Chapter 12 Unexpected Effects

When Gu Yanqiu appeared on the show, everyone knew that he would definitely be eliminated.

But now that he is really eliminated, people online are still unhappy.

They discussed all kinds of gossip about this stage.

Meanwhile, the song went viral on TikTok.

Netizens added various touching words or pictures, and coupled with this kind of music that is full of emotion and no skills, even the broken notes seem like the finishing touch.

The earliest video I posted received 120,000 likes.

Even music critics began to praise him highly.

Some people in the circle also said: "Gu Yanqiu only rehearsed twice." As soon as this news came out, it was suppressed.

But someone who was once part of the talent show and is now a million-dollar influencer who streams products said in a livestream: "Gu Yanqiu is really good. Everyone in our class knows it. But he doesn't seem to be good at high notes. I don't know why Apple TV tunes the notes so high."

Gu Yanqiu was currently a hot topic, and the internet celebrity's words instantly stirred up another storm.

Previously, everyone thought that Gu Yanqiu taking off his in-ear monitor as soon as he started singing was a stage design, similar to the rock madman Baishan throwing the microphone.

But when everyone heard the words of the millionaire internet celebrity, they realized something was wrong.

They even invented the Gu Yanqiu scholar, who captured the live broadcast screen and watched it frame by frame.

When the music started, Gu Yanqiu had a look of obvious surprise. Then, as if he had thought of something, he took off his headphones and started singing.

Netizens analyzed: "I study micro-expressions. There is only one possibility for his momentary surprise, that is, he did not expect the concert to be like this. The production team gave him a promotion."

"No way. You're talking about conspiracy theories. Be careful that the production team will send you a lawyer's letter."

"The production team can't be playing tricks. It's a live broadcast. If Gu Yanqiu really didn't sing well, it would be a stage accident. What's the production team trying to achieve by inviting him all the way here? If he's a top star, it's fine. But no one would set up a trap for such a small-time star."

"Have you forgotten why Apple TV invited him?"

"you mean?"

There were many different opinions. It completely met the expectations of the program team.

I never thought that Gu Yanqiu would be more discussed than Fu Xue, a big internet celebrity.

The producers are a little regretful. If they had known earlier, they would not have eliminated him so early.

The phone at Gu Yanqiu's company kept ringing.

The male agent was so tired of answering the phone: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, we will be back to the company soon. Yes, yes, Xiao Gu is in good condition now. Yes, don't worry, he will definitely not forget the company's cultivation of him."

The agent hung up the phone, but the joy on his face had not yet faded.

This time, his agent was with him the entire time. When Gu Yanqiu broke his voice during the performance, he was extremely nervous and felt that this time was over.

I never expected that after it came out, the online public opinion would take a 180-degree turn.

This time even the company called.

"The company is going to renew your contract this time. You're really lucky."

He hadn't had a proper job for several years. The company was kind enough not to sign him to a ten- or twenty-year contract.

I thought we'd part ways amicably after this. Who would have thought that appearing on an Apple TV program would change everything?

His agent said, "Thank goodness you held the coffee shop concert. Li Ziyue and Jin Yuchen laughed at you back then, saying you were embarrassing yourself by holding a coffee shop concert. Now they're all fools, aren't they?" If there's no opportunity, create one. He must remember this.

I will also use it when I lead other artists in the future.

Gu Yanqiu said: "It's not because I held the concert that it was successful, but because I have a very powerful fan."

If there were no fan club, his activities wouldn't have made any splash.

"Yeah, yeah." The male agent said, "What were you looking for when you were on stage?" He was extremely nervous at that time and didn't even bother to look at him.

It was only after watching the frame-by-frame gossip posts online that I realized he had looked at a certain spot in the audience many times.

Gu Yanqiu said: "She came to support me." So that song was not only sung for the stage, but also for Chen Duo.

Even though she was just a fangirl, she always said with absolute certainty that he would succeed. He would have 40 million fans and hold massive concerts. She spoke with such conviction, as if she had witnessed such a grand spectacle.

Gu Yanqiu thought that he couldn't let anyone down. The result of singing with his life was that his throat was now burning with pain.

When the only cheering banner in the audience lit up, it seemed as if his heart was also illuminated.

It was a very special feeling.

He opened his WeChat page and said, "Thank you for coming to support me. Thank you for giving me boundless courage."

Chen Duo posted a picture of a striped puppy cheering.

Gu Yanqiu felt warm inside. It turned out Chen Duo also liked striped puppies.

…

At the moment in the company, Li Ziyue was almost mad, and kept saying to her agent: "This is how you do things. Didn't you tell your cousin?"

I thought this concert would just nail him to the pillar of shame, but unexpectedly it actually gave him a boost.

The manager said, "He's tuned up. Who knew he was so good? He can even sing the female version of KEY."

Li Ziyue was furious. He had accompanied the rich woman. But the job didn't get done. Wasn't this just making fun of him?
