Chapter 195 Changes
For the entire fan base of the Fifth Quadrant group, whether they are fans of a single member, a group, or a couple, the whole October was busy and abrupt.
Whether it was the concert in early October, the others returning to school after the concert and Lu Yao starting the competition, or the guests at the ceremony and the honor of winning the championship, as well as the exposure of Lu Yao's life story at the end of the month, and the decision of him and Aoko Mashiro to drop out of school and repeat the year, everything happened one after another, leaving people unprepared.
After Yin Hongxue’s 18th birthday live broadcast, the entire October finally came to an end.
As November approached, the Fifth Brigade, which had been on air for more than two months, officially ended. The data was very good, especially the last two episodes, which were also included in the quarterly summary report of Green Ocean Film and Television.
Looking back over the past few months, the Fifth Band released their first EP and first album, and also held their first concert for six people.
The album performed very well, and the tens of thousands of seats at the concert were in short supply.
The sales of the first product she endorsed, Daifen, were good, and the brand was obviously very satisfied. Broadcasting stations and large screens were installed in various cities, and the commercial was played over and over again at the beginning of each platform.
The performance at the first gala was also very successful. Although they were in front of many seniors in the entertainment industry, they performed perfectly. They did not seem nervous at all, and there were almost no flaws, which gave the impression that they were relying on their own strength.
Taking stock of everything, the Fifth Regiment seems to be in great shape, which makes people look forward to it.
But fans always feel empty inside.
Perhaps it was due to the businesslike nature of their Weibo posts, but the members who appeared to be calm and dignified in their daily videos, decided to drop out without any prior notice...
Looking at the behind-the-scenes footage of Qiu Yuge wearing a suit and communicating with his seniors in a measured manner, some fans were surprised beyond everyone's expectations.
"Wow, wow, wow, baby, why are you growing up like this? Mommy won't allow it!"
This fan broke down and posted more than ten crying Weibo posts in a row, which attracted a lot of attention and caused a small discussion in the fan circle.
Some people even went to the forum to post articles.
[Will there really be people who break down due to the growth system? ]

I was inspired by reading the comments section of Qiu Yuge. I initially thought they were acting, but it turns out it was real?

It's so scary, how could it be so broken?

Huh? Why break down defenses? Isn't it a good thing for children to grow up and mature?

It's different from what you like.
According to my observation, Qiu Yuge's fans mostly like his well-behaved and obedient appearance. Although he looks cool, he smiles very sweetly. He used to show this state in front of the camera.
However, in the daily footage released by the company several times, Qiu Yuge was in a very calm state during the filming and recording. He didn't talk much and didn't smile. When talking to other seniors or staff, he didn't have the awkward feeling before his debut and looked very mature. However, his state in the program was almost the same as before.
His fans probably couldn't accept the contrast between before and after the camera, and before and after forming a group.

I don't quite understand
If there is a contrast between before and after the camera, doesn't Lu Yao always have a big contrast? His fans are not so vulnerable.
There are several others, Baiyou and Cangzi are really like that, and their fans don't seem to be that bad either.
And Yin Hongxue, who is notorious for being passive and lazy, is completely different on and off the stage
Maybe it's just Zhu Xiangming, there's no difference between before and after the camera

Actually, you are almost the same. I have finished explaining the reasons.
Yin Hongxue was slacking off before his debut, so even now he is still slacking off, but because fans already know that he is like this, those who can stay will not be broken by this.
As for other people, Lu Yao's fans had already left when the Fifth Era was broadcast, but he attracted a lot of fans because of the Fifth Era, and even attracted more fans than the fans who left. Those who like him in the Fifth Era naturally know what kind of person he is, and even like him like this.
As for Bai You and Cang Zizhen... their fans are still very vulnerable. I have seen a lot of them in the past few days, but they are all secretly, not openly like Qiu Yuge's fans.

I don't understand. If you like someone, shouldn't you like everything about him? Why would you fall for him just because he grows up, becomes mature, and becomes different from what you imagined?

It's just a star chase, there's no need to like everything about him.
In the final analysis, we fans have no way of knowing what kind of person he is. All we see is what the camera shows us, and our perception is already very one-sided. Now that we find that he is completely different from what he shows on camera, it is normal to feel disillusioned.

So how do we manage this feeling of unfamiliarity that comes with growing up? Or does it need no adjustment? If we can't accept it, it means we don't love them enough, and we need to leave immediately?

