I became a music industry godfather by writing confidantes.

Chapter 154 Public Opinion

"Congratulations on your fortune! Congratulations on your wonderful life!"

The song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is a perfect example of how something so popular can be both elegant and vulgar, expressing emotions directly and frankly!

—"Yes, it sounds straightforward, but upon reflection, who would refuse to wish for intelligence, health, and longevity in the new year?"

Happiness and wealth, indeed.

"The melody is so catchy. I listened to it on the Spring Festival Gala last night, and now I can't stop thinking about 'Congratulations on getting rich' and 'Congratulations on your wonderful performance'."

I'm sure I'll get rich this year, not for any other reason than I've been listening to "Congratulations on Getting Rich" on repeat all morning.

"What if you don't get rich?"

"It must be that Jin Yong didn't sing with enough sincerity!"

—Jin Yong: I'm innocent! (Laughing and crying)

[Oh my god, it's our Brother Dayong! This guy has been struggling for years, and suddenly he's quietly appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. We fans are all very surprised.]

—"Da Yong was a top-tier singer back then, but I don't know why he went into rap music. He released two rap albums and ended up ruining his career."

"To be fair, there's still too little fertile ground for rap in China. Gao Zhuo, one of the nine queens of rap back then, has disappeared without a trace. Tuya, at least, is still active in the scene, and she even released a song called 'Birthday Blessing Song' last year."

[I never expected Jin Yong to collaborate with Yang Du. How did these two end up together?]

"Jin Yong also graduated from the Beijing Conservatory of Music, making him Yang Du's senior. I guess they got together through that alumni connection."

Q

[It's a new song from last night, but I heard it playing on the street when I went out to buy groceries today. The speed at which it spreads is amazing!]

—"You're not alone, up ahead."

—"You're not human (angry)"

"No, I mean I bought small yellow croakers in the fresh food section of the supermarket, and they were playing 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' (a popular Chinese song) in the supermarket."

"That doesn't mean you can call me a non-human being."

""

—"I can't laugh anymore, family members."

My mom always complains that I'm the dumbest, and that I don't know how to say auspicious phrases when visiting relatives. But with "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity), I only need to memorize the lyrics, so easy! Mom doesn't have to worry anymore!

Originally, everyone was chatting about Yang Du's new song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in the square, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, by the afternoon, a discordant voice quietly began to spread.

This voice first appeared in the Huaban Goose Group, a magical place that can be called the source of entertainment gossip and public opinion.

A user named "[Red Carp, Green Carp, and Donkey]" posted a message titled "[Only I Think 'Wishing You Prosperity']".

The post asked, "Do the lyrics make you feel very uncomfortable?"

"Let's see how Yang Du's new song sends blessings to women."

May all the girls in the world marry a good boy and be together forever.

I'm so curious, why is getting married the highest blessing given to a girl?

Is a woman's personal value realized through marriage, or is it solely dependent on marriage?

Can't we wish the girl success in her career, independence and confidence, and promotion and wealth?

Furthermore, blessings given to elders are also given in a differentiated manner.

Grandma – sports competition.

My third uncle runs a business and lives in a mansion.

Do women not deserve to have careers and wealth?

Are the values ​​behind these lyrics too outdated and feudal?

The thought that such lyrics still exist in 7202 makes me tremble uncontrollably.

[What the original poster said makes so much sense. I felt something was off when I heard it last night, and now I realize it was a case of differential treatment.]

There are many young people in society who choose not to marry these days. Both men and women have the right to choose not to marry. Women can live very well without marriage and can also succeed in their careers. Keep going, sisters!

[Family members, does anyone understand? These lyrics are so paternalistic. I'm already annoyed enough by my parents pressuring me to get married during the Chinese New Year holiday, and now I'm being lectured for listening to a song. It's such an absurd situation.]

Yang Du is a man, so naturally he wouldn't write lyrics that are friendly to women. Fans, please don't attack me. I'm just stating the facts; these lyrics are narrow-minded.

For a time, the post was filled with criticism of the lyrics' values ​​and moral judgment of Yang Du, but normal netizens felt that this was simply nitpicking.

Yang Du probably racked his brains for three days and three nights trying to figure it out. He clearly wrote a song to wish someone a prosperous year, but he still got criticized. Even a dog would shake its head at it.

Following the original poster's logic, I could also say that these lyrics are discriminatory towards men. Why only wish for girls to marry good boys, and why can't we wish for boys to marry good girls?

"Yeah, why? This song doesn't care about men's marital status; Yang Du is discriminating against men!"

—Given that Yang Du discriminates against both men and women, what is Yang Du's true intention?

—Yang Du: I'm just being nosy. None of you will get rich, I'm telling you!

"Exactly, if we're going to argue like this, we might as well all just shut up."

[No way, OP, is it possible that my 36 laps weren't running, but playing mahjong?]

—So you mean this old lady is only fit to play mahjong at home, right?

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you guys."

"What's so hard to explain? It's just your subconscious mind expressing itself."

[Please go away if you're being noisy, do you hear me? Are you deaf? Please go away! Am I knocking on your head? Didn't you hear me telling you to go away?]

Because of this matter, Yang Du had to hold a brief meeting with Yuan Xiuqing on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"It seems that what you mentioned last time, that Zhao Heng's agent used his connections to tell you that someone in Yun Ge wanted to get me, is true," Yang Du said.

"I've dealt with Liu Yuan a few times when I worked at a film and television company. He has a good reputation in the industry and is sensible; he doesn't resort to underhanded tactics. As for Zhao Heng, he seems shrewd, but he's not that shrewd in reality."

Yuan Xiuqing continued, "The timing is very opportune. The Spring Festival Gala just aired, it's trending on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and negative voices are already emerging. This is definitely not a natural fermentation of netizens' emotions; it's clearly an organized and premeditated online troll campaign stirring up trouble."

This tactic is common in the entertainment industry; even if it doesn't cause any real harm, it can still disgust you.

"This afternoon I contacted several familiar marketing accounts and prepared public relations scripts—"

'

The approach is to defuse the attack by saying things like, "It's just a New Year's greeting song, meant to bring good luck. Don't make a big deal out of it," or "It's the New Year, everyone has a tough time, there's no need for moral judgment."

"However, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better now."

"What happened?"

"Your book fans have launched a full-scale attack in the square." Yuan Xiuqing's expression was somewhat strange. "It's truly magic defeating magic."
