Chapter 170 Nice or Bad
And after being played over and over again, which was almost brainwashing, the new song, which was originally unpleasant to the ear, suddenly became nice to the ear.
When walking on the street, he would suddenly hum a few lines for no apparent reason.
When I hear a familiar melody while watching videos, I can't help but stop.
Even on the streets, there were suddenly many more shops playing this song.
When passing by an elementary school, you will see many students making gestures, singing broken lyrics with no melody to distinguish, and imitating the movements in the cross-dressing videos.
Under such overwhelming popularity, fans' judgment of the song suddenly disappeared.
Is this song good or bad?
A few days ago, the fierce criticism of this song by fans and passersby suddenly disappeared. The fans were immersed in the extremely gorgeous visual effects and could not say anything harsh.
Only the ever-increasing rankings on the leaderboard reveal one fact.
"God Said" became a hit.
...doesn't seem happy.
We can still vividly remember the attacks they inflicted on the song on the first day it was released, yet the song is performing so well now.
What is this? Is Lu Yao amazing?
Many people tacitly chose to ignore it.
Lu Yao’s fans immediately stood up.
They compiled the ridicules of this song that they had previously collected from other fans and posted them on major platforms, sincerely inviting all fans to watch.
They are so talented that after producing the performance of "Flowers" that amazed everyone, they continued to improve and wrote the groundbreaking song "God Said".
Who would dare to say that Lu Yao didn't compose the music and dance for "Flowers"? The fact that "God Says" was behind it is enough to prove that Lu Yao had such talent.
Even though Lu Yao was only fifteen years old, even though he had only been learning singing and dancing for a year, there were such talented people in the world.
Haven’t you seen how many talented geniuses throughout history created world-famous works when they were still young and have been passed down to this day?
How can mediocre humans understand them with their narrow minds?
They are not from the same world at all.
The elk have been having a blast these past few days.
Although almost everyone said that "God Said" was unpleasant when it was first released, and they really couldn't say it was good, but out of trust in Lu Yao, they believed that Lu Yao would never write a song so simply.
After the MV and cross-dressing video came out, their trust was realized and they became unprecedentedly excited.
This is Lu Yao, this is their Lu Yao!
Even if everyone is skeptical, Lu Yao can still break everyone's prejudice with his absolute strength.
Just like the journey Lu Yao took.
Seeing how inflated Lu Yao’s fans are, other fans really don’t know what to say.
This time their faces were hit really hard.
How many times has this happened? How many times has this happened? This familiar feeling of being slapped in the face?
They dejectedly deleted all the bad things they had said about God, hid the mockery of Lu Yao on their homepage, and dared not make any more comments about Lu Yao, so they could only focus their discussion on other topics.
[The special effects this time are amazing. Which company did it? ]
[This kind of music video must cost a lot of money, can anyone tell me how much it costs?]
[By the way, when did they record this song and the music video? Looking at the number of special effects in this music video, post-production must have taken a long time. I haven't heard of any new songs before.]
Various topics emerge one after another, and each one has a lot of replies.
The excellent works have attracted back fans who had gradually faded away, and they are following the news of new songs on major platforms.
What’s different from before is that this time, the number of replies to the discussion that mentioned Lu Yao was strangely small.
【This song was written by Lu Yao】

Could it be that the theme of the MV was also thought up by Lu Yao?
After all, this song is only a complete work with the MV. If there is only the song but no MV, the song will sound very ordinary.
[1st floor]
You actually mentioned this name!
【2nd floor】
Although...but...ah...I dare not say more
【3rd floor】
Time will tell, wait.

What are you guys talking about?
The distinctive title made everyone who saw the post tacitly ignore it. The few replies made the post quickly disappear from the homepage. Only when the poster saw the high number of views on the backend page could he be sure that the post was indeed sent and seen by someone, but no one responded.
As to why no one responded, I have no idea.
The promotion of the new song was also very comprehensive. Following the MV and cross-dressing video, bloggers' remake videos and streaming quickly followed. Taking advantage of the popularity, Minghui Entertainment released the behind-the-scenes of the song and MV production, and fans flocked to it. Passers-by who had listened to the song and watched the cross-dressing video these days came across the behind-the-scenes of the production, saw familiar faces, and couldn't help but stop and watch.
The behind-the-scenes production is divided into two parts, one is the recording, and the other is the MV highlights.
When fans clicked on the video, they didn't think anything of it, thinking it was just another diary-like record. But as soon as they clicked on the video, they noticed something was wrong.

