Many of the people who didn't watch the live broadcast didn't want to listen, but they thought they could save money. But after the entire Star Network had almost completely covered the content related to this live broadcast, regret swept over them like a rolling wave.
Even if there is no way to record audio or video, those who have felt the shock can only try their best to describe their feelings in their own words, and wish they had another mouth.
When the live broadcast just entered the first wave of breaks, the first batch of flattery began to emerge. Most of the flattering comments were inferred to be from water army, and many people who didn't get along with Lin Yi or Lin Yi's fans came out to mock him.
"Can the signs of this manipulation be any more obvious? The live broadcast has only started for five minutes and they are so impatient to send in the Internet trolls to fill the scene?"
"You said you can't wait to use the water army to fill the scene. You don't understand. You have to let the water army come out early to brag. This will attract more people to watch. Otherwise, how can you make money?"
"Didn't their fans brag about it before, saying that they were slapping the production team of Where Are We From? Tsk tsk tsk, I took a look at the live broadcast number of Where Are We From, and the comparison with Lin Yi's is too tragic. I don't know who is slapping who in the face."
But even so, it would be a lie to say that the ratings of the second season of "Where We Come From" were not affected at all.
At least since the show started, the ratings of the second episode in the same time period are still quite different from those of the first episode. Not to mention that the second episode was directly lured away by Lin Yi, but it is also true that some of the previous operations ruined the show's popularity.
However, the director of the second season was already very calm about the ratings and had made the expected psychological preparations, so after looking at the data after the broadcast, he felt much more at ease. Although it did not exceed the first season, the overall data was still higher than many other variety shows, and it was in the first echelon.
Lin Yi's fans who didn't watch the live broadcast were fighting on the front line, and their words were no worse than those of the black fans. After all, it was difficult for people with fragile hearts to be fans of Lin Yi, who had not yet completely cleared his name and whose negative information was brought up from time to time.
This happened during the first break, and it didn't affect anyone watching Lin Yi's livestream. They didn't want to miss a single second, so they didn't have time to worry about whether their rainbow farts sparked a fight among the outside world.
And when the second wave of flattery appeared about five minutes later, the first wave of quarrels was still at its climax.
However, when the second wave of rainbow farts followed by the third wave of rainbow farts were output steadily and the number continued to increase, it increased to the point where the number generated at the same time could not have been the work of the water army, and the direction of public opinion suddenly reversed.
Moreover, people with a discerning eye noticed that the ratings of "Where We Come From" were visibly declining with each intermission, and even the lottery did not play a big role.
As the tempo of the song became higher and higher, the listeners' comments became more and more intense, thus forming a positive feedback. By the time the next few waves took a break, the speed of gaining fans was several times that of the previous ones.
The most dumbfounded person was not Lin Yi's haters who were slapped in the face in less than half an hour, but the director of the second episode of "Where Are We From" who had just put his mind at ease and was almost staggered by the shock of this gap.
Judging from the rate at which the data is dropping, it will be difficult for the second episode to maintain high ratings, let alone maintain ratings on par with ordinary small variety shows.
An invisible pressure pressed down on the director's head, but at least he didn't faint.
The live broadcast of the new song release ended at eight o'clock, and the real discussion about this live broadcast only started at eight o'clock.
The fans who came out of the live broadcast room spread their voices from all corners of the empire to every possible corner they could think of, such as family groups, forums, star networks, etc. Among them, there are many influential people who already have large fan bases.
This power of communication, like running water, was twisted into a twist, flushing the entire imperial network in one go, and then transmitted to real life.
Those who have not paid to watch the live broadcast will have to wait three days to watch the live replay, while paying viewers can watch it over and over again on their own personal terminals.
"I feel like I had a deep misunderstanding of Lin Yi before. I always thought he just loved hype... I didn't expect his talent to be so strong. Any of the seven songs he released at once can shock me."
Of course, it cannot be said that 100% of the people watching the live broadcast were Lin Yi's fans. Some of them paid to enter just to find fault, planning to listen and then write some negative reviews online. Ninety-nine percent of these people showed a tendency to switch sides at this time.
It is really hard to open your mouth to say some things that go against your conscience.
There are indeed some negative reviews, but they can be completely ignored.
Fans are naturally satisfied when seeing this kind of comments, and can't help but defend Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin Yi has never hyped himself up. He rarely even updates his status. If I hadn't followed the fan club, I would have felt like he had no movement at all."
"That's right... Most of the so-called hype is actually caused by haters. It's unfair."
Lin Yi posted another update at 8:30, which was a three-minute video clip with the following text: "Thank you all for coming to see my performance today. All the songs I performed today will be available on my personal music platform tomorrow morning. Good night."
The performances of seven songs were edited together in three minutes, integrating the most exciting parts. The emotions are full and explosive, and the layers are very delicate, as if there is a reshaping force that pieced the seven songs together into one song.
The editing of Lin Yi's appearance and face in the video is also very skillful. Sometimes the focus is on his facial features, and sometimes the camera suddenly slides down to focus only on his fingertips swinging down as the song expresses itself, perfectly blending lyricism and outburst.
Not only those who didn't watch the live broadcast were shocked by this video, those who watched it were even more shocked.
"What is this??? I'm sure I've heard every word of it, but after putting it all together it feels like a new song. This version is surprisingly good too."
