Chapter 55: Winning with Fans
Before Gu Qingge came up with "Fu of Hate", Liu Yongwei, the black fan who had been stirring up trouble and claiming that she could never write "Fu of Farewell", was quite proud of himself.
Because his efforts in leading the pace were indeed effective, many online experts and marketing accounts jumped out and questioned Gu Qingge from various angles.
In today's era where traffic is king, it's common for people to try to scam or expose an artist without any real evidence.
If Gu Qingge has already signed with an entertainment company and has a backer, then it would be fine.
In the face of capital, these marketing accounts are powerless.
After all, marketing accounts make money by taking advantage of traffic, and they also make money by being PR, so they certainly won’t be stubborn and go against capital.
However, Gu Qingge had not signed with any company, so some marketing accounts naturally took advantage of the situation and made a lot of noise in the small circle.
Liu Yongwei felt that he was surrounded by friendly forces. He had successfully gathered a group of black fans who disliked Gu Qingge anyway.
But he didn't know that this behavior made Gu Qingge develop Jade+++ just by lying down, which was very comfortable.
In fact, both the official and the public are on Gu Qingge's side.
For the authorities, the authority and fairness of the college entrance examination are absolutely unquestionable!
The public has long seen through the true colors of some experts and scholars, and some marketing accounts are really disgusting. They are the ones who like to take advantage of others the most. They have no bottom line for traffic.
The problem is that most people have a sense of dignity and don't have that much time to chat on the Internet.
This has led to many social platforms being occupied by people who have no bottom line in their pursuit of traffic.
When Gu Qingge encountered such doubts, her "fans" were all panicked for a while. They didn't understand why everything was going well and Gu Qingge's popularity was about to take off, but she encountered such a thing.
Fortunately, Chu Ling, the leader of the "fans", has extensive experience in controlling comments and combating black fans. She is preparing to organize the "fans" to protect Gu Qingge.
But what she didn't expect was that Gu Qingge didn't need fans to protect her at all, but continued to show her "talented and willful" style, highlighting that a slap in the face will not be delayed overnight.
After this "Ode to Hate" appeared, Liu Yongwei was stunned and kept muttering "This is impossible". How could such a famous piece of writing just exist?
This girl's talent is too terrifying!
Other skeptics had similar reactions, and felt a genuine sense of powerlessness.
In the face of Gu Qingge's "talent", they were almost defeated!
Those experts and marketing accounts became complete jokes after this. In the comments below, the passers-by who had originally had a good impression of Gu Qingge naturally made all kinds of sarcastic remarks.
"You dare to certify yourself as an 'expert in ancient literature'? Do you have any outstanding works? If not, you can read Gu Qingge's 'Farewell Fu' and 'Hate Fu'."
"Why are you pretending to be dead? Weren't you dancing so happily before? Now you can't even issue an apology statement?"
"This wave is so satisfying! Gu Qingge, come on! Beat up these experts and beasts!"
"It was really frustrating to see Gu Qingge being questioned in various ways. She clearly has no talent and lacks ability, yet she insists on questioning a genius. This behavior is really low, and she is simply blinded by jealousy."
…
Chu Ling, the leader of the "fans", was also speechless and overwhelmed by Gu Qingge's counterattack.
She once again realized that her new fan base was completely different from that of other artists and stars.
She felt that Gu Qingge's fighting ability was too strong. Other artists needed fans to protect them, but Gu Qingge could win without any effort by leading his fans.
Now all the “fans” have to do is fight when the wind is favorable and collect heads.
Through this incident, Gu Qingge’s followers on Weibo have soared to 500,000, and the number of “fans” in the super topic has also skyrocketed!
Many male netizens who originally did not like Weibo and thought it was a "women's restroom" or a "cesspool" joined the super topic and became "fans" of Gu Qingge because they became fans of her.
After Gu Qingge released "Ode to Hate", she posted another Weibo post that was even more hateful, which was to encourage her doubters to increase their efforts. In fact, she had not yet put in any effort.
As a result, after this Weibo post came out, no one came forward to take action.
Although "Farewell Fu" and "Hate Fu" are already quite excellent poems, in terms of popularity, they are still not as famous as Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of the Luo River" and Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu".
Especially "Red Cliff Fu", anyone who has studied Chinese in the original world should have memorized it -
"I am a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean. I lament the brevity of my life, yet envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. I wish to soar with the immortals, and embrace the bright moon for eternity. Knowing I cannot obtain it all at once, I entrust my echo to the sad wind."
However, Gu Qingge cannot just throw away such a trump card. At least she has to learn from Su Shi, go to Chibi to "go boating with guests", and then "get inspired" and "create" the "Red Cliff Fu".
Anyway, there is also the Three Kingdoms in this parallel world, but some of the famous people and famous works in the Three Kingdoms have been replaced by other famous people and famous works.
Before "creating", Gu Qingge would definitely check carefully whether the work is suitable to be produced.
When the trend of the Internet was determined, a few truly talented and knowledgeable literary figures stood up and translated and interpreted Gu Qingge's "Ode to Hate" for the public.
Yan Shi, a professor of ancient literature at Capital University, commented: "Gu Qingge uses clear and elegant words to depict the past, expressing his nostalgic feelings and generous aspirations, thus forming a unique feature that is different from ordinary parallel prose.
It not only gives full play to the advantages of the spatial structure of the fu, but also runs through it with the main emotional line.
The embellishments in the fu are just right, the whole text is catchy, refreshing and has a great momentum.
The whole poem is concise and rigorous, without any redundant words, and has harmonious rhythm and exquisite language.
However, the famous writer Tao Yuanzao pointed out that "Fu of Hate" is not as good as "Fu of Farewell" because "Fu of Farewell" did not give specific examples, while "Fu of Hate" chose examples that were not so appropriate, which made it flawed.
However, Tao Yuanzao still expressed his admiration for Gu Qingge, because the fact that a modern person can write prose and poetry comparable to those of the ancients shows how profound her knowledge of classical Chinese is.
No matter what, Gu Qingge used these two essays to make his presence felt in the traditional literary world.
Although many writers did not say it out loud, they were still deeply shocked in their hearts. The impression of Gu Qingge as "outstanding literary talent and boundless talent" was also deeply rooted in people's hearts.
There were also some literary giants who really admired Gu Qingge and felt very sorry that she didn't study literature...
They seemed to have subconsciously overlooked the fact that before this, Gu Qingge was a singer-songwriter who was about to attend the acting department of an art university.
Her "Little Love Song" and "Painting" are still very popular now.
