Chapter 63 Everyone has their own path in the future
After the performance, the fangirl "need" returned home and exported the photos immediately.
Looking at the boy in the picture who was looking up and smiling, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up -
After a little photo editing, she uploaded it to Jiang Mo Nan's personal super chat along with several other photos taken that night, added a watermark, and uploaded them together.
[needV: Thank you for meeting you this summer. Happy debut to Jiang Mo Nan, happy debut to Originore!]
As soon as the photo was posted, the number of comments below quickly reached 99+.
[Congratulations to Nan Nan for her C-position debut!]
[As expected of Sister N, this picture is so well taken!]
[This composition, this angle, and this sense of light are absolutely amazing!]
[What’s even more amazing is that we captured the famous scene of Nan Nan smiling! This is killing me!]
[It’s all worth it to see your baby’s smile!]
Fans all know that Jiang Mo Nan hardly smiles, so being able to capture his smile is even luckier than winning the lottery!
Looking at the positive feedback in the comment section, Sister N showed a happy smile on her face.
Unlike the peaceful and tranquil comments section of the fan club, the program team's super topic and the newly established Originore group's super topic are full of tension.
Although most fans were celebrating the formation of their own group at this time, there were always some troublemakers who were complaining about the injustice.
Some of them think that there must be some shady dealings behind a certain contestant’s debut, while others think that only their own company can get the C position, otherwise it must be a setup by royal capital.
However, there are still only a few people who completely disregard the facts and like to make unreasonable demands. Most passers-by who watch the show don't care about any shady dealings or rankings.
Anyway, they have no plans to follow up and form a group, so the things that fans argue about are meaningless to them.
The so-called show fans are such creatures.
Just like a midwife, after delivering one baby, their mission is complete. They will look for new talent shows to "deliver" new groups to debut.
On the other hand, the production team was undeterred by the curses of individual fans. Thanks to the platform's operation, terms such as "Jiang Mo Nan debuts as center" and "Originore forms a group" quickly became the top three trending searches.
Even passersby who have absolutely no interest in talent shows can't help but click in to see the excitement after seeing the top trending searches. And fans of various groups in the comment section are vying for the front row to control the comments.
Even if passers-by don't know these contestants at all, they still enjoy it.
Although some people are annoyed by these robot-like comments and choose to skip them automatically, there are still many people who are attracted by the beautiful pictures under the comments.
This is a good start. After all, interest is the beginning of the pit.
When some passers-by actively ask for recommendations, fans will go all out to send out information, beautiful pictures and video links.
While fans of various idols were busy promoting their own idols while the popularity was high, Sheng Yanyu's fans felt extremely depressed.
Since the first round of rankings, Sheng Yanyu has been ranked second, and this ranking has remained unchanged until the final formation of the group.
They both voted so hard, but the gap between them still widened.
How can anyone accept this?
This is why so many Sheng fans blame their failures on external factors like "capital manipulation" and "royal support." Asking them to admit their own inadequacy is a shame.
Even from the beginning to the end, their family had never defeated Jiang Mo Nan's family.
These people are those whose ambitions are as high as the sky but whose lives are as fragile as paper.
I thought that since I got the C position for the theme song, I could keep it. After all, in the past, many boy group talent shows have the same C position from the beginning to the end.
But this rule is completely useless when it comes to Sheng Yanyu.
Even though their own team had the most screen time in the theme song, they still couldn't beat Jiang Mo Nan.
This is definitely a huge blow to those fans who originally had great ambitions.
They were well aware of the vote gap between Sheng Yanyu and Jiang Mo Nan. However, because the votes between the two had once been incredibly close, and then the other party had completely lost, and the gap had even widened, they felt extremely unwilling to accept it.
It's like a classmate who originally had similar or even worse grades than you, but one day his grades improved and he became the first in the class, and then he became the first in the grade. Faced with such a gap, instead of being envious, you would definitely feel unwilling and even suspect that he cheated.
Even if the other person gets first place in the school, a ranking that cannot be achieved by cheating, you cannot acknowledge the other person's strength and the fact that you are not as good as the other person.
But people will eventually grow up.
The narrow vision of the past will eventually change as you grow older.
Things that I once found unacceptable and like the sky was falling, I can now laugh them off many years later.
The rankings they care about and compare now will not be a big deal at all when they look back on them a few years from now.
Although winning first place in talent shows in the past could indeed brighten a contestant's future career, after so many years, ranking is no longer the standard for measuring popularity.
After all, most talent shows end up being a mess after they disband. Although some members have done well as singers or actors, they are only good enough.
After all, there are only a few people who can become famous and stay at the top.
For Sheng Yanyu, ranking is not the most important thing. What is important is whether he has the capital to remain popular.
Of course, for the fan circle, which is still in its young stage, such questions are still too profound.
Just as they were feeling dissatisfied and angry about the outcome of the night, their "rivals" were busy celebrating everywhere.
