Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Chapter 107 Li Lin responded faster than Yi Tong

After the National Drama Awards ceremony concluded, the audience began to leave in an orderly fashion.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Liying, Lin Gengxin and others, Chen Mo walked to the parking lot, where fans had already gathered on both sides.

"It's so late, go home early and be careful."

Chen Mo walked up to the fans, taking their letters and giving them instructions. Li Xiaoyu followed beside him, also taking letters. Before long, their hands were full.

Chen Mo nodded to his fans and got into the car.

The roads in Beijing weren't congested at night, and Chen Mo arrived home in about twenty minutes.

Back home, Chen Mo finished showering, wrapped himself in a towel, and had just stepped out of the bathroom when there was a knock on the door.

Chen Mo glanced through the peephole and saw it was Li Lin before opening the door.

Li Lin, standing outside the door, was still wearing her evening gown and makeup, looking gentle and elegant.

Chen Mo stepped aside, and Li Qin walked in. Watching Chen Mo, who was shirtless and only wearing a bath towel, walk past her, she felt a little itchy.

This guy has such a great body, especially since he just took a shower and there are still water droplets on his body, making him look even more alluring under the light.

Chen Mo felt there was no movement behind him, turned around and saw the burning passion in Li Lin's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh:

Looks like tonight's going to be another fierce battle!

Sure enough, before Chen Mo could even speak, Li Lin had already snapped out of her daze, walked up to him, and made her target clear.

I don't know how much time passed —

Li Lin reacted much faster than Li Yitong. Chen Mo watched as she covered her mouth and prepared to get up, but suddenly her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

Then, unexpectedly, she didn't need to go to the toilet. Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and quickly went to help her.

She glared at Chen Mo with annoyance, then staggered to the bathroom. Although she had nothing in her mouth, she still had to brush her teeth.

Since the premiere of "Hello, Old Times," news about Li Landi has been nonstop: "Chen Mo! Douban rating 8.5! And it's still rising!!!"

Chen Mo had just finished a day of filming and was lying on the sofa at home when he saw the message she sent. He typed back, "I saw it, great."

But at this moment, he started scrolling through Weibo, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

It ranked fifth on the trending topics list.

#Lin Yangyu Zhouzhou#

He clicked on it.

The first one is a video clip posted by a marketing account.

The title is:

The scene where Lin Yang chases the bus on his bicycle is truly a legendary moment.

The first one is a video clip posted by a marketing account.

The caption reads: "This scene from 'Hello, Old Times' is absolutely amazing! Lin Yang is chasing the bus on his bike, and Yu Zhouzhou is watching him through the bus window. The moment the sunlight streams in, I completely melted!"

Click on the video.

The streets in the early morning are dappled with the shadows of plane trees.

Chen Mo rode his old-fashioned bicycle, trying his best to catch up with the bus ahead.

The wheels rolled over the stone pavement, making a soft, rustling sound.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering like shards of gold across his body.

On the bus, Yu Zhouzhou, played by Li Landi, turned her head and saw him.

Her expression shifted from surprise to astonishment, and then to an irrepressible smile.

She raised her hand and waved gently through the car window.

Chen Mo smiled.

That smile was clean, warm, and pure, just like an eighteen-year-old boy should look like.

The sunlight fell perfectly on his face, swirling around his eyebrows and eyes.

The live chat was going crazy: "Oh my god, that laugh!!!"

"I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead."

"What an amazing young boy!"

"It's too unfair for Chen Mo to play this kind of role."

"He can really act in anything."

"I could look at that smile a hundred times."

The comments section was even more lively: "I watched this part five times, and I couldn't help but laugh every time."

"Chen Mo's eyes are amazing; he can't hide the joy he feels when he sees someone he likes."

"I'm not a fan, but this was really well acted!"

"Lin Yang is my campus heartthrob, without a doubt."

"Finally, there's a drama where the male lead really looks like he's eighteen."

Chen Mo looked at these comments and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He continued scrolling down.

Another topic: #LinYangQuotes#

Clicking through reveals screenshots of lines from the show.

Even if it means going against the whole world, I'll stand by your side.

"Do you think I'd do anything just because you said 'Yu Zhouzhou'?"

I like you, I've liked you for a long time.

Comments section: "Help, these lines are so sweet!"

"What an amazing boyfriend Lin Yang is."

