-in-chief, everyone is waiting for you to speak! We can't take it anymore!"

"Waaaaah, editor-in-chief, my code has been tested 394 times in the last two hours! I can't take it anymore!"

"I'm just an employee. The company is like my home. It's perfectly acceptable to attack my parents, but it's absolutely unacceptable to attack me."

After much deliberation, Qinggua finally made the decision.

"The competition format remains unchanged, but Orange Jam has been signed to an artist contract worth 500,000 per year."

"So you're signing two people? But Orange Jam only came in third place. Isn't that against the rules?" Zi Cai asked worriedly.

"Given that we can't let Orange Jam win the championship, this is the best way. Five hundred thousand a year, that's on par with the champion, and it's also a recognition of his ability," said Qinggua.

"That depends on whether the higher-ups agree or not, right?"

"We have no choice but to agree! Orange Jam is a rare musical talent. What's the point of holding this competition if we don't sign someone like her?!"

It must be noted that the global entertainment industry is relatively underdeveloped, and everything is still in its infancy. A newcomer contract of 50 yuan per year is already a very good price in the industry.
