Since his debut in 2015, Lu Chen's fans have increased at an astonishing rate, especially the fans in Waves blog. In just over half a year, it has soared from tens of thousands to more than 15 million.
But the core of his fan support group has always been Lu Jiajun, which was established by Li Mubai.
So far, Lu Jiajun has more than 500,000 members, which is the backbone of Lu Chen's support. The number of QQ groups has reached 200 +. With [Whale TV] Lu Chen Live Room, Waves Blog, Lu Chen Fan Group Official V, and Lu Chen Bar as the base, it has formed a considerable scale.
On the evening of February 18, 2016, the [Asian Chinese Music Chart] Award Ceremony, organized by CCTV and CCTV and broadcast live, received the attention of thousands of fans because Lu Chen had four nominations.
There are many fans, watching TV or live video, while discussing with others in blogs and Tieba. There are new posts in Lu Chen Bar every second, and the PV traffic has set a record.
These fans don't like [Whale TV], nor do they like the style of the blog. They stay in Tieba all year round and post. Once there is any activity, they often attack together, so they are often called "Water Army".
There are two kinds of "Water Army", one is mineral water, and the other is tap water. The former costs money, and the latter is free.
In Lu Chen Bar, it's basically all tap water!
Therefore, when Lu Chen won the best award, the Tieba was boiling, and countless congratulatory posts gushed out like magma that had been pierced through the earth's crust, brushing the front page red!
However, this hot atmosphere did not last long. As the award ceremony continued, it gradually calmed down. Especially when Lu Chen lost the Best Lyrics Award, the Tieba was full of lamentation.
"The Best Lyrics Award is really out of the question, as expected!"
"Don't say I'm ignorant. Who are these people? I really don't know them!"
"You don't know Wang Guangzong? Haven't heard of "Spring Dawn", "The Moon Illuminates My Hometown", and "The End of the Road"? "
"Don't say anymore. Wang Guangzong is still very powerful. He's a real big shot. It's normal for Lu Chen to lose."
"What do you mean by normal? Even if he was very good in the past, I've never heard of his current award-winning work. Who hasn't heard of Lu Chen's' I Love You China '? "
"The awards are not based on the popularity of the songs..."
The fans of Lu Chen's forum expressed their regret and indignation over Lu Chen's failure to win the Best Lyricist Award. However, they were still able to accept it. There were not many extreme comments or people shouting that Central TV was involved in shady dealings.
Compared to Lu Chen's cold reception on the Chinese Music Chart, the honor he had received now made it impossible for people to criticize Central TV's integrity — at least they could guarantee fairness.
Of course, there were also many optimists on Tieba.
Someone posted: "Don't panic, everyone. There's still the Best Composition and Best Album awards!"
His post was immediately echoed by other fans: "Yes, the Best Composition Award has begun. Lu Chen has a chance!"
However, not everyone supported his view. A friend with the ID Heavy Metal Element replied: "He doesn't even have a chance for the Best Lyricist Award. How can he have a chance for the Best Composition Award? Dream on? 'I Love You China' is just so-so. It's just because it's a theme song. Otherwise, it wouldn't even have a nomination. "
"To put it bluntly, Lu Chen is being praised too highly. Lin Chuxuan is not any worse than him among the newcomers!"
Heavy Metal Element was obviously a passerby. His fan value in Lu Chen's forum was 0. Therefore, this reply immediately angered his friends. In the blink of an eye, there was a long line of attacks.
"Where did this black person come from? Get lost as far as your thoughts can go!"
"Hehe, I'm jealous again."
"I'm so jealous. Speaking of which, are you a fan of Lin Chuxuan?"
"Everyone, don't be fooled. This guy is deliberately picking a fight. It's best to ignore him."
Faced with the attacks of many fans, Heavy Metal Element replied again: "Hehe, Lu Chen's fans are all like this? I'll say it here today. If he can win the Best Composition Award, I'll eat this custom-made magic keyboard in front of me! "
This taunt was so powerful that it instantly attracted a lot of hatred and angered even more friends!
Betting on eating keyboards was a common trick used by netizens in Tieba and forums. There were also people betting on eating sh * t. Of course, that was not within the scope of discussion. There was actually someone who would eat a keyboard if they lost — a chocolate keyboard.
Because it was a trick, no one would take it seriously. It was just that Heavy Metal Element's attitude was too infuriating. He insulted all the fans in the forum.
In addition, the "custom-made magic keyboard" was also a very subtle taunt.
The magic keyboard was the aristocrat of keyboards. The normal mass-produced version started at a thousand dollars. The custom-made version was very common and ordinary people couldn't afford it.
