Making idols: With $20 million, girls send brother off on his debut

2021, the talent show "in the history books" of the year.

The official media named "pouring milk to beat the cast", "youth have you 3" scribbling finale, "Asia super star group" stop recording, radio and television strictly prohibit talent show set up to spend money to buy the vote link, to referendum as the core logic of the talent show seems to have come to an end.

From June 15, the Internet Information Office opened a two-month "clear - 'rice circle' chaos rectification" special action, the rice circle tearing each other stranglehold, should support the list of behavior as a target.

As Youth With You 3 goes off the air, People talked to some of the girls in the rice circle who were involved in the voting process for the idol. In fact, these girls, who seem fanatical and brain-dead to the outside world, have long realized that the so-called voting to decide the idol's debut is just a platform and capital **** plot.

They paid sincere emotions, huge sums of money, but was wrapped into an invisible cage.

This year's 24-year-old Fei Fei did not expect, her first real feelings to the idol to play casting, did not wait until the final, the idol "disappeared". 5 May 5, "youth have you 3" announced the suspension of the program recording.

In the half-month since then, Fifi's favorite contestants have disappeared from the public eye, with no public schedule and no voice on social media. The thing stems from a video of "pouring milk". In the video, a group of people sitting around the ditch, while tearing open the milk packaging, while pouring a bucket of milk into the ditch.

After the video was circulated, the spearhead was directed at the "Youth With You 3" program team and the fans who voted for the idol. According to the rules of "youth have you 3", fans for the idol vote in two main ways: one is through the Aqiyi account, the other is through the right to vote "milk vote".

There are also two sources of "milk votes": one from Mengniu real fruit grain "colorful fruit grain" series, each box of milk with a card with a two-dimensional code, each card can vote for ten votes; the other from real fruit grain The other is from the "Fruit and Flower Light Milk" series, each bottle of milk has a QR code on the inside of the cap, and each QR code can cast two votes. In addition to direct purchase of milk, fans will also collect money through the backing association, and then the backing association through scalpers and other channels to directly buy "milk tickets".

The "pouring milk" video points to fans hiring someone to pour milk in order to get milk tickets directly. The video is a great example of a fan's "brainwashing" and "fanaticism". In response, many fans expressed their innocence. They said, a milk ticket is only 20 yuan at the highest, only from the cost point of view, it is impossible to buy milk and then hire someone to pour milk.

In addition, they insisted that most of the milk tickets purchased by the backing club are an electronic QR code, not even the physical milk card and milk cover, pointing the finger at the scalper who provided the electronic QR code and the business behind it. On the other hand, "Creation Camp 2021", which ended its competition before the "milk dumping" incident, also seems to be quite unsettled.

After the finals, a number of contestants' backing associations launched a rights defense against the show, questioning the anomalies in the show's voting data and accusing the show of maliciously inducing fans to spend tens of millions of dollars by setting up numerous lists. They said, "Fans seem to be free, but they are deprived of their real right to freedom under the rule set of stakeholders."

More and more fans are realizing that the so-called voting to determine the idol's debut is just a platform and capital **** scheme.

Dash vowed never to watch "Creation Camp" again in his life.

On July 4, 2020, the night of the Tencent video's "Creation Camp 2020", Xiaoxia's favourite contestant, Shirin Nayi Gao, won first place, and with the other six contestants, formed the "Hard Candy Girls 303" to formally debut the show.

In the face of what should have been a happy outcome, Xiaoxia was a bit angry: "This is capital trampling on us." She put on her microblogging the "creation camp 2020" popular contestants of the capital list, questioning the "hard candy girl 303" there are members of the popularity is not worthy of the debut position.

"Creation Camp 2020" Crowdfunding List

Starting with 2018's "Idol Practitioner," the "Youth With You" and "Creation Camp" series of talent shows have always boasted that the fates of the contestants are in the hands of the viewers, and that the viewers vote on who ultimately becomes a troupe and makes a debut.

