Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Chapter 107 The Great Demon King is still improving!

On the judges' panel, Zhang Yu, Zheng Jianguo, and Huang Yunling also showed thoughtful expressions, clearly unfamiliar with the song.

Only Yuan Weiren's eyes lit up, and his face showed excitement.

Zhang Yu asked him, "Little Fatty Teacher, do you know this song?"

The other judges also curiously gathered around.

Yuan Weiren nodded: "This is a song by mainland singer Hu Yanbin. You should have heard his song 'Red Face,' right?"

"Oh————" Zhang Yu nodded. The song "Red Beauty" has indeed been very popular in the past two years.

Yuan Weiren looked at Lin Mo on the stage, a hint of worry in his voice: "This song—is quite difficult to sing."

"Lin Mo's singing ability is indeed good, but this song cannot be sung well simply by having the ability."

On stage, Lin Mo was ready and gave an OK sign to the band members.

The band teacher nodded slightly.

Perhaps the only people who had a good idea of ​​Lin Mo beforehand were those who had rehearsed with him.

They really enjoyed the rehearsals.

Lin Mo's rendition of "Moonlight" was truly captivating and deeply moving.

Even though they were a seasoned backing band, it was the first time they had heard this unique singing style at a rehearsal, and they found it very novel.

The song was difficult, but they enjoyed playing it.

As soon as the melodious prelude of the guzheng and flute began, a purer and richer Chinese style, completely different from the popular adaptations, instantly spread out.

This gave many viewers who were initially unfamiliar with the show a boost of spirits.

The style seems a little different!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo's voice cut in: "[Moonlight, woman's fragrant tears, broken sword, how long is the love, how much pain, no words, I want to forget you————]"

The lyrics, delivered in a deliberate, three-word pause, combined with Lin Mo's clear vocals with a touch of R&B, immediately made Zhang Yu, one of the judges, recognize the talent.

"Wow, R&B with a Chinese twist, that's interesting," he whispered to Yuan Weiren beside him.

Yuan Weiren nodded slightly.

He frequently travels to the mainland and is fairly familiar with Hu Yanbin.

This young man is indeed very talented; he is one of the few young people in mainland China who can rival Jay Chou, Wang Jingwei, and Tao Lin in songwriting and singing.

but----

He glanced at the composed Lin Mo on the stage and added in his mind: Lin Mo will be the second one.

The mainland is producing talented people in every generation!

Lin Mo's performance in the first half of the song was excellent.

His pronunciation is clear, his breath control is stable, his voice has a high-quality feel, and he handles several beautiful transitions cleanly and crisply, making it very pleasant to listen to.

But the real challenge of this song comes later!

Yuan Weiren went to the mainland last month and happened to run into Hu Yanbin backstage at a festival.

Hu Yanbin himself laughed and said that he wasn't even sure he could perfectly recreate the song "Moonlight" live.

In Yuan Weiren's view, although Lin Mo has strong skills, his extremely complex and intricate vocal techniques require a lot of experience.

Lin Mo was still somewhat inexperienced in this regard.

And the second half of this song—

That's truly like a nine-turn intestine, turning one after another, testing not only the function, but also the ultimate control and sense of rhythm!

A lonely soul drifts with the wind; who will remember the devoted lover?

In this battlefield of mortals, amidst thousands of troops and horses, who can claim the title of king?

This dense series of vocal runs, smooth and fluid, instantly captivated many audience members, including the three guests from S.H.E., who found it incredibly enjoyable!

But this is actually just a delicate appetizer.

The truly breathtaking and challenging part is yet to come!

Finally, the song progresses to its core chorus: "[Who dares to brave the trials of love? Gazing at the bright moon, my heart is filled with sorrow. A thousand years of regret, the cycle of reincarnation. With eyes closed, who is the most reckless? The fickleness of this world means that those who dare to love are destined to be wounded for life—]"

As soon as the song begins, it seems to pull people back to that desolate era of neighing warhorses and chivalrous heroes.

