The next day.
The entertainment section of the newspaper was full of news about "I Am a Singer."
"I Am a Singer's viewership ratings hit a new high!"
"Viewership rating of 3.49% — Already a legendary variety show!"
"Zhang Ye Sings the Divine Song Live!"
"The Hottest Ethnic Trend Tops the Top Chinese Music Chart!"
"Zhang Ye narrowly escaped elimination!"
"Zhao Wuliu becomes eliminated singer!"
"Zhang Ye and Amy narrowly escape relegation!"
"Zhang Ye's votes continue to be low?"
"Zhang Ye is ranked sixth in the latest episode, and sixth overall for the past two episodes!"
"An expert doubts Zhang Ye's singing!"
Today, the entire country had been bombarded by I Am a Singer. Whether it was the topic of discussion or the popularity, the viewership ratings or the song charts, it was number one in all aspects. Almost every citizen participated in the discussion, be it laughing, scolding, or praising.
…
At home.
The Hottest Ethnic Trend was playing on repeat on the computer.
The moment Zhang Ye woke up, he opened the bedroom door and looked out. "Who's playing music?"
His mother turned around and said, "I did. Did you wake up, son?"
"Sorry for waking you up." Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. "I was dreaming while lying comfortably on the soft clouds. Suddenly, a group of aunties came flying up to me and started dancing. It scared me awake. Damn, so it was you who was playing 'The Hottest Ethnic Trend'." To him, this song was always a conditioned reflex.
His mother was puzzled. "Dance? What do you mean? "
Zhang Ye coughed and said, "It's nothing."
His father said, "Your mom has already listened to this song more than ten times this morning."
"I like it." His mother said excitedly, "This song is too good, son. In the past, 'Exaggerated' and 'Wild Rose' were not as good as this song! Your song is pretty good. Sing more songs like this in the future. I like listening to this kind of music! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure."
His father said helplessly, "Does that sound good?"
"What do you know?" His mother stared at him and said, "The song is so good. My son sang it too. There are even people on the Internet who say that my son's singing is bad and that he has run out of talent and can no longer write good songs. Pui! What do they know? This is a good song. Is public art not art? Am I right? "
But his father said, "What are you singing next?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Ye said.
His father said, "Why aren't you singing properly?"
But Zhang Ye smiled. "Dad, I've already sung it well. Do you know how many days I've practiced this song? I practiced for three days, changed more than a dozen versions of the song, and rehearsed more than a dozen times. You may think it's easy, but it's not easy at all. Since I'm on stage, I'll sing every song well. I won't give any discount. "
Does this song have any singing skills?
Do I need to practice for three days?
Is there a need to do so many arrangements?
His father didn't understand, so he didn't say anything more.
Zhang Ye said, "I'm going back to the studio for a bit. I won't be having lunch since I haven't been there in so many days."
His mother continued to listen to the song, "Go, go."
…
Jiaomen East.
Familiar music came from the neighborhood.
Deng, deng deng deng deng deng, deng!
At that moment, Zhang Ye was in a daze. He even had the illusion that he had returned to his previous world!
A group of middle-aged women were twisting and turning.
There was also a leader who spoke from time to time.
"This action is like this."
"Auntie Zhou, raise your hand higher."
"Big Sis Chen, your movements are too small."
"Yes, very good."
"Everyone, dance with me."
"Next, I'll teach you the seventh action."
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded by what he saw!
Holy shit! This was only yesterday's song!
Why was there a dance action today?
Wasn't this too fast?
Zhang Ye suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that this world's plaza dance industry was going to reach its peak in his hands?
Upstairs.
At the studio.
Everyone was here. Zhang Ye's arrival made things lively.
"Director Zhang!"
"Ah, Director Zhang!"
"Boss, you're back!"
"Hahaha, we've all listened to your new song!"
"Awesome!"
"This is amazing!"
Everyone was extremely excited.
Zhang Ye said, "Is it really that amazing?"
"It really is." Ha Qiqi came up and said with a laugh, "When we were watching that episode yesterday, we were still very worried. That song of yours did sound a little off and didn't rank very high either. It was only in sixth place, which was second to last and barely kept your place in the rankings. But who could have expected that when the Celebrity Rankings Index was refreshed at midnight, your popularity would suddenly increase by a little. We were all stunned at that time. With your current popularity, a little increase is already a huge deal. This' The Hottest Ethnic Trend 'is several times more popular than your most popular songs,' Exaggerated, '' Me, '' Wild Rose, '' I Really Love You, 'and so on. This is simply unbelievable!"
Zhang Zuo gave a wry smile. "Yeah, it's too scary."
Wu Yi also said, "All of us have made a mistake in our judgment!"
Little Wang said excitedly, "This is too awesome. A single song has allowed us to unexpectedly gain a lot of middle-aged and elderly fans. This is something that has never happened before. Our influence and attention among the middle-aged and elderly fans were already the worst, but this song has helped us make up for it. We've gained a lot of new fans and made the cake bigger and bigger. This is much more effective than using those old fans to increase their cohesiveness. It's really a great help in increasing our popularity!"
