HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

Zhang Yu glanced at Yuan Weiren beside her.

Yuan Weiren had told him long ago that Lin Mo was very good.

He really didn't expect Lin Mo to sing his song.

Interesting, they've gone all out with that close-up shot.

Yuan Weiren did not know before that Lin Mo could sing Zhang Yu's songs.

It's still a classic among classics like "The End of the Song".

He felt that with Lin Mo's singing skills, a complete performance wouldn't be difficult.

The difficult part is how to sing it.

Is it to imitate the original singer's style, or to sing it with your own unique flavor?

Especially when the original singer is present.

And that's not all.

Yuan Weiren glanced discreetly at the audience seats.

The lyricist of this song, Zhang Yu's wife, Shiyilang, was sitting in the audience.

The song "The End of the Song" was created in 1996.

It is a typical sad love song.

When he wrote this song, Shiyilang was not yet married to Zhang Yu.

At that time, Shiyilang went to attend his godfather's wedding and was moved by the scene.

She thought at the time that if she had chosen to be with her godfather, then all the people attending the wedding banquet would have been her relatives and friends.

And she was the bride in her wedding dress.

It has to be said... the thought process of creators is truly different from that of ordinary people.

On stage, the prelude begins.

Unlike the original's heavy piano sound, this version has a slightly lighter melody.

This made Zhang Yu, who was on the judging panel, raise an eyebrow. He immediately recognized that the arrangement had been changed.

Lin Mo picked up the microphone and began to sing:

"【When you let him put the ring on your finger

I noticed the complex smile on your face.

That was originally a promise I was supposed to make to you.

Now I can only hide in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

After the first verse was sung, Yuan Weiren was already nodding secretly on the judges' panel.

The style is already established.

It's not an imitation of Zhang Yu's hoarse, heart-wrenching sob, nor is it the clear, youthful voice of Lin Mo when he sang "Those Years".

Rather, it's a kind of carefree and unrestrained spirit.

It's as if they're saying, "Yes, you got married, but I'm not the groom, so what?"

This way of handling emotions is quite unique.

Zhang Yu squinted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

That's interesting, really interesting.

The young man didn't intend to imitate him; instead, he reinterpreted the song.

He sang a sad love song and transformed it into a carefree song of letting go.

At this moment, Lin Mo's singing continued on stage.

The song has now entered the first chorus:

"I finally understand the loneliness of the end of a performance and the departure of the audience."

Only heartbroken people have

Your last red dress remains in my eyes

I have no more excuses to cling to the past.

"So this is the loneliness of the end of a song and the departure of the audience."

What else am I waiting for you to do?

You held my sleeve tightly, then let go and let me go.

This time, we're breaking up for good.

Backstage, Yang Chong Wei frowned.

As a singer with a typical melancholic voice, he would certainly sing this song, and he was extremely familiar with it.

However, Lin Mo's approach to Chang'an is too risky!

"The Song Ends and the People Disperse" was originally a typical sad love song, and Zhang Yu's performance was full of resentment and pain.

Ke Linmo's version is more like a look back after letting go.

Less pain, more regret.

Less resentment, more instructions.

Is this going to subvert the core of the original love song?

on the stage.

The song then enters the second verse loop.

The lyrics are repeated in the second part.

But the sense of relief in Lin Mo's singing is amplified even more.

It hurts, but I'm letting go.

It's a sense of relief.

He sang the last line, "This time, break up with me completely," very softly, as if he were making a solemn farewell.

Then, he closed his eyes and tilted his head back slightly.

Looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Lin Mo can be considered to be paying tribute to this era.

Lin Mo only opened his eyes and bowed deeply to the audience when the piano music at the end of the program faded away in the studio.

Zhang Yu and Yuan Weiren, the judges, were the first to applaud.

Then, the audience realized what was happening.

boom!

Thunderous applause!

Several girls cried so hard their makeup was ruined, but they were still waving their arms frantically and shouting Lin Mo's name at the top of their lungs.

When it came to the comments section, Zhang Yu was the first to pick up the microphone again.

He didn't comment immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"Lin Mo, you've surprised me."

His voice seemed even hoarser than before, not intentionally, but due to his emotions.

"I've sung this song countless times, but listening to you sing it today, I realized that this song can be interpreted in this way."

He paused, his gaze shifting to Shiyilang in the first row of the audience:

"My wife is sitting down there; she wrote the lyrics for this song."

The camera immediately focused on Shiyilang, who smiled and nodded at the camera, her eyes still a little red.

Then he made a thumbs-up gesture with both hands.

Finally, Zhang Yu said, "You're amazing, really."

Clearly, Lin Mo's performance was appreciated by the original creators.

Yuan Weiren took the microphone, his face beaming with barely suppressed smugness:

"Lin Mo, I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"The arrangement of this song is very bold, but you did it."

"You not only sang your own version, but you also breathed new life into the song."

"From a technical point of view, your voice control has improved again. The emotional changes are more difficult to portray than just high notes."

"From an emotional perspective... I'm a little curious, you're only twenty-two, how can you understand such complex adult emotions so thoroughly?"

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then picked up the microphone:

"Thank you both, teachers. Actually, I'm just trying to understand each character in this song."

"The bride and groom, and 'me' who can only hide in the festivities."

"Each character has their own story and emotions, and I just want to sing them all out."

This humble statement only made the judges appreciate it even more.

Chai Zhiping picked up the microphone, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Mo:

"Lin Mo, you were indeed acting out a complete story on stage just now."

"Every glance and every expression constructs a different character and situation."

A smile appeared on her face as she asked directly:

Have you ever considered acting?

The scene erupted in uproar!

Is Angie Chai publicly extending an olive branch?

And it happened on set, in front of so many viewers and cameras!

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, then said modestly:

"Teacher Chai, you flatter me. I'm just a singer, I don't know anything about acting."

"No need to be modest," Angie Chai said with a smile.

"I have a good eye for people. Your appearance and acting talent are very suitable for film and television dramas."

She paused, then added:

"I happen to have a project in the works, we can talk about it then."

That's already quite straightforward.

A chorus of envious gasps immediately rose from the audience.

Being noticed by Angie Chai is an opportunity that many newcomers dream of!

After the comments are finished, we will proceed to the scoring stage.

There are five judges, each with four points, for a total of twenty points.

Lin Mo's final score was 17 points!

On stage, Tao Zi looked at the lit-up score and gave an awkward but polite smile.

This score is actually not low.

But against the backdrop of this stunning performance, it seemed somewhat... jarring.