"Even if it means going against the whole world, I'll stand by your side—I've written that down in my little notebook."

"If my boyfriend were even half as good as Lin Yang, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

"When Chen Mo said those lines, the look in his eyes... I was stunned."

"It is recommended that all male students in the country memorize Lin Yang's quotes."

"The female students have gone crazy; all four of us in my dorm are chasing after them."

When Chen Mo saw the last message, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The female students went crazy.

Good.

In the following days, the popularity of "Hello, Old Times" continued to rise.

The comments section below:

The comment with the most likes: "You might meet Yu Huai, or Sheng Huainan, but you'll never meet Lin Yang, because he's too good."

Yu Huai is cowardly, selfish, and irresponsible; Sheng Huainan is hesitant, suspicious, and evasive; only Lin Yang is a staunch Yu-Zhou devotee. [Tears]

The comments below were full of people saying, "This is what a youth drama should be like—real and heartwarming."

"Chen Mo acted so well; he completely captured the sunny, youthful vibe of Lin Yang."

"Li Landi is also very talented; she perfectly captured Yu Zhouzhou's stubborn yet gentle nature."

"The two have amazing chemistry; my heart skipped a beat when they looked at each other."

"Finally, a drama has made me believe that campus romance really exists."

"After watching this, I want to go back to high school."

"I've already watched it three times, I can't stop."

Word of mouth continues to grow.

The number of views has been climbing steadily.

On the day of the finale, the average number of views for the cloud compilation exceeded 8000 million.

The director of "Hello, Old Times" posted on his WeChat Moments: "The average viewership of each episode of 'Hello, Old Times' has exceeded 8000 million. Thank you to all the viewers and thank you to all the staff for their hard work."

Special thanks to Chen Mo and Li Landi; you brought Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou back to life.

The following is a string of congratulations.

Li Landi's agent was so excited that he posted three consecutive messages on WeChat Moments: "Landi's first leading role drama has garnered over 8000 million views per episode! The reviews are phenomenal! Her future is bright!"

"Chen Mo is truly a treasure of an actor; he's incredibly good at guiding the cast. Lan Di has made tremendous progress working with him."

"Thank you to the crew of 'Hello, Old Times,' thank you to Director Desert, and thank you to Chen Mo!"

On Weibo, more and more people are starting to discuss this drama.

It's trending on social media every day.

"Donghua Dijun and Yan Xun's stories were both tragic, but Lin Yang finally got a happy ending, I cried so much."

"Chen Mo, the God of Pure Love, my eternal god."

Chen Mo was scrolling through the comments when he suddenly saw one: "Dilraba came to support her!"

He clicked on Dilraba's Weibo.

Dilraba's latest post: "Just finished watching 'My Huckleberry Friends,' Lin Yang is just too good!!!"

@Actor Chen Mo, what roles have you played that I haven't seen before?

The accompanying image is a screenshot from a television screen—the very scene where Lin Yang is chasing a bus on his bicycle.

Comments section: "Dilraba, you watch dramas too!"

"Feng Jiu has come to see Donghua's wife."

"Dilraba: Chen Mo's new wife? Let me see."

"Hilarious, is Dilraba checking up on me?"

Dilraba: Chen Mo playing a pure love story? I don't believe it unless I verify it myself.

Chen Mo's lips twitched as he looked at the comments.

He opened the comments and typed: "Thank you for your support, Ms. Dilraba. [clasped hands]"

Dilraba replied immediately: "Teacher Chen Mo, you're welcome. Lin Yang really acted well [doge emoji]".

The interaction between the two was screenshotted again and went viral in the CP super topic.

Not long after, Meng Ziyi also posted on Weibo: "I've finished watching 'Hello, Old Times,' Lin Yang is just too good!!!"

@Actor Chen Mo, when will you play a role like this for me?

The accompanying picture is a selfie of her watching a drama on her phone.

Comment section: "Meng Ziyi: Chen Mo, how are you going to repay what you owe me?"

"My ex-wife came to inspect."

Mu Nianci: Yang Kang, look at Lin Yang.

"Hilarious! This is a blatant implication from Mencius."

"Ziyi, don't worry, there will be opportunities."

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo replied with a smile, "Definitely next time."

Meng Ziyi immediately replied with an "[expecting]" emoji.

A little while later, Li Qin also posted on Weibo: "#HelloOldTimes# I watched it all in one go, Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou are so sweet together."

