Chapter 122 Food! Just practice more!
Even before the awards ceremony at the Chinese Music Festival ended, the number of related discussions online continued to rise.
It wasn't until Xu Kong successfully won the Best Male Singer of the Year that the popularity completely exploded.
On Weibo, eight of the top ten hot searches were related to this music festival.
In just a few minutes, the entry for #歌王Xukong# shot to the top of the hot search list.
There is also a very conspicuous word "explosion" next to it.
"Xu Kong really became the king of singers?"
"Witnessing history and watching the entire awards ceremony, I can only say that Xu Kong completely won."
"The youngest singer in the history of the Chinese music industry, someone actually won the Best Newcomer and also directly won the final Best Singer of the Year."
Public opinion online was still relatively normal at the beginning.
Mainly because everyone was immersed in the shock that Xu Kong won the Male Singer of the Year.
There are kings of singers every year. The reason why there is so much popularity this year is mainly because Xu Kong is indeed a little different.
Six months ago, Xu Kong was still a traffic star with a poor online reputation.
Let alone winning an award, there are doubts about whether he is qualified to be called a professional singer.
Now you tell me that he has become the king of singers. Even though everyone has listened to Xu Kong's high-quality singles during this period, the surprise in his heart is definitely there.
But what really caused a sudden change in public opinion on the Internet was Bai Mintao's explosive interview video after the award ceremony.
"I'm not a buddy, but I'm still a well-known first-line singer, so I can't afford to lose, right?"
"To be honest, I have listened to both Xu Kong and Bai Mintao's songs this year. In terms of song quality alone, it is really Xu Kong's unilateral crushing. You can say that Xu Kong is a junior and a newcomer, but you have to say that the organizer is shady. , is it still a bit too much?”
"I don't like any of Bai Mintao's songs. Xu Kong at least has quite a few that I can add to his playlist this year and have them on repeat. This time, I stand by Xu Kong."
Some people think that Bai Mintao cannot afford to lose, and it is a bit disgraceful to scold other singers after the awards.
But some people began to question the fairness of this award.
"It's just that I broke the defense, but it's understandable. After all, I've been running with you for so many years, and finally the one where I was most promising to win was snatched away by a newcomer."
"Xu Kong was shortlisted for five awards and won all five. Why don't the organizers just give all the awards to Xu Kong to avoid wasting time."
"Although Xu Kong has made great progress during this period, and I have not put him on the list of other popular idols, is it too early to become the king of singers now?"
——"No, you are going to say that the organizer is serving water, but now that the organizer is not serving water, you are unhappy again?"
"It's not a matter of carrying water, it's that Xu Kong is indeed not qualified to be the king of singers at the moment."
——"If you win the Best Singer of the Year, do you have to be called the King of Singer? Who stipulates it?"
"This has always been the default rule in the Chinese music scene. As long as you win the best of the three major music awards, you will be the king of singers. Otherwise, you would think that so many first-line singers work hard to release albums every year to compete for this award. What?”
Once the rhythm starts, it can’t be stopped.
There was a huge uproar on the Internet about Xu Kong's award this time.
On the one hand, I think there is nothing wrong with Xu Kong winning the award. The quality of Xu Kong’s works this year is obvious to everyone.
The other party felt that it was deliberate favoritism on the part of the organizers. Otherwise, how could other singers have been nominated for so many awards before and all won them.
As for Bai Mintao, the initiator of the whole incident, he already regretted it when he said those words in front of so many reporters and cameras.
After all, the entertainment industry is still an industry that pays attention to glamor, and most people also take image issues into consideration.
Even if there is a real conflict, it is impossible to start a direct rant.
He didn't win the award, so there's actually no big problem with Yin and Yang.
He even directly stated that he didn't think Xu Kong was qualified to win the award, and it was totally fine if he didn't accept it.
But the bad thing is that in addition to Xu Kong, he also dragged the organizer of the Chinese Music Festival into trouble.
Publicly questioning the fairness of the music festival is completely a waste of money.
It was indeed impulsive at the time.
