Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Chapter 124 What are you babbling about?

the other side.

Guo Biting ultimately didn't get to hear "Special Person" on TV right away.

It was already 10 p.m. when she and Lin Mo finished.

She was currently lying on Lin Mo's chest watching a replay.

"This song is beautiful, and I'm very happy to be the female lead in it."

If Guo Biting's actions in the attic were an attempt to leverage Lin Mo's influence to obtain more resources...

Now, she gradually noticed that something was different.

I think I've really fallen for it.

Even though the song "Special Person" is of high quality and is sure to be a hit, she wasn't that excited.

Only satisfaction.

She even felt that the song "Special Person" was written by Lin Mo for her, and that Lin Mo was singing it to her.

No further words were needed; her body and senses had already given her the answer.

They noticed that Lin Mo's spare phone was turned on again.

Guo Biting glanced at Lin Mo.

Mo Mo glanced at him slightly: "Han Geng."

Guo Biting was taken aback at first, then immediately understood.

Howling Red!

For some, this night was a sleepless one, a night intertwined with music and desire.

As the sun rises on a new day, news of Lin Mo's amazing performance in the semi-finals of "Super Star Avenue" once again sweeps through Chinese forums in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

"Lin Mo delivers another masterpiece in the semi-finals! 'A Special Person' moves countless netizens to tears!"

"Tao Zhe certified it! Lin Mo's half-day creation earned praise from the godfather of R&B; is his talent limitless?"

The lyrics of "Special Person" have sparked heated discussion: Is it a confession or a farewell?

However, it did not cause much of a stir on the mainland.

The reason is simple—in May 2007, the mainland's own talent show battlefield was also fiercely competitive, even more so and attracting widespread attention.

The national finals of "Super Boy" are in full swing, and the top ten have just been selected!

Su Xing, Wei Chen, Zhang Jie, Chen Chusheng.

The competition for the top eight contestants in "Go! Boys" has entered its most intense phase!

Li Yifeng, Jing Boran, Fu Xingbo, Zhang Chao...

It must be said that 2007 was indeed a peak year in the history of talent shows in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Many of the male stars who remained active in the entertainment industry for more than a decade afterward emerged from the talent show wave of that year.

In contrast.

A newcomer who performed exceptionally well in a talent show in Taiwan.

Even with exceptional talent, in 2007, when information dissemination was not so convenient and mainland China's entertainment content was extremely saturated, it was difficult to succeed.

year.

It is indeed quite difficult to attract widespread attention.

Even in 2020, with the mobile internet being extremely developed, few people on the mainland really knew Jiang Tao, the so-called top celebrity in Hong Kong.

Lin Mo has his own plans for entering the mainland market.

However, early this morning, he appeared in a film studio at another rental market in Taipei.

Today we're shooting the music video for "Unfortunately, If Only".

The original version of this song, My, is over twelve minutes long, comparable to a sophisticated short film.

It tells a love triangle story about regret, misunderstanding, and missed opportunities.

In the music video, JJ Lin plays "Number Nine," a person who has a crush on another, while Angelababy plays the female lead, and Chang Huai-Chiu plays Number Nine's friend, a scumbag.

So, in addition to casting Zhang Shaohan as the female lead, Lin Mo also invited Tank, who had just returned from treatment and recuperation in mainland China and was adjusting in Taipei, to make a cameo appearance.

After receiving treatment in mainland China for a period of time, Tank did not undergo surgery, but his overall recovery has been quite good.

Moreover, he was diagnosed early and did not give up on himself; he is still in good condition.

Although I definitely won't be able to participate in high-intensity work such as program recording or music production.

I'm just here for a short half-day, just to stretch my muscles.

Shooting music videos with a fixed location is actually quite simple.

It only took one morning to film almost all the scenes; all that's left is to edit them into a movie.

The female director who directed three music videos in the past three days is surnamed Lai and is a well-known music video director in the industry.

He is particularly skilled at shooting works with strong narrative and beautiful visuals.

Director Lai looked at Zhang Shaohan, who had just finished filming and was touching up her makeup on the monitor, and then at Lin Mo, who was chatting with Tank next to her. He couldn't help but click his tongue twice in his mind.

She's found this whole thing quite interesting these past few days.

The three rumored girlfriends of Lin Mo that have been the subject of much online discussion.

Fellow students Zeng Peici, rising model and actress Guo Biting, and pop star Zhang Shao.

In just three short days, he managed to get them all to film music videos!

Moreover, the three songs filmed are all different in style!

This is amazing! Director Lai has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he's seen people who know how to create hype, but he's never seen anyone who can "turn scandals into publicity" and "turn passivity into initiative" like this.

Despite being embroiled in scandals, he managed to turn it into a buzz and a catalyst for his new album!

"Tsk tsk, how does this young man's brain work?"

As Director Lai reviewed the footage, he thought to himself, "Once these three music videos are released, coupled with the popularity he gained from 'Super Star Avenue'—I really don't even dare to imagine how many copies of his album will sell."

Tank looks to be in really good shape today.

Although her illness required her to control her emotions and physical strength, she was in high spirits and always had a gentle smile on her face.

In comparison, Zhang Shaohan's performance in this film was not as enjoyable as her previous film, "Dear, That's Not Love".

The plot of this story is indeed more complicated.

But there weren't any intimate scenes!

Oh dear!

accurate!

So Zhang Shaohan was rather sullen during lunch.

