HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

"Because... the place is too small, and there's not enough money to be made?"

Following his train of thought, Zeng Peici finally understood.

"So you can only do both acting and singing?"

"Yes." Lin Mo nodded, swallowed the last bit of food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Take Fei Lun Hai as an example."

"Releasing albums and acting may seem like a multi-faceted career, but it's actually a helpless move to 'do odd jobs'."

"But now it's been packaged as an honor."

Zeng Peici listened in a daze, feeling that her understanding had been completely refreshed.

She subconsciously got up to clear the dishes, her mind still processing the information.

That seems to make sense!

Lin Mo watched her retreating figure and continued:

"However, the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry still holds a lot of resources and connections."

"Therefore, I need a voice."

Zeng Peici paused in washing the dishes, turned around and asked:

"Then... what do you want to do, Amo?"

Lin Mo walked to the window and looked at the Taipei night view.

As dusk settles, the city becomes quite bustling.

But compared to the night view of first-tier cities in mainland China, it is still far inferior.

"My current task is to build up basic popularity and leverage the resources of the Taiwanese entertainment industry."

"So I need a plan that allows me to get started with my current resources and paves the way for my future development back in mainland China."

Lin Mo said softly.

"A solution that would give me more control."

Zeng Peici finished washing the dishes, dried her hands, walked over, and leaned against the door frame, looking at him.

Under the light, Lin Mo's profile was clearly defined, and his eyes held a firmness and ambition she had never seen before.

She suddenly realized that the mainland boy she had picked up might be much more capable than she had imagined.

"Then..." she asked softly, "Have you thought of a solution?"

Lin Mo turned around and smiled at her: "I guess so."

......

......

three days later.

The latest episode of "Super Star Avenue" aired as scheduled.

The duet "Want to Be Free" by Lin Mo and Lin Youjia quickly sparked discussion.

It's not just about the song itself.

Lin Mo's interpretation of "freedom" on stage also sparked heated discussions on various forums in Taiwan.

On the PTT gossip board, a post titled "[Does anyone watch Super Star Avenue? What level is Lin Mo's interpretation?]" has been pushed to the top of the trending list.

"Putting aside the explanations, his songs are truly amazing; the lyrics and music are both incredible!"

"I was truly blown away by his explanation of freedom."

"+1, my scalp is tingling, I never knew words could be interpreted like this."

"Are you sure this isn't a script provided by the production team?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Lin Youjia's bewildered expression next to him doesn't seem like she's acting."

"The song is really good, I've been listening to it on repeat all night."

......

Discussions like this can be found everywhere, on anonymous websites and various BBS forums.

Some people praised Lin Mo's talent, while others questioned whether it was just a publicity stunt.

But in any case, the name "Lin Mo" has firmly established itself among the show's fans.

Lin Mo, the person involved, was also idling online.

"It seems necessary to assemble an online army team."

Lin Mo thought to himself.

"Whoever controls the rebounds controls the entire game."

The famous quote by Takenori Akagi, a legend of high school basketball, more than 20 years ago, still resonates today.

So, they entered the rapidly developing entertainment industry via the internet.

While those who control online public opinion cannot control the entire entertainment industry, they can still accomplish certain things if used properly.

Lin Mo then turned his attention to the fan QQ group he had secretly joined on the forum.

The atmosphere was exceptionally lively at this time.

The group owner, "Shaanxi Sweet Girl (Art Exam Version)," uploaded a clip from the program immediately.

【Sweet Girl from Shaanxi (Art Exam Version)】: (Video Link)

[Shaanxi Sweet Girl (Art Exam Version)]: Freshly baked! Mo Ge's latest stage performance! Mo Ge fans, gather here!

[Milk with Sugar]: Ahhh, I watched it! I quite like Lin Youjia, but I absolutely love this song! Their harmonies are amazing!

[Drinking King]: Brother Mo! Awesome! When will the audio be uploaded? I want to download it and loop it!

[Solo Tree Spirit Challenge]: Am I the only one, a struggling migrant worker in Beijing, who wants to cry? "Yearning for freedom in a skyscraper," these lyrics really resonate with me...

【Shaanxi Sweet Girl (Art Exam Version)】: @Solo Tree Spirit, are you in Yanjing?

[Soloing the Tree Spirit]: Uh, yes, why did the group admin ask the question?

[Sweet Girl from Shaanxi (Arts Exam Version)]: I want to apply to the Beijing Film Academy! Maybe we'll run into each other there someday!

[Drinking King]: Wow! The group leader is going to be a big star?

[Milk with Sugar]: Go, sweet girl! If you become a star in the future, remember to ask Brother Mo to act in your movies!

[Sweet Girl from Shaanxi (Art Exam Version)]: Absolutely! Mo Ge is my ultimate bias!

[Administrator of the "Idiot Bar"]: Amazing!

......

The group chat was in full swing, while Lin Mo silently watched from the shadows.

It has a strange feeling of being "stalked".

Watching these strangers get excited, discuss, and even connect because of their performance.

It feels quite unique.

The group admin is actually going to take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy?

Lin Mo thought to herself, maybe we really could act together in a movie someday.

As he was thinking, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

[The brand's popularity has significantly increased, reaching the level of a rising star in the entertainment industry!]

[Your work "Wanting Freedom" has gained increasing influence, establishing a foothold among the show's fans with a loyal following and a stable fan base. Your fellow contestants are beginning to recognize your talent.]

[Daily feedback points increased; periodic feedback points: 3 points]

[Reward: 100 Entertainment Points!]

[Receive random rewards: Music Theory Knowledge +30; Screenwriting Knowledge +30]

Almost the instant the notification sound ended, Lin Mo felt a cool sensation in his mind.

Those previously vague melodic fragments suddenly became clear.

Like a dusty lens being polished, Lin Mo felt that he was about to enter another period of creative explosion.

Moreover, he can now sit down and discuss music with veteran music producers like Yuan Weiren.

What's even more amazing is his knowledge of screenwriting.

Previously, he only had a vague concept of script structure, character arcs, and plot pacing, but now the classic three-act structure, methods for establishing character motivations, and techniques for using subtext in dialogue naturally come to mind...

"Interesting," Lin Mo muttered to himself.

He's really good at writing screenplays now.

Just as I was experiencing these changes, my phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Chai Zhiping.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and answered the phone.

"Sister Chai."

"Lin Mo, are you busy?" Chai Zhiping's voice was tinged with laughter.

"I watched the latest episode; the performance was fantastic."

"The song 'Want to Be Free' is well-written, well-sung, and even better spoken."

"Sister Chai, you flatter me."

"Hehe, I wasn't just being polite with you." Chai Zhiping's tone became more serious.

"I rarely misjudge people. Your current popularity and level of discussion have already surpassed many newcomers who have debuted for only one or two years."

She paused briefly, then got to the point:

"How's your decision regarding the contract? HIM International Music should have contacted you by now, right?"
