Q: Do you think Psy's new song "Gentleman" will be another big hit in China?

Or is he destined to be a one-hit wonder?

Judging by the number of views on Youtube, it's been viewed more than 100 million times in less than a week, it will have international success. Youkou has an obscure way of showing number of views,  I think it is at 1.7 million views. 

 

I have no doubt in my mind that my local hairresser will include this music in their evening dance-routine. It's just a matter if the owner will force them all to get long hair to match the swinging hair in the music video.

 

I just don't think it will gain popularity until all the TV shows start to play it over and over again and include the dance in any sort segment, as they have no imagination they will repeat what they did with Gangnam Style.

Only if it gets big in the US, and only 6 months after everyone in the first world is tired of it.

Gangnam Style was not his first song, nor his last. He doesn't care if Gentleman is as popular as Gangnam Style, he knows it was just a fluke. I personally like Gentleman more, it made me laugh, and the song grew on me. I don't think it will get as popular, but it's still going to be popular.

If it is the same sort of crappy moronic mind rot then it "unfortunately" probably will. What that says about todays mindless music consumer is a completely different question.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
