Chapter 135 Lip Reading Master
"This was just a hobby, you liar—Pinocchio!"
The following afternoon, after listening to the first version of Yang Du's solo album, Tao Cheng pointed at Yang Du's nose and uttered a rare swear word.
"Hahaha," Yang Du explained with a laugh, "I wasn't lying. I was just doing it casually as a singer, and I didn't say the quality was bad. Besides, we still need three more songs, right?"
"There's no reasoning with someone like you who can write songs so easily." Tao Cheng paced around speechlessly. "Do you even know just how prolific you are?!"
Sometimes I really want to pry open Yang Du's head to see what's inside and whether he's different from a normal person.
As she spoke, she put her headphones back on: "No, I have to listen to it again."
Half an hour ago, when Tao Cheng finished an interview and came to Qiuniu Studio, she put on her headphones and heard the first song, "Life is Like Summer Flowers," and thought that this must be the album's first single.
Seize the initiative!
Then, she heard the second song, "The You of the Past".
Ok?
The two main singles are so close together, probably because the album's track order hasn't been adjusted yet.
It must be like this.
However, she soon didn't have time to think about whether it was a main song or not, because what awaited her next were "Birch Forest", "Rain All Night", "Sorrow", "Fireworks Fade Easily" and "Ordinary Road".
After listening to all seven songs, Tao Cheng was completely numb.
As a rising pop star, her aesthetic sense is naturally above average, and there is no doubt about the quality of these seven songs.
Any one of these songs, taken out of the box and given to any male singer in the industry, would be worthy of being promoted as a main single.
It could even be enough to propel a second-tier singer to the top tier, allowing them to reap the benefits for a lifetime.
If these seven songs were made into a playlist, the title would probably be something like "One Person, One Hit Song" series.
Now, Yang Du has actually put them all on the same album and casually called it a hobby?
Is this even human language?
If this kind of quality is considered a hobby, then other producers in the music industry might as well just quit.
"Junior, tell me honestly, when you made 'Swallowtail Butterfly' for me, did you not put in your full effort at all?"
""
Tao Cheng was utterly blown away by the tracks on Yang Du's solo album at Qiuniu Studio, and the online discussion continues.
A night has passed since the Golden Chart Music Awards ceremony, and the popularity of the hashtag #TaoChengLittleQueen# has gradually declined.
After a night of revelry, celebration, boasting, and online arguments, Tao Cheng's fans, the "Oranges," began to enter a state of blissful sagehood.
I've been living such a happy life since the release of "Swallowtail Butterfly".
Now, everyone agrees on one fact: the landscape of female singers in the Chinese music scene has officially become four major and four minor singers.
When their idols do well, the fans feel proud.
Netizens' excitement threshold has dropped and returned to normal, but marketing accounts are not so easy to calm down.
If we don't take advantage of this wave of popularity to boost our KPIs, wouldn't the name "marketing account" be meaningless?
While there's still room to exploit the buzz surrounding Tao Cheng's rise to stardom, the internet is currently flooded with similar topics and traffic is too fragmented, making finding alternative paths the preferred option.
As a result, some busybodies turned their attention to Yang Du, the man behind Tao Cheng.
This is a genius producer who made Tao Cheng a rising star right after her debut.
Some marketing accounts have analyzed that Yang Du has many labels worth exploring.
21 years old, a senior student at Beijing Conservatory of Music, less than a year into her career, the youngest winner of the Feitian Award in history, a blogger of emotional literature, and a genius producer.
Any one of these labels can be taken out of context and used to write various reports from a unique perspective.
In the operational logic of marketing accounts, when a person, especially a public figure, has more than three labels, they have the value to be explored in depth.
Moreover, Yang Du now has as many as six labels on him!
He's a goldmine of online traffic, a true hidden gem!
Soon, some cunning marketing accounts created a clip of Yang Du's special segment from the Golden Chart Music Awards and uploaded it to short video platforms, along with the caption:
Guess what Yang Du and Tao Cheng said to each other when the Best Female Pop Singer award was presented?
As soon as the slice was released, its popularity skyrocketed.
[Judging from the lip movements, there are quite a few words. Waiting for a lip-reading expert to answer.]
[Is there even a need to guess? Of course, it's the producer comforting the singer, telling Tao Cheng not to be nervous or something, right?]
However, this speculation was quickly overturned when sharp-eyed netizens discovered a detail that had been overlooked by everyone.
[It's definitely not just comforting; notice the changes in Tao Cheng's expression in the video clips—it's quite different from what we initially thought.]
Look closely at [Picture 1]. At first, I thought she was stunned because she heard her own name, right?
But if you zoom in frame by frame, you'll find that it was Yang Du who spoke first, and Tao Cheng then showed a look of utter disbelief [Figure 2].
Then, a second later, Du Li called out her name, and Tao Cheng's expression turned joyful.
"Damn, now that you mention it, it's true, the timing doesn't match up."
"Hmm—is it possible that it's a problem with the speed of sound?"
"After careful consideration, it's true that Tao Cheng's surprise was purely due to Yang Du's words, and she only became happy after hearing her own name."
—"Yes, I noticed it a long time ago. Tao Cheng punched Yang Du in the chest before receiving the award. It's hard not to think about it."
"Holy crap, this is shocking! For a rising star about to win Best Female Pop Singer, to make that expression at such a crucial moment, what outrageous things did Yang Du just say?"
Please, what exactly did they say? I need an expert to help.
As things progressed, things started to get interesting, with more and more netizens joining the discussion and searching for clues, naturally causing the video's popularity to soar.
If you're talking about award ceremonies, celebrities, or albums, only people who frequent fan circles might be interested. But if you're talking about Yang Du making suggestive remarks in front of the camera at the Golden Music Awards ceremony, then all sorts of resourceful netizens will really have to investigate this thoroughly.
[The world is truly going to the dogs! Let me give you a good critique, @The Romantic Minister of Justice]
I smell a melon.
[Look closely at the lip movements; it seems like they were talking about an album at the beginning?]
—"Album? What album? Didn't you win Best Pop Female Artist?"
"Yes, I've watched it several times. It's definitely an album, and it looks like mine?"
"That can't be right."
Seeking expert help.
I'm waiting online for an answer, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.
The incident escalated for nearly two hours before a netizen with the ID "风流大理寺卿" (Fengliu Dali Siqing) stepped in and gradually reconstructed the events of that time.
After repeated comparisons and studies, the complete content that Yang Du said to Tao Cheng at the time was: "I'm planning to release an album for myself. I've basically figured out the concept and the framework of the title track. Would you be interested in listening to it?"
—"???"
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!"
