Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 766: Heat is rising, Xiao Xiao is easy to deceive
At the live broadcast of "My Stage", the audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on the big screen on the stage.

At this moment, all ten groups of singers, including three hosts, have arrived on the stage, waiting for the real-time vote count on the big screen to usher in the final sprint.

The spotlight split the darkness of the studio like a silver blade. Cai Xukun stood in the center of the stage and could clearly feel the cold sweat oozing from the back of his neck and sliding down his spine.

He calmly adjusted his earphones and heard the director counting down on the channel: "Five, four."

"Let us congratulate..."

There was just the right amount of trembling in Wu Xuanyi's last words, and her fingers with star-shaped nail polish were tightly gripping the microphone, with the knuckles turning white from being squeezed so hard.

The smile on Wang Yijin's face was a little stiff. The number of votes for their group on the big screen was really poor, almost at the eighth or ninth level.

Surprisingly, the top three are NINE PERCENT, Chen Chusheng, and Cheng Xiao.

Many viewers at the scene and on the barrage were surprised but also felt that it was reasonable. Cheng Xiao's stage performance was indeed impressive.

Maybe she is not as popular as NINE PERCENT Rocket Girls, and her singing voice is not as good as Chen Chusheng, Zhang Bichen and others, but in terms of stage performance, she is definitely the best tonight!
When the vote column rose to the last moment, it suddenly disappeared from the big screen.

Just when everyone was confused, the big screen began to show images, and the silhouettes of ten groups of contestants emerged one after another in the fireworks.

The audience suddenly erupted in screams like a tsunami. Cai Xukun heard many voices calling his name, and he couldn't help but feel more confident.

"The champion of this round of singing competition is..."

Cai Xukun's voice got stuck at the second syllable.

The girls holding pearly white cheering banners in the audience were already crying together, and the rhinestone light signs with the word "Kun" on them stood out in the crowd.

Wang Yijin suddenly chuckled and raised her fingertips to poke through the stagnant air: "Who will be our first champion?"

"It's you!!!"

“It’s us NINE PERCENT!!!”

"Xiao Xiao Champion!"

"Chen Chusheng is the best of the match!"

……

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and Wu Xuanyi took over the conversation: "Let's go watch the big screen together!"

Suddenly, golden fireworks exploded on the big screen, and Cai Xukun could clearly see the gold-plated logo amid the roar!

The group logo belonging to NINE PERCENT emerges clearly!
They are champions!
The members of NINE PERCENT hugged each other excitedly, then quickly regained their politeness and bowed repeatedly in response to everyone's congratulations. At the same time, they did not forget to wave and make a heart shape with their hands to the audience and the camera, giving back to the fans for their full support.

After them, the names of Chen Chusheng and Cheng Xiao appeared one after another, ranking second and third respectively. As for the other seven groups of contestants, their specific rankings were not announced, but their specific vote counts would be announced on the official Weibo of "My Stage".

Chen Chusheng straightened the wrinkles of his clothes. He repeated this action seven times until the camera got close to him. He then stopped and showed a slightly stiff smile.

In fact, this result has already met his expectations.

Cheng Xiao's pearl earrings cast a shadow in the side light. When she made a heart shape with her hands to the camera, her mascara smudged a faint gray color on her eye bags.

If you observe carefully, you will find that she is always in the same direction when making the heart shape gesture.

"Please invite our champion group today to give their acceptance speech."

A hint of envy flashed in Wang Yijin's eyes, and she raised her hand and signaled NINE PERCENT to come forward in a sweet voice.

Cai Xukun staggered when he was pushed forward by the members, but fortunately he was supported by Chen Chusheng at the side, which caused an exclamation from the audience.

After the scare, there was a burst of good-natured laughter at the scene.

At this moment, the sobbing sound of an unknown fan came from a corner of the audience, mixed in with the deafening cheers like a rusty needle.

"This kind of live stage is so exciting. I feel like my breath is stuck in my chest. I am so excited and thrilled. I am also very grateful to you at the scene and in front of the screen for your support for us NINE PERCENT. I want to say..."

Before he finished speaking, golden paper flowers suddenly fell from the dome.

He saw Wang Yijin making the "thirty seconds left" gesture and Wu Xuanyi wiping her collarbone which was covered with glitter.

"This is just the beginning!"

Cai Xukun ended his acceptance speech with concise words, and also expressed his confidence in winning the next singing stage.

As soon as the words fell, the scene burst into cheers again.

Below the stage, Lin Li looked at the situation on the stage and smiled slightly.

He was not surprised by this result. After all, NINE PERCENT’s popularity is there, and with the top star Cai Xukun there, they naturally have a huge advantage in ranking.

Chen Chusheng is very strong, so it is not surprising that he got a good ranking.

