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

Three songs, three completely different styles, and every single one is great.

Yang Mi was so eager to find out how many good songs were left on the album.

She started making phone calls to request songs.

These days, requesting songs isn't cheap. Local call charges, information fees, and call charges add up to tens of yuan for a single call.

Moreover, everyone was at home at that time, and there were a lot of people requesting songs, so you would often have to wait for tens of minutes, and those tens of minutes would cost money.

But she gritted her teeth and spent several days making dozens of phone calls.

From Song Mo's albums, from "Reverse Earth" and "Love Song" to "Summer".

I listened to each song, one by one.

She quickly listened to all 12 songs, and among them, her favorite was not the chart-topping hits, but a song called "Summer".

The melody of that song was as light and cheerful as running in the sunshine. Every time she heard it, it reminded her of the days when she could play freely and have fun anywhere.

It's summer now, but she can only stay at home.

To listen to these songs, she spent almost half of the savings she had secretly accumulated since becoming a model, but she didn't feel bad at all.

That's just the kind of person she is; she'll do everything in her power to pursue what she likes, whether it's being a model or her dream of entering the entertainment industry.

After listening to Song Mo's song, she went all out, launching attacks on Tianya, promoting Song Mo's song while criticizing those who smeared Song Mo.

During this process, she also unexpectedly met some people who liked Song Moge. She has always liked to organize things since she was a child, and without hesitation, she established the first Song Moge fan club on the Internet.

Later, Yanjing was unsealed.

She rushed to the music store and bought the album immediately.

The cover is dark gray, with Song Mo in the center, looking aloof and cold. The overall design is incredibly simple.

She paid thirty-five yuan, stuffed the album into her schoolbag, and jogged home.

She listened to the CD player on repeat mode from the first song to the last, spending the entire afternoon listening.

Song Mo has become her favorite singer this summer.

In addition to promoting her favorite singers online, her classmates naturally became the targets of her recommendations as well.

She was the big sister in school, and her words carried weight, which is why she recommended Song Mo's songs in the QQ group.

It quickly yielded results; within a short time, almost all the girls became fans of Song Mo under her call, which also contributed to the sales of dozens of albums.

During this period, their class QQ group has become a small fan group of Song Mo.

People talk about Song Mo's songs and share photos of Song Mo's previous roadshows every day.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the group chat had quieted down.

Yang Mi turned the radio volume up a little, leaned back on the sofa, and put her feet up on the coffee table.

When Song Mo entered the live broadcast studio of Yanjing Traffic Radio, the host Liu Sijia was already sitting inside.

She is the leading lady of Yanjing Traffic Radio. Her voice is gentle but not cloying, and her speaking pace is neither too fast nor too slow, just like her name, making people feel comfortable listening to her.

She stood up, shook hands with Song Mo, and said with a smile, "Song Mo, you are really handsome in person. I've been looking forward to your arrival. My hotline has been ringing off the hook with calls from listeners asking about you."

Song Mo smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Liu. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"No trouble at all, I've been looking forward to this for a long time too." Liu Sijia pointed to the chair opposite her. "Sit down, let's chat casually, just like we usually do."

The live broadcast room wasn't large; outside the soundproof glass was the control room, where several staff members, wearing headphones, were busy working in front of the screen.

The director stuck a piece of paper on the glass that read, "The hotline is overwhelmed, and the message wall is flooded with comments." Liu Sijia glanced at it, shook her head with a smile, and spoke into the microphone.

"Dear listeners, welcome to today's 'Smooth Sailing'. We have a special guest in our studio today. You should all be familiar with his voice by now. Welcome, Song Mo."

Song Mo greeted the microphone: "Hello everyone, I'm Song Mo. I'm very happy to be here on 'Smooth Sailing' to chat with you all."

Liu Sijia turned her head to look at him, her tone relaxed: "Song Mo, your album 'Pen, Ink, Paper, and Inkstone' has only been released for a little over a month, and it has already sold over 800,000 copies. This is an amazing achievement for a newcomer. Did you expect it?"

Song Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head: "To be honest, no. When I was making this album, all I thought about was making each song the best it could be. I didn't think about anything else. I have to thank everyone who was willing to stop and listen to me sing for the success I have achieved."

Liu Sijia nodded and then asked, "This album has four songs: 'Jiangnan,' 'Luzhou Moon,' 'Rain on Qingming Festival,' and 'Snow on the Broken Bridge.' You named them 'Chinese Style.' Why did you think of creating songs in this style?"

Song Mo paused for two seconds, organizing his thoughts.

"Actually, the idea is very simple. I am Chinese. I grew up listening to Tang and Song poems. When I read lines like 'small bridges, flowing water, and houses,' or 'smoke shrouds the cold water, and the moon shrouds the sand,' images naturally come to mind. Those images are beautiful, but I find that this kind of feeling is rarely heard in today's popular music."

He paused, his voice calming down: "I was thinking, could we use a modern melody to match the ancient imagery? So that when young people hear this song, they can feel the misty rain of Jiangnan, the moonlight of Luzhou, and the Broken Bridge of West Lake. These are our culture, and they should not be forgotten."

Liu Sijia listened quietly without interrupting him.

"That's why I wrote these songs," Song Mo said. "It's not about being retro; it's about letting young people know, in a way that they like, that our own things are also beautiful and catchy."

Yang Mi lay on the sofa, listening to Song Mo's voice coming through the radio, word by word. She couldn't help but nod vigorously, thinking how incredibly pleasant that voice sounded.

She rolled over, hugged the radio to her chest, and turned the volume up a notch.

Liu Sijia asked a few more questions about the album production, which Song Mo answered one by one.

At this moment, Liu Sijia changed the subject, her tone tinged with curiosity: "Song Mo, I have another question, one that the listeners are sure to be very curious about as well. The female lead lineup for your album's music videos is quite luxurious, with Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, and Fan Binbin—all three of them are currently very popular actresses. How did you manage to invite them?"

Song Mo smiled; he knew someone would ask this question sooner or later.

During this period, with the rapid increase in album sales, Song Mo's super luxurious MV female lead group has naturally aroused heated discussions among fans.

After all, it's rare to see so many popular female stars in a music video.

"It was actually quite a coincidence," he said naturally. "Liu Yifei is the younger sister of a good friend of mine. She was on vacation at the time, and I needed a female lead with a strong youthful vibe, so I asked her to help out. She's a very nice person and agreed without hesitation. We filmed in Hainan for a long time, and she got quite tanned."

At this moment, a young girl who was waiting to listen to the live radio broadcast heard this and couldn't help but spit out a light spit, "Who's dark-skinned? You're the one who's dark-skinned."

Upon hearing Song Mo's words, Liu Sijia immediately laughed, then asked with a gossipy look, "What about Gao Yuanyuan?"

"Sister Yuanyuan is a friend I've known for a long time. The music video for the song 'Jiangnan' tells a story of three lifetimes and requires a female lead with a classical temperament. I immediately thought of her. At the time, she was filming in Xiangshan. After finishing filming, she rushed over and filmed in Suzhou for three days. I believe everyone will love her performance."

Upon hearing Song Mo's words, Yang Mi, on the other end of the radio, felt a sudden sense of disorientation upon hearing the phrase "three lifetimes."

"What about Fan Binbin?" Liu Sijia pressed, her tone slightly mischievous.
