South Korean netizens are collectively outraged!
In this day and age, South Korea has always been hostile to China, mainly because China possesses the cultural heritage and vast land that South Korea dreams of having.
This is a major reason why South Korea always tries to compare itself to China in everything, but after a round of comparisons, it loses completely, which leads to a deep-seated inferiority complex in them.
But they never admit it, and even go so far as to brainwash the entire nation, often doing things that make the world laugh and cry.
At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng's unparalleled strength once again shattered their ridiculous sense of supreme power.
As a result, some extreme South Korean netizens started hurling insults online.
Within hours of the party ending, the internet exploded like an information bomb, with topics about Xiao Qingfeng spreading at an astonishing speed, instantly breaking multiple records in terms of popularity.
Entertainment media outlets, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to publish special reports on Xiao Qingfeng's outstanding performance at the gala on their own websites and social media accounts.
The article titles were increasingly eye-catching, ranging from "Xiao Qingfeng: A Chinese Superstar Who Conquered the World with Music" to "How Did Xiao Qingfeng Shock the Audience with a Divine Song?" and so on.
Every report detailed every exciting moment of the gala, from Long Quanzhi's kneeling to the unreasonable antics of South Korean artists, and Xiao Qingfeng's exhilarating song, leaving nothing out.
The accompanying pictures are even more diverse, including photos of Xiao Qingfeng shining brightly on stage, and images of audience members moved to tears, their faces, whether young or weathered, filled with pride and excitement.
These reports quickly garnered a large number of clicks and shares online, with the comment sections buzzing with activity.
"I've watched that video so many times, and I get incredibly excited every time. Xiao Qingfeng is amazing!"
"This is a true star, talented and with national integrity, worthy of our admiration!"
This wave of enthusiasm did not stop at entertainment media. CCTV-1 News reported on the incident in a serious and solemn tone, emphasizing the cultural value and national spirit carried by Xiao Qingfeng's songs, and calling him a "contemporary hero".
The report points out that in today's increasingly frequent international cultural exchanges, Xiao Qingfeng uses his music to showcase the profoundness of Chinese culture and the resilience of the Chinese nation to the world. His actions have a far-reaching significance in enhancing national pride and cultural confidence.
The Beijing News Agency's report provided an in-depth analysis from the perspective of cultural dissemination, praising Xiao Qingfeng as "the backbone of China."
The article mentions that when faced with jealousy and hostility towards Chinese culture from some people in South Korea, Xiao Qingfeng responded with a powerful song. This approach not only defended the dignity of Chinese culture but also earned it respect on the international stage.
"Military Vanguard" interprets Xiao Qingfeng's actions from the perspective of national spirit and military spirit, and bestows upon him the title of "National Integrity".
The article states that Xiao Qingfeng's songs are like bugles on the battlefield, awakening the deep-seated national sentiments of the Chinese people.
On the cultural battlefield, his music is not only entertainment, but also a force, inspiring every Chinese person to forge ahead in the face of challenges.
As Xiao Qingfeng's unit, the General Art Troupe was lavish in its praise of its own people, giving high marks to Xiao Qingfeng's performance.
They praised Xiao Qingfeng as a role model in the arts, whose works embody a perfect blend of art and national sentiment.
On Weibo, hashtags such as #XiaoQingfeng#, #TheLightOfChineseMusic#, and #RepresentativeOfNationalSpirit# have all topped the trending list, with hundreds of millions of discussions under these hashtags, and netizens expressing their opinions.
On Douyin, clips of Xiao Qingfeng's performance at the gala were shared by countless users, with likes and comments breaking the platform's historical records.
Many users also imitated Xiao Qingfeng's performance, interpreting the impact of the song in their own way.
Internationally, some media outlets focusing on Asian culture have also begun to report on the incident. They expressed amazement at Xiao Qingfeng's musical talent and the Chinese culture showcased in his songs, considering it a successful cultural demonstration that gave the world a new understanding of Chinese culture.
Previously, Xiao Qingfeng's influence and reputation were limited to China, but after this incident, he quickly became the focus of attention throughout Asia and even the world, and even became a dazzling symbol of Chinese culture.
