Back at home in Repulse Bay, Lu Chen had just taken a shower when he received a call from his assistant, Li Zhen.
Only then did he know that he had become the focus of the controversy in Hong Kong's blog. In just a few hours, the number of his Hong Kong blog followers had skyrocketed from dozens to more than 100,000!
Lu Chen had more than 20 million followers in the domestic Waves blog, but he was not famous in Hong Kong. In addition, he had no foundation in Hong Kong and was still trying to adapt to the environment here, so he had no intention of creating hype for the time being.
As Lu Chen's assistant, Li Zhen had already applied for a real-name verification for his Hong Kong blog. His identity was that of a famous mainland singer and actor, and he had already been verified.
However, as of yesterday, Lu Chen only had 57 followers in Hong Kong, and there was only one blog post published by his studio. The number of clicks and comments were pitifully low.
The content of the blog post was nothing more than "I have just registered as a Hong Kong blog member, please advise me."
Because Lu Chen had been very low-key when he went to Hong Kong, the domestic media and fans did not know his whereabouts. It was normal for such a situation to occur. Otherwise, his fan support group could easily help him increase the number of Hong Kong blog followers by tens or even millions.
In the end, it was all because of a blog post by a well-known Hong Kong blogger and music critic, Nan Hai Kuangren, that he was instantly pushed to the forefront of the discussion. The number of comments on that official blog post had reached tens of thousands, and it had also been forwarded a lot.
When Lu Chen turned on the computer and logged into his Hong Kong blog account, he was shocked by thousands of system messages and blog private message prompts.
It took a lot of effort for Lu Chen to completely figure out the ins and outs of this matter.
Last night, his performance of "The Love of My Life" at La Dolce Vita 97 was taken by a customer and posted on the forum. Then, it was used by the Nanhai Madman as a weapon to attack the pop music industry and composers in Hong Kong. As a result, it caused a blog war.
And as a key figure, he was quickly found by the Xiangjiang online blog name. Because of this, he actually made it to the hot search list, causing the number of followers to increase sharply.
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his innocent accusation.
These surging fans were not just regular fans. Most of them were passersby who came to watch the show. There were also some anti-fans who scolded and ridiculed him in various comments and private messages.
"Go back to the mainland, Xiangjiang does not welcome you!"
"Isn't it just a song? What was so great about it? You really know how to create hype! "
"Tell me the truth. How much did you pay Madman Nanhai for him to boast about you like this?"
"Where did you copy this song from?"
"You look down on our Hong Kong music creators. Do you think you're very powerful?"
"Eat shit …"
There were even more unpleasant obscenities, which were directly blocked by the smart identification system of the blog, but it was enough for Lu Chen to see the other side of some Xiangjiang people on the Internet.
However, there were also many people who liked "The Love of My Life". They expressed their support for Lu Chen. They felt that this song was just as Nanhai Madman had said, it was one of the best Cantonese pop songs in the past decade.
These newly increased fans were eager for Lu Chen to release a single and create more and better works.
"Welcome to Xiangjiang!"
"Mr. Lu Chen, although I didn't know you before today, I'm already a fan of yours!"
"'The Love of My Life' is so good. You sang it so well. I watched that video ten times on loop!"
"Is this song written for your girlfriend?"
"Thank you for letting me hear a good song …"
After spending more than half an hour, Lu Chen finally browsed through some of the comments and messages. He ignored the cursing and ridiculing anti-fans and felt that he needed to say something.
After serious consideration, Lu Chen posted a new blog post on Hong Kong's blog for the first time.
The title of the blog post was "Thank You, Friends of Xiangjiang."
In this blog post, Lu Chen expressed his gratitude to the Xiangjiang fans who supported him and liked his works. He specifically explained that he had come to Xiangjiang to set up a film studio and was preparing to shoot a movie. Therefore, he had no intention of releasing a single or album for the time being.
This song, "The Love of a Lifetime", was LuChen's first Cantonese work. He sang it impromptu with his friends at La DolceVita97 in Lan Kwai Fong last night, so it wasn't a deliberate hype. He didn't even know the madman from Nanhai.
In the end, Lu Chen expressed in the blog post that he liked the prosperity and beauty of Xiangjiang very much. However, he was very disgusted with the comments and attacks of some people on the blog. It was contrary to the open and tolerant image of Xiangjiang!
Lu Chen's blog post could be said to be polite and restrained. His words were gentle but firm. He was neither aggressive nor timid. What he wrote was extraordinary writing skills.
After the blog post was posted, it quickly received a large number of reposts and comments. The most obvious change was that the number of people who maliciously attacked and insulted him had decreased a lot.
To Lu Chen's surprise, half an hour after the blog post was published, Liu Gangsheng, the most popular blogger in Hong Kong and a big shot in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, actually liked the new blog post, commented on it and reposted it.
Liu Tianwang first welcomed Lu Chen to come to Xiangjiang to develop. He had just finished watching the bar video of "The Love of My Life" and expressed that he also liked the song very much. He hoped that he could have the opportunity to cooperate with Lu Chen.
In addition, he asked Lu Chen not to care about those malicious comments, because those people could not represent the people of Xiangjiang.
Liu Gangsheng's blog post immediately suppressed the audience.
This Xiangjiang superstar who was born in the seventies was also a household name in the mainland. He was born in poverty but was extremely hardworking. His personal achievements were inseparable from the Xiangjiang entertainment industry in the eighties and nineties. He was one of the symbols of the latter's prosperity. He was a real big shot in film, television, and music!
Although Liu Gangsheng, who was in his forties, had passed his peak, his position in the hearts of the people of Xiangjiang was unique. He also had a great influence in Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
This Liu Tianwang's Hong Kong blog had more than 17 million fans. Big enough to surpass the population of Xiangjiang. However, this was not because of his fame, but because the registered members of the Hong Kong blog included Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao, as well as the Chinese circles in some Southeast Asian countries.
Liu Gangsheng's support for Lu Chen was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face to those anti-fans. It was undoubtedly a great help to Lu Chen's foothold in Xiangjiang. Moreover, his hope to cooperate with Lu Chen was enough to let people's imagination run wild.
After all these twists and turns, Lu Chen could be considered to be really famous in Xiangjiang.
The number of people who knew him suddenly increased by tens of thousands!