And there are two main ways to vote:

One is to vote through the accounts of the program's broadcast platforms;

and the other is to buy drinks from the program's sponsors, each of which comes with a QR code that can be used to vote.

The video account can be purchased, the drink is to buy more, the more votes, the so-called voting has become a money game, the more money fans spend, the more likely to send favorite players out.

"Creation Camp 2020" into the group night

Idol industry development so far, has formed a relatively mature system of support. With the help of social networks, fans scattered all over the world gather together, and then through certain APPs to collect funds for the backing association, and under the organization of the backing association to vote for the idol, hit the list and offline support.

As a result, the fan fund-raising list is also seen as one of the most powerful evidence to test the popularity of the contestants. Seeing a contestant's collection of money outside the ten but debuted, Xiaoxiao felt disgusted, "see through, this program is basically the capital said." She instantly disassociated herself and resolved never to watch the "Creation Camp" series again. However, in less than a year, Xiao Xiao betrayed her vow.

In February of this year, she swiped the video of Gan Wangxing, a contestant of "Creation Camp 2021", and thought that he was very handsome, and "handsome without realizing it", with a kind of simple temperament, so she watched "Creation Camp 2021" again. After watching only the first installment, she was in the pit.

With a deeper understanding of Gan Wangxing, she found that Gan Wangxing was born in the countryside, in order to save money, he brought boxed lunches from home when he was a child, but also not much snacks, "the conditions are very poor, in high school still wear the kind of old people's cotton shoes, the home of the TV feels like the 90s." This makes her feel like she is "helping the poor precisely".

In her opinion, most of the other contestants have good family backgrounds or come from big companies, while Gan Wangxing comes from a small netizen company, with no background and no resources, just a small person who wants to get out of the way on his own.

"Just like Gan Wangxing has a male fan in his 30s, when he first gave Gan Wangxing money, he said something like this, he said that all the other families have their own companies, and if you give him money, it's just the icing on the cake, but if you give Gan Wangxing money, you may be saving his life, it's a gift of charcoal in the snow, and it can change his life." Xiaoxia said.

Gan Wangxing

In fact, under the idol star-making system, almost all fans believe that their playing vote is closely related to the fate of the idol. "Idols have nothing but us fans" is what they say most often. As a senior show fans, Xiaosu and Nan Nan from the "Idol Practice" when they began to watch this kind of idol into a group type of talent show, but never joined the fight cast organization, only this time to watch the "youth have you 3" let them really feel the fight cast a time.

Talking about the reasons for joining the pit, they coincidentally mentioned the idol Kang Kyung-so "hard", "all-round", "miserable" and other qualities. Some details were used to corroborate these qualities: Kang Kyung-so's first stage (first stage performance) was cut short, but he still got an A in the theme song re-rating thanks to his hard work; he learned 5 singing and dancing songs in one night, which is an outstanding ability; he participated in Youth With You 3 without footage or a variety story line, and couldn't get more fan favorites ...

They mentioned the idol's "hard work", "omnipotence", "misery", etc. in common with each other. ...

In Soso and Nan's narrative, Kang Kyung-so suffers from injustice and is buried time and time again, "You could say he has nothing, he only has so many fans, he's completely elected by the people." So even though maybe it was a scam to begin with, and even though they think that Kang Kyung-so might not catch fire even if he debuts, they still can't give up hope of sending their idol to the top of the charts by playing pitch.

"It's really his dream." Sue said.

Kang Kyung-so

Momoko, who has been chasing idols for years, agrees that the hit pitch relates to the direction of an idol's fate. She has been chasing SNH48, a large female idol group with many members, since 2012, and since 2014, the group has held an annual general popularity election, with the company allocating resources based on the results of the election, with the higher the ranking, the better the resources.

The voting method for the general election is very similar to that of a talent show, in that fans buy the idol's albums, each of which comes with a voting ticket.

"If Idol Practitioner is a reality show that makes ordinary people stars in 4 months, then SNH48 is a reality show that makes people stars in 4 years, a mega immersive experience reality show." Peaches said.

