Sky Forum is one of the largest BBS forums in China, with more than 150 million registered users.
It claims to be the online home for Chinese people around the world. It has nine main sections including news and current affairs, people's livelihood perspectives, film and television talks, gossip, literature and reading, fashion hot spots, emotional home, etc., with as many as 50+ sections.
Among them, the international outlook, domestic perspective, entertainment gossip, and interesting stories are extremely popular, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of active users. In the 20 years since the forum was established, many hot Internet events and Internet celebrities have emerged.
Therefore, Sky Forum has also become one of the important battlefields for Internet promoters.
The post clicked by Wang Jiashi accusing "The Most Powerful Singer-Songwriter" of not being worthy of its name was posted in the entertainment gossip section. The poster's ID is Stray Cat, and it has become a hot post with more than 1 million clicks.
The ID of Stray Cat is very famous in the entertainment section of the Sky Forum. His identity is quite mysterious. No one knows whether he is a boy or a girl or what his occupation is. He makes daily revelations on the entertainment section, breaking all kinds of news in the entertainment industry.
For example, a certain celebrity cheated on his wife, a certain idol scolded his fans, a certain celebrity was having sex with a gay...
Stray cats' posts have a common feature, that is, they are meaningful, and the information they reveal is often genuine, and rarely make up rumors or make up facts. Therefore, they are regarded as the guiding light of the entertainment version by forum netizens.
Everyone usually pays close attention to his posts, and within just a few hours of being posted, they have reached the top of the forum, with more than 10,000 replies.
On Monday morning, the number of 10,000+ replies was astonishing.
In this post, Stray Cat took out the popular variety show "The Strongest Singer and Composer" on Shonan Satellite TV and gave it a beating. The incident that broke out was Lu Chen, who was eliminated during the audition!
Lu Chen, male, 22 years old, a Beijing-born singer, once sang in a Houhai bar.
Based on these few pieces of information, very few people really know who Lu Chen is. Among the capital’s population of 30 million+, there are at least 10 million people living in Beijing. There are so many unknown singers that even a brick thrown in Sanlitun, Houhai, would knock them over.
Several.
But the stray cat also pointed out Lu Chen's other identity.
Lu Chen is the songwriter of three songs by the Wandering Band: "In Spring", "Reason for Being Strong" and "I Want to Have a Family". He is a talented pop music creator!
What? You said you haven’t heard these three songs?
Then you are really out. Go to the official Chinese original music ranking website and take a look. "In Spring" firmly occupied the top spot in the 3rd and 4th weeks of July!
Moreover, "Strong Reasons" is currently ranked 7th, "I Want to Have a Family" is 12th, and Wandering Band's album "In Spring" climbed to the 2nd position on the album hot list last week.
As a small album with only 5 songs, it is incredible to have such a high ranking on the original music chart. Because the Wandering Band is a new group that has just debuted.
Anyone who is not blind should know that their success is completely inseparable from the three songs composed by Lu Chen!
Such an outstanding songwriter was actually eliminated from the audition for "The Most Powerful Singer-Songwriter"?
That is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Stray Cat also mentioned in the post that Lu Chen not only has extraordinary creative talent, but his playing and singing skills are also very good, so there is no possibility of losing the audition due to poor performance.
To prove what he said, he attached two links to Youshi.com below.
The first link is a clip of Lu Chen singing in the "Singing China" qualifying competition, and the second link is a live video of Lu Chen winning first place among the top 16 of 32.
Moreover, the songs Lu Chen used to participate in the competition were all his own original works!
In this regard, Stray Cat commented: We always say that the original power in China is no longer enough. Most idol stars can only cover and imitate popular music from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. There are fewer and fewer good creators.
But in fact, there are talented people from generation to generation, and it is not that there are no outstanding creators, and they don’t get opportunities.
"The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" should have been the most suitable stage for Lu Chen to display his talents, but due to malicious suppression by some people, he was forced to compete for his honor in "Singing China". It is really sad!
This is also the tragedy of the domestic pop music scene.
Stray Cat finally said that the reason why he broke the news on the forum was not because he was paid to speak for others.
He didn't know Lu Chen, and he didn't have any dealings with Lu Chen. Someone had tipped him off first. And he was deeply moved by the songs written and sung by Lu Chen, so he took the initiative to attack Shonan Satellite TV.
.
Stray Cat's two favorite songs are "In Spring" by Wandering Band and "My Deskmate" by Lu Chen.
