Chinese entertainment: Top stars have no holidays

Chapter 104 What does it mean that Jiang Baifa has a song called "Big Bowl Wide Noodles"?!

November 25th, Qingdao, sunny.

There's only one day left until filming officially wraps up for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

The entire series took a full ninety days to film and is finally nearing its end.

As filming neared its end, everyone's mood became relaxed and light, with less of the usual tension and busyness of rushing to meet deadlines and more of a sense of ease as the project wrapped up.

Jiang Bai's scenes are not scheduled today; he only has a few short closing scenes in the morning.

Before 11 a.m., Jiang Bai had completely finished all his filming tasks for the day. After changing out of his costume and removing his makeup, he bid a relaxed farewell to the crew and returned to the hotel with his assistant.

Everyone in the crew thought that Jiang Bai had simply finished work early to rest and wait for the filming to wrap up the next day.

No one knew that this seemingly stable rising star, who was focused on filming, was about to do something big on the internet today.

Back in his hotel room, Jiang Bai stayed alone in the quiet space.

Outside the window is Qingdao's clear blue sky, and inside the room is quiet and still, with only the phone screen quietly lit up.

The page remains on the pre-edited Weibo draft and the interface for scheduled postings from the Bilibili backend.

He calmly browsed today's news on Weibo, patiently waiting for noon to arrive.

Over the past ten days or so, thanks to Dai Lu's behind-the-scenes manipulation and the support from various industry peers, the "Chris Wu's Big Bowl Wide Noodles" meme has continued to gain traction.

The epic fan war and nationwide meme craze that originally belonged to the fall and winter of 2018 were ignited more than half a year ahead of schedule.

Kris Wu's high-end fashion persona and rap ceiling filter have developed huge cracks, with a constant stream of doubts from the internet. His fans, known as "Meigeni," are exhausted from running around and fighting back against him.

But Jiang Bai knew very well that this was not enough.

Simply relying on netizens making memes, passersby mocking, and fans fighting won't fundamentally harm Chris Wu.

According to the original timeline, the other party could have turned the tide with a single song, turning black into red, clearing up all negative reputations, and stabilizing their top spot and persona.

They even managed to stomp Kun Ge into the dirt.

Jiang Bai couldn't stand seeing Kun Ge being bullied by others.

Kun is already in such a bad situation. He had most of the former Reed Sister who he could have had, and we can't let Kun be bullied by Chris Wu in the future!

and so!

Since the butterfly effect has already begun, and since the feud has been completely formed, let's go all the way and completely cut off any possibility of Chris Wu turning things around, and personally block all his escape routes.

He wrote lyrics and music, arranged and recorded the music a week in advance, perfected the final product, and had his studio make the music video, all in preparation for this perfect opportunity.

At exactly 12 o'clock, with the midday sun shining brightly, Weibo's traffic peak arrived precisely on time.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Bai tapped the screen and published with a single click.

His personal Weibo account has been inactive for many days; the last post was a selfie he posted five days ago.

Today, I finally updated my blog with a new post: "Rap is really popular lately, so I'm joining in the fun as well, which is also a response to the rumors that circulated online some time ago."

The copywriting is concise and direct.

Below the blog post is a three-and-a-half-minute video.

At the same time, Jiang Bai's brand new Bilibili personal account, which had just been registered and had never published any content before, simultaneously published this video with one click.

The video is extremely simple and clean, with no fancy special effects or real people appearing on screen. It is a simple and smooth 2D line animation throughout, with a refreshing and soothing style.

In the scene, a simple bowl of wide noodles slowly emerges and flows dynamically, accompanied by a soothing and unrestrained atmosphere.

With a beautifully melodious accompaniment, Jiang Bai's clean, clear, and relaxed voice slowly began to play.

This song is "Big Bowl Wide Noodles".

"I never dared to believe that a big bowl could make me happy, but this was your intention, perhaps it was fate."

"Let's have a friendly spar, let's see who's better in the martial arts world. At the sound of a command, we'll meet at the noodle shop in this critical moment!"

With its smooth melody, thought-provoking lyrics, and Jiang Bai's carefree attitude, this song perfectly embodies the essence of Chinese pop rap.

