Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 462 Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?
Seeing Winnie's seemingly unconcerned attitude, Li Can felt a real headache coming on.

It's a pity this band doesn't have its own identity; it's bound to break up.

"I need to handle this carefully."

Li Can mentally assessed the explosive nature of this incident and planned to select famous quotes from the comments section and edit them into a short video, which he would then play on a loop in his studio during holidays.

Just kidding, we'll give you a break even if it's not a holiday.

Please bear witness.

However, it seems that Li Can and the others were overthinking things.

It was completely different from anything I had encountered before.

Large, reputable media outlets completely ignored Chen Gang's theory about defecating.

Once you reach a certain level, there will be plenty of people willing to help you with maintenance.

Chen Gang didn't want to live anymore, but the others did.

Of course, it could also be because there were mostly Russian media present.

Serious Russians would probably find it difficult to repeat Chen Gang's exact words.

After all, Chen Gang's lapse in judgment doesn't mean everyone else is.

Many media outlets even held the belief that even if Li Can held a gun to their heads and forced them to publish, they would absolutely not publish.

The news appearing in the classical music section was surprisingly serious.

That night, filled with such aromas, felt like a distant dream.

#Chen Gang: Treating music as life.#
The pursuit of culinary excellence stems from a love of food. Whether it's Western or Chinese cuisine, varying the flavors, relaxing, and calmly appreciating the food are essential to becoming a master.

#Chen Gang: Passion is the primary driving force. Whether it's a band or the piano, it's all music I love.#
The most profound performances stem from the purest passion.
#Following DP Band's two silver and one gold medals, Chen Gang finally won the championship. Only Winnie is needed to complete the final piece of the Extreme Band's puzzle!#
#An amazing band? No, it's probably just a group of artists' hobbies.#
The news is so pure it's almost unbelievable.

The major media outlets present were all praising it, seemingly having completely forgotten the initial sensation.

In fact, not all the media outlets that came to the scene were friendly, nor were they all from China or Russia.

Of course, some of these media outlets were malicious.

But this time, both friends and enemies chose to keep quiet.

My friend thinks this might be an attack.

The enemy, on the other hand, felt that it seemed impossible to attack.

If someone else had been in charge, this might have been an extremely disastrous building collapse, enough to generate huge controversy.

But they are DPs.

This time it's outrageous, but it's not like there aren't other equally outrageous dark histories.

Saying something that only reinforces the character's persona makes everyone think that although it's explosive, it's just right.

In fact, some fans have already started to feel uncomfortable!
[Congratulations Gangzi! Congratulations DP! You're amazing!!]

Holy crap, two golds and two silvers!

Does anyone know Winnie's abilities? Is there any chance for her?

[That's amazing! You think she's called the "Guitar Goddess" for nothing? She's more than just rock and roll.]

I'm very excited, but it feels like something's missing.

Seeing DP suddenly become so serious, I was momentarily taken aback.

[That's enough, Abstract Bro. Do you really think the DP band are idiots? They think they can be abstract in a situation like this?]

[Exactly. If things can still be this absurd in this kind of situation, then it's not just a matter of abstract genes; they might be the abstract rules themselves.]

the first time.

For the first time, major media outlets felt a chill run down their spines as they constantly reviewed the comments and feedback.

For DP band, DP band fans.

People who work with classical music year-round really can't understand it.

At the beginning.

The wind direction is fairly normal.

While congratulating the band DP, fans also joked about the band becoming more serious.

Some fans have even started speculating what outrageous antics Chen Gang would pull off, given his style.

A large-scale fan fiction based on the IF world line.

[After the competition, Chen Gang remarked with deep emotion, "There are five other bands as strong as mine."]

[That's too basic, it misses the point! If you ask me, Gangzi should have thanked the female streamers on the Douya platform for the emotional motivation they provided during his championship acceptance speech.]

[That's so stupid. Do they really think a streamer who skirts the edges of the truth can get on this kind of ship?]

[You're the stupid one! Those female streamers who wouldn't let my brother Gang get free votes and who didn't call me "brother" during their room check-ins—it's time for their reckoning!]

"Holy crap, you actually think like that? Fine, I accept it."

As discussions on secondary creation deepened.

More and more outrageous designs are emerging.

Of course, most of them were rejected.

It's not enough to just be outrageous; it must also contain profound meaning, allowing people to savor and appreciate it.

