Chapter 218 It's our turn to perform
"What kind of ridiculous Weibo post did this person make?"

Bai Xingjian, who was lying on the bed in the hotel and preparing to rest, also showed an expression of "old man's cell phone in the subway" after seeing the Weibo post posted by Tian Yu.

After clicking into the comment section, Bai Xingjian smiled in surprise.

Because many netizens agree with Tian Yu's statement, saying things like "Bai Xingjian does not respect the original work", "It's a rubbish adaptation", "If these idols mess around, the Chinese music scene will be finished sooner or later", etc.

"No, don't these people know that I am the original author of "A Laugh in the Sea"?"

Bai Xingjian looked very strange, "Could it be that someone is messing with me on Weibo again? But this method... is really a bit funny."

Now this Weibo post has ranked third on Weibo's hot search list, and its popularity is extremely high.

Bai Xingjian clicked on Tian Yu's Weibo homepage and took a look. He didn't find anything strange, and this Weibo post seemed like something that a musician named Tian Yu could post.

"It's not like he's deliberately messing with me. I guess he really doesn't know that I'm the original author of 'A Laugh in the Sea'."

Bai Xingjian curled his lips slightly and did not respond to this Weibo post. Instead, he reposted a Weibo post with an expression of "helpless".

The entire Weibo post only contained this expression, and as soon as it was posted, many fans appeared in the comment section.

The time now is around 1: in the morning.

[Catch alive! Catch a wild Xing Jian online!]
[Fuck! You guys don’t sleep, do you? I just clicked in and there are already hundreds of comments!]
[Hahaha, was Xing Jian also speechless by the Weibo post that ranked third on the trending search list? That Weibo post is simply ridiculous!]
[Thinking about the Weibo post that person sent, Xing Jian couldn’t sleep in bed in the middle of the night, so he stood up and shouted: No, that person is sick, right? ]
[I can only say that the musician really did a great job!]
Bai Xingjian looked at the fans' comments without making any reply. He turned around and looked at the trending search list again. Seeing that the entry [Phoenix Yufei's new interpretation of "A Laugh in the Sea"] was still at the top of the list, he turned off his phone with satisfaction and went to sleep.

……

The next morning.

Su Caitao, who felt a little sore, just opened her eyes and picked up her phone to check Weibo.

Because of some things last night, she did not pay attention to the related hot searches on Weibo in time after the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" ended.

As a result, when she saw the Weibo hot search list this morning, she was a little surprised.

"Tian Yu? What did he comment on? It actually ranked second on the trending search list?"

Su Caitao clicked on the entry, and then an extremely shocked expression appeared on her face.

"No, Tian Yu, what's wrong with you?"

After saying this in surprise, Su Caitao directly opened her address book and called Tian Yu.

She and Tian Yu are good friends and they got together some time ago.

Now, seeing her old friend talking nonsense on Weibo, and it directly rushed to the second place on Weibo's hot search list, Su Caitao naturally wanted to ask him what he thought.

"Why don't you answer the phone? Are you still sleeping?"

The phone calls were automatically hung up, but Tian Yu still didn't answer.

Su Caitao looked at the time, 8:35.

The time was neither too early nor too late. Su Caitao pondered for a moment and called again.

This time, the ringing tone was connected after more than ten seconds, and a confused voice came:

"Hello?"

Hearing this voice that was still in her dream, Su Caitao rolled her eyes and then said loudly:

"I'm fine, but you're probably going to be ill soon. What the hell was that Weibo post you posted? Didn't you know that the original author of "A Laugh in the Sea" was Bai Xingjian?
Wake up quickly and post a Weibo to explain yourself! "

Hearing this familiar voice, Tian Yu was quite puzzled.

What's going on? Why did Su Caitao call him so early in the morning?

But after hearing what Su Caitao said next, Tian Yu suddenly became alert, sat up with a start, and said to the other end of the phone in surprise:
"What? Bai Xingjian is the original author of "A Laugh in the Ocean"?!"

"if not?"

Su Caitao said unhappily, "Hurry up and check Weibo. I just checked and the trending searches related to you have been on the Weibo rankings for most of the night. You are now famous again."