Chris Wu's embarrassing impromptu blunder was transformed into a catchy, insightful, and expansive rap single.

This song has a great rhythm and a good melody. More importantly, the lyrics have attitude and vision.

If you listen carefully to the lyrics, they are quite intriguing.

Why be confrontational? Look how big and round this bowl is.

When we gather, we should raise our glasses; look at this long and wide glass.

This bowl is big, so don't let vanity get the better of you.

[Don't speak yet; if I don't want to give you a chance, don't argue.]

[That's enough for now. After listening to this song, go wash up and go to bed.]

Don't easily deny yourself; I have my own world.

No one can define me; happiness is the true meaning of life.

I've spent my life wandering the world, and I've become indifferent to the present.

With a laugh, I roam the world alone; why bother with victory or defeat?

The lyrics clearly refer to Jiang Bai's confrontation with Chris Wu backstage at the Tmall Double 11 Gala.

Jiang Bai changed many lyrics and changed some subjects, turning it into a diss track against Kris Wu.

He not only satirized Kris Wu's vanity in his lyrics, but also gave him a good dressing down.

Finally, he expressed that he is very open-minded, doesn't care about other people's opinions, won't deny himself, and has his own principles.

It can be said that Jiang Bai said both good and bad things.

While mocking Chris Wu by stomping on his head, she also generously forgave him and praised herself for her magnanimity.

happy.

This diss song, which is common in the rap scene, can provide a lot of fun!

The moment the Weibo post was published, the entire internet exploded.

Without any prior promotion, Jiang Bai's post saw its traffic surge at an alarming rate, instantly overwhelming Weibo's initial traffic pool.

In previous years, a sudden, top-tier trending event of this magnitude, a viral sensation across the entire internet, would have been enough to crash the entire Weibo server.

However, after the painful lesson of Lu Han's announcement of his relationship paralyzing the entire internet, Weibo has already quietly expanded its backup servers and strengthened its instantaneous response capabilities.

Today, the server was hit by another massive surge of traffic, but it managed to withstand the terrifying data deluge and avoid a repeat of the infamous crash.

However, the backend data continued to fluctuate wildly and was on the verge of overload. All maintenance personnel were urgently deployed to stabilize the system.

#Jiang Baifa Song Diss Chris Wu#

This term instantly and incredibly quickly surpassed all other trending topics online, climbing to the top of the trending list in a second. It was highlighted, bolded, and highlighted in red, and its popularity completely overshadowed the second-place topic.

In just ten seconds, the entry garnered over ten million views.

In one minute, it broke 50 million.

Breaking 100 million in just three minutes!

In this era, Weibo has indeed generated a huge amount of traffic, with tens of millions of people online almost every minute at noon.

A terrifying surge in traffic swept across the entire internet, spreading from within the fan community to the general public.

Countless netizens who were browsing Weibo, forums, and watching videos were completely stunned by this sudden and shocking diss.

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves; a towering storm arises from the ground.

No one expected that Jiang Bai, who always seemed honest and dedicated to filming or various business activities, would be so unexpected.

It's astonishing that they would respond to the recent typhoon controversy after the Tmall Double 11 Gala in such a bold, straightforward, and explosive way, directly confronting Kris Wu, a veteran top star in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Bilibili was the first to fall victim to the virus.

The video "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" released by Jiang Bai's new account garnered over 100,000 views within ten minutes and over one million views within fifteen minutes, without any prior promotion.

Because when he posted it, he very impolitely added the keywords "[Chris Wu]" and "[Big Bowl Wide Noodles]".

At that time, Bilibili was full of Kris Wu's parodies, and the traffic was incredibly high.

Likes, coins, and favorites surged wildly, and the barrage of comments instantly filled the entire screen, densely covering the whole picture.

The "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" meme, which was originally only circulating on Bilibili and had not yet fully broken into the mainstream, exploded across the community and became a top-tier meme known to everyone within hours of the release of Jiang Bai's diss single.

Countless fans, passersby, and netizens flooded the comment section, causing public opinion to boil over and the level of discussion to skyrocket.