She once joined SNH48 member Li Yitong's support group to vote for her. In her account, Li Yitong had suffered from the "all-network black" and the company's unfair treatment, but thanks to her fans' high fundraising, Li Yitong got the first place in the 2018 SNH48 General Election's mid-report (i.e., the real-time vote count of the contestants in the middle of the publication), and gained more exposure resources.

This made the fans even more convinced of the power of pooling funds to fight the vote: "The money we spend is watered down." For this reason, they continued to sell their hit vote, and eventually pushed their idol up to the top of the fault line (with a much higher number of votes than the second place), and stood on the tip of SNH48's pyramid.

Li Yitong

In Peach's view, the process is like a hot-blooded competitive game, where the idol is the protagonist, the fans are the players, and the hit vote is "manipulating the person's fate through the power of money."

This year, she also fell in love with Kang Kyung-soo, and spent 150,000 in the fight for him - even though from the beginning, she realized that Kang Kyung-soo could not "change his destiny", and certainly could not debut. She said, "I really wanted to try and see if I could make him a little bit better if I used my money."

In addition to Li Yitong and Kang Kyung-soo, Momoko also liked You Changjing, a contestant on Idol Practitioner, and Xu Jiaqi, a contestant on Youth With You 2. Chasing You Changjing was the easiest, back then, when talent shows weren't so inwardly scrolling, and "fundraising hadn't sprung up, and there weren't that many lists." Her main job is to publicize You Changjing.

According to media reports, as of the final night of "Idol Practitioner", fans on Owhat for the contestant's public capitalization amounted to more than 14.5 million, of which, the faulty C-suite Cai Xukun public capitalization amounted to about more than 3 million.

And three years later, in "Create Camp 2021" and "Youth With You 3", nearly 10 players' fans have pooled more than 10 million, up to more than 20 million.

Cai Xukun

Peach spent the most money, in the backing organization of the "battle" activities. At that time, Jiang Jingzuo backing association joint "create camp 2021" a contestant's backing association, organized a time-limited battle activities, the two backing associations in the name of the battle of cute pets, the same period of time in an APP on the opening of the fund-raising link, the amount of money higher win, the loser is required to change the avatar, released the other idol's amenable to microblogging and put on the top of the 24-hour period.

In order to let more people know about this battle, stimulate other fans to participate in the collection of funds, the day before the start of the activity, Peach in the Douban group for their own "insert flag" warm-up. The so-called "flag" refers to setting a certain goal, after the goal is reached, "flag" people in the fund-raising link into the amount of money promised, to complete the process of commitment is regarded as "pulling the flag".

Half an hour later, the fans of the fund-raising up to 10,000 yuan, peach to the fund-raising link to add 10,000, the first wave of "pulling the flag". Since then, every once in a while, she pulled the flag, and real-time in the beans and microblogging to update their flag dynamic. To 10:58 pm, two minutes before the end of the battle activity, peach last additional fund-raising. The whole flag-planting activity down, she spent nearly 60,000 yuan.

Peach compared this money to buy a number of game equipment, in this game, because Jiang Jingzuo's fans are not many, the battle is not strong, she as a "battle fan", but was inspired to spend more money impulse.

In addition to the impulse, there is a sense of superiority from the circle of fans, "there was an inexplicable sense of vanity, and pride, to let her get the first. She got the first to prove that the fans terrific."

As SNH48's "mother fan", Peach is the development of the whole group has a sense of mission, to Xu Jiaqi cast, is that she is "the hope of all", she can "youth have you 2" debut, on behalf of the SNH48 The whole group's honor is represented by whether or not she can debut in "Youth With You 2". But every time the show is over, her love for her idol slowly fades.

After Kang Kyung-soo was eliminated, Peach quickly fell in love with an actor; shortly after Xu Jiaqi's debut, Peach quit her support group, "as if fulfilling one of her obsessions."

