Chapter 167 That's not a middle part, it's fashion.
Girls' dormitory.
"Wow, Youyou, you posted another video without saying a word!"
Xia Youyou's female roommate had been following her on Weibo for a long time, and even on a special basis, so she saw Xia Youyou's Weibo post as soon as she posted it.
Upon hearing her female roommate's words, Nie Qiuqin quickly picked up her phone and took a look. When she saw the headline, they all froze on the spot.
"So Tianyi even held a concert in South Korea."
My roommates asked incredulously, "Were going abroad to hold concerts really this casual back then?"
"That's true, but Youyou, isn't your title a bit misleading? Aren't you afraid of getting attacked by haters?" her roommate said with some concern.
"Please, sister, this isn't something I made up; it's actually true. If you don't believe me, ask Qiuqin." Xia Youyou gave a wry smile after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, the two turned to look at Nie Qiuqin. Nie Qiuqin put down her phone, nodded, and said, "Of course it's true. I only found out about this later."
"ah……"
However, both roommates were surprised to hear Nie Qiuqin's words.
One of her roommates asked, "Qiuqin, don't you love cold fronts? How do you know about this?"
"That was before. Now I like both Hanliu and Hualiu. And Youyou is right. Zhou Tianyi was indeed included in Hanliu's textbooks back then."
Nie Qiuqin stated truthfully.
"Hey, judging from your tone, you seem to know about this. Tell me about it." Her roommate noticed the nonchalance in Nie Qiuqin's voice.
She was indeed different from before; she no longer rejected Chinese culture, which surprised the two of them.
"Actually, Qiuqin told me about this video, which is why I had the opportunity to make it for everyone to watch."
At this point, Xia Youyou added.
"It's not as amazing as Youyou said. I just discovered it by chance. Zhou Tianyi is quite popular in South Korea," Nie Qiuqin said modestly.
"Then tell us quickly, what exactly is this about being written into the textbook?" The two looked at Nie Qiuqin expectantly.
Nie Qiuqin nodded, cleared her throat lightly, behaving like a renowned teacher, and then said:
"Actually, this happened after the cold wave invaded China. Zhou Tianyi resisted the cold wave on his own."
"As you all know, the cold wave was defeated. Didn't someone say before that the Chinese current was turning against the cold wave?"
"The person didn't go into detail about this part at the time, but strictly speaking, this part is the most exciting."
"After Zhou Tianyi defeated the cold wave, the news inevitably reached South Korea and attracted widespread attention from the South Korean media."
"Whether in the mainstream media or in all levels of society in South Korea, no one believed the news at the time, thinking that the media was fabricating it."
"But when those singers who initially made a big splash by announcing their plans to develop their careers in China returned to South Korea with their faces covered in dust."
"The authenticity of this news has been confirmed by more and more people."
"This quickly caused a huge uproar in South Korea, with countless media outlets criticizing these singers who went to China to develop their careers, believing that they had disgraced South Korea."
"Many fans even held protests in the streets and alleys, strongly demanding that the entertainment industry ban these singers who spread rumors."
"Of course, the attempt was unsuccessful, but it still had an impact on these singers. Some of them developed depression because of this incident and disappeared from the South Korean music scene."
Nie Qiuqin recounted the events that happened in another country back then, as if she knew them by heart.
When they heard fans protesting, the two roommates looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they knew it was a compliment, they thought it was just too ridiculous.
"What happens next?" the two roommates asked in unison.
"After that... well, you've all probably heard of the 'it's actually good' principle, right?"
“Even South Korean audiences can’t escape this rule,” Nie Qiusheng said with a chuckle.
"As more and more news about the conflict between the Chinese current and the cold current enters the country."
"Countless unsuspecting South Koreans then realized that it wasn't that these singers were bad, but that the opposing team was too strong."
"In this way, relying on his reputation for single-handedly fighting half of the cold wave, Zhou Tianyi quickly opened up the market in the cold wave."
"You should know that Chinese pop music was also very popular in South Korea at that time. Moreover, many of Zhou Tianyi's songs were very avant-garde and contained Western elements."
"Therefore, he is very popular among young people. In particular, Zhou Tianyi, in order to seize the South Korean market, actually wrote songs for movies, which made all South Koreans remember this big boy."
"The movie is called A Moment of Romance. By today's standards, it's an old-fashioned movie about a princess falling in love with a hoodlum. But thanks to the songs in it, the movie became a hit in South Korea."
"It was precisely because of this movie that Zhou Tianyi's fame in South Korea was no less than that of any top-tier singer, which laid the foundation for him to hold concerts."
As Nie Qiuqin spoke, she couldn't help but smile at the expectant looks in her two roommates' eyes.
The two of them looked even more attentive than if they were in class, and even Xia Youyou, who was standing next to them, was listening intently.
Upon seeing this, Nie Qiuqin continued:
"Finally, his fame caught the attention of South Korean entertainment companies, who traveled a long distance to find Zhou Tianyi and invited him to participate in variety shows."
"This was one of the most popular variety shows in South Korea at the time, and every celebrity who appeared on this show was a household name in South Korea."
"At the invitation of a South Korean entertainment company, Zhou Tianyi appeared on a variety show, and he spoke entirely in Chinese throughout the program."
"Such a unique variety show effect can be described as having both good and bad aspects, but it must be said that his unique style has left a deep impression on South Korean netizens."
"This also led to an unprecedented success after he announced his concert, with the streets packed with people."
"Do you think there were many people who attended his concert back then?"
At this point, Nie Qiuqin suddenly paused and asked a question.
"Could it also be 100,000?" one of the roommates exclaimed.
However, Nie Qiuqin shook her head and said, "There is no 100,000, only 80,000."
"Oh." The two of them couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing that.
This left Xia Youyou, who had been listening silently, feeling rather helpless, and she couldn't help but find the expressions on their faces amusing.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's with those expressions?"
"Eighty thousand is not a small amount, okay? Don't think that Tianyi makes one hundred thousand for every concert."
"Sigh, it's always the same old story about 100,000, which makes us subconsciously think it will be 100,000 this time too."
"Yes, it's all your fault. You made us think that 100,000 was a given."
Listening to their two roommates' arguments, Xia Youyou and Nie Qiuqin felt ashamed. What did this have to do with them? Blame Zhou Tianyi!
"How was the concert?" my roommate asked.
"The effect was naturally unprecedented and stunning. You can't tell from the concert alone, but do you know what?"
"After the concert, Zhou Tianyi's clothes and pants sold out in South Korea."
"His middle-part hairstyle at the concert has become the most popular hairstyle in South Korea at the moment."
“In South Korea, 80 percent of men have copied his hairstyle and clothing style.”