There was silence for a few seconds before a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up first. Hey, wait a moment."

Tian Yu's tone had become flustered, but his mind was still relatively quick, and he asked Su Caitao for help:
"How should I respond to this?"

Su Caitao couldn't help laughing: "How can I respond to this? Just tell the truth. Anyway, this can only be called a misunderstanding. I didn't expect it to be so popular."

"I don't know either. Ah~it turns out that drinking is the cause of the trouble."

Tian Yu sighed, "Cai Tao, I remember that you and Bai Xingjian should have a pretty good relationship, can you find a chance to explain this to me? I really didn't expect that Bai Xingjian was the original author of "A Laugh in the Sea"!"

The topic has even reached the second place on the hot search list. Tian Yu is really afraid of being cyberbullied.

"no problem."

Su Caitao agreed and comforted him, "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it. It should be fine once you explain it clearly."

Tian Yu nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Cai Tao."

After chatting for a few more sentences, the two hung up the phone.

Tian Yu exhaled a few times, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Bai Xingjian? The original author of "A Laugh in the Ocean"?

How could my mind be so fuzzy last night?
It turns out that drinking caused all the trouble!

During the call, Tian Yu thought of many things.

Looking at his phone, before he had time to open Weibo, he was attracted by the red 99+ on the [Phone] [Text Message].

When he opened it, he found that almost all of them were calls and text messages from relatives and friends. The content of the text messages was also related to the Weibo post he posted, and there were even a few messages praising him for being awesome.

Tian Yu himself was a little overwhelmed.

"What is all this?!"

……

Linjiang City.

A hotel room.

"Sister Xin, have you read today's Weibo?" Ding Xin's assistant Zhang Kui asked her.

"Not yet? What's wrong? Is it possible that the song "Mo" I sang has started to receive bad reviews?" Ding Xin raised her eyebrows, a look of worry emerging on her face.

After the recording ended last night, she couldn't wait to open Weibo to see the public's response to her stage performance.

The response on Weibo was very positive, with all the comments praising it.

She hadn't felt this way in a long time.

But can’t such good reviews last even for one night?
Although Ding Xin didn't take these things seriously, she was singing Bai Xingjian's song after all, so she couldn't help but care about it.

"No, no, everyone really liked your singing of Silence."

Zhang Kui smiled and said, "It's related to Bai Xingjian. A semi-retired musician posted a Weibo post reviewing Bai Xingjian's song "A Laugh in the Sea". It's hilarious. Sister Xin, you can check out Weibo. That Weibo post is still on the trending search list."

"is it?"

Ding Xin showed an interested expression, immediately put down the spoon in her hand that was about to drink the porridge, picked up her mobile phone, opened Weibo and started reading.

Then, several laughs came out of her mouth.

"Hahahaha, this musician has a bit of a comedic nature. He can even make such a mistake."

Perhaps it hit Ding Xin's funny spot, so much so that she laughed so hard at the dinner table.

This situation continued for quite a while before it stopped.

This style of painting is not only seen in Ding Xin. Singers who are more familiar with Bai Xingjian couldn't stop laughing more or less after seeing the Weibo post posted by Tian Yu.

For example, Gu Zetao, Liao Bei, Fan Xiaya, and even Qiao Xi and Su Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing Tian Yu's Weibo post.

When someone laughs, someone else will cry.

In a hotel room not far from the Mango Building, Park Ji-jae and Kim Hyun-eun were both silent as they looked at the contents displayed on the computer.

The content displayed on the screen is a social platform in Corea, similar to Weibo.

At this time, the social platform was full of insults against Park Ji-jae.

The reason is very simple. This time, in the group competition of "The Voice of China 2024", Park Ji-jae not only failed to defeat Bai Xingjian, whom he dissed last week, but also got the worst result, ranking last among the ten groups of performing singers.

"Last week when I came in second, the Internet in our country was full of praise for me, but this week when I came in last, the Internet's tone suddenly changed. It's absolutely right!"

Park Ji-jae said self-deprecatingly.

Although he knew that this was an extremely common situation, it was still difficult to accept when it happened to them.

"Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, that's how it is."

Jin Xianen sighed and said, "But don't worry, let everyone laugh at you for a while. I have already made a backup plan."

Her preparation was also very simple, which was to put the blame on the production team of "The Voice 2024" for Park Ji-jae taking the last place.

After all, Park Ji-jae didn't make any mistakes on the stage last night, it's just that the other singers were too eye-catching.

In addition, Park Ji-jae dissed the program crew last week, so it is natural for the program crew to want to deal with him.

And when everyone points the finger at the production team of "The Voice 2024", Park Ji-jae can still come out to explain and pretend to be an innocent person.

In this way, wouldn't all the benefits be pocketed by him?

Besides, there is almost no risk in doing this.

After all, no matter how long the "Singing Voice 2024" production team's arms are, they will not reach out to Corea. Li Xiao and others just need to take the blame.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Kim Hyun-eun's face involuntarily.

When she told Park Ji-jae her plan, Park Ji-jae's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It still has to be you, Hyun Eun Luna!"

Park Ji-jae gave Kim Hyun-eun a thumbs up.

Jin Xianen smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be too happy too soon. Although public opinion in our country is easier to control, this trick won't work much in China, so don't think about reading Weibo during this period. Find another place to learn Chinese."

The fact that Park Ji-jae got the last place in "The Voice 2024" naturally became a hot topic on Weibo, and he was in the top five.

Various negative contents also flooded in.

"It's okay, it's okay. I can handle it! Besides, even if someone mocks me, I probably won't understand it."

Park Ji-jae smiled and replied, "And if I really want to open up the Chinese market, this kind of experience is also very necessary."

“Very good realization!”

This time it was Kim Hyun-eun who gave him a thumbs up.

Park Ji Jae smiled and got up from the bed, "Then I'll get up, you rest for a while."

……

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Tian Yu’s clarification Weibo was released.

Almost every word and line of writing reveals Bai Xingjian's apology.

Many netizens who heard the news laughed out loud and commented without any mercy.

[With tens of thousands of fans, you can actually do something like having tens of millions of fans. Awesome!]
[I checked the Weibo homepage and thought it was some celebrity who was desperate to come out and stir up some hype, but it turned out to be a semi-retired nobody. It’s useless to stir up such a high level of hype]
[It’s good that you know you were wrong. I hope you can continue to do this next time. After all, such a big job is really rare in the entertainment industry.]
[I really want to laugh. I can only say that the Jokers in a deck of cards are nothing compared to you!]
The controversy over the sharp review of Bai Xingjian's "A Laugh in the Ocean" ended with the release of Tian Yu's clarification video.

However, some of the issues mentioned in his previous Weibo post still caused many netizens to think deeply.

[What is the charm of this imported product, rap, that attracts countless young people in China? 】

This topic was brought up by a sociology expert who has been active on Weibo for many years. Many netizens who like rap and those who don't have participated in the discussion of this topic.

[What else can this be? Just worshipping foreign things. After all, the air in foreign countries is sweet.]
[Real! Imported goods change the packaging and put a "made in cn" on it and it becomes a high-end product. It's so funny]
[You start worshipping and flattering again. Who told you that rap is an imported product? If you really want to dig deeper, our ancestors started rapping more than a thousand years ago. What about the "Book of Songs" and "Li Sao"? What foreigners play with are the leftovers of our ancients]
[That’s right, isn’t our ancient poetry rhymed? In the past, ancient poetry was not read, but sung]
For a time, rap as a form of music once again appeared in front of the public, and both good and bad words were rampant.

With the broadcast of the edited version of "The Voice of China 2024", the interview on Bai Xingjian's creative ideas for the rap version of "A Laugh in the Ocean" also appeared in the public eye.

Bai Xingjian's words were like a gust of east wind, leading the topic related to rap to the creative methods of Chinese rap.

As a result, some controversies surrounding the way of rap creation have not only attracted netizens, but also many rappers in the rap circle to join in this topic.

Watching the situation on Weibo getting worse and worse, Dai Guanhai, the chief director of Jiang Hu Feng Yun, smiled:

"Next, it's our turn to perform."
