Chapter 70
First, let’s talk about the publicity itself.
Generally speaking, when contestants like these who have not debuted are given group covers, they are basically treated equally. After all, no one knows who the final winner will be.
Moreover, compared with the popular artists who have already debuted, the popularity of talent shows is actually still not enough. So the magazine doesn't bother to worry about the details.
At most, the popular contestants can take a few more photos.
Xie Xichao was the one who was accidentally “photographed” a few more times.
There are several sets of pictures, with different expressions and rich content. The similarity is that they are all exquisite and beautiful, different from the usual stage. The fans were screaming below and couldn’t stop pressing the save button.
No one noticed anything at first. After all, Jie Xichao is currently ranked first, so it is reasonable for publicity and promotion to pay attention to him.
Only Ai Qingyuan's fans gritted their teeth and felt their hearts bleeding.
If they work harder, these resources and treatment will belong to them.
But then everyone discovered...
The number of times Xie Xichao was "over-photographed" was really too many.
The official announcements are all in order and time, so it doesn’t seem obvious. But apart from the official promotional photos, behind-the-scenes photos, short video cover photos, and even group photos of contestants posted by staff members’ small accounts, all of them are of Jie Xichao without exception.
That’s not all.
Magazines usually put the promotional content related to the artist being photographed in the current issue at the top.
But this time, the top picture was not the group's sealing announcement picture, but Jie Xichao's solo picture.
As soon as this incident came out, public opinion finally became alert.
All new comments under the pinned Weibo post are discussing this pinned post.
"?! Did I see it right? It's pinned?"
"Oh my god, they pinned a single person to the top. Are the magazine too doting on us? 2333"
"Brother, are you mistaken? You took a group photo of five people???"
"Someone broke through the defense. I won't tell you who it was."
“There’s no rule that a group photo must be pinned… This isn’t a fixed group, so is there anything wrong with pinning the artist being photographed during the photo session?”
"This picture is so beautiful TT, let alone magazines, I've even put it on the front page of my Moments"
"First of all, Chao is currently the number one; secondly, anyone who is not blind can see Chao's expressiveness; finally, Chao is beautiful. Those who are jealous of her pinning her post, go away. Thank you to the magazine for liking our Chao. I hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with us in the future [love]"
The comments became more and more noisy. Ai Qingyuan's fans were just normal people, but after all, they were not the rich and powerful ones, so they couldn't figure out their depth.
When it comes to the fashion circle, they still have some concerns and advised to delete the questioning comments. The rest of them kept quiet and pretended they didn't exist.
Just when everyone thought that the magazine was about to end with another stunning performance by Jie Xichao, photographer Yan Zicheng appeared.
Weibo's 18-grid single-person picture,
Twitter pictures and texts,
And the caption "My Muse" in both Chinese and English.
The bold words, the enthusiastic actions... and the positive attitude did not make a fuss in the industry who are familiar with this man's clear likes and dislikes, but they could not help but take a closer look at the protagonist of this cover.
As for the attention and fans of "Super Rookie"——
As soon as the Weibo post was published, the super topic, the forum and even the entire square were in an uproar.
-
When Yan Zicheng was first discussed, everyone, including Jie Xichao's fans, were actually worried.
Yan Zicheng’s photography is unexpected and bold. From color matching to clothing to body movements, if he fails in any aspect, it is easy to produce some “amazing pictures”.
Of course, they are not worried now.
But even if they were not worried, they never thought that the arrogant Boss Yan would deliberately promote something for Jie Xichao.
Although the magazine they appeared in this time was not a top-notch one, it was a fashion resource that they got with the help of Nebula. For young artists who have just debuted, especially idols, it is already a very, very good opportunity.
As for the photographer, since he was able to take such a good picture, he obviously doesn't hate Jie Xichao, so he has already left a good impression.
——This is what most of Jie Xichao’s fans think.
In fact, because of the platform's long-term suppression and Jie Xichao's own family background and company, those who are involved with Jie Xichao all have a rough expectation in their minds. That is, they obviously don't need to expect the favor of capital.
But most of those who get involved with Jie Xichao are people who don’t care about those things.
