Chapter 24 Chapter 24 B Station Hot Video (2 more)
[Chapter 24, UP host from Station B]
After FTM debuted yesterday, Taohe’s official Weibo posted their performance video, and Shengyao followed up with promotion and promotion, making the entry #FTM Boys Group Officially Debuted Today# briefly appear in the top ten of the hot search list.
Because there were more than a dozen singers participating in the concert yesterday, and a fashion magazine was also doing a red carpet team-building for celebrities, a large number of celebrities needed to be exposed and promoted, and the entries on the hot search list kept changing. They only stayed for half an hour before leaving.
Fang Yinnian didn’t have high expectations for this wave of publicity. Gaining over 100,000 followers would be enough to make him happy for a long time.
How come during the time I had a meal with my parents, there was suddenly so much attention and comments?
The mention of "Bilibili" in the message reminded the two of them. Mo Xun quickly said, "Log in to my Bilibili account to see what's going on."
Fang Yinnian brought his laptop with him this time. The two of them opened the laptops and sat together at the desk in the hotel. Fang Yinnian found Bilibili from the commonly used websites.
Mo Xun had previously shared his Bilibili account with him and even remembered the login password. As soon as Fang Yinnian opened Bilibili, he automatically logged into Mo Xun’s account, whose ID was “MX_0727”.
Fang Yinnian clicked on the “Popular” category on the homepage.
The video ranked first is titled "The lifeless Chinese music scene finally has some freshness", the UP owner's name is "Venomous Snake Spicy Comments", and it was posted at 7 o'clock this morning. The number of views has exceeded 1 million, and the number of barrages and comments is quite impressive.
The second to tenth places are all videos complaining about movies and TV series, reviews of this week’s new games, etc., which have little to do with them.
Mo Xun frowned: "This most popular video, isn't it scolding us? Click in and take a look."
Fang Yinnian quickly clicked on the video.
At the beginning of the video, there is a cute little snake head icon and a young boy's voice that has been mechanically processed: "Hello everyone, I am the UP host Venomous Snake Hot Review. I edited this video overnight. I really can't help but say a few words. I didn't sleep all night last night and was so sleepy. I finally recorded the video. Considering that I worked all night to make the video, I beg you to click three times in a row. Thank you~"
"I usually like to complain about some singers in the Chinese music scene who can only yell and scream, and don't know what to sing. Today, let's talk about a new boy band."
"Yes, it's the FTM that debuted yesterday."
"..." Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian looked at each other and became nervous at the same time.
It's over. The poisonous-tongued UP hosts at Bilibili are the most terrifying. They criticize actors' acting skills and singers' singing skills without mercy, and can criticize people so badly that they feel ashamed and want to quit the circle on the spot.
Fang Yinnian clenched his fingers gently, waiting for the UP host's criticism.
Unexpectedly, Viper Brother didn't scold them directly. Instead, he said, "Let me sum it up in one sentence. This band's singing is good. Yes, it's quite good. I won't talk about other bands. Their fans have yelled at me several times... Is what they sing called singing?"
The barrage area was filled with a row of “Hahahaha” and “UP host, you are trying to kill yourself.”
"FTM, For the music, is short for music group. Five people played harmony music, played the piano and made their debut very elegantly in suits. I was shocked when I saw the video last night - how dare the Chinese entertainment industry set up a harmony music group? Who is so bold!"
"Oh, Shengyao! I just scolded that guy from Shengyao for his pretentious singing two days ago. Today I am just giving an objective review. I hope I won't receive a lawyer's letter from Shengyao."
The barrage area was filled with comments such as "Protect our UP host", "Freedom of evaluation", and "Don't be a star if you don't dare to listen to bad reviews".
The UP host continued: "Shengyao is a company that started out as a music company. I was quite looking forward to seeing them form a music group, so I watched the FTM performance video several times, processed it with technology, and cut out a pure vocal version."
"Next, please enjoy the singing skills of these newbies after the accompaniment is removed."
Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun: “…………”
These UP hosts are really versatile, and they have mastered all the techniques for piano, string and other accompaniments. Only pure vocals are left, which is equivalent to everyone singing a cappella!
It is easy to hear the breath control, timbre texture, and singing level of a cappella singing without the accompaniment, especially at those evening parties where the accompaniment is particularly loud and the singer's voice is relatively soft. It may sound okay at first, but it is a disaster for the ears once the accompaniment is removed.
Fortunately, they debuted yesterday with piano and singing, and after removing the accompaniment... it's still listenable.
Fang Yinnian's voice trembled slightly at first, but soon stabilized. The following chorus is sung by everyone a cappella, and any flaws in articulation and pronunciation will be infinitely magnified.
Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun listened to the song in silence.
Uh… I thought my performance was pretty good yesterday, but now that I’ve removed the accompaniment and listened to it objectively, I realize they didn’t sing that well…
The two of them broke out in cold sweats as they listened to it. The UP host really analyzed and criticized every word.
