Chapter 377 The trending topics exploded, and the entire internet mocked Ye Xi [1 update]
At the same time, all the camera positions that had been following the clouds and the moon were also moved.
The lift platform that holds the piano is slowly moving towards the center.
One of the cameras was pointed at the person playing the piano.
Whether it was fans sitting below to show their support or fans watching the live stream, they could clearly see the girl's face.
Her phoenix eyes were misty with tears, clear and beautiful.
Her features were delicate, yet she exuded a sense of languor.
Her original long black hair was styled this time, with a few strands dyed dark blue.
Against her fair skin, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The mentors' seats faced the stage directly, and Xu Tangzhou's heart started pounding uncontrollably, making a "thump thump thump" sound that he couldn't stop.
Undeniably, there are some people who, just by standing there, are born to shine.
The audience fell silent; everyone forgot to applaud and stared at the girl, lost in thought.
Chen Li could hardly believe it, and for the first time lost her composure: "How is this possible?!"
Isn't Ying Zijin a genius student?
Why do some people have piano skills that rival those of professionals?
Ye Xi's expression also changed drastically. Her fingers suddenly tightened, gripping Chen Li's clothes, and her voice trembled slightly: "Sister Li, how could it be her?"
Chen Li was in no mood to answer Ye Xi's question; she only felt her hands and feet were ice cold.
Because not long ago, she had the marketing account release a press release.
But now, the person playing the piano is Ying Zijing.
what to do?
The fans below finally realized what was happening and went wild, screaming all around.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Honey, ahhh!"
"Get out! This is my wife!"
What kind of person is most attractive?
She's good-looking and talented.
Most importantly, there can be more than one.
The moment Ying Zijing appeared, the vote count changed.
"As you all probably already know before the performance, Teacher Ying is He Yue's guest performer." As one of the initiators of the boy group, Xie Manyu is responsible for controlling the direction of the show. "However, Teacher Ying had some personal matters to attend to today, so he is late."
She turned to the audience and smiled slightly: "But, this is a surprise, isn't it?"
The screams below became even more frantic.
“I was surprised too.” Qin Lingyu spoke up at this moment, raising her eyebrows and smiling, “I didn’t expect Teacher Ying to play the piano. It seems I had the foresight to reserve Teacher Ying as the female lead in my music video in advance.”
"Otherwise, I don't know how many people would be competing with me for the talent after today's show airs."
The fans went crazy again.
The comments section was flooded with messages.
[Holy crap!!! My husband and my new wife are going to collaborate on a music video?!]
[I'm dead, I'm dead! This is divine intervention! I need nitroglycerin!]
【Yu Zai, Ying Bao, Mommy loves you!】
[Where are those people who said the pianist wasn't a hater of Ying Shen? Why aren't they showing up anymore? Do you really think your idol has that much talent? Isn't it just because he's a guest performer? Sorry, our Ying Shen is much more amazing [smile]]
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's expression changed again, and she gritted her teeth: "That Qin Lingyu!"
Qin Lingyu's words seemed insignificant; they were merely an interaction with Ying Zijin.
But with just this one interaction, Qin Lingyu's fans will vote for Yun and Yue.
This is the fan effect.
Qin Lingyu's fans are arguably among the most loyal in the entertainment industry; most of them don't even have a second favorite celebrity, let alone a second idol.
Tianxing Entertainment conducted a special study on this phenomenon and found that it was because Qin Lingyu was so beautiful that fans had higher standards, resulting in fewer people being able to find someone she liked.
"We'll leave the rest of the time to Teacher Ying," Xie Manyu said. "Please."
Yun and Yue handed the microphone to the girl.
"Thank you everyone." Ying Zijin was always concise in public, not saying a single unnecessary word. "I'm a bit rushed today, so please vote for He Yue."
After the guests finished their performances, they would all say things to help the contestants garner votes.
Even Hua Yin, a top male celebrity, spoke for at least a minute, showing great sincerity.
