Chapter 88 Hurting Each Other (Please subscribe!)
"Double champion?"

"Ah? Is "The Rap of China" so good at making things happen?"

"Xu Yang and Jiang Hao, huh? The former has become mainstream, but I'm not very familiar with the latter now."

"..."

At noon on May 5, the next episode of the "New Rap" finals arrived as scheduled.

What shocked everyone was that in the final championship battle, Xu Yang and Jiang Hao jointly won the championship of "The Rap of China" with extremely small probability.

As soon as this result came out, it directly topped the Weibo hot search list.

And on the hot search list, eight out of ten are about "The Rap of China".

In addition, the impact of the article Ding Xin published earlier was still there, so countless netizens joined in on this topic.

"The Rap of China" has become a huge hit, and the popularity of the show is unprecedented.

"Isn't this conspiracy too obvious? They even created a double championship just for traffic."

"Shady deal? How could there be any shady deal? The double champions were voted on live!"

"That's right! With so many netizens watching, I don't believe that The Rap of China can be fake."

"And wasn't there a notary present? The audience didn't clear the venue during the final voting phase. What could be the shady deal?"

"Young man, I can only say that you are too naive."

There are endless comments like these on the Internet.

In the director's office of the New Rap program, Wu Jun looked at the various data with great joy and said happily: "Minhong! It is really thanks to your planning that our program became a big hit in the finale. You should be credited for the success of this program!"

Wu Jun gave Guan Minhong a thumbs up, and the corners of his mouth almost rose to his ears.

"As I should, Director Wu. These are all my responsibilities."

Wu Minhua smiled and nodded, and her hands in front of her were trembling slightly.

Because even she herself did not expect that the double championship result would attract so much attention on the Internet.

After being happy for a while, Wu Jun quickly adjusted his mood and calmed down, saying: "It is indeed unnatural for our program to have two champions, and netizens are now focusing on this, so I think we should change the topic as soon as possible."

"Minhong, do you have any good ideas?" Wu Jun looked at Guan Minhong with eyes full of admiration.

Guan Minhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "The best way to change the topic is to divert the blame. Didn't Ding Xin mention two people from the next-door "New Era of Heavenly Group"? And these two people seem to have some connection with our rap circle. We can divert the topic to them."

"Are you talking about Li Zhenxi and Bai Xingjian?" Wu Jun's eyes lit up. He still had some memories of these two people.

"It's them." Guan Minhong nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll leave these matters to you."

"Okay, Director Wu."

So, before the show "The Rap of China" had even left the Weibo hot search list, Li Zhenxi and Bai Xingjian inexplicably became hot searches.

There is no content in the hot search terms, only the names of Li Zhenxi and Bai Xingjian.

This situation made the two main characters look confused.

"What's going on? I don't think I've arranged to buy trending searches for Xing Jian at this time today, right?"

Zheng Wei frowned as he looked at the Weibo hot search list. He clicked on Bai Xingjian's entry and saw that the topic was almost all negative comments about him, a large part of which were saying that he was trying to take advantage of the popularity of "The Rap of China".

"It's really weird. With Yoyo's current popularity, why does he need to join The Rap of China? Although the popularity of this show is quite high, it's just average."

Mei Jie curled her lips and continued, "And the topic about Li Zhenxi is almost the same as Yoyo's. Did someone mess with you two?"

"It is very likely that this is the case. The mastermind behind this may be someone from the New Rap. After all, it is just to change the subject. Their current situation is quite dire."

Zheng Wei nodded. Having been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, she was naturally very familiar with the twists and turns involved.

"Xingjian, do you have any ideas?" Zheng Wei asked.

Feng Shiqi put down his phone and looked over here.

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Since they say I'm trying to ride on the popularity of The Rap of China, then I'll just ride on it. Otherwise, I'll be scolded and there's no benefit at all. What's the point of this?"

Hearing this, Feng Shiqi, Zheng Wei and Mei Jie couldn't help laughing.

But they didn't say anything and just agreed with Bai Xingjian's idea.

