“With FTM’s current fanbase, 1000-yuan tickets would sell out instantly. They gave up tens of millions in earnings.”
“Sheng Yao showed real class this time.”
Doors opened at 6 PM, with the venue quickly filling.
Many fans brought amber-gold support items and held Q-version portrait signs.
At exactly 7 PM, the five’s appearance triggered deafening cheers and screams.
“Ahhhh!”
“They’re here, they’re here!”
“Brothers are so handsome—I love you all!”
The five stood in a line on stage, holding hands and bowing neatly to the audience: “Hello everyone, we are FTM.”
Screams below nearly lifted the roof.
The host smiled: “Welcome FTM’s five handsome guys to the scene. Want to introduce yourselves first?”
Mo Xun picked up the microphone, joking: “Everyone here today are FTM fans—you wouldn’t mix up which of us five is who, right? Do you know my name?”
Chaotic voices from below: “Mo Xun” “Fang Yinnian” “Tan Junwen” “Tang Che” “Fu Fei”!
People shouted everyone’s names.
Mo Xun: “…”
Laughter erupted around—fans were definitely doing this on purpose.
Mo Xun said helplessly: “Alright, let’s introduce ourselves. Hello everyone, I’m FTM’s captain Mo Xun.”
Others also picked up microphones for self-introductions.
Host: “Today is FTM’s special two-year debut anniversary. The company organized this fan meeting to celebrate. Seeing so many fans, what would you like to say to them?”
This meeting was also live-streamed on Weibo.
Fans unable to attend could watch their idols online—the live stream’s concurrent viewers were quite substantial.
Fang Yinnian picked up the mic, smiling: “We’re especially happy to interact with fans so closely.”
He paused, saying very sincerely: “Actually, when we first debuted we weren’t very confident. FTM’s debut was rushed, and as a harmony group, we worried about not gaining recognition.”
“Fortunately, as time passed, our recognition gradually increased. More and more musical notes joined our music ocean, acknowledging FTM.”
“Today, 10,000 fans from across the country sit below, plus many unable to attend watching this meeting in livestreams. Really, thank you all so much.”
“Our journey from nobodies to now couldn’t happen without everyone’s encouragement and support. Thank you.”
Fang Yinnian earnestly thanked the audience while other teammates picked up microphones: “Thank you!” “Thank you, musical notes!”
Many girls at the venue were sobbing.
Yinnian’s voice was too pleasant, his speaking tone very sincere—directly moving many fans to tears.
Recalling FTM’s initial widespread cyberbullying, later questioning and abuse from stage accidents… everyone felt very heartbroken.
The five handsome guys’ journey had been truly difficult!
Host: “Do others have anything to say?”
Tan Junwen picked up the mic: “Our feelings are the same as Yinnian’s—very grateful everyone came from far away to see us. Everyone’s enthusiasm deeply moves us.”
Fu Fei smiled brightly: “Thank you all for your support! We’ll read all the letters you write. We’re happy our songs bring you joy—hope you’ll continue being happy every day!”
Tang Che said: “I’m not good with words, but anyway, thank you everyone. We’ll continue working hard.”
All five bowed to the audience.
Fans below gave them enthusiastic applause.
The host smiled: “Good, thank you FTM. Next is today’s special segment—inviting fans on stage to sing with FTM… Do you want the chance to karaoke with your idols?”
Fans below shouted themselves hoarse: “Yes!”
Host: “Great, first round lottery please check the big screen… 389, 707, 523, 189, 336… Please have five lucky fans verify their seat numbers and come to the main stage!”
Five girls excitedly ran on stage. Each could choose to duet solo with an idol or have all five accompany them.
One socially confident fan specifically requested Fang Yinnian accompany her singing FTM’s first title track “For the Music.” She immediately went off-key by miles, completely confusing Fang Yinnian.
Fang Yinnian tried pulling her back on key but failed.
As the girl freely went off-key like an untamed wild horse, fans below laughed hysterically while nearby teammates struggled not to laugh.
The livestream was flooded with “hahaha.”
“This girl’s so socially confident—I wouldn’t dare open my mouth!”
“Free-spirited singing style—making up melodies as she goes?”
“Music group fan meetings are so interesting hahaha!”
“Musical note sisters are so talented, I’m dying of laughter”
“Comedy show level entertainment!”
