Another group may have truly never heard of them even once.
Every once in a while, a big wave of people on Douyin would become irrelevant.
Someone named Li, Yang, or from Northeast...
Each has tens of millions of followers, top internet celebrities who’ve been popular for years.
Yet, many people only realize there’s such a person when they’ve become irrelevant.
The current situation is somewhat similar.
Moon Cat Fans are surprised, how can there be people in Tian Chao who’ve never even mentioned "Moonlight and Cat" at all? They seriously doubt if they’re just walking 500k followers.
But indeed, a whole bunch of them has surfaced.
Even more than they imagined...
When a large number of netizens found out that De Pu’s new spokespersons were a pair of obscure musicians who started as Douyin influencers...
The level of discussion immediately skyrocketed!
In the eyes of most Inner Entertainment fans.
Stars are much more prestigious than internet celebrities.
Although in normal people’s view, they might be almost the same.
But as soon as they hear "started from Douyin,"
That snobbery kicks in.
It’s like, with the same looks.
If someone looks good on Douyin, because they’re influencers, they’ll be labeled as "juvenile aesthetics," "cheap looks," "low-grade at a glance."
But if they’re a star, their looks instantly become "high-level!"
The label "immortal sister" and the like are quickly slapped on.
[Huh? Internet celebrity endorsement, I see De Pu has also sunsetted, fallen to such a point.]
[Can’t choose spokespersons, then don’t choose them, 18 years old, do they have this image? No capability! You know?]
[I’m fed up, my brother works so hard, and still can’t beat you guys with resources and background!]
Under these comments, naturally there are plenty of reasonable folks showing up, saying some fair words.
Of course, we Moon Cat Fans are all reasonable folks.
[Internet your mom, didn’t you see the three big characters "musician"?]
[No, liking a star gets superior, you those actors, this life don’t even come close to us classical musicians, know? Actors don’t deserve it!]
[It’s De Pu asking Mr. Moonlight and Miss Cat, show some respect!]
One mouthful "star," one mouthful "actor," it hits the fan circle girls’ backbone.
For a moment, sayings like "You’re just sour," "loser don’t make false claims," and so on kept appearing.
Below the comment section, both sides are arguing fiercely.
Watching this scene on his phone, Lin Tian originally wanted to say something.
But then he turned to see his phone’s backend, the video views from Douyin and Bilibili were rapidly increasing.
It seems, even though some people are cursing, the "silent" majority is still the majority.
Lin Tian sighed a little.
There’s a saying that goes...
——At the present, 20% of people on the internet make 80% of the noise.
Some people’s voices are loud, they lead trends online.
But it doesn’t mean their voices are truth, represent the mainstream view.
Because there are 80% more who remain silent.
For instance, it’s well-known that Weibo’s gender ratio is 1:10.
But many official media often pay more attention to Weibo’s evaluations, plus females themselves prefer "grouping" and voicing their opinions.
This leads to, at present, the influence of female opinions in many aspects is indeed far greater than males.
But it doesn’t mean louder voices are correct.
The same goes for now.
Though there’s a lot of buzz about "Moonlight and Cat" online.
Most people, due to this official announcement on Weibo, are headed to learn about "Moonlight and Cat."
And Lin Tian is confident.
To convert those who come to learn about them into his fans.
No wonder He Zhichen strongly recommended he take the endorsement.
Looking at it this way, indeed this massive exposure creates an energy far outweighing any negative influence.
These insulting remarks are still very noisy, so annoying to hear.
Lin Tian has probably gotten used to it too.
So it can be said that from the moment Moonlight and Cat was born, it was destined to always be accompanied by "criticism" and "slander."
After all, within half a year, it has achieved such fame and status.
Such a cheat-like creative career, looking at ancient and modern times worldwide, being cursed and doubted has never been in short supply.
However, as the hot topic on Weibo continued due to this official announcement...
By the afternoon, everyone stopped arguing.
Because, right after De Pu’s official announcement...
In less than two hours...
The endorsement poster was promptly released!
It’s a nine-square grid, nine pictures.
On the images are the photo shoots of "Moonlight and Cat" for this endorsement event!
The fan girl war-raging angrily scolding De Pu for brain tumors under the previous Weibo...
Upon seeing the photo of the boy named "Moonlight" in the nine-square grid...
For a moment... everyone fell silent.
