Chapter 42 Xiao Qingfeng's Counterattack

Amidst the uproar in public opinion, Jing Chenxi seemed completely unaffected.

The day after the competition ended, he appeared at a visit to cancer patients, wearing a warm smile, interacting with them, and presenting them with carefully prepared gifts.

This move was quickly reported by the media, and fans left comments and likes.

"Xixi is so loving, I'll always support you!"

"This is the kind of idol we should follow. Go Jing Chenxi!"

"Jing Chenxi not only sings well, but he's also so kind-hearted. Those who criticize him have no conscience at all!"

"A person with a strong heart will not be defeated by insults and slander. Xixi, we will always support you!"

"This visit showed me Jing Chenxi's sincerity, and I will always support him!"

"Those who say bad things about Jing Chenxi, look at what he has done for cancer patients. Doesn't that prove his excellence?"

"Jing Chenxi is a true positive role model. No matter what others say, I firmly believe in him!"

"This incident has not affected Jing Chenxi's kindness in the slightest. He is still the idol we are proud of!"

"Jing Chenxi, your love and courage will make you stronger and stronger. We will always be your support!"

With the strong support of his fans, Jing Chenxi's image seems to be showing some signs of recovery.

Following closely behind, an article titled "Analyzing Jing Chenxi's 'Cancer': The Profound Meaning Behind Its Unique Artistic Expression" became a trending topic. The author was none other than Ding Bu'er, a well-known music critic in the industry, who is known for his uncompromising and authoritative style.

In the article, Ding Bu'er pointed out that Jing Chenxi's "Cancer" is a highly innovative and challenging musical work that uniquely portrays the pain and struggle that cancer brings.

As for the original intention of creating this song, Jing Chenxi aimed to use music to raise people's awareness and reflection on the heavy topic of cancer.

Cancer, as a disease that seriously threatens human life and health, not only brings enormous physical pain to patients, but also causes great mental anguish.

Jing Chenxi hopes to use the language of music to let more people understand the physical and mental suffering experienced by cancer patients.

His choice of a manic performance style has a deep underlying meaning. This seemingly exaggerated, even extreme, way of expression is actually intended to more powerfully convey the pain and fear brought about by cancer.

Through distorted voices and exaggerated physical movements, Jing Chenxi attempts to visualize the unspeakable pain, allowing listeners to more intuitively feel the horror and ruthlessness of cancer.

In terms of emotional expression, the song "Cancer" is not merely a simple presentation of pain, but also contains a sense of awe for life and a deep appreciation for health.

Jing Chenxi, in an almost shouting manner, called on people to cherish the present and pay attention to their own health, while also expressing deep sympathy and support for those who are fighting cancer.

Although the song's presentation style may make some listeners uncomfortable, it is precisely this unconventional artistic approach that makes it a work with profound meaning and strong impact.

It allows people to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the real-world challenge of cancer through the world of music.

It is important to note that the understanding and feelings about a work of art vary from person to person, and everyone may gain different experiences and insights from "Cancer".

At the end of the article, Ding Bu'er pointed out that we should be inclusive in our approach to artistic creation, as only in this way can we promote the progress of the Chinese music scene.

As soon as the article was published, Jing Chenxi's fans went wild, reposting and commenting on it one after another.

In just half a day, it was reposted over a million times and received over ten million comments!

Jing Chenxi's online popularity soared to number one and continued to rise, once again demonstrating the power of Jing Chenxi and his team.

However, just when Jing Chenxi seemed to have successfully turned the tide, many netizens were still not convinced.

One netizen bluntly pointed out: "Jing Chenxi's 'Cancer' is extremely awful. Many people vomited during the last live performance. Can this be called art?"

"Is this mass vomiting incident just being ignored? This song is nothing but noise pollution!"

"The so-called visit to cancer patients is nothing but a show; they will stop at nothing to whitewash it."

"Bought online trolls and hired music critics to praise him, what real substance does Jing Chenxi have left?"

"This kind of forced whitewashing is too clumsy. Do they think everyone is stupid?"

"It's a fact that the song is bad, and no amount of trying to change that can change it."

"The showmanship is too obvious, which makes me even more disgusted with him."

......

While the two opposing viewpoints were arguing endlessly, Xiao Qingfeng, one of the triggers for this incident, was not spared either, and was subjected to fierce slander and abuse from Jing Chenxi's fans.

"Xiao Qingfeng is a hypocrite, his character is terrible, why is he pretending to be a good person!"

"His singing skills are terrible, he won first place? It's a joke! His voice is awful, and he has absolutely no technique!"

"Xiao Qingfeng has no real ability; he relies entirely on luck and hype. Otherwise, how could he have gotten the chance to stand out!"

"All they do is try to stir up emotions and gain sympathy; they have no real talent!"

"His so-called original songs are probably written by someone else for a fee, yet he has the nerve to call them his own works!"

"Xiao Qingfeng is a fraud; he'll be exposed sooner or later!"

"People with no class and no talent shouldn't be on stage; they're just polluting the audience's ears!"

These insulting and abusive remarks spread rampantly online, causing Xiao Qingfeng great distress and pressure.

However, some rational netizens also stood up to speak out for Xiao Qingfeng.

"Xiao Qingfeng's hard work and talent should not be denied because of the behavior of his fans."

"Xiao Qingfeng's singing skills and songwriting abilities are obvious to all and should not be maliciously slandered."

"This kind of mindless attack only makes Jing Chenxi's fans seem to lack manners."

......

However, Jing Chenxi's team did far more than that in order to clear his name. They even hired online trolls to slander and accuse Hunan TV and "Singer Who Makes Waves," questioning whether the program team was involved in shady dealings and that this ranking was deliberately designed to smear their own artist.

Hunan TV and the "Singer Who Makes Waves" program team responded quickly to these accusations. They released a statement detailing the competition rules and voting process to demonstrate the fairness and transparency of the competition.

The statement emphasized that every step was strictly monitored and recorded, and there was absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Hiring online trolls to accuse the show of being rigged was originally a move by Jing Chenxi's PR team. As long as they could divert attention, they didn't care about anything else.

Their real target is Xiao Qingfeng. After all, the whole thing started because of Xiao Qingfeng, so they won't let him off easily.

Just as Jing Chenxi's fans and online trolls were escalating their accusations and insults against Xiao Qingfeng, someone suddenly revealed Xiao Qingfeng's relationship with Mi Qi'er online, claiming that the reason was that Xiao Qingfeng wanted to buy cosmetics for Mi Qi'er.

This revelation undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making the online storm even more chaotic, and of course, it also successfully diverted the attention of some netizens.

Two days have passed since the rumors of Xiao Qingfeng pursuing Mi Qi'er broke, but neither Xiao Qingfeng nor Mi Qi'er has responded to them!

On the third day, just as Jing Chenxi and his team were gloating over Xiao Qingfeng's complete surrender, Xiao Qingfeng finally launched his counterattack.

A 4-minute and 30-second cartoon music video was first released on Xiao Qingfeng's social media account, with the caption:

"Welcome to enjoy my new song @JingChenxi @JingChenxiStudio".
