Chapter 36: Creating Miracles

After the second half of the first episode of Creating Idols aired, there were countless girls like Xiao Fang.

They might have already had male stars or trainees they liked, but at this very moment, they were inexplicably turned into fans by Luo Mo.

"I actually became a fan from just half a song!"

"It's absurd, I actually watched a man play the violin, and in just a few short minutes, I forgot my own husband's name!"

"This is lethal, he is just too handsome."

In reality, the number of male fans Luo Mo gained was also not small.

Because the lyrics of Gentle were truly heart-wrenching.

For some, it perhaps stirred up memories of youth; for others, it perhaps brought to mind past regrets.

It brought to mind things once sought but never attained, and things now impossible to let go.

The most absurd part was that many viewers, after enjoying Confession Night, developed the urge to learn the violin.

It turns out that a man playing the violin can be this good-looking.

"I want to learn!"

"Let my son learn!"

"Seeking a partner with heavy rewards, violin players preferred!"

As for those "Mo-born" fans who were already fans of Luo Mo, today they truly could not bring themselves to "kick a man while he's down."

"So satisfying! After this episode finished airing, it was truly satisfying!" They all felt a sense of vindication.

The anger that had been pent up in their hearts all week had completely dissipated.

Most importantly, there was no need for us fans to bicker or go around Shouting; the principal himself helped us settle the score!

And honestly, the experience of being a fan of this star this time was truly a bit magical.

It's like falling in love with a poor boy, you are convinced he is very poor, but in reality, he is a billionaire.

This is no slacker working overtime; this is a creative genius!

Half of Gentle and Confession Night both climbed onto the Weibo Hot Search tonight, sparking heated discussion.

And in the various "Mo-born" fan groups, everyone was also discussing something.

Many expressed that it seems we should change our mindset.

Before, we were "Buddhist-style" in our ranking efforts, and would even intentionally stall Luo Mo's ranking so he wouldn't climb too high.

But looking at it now, he deserves it!

What's more... one simply cannot suppress the urge to boost his ranking!

However, after some discussion, everyone clarified one point: that is to cherish the current atmosphere.

The atmosphere of the "Mo-born" fan group is very good; what everyone advocates is joyful idol-chasing, advocating low-cost, immersive idol-chasing.

Do not affect your life, do not bring pressure upon yourself, do not issue tasks, and do not spend money crazily.

Upon realizing that Luo Mo possesses talent and can bring everyone excellent works, everyone unanimously agreed that if they like his future works, it is acceptable to spend money on him.

However, for this Popularity Support Ranking, the upper limit remains one yuan per person, and it is best not to spend money.

This slogan still stands, and it must be promoted.

As for things like disparaging others, bickering, or inciting conflict, we "Mo-born" do none of it; we are even too lazy to control the comments.

We have only one goal—to watch the handsome guy work overtime!

A unique "fandom" thus inexplicably took shape through various coincidences.

This restless night passed just like that.

The General Director of Creating Idols, Ning Dan, woke up in her large bed.

There are always rumors outside saying that many "little milk dogs" and "little wolf dogs" are determined to climb into her bed... hmm, this is not a rumor.

It's just that no "little fresh meat" has succeeded yet.

She has done too many talent shows and seen too much; she has become a bit numb to "little fresh meat."

Wearing a silk nightgown, she tidied her slightly messy long hair while walking toward the bathroom.

After washing up, she took off her silk nightgown and changed into a skin-tight silk shirt and a black skirt suit.

The perfect curves of her hips filled out the skirt suit completely, without the slightest hint of flatness.

As she walked, her buttocks swayed back and forth, and the skirt suit stretched and contracted with a certain rhythm.

After walking to a certain spot, Ning Dan opened her rotating watch cabinet, picked out a diamond-encrusted watch to wear, and then called her driver and assistant to bring the van over.

Last night, she did not watch the recorded Creating Idols, nor did she check any information related to this variety show on any platform.

This is one of her major habits; she is accustomed to looking at the compiled data the next day.

Today, besides holding an internal meeting for the production team, she also had to hold a video conference with the contact personnel from Penguin Music.

The first episode of Creating Idols has finished airing, and the performances brought by the trainees will also be launched on the major platform, Penguin Music.

The evaluations of the five star mentors can indeed serve as a reference. However, the feedback given by the market is the most authentic.

She is very clear that the show Creating Idols has already exploded in popularity. This show will likely become the peak of her career so far, breaking all previous records!

Under such high heat, the data of some songs on Penguin Music will have great reference value.

After finishing the internal meeting, Ning Dan was in a great mood.

"The data really didn't disappoint me." She pursed her plump lips and smiled slightly.

This time, she once again crushed all other talent shows in the industry!

Just after the first episode aired, a record had already been broken!

At 10:30 in the morning, Penguin Music sent a request for a video call.

After the call connected, Ning Dan began communicating with the team leader at Penguin Music responsible for this account.

This female team leader could be considered an old acquaintance of Ning Dan; as soon as the call connected, she started by buttering Ning Dan up.

"Ah! Ning Dao, your skin looks so good today, it's truly enviable," she said with a smile.

In reality, this statement could be considered sincere; she was indeed envious.

Ning Dan was three years older than her, but whether it was her skin or her figure, both were far better than her own.

Ning Dan cut straight to the point and said, "Give me the data, and also, the usual rule: single out any data fluctuations that look strange and report them separately."

The female team leader said with a beaming smile, "This time, the data will definitely satisfy Ning Dao. I can tell Ning Dao directly that just this morning, the senior executives were all beaming with joy, all because the data is excellent!"

The streaming platforms for *Creating Idols* were signed with Pineapple TV and Penguin Video. However, all the songs within it were only signed with Penguin Music; Penguin Music was the exclusive platform.

Currently, competition among the major platforms is very intense; the fact that the senior executives are all in such high spirits shows just how impressive the data is!

"Tell me in detail," Ning Dan said calmly.

The female team leader said, "On the Rising Chart and the New Song Chart, *Creating Idols* has a total of 6 songs on the charts, among which three songs are on both charts simultaneously."

As she spoke, she said with a wry smile, "The strangest one among them is that song *Gentle*; it is clearly only half a song and not even a finished product, yet the data is not bad at all."

"Ning Dao, is there really no complete version you can give us?" she asked.

The data team analyzed it: unless the chorus part of this *Gentle* is super lackluster, otherwise, it will very likely be a hit song!

Half a song really affects the listening experience, especially if you are using Loop, it will be very uncomfortable; many people are also unwilling to download it, thinking they might as well wait for the complete version.

Under these circumstances, for the data to still be this competitive, it's just incredible!

"Not for the time being," Ning Dan answered very directly.

The female team leader sighed in disappointment and said, "Ning Dao, the senior executives value this Luo Mo very much. President Li told me this morning that if Ning Dao can provide the complete version of *Gentle* here, we can add three extra days of homepage banners from Monday to Wednesday, and we can also give this Luo Mo some additional promotion."

"Oh? President Li thinks that highly of him?" Ning Dan did not reply directly, but instead asked a question.

"Yes," the female team leader brushed her black hair and said with emotion, "There is a piece of data I didn't tell Ning Dao just now. In fact, there is another song today that has climbed onto three charts. Besides the Rising Chart and the New Song Chart, it also made it onto the Hot Song Chart!"

The nature of the Hot Song Chart is different from the other two charts; the data for the Rising Chart can be increased through other methods, but to get on the Hot Song Chart, it relies solely on listening data and download data!

And in the New Song Chart, as the name implies, it only includes new songs, while the Hot Song Chart allows all songs to chart, looking only at their total popularity within a week!

"Today is Sunday," Ning Dan said.

The female team leader nodded and said, "Yes, the show only aired on Saturday night, and it is currently only Sunday morning; that is what is so terrifying!"

The total popularity of other songs on the Hot Song Chart is accumulated from Monday to Sunday.

As for this one, it has only been one night plus one morning!

It has only been a few hours!?

"Which song is it, and what rank is it on the Hot Song Chart?" Ning Dan asked.

The female team leader replied, "It is ranked 98th, hanging at the bottom; it is *Confession Night*!"

She looked at Ning Dan and said, "Ning Dao, do you know how long it has been since a new piece of pure music made it onto the Hot Song Chart? Four years; it has already been four years!"

"And starting from next Monday, this *Confession Night* will definitely surge forward! Next week will be the stage where its ranking skyrockets!"

"It really is *Confession Night*..." Ning Dan said softly, stunned for a moment.

Earlier, when the female team leader said the senior executives valued Luo Mo highly, she had already made some guesses.

But for it to really be *Confession Night*, it was truly a bit absurd.

If it were in the past, she could never have imagined that a piece of music from a piano duel would actually crush the songs of all the other trainees in the various data metrics after the initial stage aired!

Yet this Luo Mo just happened to create a miracle.
