Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal Chapter 337 - Enormous Popularity Gained Through Hyping

Chapter 337: Enormous Popularity Gained Through Hyping

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Sheng Wens.h.i.+'s mood was in an agitated mood these past few days.

Min Feiyao's popularity had shot up like a rocket. As one of the main chief editors of Ku Ge Music, Sheng Wens.h.i.+ sensed that there was something strange behind this. For Li Nianwei, her popularity came as a result of the help of the Young Master plus her own capability. But this time, it was different for Min Feiyao.

Being a music editor, it was natural that Sheng Wens.h.i.+ was familiar with who Min Feiyao was. Just considering the basics alone, her voice was quite unique, and she was very pretty too. Overall, she could be considered to be one of the leading figures in the music industry in these recent two years.

However, the problem was that she rose in popularity came too fast and also a bit too drastically.

If she took her steps carefully one step at a time, it wouldn't be difficult for her to achieve a good result eventually. However, it was obvious that her target was to overtake Li Nianwei. Her actions these few days really caused many to be astonished.

"Where did her confidence to pit against Li Nianwei come from?" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ frowned and thought to himself. "Her capability is quite far from Li Nianwei's. Just in terms of the degree of limpidness of the voice alone, she couldn't be compared to Li Nianwei. Also, her looks aren't as perfect as Li Nianwei's as well. For someone like Min Feiyao, even if some company wanted to package her, they wouldn't have gone to such an extent."

"Unless she has a very strong backing supporting her?" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ pondered. "Yup, that might be possible. But who could it be? Which company's boss or young master is it?"

It was no wonder Sheng Wens.h.i.+ was thinking this way.

In the entertainment industry, it was normal for a company to want to promote someone. Like Li Nianwei, she was promoted by Hong Dali.

However, it was unrealistic for a company to be willing to spend so many resources just to promote one person. After all, Li Nianwei was unique. Even the previously most famous celebrity Tai Yajing admitted defeat to her. If Min Feiyao couldn't achieve Li Nianwei's status, it would be hard for the company to even recoup their investments.

These few days, Sheng Wens.h.i.+ had made a rough calculation. The advertis.e.m.e.nts on Min Feiyao and the fees for hiring the Internet Water Army would have cost at least 10 million yuan. The advertis.e.m.e.nts that could be seen everywhere and the reports by the large online websites could have cost a few hundred thousand each. Who would be willing to spend so much on her?

Also, looking at the current look of things, it was obvious that the one behind her wanted to pit against Hong Dali. This made things even more interesting and complicated.

Ring~~~

As he was thinking of these, his phone rang. Sheng Wens.h.i.+ picked it up and took a look. Then, he immediately accepted the call. "Old Ding, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly call me?"

Ding Chengzhi's cheerful voice came from over the phone. "Old Sheng, are you free tonight? I have spent a lot of effort to obtain the tickets to Min Feiyao's concert. Don't you want to go and take a look?"

"Er…" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ was obviously dazed for a while. "Old Ding, you can be considered to be the Young Master's man now, are you sure that it's OK for you to go?"

"There are no boundaries for music, I'm just going there to admire the music. You can just take it that I am going there to check on our enemies; the result is about the same." Ding Chengzhi was nonchalant. "Also, the Young Master obviously isn't very concerned with the things happening in the music industry. There is no need to worry."

"The Young Master really has a big heart…" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ head was full of sweat. "Now, we practically can't see any news of Li Nianwei online, isn't he worried at all?"

"What could cause the Young Master to be worried about?" Ding Chengzhi felt strange and asked, "Have you ever seen the Young Master worried over anything before?"

"Hm…" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ thought for a while. "You don't say, I really never saw or heard of the Young Master worrying because of something before."

"That settles it, right? Stay at your house and don't go out, I'm coming over to fetch you now!" Ding Chengzhi hang up after saying this.

Fourth of June, Sunday, at 2:00 PM.

Tianjing City International Airport.

The public square was filled with young men and women, about ten or twenty thousand people or so. Most of them were holding boards high with words written on, such as:

"Min Feiyao, I love you!"

"Min Feiyao, the new generation G.o.ddess!"

"G.o.ddess Yaoyao, I want to marry you!"

When Min Feiyao came out from the plane wearing a large pair of sungla.s.ses and dressed colorfully, they immediately screamed, their voices comparable to that of Vitas from Hong Dali's previous life. Their voice practically penetrated through the clouds and could even tear fabrics apart. All of them shouted the same thing: "Yaoyao, replace Li Nianwei, you are the only G.o.ddess. I love you!"

The security guards in the airport all felt pain in their t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es. How were the other pa.s.sengers supposed to exit now that these people had blocked the entire public square?

Also, a few of the security guards were loyal fans of Li Nianwei. Upon seeing this scene, they immediately humphed and said, "A bunch of r.e.t.a.r.ded fans."

"h.e.l.lo everybody, I love all of you too!" The number of fans present exceeded everyone's expectations. Min Feiyao waved her hands to her fans as she walked past, causing numerous fans to scream in just the short distance that she walked. Some fans even acted like they fainted and got carried out by others—but they just rested for two minutes, changed a cap and ran back in…

Outside the airport, the two pavements along the road were filled with Min Feiyao's fans. Of course, it was uncertain how many of them were actually paid to do so—whatever the case was, the scene was indeed very grand. Those fanatical fans were lined up from the airport all the way outside. Min Feiyao walked for so long that her legs ached, before her fans and the hired Internet Water Army reluctantly dispersed.