In a dimly lit, somber atmosphere, a conference room on the top floor of a luxurious office building in a bustling metropolis was filled with tension.
Ko Chia-lung sat at the head of the conference table. He was an important representative of South Korean capital in China, and his eyes revealed a sinister and dissatisfied look.
Seated around the conference table were executives from several media companies controlled by South Korean capital, as well as representatives from other capital groups who had joined for profit.
Ke Jialong broke the silence first, his voice low and cold: "Xiao Qingfeng has gone too far this time. His actions have seriously damaged our interests. That song caused South Korea to lose miserably in cultural competition and also triggered international questioning of our cultural industry. We cannot let him continue to act so recklessly."
A senior executive from a media company, wearing glasses, chimed in, "That's right. His influence is currently at its peak, posing a huge threat to us. In particular, the high praise he receives from mainstream media makes his position in the public eye almost unshakeable. If we don't take action, all our previous efforts in the Chinese market will be in vain."
Another obese representative frowned and said, "But he has the General Art Troupe behind him. We can't openly deal with him, or we'll get burned."
Ke Jialong sneered: "Of course we can't take a hard line. We need to implement a soft blockade and gradually weaken his influence. First, the media resources we control must stop all positive coverage of him and reduce his popularity."
“That’s not enough,” added a media professional with South Korean capital background.
"We can use our entertainment media outlets to write negative reviews, nitpicking his musical style and performance skills to guide public opinion. But we need to be careful with our wording and avoid being too obvious to prevent public backlash."
Ke Jialong nodded in agreement: "Yes, we need to do it subtly. Also, we can restrict him in various ways. For example, we can refuse to provide him with performance venues that we have cooperative relationships with, and we can ask some brands that have business dealings with us to cancel their cooperation plans with Xiao Qingfeng."
At this moment, a cunning-looking person proposed a sinister plan: "We can create some rumors online, such as false information that Xiao Qingfeng's works are plagiarized, and hire some online trolls to spread them widely on major social media platforms to confuse the public."
Upon hearing this, everyone revealed sinister smiles.
That's how the entertainment industry works. It doesn't need evidence. Spreading rumors is easy, but refuting them is exhausting. It's not that the rumors are fake, it's that they're too numerous. As long as there are enough rumors, they can create endless trouble for Xiao Qingfeng, keeping him busy dealing with them.
Capital has never failed to destroy a person if it wants to.
A hint of smugness flashed in Ke Jialong's eyes: "That's a good idea, but we need to be meticulous and not let these rumors be easily exposed."
"At the same time, we must pay close attention to the General Art Troupe's reaction. If they take any action, we must adjust our strategy accordingly."
On the other side of the conference room, a middle-aged man who had been silent until now slowly spoke up: "We also need to pay attention to the emotions of the Chinese people. Xiao Qingfeng has now become a symbol of national pride. If our actions are too radical, it may provoke a strong backlash from the Chinese people. Therefore, we must be cautious with every step we take."
After a moment of contemplation, Ke Jialong said, "President Park, you're right. We need to infiltrate slowly and gradually change the public's impression of Xiao Qingfeng. In addition, it's time to push some South Korean girl groups into the Chinese market and let these women undermine the will of Chinese men. I believe no one can escape the temptation of beauty."
......
In this conspiracy, in addition to South Korean capital and the media companies it controls, there are also some smaller capital players with vested interests in them.
Some of these small investors wanted to curry favor with South Korean capital to gain more international resources, while others were jealous that Xiao Qingfeng's rise threatened the development of their artists.
Behind this lies the shadow of American capital.
American capital has long sought to counterbalance the development of Chinese culture in the Asian cultural market through South Korean capital.
Seeing Xiao Qingfeng's success on the international cultural stage, they worried that it would enhance the influence of Chinese culture and thus affect their global cultural strategy.
Therefore, they secretly supported this campaign to suppress Xiao Qingfeng, hoping to curb the momentum of Chinese cultural exports.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qingfeng returned to his Qingfeng Media and then made phone calls to a number of his friends in the entertainment industry, including superstar Liu Huade, superstar Mei Fei, and music industry veteran Han Hong.