The only thing that surprised him was that Xiao Xiao actually defeated the entire Rocket Girls group by herself. Relying on her perfect stage performance, she beat Rocket Girls and won the third place. It was an unexpected surprise.

In this case, if she participates in two more episodes, it is not impossible for her to reach the top.

Lin Li was no longer interested in watching what happened afterwards. He wanted to hold a meeting with Li Jie and Ma Yankun to summarize today's live broadcast. There were still many small problems.

At this time, the live broadcast was announced to end with many singers waving goodbye on the stage.

On the Internet, the popularity of "My Stage" continues to grow.

Five minutes after the first live broadcast of "My Stage" ended, the Weibo server crashed for the third time that night.

The topic #NINEPERCENT刀群舞# topped the list with a deep red “爆” character, and the real-time reading volume increased by more than 800,000 times per second.

When Penguin Video's technical department urgently expanded its capacity, it found that the number of online viewers for the live broadcast of the program had exceeded 920 million, enough to rank among the top ten live variety shows in terms of real-time online viewership.

The public opinion monitoring chart released by Penguin Video showed that the volume of the entire network reached its peak at 21:57 that evening, and the discussions of the three contestants showed completely different spectra.

In NINEPERCENT’s super chat, fans are analyzing the 0.8-second position changes of their stage performance frame by frame.

Chen Chusheng's live audio source landed at the top of Penguin Music's rising chart, demonstrating his unrivaled dominance.

The GIF of Cheng Xiao biting her lip during the ending shot unexpectedly triggered a secondary creation craze in the Kpop section of Twitter abroad.

Domestic short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou quickly followed suit, and many internet celebrities and passers-by rushed to imitate them.

"The Chinese entertainment industry finally has its own stage for singing songs, with unparalleled stage effects, top-notch sound equipment, and singers who go all out!"

Lehua Entertainment CEO Du Hua expressed his feelings in a post on his WeChat Moments, with the accompanying picture being the battle report just released by the official Penguin Video Weibo account.

The number of Penguin Video members activated surged by nearly 120 million in a single day, and the pre-sale sales of Cheng Xiao and Jiang Zhenyu's same stage costumes on Taobao exceeded 17 pieces. The title sponsor JD also posted screenshots after the live broadcast, and the number of orders for their May Day mall pre-sale event soared, surging by billion in a single day.

Seeing this scene, those advertisers who had previously tried to lower the prices were almost biting their back teeth!
At the same time, they also knew that the next time they negotiated with Nanxun Culture, they would have no choice but to let the other party set the price!

When all members of NINEPERCENT stood sideways at 127.5 degrees, the UP host "Dancing Power Full Open" in the dance area of ​​​​Bilibili pressed the pause button. In the analysis video he released, the absolute error of each member's elbow was marked with grid lines.

"From Cai Xukun in the center position to Zhu Zhengting in the edge position, the height difference of the nine players' kicking legs is no more than 2cm, the uniformity is amazing!"

The up-loader used a shocking title to highlight his amazement, and at the end of the video he lamented that this mechanically precise aesthetic is reshaping the standards of domestic entertainment.

On the Hupu Straight Male Forum, the top comment was "I don't want to admit it, but it's definitely more in sync than the opening dance of the NBA All-Star Game."

In the Douyin #陈楚升情感式唱腔# challenge, a 40-year-old middle-aged man screamed at the bathroom mirror. The post with the most likes was "I haven't sung for 20 years. He reminded me of myself crying in KTV when I was laid off."

Penguin Music data shows that 35% of his audience are over 47 years old, which shows who his audience groups are.

Music producer Zhang Yadong wrote in his music review: "When everyone is pursuing high-pitched bombardment, Chen Chusheng can not only play high notes, but also conquer your ears with his hoarse G2 bass range."

The number of comments on Chen Chusheng's songs on Penguin Music has exceeded 10, with the most popular comment being "This really doesn't need any audio editing!"

When Cheng Xiao completed a textbook-level continuous wave in 10cm high heels, the Korean "M Countdown" director posted three fire emojis on his Instagram story.

In the practice room footage released by the program team, the video of her practicing dancing with a sandbag tied to her body was used as a teaching material for newcomers by South Korean companies such as SM and JYP, and the 0.3-second slow motion of her hair shaking at the ending shot created a tens of millions-level hot topic #Cheng Xiao Aesthetics# on Weibo.

The straight-shot data exposed her terrifying commercial value. The number of views of her personal camera video on Bilibili reached 3870 million in just a few hours, attracting many netizens to watch it repeatedly.

What drives brands crazy the most is user stickiness. For the Chanel Soft Illuminating Foundation endorsed by Cheng Xiao, 1327 questions appeared in Taobao's "Ask Everyone" section, asking "Can the makeup last long enough to stand up to girl group dances?"