But now, he is being put there by countless netizens, and he definitely cannot give in.
And the current public opinion cannot be quelled by him being soft.
So after the awards were over and the matter had been fermenting for nearly two hours, Bai Mintao, with the assistance of his public relations team, updated a Weibo update.
"I was indeed impulsive at the time and should not publicly slander the Chinese Music Festival. As an 'old friend' who has participated in so many editions, I know that the organizer is absolutely fair and impartial in the selection of awards."
In the previous pages, Bai Mintao took the initiative to lower his posture and apologized for his inappropriate remarks during the interview.
He also played the emotional card and talked about his past and mental journey of participating in music festivals over the years, from when he was still a newcomer to now when he has become famous for a long time.
He expressed how difficult it was for him and some past events related to the music festival.
However, those who are a little more attentive can keenly discover that although they said a lot, they were actually just apologizing to the music festival, but did not mention the most important Xu Kong.
Sure enough, at the end, Bai Mintao changed the subject.
"As a senior, I certainly appreciate Xu Kong, a newcomer in the music scene, and I also like some of his works."
"But what I want to say is that I still don't recognize some of the awards he was able to win at this music festival."
"I'm not targeting Xu Kong, I simply feel that it's not the right time for him to win these awards."
"If the final winner is Teacher Pu Fu or Senior She, I will have nothing to say and my heartfelt blessings."
Feng Ge and Zhu Yu usually don't work overtime, but this time it is indeed a special situation.
As soon as he put his daughter to sleep, he saw this article posted by Bai Mintao on Weibo.
“The PR team opposite is very professional”
Zhu Yu couldn't help but speak.
Logically speaking, Bai Mintao was the first to attack, and public opinion would be favorable to them no matter what.
However, in this article, the other party first lowered his stance and apologized, and then told a story, allowing some netizens who were originally passive or neutral to enter Bai Mintao's perspective.
Finally, he made it clear that he would have no objection to Xu Kong winning the award if it were anyone else.
This can be regarded as bringing the originally chaotic situation directly into a separate conflict between Bai Mintao and Xu Kong.
A very smart approach indeed.
As soon as this public relations article was published, Bai Mintao, who was still at a slight disadvantage, was now at least able to put a 50-50 foothold in the public opinion battle with Xu Kong.
"What should I do?"
Zhu Yu contacted Fengge's professional public relations team while thinking about a suitable angle to respond.
Xu Kong won five awards in a row this time. Although it is definitely a good thing worth celebrating, the limelight is still too overwhelming.
It is estimated that not only Bai Mintao, but also some other singers in the industry are dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Kong won the award, and there are quite a few of them, but no one will say it out loud at this juncture.
Just when Zhu Yu had been thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly saw her cell phone ringing.
It was the notification sound that she paid special attention to on Weibo.
"The account 'Xukong' that you are particularly following has just updated an update."
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment.
Did Xu Kong post on Weibo at this time?
In his impression, Xu Kong should be a relatively calm character. Although he is not very old, he is even better than most artists who have been in the industry for a long time.
And as someone who debuted as a traffic idol, it is impossible for the other party not to know that leaving it to a professional public relations team is the most sensible thing to do at this time.
Zhu Yu clicked on Xu Kong's Weibo with anxiety.
The top spot on Weibo is still the promotion for the launch ceremony of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The first post that followed showed that it was posted one minute ago, but at this time the number of likes had reached more than 70,000, and the number of comments had exceeded 10,000.
Xu Kong's Weibo response was too short compared to Bai Mintao's thousands-word article.
Just four simple words.
You can even read it all at a glance.
The content of this Weibo is:
"Cook! Just practice more!"
Less than ten minutes after Xu Kong's Weibo was posted, it has already attracted the attention of countless netizens.
The popularity of this matter is already high, and most netizens who like to eat melons think that it will take at least a few days.
Unexpectedly, not only did Bai Mintao respond quickly, but Xu Kong also left the game in person in less than half an hour.
"Hahahahaha, if you are good at a dish, practice it more often."
