Chapter 54 The Seniors Take Action, and the Situation Changes Again
Lin Zixuan has a complete plan for this crisis public relations.
His goal was definitely not just to reverse public opinion.
He also wants to take this opportunity to truly make a name for himself, establish his image as a musical prodigy, and solidify his position in the music industry.
To achieve this, simply engaging in verbal sparring with Laying and the forces behind him in the media is not enough.
He plans to capitalize on this momentum to release a major, influential work.
This work should not only be artistic or innovative, but also contain Chinese cultural elements, be widely sung, and ideally be full of positive energy or politically correct.
Creating a song like this is very difficult; even music masters may not be able to produce such a work in their entire lives.
But he was different; he had returned from the future, and he had many songs in his mind that met these requirements.
For example, works such as "Chinese Language", "Proud Youth", "Blue and White Porcelain", "The Wind Rises", "The Lone Warrior", "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth", and "The Sea of Stars" are all very suitable for the requirements.
After much deliberation, he finally chose "Chinese Language".
Given his experience, it would be too shocking and untenable for him to write songs like "Blue and White Porcelain" or "The Sea of Stars."
On the contrary, when he presents "Chinese Language," no one questions him at all.
Another key point is that it is now 2006, the country's economy is developing rapidly, its strength is constantly increasing, and the Olympic Games will be held the following year. There is an atmosphere throughout the country that urgently needs to gain international recognition.
Bringing up the song "Chinese" at this time is inherently politically correct.
Moreover, due to the song's special political nature, even if Laying and the record company wanted to nitpick and criticize it, they would have to think twice before releasing it.
It's possible that even state media will praise it, and it's not impossible that it could even be selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
It is important to know that since 2004, in order to promote Chinese language and spread Chinese culture, the country has started to establish Confucius Institutes overseas. To date, five Confucius Institutes have been established overseas, spread across every continent.
The release of the song "Chinese Language" now perfectly aligns with the country's grand strategy and will naturally receive official recognition and affirmation.
If I could be selected for the Spring Festival Gala, the attention and buzz would be incredibly exciting.
The song "Chinese" is not difficult to sing, given Lin Zixuan's current singing skills and the top-notch recording environment of Baihua Recording Studio.
In less than a day, at 5 p.m., the song was perfectly recorded and the finished product was obtained.
Of course, the recording fee was also high, costing him a full 5 yuan.
While he was wholeheartedly dedicated to recording "Chinese" at Baihua Recording Studio.
Under La Ying's constant urging, Taihe Wheatfield finally came up with a solution.
Because two articles by Sina Entertainment quoted Premier Zhou Enlai's speech in one article and Chairman Mao's speech in the other.
In addition, the performance data of Lin Zixuan's three songs can be easily found online, which is so damaging that no one dares to refute it.
They had no choice but to find another way, framing La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan as normal concern and criticism from a senior artist towards a new singer.
Of course, we can't let Laying say these things herself, so we'll just get a bunch of influential music industry veterans and seniors to say them.
With Taihe Rye Music and La Ying's connections, it would be easy to find some friends in the music industry to help.
Soon, under the arrangement of Taihe Rye Music, more than 10 top-tier singers with significant influence in the Chinese music scene arrived that afternoon.
The musicians accepted interviews from reporters.
Gao Xiaosong: "These past two days, the internet has been in an uproar. First, the media exposed La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan, which sparked heated discussions. Then, it triggered a fierce counterattack from Lin Zixuan, which caused a very bad impact."
In my opinion, La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan was actually a normal critique from a senior singer to a newcomer's work. It was the media that overhyped it, and Lin Zixuan's reaction was also excessive.
I think everyone should calm down, try to understand and be tolerant of each other.
Sun Nan: "I think Sister La is a very good friend. She is upright and speaks directly. Her criticism of Lin Zixuan was definitely not malicious as reported in the media. It was well-intentioned guidance. Lin Zixuan didn't need to react so strongly."
I think we can all sit down and communicate together.
Wang Piku: "Based on my understanding of Laying, her original intention was definitely not to criticize Lin Zixuan maliciously. It's just that she is too straightforward and outspoken, and the inappropriate interpretation by the media caused the misunderstanding. I urge both parties to calm down and resolve the issue through communication."
. . . . .
Yang Sanshierlang's statement was the most shameless: "I think La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan was out of the love and support of a senior in the music industry for a newcomer. It was Lin Zixuan who overreacted."
As a newcomer to the music scene, I think it's best to be humble. If there's criticism from seniors, we should correct it if it's true, and take it as encouragement if it's not. Why make such a big deal out of it? It's having a very negative impact.
These comments were quickly published on major news websites on the Internet and then rapidly forwarded to all forums on the Internet.
Immediately following this, Taihe Rye Music deployed its online army.
They speak out all over the internet, expressing two viewpoints:
One argument is that "La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan is a normal criticism from a senior singer to a newcomer, and it is well-intentioned criticism."
Another viewpoint is that "Lin Zixuan's reaction was too intense; as a newcomer, she lacked respect for her seniors."
Laying's fans also stepped in at the opportune moment. They had been holding back for a while, but the article was too damaging, and the official response was not good, so they were powerless to launch an attack.
But things are different now. With so many veteran singers stepping forward, they naturally stand up to support their idols immediately.
Of course, many discerning people saw that someone was trying to whitewash Laying, and Lin Zixuan's fans were even more opposed to it, leading to another online battle between the two sides.
This time, however, it wasn't a one-sided criticism of Laying and praise of Lam Tsz-hin; instead, the two sides were exchanging blows.
They even gained a slight advantage because Taihe Rye Music spent a lot of money hiring online trolls, and with La Ying's huge fan base.
This makes it difficult for many people who are unaware of the truth to waver when they see so many big names and seniors in the music industry speaking up for Laying, and when they see the heated debate on both sides online.
I feel like what they said makes some sense. La Ying doesn't seem so bad after all. Is Lin Zixuan too young and impetuous? Is his reaction too intense?
In the evening, more print media outlets joined this traffic-generating frenzy, also divided into two camps: one supporting Lin Zixuan and the other supporting La Ying.
Because of the high traffic and popularity, viewers love watching, and sales have increased significantly.
By evening, La Ying's negative image on the internet had greatly improved. Although many people were still dissatisfied with La Ying, many others were indeed influenced by the narrative and believed that La Ying's criticism of Lin Zixuan was unintentional or well-intentioned.
Many people even think that Lin Zixuan overreacted, that the young man was too arrogant and couldn't handle any criticism.
It can be said that Taihe Rye Music's public relations strategy has begun to show results.
Laying even opened a glass of red wine with her agent at the villa to celebrate in advance.
