Chapter 255
When Zhang Yifan's song "Man" just topped the new song chart, his fans on Weibo were still cheering.
Regarding "Little Apple" released by Huahai Entertainment's "Pants Brothers", no one thought of comparing the two songs together.
After all, Zhang Yifan is a top celebrity, and the Pants Brothers are a group of middle-aged and outdated singers. Their celebrity status is not on the same level at all.
However, things turned out to be so embarrassing.
The new song of my idol who "burns everything and is born extraordinary" is actually overshadowed by an unknown fifth-tier singer. How can you bear this?
As a result, the "Yifan Army" quickly mobilized and launched a vigorous campaign to "take back the top spot on the new song chart for "Man".
Zhang Yifan's team was also extremely annoyed that the song "Man" was not included in the new song charts.
This song is Zhang Yifan's carefully prepared new song after "Ran" which just won the [Song of the Year Award].
Zhang Yifan's team also carefully selected the time to release songs for "A Man". They specially investigated that there are no plans for singers of the level of kings and queens to release songs in the near future.
According to Zhang Yifan's team's plan, the new song chart will dominate for a period of time, and after a while, it will win a few awards, popularity, honors will be there, endorsement prices, acting remuneration, etc., the money is not rolling in yet.
Unexpectedly, the song "Little Apple", which sounded like a joke, came out and caught the team off guard.
Therefore, Zhang Yifan's team was certainly happy to see the success of the fan-initiated campaign to "take back the top spot on the new song chart" and even quietly added fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Therefore, in the "Yifanbufan" fan group, some "professionals" summarized how to effectively help the song "Man" improve its ranking.
1. Increase the playback volume. It is best to loop the playback all day long. If you find it too noisy, just turn your phone on mute;
Second, the number of listening sessions is very important, but the Penguin Music account is bound to an ID number. You can use your family member’s ID card to register an account, and then play in a loop as above...
three....
After being guided by "professionals", Zhang Yifan's fans performed the operation as fiercely as a tiger.
As a result, when they saw the updated list the next day, all the fans were dumbfounded.
The top two spots on the new song list have not changed at all, with "Little Apple" firmly sitting at the top.
On several other small lists such as "Listen to Songs and Recognize Music", "Little Apple" even topped the list one after another.
The embarrassing fact is that Zhang Yifan has more than 100 million fans on Weibo. I don’t know how much water there is, but no matter how much he jumps around, his popularity is not as high as that of Benyin’s vast number of users.
The main difference between the two songs "Macho Man" and "Little Apple" is that the former is a song by brainless fans purely to support their idols.
The latter is different. Users who listen to "Little Apple" start from the song itself and are attracted by its happy lyrics, melody and brainwashing dance. A large part of the audience is not Ye Zhiqiu's fans.
It can only be said that the deliberate efforts of some groups to brush up the rankings cannot compare to the real choices of the broad masses of people.
Zhang Yifan’s team behind the scenes was also panicked. They really couldn’t beat him!
The old rule is, if you can't defeat it, then discredit it.
The criticism of the lyrics of "Little Apple" as being nutritious and vulgar began.
On the surface, it is a confrontation between Zhang Yifan and the Pants Brothers. In fact, everyone knows that it is a distanced duel between the top Zhang Yifan and the talented creator Ye Zhiqiu.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu was not interested in paying attention to any of these things except updating "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and his undergraduate thesis.
The person involved, Ye Zhiqiu, ignored him. Entertainment reporters who were worried about the world being in chaos and wanted to make big news would not let him go so easily.
...
Shangjing City, Shangjing International Airport.
Ye Zhiqiu and Song Mei, who were dressed low-key, and a team member walked out of the station.
I came to Beijing this time because I took over the composition of the theme song for "The Dynasty of the Han Dynasty" in "Longing for Life".
The conditions have been negotiated and during the contract signing process, the crew of "The Han Dynasty" warmly invited Ye Zhiqiu to attend in person.
Round-trip air tickets, hotels, etc. are all-inclusive, all of the highest standards and full of sincerity.
"The Han Dynasty" is a large-scale TV series that is currently being produced. It has many national first-class actors and other veteran actors and actresses. They attach great importance to this theme song. The director team hopes to personally communicate with Ye Zhiqiu about the creation of this song.
I had this idea, so I decided to take this trip.
After the album "The Wind Rises" won the diamond record, Huahai Entertainment is currently preparing to hold Yu Caiwei's first solo concert tour, and the preliminary work is currently in full swing.
As for Ye Zhiqiu, the negotiations to participate in the "Singer" variety show also have some clues.
As the largest transportation hub in the country, Shanghai Beijing International Airport has celebrities and artists appearing almost every day, and entertainment reporters have been stationed there for a long time.
Ye Zhiqiu is wearing a peaked cap and simple casual clothes. From a distance, he looks like a sunny and handsome college student. He is inconspicuous among the crowds at Beijing International Airport.
The key is that there are only three people in their group, and the group is too small. They don't go out with more than a dozen people like other celebrities, so they escape the attention of most entertainment reporters.
But when he was about to leave the station, he was spotted by a few sharp-eyed reporters.
"Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, as a creator, what do you think of the online criticism of "Little Apple"?"
""Little Apple" beat "Macho Man" to become the number one new song chart, but some music critics said that the lyrics of "Little Apple" are vulgar and non-nutritious. What do you think about this?"
When Ye Zhiqiu and others reacted, the road had been blocked, the recording pen was stretched out in front of them, and a small camera was pointed at Ye Zhiqiu.
Song Mei was no longer surprised by this kind of scene and was about to tell Ye Zhiqiu to ignore it.
Ye Zhiqiu was not interested in answering it at first, but when he heard the last question, he was stunned and blurted it out.
"'Macho'? Whose song?"
The entertainment reporter who asked the question looked happy. He didn't really have high hopes that Ye Zhiqiu would answer.
They don't dare to block people at Beijing International Airport. If they deliberately cause congestion and affect public order, they will be pulled into a conversation by the airport police.
"Zhang Yifan's new song! It was released one day earlier than "Little Apple"! It is currently ranked second on the new song list!"
Zhang Yifan?
The name seems to have some impression, I must have heard it somewhere, but Ye Zhiqiu's focus is not here.
The song title "Man" is more familiar. There were several good songs with the same name in his previous life, so he was a little curious about this song by Zhang Yifan.
The reporter couldn't help it anymore and asked again: "Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, what do you think about the fact that the outside world thinks that the lyrics of "Little Apple" are not nutritious and are far worse than "Man"?"
At this time, Song Mei's face was already a little unhappy.
These reporters had no intention of doing a good interview, and all their questions were aimed at provoking a fight.
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What kind of song is "A Man"? Can you play it and listen to it?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Several reporters nodded repeatedly, took out their mobile phones, opened Penguin Music, and directly clicked on the chorus to play.
A strong rhythm accompaniment, accompanied by rap-style singing.
'I am a man and want to be your oppa~!'
'Kiss you on the cheek and call you directly~!'
Chapter completed!
