Since his debut in 2015, Lu Chen's fan base has grown at an astonishing rate, especially the fans on Inspur blog, which have grown from a mere tens of thousands to 15 million+ in just over half a year.
But the core of his fan support group has always been the Lu Family Army established by Li Mubai.
So far, the total number of members of the Lu Family Army has exceeded 500,000, and they are the backbone of Lu Chen's support. The number of Feixun groups has reached 200+, with [Whale TV] Lu Chen Live Room, Inspur Blog Lu Chen Fan Group Official V, and Lu Chen Bar as examples. The base has formed a rather large scale.
On the evening of February 18, 2016, the [Asian Chinese Golden Melody Chart] awards ceremony, hosted by CCTV and CNR and broadcast live, attracted the attention of thousands of fans because Lu Chen had four nominations.
There are many, many fans, while watching TV or live video, while discussing with other people in blogs and post bars, new posts are posted every second in Lu Chen's bar, and the PV traffic has set a record.
These fans don't like [Whale TV], and they don't like the style of the blog. They squat in the post bar all the year round, and whenever there is any activity, they often respond in groups, so they are often called "navy army".
There are two types of "Water Army", one is mineral water and the other is tap water. The former requires money, while the latter is free.
The food in Lu Chen's bar is basically tap water!
So when Lu Chen won the best award, the post bar was in a state of ebullition. Countless congratulatory posts gushed out like magma that had been pierced through the earth's crust, making the front page a hit!
However, this enthusiastic atmosphere didn't last long. As the award ceremony continued, it gradually calmed down. Especially when Lu Chen lost the best lyricist award, the post bar was full of lamentations.
"The best lyricist is really useless, as expected!"
"Don't say I'm ignorant, who are these people, I really don't know them!"
"Wang Guangzong doesn't even know? Haven't you heard of "Spring Dawn", "The End of the World and the Bright Moon Shining on the Hometown" and "The End of the Road"?"
"Don't talk about it, Wang Guangzong is still very good, a real big guy, it's normal for Lu Chen to lose."
"What's normal? Even though he was great in the past, I haven't heard his award-winning work. Who hasn't heard Lu Chen's "I Love You China"?"
"The award is not about the popularity of the song..."
Fans of Lu Chen Bar felt sorry for Lu Chen's loss of the best lyrics, and there were also a lot of indignation, but basically it was acceptable, without too many extreme remarks, or yelling that CCTV was shady or something .
Compared with Lu Chen's cold reception on the [Chinese Music Chart], the honor he has won now makes it impossible to complain about CCTV's integrity - at least fairness can still be guaranteed.
Of course, there are also many optimists in the post bar.
Someone posted: "Don't panic, there are still best composition and best album!"
His post was immediately echoed by other fans: "Yes, the best composition has begun, Lu Chen has a play!"
However, not everyone supports his point of view. A friend whose ID is called [Heavy Metal Element] replied: "The best lyrics are not played, and the best composition still wants to be played? Dreaming? "I Love You China" is just so-so Well, it's nothing more than the light of the main theme, otherwise there would be no nominations."
"To put it bluntly, Lu Chen has been praised too much, Lin Chuxuan is no worse than him among the newcomers!"
[Heavy metal elements] Obviously belonged to passers-by, and his fan value in Lu Chen Bar was 0, so this reply immediately angered friends, and a long stream of slamming replies appeared in the blink of an eye.
"Where did the sunspot come from, as far as your thoughts go, you can go as far as you want!"
"Hehe, I see pink eye disease again."
"The sore teeth have fallen out, so you are a fan of Lin Chuxuan, right?"
"Everyone, don't be fooled. This guy is here to provoke trouble on purpose. It's best not to talk to him."
Faced with the siege of many friends and fans, [Heavy Metal Elements] posted another post: "Hehe, Lu Chen's fans are all of this quality? It's really an uplifting gesture. I'm going to put my words here today. If he can win the most Good composition, I will eat this custom-made magic keyboard in front of me!"
This taunt was so powerful that it drew countless hatred in an instant and annoyed even more friends!
Betting on eating keyboards is a routine used by netizens in post bars and forums. There are also people who bet on eating Xiang, but of course that is not within the scope of the discussion.
Because it is a routine, no one will take it seriously, but the attitude of [Heavy Metal Element] is too irritating, and he opened his mouth to hack all the fans of Bar Friends.
In addition, what he said about "customized version of the magic keyboard" is also a very subtle mockery.