Jiang Bai's fans, especially those who prefer white rice, were the first to go on a wild celebration.

"My god! Jiang Bai is so daring! He's the number one in the Chinese entertainment industry! He actually dares to go head-to-head with a top star!"

"Who understands! A while ago, someone was bullied and treated arrogantly backstage, and he directly wrote a song in response, using his work to shut them up. That level of composure, confidence, and ability is off the charts!"

"This isn't just joining in the fun! This is the ultimate diss! The gentlest knife is the most deadly; outwardly calm and composed, yet every word is carefully chosen, brimming with veiled sarcasm!"

"Wasn't Chris Wu just showing off and acting cool because of his seniority? Didn't he call himself a leader in rap? Now he's been completely crushed by original singer Jiang Bai. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"This is so exciting! It's been years since the Chinese entertainment industry has seen such a high-profile, public feud between top celebrities!"

"The old and new top stars are going head-to-head; this time it's really going to be a bloodbath!"

"Others rely on fan-controlled comments and copywriting to fight, but Jiang Bai relies on original singles and overwhelming works to create conflict. This is a classic case of 'dimensional reduction'!"

"Waiting for Meganies to break down! Their idol's proud rap persona has been completely shattered by a top star from the film and television industry with an original rap song. It's so satisfying!"

Although Meigeni was unilaterally crushed in the fan war some time ago, winning the public opinion and saving face, it was ultimately just a tug-of-war between fans, while the main figure remained low-key and silent.

Many passersby also felt that Jiang Bai was too docile and not tough enough.

Today's song "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" has given all the fans a sense of pride and confidence.

Their own idol is never weak or easily bullied; they simply disdain verbal disputes. If they really want to fight back, they directly use their works to crush the competition—high-end, dignified, domineering, and composed.

Following closely behind were a massive influx of onlookers who rushed to the scene, as well as netizens on various platforms, pushing the public opinion to its peak.

The major entertainment gossip groups on Douban exploded with posts, and countless new posts flooded the screen.

Eight out of ten posts on the homepage are about Jiang Baifa's online feud with Chris Wu.

The topic trended and dominated the charts, with comments piling up one after another, getting higher and higher.

"Holy crap! The biggest entertainment scandal of the year is here! No doubt about it! A new top star is going head-to-head with a veteran top star, this battle is going to be amazing!"

"I initially thought the recent typhoon aftermath was just ordinary fan wars, but I didn't expect Jiang Bai to pull off such a big move, releasing a diss track. This bold action completely stunned everyone!"

"The contrast is too stark! Chris Oh's impromptu, awkward rambling was both corny and cheap."

"Jiang Bai has directly adapted it into a complete original rap song. The melody is catchy, the vocals are powerful, and the scope is huge. It's obvious who truly understands rap!"

"People used to rave about Kris Wu as the savior of Chinese rap and the pinnacle of mentors, but now it seems really ironic."

"A professional rap mentor's improvisation skills are inferior to a newcomer actor?"

"To be honest, Jiang Bai really won badly this time."

"A single song directly mocks someone, and it's actually quite well done. This behavior is very much in the pop culture scene, and it's also satisfying. It instantly wins over casual listeners."

"Finally, someone dared to put an end to Chris Oh's arrogant persona! He's been throwing his weight around backstage for years, acting like he owns the place, and behaving like a diva. Today, he's finally been thoroughly humiliated!"

Hupu, Tieba, and other forums frequented by straight men were completely engulfed in celebration, with millions of JRs (Hupu users) mobilized to create memes, take screenshots, and more.

The post sparked heated discussion.

People were already extremely annoyed by Chris Wu's self-proclaimed status as the pinnacle of rap and his wanton mockery of other artists in the scene, but no one had ever confronted him directly.

Now Jiang Bai is leading the charge, accurately hitting everyone's sore spots and instantly winning over a huge number of passersby.

For the current users of Hupu and Tieba.

If you stand up and diss Kris Wu, then we're definitely brothers!

We're not the kind of people who just stand by and do nothing; we have to cheer on our brothers!

Immediately, Hupu and Tieba were filled with voices supporting Jiang Bai.

