31.3 million!
Before Wang Xuan revealed that he was Bai Hu, Wang Xuan's Weibo followers were only about 6 million. Doesn't it mean that this wave of Wang Xuan's Weibo followers skyrocketed to 25 million?
Overnight, the number of followers skyrocketed to 25 million. How could everyone not be shocked by this? How could you not be dumbfounded?
This is incredible, okay?
The key is that there is no such precedent!
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, the entire Chinese music industry and even the European and American entertainment circles, there has never been such a precedent. No one has been able to soar to 25 million in popularity overnight. No one has ever been able to jump several levels overnight, from a third-tier singer to a star Jump to the top of the singing king!
You know, the higher the star level, the harder it is to climb.
From a pure newcomer to a third-tier singer, from a third-tier singer to a second-tier singer, from a second-tier singer to a first-tier singer, from a first-tier singer to a king of singers, it seems that the popularity gap between each level is 5 million, but the popularity will be saturated, and the market will be saturated. Yes, there are only so many people interested in the entertainment industry. The higher you go, the harder it is to increase your popularity.
Do you know why there are only 7 top people in the mainland entertainment industry? Because every superstar has more than 40 million followers, but most stars are very good if they can become a first-line artist. To become the king of singers or movie stars, they have to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they need to compete with many, many people. As for movie kings and singers, they are the vast majority or even more than 99% of celebrities, and they are the highest achievements that they can achieve in their lifetime.
Going up further is difficult and difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky!
If you are the king of singers and the king of movies, it will be too difficult to climb up if you still follow the same route. It is easy to increase the popularity of three or two million, but it is very difficult to increase the popularity of four to five million. Most celebrities will not think about it after they rush to the king of singers and movie kings. Instead of attacking the Uranus superstar, he will choose to stabilize his popularity.
If 20 million Weibo followers can be considered the popularity threshold for a singer-songwriter and actor-level star, then 21 million Weibo followers is also known as the danger line for a singer-songwriter and actor-level star in the industry. Once it falls below this danger line, it means that the popularity of the singer or actor is unstable, and there is a possibility of falling to the top of the singer or actor.
Therefore, most singers and movie kings will pay great attention to their Weibo followings and try to keep their Weibo followings above 21 million. If they find that there is a possibility that their Weibo followings may fall below 21 million, they will find a way Increase your exposure. For example, commercial performances, accepting big-name endorsements, releasing new songs, filming new movies and TV series, participating in variety shows...
Li Kui, Stefanie Xiao, and Chen Minzhi participated in "The King of Masked Singer" in fact to stabilize their popularity, because their previous popularity had dropped a bit and has almost fallen below the danger line of 21 million Weibo followers.
Yu Hao pursues something bigger. He actually wants to move up, so after discovering that his career as a singer has reached its peak, he plans to find another way and move to the film and television industry.
This is also the route taken by most international superstars.
There are currently 7 international superstars at the top of domestic entertainment. Except for 2 who pursue a single route of film and television, the other 5 all take the route of both film and television singers.
And those two who pursue a single route of film and television also need to move to American Hollywood and fight their way through the siege in American Hollywood. If you only work in the Chinese film and television industry or the Southeast Asian film and television industry, it is impossible to reach the position of a superstar.
But how easy is it for Chinese movie stars to break out in American Hollywood? Natural discrimination is enough for you. Most Chinese stars who have moved to Hollywood, no matter how popular they were in China before, are very unpopular. They almost all start out as walk-ons, with very few roles. There are very few Chinese stars who can make it to the top in Hollywood in one fell swoop. Because what people only care about is the Chinese market behind Chinese stars, and they won’t tailor-made movies for you at all.
Comparatively speaking, those who take the two-way route of film and television singers will have an easier time reaching the position of international superstars than those who take the single route of film and television singers, but it is not easy. Movie king. These two prerequisites have stopped countless people, not to mention that after meeting these two prerequisites, they can gain popularity in Southeast Asia.
If you only follow the route of a single singer... it is almost impossible to reach the position of an international superstar, at least no one has ever reached it before. The domestic entertainment industry cannot create an international superstar from a single singer. It is more difficult for a singer to enter the European and American music scene than it is for a movie star to enter American Hollywood.
In fact, in another time and space, the only singer in the Chinese entertainment industry who could be called an international superstar was Jay Chou. As a representative figure of modern Chinese pop music, it is no exaggeration to call Jay Chou the most shining star in the Chinese music scene in the past ten years.
In Asia, Jay Chou is extremely popular. The Smecta Kingdom regarded "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" as a masterpiece. When Jay Chou went to shoot Initial D, the airport was packed by fans from the island nation. There is a dialogue in the background of the Singaporean movie "Children Are Not Bad": The class teacher: "If you get first in grade, I will give each of you a set of Jay Chou's latest album!" The students said "ohhhhhhh".
In the United States, there are countless covers of "Blue and White Porcelain", and many black people regard Jay Zhou as equal to JayZ, and even started to use his songs to learn Chinese.
In terms of talent and charm alone, Jay Chou is as good as any top star in the international music scene. His achievements are really many. He is one of the top ten music geniuses in the world. In 2009, he was selected as one of the "25 Most Influential People in Asia" by CNN in the United States. He was also on the cover of Time magazine in the United States...