In addition to posting promotional blogs on various online platforms, fans also placed support ads in major cities across the country to celebrate Jiang Monan's center-position debut. In Yuehai City, some fans even organized a drone light show.
In addition, to celebrate Jiang Mo Nan's debut, some big fans held an online lottery event with no limit on the number of circles. Anyone who has never criticized Jiang Mo Nan can participate. The prizes include the latest Apple mobile phones and laptops, as well as a new energy vehicle.
Only fans with strong financial resources can afford such support methods.
Many of Jiang Mo Nan's fans are wealthy women who are not short of money. They are often the most generous when it comes to fundraising. This also makes other fans feel extremely envious.
If fans only need to spend money on voting and offline support before the group is formed, then after their debut, they will need to spend money on buying albums, attending autograph sessions, concerts, birthday parties, as well as annual birthday support.
The larger the economic scale of the fan circle, the more it can support this series of areas that require spending money.
Although the players have become teammates, the competition between fan groups will not stop. From now on, the support provided by fans of different groups will be compared within the fan group.
Those who spent money and those who didn’t spend much can be told at a glance, not only by the fans themselves but also by passersby.
Just like the support that Jiang Mo Nan’s family is currently doing, it is enough to prove the strength of their fan circle.
In the dark night sky, countless dots made up of drones flashed neon lights, constantly combining and changing into Jiang Mo Nan's avatar, name, and words such as "Happy C-position Debut".
Fans watching the performance took out their phones to take photos, feeling the joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere. Pedestrians on the road couldn't help but stop and watch the beautiful light show.
At the same time, Jiang Mo Nan’s fan bar and support club also released videos of the light show.
The words flashing in the night sky coupled with the background music of the lyrical version of the theme song in the video are even more touching.
In fact, the fan club for this drone light show had already started preparing a month ago, but it had never been disclosed to the public.
Now that such a big fuss has been made out of nowhere, not to mention the fans of other teammates, even the fans of Sheng Yanyu, who claim to be a rival, can't help but feel envious.
Compared with the current scene, the support provided by Jiang’s fans during the game was obviously restrained.
But this is exactly what Jiang's fans wanted. They had already been keeping a low profile before the competition ended to avoid negative comments. Now that Jiang Mo Nan has secured the center position, continuing to keep a low profile would only give opponents the impression that they were "guilty because of an unfair position."
What's more, they also want to show off and make those haters die of rage!
On the other hand, some clever fans also took advantage of this wave of popularity to post clips of Jiang Mo'nan's past stage performances online. The close-up beauty filter and addictive music made the clips a little popular on short video apps.
In short, thanks to the efforts of fans, on the day of the group's debut, Jiang Mo Nan's name appeared in all corners of social media. Even to passers-by who don't follow the star, he looked familiar.
While the fans were busy celebrating and promoting their performance, the contestants on the other side also left the performance venue.
To celebrate the successful conclusion of the competition, the program team arranged a celebration banquet and invited all the contestants as well as the mentors and staff of the program team to have dinner together.
Before going to the restaurant, Mo Bei met Lu Yu's family.
Seeing Lu Yu and his father after several months, Mo Bei couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, in order to get Lu Yu to take him to the audition, he lied to Lu Yu and claimed to be his father's friend. Now that his lie was exposed, he felt a little lost.
"……sorry."
Lu Yu was stunned by Mo Bei's sudden apology, then mistakenly thought he was talking about not being able to contact him by phone. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The director told me that you can't use your phone or access the internet in the park. I won't blame you."
Unlike his youngest son, Lu Shiqiang on the side realized something and his expression showed a hint of understanding.
Jiang Mo Nan naturally knew that his youngest son claimed to be his friend, but he did not deny it.
In his opinion, although they were not familiar with each other, he and Jiang Mo Nan could be considered as friends who had just met by chance. After all, he had even given the other party his contact information.
What's more, Jiang Mo Nan said this just to ask Lu Yu to help lead the way.
As for staying at his house, it wasn't a big deal. I just had a few meals and slept in the guest room for a few nights.
In comparison, he was more pleased with the transformation of his youngest son.
It seemed that after meeting Jiang Mo Nan, Lu Yu, who had been obsessed with becoming a singer, suddenly changed. Not only did he dye his unsightly red hair back, he even returned to school to study hard for the college entrance exam, and he also became much more mature.
From this perspective, the intersection between their family and Jiang Mo Nan may also be a good fate.
Because the production team was pressing him, Mo Bei didn't want to spend too much time reminiscing with Lu Yu's family. He only promised Lu Yu that he would contact him once he got a cell phone. Then he left with the main group.
When Mo Bei returned to the car, Director Zhuo Yanbin handed him a cell phone. "This is for you, President Lian."
Lian Cheng had already anticipated that he would need his cell phone after the competition, so he sent it to the production team in advance.
