After escaping his mother's urge to get married, Li Hyuk continued to be busy with the production of his new album.
But at this moment, a big event happened that shocked the music world and shocked netizens. After a certain company's operation and promotion and analysis of big data, a song "Learning to Meow" came out and became popular all over the Internet.
If that's the case, forget it, because in recent years there have been many popular songs all over the Internet.
But because of Li Hyuk, the backbone of the music scene is very strong. The quality of Chinese albums in the past few years has been quite high, and the level of appreciation from fans is also very high.
The reason why it caused a sensation is that "Learning to Meow" actually beat out many good songs and ranked first on the new song list and second on the hot song list.
Under this song, representative works of various singers such as "East Wind Breaks", "Jiangnan", "Electric Shock", and "West Chamber" shine brightly, all of which are excellent Chinese music songs.
So "Learning to Meow" is particularly dazzling. Why is this song ranked second on the hot song list? Does this song have any content? Does it have any meaning? Or is this song better than the other songs below it?
Are the songs beautiful?
If "Sunny Day" hadn't been so popular, I'm afraid this number one position would have been lost.
Seeing "Learning to Meow" land in the second place, Li Hyuk's fans were instantly dissatisfied. In the eyes of fans, "Learning to Meow" is just a piece of reply. What qualifications does it have to be on the list? Or is it just a song written by Li Hyuk?
.
Not only fans, but even ordinary netizens can't accept it, and people in the industry are also worried.
Capital once again controlled the market, just like Qin Hui defeated Liu Peiqiang, and quality was king once again lost to the traders of flow capital.
Under such a cruel reality, I can pessimistically announce that perhaps the Chinese music scene has no future. After Li Hyuk, this is the last glory."
"I originally thought that the Chinese music scene was experiencing a revival, but it has not happened, especially after "Learning to Meow". I originally thought that the Chinese music scene was going to go global and become mainstream, but it has not happened, especially after "Learning to Meow".
But these short video platforms are just like Weibo, full of marketing accounts and all kinds of unscrupulous attention-grabbing media. On these platforms, ignorance and arrogance will cause people to lose their own knowledge, and then be manipulated by public opinion news.
This is not a victory for pop music, not a victory for fans, nor a victory for black fans or passers-by and netizens, but a victory for capital.
Li He couldn't help but think that perhaps music, an art form that has accompanied mankind for a long time since the birth of human civilization, will eventually become obsolete.
The Internet can make people lose their minds. Of course, Li Hyuk's fans were not angry, so on Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo and other platforms, fans and trolls started arguing.
As for passers-by and netizens, some rationally choose to wait and see, and some choose to help Li Hyuk, but most of them are coerced by public opinion and either join black fans, join fans, or form their own group to cheer for other singers.
The purpose of the operating company behind "Learning to Meow" has also been achieved. Who wins and who loses is not the most important. What is important is that because of this scolding war, the number of views and clicks of "Learning to Meow" has increased significantly.
As long as there is traffic, monetization is not a problem, and the operating company behind it is all smiles. As for what kind of damage this will cause to the already healthy music scene? I'm sorry, I don't care.
All the singers and musicians were silent collectively, and the mainstream media did not speak out. Public opinion was completely mired in gossip, self-media, and quarrels among netizens.
"This is the right thing. Don't think so much. Drink milk tea. This milk tea is delicious. I specially added a lot of pearls." Reba and Li He clinked a cup.
They...this word is very clever, and using them probably insults other them.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to take the number one spot. If a high-quality song gets the number one spot, I have nothing to say, but "Learning to Meow"? I really can't accept it."
Reba thought for a while and said: "Since the matter is already like this, just pretend it doesn't exist. My dear, just write songs and release an album. The public's eyes will naturally be bright. When the limelight passes and time settles, they will be able to judge.
"
Reba knew what was going on in the country, and she was quite speechless when something like this happened. She didn't expect that it would hit Li He so hard.
Although Li Hyuk decided to ignore the incident of "Learning to Meow" being listed on the list and remained silent in response, it is obvious that this matter will not be over easily and will become more and more serious.