Chen Mo's acting was so good! Why wasn't it this sweet when we worked together? @actressChenMo

The accompanying photo shows her curled up on the sofa watching a TV series.

The comments section exploded: "Li Qin is here to assert his dominance!"

Yuan Chun: Yan Xun, look at Lin Yang!

"Hahaha, is Li Qin jealous?"

"Sister Lin: Why weren't things this sweet when Chen Mo and I were acting together?"

"A battlefield of carnage! A battlefield of carnage!"

"Chen Mo, your three wives are about to start fighting."

Chen Mo looked at these comments and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking for a moment, he replied to Li Qin in the comments section: "Does making it a little more angsty make your acting seem better?"

Li Qin replied with a "[knocking]" emoji.

Three Weibo posts, three actresses, three different styles.

Netizens are going crazy over it.

Someone compiled a "Collection of Reactions from Actresses Who Co-starred with Chen Mo While Watching the Drama": "Dilraba: The 'Check-up' type of watching the drama."

"Meng Ziyi: The ex-wife's complaining binge-watching style."

"Li Lin: The Sovereignty-Declaring Type of TV Series Watching."

The accompanying image consists of screenshots of three Weibo posts.

Comment section: "What kind of god-like treatment is Chen Mo receiving?"

"Three women make a drama, Chen Mo, can you handle it?"

"Hilarious, they all love it so much."

On the trending topics list, a topic quietly climbed up:

#The purest love story Chen Mo has ever acted in is also the one with a happy ending#

Clicking on it, the first item is a long article by a drama critic: "I've compiled a list of the dramas Chen Mo has starred in this year:"

"Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" - Donghua Dijun x Bai Fengjiu, a tragic love story, HE (Happy Ending) but the process is heart-wrenching.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes – Yang Kang x Mu Nianci, tragic love story, tragic ending.

"Princess Agents" - Yan Xun x Yuan Chun, a tragic love story, tragic ending (the relationship with the female lead is also tragic).

"Hello, Old Times" - Lin Yang x Yu Zhouzhou, pure love, sweet from beginning to end, HE (Happy Ending).

Conclusion: Chen Mo has finally played a character that isn't tragic!

Lin Yang is the most innocent, the most sunny, and the most romantic character among all of Chen Mo's roles!

Congratulations to Chen Mo, you've finally graduated from being a "professional villain"!

The comments section was filled with agreement: "Well written."

"Chen Mo really has a completely different face for each role."

"Lin Yang is my ideal woman this year."

"Chen Mo: There have been too many tragic endings before, so this time I'll make it up to you with a pure and happy ending."

"Lin Yang is so wonderful, I'm about to cry."

"Those who came from Yan Xun saw Lin Yang and he was like completely different people."

"Chen Mo's acting is really amazing; the scenes of heartbreak and sweetness are completely different."

"I suggest Chen Mo act in more pure love stories in the future; I love watching them."

"Lin Yang is the epitome of campus male protagonists in my mind."

The popularity of "Hello, Old Times" is like a youth storm sweeping across the entire internet.

Lin Yang's smile went viral on every social media platform.

Even if it means going against the whole world, I'll stand by your side.

It has become the signature of countless girls.

Chen Mo's Weibo comment section was completely flooded with comments: "Lin Yang's wife has arrived!"

"Brother Chen Mo, look at me!"

"From Donghua to Yang Kang to Yan Xun to Lin Yang, I love every single one of your roles."

"Please, act in more pure love stories, I love watching them."

"Today is another day that I'm smitten with Lin Yang."

But what truly shocked the industry was something else.

Weibo King & Queen selection.

This is a regular feature on Weibo every year at the end of the year.

The public voted to select the most popular male and female celebrities of the year.

At the beginning of the selection, Chen Mo's ranking was not high.

Among the candidates for Weibo King, Deng Chao is the frontrunner.

With the boost of his national popularity from "Running Man" and the buzz from the movie "Duckweed," he is far ahead in the votes.

The second place goes to Lu Han. Although he lost a lot of fans after going public with his relationship, he still has a solid foundation.

The third place goes to Kris Wu.

The fourth place is Li Yifeng.

Chen Mo ranked fifth.

The difference from the previous ones is actually quite significant.