Hsu Jiaqi

Fei Fei understands this sense of collective honor that fans develop during the casting process. She is a fan of Luo Yizhou, a contestant of "Youth With You 3", and the first time she participated in the crowdfunding, she witnessed a big competition among fans.On April 2, Luo Yizhou's backing club and other artists' backing clubs had a time-limited battle.At that time, Yu Jingtian, a contestant of "Youth With You 3", had not yet withdrawn from the competition and was holding the first place in the by-pass publication, and in the hearts of the fans he was regarded as Luo Yizhou's C The most important thing to remember is that it's not just a matter of time, it's also a matter of time.

In the end, both families pooled nearly 5 million dollars in six hours. The two fans were encouraged by the onlookers to "fight head on" next time, and many people are worried that this will trigger a new round of involution: "It's horrible. My home battle can do ah?" In Fei Fei's opinion, "youth have you 3" collection of funds within the volume, and Luo Yizhou and Yu Jingtian fierce battle between the C position, the two families in the data has been biting very tight, so "lift the overall prices are going up".

In the early days of the show, a "milk card" that allows you to cast ten votes cost only five or six dollars, but by the final stage, it had risen to more than $20. The tickets for the stage show have also been raised, "We do not say that the three public (third stage show) is very important, the three public scene who is the first one who is bullish. Our family tickets probably smashed more than a million dollars."

In late April, Yu Jingtian and Luo Yizhou fans again on the same day held a group building activities. The so-called group construction refers to the theme activities organized by the backing association to motivate fans to raise funds. Fei Fei said, Luo Yi Zhou backing association organized that group building, the purpose is to tie Yu Jingtian fans of the total amount of public fund-raising.

And in addition to the public fund-raising, the fans of each family will also open the dark chain that can not show the amount of money to raise funds, "may be in order to avoid other people to know the bottom of their own family. Chasing a star is like playing infernal affairs, it's quite speechless. A while ago we are still catching traitors, because Yu Jingtian and their family many people mixed into our family's core fan base."

In the rice circle, the various backing associations in order to avoid the "traitor" into the mix, usually will be a variety of play cast group, fan groups set a certain threshold, including the level of super talk, the amount of money collected, and so on.

Fei Fei started out with a relatively low threshold, but as she contributed more and more, she gradually moved into more core groups. She also joined a joint flag-planting organization, every large-scale fund-raising activities, members of the organization will put together the budget together flag-planting, the amount of cumulative amount of more than 100,000. Within the fans, they are known as the "Rich Woman Organization". They have established two group chats, one is a fund-raising group and the other is a gossip group.

If you want to stay in the group, you have to have a certain budget for each of the fundraising activities they participate in, otherwise you will be removed from the group and kept in the chat group. Until the next activity reaches the budget threshold, then you will be moved back.

For the fans, entering the more core hit pitching groups and crowdfunding groups not only means having more inside information, but also represents the right to speak and honor to a certain extent. Luo Yizhou's fans, there is a more powerful financial "rich woman organization", a collection of money may be more than 100,000 yuan.

Along with this "honor" comes a chain of disdain and inward spiral within the fan base. When browsing Gan Wangxing's microblogging super talk, she saw a fan spit out the collection of money less people "purely passers-by", she felt very confused: "real passers-by money will not even hit."

She decided to wait for Gan Wangxing stabilized, no longer look at the super talk, "too rolled, can not stand."

But Haruna also had the urge to spend money for Gan Wangxing. Creation Camp 2021" has a spin-off live show, the first live, Gan Wangxing was asked "netizens say when I look at Gan Wangxing, either I am deaf, or he is mute, what do you think?" During the second live broadcast, he was again asked "Netizens say you dance like you're doing farm work and square dancing, what do you think?" Seeing this live broadcast, Ching-er was so angry that she was on the verge of tears.

In her interpretation, this is the program team is maliciously belittling Gan Wangxing, deliberately mentioning some offensive comments, so that Gan Wangxing feel that the outside world do not like him. After watching the live broadcast, Qing'er went to Super Talk to hang out and saw fans saying, "If we don't play the pitch, we'll just watch the program team bully him." Angry and heartbroken, Qing'er punched a sum of money into Gan Wangxing's pooling link.

