Chapter 78 Everyone has a few dirty thoughts.
Xie Ruonan felt extremely wronged.
I was making music until the early hours of the morning last night, and just as I was getting ready to go to sleep, I received a message from Shen Mo.
Ask her to help me cover the song "Towards the Clouds".
After hearing it only once, she cursed Shen Mo from head to toe.
"Why should I?!"
"I work hard to make music, and he just plays around and can write songs like this."
"Am I really not suited to make music?"
"Ah! I don't want to! I don't want to go back and inherit the family's hotels!"
"The main problem is that Shen Mo is such a jerk. He dances so well, sings so well, and is so talented. Why doesn't he just die?!"
Suddenly, all sleepiness vanished.
Despite the criticism, she didn't stop and immediately got to work.
The female voice in the song is instantly recognizable as Huang Qishan's.
In response, she stopped and berated Shen Mo for another ten minutes.
That bastard's luck is outrageous, it's utterly depraved.
The practice and preparation took more than an hour, and the video recording took another hour. By the time I finished, it was almost 5 a.m.
I'm exhausted!
I woke up groggily, only to be shaken awake by my best friend.
"You're hot! Get up now!"
I'm angry!
Xie Ruonan instantly perked up, her eyes lighting up.
I excitedly opened Douyin (TikTok), but after looking at the comments section, I instantly became furious.
She glared at her best friend with a menacing look.
"You call this fire..."
As the first cover video on the entire internet, it was released in the early morning and had already exceeded 200,000 views in just one morning.
At first, it was all likes.
In just half a day.
It received over 3 likes, 1.4 shares, and an astonishing 1.6 comments.
The most amazing thing is her version of "Towards the Clouds," which has been used in the original soundtrack more than nine thousand times.
It's only been half a day.
After browsing through them, I found that most of the people using her original voice were travel bloggers.
Compared to Shen Mo's version, her version has a sweeter voice, and it's a perfect match for those sweet-looking bloggers.
However, this overwhelmingly positive reception began to reverse dramatically after 11 o'clock.
A flood of negative comments poured into her comment section.
"What rubbish! You'd fawn over such stinky feet? Get out!"
"This is the one who sang 'MENTE MA' before. No wonder they're promoting Shen Mo's trashy songs. Shen Mo made her trashy song popular before."
"Both of them sing trashy songs, one after the other, it's disgusting!"
"A singing and dancing streamer can sing casually and leave serious musicians with no job. This world has finally gone mad in ways we can't understand."
"What's there to not understand! This world has always been like this: capable people work hard without complaint, but end up starving. Meanwhile, those who speculate and profiteer thrive."
"It can only be said that Shen Mo is too good at attracting attention. He does whatever is popular. People who really study music are completely dominated by trash like him."
"We found out. Shen Mo is just an ordinary college graduate who never even touched music. He works as a streamer at an entertainment company, and he was completely uncoordinated when he first started dancing. It's hilarious!"
"You and Shen Mo are birds of a feather, get out of Douyin together."
The words were vicious, eventually shifting from silence to personal attacks on her, even escalating to attacks on her work, "MENTE MA".
Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!
Her best friend realized something was wrong and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Black and red are still red!"
"I'm just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire! That damned Shen Mo, you owe me!"
After saying that, he took out his phone, sent a message, and confronted Shen Mo, demanding an explanation.
After a long while, she calmed down and realized that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate.
Since Shen Mo hadn't done anything wrong, we asked her to help cover the song.
Because of "MENTE MA", I currently have over 100,000 followers on Douyin. Given our friendship, it's perfectly normal for him to ask me for help.
If I complain to him after being scolded, will he think I'm too fragile?
They're not the kind of friends you can rely on to get through tough times!
Thinking about it, she hesitated, wondering whether she should make a phone call and explain to the other party.
But calling him like this makes me seem conflicted!
Ah!
What should I do?!
Time passed little by little.
Just as she made up her mind and was about to make a call, her best friend suddenly stopped her.
"No...that..."
"Shen Mo posted a video!"
"Oh! Why are you posting a video now?"
Xie Ruonan was stunned.
Given the current situation, the best public relations strategy for Shen Mo, an entertainment anchor with over 400,000 followers, would be to remain silent and have his company coordinate with all parties involved to eventually let the matter drop.
Although Shen Mo suffered some grievances, it seems that playing the victim during the live stream might surprisingly attract more gifts.
She then clicked on the video.
The video begins in complete darkness.
A female voice with a Northeastern accent rang out, accompanied by the huge white characters.
"Brother Mo, why are there so many people spreading rumors online these days? Can't we do something about them?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Mo appeared, facing the camera, his voice becoming rough as if he were chatting with a friend.
"Let me tell you about my little sister!"
"There's no point in getting angry with a dog!"
As the interlude begins, electronic synthesized sounds slowly transition in.
"There are too many rumor-mongers on this internet. They get itchy when they see others become famous. They spread rumors everywhere, saying how pitiful they are, and fabricate all sorts of false stories in an attempt to change the facts..."
"Remember, your mouth isn't the law of China. The rumors you fabricate are just like farts to everyone. You pollute the air even though you don't hear them. We don't want to deal with you. Getting angry with a dog is pointless..."
"And then there are these boring idiots who always treat lies as truth. They don't use their brains and always believe whatever they hear. I'm furious right now. These dogs, stay away from me..."
"Get out of my sight, go back to your cage..."
……
Holy crap!
"Image! Mind your image! You're a big star!"
Her best friend was also stunned, but still reminded Xie Ruonan.
"no……"
"He's so reckless! He's just going for it head-on!"
"The other party is Liang Dong, Xuan Dong, and..."
She couldn't recall all those names at once, but she knew they were either established bands in the music industry or signed artists with record labels.
He couldn't understand how Shen Mo, who usually displayed high emotional intelligence in chats and live streams, could be so reckless and directly confront him.
"Could it be...?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see!"
"It's a publicity stunt! It must be a publicity stunt!"
"That bastard Shen Mo is deliberately colluding with those musicians to hype up his songs."
"I saw in the comments section that it's called 'Hurricane Project,' which is a major project for Hongyun Music. The requirements are quite high. This guy is up to his old tricks again."
Xie Ruonan looked smug, with a sense of satisfaction at having seen through Shen Mo's clumsy tactics.
In fact, she wasn't entirely wrong.
In fact, Xuan Dong's behavior in the live broadcast room was indeed intended to incite a war of words and promote the song.
"A Few Pieces of Silver" has been online for some time, and its exposure on Douyin has reached a bottleneck. Without a new breakthrough, he can only stop here.
Getting into "Operation Hurricane" is just a pipe dream.
Faced with this dilemma, his first thought was to engage in online arguments to gain traffic, but he didn't dare to criticize the previous people, and there wasn't much to talk about.
Just then, "Towards the Clouds" appeared.
Like a savior, they bumped into him.
Without further hesitation, he immediately started criticizing.
Nobody's a fool. His extreme maneuver instantly caught the attention of Liang Dong of Secondhand Rose. When it comes to hype and creating buzz, Liang Dong is a veteran.
After watching the live stream clip, he shook his head repeatedly and scoffed with a disdainful laugh.
"Not exciting enough!"
They immediately went all out, bringing "Summer in Ice City" directly into the fray.
Subsequently, a chain reaction ensued, with Accusefive, Jiang Yunsheng, and others joining in one after another.
Since we're going to play, it's more fun if we all play together!
It's a pity for Shen Mo, the dance streamer, but he deserves it. Why didn't he focus on being a streamer and instead came to mess around in the music industry?
If he doesn't die, who will?!
