Unsurprisingly, photos of Xu Xiao and Qi Qiao visiting Qiuniu Studio were taken and quickly appeared online.
First, Tao Cheng became a pop diva at the Golden Music Awards, then there were rumors about Yang Du's solo album, and now the pop diva herself has personally visited her, seemingly to collaborate on a single.
One wave subsides only for another to rise, with wave after wave, and unsurprisingly, the hype exploded.
Could they be planning to collaborate on a single? Xu Xiao has been holding a grudge ever since the collaboration on "Painting Heart" didn't work out.

"No, don't they have a grudge? I remember Xu Xiao called them out on Weibo last year."
—"Yes, yes, I remember that. They said the producer was unprofessional."
"Honey, that's not true. We just had a difference in musical ideas. That message on Weibo was just something I said in a fit of anger, so I deleted it immediately after posting it."
"That's right. Last year, when Yang Du was attacked by Professor Jiang and his group, it was Xiaoxiao who publicly supported him on Weibo. The two have no grudges against each other. Don't believe the rumors, honey."
[A double delight for the chefs!]
[This collaboration, which was half a year late, has finally arrived after much anticipation.]
[But isn't Yang Du making his own album? How come he's collaborating with Xu Xiao now? Does he have three heads and six arms? (laughing and crying)]
"What the hell? Three heads and six arms? Qiuniu Studio really does only have three heads and six arms right now, hahaha."
"Hilarious, but it looks like a makeshift operation, but Qiuniu Studio made an album called 'Swallowtail Butterfly' for Tao Cheng. Respect."
"Swallowtail Butterfly" has accumulated 810 million sales in six weeks since its release, and is on track for triple platinum status. Some media outlets predict that it will soon reach 1000 million sales, and the effects of the Golden Chart Music Awards are only just beginning to take hold.
Besides, there's also the Golden Bell Awards in March.
[No, I don't understand. What are you all so excited about? Albums, singles, collaborations—aren't these all just rumors? Let's be rational and wait for the official announcement. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.]
Previously, a marketing account that posted "Guess what Yang Du and Tao Cheng said when the Best Pop Female Singer award was presented" on a short video platform had a sudden inspiration and hit it off with an industry insider to write an article, continuing to beautifully rake in traffic.
The article states: "Regarding the visit of pop star Xu Xiao to Qiuniu Studio, most people only focus on the excitement that the two may finally be working together, and few people analyze in depth what this means."
Before answering this question, you might want to take a look at Yang Du's resume.
You will find that there is an extremely unusual gap in his career.
Generally speaking, a novice music producer usually starts by working as an assistant, then mentors newcomers, produces a few small hits, and then begins to work with third-tier and second-tier singers, gradually building up connections and reputation.
Only after enduring several years and achieving success can one be qualified to establish cooperative relationships with top-tier singers, and finally, access to top-level resources at the level of rising stars.
In contrast, the biggest star Yang Du has ever worked with is, at most, the rising star Tuya, and that was a special case.
However, in his first album production, he unreasonably promoted the first post-00s pop diva in the Chinese music scene.
In other words, Yang Du skipped all the intermediate steps and directly reached the level of a rising star.
Therefore, the core significance of Xu Xiao's visit to Qiuniu Studio is not that the two finally reached a cooperation agreement, but that Yang Du not only has the ability to send a rising female singer to the position of a pop diva, but also to make those who are already on the throne of pop diva believe that his potential is far greater than that!
By catching Yang Du's boat, even a rising star can go further and climb to the next peak!
This is the most important thing hidden behind this incident.
[It's getting exciting!]
"Damn, now that you mention it, it's true. He does seem to have the air of a learned scholar."
No, you've given me a long and detailed analysis that got me all fired up, but we still don't know if it's true or not (slams face)
Some netizens angrily tagged several paparazzi marketing accounts that are known for breaking news and digging up scoops, leaving comments saying, "What use are you? You can't even find out this little thing. Do you still want to be paparazzi?"
The paparazzi also felt wronged.
Is it that they don't want to expose the truth?
It's impossible to get interviewed at all.
Yang Du doesn't seem like a normal, popular male star in his twenties at all; he doesn't seem to have any social activities.
When I was making albums for Tao Cheng, at least I could occasionally take pictures of him entering and leaving the Jinshi Recording Studio, and I had a few photos to show for it.
Now I live a completely secluded life between my apartment and studio, embodying self-discipline.
Sometimes, even a few paparazzi couldn't help but wonder: Yang Du is so fond of writing about love, so he should be going deep into the masses and into life to gather material, right? How does he manage to have money and free time while still living such a regular life?
This completely contradicts the national policy of promoting consumption.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off, and a few days later, the paparazzi finally seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
On January 15, the Music Association held its annual year-end summary meeting.
Normally, as a newly joined member, Yang Du wouldn't have needed to attend such a conference. However, he was recently named an Outstanding Young Musician of the Year and is also a winner of the Feitian Award, so he obviously couldn't be absent without a reason.
So when Yang Du got out of the car at the entrance of the Music Association, he was surrounded by paparazzi who had been waiting for a long time.
"Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang, may I ask you—"
Yang Du glanced at his phone; there were still 30 minutes before the meeting started. He then said, "I'm in a hurry, so you don't need to ask one by one. I'll get straight to the point."
"First, I do have a solo album project, which is currently in preparation. The concept, lyrics, and music are all finalized, and the production and arrangement are underway. The studio recording time is still uncertain; please refer to the studio's announcement for details."
"Secondly, yes, I will be collaborating with Ms. Xu Xiao soon, since we missed out last time. Regarding the single's name, style,..."
Details such as the release date are trade secrets and will be officially announced by Ms. Xu Xiao's team in a few days. I personally cannot disclose any details at this time.
"I know I've already told everyone. I'm going to a meeting now, please make way. I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance! May everything go well for you. Thank you, bye-bye!"
Yang Du clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, walked through the crowd, and disappeared in a flash.
The remaining group of reporters, holding microphones and recorders, stood bewildered in the wind, looking at each other in confusion.
"Well----"
This guy is really nice — what a load of rubbish.
No, who would just spill everything out like that? That would make us look very unprofessional, wouldn't it?
Moreover, half the fun of being an entertainment reporter lies in digging up scoops and uncovering news, which brings a sense of accomplishment.
Information obtained without being asked questions has no soul!
