After this episode of "Come Play" aired, the show's ratings skyrocketed and never came down. Not only on the TV station, but also on Firefly TV's live stream, fans were frantically spamming the chat with comments, and the number of views was soaring.
Even now that "Wings" is firmly established in the top tier, fans still have a somewhat unreliable impression of him—his recent vlog was full of troubles, like being afraid to go to the toilet after listening to ghost stories, or being called a bald master named Lu Daxian… In short, every time fans listen to "Wings" albums, they think this group of people is very high-class, but when they see his daily life, fans are simply baffled.
It can be said that this episode of "Come Play" reinforced the impression of "Wings" in the minds of fans.
It's...unreliable x4.
After this episode, even Xie Mingxuan's cool and handsome image was completely shattered, making him the number one scapegoat for "Yi" in the eyes of fans.
"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous."
“I laughed so hard in my room that I crowed like a rooster, and my grandfather thought his rooster had wandered into my room.”
"I laughed so hard I crowing. Absolutely amazing. My biggest question right now is, how exactly did Fang Yu write the song 'Man'? It's a song I've been listening to on repeat throughout my fourth album."
"I can only say that Fang Yu is the kind of person who is very thoughtful. He seems to be an extrovert, but he is actually very deep inside."
"I'm dying of laughter at him. I've forgotten how cool the Wings were when they first appeared, hahahahaha."
Most of the laughs in this episode were provided by "Yi". Even though the other two idols on the show were not as famous as him, he still cooperated with them happily. "Come Play" is a funny and cheerful show. In addition to "Yi's" fans, this episode also attracted the attention of the show's original fans.
"Wings Crew episode was so much fun!!"
"I didn't find his singing segment boring at all. Although I'm not a fan of Wings, the way he played guitar and sang in the vegetable garden was so natural. His singing skills without auto-tuning are truly unbeatable."
"The last song, 'Man,' and the second song, 'Flying Apsara,' were both really good. He tried his best to make people laugh when playing games, and he sang his songs well. I will definitely buy a copy of his new album after this episode."
"Buy the new album +1".
Viewers who enjoy watching variety shows often give the impression of being rather naive, but in reality, no viewer is a fool. Even if a celebrity deliberately pretends to be serious, viewers can easily tell from their performance whether they are sincere or not.
Generally speaking, it's more interesting when second- or third-tier stars appear on the show "Come Play" because they are willing to lower their standards for the sake of the show's effect. However, it's usually difficult for first-tier stars, even if they try their best to create an interesting atmosphere, because there is still a strong distance between them and the audience.
The audience found "Wing" to be very entertaining in this episode.
"Tsubasa" fans are happy to see the members' natural and everyday state - in their impression, there are very few idols like "Tsubasa". The fans almost forget that they are actually a limited group launched by the program "Idol Generation".
In terms of timing, "Idol Generation" has already passed the New Year, and even the limited group formed by Ji Yan as a guest on the show "Super Idol" has disbanded. However, "Wings" has continued to move forward steadily as a long-term group.
Even though they exposed each other's secrets on the show, disliked each other, and dragged each other down, the tacit understanding in their eyes and the bright smiles on their faces when they cooperated couldn't lie.
Fans like "Wings" for many reasons. Some like his looks, some like his voice, but in the hearts of fans, he is indeed brilliant as an individual. But when he forms "Wings", he shines incredibly brightly.
"Wing" is "Wing", you can't take it apart.
After this episode of "Come Play" aired, Snow Mountain TV was surprised to find that the episode featuring "Yi" had achieved the best results since the show's inception. Not only were the ratings incredibly high, but it also far surpassed other shows in terms of popularity. When the episode was rebroadcast at noon, the ratings remained high, and many fans were happy to rewatch the classic scenes from the show.
Fans also didn't forget to @DW Entertainment, ordering him to release "Wings" to participate in variety shows.
The official Weibo account's editor is afraid to speak up because no matter what he posts, it doesn't satisfy the fans. Recently, he has even mastered the skill of acting cute, posting cute pictures of the "Winged" characters every now and then. In any case, fans won't say anything bad under the cute pictures of the members.
#Mastering techniques to avoid being scolded#
However, this time, while some fans were asking DW Entertainment to put "Wings" on variety shows, another group of fans quietly chimed in: "No, Wings should be preparing their fifth album before starting a tour. Please arrange it quickly, thank you."
"We could also arrange a variety show for the group."
"How long has Ji Yanshi's 'The Vanishing Murder' been in theaters?"
