Chapter 547: No. 20 on Chart B!
Lin Fan’s two English songs achieved such good results abroad. Apart from his fans, the happiest people were the media and self-media, because they could write various press releases under Lin Fan’s name and get some popularity and traffic.
In fact, at the beginning, people were not very optimistic about Lin Fan going abroad to play charts. Maybe there is a wall between the Chinese music scene and the European and American music scene. Many big names in the Chinese music scene have tried to break through this barrier and shine on the international stage.
However, reality ruthlessly crushed the dreams of these people. They entered the European and American music scene with high spirits, but eventually they all slipped back in disgrace, with the best result they got being a single in the B chart top 100. But they were also worthy of praise from the domestic media, and were praised as the best in the world.
The media also brought up the fact that Lin Fan had previously gone abroad to promote his work, and compared him with this senior. Although the media did not directly point out that Lin Fan was not as good as this senior, the words between the lines still showed a pessimistic attitude.
As a result, after the overseas release of "We Will Rock You", it was listed on the B chart top 100 list within a week. When this news came back to China, not only the media, but also the fans did not dare to believe it! Even the fans of the fan club were so worried that they privately stabbed Wang Lingli and asked her to check with Lin Fan to see if this was fake news.
I hope it’s not that Fan Fan was met with a cold reception abroad and couldn’t accept such a blow, so he asked someone to brush up the charts, right?
This is too arrogant. Why not brush the B chart? If it is found out, everyone on Blue Star will laugh at it! Some fans even shouted: "Come back, Fanfan. We don't want to play with foreigners anymore! We are enough." This shows how shocked everyone is about this result! Then, Earthman Studio generously sent blessings to Lin Fan to prove the truth of this matter: [Earthman Studio: Congratulations to Brother Fan for his first English single "We Will Rock You", which is ranked 20th on the B chart! ]
Now that the studio has made a statement, other media outlets will naturally follow suit, with a flood of press releases filled with praise that almost flooded the entire internet!
Everyone then believed that, ah, Lin Fan really did it!
The fans went crazy instantly.
What’s interesting is that those passers-by who had no feelings towards Lin Fan have also changed their attitudes one after another - mainly because there are some people who always stubbornly believe that those artists praised by fans and songs recommended by netizens are all mindless praises and are all produced by the artist studios with money.
The more you praise him, the more disgusted he will feel, and he may even develop a rebellious mentality: he may have originally been indifferent to this artist and had no opinion on the song, but when too many people praise him, he will have to find fault with it and insist on liking other singers and artists in order to show his differences from others.
This group of people ignored Lin Fan's achievements in China and the talent displayed in his works. However, after seeing Lin Fan go abroad and achieve such results, they abandoned their previous stubbornness and refreshed their understanding of Lin Fan: this person must be quite capable.
Well, this kind of psychology is also very magical.
If the performance of "we will rock you" shocked everyone, then the performance of "Sugar" directly excited the entire Chinese music scene!
"Sugar" was on the list right after it was released. Lin Fan was still catching up on his sleep when he received congratulations from domestic artists. Those who knew him called and sent messages to congratulate him, and those who didn't know him expressed their support on Weibo.
Fans and netizens were even more direct, using the download data of "Sugar" to show their feelings with practical actions. Even those who never listened to Western music, it's not that their aesthetics or listening habits suddenly changed, anyway, they treated the two songs differently.
[A girl who has been poured out is like water that has been married off: Although I don’t understand the English, the melody is still very good and worth listening to. ]
[I’ll kick your 43 face with my 37 foot: I never listened to English songs before Lin Fan, but if it’s Lin Fan’s song, I’ll take it! ]
…
Of course, there are also people who want to find another way and gain popularity from another angle.
A self-media company.
The editor-in-chief rushed to the company early in the morning and arranged for the editor: "Write a press release related to Lin Fan today. Well, let's write about the overseas confession and proposal craze caused by "Sugar"."
The editor was confused: "But wasn't today's manuscript approved yesterday?"
If I start writing now, I will definitely not be able to catch up with the release date.
Besides, the article that was finalized yesterday was a general article bought by other artists in the circle. It was the kind of article that took advantage of Lin Fan's popularity and even deliberately dragged Lin Fan down to elevate its own reputation. The company received money from them.
If this is not delivered on time, will they hold us accountable and ask the company for compensation?
The key point is, if the company shirks its responsibility, will it hold me, the editor, responsible? The editor-in-chief looked at me as if I were an idiot, and seemed too lazy to talk. He directly drove me away from my office, operated the computer for a while, and then stood up: "Take a look yourself. If you have any questions, come to me."
Then, just left!
What can the editor do but watch!
The page that the editor opened was a press release that was urgently sent out by the company's rival in the early hours of this morning. It was obviously also a provocative article, the kind that someone paid for.
The manuscript deliberately overlooked the fact that both of Lin Fan's songs were for the B Chart. The Earthling Studio and Yang Hongxia also focused on the B Chart in their public relations. They simply didn't pay attention to other charts that were not as authoritative or simply not in the mainstream.
But in this press release, it became that Lin Fan's best result was just entering the top 20 of Chart B. Unlike that person, whose new song released topped another chart and whose download data was several times that of Lin Fan, and so on.
The intention to pull down and criticize is very obvious, but there are still many people who believe it.
The fans of the singer who was compared with Lin Fan were extremely excited, thinking that their brother had finally defeated Lin Fan and become the new generation leader of the Chinese music scene.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, in fact, fans themselves know best how inflated this list is and how the data is manipulated, but they turn a blind eye to it.
Then, this press release was discovered by Lin Fan’s fans and posted on the Chaobo topic. In less than an hour, it ranked first in the popularity of the Chaobo topic.
The topic #Lin Fan ranks 20th on the B list, not as good as first on the T list# has become the biggest joke of the year.
As a result, the self-media that published this press release also became a joke, and the number of followers dropped by hundreds of thousands! I can't even cry! This press release was so popular that some people had already taken screenshots as a souvenir, and deleting it was useless.
[You are so blind that you hit my heart: Hahaha! The funniest joke this year! The 20th on the B list is not as good as the first on the T list. I am so amused. I am counting on this joke to get through my severe depression this year! ]
[Spherical shape is also a body shape: I came to see who is the brainless editor who wrote such an article. When I saw it was you, I was relieved. It seems that this article didn't cost much money. The editor didn't even check it and published it directly. ]
…
After reading it, I felt cold sweat all over.
Because the press release in his hand is almost the same as this one in content, except that the list and the names of the protagonists have been slightly changed. If it is released at the normal time, he will be the one who will be laughed at and ridiculed!
That was a close call!
Fortunately, the buyer was unwilling to pay extra for an expedited release, otherwise this matter would be difficult to deal with! The editor wiped off his cold sweat and quickly rewrote the manuscript to deal with it.
In the office, the editor-in-chief was also thinking: In the future, if there are any articles about Lin Fan that provoke war, it is better not to accept them, lest they be slapped in the face as soon as they are published. Now, just watching others - even though it is a competitor who is slapped in the face, I always feel a little pain in my face! (End of this chapter)