The complex emotions of love and hate are fully released amidst the powerful soundtrack.

What gave the audience even more goosebumps was how this song was both so "convoluted" and so "smooth"?

The reason is that this short chorus contains dozens of complex major and minor vocal runs!

With the enhanced capabilities and exquisite control of the system after its upgrade, Lin Mo performed these vocal transitions with effortless grace, conveying both tenderness and powerful intensity.

Listeners felt enveloped by wave after wave of melodies, feeling both confused and thoroughly entertained!

The fans of Yang Zongwei, who initially had a critical eye, gradually lost their enthusiasm.

Although they didn't understand the technical aspects, they could tell that the song was very difficult!

Moreover, Lin Mo did a very good job!

The singing is real!

Your ears don't lie!

Lin Mo's fans, at this moment, had no time to "fight back"; they were completely immersed in the song: "It's so good! Brother Mo!"

"Is it just my imagination? It seems like Mo Ge's singing has improved again?"

"This is a mistake! This is terrifying!"

"Who is the original singer of this song? I definitely need to search for it and listen to it when I get back!"

On the judges' panel, Yuan Weiren stood there, mouth slightly agape, somewhat stunned.

He never expected that Lin Mo would not only dare to choose the song "Moonlight," but would actually—almost perfectly master it!

Those extremely difficult vocal transitions that he had originally worried Lin Mo would handle awkwardly or struggle with were all presented steadily by him!

And it has its own unique flavor!

Lin Mo, the undisputed "big boss" of "Super Star Avenue," has once again demonstrated astonishing evolution just when everyone thought he had reached the pinnacle!

Even without the support of original content, he is still very strong!

After the first chorus of the song is sung, the interlude begins.

Yang Chong Wei appeared expressionless, but inside he was in a panic.

what is this?

He was still striving to push the limits of emotional investment and pitch accuracy, but Lin Mo was already able to play more complex vocal techniques so skillfully.

Is this the difference in talent?

on the stage.

Lin Mo was not affected by others and was completely immersed in his own singing emotions.

Because what follows will be even more difficult.

As the second verse begins, although the lyrics repeat those of the first verse, Lin Mo's singing style suddenly changes!

Besides the still complex vocal transitions, the graininess of the smoky voice, the tearing quality of the crying tone, and the seamless, almost virtuosic switching between the true and falsetto voices —

He can effortlessly employ a variety of advanced techniques, layering them one after another!

What's even more terrifying is that, despite the high level of difficulty in the performance, Lin Mo's every breath, every pitch, and every emotional outburst was incredibly precise, without a single mistake!

After finishing the song, even with the powerful functions enhanced by the system, Lin Mo had beads of sweat on his forehead and his breathing became slightly rapid.

As the last note faded into the air with the lingering melody of the guzheng, he put down the microphone, a thought flashing through his mind:

When Ah Bin was young, he wrote songs without any sense of decency; he only learned the pain when he got older.

Even with my butt clenched, I can't sing high notes.

Actually, during rehearsals, there were one or two minor flaws in the final section where the extreme vocal transitions to high notes were performed.

But during the actual performance, he was inspired by the enthusiastic atmosphere and his focused state, and he performed beyond his usual level, overcoming all the difficulties in one fell swoop!

After a brief silence, the studio erupted in the loudest and longest applause and cheers of the evening! Many audience members spontaneously stood up!

On the judges' panel, Yuan Weiren, Zhang Yu, Huang Yunling, Zheng Jianguo, and even S.H.E. who were guests, all stood up and applauded!

Little Yang Chong Wei, take him down.

The host, Tao Zi, hurried onto the stage, her face beaming with undisguised excitement: "Thank you! Thank you, Lin Mo! What a wonderful performance!"

She turned to the judges' panel: "Teachers, please!"

Yuan Weiren was the first to pick up the microphone. He took a deep breath, as if he was still calming himself down: "Lin Mo... I was actually quite worried at first."

