TL: Hua
With the heat of the live broadcast, the popularity of Super Idol program the next day was unprecedented.
Especially the viewers who hadn’t watched the live stream on Friday were scratching their heads in anticipation, desperate to see the video with their own eyes to satisfy their curiosity, based on everyone’s descriptions and the screenshots.
Meanwhile, even the viewers who had watched the live stream wanted to quickly rewatch the highlights from the previous night.
After all, the live stream was a one-time thing with no rewind function. To relive the moments, they had to rely entirely on imagination.
Moreover, the live version and the final edited version would have completely different effects.
While the live broadcast offered a sense of participation, the professionally edited version would have richer content and more polished visuals.
Most importantly, the edited video would include more scenes that were not visible during the live broadcast, and the audience was very eager to see them.
So, early the next morning, fans flocked to the official Super Idol Weibo to urge for updates.
[Are you there? You MUST keep the segment between Gu Siye and Yanran from last night completely intact, understand?]
[Besides that segment, I also want to see their other interactions, hehe.]
[The ‘hehe’ from the person upstairs is very telling.]
[I also want to hear the original song at the end of Yanran’s group’s VCR. Hurry up and release it for the audience to see who played it.]
[There are still twelve hours until 8 p.m. It’s too long to wait. Song Yingming, I command you to immediately release 100 more episodes!]
[Release 100 more episodes +1]
The official Weibo, which usually had only a few hundred interactions, suddenly received close to ten thousand comments from demanding viewers.
However, no matter how much the fans urged, the Super Idol production team stubbornly stuck to their schedule, updating the video at 8 p.m.
Exactly at 8 p.m., after the video was updated, a massive wave of viewers poured in right on time.
Yet, those who rushed in on the dot discovered that they were still a few seconds too slow with their internet speed.
Right at the beginning of the video, a large number of ‘announcers’ had already surfaced to guide everyone.
[116:39 Don’t watch and regret it]
[116:39 I just watched it and came back]
[116:39 *Hiss* Hiss]
[116:39 One more billion times]
The audience quickly skipped to that timestamp and found that this segment was the one where Gu Siye and Lin Yanran demonstrated the acting scene for the trainees.
Unlike the short snippet shown during the live broadcast, the main episode edited the before and after parts more completely, including the part where Lin Yanran leaned on Gu Siye’s shoulder and his expression when he looked up to wipe his lipstick during the final reversal.
Compared to that brief moment during the live broadcast, this complete scene was much more exciting and engaging.
Watching the part in the video where Lin Yanran, with smeared lips, looked at the camera, the audience’s tears of excitement streamed out from the corners of their mouths.
The entire video’s bullet comments were dominated by various “Ahhh, wife” and “I’m the lipstick, I was there, they definitely kissed” messages.
In addition, the production team also included a few brief shots showing the process of Lin Yanran rearranging Truth.
They originally thought that since Ye Xiyuan struggled so much to rearrange the song in the previous VCR, Lin Yanran must have had a hard time as well.
Who knew that after watching the main episode, they learned that what was so difficult for Ye Xiyuan was extremely easy for Lin Yanran?
And it was only through the words of Xia Xingxing and the original group members that everyone belatedly realized that the wildly popular “Not Me” from the first public performance was also a last-minute arrangement made by Lin Yanran.
[Yanran has some talent for rearrangement, indeed]
[I’m kneeling down in admiration]
Just as the audience realized that Lin Yanran was genuinely skilled at arrangement, the production team immediately released a small snippet of the improvised rearrangement of “Love Poem” that Lin Yanran did to help Ye Xiyuan…
One time could be a coincidence, but completing it so excellently two or three times definitely proved a solid foundation.
Listening to the refreshing melody Lin Yanran played on the guitar, the audience, who had been deliberately kept in the dark by the production team, could no longer contain themselves.
[What kind of treasure is Yanran!]
[Why is he so amazing?]
[An impromptu strum can sound this good]
[Yanran, please go into professional arranging, I beg you!]
[Ahhh, this “Love Poem” sounds so moving. Can we get a full Yanran version!]
In these few segments, the entire bullet comment section focused on Lin Yanran.
On the stage of Super Idol, Lin Yanran was not the protagonist.
Yet, every time the audience watched the video, they could always discover his new strengths through various small details.
Unknowingly, their attention was involuntarily drawn to him, the mentor.
Consequently, after the video update, hashtags like #GuSiyeYanran, #YanranLovePoem, and #YanranTruthArrangement were once again on hot search.
It was not easy for a minor celebrity like Lin Yanran, who didn’t have the same level of fan traffic as others, to have so many topics trending overnight.
The fan circle girls all thought this was probably the peak of Lin Yanran’s hot searches.
However, when they opened the Weibo trending topics list, they discovered that besides these, there were other trending topics about Yanran.
#YanranGuzhengIsAmazing#
#YanranTheBusinessGenius#
#IAlsoWantToLieDownAndWinWithYanran#
Everyone clicked on the topics with curiosity and found that, at the exact same time Super Idol aired online that evening, the first episode of the variety show Incredible Journey, produced by Song Yingming’s good friend Zhang Shanfeng, also premiered on Strawberry TV at 8 p.m.
This lighthearted travel variety show aimed at the general public immediately exploded in ratings with its first episode.
The ratings surpassed 2, completely crushing the ratings of all other variety shows airing at the same time, securely holding the number one spot!
