Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 154 Goes Viral! God-Level Live Performance, Leaving Top Stars Speechless.
"Okay, okay...that's amazing."

On stage, everything came to an end, and the host walked onto the stage and called out to Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei, who were about to leave.

He smiled and said, "The two singers' performances seemed to transport us to a world of war and passion, filled with both heroism and tenderness."

"Then I'd like to ask you, as the lyricist and composer of this song, could you share with us how you balanced the grand historical feel with the delicate emotions of reunion in the song when preparing for this performance?"

Chi Ye paused for a moment, then blurted out, "The song begins by quoting Wang Changling's 'Leaving the Frontier.' I think it was Wang Changling's poem that established the song's majestic and grand tone. Hmm... When I was preparing, I kept imagining the scenes of the ancient frontier, where soldiers fought bloody battles while also longing for their hometowns and loved ones."

"At the same time, this work blends popular and Qinqiang opera elements, making many new attempts. I also hope to use this stage to contribute to the spread of traditional Chinese culture."

clap clap.

The audience erupted in applause, not because Ikeno's words were particularly insightful, but because people "dared not" not applaud such a topic.

positive energy!
Of course, there are also reasons such as Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei singing really well, and the comparison with many artists who seemed to have no talent.

Clearly, Ikeno has shown everyone a different side of himself now.

Yu Yan, listening to these words from below the stage, found them somewhat jarring.

He had been asked a few questions by the host earlier, and his answers were quite standard.

"fine."

The agent reassured, "I've already told the team to keep an eye out. If he tries to undermine us, we'll have a response plan immediately."

"Ah."

Yu Yan nodded without saying anything.

At this point, the host called on Sister Pliers again, and after she finished speaking, the two of them were asked to give Mid-Autumn Festival greetings together.

Pliers Sister: "Um... Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a joyous family reunion."

Chi Ye: "On this Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish our motherland prosperity and strength, and beautiful landscapes. I also hope that every friend can reap a lot of happiness and joy on this wonderful festival, and that the moon is full and people are reunited, and that the whole family is safe and healthy."

Sister Pliers: “?!”

She glanced at Chi Ye sideways: Damn, were you memorizing your lines behind my back?
Chino noticed her gaze, and at first didn't react, then was speechless: I was just saying it offhand, why are you so sensitive!
Pliers Girl: Scheming!

Chi Ye: Did I get infected and conceived after working with Chu Hanzhou once?

After the two left the stage, the old man at home nodded in approval, saying, "That young man knows how to talk."

Jin Xia: “…”

This year: “…”

Jinming sneered: "Such a unique insight is something only you could articulate with such ease."

"Ok?"

The old man was a little confused, then flew into a rage: "You little bastard, speak like a human being! You want another beating, don't you?"

Jinming was jolted awake and dared not act rashly at all, so he quickly said in plain language, "Only you would say that."

"Oh?"

The old man glanced at Jinming, then at the others, and then, as he turned back to take a closer look at Chi Ye on the television, he discovered that Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei had already left the stage.

"..."

interesting.

……

So much fun!

At the scene, in the audience seats.

The thought of global warming had already sent shivers down her spine the moment Ikeno sang her first angry note. She endured it until Ikeno finished singing before eagerly pulling out her phone.

How could we miss such a great opportunity to show our true colors?

As a result, she didn't even need to use her mouth; her steamed food had already taken its course.

It's trending on Weibo.

Less than two minutes after Ikeno and Sister Pliers finished their performance, the hashtags #IkenoShijinMicroDuet# #IkenoNewAlbumFateBridge# #IkenoGodlikeLive# had already soared to the top of the trending topics list.

Initially, it was Chiye's team that bought it, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival that Chinese people all over the world pay attention to, so not long after, the popularity of more related hot words, as well as the hot search terms that were originally purchased, began to soar.

The trending topics gradually approached Yu Yan's, then went from approaching to being right up against her, and then from being right up against her to surpassing her.

No matter how many fans you have or how popular you are, there are still more casual viewers watching the show tonight than you!
Under each of the various entries, the comments are almost unanimously filled with astonishment.

"Wow! You've really impressed me today!"

"My brother is so handsome! And he sings so well!"

"Dude, you're amazing! You sang this live with the microphone on, that's pretty good."

"I'm already looking forward to Coconut's new album, this song is absolutely amazing!"

"I originally watched the gala while I was bored during dinner, but I didn't expect this year's gala to actually surprise me."

"Where are Yu Yan's fans? Yu Yan's fans, come out and speak!"

The real-time comments included passersby, Chi Ye's fans, and Yu Yan's fans.

Originally, Yu Yan's fans would have adopted a superior attitude of resolutely ignoring and not responding to such "exploitations".

