Perfect Superstar

Chapter 113



Chapter 113 - Point of Explosion

Inspur blogis the largest blog website in China and can be considered as one of the mostimportant fronts of new media.

Any slightestsign of trouble here could be artificially amplified and spread like wildfire.

In Inspur blog,there are also a large number of marketing account and online speculators. Oncea hot event is triggered, whether it involves their own interests or not, theywill often intervene in it to promote the flames or fish in troubled waters.(TN: marketing account refers to an unscrupulous self-reported account thatrelies on traffic to make money.)

Lu Chengetting eliminated on "Super Singer". The initial trigger wasundoubtedly Stray Cat's blog, but what really ignited it was the threestatements made by the program officer V of Xiangnan Satellite TV's "SuperSinger".

The firststatement was issued at 11:02 on the evening of July 27. The content was verysimple. It was a public statement on Stray Cat's blog, saying that theso-called inside story disclosed by the other party was pure nonsense and wasnot worth refuting. It also warns some people against malicious speculation.

Just 20minutes later, at 11:22, Officer V of "Super Singer" released a new blog post, whichwas also a detailed criticism of Stray Cat's blog post.

It's kind oflike hitting their own face.

In thesecond blog post, the program team pointed out that the audition process of"Super Singer" is open and fair, and there is no possibility of behind-the-scenedealings, let alone malicious suppression of newcomers.

In fact, itis precisely the emergence of this reality show that has made an indeliblecontribution of original works on domestic pop music. It has made more and moreoutstanding creative talent to stand out!

As for LuChen, who had participated in the audition of "Super Singer," theprogram team said they regretted that they had missed the rather excellent creator."In Spring" is an excellent original work.

But Lu Chendid not sing the song at the audition of "Super Singer," but choseanother one. His performance at that time was not recognized by the judges, sohe was eliminated.

And thisjust reflects the fairness and preciseness of "Super Singer". This isthe reason why the ratings of this program have been rising steadily. Theprogram team's reputation cannot be discredited and smeared.

The truth isthat simple.

"SuperSinger" program team issued a stern warning to the Small V Stray Cat ofInspur Blog, demanding the latter to eliminate the bad influence in the blog,apologize to them, and reserve the right of legal accountability!

XiangnanSatellite TV is a well-deserved leader in domestic local satellite TV stations.It has a very strong public relations and marketing team, and it responds veryquickly to adverse events. The slightest sight of symptom will be smothered inthe bud.

On the otherhand, Xiangnan Satellite TV is an official Big V in Inspur Blog with more than10 million fans. Once the two posts of "Super Singer" official V werepublished, they received a lot of likes, comments and reposts.

Includingmany of the stars in the circle, industry celebrities and Big V bloggers!

The mediainfluence of Xiangnan Satellite TV is not something that a Small V such asstray cat can compete with at all. The two blog posts were crushed directly.The latter's blog was instantly blown up into a mess, with all kinds of cynicismin the comment area, along with Lu Chen and Beijing Satellite TV.

At 11:55, "SuperSinger" program team issued their third blog post.

This post stronglypraises Ling Xiaoxiao, believing that he is the leading figure in the newgeneration of singers, both in talent and character, and that his originalworks are very much in line with his age temperament, and will therefore havestrong popularity and loyal fans. They wished him great success in the upcomingNational Final.

This meaningful blog also @Ling Xiaoxiao himself andXiaoxiao's support group!

Xiaoxiao'ssupport group is Ling Xiaoxiao's fan group. Now, it has more than 100,000members and is very active on the blog.

LingXiaoxiao himself responded with a smiling face and the word "Thankyou" two minutes later.

But his fanswere less understated. Under the group's top management organization, they flockedto fight at Stray Cat and Lu Chen's blogs, fighting from the early morninguntil the next morning.

Theydirectly spurted a stream of abuse on Lu Chen!

Since thethree posts of Xiangnan Satellite TV was release after Lu Chen's livebroadcast, he did not know this matter that happened in the blog, and he stillrelied on Li Feiyu to remind him about it after he had come back from his earlyexercise. Only then did he know he was attack.

Li Feiyu wassimply filled with indignation that he pounded the table and said, "Thesebrain-dead fans are really ridiculous. Stray cat is right, in terms of talent,strength and appearance, you can completely throw this Ling Xiaoxiao by threeblocks!"

Lu Chen can'thelp laughing.

LingXiaoxiao is a of Shanghai native. He graduated from the Music Department ofShanghai Media University at the age of 21. He is handsome, fair-skinned andstylish. He is the most popular type of fresh meat in the entertainmentindustry. He is very capable of attracting fans.

So, inappearance, he and Lu Chen are different. Lu Chen is tall, handsome, healthy,and sunny type.

It isdifficult to compare the two directly. After all, there are many differences inthe public's aesthetic taste.

In terms ofheight alone, Lu Chen actually have no problem throwing Ling Xiaoxiao by ablock. According to the internet, the latter only has a height of 1.67 meters,adding the high shoes he's wearing, it reaches to 1.72 meters, but Lu Chen,even if he took off his shoes, his height is 1.82 meters.