This post is very long. It contains a description of Lu Chen’s elimination from the audition of “The Most Powerful Singer-Songwriter”. It includes his appreciation and understanding of the song “In Spring” and his strong opinions on the trend of the domestic pop music scene.
attack.
And it’s well-founded, with videos and the truth!
At the end of the post, Stray Cat added: The most powerful singer-songwriter, Lu Chen beat Ling Xiaoxiao by at least three blocks!
It took Wang Jiashi more than half an hour to read this post completely, including the time to watch two live videos. He read it very carefully and even browsed many replies.
This hot post has a very high number of replies, and the comment area refreshes very quickly.
"Is it hype again?"
"orz, this post was posted by the stray cat master, I support it!"
"Hahaha, are Hunan Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV going to have a fight? I have expected it for a long time."
"This material is a bit interesting. I'm curious who are some of the people who suppress newcomers."
"In the spring? Ahhhh, this is my favorite song recently. I played it dozens of times last night!"
"I heard In the Spring, and I didn't expect it to be written by someone of my age. I thought it was originally written by the Wandering Band."
"I have watched the Singing China Top 32 competition. The song Lu Chen sang is very good. I support him!"
"The Cat God takes action, and the world is in chaos again!"
"Can I say that I like Ling Xiaoxiao?"
“Good stuff…”
The Sky Forum is a mixed bag, with everyone replying: some are curious, some are questioning, and some are supportive.
Wang Jiashi very much agrees with Stray Cat's understanding and appreciation of the song "In Spring", and also believes that Lu Chen, who composed this song, is a very good composer.
If you include the latter's performance in "Singing China", it is no exaggeration to say that he is an outstanding singer-songwriter.
However, Wang Jiashi really couldn't imagine that a song like "In Spring" was actually written by a 22-year-old young man, shattering the impression he had previously constructed in his mind.
As for the inside story of Lu Chen's suppression, Wang Jiashi didn't have much interest.
It is said that Stray Cat is also a big marketing powerhouse. He has seen a lot of gossip posts from other parties. Many of them are true, and some are deliberately hyped. Even he, an insider in the industry, cannot completely tell the truth.
But just regarding the song "In Spring" itself, Wang Jiashi has too much to say.
He closed the web page, opened his work software, and typed the words "In Spring" on the title.
He wrote:
I just came back from a vacation abroad, and the jet lag hasn't come back yet, so I went to work in the company today.
Then I heard a song called "In Spring".
I think many people should know and listen to this song and have their own experiences and insights. It seems that there is no need for me to say anything more, just listen to the song.
But there are some words stuck in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable not to say them. I really want to share them with others, so I wrote this article.
This is a song that seems to be relatively petty bourgeois. It is written about a person who already has a "credit card", a "little princess", and a "home with 24-hour hot water", and "all the pain in the past has gone with the wind"
Those who have gone through hardships have nostalgia for the difficult and "no one cares about" youthful past, as well as a cry and worry about the unknown tomorrow.
All this can be seen from the lyrics of the song. The lyrics of "In Spring" are not complicated, it is a simple three-section structure. The first two verses describe the difficult and happy days in the past, and the last verse describes
Nowadays, the days are no longer difficult but sad and confusing. The overall climax is the expression of worries about the future and the ultimate belonging of life.
What moved me deeply was the overwhelmingly strong emotion contained in this song!
…
Wang Jiashi spent the whole morning working on the same article.
He wrote and revised again and again, polishing each word word by word. He recoded several paragraphs seven or eight times because he was not satisfied. It was very difficult for him to write a recommendation article of just a thousand words.
Because when Wang Jiashi was typing on the keyboard, he also typed his aroused emotions into the words.
In the small room, there was only the clicking sound of the keyboard.
At the same time, this Sky Forum post [Doesn’t live up to the name of “The Strongest Singer-Composer”, reveal the inside story of Lu Chen, the author of “In Spring”, who was eliminated!] was also forwarded to his blog by Stray Cat.
Stray Cat is not a big V in Inspur Blog, but after he made many friends in the blog circle, he was liked and forwarded by these big V bloggers with hundreds or even tens of millions of fans.
Today is the first working day after the weekend, which is when office workers and white-collar elites are busy, so the post does not spread quickly on the blog, and the number of forwards is not very large.
However, during the lunch break, the number of retweets brought by several big Vs suddenly increased sharply, from dozens to hundreds at the beginning to 5,000+, and the number of comments also exceeded 3,000+, forming a small hot spot.
But this is just the beginning, like a brewing storm, the wind is rising slightly——
