Chapter 239: Honest to the End
As a result of Ji Yan's actions, she got the desired treatment of being flooded with comments on Weibo.
In such a situation, she sent a Weibo post like this:
"I really don't know what's going on. Why are the comments under my Weibo so messed up? Can anyone tell me if I did anything wrong? I'm just asking quietly, is it because I don't know Gu Qingge? But I'm telling the truth, I really don't know her. You can't criticize me just because you don't know her. Have I broken the law? (Sorry, Gu Qingge, I really don't know you)"
On the surface, this Weibo post seems to be an apology, and it also further shows her "straightforward" side. If you don't know him, then you don't know him, so what?
But in fact, this senior singer Ji Yan is clearly deliberately disgusting people, making it seem as if Gu Qingge is the kind of traffic idol star who has no works at all and is only sought after by young people.
However, there is no doubt that Gu Qingge has works. She even pioneered the Chinese style and ancient style trends, and several of her representative works are sung all over the country!
Gu Qingge also left a god-level performance of "Blue and White Porcelain" at the Jiangnan TV New Year's Eve Gala, and her opera voice amazed countless audiences.
You, Ji Yan, have not retired from the music scene, but are still active in the pop music scene. Could it be that you don’t pay any attention to the new music genres that are popular in the market?
This is just too fake!
It's just that Ji Yan has been in the music industry for so many years, and she is a "first-line singer" after all. Of course, she has fans, and her popularity among the public is actually quite good. After all, her personality is that of a straightforward, focused, and talented female singer.
Many people have deep feelings about her songs.
So after she posted this Weibo, her fans certainly couldn't just sit there and watch her get attacked like this, so they all spoke out -
"Some of those fanatical 'fans' should be done with it. Teacher Ji Yan has already so frankly apologized to Gu Qingge on Weibo. Why are you still being so unreasonable?"
"Honestly, I'm quite fond of Gu Qingge, this talented and beautiful new-generation singer. Her songs are indeed good and catchy, but some of her fans leave a very bad impression. They like to stir up trouble on Weibo over the slightest thing!"
"I just don't understand. Anyone with a bit of intelligence can see that this incident was all manipulated by unscrupulous media, but some fans fell for it and actually went after a highly respected music veteran like Teacher Ji Yan?"
"The current entertainment industry is really not good. No matter how popular Gu Qingge is, she's just a new singer after all. She doesn't even have an artist rating. Can't she show some respect to 'top singer' Ji Yan? I suggest she quickly post an apology on Weibo."
"There's no need to post on Weibo specifically. Just reply to Teacher Ji Yan's post and show some weakness. I've already thought of a response for her. Hello, Teacher Ji, you're a senior I've always admired. Cyberbullying has always hurt people, and many innocent people have suffered greatly from it. Let's not take it personally and don't let those with ulterior motives succeed."
"That's a fitting response. Gu Qingge's studio will then issue a solemn statement, and this matter will be over."
"What if Gu Qingge refuses to give in? Don't forget that she is also a straightforward person, especially talented and willful."
"Then you just refuse to accept it. We're all in the Chinese music scene, and we're all seeing each other every day. If you insist on tearing your face off and fighting to the end, it's too youthful and arrogant. The Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer should go to Teacher Ji Yan, right? Gu Qingge won the Best Newcomer Award, and that hasn't changed."
…
The remarks made by Ji Yan's fans seemed quite reasonable, but it was obvious that they wanted to make Gu Qingge suffer a loss and dampen her fighting spirit.
Therefore, it is questionable how many of Ji Yan’s fans are her real fans.
Maybe many of them are fans of other artists or haters of Gu Qingge, who are temporarily putting on a layer of skin.
This kind of behavior and operation can be said to be quite common in fan circles.
Could it be that they are really standing up for Ji Yan?
Obviously not, they just used Ji Yan as a temporary tool to slander Gu Qingge.
Ji Yan must have been secretly delighted to see such public reaction. She didn't expect that she would have so many "ten-year old fans" overnight!
As for the "fans", these Ji Yan fans who jumped out from nowhere and have no idea what is going on are really annoying!
Some of Gu Qingge's fans who were not fanatical "fans" were disgusted. They chose to directly present the facts and reason -
"Is this really just some unscrupulous media stirring up trouble? How ridiculous! Ji Yan said she didn't know the talented Gu, so she did it on purpose. Here's the evidence... [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]"
"This is such a thorough exposé! I didn't expect Ji Yan's secondary Weibo account to have liked [Remembering Jiangnan]'s Weibo post!"
"How interesting! Teacher Ji Yan, a senior singer with both talent and virtue, is secretly a fan of the virtuous but untalented Yi Jiangnan, and even calls him the Jiangnan Boss? She's really good at licking Yi Jiangnan!"
"You know the leader of Gu Qingge's anti-fans, [Yi Jiangnan], but you don't know Gu Qingge herself? You're amazing, Ji Yan!"
"I suggest you keep reading the name Ji Yan, and then you'll discover her true nature, which is - a bitch!"
"Wow, I'd call this a truly wonderful life! Don't underestimate the fighting power of our fans."