If you want to get someone with great resources, don't even mention those outside. In this talent show, there is a fierce competition among big companies. If you want to get one, you should transfer the responsibility long ago.
They are the ones who are truly attracted by the idol’s personal charm.
This is also the basic composition of Jie Xichao’s fan circle.
With such a structure, it is easy for the fan circle to be contented.
For example, this time, the new pictures released by the magazine are enough to make them scream for a while.
When Yan Zicheng posted on Weibo, Jie Xichao's fans were still yelling at him, and they were facing a new picture. Different from the first photo which was in black and white and surrounded by noble and cold style, this photo is a behind-the-scenes photo.
In the picture, Jie Xichao was still wearing the translucent shirt as his inner layer. Perhaps because he felt cold, he put on a thick coat outside. The whole person looked suddenly smaller, and his face looked almost as big as a palm in the picture. He was dazed when he was called to look at the camera.
Fans were so touched by the cuteness of this scene that they asked the station host to tell him to stay warm and not catch a cold, as if the person who was hissing at the shirt just now was someone else.
Then, a new Weibo post popped up.
Hot review first:
-?
Yan Zicheng V:?
Second most popular comment:
-Brother, you are so perverted. I am still a newcomer.
Yan Zicheng V: [shy.jpg]
Yan Zicheng V: I finally got the chance hahaha, luckily I’m a newcomer, if I become famous in the future, maybe I won’t be able to shoot anymore [sad]
Jie Xichao fans:? !
Onlookers:! ! !
Yan Zicheng only replied to two messages and then leisurely went offline, leaving everyone standing there in a mess.
[No, what does Yan Guicai mean by this? Did you take the wrong medicine? ]
[Oh my god, the last time this old dog posted an 18-square-grid photo was by some top-tier celebrity with a godly face, and the caption was very cool. Jie Xichao must have cast a spell on Yan Laogou, hahaha]
[He loves...]
[He really loves it, and he tweeted it, and I feel ecstatic]
[This boy is really good-looking, and has a great sense of camera. If he wasn’t said to be an idol, I would have thought he was a new star in the film industry. Are your idols also so good-looking now? ? ? ]
[Uh, I feel like you guys have all missed the point. Isn't the point that the guy who loves looks at people saying that he finally got the chance, which means he has been wanting to shoot for a long time, and he also said that it will not be his turn to shoot in the future. When has he ever been so humble? Choose one, resource-rich Ziweixing]
[Xie Xichao Resource Cafe is the funniest joke I have heard this year]
[To be honest, Yan Zicheng has a sharp tongue, but his vision is very accurate. Fans of this little brother are in luck, he is going to be a big hit]
The last sentence hits the nail on the head and directly points out the real reason why so many people are paying attention to this matter. Yan Zicheng has high standards and those he likes are not ordinary people.
This time, Xie Xichao's name as Ziwei Star was not only established in the show circle, but also truly expanded to the entire domestic entertainment industry.
All of a sudden, his attention began to surge again.
*
When Xie Xichao's attention began to increase, his own rehabilitation progress was also slowly progressing.
Due to the tight schedule for the third public performance, the contestants who are ranked at the top of each song have basically started practicing the corresponding tracks, and the program team did not really wait for the number of votes, but released the tracks to the trainees in advance.
The relatively high ranking members of the "Clouds in the Palace" group are Qi Hang and Ye Yiyang.
The former is currently concentrating on another song and will not be in this group at that time, so Ye Yiyang will become Li Xichao's practice partner.
At first, Ye Yiyang had some opinions about Jie Xichao.
He is a gentle person by nature, and even if he has something on his mind he won't show it on the surface. On the first day, when Jie Xichao asked him if he wanted to practice together, he declined modestly, but it was because of worry.
He had never seen Jie Xichao dance Chinese dance, nor had he heard that he could do it.
Lenovo's Xie Xichao's reputation has been rising recently, and he always suspects that he is trying to gain fame.
The reason why he practiced with me was that he wanted me to teach him basic movements.
But how can it be so easy to practice basic skills?
It’s not that Ye Yiyang didn’t want to help, but he was also very busy. After he made the excuse that he had something to do, he was still worried that the other party would persist the next day, but the other party understood his intention and never contacted him again.