But to be more serious, Jay Chou's influence is mainly concentrated in Asia, because he only sings Chinese songs, and the mainstream language in the West is English. Cultural differences and many reasons make it difficult for Jay Chou to break into the European and American music scene. Disaster.
Anyway, it’s really too difficult, too difficult, too difficult to become an international superstar if you’re a single singer. After Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang discovered that Wang Xuan had such amazing singing skills, they felt that the entertainment industry was about to change. This was also because Wang Xuan had proven his acting skills in the "Actor" program.
At the same time, it is difficult for many people to become the King of Songs and the King of Actors, but it is much easier for Wang Xuan. Coupled with Wang Xuan's good looks and Wang Xuan's age, Wang Xuan can definitely embark on the route of becoming a film and television singer, gain exposure in Southeast Asia, increase his popularity, and compete for the top seven thrones.
This shows how difficult it is to increase the popularity to 25 million overnight without starting from scratch. It is simply impossible, but Wang Xuan did it!
In fact, there is a gradient between a singer-songwriter and movie-star star to an international superstar, which is called a super first-line superstar! A singer or actor with more than 30 million followers is also known as a super first-line superstar in the industry!
In terms of popularity and attention alone, Wang Xuan is now a top-notch superstar. The only thing missing is that he has not yet proven to be the King of Songs or the King of Movies.
But it’s also amazing!
Anyway, the industry was shocked, and netizens were also shocked and yelled.
"Oh my God! 31.3 million followers?"
"Damn it, Wang Xuan has entered the ranks of super-A-list superstars? It's too fast! It's too damn fast!"
"It's against the heavens, Wang Xuan is going to defy the heavens!"
"It's scary! It's really scary!"
"Overnight, from a third-tier artist to a super first-tier superstar, it's not as fast as a rocket ride!"
"Wait a minute, can anyone tell me what a super star is? Why do I sound so confused?"
"Does the guy upstairs really don't understand or is he just pretending not to understand?"
"I really don't understand. I didn't have any interest in the entertainment industry before. I only knew that star levels can be divided into low-level stars, third-tier stars, second-tier stars, first-tier stars, singers or movie kings, and international superstars. I didn't know there was another one. The words of a super A-list superstar."
"Me too. I liked Teacher Wang Xuan so much that I became interested in the entertainment industry. I was really not interested in celebrities in the entertainment industry before."
"Okay. Singing king-level and movie king-level stars are actually called first-line superstars in the industry. And those singers or movie kings with more than 30 million followers are also called super first-line superstars in the industry! Lin Rui was very popular last year, right? But In fact, Lin Rui's peak popularity is only 27 million followers, which is still 3 million followers away from being a top-tier superstar. After the music festival, Lin Rui held 8 concerts in major first-tier cities across the country, which only increased his followers by 1 million. In terms of popularity and attention, this shows how difficult it is to become a first-tier superstar."
"Wang Xuan is so awesome. This scene is probably unprecedented and unprecedented."
"Now I suddenly understand why Wang Xuan's personal Weibo homepage was suddenly paralyzed before. Its popularity surged by 25 million in a short period of time. It's strange that the system can react!"
"Wang Xuan YYDS!"
...
The industry was also in shock at this moment. They thought that Wang Xuan's popularity might grow hugely this time, possibly an unprecedented surge, but they didn't expect that he would actually rise so much!
Super A-list superstar! My mom, in China’s entertainment industry right now, there aren’t even five top-tier superstars, okay? Moreover, they are all stars in film, television and music circles, not a single singer.
Wang Xuan broke the precedent and became the first single singer in history to be a super first-line superstar.
The key is how old is Wang Xuan?
22 years old, a super star... I can't even imagine it, okay?
The media was also shocked, but after the shock, they were ecstatic. They sensed business opportunities, reports were overwhelming, and news was flying all over the sky.
"Wang Xuan ascends to the throne of a super star!" 》
"Super A-list Superstar, Unprecedented!" 》
"The man who caused the Weibo data system to crash"
"He's coming, he's coming, the entertainment industry is waiting to tremble!" 》
"Superstar, are you ready to meet that man?" 》
...
At this moment, TV, radio, newspapers, and news media websites were all reporting on Wang Xuan's sudden rise in popularity and his emergence as a super A-list superstar. There are countless comments below.
"It's awesome!"
"What's going on, I just slept in, and when I woke up, Wang Xuan became a super star?"
"Congratulations to Teacher Wang Xuan! This news is so exciting!"
"Wang Xuan is mighty!"
"Teacher Wang Xuan, work harder and attack the superstar!"
"Pfft, let's just forget about it, Superstar Uranus. This is too difficult."
"Why is it difficult? It may be difficult for others, but it is just like that for Wang Xuan. After all, Wang Xuan even managed to increase his popularity by 25 million overnight. Now Wang Xuan is only 9 million popularity away from the threshold of a superstar," he said Maybe it will be exceeded tomorrow.”