Fortunately, fan-idol duets only required short segments. If singing complete songs, Fang Yinnian would probably break character laughing.
After their brief collaboration ended, the girl excitedly said: “Thank you Yinnian! I love your voice so much. Hehe, this is the best song of my life.”
Fang Yinnian said gentlemanly: “Thank you, you sang very well.”
The girl nearly fainted from happiness.
Other fans also collaborated with their favorites for live karaoke, with some boldly requesting to sing with all five FTM members.
FTM indulged fans on-site, fulfilling their requests.
The host brought over several bags of small gifts: “These are gifts for lucky fans—including signed postcards.”
Both venue and livestream exploded.
“Holy crap, jealousy is destroying my face!”
“Ahhh so envious of the sisters who got on stage—singing with FTM plus getting postcards”
“If I were them I’d faint from happiness”
“This is too fan-spoiling—hate that I couldn’t get time off to attend. Next year wait for me, I’ll definitely come see you~”
Today’s activity program proceeded smoothly. After fan-idol duets ended, everyone interacted together with fun mini-games, followed by a fan Q&A session.
Venue fans could raise hands to ask questions for designated members to answer.
This segment generated enthusiasm with eager competition for microphones from roving hosts to stand and ask questions.
One fan asked: “Could I ask if you have concert plans? We really want to see FTM concerts.”
This question excited many fans at the venue.
Many voices echoed: “Exactly, concerts!”
“Hurry up and hold them—we’ve got ticket money ready!”
“Ahhhh definitely come to our city!”
“National tour please! Visit every provincial capital, okay?”
“Concerts, concerts!”
The audience below was chirping excitedly and very lively.
Mo Xun smiled and said: “For concerts, we don’t have time this year, and we don’t have enough songs either. Don’t worry everyone, we’ll definitely hold them in the future.”
Fang Yinnian gently clenched his fingers, knowing Mo Xun’s words were just to comfort the fans.
How long would this “future” be? None of them knew.
The fans didn’t think too much about it, looking forward to FTM’s concerts. It would probably be within these two years anyway – they’d definitely go see them perform live!
***
The interview session lasted half an hour.
Questions from below were endless – asking about preferences, asking about their future plans. Such face-to-face communication opportunities were extremely rare, and the fans’ enthusiasm nearly set the entire stadium ablaze.
After the Q&A ended, the host asked loudly: “Did everyone have fun at today’s fan meeting?”
The audience below shouted in unison: “Yes!”
Host: “Time flies so fast – the fan meeting is about to end. Finally, FTM has prepared a special gift for everyone. What could it be?”
Mo Xun proactively said: “It’s a song independently written and composed by our Yinnian, called ‘Thank You for Your Love.'”
Extremely excited cheers erupted from the venue.
It was a song written by Yinnian?!
When Fang Yinnian released his single “Listening to Snow,” he had written and composed it himself, so everyone knew Yinnian had creative abilities.
Later, Fang Yinnian hadn’t released singles for a long time, and some haters mocked him for being “creatively exhausted” and “taking years to squeeze out one song.”
Now on FTM’s special two-year debut anniversary, everyone could hear a song written by Fang Yinnian live?
Fans were incredibly excited.
Staff brought over two guitars.
Mo Xun and Xiao Fei sat in front playing guitars while the other three stood in back. All five collaborated to begin a gentle guitar performance.
“On the road ahead there’s endless confusion”
“Thank you for lighting up the way for me”
“Those steadfast companionship and watching over”
“Are my most secure safe harbor”
“Every encouraging gaze”
“Every sincere cheer”
“The strength of your support”
“Lights up the night sky like stars”
…
This was a ballad with all five FTM members taking turns singing short sections, with full harmony in the chorus. The melody was gentle and pleasant, with lyrics expressing Fang Yinnian’s feelings for the fans.
Many fans below were moved to tears, and the livestream was flooded with comments.
“Domestic entertainment’s highest level of fan-spoiling – Fang Yinnian!”
“Which idol personally writes songs for fans?”
“Nian-nian is so gentle, I’ll support you forever~”
“The five handsome guys are amazing – who understands the feeling of getting responses from your idols!”
“FTM fighting! We’ll celebrate three years, five years, ten years together ahhh!”
