PS Chapter 55 – Confidence
[Original Innovation Power, Whale PK Theme Show]
[I overheard two beautiful songs and I want shared them with you.]
[This evening, at [Whale TV], we will meet with the Folk Prince Lu Fei, and listen to the most touching original folk songs.]
[Have you heard of Cindere and You At The Same Table?]
......
With the Lu army’srge-scale move, more and more promotional posts appeared on major popr BBS1, especially in the forums of anchor tforms. It also brushes out arge number of advertising posts.
Simr advertisements have also appeared in many ces, such as post bars, QQ groups and QQ circles. The advertisements include the promotion of [Whale TV] PK theme show and the links of Lu Chen’s two original songs.
There are many technical experts in the Lu Army fan group and they use posting robots to save time. Hundreds or even thousands of the same posts are sent at the same time. They use bo ounts of online shopping forrge-scale publicity.
Although it was just a spontaneously organized amateur “water army”2, but because of therge number of fans participating in the event, the promotion effect was still very good. Many people who idly surf the Inte on Saturdays were attracted, and they eventually knew that there will be an event held in the evening at [Whale TV] and that they should pay attention to Lu Fei’s live broadcasting room.
Of course, most posts were either blocked ruthlessly by moderators or group owners, or disappeared silently, but even if only one tenth or even one percent of them do their roles, they can still attract a lot of passers-by fans.
“You at The Same Table” and “Cindere“. Two original folk song, which are at least a ssic, make these advertisements very convincing and won’t make people curse their mothers after listening to them.
The Lu Army’s propaganda campaign reached its peak in the afternoon, and army members even had a fierce confrontation with other anchor fans in the [Whale TV] main forum, creating a heated atmosphere.
Li Bai personallymanded in Lu army’s QQ group, and red envelopes were flying all over the group, which greatly stimted the enthusiasm of the group members and fans to participate in the promotion, and became “tap water” one after another.
But all this has little to do with Lu Chen.
He was making final preparations for the live broadcast of the PK theme show on theputer to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Lu Chen’s current poprity index is the lowest among 24 PK’s [Whale TV] anchors, and his goal is to win within the top three, which is very difficult.
But Lu Chen believed that this was not entirely impossible.
Because the result of the anchor PK is based on the heat index, audience voting andmittee scoring. Although poprity is extremely important, it cannotpletely determine victory or defeat.
Lu Chen has a good understanding of his opponents, they are either the masters of popr games, or the popr figures of life and entertainment, each has its own characteristics and advantages.
For example, “Xiaogu”, a popr anchor of [Whale TV], is one of the top ten strategists in the popr online game “Star Overlord”. His live broadcast of apetition can attracts millions of fans to watch it live.
Life Show’s anchor, Qinger Bao, is a beautiful woman with a good figure and a sweet voice. Every night, she can attract millions of fish ball just to make her stay in front of theputer. She is called the first goddess of [Whale TV].
There are also “pure love brother”, “rain grid”, “SUN”... these strong opponents!
If Lu Chen wants to defeat him or her, he must have his own trump card.
His trump card is undoubtedly his original works.
In the two-hour PK theme show in the evening, Lu Chen is going to sing seven songs. In addition to “You at the Table“, “Cindere“, “Blue Lotus” and “Love Wind“, he will also bring out three new songs.
Seven original works that reach at least boutique level are Lu Chen’s weapon to sweep his opponents of the same level, and also the most powerful weapon to win the high score of themittee!
For this reason, Lu Chen spent a lot of time and energy in this week. A simple MV was made for all seven songs to match the live performance in the evening.
Lu Chen studiedputer science at Jianghai University. He studiedputer application. He is talented in his major. He has also studied art before. So, it was not difficult to make MV usingmon software.
MV video materials are all fromwork resources. After adding the lyrics and appropriate editing, it will undoubtedly be a big highlight when it finally be yed during the live broadcast.
Whale TV’s host tform supports synchronous video broadcasting. In order to ensure that everything is safe, Lu Chen needs to practice repeatedly in the background to ensure that the operation can be urate and in ce.
Now, like all the live room participating in the PK theme show, Lu Fei’s live broadcasting room is in a temporary closed state. All 24 anchors can’t open the live broadcasting channel until 8 p.m.
