Chapter 193 The man behind the scenes
An idea flashed through Bai Xingjian's mind.

He thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and smiled, then continued to look at the Weibo hot search list.

There were several entries in succession that were still related to "The Voice of China 2024". They all looked normal. Bai Xingjian just glanced at them and did not click in to view them in detail.

But soon, his brows furrowed.

The reason is simple: the entry eleventh on the hot search list is causing trouble.

[Bai Xingjian and Park Ji-jae, who’s rapper is better? ]

"..."

Seeing this entry, Bai Xingjian was quite speechless, but he still couldn't hold back his hand and clicked on this entry.

The related Weibo post that appeared was a sliced ​​video of him and Park Ji-jae rapping, and many netizens discussed it in the comment section.

[One sings in Chinese, the other sings in Korean, is there anything to compare?]
[I'm afraid these can't be compared together, right?]
[Why can’t they be compared? The most important thing about rap is the flow. Bai Xingjian’s flow in “If the Moon Doesn’t Come” tonight is obviously not comparable to Park Ji-jae’s “CALL ME”]
[Indeed, Bai Xingjian only had one flow when singing a long string of lyrics. Apart from being steady and writing good lyrics, he did not show much technical ability.]
[Is that true? I thought Bai Xingjian was very strong]
[This guy is really good at writing lyrics, but when it comes to rap…his skills are just average, and you can tell that after spending a little time in the rap circle.]
[Correct! People like Park Ji-jae are the real technical flow! ]
[666! He even said that Bai Xingjian was just average. If someone who didn’t know about it heard it, they would probably think rap is something very advanced!]
[What's wrong? You don't like to hear the truth, right?]
Bai Xingjian browsed through the comment section for a while and found that many of the comments were actually quite correct.

The flow when he raps doesn't really require much technical skill, the main thing is to be steady.

Compared with professional rappers like Park Ji-jae, there is naturally some gap in the technicality of flow.

But this is only on the current stage. If we really have to clash, it is not certain who can remain secure.

But what puzzled Bai Xingjian was who bought this hot search?
Program team?
Or is it Park Ji-jae's team?

After thinking about it, Bai Xingjian still couldn't figure it out.

This kind of hot search could be bought by anyone, but it definitely wasn’t bought by anyone from their side.

After reading this on Weibo, Bai Xingjian felt a little sleepy.

Just as he exited this entry and prepared to take a break, he suddenly saw a hot search related to him.

Then, Bai Xingjian's sleepiness disappeared completely in an instant.

Weibo Hot Search List No. 15——

【White Line Jane Mei Nu】

Just five words, but it made the person involved feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Wang Defa, what are the hot searches about tonight?"

……

Not far from the Mango Radio Building, in a luxurious hotel room prepared by the program team for foreign singers.

Although it was already late at night, Park Ji-jae was still communicating with his accompanying agent.

It's a serious exchange.

"As expected, you've become a trending topic on Weibo."

On the soft big bed, agent Kim Hyun-eun, wearing silk pajamas, leaned against the pillow and spoke with her mobile phone in hand.

Jin Xianen, female, 35 years old.

When he was young, he was also a well-known artist. Later, for some reasons, he moved behind the scenes and became a professional agent.

Park Ji-jae is one of the artists she manages, but they are in a relationship.

Of course, the relationship was a secret and not many people knew about it.

"What hot search?" Park Ji-jae asked curiously.

He is not very familiar with Chinese, so he doesn't read Weibo.

Jin Xianen read the hot search term again, then raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "It should be the hot search bought by the artist team named Bai Xingjian, but it backfired. Almost all netizens here are on our side."

Looking at the comments in the hot search, Kim Hyun-eun's eyes curved with joy and she started reading the comments again.

Park Ji-jae frowned at first, then he also laughed and said, "Bai Xingjian's rap level is actually pretty good, but it does seem a bit average compared to me."

He is 31 years old this year, but he has been exposed to rap since he was 10 years old and has never stopped during his growth. He even studied the rap accent of the locals when he was studying abroad in America. He can be said to be a veteran player in this field.

In Park Ji-jae's eyes, rap is actually a very sacred thing, so when he heard this hot search just now, he was not very happy.

Bai Xingjian is only 22 years old. Can't he just be an idol?

