HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue
Chapter 18: Ratings Soar
Xiao Mei's face also fell, her delicate eyebrows furrowed:
"This person has no manners at all! Just sing, why all the attitude stuff, all that sarcastic talk!"
They were unaware of the conflict between the two backstage, but even from a purely bystander's perspective, Liu Mingfeng did indeed go a bit too far.
This is absolutely intolerable!
If live streaming comments existed in this era, Liu Mingfeng would probably be riddled with insults by them right now.
The rage in their hearts was enough to propel them into the realm of terrestrial immortals.
Liu Mingfeng is only benefiting from the fact that we are no longer in the era of internet traffic.
"Lin Mo! Give him a good beating!"
Rongrong waved her little fist and shouted at the TV screen.
"Exactly! It's outrageous!" Xiaomei exclaimed indignantly.
Then, the camera focused on Lin Mo.
Under the lights, his expression was calm, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.
"I think your harsh words were more exciting than your performance just now."
"Pfft—"
Xiao Mei and Rong Rong were both stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Absolutely amazing!" Xiaomei slapped her thigh, her snow-white flesh trembling.
"Lin Mo's response was brilliant! It was like killing someone by attacking their spirit!"
"Use softness to overcome hardness!" Rongrong's eyes gleamed with admiration. "Look at Liu Mingfeng, his face has turned green!"
Lin Mo's next statement, "However, when it comes to performances, it's not about whoever shouts the loudest who's right," made the two women think it made a lot of sense.
"Not very lethal, but extremely insulting," Xiaomei said with a smile.
"Lin Mo is so eloquent! He seems so gentle, but he can be so sharp when he criticizes people!"
Rongrong nodded vigorously:
"And he was so calm! He wasn't provoked at all; instead, he made the other person lose face. So cool!"
After a heated exchange, the two were extremely excited about Lin Mo's next performance.
The song title appeared on the subtitles: "Those Years".
"Huh? An original song?" Rongrong was a little surprised.
"Lin Mo sang an original song during the audition," Xiao Mei, a veteran observer, explained.
When the song started playing, Xiaomei and Rongrong's eyes lit up.
Both of them had just graduated from university and were just starting out in the workforce.
Campus life, first love, graduation and parting...
Those memories that were thought to be buried in the past instantly came alive with the lyrics and melody.
Moreover, the style this time is completely different from that of "Nanshan Nan".
The lyrics of "Those Years" are very vivid.
Most importantly, Lin Mo's singing voice is so youthful, coupled with his face...
They shared the same feelings as the audience at the scene.
And then the line "【comb your hair like an adult and put on a handsome suit】" appeared.
The camera began switching back and forth between the judges' panel, Lin Mo, and Liu Mingfeng behind Lin Mo.
Xiao Mei didn't realize it at first.
On second thought, he burst into laughter.
Rongrong's brain circuits are a bit slow:
"What are you laughing at? This song is so touching, I almost cried."
"Hahaha, look at Liu Mingfeng standing in the back, doesn't he look like the character in Lin Mo's lyrics?"
Rongrong then belatedly realized what was happening and couldn't help but chuckle:
"I didn't expect there to be such an Easter egg, and there were even backup dancers."
However, this was just a side story.
When the chorus started, the two women got goosebumps all over.
"The heavy rains we missed, the love we missed..."
Isn't this... all those years we missed?
Those confessions that were too shy to say, those lovers who broke up because of misunderstandings, those friends who went their separate ways after graduation and could hardly reunite...
Lin Mo's singing was not as intense as when she sang "Sea of Tears" in the previous round, but it carried a kind of power that directly touched people's hearts.
It instantly transported them back to their youthful days when they wore school uniforms and were just beginning to experience romantic feelings.
As the song ended, the guitar's last notes faded away.
On television, the studio erupted in applause.
Xiao Mei's apartment was quiet.
The two girls stared blankly at Lin Mo bowing and thanking them on the screen, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
After a while, Rongrong began to rub her thighs vigorously with her hands.
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"
"Hiss..." Xiao Mei's eyes widened in anger:
"Why did you grab my thigh like that?"
Rongrong stared blankly at Xiaomei:
"What kind of treasure have we fallen for?"
This Saturday night is destined to be anything but peaceful.
......
In the rented room, Zeng Peici sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bag of potato chips in her arms, her eyes fixed on the TV.
When she saw Liu Mingfeng spouting nonsense at Lin Mo, she was so angry that she threw the bag of potato chips aside and pouted.
"I'm so angry!" She turned to look at Lin Mo beside her.
"Why does this person talk like that! Has he been eliminated yet?"
Lin Mo shook his head, peeling an orange as he spoke:
"Two people were eliminated in the last episode, but he wasn't among them."
"Huh?" Zeng Peici was even angrier, her face contorted with anger, her cheeks puffed out.
"I really want to kill him and send him home to his mother!"
Seeing her angry yet helpless expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh, and popped half an orange into her mouth:
"Alright, let's watch the show."
The oranges were sweet, which slightly eased Zeng Peici's anger.
She refocused her attention on the television and, seeing Lin Mo's nonchalant rebuttal, immediately beamed and clapped her hands in approval.
When the melody of "Those Years" started playing, she was completely immersed in it and hummed along softly.
After the program ended, Zeng Peici said confidently:
"Amo, this song is definitely going to be a hit!"
As it turned out, Zeng Peici's premonition was correct.
The song "Those Years" quickly sparked heated discussions and spread among young people in the province, especially after the broadcast of this episode of "Super Star Avenue".
Lin Mo has become quite popular.
Although it hasn't been officially released yet, people in record stores all over the streets have started asking if they have the CD of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
Online, on PTT forums, Wretch, and various music sections, there are countless discussion posts about this song and Lin Mo.
"After listening to 'Those Years,' I was reminded of my first love..."
"Just who is Lin Mo? He's handsome, can write songs, and sings them well!"
"I'm looking for the full, high-definition audio version of 'Those Years'! The TV show version isn't enough!"
Fortunately, Lin Mo was prepared.
Before the show was recorded, he had already registered the copyright for the complete lyrics and music of "Those Years" through official channels.
In the field of law, Lin Mo is now practically a semi-professional.
......
In an office in the CTV building.
Wang Weizhong, the chief producer of "Super Star Avenue", is looking at the latest ratings report with Yuan Weiren.
The graph clearly shows the program's trajectory.
From 0.76 at the beginning of the broadcast, it climbed to 3.2 in the last episode.
The latest episode has reached a peak viewership rating of 4.1!
The average viewership has remained stable at over 3.5.
In the Taiwanese variety show market of 2007, this was already a very impressive figure, even a blockbuster level one.
A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Weizhong's face:
"As expected, talent shows are the way to go now."