"No, it's really difficult. Don't underestimate the popularity of 9 million people. As time goes by, the popularity will increase more slowly. The popularity of other top-tier players has stagnated for a long time."
"I also think that Teacher Wang Xuan should not be too ambitious now. His popularity has just skyrocketed, but it is not yet stable. It is best to stabilize it now and establish a foothold as a super first-tier superstar."
"That's awesome!"
.....
It’s not just news reports with countless comments.
In major online forums, major blog sites, Moments, Weibo and even on the streets, wherever you can chat, the topic is all about Wang Xuan becoming a super star.
Wang Xuan has become a super first-line player, almost to the point of being hotly discussed by the whole people. Wang Xuan became a top-notch topic and soon became the hot search headlines, firmly occupying the hot search headlines.
Since Wang Xuan became a super star, Wang Xuan has received congratulations from many friends.
Zhu Xu, Li Tao, Chen Kai...all those who had a good relationship with Wang Xuan called Wang Xuan to congratulate him. Zhang Zheng, Su Yichang, Wang Xuan, etc., who had a good relationship with Wang Xuan, sent congratulatory messages on WeChat.
Li Yiqun, Wang Banbi, Liang Xiaoru, Hu Ge, Xiao Huihui, etc., whose relationship with Wang Xuan was only average for the time being, chose to send Wang Xuan text messages to congratulate him.
In addition to congratulating Wang Xuan on WeChat, Li Rulan also asked Wang Xuan's permission to have the publicity department of Yenching Conservatory of Music send a Weibo post. The content was naturally to congratulate Professor Wang Xuan, professor of the music department of Yenching Conservatory of Music, for becoming a super star. , the purpose is to brush up the presence of Yanjing Conservatory of Music.
One thing Wang Xuan didn't know was that some leaders of the Conservatory of Music had criticized him before, because it was Li Rulan's strong recommendation and the principal's strong recommendation that he become a full professor of the Yanjing Conservatory of Music. result.
But he didn't teach a single class to the students last semester. How could some school leaders have no objections?
But at this moment there was no more opinion.
That's a super A-list superstar!
There are only a few top-tier superstars in the entire entertainment industry? What's more, he is such a top-tier superstar as a singer-songwriter?
Baihu plus Wang Xuan, how many original songs have you created in the past year? How much knowledge of musical instruments is involved in those songs? Knowledge of lyrics, composition and arrangement? The original songs one after another have proved Wang Xuan's musical attainments, and it is definitely not a problem to be qualified as a music professor at Yanjing Conservatory of Music.
What's more, Yanjing Conservatory of Music doesn't need Wang Xuan to teach now, it just needs Wang Xuan to be the front man.
How attractive is a super A-list superstar original singer and top songwriter to students? Everyone who understands understands. With Wang Xuan as the front man, Yanjing Conservatory of Music will not have to worry about student recruitment issues in the future. The most important thing is that the talent level will skyrocket.
Previously, although Yanjing Conservatory of Music was also regarded as the number one higher art music conservatory in China, the gap with the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the Hua Guo Conservatory of Music was not that big.
But now that Wang Xuan is here, it is expected that the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the Huaguo Conservatory of Music will soon be separated by the Yanjing Conservatory of Music, and it will be soon for the Yanjing Conservatory of Music to become the only music conservatory in the country.
Because of this, how can the school leaders of Yanjing Conservatory of Music have any objections to Wang Xuan? It is almost enough to offer Wang Xuan as a living Bodhisattva.
...
In addition to Yanjing Conservatory of Music, Jinghua University has also made its presence known. The official Weibo posted a congratulatory message: Congratulations to Mr. Wang Xuan, an outstanding alumnus of the school, for becoming a super star.
Anyway, for Wang Xuan to become a super star, everyone has different reactions. Some are happy and some are worried.
The news media, Wang Xuan's relatives and friends, and Tianhai Entertainment are naturally on the happy side, while the major entertainment companies are on the sad side.
Again, the pie in the entertainment industry is only so big, so one piece is missing.
Wang Xuan has become a super star. Personally, it doesn't mean anything, but don't forget, Wang Xuan is Tianhai's boss. Super A-list superstars are already strong. Who can stop Tianhai's rise in the future?
Anyway, at this moment, the quasi-giant companies such as Huayi, Starry Sky, Great Wall, and Jinhui all felt a sense of crisis. Cheng Kun, Li Kai, Chen Hong, and Xu Zhi sat together again, and sat face to face in reality to discuss Countermeasures, discuss how to stop the rise of Tianhai.
After Wang Xuan became a super star, they really felt the threat of Tianhai.
If it is not stopped, Tianhai will become a disaster in the future!
After two days of deliberation, several people decided at the same time to suppress Tianhai's rise at all costs and strangle Tianhai's career path except the music scene. As for the music scene, there is really no way to suppress it.
Wang Xuan and Bai Hu have released sixty or seventy songs in the past year, each one is a classic, and every new song chart has overwhelmed the music world. How to suppress this? Definitely impossible!
The only thing they can do is to block other roads to Tianhai.
But enough! As long as Tianhai's other paths are blocked, no matter how high Tianhai's achievements in the music world are, so what? It's just a lame company that can't make any big waves.