During the line where the two people sang in harmony, the UP host suddenly paused, then rewound and played it again, saying: "My favorite part of the whole song is the two lines where Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian sang in harmony. The combination of one bright and one dark is very catchy."
The two people who were praised looked at each other, both flattered.
Many viewers praised the song, while others mocked it and said it was unpleasant, and the two sides started arguing in the barrage.
What’s so good about it? Like the sound of a cow.
[Pure vocals are pretty good, right? 】
[Some music critics should not be too outrageous]
[It sounds better with accompaniment. After all, I'm a newbie and there's still a lot of room for improvement.]
[This band is at least audible. Why not try removing the accompaniment for other bands? 】
The UP host then complained: "Their singing skills are indeed at the level of beginners, immature and immature, without many techniques. Fu Fei's transitions are very floating, and Tang Che's falsetto switching is not smooth enough; Tan Junwen has a good timbre, but his pitch is ridiculously poor, and the last two sentences are almost out of tune."
"Mo Xun's voice is a pure bass, which is quite rare in the music world. He can sing super bass and can make Fang Yinnian stand out particularly brightly. However, his pronunciation is not clear enough, and it is difficult to hear what he is singing when the voice is too low."
"Fang Yinnian's strength is his good pitch, but his weakness is that he has no singing skills, he is straightforward, he uses his voice purely to express emotions, and his handling of high notes is not delicate enough."
"My comments are always rather harsh. Later I thought about it carefully. This is a new band that just debuted. They can't compete with the experienced first-line singers. Newcomers still have a lot of room for improvement. It's not bad for a newly debuted band to sing like this, right? At least it's listenable, right?"
A pop-up window appeared in front of me - How many stars do you think the debut performance of the new boy group FTM can get?
A large number of four-star and five-star comments appeared in the barrage area. Among them, five-star ratings account for more than 70%.
Without exaggeration or understatement, this level is indeed pretty good as he has just debuted.
"This backing vocal group is quite new. I haven't seen them before. I searched for information about these people last night. Is it because I am ignorant that I don't know any of them? The result of the search shocked my whole family - this is really the most hastily debuted boy band in the history of domestic entertainment."
There was a row of comments in the barrage area, hahaha.
[I also thought it was so hasty and outrageous when I saw the trending searches yesterday]
[Airborne Group, the first in domestic entertainment]
[Without any warm-up at all, they debuted right away. Is this what you want? 】
[To say they were airborne is a bit of an exaggeration. They didn’t even have parachutes. They were dropped directly from the air.]
[The boy band that dropped from the sky, so funny]
[Shengyao said: We don’t need to develop when playing games, we just use the ultimate to push the base at the beginning]
[Five newbies said: Sorry, we haven’t learned the ultimate move yet]
【Ha ha ha ha】
Fang Yinnian laughed when he read the comments. The B station army really maxed out their talent for complaining.
The UP host continued, "Normally, boy bands should take the idol route to cultivate fans, right? But this group is different. Before their debut, except for Tan Junwen who participated in "Young Rap Class" and took third place, the others were not exposed online at all."
A clip of Tan Junwen participating in a rap competition last year was inserted here. He was quite handsome and attracted a lot of exclamations from the comment section.
“I really can’t find any performance videos of the other four!”
"A group of unknown amateurs formed a team and trained for a month before being sent to debut. I am really impressed by this makeshift team of Shengyao."
The barrage section was filled with comments like “grassroots team”.
Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian silently gave a thumbs up in their hearts.
Do you think it's sloppy?
Yes, we felt it was sloppy ourselves.
The UP host changed the subject: "I don't know if Shengyao's top management is seriously ill. They suddenly pushed out a backing vocal group. All the members are amateurs with no fan base. It's so weird to directly airdrop them to debut."
“But I have to say, I think this group will be very popular!”
"I won't comment on their looks, but their voices are very recognizable. When the five of them are together, it feels like a tank + damage dealer + healer fighting together. Do you understand?"
"The different voices complement each other, set off each other, and blend together very harmoniously. If they improve their singing skills, they will definitely be able to continue - because they are unique in the domestic entertainment industry."
"I was actually very surprised when I heard it yesterday. Capital is best at copying and worst at innovation. Shengyao dared to form a harmony group. No matter what the result is, this courage is worth affirming."
"I would like to officially recommend FTM, a very interesting boy band. Their debut is the most refreshing and surprising thing in the Chinese music scene this year. You can buy some shares to see how they develop in the future."
"They debuted without any original songs, music videos, or pre-release, and just sang a cover of a pop song. It was so sloppy that I couldn't stand it. I hope they can also sing their original songs well in the future. I will continue to pay attention to them."
Here is a follow-up to the "I noticed you" emoticon pack.
Many people in the barrage section were joking.
