Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 240 The Birth of the Top 95 Flower Star (Part 2)

"She reminds me of myself when I went on stage during my high school talent show, feeling apprehensive."

On a Douban group, a highly-rated comment reads, "Those wrong dance steps and reddened ears are all the most authentic appearances of ordinary people under the spotlight."

"In the assembly-line-like precision of girl group auditions, Yang Chaoyue used her imperfections to tear off the mask of perfection. While other contestants were busy showcasing their impeccable skills, her stumbling sincerity became the softest resonance in the hearts of the audience."

The trending topics list was fluctuating wildly at midnight. When #YangChaoyueWink# topped the list with 2.1 million views, Yang Chaoyue, far away in the practice room, was staring blankly at her phone screen.

Unbeknownst to her, her flustered wink and uncontrolled smile had become a ray of light in the weary lives of countless people.

It turns out that imperfections can be loved so passionately.

Her Weibo followers surpassed 800 million that day.

June 23, 2018, Hangzhou Guali Cultural and Sports Center
The place is now enveloped in dazzling lights and a frenzied atmosphere, because tonight is the night of the "Produce 101" finale.

Outside the venue, fans were packed in layers, holding up carefully crafted light boards and support items. From colorful flower name tags to beautifully designed large posters, everything showed their support and expectations for their "little sister." The air was filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere.

In the dressing room, Yang Chaoyue stared blankly at her phone.

Gu Yang appeared behind her without her noticing: "What are you looking at so intently?"

“Boss…” she looked up, her eyes sparkling, “I really have someone who likes me.”

Gu Yang looked at this girl who was unknown just a month ago, but now any expression she makes can go viral.

He reached out and flicked her forehead: "Don't get carried away."

"I'm not getting cocky!" Yang Chaoyue covered her forehead. "I just feel like I'm dreaming."

Yes, it feels like a dream.

From rural Yancheng to the stage of Hangzhou, from a waiter carrying dishes to a star-studded idol.

The dream was so beautiful that she dared not wake up.

"Boss, can I hug you before we go on stage?"

"……Can!"

The lights on the night of the group's formation were particularly dazzling.

Yang Chaoyue stood on the stage, listening to the host announce: "Third place, Yang Chaoyue!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, her mind went completely blank.

She only snapped out of her daze when her teammates pushed her forward.

"I...I..." The microphone trembled violently in her hand. "I really didn't expect this."

Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted, "Chaoyue, don't cry!"

These words were like a switch being flipped, and her tears instantly flowed freely.

The spotlight was so bright she couldn't open her eyes. Yang Chaoyue's fingers, gripping the microphone, turned white, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.

The cheers from the audience suddenly seemed distant, and she could hear the pounding of her own heart, which made her eardrums ache.

"I'm sorry," she said, hot tears falling onto her collarbone. She frantically tried to wipe them away with the back of her hand, but ended up smearing her carefully applied stage makeup. "I know many people say I don't deserve to stand here."

The entire venue fell silent, and even the hum of the backstage equipment could be clearly heard.

She sniffed, tears still clinging to her eyelashes as she looked up, but a stubborn smile played on her lips: "But I'll keep trying! Even though I might still be clumsy." A lump formed in her throat, which she swallowed forcefully. "And... thank you for picking me!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted from the audience, like the rumble of thunder before a spring rain.

Looking at the swaying light sticks of support fans below the stage, her voice gradually calmed down: "Compared to those outstanding girls in Produce 101, I used to cry even from leg stretches. In these three months, I've lost count of how many times I've fallen, and I can't remember how many times I've been criticized by my teachers."

At this point, she burst into laughter through her tears, "But I've never slept in the practice room because I'm too afraid to sleep, afraid that I'll fall too far behind others as soon as I open my eyes."

Applause swept across the stage like a tidal wave. She took a deep breath, her eyes reddening again: "Thank you to all the villagers who have supported me. Every vote you cast is like a star, allowing me to grit my teeth and keep going even when I most wanted to give up."

Finally, she bowed slightly to the camera and looked at a man on the mentor's panel: "I also want to thank the most important person in my life... a benefactor."

"You told me when I was at my lowest point, 'Just focus on doing your best, and leave the rest to me!'"

Gu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief!
He thought the girl was about to confess her feelings; it almost scared him to death...

The moment the lights went out, Yang Chaoyue's tears finally broke free.

Amidst the screams and applause from the audience, no one noticed that as she turned around, she silently made a vow to a certain man.

I want to make you proud!

"One day, I will be worthy to stand beside you!"

This man has already blossomed into a field of wildflowers in her heart!

After the group's formation night ended, the internet exploded with a flood of comments.

"She has worked really hard. From her first stage performance to now, everyone can see her progress. She deserves to debut."

"She has a unique charm, she's very genuine, and she shines on stage."

But there are still many skeptics!
"The mismatch between his skill level and ranking is unfair to other skilled players."

"The performance on the night of the group's formation was still flawed; it really wasn't up to par."

The most amazing one is Wang Sicong.

The most scathing comment he made on Weibo was: "Yang Chaoyue's debut is an insult to the other ten people, an insult to their efforts, their sweat, and their abilities."

The insults they used were absolutely awful!
But things are different now!
He retweeted a popular comment that "Yang Chaoyue's skills don't match her talent," adding a uniquely humorous caption: "Hilarious, you guys don't know anything! Yang Chaoyue's is called 'natural stage charm.' Others dance to show off their skills, but her dancing is a return to the essence of art. How could you mere mortals understand that?"

In the comments section, someone posted a comparison video of other athletes' high-difficulty dances, to which he immediately replied: "Do you know why the Olympics have synchronized swimming and radio calisthenics? It's because the tracks are different! Yang Chaoyue's dance is a 'cyberpunk version of Jiamusi square dance,' which is qualified to apply for intangible cultural heritage status. What are you all arguing about?"

He single-handedly fought against a group of heroes, leaving those trolls speechless with their insults.

That night, #Yang Chaoyue debuted in a high position#
The hashtag #YangChaoyue’sPerformanceOnTheNightOfTheGroupDebut# quickly topped the trending search list, with views exceeding hundreds of millions and discussions reaching hundreds of thousands in a short period of time, becoming the focus of nationwide discussion.

Her fan base has officially surpassed 1000 million.

She went from an unknown newcomer to a rising star, officially entering the ranks of the post-95 generation of actresses.

In fact, her current popularity can be temporarily described as "top-tier"!
This is the era of creating stars through internet traffic!

……

July arrived quickly, and "The Vanished" was about to be released...
