Chapter 52 If you don't like it, who do you think you are?
As a pop diva, Laying's influence is indeed extraordinary.
Since the morning when the Beijing Music News first reported La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan.
Within three hours, major news outlets across the internet had reposted this news.
There were many comments on various forums, but the vast majority of them followed La Ying's lead in criticizing Lin Zixuan.
This is normal. At that time, the personal internet had not yet arrived, and the general public tended to blindly believe in authority. This was the era when public intellectuals were most active.
Even Lin Zixuan's home turf, Sina Blog and Baidu Tieba's Xuanyuan Bar, were flooded with a large number of haters who criticized Lin Zixuan in various ways.
Of course, his fans were not willing to accept this either. They could not control other places, but their home base would never allow the haters to run rampant. They immediately broke out in a big battle with the haters, turning it into a battlefield where fans hurled insults and lashed out at each other.
Suddenly, traffic to Xuanyuan Bar on Sina Blog and Baidu Tieba surged, and the number of fans skyrocketed, gaining more than 5 fans in less than half a day.
Previously, both places only had a little over 15 fans, but in less than half a day, they both exceeded 20. However, the vast majority of the new fans were haters.
After all, it was Lin Zixuan's fan base, so naturally the fans had the upper hand at first, defeating the haters one after another.
But as time went on, the number of haters increased, and their influence grew. The online battles and insults between the two sides gradually became less one-sided, and the war of words began to escalate.
Lin Zixuan was also surprised to find that with the widespread media coverage of him, there was an overwhelming amount of criticism directed at him online.
His popularity was soaring rapidly. Normally, his popularity would increase by about 1 per day, but today, just after noon, his popularity had already surged to more than 3.
Unexpectedly, there's a pleasant surprise here. It's true that even negative publicity can be beneficial. It seems that whether it's praise or criticism, it's all just the emotions that the general public has towards him, and it's all useful for the Hehuan Asks for Immortal Techniques.
With this discovery, he displayed extraordinary prowess in his subsequent battle with Miss Hu Yanyan.
Of course, Ms. Hu Yanyan's physical strength is limited.
However, the young lady was already extremely satisfied.
Anyway, when Hu Yanyan left, she was beaming and full of fighting spirit, like a fighter jet that was fully fueled and ready to take off.
Before leaving, she confidently reassured Lin Zixuan that he could look forward to seeing her results the next morning.
By evening, various print media outlets began reprinting La Ying's article criticizing Lam Tsz-hin, joining the frenzy of online traffic.
The online discussion escalated further, and for a time, Lin Zixuan became almost synonymous with low-brow music and peasant singers on the internet.
On Sina Blog and Baidu Tieba's Xuanyuan Bar, due to the rapid increase in the number of haters, the momentum of the haters has also increased significantly, and the war of words has further escalated. The situation is no longer one-sided, but has begun to become a back-and-forth battle.
Even his parents, who lived far away in Jiangxi, were alarmed and called to inquire about the situation with concern.
Fortunately, when Lin Zixuan answered the phone, she had already broken up with Hu Yanyan. It took Lin Zixuan a lot of effort to comfort her parents, telling them that she was actively dealing with the situation and asking them to pay attention to tomorrow's news.
Xu Qing called him that evening to ask about the progress of his work and whether he needed any help.
He didn't hide anything from Xu Qing and told her his strategy in detail, which earned him great praise from the older sister.
At midnight, before beginning his cultivation, Lin Zixuan glanced at the panel in his sea of consciousness:
Name: Lin Zixuan Age: 21 (123)
人气：133851
Cultivation level: 37/100 (Qi Refining)
In an unprecedented day, the number of views increased to more than 13. This growth rate is simply incredible. You should know that even a top star like Xu Qing only gains a little over 6 views a day when there are no new works released or any hype events.
From this perspective, Laying is actually a good person, giving herself so much attention and popularity for free.
Of course, he would not hesitate or hold back in responding to her counterattack.

. . . . . .
The next morning at 6 a.m., viewers of Sina News were surprised to find that Sina Entertainment's headline was: "If the people like it, and you don't, who do you think you are? Musical talent Lin Zixuan loudly says no to pop diva La Ying."
Wow, that's shocking! Is Lin Zixuan really that tough? Viewers got excited when they saw the title and clicked on it immediately to see how Lin Zixuan would say no.
Yesterday, pop diva La Ying made a rare and harsh criticism of newcomer Lin Zixuan, criticizing him for lacking musical taste, calling his songs "pop songs" as tasteless, lacking humanistic concern, and lacking artistic value, unfit for highbrow taste, and only suitable for migrant workers.
This has attracted extensive media coverage and sparked heated discussions on the internet.
In response to this situation, our reporter interviewed Lin Zixuan, the other party involved in the incident.
He showed me a set of data:
"Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness"—these three songs, released in April, have garnered a combined 1.9 million plays on five major music platforms in just six months, with over 2600 million song downloads and even more than 800 million ringtone downloads.
Many people don't understand what this data represents, so let me explain it to you:
The hottest song of the year, "Invisible Wings," has garnered a total of 110 million plays, 12 million downloads, and 2.2 million ringtone downloads across five major music platforms since its release in January.
The second most popular song, "Far Away," has accumulated 90 million plays across five major music platforms since its release in March, with a total of 11 million downloads and 1.6 million ringtone downloads.
From these data, you can see how popular Lin Zixuan's three songs, "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness," are.
In response to La Ying’s harsh criticism, Lin Zixuan said: “In 1961, Premier Zhou gave a very insightful speech at the Symposium on Literature and Art and the Conference on Feature Film Creation. In it, he criticized Wen Huabu, the deputy director of the department.”
He said: When Wen Huabu, a deputy commander, came to Sichuan, he said that Sichuan Opera was backward. At that time, a comrade on the scene replied: Whether it is backward or not should be answered and decided by the 70 million people of Sichuan.
I think this comrade is very brave and gave a very good answer. The people like it. If you don't like it, who do you think you are?
Our words are unreliable. Everyone has their own preferences, and how can the opinions of a few individuals be taken as the standard?
Art should be evaluated by the people; as long as the people like it, it has value.
Here, I would also like to share Premier Zhou's words with La Ying: "Art is judged by the people. As long as the people like it, it has value. My songs are loved by the vast majority of the people. If you don't like them, who do you think you are?"
"Wow, this is so popular! Lin Zixuan is really something, daring to confront La Ying like that. But I like him, I'm going to be a fan."
"Lin Zixuan makes a lot of sense. Why should La Ying be able to completely reject songs that everyone likes?"
"So the Premier criticized this situation as early as 61. It's lamentable that even now, some people still consider themselves authorities and ignore it..."
"The people's preferences lead to arbitrary and wanton criticism of others."
"Damn, Lin Zixuan is absolutely right. So the clown is actually La Ying. I love it. No doubt about it, I have to spread the word on the forum."
The audience was stunned by Lin Zixuan's boldness and courage. However, the article was well-reasoned, with detailed data, and even quoted the words of the former Premier. More importantly, it was surprisingly consistent with the current situation.
After reading it, the vast majority of people's stances quietly changed, with radicals starting to condemn Laying on the internet.
