Xiangjiang was the gateway to South China and the mainland's bridgehead to South Asia and the Western world. Since the beginning of the last century, Xiangjiang's economic development had always been ahead of the domestic and had long reached the standards of developed countries.
However, since the beginning of the new century, especially after the explosion of the Internet industry, Xiangjiang gradually fell behind, especially in the IT industry. There were only a few local high-tech companies in Xiangjiang, and the talents trained by the University of Technology often chose to go to domestic or foreign countries to develop.
The unique cultural atmosphere, the lag of the industrial system, and the rapid and intense pace of life and work led to the average time spent on the Internet for young people in Xiangjiang.
The Internet space that young people in Xiangjiang usually liked to browse and communicate was mainly concentrated in a few big BSS, or large foreign social network service sites, and finally Hong Kong blogs in Xiangjiang.
Other than professionals, very few people liked to browse domestic websites. Even if the domestic websites were far more developed than Xiangjiang, young people in Xiangjiang rarely interacted with domestic netizens.
Pride and isolation were the portrayal of them.
Therefore, the Internet circle of Xiangjiang was a relatively closed virtual world. The Hong Kong forum was undoubtedly one of the biggest fortresses in this world. Most people had their own accounts on this BBS website.
The Hong Kong forum account was also connected to the Hong Kong blog. The combination of the two was basically the online home of the people in Xiangjiang. If you wanted to know about the big and small things in Xiangjiang, you could get first-hand information on the Hong Kong forum and blog.
The Hong Kong forum had a total of twelve main sections, and the [Pop Music] section was one of them.
"Has anyone heard this song?" The post was uploaded at 11 o'clock in the evening. There were many netizens in the section. Most of them were fans of pop music, and there were even some professional singers.
Xiangjiang's pop music started in the 1970s. Like Xiangjiang's movies, it had a glorious period. A large number of Xiangjiang singers, represented by Cantonese songs, had a high reputation in the mainland.
Although Xiangjiang's pop music was showing a trend of decline and had fallen into an embarrassing situation in recent years, the number of fans was still quite large. Therefore, the popularity of the [Pop Music] section had always been very high.
Similar posts were very common, and many enthusiastic netizens clicked on the post.
The poster's name was Vivienne, and she was registered as a girl. She wrote in her post, "Tonight, I went to Lan Gui Fang with my friends to play. At La Dolce Vita 97, I happened to run into the LDV Singing King Award held by the bar. Then, I unexpectedly saw Ye Xuan singing on stage, a song by Liu Tian Wang, 'Breaking Dawn' …"
Seeing this, everyone was a bit confused. Since Ye Xuan was singing Liu Tian Wang's "Breaking Dawn", then who hadn't heard of this song?
He didn't expect Vivienne to not waste any ink on Ye Xuan. She focused on the participant that appeared after Ye Xuan. She used exaggerated and enthusiastic strokes to describe how handsome this participant was, how good his singing was, and how touching it was.
Finally, she desperately wanted to know where she could download the original version of this contestant's song.
At the end of the post, there was a video taken by a mobile phone.
This strange turn of the road, this exaggerated tone, made many of the single members of the forum feel very unhappy. Many people secretly suspected that it was deliberately hyping up and stepping on Ye Xuan to rise to the top.
It was not surprising that there was such a guess. Right now, the pop music world of Xiangjiang was in chaos. In order to gain a higher position, new artists and singers used all kinds of unscrupulous and unscrupulous means to hype up. Naturally, the [Pop Music] section could not escape the influence of this trend.
But regardless of whether it was a hype or not, everyone clicked on the video.
They decided to take a look first. If it was really a hype, then regardless of whether the original poster was a girl or not, they would definitely scold her and ask the moderator to delete the post!
Needless to say, this seven-minute video was a recording of Lu Chen singing "The Love of My Life" at La Dolce Vita 97, from the moment he went on stage to the moment Ye Xuan appeared.
After watching the video, the forum members who boasted of themselves as veterans fell into a short period of silence.
A large number of replies appeared after a few minutes.
"I've never heard this song before, but to be fair, it's a very good work!"
"I agree with the 7th floor. It's a good song, but I've never heard it before."
"I can't find it on the Internet. Since it could be an original work, I can only say that this singer is very good."
"Well, his guitar playing is very sharp, and his singing level is very high. He should be a professional."
"Really?"
"Hey, he's so handsome and powerful. He should have been famous long ago. Why haven't I seen him before? Could it be a new debut? "
"Didn't you all pay attention? He said he came from the mainland, and it was his first time playing in Lan Gui Fang! "
"Mainland?" "Damn it."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll take down the score of this song first."
"Good song!"
Although there were a lot of doubts and puzzlement, most people in the [Pop Music] section thought that this "The Love of My Life" was a very outstanding Cantonese work. They expressed shock and surprise that Lu Chen, who sang this song, was from the mainland.
It was common for Hong Kong singers to go to the mainland to sing Mandarin songs, but it was really rare for mainland singers to come to Hong Kong to sing Cantonese songs. There were also a few famous ones, but Lu Chen was definitely not one of them.
In fact, none of these forum veterans who participated in the discussion recognized Lu Chen.
Until an ID called [Three Bowls of Wine] appeared.
"Haha, you don't believe me when I say you're ignorant. Do you know who this is?"
"It's ridiculous to say that Ye Xuan is hyped up. Compared with this guy, Ye Xuan is only good enough to carry shoes!"
"You guys are all frogs at the bottom of a well!"
As soon as [Three Bowls of Wine] read the post, the comment section immediately exploded.
"Old wine, if you have something to say, just say it. What kind of hero are you to hide it!"
"Forgive me for being ignorant."
"Throw your mother away!"
"F * ck your lungs, loser!"
"God of Wine, please explain..."
[Three Bowls of Wine] was famous in the [Pop Music] and [Film and TV Talk] sections of Hong Kong's BBS. He was known for his high professionalism, sharp comments, and poisonous tongue. Fans called him "God of Wine", and haters scolded him as "Broken Bowl". He could be considered a topical figure.
His fighting ability was absolutely superb, and his ability to attract hatred was first-class. With a few words, he provoked a battle in the forum section and dragged a group of people into the water.
As a result, "Who has heard this song?" This post became popular, and it quickly reached the front page of the BBS, and then was seen by the administrator and pinned to the top.
Along with the song "The Love of My Life", more and more netizens in Hong Kong knew.
