Chapter 10-010 Comparison of Chicken Farming
Chapter Ten
Lin Yuan simply copied and pasted Pei Tao's statement, but he didn't expect that the video Pei Tao posted would actually be deleted.
Although Lin Yuan couldn't feel the fierce power of Xie Yu's fans, after he tagged Xie Yu's anti-blacklisting site, several comments appeared in his comment section saying they wanted to work together with him.
Lin Yuan: "..."
It's amazing.
A few minutes later, Xie Yu's fans probably realized that it was Lin Yuan who made the comment. They deleted their messages and then criticized Lin Yuan.
But by this time, comparison videos of Lin Yuan and Xie Yu's respective musical stage performances had already gone viral—
#Xie Yu Lin Yuan#
This term has once again become a trending topic.
"Such an obvious contrast..."
"Although the original video clips were deleted, the clips from 'Yesterday's Stars' are still watchable. One is a live version with insufficient clarity, and the other is a TV series version that has been reshot countless times. But I think that in terms of emotional impact, the latter is probably less than one-tenth of the former."
+1.
Because DA Entertainment has already done a lot of marketing for Xie Yu, as long as you search for keywords such as "musical", "Xie Yu", and "Yesterday's Stars", the first things that pop up are tags like "comparable to professional level", "experts say that losing Xie Yu is a loss to the entire musical theater industry" and "handsome and can sing".
While searching for these tags, netizens also jumped to a comparison of Lin Yuan and Xie Yu's performances on set.
Netizens: "..."
"Seriously...it's so embarrassing I could dig my toes into the ground."
"My main concern is, with this level of skill, who gave him permission to boast like this?"
"When I watched 'Yesterday's Stars', I thought to myself, professional actors are definitely not like this. This actor has no skill at all, but loves to market himself. I really can't do this anymore."
Some netizens have quietly dug up a comparison of Xie Yu's and Lin Yuan's acting skills in "Tomorrow's Star," and the video is still fresh.
It was still quite tragic.
Even a layman can see that Lin Yuan far surpasses Xie Yu in terms of performance commitment, singing skills, and understanding of the character.
The former's performance has a captivating charm.
The original novel of "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" is somewhat well-known. Many netizens are not very interested in musicals, but they know the plot of the original novel. Although they only saw one performance clip, they immediately guessed: "Is this the Monsoon?"
"Wow! It looks incredibly beautiful, it's practically the embodiment of the monsoon!"
"The play 'Tomorrow' has been made into a musical? How come I didn't know? Is it good?"
Xie Yu's fans are currently busy defending her and don't have time to criticize "Tomorrow's Tomorrow," plus the comparison between Xie Yu and Lin Yuan is gaining momentum.
Most audience members who saw the performance live had a positive attitude towards "Tomorrow's Tomorrow".
Xie Yu's fans have been constantly criticizing Lin Yuan while praising Xie Yu's performance in "Yesterday's Stars," which naturally makes viewers who have watched "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" quite unhappy.
Having finally gotten the chance, they naturally wanted to enthusiastically promote "Tomorrow's Tomorrow".
"It's beautiful!!"
You will definitely not be disappointed!
"I couldn't help but cry during the scene where Ji Feng confronts the murderer. When I read the original work, I didn't have any strong feelings about Ji Feng's death. He was just a character created by the author. In my opinion, Ji Feng was just fulfilling his mission. But when I saw the living Ji Feng on the scene, it was hard for me not to feel sad."
"Go see it, and you'll feel the characters come alive."
"I was skeptical at first, but now—it's really good, you have to go watch it!!!"
...
Pei Tao was initially smug, but now he's just furious.
No matter what he posts now, he gets reported. When he tries to explain himself, Xie Yu's fans rush in and start cursing, almost exposing his past.
"He's just a nobody in the musical theater world. He's one of the creators of 'Spring Song,' but who in the 'Spring Song' crew is doing worse than him?"
"It's obvious they've been paid by their rivals to deliberately smear Xie Yu. Xie Yu is so humble, how could he possibly say that his skills are comparable to those of a professional musical actor?"
"Xie Yu just wants to promote the musical theatre industry. His performance in 'Yesterday's Stars' is intended to lower the threshold for musical theatre audiences and generate interest among those who are unfamiliar with it."
"That's how fake haters are. Luckily, we fans aren't blind."
Pei Tao: "..."
The fans' comments already infuriated him, but then... he suddenly received news that the variety show that had intended to invite him had temporarily canceled its collaboration with him.
“Teacher Pei, we have no choice. The audience is very dissatisfied. The production team just released the news, and many viewers have already called to protest, saying that you are not objective and have low professional standards. We should at least listen to the audience’s opinions, right?”
Pei Tao: "..."
He could guess without even thinking that it was Xie Yu's fans who reported it.
What made Pei Tao even more furious was what happened next—
Xie Yu posted a Weibo post specifically addressing this controversy.
Xie Yu: "I have seen all the controversies online. Thank you all for your concern. I would like to clarify that I am not a professionally trained musician. I performed a segment of the musical in 'Yesterday's Stars' because it was required for the filming of the series."
"My performance was very immature and far from professional level. I am clearly aware of this, and I have never made any statements about having a professional level. My performance in 'Yesterday's Stars' was all done with the guidance of my instructors."
