67: Chapter 67 Acceptance Speech

...

Ruan Xingyu glanced at the slip of paper, and without hesitation, read it out directly.

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Mo. First, I would like to thank Teacher Ruan Xingyu. She is an exceptionally talented Singer, and I thank her for performing this song so well."

Ruan Xingyu couldn't help but laugh. She looked up at the audience and read the next and final sentence of this short acceptance speech—

"Additionally, I know I can write songs, and I will write many more good songs in the future, so I fully acknowledge the Huayun Voice judges' acknowledgment of me. Thank you."

The words "Thank you" were actually added by Ruan Xingyu.

This acceptance speech was like a giant boulder falling from the sky, suddenly crashing into a lake as calm as stagnant water.

Boom!

The acceptance speech of the diva from the previous life still had a great effect in this life, instantly igniting the entire venue and the barrage comments.

Lin Chuyan believed it would soon ignite the entire internet as well.

He had already thought it through. Since Lin Mo's popularity would be calculated into his dynamic traffic value, why not do this? What reason was there not to take this opportunity to boost his dynamic traffic value even higher?

"I, Lin Mo, am just arrogant. Not convinced?"

"If you're not convinced, suck it up; you can't find me anyway..."

The entire venue was silent as a mouse, followed by the most enthusiastic round of applause in history!

Wawa sat in the audience, clapping until his palms were almost raw.

Damn it, this Lin Mo was just his type. If his sexual orientation weren't normal, he would seriously want to sword fight with him!

No, he decided he had to beg Lin Chuyan or Ruan Xingyu again to see if he could add Lin Mo as a friend.

The others at the scene loved watching the chaos unfold. Although Huayun Voice couldn't compare to the three major awards, it was still a respectable event. Regarding Lin Mo's acceptance speech, should they welcome it, or feel like they'd been slapped in the face?

It was hard to say, really hard to say.

Never mind the Huayun Voice awards ceremony; even in the history of the three major awards, nothing like this had ever happened.

Those who were on good terms with the organizers would play nice, thanking this person and that person. Some would even exceed their time limit and be reminded by the host to watch the clock, while others would start crying the moment they got on stage...

Those who weren't on good terms would just throw a tantrum and not show up, which was normal, or they would make snide, sarcastic remarks when interviewed.

But someone like Lin Mo? They had never seen it before. He just thanked Ruan Xingyu and then expressed his acknowledgment of the judges' work?

Holy crap, who the hell are you, kid? Come out and fight me one-on-one!

Oh, sorry, as a registered user of Aiyue.com, unless the officials didn't want to protect the creator's privacy, no one could find him...

It was really frustrating to have nowhere to vent.

Also, think about this sentence, really think about it.

What does "fully acknowledge the Huayun Voice judges' acknowledgment of me" mean?

Is he praising himself or the organizers?

Hard to say, really hard to say.

People like Wawa might have their CPUs burning up trying to process it.

After the enthusiastic applause came the murmurs from the audience; there were so many artists whispering to each other under the live broadcast cameras.

If not for the fear of bad publicity, this group of Singers would have really wanted to pull out their phones and share this unprecedented gossip...

The host didn't know what to say either, so they could only continue with the procedure as if nothing had happened, per the organizers' requirements.

Ruan Xingyu walked off the stage with a calm expression, but inside, she was already cheering for her boyfriend.

[Is this my boyfriend? He's just too cool!]

The number of deer bumping around in Ruan Xingyu's heart was enough to hold a meeting.

Meanwhile, the barrage comments were already in a state of frenzy.

"Did I hear that acceptance speech right? Am I hallucinating? Someone explain."

"Upstairs, you heard right. Although it's a bit convoluted, that's exactly what it means."

"Who does this kid think he is? Didn't he just write one song, 'Similar to Love'? Is he really that arrogant?"

"I think so too. If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Xingyu was the one singing it, who would even know him?"

"Besides, is this award really for him? Are you sure it's not just for Ruan Xingyu's sake?"

"Getting a Huayun Voice award and Acting so full of himself, I'm speechless, hahaha. If this were the three major awards, wouldn't Lin Mo just fly straight to the sky?"

However, there were surprisingly quite a few supporters.

"Some people have been kneeling for so long they can't stand up, right? This circle should just be all sunshine and rainbows? Don't you find that boring?"

"What's wrong with being a bit arrogant? I like talented people who are arrogant. Are you Acting like a good boy all day just to show your mom?"

"Alright, alright, cleaning up the entertainment industry, are we? From now on, I'm a fan of Lin Mo!"

"'Similar to Love'? What's wrong with it? One song and he's a legend! To those who don't know how to appreciate its lyrics, I can only say you don't understand love at all."

"Who says Lin Mo only has one song, 'Similar to Love'? Go search on Aiyue.com yourself before you start barking!"

Then both sides started arguing...

"Upstairs, you have the nerve to mention other songs on Aiyue.com? Don't you know these songs were all given to Lin Chuyan to sing? It's Lin Chuyan, I'm dying of laughter."

...

Damn, why did they end up talking about him?

Lin Chuyan felt very innocent.

He exited the live stream and took a look at Weibo, discovering that he was on the hot search list three times—

#Lin Mo#

#Huayun Voice Acceptance Speech#

#I Acknowledge the Judges' Acknowledgment of Me#

Looking at the momentum, it would probably surpass #Ruan Xingyu Red Carpet Look#.

He exited again and logged into Lin Mo's Weibo alt account. Awesome, the follower count had reached 1.5 million.

His main account had finally surpassed the alt account, only to be overtaken again.

It was just that as a behind-the-scenes songwriter, he usually didn't have many fans interacting with him, so this massive amount of traffic was truly a bit of a waste.

Was there any way to drive traffic to his main account...

Lin Chuyan racked his brain.

After thinking about it, he found a comment on Weibo criticizing him for being arrogant and saying he had no other works besides 'Similar to Love', and directly retweeted it:

"Since you hate me so much, could you also take a moment to scold @Lin Chuyan? He's releasing a brand new EP 'rebirth' in a few days, and I did the lyrics, composition, and arrangement."

Lin Chuyan thoughtfully tagged himself using Lin Mo's alt account, making it convenient for people following Lin Mo to go to his Weibo and scold him again.

Traffic had to be eaten from both ends, consumed completely—that was the only way to do justice to the Haters' hard Acting.

Operation complete, Lin Chuyan went back to watching the live stream, but what he didn't expect was that 'Similar to Love' won another award...

Most Popular Song Award.

It was well-deserved; this song was undeniably exploding in popularity online.

What was interesting was that Ruan Xingyu's acceptance speech focused on thanking Lin Mo, and she even called Lin Mo a "humble, kind, witty, humorous, extremely talented, and very charming" person.

If not for Lin Mo's acceptance speech earlier, this statement wouldn't have been anything special.

But listening to Ruan Xingyu's speech now, everyone couldn't help but savor it...

"Humble and kind," "witty and humorous," "extremely talented."

Talent might be accurate, but if you're talking about being humble and kind... that was really up for debate. He was clearly showing his sharp edges, right?

And humor? Only trolls would probably find it humorous. The Huayun Voice judges probably wanted to kill him.

"Very charming."

Hiss... outsiders couldn't really judge that.

Everyone didn't think too much about it and just skipped past it.

Only Lin Chuyan listened with secret delight; how could outsiders possibly know the thrill of this kind of play~