"Fans of Douban Group 8, hurry up and dig up the inside story of Ji Yan and You Woxing's collaboration on the song "Wanted But Unattainable". I don't believe that this rotten crotch of hers didn't have an affair with that scumbag You Woxing."
"The bottom line is, Ji Yan's initiative and tactics this time were all for the Best Mandarin Female Vocalist award at the Golden Melody Awards. She hadn't anticipated that a talented young woman like Gu, who had just debuted not long ago, would be nominated for this award."
…
It can only be said that among Gu Qingge's fan base, there is a group of "fans" who are particularly good at digging out the truth. They are really cruel and arrange everything clearly for those artists who have improper conduct and ulterior motives.
Ji Yan thought she was at the fifth level, and she easily took advantage of the unscrupulous media and fanatical "fans" to completely ruin Gu Qingge's popularity.
But she didn't expect that some of Gu Qingge's "fans" were in the atmosphere!
The counterattack from the "fans" was quick and accurate, but they really didn't expect that Ji Yan, a senior singer, could be so shameless.
That is, she doesn't care at all about having her true face exposed by some fans. It is useless to tell her the facts and reason with her, and there is no way to break her defense!
In addition, there are always some people who ignore the negative news about Ji Yan. They just talk to you about feelings, or praise Ji Yan's works and professional abilities...
"Teacher Ji Yan has been singing diligently for so many years. How could you have the heart to fabricate negative information about her? She's so hardworking, honest, and has both moral integrity and artistic excellence..."
Ji Yan’s fans tried to defend her in this way, and in the end, fans of both sides started to fight, but the matter ended in nothing.
In fact, when Ji Yan saw those negative news, she just laughed it off. Even if some smart people saw the purpose of her doing all this, what could she do?
Her status as a senior singer and the title of "first-line singer" are enough to make her invincible.
Now, she wanted to see how Gu Qingge, the super talented musician who was said to have a bad temper, would react.
No matter whether Gu Qingge gives in or fights to the end, Ji Yan will feel very happy. In fact, she hopes that Gu Qingge will fight to the end.
If Gu Qingge gave in, then apart from gaining face and feeling happy, she wouldn't seem to gain anything particularly great.
The more assertive Gu Qingge's attitude becomes, the more dislike she will cause to many senior artists in the entertainment industry. They will feel that this newcomer is too unruly. If she treats her senior singer Ji Yan like this today, what will happen in the future?
You know, many of the judges of the Golden Melody Awards are veterans in the music industry. Will these veterans really have a good impression of singers who are disrespectful to their predecessors?
In addition to Ji Yan, there are actually quite a few people who are watching Gu Qingge's excitement. They feel that she is facing a very difficult situation this time, and it feels like she is being bitten by the fans in the fan circle.
So sometimes it’s not good for fans to be too aggressive, as it’s easy for them to get carried away and be exploited by others.
At this time, Gu Qingge was not in the country at all. Instead, he went to Iceland, where he relaxed and traveled while watching the MSI, the mid-season cup of "Honor of Kings", which was in full swing in May.
This competition is also considered a world-class e-sports event, and only the spring season champions of each region are eligible to participate.
The winner of the LPL Spring Championship is of course the DGE team led by "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou.
Gu Wenzhou finally fulfilled the pledge he made to his sister, which was that his DGE team won the spring championship and qualified to compete in Iceland.
As long as Gu Wenzhou wins the championship of this mid-season cup, he will be the first Grand Slam winner in the history of China's "Heroes of Glory".
Gu Qingge happened to have some free time during this period, so she decided to go to Iceland to cheer for her brother and relax at the same time.
Gu Qingge also brought Mo Wei along, because this little liar was also very idle, after all, she had no college to go to.
Although Gu Qingge has to go to college, she can take leave, which is a privilege for star students.
Mo Wei obviously also longed to travel around and see the prosperity of the world, but she pretended to be calm and composed, as if she had traveled often.
After all, she couldn't lose the persona of "Miss Mo", even though she was just a working girl working for the capitalist Gu Qingge.
Gu Qingge really likes to take girls out for a relaxing trip. Before, she also took You Ruoyu and Lin Yun to visit many famous scenic spots and historical sites in China, pretending to collect materials and accumulate inspiration.
Gu Qingge, who happened to be traveling in Iceland, naturally avoided the domestic public opinion storm. Many reporters wanted to interview Gu Qingge to see how she would respond to the senior singer who took the initiative to attack her.
The entertainment industry is not a harmonious circle. The rise of some newcomers will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some seniors, especially when there is substantial competition between the two.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fundamental reason why Ji Yan did this was because of the competition for the "Best Mandarin Female Singer" award in the "China Golden Melody Awards".
But even if someone points this out, what can be done?
The Chinese entertainment industry in this world is a place where seniority is very important. Seniors will seize any opportunity to suppress juniors, and generally speaking, the juniors will just suffer the consequences.
What's so powerful about Ji Yan this time is that she had already laid out the plan before the suppression and put herself in the position of the victim. Who allowed the unscrupulous media to misinterpret her, and who allowed the fanatical "fans" to attack her?