Bai Xingjian was editing a piece of copy on Weibo when he suddenly thought of something interesting. He stopped and asked, "Sister Wei, are the makeup photos for the promotional release out?"

The makeup photos here refer to the photos taken for the promotion of "In the Name of the Father". During the photo shoot, Bai Xingjian was dressed in a suit and looked quite similar to the Godfather. "It shouldn't be out so soon. It may take a few hours."

Zheng Wei checked the time. "It's only 6pm now. I estimate that the feature film will be available around 9pm."

"Do you need me to urge them?" Zheng Wei asked.

"No need." Bai Xingjian shook his head. "Then I'll post this Weibo tonight."

……

At 9:30 in the evening, Bai Xingjian posted a Weibo.

Ah ya ya check it check it ah ya
#Bai Xingjian new song preview#
#rap#
#DoubleChampion#
-

This Weibo post is very simple, using a line from the song "In the Name of the Father" followed by various keywords.

Of course, there was also a photo of Bai Xingjian wearing a suit.

What is most confusing is that Bai Xingjian added #double champion# at the end of the text, which is the most popular keyword on the entire Internet today.

Aren’t there many people on the Internet saying that he is trying to ride on the popularity of “The Rap of China”?
Then Bai Xingjian just stopped pretending and just took advantage of it!
To be upright, to be vigorous, to make rapid progress...

After this Weibo post was published, Feng Shiqi, Tang Tang and several other members of Galaxy Girls reposted it.

This move caused heated discussion on the Internet.

"So handsome! Yoyo-kun looks so handsome in a suit!"

"What kind of gangster in a suit is this!!!"

"Don't use adjectives carelessly. Yoyo's suit photo clearly shows elegance."

"Indeed! And he pinned a bunch of roses to his breast?"

"So Yoyo is planning to release a rap track?"

"A single, rap, a line of barely understandable English and an elegant photo. I'm already wanting to listen to this song!"

"Go ahead, go ahead! I will definitely buy any song Yoyo releases!"

"Didn't you notice the last keyword - #double champion#?"

"Hahaha, of course I noticed it! Wasn't Yoyo on the hot search list earlier? A bunch of people below scolded Yoyo for trying to gain popularity, and now Yoyo has directly joined the game - I just ate two bowls of jelly!"

"Brother Yoyo is such a passionate person! I like him!"

"The topic of 'New Rap' is really a diversion. After all the twists and turns, it still ends up back at the 'double champions'."

"Hahaha, but it's still somewhat useful. Isn't a large number of people's attention now drawn to Brother Yoyo?"

"But now it seems that the double champion label of "New Rap" will probably make people laugh at it for the rest of their lives."

When netizens were discussing the matter on Weibo, Li Zhenxi also saw the Weibo post posted by Bai Xingjian.

"Interesting, really interesting, why didn't I think of this method before?"

Li Zhenxi muttered to himself, then edited a similar text on Weibo, with the keywords #rap# and #double champion#, and posted it directly.

Then, Weibo became even more lively.

Fans of Bai Xingjian and Li Zhenxi cheered.

Isn’t “The Rap of China” trying to divert trouble away?
Let's just take advantage of the situation and go with the flow.

Come on! Let’s hurt each other!

However, Bai Xingjian and Li Zhenxi's actions angered some people in the rap circle.

Rappers from the underground and Bai Xingjian and Lee Jinseok, who have idol attributes, have always had some conflicts in their stances.

Now, seeing the two of them openly riding on the popularity of "The Rap of China" and making fun of their show's "double champions", controversy is on the verge of breaking out.

"I'm really impressed. Just because these two sang a few rap lines on the stage of 'New Era of Heavenly Group', they don't really think they are big shots, do they?"

"As for the rap level of Bai Xingjian and Li Zhenxi, they are not much better than the contestants eliminated in our show's audition."

"They are so serious, it seems like the rap they are going to release will be a big hit."

"Just be your idol in 'New Era of Heavenly Group' and don't get involved in rap."

"That's right! You can't just eat this cake whenever you want!"