“I have never thought of comparing myself with anyone, nor do I want anyone to use my name to attack others. If my performance can make you laugh, I am honored. Here, I hope that ‘Tomorrow’s Tomorrow’ will be a success. Original musicals are not easy to produce, and I hope it will go a long way.”
Xie Yu's elegant and polite wording earned her widespread praise from her fans.
"Little Fish is the embodiment of justice!"
"Xiaoyu never speaks ill of others, except when it comes to Lin Yuan. She has only said harsh words about things related to Lin Yuan, but that was because Lin Yuan went too far."
Pei Tao felt increasingly disheartened the more he looked.
What does Xie Yu mean by this?
It was completed under the guidance of the instructor... Who was the musical director for "Yesterday's Stars"? Wasn't it Pei Tao?
Anyone who uses his name to attack others—who is that "anyone"? Isn't it still him?
Several large pots were viciously dumped on his head, but he couldn't dodge them.
Xie Yu has never publicly claimed that his skill level is comparable to that of a professional.
Just as Pei Tao had predicted, his homepage was instantly flooded with comments as soon as Xie Yu posted on Weibo.
Forget about the thousands of comments and tens of thousands of likes that made him so proud; right now, Pei Tao was even experiencing the feeling of being insulted by tens of thousands of comments from fans.
It has already received over 50,000 likes and is still rising.
He turned off the comments section, but he was receiving abusive private messages.
He turned off private messages, and those fans specifically tagged him and insulted him.
Pei Tao couldn't escape it.
Not only that, because of him, fans even went so far as to give "Spring Song" a low score.
Pei Tao is not as successful as the other main creators of "Song of Spring". However, they had gone through hardships together and helped him after they became famous. This time, he caused damage to the reputation of "Song of Spring". They did not say anything on the surface, but they subtly hinted to him not to get too close to the entertainment industry.
Pei Tao was naturally even more displeased.
Although he spoke out initially to show his presence, did DA Entertainment not step in to support him at all?
Otherwise, how could someone like him, a "musical theater hustler" and "someone riding on the coattails of 'Spring Song'," suddenly catch the attention of Xie Yu's fans and have his popularity soar?
Xie Yu took the heat, and now that things are not going well, he's starting to shift the blame. His attitude has changed too quickly, hasn't it?
He wasn't popular to begin with, and now that Xie Yu has pinned so many accusations on him, it's easy to imagine that finding a job will only become more difficult in the future.
"No wonder Xie Yu's performance in 'Yesterday's Stars' was not well received; it turns out the music direction was inadequate."
Pei Tao was still angry when he suddenly glanced at this trending comment on the hot search, and he was even more speechless—just a short while ago, these fans were praising Xie Yu's performance as divine in his comment section and thanking him for his guidance.
Pei Tao was utterly amazed by their swift and agile movements.
Pei Tao couldn't help but contact DA Entertainment—he helped Xie Yu with marketing, so there should be some tacit understanding between them.
This time, however, DA Entertainment changed its tune: "Teacher Pei, we all know you don't like Lin Yuan, but even if you want to attack Lin Yuan, you shouldn't publicize it like that. Wouldn't that harm Xie Yu?"
"Please be considerate of the fans' feelings, let's talk about it after this storm has passed."
Let's talk nonsense!
He wasn't even familiar with Lin Yuan; wasn't it Xie Yu's agent who hinted at it?
Now the other party won't even acknowledge it, and he's just being scolded like an idiot.
Now, a lot of negative information about Pei Tao has been dug up, such as his paternalistic remarks on the internet, his zero achievements after many years in the industry, and the fact that his number of works is still less than that of Zou He.
Each item was aimed directly at Pei Tao's heart.
...
And so on that day.
While the buzz surrounding #XieYuLinYuan# was still going strong, Pei Tao posted a new Weibo post.
This is still a behind-the-scenes video clip from "Yesterday's Stars".
Netizens initially thought Pei Tao had re-released the original video, but upon clicking it—the video footage was the same as before, but the audio was—
"It sounds awful."
"It sounds awful."
"...So this is the real sound. Was the previous behind-the-scenes footage edited?"
"...It looks like ten screaming chickens are dancing at the same time."
"The 'Tomorrow's Star' program team bears an unshirkable responsibility for Xie Yu's successful debut."
"Couldn't it be that Pei Tao deliberately edited the audio to smear Xie Yu? That would be easy to do, wouldn't it?"
Pei Tao: "Yes, yes, that's right. I put dozens of kettles on set."
The hashtag #Kettle# has thus resurfaced and is trending again.
Hahahaha.
"I've wanted to say this for a long time. In Wink, Xie Yu's voice is also surprisingly unpleasant to listen to."
"Oh my god... this is so awful, help!"
"I dared not listen to the sound a second time. My boss heard me playing the video and said, 'No chickens allowed in the office.' I gave up."
The hashtag #Kettle has evolved into #RaisingChickensInaKettle
The marketing accounts, of course, didn't hold back, comparing Xie Yu's performance (the one involving raising chickens) with Lin Yuan's performance.
"Seriously, Lin Yuan, don't stab the murderer in the back. Can you jump out of the video and stab Xie Yu to shut him up!"
"agree!!!"
"Agree +10086".
"I can't take the sound on the left anymore. I've decided to buy a live ticket for 'Tomorrow' to cleanse my ears."
"I also……"
Subtly, ticket sales for "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" have increased.
Lin Yuan really wanted to add a #Xie Yu Kindness#.
He's such a nice person.
