Similar phenomena to the "instant noodle girl" are playing out across the country.
Those who have heard "Sorrow" have basically forgotten their intention to boycott Sunset Music.
Those viewers who didn't blindly criticize the show are now enthusiastically following the lead of fans.
This has led to a very strange public opinion trend.
Those who were shouting the loudest before seem to have fallen silent.
Some people also posted: Why should Li Zhaoyang have to pay for the mistakes he made? Please be rational about this matter. You can criticize Li Zhaoyang, but please don't drag others into it, and don't let such a good work be buried.
The final result is...
The sales of "Sorrow" actually surged thanks to the public outcry that should have been directed at the sunset.
Inside a 120-square-meter upscale residential complex.
Song Yuqin, who had already returned from the company, couldn't think of a better way to quell the pressure from public opinion.
The public relations department colleagues were at a loss.
Even colleagues in the data department said that Wanxia's music sales would be affected by at least 40% in the next month.
"Did I really make a mistake this time?"
He was lying on his side on a large sofa in the living room, with a wine bottle that had been knocked over underneath him, and the whole floor smelled of wine.
Song Yuqin had already taken off her work clothes and was wearing a thin white t-shirt and loose shorts, with her long, white legs exposed and the pink lace under her shorts subtly revealing her skin.
At home, Yuqin is her most authentic self—crazy, lazy, and颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or decadent). But when she's at work, she puts on another mask, exuding a mature and intellectual beauty.
"Zhaoyang, why is your fate so tragic? Your works after the transformation are clearly so great... yet they are boycotted by public opinion."
"Beep beep beep".
Before Song Yuqin could continue complaining, Xiao Zhang called.
She didn't want to answer.
Simply put, under pressure and resistance from public opinion, the sales of all of Evening Glow's music have been affected, especially the newly released Sorrow.
After a while, Xiao Zhang called again.
She still didn't answer.
She only answered the phone after Xiao Zhang called four times, hiding her sentimental feelings and putting on a different face: "I'll report back tomorrow."
"Director, the sales of Xiaochou (a type of snack) have exploded!" came Xiao Zhang's excited shout from the other end of the phone.
Manager Zhang is the second-in-command of a department, and she's already 30 years old, but she's talking like a fangirl of Yuqin, even though she's clearly a few years older than Yuqin.
"Okay, I got it." Just as she was about to hang up, Song Yuqin's mind instantly cleared, and her slight drunkenness vanished: "What did you say? Xiaochou's sales exploded? Wasn't there a public backlash?"
Xiao Zhang: "Public opinion is already overwhelmingly in favor of you, Director. You should go to Baidu Tieba or the Wanxia official website to check the situation yourself."
Song Yuqin stopped talking, hung up the phone, and opened the official website of Wanxia on her mobile phone.
The comments below are all there.
"First of all, I want to make one thing clear: everyone can just criticize Li Zhaoyang, why are you criticizing Wanxia? Boycott Wanxia's new song? Boycott my ass!"
"Yes, why should a lot of people pay for the mistakes of a disgraced artist like Li Zhaoyang? I recommend everyone to listen to Lin Xianguang's new song."
"Wanxia has already banned Li Zhaoyang. Continuing to boycott Wanxia's music seems particularly childish. Wanxia, I'm sorry, I was too loud before."
"Hahaha, you bunch of clowns who fawn over others, you don't even know the facts before blindly following the trend and criticizing. Now look what you've done, you've been proven wrong, haven't you?"
"Yeah, I hate these bootlickers who fawn over you after the fact. They keep saying they want to boycott it, but if they're so tough, they don't listen to music released by Sunset Company."
"A singer named Lin Xianguang sings so well. I looked him up and found out that this is his first song in his professional career. My goodness, his first debut is about to take off."
"Am I the only one who finds reaching for the stars terrifying? What must one have gone through to write a song like this?"
With a single glance, Song Yuqin's gloomy mood was gradually dispelled.
In the end, a smile returned to her face, making her already stunning features even more vibrant.
"...Those netizens really do have a seven-second memory."
To put it bluntly, those who blindly follow the trend of smearing and boycotting the sunset are just a bunch of keyboard warriors who are unhappy in real life and can only seek pleasure online.
For them, right and wrong are not important; what matters most is being able to vent their frustrations.
Just like the current public opinion, although there are many people who criticize Li Zhaoyang and boycott Wanxia, most of them have no idea what happened and just think it's funny, so they join in the fun.
After seeing the quality of Xiaochou, the voices of resistance gradually diminished; in layman's terms, it was a clown.
That's good, Song Yuqin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
Only then did I have time to open the KuCat Music platform and check the July Silver Chart.
Searching the keyword "Xiaochou" (消愁), the number of paid users has approached 300,000+.
"Xiao Chou" ranked 99th on the July silver list, with 251,200 paid views.
There are a total of 1,923 songs on the July charts.
Just one hour later, it has already broken into the top 100?
Song Yuqin was taken aback by the data and immediately took out her phone to make final preparations.
After receiving the call from the director, the head of the publicity department immediately focused intently without giving the latter a chance to speak: "Director, I've been keeping a close eye on Xiaochou's data. You don't need to remind me; I've already instructed the team to work overtime tonight. I also spoke with the data department, and they predict that we'll be able to break into the top ten in July within three days, and into the top five by the end of the month!!"
"Top five?" Song Yuqin was very satisfied with this predicted result.
The announcement was released close to the 20th, and it's expected to be in the top five by the end of the month, which exceeds expectations.
Zhao Yang's plan was to fail, and he was to watch Zhao Shanshan ascend to the throne of the queen of pop.
"However... this is a good thing for him, so that he can face difficulties head-on."
After the public pressure subsided, Song Yuqin cleaned up the wine bottle and wine stains on the ground before going to the bathroom to take a shower.
