At the end of March, the most famous paparazzi in the entertainment industry left a prophecy of "see you on Monday" on Zhalang's Weibo, triggering a wave of people eating melons, and leaving a message of "do it and cherish it" in the Chinese Internet community.
The classic famous saying.
In April, the subsidy war for taxi-hailing software continued to cool down.
When Lin Yi and Wan Li had a thrilling trip, Gu Caiwei was not idle either.
At the beginning of this month, the second season of "Singer" she participated in officially came to an end. The idol female singer whose stage name is Vivian won the runner-up in the finals.
With her qualifications, reaching this point is already the limit. Moreover, there is a joke among the people of "Singer" that "the runner-up is the highest honor."
Although she has become the most talked about young female singer through her wonderful performance on this super popular show, controversy still follows her.
Some people are worried about her status as a girl group.
Some people think she is being arrogant because the last song Gu Caiwei sang in the finals was "Next Station Queen".
This song is the representative work of a duo girl group in Hong Kong City. In the lyrics, "Queen" not only refers to the name of a subway station in Hong Kong City, but also represents the highest honorary title for a female singer.
The original singing group's "Next Stop Queen" was widely recognized at that time because their popularity and status had reached that level, and no one thought they were exaggerating.
Later, one of the members was involved in Mr. Chen’s photography incident and was hit hard, and fell from its peak. This taught us the lesson of not repairing computers casually outside.
Gu Caiwei just debuted last year and became well-known through the program "Singer". Her singing of "Next Stop Queen" made some people think she was arrogant, especially many fans of the original singer who were particularly dissatisfied.
Reporters love to stir up trouble. During the interview, they immediately asked in person: "What do you think of the fans of the original singer who think you are not worthy of singing the song "Next Stop Queen"?"
Gu Caiwei's reply to this was: "I liked the song and sang it. In fact, I didn't think too much about it. I don't think there is a question of whether a song is worthy or not."
"The original singer of this song is my favorite girl group, and I have heard it since I was a child. This is also my tribute to my predecessors as a member of the GIVE ME FIVE girl group."
According to Peng Yuchen's instructions, Gu Caiwei did not take the initiative to emphasize her identity as a girl group during the recording of the show.
It wasn't until the finals that there was a singing session, and she undoubtedly arranged for all her teammates to be Gu Caiwei's singing guests.
Now that the show has been recorded, Peng Yuchen told her that the next step is to return to team activities and that she should always emphasize her group during interviews.
Although Gu Caiwei chose the song "Next Stop Queen" herself, Peng Yuchen may not have the intention of attracting other members of her team.
To put it bluntly, it is to use Gu Caiwei's popularity to praise other members, so that they have always been used as background, and finally GIVE ME FIVE became "Vivian and her backup dancers".
The biggest advantage of the idol group is to attract and transfer each other, maximizing the popularity of the group. Although Gu Caiwei's popularity was promoted by Peng Yuchen, she did not want to have only one artist who could make money.
With such a simple interview, reporters can freely produce various reports such as "Vivian's ambitious sword aims at the Queen" and "GIVE ME" and "FIVE's bold statement that the era of twins is a thing of the past".
As the saying goes, there are many famous people, and to some extent this is also a reflection of Gu Caiwei's popularity.
…
In the front-end time, because both of their careers had reached a critical period, Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei had not seen each other for three or four months. They took advantage of the opportunity when she came to the capital with the group for activities and they met at the same place.
.
When Lin Yi saw her, he pretended to look at her carefully, and then said jokingly: "It's strange, it's obviously still the same as before, but something feels different."
Of course Gu Caiwei knew what kind of monster he was making, and immediately replied in a tone of voice:
"Standing in front of you are: the popular ACE of the new generation girl group, a powerful idol female singer recognized by the entertainment industry, and the little queen Vivian in the hearts of fans."
"Haha, it's quite similar to that!"
Lin Yi chatted with her for a while, listening to Gu Caiwei talk about the celebrities she met during the recording, and revealed some little secrets that the outside world didn't know. She looked very excited.
In fact, Lin Yi was not very interested in these topics, but he waited until she finished sharing before he remembered and asked, "Well, you are very popular now, and there should be a lot of paparazzi chasing you. How did you sneak out today?"
"Mr. Peng sent me out personally!"
Gu Caiwei said unexpectedly, "And she is waiting in the car downstairs right now. She said she would take me back later."
Lin Yi did not expect that Peng Yuchen valued and protected Gu Caiwei to such an extent that he would go out to provide cover and go into battle himself.
That's right, after all, she is her number one female artist.
Lin Yi stopped worrying about Peng Yuchen and didn't plan to invite her to sit upstairs. Instead, he shared what he had done during this time.
Gu Caiwei still doesn't quite understand this, but at least she knows that Wanli Travel has now become the number one in the industry.
She leaned on Lin Yi's shoulder and thought: "Then your net worth will rise again?"
Although Liu Jianni is not in place yet, they have indeed begun to discuss the next round of financing. If everything goes well, the valuation of Wanli Travel will of course be further improved.
Given that the scale of Wanli Travel has greatly expanded during the subsidy war, which can be described as an earth-shaking change, it is foreseeable that the valuation will rise very quickly this time.
But he didn't explain this to Gu Caiwei carefully.
"Didn't I tell you that the valuation before listing is impossible to calculate."
"All right."
Gu Caiwei didn't worry too much about this. Anyway, no matter what Lin Yi's net worth was, it made no difference to her.
All she knew was that Lin Yi had become even more powerful.
The two did not stay together for too long. Under the urging of Peng Yuchen's message, Gu Caiwei left Lin Yi's rental house. This time she did not run into Li Moyan and Han Xue next door, nor did she find any trace of the paparazzi.
When Gu Caiwei returned to the hotel, others were discussing the arrangements for the next day's activities. She naturally joined in, as if she had just been called out by Peng Yuchen to say a few words.
In fact, her teammates were somewhat aware that Gu Caiwei was sneaking out of the team, but she was already valued by Peng Yuchen, and now she has become the most popular in the team, so no one investigated her further.
The only exception is Xu Yali.
Because she knew more than the others, during the break, she avoided other teammates and secretly took out a piece of science and technology news and asked with a smile:
