Chapter 24 Theme Song Individual Assessment (V Three-in-One)
In front of the camera, Mo Bei's posture remained stiff. The staff responsible for recording the solo video mistakenly thought he was nervous and offered comfort.
"Relax..."
Unexpectedly, the other party's state changed in the next second. He slowly squatted down, his slender body tense like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Seeing that the other party had already made preparations, the staff member quickly changed the topic: "Can we start?"
"Um."
In the dance studio of over 100 square meters, everyone's attention, whether it was the contestants or the on-site staff, was focused on Mo Bei.
After pressing the record button, the theme song's music accompaniment sounded in the classroom, and the boy in front of the camera slowly stood up.
Accompanied by the cheerful beat, the boy in front of him changed from his previous AI-like stiff state to a youthful young man in an instant.
In front of the camera, the boy smiled warmly and had bright eyes, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.
Spinning, jumping, every movement shows youthful energy. Where is the cold and aloof image in their impression?
For a moment, countless comments flashed through everyone's mind -
Isn't it said that Botox can't make big expressions? Why can he still smile so happily on stage?
Is this still the Jiang Mo Nan they know?
On the stage, the boy's clear and bright voice sounded.
His singing brought them back to their carefree school days, recalling the playful frolicking with classmates during recess, the youthful memories of running along the beach, and the paper airplanes they released from the rooftop of the teaching building after the college entrance exam.
“No matter how many times you fall, never give up.”
“No matter how many times you fail, never regret it.”
"Youth only comes once, let us chase the sun and run towards the future with our dreams."
If the lyrics of the theme song "Dream Chasing Boys" only express the voices of these dream-chasing boys, then the singing of the person in front of us seems to have truly touched their hearts.
By the end of the song, no one had recovered from their shock.
Even though they were both contestants, they couldn't help but be shocked by each other's expressiveness.
It is true that they had already witnessed Jiang Mo Nan's strength in the previous dance and vocal class, but his performance at that time was far from being as dazzling as it was just now.
No one expected that Jiang Mo Nan would make such rapid progress in just three days.
The opponent is too strong.
Even without the help of makeup and stage lights, she can still perform so dazzlingly. It's like she was born to be on the stage!
Realizing this, some people suddenly felt mixed emotions.
There's already such a strong opponent in Class C, not to mention the even stronger Classes A and B. How are we going to get through the rest of the day?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but regret.
If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have let the other party go first.
With such a good example before him, wouldn’t those who performed after him be completely outdone?
Unlike those contestants who had mixed emotions, Zhao Xi was the first one to rush up and give Mo Bei a big bear hug after his performance.
"Oh my god! Brother Mo Nan, you are so amazing! You will definitely be able to move up this time!"
Zhao Xi's enthusiasm made Mo Bei feel at a loss. Afraid that the other party would smell the stench of the corpse, he quietly distanced himself from the other party.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi has a carefree personality and didn't notice anything wrong.
After recording the individual assessment video, Mo Bei's energy was almost exhausted.
But even so, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a huge stone weighing on his heart had been completely lifted.
During the following period, he acted as a spectator without any worries.
Two hours later, the assessment videos of all 100 contestants were recorded.
The four mentors who had been waiting in the judging room for a long time also began to make the final ratings based on the contestants' performance in the video.
The mentors all have their own schedules and are not at the training base except for the teaching time specified by the program team. Therefore, they do not know what kind of training results these contestants will eventually show.
"I'm really looking forward to it. Some of the contestants have left a deep impression on me. I wonder what they can achieve in three days."
Because she was only a nominal mentor and did not directly participate in the daily teaching work, Ai Yao had no idea how the contestants performed privately after the initial stage.
"I'm curious too." Lu Ye smiled and said, "I feel like the performances of several contestants have improved significantly compared to their first stage performance. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to make a comeback and rise higher."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the score sheet and asked, "Which class starts first?"
"Class F," An Junze said. "As the saying goes, 'It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.' I'm afraid that after seeing the kids in Class A, I won't be impressed by the kids in Class F."
"I think so too." Li Zhaokai paused, "But speaking of Class F, there's one person who surprised me."
Hearing this, An Junze smiled slightly, "I think I know who you're talking about. If it's him, then it's really worth watching."
"who?"
Ai Yao and Lu also looked over in confusion.
"Let's not talk about who it is for now." Li Zhaokai coughed and said, "What if he doesn't perform well in the assessment? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of both of us?"
"Haha, that's true."
However, after watching the assessment videos of 20 Class F contestants in succession, Ai Yao, who had originally been full of anticipation, suddenly began to doubt her life: "Where is that contestant you just mentioned who's worth looking forward to?"
Although she had left the stage for many years, her aesthetic taste was still normal. She really didn't see what was so interesting about these people's performances.
Although Class F's performance was much better than the disastrous first stage, it wasn't much better.
I don’t know if it’s because they were nervous about performing alone in front of the camera, but these people either forgot the moves or the lyrics. Some of them even just moved a few times and then stood there singing, looking like they had given up.
With such performance, how could anyone be willing to vote for them after the show airs? The audience is not stupid!
Seeing these people's performance, Ai Yao couldn't help but wonder if they were paid to get in through the backdoor. Even if it was advertised as a "pure amateur talent show," it couldn't really be this amateurish! The level of performance wasn't even as good as a high school art performance.
Lu also spread his hands. "It's impossible. These people's foundation is too weak. Some of them have never danced before. Even if some of them can sing, they can't sing and dance at the same time. So it's understandable that they gave up dancing for the individual assessment."
Looking through the F class roster, An Jun said, "Be patient, there's only one student left in Class F."
As soon as the words were spoken, a particularly pleasing face appeared in the video.
Even the most knowledgeable mentors in the entertainment industry have to admit that the contestant named Bai Li is indeed very good-looking.
Ai Yao looked at An Junze and Lu Ye, "Could he be the promising F class player you were talking about?"
Although she asked this question, Ai Yao actually didn't think so. After all, Bai Li's magical sound in the first stage performance was very impressive.
It is really hard to imagine that someone with such strength could turn around and become an excellent student within three days.
Without waiting for the two people's answer, the handsome man whose gender was difficult to tell in the picture began to dance.
To her surprise, Bai Li's dancing wasn't as bad as she'd imagined. Unfortunately, his vocals were still quite poor, bordering on being off-key at times. It wasn't until the rap part of the chorus that his performance began to improve.
Although his singing wasn't great and his dancing was just so-so, compared to his explosive debut performance, it was clear he had put in the effort. Given his foundation, getting to where he is now in just three days was no small feat.
However, compared with her singing and dancing skills, Bai Li’s biggest advantage is her face.
He looked so beautiful in the camera, so beautiful that no matter how well he performed, their focus was still on his face.
Every smile, every turn, every frown, every glance, every turn was incredibly captivating. It was clearly a youthful song, but the way he danced carried a strange allure. Yet, he didn't wink or bite his lip in a greasy way.
After observing for a while, Ai Li felt that all this was thanks to the other person's eyes.
I have to say that Bai Li's eyes are very beautiful. The inner corners of her eyes are sharply curved downwards, and her eyes are slightly upturned, just like a beautiful fox.
And he also seems to know how to use his eyes to convey emotions.
It is precisely because of his outstanding eye skills that he instantly stands out among players of equal strength.
This is what is called the stage charm bonus.
Moreover, unlike other idols, Bai Li's charm seems to be something that he is born with and others cannot learn from him.
After watching Bai Li's performance, Ai Yao, who had been a little disappointed before, gradually sat up straight.
"Although his vocals still have some major flaws, it's much better than his debut performance."
Lu also looked at the others: "Do you think D or C is more suitable?"
A C is a bit high, but a D feels low. Class C mostly consists of students who are partial to certain subjects. They might excel in one subject but be weak in the other two. Class D, on the other hand, isn't bad enough to get an F, but isn't good enough to get a C either.
But everyone has witnessed Bai Li's performance. A person with no basic skills can practice dancing to this level within three days, which shows that he does have some talent.
Even though his vocals are still as bad as ever, there are always people with poor vocals who debut in a group. As long as his other strengths can make up for it, it's fine.
Judging from the current situation, the other party seems to have some potential in dancing and rap.
After much deliberation, the four instructors finally gave Bai Li a grade of C.
Although this level is a bit inflated, it is reasonable considering his star status.
Although the C-level does not have as many shots as the AB-level, it is not a problem at all for Bai Li, who has a face that attracts fans as soon as she shows her face.
Once he gets the chance to perform on stage, he will definitely attract a large number of people who love good looks. Although people always say that strength is the most important thing, in the face of absolute appearance, strength sometimes seems less important.
Especially in talent shows, good looks are a passport to advancement as a contestant.
Of course, this is only in the early stages. If he still has no growth in the later stages, the audience will not continue to indulge in a useless vase.
After finishing the evaluation of Class F, the instructors worked overtime to review Class D.
Compared to Class F, Class D performed much better overall. They didn't make the simple mistake of forgetting the words or movements, nor did they abandon dancing to keep singing or abandon singing to keep dancing.
It is still a little difficult for these contestants who have not received professional training to sing and dance at the same time, so they often feel out of breath while singing and dancing.
The only surprise was Lin Jiongyi, the top student admitted to National Tsing Hua University. On his first performance, he claimed he'd never listened to a single pop song, let alone learned to dance. But after three days of training, he surprisingly outperformed most of the students in Class D.
Perhaps because he'd been studying opera since childhood, his singing was remarkably full and steady. While his dancing was clearly a novice, at least he didn't miss or misstep. In terms of performance, he was arguably the best in Class D.
After some discussion, the tutors finally gave him a B.
When it was Class C's turn, Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Class D's performance was so good, it would be disappointing if Class C wasn't even as good as them."
"The first one in Class C is... Jiang Mo Nan?"
Looking through the list of contestants, a look of understanding flashed across Ai Yao's face. "I remember him. He left a deep impression on the first stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin figure appeared in the center of the screen.
Seeing this, she held her breath.
The reason is simple: the other person's appearance is too conspicuous.
When they saw Jiang Monan with their naked eyes before, they felt that he looked like Mo Bei. Now, seeing him through the camera, they felt that was even more so.
Lu couldn't help but gasp in amazement: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine that there are people in this world who look so alike. They're simply twins..."
An Jun nodded, "Not only do they look alike, they sound alike too."
"There's still a slight difference." Ai Yao said, "Mo Bei loves to laugh, but Jiang Monan looks like a cool guy who goes for the aloof route."
Recalling the moment when Jiang Monan confessed on stage that he couldn't make big expressions because he had Botox, several male mentors fell silent.
Fortunately, this embarrassing topic did not last long, and the assessment began soon.
Because they are responsible for the contestants' vocal, dance and rap courses, An Junze and the other two know very well that Jiang Mo'nan's true ability is not as bad as he showed in the second half of the first stage.
Even so, when they saw Jiang Mo Nan's theme song solo assessment video with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel surprised.
The moment the music started, the person in the picture, who was originally cold and stiff like a puppet, seemed to be instantly infused with a soul and became lively.
He raised his head and gave a bright smile to the camera, and this smile directly changed their stereotyped impression of Jiang Mo Nan.
It turns out that he can laugh.
Along with the brisk dance steps, a bright and clear voice reached my ears. In an instant, the atmosphere in the judging room began to become cheerful and relaxed.
Compared with his usual practice in class, Jiang Mo'nan's performance in this individual assessment was more complete.
Not only is her singing steady and breathless, but her dance moves are also very smooth and clear, as if she had practiced them countless times.
More importantly, he knows how to express himself on stage. Every raised hand, tilted head, and sideways movement becomes a node that exudes his charm.
While other contestants were still stuck at the stage of memorizing lyrics and trying not to make mistakes in movements, Jiang Monan had already reached another level.
Whether in terms of the visual appeal of his movements or the appeal of his stage performance, he is far superior to those contestants who sing and dance with masks of pain on their faces.
He handled the scene with ease, like a veteran with many years of rich stage performance experience.
Once upon a time, they thought Jiang Mo Nan couldn't convey the youthful energy of the theme song. After all, he had previously given people the impression of being mature, aloof, and taciturn.
But they never expected that all of them would be severely slapped in the face by each other's performance.
What is stage presence? This is it!
Even though his age and appearance don't quite fit the cute, youthful style, he still managed to accurately convey the concept of the song through his stage performance. More importantly, his voice directly gave the song the most appropriate emotion.
This is the first player they have seen to do this.
"People like this shouldn't stay in Class C anymore." Lu Ye looked at the other instructors, "What do you think?"
Ai Yao nodded: "I think he should go to A. His performance can definitely be called that of a mature artist."
"Is it true that this Jiang Mo Nan has never been a trainee and has absolutely no stage performance experience before participating in the competition?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look through the other party's information, but unfortunately it was blank.
Seeing this, Ai Yao couldn't help but be shocked.
It's really mysterious.
An Junze: "Then let him get an A."
In fact, if it weren’t for the mistake on the first stage, Jiang Mo Nan would probably have been in Class A long ago.
All three mentors gave the same opinion, and Li Zhaokai, who could find no fault with it, naturally did not object.
The assessment for Class C concluded quickly. Aside from a few promotions or demotions, most students remained at their original levels.
Afterward, most of the B and A classes performed normally, with neither decline nor rise. Of course, there were some exceptional individuals who shot straight from B to A, such as the child star Chang Jun.
After the levels of all members were determined, the host Zeng Yu and four mentors went to the five classes respectively to issue new level cards to the contestants.
In Class C, Zhao Xi clung to Mo Bei's arm, looking worried: "Will I be demoted to Class F?"
He had been practicing hard during this period, but when recording a solo video, he got nervous and made a mistake, causing him to miss a move midway. He might even be demoted because of this incident.
Mo Bei calmly pulled his arm out of Zhao Xi's arms and comforted her, "Maybe things are not as bad as you think."
He was watching Zhao Xi while he was taking the test. In fact, his mistakes were very small and would not have been noticed at all if you didn't look carefully.
However, it was a different story for Zhao Xi, who was fully aware of his mistake. Just as he was feeling uneasy, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.
In an instant, everyone shut up and sat up straight.
Then, instructor An Junze walked in from outside the classroom holding a stack of level cards.
Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood, or maybe it was because he was naturally cold-faced, but when he came on stage, the contestants felt that the temperature in the classroom instantly dropped several degrees.
An Jun glanced at the anxious Class C contestants, said nothing, and directly announced their names—
"Wang Yiwei."
I didn't expect the instructor to announce the contestant's level so directly. The contestant who was called was stunned for a moment, then walked forward with a look of bereaved grief.
Because the level card was folded, no one except the person himself could see the contents. However, seeing the dejected expression on his face after reading the card, I could probably guess the final result.
"Zhang Xinyi."
"Yu Feng."
“…”
An Junze doesn't like to drag things out, and the level cards were almost distributed in a short while.
Zhao Xi took the card nervously, held his breath, and opened it slowly.
After seeing the letters clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could share the good news with Mo Bei, the person next to him had already been called.
"Jiang Mo Nan."
Unlike the other Class C players around him who looked nervous, Mo Bei's expression was as calm as ever.
An Jun glanced at him and handed the card over.
The person before him calmly opened it, then calmly closed it again. It was as if he had known this outcome, as if his nerves and muscles had truly died.
"Are you unhappy?" An Jun couldn't help but ask curiously.
Mo Bei nodded, "Happy."
"and you……"
As if he suddenly thought of something, An Jun opened his mouth but ultimately did not ask the question.
She had already said before that she couldn't make big expressions because of Botox injections, so was there any need for him to ask such unnecessary questions now?
But speaking of big expressions, wasn't this guy smiling happily in the video of the individual assessment?
And if you look closely, the face is not stiff at all...
Could it be that the other party was actually joking with them? !
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through An Junze's mind, but the contestant in front of him had already returned to his original position.
After coughing, Instructor An Junze returned to his previous serious expression after distributing the level cards.
"Players whose levels have changed can now move to the new classroom."
Seeing Mo Bei stand up, Zhao Xi asked in a low voice: "Brother Mo Nan, which class are you in?"
"A."
As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling in the classroom.
Jiang Mo Nan was the only player from Class C to advance to Class A. His performance was also evident to everyone. Even if he was deeply jealous, he couldn't say anything. Who was it that made him inferior to others?
Due to the high level of internal competition, no one in Class A was demoted. However, they welcomed two new members.
When Chang Jun ran into Mo Bei at the door of Class A, he was stunned for a moment and nodded to him politely as a greeting.
This child actor is not only a genius in acting, but also in singing and dancing. In just three days, he proved that he can not only act, but also control the stage.
Perhaps because he has been active in the entertainment industry and on television since he was a child, he possesses a maturity far beyond his peers. Tao Xiaotie is only a year or two older than him, but his personality is obviously more childlike.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this mature temperament that Chang Jun sometimes gives people a feeling that is both friendly and distant.
After watching the other person walk into Class A, the class, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Facing the curious gazes around him, Chang Jun pursed his lips and walked straight to the corner and sat down.
Compared to the somewhat dull atmosphere when Chang Jun appeared, Mo Bei's appearance made the atmosphere a little more lively.
"Brother Mo Nan!"
Seeing the bright yellow appear at the classroom door, Lei Lie's eyes lit up and he jumped up from the ground and trotted over.
Tao Xiaotie was too lazy to move and just waved at the person who came.
Two new classmates came. As the class monitor of Class A, Sheng Yanyu took the initiative to greet them.
Apart from his roommates Lei Lie and Tao Xiaotie, Mo Bei from Class A was most impressed by Sheng Yanyu.
It's not only because of the other party's outstanding strength, but also because he is a trainee from the entertainment company founded by his former teammate Lian Cheng.
Perhaps it was because of this relationship that he felt a natural affinity for Sheng Yanyu.
In fact, Sheng Yanyu himself has a good personality and is thoughtful, mature, and steady. He's obviously a good team leader. Maybe Zaoxing Entertainment originally wanted to train him in the direction of leader.
Although I don’t know why an excellent trainee like Sheng Yanyu failed to debut in our company, on second thought, participating in "Youth Project" can be regarded as another opportunity.
In addition to Sheng Yanyu and Lei Lie and Tao Xiaotie, who Mo Bei was familiar with, there were five other people in Class A.
Su Yi, with his elegant appearance and gentle temperament, is also nicknamed "Young Master" by others because of his perfectionism and mysophobia.
Zhou Quan is thin, has smooth black hair and is a bit shy.
Choi Jun-hee, with his single eyelids and the aura of an old-school Korean Oppa, may look and sound like a foreigner, but he is actually a Korean.
Zhong Gaoyi, with his platinum-blond hair, black earrings, and ripped jeans, may look cool, but he's actually a coward. He's terrified of ghost stories.
Zheng Xingye, who has a spiky hairdo and looks like an underground rapper, is actually a chatterbox. When he opens his mouth, he speaks with a pure Northeastern accent, giving people the feeling of being in a Spring Festival Gala skit.
Seeing Chang Jun, his eyes lit up and he sat down beside him with a warm face and started to talk -
"I've been watching your TV series since I was a kid. Your portrayal of Nezha was fantastic!"
The enthusiasm of the visitor gradually softened Chang Jun's expression, which was originally a little reserved.
"Thank you. But you might be mistaken. I haven't played Nezha, I've only played Red Boy."
Hearing this, Zheng Xingye was stunned, then slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. How could I say Red Boy is Nezha? Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Chang Jun couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't matter. Maybe it's because Red Boy and Nezha are both wearing red bellybands."
“Hahahahahaha…”
Seeing that Chang Jun didn't put on airs and wasn't as difficult to get along with as they'd imagined, the other contestants started chatting, breaking the awkward situation in Class A.
Zheng Xingye, who had been chatting with Chang Jun, immediately turned his attention to Mo Bei.
"Brother, you look so awesome!"
Hearing his exaggerated tone, Mo Bei hurriedly said, "Not really."
Zheng Xingye waved his hand. "Don't be so modest. If my phone hadn't been confiscated, I would have taken a whole photo with you. My mom would be scared to death if she saw it."
Choi Jun-hee, who was also from the Northeast, quickly agreed upon hearing this: "Of course not! If your mother saw this, she'd probably think her idol had come back to life."
Mo Bei, who had really faked his death: "..."
After a while of laughing and chatting, the staff of the program team appeared again.
After the individual assessment is over, they need to vote within Class A to select the center position of the theme song.
This step quickly produced results.
Unexpectedly, the C position is not Tao Xiaotie, the youngest and most youth-themed, nor is it the most well-known child star Chang Jun, nor is it Mo Bei, who counterattacked from C-level to A-level as a dark horse, but Sheng Yanyu, a former trainee of Zaoxing Entertainment with the strongest overall strength.
Eight years of training have made his stage performance as solid as a rock. Having such a person take the center position is something that other contestants are convinced of.
After the C position is decided, the shooting of the contestants' official photos and the recording of the program's theme song stage will begin immediately.
The contestants of "Youth Project" all wear white stand-up collar uniforms with matching trousers. In addition, each of them also wears a silver round brooch on their chest with the program's logo printed on it.
Wearing handsome new clothes, the contestants who had been tortured by the individual assessment showed a long-lost excitement.
The 100 contestants lined up and entered the photo studio one by one to take their official individual photos, and then were led by the staff into the studio to record the theme song stage.
The stage built by the program team is mainly a circular ring structure, which looks like a huge birthday cake from a distance.
Class A is located at the center and the top of the stage, with Class B one level below it, and C and D below that. Class F is located below the stage and will not be assigned any shots.
Under the arrangement of the on-site staff, the contestants took their positions and began the recording of the theme song stage.
After shooting over and over again, with the director's shout of "cut!", the recording of the theme song stage also ended.
By the time the program crew had prepared all the promotional materials, two days had passed in a flash.
At 5 pm on Monday, the official website and official Weibo of "Youth Plan" released the official photos of 100 contestants and the stage performance of the theme song "Dream Chasing Youth" at one time.
After that, the show's official Weibo account and super topic saw a surge in followers and likes. Fans, eagerly anticipating the show for over six months, finally welcomed another exciting summer.
Ten minutes after the contestants' official photos and theme song stages were released, these contents were uploaded to various online platforms by major marketing bloggers.
The program crew has been preheating for more than half a year, and the four mentors have their own fan traffic, so even if many passers-by don’t follow the talent show, they will click in to try it out for the mentors’ sake.
In addition, Pineapple Video bought a wave of high-profile trending searches to promote the theme song stage, which led to a steady increase in likes and views. In just half an hour, it reached nearly 10,000 views.
Those fans who, like Wang Baochuan, had endured the cold kiln for more than half a year were even more delighted.
I will wash my hair upside down if I follow the talent show again: I have waited for so long, this show is finally going to be broadcast (crying with joy)
No landing, no name change:!!! Holy crap! The theme song is out already?
My heart is made of durian: Ahhhhh little Tietie, mommy loves you!
It's Feifei, not Baboon: There are so many good-looking contestants on this show! In just a few seconds of footage, I've already seen a lot of handsome guys~ (heart eyes)
Daju: (Screenshot.jpg) This is so handsome! I want to know all his information within three minutes!
Under the screenshot, netizens with the same perspective commented:
Balala Little Devil: +1! It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a handsome mixed-race guy with such distinctive facial features!
Chestnut Cake: Judging from the information in the official photo, his name seems to be Lei Lie.
On other floors, netizens’ comments were also very interesting.
Loves pineapples: "The one that appears at the 72nd second! Who knows!"
Chocolate Cone: "I understand! I've never seen such a handsome man since I was a child! He looks exactly like me!"
Love eating pineapple: I looked at the name, it seems to be Baili. This face dog decided to pick him!
Buddhist star chasing: What is the name of the C position? The strength looks so strong!
Chengfeng Feiyu: The C position is Sheng Yanyu! A former trainee at Zaoxing Entertainment, he has 8 years of training experience and is incredibly talented! He's a mature, steady, and gentle young man! A great investment!
Little Strawberry Hika: Didn’t anyone notice that the little brother who appeared at the 66th second looked a lot like Mo Bei?
iPanda: I think so too! I felt that way when I saw the official photos, but I didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Egg Burger: Is his name Jiang Monan? He really looks exactly like Mo Bei.
As soon as such remarks came out, they immediately attracted criticism from some people.
If you keep talking, I’ll knock your head off: (rolling eyes) How is it similar? Don’t try to trick people into believing you’re a nobody.
My mother tongue is speechless: Exactly! Now anyone can come and get free rides. Mo Bei died young, but that doesn't mean all his fans are dead.
Although the netizen who posted this comment encountered a rude response from a netizen who claimed to be a fan of Mo Bei, many passers-by also stood up and said -
I'm right: They look alike! When the show released the contestant audition photos, many people already thought they looked alike. Now, after seeing the performances and official photos, the resemblance is even stronger.
Professional draft midwife: I ordered it. Jiang Monan and Mo Bei are like they were carved from the same mold!
Big Devil: Not only his face, his figure and expression management are also very similar to Mo Bei!
Gudonggudong: I just showed my sister the theme song performance video. She was a die-hard fan of Mo Bei back then, the kind who used to be a fan on his fan page. Can I just say that she almost cried after watching it?
Seeing so many people stand up to speak for a small-time talent show star, those netizens who claimed to be Mo Bei's fans immediately became angry.
If you keep pushing me, I'll knock your head off: What does this mean? It only means that he is deliberately imitating Mo Bei!
My mother tongue is speechless: As we all know, Dolly the cloned sheep only lived for six years. No matter how hard this person tries to imitate Mo Bei, he will never be able to become Mo Bei, and he may even suffer backlash!
I am right when I argue with you: the above person should be more polite! Why do people imitate people who are born with this face? Why does it backfire?
My mother tongue is speechless: @杠是我我是我你是his parents? How do you know that he was born with this face?
If you keep talking, I’ll knock your head off: Exactly! Maybe it’s plastic surgery.
momo: Even if his face is natural, there are so many people who look like him. But there's a saying that goes "a hair's breadth away can lead to a thousand miles of difference." No matter how much he resembles Mo Bei, he's just a low-profile version of him.
What's wrong with you?: The above person is right. It's just a low-end version, but people are so excited about it. People nowadays really haven't had any good food. (picking nose)
You deserve it: If you imitate Mo Bei again, I hope he will never make his debut!
For a while, the comment section of the video, which was originally just about the appearance, was suddenly filled with all kinds of violent messages.
No one knows whether the person on the other side is a human or a ghost. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that those who claim to be Mo Bei fans in the comment section are not necessarily his fans, nor do they really love him that much.
After all, Mo Bei has been dead for 20 years. No matter how famous he was in life, he has long since faded from the spotlight. Whether it's love or hate, time can dilute everything, and the same is true for fan circles.
Perhaps they are so agitated because they simply have a refusal-type personality that doesn't tolerate dissenting opinions. Or perhaps they are simply unhappy in real life and are looking for an opportunity to vent online.
Unfortunately, discerning people are still a minority, and most people just follow the crowd. Especially in the lawless world of the Internet, a group of people will take the bait at the slightest hint.
Although these unfriendly remarks caused a chaotic atmosphere in the comment section of the related topic, they also served as a reverse marketing tool, causing some passersby to click on the theme song video out of curiosity.
They wanted to see how much this person resembled Mo Bei.
You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
This is so similar!
Some people even compared the screenshots of Jiang Monan in the video with Mo Bei's stage photos from that year. The two looked exactly the same!
With the surge in the number of views of the theme song video, the number of fans of Jiang Mo Nan’s personal super topic also increased, reaching 100,000 fans in less than a day.
At the same time, in the voting pool that had just been opened on the program's official website, Jiang Mo'nan's name jumped into the top three. Not only did he leave behind popular contestants such as Lei Lie and Bai Li, he even had a tendency to overtake the C position Sheng Yanyu.
This ability to attract fans is truly terrifying, considering that the show hasn't aired yet and there is no material other than the theme song stage and official photos.
The battles within fandoms are brutal. A harmonious atmosphere of everyone being happy only exists when no one's own interests are threatened. Once you discover that your best friends might become your enemies, it's a fight to the death.

But unlike those parents, she has not yet stopped being a fan and will not blame all this on Sheng Yanyu himself, but chooses to directly attack the opponent.
After all, only when the competitors fall, her idol will have the opportunity to become the final C of the show.
However, when she privately investigated Jiang Mo Nan and tried to dig out some negative information about him, she unexpectedly discovered that she could not find anything.
Not to mention identity documents, even basic personal information such as school and family background cannot be found.
What's even more strange is that when friends and family of other contestants appeared online to canvass for votes for them, there was no movement at all on Jiang Mo Nan's side.
