Chapter 291: The Most Anticipated Creative Newcomer

"Huh, Luo Mo, why did you share this song 'A Person Like Me' on your WeChat Moments?" Jiang Ningxi asked, holding her phone.

"It's just appreciation between peers," Luo Mo said with a wave of his hand.

——Just narcissism. jpg.

Jiang Ningxi nodded without saying anything more. She also liked this song very much; after all, don't forget, this female top student still had a bit of a literary side, and she paid more attention to lyrics when listening to songs.

Shen Yinuo leaned over, half her body pressing directly onto Jiang Ningxi, her chest squeezing against Jiang Ningxi's square shoulders, while one hand rested on the sofa between Jiang Ningxi's crossed legs to support herself, saying:

"Let me see what Luo Mo posted on his Moments?"

"You're heavy!" Jiang Ningxi resisted for a moment, but finally had to pick up her phone to show her, muttering: "Can't you look at your own phone?"

"Ouch, I'm taking the chance to flirt with you!" Saying this, Xiao Shen deliberately rubbed her nose against Jiang Jiang's earlobe.

After finishing the Moments post Luo Mo had shared, Shen Yinuo turned her head to look at him and said: "Luo Mo, are you really praising this 【Earth】 so blatantly?"

"What's wrong, is there a problem?" Luo Mo said indifferently.

"There is, this Moments post of yours will definitely be screenshotted by your WeChat friends and posted online," Shen Yinuo said.

This is a very normal thing; many celebrities can't even post on their Moments casually because you never know which friend might suddenly expose it.

And the Moments posts that everyone sees most often on the internet mostly come from that person... Wang Sicong.

This guy's Moments are always being exposed, damn it, exposed at the drop of a hat.

Luo Mo shrugged indifferently and said: "It's fine, just consider it free promotion for them."

——I'm promoting myself. jpg.

Shen Yinuo rolled her eyes at him and said: "You really are generous; do you know how much a promotional post is worth as a Top Traffic star?"

As a company shareholder, Miss Shen strongly resisted this personal behavior of Luo Mo's.

"How much could it be worth? It's priceless but has no market," Luo Mo said.

To this day, he has never accepted an advertisement on any social platform using his personal account.

As long as he wanted to accept them, just from advertising fees alone, earning a 'small goal' in a year would be easy.

"Fine, fine, suit yourself," Shen Yinuo stretched, causing the hem of her clothes to shift up slightly, revealing a small section of her slender waist.

Now that the night was deep and quiet, with one man and six women, Luo Mo began to shoo them away.

"Alright, the show is finished, you all should go back," Luo Mo said.

Seeing him start to shoo them away again, Shen Yinuo said irritably: "Every time I want to hang out with you, you refuse to come to my place, and insist on making our whole group come to your place; I don't know what you're up to."

"Because my place is safer," Luo Mo said.

"Boys out and about also need to learn to protect themselves," Luo Mo added.

Shen Yinuo was so angry she could die, howling: "Ahhh! You narcissist, none of us Aurora Girls will even think about romance before we're thirty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other five people instantly lowered their heads.

Several of them couldn't help but glance at Luo Mo before lowering their heads.

"The... the law doesn't punish the masses, right?" they thought to themselves.

The viewership ratings and online streaming numbers for *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* remained stable.

It has now been three weeks since it started airing, and the viewership rating has climbed to nearly 1.

This made the head of Octopus TV, Xu Guan, incredibly excited, because in these years, apart from the three major satellite channels, no other regional satellite channel had produced a work that broke 1.

For the entire television station, this would be a leap forward!

With the help of *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan*, Octopus TV will move up a level!

"It's just a pity that *Celestial Sword 5* is too short," Xu Guan said with some regret.

Nowadays, many TV dramas are seventy or eighty episodes long at every turn, and those seventy or eighty episodes might only be the first season, unable to finish telling the story at all.

Especially many IP dramas adapted from web novels; if they were to be filmed properly, they would start at one hundred episodes.

Xu Guan wished that the glory of *Celestial Sword 5* could last a little longer.

Now, Octopus TV's weekend theater had just shown signs of improvement, and the momentum was great.

However, once *Celestial Sword 5* finishes airing, we... what are we going to air as a follow-up!

If we air a flop next, then all the benefits brought by *Celestial Sword 5* will be cut in half.

This caused Xu Guan immense annoyance, leading to the head of the acquisitions department at Octopus TV being scolded every day.

Because *Celestial Sword 5* was bought by Xu Guan's decision against all opposition, the acquisitions head had no credit for it at all.

Now, if he couldn't find a TV drama with the strength to follow up, that was his fault!

The acquisitions head just turned 40 this year, and being lectured like an intern every day, the pressure was immense.

While station head Xu Guan was in pain and happy at the same time, that dog of a director Ke Ming was blooming with joy once again.

"Luo Mo, the God of Variety!" Ke Ming crowned Luo Mo in his heart and built a golden statue for him.

The premiere results of the first episode of *Masked Singer* were very good, both in terms of television viewership ratings and the online streaming numbers on Penguin Video.

The achievement of breaking 100 million views on the first day online had already been reached, and the word-of-mouth was also good.

Although it wasn't as explosive as the first episode of *King of Love Songs* and there was a gap, it definitely counted as a big hit for the beginning of this year.