6:00 PM.

The surrounding area near the venue for the concert at the East Second Loop was filled with people. When Sheng Wens.h.i.+ and Ding Chengzhi boarded the helicopter that was temporarily sent here and went inside the venue, the entire football stadium was already fully filled with people. There didn't seem to be any empty seats left, and the football field at the bottom was filled with people too. From the looks of it, there seemed to be about fifty to sixty thousand people present.

"My G.o.d, this is really a big scene!" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ was amazed. "There must be at least fifty to sixty thousand people here, right? I really don't know if Min Feiyao will be able to hold the scene—how much money was spent on this?"

"That's hard to say. From the looks of it, this time, things will really get interesting." Ding Chengzhi shook his head, smiled and said, "I wonder who Min Feiyao's backer is. How much hatred does this person have for the Young Master to actually make such a big scene to pit against the Young Master? I reckon this person spent at least a few millions just to hire this many fans."

"Exactly. Sigh, Old Ding, how many of the fans here do you think were hired?" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ looked around him. "From their expressions, there must be at least twenty thousand or more. This person is really capable, being able to hire so many people."

"Hehe, that's right, these people must have cost quite a bit." Ding Chengzhi nodded. "They can deceive the eyes of an ordinary fan, but they can't fool us. The concert and 'I Am a Singer' that the Young Master hosted was really packed with fans. Instead of paying for people to attend, fans were willing to pay as much as it takes to be able to attend those concert and events. This is the difference between them…"

Hearing Ding Chengzhi words, Sheng Wens.h.i.+ thought for a while and then sighed. "The question is, at least for now, the impression is that this concert is really filled with people. Also, you saw the advertis.e.m.e.nt too, right? From what I know, they invested quite a lot of money for this concert. Do you see that hexagon screen on the stage? It was said that they overpaid the manufacturer to specially make this and enlarge it to allow all the fans to clearly see Miss Feiyao's face."

"Yup, I saw that advertis.e.m.e.nt too." Ding Chengzhi nodded. "Also, they said that the lighting used tonight is even more impressive than the car lightings that were used by the Young Master. I can't even imagine what it could be."

"Hehe, a normal person wouldn't be able to think of using sports cars for lighting." Sheng Wens.h.i.+ condescending said, "I reckon they are just throwing in money like crazy to make the effects look good, that's all. Rather than copying ideas from here and there, it would be better for them to spend their money normally."

Speaking up to this point, Sheng Wens.h.i.+ looked at his watch. "OK, the concert is about to start. Let's get ready and see what it will be like."

"Yup, I know."

8:00 PM sharp.

Min Feiyao's concert officially started.

Once Min Feiyao went on stage, the fans immediately started screaming. On stage, fireworks started flying once she started her performance. Practically every song was accompanied by more than a hundred dancers dancing around her, and the fireworks never stopped.

Min Feiyao sang at the top of her lungs and danced with all of her energy, continuously saying "I love you" to her fans, causing them to scream continuously. The entire concert was filled with one climax after the other.

Min Feiyao did indeed have the capability to be chosen by Ko Gohon and have large amounts of money invested on her.

"Old Ding, what do you think?" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ listened to a few songs and asked Ding Chengzhi. "This Min Feiyao does indeed have what it takes, it's no wonder that she dared to pit herself against Li Nianwei. From advertis.e.m.e.nts to Weibo and Tieba forum, she's beating down Li Nianwei in every aspect, and she is indeed quite capable."

"That's for sure. If she didn't have any capability, that boss of hers wouldn't have invested so much on her." Ding Chengzhi smiled. "Speaking of which, the few songs that she sang just now were not bad. What I am curious now is that her capability is indeed below that of Li Nianwei's. But with the way she is being packaged, I wonder how the Young Master will react."

Min Feiyao's skills were not bad in the first place, and that so much money was spent on advertising and promoting her, this concert was really comparable to those held by Hong Dali. Therefore, they were really curious about how Hong Dali would react to this.

"Currently, the Young Master's att.i.tude is very ambiguous." Sheng Wens.h.i.+ frowned and said, "In fact, I can't fathom how the Young Master will react at all. Obviously, just the Holographic Projection Technology alone isn't enough. The atmosphere of this concert has been fully heightened. If this continues, her popularity will definitely overtake Miss Nianwei's."

"You are right." Ding Chengzhi shook his head and helplessly said, "What is more troubling is that currently, there isn't any news that Miss Nianwei will be doing a concert again. From what I know, her next possible appearance will be for the third last stage for 'I Am a Singer,' and she will definitely not appear for the fourth last stage. Now, we can only hope that she will appear on stage for the third last stage. If she allows Min Feiyao to carry on and develop like this, it will become very troublesome for her in the future!"

"That's right." Sheng Wens.h.i.+ thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Oh right, Old Ding, do you have any news of which newcomer will appear in the third last stage? Will they be able to hold the stage?"

"To be honest, I am not sure either." Ding Chengzhi shook his head. "By chance, I heard Miss Nianwei say that the newcomer is called Hatsune Miku or something, but I have never heard of this name before. I don't know her."

"Hatsune Miku…" Sheng Wens.h.i.+ muttered, "Chuyin Weilai? What a weird name. She's from the future 1 ?"