Gradually, the fans who wanted "Yi" to participate in variety shows, release albums, and hold concerts started arguing. The editor was trembling and dared not speak, logging on and off intermittently, and then went to find Ye Ying to steal a cute picture to post on the homepage.
As a member of the DW Entertainment publicity department, the official Weibo editor usually communicates with Ye Ying if the topic of "Yi" is trending on Weibo. He also takes the initiative to reach out to Ye Ying if there is a lot of fan support on the official Weibo account.
Ye Ying used to be easy to talk to, but ever since the company's higher-ups started making a mess of things and angered her, when he tries to communicate with her, the agent usually offers the following solutions—
"We can post Mr. Jin's and Mr. Wu's phone numbers and let the fans call them."
Editor: "..."
It wouldn't be a big problem for Ye Ying to offend the two of them, but he wouldn't dare to.
Fortunately, on this day, the fans finally came to a conclusion after much deliberation: recording variety shows, holding concerts, and releasing albums can all be done at the same time, it's just that it's not easy to coordinate when Ji Yan is filming movies.
“It’s okay, Ji Shi’s schedule is very simple—from 0:00 to 8:00, he creates albums; from 8:00 to 17:00, he films movies; from 17:00 to 18:00, he eats and rests; from 18:00 to 23:00, he prepares for concerts; from 23:00 to 0:00, he rests.”
"Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to be this diligent!"
"What a perfect timetable! Even Master Ji would want to punch someone if he heard it."
"Excellent scheduling, the Wings Group fans are amazing!"
Upon seeing this timetable, Ji Yan was speechless.
They definitely have a system.
...
The airing of the variety show "Come Play" also significantly boosted the sales of "Mountains and Sea". Before the show aired, the sales of the album "Mountains and Sea" had been relatively flat, with most of the fans' enthusiasm for buying concentrated in the previous week. However, after the airing of this episode of "Come Play", the sales of "Mountains and Sea" and the first three albums all saw a slight increase.
For both "Wings" and the "Come Play" program team, this is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
The result was that "Wing" received invitations from several TV stations and variety shows within the week. They were particularly enthusiastic about the variety show that was competing with "Come Play" in terms of ratings. Unfortunately, "Wing" only participated in one variety show of the same type. In terms of promoting the album "Mountains and Seas", they tended to be conservative and relied more on radio, magazine interviews and live performances.
After all, he has always insisted on focusing on music, and although variety shows are good, they are not his main profession.
Twenty days after its release, "Mountains and Seas" has surpassed "Crows" in sales, not only in digital album sales but also in physical album sales. The songs "Flying," "Under Five Finger Mountain," and "Man" are just as popular as the lead single from "Crows." Even though Wings himself is low-key and did not create any extra buzz for the new album's release, every song on the album has been covered by several singers, and the album "Mountains and Seas" has been trending on social media.
The "blind man" summarized the album "Mountains and Sea" as follows: the sincerity that the singer puts into the music can be heard.
"Wing" puts his heart into making music, and his fans repay him with enthusiasm and sales, which is why "Wing" has been so popular from his first to his fourth album.
There are many obscure songs in the music scene, but even the most obscure songs will eventually be discovered by fans if the singer puts their heart into making and singing them. They will then tirelessly recommend the songs to the people around them.
Even if a popular singer's song has the best team, the most exquisite music video production, or even if they travel the world to make a music video, if the song itself is not good enough, it is just garbage wrapped in sugar coating. The beautiful appearance does not change the fact that it is not garbage.
Fooling is itself a form of arrogance, and this arrogance is conveyed in the song, which the fans can hear very clearly.
...
The promotional period for "Mountains and Seas" was close to the launch period for "Black Curtain," so Ji Yan was indeed very busy. He would carefully review the script and lines of "Black Curtain" before going to events and before going to bed at night, not only his own but also Xi Ming's. In this movie, his scenes with Xi Ming occupied at least half of the script.
Ji Yan did not want to show weakness in front of Xi Ming.
He was influenced by some marketing accounts, which used the phrase "two award-winning actors showcasing their acting skills" when mentioning the new film they were working on together. Ji Yan had completely lost to Xi Ming in the competition between "Young Love Poems" and "One Me". So, since he had the opportunity to work with Xi Ming in this new film, he felt he had to make his presence known.
Ji Yan could never have filmed without any preparation. He was busy promoting his new album, but that was part of his job, and filming "Black Curtain" was also part of his job.
Ji Yanjue realized that he did have the idea of tanking at first, but perhaps inspired by Ning Wei or his teammates, he moved further and further away from the path of tanking and would unconsciously become serious.
According to Fang Yu and Lu Wei, they became more serious after being inspired by Ji Yan.
