There is a threshold to people's pursuit of entertainment.
Moreover, the so-called threshold is a continuously increasing process.
Take Jay Chou in the entertainment industry as an example. His first and second albums were phenomenal. But were his later albums of lower quality?
It's certainly very high.
However, the subsequent albums didn't have that explosive effect.
Because by then, Jay Chou's fans had become accustomed to the idea that he would definitely release good songs, and their psychological threshold had been raised.
In this situation, the initial impact was naturally diminished.
Similarly, when Gu Yu released "Don't Listen to Slow Songs When You're Sad," it was destined that it wouldn't have as much impact as "Carnival" or "East Wind Breaks."
Although reason tells all the audience that it's impossible for someone to keep writing good songs, when it actually happened in reality, those who followed Gu Yu because of his music naturally felt some regret.
This is the result of Gu Yu's rising threshold for fans.
This song would have been considered quite explosive in the Chinese music scene in the past.
But now it can only be said that it lacks that sense of awe.
After seeing Gu Yu's performance decline, these people will naturally pay attention to other contestants.
Xia Muge, who came in second, naturally became the biggest winner of this round.
Although he is still in second place, the level of discussion surrounding him has begun to rise.
"I am a fan of Xia Muge. All I want to say is that our brother is really hardworking. He is the best dancer, and his choreography skills are amazing. Every dance is very much to his liking."
“I watch him dance several times every time. My brother is getting better and better at dancing.”
After seeing people discussing their idol, Xia Muge's fans started recommending their idol to others.
They felt indignant on behalf of their idol.
They acknowledged that Gu Yu was highly talented.
But they really didn't feel anything for the song.
On the contrary, watching Xia Muge dance is a pleasure, and this is the stage of "The Coming One," a stage for idols to debut. Shouldn't we be watching her dance and her looks? Why do some people want to compare talent?
If you're so talented, you should be on other variety shows.
They felt that Gu Yu was doing it on purpose and were extremely hostile towards him.
However, this was precisely when Gu Yu was at the height of his popularity, and in addition, Xia Muge did not give the fans any so-called brainwashing or anything like that.
To be honest, as long as entertainment companies don't brainwash their fans, the probability of their fans being rational is extremely high.
Seeing a group of people on the internet acting like they're possessed, causing their rivals to despise them, indicates that this group of celebrities is starting to exploit the situation to the fullest extent of their power.
On Earth, many idols undergo 'idolization' before their careers collapse.
After this action, fans started buying products endorsed by their idols.
Things like spilling milk were constantly happening.
Xia Muge naturally wouldn't let her fans be brainwashed right now, so although fans are spontaneously promoting the product, the number is small and it won't cause any resentment.
However, some people still found it offensive.
In Gu Yu's apartment.
Gu Yu slammed the tablet to the ground.
Since becoming famous, he feels as if the whole world is going his way.
But apart from Xia Muge.
"It's him again. His fans are just as annoying as he is."
Gu Yu naturally guessed that his song wouldn't generate as much discussion as his previous one.
However, this does not mean he is willing to see Xia Muge's fans increase as a result.
Although he also admitted that Xia Muge danced very well.
He messaged Xu Yuanyuan: "Xu Yuanyuan, is there any way to suppress Xia Muge?"
Xu Yuanyuan hesitated.
She felt that Gu Yu seemed to have lost his mind when it came to Xia Muge.
After all, the entertainment industry has such a large market, and Xia Muge's face is so outstanding.
As an agent, I should have advised Gu Yu not to act so impulsively.
But now, well, who told her to fall for him?
She said, "I'll try my best."
Gu Yu is no longer the up-and-coming artist he once was.
Although it was just a variety show appearance, it also led to several interviews, and its influence is now vastly different from what it used to be.
In this situation, it's perfectly normal to want to suppress an artist.
But what happens after this artist is suppressed?
If other artists emerge, should they also be suppressed?
The entertainment industry is so big that no one can enjoy stardom all to themselves.
…
…
Xu Yuanyuan still made a move.
Her move wasn't to directly confront Xia Muge, but rather to have someone edit a video of 'Gu Yu winning first place,' then create a medley of songs and buy a trending topic.
As long as this is done, Gu Yu's popularity will remain high, and Xia Muge's exposure will decrease accordingly.
It must be said that what she did was indeed effective.
However, she overlooked one thing: some people, when they become ruthless, can even harm themselves.
Xia Muge directly used a secondary account in Gu Yu's fan group to stir up trouble, and the target of this trouble was himself.
"Sisters, some people say Xia Muge's performance was not bad, can we believe that? Where did this random celebrity come from, trying to piggyback on Gu Yu's fame?"
"What? Is that so?"
"My God, have these people lost their minds?"
"It must have been Huayu who bought the fans. That's all the underhanded tricks a wild company can pull."
Xia Muge's cross-dressing remarks immediately enraged these people.
During this period, he infiltrated this fan group, using his hacking skills to stir up trouble among the people there.
Xia Muge's attempt to set the tone wasn't overly aggressive, as going too far at this time wouldn't be good; it was simply used to belittle the situation.
But this time, he wants to unleash the malice on the internet from these fans.
If nothing unexpected happens, a massive online attack against him will follow.
By then, almost everyone will have seen the brainless side of Gu Yu's fans.
Capitalists love die-hard fans, but die-hard fans are essentially jeopardizing a star's future.
For example, after the news broke that Andy Lau's die-hard fan had committed suicide, Andy Lau's career in mainland China also began to decline sharply.
There are no explicitly defined responsibilities for idols to control their fans in this world, but everyone knows why fans have become like this.
So, he wanted to ruin Gu Yu's public image as much as possible.
Cyberbullying yourself is the best option.
At this moment, he gained attention, while Gu Yu gained both fame and infamy.
Sure enough, he heard the system's voice.
[Ding, the protagonist's public image has declined again, luck -, current luck.]
Xia Muge's eyes narrowed slightly.
It's done!
