Chapter 5 The host was angry and ran away! Have you done anything hateful today?
While replenishing materials these days, Li Xi also learned about some of To5's fan circle ecology through the barrage and comments on the videos.
Jiang Yilan's character relies solely on his looks, and he has as many fans as he does haters. He is not the most popular member in the group, but his fans have become very loyal, strong and willing to spend money after going through all kinds of bloody events. It was common for fans of popular boy bands to fight each other fiercely, and they would often suddenly start quarreling in the barrage. Li Xi was also fortunate enough to see the scene where four fans mocked Jiang Yilan together.
Li Xi also watched the debut video at that time. Jiang Yilan's silver hair made his debut and stunned everyone. In the solo video, he walked out slowly from the darkness, and the top light suddenly lit up. The camera cut directly to his face with heavy makeup but not at all inconsistent with it. The dark eye shadow and deliberately smudged lipstick made his already handsome face look even more androgynous.
In every subsequent stage performance, his makeup was always the heaviest in the team. The makeup that might look awkward on other men's faces, he could easily handle it.
The short single-player trailer of just over ten seconds attracted a lot of attention, with many people reposting and commenting, "Great! We are saved!"
The debut MV was released. The song was edited so it is hard to hear the true singing skills. The dance part was edited so the full shot time was not long. There was no practice room version of the dance either, but some people noticed something was wrong.
It wasn't until their first live performance that someone made a muted video without the backing sound, and it went viral again once it was released and forwarded. In addition, Jiang Yilan couldn't keep up with the beat, and many of the dance moves were messed up. Everyone laughed and said in despair: "That's great, we are hopeless!"
Of course, the company also knows his level, so his character has always been a "cultivation vase". Whether we can develop this habit or not is up for discussion later. As long as we have a topic, that’s enough.
But his appearance and figure are too outstanding. He comes from a wealthy family and has an arrogant personality, so many people fall for his charm. The derogatory name "Young Master" that was initially used to mock him was digested by fans and turned into a nickname.
Jiang Yilan made his debut amid huge controversy. Over the past two years, his skills have not improved much, but he has become an expert in how to communicate with fans.
Some people struggled in the beginning with the idea of "give him some time, he will improve", but ended up giving up directly in the end: "I still have my reputation, but he is just like this, so what? If you have the guts, kick him out of To5."
Some fans just blindly praised the team, some gave up, some were submissive, and some were completely incomprehensible to Li Xi. He asked Yuan Zhiyan, the encyclopedia of Internet memes, "Why do the ones who say the worst things also have to pay?"
Yuan Zhiyan answered him: "Haha! This is called humiliating pursuit! It's very mysterious!"
Li Xi: “?”
Yuan Zhiyan has been chatting with him these past two days. He is very interested in this Jiang Yilan who is completely different from before. He had once expressed his affection for Jiang Yilan, but Jiang Yilan just seemed too lazy to pay attention to him. Even though Yuan Zhiyan had a carefree personality, he didn't want to curry favor with someone who didn't like him.
If you observe the fan circle, you will definitely see people shipping CPs. Li Xi never expected that the most popular CP partner related to Jiang Yilan is actually Tang Ruining.
He thought it had to be at least Rong Xiao? Do Tang Ruining and Jiang Yilan usually care about each other? ?
Out of curiosity, he searched their names on Weibo and soon found their CP super topic. There are two types: "syrup" and "ginger candy", and Li Xi knows the difference. The super topic is full of life. There is not much sweet interaction between real people, but the fans' creative interest is extremely high, and it is full of food.
Li Xi really couldn't understand, so he simply went to ask Yuan Zhiyan again.
Li Xi: [Zhiyan, I have a question]
Yuan Zhiyan: [Please speak!] 】
Li Wei: [Why is my most popular couple with Tang Ruining? 】
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha] Yuan Zhiyan laughed for a long time, [because fans think you two love and hate each other]
【? 】
Yuan Zhiyan: [Tang Rui would rather bother you]
Li Xi: ...
[You are also annoyed by him] Yuan Zhiyan added considerately.
[You just show indifference to other people, but to him, no one wants to see the real thing, hahahaha]
[Brother Rong has had many private talks with you two because you acted too obviously.]
[But later I found out that the fans took a different approach and actually started shipping the two of you as a couple, and Rong didn’t bother to care anymore]
Yuan Zhiyan sent me a video, [Watch this]
Jiang Yilan clicked on it. It was a video clip with a lot of hits and comments. The title of the video was "Did Syrup Make Hate Today?" 》
I have reviewed many materials showing Jiang Yilan and Tang Ruining's deliberately avoided glances, their unwillingness to touch each other's bodies, and the disdain on their faces after they had to touch each other.
The material is very comprehensive, including behind-the-scenes footage, variety shows, and stage performances, all of which show the discord between the two.
The barrage of comments was filled with “I’m dying of addiction”.
...What on earth are you guys eating! ?
There is a part in the video where Jiang Yilan is acting coquettishly to his fans, while Tang Ruining is sneering in the background.
Barrage: [Tang Ruining's poker face will only make such a vivid expression when facing Jiang Yilan] [I wonder who dares to say that Lanlan is not special to him? 】【Tang Ruining, you must grass-feed Jiang Yilan when you go back】【Go away, Jiang Yilan is only doing 1】【Can you read the title in front, go to your Jiangtang video dance, okay? 】
The video ends with a very thoughtful shot of To5 hugging each other when they first won the award. Jiang Yilan and Tang Ruining happened to be standing close to each other, and they hugged each other in excitement. The streamers on the stage fluttered down and landed on them as a celebration decoration.
