Chapter 192 Hot Search
The public opinion was just as Zheng Wei had expected. As soon as the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" ended, several entries related to the program rushed to the top ten of the Weibo hot search list.

The one ranked first is——

[Birds and Fish sang "Wind and Rain" for the first time and ranked second]

Regarding this entry, whether netizens have watched the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" tonight or not, almost all of them clicked on it after seeing this entry.

……

Xiaohua is a PhD student majoring in chemistry. He is also a big fan of Birds and Fishes.

How loyal is he? Xiaohua went to all the concerts of Birds and Fishes this year as long as the schedule did not conflict with his classes.

At 1:30 in the morning, Xiaohua returned from the laboratory and lay down on the bed without saying a word as soon as he arrived at the dormitory.

Scientific research made him tired and left him no time to watch Birds and Fish tonight, or rather, last night’s live broadcast on “The Voice of China 2024”.

After squinting for a while, Xiaohua took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened Weibo.

As a student who has been living between the laboratory, the cafeteria and the dormitory for a long time, Weibo is Xiaohua's main way to learn about current information.

Before opening Weibo, he was already full of expectations.

"The birds and fish must have succeeded in revealing the list tonight, right?"

Xiaohua's tired mind was diluted a lot by this expectation. After opening Weibo, he live-blown the hot search list.

Then I saw Birds and Fish at the top of the trending searches.

"Huh? Didn't they say that Bird and Fish were the singers who unveiled the list? Why are there still rankings?"

Xiao Hua frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"As far as I know, the songs sung by Mars, Vanxia and Shantimo tonight are not considered to be top-notch songs. If Birds and Fishes were included in the ranking, wouldn't "Wind and Rain" be the first for sure?

Could it be that there are other experts out there?
Park Ji-jae?
Is he worthy of a rapper from South Korea?"

Xiaohua muttered to himself as he clicked on the entry.

Then I saw all kinds of arguments among netizens, saying that the program team was shady, had no bottom line in order to promote Phoenix Yufei, and suppressed the birds and fish...

"No way? Could it be that Fenghuang Yufei took first place?"

Xiaohua had an incredible expression on his face, and continued to browse the comments section, and then found the answer.

Fenghuang Yufei actually snatched the first place from Fei Niao Yu Yu with their new song "If the Moon Doesn't Come".

"What's the theme of this new song? Can it beat 'Wind and Rain'?"

Xiaohua pouted unhappily, exited Weibo, opened Xinghuo Music, searched for "If the Moon Didn't Come", and then started listening while looking at the lyrics.

Four minutes later.

After listening to it once, Xiao Hua frowned, sat up from the bed as if sitting on pins and needles, scratched his head in confusion and said:
"This song won over "Wind and Rain" by Birds and Fish? Did the ears of the jury get eaten by dogs? Or are they deaf from the beginning? And what is the Alvin and the Chipmunk with Bai Xingjian's rap? It's still good without this rap, but adding it ruins the song!

I really don't understand, a song like this can actually surpass "Wind and Rain" and take first place, how much benefit did the program team receive?"

Xiao Hua, with an angry tone, opened Weibo directly, went back to the relevant entries and started to denounce the "Singing 2024" program team together with the army of fans of Feiniao and Yu.

He doesn't like rap, nor does he like adding rap to pop music, so he naturally doesn't have a good impression of the song "If the Moon Doesn't Come".

However, how could such a song beat "Wind and Rain" by Birds and Fish?
Xiaohua really didn't know how to swallow this.

……

Some people may not like a song while others may like it.

Xiaoqing is a college student who has just graduated for two years. Born into a small town and full of test-takers, she has always had good grades.

When she was in her senior year, she got a job at a large company in Shanghai through campus recruitment.

When he started working, everything was going in the right direction and Xiaoqing felt that he had a bright future.

But when the novelty wore off, I was left with a salary of 5 yuan, a rent of yuan, and a small apartment of less than square meters...

Every night before going to bed, Xiaoqing felt a deep sense of powerlessness when looking at the ceiling where there was not even enough space for hanging himself.

Why are house prices so expensive here?
Xiaoqing wanted to go home very much, but she couldn't.

Every night, she almost fell asleep with all kinds of thoughts colliding.

That night, Xiaoqing tossed and turned in bed, closing her eyes and opening them again, but she still couldn't fall asleep.

"I don't have work until tomorrow afternoon anyway, so let's have some fun for the night!"

In the darkness, Xiaoqing muttered to himself with sharp eyes, then fumbled to turn on the turned-off mobile phone next to the pillow and sat up.

