Chapter 16: Fame in One Night!
From 2013 to 2014, the Chinese entertainment fandom was dominated by EXO fans and TF fans.
There are many data rankings that can provide evidence, whether they are inflated or unofficial rankings created by fans with biased views.
It's worth mentioning that the current state of the Chinese entertainment industry is relatively simple; people are still at the stage of comparing Weibo followers and looking at likes.
Various ranking lists still hold a certain value in the minds of fans today.
Unlike later ones, which were able to achieve a high degree of anonymization for various types of data.
As this episode of "The Voice of China" aired, related terms began to trend on social media.
【The Voice of China】
It ranked first on the overall list, with 708 million discussions and 6400 million topics in 3 hours.

[Yao Beina's Good Voice]
【The Voice of China: Nanshan Nan】
...
The internet is flooded with discussions about the premiere of "The Voice of China".
The discussion focused on both the mentor lineup and the contestants, with the contestants being the most discussed topic.
It's naturally Li Mo!
Leaving aside some biased and mindless haters, let's set aside this for now.
Some of the slightly younger people practically showered the song and Li Mo herself with compliments.
There's no way around it; this period, which is most reliant on youthful melancholy literature, is practically the best incubator for folk songs.
Like rap in the years that followed, this style firmly captured the hearts of the younger generation.
The girls, in particular, were not only moved to tears by the song, but also kept their eyes glued to Li Mo's face through their tear-filled eyes.
That's really putting them in a difficult position!
【Aww~ Momo is so cute!】
[This man has such a strong sense of history; what exactly did he go through?]
[Damn, I can't appreciate the music because I'm ignoring the face, and I can't listen to the music properly because I'm looking at the face. Li Mo, why are you so stunning?!]
Yingzi's comment about "final-level performance" proves she's got some talent! No wonder, she's amazing, and her singing is even better!
[Amazing! Not only does he sing well and look handsome, but most importantly, this is an original song! No one else can compare!]
Meanwhile, in a bar, a male singer who looks like a doll naturally watched this episode as well.
He was quite dismissive of the online praise for the song.
"I could write a song like this in three days! Is it really necessary to praise it like this?"
He made up his mind to write a song like that and make a name for himself!
"Maddy, what are you thinking, not going on stage to sing? Don't you know it's your turn?"
"knew!"
Unconvinced, Ma Di picked up his guitar and walked onto the stage, getting into position to sing today's song.
Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea. He watched The Voice of China playing and canceled the song he was supposed to sing.
He fiddled with his guitar and sang "Nanshan Nan" along with Li Mo on the screen.
During the performance, seeing that the audience was more engaged than usual, he felt a little uneasy.
But after the performance, he looked at the more red bills in his hand than usual; they were gifts from the audience.
All he could do was exclaim: Damn! This song is absolutely brilliant!
The internet is noisy, and so is reality.
Li Mo, Reba, and Chaoyue watched this episode together. None of them knew beforehand that Li Mo had participated in the show.
When Li Mo appeared, Yang Chaoyue gave him a high-pitched voice that could destroy the world.
"ah!!!"
"What are you yelling about? You scared me!" Li Mo scolded, covering his left ear.
"Aaaaaah!!" After Chaoyue shouted, Reba started yelling again to Li Mo's right!
"Why are you getting involved?"
Li Mo had no choice but to cover his ears and stay still.
"Brother Mo, you're amazing!"
Yang Chaoyue didn't think too much about it; she was just surprised that Li Mo sang so well.
Moreover, she had a feeling that even though she wasn't the one appearing on television, she still felt very proud.
"Li Mo, what are you doing on 'The Voice of China'?"
Reba was clearly thinking more deeply; Li Mo had already given her this "surprise" a second time.
Therefore, besides being happy for Li Mo, she actually felt a slight sense of crisis.
Li Mo was clearly climbing rapidly in a way that she couldn't understand. Reba was a little worried that Li Mo would leave her too far behind and she wouldn't be able to see him anymore.
It's worth noting that there are plenty of celebrities with long, white legs in the entertainment industry; it just shows that this version of Dilraba is too insecure.
Li Mo ignored the loud and boisterous Yang Chaoyue, and instead grabbed Reba's hand, giving her a reassuring look.
The meaning is clear: I will not change, never!
Seeing that Li Mo ignored him, Yang Chaoyue was naturally a little unhappy, so he simply took out his phone and casually browsed through it.
