After the performance of "Dong Feng Po" ended, almost all the audience members couldn't help but stand up.
The same applies to the judges.
Even among Jay Chou's songs, this one is a rare masterpiece of lyrics and music, especially in today's Chinese music scene, where it can be considered a legendary work.
Even the director of the filming felt that the stage he created was not worthy of such a good song.
It's not that the director is being self-deprecating; it's just that this is what he thinks.
This song is truly a classic.
However, considering the current music scene, he couldn't help but feel regretful that although the song was a classic, it was born at the wrong time.
If this song had been sung by everyone twenty years earlier, when everyone's attention was on television, it would definitely have been a nationwide hit.
However, nowadays, the vast majority of men are addicted to video games, and most women prefer videos or other forms of entertainment. Their acceptance of popular music has become very low.
Many people might not mind not listening to music for ten days or half a month.
Although the revenue of pop music is increasing, the influence of singers is declining.
The director felt that Gu Yu was born at the wrong time.
Even so, he still believes that he may be witnessing the rise of a superstar of an era.
He wasn't the only one who thought so; almost everyone thought so.
They started cheering for Gu Yu.
Even the trainees who should have been most jealous of Gu Yu now showed no jealousy, but rather admiration.
A person's talent is their most formidable asset.
What good is jealousy in this situation?
When one person is jealous of another, it's because that person feels they are not that much different from the other.
But now, the gap that Gu Yu has created is too large.
So the trainees started to relax and weren't jealous.
At this time, the production team had no intention of sensationalizing the love-hate relationship between Gu Yu and Xia Muge.
Generally speaking, the relationship between the second-place and first-place players is the most intense.
But at this point, they realized that all they needed to do was photograph the first place winner.
Therefore, although Xia Muge, who came in second place, gained attention, the amount of attention was somewhat embarrassing, even for Wang Feifei, who was with Xia Muge.
After the filming of this episode ended, Xia Muge naturally came in second again.
It's not that he's too weak, but that Gu Yu is too strong.
Xia Muge, who had returned to the company, received a message from Wang Feifei.
"I have something to tell you privately."
"Come to my office."
Xia Muge thought for a moment, then went over.
As he left, a hint of worry appeared in Zhao Sichun's eyes.
"Try to control your temper a little, or your agent will probably make some demands on you this time."
It's clear that Zhao Sichun actually understands Wang Feifei.
Xia Muge smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can control myself."
He is no longer the cannon fodder he once was.
He knew perfectly well what he should do.
Xia Muge arrived at Wang Feifei's office.
As a shareholder and top agent of Huayu, she naturally has her own office.
She once brought a lot of profits to Huayu, but later, because the artists under her management were exploited too much, they all terminated their contracts.
People in the industry say that Wang Feifei has a keen eye for talent, but unfortunately she is short-sighted and exploitative.
After all, an artist's career lifespan is only so long; how can there be profit if you don't exploit every resource?
Theoretically speaking, Xia Muge should be her next target for exploitation.
But that's just theoretical.
After all, Gu Yu is currently very popular, while Xia Muge's account, although it has several female fans, has very little traffic and exposure related to him.
Although his dance spread among fans, it didn't break into the mainstream.
If idols don't break out of their niche, they'll easily gain a wave of fans and then be eliminated.
No matter how good-looking you are, it's useless.
Fans' obsession with idols is essentially an obsession with a halo and a sex doll covered by that halo.
Wang Feifei looked at Xia Muge in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "You're really unlucky."
“I found you a few endorsements, but they were rejected because the show didn’t generate enough buzz. After the show ends, I’ll have you try out a few web dramas. If you can make it big in a web drama, that might be good too. As for singing, forget it.”
It must be admitted that Wang Feifei is still doing her best for Xia Muge.
Xia Muge said, "I understand."
"But before that, we can't give up on the show's popularity. Right now, all the attention is on Gu Yu, so I hope you can take the initiative to promote it."
"No matter what method you use, whether it's forced binding or something else, the best approach is to use homoeroticism to create a bond."
"Your achievements speak for themselves; if you try to leverage this level, it will be easy for you to stand out."
Wang Feifei offered Xia Muge professional advice.
Although this might be hard for Xia Muge to accept, we are now in the era of traffic economy.
This era does not allow anyone to achieve great things late in life.
The desire to become famous early corresponds to the high investment and high return demands of capital. Conversely, someone who doesn't initially gain fame will be quickly and swiftly discarded.
It's too difficult to become famous in your thirties or forties.
Therefore, a person must be fast.
Only by moving quickly and demonstrating the potential for high returns can capital be persuaded to invest.
Initially, Huayu supported Xia Muge because of Xia Muge's face.
However, today's economy is an attention economy, and the entertainment industry cannot allow multiple kings to exist at the same time, so he inevitably lost the public's attention.
So, let Xia Muge piggyback on this and create hype.
Whether it's wheat bran or an unwilling opponent.
Even if someone goes crazy and compares it to the relationship between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," revealing the helplessness of "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?", as long as Gu Yu is involved, there will be attention.
To be honest, Wang Feifei's reminder was relatively slow; some trainees had already started hyping up his brotherly relationship with Gu Yu.
Xia Muge frowned.
Given his personality, he naturally wouldn't want to promote this relationship.
He doesn't actually make a living from the entertainment industry.
After all, he also has superpowers and many strange abilities.
While this ability cannot be used to attack the protagonist, it doesn't mean it can't be used for other purposes.
However, when facing Wang Feifei, he thought for a moment and then said, "I understand."
"I won't supervise you anymore. If you don't take this kind of thing seriously, there's nothing I can do. After all, your future is your own."
Wang Feifei didn't leave Xia Muge with too much psychological trauma.
However, she believed that Xia Muge would make the right choice.
Xia Muge could only give a wry smile and say, "I understand."