I didn't expect that the fifth group has only been out for a few months and they're already thinking about this kind of thing... How much can change in a few months? Are those who are upset overthinking it too much?

They have indeed changed a lot during this period, especially in the past two months since they started recording The Fifth Brigade. Maybe it’s because they have been exposed to the outside world, the changes are particularly great. Everyone gives me a different feeling.

You seem to have changed a bit now that you said that.
A few months ago, when I watched the footage or interactions between them during filming, they were like kids, all gathered together noisily playing some incomprehensible games. In the footage of the past two months, I feel like I haven't seen such shots. During the breaks, everyone just sat quietly, not to mention talking together, there were not many shots of them standing together.
In the past, when I clicked on their daily life, I only felt that they were noisy and had to step back several times before I could hear what they were saying.
Now when I see their daily life, I just think they are boring. How come they have nothing to say?
I used to think that they were too tired from work, so they just rested and didn't chat during their breaks, but now I think that at their age, they are at their most energetic, and no matter how tired they are, they will not be so tired that they don't even have the energy to say a word.
I think there has been a big change in mentality.

Yes, although these things are released after editing, and we don’t see the whole picture, we can still see some clues from the details.
The relationship between them is still good, even better. During this period, I have seen many times in these daily tidbits that they didn’t speak, but they knew what the other party was going to do with just one look. This would be impossible if they didn’t have enough understanding.
But at the same time, their methods and attitudes in dealing with things have indeed changed a lot, and I can't even find any trace of their past selves.
Just like this time Cang Zizhen and Bai You repeated their grades. Based on my understanding of them, I thought they were the least likely to repeat their grades, but they did it anyway.
In my opinion, Cang Zizhen is a typical pragmatist. He will rank everything and only do valuable and useful things. He will never consider things that are worthless or not cost-effective. Repeating a grade is undoubtedly a very low cost-effective thing for them.
It takes a lot of time to study, to prepare for the art exam again, and to spend several months in seclusion... In the first year of debut, after having already been admitted to university, spending another year to do this, and even dropping out of school to repeat the year when he is not sure what kind of university he can get into, this is not something that Cangzi would really do.
And Bai You, he has always been very goal-oriented and career-oriented. From his first public interview, he said that he wanted to be an idol, and he really is an idol.
He has been working hard for this over the years. In his mind, everything has a clear order of priority.
All things that are helpful for being an idol are undoubtedly at the forefront of his mind, such as dancing and singing. He will spend a lot of time learning and practicing.
For example, idols need to manage their appearance, so they can control their diet and maintain their figure for a long time.
As for studying, it is undoubtedly of little help to the idol's path. In his world, it is a dispensable thing. From his previous grades, it can be seen that he has hardly put too much thought into studying.
But now he has to repeat his studies?
I can't imagine

They've really changed a lot.
I couldn't believe it when I saw Bai You and Cang Zi were really going to repeat their studies. They didn't seem like the type of people who would do such a thing.

So many people say they have changed...why didn't I notice?
So is this change a good thing or a bad thing?

It's just a feeling. We can't see what they are like through the camera.
As for whether it is good or bad...I can't say
After all, the cultivation system is different from other idols. The distance between the cultivation system and fans is too close.
Before their debut, fans knew every trainee like the back of their hand.
As small as what time they get up in the morning, what time they go to bed at night, where they had dinner and what they ate yesterday
From big things like future plans to the schools they want to attend... fans know everything clearly.
This distance is too close
But now the distance has widened
The kids are growing up, but when and why? Fans have no idea
They can only glimpse the growth trajectory of a few months ago from the daily tidbits that are delayed for a month or even two months.
So what they feel is that everything was fine, so why did their idol suddenly change?
I became less talkative, less business-oriented, less cheerful, and even stopped playing my favorite games.
This sense of distance is normal for other types of idols. Fans don't know that much about themselves.
But the cultivation system is different. This kind of long-term companionship and understanding will breed a lot of control desires.
Once this desire for control is not satisfied, the defense is bound to break.
Judging from the previous generations, this kind of growth should be slow. After debuting, it takes one or two years to slowly build up a sense of distance. Once the fans are used to it, the distance will no longer be a problem.
But the Fifth Regiment came too quickly. It's only been a few months and it's already changed so much.
I feel like a lot of fans will leave next.
