Chapter 55 Are these all legitimate fans?
Less than an hour after the opening ceremony ended.
The entertainment sections of major portal websites were flooded with news about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
After all, there weren't any other major news stories today.
A big-budget remake of a classic with an investment of 200 million yuan.
This in itself is quite a gimmick.
Of course, the production team also played a role in this, as they needed to generate buzz.
This gives the audience something to look forward to.
not to mention.
This remake has also brought something different to the table.
Almost all the news photos feature the same person.
Lin Yu.
The photo of her wearing a white robe embroidered with gold thread, a silver hair crown, and a white jade belt around her waist went viral on various platforms.
He stood in the center of the stage.
He has handsome features and a noble air.
He held a long sword in his hand.
He looked like an ancient nobleman who had stepped out of a painting.
The photo of him standing with Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi, in particular, spread throughout the entire internet.
In the photo, Lin Yu stands in the middle, with the lively and playful Huang Rong on his left and the gentle and elegant Mu Nianci on his right.
The three of them standing together created an incredibly harmonious scene.
Netizens were instantly outraged when they saw this photo.
"What an amazing couple! Even having two women on either side couldn't be more perfect!"
"I declare this to be the most visually appealing photo I've seen all year!"
Yang Kang: Although I am a villain, I am much more popular with women than Guo Jing.
"Hey upstairs, don't you think Brother Jing has any pride?"
Guo Jing: I have Huang Rong, that's enough. Yang Kang: I have two.
"Hahahaha, this is hilarious!"
But what truly shocked netizens was not Lin Yu's looks or his appearance.
It was the song he sang, "Who Have I Loved?"
Someone recorded the entire video on their phone during the opening ceremony and posted it on Weibo.
In just one hour, the number of views exceeded one million.
And this number is still growing rapidly.
quickly!
Some music bloggers have begun to conduct in-depth analysis of the video.
A blogger named "Music Microscope" posted a long Weibo post:
"I listened carefully to Lin Yu's rendition of 'Who Have I Loved' at the opening ceremony of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' several times, and to be honest, I was deeply moved."
"First of all, his pitch is extremely accurate. The melody of this song has a lot of ups and downs and many chromatic transitions. If you're not careful, you can easily go off-key. But Lin Yu was as steady as a rock throughout, and every note landed in the most comfortable position."
"Secondly, his breath control is outstanding. This song has many long phrases, requiring a continuous output of breath while maintaining volume. Lin Yu handled it very skillfully, being strong when necessary and weak when appropriate, with complete control."
"Finally, and most importantly, is his emotional expression. Lin Yu's version sings out a youthful, clear feeling, tinged with resentment and stubbornness."
"For Lin Yu to sing with such depth at the age of twenty, I can only say that he has a bright future ahead of him."
This Weibo post quickly garnered tens of thousands of reposts.
The comments section was even more lively.
"Professionals are just different. I just think it sounds good, but I can't quite put my finger on why."
"I see, no wonder I got goosebumps listening to that."
"Is Lin Yu trying to steal singers' jobs?"
"The best singer among actors, and the best actor among singers?"
Meanwhile, Lin Yu's sword dance video went viral online.
Some martial arts enthusiasts began analyzing Lin Yu's movements frame by frame.
A blogger named "Swordsmanship Enthusiast Afei" posted a video with the caption:
"I'm an amateur swordsman who has practiced for over ten years. Today, after seeing Lin Yu's sword dance at the opening ceremony, I couldn't help but analyze it."
"First look at his starting stance. His sword flourishes very smoothly, and his wrists are highly flexible. It's not the kind of movement that you just memorize, but rather that it has become muscle memory."
"Looking at his footwork, his movements are measured and his center of gravity is very stable, which shows that his lower body is very solid. This kind of basic skill cannot be achieved without one or two years of hard training."
"At the end, look at his finishing move; the tip of the sword is firmly suspended in mid-air without any wobbling. To be honest, many people who have practiced for several years cannot achieve this level of control."
"In summary, Lin Yu's sword-fighting skills are already top-notch among amateur enthusiasts, even surpassing some professional martial arts actors. It would take an average actor at least one to two years of practice to reach his level."
After the video was released, it quickly garnered over a million views.
After seeing the video, netizens expressed disbelief.
"One or two years? Lin Yu is only twenty-one years old. Does he have that much time to practice swordsmanship?"
"It's probably just talent; some people are just born to learn everything quickly."
"I don't believe it, it must be a stand-in!"
"Are you blind, upstairs? The camera is focused on her face the entire time, and you're telling me it's a body double?"
Is it really that hard to acknowledge someone's excellence?
Lin Yu's Weibo followers exploded in just one afternoon after the opening ceremony.
In the morning, he had over 300,000 followers.
By evening, the number had exceeded 600,000.
It increased by nearly 300,000.
This speed is something that even established actors, let alone newcomers, cannot achieve.
What's even more terrifying is that these fans are all active users; they are real people following the account, not purchased zombie fans.
Unlike some celebrities who claim to have tens of millions of fans, but only get a few hundred comments on their posts, their numbers are so inflated they could be used to raise fish.
Director Jiang Jiajun called Lin Yu and reminded him that he could take advantage of the buzz to post some updates about the opening ceremony and generate some buzz for the TV series.
Lin Yu certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
He opened his phone's photo album and found the photos that Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong had taken of him at the opening ceremony.
I chose three.
One photo shows him standing alone on the stage, his profile illuminated by sunlight, highlighting his distinct features and outstanding presence.
One photo is a candid shot of him wielding a sword, the long sword drawing an arc in the air, his clothes fluttering, looking incredibly handsome.
There's also a photo of Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi standing on either side of him.
All three of them smiled naturally, creating a warm and pleasing scene.
Lin Yu selected a photo and added a line of text:
"The character Yang Kang from 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is currently being filmed. Please give it your support!"
Click send.
The Weibo post garnered over two thousand comments in less than five minutes.
Even Lin Yu himself was a little surprised by this speed.
Is this the difference between live powder and zombie powder?
The comments section is as unserious as ever.
"My brother is so handsome! I could look at this outfit a hundred times!"
"I never knew my brother was so handsome, and he can not only sing but also fight!"
"The lady upstairs, please explain in detail what you mean by 'can fight'."
"It means exactly what it says, you're getting the wrong idea, aren't you?"
"I didn't mean anything by it; it's the person upstairs who misspoke."
"My brother is really good with words, and he's good with his hands too!"
"Lady upstairs, I suspect you're making a sexual innuendo, but I have no proof."
"You bunch of fake fans! My brother Lin Yu is a positive role model! I can vouch for him, his legwork is even more impressive!"
"Everyone upstairs has a fever, can we take them all to the hospital?"
"Exactly, ladies, dry! Dry! Stay dry!"
......
Lin Yu looked at these comments.
A moment of silence followed.
Are these all legitimate fans?
