This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 240 Full Granaries: I Have Another Great Idea

Since the short video of this song was posted this morning, it has been constantly seen by netizens while they are scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

After listening to this short clip of the song, netizens were deeply moved and either gave the video a thumbs up or shared their feelings in the comments section.

The number of likes, comments, and shares on the video has been steadily increasing.

Once Douyin's promotion mechanism detects this situation, it will give the video more traffic.

By the afternoon, Wang Jiayue's video "Youth" had already made it onto the trending list.

On Earth, the song "Youth" was written and composed by Meng Ran, and also sung by Meng Ran herself.

These kinds of online singers are usually famous for their songs but not for themselves. It took some time for "Youth" to become a hit across the entire internet after its release.

The situation is different in this world. With Lu Ran's popularity, the song "Youth" gained a lot of traffic on the first day of its release.

This is equivalent to bringing forward the long accumulation period that would have been previously required.

On the other end of the Douyin app, the staff in charge of the "Farewell and Growth" event were also stunned.

This event officially started in November and will continue until the end of the year.

It's not that no one is creating songs in this topic.

It's important to know that there have always been people creating catchy tunes for shaking hands, and many music companies are specifically doing this.

However, it's already December, and there hasn't been a truly hit song yet.

Today, "Youth" suddenly appeared and quickly gained popularity among viewers across the internet, which is quite astonishing.

"This song was actually written by Lu Ran. I never thought Lu Ran could write this kind of song so easily."

"Good heavens, with Lu Ran making a move, how are others supposed to compete?"

"Don't you guys think this singer has a pretty good voice? Last time he made Li Haorui famous, is the person Lu Ran is going to promote this time Wang Jiayue?"

"Never mind what Lu Ran is trying to do, just give us the traffic!"

On Douyin, a meeting was quickly convened to discuss the song "Youth".

During the meeting, the organizing committee presented various data from the video.

A group of leaders were somewhat surprised by the changes in the data growth.

Within Douyin (TikTok), there is a dedicated data analysis system to determine whether a video has the potential to become a viral hit.

If so, Douyin (TikTok) itself will also allocate more traffic to the video, turning it from a minor hit into a major hit.

Lu Ran utilized this hand-shaking recommendation mechanism.

Upon seeing this data, the leader in charge of the "Farewell and Growth" event breathed a sigh of relief.

This event is finally going to produce a hit song!

He also gave an explanation to his superiors!

If you really force traffic, you can push a song out, but a song that's forced out can't compare to a song that becomes popular naturally.

In the conference room, the leader was in high spirits.

"Contact a popular influencer on Douyin (TikTok) to cover this song."

"Contact Burning Studio and see what other moves they may have up their sleeves. We will fully cooperate."

"Give all the videos of this song to the boy, and push them to the prime-time traffic."

After giving these instructions, the popularity of the song "Youth" soared to new heights.

The next day, on Douyin (TikTok), a group of internet celebrities began to join the ranks of those covering the song.

The internet is all about chasing traffic.

The videos of these internet celebrities covering the songs have received a lot of views and likes, and other people have joined in after seeing this.

Users who use ShakeShou feel like they are surrounded by "Youth".

"All day today, all I saw on my feed was 'I'm still the same boy I used to be,' and I already know how to sing that song."

"I've already seen several music streamers I follow post covers of this song."

"This song is pretty good, I really enjoy listening to it."

At first, it was just internet celebrities covering the songs, but later, even ordinary users joined in.

In some cases, a little boy is dancing and singing in the living room, looking very happy.

Some of them are covers by students on university campuses.

More people started using this song as background music to share videos and photos, joining the discussion on farewell and growth.

This really worried Lu Ran's haters.

Lu Ran has offended quite a few celebrities in the long time since he debuted.

Especially recently, fans of Jiang Yixuan and An Lingling.

Fans of these two groups can easily find the song "Youth" by simply opening Douyin (TikTok) and swiping a few times, even if they add censored words.

I had no idea where this song would pop up.

"I don't want to hear Lu Ran's songs anymore!"

"What kind of kid is this? Can you please stop singing!"

"I'm sick!"

"Only these stupid netizens are singing it. Look at the big singers in the entertainment industry, none of them sing it. What kind of trashy divine song is this?"

"Exactly, no big star would ever sing this song."

However, these fans were mistaken.

While some songs on Shake Hands are indeed hits, "Youth" is not one of them.

That evening, Lin Xingchu posted a video on her Douyin account.

"The song 'Youth' is really popular lately, so I'll sing it too. Who isn't a youth at heart!"

In the video, Lin Xingchu briefly sang the chorus of "Youth".

The video quickly garnered over a million likes.

The topic of Lin Xingchu's cover of "The Boy" even made it to the top of the trending list on Douyin (TikTok).

Subsequently, Li Haorui also released a cover video on his Douyin account.

In the video, Li Haorui also showed photos of himself when he was young.

"I was once a teenager too. Saying goodbye to 2020 and looking forward to 2021, have you seen how much I've grown this year?"

