Chapter 95 At Least the Mission is Accomplished
Gu Qingge and her band Queen unsurprisingly made it into the top ten trending searches on Weibo. This wasn't a bought trending search, but genuine popularity.
Of course, the production team of "Produce 101" must have bought hot searches. After all, the first episode of this kind of talent show must be as popular as possible, and then we can see its subsequent development.
If this kind of talent show fails even in the first episode, then forget about dreaming of producing a top female idol.
In addition to the top ten trending searches on Weibo, many other social media platforms have also begun discussing the entire Queen band, most of which are praising them.
For example, on Zhihu, Gu Qingge has been very popular on this platform since the beginning, ever since she chose to go to China Arts University instead of those two top prestigious universities.
Someone asked a question right away on Zhihu:
What do you think of Gu Qingge and her Queen band’s debut performance?
How good are the Queen band members at playing their instruments?
How is Queen band’s lead singer Gu Qingge’s singing skills?
So all the elites and bigwigs started their exasperating answers again...
Of course, most of the respondents still praised Queen. Their debut was very successful, and "Chasing Dreams" should become a hit.
Some respondents even said that they are the ceiling of Chinese girl bands because their playing level is really good.
However, they were quite harsh on Gu Qingge herself. One respondent even said sarcastically, "Compared to Gu Qingge's singing skills, she's even better at currying favor with her teammates. God knows how she seduced these talented performers. Even Hua University's mixed-race campus beauty Ada succumbed to her. This is truly outrageous!"
"Gu Qingge's singing skills? Just second-rate. Being a band's lead singer shouldn't be a problem. She'll have teammates to back her up anyway. If she's ever allowed to participate in a competition like 'Road to the King of Singers' on her own, she'll be eliminated in the first round!"
"Please, laypeople, don't always assume that being able to hit high notes means you have good singing skills..."
"Gu Qingge? He's just a scoundrel from Queen. My grandma could be the lead singer (dog head)"
…
At the same time, the live performance video of "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" taken from the first episode of the show has been widely circulated on the Internet.
Unlike the mixed reviews from Zhihu answerers, please don’t use too many compliments in the comments below the video!
"This song came at the perfect time. I was feeling extremely depressed after failing the Gaokao, but now it has saved me. I will definitely give it my all next year when I repeat the exam!"
"Gu Qingge's new songs never disappoint. As an old fan, I never thought she could write such inspiring songs, and the quality is so high!"
"This song truly possesses a breathtaking power, especially the chorus. Gu Qingge sings with a sense of unwavering determination and a desire to tear everything apart. But I have to ask, is her voice breaking?"
"That's not a cracked voice, it's a roar! It perfectly expresses the helplessness and tragedy of being in trouble, as well as the determination to keep moving forward! In short, it's full of emotion! Everyone who hears it is moved!"
"Some people have used this song as background music for patriotic and inspirational videos. The combination of the two can bring people to tears."
"I really want to go to a Queen live performance. I think the beauty of those girls is insignificant compared to the charm of the music."
…
I have to admit that a classic inspirational song like "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" can really resonate with people!
At the same time, it can also encourage many people who are in a low point, which is exactly the scene that Gu Qingge expects to see.
Some people may always think that rock music is rebellious, decadent, and full of negative energy, but the music of Gu Qingge and her band Queen can be passionate, inspiring, and full of positive energy.
Gu Qingge prepared five songs for the first mini album produced for the Queen band, including "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", namely "My Sky", "Believe in Yourself", "Blooming Life" and "Stubborn".
I believe that once this album by Queen is released, it will definitely gain a foothold in the entire Chinese music scene.
Of course, the rock circle will definitely reject bands like Queen that clearly take the popular and positive energy route. In the original world, bands like Wang Toutiao and Mayday are at the bottom of the contempt chain because of their commercial success.
And after Gu Qingge, the lead singer of Queen, successfully sang the song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", those haters who previously thought that Gu Qingge was not qualified to be a mentor seemed to have disappeared overnight!
Others perform Sichuan opera face-changing.
"I'm sorry, Gu Qingge, I'm impressed by your singing skills!"
"If anyone tells me again that Gu Qingge is a studio singer, I'll curse him to death! Today, we are all fans!"
"Gu Qingge's original talent is truly incredible. This song, 'Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart,' instantly made Queen a hit."
"Produce 101 has really found a rare talent as a mentor. With a talented woman like Gu Qingge, this show is sure to be a hit..."
"I suggest that Produce 101 edit more scenes featuring Gu Qingge. I watch this show just for her!"
…
Before the first episode of "Produce 101" was broadcast, Gu Qingge's public opinion could be said to be very passive. Who made her "unworthy of the position"?
Is it appropriate for a tutor to be younger and have less experience than his students?
According to the tradition of seniority in the entertainment industry, this is certainly inappropriate.
However, she completely relied on her own strength and silenced all the doubters with a classic inspirational song like "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart"!
Coupled with Gu Qingge's natural audience appeal and sense of variety shows, her public opinion began to reverse completely, and many "fans" were naturally excited and proud of it.
There is no way, being a fan of such a treasure girl is really worry-free. She doesn’t even need fans to support her, she can always lead her fans to win!
You know, most fans like to see their favorite stars being liked by more people, rather than being questioned by public opinion or being attacked by internet trolls hired by others.
Now, except for a few people who are unhappy with Gu Qingge no matter what and are shouting that Gu Qingge just broke her voice, the negative public opinion about her has almost disappeared.
Of course, there are also some of Gu Qingge's fanatical fans, who do attract criticism, because they always like to use exaggerated words to praise Gu Qingge to the sky, and even call her "the hottest and most popular singer" or "the queen of Chinese music"...
How could this not attract criticism? Those popular singers and senior singers also have fans.
While Gu Qingge's fans were rejoicing, Gu Qingge himself was a little dumbfounded.
This is completely different from the "black and red" scene she had expected!
Why didn't anyone scold her for being disrespectful to her seniors?
Why doesn't anyone say that she is unprofessional and too lenient with the trainees?
Why doesn't anyone say that her evaluations are too subjective and that she is too biased towards girls like Yang Jingli who are cute in appearance but mediocre in ability?
It turns out that the clown is actually herself!
She was obsessed with getting into trouble on variety shows and getting some cultivation jade, but the more she showed her true self, the more she was praised for her variety sense and popularity...
However, as she heard the system notification sound that the current main task had been completed, she finally showed a look of relief.