This is the true level DP Band has reached these days!!
This trend.

It was captured by a small media outlet.

Yes, it wasn't just large media outlets present at the competition.

The hotheaded youth is a real person, faithfully recording all the truth.

Like major media outlets, they released information about the event at the same time.

Including Chen Gang's original words.

"When I poop, I can not only pee, but also burp and fart."

"The former is essentially excretion, while the latter is essentially music. They do not hinder each other but complement each other."

"There's no need to choose between two options when it comes to food. I like to try different flavors or have a variety of dishes."

Can be imagined.

What were the consequences of publishing these true reports?

That wasn't explosive popularity, but rather a shocking wave of questions from readers.

After all, it's a small media outlet, so its persuasiveness is somewhat lacking.

Given how outrageous the report is, it's hard not to suspect that it might be a troll posting plagiarism.

The truth is indeed the truth, but whether the audience believes it or not is up to them.

It's almost like an unofficial historical account; it's not only unofficial but also historically accurate.

That's good enough.

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

I do think this sounds like something Chen Gang would say, but it's highly unlikely that Chen Gang would dare to say such things.

[Has the editor lost their mind? At least make something plausible out of it!]

This kind of thing couldn't possibly be made up by a human.

As a result, small media outlets that told the truth felt truly wronged.

In the past, no one believed my exaggerations; now, no one believes the truth either.

Wasn't this just a waste of time telling the truth?!
What a joke!
"Hahaha, nobody believes the truth these days. Gangzi, look at yourself."

All of this was being watched closely by the members of the DP band.

Upon seeing this, no one could remain calm.

Chen Gang's face had darkened.

The most painful thing is not that the truth is brought out and publicly exposed.

Instead, after the public execution, fans not only didn't believe it, but also mocked that the story was fabricated and that the person in question wasn't even human.

Looking at Chen Gang's fascinating expression.

The members of the DP band laughed even harder.

No one expected this.

Instead of generating epic news coverage, the authenticity of the event itself is being heavily questioned.

It was so outrageous that even the fans couldn't be bothered to watch it.

"I can't laugh anymore, Gangzi. Look, even fans who know you might be abstract think you couldn't possibly be this abstract." "This can't be explained by Brother Can leading the way anymore; you've completely surpassed him."

"Now that's great, no one will believe Gangzi's even more outrageous claims anymore."

Chen Gang is once again in Hongwen.

Amidst shouts of "Shut up!", "Don't say it!", and "I'll explode!", even the Moscow International Hotel was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Time passed slowly.

Winnie's competition is also progressing steadily.

As the fans expected, there was no suspense.

Although the title of "Guitar God" originated from the performance of rock electric guitar, it is a completely different world from classical guitar.

But the spirituality in expression and the understanding of the guitar cannot be faked.

With a foundation in classical guitar, he quickly mastered electric guitar, and the imagination and expressive power of electric guitar, in turn, enriched his classical guitar playing.

The idea of ​​drawing inferences from one instance to another may sound simple, but for Winnie, it was actually quite difficult.

It is indeed simple.

After the last piece of the puzzle was completed.

The fans finally dared to pop the champagne.

Three gold and two silver coins, holy crap!

Is this what DP looks like when they get serious?

I actually had this ridiculous thought that it's embarrassing for someone not to win a gold medal.

[It's so outrageous that I'm almost numb to it.]

[There are still people who haven't received a medal yet, I'm referring to the team captain.]

[Hilarious, they're actually judges!]

[Damn it, this part-time band really is just a part-time band!]

By this time...

The fans finally realized what was happening.

Why do I always feel that DP Band is different from the bands I know, and why do I always feel that they are somewhat out of place in the entertainment industry?

When we gather together, we are like a blazing fire.

Scattered are six balls of fire.

The adage "fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp" was once again vividly proven at this moment.

This isn't just a partnership; it's a powerful alliance.

It's no wonder that the DP band and the entertainment industry seem somewhat inexplicably disconnected; this is actually the best possible state of peace.

Many fans should put themselves in that shoes and think about it carefully.

They might even think that if they were in that situation, they would have to blow eight hundred noses a day in the entertainment industry.

Awards that other artists can only dream of are just a wholesale prize for DP Band. For some people who can't make it in the classical music scene but end up in the entertainment industry and want to market themselves eight hundred times a day, their past glories seem to be just the beginning for DP Band.

