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

The next morning, the entertainment sections of major newspapers were bustling with activity.

Film and Television Arts Magazine: "A-Du's autograph session in Yanjing was a huge success; Ocean Butterflies' newcomer Song Mo made her debut and clarified rumors on the spot."

Contemporary Music Magazine: "A-Du's junior brother revealed: 19-year-old newcomer Song Mo signs with Ocean Butterflies Music, stating that he is just friends with Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan."

21st Century Global Report's Celebrity Weekly: "Ocean Butterflies' Mysterious Newcomer's Debut: Is He the Rumored Leading Man? Or a Dark Horse with Real Strength?"

The Beijing Times: "A-Du's debut sparks a frenzy; Ocean Butterflies vows to establish itself in mainland China, launching a powerful new star—Song Mo!"

.......

An Ming placed these newspapers in front of Song Mo early in the morning.

After all, this was Song Mo's name, and it was the first time it had appeared in the newspaper in a proper way.

Song Mo was surprised that Ocean Butterflies had actually managed to get a page in a major newspaper like the Beijing Times.

In this era, although celebrities are becoming increasingly popular, their status still cannot compare with that of later generations.

Aside from renowned directors and actors who win awards overseas, serious media outlets generally don't report on the entertainment industry much.

"It seems that traditional media are under a lot of pressure these days," Song Mo said with a smile, picking up the Beijing Times.

He opened the newspaper, and the report began by introducing the grand occasion of A-Du's autograph session, emphasizing A-Du's importance to the Chinese music scene. This autograph session in mainland China proved that the importance of the mainland music market in the Chinese music scene has been increasing since China joined the WTO.....Then a lot of space was devoted to introducing Song Mo, saying that Song Mo is a super new star discovered by Ocean Butterflies in cooperation with the mainland, and that his first album is in full preparation, and that Song Mo will write all the lyrics and music for the entire album himself, and so on.

The overall tone of this report is quite serious. The fact that Ocean Butterflies signed Song Mo can be linked to the exchange and cooperation between the mainland music scene and the overseas Chinese music scene.

After reading it, Song Mo could only sigh that Bi Xiaoshi's travel expenses were really generous.

Then Song Mo opened "21st Century Global Report · Celebrity Weekly". This report did not rush to clarify the rumors, but used a technique of praising by first criticizing.

Yesterday, BJ Ocean Butterflies held a unique signing ceremony. Rather than signing new artists, it was more about continuing the "A-Du effect." However, when the mysterious man who was rumored to have been seen shopping at a supermarket with Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan actually stepped into the spotlight, all the media present had to admit that Ocean Butterflies' eye for talent this time might have been even more astute than they had imagined.

The article then details Song Mo's composed and confident attitude at the press conference, even quoting his response, "Just take it as a story," praising his maturity and insight beyond his years.

Regarding the rumors themselves, the report quoted Bi Xiaoshi's official statement, characterizing it as a well-intentioned misunderstanding. However, the report intentionally or unintentionally revealed that this nineteen-year-old young man does indeed possess extraordinary charm.

After reading this report and seeing the photos above, I have to say that this kind of report is much more appealing.

Even though Song Mo knew it was about him, he still read the whole report.

Seeing this, An Ming laughed and said, "Now you're covered in labels: A-Du's junior, Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan's rumored boyfriend, and now a super newcomer in the mainland music scene."

Song Mo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but he didn't have any objection to these labels.

Newcomers all go through this phase; they need labels to become familiar to the public.

Just as Song Mo and his friends were reading these reports, the online discussion was also suddenly heating up.

After the report came out, netizens realized that the mysterious man was actually A-Du's junior, a new singer from Ocean Butterflies Music.

On the entertainment gossip section of Tianya Community, a post titled "The truth comes out: the mysterious man is actually a new artist signed by Ocean Butterflies Music, and this kid is quite good-looking" quickly garnered hundreds of replies in just half a day.

