Chapter 116 What they fear is Bai Youlou!
Being petty or not doesn't seem to matter.
After Bai Youlou posted this Weibo, his fans didn’t pay any attention to what he said.
Is this the point?
The point is: after a year, he finally "spoke"!
From this time on, it feels like I gave birth to a child, and when he is one year old, he will call mom and dad.
It's pretty humorous~
Regardless of the content, the fans were completely excited anyway.
Even though Bai Youlou didn't buy any data, the number of likes, comments, and reposts of this Weibo post began to rise at an extremely terrifying rate.
100,000, 200,000, 500,000
The top-tier figure is so terrifying.
What excites fans the most is that Bai Youlou is still actively responding to fans' comments below.
Let’s interact!
Of course, he would not respond to comments like “Brother, I want to have a baby with you”.
Mainly answering some questions from fans, such as what you are busy with recently and what you plan to do next.
It looked just like holding an online press conference.
The active one doesn't look like a real person.
So one fan asked, "Is it the person himself who is replying, or is it the staff who is doing it?"
"As for me, the company currently does not have this position."
A reply from the person himself online once again ignited the enthusiasm of fans.
In fact, most celebrity artists do not use these accounts themselves, especially the more popular ones, who are usually managed by a team behind the scenes.
For example, Lu Wenyuan’s few Weibo posts after he bought the song from Bai Youlou were all sent by team staff.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be willing to interact with Bai Youlou in this way.
Every time the two meet offline, there are signs of a fight. If they were to interact on Weibo, it would seem a little too schizophrenic.
This is a consensus in the entertainment industry, and fans are also good at comforting themselves: Brother is very busy, how can he have time to read so many replies~
It turns out that Bai Youlou is actually a real person?
Front row stickers!
However, after letting fans listen to the new songs, they asked about the name of the album. Bai Youlou was very direct: "I will only sing it once, and never sing it again. I will sell these songs. After selling them, I will no longer be the original singer, I will just sing covers."
Hmm. This sounds weird.
You posted it first, and then you said it was a cover?
Are you using your Weibo account with 40 million followers to advertise and sell songs?
Bai Youlou: When I was young, writing songs was not a big deal, but when I get older, I have to sing with my butt tucked under my belt.
Maybe in the future I will have to organize a concert with Zhang Xiaorong and Long Ziqiang. Now I’m young, and maybe I can sing a few songs with the help of the live atmosphere, but what will I do in the future?
Do whatever you want.
He even wrote "Sing Only Once in This Life".
A man should do what he says and keep his word.
If you say you won’t sing, then you definitely won’t sing in the future!
If you can sell it to other "unlucky guys", then let them hold their butts. If you can't sell it, then that's it.
Just for these few songs, it took him more than two weeks to record them completely. Singing them live?
Might as well just kill him.
However, what is more interesting about this matter is the reaction of people in the circle.
Apart from the carnival of Bai Youlou's own fans, what do serious people in the music industry think of Bai Youlou?
This kid is so crazy!
This is the main understanding.
Even Lao Zhou, who took Long Ziqiang to the Golden Horse Awards, called back because of this matter: "Brother Lou, if you play like this, I think you will offend a lot of people in the music industry. There must be people who don't like you."
"I'm not involved in the music industry either."
The music scene in the Internet era is very different from before. Writing and releasing songs is inherently a self-centered thing. As long as the audience is willing to support you and there are enough people listening to your songs, the suppression in the record era is unlikely to have a particularly big impact.
As long as there are listeners and the songs have a market, you can survive in the music industry.
It is no longer the era when releasing a song would be criticized by peers, or even criticized by the industry by holding a "symposium to boycott online songs".
Bai Youlou is a literary hooligan who is both a troublemaker and a lazy person. On the one hand, he is not afraid of online violence, but on the other hand, sometimes he can't help but want to do something.
To put it bluntly: He is like a ghost. After playing for a while, he will stick his head out to see if anyone is unhappy with him. Come on, confront me! Face me!
What’s the point of fighting among fans? It would be so much more fun if the real people just curse each other!
Many people suddenly "woke up" because of this.
Hey!
My vision was blinded by the halo of Bai Youlou's achievements, and I almost forgot that this guy was a lunatic who dared to sing "Miss Dong" in front of Zhen Dongjun.
To this day, the “vernacular words and expressions” he created are still popular internet memes!
Bai Youlou, who has been "silent" for a while, is using this way to tell everyone: Entertainment industry, your "Emperor" is back!
How to deal with someone who is narrow-minded, arrogant, talented and likes to stir up trouble?
The best way, of course, is to isolate him and have everyone ignore him.
If you leave him jumping around alone, he will naturally become a clown.
Generally speaking, no one pays attention to people who are mentally ill.
But that's just general psychosis.
As for Bai Youlou, his case is more complicated.
Well, something happened that he himself did not expect. There were actually people who supported these songs that he made with such "small intentions".
Less than two hours after the song was released, a big name in the music industry personally came out to "claim" the song "Stars" and even went to Bai Youlou's Weibo to ask how to pay.
To be honest, this made Bai Youlou himself a little confused.
what?