Mo Bei felt warm at the words, and then nodded to thank the director.
Mobile phones 20 years later were much more advanced than the ones he used during his lifetime. It took Mo Bei a while to learn how to use them flexibly.
When I opened WeChat, I saw only one avatar in the empty friend list.
That was the photo of Lian Cheng’s daughter Coco.
Afraid that Mo Bei would get confused if he added too many people in the future, he even thoughtfully made a note for himself in his WeChat account -
Mo Bei's best friend, Lian Cheng.
Mo Bei himself saw this note: "..."
He was wrong. Even after 20 years, Lian Cheng still hadn't matured at all.
Mo Bei was complaining inwardly when he saw the avatar in front of him suddenly vibrate. Then a new message popped up -
[Congratulations on your debut as the center. Although I already knew you would take first place.]
Seeing the message from Lian Cheng, Mo Bei smiled and replied -
[Thanks. ]
Just as I was about to exit WeChat, a new friend request suddenly popped up.
When I clicked on the profile picture, it was a landscape photo. The username was also a simple letter X.
Seeing that the note below was Xu Hexuan, Mo Bei quickly accepted the friend request.
Not long after passing through, a message came from the other side——
[Congratulations. ]
Mo Bei had just replied with a thank you when Xu Hexuan sent him another screenshot. Clicking on it, he saw it was a screenshot of his performance at the group's inaugural night.
[I watched the live broadcast, you performed very well.]
Seeing this, Mo Bei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
After so many years, Xu Hexuan still kills the topic as easily as before.
Unable to figure out how to respond, Mo Bei finally sent a smiley face emoticon and ignored him.
On the other side, Xu Hexuan, who had received Mo Bei's reply, sat on a small stool on the set and stared at the emoticon package in front of him with a serious face for a long time.
Is Jiang Mo Nan angry?
But he didn't think he'd said anything bad.
Noticing Xu Hexuan's constipated expression, Shao Qiying leaned over to take a look, then jokingly said, "Brother, I think you should read a book called 'The Art of Chatting.'"
"What's the meaning?"
Shao Qiying looked helpless. "You've already congratulated the other person, and they said thank you. Now you're praising their performance on stage. How should they respond? Say thank you again? You'll look like a bot."
"I don't know how to respond, so I can only send a smiley face emoticon."
After hearing Shao Qiying's analysis, Xu Hexuan suddenly understood.
"I see!"
While Actor Xu was working hard to improve his conversation skills, the contestants who had arrived at the dinner venue also started eating and drinking.
During the meal, the contestants added each other on WeChat.
Lei Lie's profile picture is a wolf, and his WeChat name is simple: just the character "烈." His Moments background is photos of NBA stars, and his past Moments have mostly been about sports and fitness.
Tao Xiaotie's ID is even more daring, directly called "Little Taotie". His profile picture is a food picture, and his background is also related to food. His signature is "Eat all the delicacies in the world."
Bai Li's profile picture is a selfie of himself, with a snow-white fox as his background. His past Moments were also filled with selfies, revealing a strong sense of narcissism.
Sheng Yanyu's Moments were simple. Just a solid-color background with a feather pattern, and his WeChat name was an abbreviation of his real name. He rarely posted to Moments, and when he clicked on it, it wasn't visible for half a year, and it was completely blank.
Xu Tingchuan's WeChat account exudes a dark, non-mainstream vibe that was popular among middle school students decades ago. Not only is his profile picture a pitch-black Gothic style, but his background image is also a picture of a niche rock band. As for his signature, it reads:
"Far from dying, Rock and Roll is flying high"
The content in the Moments is also all kinds of cool-looking stuff, such as rock climbing, motorcycles, rock music and the like.
Although Choi Jun-hee’s circle of friends is not as extreme as the above-mentioned people, it also reveals a hint of weirdness.
In the ordinary daily sharing, there are always screenshots of various melodramatic short dramas and the review of the plot interspersed from time to time.
In comparison, the friend circles of Yi Chuheng, Zheng Xingye and Zhong Gaoyi seem much more normal, basically sharing their ordinary daily lives.
The dinner lasted until nearly 10 o'clock. Those contestants who did not form a group and came from other places took taxis to leave together. As for the contestants who formed a group, they could choose to stay in the hotel arranged by the production team or leave with their families.
Today is the night for the group formation. Even though many contestants’ hometowns are in other places, their families have come to the scene to support them.
Lei Lie is one of them.
After saying goodbye to his brothers, he quickly ran towards his parents, siblings and others who had come to greet him.
Of course, before leaving, everyone took a group photo.
This is the first and last real group photo. After all, the show has ended, and everyone will go their separate ways. I don’t know if we will have the chance to meet again.
Although it is a bit sad, this is an established fact.
Just like fish returning to the sea and birds returning to the forest.
Everyone has his or her own path to take in the future.