Everyone knew the advantages of expanding one's fan base. In the past, for example, if the audience size was 100 million, even if you turned all 100 million of them into diehard fans, that would still be the limit of your fan base. But expanding one's fan base was different. If you turned 100 million into 200 million, then 200 million into 300 million, the increase in your popularity wouldn't be as simple as just doubling. A celebrity's room for development and potential would also get bigger and bigger!
Every celebrity and team knew this, but a lot of them couldn't do it. A lot of them couldn't go any further after reaching a certain point. For example, a singer like Chen Guang had already reached the top of the music industry. Based on the number of fans he had, his popularity had already reached a ceiling and it would be very difficult for him to go any further. But Zhang Ye managed to do it. His fan base was constantly expanding and extending. This time, it had even extended to the middle-aged and elderly fans. This was undoubtedly exciting news and proved that Zhang Ye's popularity could still soar further in the future!
That was why the studio's staff were very excited!
The popularity of this song had really shocked them. And the popularity of "I Feel Like My Body Has Been Emptied" was also something they had not expected!
It was so popular?
But Zhang Ye was not surprised. This was because he knew that in his previous world, not to mention its connotation or anything else, just based on the popularity and number of plays, there was almost no other song that could beat it. Jay Chou? Andy Lau? Eason Chan? Whoever came would have to kneel!
…
After dealing with the matters here, Zhang Ye quickly left. There was still a lot of work waiting for him at the television station, so he did not have any time to rest.
Downstairs.
Zhang Ye took the elevator down.
When the elevator doors opened, he saw Yang Shu and Chenchen on the other side.
Chenchen glanced at him and waved. "Hi, Zhang Ye."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You're so rude. Call me Uncle Zhang."
Chenchen laughed, "Hur hur."
Yang Shu's expression seemed a little off. She glanced at Zhang Ye and respectfully greeted him, "Senior Bro." Then she left without saying a word.
Zhang Ye said, "Junior Sis, you've been …"
But Yang Shu had already gone upstairs and did not seem to have heard him.
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. He looked at Chenchen and said, "What's wrong with your Auntie Yang?"
Chenchen smirked. "Old Yang is angry at you."
"Ah?" Zhang Ye said in bewilderment, "Why is she angry at me? I didn't provoke her, did I? "
Chenchen did not take the stairs. Instead, she strolled into the elevator. "How would I know about the matters between you adults?"
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "What doesn't a little adult like you know? Alright, I'll go up and check on her. "He followed her back into the elevator and went upstairs again. His junior sis had always been polite to him and would do whatever he said. It was rare for her to throw a little tantrum this time, so Zhang Ye had to show some concern for her.
At Old Yang's place.
The door was not locked and opened with a push.
Zhang Ye blinked and entered the house. "Little Yang, what's the matter?"
Yang Shu was wiping the table and did not say a word.
"Who made you angry?" Zhang Ye deliberately put on a stern face. "Tell me, I'll get an explanation for you!"
Yang Shu finally raised her head and looked at him. She said, "Senior Bro, can you not sing such songs in the future?"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "Why?"
Once Yang Shu started talking, she could not hold back. "I'll say something very disrespectful, but your senior bro wants to criticize you! Since this morning, all the neighborhoods around us have been taken over by "The Hottest Ethnic Trend." Many of the uncles and aunties who learned Taiji Fist from me have come to me to quit and have joined the plaza dance team! Our Taiji Fist team has suffered heavy losses, Senior Bro! Right now, there's only the two of us left in the Taiji lineage. You're the eldest senior bro of this generation, the leader of this generation, so how can you help others! How are you going to lead our Taiji team in the future! "
Ah?
That's all?
Zhang Ye was floored. "I was wondering what it was!"
Yang Shu said with a straight face, "How big of a deal is this!"
"Aiya, Little Yang, you need to look further ahead." Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You're a young lady in the prime of your life, so why are you handing out flyers on the streets every day and keeping an eye on those retired old men and women? If they want to dance, just let them. They're dancing to my songs anyway, so it's only to increase my popularity. When I, your senior bro, reach the S-list and take one of the seven seats, I'll have a lot of influence. When I open up a Taiji Fist training class and set up a company, won't there be a lack of people? At most, I'll make a movie or a TV series, alright? When I promote Taiji Fist, will you still be afraid that people won't know about it? So don't worry, just wait for me to reach the top! "
"Ah, really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Senior Bro, you're still the one with the foresight!"
"Of course, I'm the senior bro!"
After chatting for a while, Yang Shu was finally appeased.
…
On this day.
"The Hottest Ethnic Trend" swept the entire country!
However, no one could have expected that this was only the beginning!
No one could have expected that in the next few days, this song would become so crazy!