This is the only way to mobilize fans to vote.
However, Ying Zijin's words were as if she hadn't said anything at all, and were rather perfunctory.
But this did not stop Yun and Yue's votes from skyrocketing.
Earlier, after the piano music started playing, Yunheyue's votes had already begun to rise.
In just five short minutes, she staged a remarkable comeback, gaining a staggering four million votes.
The rankings naturally changed.
No.1 Clouds and Moon 36093849
No.2 Feng Tong35492812
Hua Yin was also sitting in the audience. After seeing the new rankings, his expression changed.
The agent sighed, "As expected, what I feared has happened."
Yun and Yue are strong enough; they were originally destined for the center position with overwhelming strength.
Even with Hua Yin's help in campaigning, Feng Tong couldn't surpass Yun Heyue by much, but he could at least be one step ahead.
But now that Ying Zijing has joined the fray, and with Qin Lingyu's publicity efforts, there's simply no way to turn the tide.
It could be said that this second performance directly determined their fate.
In the final seven members of "Youth 202", Yun and Yue will only be the center and captain.
The agent shook his head and said, "As long as he debuts, he will definitely be a top star."
To debut as a top star, only Qin Lingyu has achieved this feat in China so far.
Hua Yin's expression was inscrutable. He turned off his phone and said in a calm tone, "The company will not let this matter go easily."
He himself came from a talent show, and the clouds and moon are the same as his.
In the future, there will inevitably be competition for resources between the two of them, which is not good news for him.
He debuted at 20, became a top star at 22, and is now 25. It has to be said that he has already started to decline.
If the impact of clouds and moon is added to the mix, he will probably soon lose his traffic.
The agent nodded and reminded, "We absolutely cannot be like Chen Li. She was too confident and kept releasing press releases to put others down."
"Ye Xi is really unlucky. He's not very bright to begin with, and then he ran into Chen Li."
"After today's show, Ye Xi will completely fall from her top position."
Although both are artists under Tianxing Entertainment, they work in different fields and have little interaction.
He didn't care: "He's gone."
The agent nodded and left with him.

Next came the new round of evaluations, and Ying Zijin stepped down from the stage.
She has a private dressing room, and after removing her makeup, she plans to get something to eat.
My cheeks suddenly felt hot.
Ying Zijin looked up.
Fu Yunshen held a cup of hot orange juice against his face and then stuffed a hand warmer into her arms.
"Little one, aren't you cold?" He straightened up, his almond-shaped eyes lifting slightly. "Why are you wearing a skirt today? Don't you dislike it?"
"Oh." Ying Zijing paused, her expression languid. "Because I suddenly realized that the dress is quite pretty too."
The reason she has never liked wearing skirts is because they are inconvenient for her to use her hands.
Even her shoes are only flat.
Fu Yunshen took a step back, his gaze slightly lowered, and chuckled softly, "It is quite beautiful."
The girl was wearing a black dress and had a perfect figure, easily comparable to international models.
He's definitely not a child anymore.
Ying Zijing picked up her down jacket and put it on: "Let's go, I'm hungry."
After leaving the ancient martial arts world, she returned to the hotel and slept until night, thankfully making it in time.
“I heard someone calling you—” Fu Yunshen naturally took the bag from her hand and walked out together, a half-smile on his face, “Husband.”
He sat in the audience, surrounded by screams from fans that were almost deafening.
“You can call me that too.” Ying Zijing paused, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t mind.”
“That won’t do,” Fu Yunshen said calmly. “If I’m going to call someone, I’ll call them ‘Old Man’—”
"Yingbao!" a voice filled with joy rang out, "Yingbao, it really is you."
Fu Yunshen paused, then turned his head.
She was a middle school student, and her eyes lit up: "Yingbao, I just saw you playing the piano, you're really amazing."
As she spoke, she pulled out a small notebook and said shyly, "I'm your new fan, can I get your autograph?"
