Chapter 375 Meeting Everyone's Expectations

Jiang Yuan, who had just started to enjoy his summer vacation, has recently become a small sensation on the Internet, and in the process, he has gained a lot of "pain" from his fans.

The reason for the sensation was naturally that the classmates who attended the dinner party that day filmed the part where Jiang Yuan was singing in the KTV and then uploaded it to the Internet. Videos about her appeared on both Bilibili and Douyin short video platforms.

As a result, those fans who already liked to listen to Jiang Yuan's singing were so surprised when they saw these videos, and they began to spread them spontaneously.

Songs related to graduation and separation always make people feel inexplicably sad and melancholy, which is why she gained some "pain value" again.

Many passers-by who have no in-depth understanding of Jiang Yuan saw these popular cover videos. Their first impression was that this girl's covers of songs such as "The Crossroad Where the Phoenix Flowers Bloom" and "Memorial" were really nice to listen to, and the emotions were very well-placed, which made them change their stereotypes about her in the field of singing.

The so-called stereotype refers to the fact that Jiang Yuan unexpectedly became popular on the Internet by covering those sweet little songs, which made people feel very happy and want to fall in love on the spot. So many people thought that she was only good at singing this type of songs.

It is obvious that these people have not even learned about Jiang Yuan's "original songs". The song "Only" is obviously very lyrical and sad, and it is quite popular, but it is obvious that many people do not associate this song with Jiang Yuan himself.

Maybe this is because Jiang Yuan’s appearance is also very deceptive. People think that she should be a sweet girl with energy who is best at singing sweet songs. How can such a girl be good at singing emo, sad and melancholy songs?
But the facts prove that not only can she sing, but she can also sing in a very unique way. Even her posture while singing is so pitiful and lovable.

In the videos that Jiang Yuan was filmed and uploaded, some people took pictures of her perfect side profile. When she was singing passionately, her eyes seemed to be sparkling with crystal tears, and the atmosphere was suddenly filled with vitality. The audiences who watched these videos and listened to her singing carefully seemed to be pulled into the musical world she created. The infectiousness of that voice was really amazing!

Some die-hard fans praise Jiang Yuan for this point, believing that as a talented and spiritual singer, her most amazing thing is not her singing skills, but her unique ability to empathize. Whether she sings sweet songs or sad songs, she can perfectly convey the emotions to the audience...

Therefore, when listening to her singing sweet songs and seeing her lovely smile with her white teeth showing, the listeners will unconsciously smile, as if they are in a pink bubble. And when listening to her singing those sad songs and seeing her depressed look and the mist rising from her eyes, the listeners will also feel sad and fall into negative and low emotions.

This unique empathy ability is obviously very valuable for singers. Professionals would probably use the term "singing quotient" to describe singers' abilities in this regard. Only singers with high singing quotient can be extremely delicate when dealing with the emotions that certain songs want to express.

Some singers are the kind who obviously have great singing skills and can handle any song, no matter how difficult it is, but the songs they sing just don't touch people's hearts. This is obviously because they lack empathy and they just sing the song mechanically.

In fact, Jiang Yuan herself didn’t pay any attention to the empathy of any song. She just naturally “played” the songs she had already mastered, treating herself as a CD player. However, with the blessing of that awesome term “heavenly voice”, her singing automatically had the ability to touch the hearts of the audience. Therefore, this was not her so-called “high singing quotient”, but the plug-in was really too powerful.

However, the audience obviously didn't know that she was a hacker, so they naturally praised her for her spiritual singing, strong empathy, and explosive talent...

However, although her graduation season series of songs that were circulated on the Internet became popular this time, their popularity was obviously not as high as her previous "sweet song special".

There are probably two main reasons. First, most listeners are not masochists. Songs that can make them feel happy are of course more popular than songs that make them feel depressed. Probably only dead literary youths would insist on finding songs that make them feel emo.

The graduation and farewell songs sung by Jiang Yuan this time evoked the nostalgia of many sentimental people, especially those listeners who have graduated and left the campus long ago. They naturally thought of their lost youth and perhaps also of the day of parting.

The video that resonated with the audience the most was probably the one where everyone sang "Goodbye" together in a KTV. This time period happened to be graduation season, and the magic of the song "Goodbye" is that it really is the type of song that sounds lively and cheerful, but actually becomes more and more uncomfortable the more you listen to it. It's a classic method of using music to set off sadness.

Anyway, some people who just graduated from high school or college, after seeing this video and hearing this chorus, couldn’t hold back their emotions for a moment and felt an inexplicable melancholy. In the comment section of the video, there was a message like this:

"It's great. The chorus is very infectious. The more I listen, the more I feel it."

"I saw this video not long after I graduated. I burst into tears after listening to it..."

"I suddenly felt very regretful that we didn't have this kind of activity when we graduated. We can only remember it through other people's videos."

"People still need a sense of ritual in life. Inexplicably, I thought of a saying: every day that you don't dance is a waste of life."

"I can't promise you whether I will come back or not... Actually, the reality is that I will never come back. From the moment of graduation, even after many years, my former classmates will have nothing left in my life except for sporadic memories."...

The style of the comment section is very similar to the previously popular "Net Depression Music" meme, but it is obvious that many listeners are just expressing their feelings.

The feeling of not having such memories when I graduated is so real. But at that time, I didn't take it seriously. Even when someone called for such an event, I was too lazy to participate. I graduated and had a holiday. It was the best thing to go home and have fun. Isn't it a waste of time and money to do so many things? Besides, it was so hot in the summer. I took a walk.

