Chapter 194: 194 – Repercussion
The response to the video went as well as I thought it would.
During the course of the video, the number of viewers went from 80,000 to 130,000, which ant that the number of subscribers to my channel went up rapidly!
Not only did my subscribers increase rapidly, but my ranking also went up!
[BlackVelvet – 35,551st -> 21,101st D Rank].
This was the result of the past few weeks.
To be honest, even before the video started, I was still around the 26,000 mark, but as soon as the video finished and people started to share their opinions about this drama on twipper, the ranking started to skyrocket, advancing more than 5,000 positions!
I could imagine why…
Instead of just being a video of singing, like my normal songs or my vlogs that I often post, this was a more personal video that really showed about my life, my inspirations, how even though the song had sad lyrics, it was done for a good reason.
Not to ntion, the biggest factor was that I was not only showing how the song was made, but I was also showing how I was the victim of soone who wanted to steal a song that was so special to , and I was showing that to that person’s audience.
Although I knew that there would be many people who would be in denial and would not accept that Dark Pistol would do such a thing, there were still tens of thousands of people who believed in , who were not only disappointed in Dark Pistol, but also sympathized with and showed their intention to continue to follow .
All the more so because Dark Pistol’s songs and my songs were similar, showing a certain similarity due to our affinity for rock, although my songs are in different styles.
While my ranking was only going up, Dark Pistol’s was rapidly going down.
Looking at their social networks, it was possible to see that every few seconds several comnts appeared cursing them or asking for explanations.
Although few people knew the Dark Pistol agent, those who recognized the man in the video explained to others who he was, and that made almost everyone sure that Dark Pistol had really screwed up.
Within the first hour of the video, it had over 600k views, and the number was rising fast.
Comnt channels, gossip channels, news channels, all kinds of channels on Tube realized what was happening and quickly made videos about it, also trying to get views on top of this drama.
Out of curiosity, I even watched a few videos to see what these people thought.
As I imagined, their opinion was as generic as possible, just repeating what happened in my video while explaining it to their subscribers, as well as giving a general opinion to get out the good side of the story.
Sothing this type of channel always does, but this ti it was very good for because it was in my favor.
There was only one channel that decided to go against it and say the complete opposite.
[BlackVelvet, the big liar].
When I clicked on this video out of curiosity, this Tuber’s opinion was like the opinion of a blind fan, where he was just looking for micro mistakes in my video, trying to discredit in every way, even attacking my mother and Liv’s performance to say that I was just a liar.
Seeing him talk about my mother and sister made really angry, but when I went to comnt on sothing, I saw that there were already hundreds of people defending in the comnts, saying that they were disappointed in this Tuber for how he was interpreting it.
With this public support, my anger was quickly washed away.
Ring, ring, ring
My phone started ringing.
[Selena]
When I saw the na of the caller, a smile appeared on my face.
“I thought you were going to call sooner.” I said, seeing that it had been an hour and a half since the video had been released.
[I wanted to, I really wanted to… but AJP is working at full speed right now because of you]. She said in a slightly tired voice.
“Really? Because of the video?” I asked confused.
[Yes… this video is taking on bigger proportions than we imagined, with Rashad not giving up trying to buy our silence, the Dark Pistol agency threatening us not to do anything we’d regret, and several journalists trying to get an interview with you to talk about it]. Selena explained.
When I heard that, I was really surprised.
I was surprised that journalists were interested in my story, maybe after seeing how much it was resonating and seeing the potential to get a big audience with .
But I had to stop myself from laughing when I heard Selena talking about how Rashad, the Dark Pistol agent, acted and how her agency acted.
It made feel like I had offended so young master, then that young master’s master ca to threaten , then even that young master’s sect ca to try to deal with while threatening .
It was like being in a Chinese cultivation world.
But unfortunately for them, this was a modern world, the tactics of cultivation worlds wouldn’t work in real life, not to ntion that I also had a powerful cult, or rather agency, behind to protect , so it was best to let AJP itself deal with it for , while I just focused on what I needed to do to improve my career and beco even more popular.
“What did you think of the video?” I asked curiously.
[Everyone loved it, with several agents dying of envy that I found you when you were still an F Rank Artist, they couldn’t believe how fast you were rising… hehe. Even my aunt watched the video with us and got interested in you]. Selena said excitedly.
Hearing this, a proud smile appeared on my face.
It had taken so long to make the video, it was nice to have it recognized for its quality by people who really understood this kind of thing in the industry.
“I’m glad you all liked it.” I replied happily.
[My aunt gave a good idea, Noah, what do you think about using your growing popularity on Tube to make an exclusive show for them on a stream?] She asked .
“Really? How would that happen?” I asked.
[We could organize a streaming studio and set up a stage for you, get Mark and Frank to help you, get so sponsors for the potential thousands of people who would watch it, and make a good profit from it, as well as engage the new audience that has just t you]. Selena explained.
When I heard that, I was really interested.
I’d seen a few shows like that in my previous world, especially during a pandemic when no one could leave their hos, and the artists were all doing these online shows for tens if not hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if people didn’t pay anything to watch it, it would still be a great way to turn the people who knew from the drama into a really loyal audience of mine, of people who would really follow and maybe even go to shows in real life.
“I think that’s a great idea! When do you think that would be?” I asked.
[We can do it on Sunday, how about that?] she asked.
Today was Friday night, tomorrow would be Saturday, just one day to organize it.
“Do you think you can organize everything in such a short ti?” I asked worriedly.
[Don’t worry, with your approval I’ll have it ready for Sunday, just enjoy your Saturday and invite Mark and Frank for ]. Selena said before hanging up.
When I saw the screen and how fast it had developed, I started to laugh.
Selena was really excited, a side of her I’d never seen before, and it made a little curious about her.
While she knew practically everything about my life, I knew practically nothing about hers, except that she was the niece of the director of AJP San Francisco.
Does that make a bad friend?
We are friends, right?
Well, putting that aside for the mont, I turned to Tube and read the comnts from people who had seen my video.
The vast majority of people agreed with , with only a small portion still in doubt because they didn’t have any concrete proof, and another even smaller portion who didn’t believe anything and called nas.
These people were simply smothered by the comnts of those who agreed with and cursed at them in my defense.
It was fun to see the reaction of those people.
Now I understand why artists and big YouTubers from my forr world had such inflated egos, because it was pretty cool to have an army of hundreds of thousands of people willing to fight for you and defend you in every little public issue.
And that could easily go to the head of soone with a weak ntality.
I don’t think I let it go to my head, I just kept reading for a few more minutes before going to play so Osu to relax.
The ga was pretty much finished, just waiting for the right ti to release it, but with so much drama going on with , I didn’t have a good ti to release it at the mont, so it just beca an exclusive ga for and my friends to enjoy while I didn’t release it to the public.
But I had plans to release it soon.