No.
Are you really buying it?!
I checked the Internet for information about this singer named Ming Jichang. Well, he is indeed a big star. He debuted very early and was a household name more than ten years ago. He is famous for his proficiency in various high notes. Although he is not as popular now as before, he is still a professor at a music conservatory and has a good status in the circle. He is a senior with both strength and status.
Of course, these are not very important.
What’s important is that this big brother is the first official guest announced for the variety show “Singer”.
In other words, he will soon be recording the same program with Zhang Xiaorong.
Should he be considered an opponent?
bad!
He is helping the enemy Zhang Xiaorong!
However, Ming Jichang was just the beginning. With this big star taking the lead, a number of other singers followed suit.
Of course, I haven't directly claimed it yet. I'm mainly expressing my admiration for how difficult Bai Youlou's songs are.
Everyone knows that some songs just can't be sung, and if you buy them to show off but end up not being able to sing them you'll just be ridiculed.
However, that night, the song "Never Left" was also "claimed" by someone.
The people who bought this time obviously did not have the confidence of Ming Jichang, the powerful predecessor. At least they said "give it a try".
But this guy is also one of Bai Youlou’s “acquaintances”, he is the main guest mentor Yu Zhan when he participated in "Tomorrow’s Star Show" before.
To be honest, after being "claimed" once again, Bai Youlou's bad premonition was already obvious.
check!
Hey!
Another one who participated in the variety show "Singer".
Before he could react, "The Hard-to-Recite Sutra" was gone too. He was a veteran singer from Hong Kong.
Without any surprises, this big brother came to the mainland to participate in a variety show. Which variety show?
"singer".
"Brother Lou, that's not right! Why do I feel like you're helping the enemy? These are all Teacher Zhang's opponents when he comes back to the show. Are these people buying your songs to deal with Teacher Zhang?"
"She's just the runner-up of The Voice. Are these people crazy enough to target her like this?"
Lao Zhou also found it outrageous. Yes, Zhang Xiaorong’s experience couldn’t be any less. How could this bunch of successful seniors in the circle have so much free time that they have to “purchase” from Bai Youlou just to deal with her?
Wrong!
It’s because Zhang Xiaorong has too little experience!
Instead, it makes people more fearful!
They are all seniors and were very successful in the music industry. How could they put their faces aside if they lost to Zhang Xiaorong on stage?
It can be said that when the Mango TV program team informed other guests that Zhang Xiaorong would participate as the last piece of the puzzle, some people may not have known her yet and thought she was just a new generation female singer who was most likely here to be cannon fodder.
But some people immediately became alert!
These people are all very sensitive to the Internet.
Is it Zhang Xiaorong that they are afraid of?
A newcomer with an excellent voice is not that dangerous. What they are afraid of is Bai Youlou!
God knows how much inventory this guy has. Apart from the "silent" time, he just releases the songs he has one after another as if they were free.
During the period of "The Voice of China", how many songs by Bai Youlou became trending searches?
Although it is unlikely that Zhang Xiaorong will replicate the situation on the "Voice of China" stage, after all, the stage for professional singers does not have so many small chickens and dogs for her to sweep through, and each of them has some skills.
But the uncertainty factor of Bai Youlou makes people feel uneasy.
Because this time "Singer" has undergone a reform.
This program used to have a rule: you could only sing your own songs during your first performance and in the finals; at other times you could only choose to cover other people's songs.
The rules are still the same this time, but there is one more thing: you can sing new songs!
To be honest, if the program team had not come out with the rules long ago, and "The Peak Night" had not even started at that time, everyone would have doubted whether this damn clause was tailor-made for Zhang Xiaorong.
The original intention of the program team is actually to allow everyone to use the program platform to promote new songs, which can be regarded as a benefit for the participating singers.
As a result, this extra thing now looks just like the "Zhang Xiaorong Clause".
New songs? I'm afraid we won't give you new songs for every song!
Let’s not talk about whether Zhang Xiaorong will be excluded when recording the show, after all, the recording has not started yet.
But my vigilance suddenly came up.
What to do?
It just so happens that Bai Youlou is selling things on the Internet, so let’s learn from the foreigners and defeat them!
Then there comes the problem for Bai Youlou.
To sell or not?
"Of course you can sell it! If someone wants to buy it, why wouldn't you sell it?" Zhang Xiaorong gave an affirmative answer.
Bai Youlou scratched his head, "What if they use the song against you?"
"I have yours too and only the seventh place will be eliminated, and there will be a resurrection match."
It can be seen that Zhang Xiaorong couldn't bear to see Bai Youlou not making money and was trying to be petty, so she was keeping an eye on him to "ship".
"I've made a few million more. I have to get my driver's license quickly. Then I can take you for a ride in my sports car~"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaorong showed a helpless expression on her face, "Don't drive fast. It's very dangerous."
"I drive a sports car to look cool. I never race."
“Sports cars are expensive.”
"Then I'll urge the Americans to transfer the money quickly!"
Forget it~ Regarding Bai Youlou's behavior of spending money without any restraint, Zhang Xiaorong said that she didn't want to keep nagging him like an old mother, what if he got annoyed?