The Magic Keyboard is the aristocrat among the keyboards. The mass-produced version starts at a thousand yuan, and the custom-made version costs tens of thousands of yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
The netizens in the post bar are basically ordinary people.
But many fans remained silent on the mockery of [Heavy Metal Elements].
Because to be honest, the possibility of Lu Chen winning the best composition is really low. The weight of the best composition is higher than that of the best lyrics and the best newcomer. , who has never been able to win the best newcomer and the best composition at the same time.
Most importantly, Lu Chen's competitors are too strong - Dong Zhen, Zhang Keyi and Tang Xiya!
Generally speaking, the popularity of songwriters is much weaker than that of singers, and the two are not in the same order at all.
For a good song that has been sung all over the world, people will only remember who the original singer is, and seldom care about the author, unless the author is the singer himself. No matter how high the status of the songwriter in the circle is, this phenomenon cannot be changed.
Dong Zhen, Zhang Keyi and Tang Xiya are all famous composers whose names can be remembered by many fans!
[Heavy Metal Elements] It is precisely because of this that he dared to make fun in Lu Chen's bar so unscrupulously.
What's the use of scolding him then? The result will only make him more proud.
And at the same time as the battle was raging in the post bar, the winner of the best composition in the National Center for the Performing Arts was about to be announced.
Li Xing was responsible for announcing the winners.
The 32-year-old Li Xing is one of the few superstars in China. She debuted for 17 years, published more than a dozen albums, starred in many movies and TV series, and achieved great achievements in all aspects.
In terms of the coffee position in the circle, she is still ahead of Chen Feier, but now Chen Feier has the potential to come from behind with the hit "Blue Life and Death".
Tonight, Li Xing is wearing a navy blue deep V evening dress. Under the spotlight, her breasts are half exposed and her mature style is simply unstoppable.
She gracefully tore open the sealed envelope, took out the jammed paper and opened it.
The next moment, Li Tianhou showed a surprised expression, as if she had seen something incredible.
Her expression was also displayed on the large LED screen behind, and was seen by hundreds of millions of viewers at the same time.
But everyone has seen a lot of awards ceremonies, and knows that award presenters like to play this kind of expression tricks the most. Pretending to be suspenseful is often not much suspense, it is nothing more than creating a dramatic effect.
The guests at the ceremony were even more used to it, quietly waiting for her to reveal the answer.
However, Li Xing opened her red lips and spit out two words.
"Lu Chen."
Lu Chen... Lu Chen? How could it be Lu Chen!
The entire audience was stunned. It felt like a supporting actor who had been running with him had suddenly become a protagonist.
It's incredible!
But the music that sounded instantly in the main hall let everyone know that they heard it right.
"The lark flies across the blue sky, I love you China~ I love you China, I love you China~"
"I love your vigorous seedlings in spring, and I love your golden fruits in autumn..."
That's right, it's Lu Chen, his "I Love You China"!
With this already well-known work, Lu Chen won the laurel of the best composition in the 16th [Asian Chinese Golden Melody Chart], and won his second Golden Lark Award, and it is a more important one!
Li Xing smiled and said, "Congratulations Lu Chen!"
The spotlight instantly shone on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen never thought that after losing the best lyrics, he would win the best composition. He was really caught off guard and couldn't help but look stunned.
Of course, his reaction couldn't be more normal, and he's not a robot. It would be weird to be indifferent.
Chen Fei'er pushed him lightly, turned around and smiled, "Congratulations!"
She was the first to clap her hands.
The audience in the audience seemed to wake up from a dream, and there were loud applause at the same time.
Who would have thought that CCTV would release such a big bomb, it is estimated that some of tomorrow's entertainment news will be torn up.
In fact, strictly speaking, Lu Chen deserved the Best Composer Award. The song "I Love You China" he nominated combines popular elements with the main melody style very well. The best, most loved songs by the public.
The reason why everyone was not optimistic about Lu Chen before was that his competitors were too strong.
The most criticized thing about the [Asian Chinese Golden Melody List], which has been held for more than a dozen sessions, is that there is a phenomenon of seniority, and most of the important awards will not be awarded to young people who have just debuted.
As a result, at the last session, a big news came out!
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that CCTV is not intentionally grandstanding, but intends to encourage and support the new forces of pop music, so that young musicians can have more opportunities to emerge.
This is a good thing for the domestic pop music scene, and people can't help but look forward to the [Global Chinese Original Golden Songs] that will be held on December 31 this year. list]!
So everyone was surprised, but also gave warm applause to Lu Chen who walked onto the stage.
This is his moment of glory!
