Chapter 69: Wrong Way
The songs under Gu Qingge's trumpet [Yu Meiren] are still lukewarm.
However, [Yu Meiren]'s personal homepage has gradually gathered a group of very loyal fans.
The common characteristic of these fans is that they are all relatively literary and prefer niche, artistic and stylish songs.
They pay more attention to the lyrics than the melody of the song.
Among these songs of [Yu Meiren], the lyrics of "Borrow Me", "I Fell from the Edge of the Cliff" and "The Song of Wonderful Power" are quite in line with their tastes.
These die-hard fans believe that [Yu Meiren] has a very high literary quality. She is not only a musician, but also a poet.
She also breathed new life into folk music.
Every Yinyue.com account has a personal homepage, which is a bit like a forum community like Tieba.
For example, the personal homepage under the account [Remembering Jiangnan] is very chaotic, with some people praising and some scolding, it is a mess.
The personal homepage under Gu Qingge's real account highlights an organized and disciplined image. Posts must follow a fixed format and there are almost no negative comments.
The fighting power of the "fans" is quite strong, but the consequence is that many passers-by stay away from their homepages, because it is a place where "fans" keep to themselves.
The personal homepage under the [Yu Meiren] account is of course very free, without so many rules and regulations. And because it is a niche account, there are not many negative reviews. Instead, there are more people praising her to the sky.
Some fans posted here to express their views on the mysterious independent musician [Yu Meiren]——
"I discovered this hidden gem singer by chance. After listening to her folk songs, I couldn't leave. I downloaded all her songs and played them on repeat."
"I feel bad for [Yu Meiren]! Her songs are at least a hundred times better than Gu Qingge's. Just in terms of artistic conception and value, she absolutely blows Gu Qingge away!"
"Exactly! In terms of talent, [Yu Meiren] is definitely better than Gu Qingge. It's just that she's a little unlucky and not as popular."
"It's okay to beat Gu Qingge. I also like Yu Meiren's songs, but I don't like the provocative remarks of some of her brainless fans.
More talented than Gu Qingge? I don’t think so.
Gu Qingge is not only a musician, but also the top scorer in the Jiangnan Province College Entrance Examination in Literature, a master of ancient literature, and a modern poet. How can [Poppy] compare to Gu Qingge?
"No way, no way, there are also Gu Qingge's stinking fans lurking in our [Poppy] territory? Go back to your fans' territory and listen to Xiaobai's songs!"
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with these crazy fans. If you have time to waste on this, why not recommend [Poppy]'s songs to more people and make her more popular? Otherwise, it's hard to say whether she will continue to create."
"Indeed, I listened to all of [Yu Mei Ren's] songs and found that their production quality was uneven. I wondered if [Yu Mei Ren] was too poor to even afford to rent a recording studio."
"It's so hard to be a niche folk singer. I've already paid to download all her songs and even tipped her a hundred yuan. [Poppy], please keep creating!"
"Excuse me, do you know [Yu Meiren]'s contact information? Being an independent musician isn't a long-term path. I happen to have a small record company, and [Yu Meiren] has incredible creative talent. I'd like to sign her."
"[Poppy] is too mysterious. She doesn't have any contact information. Perhaps you can send her a private message."
"I don't think [Yu Meiren] will sign with a record company. Judging from her comments, her style is too strong and a normal company wouldn't be able to handle her."
"[Yu Meiren] is fine as an independent musician. Many independent musicians lose their original flavor in their songs after signing with record companies."
…
Gu Qingge would occasionally use the [Yu Meiren] account, appear on his personal homepage, and communicate with these niche users.
She didn't expect that these niche users would sneer at her own songs.
They also comforted [Yu Meiren] in various ways, saying that she didn't need to envy Gu Qingge at all, because Gu Qingge's song was purely an internet celebrity song and would only be popular for a few months.
And folk songs like yours [Yu Meiren] are all good songs that are worth savoring over and over again, so as long as you keep creating, you will definitely beat Gu Qingge in terms of reputation in the future!
"Yinyue.com" also has a song rating system, which is basically occupied by users who have good musical literacy and are willing to rate and comment.
The songs under Gu Qingge’s main account don’t have very high ratings, but the songs under [Yu Meiren] have never had a rating lower than 8 points.
Gu Qingge felt embarrassed by the comforting words of these enthusiastic niche users.
Obviously, [Yu Meiren] is also her, Gu Qingge, but the fans of [Yu Meiren] and the "fans" are just not in tune with each other.
Gu Qingge always saw people making diss comments about Gu Qingge on [Yu Meiren]'s personal homepage.
Clearly, both [Yu Meiren] and Gu Qingge are newcomers to the music scene, so why is it that Gu Qingge becomes so popular with just any song she releases? Is it just because of her looks?
The conclusion they came to was that Gu Qingge relied entirely on her stinky fan club and had the support of Xinghuo Records behind her, so her victory was unfair.
No matter how they diss Gu Qingge, it is an indisputable fact that Gu Qingge's popularity has risen to a new level through the two original songs "Flying Birds and Cicadas" and "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole".
This time, Gu Qingge did not have many die-hard fans, but many passers-by who liked the "Yin Yue Yun" platform.
Most of these casual fans just listen to the songs and don’t have the time to write reviews or give ratings, nor are they too lazy to discover good songs.
The way they use "Yin Yue Cloud" is to click on the "New Song List", "Hot Song List", "Rising Song List", "Download List", etc., and then listen from top to bottom. They will only pay to download the ones they like particularly.
The two songs "Flying Birds and Cicadas" and "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole" are undoubtedly the top-ranking songs, and these are the songs that most passers-by like.
In this way, Gu Qingge has completed two-thirds of the progress of this side quest.
There is also a blockbuster song called "Meeting". The production company of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" has not yet responded, and the result will probably be known by mid-August.
So Gu Qingge was not in a hurry. It was already the beginning of August. Before the fifth and final volume of "Who Can Compete" was released, the editor-in-chief Ye Jingyi came to Handong City from Haidu.
She wanted to visit Teacher "Nan Gezi" in person, discuss major plans with her, and pull Teacher "Nan Gezi" onto her chariot.
As mentioned before, Miss Ye Jingyi, who comes from a distinguished family, has had enough of some of the senior executives of Qidian Publishing House who are just sitting there doing nothing. They own "Qidian.com" but are not making full use of it.
She wants to acquire Qidian.com and turn it into the real online novel website she envisions, rather than just an appendage of physical popular novels as it is now.
Before that, she wanted to sincerely invite teacher "Nan Gezi" to help her.