And the netizens in Tieba were basically ordinary people.
But many fans remained silent about Heavy Metal Element's taunt.
Because to be honest, the possibility of Lu Chen winning the Best Composition Award was really very low. The Best Composition Award was a lot more important than the Best Lyrics Award and the Best Newcomer Award. In the history of the Asian Chinese Songs Chart, no one had ever won the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Composition Award at the same time.
Most importantly, Lu Chen's competitors were too strong — Dong Zhen, Zhang Keyi, and Tang Xiya!
Generally speaking, the popularity of a songwriter was Big and weaker than that of a singer. The two were not on the same level at all.
People would only remember who the original singer of a good song was and rarely care about the author, unless the author was the singer himself. No matter how high the songwriter's status in the circle was, it couldn't change this phenomenon.
Dong Zhen, Zhang Keyi, and Tang Xiya were all famous composers whose names were remembered by many fans!
That was why Heavy Metal Element dared to taunt the group in Lu Chen's Tieba so unscrupulously.
Then what was the use of taunting him? The result would only make him more proud.
While the war was raging in the Tieba, the winner of the Best Composition Award was about to be announced in the National Grand Theater.
Li Xing was in charge of announcing the winner.
Li Xing, 32 years old, was one of the rare three superstars in the country. She had debuted for 17 years, published more than a dozen albums, starred in many movies and TV series, and achieved great achievements in all aspects.
In terms of status in the circle, she was a level higher than Chen Fei 'er, but now Chen Fei' er had the momentum of catching up with the popular "Autumn in My Heart".
Li Xing was wearing a sapphire blue deep V-neck evening gown that night. Under the spotlight, half of her breasts were exposed, and her mature charm couldn't be hidden.
She gracefully tore open the sealed envelope, took out the card from inside, and opened it.
The next moment, Heavenly Queen Li showed a surprised expression, as if she had seen something incredible.
Her expression was also displayed on the big LED screen behind her, and it was seen by hundreds of millions of viewers at the same time.
But everyone had seen many award ceremonies and knew that the guest presenters loved to play this kind of expression trick. They pretended to be in suspense, but often there wasn't much suspense, and it was just to create a little dramatic effect.
The guests at the scene were even more used to it, and quietly waited for her to reveal the mystery.
However, Li Xing opened her red lips and spat out two words.
"Lu Chen."
Lu Chen … Lu Chen? How could it be Lu Chen!?
The audience was stunned. It was as if a supporting role had suddenly become the main character.
It was too unbelievable!
But the music that instantly sounded in the main hall let everyone know that they did not hear wrongly.
"A lark flies across the blue sky, I love you China ~ I love you China, I love you China ~
"I love you vigorous seedlings in spring, I love you golden fruits in autumn …"
That's right, it was Lu Chen, and it was his "I love you China"!
With this work that was already a household name, Lu Chen won the Best Composition Crown of the 16th Asian Chinese Top Songs Chart, winning his second Golden Lark Award, and it was an even more important one!
Li Xing smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lu Chen!"
The spotlight instantly shone on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen did not expect that after losing the Best Lyrics Award, he could actually win the Best Composition Award. He was really caught off guard and could not help but look stunned.
Of course, his reaction was normal. He was not a robot, and it would be strange if he did not react.
Chen Fei 'er gently pushed him, turned around, and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"
She was the first to clap her hands.
The audience seemed to wake up from a dream, and at the same time, there was a hubbub of applause.
Who would have thought that Central TV would release such a big bomb? It was estimated that tomorrow's entertainment news would be torn apart.
In fact, strictly speaking, Lu Chen deserved to win the Best Composition Award. The song he nominated, "I love you China," had a good combination of pop elements and main melody style. It could be said that it was the best work of the same genre in recent years, and it was the most popular song that was most appreciated by the public.
The reason why everyone was not optimistic about Lu Chen before was that his competitors were too strong.
The most criticized thing about the Asian Chinese Top Songs Chart, which had been held for more than a dozen years, was that there was a phenomenon of seniority. Most of the important awards would not be awarded to young people who had just debuted.
As a result, in the last session, there was a big news!
However, people with discerning eyes could see that Central TV was not deliberately playing to the gallery, but deliberately encouraged and supported the new power of pop music, so that young musicians could have more opportunities to stand out.
This was a good thing for the domestic pop music industry, and people could not help but look forward to the Global Chinese Top Songs Chart, which would be held on December 31st this year, by the merger of the Asian Chinese Top Songs Chart and the China Original Music Chart!
Therefore, while everyone was surprised, they also gave a warm applause to Lu Chen, who had walked onto the stage.
This was his glorious moment!