Since then, she has participated in several fund-raising campaigns and bought milk to vote for Gan Wangxing. The family situation of Gan Wangxing, the company that "pulls back", the past of half-working and half-studying, the program team's "malice" towards him, as well as Gan Wangxing's lack of self-confidence and sincerity in the release of the rankings have all become the reason for Qing'er's love for him. Every time she saw a fan say that Gan Wangxing was "miserable", she would be "abused". The more she was "abused", the deeper her love for him became.

"Many die-hard fans are abused to die-hard." Haruna said.

"Creation Camp 2021" doki meetup

In fact, in order to attract and solidify fans, "abusing fans" is the most common operation in the rice circle. Peach, who has served in the support clubs of many idols, said that one of her main jobs in the clubs is to "abuse the fans" and encourage them to vote.

During the 2018 SNH48 general election, someone posted on a posting bar questioning SNH48's company's backroom operations, finding people to disguise themselves as fans, and taking the company's funds to call Li Yitong's rivals to take part in her fundraising. After this post was made, many people sympathized with Li Yitong, believing that she had suffered unfair treatment from the company.

Peach knew very well that fans sympathizing with Li Yitong would be "impulsive spenders" and more motivated to participate in the fundraising.

Therefore, she and her support group members carried this post to amplify the story. In order to stimulate the fans to vote, they also sent tweets, implicitly referred to the "unfairness" of the "abuse point", such as copy will write: "suffered from the fate of the unfair treatment, with absolute power to suppress the unfairness.

The company's name is "Curse" and it's a "Curse".

Calling out the company is also a common operation of the abuse of powder. During the Xu Jiaqi competition, other players on the hot search Xu Jiaqi but not on when her fans will feel upset, at this time, Peach will post to scold the company: "The company waste, no money, give her to do not on the hot search. She has worked hard and well, the rest is up to us fans."

But in fact, Peach knows the staff of Xu Jiaqi's company, and she learned that her company actually spent a lot of money on doing hot searches for Xu Jiaqi, but just didn't make it up. "I know the company tried its best, but you can't really say that the company tried its best ah, you have to say it a little bit to add fuel to the fire."

Xu Jiaqi final support

The interpretation of the idol's words and deeds can sometimes abuse the fans.

When Youth With You 3 was published for the third time down the line, Luo Yizhou was once again ranked below Yu Jingtian and got second. He said to his fans in the program, "In fact, I've never been afraid of losing, never afraid of failure, I'm more worried that the stage I present to you is not enough to reward you for what you've done for me." A fan tweeted, paraphrasing his words as, "I want to take first place because I'm used to aiming high. But if you guys can't do it, it's okay, I'm not afraid to lose."

This interpretation was met with a lot of approval, and they argued that it was Luo Yizhou protecting and comforting his fans, "Why can't we send him to the C position? Why is he the one to comfort us every time?" Because she was busy casting at that time, Fei Fei didn't watch that program, but she was still "abused" when she swiped this microblogging. She also felt that this is Luo Yi Zhou "is giving fans to hand down the steps."

In Fei Fei's opinion, Luo Yizhou has been working hard and growing, although the fans are also growing, but the speed can not catch up with the degree of his efforts. "He's chased him from the 40s to second place, is it appropriate not to spend money?"

However, she knows in her heart that the fans' interpretation is just an abusive discourse. "Everyone has been chasing the star for so many years, and they all have a little bit in their hearts. I hit the pitch just because I want him to win. Even if those things weren't there, I'd still be hitting the money hard and hitting the pitches. Of course having those things out there probably makes my love for him a little bit deeper."

On April 24, the night of the "Creation Camp 2021" group, Xiaoxiao once again squatted in front of Tencent Video.

This time, she had a hard battle to fight. Four hours before the start of the live broadcast of the group, she learned a news that made her feel thunderbolt: someone is brushing the votes. A familiar scalper told her that someone had spent 200,000 yuan on a machine to brush up the votes.