You have to come and touch the rap, touch him.

"Has he made any response to this trending search?" Park Ji-jae turned around and asked.

"How can there be a response to this?"

Jin Xianen patted his shoulder and said, "There will be no response to this kind of question. It's just a way to gain popularity."

"A way to gain popularity?" Park Ji-jae sneered, his face not looking very good.

At this moment, Kim Hyun-eun suddenly said, "This artist who is being marketed with you seems to have run into some minor troubles."

"Oh?" Park Ji-jae asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

So, Jin Xianen read out the term [Bai Xing Jian Mei Nu] again, as well as some related comments.

[Bai Xingjian is really a good guy who only tries to please female listeners. All the rap lyrics of the song "If the Moon Doesn't Come" are written for women]
[That’s right! Don’t boys have too much pressure? Don’t they deserve to be praised?]
[I am so angry! Guys, come with me to attack Bai Xingjian!]
[Weibo is really a men's restroom. Can you guys control your temper?]
[666, the opposite of Tian Gang, right?]
[I just checked the live data of "The Voice of China 2024". Guess what? There were 1001 people listening to the show, and 716 of them were women, accounting for %. Now you should understand, right?]
[I see! No wonder Phoenix Yufei won first place over Birds and Fish this week, it’s because of this!]
[So these women don’t work?]
When Kim Hyun-eun was browsing the comments, many new comments were refreshed, and a large part of them were about topics of conflict between men and women.

She couldn't help but smacked her lips and said with interest, "Bai Xingjian seems to be in quite a bit of trouble. This topic is already quite sensitive, and now more and more people are getting involved."

"Hahaha, is this retribution?"

Park Ji-jae's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then let's add some fuel to the fire. Don't they really like to create hype? Go and make this entry a hot search and help promote it."

"Is it necessary to spend so much money?" Jin Xianen stared at him uncertainly.

Park Ji-jae nodded, "It's quite serious."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Kim Hyun-eun said this with a smile, and then began to spend money to increase the popularity of the related Weibo posts.

It is not only Kim Hyun-eun who has heated up this entry, but also the director of "Songgu", Xu Jun.

Not long after the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" ended, he asked someone to contact Zheng Wei and ask whether Fenghuang Yufei could participate in the recording of "Song Gu" next week.

The answer they got was no.

The reason given was very simple, that is, Bai Xingjian's creative ability was exhausted and he did not have enough inspiration to continue writing two songs in a week, so he had to end the recording of "Song Gu".

After listening to the reasons relayed by his subordinates, Xu Jun immediately expressed his understanding.

But after a while, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

Both are programs for singing new songs, so why did you turn down "Song Gu" and not promote "The Voice of China 2024"?

Do you think their "Song Gu" is not as good as "The Voice 2024"?
Xu Jun, who was not firmly chosen, was a little angry. When he was browsing Weibo, he also saw Bai Xingjian's five-word hot search.

Clicking into the comment area, Xu Jun felt a little happier when he saw many netizens condemning Bai Xingjian. In order to make himself happier, he directly spent money to boost the popularity of the relevant Weibo.

As more and more people flocked to the comment section, a satisfied smile appeared on Xu Jun's face.

"I asked you to sing on The Voice 2024, but now you have failed."

……

With the help of Xu Jun and Jin Xianen, and the spontaneous debate among many netizens, the five-word hot search about Bai Xingjian soon rushed into the top ten of the hot search list, and is still continuing to move forward.

A luxurious villa in Linjiang City.

Li Xiao, the chief director of "The Voice of China 2024", sat in front of the computer screen, looking at the entry that had made it to the top ten of the hot search list with great surprise.

"Whose masterpiece is this?"

Li Xiao had an expression that said "Could there be another expert out there?"

He only promoted the two trending searches [Birds and Fish sang "Wind and Rain" for the first time, ranking second] and [Bai Xingjian and Park Ji-jae, who's rap is better? ]

Because these two hot searches can generate enough popularity, there is no need to waste money.

But he never expected that [Bai Xing Jian Mei Nu] would appear in the top ten of the hot search list.

And in the blink of an eye, this entry has already reached the seventh position.

At this rate, it has the potential to be in the top three of the trending search list.