Zhang Shanfeng and Song Yingming came from the same school. They were also the type that only shows a little during the live stream and cuts off at the crucial moments, driving you crazy.
So, viewers who had only caught half of the live stream before finally saw the aftermath of Lin Yanran selling his paintings and their travel content in France the next day through the TV broadcast.
After watching, the audience and the fans of the several regular guests were all utterly impressed by Lin Yanran, the guest star.
In particular, the scene where Lin Yanran was playing the Guzheng in an ethereal manner interspersed with Gao Zitai bitterly greeting guests at the entrance, making the show effect explode and was jokingly called the famous scene by everyone.
[Gao Zitai’s inner monologue at this moment: We are different~ different~]
[Hahaha, Yanran, you must be the production team’s bug]
[Seriously, I really want to own one of Teacher Yanran’s paintings]
[Yanran is truly a little genius, using the show’s wages to exchange for goods. I think Zhang Shanfeng must be spitting blood from anger, hahahaha]
[Thank you, Yanran, for sharing the wages so my An An could buy back that silk scarf. If he hadn’t bought it back, he really wouldn’t have been able to sleep.]
[LOL, the famous scene of Gao Zitai getting slapped in the face and truly appreciating it later makes me laugh every time I watch it.]
Lin Yanran was obviously just a guest star, but because of his presence, Incredible Journey became much more interesting to watch.
Although he had already gained popularity online for his Guzheng playing before, that was limited to young people who frequently surfed the internet.
But this time, the show was broadcast on a satellite channel, one of the most popular first-tier TV stations, reaching a larger audience and a wider age range.
Especially the middle-aged demographic, who control the TV remote controls and already have a deep connection to traditional culture, were deeply impressed by Lin Yanran—young, handsome, and so skilled at the guzheng.
Thus, overnight, the simultaneous success of the two shows Lin Yanran participated in brought him into the public eye.
The satellite TV show made him popular among the general public.
The Super Idol stage made him popular in the fan circle.
The video with Gu Siye made him popular in the niche CP circle.
He covered all bases, achieving an all-around success.
Not only that, several of his works became instantly popular overnight.
On one of the largest short video platforms, the clip of him playing Farewell on the guzheng was imitated by many internet celebrities and quickly went viral.
In addition to the Guzheng clip, his arrangements of Truth and Love Poem were also used by everyone as background music for short videos.
For those few days, every time people opened the short video platform, it seemed like the videos they scrolled through were all dominated by Lin Yanran.
Under this overwhelming exposure, Lin Yanran’s rearranged song “Truth” lived up to expectations, directly soaring to the number one spot on the music platform’s trending chart and hot songs chart. The momentum was unstoppable.
Even the unarranged version of Love Poem that Ye Xiyuan released before joining Super Idol was boosted, entering the best-selling charts.
However, Ye Xiyuan’s version was indeed quite inferior compared to Lin Yanran’s.
But due to video length constraints, the production team only released a short snippet of Love Poem, leaving everyone wanting more after listening to just a little bit.
But the knowledgeable audience always has plenty of ways.
Seeing the edited snippet, they knew the production team had the full version, so netizens went to Super Idol official account to urge for the release of the behind-the-scenes footage of that segment.
[Song Yingming, are you not up to the task? Look at your friend, Zhang Shanfeng, how actively he’s operating. Three Guzheng pieces by Yanran couldn’t fit in the show, so he immediately supplemented them with BTS footage. He’s so considerate of the audience! Now look at you!! I’ve been waiting for you for 16 hours, 32 minutes, and 47 seconds, and you haven’t even managed to squeeze out the full version of “Love Poem” yet!]
[Song Yingming, don’t say I didn’t tell you, your friend Zhang Shanfeng just released the outtake of Yanran selling his paintings to the little boy!]
[Forget it, Song Yingming. I think you should hand over the title of the number one variety show director in the domestic entertainment industry to Zhang Shanfeng. He knows how to stir up excitement much better than you.]
[Director Song, aren’t you going to release ten behind-the-scenes in one go to salvage your title of the number one variety show director in the domestic entertainment industry, which you only just won 36 hours ago?]
Song Yingming, who logged onto Weibo, immediately saw these comments.
Goodness me.
These fans are truly ruthless.
Just two days ago, they buttered him up as the number one variety show director because they wanted to see the segment with Gu Siye and Yanran.
Now, before he even settled into the position, they turned their backs and handed the title directly to Old Zhang next door.
A man can be killed but not humiliated.
In order to defend his title as the number one variety show director and prevent Zhang Shanfeng, that scheming guy, from snatching it away, Song Yingming immediately called the post-production team.
A few hours later, the behind-the-scenes footage of Super Idol began updating rapidly, one after another, at ten-minute intervals.
However, the production team did not release behind-the-scenes footage of the trainees this time; all the updates were about Lin Yanran.
They not only released the full version of Love Poem played by Lin Yanran, but they also deliberately cut the footage to include the scene of Gu Siye standing at the door watching Lin Yanran play the guitar.
The post-production team also thoughtfully added some pure first-love-type special effects.
Thus, one was playing, and the other was watching, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.
Not only that, but Song Yingming pulled out a big move by also airing the previously unaired clip of Gu Siye giving Lin Yanran eye drops in the makeup room before the performance.
Seeing this final unplayed behind-the-scenes, the CP fans completely lost their composure.
[Is this something I can watch without paying?]
[Song Yingming, you are so dedicated.]
[Admit it, Song Yingming, you are the leader of the Siyan CP fan club.]
