Official promotion requires preparation.
Music reviews require review.
As noon approaches, the new song list for May takes shape.
Fei Gewang won the championship without much suspense.
And Chen Zhiyu was destined to be ranked second.
The third and fourth place are both first-tier, but there is still a big gap between them and the second place Chen Zhiyu...
Fei Ge Wang is in the first tier.
Chen Zhiyu is in the second tier.
The rest are in third gear.
In other words, if it weren't for Fei Gewang's sudden emergence, Chen Zhiyu would have won first place without any suspense.
Because he indeed beat the other two first-line singers on the list.
but…
Why Chen Zhiyu came second is not the focus of outside attention. Only people in the industry care about such things.
The outside world only knows that Chen Zhiyu took second place again!
As expected.
As the list came out, the topic of "Chen Zhiyu is always the runner-up" quickly became a hot search on the blog!
The popularity is rising rapidly!
In a blink of an eye, we broke into the top ten and continued to move towards the top three!
Even passers-by who were originally indifferent to this meme couldn't help but be speechless this time...
"Second again?"
"I remember Chen Zhiyu lost to Zhao Yingluo... then lost to Sun Yaohuo... and then lost to Xia Fan... so he got second place three times in a row!"
"To put it simply, it's three defeats to Xianyu. These three songs were all written by Xianyu."
"As the old saying goes, things never happen more than three times. The result is not a problem. It is true that things never happen more than three times, but Chen Zhiyu did not lose to Xianyu again... This time he lost to the singing king Fei Yang..."
"The funniest thing is that this time Chen Zhiyu's song was written by Xianyu..."
"What kind of luck is this? It's too mysterious!"
"I was caught off guard and burst out laughing when I heard the news!"
"Second brother: It would be great if winning the first place of the season was as easy as winning the first place of trending search."
"Wow, my second brother is now number one on the trending search list?"
"I feel sorry for Chen Zhiyu. Come on, Chen Zhiyu, protect the best second brother in the world!"
"Hold on, second brother!"
"… "
Perhaps it is because Chen Zhiyu, the perennial second-in-command, has become deeply rooted in people's hearts, and many netizens directly jokingly call Chen Zhiyu "Second Brother".
The “two” that means always second.
As for the hot searches, Chen Zhiyu did rank first. Even Fei Yang's new song only ranked 13th at this time.
Don’t talk about people from Qin Province.
Even netizens from Qi Province couldn't help laughing after learning about Chen Zhiyu's deeds.
"The eternal runner-up?"
"Is this cursed?"
"No wonder everyone calls him the second brother."
"In the dark, there is a will of two!"
“The song title ‘Change Yourself’ is so appropriate!”
"… "
Just like someone from the next planet never makes the headlines, some news is just metaphysically funny.
Coupled with the fact that some bloggers deliberately fanned the flames in order to attract traffic, naturally many people love this perennial runner-up joke.
The attention to Chen Zhiyu’s tribe increased rapidly.
but…
Just when everyone was having fun playing with the meme, top music critic Zhang Qi suddenly published a music review:
Did you really understand Chen Zhiyu’s “Change Yourself”
Who is Zhang Qi
Vice President of Qinzhou Music Association!
The top music connoisseur in Qinzhou music scene!
Not to mention being highly respected, but at least he is a recognized industry leader!
Naturally, his article attracted the attention of countless people at the first time.
But everyone was very puzzled.
What does the title of this article mean
Didn’t I understand the song “Change Yourself”
With this curiosity, many people clicked on Zhang Qi's music review.
The perennial runner-up sang about his determination to change himself in his new song, but ended up coming in second again. Chen Zhiyu has become a joke to everyone.
I don't mean to criticize anything.
As an artist, you must be mentally prepared to be entertained by the public.
Whether in private life or work, such things will always trigger jokes and ridicule from netizens.
But we can’t ignore the song itself just because it’s a joke. Is "Change Yourself" really just a singer’s monologue
Or, as I asked in the title, do you really think you understand the song "Change Yourself"
I believe that the vast majority of netizens who followed the trend and made use of the memes did not understand it, otherwise they would not have laughed so naturally.
Change yourself, who are you
Is it Chen Zhiyu who switched to Xingmang, or the eternal runner-up who cooperated with Xianyu
Both and neither!
This self is each and every one of us!
The meaning of the song is actually hidden in every line of the lyrics!
The so-called changing the world actually refers to the future of the great integration of the blue planet we are facing; the so-called changing ourselves actually means that we hope everyone can adapt to this new world and become the protagonist of the new world; the so-called changing the barriers actually expresses the song creator’s strong criticism of the cultural walls that still exist in the states that have not yet merged; the so-called changing pettiness actually refers to the regional concepts that should no longer exist in our hearts but are still deeply rooted...
I envy you for your great talent!
Chen Zhiyu, great love!
This song uses a relaxed singing voice to inspire us on the practices and attitudes we should have in facing the progress of the times, but the lyrics do not have the common official preaching connotations. "Change Yourself" points out the confusion that still exists in our hearts, and also guides everyone in a clearer direction. The people who can truly change the world are you who can constantly change yourselves!
"… "
After reading this long review, many people were confused!
Most people regard "Change Yourself" as a nice but ordinary pop song.
No one would have thought that behind the seemingly simple lyrics and melody of this song, there actually is such a profound meaning!
Netizens were stunned!
After Zhang Qi, some other music critics spoke out, and their comments were almost consistent with Zhang Qi's:
"This song has a lot of meaning behind it, and you can't just look at the lyrics at face value!"
"Xianyu's "Change Yourself" reflects the changes of an era through the so-called self!"
"Stop saying Chen Zhiyu is always the second best. He shouldn't be the second best. His singing is full of love for this world!"
“Is it too superficial to use pop songs to evaluate “Alter Yourself”?”
"… "
Netizens are both blind and sober.
But no matter who you are, you can consider the rationality of these music reviews through your own thinking.
Many people, after reading the music reviews, immediately listened to "Change Yourself" again.
I don’t know if it’s psychological.
Following the lyrics of "Change Yourself", everyone listened to the song again and suddenly realized that the music critic was right!
These lyrics may seem simple at first glance, but they actually have specific meanings and can be interpreted in depth!
“Oh my god!”
"Been taught a lesson."
“This song is awesome!”
"Teacher Zhang Qi's interpretation is simply divine!"
"I admit that I didn't understand this song the first time I heard it. Thanks to the many music critics online for reminding me. I downloaded this song, and the music reviews made me like it..."
"Xianyu's talent is fully displayed in this song!"
"In the context of the Qin-Qi merger, 'Change Yourself' is the most appropriate song. I was superficial before."
"I never thought about it in this way before... But now I think along the lines of the music critics, my god, this song is so awesome!"
"… "
Crash!
All of Qin Qi’s netizens were shocked by the meaning of this song!
At this time, Zhongzhou’s official propaganda account, the “Homeland” account with a blue star as its avatar, reposted the song “Change Yourself” that stunned netizens, and attached a paragraph of text and lyrics quote:
“We change with the times, and the times change with us. Friends of the new generation, let’s do our best!”