Thinking that Jie Xichao's theme song had helped a lot of people in the past, Ye Yiyang felt a little regretful.
So he did something that sounded a little perverted.
When he passed by Jie Xichao's practice room, he hid behind the door with a guilty conscience, wanting to see how Jie Xichao was practicing.
No one knows what he saw.
Anyway, when Xie Xichao came out of the practice room at noon, he saw a cooked shrimp.
He seemed to realize something: "Morning?"
"It's getting late." Ye Yiyang was immersed in his own thoughts and said casually, "This...!"
He said: "Good morning, Xichao, hehe."
His ears turned red and he looked very embarrassed.
He waited for Jie Xichao to speak, but Jie Xichao, who had taken the initiative at first, was not so "considerate" this time. So Ye Yiyang held it in for a while, then said hesitantly, "Um... Xichao, I don't have anything to do today."
He paused, trying hard to utter the last words, "Can we practice together?"
Jie Xichao pondered.
In just these few seconds of pause, Ye Yiyang reflected on himself eight hundred times in his mind. Just when he was about to deeply repent for judging others by his own mean character, Jie Xichao smiled and said:
"Okay."
At a certain moment, Ye Yiyang almost felt like he was being saved.
-
Xie Xichao had no other intentions when he invited Ye Yiyang, he was just bored.
But since the other party is unwilling, he won't rush to do it.
However, it was only after practicing together that he discovered that Ye Yiyang was quite hardworking.
He and Qi Hang have exactly the same type. Previously, Jie Xichao was actually more optimistic about Qi Hang than him. Because Qi Hang was a boy's disciple, while Ye Yiyang's basic skills were slightly weaker.
But once I got in touch with him, I realized that Ye Yiyang was not only a latecomer, but also had not been practicing for a long time.
In comparison, he is already considered talented.
Xie Xichao’s idea is that whether or not hard-working people succeed is another matter, but at least they are more worthy of making friends with.
As expected, Ye Yiyang had probably made some assumptions about him before, so he was extra polite to him these past few days. Not only did he often take the initiative to bring him meals, he also helped correct some of his movements.
"You can get hurt easily like this." He said seriously.
Xie Xichao said "hmm" and corrected his actions as he was told.
He previously had a role in a world where he was a dancer and was once very famous, but unfortunately he later injured his leg. When he crossed over to do the mission, his leg was already on the verge of being injured. He just followed the previous training pattern, and it turned out that this was how he injured his leg.
He was relieved to be corrected in time and thanked Ye Yiyang.
Ye Yiyang was a little embarrassed: "...Brother, don't say that, I just happened to know that."
They sat down on the mat to rest.
Ye Yiyang silently turned on his cell phone.
Xie Xichao didn't want to watch it at first, but Ye Yiyang probably felt that he was watching it alone, so he took the initiative to ask, "Xichao, do you want to see the current song selection voting?"
Xie Xichao said: "...Ah."
I don’t know if it’s because he has done good deeds all his life, but whenever he encounters gossip, someone always feeds him with food.
Ye Yiyang showed him the voting page.
Xie Xichao is of course currently the clear number one in "The Palace in the Clouds". The difference in votes has even gotten bigger these days, and they are all votes cast by casual fans who became fans after reading magazines.
Below him is Ye Yiyang.
Xie Xichao took a quick glance at the remaining people and breathed a sigh of relief.
What he is most worried about is not whether he can be C or not, but his teammates.
Chinese style is different from other styles. It cannot be developed in a short period of time by provoking or practicing. He is not a god-trainer.
Fortunately, perhaps because they know the difficulty, the trainees at the top of the list, although not very popular, basically have some skills. This is undoubtedly good news for Jie Xichao.
However, before he returned the phone to Ye Yiyang, he glanced downward out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Yiyang asked, "Brother, are you looking at other groups?"
"Yeah." Xie Xichao came back to his senses.
He just happened to notice that Shi Song was the first in the lyrical vocal group.
It’s okay to talk about this kind of thing with Fu Wenzhe, but Ye Yiyang is not that familiar with it. He returned the phone to Ye Yiyang and said, "It's okay, just taking a look."
Ye Yiyang didn't suspect anything and took the phone back.