[UP Master, you are just like a water army]
[This must be a paid advertisement, right? 】
【Take Amway and search for it】
[I searched their official account, but they only released a concert video. They are really a makeshift group hahaha]
[Can I get into the trap by buying stock fans? 】
[I will lie down at the bottom of the pit first, and when they become popular, I will be the veteran]
[I looked at the Weibo data of these five people, they are so pitiful, let’s follow them in friendship]
[The official Weibo has only a few hundred thousand followers, not even a fraction of other groups. I'll follow it as well]
…
This UP host has millions of fans and is a very famous complaining UP host on Bilibili. After he posted the video in the morning, the number of views, barrage, and comments increased wildly, quickly becoming the most popular one and attracting more passers-by to click in and watch.
The popularity of the video continued to soar, and as a result, all five FTM members gained attention.
After watching the video, Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun looked at each other.
Fang Yinnian said seriously: "His comments are not wrong. Our singing skills are indeed too immature."
Mo Xun said helplessly: "It's not a good thing to be targeted by this kind of complaining UP host. He often mutes the accompaniment in post-processing and amplifies the singer's original voice to complain. I guess every performance of ours will be cut out by him and judged word by word."
Fang Yinnian was very calm: "If you sing well, you won't be afraid of being judged. If you don't sing well, it's normal to be scolded, right?"
Mo Xun thought about it and it made sense. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Anyway, he has complained about more than half of the singers in the Chinese music scene. He complained about Tao Yizhou's pretentious singing a while ago and was attacked by Tao Yizhou's fans."
Fang Yinnian asked curiously, "Do these UP hosts make a living from video traffic?"
Mo Xun said: "Well, videos with high traffic can make money, and some advertisers ask them to promote them. I don't know the specific share."
Fang Yinnian thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to make videos all night long, and he has recommended us to many fans. Can I use your account to give him a like and invest some coins?"
Mo Xun: "...You won't still pay attention to him, right?"
Fang Yinnian smiled and said, "Pay attention to him. If he complains about us again in the future, you can find out about it first."
Mo Xun was speechless. Fang Yinnian has a really good attitude. He was not angry at all when the accompaniment was removed and his singing skills were criticized. Instead, he liked and coined the post, and also followed the UP host.
At the same time, Fu Fei exclaimed in the group: "Brothers! A UP host on Bilibili complained about our video and it became popular!"
Mo Xun replied in the group: "Yin Nian and I just finished watching it."
Tan Junwen gave a thumbs up: "You two are really fast."
Xu Baichuan popped up and said, "I watched that video, too. Yesterday's promotion focused more on Weibo, and no money was spent on promotion on other platforms. It's a good thing that some followers paid attention to you."
"A forum entertainment group was also discussing you guys last night, turning a post into a hot topic. Most of the replies were about how you are a makeshift group, how your debut was so sudden, your looks are okay, and whether you can buy shares."
Five people: “…”
No wonder a bunch of “stock buying fans” suddenly appeared on Weibo.
They all came from other platforms.
Just like if you think a certain stock will rise in the future, you buy it when the price is low - fans in the entertainment industry who buy stocks will also often keep an eye on newcomers, and if they think that some newcomers have better development prospects, they will buy shares and continue to pay attention.
FTM made their debut very suddenly yesterday, dropping into the concert as a "surprise easter egg" at 10pm. Although their debut entry was on the hot search list, the hot search list was crowded with people, so they quickly dropped down.
After a night of fermentation of public opinion, the complaints of UP hosts on Bilibili became popular, and the discussions in the entertainment group became hot posts. These relatively "lagging" traffic all poured into Weibo today.
Today, the five of them gained a lot of attention again.
Currently, Fang Yinnian is the first to break 200,000 fans, and the others are between 150,000 and 200,000.
Fang Yinnian didn’t know whether this data was good or not.
He asked in the group: "Brother Xu, how is the speed of our followers increasing?"
Xu Baichuan said: "It far exceeded expectations."
Fu Fei popped up and said, "The male and female protagonists of the summer hit dramas only gained hundreds of thousands of followers a day, and at most over 200,000. Brother Nian, this is equivalent to a small explosion! If we go by 'single-day increase in followers', all of us would be among the top few on Weibo today."
Xu Baichuan said: "Xiao Fei is right, but don't be too happy too soon. An actor can become a big traffic star with just one hit drama. You must continue to show your face, have more works and exposure, in order to retain more fans."
Everyone understands that it is even harder to stand out in the music industry.
What's more, for a boy band like them that mainly sings, they have no reference points in front of them and have to figure out the way forward on their own.
Xu Baichuan said, "After returning to Jiangzhou, continue to practice vocal music and dance lessons to lay a solid foundation. I won't let you take part in music variety shows for the time being, you are not qualified yet, let's talk about it next year. The next variety show has already been discussed."
Mo Xun immediately asked, "Brother Xu, what variety show is it?"
Xu Baichuan said: "It's a variety show where teams play games together. You can relax for a while and just be a guest for one episode. The recording time is Friday night, August 30th."
Today is the 19th, which is 11 days later.
Since it's a game-playing variety show, there shouldn't be any problem. At least it won't be criticized or judged, right?
Fang Yinnian thought with a relaxed mood.