When the phone is turned on, the brightness will be very bright. Xiaoqing put the phone into the quilt familiarly and counted for nearly 15 seconds before taking it out.

The phone screen is dim and not harmful to the eyes at all.

However, the moment the cellular data was connected, the sound of several message notifications suddenly rang out, which still scared Xiaoqing.

After taking a closer look, I saw that it was a message from the WeChat chat group.

【Work hard just to order eight male models】

"Have you listened to Fenghuang Yufei's "If the Moon Didn't Come"? During the live broadcast, my little pearls were sung directly."

"The little pearl on top or the little pearl on the bottom?"

"...Wu Yuzi, Wenfang, please restrain yourself!"

"I listened to it. Bai Xingjian's rap was like a switch. I cried every time I heard it."

“@庆庆庆, Bai Xingjian’s rap also cued “Rewind”, did Xiaoqing hear it?”

"..."

"Xiao Qing hasn't replied to my message for so long, so he must be working overtime, right?"

"Hahahaha, I'm already imagining Xiaoqing bursting into tears when he hears this song."

The chat record ends here, as if it was deliberately arranged.

Looking at her best friends' speeches, Xiao Qing blinked in confusion, then said "Oh" in sudden enlightenment.

"The Voice of China 2024 was live last night. I thought it was tomorrow, Saturday."

Xiao Qing patted his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I got it mixed up. Anyway, I have to work overtime today and can't watch the live broadcast. At least I didn't make myself feel bad while working overtime."

She became interested in "Singing 2024" after hearing "Rewind" sung by Fenghuang Yufei last week. It was also because of the song "Rewind" that Xiaoqing first learned about Fenghuang Yufei.

"Cue "Rewind"? Make me cry?"

Noticing a few key words in the chat history, Xiao Qing sneered, "I'm a 25-year-old Leo, can I still cry over a song?

It's just the most ridiculous thing in the world."

As he spoke, Xiaoqing fumbled out the headphones from under the pillow, and then sent a message in the chat group.

"I came back too late from overtime yesterday, and my phone was turned off immediately, so I didn't see your message.

"Xiao Lizi, if a song makes you cry, can it make me cry? What a joke!"

After sending the edited message, Xiaoqing slid down the notification bar and clicked on the push message sent to her by Xinghuo Music.

[Phoenix Yufei sings a new song: Moon, moon, you don’t understand, how heavy is six pence]

Xiao Qing was already feeling down before he even started listening to the song.

She naturally understood the meaning of the moon and sixpence, which was about ideal and reality.

“How heavy is it? Hahaha…”

Xiao Qing smiled with a strange look on his face, then became calm: "I'm not sure, it probably takes a lifetime of strength to carry it."

At this moment, the mobile phone screen has come to the playback page of Fenghuang Yufei's "If the Moon Has Not Come Yet". Xiaoqing clicked the play switch and then turned on the barrage display.

Whether she is listening to music or watching videos, she will turn on the barrage.

Only in this way will she feel that she is not alone.

……

The song was finished quickly, but Xiaoqing had already laid back down with his head buried in the pillow.

It was very quiet in the dark room.

But the occasional shaking figure on the bed and the whimpering sound coming from the pillow from time to time all indicate that this place is not as peaceful as it seems.

Sobbing sounds were heard intermittently.

After four or five sounds, it seemed to stop.

But after a while, a real cry sounded loudly.

Xiaoqing curled up and cried uncontrollably.

Almost every word of Bai Xingjian's rap hit her heart hard.

To put it simply, the defense has been broken.

"Ding--"

"Ding--"

"Ding--"

The sound of the mobile phone message notification rang again at this moment, but Xiaoqing was crying so happily that she had no intention of paying attention to it.

It was not until five or six minutes later that Xiaoqing, whose crying had gradually stopped, took out his cell phone from under the quilt and started checking the messages.

"Huh? Xiaoqing, you haven't slept yet so late?"

“Listen to the song! Go listen to “If the Moon Didn’t Come”! Highly recommended! @庆庆庆”

"Why didn't Xiaoqing reply to the message again?"

"She's probably crying so hard that she has no time to pay attention to us."

As he read, Xiao Qing couldn't help laughing again and started typing:
"Xiao Lizi, you win. This song really made me cry, but I can't help it. This song "If the Moon Hasn't Come Yet" seems to be written based on my current life. It's hard not to be moved."