Since she has suffered such "injustice", she can naturally fight back!
Although Gu Qingge happened to be far away from the center of domestic public opinion, the Internet is so developed now, and Ye Jingyi also told her about this situation, so Gu Qingge naturally knew about it.
When Gu Qingge heard about this, she was not anxious or upset. Instead, she was secretly happy. Finally, a senior singer with considerable influence stood up to suppress her!
Good suppression!
Gu Qingge has never been the kind of person who would give in. She is determined to fight to the end!
What senior singers? She is fighting against the elite!
Gu Qingge originally wanted to post a Weibo post to mock this senior singer and then escalate the conflict.
But then she thought again, if she did this with her real account, she might not attract much hatred, and in the end her "fans" might even think that she cares too much about her fans, and that she even dares to confront senior artists for the sake of her fans!
The general public will also think that she is "true to her nature", and everyone appreciates this kind of straightforward artist!
Since you, Ji Yan, are also very straightforward, then I, Gu Qingge, will also be straightforward to the end. Who is afraid of who?
You don't really think Gu Qingge cares about the so-called popularity, do you?
Even when she found out that she had been nominated for so many "China Golden Melody Awards", her reaction was very calm - Oh, I'm going to win an award?
Isn't it normal to win an award? She copied so many songs, and some of them won many awards in the original world.
So what’s the big deal about being nominated for a Golden Melody Award?
Gu Qingge suppressed the urge to post on Weibo directly to confront the problem, because she now has a lot of experience in being backstabbed. She always feels that no matter what she does, the fan filter will eventually make her more popular with the public.
There's no way around it, sometimes being beautiful is just like that, annoying. Even if she has low emotional intelligence and a bad temper, people will just think she's genuine, living authentically, without any pretense or persona...
Okay, since the cultivation jades that can be harvested are limited no matter what my main account does, I'll let my secondary account take action.
The most hateful thing in this world is probably the so-called "betrayal".
After hearing the gossip about her senior singer "Ji Yan", Gu Qingge of course also knew that this senior female singer actually admired "Remembering Jiangnan" very much. She even supported "Remembering Jiangnan" with her trumpet and called him "Jiangnan Boss".
I just don't know if Ji Yan has joined the "Gu Qingge anti-fan group"...
In fact, Gu Qingge really hopes that she can join. This business of Hei Benzun's big account is a long and arduous journey, and it requires everyone to unite and work together!
Gu Qingge herself actually has a bit of the attribute of a "melon-eating maniac". When she was using the small account [Poppy], she liked to eat all kinds of melons.
Through gossip, Gu Qingge also learned that Ji Yan has a mediocre or even very bad relationship with many female singers in the music industry because of her "straightforward nature".
Her biggest rival is a female singer named "He Xiangling".
He Xiangling is about the same age as Ji Yan. Coincidentally, they debuted in the same year. Both of them have good voices and similar singing styles.
In such a situation, competition is inevitable among them. After all, if you sing a song, I can sing it too. No one can compose, so it depends on who can grab a better song.
He Xiangling's appearance is actually better than Ji Yan's.
Unfortunately, Ji Yan, who is thicker-skinned, more straightforward and daring, is more skilled and has grabbed more good resources.
The song "Perfume" that was popular in the streets and alleys directly allowed Ji Yan to surpass He Xiangling. However, the original musician actually wanted He Xiangling to sing this song.
Sometimes a singer's star journey is like this, it can be completely different just because of one song.
Although He Xiangling continued to sing later, she was never very popular. In addition, Ji Yan never let her guard down. Almost any song that He Xiangling liked, as long as Ji Yan thought it was good enough and had the potential to help He Xiangling make a comeback, she would find ways to snatch it away.
Anyway, Ji Yan's position in the music industry has been consolidated through various music awards and various good songs, and it is becoming easier and easier for her to suppress He Xiangling.
After all, for musicians, if they give the song to Ji Yan, who is more famous and has more influence, they will naturally make more money with the same share of the profits.
After Gu Qingge finished eating the melon about Ji Yan and He Xiangling, she had an idea.
At this time, Gu Qingge leisurely clicked on He Xiangling's homepage on Yinyueyun and listened to several of her most downloaded paid songs...
As Gu Qingge listened, he shook his head slightly. He Xiangling obviously had a good voice and singing skills, but she could only sing songs of average quality. It was a pity.
But this is also good. If we can directly promote Ji Yan’s arch-enemy through a song, then the ability of "Remembering Jiangnan" can be demonstrated!
At the same time, it can also make him more hated!
And doesn’t this Ji Yan have an infinitely thick health bar and is invulnerable to all kinds of defenses?
Then let's see if her "Jiangnan Boss" can break her defense...
Gu Qingge directly used the "Yin Yueyun" account of [Remembering Jiangnan] to send a private message to He Xiangling.
The content of the private message was that he [Remembering Jiangnan] was attracted by He Xiangling's voice and wanted to write a song for her. He wondered if she was interested in singing it.
If so, then take the initiative to add the Penguin account of [忆江南] and chat in detail.
The name of this song is clearly trying to stir up trouble——
"Perfume is Poisonous".
