Chapter 203 Promotional Song
Compared to the popularity generated by Gu Qingge's main account, her vtuber account [Nian Nujiao], which had a very successful premiere, naturally did not cause any waves on large public platforms such as Weibo.
Although virtual idols are becoming more and more popular nowadays, they are still a very niche thing compared to mainstream entertainment stars.
It can even be said that the speed at which virtual anchors are updated and replaced is faster than that of mainstream stars.
Maybe this virtual anchor will be popular this year, but she will be forgotten next year.
However, now on Bilibili, [Nian Nujiao] has successfully attracted many fans.
Her original Japanese songs, as well as "Once Upon a Time", were also made into videos and posted on her own account.
The number of clicks and comments on these videos are quite good. For example, the song "Love Cycle" has gradually become popular.
There are even publishing companies that have taken a fancy to Nian Nujiao's fairy tale picture books and want to publish them.
If these songs, fairy tales and the like were released by Gu Qingge himself, they would have become popular all over the Internet long ago.
[Nian Nujiao] As a newcomer, it is quite good to have such popularity on Bilibili.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Qingge didn't pay too much attention to the popularity she and her new song had generated on the Internet.
However, some careful listeners on the Internet have been digging into the relationship between Gu Wenzhou and "Remembering Jiangnan".
Douban, a professional gossip-diving platform, is making every effort. Those female "fans" of Douban are professionals when it comes to gossip.
It’s a pity that no one dared to make a bold guess. Perhaps the song "Do You Know?" was sung by Gu Qingge in two voices.
This is mainly because Gu Qingge has never demonstrated her "voice changing" skills in public.
With this skill, she can already play with fake voice to the extreme. This is probably the amazing thing about the system-brand voice changer.
This parallel world seems to also have a music variety show similar to "Masked Singer Guess Guess Guess", which seems to be a popular program on Gangnam TV.
Gu Qingge felt that her "voice changing" skill was very suitable for use in this program. However, while others only needed to cover their faces, she had to wrap her entire body with a cloak so that the guests and the audience could not tell her gender.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Qingge actually showed off her calligraphy skills, after all, she had to put up Spring Festival couplets.
She asked Gu Wenzhou to buy red paper without any words on it, and then she wrote the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" with a brush herself.
Gu Wenzhou thought his sister looked so beautiful in traditional Chinese Hanfu while writing Spring Festival couplets with a brush that he couldn't help but take a picture of the scene with his mobile phone.
Gu Qingge's calligraphy has reached the mastery level, and she likes this skill very much. After all, calligraphy includes both brush calligraphy and hard pen calligraphy. She can even write chalk characters very well.
This makes her handwriting look very impressive whether she is signing autographs for fans or doing other things, and her fans all praise her for her handwriting being a reflection of her personality.
Mastering calligraphy means that in ancient times, she could have specialized in writing and selling it for money, after all, she had reached the professional level.
After Gu Wenzhou finished filming the video of his sister writing Spring Festival couplets, he couldn't help but post it on his Weibo.
And the "fans" who have always been paying attention to the brother-in-law's Weibo naturally heard the news and took action!
Gu Qingge just became a hot topic because of her new song, but her "fans" still have some regrets, that is, she still has not appeared in any program, stage, or camera.
Even as the "bathroom diva", she hasn't posted any short videos of herself singing in the bathroom recently.
This made those fans who not only liked to listen to Gu Qingge singing, but also liked to appreciate her stunning beauty, feel very uncomfortable.
At the critical moment, it was my brother-in-law Gu Wenzhou who came to my rescue!
It seems that there is nothing wrong in brainwashing my brother-in-law more often and asking him to post pictures of his sister whenever he has nothing to do!
It’s a pity that my brother-in-law’s video shooting skills are still too poor. He only took pictures of Gu Qingge’s whole body from a distance. When he zoomed in, he only took pictures of Gu Qingge’s hands and the beautiful handwriting she wrote.
There was no close-up of her beautiful face at all, and he still used the original camera without any beauty filter.
This is clearly a blatant straight man's way of taking pictures. Fortunately, Gu Qingge is very good-looking and has good skin, otherwise he would not be able to handle such a clear original camera.
Although the "fans" complained about Gu Wenzhou's straight male cameramanship in their hearts, their replies under this Weibo post were quite genuine -
"Great job, brother-in-law. Please step up and continue sharing your sister with your brother-in-law!"
"It's actually a video of the talented lady Gu showing off her calligraphy. Not bad!"
"She's so charming! Could Gu Qingge really be a talented woman who traveled from ancient times to the present?"
