Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

Chapter 93: A great Confucian scholar will explain the classics to me!

"Look at the state of public opinion now! He's finished, absolutely. We can't let him go down with him!"

"Even if he wasn't the 'Douyin Prince,' and even if he really did sleep with the leader, we can't risk our lives to play along with him!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Tang Yi immediately rebuked him.

The other party was her business partner, and the two had been friends for many years.

Although the other party had expressed interest in taking things further, she was not interested.

"I don't think he said anything wrong. Take Douyin for example, the current environment is completely different from when it first started."

"What he said reflects our personal experiences. Some people are just taking things out of context to gain clicks, and this trend won't last."

"But you can't just barge in now! Everyone else is trying to avoid you!"

"Okay, I'll talk to the organizers, and you can each do your own live streams this afternoon."

……

While Tang Yi was arguing with her partner, in another room...

Huang Yun, puffing out her cheeks, took her anger out on a pillow.

"Damn internet trolls! These guys just know how to profit from other people's misfortunes, they're despicable!"

Li Xiaoxiao, her colleague and best friend, was used to it. She touched up her makeup at the dressing table and occasionally swiped her phone.

Her defining characteristic is her lack of focus.

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes widening sharply.

"Jiaojiao, you're hot!"

"Jiaojiao, you're famous now!"

"What? Leave me alone, I'm angry!"

"No, you're really famous." Li Xiaoxiao didn't even bother with makeup, grabbed her phone and jumped onto the bed.

"It's gone viral? Could it be that the video of me scolding those trolls went viral?" Huang Yunjiao finally realized.

I took the phone, and a familiar screen appeared.

"Hello everyone, I'm at Tarim Lake..."

"Towards the clouds..."

"In the sea..."

"Isn't this the video I used to promote 'Towards the Clouds'?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.

"Look who posted this!"

Huang Yunjiao was stunned. Wasn't this her own video?

He took the phone, looked at it carefully, and his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

Xinjiang Culture and Tourism!

"Wow!"

She remembered.

Not long ago, a fan messaged her privately, asking if she could use her videos.

She agreed without even thinking about it.

New Year's Day is approaching, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner.

Due to the pandemic, China's tourism market has been extremely bleak this year.

Although there was a surge during the eight-day National Day holiday, it couldn't fully meet the industry's needs.

Cultural and tourism sectors across the country are gearing up for another surge in tourism during the Spring Festival.

Xinjiang Prefecture Culture and Tourism Office.

"Aygul, the videos you released before didn't get many views. You need to think of something else."

"Director, there's nothing we can do! We don't have the funds, we can't schedule it!"

"Never mind that, you figure something out."

Aygul was completely numb.

Everyone says working within the system is good, but is it better to be in this freezing cold, or to create something out of nothing?

She was scrolling through videos unconsciously, and she was looking at videos that she had liked.

Soon, a video of the little chubby girl exercising near Tarim Lake appeared.

Her eyes lit up.

"This song is quite popular lately, let's try contacting Rou Rou."

And so, the following scene unfolded.

Without any prior explanation, I directly copied and pasted from the main account.

Beautiful melodies, clear lake water, azure sky, and stunning scenery—welcome to the magnificent Xinjiang region!

And with Xinjiang Prefecture's cultural tourism sector taking the first step.

Other provinces, cities, counties, and districts followed suit in their cultural and tourism initiatives.

Isn't it just "Towards the Clouds" with its own scenery added?

It's like everyone has green hills and clear waters.

Sichuan: Learn about Jiuzhaigou, the paradise on earth; the hometown of pandas; Lugu Lake; and Wuhou Temple...

Qiongzhou: Water is all you need? Others sing about the sea, but have you heard of Qiongzhou's sea? Sunshine, beaches, I can practically close my eyes...

Qianzhou: We also have the sea, and not only the sea, but also mountains. We have everything here, both in the sea and on the other side of the mountains. We also have delicious houttuynia cordata and spicy mangoes...

Jizhou: So close, so beautiful! Come to Hebei for the weekend! It has mountains and rivers, and hospitable friends...

Luzhou: A blatant plagiarism. Luzhou is just across the mountains and the sea. The scenery is so beautiful, and the culture is unparalleled. How can you not come to Luzhou for the Spring Festival...

Yunnan: Beyond the clouds, beyond the mountains, and into the sea, lies Yunnan, a land of colorful clouds, where spring reigns all year round. How can you miss visiting during the Spring Festival...?

……

It's as if each province, city, and district/county had planned it all out; one act ends and another begins.

Instantly, Douyin was filled with the catchy, addictive sound of "Xiang Yunduan".

Tourism is usually a family or individual matter, but in special years like these, it becomes a national affair.

Having just experienced the pandemic, cultural and tourism sectors across the country are extremely poor. Without funding, this catchy, simple video format instantly became a trending topic and topped the Douyin (TikTok) hot search list.

While netizens are annoyed by the "cloudification" trend, they are also enjoying the drama of the "battle for top billing" between cultural and tourism accounts from various regions.

In an instant, the popularity of the song "Towards the Clouds" which had just faded away was swept up to the sky.

The head of Hongyun Music's operations department was dumbfounded.

In this episode of "Hurricane Project," "Towards the Clouds" emerged victorious with the top score.

The promotion was originally scheduled for New Year's Day, but this sudden event completely threw him off balance.

"Hurry up, get all resources online ahead of schedule."

"If there are resources ahead, remove them first. Prioritize the resources for 'Towards the Clouds'."

Those who do not accept what Heaven has given them will surely suffer the consequences.

If he ignores such a huge pie falling from the sky, he'll be kicked out tomorrow.

However, with the unexpected popularity of "Towards the Clouds".

That's right, it's become incredibly popular!

Fans of the original "Rakshasa Mirage" flocked to Hongyun Music and began to analyze the song in depth.

"It can be seen that when Shen Mo created this song, his thinking about social phenomena was not that profound."

"This song only touches on issues such as appearance anxiety and life stress, and he also kindly offers us some practical ways to alleviate these problems, such as 'tidying up the room' and 'getting a cat'."

"Exploring self-identity and life choices through imagery such as clouds, mountains, and seas. Conveying the power of healing and transformation."

"At this time, Shenmo was still in the early stages of thinking about society, and his attitude was positive and optimistic. Therefore, the overall style of this song is mainly beautiful and healing."

"When he saw the ugliness on the Internet, especially when he himself was deeply involved in it, his thinking began to change, and a deep sense of powerlessness began to arise in his heart. Thus, the images of 'Mahu' and 'You Niao' came into being."

"In just two songs, I saw a boy who had just graduated from school gradually transform into a warrior wielding a sharp blade, wanting to slay the evil dragon."

41 likes, 48 shares, 19 comments...

More and more bloggers, seeing the explosive popularity of analysis videos, instantly joined the ranks.

Thus, Shen Mo was inexplicably elevated from an ordinary streamer to a legendary figure, becoming a musician with profound thoughts and independent thinking.

A thought leader who expresses his philosophical thoughts through songs.

"Xiao Mo, you must have been in a lot of pain when you wrote this song!"

Shen Mo looked at the message sent by Huang Qishan and felt both amused and exasperated.

Sure enough, once you enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will be there to debate the classics for you!

Netizens were right!