"I suggest that Jiang Bai be the initiator of the second season of 'The Rap of China'! That's the true vision and spirit of rap!"

"Hilarious! Professional mentors are no match for crossover newcomers. Chris Wu's image as the pinnacle of rap has been completely shattered today!"

""

"Jiang Bai hasn't even released a formal album yet, but he casually wrote an impromptu song and completely crushed Dianman's years of professional rapping. This comparison is practically a public execution!"

"They used to boast that he was going to conquer the international music scene and crush newcomers in the domestic entertainment industry, but now it seems like a joke. His ability doesn't match his ambition, and his pretentious image is all built up by marketing."

Public opinion across the internet was overwhelmingly in favor of Jiang Bai, with almost everyone siding with him.

No one thought Jiang Bai went too far; on the contrary, everyone was just having fun and taking the opportunity to mock Chris Wu.

To be honest, if Jiang Bai released a song dissing a celebrity with a good reputation, most casual listeners would actually have some negative opinions.

After all, in Chinese culture, people prefer a humble public figure rather than one who goes around picking fights and causing trouble.

But Kris Wu is different. After the Little J Na incident, he has lost all public favor, and the public mostly views him with disgust.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many controversial stories about him.

Moreover, as everyone delved deeper into the gossip, they all figured out why Jiang Bai was dissing Chris Wu.

He was the one who first acted arrogantly and diva-like, taking advantage of his status as a senior and top star, and deliberately made things difficult for juniors. He was the one who first put on airs and looked down on newcomers.

Jiang Bai did not incite fans to argue or hurl insults at each other. He simply responded to the controversy with a modified rap song and the fairest diss track in the hip-hop community. This was already a very dignified and classy act.

Since Chris Wu claims to be a leading figure in the hip-hop community, I will respond to him head-on using the hip-hop community's methods.

Jiang Bai's actions, ironically, made many passersby admire him even more.

He's a player with big ambitions, overwhelming strength, and a natural sense of humor, perfectly hitting all the sweet spots for netizens.

Now everyone is just waiting to see how Kris Wu will respond.

Urgent!

The old and new top stars should have a fierce battle!

We want to see rivers of blood!

Meanwhile, at the center of the storm, Chris Wu had just finished a work trip.

Prior to this, his team was methodically managing the online meme surrounding "big bowl wide noodles," attempting to gradually cool down and mitigate the impact of the negative publicity.

Chris Wu didn't take it seriously at first, and even thought that this minor public opinion storm would subside on its own in a few days.

They could also gain some free publicity by doing this, and they didn't take the whole thing seriously at all.

Who hasn't been the subject of internet memes?

There are many precedents, such as Huang Xiaoming and others.

Until he took the phone from the staff and saw the ridiculously popular hashtag #JiangBaifaGeDISSChrisWu# that was firmly locked at the top of the trending searches.

At that moment, the relaxed and carefree look on his face vanished without a trace.

Filled with doubt, Chris Wu clicked on the trending topic and followed the link to watch the three-and-a-half-minute video of "Big Bowl Wide Noodles".

A simple and clean 2D animation comes into view, followed by Jiang Bai's clear, unrestrained, rhythmic, and light-hearted singing voice.

At first, he was somewhat disdainful and contemptuous, thinking that Jiang Bai had just gone mad and was trying to ride on the coattails of the situation.

But as the lyrics are sung one by one, the melody unfolds little by little.

The lyrics, subtly sharp, accurately pinpointed the backstage standoff at the recent Tmall Double 11 Gala, delivering a barrage of overt and covert satire.

The words appear open-minded and carefree on the surface, but are actually full of sarcasm.

Especially when you hear lyrics like "Don't let vanity get the better of you," "Don't argue if you don't want to give me a chance," and "After listening to this song, just wash up and go to sleep."

Chris Wu's face darkened visibly.

From initial indifference and disdain, to astonishment and gloom, and finally to a completely ashen face.

After listening to the three-and-a-half-minute video, his face turned as dark and frightening as the bottom of a pot, and the atmosphere around him became terrifyingly low, instantly dropping to freezing point.

