Chapter 58 Out-of-circle video
What the hell is this entry?
Ding Shaoyuan clicked in confused.
He discovered that Xia Linxing...was he his nemesis?! The previous entry for "Bai Ye Linxing" was already baffling enough, and now there's an even more baffling one.
However, this entry... is better than the previous one "Bai Ye Lin Xing". At least when Ding Shaoyuan saw the name of the entry... he could understand it.
He reached out and clicked on the entry called "So embarrassingly real".
In the entry square, the most popular video is one with a playback volume of...hiss, Ding Shaoyuan took a breath.
It has already had millions of views!
What the hell is this video?!
Ding Shaoyuan clicked on the video and clicked play.
As soon as I clicked on it, the marketing account's unique AI voiceover sounded, accompanied by the marketing account's rhetoric: "I'm dying of laughter. It turns out that the trainees in the talent show also feel awkward when interacting with the camera..."
The scene on the screen changed, jumping from emoticons to the personal live shots of the trainees that the program team released before the voting channel was closed.
The live shot that this marketing account cut into the video was of Xia Linxing.
Why is it Xia Linxing's? Ding Shaoyuan really doesn't understand.
In his impression, Xia Linxing's theme song dance wasn't particularly good, right? There were many trainees who danced better than Xia Linxing.
He frowned and continued reading.
The video shown in the marketing account was not the complete straight-shot video of Xia Linxing, but a part of it, and Xia Linxing's face was magnified.
Just when Ding Shaoyuan was wondering what he was supposed to see, he saw in the enlarged picture that when the camera got closer, Xia Linxing became visibly restrained.
Not only were her movements less relaxed than before, but her face had even turned red. Despite her restraint, Xia Linxing still managed to interact with the camera with a certain professionalism. But the effect of this interaction…her eyes wandered, barely daring to look at the camera. No, Ding Shaoyuan truly didn't understand. What was so good about this video? Why had it gotten so many views?
But the people in the comment section obviously don’t think so——
There's a whole video below this, hahaha:
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. This little brother is so cute! His face is filled with visible embarrassment..."
"I've always wanted to ask this question: Why don't trainees or idols feel awkward when a camera suddenly gets too close to them mid-dance? Now someone has given me the answer—it turns out some people do."
"Hahaha, this trainee is so genuine! What's his name? I'm going to support this shy little cutie..."
"Star fans are here. This little cutie is called Xia Linxing, and she's a solo trainee. So there are too many stars and no experience interacting with the camera, so please bear with me~"
"Where is the original link to this straight shot... Is there anyone kind enough to post a portal?"
"Isn't the funniest thing about this one: he's so embarrassed his face is red, but he still has to work for the camera? It's beautiful, I love it, take more pictures, I'm going to take this forced love!"
"You're all bad people. You only care about his embarrassment. Am I the only one who thinks the little brother's face is good-looking? Even after it's been magnified so much by the marketing accounts, you still can't fight!"
…
The more Ding Shaoyuan looked, the more confused he became.
Was it him or someone else who was wrong? If this clip of Xia Linxing was cut out, it would have been considered a performance error in the past!
But how come when it comes to Xia Linxing, it becomes "real" and "cute"? Is there any justice in this?!
Don't tell him that Xia Linxing was just because of this video...
"Yes, it's just what you think..."
A trainee from the same company spoke faintly from behind Ding Shaoyuan, "It's because the marketing account edited this video that Xia Linxing became famous for being awkward and shy when interacting with the camera."
Many people who were just watching the video were not satisfied with just watching the short clip cut out by the marketing account, so they went to watch the complete live shot of Xia Linxing, trying to find more embarrassing clips of Xia Linxing.
Then, Xia Linxing's direct shot playback volume was also increased. As we all know, the ranking of trainees' direct shots on the website is determined by the number of playbacks.
So - Xia Linxing's straight shot rankings continued to rise, and the number of views soon matched those of the trainees in Group A. As the ranking rose, the exposure and attention received also increased, and then -
Xia Linxing's online vote count also soared.
After all, people are here to have fun, so voting is just a matter of course.
Xia Linxing brought them happiness, so they reciprocated by bringing votes to Xia Linxing.
——How can this not be considered a “two-way rush”?
so……
"Instead of suspecting Xia Linxing of vote-rigging, you should suspect that Xia Linxing hired a marketing account to create publicity for himself..."
After all, Xia Linxing's votes were increasing rapidly as voting was about to close, and his ranking was rising rapidly. This abnormality was obvious to everyone. And there were fans of other trainees watching outside. Those experienced fans were not fools. Wouldn't they be able to tell that Xia Linxing was rigging the votes?
And until now, there has been no commotion outside, which means that Xia Linxing's number of votes is normal.
"I saw it too... The marketing account that posted the video actually edited several videos and posted them on their homepage."
It was obvious that the marketing account was casting a wide net, but in the end only Xia Linxing's video went viral.
Although the marketing account was not trying to build momentum for Xia Linxing, they were obviously reluctant to give up the traffic they had obtained, so the video was retained.
I can only say that Xia Linxing is really lucky.
Xia Linxing, who listened to the whole process...felt the same way.
Although his missions are always not completed due to some reasons, he is lucky to be able to live in this world!
Unfortunately, Xia Linxing's happiness only lasted until the next morning -
He looked at Xie Tinglan, who was standing in front of him to inform him of the news, with a bewildered look on his face. "Ah? Going to the haunted house to record today?"