Although she chose this restaurant, it's a VIP private restaurant with excellent privacy, and she's a black gold member of this restaurant.

There were only Lin Mo, Zhang Shaohan, and Tank in the private room.

Tank was very talkative and took the initiative to talk about his condition: "The doctor said that my condition was discovered relatively early, and it is now well controlled through medication and regular check-ups. Mindset is also very important; I am very optimistic now."

He smiled and said, "The hospital is also looking out for suitable opportunities—well, to donate resources. But this can't be rushed; it's all up to fate."

It's okay if I don't have any for now. As long as I get enough rest and don't overexert myself, I can live a normal life without any problems.

Lin Mo nodded and chatted with him, not asking too many questions about the details of his illness, but expressing more concern and support.

Zhang Shaohan listened quietly from the side, without saying much.

But when Tank described some early symptoms of heart discomfort, her hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

She suddenly remembered that she had been feeling her heart beat a little fast or her chest feel tight occasionally lately—but she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was because she was too tired from work or had emotional ups and downs.

Hearing Tank say this, she secretly made a mental note of it, planning to take some time to get a proper medical check-up once she was less busy.

Then, Lin Mo and Tank shifted their conversation to music.

"Actually, I've gained a lot of insights during this period of rest and recuperation."

Various melodies often pop into my head, and sometimes when my hands get itchy, I'll take some time to write them down.

"But I don't dare write too much. I'll listen to the doctor and focus on getting better first," Tank said.

Lin Mo agreed: "Health is the foundation of everything. It's always good to listen to the doctor. Once you've fully recovered, you'll have plenty of time to create."

"Yes." Tank smiled at Lin Mo, his tone full of praise, "Speaking of which, your recent performance has been amazing. I love all the songs you've written! And many of your ideas and techniques are very innovative. I feel like I've learned a lot from you."

"And I feel like you should have no problem winning the show." He said this with a hint of regret in his voice, "Originally, after you won the championship and signed with HIM International Music, we could have become fellow apprentices, what a pity."

"That's not necessarily true," Lin Mo said.

"Hmm?" Tank thought Lin Mo meant that he might not win the championship, so he didn't know what else to say.

When the conversation turned to music, Tank noticed Zhang Shaohan, who hadn't said much, and naturally steered the conversation: "Angela, I heard you're releasing a new album? When exactly?"

Zhang Shaohan looked up: "Yes, early July. The songs are all ready, and we'll start promoting them next week to coincide with the promotion of 'Romantic Princess'. Several songs on the album are theme songs from the TV series."

Tank smiled and nodded: "There must be a song in there that Lin Mo wrote for you, right?"

Zhang Shaohan nodded, blushing slightly. "This is my favorite song."

"Haha, I'll definitely listen to your album when it comes out!" Tank laughed heartily.

The meal was enjoyed in a fairly relaxed atmosphere.

Tank was still in the recovery period and needed plenty of rest, so he said goodbye and went home.

Lin Mo also stood up, ready to go back.

After three consecutive days of intense filming, plus recording a program on Thursday, even my iron body is starting to feel tired.

He's overworked.

But he saw that Zhang Shaohan was still sitting in her original seat and showed no intention of getting up.

"Aren't you leaving?" Lin Mo asked.

Zhang Shaohan: "I'm not full."

Lin Mo:

Isn't this your favorite restaurant?

You ate quite a bit too.

However, when Zhang Shaohan raised her head, her eyes stared straight at Lin Mo, with an indescribable emotion in her gaze.

Lin Mo understood.

It's the one who didn't eat enough.

He sat down again, leaning back slightly, his gaze falling on Zhang Shaohan across from him.

Zhang Shaohan's look for today's music video shoot leans towards a pure and innocent student style.

But when dining in private, she changed her dull top into a more comfortable short-sleeved shirt.

She wore a dark plaid mini skirt, the hem of which fell just to mid-thigh.

What's most eye-catching are the white over-the-knee stockings with delicate lace patterns on her legs, which wrap around her slender and straight calves, and a section of her fair skin is exposed between the top of the stockings and the hem of her skirt.

She was wearing a pair of black leather shoes, and she looked very sweet.

Lin Mo just stared at her without saying a word; the air in the private room was so quiet it felt somewhat oppressive.

Zhang Shaohan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her heart began to pound: Was he angry? Did he think she was being too forward? Or did he think she was being unreasonable?

In her panic, she started making small talk, trying to break the unsettling silence: "Um—I listened to your song 'Special Person' yesterday, it was really good."

"I—when I have my next concert, could you be my guest performer? You—"

As she was speaking incoherently, she suddenly noticed that the light in front of her was being blocked by a figure.

She looked up blankly and found that Lin Mo had stood up at some point and walked up to her, looking down at her.

His tall figure carried an invisible sense of oppression, completely enveloping her.

Lin Mo leaned forward slightly, placing one hand on the armrest of her chair and the other hand on her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

"What are you babbling about?"

The VIP restaurant is indeed extremely private; no matter what happens inside, not a single sound will leak out.

The waiters won't suddenly come in and disturb you.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Shaohan was carried by Lin Mo to the large, heavy mahogany dining table.

One of her white lace stockings had disappeared, and her plaid mini-skirt was slightly rolled up...

Have you ever watched cartoons?

"What cartoon?"

"The Calabash Brothers".

"Yes, I've seen it."

"What kind of kid do you think I am?"

"Big, big kid?"