Public opinion exploded once again.

The direction of the fire was once again completely unexpected.

I've become desensitized to the so-called academic qualifications and achievements of some celebrities, thanks to DP.

[So, a year ago I was asking a certain variety show personality with a classical image how they compared to the DP band, and now I'm just laughing it off.]

[The entertainment industry is a lucrative business, but for some reason, I want the DP band to make more money here.]

[My past self: My idol is a Berkeley graduate! That's amazing!]

Me now: Forget Li Can, I'm not even as good as any random big shot from the DP band.

[DP Band: I heard you're really good and have won a lot of awards, how about a competition? I'll offer three gold medals and two silver medals, starting with international competitions.]

[You're holding Li Can, this trump card, and you're just messing with him?]

Compared to the explosive success achieved by the DP band.

This time, the hype exploded.

The bigger impact seems to be that it has completely demystified the so-called academic qualifications, awards, and personas of countless fans.

As long as DP Band continues to operate in the entertainment industry, it seems to be an inescapable hurdle.

A degree from a prestigious university? It doesn't seem that special.

A major award? That's not so surprising!

It only takes a moment for netizens to get excited, and many people can follow suit and search for it.

With the thought of "Let me see which celebrities have made a big deal out of their awards and academic qualifications" in mind, I began to recall various things from the past.

Unlike celebrities who share the joy of winning awards.

Those who win major awards and then use them for marketing are invariably covered in marketing articles, and old posts about them are readily available. They will definitely exaggerate the prestige of the award and lavish praise on the celebrity in these articles.

I didn't realize it before because there were no competing products.

Looking at it now, it's all a joke.

A classic scene is recreated.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have started to keep a low profile, pretending to have vanished from the face of the earth, with no trace of their recent whereabouts.

The issue is related to leaving the battleground to the DP band.

Amidst the massive wave of awards won by the DP band, a few unlucky individuals with dark histories are occasionally swept up in the frenzy, prompting everyone to further adopt an invisibility buff.

The heat always builds up very quickly.

After returning to China, Li Can and his group only had a relaxed celebration for two or three days before they began to notice the current trends.

Many celebrities who used awards for aggressive marketing are now being relentlessly attacked by netizens, including some I know.

Lin Feng was the first to laugh out loud.

"Tsk, I think what he said makes sense. What kind of level is this, showing off like this?"

He handed the phone to Li Can.

Lee Chan was shocked to see a female artist named Bai Lin, whose past achievements, which she had boasted about, included an award she received at the age of 12.

Mentioning it once is a sign of pride, mentioning it twice is a sign of joy, mentioning it three or five times is just an attempt to appear kind.

But if you keep bringing it up, constantly talking about it, you've been living in the past for years.

No wonder netizens started mocking them.

"These kinds of people definitely deserve to be interrogated, but we also need to be careful not to go to extremes."

Li Can rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"It's possible that some die-hard fans might actually go to the comments section and say things like 'Not as good as DP band.' Perhaps they're not doing any crazy marketing, but just sharing something once. As role models, they should still keep an eye on their fans and not go too far."

"That's true. At least there's something to it, something that's better than getting nothing at all."

Lin Feng nodded.

Anyway, the whole group was spending money on prizes not for this.

All I can say is that there was some incidental amusement.

If this kind of entertainment is allowed to continue, it's not a good thing.

Hitting him a few times is fine, but if you keep hitting him and he actually dies, what will happen then?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng pondered for a moment before speaking.

"In that case, let's shift the focus of public opinion, take this opportunity to respond to the end of the event, and make use of its lingering impact?"

"Great, Feng, you even have ideas now."

Li Can raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Lin Feng carrying a hint of mockery.

"You've grown up, I guess."

"Get the hell out of here and get to work! We just want to vent!"

Lin Feng's impatient manner sent a shiver down Li Can's spine, reminding him of terrifying things.

Preparing for a competition is a high-pressure process, especially when it's followed by grueling intensive training.

Everyone's desire to explode has been suppressed to the extreme.

We need to find a suitable occasion to give everyone a good talking-to.

"Holding a concert is clearly not a good idea; it gives off a feeling of being eager to make money. As for the stage, well, the closest one seems to be in two months, at the Tencent Music Awards ceremony. What do you think?"

"I don't care about this or that, let's get it done!"
