HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

Many contestants backstage gasped in shock.

The audience members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is the smell of gunpowder really that strong?

This statement is implying that Lin Mo won because of his appearance or other factors.

Many of them had just seen Lin Mo chatting with one of the judges.

On the judges' panel, Yuan Weiren frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Zheng Jianguo watched Lin Mo with great interest, wanting to see how he would respond.

Tao Zi was also a little surprised and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Wow, Mingfeng is really motivated! So, Lin Mo, do you have anything to say in response?"

All eyes were on Lin Mo.

Under the lights, Lin Mo's expression remained calm, with even a faint smile playing on his lips.

He took the topic from the host and slowly began to speak:

"I think your harsh words were more exciting than your performance just now."

The moment Lin Mo said this, the room fell silent.

immediately--

"Pfft..."

It's unclear who couldn't hold back, but a clear, suppressed laugh came from the backstage contestants' area.

Immediately afterwards, a few suppressed chuckles rang out from the audience.

That's so hurtful!

Moreover, it was said so casually, yet it was incredibly damaging!

Liu Mingfeng's smug smile froze instantly, and his lips twitched.

It was like punching a soft pile of cotton; not only did it fail to harm the other party, it also left the user feeling suffocated.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that the microphone was not in his hand at all.

Lin Mo didn't give him a chance, not even glancing at him, calmly scanning the audience below, and continued:

"However, when it comes to performances, it's not a matter of whoever shouts the loudest being right."

Liu Mingfeng's face flushed red instantly.

There were even more suppressed laughs coming from backstage.

That was a brilliant response, effortlessly deflecting Liu Mingfeng's earlier harsh words.

His performance just now also turned out badly.

Seeing that the tension was about to escalate and the recording time was running out, Tao Zi quickly took over the conversation to bring the pace back on track:

"Wow! Lin Mo's answer... is quite philosophical!"

"So, facing Liu Mingfeng's challenge with such attitude, what song will you bring to the competition today? Is it also an original song?"

Lin Mo nodded: "It's an original work."

"What's the song called?" Tao Zi pressed.

Lin Mo raised his eyes and looked at the camera.

He also looked at the expectant, scrutinizing, or curious gazes below the stage and said:

"Those Years"

"Oh~ 'Those Years'." Tao Zi nodded. "Okay, let's hand the stage over to Lin Mo."

Lin Mo picked up the guitar that had been tuned in advance, then sat on the stool in the center of the stage, put the microphone on the stand, and prepared to start.

With the "Super Star Avenue" program reaching this point, the competition system has been upgraded, finally giving the contestants enough stage time to complete a full performance.

Unlike before, the preliminary rounds or elimination rounds no longer only lasted a tense minute.

This allows contestants to showcase themselves more fully and allows the audience to enjoy the performance more attentively.

Many people, starting from this episode, found the contestants they liked and were willing to support through these relatively complete performances.

The show's ratings and influence began to truly rise from then on.

On the stage, Lin Mo, who was ready, lowered his eyes slightly, indicating that he could begin.

The lighting technician understood, and the main lights dimmed slightly, leaving only a soft, weak spotlight focused on Lin Mo.

He seemed to be enveloped in a hazy halo.

Lin Mo gently plucked the strings of the zither.

A crisp, bright melody with an ethereal quality flowed from fingertips and strings, drifting through the studio.

The moment that simple yet catchy intro played, Yuan Weiren, sitting in the audience, revealed a gleam of excitement and anticipation behind his glasses.

coming!

Finally, I can hear what this guy's new song is like!

His plump body leaned slightly forward, his fingers lightly tapping the musical score in rhythm.

On stage, after playing the intro, Lin Mo brought his lips close to the microphone and finally began to sing:

"【Back to the very beginning】"

记忆中你青涩的脸

We have finally arrived at this day.

桌垫下的老照片

Countless memories linked

Today, the boy is going to keep his final appointment with the girl.

The singing was melodious and pure, carrying a youthful clarity that lingered in the studio.

This is completely different from the skill-showing performance in the previous episode.

It's like an old friend gently whispering a distant story in your ear.

This song later became a huge hit across the country and was widely sung.

It's worth mentioning that the original singer, Hu Xia, was the champion of the sixth season of "Super Star Avenue".

She is also the first contestant from mainland China to win the championship of the show.

"Those Years" is undoubtedly Hu Xia's representative work, and it won numerous awards in 12 along with the movie's huge success.

Of course, when talking about this song, one cannot avoid mentioning that phenomenal movie.

You Are the Apple of My Eye

After Hu Xia won the championship, he became an overnight sensation, and the film production company specially invited him to sing the theme song tailor-made for the movie.

The lyrics were written by Giddens Ko, who also wrote and directed the original novel.

It must be said that the novelist's lyrics are incredibly vivid, with every word a concrete representation of youth.

At that moment, the director timely panned the camera across the five judges, capturing their reactions.

Yuan Weiren kept nodding as the prelude began.

After Lin Mo started singing, he listened even more attentively, his eyes fixed on the lyrics, his fingers still tapping out the beat.

Honestly, these lyrics are really well written.

Yuan Weiren secretly praised him.

The imagery is incredibly vivid, and the melody is smooth and catchy.

It's completely different from Lin Mo's previous folk style, "Nanshan Nan".

He couldn't help but look up at the young man on stage, who was focused on playing and singing, his admiration undisguised.

This scene would inevitably be captured on camera, but Yuan Weiren didn't care.

He genuinely thought this newcomer was very talented.

Yang Pei-an, standing next to him, appeared much calmer.

As a rock musician known for his high notes and powerful vocals, he felt that the song's style was somewhat soft.

It's not his personal type.

However, he also admitted that the song has a catchy melody and is easy to sing, making it a good pop song.

The camera continued to move, focusing on Zuo An'an's face.

Zuo An'an is also a veteran composer. She has written popular works such as "I Don't Want to Grow Up" for the Snake Band and "What If" for a female artist who betrayed her best friend.

She was quite interested in Lin Mo's song; it suited her taste perfectly.

Moreover, she could tell that there was a story behind Lin Mo's singing.

At this moment, she unconsciously rested her chin on her hand, her eyes focused, listening attentively.

On stage, Lin Mo began the second verse:

"【Back to the very beginning】"

Standing blankly in front of the mirror

Clumsily tying the red tie into a knot...

The lyrics become increasingly vivid, as if you can see a helpless young man nervously dressing himself in front of the mirror.

Even Zheng Jianguo, the stylist judge, felt that the lyrics of this song were incredibly vivid.

Close your eyes and listen; the scene will appear clearly before your eyes, and the sound will soothe your soul.

However, when he heard Lin Mo sing the next line, his expression instantly became a little strange, and he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the stage.

Upon seeing this, I almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