But for now, although Bai Youlou likes to buy things indiscriminately and spend money recklessly, his money does not seem to be decreasing.
On the contrary, there seem to be more and more of them.
Obviously, the speed of spending money cannot keep up with the speed of making money.
But Zhang Xiaorong thinks that people should have a sense of crisis and save more money.
The spending part passed quickly. After Bai Youlou "delivered the goods", he squinted his eyes to study the guest list for the show "Singer".
There are indeed many experts here!
Thinking about the songs that Zhang Xiaorong prepared, he suddenly felt that they were a little unsafe, "No, I have to prepare something really good for you!"
Zhang Xiaorong blinked. "Didn't you tell me before that I should just sing for fun? Don't worry too much about winning or losing."
That's advance consolation, dear.
Bai Youlou waved his hand, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. These old men clearly want to increase your strength."
It’s just about increasing the intensity!
Not only will Zhang Xiaorong use her ultimate move that she didn’t use in “The Voice of China” this time, Bai Youlou will also give her a super enhanced version!
However, just when Bai Youlou was about to break his moral code and do something ruthless for Zhang Xiaorong, Zhang Xiaorong, who was helping him reply to fans' messages on her phone, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Your other two songs have also been claimed by others."
"what?"
Is the efficiency of selling songs on Weibo so terrifying?
So will he be able to sell everything on Weibo in the future?
However, what Bai Youlou didn't expect was Lu Wenyuan. Lu Wenyuan, this kid was still "a thief with evil intentions"!
Lu Wenyuan, who had been scared off by the song "Moonlight" before, actually rose to the challenge this time and bought the song "Moonlight".
The Weibo post he “claimed” is also quite interesting:
"I failed to succeed in my last challenge to sing this song, but I won't give up. I must sing this song well, blah blah blah."
Very inspiring and exciting.
His fans howled.
"Brother, you're awesome! Come on! You can do it!"
"The song 'Moonlight' is really difficult. It's definitely the most difficult song in Bai Youlou's album, right? You are worthy of it. Keep it up!"
"I was wondering what song stumped Brother Yuan, it turned out to be so exaggerated. Face the challenge head on, challenge yourself, you are the best."
"Never give up, that's Brother Yuan's motto!"
"."
The Weibo post was not posted by Lu Wenyuan himself, but buying the song "Moonlight" was indeed Lu Wenyuan's idea.
He just couldn't stand the stimulation!
Although this bastard Bai Youlou only had five songs in his album, he always felt like he was being mocked.
Subconsciously, I decided that I must not let anyone else buy the song "Moonlight".
If someone else bought it and sang it well, he would lose face!
Whenever this song appears in the future, there will be comments like “Lu Wenyuan can’t sing it”.
No, he has to do everything himself!
Even if I have to stay in the studio and record it word by word, I have to record this song well!
Moreover, Bai Youlou has already set an example for him. If this still doesn't work, he himself won't be able to get over it.
In short, the main theme is stubbornness.
In this regard, Bai Youlou's comment was: You'd better not hold a concert in the future, otherwise I will go to support you and will order this song when I do!
It's so pitiful that she has to sing with her butt tucked in at such a young age~
However, Lu Wenyuan is not the most explosive one.
Bai Youlou was totally surprised that someone would buy the song "Tentative".
This song is basically not sung by a human.
If he were to perform it a few more times, I guess each time would be different, and it would be a "new song" every time.
So the question is, what kind of person would buy "Tante"?
There is only one answer: the flatterer.
“Uh-huh ah-oh ~ Uh-huh ah-oh ~ Oh, this song is so interesting!”
A vlog from An Lu Ning.
This girl is still in Yunnan. You can tell from the background of her vlog that it was recorded in a hotel.
She was very brave and challenged herself to sing the song "Tentative" a cappella. Of course, her singing was a mess, but she was very happy.
The only motivation for this girl to buy this song is to show support for Bai Youlou.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
An Lu Ning became anxious when he saw that several other songs had been "claimed" one by one, leaving only this one unpurchased.
How can it not be sold out?
No one bought it, right? She bought it!
Sister Hong can't stop this kind of "impulsive consumption".
My dear, you haven’t even finished recording those two “children’s songs”, why are you already eyeing this kind of “divine song”?
But An Lu Ning has one advantage, that is, she is really not stage-frightened and has no burden at all.
When others buy songs from Bai Youlou, they have to go to the studio to prepare carefully and record the songs in the best condition, or practice hard in private.
This girl started singing while recording the video~
Even the microphone was replaced by a mineral water bottle.
And her fans are really "indulgent" enough.
"Lulu, you're going to challenge yourself in a field you're not good at? You didn't buy this song just because you thought it was fun, did you?"
"Cute! Even though the singing is weird, it doesn't feel out of place~"
"Lu Bao is so cute! Bai Youlou's original version made me confused, but Lu Bao's version made me happy."
"My sweetheart, happy fruit! I'm going to order this song at the next fan meeting. Insidious.JPG."
"I let myself go today. Sister Hong's helpless expression made me so happy."