But this time was different. Chi Ye and Yu Yan were on stage less than ten minutes apart, one after the other. The contrast was too obvious, so when they saw this criticism, they had to come out to save face for their brother.

"Hate fans, stop your baseless attacks. I don't see anything good about it."

"All you can do is howl and scream angrily, and you call that pleasant to listen to?"

"Was it sung live? It sounds like it was pre-recorded."

"Brother Yuyan has a cold today, so it's already amazing that he could sing like this, okay?"

As soon as these remarks came out, Chi Ye, who had just retreated backstage, slapped his thigh and thought to himself that Yu Yan's fans were definitely on his side!
He glanced at Sister Pliers.

Sure enough, not long after, Sister Pliers' team stepped in and bought the trending topic #ShiJinHasASlightCold#.

Yes, Sister Pliers happened to have a cold today, and it was precisely because of her cold that her voice was a bit heavier than usual, which "created" such a great stage effect today.

Sister Pliers played like a god while having a cold, while Yu Yan's performance was terrible while she was sick?!
Chi Ye glanced at Shi Jinwei and said, "You're not a good person either."

Shi Jinwei remained expressionless: "Also?"

Chiye: "..."

As a result, Sister Pliers' fans joined the fray. Chi Yefang, who was originally no match for Yu Yan's fans, suddenly received help from a "powerful ally." With the addition of more attracted bystanders, Yu Yan's fans dared not utter a word.

They were afraid that if they continued to be stubborn, it would worsen their brother's public image!

Therefore, they quickly changed their rhetoric and questioned whether Ikeno was speaking entirely live.

Furthermore, seeing the public opinion in this way, Yu Yan's side also went all out, buying trending topics related to Ikeno's unreleased performance.

"Ikeno didn't speak live at full volume!"

"Ikeno lip-syncs!"

"Lip-syncing bastards, get out of here!"

Similar comments gradually gained traction because Yu Yan's team is indeed very good at managing fans and has an enormous number of fans. Before long, several related terms appeared on the trending search list.

But at this critical juncture, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala production team couldn't sit still.

Because their selling point this time is that all the guests are speaking live, and many of Yu Yan's younger fans have been tagging them, urging them to investigate thoroughly.

What do you mean by "strictly investigating"?
The official Weibo account of the People's Bank of China directly issued a statement to refute the rumors:

[We always maintain a professional and rigorous attitude towards every performance. All guests at this gala sang live, with every note a testament to the singers' talent—whether soaring and powerful or melodious and gentle. The subtle changes in breath control and the impromptu emotional delivery are something lip-syncing could never achieve with such authenticity and emotion.] [In the future, we will continue to uphold quality and bring you more wonderful and authentic audio-visual feasts. We hope you will continue to support the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. #CCTVMidAutumnFestivalGalaLiveSingingDebunkedRumors #LiveSingingPowerfulVoices]

After this "debunking" Weibo post was published, Yu Yanfang immediately fell silent.

The fans immediately pretended to be dead.

But they were playing dead, and this was exactly the opportunity Ikeno had been waiting for!
Ikeno immediately started fiddling with his phone backstage, remotely controlling the system.

Coco immediately called over her pre-prepared team to work overtime. Soon, a frame-by-frame comparison video of Yu Yan's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala live performance versus Chi Ye's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala live performance was released by various marketing accounts.

Actually, there's no need to analyze frame by frame, because the difference in their performances tonight was so great that it was almost impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye.

Audiences and fans may not understand music, but they still know whether you sang off-key or whether your breath control was weak.

Several of the most popular videos instantly "skyrocketed" in popularity, and viewers who saw the comparison videos unanimously gave the following comments:
"Wow, what's that guy on the left singing?"

"Balala the Fairies, Balala Energy, Salora Salora, Little Fairy, Transform!"

"Did Yu Yan leave her vocal cords at home today?"

"Without comparison, there is no harm. When I saw the trending topic, I thought Hu Ye was going to do his old tricks again and try to ride the wave, but after watching the comparison video... I can only say that Hu Ye's singing skills are far superior."

"What's that? A mosquito buzzing?"

"Yu Yan should focus on acting; singing isn't for him."

"Peng Chen sang better than Yu Yan. No wonder he came from Rise. The captain performed well today, and the team members were just as good!"

Mixed in with casual observers were paid trolls, among them were Peng Chen's trolls, and among Peng Chen's trolls were Sister Pliers' self-praise...

What a mess.

But no matter how chaotic it gets, after this commotion, Yu Yan's previously "aloof" side and Yu Yan's fans are completely bewildered and in an uproar!
Unfortunately, they really can't go against the public...

The facts are right in front of you: no matter how high your status or how popular you are, you still got caught by Ikeno's attack.

"Damn, this guy's gameplay is so disgusting!"