So now when I see videos like this, I suddenly feel like I have encountered a boomerang. Some time points are missed once you miss them.

It is the same with some important people in our lives. The meaning of their existence seems to be to make people miss them and regret them.

Another reason why the video is not as popular as the "Sweet Song Special" video series is that the video mostly shoots long shots, and does not take close-up shots of Jiang Yuan. In that environment and under that situation, no one dared to take a mobile phone to get close to Jiang Yuan and shoot recklessly.

So although Jiang Yuan's appearance is still impeccable in the long-distance shooting, and she is completely unique, it is ultimately impossible to be like the previous series of videos, where the audience can enjoy the sweet songs of the energetic beautiful girl and her beauty, and enjoy the audio-visual enjoyment to the fullest...

However, this series of videos also has its advantages, that is, the sound equipment and other equipment are better, and the auditory senses are more vivid. Although it still cannot be compared with listening to the live performance, it can indeed be said to be unforgettable.

After this series of videos became a hit, Jiang Yuan's most loyal core fans seemed to be aroused and hoped that she would release some well-produced singles, preferably original songs.

Music fans think that since you, Miss Jiang Yuan Jiang, have this creative talent and your family is not short of money or resources, you should release more new songs. If other young ladies were at your level, they would have taken action long ago, and they would also have to keep up with marketing hype. After all, traffic is king these days, and even good wine needs no bush!

Like the original songs released before, the quality is obviously good, but the result is that “the song is popular but the singer is not”, which is really wrong!

The core music fans are so anxious. Although they also know very well that the reason why Jiang Yuan’s songs are popular but she is not is that she is not a full-time entertainer. She is still a student. It is impossible for her to perform everywhere after a song becomes popular. She also has no time to go on TV chart shows or anything like that. She has not even been interviewed by radio stations. How can the popularity of the songs benefit the singer herself?

In addition, Jiang Yuan herself is obviously very Buddhist in her singing career. She does not have a systematic plan at all. She does things here and there and relies entirely on her hard work. This style has enabled her to gain such fame, which is actually very impressive. Sometimes, because she is so good in other fields, many people even forget that she is also a singing talent whose level is comparable to that of a professional singer.

Music fans also think that it’s summer vacation now, so you must have a lot of free time. Wouldn’t it be perfect to use it to write and release songs? Stop playing around and focus on your career!
Don’t blame us for “urging us to update” the song. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for arousing our “desire”. In order for us to vent our desire, Miss Jiang must come and satisfy us personally!
As mentioned before, Jiang Yuan's fans have also formed a fan circle, so of course there are various fan groups and support clubs, and some of them are very childish, where everyone's nickname has to have a fixed format, and then at certain times they all listen to orders together to organize anti-black activities, control comments, and like posts.

Such collective action can create a kind of "prosperous and peaceful era", which makes it very convenient to whitewash others. For example, if Jiang Yuan accidentally loses a game in a professional table tennis tournament, her fans will immediately find various excuses for her, such as she has a cold or her period just happened to come. In short, she cannot lose because of bad playing or lack of strength!
Because the idols worshipped by fans in fan circles must be perfect in some aspects and as inviolable as gods, they will brainwash themselves.

This is also why the more fans an idol has, the more likely they are to become an unworthy "shock wave" or "king of bullying". They can't fight hard at critical moments, but they will be praised for beating the weak in the regular season. It's mainly because the famous scenes of bullying are really entertaining...

In this way, as long as the team can increase their intensity by beating weak opponents and improve their rank, and then combine it with overwhelming marketing, the casual fans who don't understand sports at all will naturally be easily attracted to the team. It doesn't matter if the team performs poorly at critical moments, because time can wash away everything, and the team can continue to beat weak opponents and continue to wrap the fans in the information cocoon.

Jiang Yuan's fans even contacted her fans circle, hoping that these fans would urge her to update her songs more often in the group and create and release new songs during the summer vacation.

The fans thought that these fans would definitely support their demands, but what they didn’t expect was that the fans didn’t take them seriously at all, and even directly retorted, saying that our eldest daughter works so hard every day, so can’t she have a good rest during the summer vacation?

Write songs? Why do I need to write songs? That's just my eldest daughter's hobby. It's fine to write casually when inspiration strikes, but how can I force myself to write just because you guys "urge me to update more"? You should put yourself in the right place. Do you really think you are God?
Obviously, as the "filial sons and grandchildren" of idols, die-hard fans will never force idols to meet their needs. On the contrary, they should unconditionally give their time, energy and money to idols. This is the norm in "animal husbandry."

Those fans who simply like to listen to Jiang Yuan's singing obviously cannot understand this kind of fan circle whose brain is completely broken and only has "belief". They see that they can't convey their demands to Jiang Yuan through channels such as fan groups and fan clubs, so they can only use channels such as Weibo private messages and Douyin private messages. Then they also go to the comment areas of various videos where Jiang Yuan appears to "urge for more"...

In addition, in the process of being humiliated, they also discovered that the only thing that can deal with "magic" is "magic", so they also set up their own fan group, and directly stated that fans in the fan circle should get out, and only pure music fans who like to listen to songs are welcome to the group. If one day they can invite Jiang Yuan, the real owner, to join the group, then they will be truly successful.

The fans' urging for more songs was of course noticed by Jiang Yuan, who had plenty of time to surf the Internet every day after the holidays. The previous graduation season series of songs also made her taste some sweetness, so why didn't she pamper her fans and make a sadder and more depressing song to meet everyone's expectations?