Machine-scrubbing is cheating, but within the fans, buying data has basically become **** knowledge, and who knows, the votes will not be cleared. She and a few people who learned about it panicked.

A list of data-brushing services released by scalpers

According to the latest rankings as of April 23 at 12:00 p.m., Gan Wangsing was 14th, which means that if someone brushed the votes, it means that Gan Wangsing's hope of making it out of the competition is even slimmer. The girls decided to take a gamble.

The problem is that they have been "drained". At this stage, almost everyone's money has been used to buy "milk tickets", and they can't come up with the money. They urgently pulled a small group, gathered more than 20 people. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that.

At six o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast began. Xiao Xiao used three cell phones to watch the live broadcast while staring at the progress of the scalpers brushing the tickets. When the money runs out, it's just a matter of getting it together.

The finals

At the same time, she had a very important task: to "generate power" for Gan Wangxing.

This is a special part of the program. Click on the "power station" to "power" for the contestants, the power value accumulated to 1 million, 2 million, 5 million, 10 million, 20 million to unlock a "lights out! "This special effect will not affect the voting result. This effect will not have an impact on the voting results, but it is the contestant's popularity and fan kryptonite ability of the most intuitive proof - each Tencent video account has 10 free power value, but obviously, direct kryptonite is the fastest way to unlock the charging diamond 8000 yuan or so can get 1 million power value.

Two minutes into the broadcast, a contestant began unlocking the light-bulb effect, with his name and avatar appearing at the bottom of the screen, accompanied by special effects such as "walk the flower road" and "cheer" fonts. Only 20 minutes, the player unlocked the last 20 million pop-up special effects, which means that the fans spent, reached 160,000 yuan.

"It's another cash-grabbing session." Xiao Xiao felt some irony while recharging the diamonds. Platform regulations, a maximum of 600 yuan can only be recharged, there will be a small word next to remind the user "rational consumption", "do you think the fans can bear it?" In fact, the "power station" is not live only launched.

The program has set up a "power station" list from the beginning, and only the top of the list can record a derivative variety show. In order to get more exposure for their idols, the fans were crazy about kryptonite, and the top three contestants with the highest cumulative rankings in the seven-period period had power generation values of more than 100 million (costing about 800,000 RMB).

Gan Wangxing, on the other hand, set a record for the highest single-period power value with 30.68 million.

"Creation Camp 2021" power station

In addition to the power station, the platform also set up a number of lists, including the QQ music list, QQ music flutter room, Pure Zhen energy list, Tencent doki heartbeat and so on, the top of the list can be obtained end of the credits eggs, offline meet and greet, the stage of the public performance of the C seat, choose the ranking order of the stage of the public performance and other benefits. "This list is really special, even the derivative variety show has a list, the top three can choose clothes first. The program group is making crazy money." Qing'er said.

In Qing'er's opinion, in addition to the list of many, the platform also intends to design through the rules to "circle money". She QQ music flutter room as an example, the top three of this list can get the first offline meeting opportunity, at the same time, every breakthrough 1 million, 3 million, 5 million, 8 million power value have corresponding exposure resources. And "create camp 2021" in four students have been fierce competition, in order to compete for the top three, these three "roll life and death", there are two students to unlock the 1 million benefits of the time is only one second difference.

At that time, many fans were spitting: "The platform is really a small moneymaker, four into three, who four who embarrassed." In fact, not only the fluttering music room, the youth memorial list has also triggered fans "roll life and death" sentiment. Although the results of these sub-lists will not be counted in the voting results, fans still spend a lot of time, energy and money for this. And their fight for the ranking of the secondary list, not only to give the idol for more benefits, on the other hand, they are also afraid of their own idol was "shaken" shaken out related.

"Shaking the number" is a fan's way of joking about the platform's ranking. Since the platform does not publish all the voting data, the ranking of the contestants and the number of votes will not be updated in real time, so the fans do not trust the authenticity of the data. Every year, there are fans who question the existence of the platform "do vote" behavior. Xiaoxia counted an account: the final of many players tickets are ten million level, to the fans of the price of money and milk ticket calculation, "it is impossible to have so many votes", so she suspected that behind the platform brushing and the company under the field "irrigation".