Having lived two lives, Xiao Qingfeng was all too familiar with the tricks of capital. Now that this matter had blown up so much, he knew that it wouldn't be long before a revenge against him would come.
Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to strike first.
In a secluded private club in the city, the soft, warm lighting contrasts sharply with the conspiracies and intrigues outside.
Xiao Qingfeng sat on the comfortable sofa, his expression solemn but his eyes resolute.
Before long, a group of friends from the entertainment industry, including superstar Liu Huade, superstar Mei Fei, and pop diva Han Hong, arrived one after another.
The group sat together, and a tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the air.
Xiao Qingfeng looked around at the familiar faces and slowly said, "Thank you for coming. I've gathered you all here today because I'm facing some trouble, which I'm sure you've all heard about."
Liu Huade frowned: "Qingfeng, you mean those underhanded tactics by South Korean capital? We all know about them. Your performance at the gala this time was a great honor for Chinese culture. It really made them look bad!"
Xiao Qingfeng nodded slightly: "That's right. This time, it's not just me personally who was attacked. I feel that this is an attack on the export of Chinese culture."
"For a long time, we have been in a passive position to receive cultural exports from countries such as South Korea, the United States, and Japan. Our young people listen to their pop music, watch their idol dramas, and idolize their stars, but our Chinese culture, which has such a profound cultural heritage, has not received the dissemination and attention it deserves."
A hint of anger flashed in Meifei's eyes: "Yes, every time I see foreign cultures spreading rampantly in our country, I feel terrible. We Chinese have so many excellent traditional cultural elements, but we haven't made good use of them."
Xiao Qingfeng continued, "This time I want to do something big, something big in retaliation. I want to launch a cultural counter-export campaign to show the true charm of Chinese culture to those countries that have been unilaterally exporting their culture to us. But this is something I can't accomplish alone. I need you, I need more influential people to participate."
Han Hong straightened up: "Qingfeng, what's your plan? Tell us, we're all listening. We'll do anything that benefits Chinese culture."
......
Xiao Qingfeng was well aware that in order to carry out cultural reverse export, he needed to expand his own influence and let more foreigners know about him.
Only when you gain international recognition will your every move attract the attention of foreign netizens.
As a singer, Xiao Qingfeng ultimately decided to start with his songs to increase his popularity in a short period of time.
So Xiao Qingfeng posted a Weibo message: "Dear friends, I will be going into seclusion for seven days. There will be a surprise after seven days!"
Given Xiao Qingfeng's current popularity and influence, his every move attracts attention, and sure enough, the Weibo post caused a sensation instantly.
The Weibo server experienced a brief slowdown within minutes of the message being posted due to a surge in traffic.
The number of likes, reposts, and comments on this Weibo post skyrocketed at an astonishing rate. The netizens' enthusiasm was like a volcanic eruption, utterly unstoppable.
"Xiao Qingfeng is going into seclusion? This means he's planning something big!"
"A surprise in seven days? My God, I can't wait! I probably won't be able to sleep for the next few days."
"No matter what it is, I believe in Brother Xiao. He never lets us down."
On major entertainment forums and social groups, the topic of Xiao Qingfeng's seclusion quickly became the top trending topic.
Chinese media outlets, as if injected with adrenaline, began reporting and analyzing the matter.
The headlines of entertainment news were almost entirely dominated by this news about Xiao Qingfeng. Reporters tried to contact Xiao Qingfeng's agent or staff members to get more inside information, but all their efforts were in vain.
Internationally, media outlets focusing on Asian culture and Chinese music have also begun reporting on the event, and some foreign netizens have also developed a strong interest in this mysterious "surprise" after seeing the reports.
On some international social media platforms, news of Xiao Qingfeng's seclusion began to spread, and many foreign fans and music lovers were eagerly anticipating what kind of shock this music superstar from China would bring to the world in seven days.
As time went by, netizens' anticipation and anxiety grew stronger.
Every day felt like a year, and more and more versions of speculation emerged. Some even joked that Xiao Qingfeng might be in seclusion practicing some musical secrets in order to break through the limits of human music.
Finally, amidst the eager anticipation of hundreds of millions of netizens, the seventh day has arrived.