You have to know, the reason *King of Love Songs* became a hit from the first episode was entirely because the celebrity lineup was too strong, not only having Heavenly Kings and first-tier and second-tier Singers, but also being the variety show debut of Luo Mo, this Top Traffic star, after his debut.

*Masked Singer* uses a masked format, so in terms of the lineup, one can only rely on guessing; it can only be used to create suspense, but cannot be used for promotion, so there will be a certain gap in the early stages.

"But, it's enough! It's completely enough!" Ke Ming looked at the results, which had already far exceeded his estimated value.

The most important thing is that the online discussion is no less than *King of Love Songs*!

Netizens are all guessing the identities of the masked Singers, and... the creator 【Earth】!

Yes, the most popular song in the first episode of the entire show is "A Person Like Me".

With the songs from *Blue and White Porcelain* and *Immortal Sword* dominating the charts, this song rose abruptly, charging into first place on the New Song Chart and directly rushing into the top ten of the Hot Song Chart, showing fierce momentum.

It is hard to imagine that the current number one on the Hot Song Chart... is still Luo Mo's *Blue and White Porcelain*.

It has been over a month since the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this song still looks down upon all its peers.

And following behind this song is still a long string of songs written by Luo Mo.

It can be said that the top five of the Hot Song Chart were originally occupied by Luo Mo's creations, but now, there is finally one more song written by someone else.

Therefore, many people are discussing who exactly the 【Superstar】 is.

And what kind of works will this creative newcomer called 【Earth】 bring next?

"I can't guess who 【Superstar】 is at all, no clue whatsoever."

"Yeah, but in this episode of the show, his content is the most moving."

"Go shine, instead of being illuminated!"

"The song is also good to listen to; no high-pitched notes or showing off skills, it's just very touching."

"By the way, who is this 【Earth】? The music scene in recent years is too lacking in excellent creators."

Because the identity of 【Superstar】 is a mystery, many demons and monsters looking to ride the coattails have emerged.

Many singers who also have a bit of a folk voice intentionally spend money to buy Hot Searches, with entries mostly being: "【Superstar】 suspected to be XXX!"

Many people curiously click in, and then express doubts underneath: "The vocal timbre and style are completely different!"

"Total nonsense, you guys don't even look like the same height, okay?"

"What is going on? Which brainless guys are guessing it's him?"

After the hype is stirred up, these singers then personally "debunk the rumors," stating that they are not 【Superstar】 at all.

And then the debunking makes it onto the Hot Search.

Handling both the rumor-mongering and the debunking themselves, it's simply outrageous.

And in the afternoon, with the appearance of a Hot Search, everyone's attention was no longer attracted by this group of demons and monsters, but was all gathered on another person.

This Hot Search is called: Luo Mo's Moments.

Yes, Luo Mo's Moments were exposed.

As a Top Traffic, his every move is highly watched; this Hot Search directly Air Dropped to the first place on the Hot Search list, and the view count broke ten million before long.

Netizens clicked in to take a look, and then were greatly shocked.

"Luo Mo actually shared *A Person Like Me* on his Moments?"

"Hahaha! I also shared it after watching the show yesterday; I am in sync with Luo Mo!"

"Yo, so Luo Mo's aesthetic is exactly the same as mine!"

"He said this song is written quite interestingly, which is equivalent to praising 【Earth】 along with it!"

"Hahahaha, his Moments were actually exposed!"

"He must be thinking, who exactly exposed my Moments!"

"Luo Mo: Kongzi doesn't know, Mozi doesn't know, Laozi is also very confused!"

But it must be said, with the appearance of this Hot Search, the popularity of the song *A Person Like Me* directly soared!

At the same time, more people have also started to pay attention to the creator 【Earth】.

These days, many people are actually too lazy to spend so much time watching singing variety shows in their entirety.

Many people just watch a small portion directly, on Hot Searches or short video platforms, and finish after watching the stage performance of a good song.

So many people actually only heard this song and did not see the judging panel's discussion about the character 【Earth】.

With the appearance of this Luo Mo Moments post, the two terms 【Superstar】 and 【Earth】 climbed to second and third on the Hot Search respectively.

—The traffic-driving effect is simply superb!

This also led some people to guess: "Is Luo Mo helping that dog director Ke Ming advertise?"

"Yeah, after all, everyone is collaborating quite well, and Ke Ming even spent a large sum of money to buy the naming rights for the medley song *King of Love Songs*."

"Hey! As soon as you mention *King of Love Songs*, I get angry! There are so many songs in it, why hasn't a full version been released yet!"

"Luo Mo! Work overtime!!!"

"I also think Luo Mo is actually promoting *Masked Singer*."

"By the way, will Luo Mo go? Will Tong Shu go? Will Sun Yi go?"

Many people are looking forward to these three appearing on the stage of *Masked Singer*, completely forgetting that Luo Mo Studio also has a person named Li Junyi.

And as one thing after another continues to ferment, 【Superstar】 has already become the biggest highlight of the variety show *Masked Singer*.

At the same time, even the songwriter 【Earth】 has been given a title by the media and marketing accounts.

They do this, perhaps to attract eyeballs.

"【Earth】, the most anticipated creative newcomer this year!"

Someone even wrote a sentence in an article:

"Last summer, Luo Mo appeared out of nowhere and amazed everyone. Now, 【Earth】's creative debut is equally extraordinary, so will he become the second Luo Mo?"

(ps: First update, asking for monthly tickets!)