As a result, as soon as Li Mo opened Weibo, another world-destroying high note was delivered to him.
They were pulled back from their romantic reverie, which had brought them closer together.
"Brother Mo! You're about to become famous!"
Numerous netizens commented and shared on Li Mo's Weibo.
As more and more related terms appeared about this song, its popularity gradually increased along with the popularity of the premiere of "The Voice of China".
The overwhelming discussion was indeed quite shocking for Chaoyue, who was seeing such a scene for the first time.
When Li Mo heard Yang Chaoyue say that, he also opened his phone and looked at it. As soon as he picked up his phone, he saw 99+ messages from different apps.
Just like the original version of "Nanshan Nan" was popular on The Voice of China, its popularity has soared even higher now that it's been paired with Li Mo.
Although Li Mo is not yet comparable to the EXO-Ls or Clover fans, he has already begun to show such potential.
However, it is somewhat regrettable that Jiaxing became unexpectedly silent at this time.
Originally, it should have been conducting comprehensive marketing, packaging, and promotion for Li Mo around the clock.
In order to capitalize on this momentum and convert it into Li Mo's fans as much as possible.
It seems to be pressuring Li Mo to some extent in a silent way.
As time went on, clips of Li Mo from "The Voice of China" went viral online, and the song "Nanshan Nan" became a mainstream hit.
As the popularity of Li Mo grows, the promotional buzz surrounding "Gu Jian Qi Tan" also rises to a new level as netizens explore Li Mo's story.
Now, every time you refresh Weibo, you can see topics about [Nanshan Nan] and [Li Mo].
This news also caught the attention of Jiang Lei, the director of H&R Century Pictures.
In the H&R Century Pictures office.
Jiang Lei crossed his legs, leaned back in the boss's chair, and looked at the clip of Li Mo singing "Nanshan Nan" on the computer.
He even turned on the bullet comments, and all sorts of comments came flooding in.
[Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be this season's champion!]
[It was alright. I felt that contestant Li Qi sang quite well, and A-mei's team was also very strong.]
Can't you have a little artistic talent? Li Mo is better than Li Qi in both looks and singing ability!
[Agreed. Considering the contestant's skill and commercial value, Li Mo is the only option, unless he withdraws from the competition!]
[Withdraw from the competition? Even if my Li Mo withdraws, he can still make it big as an actor! He'll have success in both music and acting!]
"Nanshan Nan" is definitely the most touching folk song I've heard recently!
[How can you say I had feelings for her? That's amazing! I confessed my love to my goddess today by singing "Nanshan Nan"!]
[You're really ruthless, daring to confess your feelings by singing "Nanshan Nan" (South Mountain South). Aren't you afraid it will turn out like the lyrics describe later on?]
[Dude, you're just jealous. I'm going to find my girlfriend for dinner now~]
The comments section was filled with heated discussions about Li Mo and the song "Nanshan Nan".
Jiang Lei hadn't expected that just one song would generate such high popularity.
Moreover, it is said that he won the hearts of a large number of fans as soon as he appeared at the opening ceremony of "Gu Jian Qi Tan"!
Keep in mind that this was his first drama, in other words, he was a newcomer. Unexpectedly, it was just a filming ceremony and a song.
It actually went viral and became a trending topic!
Jiang Lei, who is very sensitive to the entertainment industry, immediately noticed this point. In this circle, outstanding looks are indispensable.
But luck and audience appeal are what determine how high and how far you can go!
Jiang Lei continued to open Weibo and carefully examined the various topics related to Li Mo to further confirm his thoughts.
It's not uncommon for a song to suddenly become a viral hit online; it's a perfectly normal occurrence.
Most netizens discuss the songs, paying little attention to the original singers, and the popularity decreases after about a month each time.
But this time is different.
People not only discussed the song, but also focused more on Li Mo as a person!
This means that people are interested in Li Mo as a person!
As a professional, Jiang Lei had already seen the value in Li Mo, like an undiscovered gem!
Jiang Lei picked up his coffee and took a sip, his eyes already gleaming with a sharp light. He then looked at Li Mo's detailed information next to him.
"Interesting. Having such a rising star around and not appreciating him, only now is he taking his first step. Yang Mi, oh Yang Mi..."
Li Mo is an artist under Jaywalk Studio, which in turn is under H&R Century Pictures, so it would be extremely easy to investigate her background.
