Chapter 143 Reactions from All Sides!
The vice president's secretary rushed into the office, her voice trembling.
Tang Lou sat in his office chair, watching the slightly reserved boy holding the trophy on the screen with a knowing smile.
Everything is under control. What a rich world this seemingly ordinary male nurse carries in his heart! Mao Buyi is a true genius creator.
If it weren't for his past life experiences, Tang Lou would never have imagined that a young man like Mao Buyi could create such a legend.
Every original song can bring people emotion and surprise. Cat's victory was unexpected, but it truly won everyone over.
He is also one of the few who, on a talent show, won over all the viewers with his top-notch creative abilities and rare empathy.
The next day, the industry media headlines were all about:
"Coolcat Video Makes the Right Bets, Cat Not Easy Becomes the Biggest Dark Horse of the Year"
The Downstairs: The Man Who Signed the Champion Early
From Male Nurse to Talent Show Champion: The Talent Scout's Eye Behind Mao Buyi
Within the company, the initial misunderstanding and skepticism have all turned into praise: "President Tang is amazing! How did he know that Mao Buyi would become so popular?"
"I heard that a talent agency in the industry contacted Mao Buyi on the night he won the championship, trying to poach him with a three-fold offer, but Mao Buyi refused out of gratitude to President Tang for recognizing his talent."
"CatBuyi's business valuation has now exceeded 2 million! President Tang's signing was simply a textbook example of investment!"
The director of the talent agency at Tanglou's entertainment company personally came to express his gratitude: "President Tang, I was short-sighted back then. I admire your vision."
"Even if I had to choose ten more times from this group of contestants on 'The Coming One,' I still wouldn't have thought to sign Mao Buyi. Mr. Tang, you are truly amazing!"
Tang Lou waved his hand dismissively: "It's not that I have good taste, it's that I'm willing to give ordinary people a chance. This era doesn't lack perfect idols, it lacks real people."
"And Mao Buyi is such a person, full of inner energy, who can touch the hearts of the masses."
After the success of "The Coming One" and Mao Buyi's rise to the top, not only internally, but also externally, all the competitors were on the verge of collapse.
At the headquarters of Tencent Video, the head of the variety show department stared at the data report of the "The Coming One" finale in silence for a long time.
The data experts and industry authorities on my team have analyzed so much data and conducted so many surveys that they have concluded that talent shows have passed their golden age and have no expectations for the new generation of artists.
This kind of talent show is clearly just rehashing old material and has no chance of becoming a huge hit, but Tanglou made it a success.
Looking at the report in my hand:
The live broadcast of the finale of "The Coming One" attracted 1.8 million viewers, occupied six of the top ten trending topics on Weibo, and the topic of Mao Buyi winning the championship garnered 8.2 million views. The total number of views for the show exceeded 60 billion. These figures are absolutely phenomenal and represent another peak for talent shows!
"We missed out." The head of Tencent Video's variety show department sighed deeply. "We didn't miss a show, we missed a possibility. Tanglou proved that you can create a hit show without hype or traffic, just with pure content."
The deputy director, also with his head down, whispered, "I heard that Mao Buyi's management contract is held by Tanglou's own entertainment company. He's the only one signed by Tanglou among all the guests on the show. He's a genius poached right under the nose of Long Danni, the godmother of Wajijiwa's talent shows. This one artist alone could bring Tanglou billions in value over the next few years—"
"Their program production is so impressive, and even their signed artists have a keen sense of opportunity. Tanglou is truly a monster."
The deputy director was truly impressed.
"Shut up." The director of Tencent Video's variety show department looked grim. "What's the point of saying all this now? Notify the content department that we have a meeting next week. We need to reassess our strategy for the talent show track."

Gong Yu paced back and forth in his office.
"The power of sincerity," he murmured to himself. "We've been pursuing dazzling stages, fashionable contestants, and international concepts. But we've forgotten that the most basic need of the audience is emotional resonance."
Gong Yu turned on his computer and watched Mao Buyi's live performance of "Sorrow" again.
When the camera panned across the audience, many were silently wiping away tears.
"What he sang wasn't just a song, it was the late-night monologue of every ordinary person." Gong Yu smiled bitterly. "Tang Lou, what you won wasn't skill, it was people's hearts."
"But how exactly did you manage to pick out Cat Not Easy from so many contestants at a glance?"
Gong Yu and Tang Lou are old rivals, but the deeper the contact, the less Gong Yu can understand Tang Lou's operations and judgments. How exactly did he manage to do such brilliant moves?
"Extraordinary luck?"
That evening, Gong Yu posted a message on Weibo: "Congratulations to 'The Coming One,' congratulations to Mao Buyi, and congratulations to that forever sincere platform."
Gong Yu's post received many likes and shares, and was hailed as Tanglou truly defeating his peers in the industry.
After the show ended, discussions about "The Coming One" and Mao Buyi continued to escalate.
The Zhihu question, "How would you rate the first season of 'The Coming One'?" received 2.3 answers. The most upvoted comment reads: "The most valuable aspect of this show is its respect for music and for people. It didn't treat the contestants as commodities, but allowed them to grow freely. Mao Buyi's victory was less a victory of talent and more a victory of authenticity. In this meticulously crafted era, his roughness, clumsiness, and ordinariness became the most touching force."
On Weibo, a topic has quietly emerged: #Thank you Tomorrow'sChild for letting me see myself#
"@Office worker Xiao Li: I work overtime until late at night every day, listening to 'Sorrow' on the last subway. Thank you, Cat, for letting me know that I'm not the only one struggling."
"@College student Xiao Zhang: The night I failed the postgraduate entrance exam, I played 'A Person Like Me' on repeat. After crying, I decided to try again next year."
@Nurse Xiao Liu: As a fellow nurse, I cried like a baby when I saw Cat win the championship. It turns out that ordinary people can also have dreams and can be seen.
In a Douban group, a long post was pinned to the top:
"Cat's Difficulty: This Championship is a Victory for All of Us Ordinary People"
The article states: "He's not a star in the traditional sense. He's not handsome, can't dance, and speaks with a slight accent. But every song he writes feels like it grows from our hearts. The night he won, many of my friends who never follow celebrities were sharing and celebrating. Because what we were celebrating wasn't just one person's success, but a possibility—the possibility that ordinary people can be seen, the possibility that authenticity can be respected."
In the comments section of KuMiao Video, one message received hundreds of thousands of likes: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, and thank you 'The Coming One.' In this era of pursuing quick success and traffic, you have made us believe that good content is worth waiting for, and real people deserve to be loved. Cat's victory is the best gift that the KuMiao platform has given us."