These days, Jie Xichao really seemed to be oblivious to what was happening outside in front of him.
*
On the way back, Xie Xichao casually asked Fu Wenzhe about this matter.
Fu Wenze asked: "Exceeded?"
"It may be temporary." He thought for a moment, "But he did fight fiercely. I originally thought Guan Heng would be the first."
Guan Heng dropped to eighth place, but in fact, no one in the dormitory felt it was real.
After all, Sheng Hong is powerful, so it is not impossible for him to produce two. What’s more, Guan Heng had always been in a high position before.
That’s what Fu Wen Ze thought.
He said, "Don't worry, I think he's in a good mood."
"Yeah." Xie Xichao said.
He was not worried, after all, there was no point in worrying about such things.
But he always felt that this trend was not a good thing. He was at his best at the beginning, but then things started to decline. Many of Guan Heng's fans are fans of the strong, so this would be a huge blow to them.
and……
He thought.
Guan Heng’s matter may not have been unaffected by the company.
This matter is actually very simple.
Five debut spots are being scrambled for by major companies. Although the rumor is that Sheng Hong will produce two, but two-fifths is almost half, this data is still somewhat shocking. There is only one possibility to achieve this, that is, the show will fail.
If it becomes unpopular, then the players who have their own fans and are from big companies will have the advantage.
According to Ai Qingyuan's unintentional words, it is highly likely that Ai Qingyuan will exit at C, and then Guan Heng will exit at a low position.
But now there is an outsider like him.
Ai Qingyuan C couldn't come out, and the whole program was affected again. At times like this, the ones who reap the benefits are the new blood, but for people like Guan Heng, the company is too busy to handle it and it is difficult to maintain the enthusiasm.
For this song selection, the company probably has no other plans for the time being except asking Guan Heng not to interfere.
After all, on the other side, Ai Qingyuan and Qiao Ye’s family were still fighting.
Fans can naturally see the company's attitude. Those who are discouraged ran away, and those who haven't run away will obviously feel that hope is slim after such a blow. Not to mention a PK between several companies, they will definitely not be polite in their words.
And, there is another problem.
Those are the CP fans and family fans that Guan Heng originally relied on, some of whom are now saving Ai Qingyuan's votes.
Jie Xichao didn't know whether Sheng Hong wanted Guan Heng or not, but he knew that if he continued like this, Guan Heng's ranking would drop further.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to say that Guan Heng was relaxed.
He sighed secretly in his heart.
On the other hand, fans are also discussing it among themselves.
The president of Guan Heng’s fan club is his old fan, who is experienced and mature.
These days, she has hardly devoted any energy to other things and is completely focused on selecting songs.
Recently, due to Qiao Ye's spam incident, the ranking list stopped voting in the early morning. She was nervous every day on the cut-off day. The atmosphere within the fan club has been very depressed recently, not to mention the scattered fans in the super topic.
The management tried their best to appease them, but on this day, when the list was stolen, a large number of dissatisfactions still appeared in the super topic.
Some questioned the decision of the fan club, some wanted to question the company, and more were confused. Now they can't even vote for the ten contestants who are on the fence, so is there any chance for them to debut?
Within the fan club, there was no way to manage the super topic, so I @ed the management and the president.
—: Sister, what do you say now? Has the company given any comment?
The president of the fan club didn’t know what to reply.
She didn't dare to say anything. The company was trying to appease her, only saying that she should encourage the fans and get a C, but they were unwilling to offer any help.
She took a deep breath.
She suddenly felt genuinely confused.
At this moment, WeChat rang.
She clicked it to see, but just froze in place.
Messages are still being sent in the fan club group, and some people are saying try harder, you’re just one step away. Some people said that the super topic should still control the direction of the public opinion a little bit and not be led astray by those who speak negatively. This statement received a lot of approval. Someone also tagged her to give her advice, "Sister, the new day's leaderboard is coming soon. Should we steal a tower before the leaderboard is closed today? I don't think the difference in votes is that big. I see Zou Yi and his family are also discussing this."
The president was silent for a moment.
:No.
Her fingers were trembling. I made several typos.
But in the end, the line of words was sent out smoothly.
:...The company just told me that Xiaoheng withdrew from the competition.
