Chapter 149 The Overly Exaggerated Accompaniment
Xiao Ming was browsing Bilibili out of boredom.
He doesn't use short video platforms like Douyin or Kuaishou, nor does he use social media platforms like Weibo or Bihu.
He has a particular fondness for Bilibili, but he rarely watches anime on it.
During his rare moment of rest, after watching all the videos from the bloggers he followed and then watching the popular videos, he suddenly became bored.
Frustrated, he idly refreshed the page, merely glancing at the titles before losing interest completely.
Big data can indeed be used to target specific videos, but it's still too naive for Xiaoming.
After watching several types of the same videos, he lost interest in them.
"Huh..."
As he flipped through the pages, Xiaoming's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a video that caught his attention.
However, because the refresh was too fast, the video disappeared instantly.
This made Xiaoming somewhat regretful; if he wasn't mistaken, the video had piqued his interest.
"I almost got fooled by the clickbait headline again. How come there's not a single word about something this big?"
But then I thought, Zhou Tianyi singing at a concert is news that's sure to go viral, how could no one care?
He concluded that this was definitely a marketing tactic used by a marketing account, with the sole purpose of attracting attention.
Thinking this way, Xiaoming felt relieved and no longer regretted missing the video.
He kept refreshing the video feed, but after a while, he completely lost interest.
Suddenly, he turned over and his finger accidentally touched the search box.
When he turned his attention back to his phone, his expression became one of utter astonishment.
"It's not fake!"
The search history of trending topics prominently features: "Zhou Tianyi's new song".
He couldn't wait to click in and saw a clear video.
It lasted a full three minutes!
When was this video taken?
Xiao Ming was very curious, wondering why he had never heard of Zhou Tianyi releasing a new song.
With this curiosity, Xiaoming clicked on the video and discovered that it was not Zhou Tianyi's solo performance at all, but Dr. Chen's solo performance.
"Wow, Zhou Tianyi is singing a new song at Dr. Chen's concert!"
Upon receiving this result, Xiaoming was filled with remorse.
You should know that he managed to snag a ticket, but because he rarely listens to Dr. Chen's songs, he didn't hesitate to give it to his roommate.
As a result, my favorite singer was performing a new song at someone else's concert. I was so disappointed...
Xiao Ming listened to Zhou Tianyi's new song with tears in his eyes, but as he listened, his expression changed.
It wasn't because the a cappella version was bad, but because he felt as if he heard Zhou Tianyi's experiences in the song.
He composed himself, dispelled his doubts, and refocused his attention on the song, listening quietly as if he were experiencing it himself.
"This song is very nice, but for some reason, listening to it makes me feel both happy and sad."
After listening, Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh.
He hadn't experienced much himself, and he was a college student, but he could still empathize deeply.
Unable to control himself, Xiaoming clicked to repeat the playback.
It's a very strange feeling; you feel terrible, yet you can't help but want to listen.
However, when he turned his gaze to the screen, he was suddenly surprised to find that the number of people watching the video online had exceeded 100,000.
The second time around, it wasn't as detached as before; instead, there were many more comments, all checking in on the new song.
"This song is so beautiful, I feel like my ears are pregnant."
"Tianyi is rarely serious. His style has changed so much that I can't keep up with him at all."
"This song is dedicated to us, and also to himself; it's a song about himself."
"Even without accompaniment, I was completely absorbed. Zhou Tianyi is just too amazing!"
After listening to the song for the second time, Xiaoming felt completely different from the first time, and his admiration for Zhou Tianyi deepened.
This is a song that evokes different feelings every time you listen to it. By the time you listened to it for the third time, the video had already been tagged as trending.
Xiaoming wasn't surprised at all; on Bilibili, any video about Zhou Tianyi gets unusually high popularity.
His fans on Bilibili are no less than those on Douyin, and he has unknowingly captured the hearts of many teenagers.
Soon, the trending video began to spread like wildfire on Bilibili, its speed no less than that of a level 9 hurricane.
It's not just Bilibili; Douyin, Kuaishou, Donggua, Weibo, Bihu... almost every platform where videos can be uploaded has been swept up by Zhou Tianyi's a cappella videos.
However, what is most shocking is not that Zhou Tianyi dominated the screens on major platforms, but that major music platforms received countless responses when the video went viral.
Manager Zhou complained in the group chat: "Damn, I'm really fed up with these fans. They keep coming to our back office looking for songs."
"The copyright of the songs sung by Tianyi is still with Tianyi. Why are you asking us why we haven't released any new songs yet?"
"Is this something I can decide? If anyone should ask, it should be Tianyi. There are tens of thousands of feedback messages in the backend urging us to launch it quickly, or they'll complain about us."
"..."
Listening to Manager Zhou's complaints, the three of them burst into laughter, and then told Manager Zhou that they were also among those who provided feedback.
Manager Zhou fell silent; he just wanted some peace and quiet.
Within half a day, the popularity of Zhou Tianyi's new song soared to the top of the trending searches, directly surpassing Jin Ziyao's popularity.
There's no way around it; Zhou Tianyi already has a huge fan base, and now that they know he's releasing a new song, all his fans are getting restless.