As forcreative talent, Li Feiyu has even more to say: "Take a look at this post,it says that Ling Xiaoxiao's three songs are copied from two albums released byformer South Korean male group KDK on 2003 and 2005. Many passages obviouslyimitate KDK's songs. How dare he say that he is the leading figure in the newgeneration?"

The GreaterChina Music Library is mainly aimed at domestic original music works, butforeign works can also be registered through agents, and copyright is alsoprotected.

However, dueto the current weak crackdown on music piracy in China, not many people inEurope, America, Japan, and South Korea are willing to put their works in the"Greater China Music Library" for copyright registration, because theinterests involved are very limited. Moreover, the cost of copyrightregistration and subsist is also high, which makes the relevant parties lackthe motivation to safeguard their rights. (TN: Subsist = how long the copyrightis in effect)

Therefore,this has formed a loophole, resulting in many people in the domestic industryto follow with the foreign trend. People who are concern about face will buythe copyrights, while those who aren't concern about face will directly plagiarize,make some superficial changes, then ostentatiously promote it as their ownwork, and formed a streamline packaging marketing model.

This modelis short-lived and fast, with low cost and quick results, and is regarded asthe winning magic weapon by many entertainmentmedia companies.

Fast-rhythmsongs, divine tune, catchy songs, rap… What is popular abroad, the trendfirst affects the country.

The resultof the spread of the same magic weapon is that it has severely damaged theoriginal works of the country. Except for a few top creators, most of the lowerand middle-level songwriters find it difficult to get enough food and clothing.As a result, they have changed careers one after another.

Regardingthis phenomenon, there are also many insightful people in China who stronglyappeal for the revitalization of original works. Some even say that thelaissez-faire of copyright in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea is adeliberate act, which stifle local originality!

This statementmay have the smell of conspiracy theory, but it is an indisputable fact thatplagiarism and imitating the ethos of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea ispervasive. However, not many fans of idols care about this. The focus of theirpursuit is on the star's appearance, scandal and gossip. Having the talent andskill to sing and dance is enough!

Of course,many media and musicians are resisting this phenomenon, and those who haveexperienced the endless emergence of popular classics in the 1980s and 1990s, afterthe initial sense of novelty, are disgusted by the foreign trend of theentertainment industry.

The factthat "In Spring" is at the top of the original list is enough to tell thestory.

This is theera of change, the worst era of pop music, but also the best era!

And Lu Chenis precisely in this era!

Li Feiyusaid, "Many of Ling Xiaoxiao plagiarism posts and blog posts have beendeleted. The strength of Xiangnan Satellite TV is great. Big Chen, are we goingto send a blog post to fight back?"

He goes tothe studio very early in the morning. So, when he turned on his computer andsaw the news in the QQ Group, only then did he know that Lu Chen's blog hadbeen attacked. It was not easy to figure out the origin and development of thematter. He was also very annoyed in his heart.

"SuperSinger" eliminated Lu Chen in the audition, and even made false accusation.The meaning in the third blog post, as long as it can be seen by anyone with discerningeyes, is simply unbearable!

Li Feiyu hasblocked and reported a lot of IDs in the comments section, but he can't standup to the other party's offensive at all.

His heartwas completely full of fire.

Counter-attack?

Lu Chenthought about it and calmly said, "Don't worry, wait until I figure thingsout."

Li Feiyu wasannoyed, and now he was even more annoyed!

Others areknocking at your door to slap your face. If you didn't have a temper, would youstill be a man?

Lu Chen maynot have practice any superb skill on enduring things. (TN: Like those incultivation novels)

But sincestepping into this circle, he is bound to face the ups and downs in the circle.Not only it is useless to lose one's temper alone, but one can also easily fallinto the trap of other people and plunge oneself into a more disadvantageoussituation.

Therefore, acounter-attack is definitely a must. The key is how to make a good counter-attack.

But one mustknow that what he is facing is Xiangnan Satellite TV, this colossus. So, withouthard material to depend on and just relying solely on empty words, it will beimpossible for him to gain the upper hand in this battle of public opinion.

And theattitude of Beijing Satellite TV is also very important. Since BeijingSatellite TV has not responded, will he not become a target of attractingfirepower by rushing ahead?

Li Feiyuhesitated for a moment and asked, "Would you like to close the commentssection first?"

Closing thecomments section means that even if people wanted to scold, they won't be ableto, and is also a way to calm down. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Noneed!"

Lu Chenflatly vetoed: "Let them scold, the fiercer they curse now, the moresatisfying it is to slap their face in the future!"

He took outhis cell phone and dialed a familiar number.

Lu Chenspeculated that 90% of this might have been done by this man. He has this hunchearly on.

Now is thetime for an explanation.

"Ithought you were going to call me last night…"

On the otherside of the phone came Chen Jianhao's voice. He laughed and said, "Ididn't expect you to be so late. This made me a little disappointed!"
