Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Jian Honglin and Chen Haowei exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their hands, pointing in one direction from the Superstars contestants' seating area.

The camera immediately followed.

The spotlight shone on—

On Lin Mo's body.

Then an even bigger uproar erupted from the audience!

"Lin Mo?!"

"It's like Mars colliding with Earth! They just picked the strongest one!"

"This is going to be interesting!"

"The Challenger King vs. the Main King!"

"..."

During the selection of the chief, Lin Youjia suddenly turned to look at Lin Mo and whispered, "Brother Mo!"

Yang Chong Wei's expression was priceless, revealing a look of anticipation for the show.

The other side consists of two people, a debut group, who are both excellent singers and dancers with rich stage experience.

Although Lin Mo is strong, it's dangerous for him to face two young idol groups in a one-on-one situation...

The happiest person was Liu Mingfeng, who was in the waiting area.

He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was ecstatic!

Hahahaha! Lin Mo! You've finally met your match!

He almost burst out laughing!

The frustration and anger from before quickly transformed into extreme schadenfreude.

Universal Music's idol group is challenging you, Lin Mo. What are you going to use to fight back?

They formed a group in 2005, trained in South Korea for more than two years, and debuted in April 2007 with a self-titled album!

A professional singer with actual practice time!

If you, Lin Mo, don't fail this time, I, Liu Mingfeng, will change my name backwards!

He even began to imagine what kind of embarrassed expression would appear on Lin Mo's perpetually calm and handsome face after he was crushed.

Wait, something's not right!

Liu Mingfeng suddenly realized that if Lin Mo lost, wouldn't he have to PK with Lin Mo again?

On stage, Tao Zi had a provocative expression:

"Are you sure you want to challenge Lin Mo?"

"Confirmed." Jian Honglin said confidently.

"We've heard Lin Mo's previous performances and greatly admire his talent. So we'd like to have a truly spectacular stage showdown with him."

Judging from their eloquent speech, they are indeed professionally trained.

But in fact, everyone present understood what he meant:

If you're going to fight, fight the most popular one; that'll be the best way to establish your authority!

The camera moves again, giving Lin Mo a close-up.

His face was expressionless; he simply stood up slowly and nodded slightly toward the stage.

He showed no fear and said nothing harsh.

It was surprisingly calm.

"Okay!" Tao Zi raised her voice.

"Alright, Style, please begin your performance! Lin Mo, please proceed to the preparation area!"

Lin Mo left the contestants' seats and walked to the preparation area on the other side of the stage.

As he passed through the passageway, his gaze swept towards the backstage area—

Zeng Peici was standing by the curtain, clenching her fists to cheer him on.

He slightly moved his lips, making the shape of the words "Go for it!"

Zeng Peici had never even heard of any debut idol group!

In her heart, Lin Mo was the most amazing!

It wasn't blind trust, but rather a strong belief in the song Lin Mo was about to sing!

She was deeply moved when she first heard Lin Mo sing this song in the recording studio that Jam Hsiao borrowed a few days ago.

By the time Lin Mo stood in the preparation area, the music had already started on the stage.

With dynamic electronic beats and dazzling lights, the two members of Style began to dance to the rhythm.

They were performing the title track from their new album.

It features a standard Korean dance style with neat and powerful choreography.

Although her breath control was slightly unstable during the live singing and dancing performance, her idol stage presence made up for everything.

The young audience members below the stage were excited and swayed to the rhythm.

On the judges' panel.

Yuan Weiren and Zheng Jianguo, who were both close to Lin Mo, frowned slightly.

This level of performance is virtually unbeatable for amateur contestants still in the competition.

Both of them have a distinct K-pop style and mature stage performances.

Even if Lin Mo has excellent singing skills, how can he face the stage tension and visual impact of two people on his own?

The three-minute performance ended.

The two ended their performance with a cool freeze-frame pose.

Sweat trickled down their jawlines, and the two were slightly out of breath, exuding idol-like charm.

You could feel it from the applause and cheers from the audience that almost lifted the roof off the stage—

In this era, the authority of the Korean Wave on the stage is indeed too strong!

Taozi went on stage with an excited expression:

"What a fantastic performance! This is the stage presence of a debut artist!"

"So, before we bring out Lin Mo, Hong Lin and Hao Wei, do you have anything to say to your opponents or the other members of the Starlight Gang who are about to take the stage?"

Jian Honglin took the microphone, adjusted his breathing, and wore a confident smile:

"We trained in South Korea for two years and learned a lot of advanced music concepts and stage performance techniques."

He paused, then continued:

"There are indeed many things we can learn from South Korea's music industry, such as stage choreography, visual design, and idol training systems..."

These are all things that the Chinese music scene needs to catch up on.

Chen Haowei added:

"We hope that through today's performance, everyone can see a more diverse range of musical styles."

The Chinese music scene cannot remain confined to love songs and folk ballads; it should embrace more international trends.

The two men's words, befitting "veterans of the music industry," elicited various reactions from the audience in the studio.

On the judges' panel, Shi Rencheng, Yuan Weiren, and Xiao Chong all frowned slightly.

They acknowledge the sophistication of the South Korean music industry, but as Chinese-language musicians, they felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing two Chinese people praising the Korean Wave on their own turf.

But it's not easy to directly refute it.

After all... what they said was true.

Huang Licheng and his stylist Zheng Jianguo, on the other hand, remained calm.

The former, who had returned from the United States, was open to cultural exchange.

Zheng Jianguo's fashion styling industry is more influenced by South Korea, and he himself often goes to Seoul to learn, so he doesn't feel there's any problem.

The host, Tao Zi, also keenly sensed the change in atmosphere and immediately took control of the situation:

"Okay, thank you both for sharing! So, next..."

She turned towards the preparation area:

"Please welcome Lin Mo!"

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Mo stepped onto the stage.

Her attire remained simple and clean, but her aura was completely different from when she was sitting in the contestant's seat.

He walked steadily to Taozi's side and stood still.

"Lin Mo," Tao Zi handed him the microphone.

"As the one being challenged, what would you like to say to these two seniors?"

All eyes were once again on the room.

Liu Mingfeng watched Lin Mo take the microphone from the waiting area below the stage, his eyes full of sarcasm.

He couldn't wait to see Lin Mo put on a brave face and say some polite words before he was defeated.

The two from Style also wore professional smiles, waiting for Lin Mo's "polite response".

Lin Mo did not look at the two of them.

My gaze swept over the contestants' area, the judges' area, and the audience area of ​​the Super Idol contestants.

Finally, the 22-year-old man looked at the camera with a relaxed smile on his face.

But what he said next brought the scene to a climax!

"Don't let the Korean wave get too rampant."

He paused, then spoke each word with resounding emphasis:

"Chinese pop culture is the best."