Wang Lihua glanced at it and didn't pay much attention: "That's normal. Deng Chao's popularity is too high. Others have been popular for many years, while you've only been popular for a year. It's normal that you can't compare."

Chen Mo thought so too, but obviously the fans didn't think so, according to the Weibo King voting page.

First place: Deng Chao, with 1821 million votes.

Second place: Lu Han, with 1156 million votes.

Third place: Chen Mo, with 987 million votes.

He was less than two million behind Lu Han, and more than eight million behind Deng Chao.

But three days ago, Chen Mo was in fifth place, and now he's in third.

The reason for the rapid increase in votes is quite simple.

The fans attracted by "Hello, Old Times" are almost entirely female students.

Do you know how terrifying it can be when female students become fans of celebrities?

Chen Mo's super topic is full of posts like the one below.

"Sisters! Charge! Let Chen Mo be number one!"

"The first thing I do every day when I log on is vote!"

Share the poll link to get more people involved!

"We can do it! Go for it!"

The female students' fighting spirit was completely unleashed.

They are not the kind of casual fans who only have a fleeting interest.

They are serious, dedicated fans who would stay up all night to vote for their idols.

They encouraged each other in the group chat, cheered each other on in the super topic, and campaigned for votes on various social media platforms.

"Sisters, Professor Deng Chao's votes are still rising, we can't stop!"

"Each person can cast ten votes per day, don't forget!"

Share it with your friends, and let them share it with their friends!

"For Lin Yang! For Chen Mo! Charge!"

Two days later.

Chen Mo's votes have increased to 2123 million.

Deng Chao: 2512 million.

The gap has narrowed from over eight million to less than four million.

Weibo exploded.

On the trending topics list, #ChenMoRankedSecondInVotes# jumped straight to first place.

Clicking through, you're greeted with a frenzy of fan comments: "Next target: Deng Chao!"

"Sisters, let's go! Let Chen Mo be King!"

"This is the power of idol worship."

"Chen Mo deserves it!!!"

Passersby turned to look: "Holy crap, Chen Mo's fans are that fierce?"

"Rising to second place in just two days? What kind of godlike fighting power is that?"

"Deng Chao's votes have also been caught up, and the gap is less than four million."

I underestimated female students.

"Chen Mo has really become a sensation this time."

The industry was also shocked.

"What's going on with Chen Mo? His votes are surging so fast?"

"The fans of 'My Huckleberry Friends' are mostly young girls."

"This group's fighting power is terrifying."

"Deng Chao's team is probably panicking."

"There's no use in rushing. This kind of public vote is all about the number of fans."

"Chen Mo is really on fire this year, with three hit dramas, you can't argue with that."

Deng Chao's fans couldn't sit still either. In the supertopic, posts started appearing urging for votes: "Sisters, Chen Mo's fans are catching up! We can't lose!"

"Teacher Deng Chao has been leading for so many days, and this is the first time he's been threatened. He must hold on!"

"Everyone, remember, ten votes per person per day, don't forget to cast yours!"

Share it with your friends, and let them share it with their friends!

The fans of both sides have officially started their battle.

The increase in votes is clearly visible.

On the first day, Chen Mo's income increased by five million, and Deng Chao's income increased by four million.

The gap has narrowed to three million.

The next day, Chen Mo's investment increased by six million, and Deng Chao's by four million.

Noon on the third day.

Chen Mo's vote count settled at 3823 million.

Deng Chao's vote count was fixed at 3819 million.

Chen Mo has overtaken Chen Mo by 40,000 votes.

Weibo instantly went viral.

#ChenMoOvertakesDengChao# immediately topped the trending searches.

The word "explosion" is followed by a deep red flame symbol.

The comment section was completely flooded with messages: "Ahhhhhh, we did it!!!"

"Chen Mo is number one!!! Chen Mo is number one!!!"

"We went from fifth to first in just six days!"

"What kind of god-like fighting power is this?"

"Deng Chao cried himself unconscious in the toilet."

"Chen Mo deserves it! Chen Mo deserves it!"

"Chen Mo's fans are terrifying."

Chen Mo was resting at home when he saw the results.

For true fangirling, look to female students!

He stared at the screen for several seconds, then opened Weibo and posted: "Thank you."

The comment section responded instantly: "You're welcome! You deserve it!"

We will always support you!

"Chen Mo is number one!"

"Keep pushing!"

"Lin Yang's Wives Club will never give up!"