He stared intently at his phone screen, his eyes filled with disbelief, and the anger in his chest surged wildly, almost overwhelming his reason.

He just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

How dare Jiang Bai?

A newcomer who has just reached the top and whose foundation is not yet solid, a junior actor in the entertainment industry, actually dared to personally write and release a song to publicly diss himself.

What frustrated him the most and broke his defenses the most was...

Jiang Bai used the material to mock and retaliate against him, which was actually the "big bowl of wide noodles" meme that had just been started by someone!

He used his most embarrassing scandals to create a catchy rap single as a way to mock himself.

This is no longer a simple fan war or a publicity stunt.

This is a blatant public execution and a slap in the face!

Are all the newcomers in the Chinese entertainment industry this brave and reckless these days?

Consumed by rage, Chris Wu's mind raced, instantly connecting all the dots.

The "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" meme that suddenly went viral and inexplicably spread a while ago, along with the overwhelming number of parody videos, mocking posts, and casual memes online, was definitely the work of Jiang Bai's team!

No, it isn't!

Since he jumped out and released a diss track, he has to take the blame for this and must be beaten up by Chris Wu Biaolang.

This debt must be settled with Jiang Bai!

Filled with anger and frustration, Chris Wu's fingertips trembled as he clicked on the comment section of Jiang Bai's Weibo post.

This revelation completely shattered his mental state, almost causing him to suffer a brain hemorrhage on the spot.

The entire comment section has tens of thousands of top comments, with the top comments being unanimously praising Jiang Bai and mocking and crushing Chris Wu.

Not a single comment spoke up for him.

Megni's attempts to defend her have been completely drowned out, without even a chance to surface.

"Help! Jiang Bai is absolutely insane! He used the opponent's meme to finish them off! I could laugh about this for a year!"

"The contrast is absolutely stark! Both are big bowls of wide noodles, but one is rustic, embarrassing, and utterly shameful, while the other is effortlessly sophisticated and exudes class. Who can understand it?!"

"Kris Wu's biggest black mark in his life was turned into a diss track by Jiang Bai. This is a top-notch comeback against his opponent, he's so clever!"

"I advise that electric eel to learn a thing or two and stop bragging about being the leading figure in Chinese rap. Your improvisation skills are really inferior to those of a new singer who's crossed over from acting!"

"While saying things like 'Why bother with a confrontation, why bother with winning or losing,' every line of the lyrics is full of sarcasm and ridicule. I declare that Jiang Bai is the most sarcastic celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

"I'm dying of laughter. His own embarrassing joke has been turned into a legendary diss track to criticize him. Chris Oh is probably going to delete the video and run away tonight!"

"I suggest Chris Wu step down and give up his position as the initiator of 'The Rap of China' to Jiang Bai. That's the kind of person who truly has an attitude towards rap!"

"Vanity at play, lack of class, can't accept defeat—the lyrics are a perfect description, completely hitting someone's sore spot, hahaha!"

"I was thinking the 'big bowl of wide noodles' meme was getting a bit tired of it, but Jiang Bai's move has revitalized the whole trend and conveniently cemented Chris Wu's place on the pillar of shame!"

"Meigeni, stop trying to defend yourselves. The facts are clear: you were completely outmatched in singing ability, songwriting, and overall vision. What are you trying to justify?"

Each harsh comment was like a needle, piercing deeply into Chris Wu's heart.

The further he scrolled down, the darker his face became, the more furious he grew, his heart pounded, his blood surged violently, and his vision blurred.

He has been in the Chinese entertainment industry for many years, reaching the top of the entertainment circle for several years, holding high-end endorsements, international resources, and top traffic. When has he ever suffered such grievances?

He has always been the one to crush newcomers, mock juniors, and look down on artists in the industry.

No newcomer has ever dared to so openly and brazenly criticize and ridicule him!

Today, Jiang Bai has thoroughly trampled his pride and dignity into the ground and rubbed them repeatedly.

The angrier Chris Wu became, the less he could catch his breath, and with a sudden jolt, he leaned back and fell to the ground.

The staff surrounding him were all terrified.

"Chris!"

"Quick! Call an ambulance!"

"Chris was so angry he fainted!"