As soon as this message was sent, Xiao Lizi replied:
"Hahaha, I knew it would be like this. There's really nothing I can do about it! This song is so vivid and graphic that I can't even listen to it anymore. As soon as I hear it, my tear glands become uncontrollable and tears just keep flowing out."

In addition to the two of them, someone else sent a message in the chat group.

"Bai Xingjian can actually write a song like this. I really like him more and more!"

"Ahhh! Bai Xingjian simply satisfies all my fantasies about the opposite sex!"

"+1! Bai Xingjian is my prince charming!"

"Then go and save Bai Xingjian! Your Prince Charming is in trouble on Weibo!"

"what?"

……

After returning to the hotel room and washing up, Bai Xingjian lay on the bed, holding his mobile phone to check Weibo to see what netizens and fans think of tonight's "The Voice of China 2024".

Since it was the number one hot search term, he naturally clicked on it to read it.

Then, I was very angry about many of the comments in it.

What's unworthy of Phoenix Yufei, what's rubbish rap, what's not as good as Park Ji-jae...

Bai Xingjian was so angry that he took several breaths before he calmed down.

If he hadn't had a secondary account, he would have definitely switched to another one to fight these trolls.

After exiting the top-ranked hot search terms, Bai Xingjian continued to read on.

[The number of online viewers of "The Voice of China 2024" live broadcast exceeded 2700 million, setting a new record]

This entry is the second most searched.

Bai Xingjian raised his eyebrows in surprise and exclaimed, "Is this the influence of birds and fish? You are worthy of being the Phoenix Legend on Blue Planet."

If he remembered correctly, the last time the number of online viewers of the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" exceeded 2500 million was during Mars Brother's debut and they sang "As Wish" with Phoenix in Flying.

Even with all the extra investments, it was only over 2500 million. But now with the arrival of Birds and Fish, it has exceeded 2700 million.

“No wonder there are so many trolls on Weibo tonight.”

Bai Xingjian stroked his chin, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If this happened on Earth, it would probably be like Phoenix Legend singing "Above the Moon", being suppressed by a newly formed young male and female duo...

If this is true, the production team will probably be destroyed.”

Bai Xingjian laughed and turned around to look.

Indeed, the official Weibo account of "The Voice of China 2024" showed signs of being overwhelmed tonight.

"But this is a bit like innocent people being harmed, and we have suffered an unexpected disaster." Bai Xingjian sighed.

His current idea is very simple, that is, he thinks that among the audience who came to the live broadcast this time, fans of Fenghuang Yufei accounted for a large proportion, and they were relatively pure.

Otherwise, when everyone expected the birds and fish to take first place, it would be impossible for Fenghuang Yufei to get first place.

It’s not because Fenghuang Yufei’s stage performance tonight is not as good as that of Birds and Fish, but because of the feelings brought by the classic songs and classic groups.

However, this feeling was broken by Fenghuang Yufei?
Bai Xingjian was a little suspicious. Was the production team deliberately using Fenghuang Yufei and Feiniao Yuyu for marketing?
"Not really. They probably don't have the guts to do that. After all, so many people are watching this show."

Bai Xingjian smiled and drove the thought out of his mind.

Continuing to look down the trending searches, the third one is——

[Phoenix Flying "If the Moon Has Not Come Yet", good night to every hard-working dreamer]

When Bai Xingjian clicked on this entry, he saw that almost all the comments on the related Weibo were about everyone's experiences.

[Just got off work, worked 16 hours today, so tired, more than a thousand kilometers away from home, lonely, often emo, often confused, want to quit every day, but don’t know what to do after quitting]
[Carrying a mortgage of 135 million, with a monthly payment of nearly 7, busy with a monthly salary of 5500, plus the provident fund, barely enough, I have to go on a business trip in a few days. Today I went to give some wine, milk, and fruit to my girlfriend's parents, but didn't dare to go in, for fear of urging them to get married, and afraid that I can't pay off the mortgage in one go. Now I'm smoking my last cigarette, listening to this song, and I don't know where to go]
[I am really tired. My stomach hurts so much during my period, but I have to take a leave. I was paid over 1 yuan for my internship at a kindergarten, but today I lost my salary. I am so tired. I really don’t like to cry. I am always smiling. Today, I was lying alone in my rental apartment when I heard this song. I was so emotional that tears came out, but I didn’t dare to cry out loud. I could only suffer silently and wipe my tears. I am really tired and confused. It has not been easy along the way. I am really tired]
[......]
Looking at these comments, Bai Xingjian felt a lot of emotions. He pursed his lips and always felt that he should do something.