"It's so lucky to have a sister like this. She can even write Spring Festival couplets herself!"
"Brother-in-law, I suggest your sister put her calligraphy works on the fan club platform's mall. As a fan, I really want to hang the Spring Festival couplets written by your sister in my own home."
"Gu Qingge is so beautiful in traditional Chinese Hanfu. Her ancient costume is truly charming. Other female celebrities just can't pull off this charm!"
…
The "fans" basically encouraged Gu Wenzhou in various ways, hoping that he could take more pictures of his sister, even if it was a straight-man style, because Gu Qingge's appearance was not afraid of his straight-man style at all.
The main reason is that Gu Qingge has not been in business for a long time. How can she be so lazy? Even the donkey in the production team doesn’t dare to rest like this!
After knowing that her brother had filmed a video of her and posted it online, Gu Qingge didn't say much.
She also took to Weibo and posted this: "While writing Spring Festival couplets today, I suddenly thought of some interesting first lines. Can you help me think of the second lines?"
After she posted this Weibo, netizens naturally became interested and commented one after another:
"Ms. Gu, please come out!"
"I am the King of Kings, I can match any pair!"
"Come on, come on, I love couplets the most."
"I want to see what's so magical about Gu Qingge's original first couplet..."
…
Gu Qingge then threw out the Eternal Absolute that had never appeared in this world—
Smoke locks the willows in the pond.
Lonely and widowed, studying in a cold classroom.
Paint a lotus and a monk.
After Gu Qingge finished the first couplet, he was like a swordsman who swung his peerless sword and then left in a swift manner.
One sword froze fourteen states!
The netizens who had just been clamoring that they were the king of kings were suddenly dumbfounded...
This talented lady Gu didn't come up with these first lines while writing Spring Festival couplets. She clearly came prepared and has no literary virtues!
If it were in Gu Qingge's original world, he could still use Baidu to search for the second half of these three so-called eternal couplets. Even if they were not very correct, at least they matched.
However, in this world, since these three eternal absolutes have never appeared, if you search directly with a search engine, you won’t find any information about them at all!
All I found was the Weibo post Gu Qingge had just posted...
Ms. Gu is so cruel!
She immediately stumped the netizens of this world!
Under this Weibo post containing three eternal absolutes, the comment section was filled with wailing:
"Damn it! I've been tricked by the talented Gu again!"
"So, Gege, how long have you been thinking about these couplets? Is there really anyone who can match such a difficult couplet?"
"Ms. Gu is so unkind! She even wants to show off her talent in writing couplets?"
"Hmph, I'm further suspecting that Gu Qingge has been possessed by the soul of a talented ancient woman. It seems she's from a parallel world!"
"Dui Chuanchang is vomiting blood! Help me up! Go get some Chinese scholars who are well versed in classical Chinese literature..."
"It's really amazing! These couplets seem ordinary at first glance, but after careful consideration, I found that they are not the case at all!"
…
Gu Qingge smiled faintly when he saw these comments. He didn't expect that he would get an unexpected reward of cultivation jade.
Is this really a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder? He couldn't think of the second line, so he lost his temper and hated her?
So cute.
After Gu Qingge finished writing the Spring Festival couplets and embarrassed the netizens, she naturally put up the couplets with her brother.
This is something they do every year, and then in the afternoon the family will go to the memorial hall to burn paper and commemorate their deceased grandparents.
In the evening, the family will have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
When she was a child, Gu Qingge would set off fireworks with her younger brother Gu Wenzhou. These are all beautiful childhood memories.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Gu’s father and mother went out directly. They both had regular card-playing friends. Gu’s father liked to play 橋蛋, while Gu’s mother naturally played mahjong.
There were only Gu Qingge and Gu Wenzhou, brother and sister, left at home again.
"I'm planning to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala tonight. What about you?" Gu Qingge said this after helping to clean up the dishes.
"Sis, you didn't perform on the Spring Festival Gala, so I have no interest in watching it. I still prefer playing games and doing live broadcasts at the same time." Gu Wenzhou was still very real.
"Okay, then I'll watch it alone." Gu Qingge said casually.
"The Spring Festival Gala is nothing to watch now. I think only if you, sister, perform on the Spring Festival Gala can it restore its glory!" Gu Wenzhou took the opportunity to praise his sister.
Gu Qingge smiled and said, "Then let's go to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala next year and have some fun."
"I'm really looking forward to it! So, what song can you sing, sister?"
"Why do I have to sing? I think I can dance pretty well too. Wouldn't it be interesting to perform a classical dance on the Spring Festival Gala?"