"It's truly a divine creation. The eighth song came out just by doing this. This one is so good. I give it a thumbs up."
"Ah, it's a pity that this video cannot be watched in real life, but this alone is already very explosive. I just want to hang myself and cry loudly for my decision not to watch the live broadcast in order to save money."
“Can friends who were at the scene tell me, does Lord Lin Yi really have no pheromones… Why does my heart beat so fast just by watching this video? It’s more exciting than smelling pheromones. The most important thing is, I’m an omega!”
Whether it is omega or alpha, it is a common behavior in the entertainment industry to emit pheromones appropriately to increase charm. Therefore, there are many celebrities who use the same pheromone perfume. Of course, the largest user group of this perfume is naturally beta.
It's no secret that Lin Yi's glands are injured and no longer emit pheromones, but most of the time his fans won't talk about this in public. After all, this is a very painful thing.
However, there are still many people who feel the same way under this comment and silently leave comments and raise their hands.
"I'm an alpha. After listening to the live show, it didn't taste good at all, but I was also very excited... I was a little ashamed at first, but it turns out that even omegas are excited. It seems that it's not because I'm perverted."
"I am a beta. Normally, I would not react even if pheromones hit me. But I was so excited for the first time when I saw Master Lin Yi's performance. I think it has nothing to do with pheromones. Usually, the pheromones we feel are more of a forced chemical stimulation. Master Lin Yi's charm is enough to replace or even exceed this."
There are many similar replies, which made many people suddenly realize that charm can be exuded from gestures and movements, and there is no necessary or absolute connection between it and pheromones.
If many people regretted not listening to the live broadcast before, they are now beating their chests and stamping their feet. Even if you can still listen to the live broadcast three days later, or even pay to download it to your personal terminal tomorrow at noon, the real real-time interactivity is gone, making people who can see the video effect but cannot be there in person feel bored.
The personal music platform that Lin Yi mentioned is indeed a literal personal music platform. At present, Empire does not have an influential platform other than the music forum to continuously spread music works.
Lin Yi simply asked Qi Ming to do him another favor and build a new platform.
This was a small matter, and it wouldn't even take Qi Ming ten minutes, but Lin Yi still promised to give him a private room to dine alone.
Qi Ming was naturally happy, and he also told Lin Yi that he was sure that he could complete the thing Lin Yi asked him to find without alerting anyone or any organization.
Lin Yi naturally thanked him.
A separate private dining room does sound like a generous decision now, but in the next month, there will be nearly a hundred new Earth restaurants that have confirmed their locations to open in the capital star alone, and a private dining room among them is just a small matter.
Lin Yi turned off his personal terminal, stood up and stretched.
Little A was still on the balcony at this moment. It went into the house when it heard Lin Yi's movement inside. It estimated the time and ran to run a bath for Lin Yi, then quickly went into the house to get Lin Yi's spare clothes.
Lin Yi took a bath and went to bed early, but did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he put his hands behind his head and thought about something.
Tonight basically achieved his expected effect, but Lin Yi didn't plan to continue to do this. He has always been a casual person.
This is probably because he never felt the pressure of life when he was on Earth, and he became famous at a young age and had a rich family background. Lin Yi is used to only filming the dramas he likes and writing songs when he has inspiration. He doesn't like to work according to a packed schedule.
But at present, almost everyone in this circle is busy, and even busier than the colleagues Lin Yi met on Earth. It's not for other reasons, because the population of the empire is too large, and the speed at which new people replace old ones is several times faster. Once you don't work hard, there will be people behind you who want to take your place, and no one dares to slack off.
Lin Yi is not worried about being replaced. He maintains his current popularity and discussion partly in order to throw a similar fate back to Song Shu and the others. After that, it can be within Lin Yi's plan for him to move behind the scenes or retire.
If Lin Yi really wants to make money, this is not the only way.
Even if there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of restaurants on Earth throughout the empire, there would still be no shortage of customers. And as Earth cuisine truly and thoroughly set off a wave throughout the empire, countless incidental industries were generated.
As Lin Yi lies down, all he can think of are convenience foods, smart recipe authorization, and various types of snacks that he can find developed in the laboratory.
The concept of convenient food in the Empire is completely different from that on Earth, and has nothing to do with instant noodles or self-heating hot pot. This concept of convenience is somewhat similar to take-out service, except that these meals are not served from the back kitchen of the restaurant, but from large-scale assembly line processing plants.
With the Empire's almost light-speed freight speed at that time, there was no problem at all for a bento to reach the user within five minutes after it was cooked.
The authorization of intelligent recipes is for intelligent brains. At this time, no human will cook by hand, and the authority of the recipes is currently in Xiao D's head. Authorizing other intelligent brains for limited use can allow it to enter every household.
Of course, the cost of this authorization will certainly not be low. At that time, the only people who will want this authorization are some middle- and upper-income families, but this is definitely a considerable income.
Not to mention snacks and the like.
It can be said that, in the empire, except for the nutrient solution sector, which is probably half full, all other aspects are gaps that Lin Yi can fill freely. The market is so big that there is no end in sight.
Even in the area of nutrient solution, the most common flavor currently available is fruity. Lin Yi thinks that if it is made into hot and sour soup, or beef bone soup, chicken soup, or braised pork flavor, etc., they can all be options. Once heated slightly, they can be similar to a dish. This is another huge module to be developed.
There is so much that can be done.