However, at 9:00 a.m., the front page of Whale TV was updated, releasing the theme covers of all 24 anchors. Viewers clicked on the cover to enter the anchor’s theme page, paying attention to and participating in chat and lottery activities.
The theme of Lu Chen’s live show is Graduation Season!
[Listening to the pure and beautiful campus folk songs, recalling the youthful past of the graduation season]
The term “campus folk song” has never appeared in the real world. In the past, folk songs are usually divided into lyric folk songs, nostalgic folk songs and rural folk songs. What used to be brilliant is now long past its prime.
In Lu Chen’s dream world, campus folk songs are popr because of people’s lives, but it also withers away soon.
Perhaps being grateful or holding a memorial service, Lu Chen decided to bring “campus folk song” to this world, letting it shine again!
Time, in the busy waiting, quietly past.
When it was dark, Lu Chen did not go out for dinner and just ordered takeout online.
His preparatory work has beenpleted. He is just waiting for the live broadcasting to begin. The number of audiences waiting in the Lu Fei live broadcasting room has reached 100,000 +, ranking 7th out of all 24 anchors!
Although there are still two hours to go before PK is officiallyunched, any ranking does not matter, but it also reflects the level of fan participation from the side.
Lu Chen’s high poprity is inseparable from the efforts of the Lu Army Corps.
In the Lu Army, thousands of fans came out and posted countless promotion on the Inte. They did not know how many IDs had been killed and how many IP had been blocked, but they brought arge number of passers-by fans and new audiences.
In addition, support activities have been carried out early in the group, and Li Bai has sent out 230,000 red envelopes around the time. Therefore, it is reasonable to have a strong poprity, otherwise he will simply admit defeat.
There was a lot of excitement in Lu army’s three groups. Lu Chen also participated in chatting and interacting with fans.
This kind ofmunication is very important. Unlike the real stars, thework anchors will be hated by their fans if the they show superior attitude. And some hardcore fans also like to see the anchors bubbling in the crowd.
At 7 p.m., one hour before the PK Theme Show began, Li Bai suddenly chatted.
Li Bai: “Boss, do you have confidence to be in the top 5 this evening?”
Lu Chen was stunned and said, “What’s wrong?”
Li Bai: “I bumped into an opponent and said that it is absolutely impossible for you to be in the top 5, and made a bet with me.”
Li Bai: “It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose, but If I lose to him, you will lose face. So, I’m asking you.”
Lu Chen knows that anyone that can bet with this local tyrant is definitely not an ordinary person. His apparent disadvantage is still very obvious. It is must be said that for him to aim at the top 5, others will naturally think that he’s overreaching himself.
Li Bai was certainly not convinced, but he does not have full assurance, so he came to ask Lu Chen.
He just wants to look for some confidence.
Since you need confidence, then I will give you confidence!
Lu Chen did not hesitate and immediately answered, “Of course I have confidence. What about you?”
After arriving at this point, he will not concede to anybody, even if his opponents are strong, he will fight to the end.
Lu Chen’s goal, is to be within the top 3!
Li Bai: “If you have confidence, then I have confidence. Isn’t it just 100,000 yuan? I will bet with him!”
100 thousand yuan!
Lu Chen was a little speechless. He didn’t understand the world of a local tyrant.
When his family was rich, his allowance was only a few thousand dors a month.
Lu Chen suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
...
At 8 pm, the live broadcast opened automatically.
[Whale TV] PK Theme Show Competition has officially started!

To exin what water army means: This is taken from https://.meiyixia/yule/dianying/19545.html:
“Tap water” is derived from the onlinenguage “Shui Jun”, the same meaning as “spontaneous water army.” The term “Shui Jun” was originally derogatory. It means that some stars hired some marketing numbers or bought Weibo to increase their poprity in order to promote themselves and their own TV dramas.
The concept of “tap water” was firstunched from the time when “War Wolf” was released. The movie “War Wolf” is the originator of “Tap Water.” Because the plot and content of the film is so great, manyizens spontaneously call for the movie, volunteer to promote the film, and willingly be a member of the “Shui Jun.” Later, after the word of mouth of theizens, “tap water” gradually be a buzzword.
The emergence of the “tap water” online buzzword not only highlights the excellence of some movie, but also reflects the maturity of the film audience...”2