After flipping through the document, Jiang Lei secretly had an idea.
Although Li Mo can be considered one of our own, he is, after all, an artist under Jaywalk Studio. Since Yang Mi doesn't cherish this opportunity, then don't waste it!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lei called over his assistant and gave him some tasks to do.
Huanrui is not the only company that values Li Mo; Canxing, the production company behind The Voice of China, also recognizes his worth.
I've been itching to get started for ages!
This Canxing is no ordinary company; in addition to producing "The Voice of China," it has also produced well-known programs such as "China's Got Talent" and "China's Dream Show."
The reason we were able to invite so many famous mentors is because of the name Canxing!
"The popularity of this song 'Nanshan Nan' has far surpassed that of other contestants, and it's even higher than the popularity of famous contestants from the first season!"
In the conference room, Jin Lei, the director of The Voice of China, pointed to Li Mo's photo on the big screen and said emphatically.
The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the value that Li Mo can bring to The Voice of China and how to bring him under our control.
Logically speaking, such meetings were held during the first season of The Voice of China, but back then, they were only considered when the teams reached the top four.
But Li Mo's appearance took them by surprise!
Jin Lei also discovered the hidden value behind Li Mo!
"I never expected to see a contestant like this this season. Shen Ning, you deserve a lot of credit!"
Shen Ning, sitting in the audience, smiled broadly upon hearing Jin Lei's praise and stood up to respond.
The reason why he is said to have made a contribution is because he was the one who put Li Mo in there.
I never expected that adding a relative would generate so much buzz!
This is much better than the previous contestants who were crammed in!
"The focus of the next program should be on Li Mo, including her original songs and her identity as an actress. These two aspects can be explored further!"
Secondly, the question is how to turn Li Mo into one of ours!
Jin Lei pointed out the core of the meeting, and everyone else also shared their thoughts and ideas.
Now, Li Mo's net worth is also rising as the hype grows.
If Huanrui and Canxing are thinking about how to make Li Mo one of their own, then what Jiaxing is trying to do is figure out how to keep Li Mo.
The hotel room.
Yang Mi had just finished showering and was wearing a bathrobe, with a few drops of water still clinging to her hair, as she sat on the sofa.
While applying body lotion, I watched a clip of Li Mo singing "Nanshan Nan".
Li Mo has been incredibly popular online these past few days, and as her boss, she's naturally enjoying it.
I originally thought Li Mo was already very good at acting, but I didn't expect her to be an original singer!
"South of the mountain, south... autumn sorrow in the north..."
Yang Mi hummed softly; she liked this song very much too, and she never expected him to have such an ability.
If I had known, I would have made him famous long ago. Would I have needed Qin Lan to ask for opportunities for him?
He knew that in a while, he would be leaving Huanrui to start his own business.
With someone as talented as Li Mo around, the pressure on me has been greatly reduced!
Now I've seen Li Mo's potential. After this drama is finished filming, I'll get him some good scripts and good roles!
Based on the netizens' affection for him, he will definitely become a key figure in their ranks!
Yang Mi felt much happier thinking about this, and her days away from Huanrui seemed to be looking more promising.
Director Luo previously said he was lucky to have Li Mo as an artist.
Looking back now, I realize how incredibly lucky I am!
However, Yang Mi did not only consider this point. As Li Mo's popularity increases, there will definitely be many people who want to do something to him.
We can't afford to be complacent, so we definitely need to allocate resources accordingly, and we need to try to secure promotional songs for GG magazine for him.
We can't let our employees down!
Just as Yang Mi was making some initial considerations about Li Mo's future development, a phone call came in.
Yang Mi answered the call without much thought, but as they chatted, her expression changed from initial pleasure to a stiff one, and her brows furrowed slightly.
The call ended half an hour later.
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Jiang Lei from H&R Century Pictures.
Yang Mi had some expectations when the phone call came, and the result was exactly as she had predicted!
Yang Mi initially praised and encouraged Li Mo on the phone, but as the conversation progressed, she sensed something was off.
They said they would give Li Mo more resources during this period, and Huanrui has several projects they want him to try out.
And Li Mo and I need to come and meet him.
Isn't this just trying to poach talent?
I didn't expect it to happen so quickly; I need to make some plans soon!
How could we possibly hand over Li Mo so easily!