At times like this, personal grudges can be temporarily put aside, and happiness and emotion are the purest. The picture was deliberately slowed down several times, and the BGM was beautiful and touching, as if they were really close friends who had gone through thick and thin together, and understood everything about each other with a hug.
Barrage: [tears in my eyes][The dog outside the window can hear how loud I'm crying][If I don't take this, my life will be like this][555 "The hidden love is expressed to the fullest in a full house of guests"][trn hugged me so hard that veins appeared on my arms, he really loves me T_T]
Li Wei: ...I think he is angry.
Yuan Zhiyan: [So the fans of both of you are the ones fighting the most fiercely. It’s obvious that you two really don’t have a good relationship.]
Yuan Zhiyan: [At first everyone just did it for fun, but later many people started to feel really passionate about it! Now, half of you CP fans are there for fun, and half are really into it.]
Li Xi: ...
He hadn't had time to think about what "doing hate" meant just now, but after watching the video and looking at the title, he realized it.
In just a few days, Li Xi discovered that there were too many things in this world that were beyond his understanding.
One time was when he was reborn, and the other time is now...
He decided to stay away from the fans' creations and get closer to his teammates.
It happened to be Tang Ruining's live broadcast this afternoon, and Li Wei clicked in to watch it on time.
But what Li Xi didn't know was that when he used his own account to enter the member's live broadcast room, there would be a highlighted prompt on the side: [To5 Jiang Yilan V entered the live broadcast room]
[Am I dazzled?] Who's coming in? ? 】
[Jiang Yilan actually watched the members' live broadcasts. I don't know which is more shocking, this or that he can actually play the guitar]
[Ahhh, husband, you are here!] ! 】
[What damn bad luck.] . 】
Tang Ruining also noticed it. His originally calm expression relaxed a little and he soon frowned.
[Hahahaha, he frowned!] ! 】
[Husband, say something!] 】
[We are steaming and cooking in the same (live broadcast) room. No one will scold me if I take a bite, right? 】
Li Xi was a little embarrassed, but it was not a good time to leave immediately.
Tang Ruining pretended not to see it, greeted the fans and answered the questions in the comments as usual.
After a few minutes, Yuan Zhiyan also entered the live broadcast room.
[Yanyan baby! ! 】
[When will Yanyan go live?]
【I eat the stew】
Yuan Zhiyan: [Hello! 】【I will be live streaming in two days, remember to come and watch~】
Tang Ruining raised his eyes and said, "Zhi Yan is here."
[I'm dying of laughter so I just ignore Jyl, right? Okay, okay, okay]
[Our ginger candy still tastes like this, so delicious! 】
Yuan Zhiyan: [Brother Lan is here too, haha]
【Little Angel Yanyan will be nice to everyone】
[What do you mean? Our Yanyan seems to be here to help parents and children get back together.]
[Can you please get out of here and ship this couple? 】
[No, just a little bit]
Li Xi didn't know what to say to Yuan Zhiyan, so she just smiled, and received three warm smiles from Yuan Zhiyan.
Tang Ruining: "The tour has come to an end. Next, we will prepare for the recording of the new album and the filming of the MV."
He selected the comments and answered, "Yes, very soon. I can't reveal the exact time, but I can only reveal that the style is very different this time."
"Yeah, I've had dinner. Mom made it."
“Of course it’s delicious.”
"I've been at home these days, so others don't know."
Li Xi turned on the live broadcast, looked at a guitar score, and listened to Tang Ruining chatting with fans.
"I didn't teach you that," Tang Ruining's voice, which was a little colder, came from the video a few minutes later. "I can't play the guitar."
[Who asked this? Ruining knows how to play the ukulele. What a fake fan! 】
[Hahahaha, you don’t have to answer anything else, but anything related to Jiang Yilan must be clarified immediately! 】
If this isn't love. . Covering mouth and crying]
The person in the picture had a stern face. Li Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really hated Jiang Yilan.
Li Xi recalled the time when the five of them had a meeting. They were not familiar with each other. Tang Ruining sat opposite him, twirling a pen, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Xi looked up and met his gaze. They looked at each other. Li Xi smiled at him. Tang Ruining paused and also smiled faintly.
What was your mood at that time? I feel the future is promising and my teammates are all very good people. But they had no more contact later, and he was not selected for To5's debut. More than two years have passed, and Tang Ruining is still the same as Li Wei remembered.
Yuan Zhiyan: [No one taught Brother Lan, he learned it on his own, right Brother Lan?]
Li Xi had no choice but to answer: [Yeah, that’s right [haha]]
[Why can’t you three just broadcast live together while talking to each other from a distance? 】
【Actually, there was one person who was not invited [laughing and crying]】
【Pick out】
【cpgout】
Li Xi now deeply regrets not cutting in a smaller size.
Tang Ruining: "There is nothing special to say. There will be a group live broadcast before the return."
His expression had long since recovered, and he calmly ended the live broadcast, "It's over, bye. The weather is cold, everyone please keep warm and wear more clothes."
[My god, the anchor got mad and ran away]
[jyl, you have done so many bad things! 】
[It’s a tonic!] Take some tonic medicine, husband! ! 】
Tang Ruining always ends his live broadcast very decisively and will not linger too long to say goodbye to his fans. Three seconds later, the screen went black.
Li Xi: ...Isn’t it true that he left because of me?