“Who created this trending search? Is it a spontaneous debate among netizens? Or is it the team behind Birds and Fish?”

Li Xiao pretended to think, then laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha, this comment section is like all the rhythm masters gathered together, saying all kinds of things. It's just a song, right? Is it necessary to be so harsh?"

……

Bai Xingjian's thoughts at this time were different from Li Xiao's.

Isn't it just a song?
Isn’t this trending search and these comments too exaggerated?
Bai Xingjian was a little confused. These people were really awesome to be able to find such a unique topic about "seductive woman" from the song "If the Moon Didn't Come".

Although this topic was very popular, Bai Xingjian was not at all panicked. After reading some ridiculous comments, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.

Because this topic is completely untenable and only touches on some content with a lot of traffic.

There is no need for him to explain anything.

There are great scholars who will debate this topic for him.

……

Linjiang Normal University, a girls’ dormitory.

Although it was already two o'clock in the morning, the four "small tents" in the dormitory were still brightly lit.

suddenly,

A sneer came from the upper bunk, followed by Wang Pei Ni's voice: "Sisters, I am dying of laughter. Bai Xingjian has been labeled a 'seductive woman' because of the song "If the Moon Didn't Come". Now it is ranked third on Weibo's hot search list!"

"Huh? Penny, what did you say? Can you say it again?"

Lai Jie poked her head out from the mosquito net and said with messy hair.

Wang Penny pulled open the curtains and repeated the story in a rather indignant tone.

During this process, Liu Yue and Luo Xi also poked their heads out from the mosquito net.

"No, are these people sick? How can a song with such a good idea be labeled with such a derogatory label?"

After listening carefully to what Wang Pei Ni said, Lai Jie tidied her hair angrily, a little furious.

When she listened to the song "If the Moon Didn't Come" during the live broadcast, she didn't have any special feelings. Even when the host He Ling announced the rankings, she was a little surprised that Fenghuang Yufei got the first place tonight.

But after the live broadcast ended, Lai Jie listened to "If the Moon Didn't Come" several times again.

Finally, during one of her performances, she felt the emotions in the song, understood the connotation of the song, and also understood why Fenghuang Yufei won first place.

But such a song that can comfort people's soul is actually labeled as "female-sucking"?

She, Lai Jie, was the first one to disagree!

"I can only say that these people have nothing to do after eating, so they talk about these topics every day." Liu Yue yawned and shrank back into the mosquito net to prepare for sleep.

“These comments are really infuriating!”

Next door, Rossi was looking at Weibo on his phone, his teeth clacking as he said, "No! I can't bear it anymore! I'm going to fight these crickets!

Really, it makes it seem like no one knows how to spit shit! "

Hearing this, Lai Jie's mouth twitched.

However, after seeing many people scolding Bai Xingjian in the comment section, she couldn't help herself and said:
"Penny, do you still have the 'laning tips' you collected online? Can you please send them to our group? I really can't wait to get going!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It must be here!"

Wang Penny said fiercely, "Wait a moment, we'll go online together after you send it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a voice with a strong hint of yawning sounded from Liu Yue's bed:
"Wait for me, I'll come too..."

……

On the other side, Suning, who was still awake in the middle of the night, was also checking Weibo.

It's not because of my biological clock, but because I have some insomnia.

He was quite upset that he didn't get the first place as soon as he appeared on "The Voice of China 2024".

Especially when Suning thought that it was Fenghuang Yufei who snatched the first place from them, they became even more annoyed.

So much so that whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of the image of the Phoenix flying and surpassing the birds and fish to become the new "national group".

"Li Xiao, Li Xiao, what are you doing?"

Withdrew from the second hot search of Birds and Fish, Suning said gritting his teeth.

I glanced at the time in the center of the phone bar and it was already 2:55 in the morning.

Su Ning sighed and murmured, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. It's useless to read on."

Although there were many words of comfort from fans in the comment section for him and Qiao Xi, this could not change the fact that they were robbed of the first place by Fenghuang Yufei.

Just when Suning was about to go to sleep, he seemed to have caught sight of something that interested him very much.

"This is the third on the hot search list..."

Suning took a closer look and clicked on it without saying anything.

It wasn't long before he felt like he could get a good night's sleep tonight.