"Brother Xu is so handsome. The strong should humiliate the weak."
"Bai Mintao wrote a large piece of it densely, and her mother-in-law looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law. I still feel comfortable with Xu Kong's response."
"That's how it should be. I'm tired of reading those hypocritical public relations articles."
"Okay, okay, this is the momentum a king of singers should have."
No one expected that Xu Kong would reply like this.
It can no longer be described as a tough attitude, it simply felt like he quickly reached out and gave Bai Mintao a big dick.
It attracted applause from many melon-eating netizens.
Even many passers-by who disliked Xu Kong were shouting happily at this time.
Mainly because the contrast is really too great.
No matter how you say it, Bai Mintao can be regarded as a capable singer. He usually wears a beard and appears in the public eye as a tough guy.
As for Xu Kong, who was born as a traffic idol, he was naturally labeled as "girly", "hypocritical", and "unlike a man".
But look at the attitudes of the two people.
Bai Mintao's side turned into a long public relations article, with all kinds of twists and turns and bitches.
Xu Kong's attitude was very simple. Don't tell me about whether I should win the award or about my qualifications. The fact is that you didn't win the award.
Since you didn't win the award, since you're a loser, don't make so many excuses, go back and polish your work, practice hard and compete again next year.
Why are you talking so much?
At this time, in a hotel in Shanghai, when Bai Mintao saw those four words from Xu Kong, his whole expression twisted with anger.
After publishing the article with the help of the public relations team, Bai Mintao was looking forward to Xu Kong's response.
No matter what the other party says, what follows is nothing more than a public opinion war.
His main attack is that Xu Kong is not qualified to win the Best Male Singer of the Year. The other side just says that he can't afford to lose or anything. But with so many years of experience as a running companion, he is naturally the weak side, so he can let netizens speak for him. .
Based on his own public relations team, he was originally very confident in controlling subsequent public opinion.
But who knew that this guy Xu Kong would be completely unreasonable and choose such a face-breaking way.
"My food?"
"Is it my food?"
Bai Mintao couldn't accept it at all.
But the fact is that he has been the king of singers for so many years, but still failed to win the award.
This has almost become a problem in my heart.
Before, I had always comforted myself with words like bad luck.
At this moment, Xu Kong suddenly appeared, saying that you didn't get the award because you were bad, don't make other excuses.
This made Bai Mintao calm down.
After smashing most of the things in the hotel room, Bai Mintao picked up his mobile phone. He didn't want to care about anything at the moment. He just wanted to scold Xu Kong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out of his mouth anyway.
"Calm down."
In the end, the agent snatched Bai Mintao's cell phone in time.
"Give me your phone!"
Bai Mintao's eyes were red.
The agent sighed helplessly.
Bai Mintao still has the same temper, even though his company's public relations team is already the best in the country.
But when faced with the other person's impulsiveness, he still feels a little powerless.
Just like this time, if it hadn't been for Bai Mintao's rant in front of reporters, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
"This matter ends here."
The agent spoke.
If Xu Kong's team wrote a good public relations article in response, it would be nothing more than a public opinion war between the two sides.
Everyone controls reviews based on their own abilities, buys trolls, finds marketing accounts to set the pace, and so on.
In the end, it is still difficult to say who suffered the greater loss.
But if Xu Kong doesn't play with you at all and just goes off to show off his face, things are no longer within their control.
And the most important thing is that the Chinese music festival has ended.
"The Chinese Music Festival has been held for nearly 30 years, and the selection of all awards has always maintained the concept of fairness and justice."
"There has never been any favoritism or fraud."
After Bai Mintao read this official statement from the Chinese Music Festival given by his manager, he finally calmed down.
On the surface, the official music festival did not mention the public opinion at all, and did not even mention Xu Kong or any of his names at all.
But the content of such a statement is actually equivalent to a statement.
They sided with Xu Kong, and they did so without reservation.
You can ignore a newcomer like Xu Kong, but Bai Mintao, the official of the Chinese Music Festival, is not someone who can take the initiative to find trouble.