Data from all aspects indicate one thing: Cheng Xiao is famous!
Based on the original popularity, there was a blowout explosion!

In addition, Jiang Zhenyu's softness, Wang Yijin's sweet voice, Shan Yichun's amazing singing, etc. have also aroused varying degrees of discussion across the entire network.

What is even more frightening is the long-tail effect of derivative content. The behind-the-scenes clips of "My Stage" live broadcast have been played over 50 billion times on the #StageArchaeology# topic on a certain audio platform, which is equivalent to every netizen in the country watching it 3.5 times.

The madness of the advertising market further confirms this value.

After the live broadcast ended, news leaked that many advertisers approached Nanxun Culture overnight, and the advertising fee soared from 5 million for the initial 300 seconds to 800 million, and many brands were still competing for the bid.

A member of the program team revealed that a certain yogurt brand temporarily added a seven-digit sponsorship fee in order to allow spokesperson Cheng Xiao to hold the product for one more second.

The earrings that Cheng Xiao wore in the finals cleared out Swarovski’s inventory, and they were claimed through a post on the official Weibo account.

At the same time, this butterfly effect even alarmed Wall Street. Goldman Sachs issued a latest report one hour after the live broadcast ended, raising its forecast for the scale of China's idol economy from 300 billion to 800 billion.

When the naked-eye 3D big screen in Sanlitun, Beijing, began to rotate clips from "My Stage", this feast had already broken through the boundaries of traditional variety shows.

“We are not creating stars, we are creating a new era.”

The drunken remarks made by "My Stage" producer Li Jie at the celebration banquet that night were directly used as the title of a special feature by an entertainment media at the scene.

At Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, under the giant poster of NINEPERCENT, several girls were arguing over who could stand in the center position for the photo, and their suitcases were all covered with Chen Chusheng's rock stickers.

This battle that started on the stage is now turning into a tsunami sweeping across the country.

At this moment, at the "My Stage" celebration party, staff and participating singers gathered together to celebrate the successful completion of the first episode and this phenomenal popularity performance.

The show became a hit, and both the staff and the singers who participated in the promotion were very happy.

At the banquet, none of the singers put on airs. They were all very kind and met the various requests of the program staff. Taking photos and signing autographs were all just a piece of cake.

The crystal chandeliers at the banquet reflected a halo like broken diamonds on the champagne tower. Jiang Zhenyu tapped his knuckles on the chilled wine bottle, and his eyes passed through the crowd of elegantly dressed people and stopped on one person.

Cheng Xiao leaned against the dessert table. Her silver-white dress showed off her graceful and voluptuous curves at her waist. The red velvet cake on the tip of her tongue made her lips look even brighter.

“Would you like to try tiramisu?”

When Jiang Zhenyu approached with the cake, he smelled the fragrance floating behind the other person's ear.

"You don't have to control your weight today, right?"

She deliberately let the ending of her voice carry a hint of teasing, and her fingertips rubbed the back of Cheng Xiao's hand as she went to pick up the silver fork.

Cheng Xiao smiled and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears, her diamond earrings flickering slightly at her temples.

"Jiang Jiang, are you seducing me?"

She puffed out her lips and blinked her eyelashes. Jiang Zhenyu could see the tiny glitter on her eyelashes.

“What if I get fat again?”

"It's okay, you're actually in very good shape."

Looking at the cute and innocent Cheng Xiao in front of him, Jiang Zhenyu's breathing couldn't help but quicken.

"You two seem to be having a good time chatting?"

"Perhaps, you can share it with me?"

Lin Li's sudden voice startled Jiang Zhenyu so much that her wrist trembled and the tiramisu in her hand fell on the hem of Cheng Xiao's skirt.

She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and when her fingertips rubbed the skin above Cheng Xiao's knees, the smooth touch made her heart flutter.

So slippery!

Cheng Xiao held her hand, smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's okay, I can wipe it myself."

Lin Li leaned against the dessert table and pointed gently, staring at the two people who were quite close to him with a half-smile on his face.

The tips of Jiang Zhenyu's ears were burning red, and when Cheng Xiao's hair brushed across the back of her hand, she shuddered.

"Sorry, Xiao Xiao."

"Teacher Nanxun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Zhenyu gave an apologetic smile, looking soft and helpless, which was extremely lovable.

"Oh, it's okay. Ali won't care about these things."

"Right, Ali?"

Cheng Xiao took Jiang Zhenyu's hand and signaled to Lin Li with his eyes.

"Uh...right!"

Lin Li glanced at the two people's hands holding together and nodded in agreement.

This silly girl!

All the nutrition for the brain goes to the breasts?
