Chapter 97 One Tang and one week, a showdown of geniuses
Obviously, Tangze’s self-description of being “unremarkable” in the interview easily aroused heated discussion.
It was almost early in the morning, but the Internet was also noisy.
[Made, Karasawa is too pretentious and does not suit his status as a youth idol. He should keep a low profile.]
[Upstairs, Fairy Tang is just talking in a low-key manner, but...it’s hard to convince us!]
[I really want to say to Tangze, your sister’s talent is yours, but you have taken our title away, so who are we? Are we talented?]
[I won’t defend Tangtang this time. He is too self-effacing. He is so talented, how can he be mediocre?]
[It’s really a big departure. I always think what Tangze says makes sense, but I also think he’s talking nonsense!]
[It’s not an illusion upstairs. Chopin and Ramanujan should be considered monsters and should not be equated with geniuses. Anyway, I remember it, it’s just ordinary Karaze!]
[Pingwuqi Tangze doesn’t rhyme well, it should be called Pingwuqi Tangcairen]
【……】
Since then, the meme of "mediocre Tang talents" has spread like wildfire and has continued into later generations, specifically used to ridicule those powerful people who are overly modest.
If you include some of Karasawa's emoticons, the irony effect will be ten times stronger.
Early in the morning on February 4th, because of Tang Ze’s interview yesterday, many media immediately put Tang Ze and Zhou Jielun’s personal covers on their headlines, with a unified title:
"One week at a time, who is the real musical genius?"
Although the titles are the same, the content reports are different.
"Tang Ze, who was once labeled as the next Zhou Jielun, has now eliminated half of it with his directorial ability, but can he completely get rid of the other half? Maybe Tang Ze's first album "Positive Energy" can tell you!"
"In the collision between representatives of the new generation of singers from the Mainland and Wanwan, who can be better? Is it Xiao Zhou of the Tang Dynasty, or Da Zhou of the Little Tang Dynasty? Can Tang Ze's "Positive Energy" prove himself?"
""Positive Energy" is Tang Ze's first album, but it directly competes with the Asian King Zhou Jielun. Is this luck or misfortune in Tang Ze's music career?"
Through these hot reports, "Don't Stop the Cameras!" has gained a lot of momentum.
"Xinlang Entertainment reports for you that since the release of "Yangtze River No. 7", the box office of other movies has become increasingly sluggish, but "Don't Stop the Camera!" is an exception. Driven by Tang Ze's first album "Positive Energy", its single-day sales
The box office is close to one million."
"Tencent Entertainment reports for you that "Don't Stop the Camera!" won nearly one million more in a single day, with a daily box office increase of up to 50%. According to the current trend, it may be able to create a higher peak and launch a charge towards the 180 million mark.
."
"Souhu Entertainment reports for you that "Don't Stop the Camera!" has won glory again, and the box office has soared and rebounded. What miracle can Tang Ze create with this movie? Maybe its goal is 200 million."
I watched the pre-order volume of the "Positive Energy" album increase from 45,000 in 3 days to 75,000 in 4 days, and increased by 30,000 in one day.
Tang Ze knew that his method of using Zhou Jielun as a hype worked, and the effect was remarkable.
Even the already sluggish box office of "Don't Stop the Camera!" directly helped it reach close to one million.
Tang Ze was very satisfied with this, and began to look forward to how much the album could help the movie box office increase.
If he can exceed 200 million, he will be completely established in the film industry.
At this time, Lao Wu hurriedly came to see him: "Mr. Tang, look at the latest newspaper. Yu Dong is sending Lu Chuan to slander you again!"
Tang Ze took the newspaper from Lao Wu and read it, mainly Lu Chuan's interview report:
"What do you think about the box office performance of "Don't Stop the Camera!" which earned another million at the box office, while the box office of "This Man Is From Earth 2" was so low that it already had less than ten million?"
Lu Chuan said expressionlessly: "I don't think much of it. This is all the result of Tang Ze's marketing. He should not be a filmmaker, but a salesman."
"Look at his marketing methods, one Tang every week? This is clearly Tang Ze taking advantage of Zhou Jielun's popularity."
"Zhou Jielun and I became friends when we were filming. I think Jielun should hate this kind of behavior very much."
"Think about it carefully, Jie Lun has been working hard in the music industry for 8 or 9 years, but what about Tang Ze? He only released a few songs, and then he started to compete with Jie Lun? Where did he get the qualifications?"