The poster was clearly one of the participants in yesterday's press conference, as the post included many high-definition photos taken at the scene.

1st Floor (Original Poster): I went to Ocean Butterflies Music yesterday to join the fun. I thought I was going to see A-Do, but I was amazed by the newcomer Song Mo. He's so much more handsome in person than in photos, and he has a very unique temperament. Unlike those Hong Kong and Taiwan singers who just shake their heads and rock out, or those mainland rock singers with a melancholic and resentful vibe, he's just clean-cut.

2nd Floor: First! Is the original poster talking about the one who supposedly had an affair with Fan Binbin?

3rd Floor: Bench! I was there too! I also think he's handsome! And he's so calm when he talks. When Bi Xiaoshi asked him to clarify the rumors, he actually said, "Just listen to it as a story." That's so cool!

4th Floor: Pshaw, what's the use of being handsome? There are plenty of handsome guys in the entertainment industry these days. The key is having good work. I heard he's only nineteen and writes both lyrics and music? No way! He's definitely just a product of his company's marketing.

5th Floor: Stop being so sour, who is Bi Xiaoshi? Does he think he can just sign any pretty face? I've heard this guy writes really good songs though.

6th floor: Am I the only one who noticed the aura between him and A-Du? Although A-Du is popular, he has too much of a sense of vicissitude. Song Mo standing next to him feels like a ray of light, particularly eye-catching.

7th Floor: Fan Binbin's fans are not happy! Why are they using our Binbin to promote a newcomer? Get out of the entertainment industry!

8th floor: Replying to 7th floor: Don't get so angry, the person in question has already clarified that they are just friends. Besides, isn't this obviously creating hype for the newcomer? It's all just a show, don't take it too seriously.

9th floor: Am I the only one, a fan of Fan Binbin, who thinks the two are a good match? Looking back at that photo of them running and signing autographs, isn't this much better than "Meteor Garden"?

......

The discussions among netizens were varied, and soon some die-hard fans of the original CP (couple pairing) emerged, with Yang Mi being one of them.

At this moment, she watched the number of posts on Tianya (a Chinese online forum) grow continuously, and continued to enthusiastically promote the CP (couple pairing) of Song Mo and Fan Binbin.

She has been following the news ever since she saw Fan Binbin's rumored relationship on "Celebrity Bigstar".

At the time, she felt that the photo looked too much like a scene from an idol drama, and now she saw a high-definition photo of Song Mo's face.

When handsome men and beautiful women are put together, who wouldn't be confused?

This brought her enthusiasm for shipping the couple to its peak.

Just as Yang Mi was wildly imagining a couple between Song Mo and Fan Binbin.

Yenching, girls' dormitory at the Central Academy of Drama.

Tang Yan had just returned from the training room, covered in sweat, her hair sticking wetly to her forehead.

Her roommate was lying on the bed flipping through magazines when she suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

"Tang Yan, look at this."

My roommate held up the magazine and pointed to a photo on it.

Tang Yan wiped her sweat and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"That guy who was two-timing Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan has come out." My roommate said excitedly, "Look, Ocean Butterflies' newest member is named Song Mo. The newspapers say it was a misunderstanding, they're just ordinary friends."

Tang Yan paused for a moment, stared at the photo for a few seconds, and realized that it matched the person she had met when she accompanied her cousin Tang Feihu to the supermarket that day.

University girls' dormitories are definitely the biggest source of gossip.

These past few days, her dorm has been gossiping about this love triangle. Although she was there that day, she had no idea what the specifics were, and she didn't know that Song Mo's photo was uploaded to the internet by his cousin.

Looking at the report now, I actually remembered the name Song Mo.

"This guy is actually quite handsome." My roommate clicked his tongue twice and flipped through the magazine.

Gossip is only attractive when it's unknown; now that it's been clarified, I don't want to pay attention to it anymore.