After Lin Xingchu finished singing, the comments section was full of praise.

For example, my sister is so beautiful, and she hasn't changed much from before.

Li Haorui's comment section was different. "Brother Shen, you can't go back. When you were young, you didn't need Shenbao tablets, but now you can't live without them."

"One dose of Shenbao tablets, a lifetime of Shenbao tablets."

"I will never forget that advertisement about a steady happiness."

The comments from netizens left Li Haorui both amused and exasperated.

Good news, he's really made a comeback.

Bad news, the name "Kidney Bro" can't be removed.

Later on, Zhou Hao also covered the song.

On the other side of "The Earth Trainees", Zhao Long and his group also did a cover, riding on the coattails of their own team's popularity.

Zhao Long and his team made a pretty good video; it was carefully designed. The video included footage of them working in the fields, as well as a comparison of when they first arrived.

His skin tone was noticeably darker than before.

Netizens quickly remembered that there was such a program.

"Judging from their appearance, it seems they've really gone to farm."

"I'm from the countryside, that's how it is. You can't grow crops if you're not a true farmer."

"No way? You guys are serious?"

“I’m a villager from nearby, and let me tell you, they really are farming.”

"When will this show premiere? I really need to watch it."

Following these individuals' lead, singers from other companies also took notice of the situation.

Everyone immediately understood.

Covering "Youth" now is all it takes to gain popularity!
You won't get any traffic if you don't do covers.

What are we waiting for!
Soon, many singers in the entertainment industry also joined in.

At the beginning, all the singers who did the cover songs knew Lu Ran, but later all sorts of people came along.

From unknown singers to top-tier singers, they all have it.

After the singer arrived, the actors couldn't sit still either.

Those who could sing a few lines also joined in.

Star Media and Liujin Times couldn't sit still any longer.

The song "Youth" began to sweep the entire internet, and so many celebrities joined in the celebration.

Some celebrities who have already faded from the spotlight have even managed to make a comeback by covering a couple of lines of this song.

But they can't sing.

The conflict between these two companies and Lu Ran is obvious.

Both companies rely on the traffic economy.

That means there are things we can do and things we can't do.

Otherwise, your fans will object after you sing it.

We fans are fighting against you and Lu Ran, and you're singing Lu Ran's songs? You're betraying your fans!

We must not do things that could undermine unity.

Starry Media and Golden Age could only watch helplessly as the entire internet capitalized on the popularity of "Youth," but they couldn't benefit from it.

In Lu Ran's fan group, the song "Youth" has been frequently mentioned in the group chat these past few days, and group members can listen to it anytime they want.

[Guangdong representative Zhang Jinbu: That's not right, so many people have covered it, why hasn't Lu Ran covered it?]

[Wang Baoan, representative from Beijing: Director Lu is trying to avoid suspicion, isn't he? He's the original author; what is Wang Jiayue supposed to do if he covers this song?]

[Representative from Hunan Province, Orange Isle: It doesn't matter. Wang Jiayue's singing is very good. Even if Lu Ran covers it now, I will still consider Wang Jiayue the original singer of this song.]

[US Representative John Sr.: Let's urge Secretary General Lu.]

[Henan Province Representative Liang Mancang: Director Lu hasn't had time these past few days; he's studying. Since Director Lu doesn't have time to sing, then I'll let him sing instead.]

Zhang Jinbu immediately became alert.

[Zhang Jinbu: What brilliant idea have you come up with this time? Please tell me, let me do it, and you'll get commended by Director Lu again!]

Liang Mancang is a content creator on K-site. He received an award from the Ministry of Transport for editing his video last time.

This time, they clearly have another idea.

Immediately, everyone panicked.

You're never going to stop trying to earn merit, are you?

"Stop right there, you guys who have a full granary!"

"You little brat, I'm going to report you!"

"So what if you can edit videos!"

Liang Mancang said proudly, "Inspiration burst forth and I couldn't suppress it at all. I went ahead and did it. This action has nothing to do with fame or fortune."

"Fuck off!"

Nobody believed the nonsense about the granaries being full.

Liang Mancang didn't sit idle either. After preparing the materials, he began editing and sound mixing.

Working until 3 a.m., Liang Mancang finished editing the video.

Editing this video was incredibly easy for him.

All the video footage had formed a continuous picture in his mind; all he needed to do was edit it out.

After editing the video, Liang Mancang uploaded it to K-site.

He waited until the application was approved before sharing the link in Lu Ran's fan group.

"Comrades, the video is finished. @Secretary Li, remember to tell Director Lu and let him see how I edited it."

Liang Mancang then shared the video in his fan group.

Even in the middle of the night, there are always a few night owls in the group who are still awake.

"Let me see what kind of garbage Liang Mancang has produced for everyone today."

"The imperial relief grain has arrived!"

"I knew staying up late tonight was the right thing to do!"

Soon, a group of night owls clicked into the video of "Grain Full Warehouse".
