Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Bi Xiaoshi walked onto the stage, microphone in hand, looked around at the reporters below the stage, and cleared his throat.

"Dear media friends, thank you all for coming today." His voice was steady and powerful. "First of all, congratulations to A-Du on the great success of his new album 'Persist to the End'. Secondly, today is also an important day for us at BJ Ocean Butterflies. We have officially signed a very talented new artist, Song Mo."

The reporters in the audience whispered among themselves for a few moments, and some of them raised their cameras and took a few more pictures.

Bi Xiaoshi continued, "Song Mo is nineteen years old this year. His first album is currently in preparation, with him writing both the lyrics and music. It is expected to be released in the first half of next year."

He Jiong chimed in at the opportune moment: "That's really something to look forward to. To be able to produce an entire album by yourself at the age of nineteen is quite rare in the Chinese music scene."

Hearing Bi Xiaoshi's words, the reporters in the audience were pleasantly surprised. He wrote both the lyrics and the music, which was a topic worth writing about.

At this moment, a reporter in the audience suddenly raised his hand: "Professor Bi, are the recent rumors circulating online about Song Mo, Fan Binbin, and Gao Yuanyuan true?"

The room fell silent for a moment when the question was asked.

Song Mo looked at the bald, middle-aged reporter, who smiled at him.

This person looked somewhat familiar to him; it seemed like he had just met Bi Xiaoshi before. He was probably someone Bi Xiaoshi had hired.

The reporter standing nearby, upon hearing this question, immediately became curious as well.

The news about Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan's mysterious boyfriend has been circulating on "Celebrity Bigstar" for several days.

These media reporters naturally knew about it, but there was only one not-so-clear frontal photo of the mysterious man, and no one had figured out who he was.

Upon hearing this, they looked at Song Mo again and exclaimed, "Damn, isn't the mysterious man right on stage?"

The reporters, who were slow to realize what was happening, immediately went wild. Even without extra travel expenses, they started snapping photos like crazy.

It's surprising that Ocean Butterflies' newly signed newcomer has such a significant piece of gossip.

He was already involved in scandals with two female celebrities before he even debuted.

Bi Xiaoshi smiled as he watched the scene unfold. After the noise from the audience subsided somewhat, he said calmly, "Regarding this, I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify something. Song Mo, Fan Binbin, and Gao Yuanyuan are just ordinary friends. They met up at the supermarket that day, but unfortunately, they were recognized. The relationship between the three of them was purely a misunderstanding caused by false information online."

The reporter then asked, "In that photo, Song Mo is holding Fan Binbin's hand as they run..."

"That was to leave the crowd as quickly as possible to avoid any accidents," Bi Xiaoshi interrupted him. "If any of you had been there, I believe you would have done the same. Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan have already clarified this matter through the media."

The reporters looked at each other, some of them scribbling something down in their notebooks.

Song Mo stood on the stage, his expression unchanged from beginning to end. He was neither flustered nor deliberately calm. He just stood there naturally, occasionally smiling at the audience.

After Bi Xiaoshi finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Song Mo: "Xiao Song, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Song Mo took the microphone, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "First of all, I would like to thank Teacher Bi and Teacher Xu for their trust in me. It is an honor for me to join Ocean Butterflies. Secondly, regarding those things on the internet, I just want to say one thing: I am just a singer. The most important thing right now is to make a good album. As for the rest, just listen to it as a story."

After he finished speaking, he handed the microphone back to Bi Xiaoshi.

The reporters in the audience were taken aback. This newcomer spoke quite interestingly, neither humble nor arrogant.

However, some people were still persistent and planned to keep asking what the relationship between the three was.

He Jiong quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Okay, let's proceed with the signing ceremony..."

The signing ceremony was simple. Song Mo signed a formal contract, Bi Xiaoshi signed on behalf of the company, the two shook hands, and reporters took photos.

Jinsha stood to the side, clapping with a smile. Adu also stood up and clapped symbolically.

The entire process took less than twenty minutes.

After the reporters dispersed, Bi Xiaoshi pulled Song Mo aside and said in a low voice, "You did a good job today. The typhoon was stable, and you spoke steadily. Follow this approach for the rest of the publicity."

Song Mo nodded: "Teacher Bi, is the rumor just cleared up like this?"

"Don't worry, I've paid enough for their travel expenses. They know how to write it," Bi Xiaoshi said. "Besides, those who believe in this kind of thing will believe it, and it's useless for those who don't believe to say anything more. Our focus isn't on arguing with them, but on making the album."

He paused, then said, "But now you're really famous. These reporters who came today will write about it, and it'll be in the newspapers tomorrow. A lot of people across the country will know who you are."

Song Mo smiled and said, "That's great, it saves on advertising costs."

Bi Xiaoshi was taken aback by his words, then laughed: "You kid, you have a really good attitude."

Adu walked over, stood next to Song Mo, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Good luck."

Two words, spoken softly, but with great sincerity.

Song Mo looked at him and said earnestly, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Adu nodded, turned and left.

Jinsha leaned closer and whispered, "Junior brother, what do you think those reporters will write when they get back?"

Song Mo thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter how you write it, as long as you spell my name correctly."

Jinsha was amused by him, but after laughing, she sighed, "I just went up there today and stood on the stage, but I didn't say a single word."

"It's alright," Song Mo patted her shoulder, "I'll let you say a few more words next time."

Jinsha rolled her eyes at him and turned to get some water.

Song Mo stood there, watching the crowd gradually disperse in the inner area. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: he wondered how Gao Yuanyuan was doing.

Gao Yuanyuan went to Xiangshan yesterday. Fortunately, things are different now than in later years, otherwise, given the current popularity of the love triangle, many people would definitely be waiting for her at the airport.

However, with today's press conference, the public opinion should calm down considerably by tomorrow.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about this." Song Mo shook his head, shaking off these messy thoughts, and turned to find An Ming.

Anming is here today too. He's been sitting in a corner under the stage, and right now he's leaning against the wall smoking.

"Brother An," Song Mo walked over, "You've had a hard day."

An Ming exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at him: "You kid, you're really going to be famous now."

Song Mo smiled and said, "This is hardly fame. People will just know that such a person exists. We still need to speed up the album's progress."

He witnessed the grand spectacle of A-Du's autograph session today; it's impossible for him not to feel envious.

A-Du was able to rise from a construction worker to a music superstar, and he believed he could too.

"Didn't Ocean Butterflies find you a producer? Go meet him tomorrow. Don't worry about things there, everything's going smoothly." Anming threw down his cigarette butt and became more serious.

Now, under Anming's management, coupled with the catchy lyrics and melody of the song "Mice Love Rice,"

The song is gaining popularity, and on Tianya's music section, quite a few people are sharing "Mice Love Rice".

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm at ease." Song Mo wasn't too worried about this matter. In his previous life, "Mice Love Rice" didn't have this much publicity, but it still became a huge hit, didn't it?

He simply wants to speed up the process so that he can be among the first to benefit when the ringback tone pilot program begins next year.