"In fact, the rules of the game are clear to everyone, that is, Tencent wants to let who debut, let who debut." Xiao Xiao said.

Under the non-transparent voting rules, almost all fans are afraid that their idols are "doing the vote", so they are eager to use the data of each list to prove the popularity of the idol and the fans' kryptonite ability, the more directly to the platform kryptonite list, the more hard to play. The more you do it, the more you're going to be able to do it, the more you're going to be able to do it.

"Creation Camp 2021" Kryptonite list April 24 at nine o'clock in the evening, "Creation Camp 2021" into a group of night all the voting channels closed, but the light link is still continuing. Xiao Xiao felt that as long as the result is not yet revealed, Gan Wangxing still has a chance. She put all her hopes on the light bursting and continued to charge money to generate power for him. "It's just that I want Tencent to see that we haven't given up and have been working hard, so that Tencent can see our value." Said here, Xiao Xiao cried.

At 10:05, the rankings were announced starting from the tenth place. Ten, nine, eight, seven ...... Xiao Xiao never heard Gan Wangxing's name. "Eleven, eleven." She prayed in her heart. She only hoped that Gan Wangxing made it out. After more than forty minutes, hopes were completely dashed. The fans who went to the scene to vote for Gan Wangxing told her that Gan Wangxing did not debut.

Originally, Xiaoxiao also had the opportunity to get a free ticket to the scene of the night of the formation of the group, but in order to save the airfare and hotel money used to buy milk tickets, she did not go. She felt powerless, "gambling" a "moth to the flame", this battle she still lost.

In addition to crying, she did not know what to do. She also did not dare to take a detailed inventory of how much money she actually spent this day, "has gone crazy, hard to fill the diamond." In order to machine brush votes, she and other fans finally came together to put together 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. This day down, she spent at least another four or five thousand.

"Creation Camp 2021" into the reunion night

After the final, fans of the big hitters who did not make it out, Qing Ren, Jing Ji Da Xiang, and Gan Wang Xing, questioned the final rankings one after the other, and launched a rights defense to Tencent Video. They cited multiple lists such as the Crowdfunding List and the Power Generation Master List to prove that their idols should have been in the debut position, and demanded that the platform conduct a thorough investigation of the final week's data and give an open and credible investigation report. They also accused the platform of setting up too many lists, "guiding the powder group to vicious competition, resulting in involution, giving rise to a deformed powder circle ecology.

Fans seem to be free, but they are deprived of real choices under the design of rules by stakeholders." Xiaoxia also participated in the defense of rights, but in her view, this is just a fan's venting, "can not change anything, and there is no benefit to offend Tencent." She is more concerned about how to do data to maintain the heat and commercial value of Gan Wangxing in the period just after the game, so that perhaps Gan Wangxing can also "bend the road to overtake". The company is also keeping a close eye on the microblogging super talk, and from time to time will participate in the control of the comment.

However, after a few days of watching, the familiar fatigue is coming back - there are fans on the microblogging site urging people to buy the first business that Gan Wangxing received. Since the announcement of the suspension of "Youth With You 3", Fifi no longer need to do any hit casting, and in the great emptiness, she felt a kind of relief: "It's good not to have to do the data." In the past, the end of a talent show never meant the end of hit casting.

The first thing fans of the debutantes faced was a "microblogging move," where the idol was moved from the microblogging "new star list" to the "mainland list". "The top three of the monthly list can only be moved to the "Mainland List". This is another time-consuming and costly battle, and last year, a fan spent 3 million dollars for the idol to move.

During the interview, "Most People" talked to Fei Fei about "microblogging": if her favorite Luo Yizhou had made his debut in the best possible way, would she have participated in microblogging? She replied: "This kind of thing is whoever is rich and whoever is powerful, this is definitely not afraid."