The fifth group was very fast this time. They released it so quickly. They finally have some work efficiency.
[1st floor]
Seeing the popularity of "God Says", you can't sit still, right?
【2nd floor】
The new song is really popular. I can’t take it anymore. It’s everywhere these days. I’m sick of listening to it.
【3rd floor】
No, why is the new song so popular? I don’t think it sounds good.

Reply [3rd floor]
The cross-dressing video went viral. Look at how many remakes there are.
[5th floor]
It is really important that short videos are popular. Moreover, short videos are short in nature, and the soundtrack is only a few seconds long, which just fits the style of what God said. Only those small sections are good to listen to. If you don’t listen to the whole song, but only listen to the fragments, it is simply a divine song.

It suddenly occurred to me... Could it be that God was doing it in pieces on purpose?

Was it written deliberately for the purpose of short video dissemination? No way

I think it is very likely... No matter whether this song is good or not, it is true that this song is popular.
And have you all forgotten, this song is just a promotional song for the new album?
As a promotional song, it played its role perfectly.
Does it matter whether it sounds good or not?

Wow... after hearing what you said, it makes a lot of sense to me.
But did Lu Yao take all of this into consideration when he wrote this song? If he wrote this song with all of this in mind, wouldn't he be a bit too good?

So...did that guy really write this song?

Ahhhh, delete it now! Don't post this kind of thing, or the whole post will be reported in the next second.

You guys should go and watch the behind-the-scenes of the production! Oh my god, Lu Yao was directing the whole process
13th Floor
Lu Yao was the director during the recording... Has he become so good now?
14th Floor
While others were recording songs inside, Lu Yao was outside listening with headphones on, and he would stop from time to time to give instructions... Lu Yao is directly the producer, right?

Reply [14th floor]
Yes

Hahahaha who understands, I feel so good

Some people just keep covering their ears and closing their eyes and run forward. Facts speak louder than words. There is nothing much to say.
…

The MV director is also Lu Yao?
50th Floor
Can Lu Yao still be a director?
[51st floor]
Oh my god, Lu Yao, how versatile are you? This is too amazing!

Woo woo woo baby

Was it a completely green screen scene? Everyone was acting to the air? Wow, their acting was pretty good. It didn't look awkward at all. They did those embarrassing, childish actions with a sense of conviction...

"God Said" did not receive rave reviews on the Internet, but it was quite popular. On the day it topped the charts, at the regular meeting, Ding Ling received smiling faces from the leaders for the first time since her debut in the Fifth Group.
"Xiao Ding, this new song is very good. Keep up the good work."
"Was this song written by a member of your group? He has this talent and can develop more in this area in the future."
"By the way, I saw this MV and their acting is pretty good. Are they going to film a drama for the fifth generation too? Keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you guys. If you do a good job this time, maybe you can make a hit drama."
Even He Zheng gave a stiff smile and expressed his concern: "When will the album be released? I think it has been recorded. Please release it soon and don't waste time."
"Right, right." The others nodded immediately, and also expressed their concern for Ding Ling: "You will have to work harder during this period. By the end of the year, you will definitely get a bonus."
Ding Ling smiled silently.
Although the process was completely different from what she had imagined, her career seemed to have reached its peak as she had expected.
After the meeting, Ding Ling came to the practice room.
I opened the door and saw eight figures.
There were three people standing in each corner, and five people standing in a group, chattering and no one knew what they were doing.
She found that from some day on, the relationship between the people under her seemed to have made rapid progress.
Every time I see them, they are always standing together in a group, whispering something.
She once leaned closer to listen, but unfortunately, as soon as she got a little closer, the group would stop very cautiously and stare at her hungrily.
? ?
What does she ask?
Is she some kind of monster?
Wei Gu heard the sound of the door opening and looked back. Seeing that it was Ding Ling, he lowered his head to play with his phone again.
Ding Ling walked over.
Wei Gu is still the best. Now only Wei Gu will react to her appearance.
Xin Yi is simply a replica of Lu Yao, who only knows how to stand in the corner and observe.
She had no idea what the remaining five people were so excited about every day, and she was too lazy to think about it.
I'm tired, so let it be.
But no matter how much fun we have, the work that needs to be done in synchronization still needs to be done in synchronization.
Ding Ling coughed lightly, and after everyone looked over, she said, "How are you guys getting your scripts memorized? Filming starts tomorrow, so remember to go to bed early today."
The self-produced drama that the Fifth Quadrant group has been preparing since their debut is finally about to start filming.