He shook his head, his face showing amazement and admiration. "I am very clear about the difficulty of this song, and I also know the original singer, Hu Yanbin. He personally told me that he himself was not confident in singing this song live."

"You dared to choose this in a competition, and you can still sing like this... I can only say I underestimated you!"

Zhang Yu took the microphone, smiling with a touch of emotion: "At first, I was wondering what song this was, but after listening to it, all I can say is, Lin Mo, your technique is truly superb! Every transition was flawless, it brought me to a climax! Amazing!"

On stage, Lin Mo felt that Zhang Yu, the experienced driver, was making suggestive remarks again, but he had no evidence.

As a female musician, Huang Yunling's comments focused more on the emotional aspect: "I had goosebumps the entire time, not because of the technique, but because you maintained such full emotion while performing such a difficult piece!"

"This is extremely rare!"

Finally, S.H.E., as special guests, also got the microphone. EIIa, with her outgoing personality, blurted out, "It's amazing! I was sitting down there and kept asking them, 'Can a human sing like that? How do they do those vibratos?'"

"Lin Mo, would you consider being a guest performer at our concert? We can help you with backing vocals... although we might not be able to keep up, haha!"

The judges' voting session ended quickly.

The result is no suspense.

Compared to Lin Mo's stunning performance, which was both technically brilliant and emotionally rich, Yang Zongwei's conventional performance of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" paled in comparison.

The final scores have been revealed: Lin Mo received a perfect score of 20 points from the judges, while Yang Zongwei received 16 points!

Lin Mosheng! He directly advanced to the top six of the Starlight Gang!

Yang Zongwei stood on the stage, listening to Tao Zi announce the results, and forced a smile before bowing to the camera and the audience.

But that smile was even uglier than a cry.

HIM International Music—are you trying to scam me?

His mind was buzzing.

The audience below the stage was in a frenzy of cheers. The pent-up emotions they had been holding back were now released in a cathartic manner, and the cheers almost lifted the ceiling of the studio.

Yang Zongwei's fan section remained silent.

A few people wanted to shout some words of encouragement or defense, but seeing their idol's dejected appearance on stage and the momentum of Lin Mo's fans on the other side, they swallowed their words and were left with only a face full of frustration.

If the leader isn't supportive, the fans can't even muster the courage to stand up for themselves.

Next, Pan Yuwen, Lu Xuerui, and Yang Zongwei from the losers' bracket will engage in a brutal competition for two spots in the top six.

Yang Zongwei seemed to be stunned by Lin Mo's attack or something else, appearing disoriented and out of sorts, and was unfortunately eliminated.

Even without the controversy surrounding the age alteration in Lin Mo's memory, Yang Zongwei still failed to advance beyond the top seven.

After the recording of the program ended, Wang Weizhong returned to his office from the monitoring area.

I had just sat down when the phone rang.

The caller was Mr. Wu, a senior executive at HIM International Music.

He answered the phone, and immediately Wu's voice, laced with suppressed anger, came through: "Weizhong, I don't care what methods you use, in the next round, we absolutely cannot let Lin Mo continue to advance without any obstacles! Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Weizhong rubbed his temples, his tone tinged with helplessness: "President Wu, I have completely followed your requirements and adjusted the competition format for this match, arranging Yang Zongwei as Lin Mo's opponent."

"He was the one you chose, and he couldn't defeat him. I did my best, but there was really nothing I could do."

HIM International Music's CEO, Mr. Wu, was speechless. He hadn't expected Lin Mo's singing skills to be so remarkable.

The professional musicians within the company analyzed it with great confidence—

Some say Lin Mo's skills are mediocre, relying entirely on his natural talent, just like Xiao Jingteng; after hearing that so many times, it all seems the same.

In the previous episode, Yang Zongwei defeated Xiao Jingteng by using skill to overcome his ability.

That's why they sought out Yang Zongwei.

They also hired online trolls to post on various forums and manipulate public opinion.

But the result?

Who would have thought that Lin Mo's singing skills were so terrifying!