She came to wait there right after school, and she didn't expect to actually be able to catch someone.
Ying Zijing took the pen and wrote down her name.
The little fan, her eyes sparkling, clenched her fist and exclaimed, "Yingbao, Mommy loves you!"
After shouting, she happily hugged her schoolbag and ran away.
"..."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then said, "She seems to be younger than me."
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes and smiled: "Mommy fans are better than girlfriend fans."
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "I didn't think so."
She finally understood why Shang Yaozhi was speechless when he saw fans calling him "baby".
She couldn't accept it either.
**
The performance went very smoothly, and the results far exceeded the production team's expectations.
After the performance, the trending topics exploded instantly, occupying all ten spots in the top search rankings.
#Ying Zijin, Divine Piano#
#Ying Zijin and Qin Lingyu, music video collaboration#
#Ying Shen, she really is a god#
I hereby declare that, besides Yu-zai, I finally have someone else I can follow.
[She's academically gifted and plays the piano—what an amazing girl!]
Ying Zijing is so beautiful!!!
Unlike the previous concert in Shanghai and the program "Accept the Punishment of the God of Learning!", this was only disseminated on a small scale.
This is the first time that Ying Zijin has been completely exposed to the public.
News from the entertainment industry spreads the fastest, and the internet buzz exploded instantly.
Ying Zijing had just returned to the hotel when she received a phone call.
"Ying!" Zuo Li's voice came through the phone, filled with gritted teeth. "How come you can play the piano?"
He was utterly desperate. What kind of pervert had he met?
Can't you even be a human being?
He just went online on a whim and discovered this wonderful surprise.
Ying Zijing yawned: "That's because you don't read the news."
Although she made Qin Lingyan delete all the videos of her playing three pieces by Vera Hall and forbade the uploading of videos of that concert online.
However, if you search her name online, the related keywords will include the word "piano".
Zuo Li was speechless. He snorted, "Fine, fine, you're an associate professor in our department anyway, you can't escape it."
He was ruthlessly hung up on as soon as he finished speaking.
"..."
Ying Zijing put her phone aside, put it on Do Not Disturb mode, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
**
Meanwhile, at the performance venue.
Reporters and paparazzi had already surrounded the area, holding their cameras and eager to get started.
They actually came to ambush Ying Zijin, but she left early and was protected by Fu Yunshen, so they failed to catch her.
But that didn't stop them from continuing to wait.
Because among the top ten trending topics, the only two that seemed out of place were the ones about Chen Li buying things for Ye Xi.
#Ye Xi, saving the day#
#Clouds and Moon, deceiving fans#
Although neither of these two trending topics directly mentioned Ying Zijin, the press releases subtly criticized her, which netizens could easily discern.
According to Chen Li's original plan, it would indeed be helpful.
But after Ying Zijin came out, these two trending topics became a joke.
The internet was filled with ridicule.
[I knew it! It's Ye Xi's fans again.]
[Are you even qualified to save the day?]
Is this all the class Ye Dingliu has? He keeps trying to piggyback on the fame of academic giants.
This is a great story to tell, and the media certainly won't let it pass.
At that moment, one of the paparazzi shouted, "They're out! They're out!"
In an instant, all the reporters and paparazzi swarmed around.
Ye Xi was almost pushed over, but her bodyguard quickly followed and stood guard beside her.
Chen Li's face was very serious: "Excuse me, we artists do not accept interviews, please make way."
However, the reporters and paparazzi completely ignored Chen Li and handed all their microphones to Ye Xi.
"Ye Xi, is this what you call saving the day?"
"Ye Xi, some netizens have discovered that those marketing accounts are the same ones that attacked Ying Shen last time, and they even logged in at the same time. Is this related to you?"
"Ye Xi, haven't you learned your lesson from what happened last time? Do you dislike Ying Shen? I'm asking on behalf of the netizens, do you even deserve to be asked?"
As Ye Xi listened to the questions, her face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