Backstage.

Yu Yan's manager rarely gets this angry. Although there have been people who have tried to take advantage of Yu Yan before, it's almost unheard of for them to go this far in putting her down, even saying things like "Yu Yan, don't open your mouth, we're on the same side!"

This is really offensive!
She was furious, but as one of the industry's well-known marketing gurus, her response was to ignore it and give it the cold shoulder.

We can't afford to pay any more attention to that nobody. They've already gotten a huge boost, and they've been so aggressive in their attacks. If we keep bothering them, who knows what else they might do?

—This was a "duel" that should never have happened; it was forced out of Ikeno by his moon landing attempt!
"It's okay, don't I have enough haters already? A few more won't make a difference."

Yu Yan himself appeared quite calm. As for what he was really thinking, whether he held a grudge against Shang Chiye, only he himself knew.

"Let's get ready for the second song... I'll sing it well this time."

He stood up, ready to discuss the second show, the grand finale of the evening, with the choreography team.

No matter how much Chi Ye tries, he can't possibly perform twice at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, with one performance as the finale.

So let him have some fun.

Being a nobody is tough.

……

Chi Ye is not difficult.

After seeing the results of this comparison, he knew he was going to make a killing this time.

What to eat
The traffic left over from the prison season.

Singing "A Bridge of Fate" at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was not just a simple act of disparaging Yu Yan.

Besides criticizing others, he also had to "tie" Shi Jin to promote the new album and deeply market this "god-level live performance".

In another world, "A Bridge of Fate" is a very popular live performance on major streaming platforms, and it always has a place in every list of amazing duets.

This needs to be marketed well to attract more traffic.

In addition, isn't Yu Yan going to sing another song?
Before he even sang, Chi Ye's team had already prepared copy to criticize him!
You think it's over after just one round of criticism?

No, that's far from enough!
Sure enough, after Yu Yan finished singing the second song as the finale, Chi Ye's team immediately produced a comparison video and accompanying text at the fastest speed.

Meanwhile, the comparison between #Ikeno's Mid-Autumn Festival Address# and #Yuyan's Mid-Autumn Festival Address# once again topped the trending search list.

This has sparked heated discussions.

"Wow, this is the first time I've felt that Huye has cultural depth. It's really strange."

"Stop competing! If you keep going, Yu Yan will call the police!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Peng Chen must have memorized his lines too, right? Are the two of them teaming up to prank Yu Yan like he's Japanese?"

"This second song is a little better than the first, but it's still not as good as 'A Bridge of Fate'."

"What level is 500 million likes in one hour for a short video? It was the most popular song at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!"

"A Bridge of Fate" has been edited by the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala program team and uploaded to streaming platforms such as Douyin.

It should be said that many of the songs performed were released.

But only "A Bridge of Fate" had the most explosive data, and it has even gone beyond its original audience.

With 5 million likes in one hour, it's expected to break 10 million, just a matter of how many tens of millions it will be, which is higher than the 3 million likes that Yu Yan's fans frantically gave her.

This is the power of the people!

Yu Yan's performance in all aspects today was indeed not ideal.

So, the way Ikeno's team did this is disgusting.

Chi Ye's personal popularity and online traffic are spreading further with the release of various comparison videos, Douyin, and Kuaishou of the live version of "A Bridge of Fate", and she is starting to gain fans like crazy.

He managed to get his first taste of the large market gap left by the prison season through a roundabout approach.

Of course, there were unexpected events during this period.

For example, Sister Pliers.

Sister Pliers is someone who really cares about her B-list ranking.

While Chi Ye was aggressively attacking Yu Yan and profiting from Ji Nan, Sister Qianzi was also subtly marketing hashtags such as #Shi Jinwei's Representative Works# and #The Bridge of Fate's Representative Works#.

"A Bridge of Fate" is Shi Jinwei's representative work!

Sister Pliers is such a liar!
However, Ikeno didn't say anything to Pincer Sister after seeing her action.

Because Sister Pliers was already jealous of Ikeno's performance being listed before hers today.

However, since Ikeno wrote and composed the entire song for "A Bridge of Fate," she was unusually spared from having a seizure.

But now that the concert is over, and it looks like Ikeno is going to reap all the benefits, how can Sister Pliers sit still?

"A Bridge of Fate" features an equally excellent female vocal performance!

This is also one of my representative works, Shi Jinwei!

Ok…

Chi Ye was thinking that he would have to ask Sister Pliers to record this song for his new album and ride on her popularity as a top-tier celebrity. This time, Sister Pliers did indeed help him "get" Yu Yan.

So let her be.

That guy with the pliers is really something, acting like he's never heard a good song before. Is it really necessary?
Sigh, the child ate so poorly before, he's been starving!