“Forever FTM!”
They smoothly finished the song.
Excited screams and crying erupted from below.
The host also felt emotional, smiling: “Thank you FTM for bringing this new song ‘Thank You for Your Love’ – today’s fan meeting is also FTM’s new song debut.”
“After going back, everyone can listen to this song on major music platforms. Thank you musical notes for supporting FTM.”
“See you next year!”
***
That evening, #FTM Two Year Debut Anniversary Fan Meeting# stayed on trending searches for a long time with very high discussion.
The song Fang Yinnian wrote for fans also sparked heated discussions on major forums.
Some haters eagerly jumped out: “This song Fang Yinnian wrote is so terrible – can’t you fans eat something better?”
Musical notes immediately fought back: “Your idol doesn’t write songs for you – is it because they can’t, or because they won’t?”
“OP sounds so sour! We know you’re jealous that Fang Yinnian writes songs for fans – why don’t you become an FTM fan too ^^”
“We eat very well – OP, you should eat something good yourself.”
“OP has loved eating sh*t since childhood and doesn’t understand the joy of us always eating at banquets~”
“The music group held a fan meeting for their two-year anniversary and it’s causing this much hatred? So many threads opened outside, fans and haters flooding comments again!”
“Being popular is reassuring ^^”
On major music platforms, FTM’s new song also made it onto weekly charts. The data was quite good, with many passersby clicking to listen.
Fang Yinnian’s mood was very complex. Last year on August 18th, FTM’s new album went online, and today August 18th – this whole year they always felt busy, but looking back carefully, they’d only recorded this one new song.
There were no recording plans for the second half either.
Fang Yinnian felt anxious but helpless. He sensed their team’s development path was gradually deviating from their original “music group” positioning.
Management no longer valued music as much as initially. His songs were also suppressed by the company – who knew when they could meet everyone.
His individual efforts couldn’t change anything.
***
On August 20th, FTM’s official studio suddenly released FTM’s upcoming schedule.
August 23-27: Mo Xun recording “Street Dance of China”
August 23-27: Fu Fei recording “Idol Producer”
August 24, 31: Fang Yinnian recording “Time Records”
August 22, 29: Tang Che recording “Music Station”
August 23-25: Tan Junwen recording “Chinese New Rap”
Fans were completely dumbfounded.
What was happening?! Why suddenly split up?!
Just two days ago they were happily holding a fan meeting, and now the five were separately recording variety shows.
The super topic filled with questions from musical notes.
“How did the damn company arrange schedules? I want to see all five together on variety shows”
“Want to see the five together – they’re only happy when together”
“Splitting up this early, their money-grabbing intentions are written all over their faces”
“Wait, where’s the second official album? Are they dismissing us with just one single for the two-year anniversary?”
“Don’t understand Sheng Yao’s planning – I thought FTM would continue recording albums, performing, then prepare concerts next year”
There were also many supportive comments:
“No matter what you choose, musical notes will accompany you”
“So happy – this way I can watch five variety shows weekly, five times the happiness!”
“Splitting up in the second year after debut is quite common – other idol groups do this too. Company planning issues, everyone stay calm”
“For solo fans this is great – I don’t want to see those teammates every day, so annoying”
“Recording variety shows separately is solo fan heaven – don’t bundle them together”
…
On the evening the news was released, Mo Xun and Fu Fei were packing in the dorm. The variety shows they were recording had extensive daily behind-the-scenes filming, requiring guests to live directly at the production team’s base in Nancheng.
Seeing Mo Xun constantly stuffing things into his suitcase, Fang Yinnian couldn’t help asking: “Moving over this time, how long will you stay?”
Mo Xun said: “I’m a regular guest recording the entire season – won’t be back until late November.”
Fang Yinnian said quietly: “You don’t have to compete anyway – don’t get too tired during dance practice.”
Mo Xun stood up, looking at Fang Yinnian and gently ruffling his hair: “Three months will pass quickly – wait for me to come back.”
The young man’s slender fingers gently passed through his hair. Fang Yinnian’s heart pounded like drums – he could only nod: “Mm.”
Mo Xun smiled, picked up his suitcase and left the bedroom.
Three months would pass quickly.
The contract with Sheng Yao would also expire soon.
Everything would get better.
So, Yinnian, you must wait for me.