"Reports are everywhere. Let's prove this statement. Those media must have received money from Tang Ze."
"But netizens are irrational and regard this as a collision of geniuses. Little do they know that others are just using this to harvest their wallets."
There is no doubt that Lu Chuan’s interview caused a lot of turmoil.
Many netizens also realized that Tang Ze had only written a few songs, so why was he suddenly ranked alongside Zhou Jielun?
Looking at the media reports, no one has questioned this matter, as if they have acquiesced to this fact.
If Lu Chuan hadn't pointed it out, they would have almost been fooled.
Then those people who thought they had been deceived were provoked, and among them Zhou Jielun's fans began to form a small group to boycott Tang Ze's movies and albums.
In response, Lao Wu sneered and said: "It's really stupid. We only gave money to a few media outlets, and other media reported it uniformly. It was obviously spontaneous. Mr. Tang, you worked hard with your own ability."
"They don't even think about it. No matter how talented Tianze is, is it possible that all the media will buy it together?"
Tangze also smiled and shook his head, not caring about it: "Ignore them, we just concentrate on getting ready for the album to be sold."
"By the way, on February 9th, China Vision will join hands with us to hold a celebration party for the movie one month after its release."
"Remember to invite everyone who has contact with Tianze, don't ignore anyone."
"Understood!"
As for the media, they were actually very unjust.
It is true that Karasawa only wrote a few songs, but each one of them reached number one on the charts and caused a considerable impact.
This has led many media to believe that the five divine songs that started a trend a few months ago were also written by Tang Ze.
These five divine songs are genuine and have overshadowed Zhou Jielun's new album.
At that time, Zhou Jielun's new album had just been released, and it was at its peak.
But it can't match the momentum of the Divine Comedy, so it can only succumb to it and barely compete for the top spot.
In the eyes of the media, it is only a matter of time before Tang Ze's influence rivals or even surpasses that of Zhou Jielun.
Of course, what they were chasing from beginning to end was the hot spot, not Tang Ze.
Therefore, they found that it was profitable to criticize Tang Ze, and many media turned to criticize:
"There is no lower limit to Karasawa's popularity, and he will eventually suffer the consequences. Not everyone can bear the weight of fame."
"I suggest that when Tang Ze uses Zhou Jielun's fame to achieve his own goals, he should pay some money first."
"Tang Ze has lost his way in the pursuit of fame. His heart is not pure. He can no longer make good movies or write good music."
Tang Ze was boycotted, which naturally made some people gloat over his misfortune, but there were also many people who wanted to help him.
For example, Liu Yifei.
She is actually very distressed these days.
Because a few days ago, she felt that what she said to Tangze might be too direct!
Stop calling so often...
Make an appointment or something...
Did Karasawa realize anything? Could he have misunderstood? Or did he really care?
Or maybe, her words are actually a bit hurtful? Should she be more gentle?
She felt bitter because she often had constant thoughts.
In order to sort out her mood, she obviously restrained herself from calling Tang Ze.
In the end, Tang Ze called once and everything was ruined.
The less he wanted to contact him, the more Liu Yifei thought of Tang Ze.
And in fact, as a celebrity, she has always paid attention to Karaze's information and reports.
This made her patience in not contacting Karaze seem to have completely lost its effectiveness.
Just in time, Tang Ze sent her an invitation to celebrate the sales of "Don't Stop the Camera!"
Nowadays, Tang Ze is being smeared and attacked at every turn, so she shouldn't add to the chaos by stubbornly refusing to do so.
I thought we were going to meet again anyway, so I just called and asked.
Another example is Zhou Jielun.
I felt quite unhappy when I saw Tang Ze being said to be unworthy of being compared with him.
Tang Ze is his lifelong enemy. If he doesn’t deserve it, who does?
Zhou Jielun said to Yang Junrong: "Junrong, let's take a report and respond to what Lu Chuan said."
"No problem!" Zhou Jielun makes the decision in the company, and Yang Junrong has no objection.
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Jielun thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Tang Ze give us an invitation letter to his movie celebration party?"
"I'm going to meet him first, and then I'll do the reporting. I want to see the real Tang Ze."
Yang Junrong hesitated and said: "But the celebration banquet is on February 9th, and there are still several days left."
Zhou Jielun said in confusion: "Huh? What did you say? Today is not February 9th? Are you lying to me?"