"Thank you," Li He took the milk tea, looked at the tall Ferris wheel in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "I was thinking, maybe I should be an actor like you, and I should also embrace capital and traffic."
Zhou Yang's long videos have been recognized by many netizens at Station B. Most of those who can patiently watch long videos at Station B are netizens with certain rational thinking abilities. They have their own judgment and can distinguish between good music and bad music.
I can't help but wonder, is it really the audience, capital, and traffic that controls everything behind this?
Only Da Mimi did not listen to Li Hyuk and angrily took to Weibo to fight against the injustice of the songs written by Li Hyuk.
Hearing this, Li He felt that it made sense: "What you said is very insightful. It doesn't matter, they sing their "Learning to Meow" and I release my album. I will pretend that they don't exist and everyone will be well."
However, this is not necessarily the case for platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou. Short video platforms are easy to spread, are a powerful platform for new media, and are also a concentration of self-media.
"What are you thinking about?" Reba handed Li He a cup of milk tea.
Originally, everyone wanted to stand up and speak for Li He, but Li He stopped him. In this situation, if everyone comes forward, it will only make the matter bigger, and then the traffic capital behind "Learning to Meow" will be even happier.
There is nothing wrong with this song. The only bad thing about it is that in the Chinese music scene where a group of musicians such as Li Hyuk have finally created a competitive environment, it comes out to tell everyone that I am a piece of cake but I am popular.
However, Da Mi Mi himself has a lot of negative fans. After standing up for Li Hyuk, the water became even muddier.
Because of the scolding, many people who had never heard of "Learning to Meow" became interested, and the song's traffic increased significantly for a while.
After learning from Fan Noxuan about the controversy on the Internet and the popularity of "Learning to Meow", Li He was speechless. What is supposed to come will always come, right?
I think one day, some fans may ask him to meow like a cat at his concert.
Several parties quarreled and no one could win.
In this way, with its own efforts, "Learning to Meow" brought the Chinese music scene back to the moment when thousands of people were silent a few years ago, before Li Hyuk made his debut.
Zhou Yang, a well-known music UP at Station B, posted a video boycotting the song "Learning to Meow".
Li Hyuk has gathered the blessings of the last golden decade of the music industry in his previous life, but he still cannot avoid the situation of capital controlling the music art form.
"Oh, yes, after the hype these days, "Learning to Meow" has surpassed "Sunny Day" and reached the number one position." Reba reacted and then comforted: "It's okay, the fans are all charting, and it will come soon.
The number one position is back."
When all this happened, Lee Hyuk-in was abroad, filming the MV for "Garden Party" with Reba.
Li Hyuk smiled bitterly and said: "Now it is no longer second on the hot song list, but now it is number one."
Not to mention Li He, Reba couldn't accept it, and even Deng Ziqi, Xu Song, Zhang Liangying, and all the friends who were close to Li He couldn't accept it.
Just one song "Learning to Meow" caused him to work so hard, and the music scene that had finally improved was ruined. This made Li Hyuk feel a little frustrated and lost the confidence to continue.
However, capital has not considered the consequences after the avalanche.
Hearing what Li He said, Reba could only comfort him: "My dear, these are nothing. "Learning to Meow" is nothing. Although it is now ranked second on the hot song list, most netizens support you.
Yes, I am also on your side, and so is Sister Mi."
Therefore, the fact that "Learning to Meow" beat out all the outstanding Chinese songs to be on the list has spread virally here. Because of the participation of the navy and sunspots, "Learning to Meow" seems to have become the savior of the music industry, and the anti-Lee Pioneer has become more and more fierce.
.
However, all the hype must be met with backlash. In recent years, the focus has shifted to cultural promotion, and the pop music market that is wantonly manipulated by capital can no longer be tolerated.
I have always said that no matter how people view the entertainment industry, whether they think women are prostitutes and men are thieves, or they think actors are harming the country, the entertainment industry is always an important part of culture.
At this time, the entertainment industry is even more important than the inheritance of traditional culture.
Since it is an important part of culture, we cannot sit idly by and wait for bad money to drive out good money. At that time, pop culture will not be able to be saved.
