Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Wang Weizhong pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Normally, when faced with such "disobedient" players, the investors would try to give them a warning.

But Lin Mo is currently the most popular contestant on the show, almost in a league of his own.

Moreover, Ge Fuhong had also given instructions that things shouldn't escalate to a confrontation.

"Record as normal." Wang Weizhong finally decided.

"Give them the camera when they deserve it, give them the topics when they deserve them, but..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes:

"After this round of elimination matches, we'll start the [Great Demon King Challenge] early to give Lin Mo and the other contestants a bit more challenges."

"The Great Demon King is challenging us?" Yuan Weiren's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea."

The "Big Boss Challenge" in "Super Star Avenue" is one of the highlights of the show.

The show will invite established singers or those with considerable talent from the public to serve as "challengers" to challenge the outstanding contestants on the show.

This competition format not only increases the excitement and watchability of the show, but also puts pressure on the contestants' abilities.

The show was originally scheduled to start two more episodes later.

Now, because of Lin Mo, it's happened ahead of schedule.

......

......

Two days later, in mid-April.

The temperature in Taipei is gradually warming up, and there is already a hint of early summer in the air.

The recording of the latest episode of "Super Star Avenue" has begun.

Lin Mo was indeed somewhat surprised that Angie Chai agreed so readily to set up a studio with him.

He originally thought it would take several rounds of grinding.

I didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.

However, he imagined that Ge Fuhong must have analyzed the pros and cons for her.

This "godmother of variety shows" has a vision that is indeed broader than that of the average person.

In Lin Mo's memory, Chai Zhiping's later situation was not very good.

When my daughter got married, none of the F4 members who I had personally made famous attended.

At least Barbie Hsu asked Wang Xiaofei to attend.

However, none of the people she brought up later, such as Wang Dalu, Ke Zhendong, and Chen Yanxi, appeared.

The biggest name is still our old acquaintance, Harlem Yu Chengqing.

But this is all for later.

At least for now, Angie Chai is still the "godmother of idol dramas" who is full of vigor and resources.

Chai Zhiping asked Lin Mo to keep the establishment of the studio a secret.

Actually, Lin Mo already knew this without her reminding him.

Important things should be done quietly.

He didn't even tell Zeng Peici.

As for the senior management at HIM International Music, including Wang Weizhong and Yuan Weiren, no more than five people knew about this.

If the contestants knew this, how could they compete?

Regardless of your skill level, we'll just award you the championship directly.

You, Lin Mo, are royalty!

Is that enough?

So everything proceeded as usual during the official recording of the program.

The only difference was that the recording time was moved up to the morning—the production team informed us that we would be recording all day.

Backstage, the fourteen contestants gathered.

Host Tao Zi walked onto the stage with a bright smile:

"Welcome to the 14-to-12 elimination round of 'Super Star Avenue', fellow contestants!"

"Today's competition format is very special—it's a designated competition for artist duets!"

A burst of excited whispers rippled through the contestants.

"These are the rules," Taozi continued to explain.

"We have seven guests present."

"Each guest will be paired with two contestants to sing one of the guest's classic songs together."

"The judges will score the choir's performance, and the two contestants with the lowest scores... will be eliminated!"

"Today, we will select the top twelve finalists for this year's Super Idol Star Actor contest!"

The contestants looked at each other in bewilderment.

This competition format is very interesting. It not only depends on your own strength, but also on which guest you are drawn and how well you cooperate with the guest.

"Now, let's welcome our seven guests for today!" Tao Zi announced loudly.

Seven guests walked out one after another from one side of the stage.

Yuan Weiren, Huang Dawei, Wan Fang, Xiao Chong, Huang Yunling, Xu Yiqing...

Lin Mo definitely knows some of these people, such as Yuan Weiren, Huang Dawei, and Huang Yunling.

Some people are genuinely unfamiliar to me.

Until the last one...

"Tank! Lü Jianzhong!"

The contestants immediately burst into a rustling sound.

Tank! debuted in 05 with the soundtrack of "KO One", and his song "Give Me Your Love" became a hit everywhere!

In 06, she released her first solo album, "The Way of Survival," in which the Chinese-style songs "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Tears of a Thousand Years" became her representative works.

Released at the beginning of this year, his second album "Extended Game" and songs "Exclusive Angel" and "Only You" were popular hits due to their connection with two popular idol dramas. The album sold very well, making him one of the most popular singer-songwriters among young people today.

Although the other guests are also veterans in the music industry, their popularity among young audiences is indeed not as high as Tank's.

Many contestants' eyes lit up.

If I can draw Tank, it doesn't matter if everyone else gets eliminated!

With topics that generate buzz, popularity, and familiar songs, it's easier to evoke emotional resonance in the audience.

"Next, the drawing of lots will begin!" Taozi announced.

A staff member brought over a lottery box containing fourteen small balls, with each guest's name appearing twice.

The contestants drew lots in turn.

"Yang Zongwei – Teacher Huang Yunling!"

"Lin Youjia – Teacher Huang Dawei!"

"Liu Mingfeng—Teacher Xiaochong!"

"Lu Xue-rui—Professor Yuan Wei-ren!"

......

One by one, the names were read out.

When it was Lin Mo's turn, he reached into a box, took out a small ball, and handed it to Tao Zi.

Tao Zi opened the small ball and took out a piece of paper:

"Lin Mo—Tank! Teacher Lü Jianzhong!"

The scene erupted in uproar.

As the contestant with the highest popularity among all the contestants, he was drawn as the most popular guest!

Several contestants couldn't help but cast envious and jealous glances at him.

That's incredibly lucky!

Wang Weizhong was also somewhat surprised in front of the monitor.

The drawing of lots was indeed random, and he personally supervised it.

But Lin Mo's luck... is truly unbelievable.

But then he thought about it again and started to look forward to it.

What kind of sparks will fly when Lin Mo and Tank, two singer-songwriters, collide?

In this way, at least the show's ratings are guaranteed.

In Wang Weizhong's mind, the ratings of "Super Star Avenue" always ranked first.

If the first edition gets off to a good start and produces impressive data...

When the second and third seasons are launched, it will be much easier to negotiate various GG investments, title sponsorships, and so on.

Lin Mo felt that he was quite lucky after drawing his lot.

The main problem is that, apart from Tank, he wasn't very familiar with the songs of the other guests.

Wan Fang's representative work is "New Endless Love", Huang Dawei's is "You Got Me Drunk", and Yuan Weiren is only known for "Carousel" which he wrote for Faye Wong.

The rest was completely unknown.

Praise your luck!

After the draw, it was time for the contestants and guests to rehearse.

Lin Mo and a girl named Li Xuanrong drew Tank.

The two were led by staff to a private rehearsal room, where Tank was already waiting.

Upon seeing the two, he was very friendly and humble, welcoming them both.

Ladies first, he greeted Li Xuanrong first, and then Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, Da Dong and I are good friends. He's told me about you."

Tank's words made Li Xuanrong cast an envious glance at Lin Mo.

Tsk, they're all players, but has Lin Mo's network reached the level of Tank?

However, it's no secret that Lin Mo was chosen by Angie Chai to make a cameo appearance in the film.

Many of them are known to them.

But Lin Mo's next words left Li Xuanrong speechless with surprise.

"Ms. Lü, do you have a habit of having regular physical examinations?"