Gu Qingge had watched the Spring Festival Gala many times in her original world. She felt that if she were to perform on the Gala, she could sing a song called "Legend".
As for dancing, she thinks there is a Spring Festival Gala stage called "Morning Light Song" which is particularly beautiful, and those young ladies in cheongsams are so beautiful.
In the original world, this was a dance performed by the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe, and the lead dancer was Zhu Jiejing.
Gu Qingge's dancing skills have now reached the expert level, but she has never had the opportunity to show them. She feels that next year's Spring Festival Gala will be an excellent stage to show them off!
While she was thinking this, the system released another side challenge task, which was to sing a song and lead a dance on the stage of next year's Spring Festival Gala, and make them the best stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the past five years!
The reward for this side challenge mission is still a random permanent blue expert-level skill.
As soon as this challenge task came out, Gu Qingge suddenly became more eager to see what the quality of this world's CCTV Spring Festival Gala was like.
After all, she will be performing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the future, and her competitors will be all the song and dance programs in the Spring Festival Gala in the past five years.
Gu Qingge is quite confident about Faye Wong's performance of "Legend".
The main reason is that she still has one year to level up. Her vocal skills are already at the expert level. Even if she hasn't broken through to the master level by next year's Spring Festival Gala, her progress bar will definitely be close.
Faye Wong was able to sing "Legend" so well on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and Gu Qingge felt that he was no worse than anyone else.
The same goes for dancing. Anyway, she plans to prove her singing and dancing skills next year. Deep down, she still likes to slap the faces of those who always think that she is not good at dancing.
What Gu Qingge didn't expect was that when her brother Gu Wenzhou heard that she wanted to perform classical dance on the Spring Festival Gala stage, he actually said: "Sister, I think you should sing. Singing is better."
Gu Wenzhou's impression of Gu Qingge's dance is still stuck in "Little Apple".
After all, the choreography of "Little Apple" was done by Gu Qingge, so many people think that this is her only level of dancing.
When Gu Qingge heard her brother say this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and gave a fake smile, giving people a very dangerous and charming feeling.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Wenzhou ran away and went back to his room to live broadcast his game.
And the first person Gu Qingge wants to slap is the face of this younger brother who looks down on her dancing skills!
Gu Qingge watched the Spring Festival Gala alone.
As she watched, she finally figured out why her brother didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala anymore.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala in this world is getting worse every year. Even though the Spring Festival Gala in previous years was not very good, at least there were still netizens willing to complain.
As a result, this year, netizens are too lazy to even complain!
What are they doing?
Someone joked that instead of complaining about the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, I think it is more interesting to participate in the discussion of Gu Qingge's "Qian Gu Jue Jie"!
As a result, this kind of ridicule actually gained the approval of many netizens...
However, there is also a singing program in this year's Spring Festival Gala that is worth watching.
This is actually also a work by Gu Qingge, it is "Loyalty to the Country", and the singer is none other than the national team singer Mr. Chen Yirong.
And this program also successfully became a hot topic.
While netizens praised Chen Yirong's singing, they also couldn't help but say, "The CCTV Spring Festival Gala director should be criticized. Why didn't he invite the talented Gu to sing "Blue and White Porcelain"? Wouldn't that be great?"
Various conspiracy theories have emerged again, and some people are spreading gossip, saying that Gu Qingge didn't want to lip-sync and that's why she didn't appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. If she had appeared, she would definitely lip-sync "Blue and White Porcelain"...
While watching the live broadcast of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Gu Qingge also used her tablet to watch the selected programs of the previous Spring Festival Galas. The more she watched, the more she felt that this side challenge task of the system was indeed not difficult.
The side challenge mission is here, and then Gu Qingge receives another system commissioned task, and the client is actually Tencent.
It turns out that Tencent's large-scale martial arts online game "Sword Against the Cold Water. Love" is going to cooperate with Gu Qingge to create a promotional song for the opera gameplay, and it would be best if it were launched during the Spring Festival.
Tencent is obviously very sincere. They feel that only Gu Qingge's talent can satisfy them!
The price they offered was quite generous, at least seven figures, just for one song!
And they also believe in Gu Qingge's songwriting speed!
It was the first time that Gu Qingge encountered a situation where the person issuing the commissioned task was an entire company.
So the question is, after completing this commissioned task, what skills can she draw from Tencent?
To be honest, she was quite curious.
Therefore, Gu Qingge must of course undertake this commissioned task!
When she was inspired, the song she prepared for the game "Sword Against the Cold Water. Love" was exactly - "Chi Ling".
The task-crazy Gu Dacai, who has been resting for a long time, is finally back to work!
