EFB Chapter 45: I didn't know, he stabbed me right away.
Chapter 45: I didn't know, he stabbed me right away.
After Li Mo secured his place in the university through the guaranteed admission program, the other three had to compete for it again.
In the eyes of the three of them, this was a normal match.
As for Li Mo? He's purely a meta character, completely ineffective!
After the first round of voting, Ge Hong was the first to leave the stage, which was to be expected.
Of the four, besides Li Mo and Jin Runji, Su Mengmei is a girl, and only Ge Hong is the least distinctive.
She has an average appearance and an average singing voice; she doesn't have any particularly outstanding qualities.
Distinctive features are precisely the qualities that variety shows value most; without distinctive features, viewers won't remember you.
If they don't remember you, you lose your commercial value, and without commercial value, giving you an opportunity is a waste of that opportunity.
So, if you don't leave, who will?
Subsequently, Jin Runji and Su Mengmei began a new round of competition.
In this round, Jin Runji chose "Whose Tears Are Flying," a song released in 1993.
The original song was a ballad, sung by Meng Tingwei, and featured her signature rock style with powerful high notes.
Everyone had long anticipated his unchanging musical style.
However, it was good enough; his unique voice instantly captivated the audience, and the mentors also really liked his voice.
Ultimately, he defeated Su Mengmei by a large margin and advanced to the final showdown, where he will face Li Mo.
Oh no, time to challenge the boss...
Jin Runji is also aware of his monotonous musical style, and that it will be useless if he doesn't come up with new tricks.
I need to prepare some new tricks.
So he deliberately kept a large one to deal with Li Mo.
Recording was paused for one hour.
The contestants and mentors need to recover their physical strength, and Wang Feng's team, who are about to take the stage, also needs to be coordinated.
Li Mo returned to the lounge and closed his eyes to ponder.
Before coming here, the production team actually required everyone to prepare for three performances, but Li Mo only had two songs.
Originally, he wanted to quickly secure Meng Ziyi's payment to replenish his music library.
Unfortunately, Meng Ziyi's request was never fulfilled, and Li Mo could probably guess why.
Why is most youth literature a painful kind of literature?
How can you have a profound experience without getting hurt?
How can something be considered spectacular if it's not unforgettable?
That's why her request has been stuck until now.
"I will make it up to you," Li Mo murmured, then added, "after this."
Because he hadn't fulfilled the commission, Li Mo was forced to find a non-original folk song to fill in the gaps.
However, putting everything else aside, although it wasn't an original song, Li Mo's highly expressive voice still left a good impression on the audience.
This also includes the previous round of "Mercury," which was strong enough in this kind of competition, allowing Li Mo to luckily advance to the final showdown.
This is why he didn't go back on what he said in the previous episode.
Currently, he only has one original song, "Aohan," which is by the same author as "Nanshan Nan."
Li Mo has never sung a song suitable for marriage before, but this one just happens to be perfect, and her fans should really like it.
Anyway, whether it works or not, it's the only option left.
Next door, Wang Feng was rehearsing with four contestants, and their rendition of "Let's Rock Together" was quite captivating.
Li Mo has a very complex feeling about Wang Feng's songs, which is why he didn't choose Wang Feng's songs at first.
It sounds good at first, but it gets a bit monotonous after a while. After going out to look around, I found that there are no meal replacements available.
I can only listen to it again, and then it feels monotonous...
It goes on and on, endlessly.
But putting music aside, Mr. Wang is quite an interesting person.
It is said that Mr. Wang was recently rumored to be having an affair with Zhang Ziyi. The complexity of his romantic history is enough to prove that Mr. Wang is quite capable.
Putting everything else aside, at least his emotional intelligence is sufficient!
Aside from these trivial matters, Li Mo also used his phone to communicate with his team about the upcoming itinerary.
With "The Voice of China" coming to an end soon, he is paying close attention to the resources he has connected with, taking advantage of this surge in viewership.
This directly determines what path he should take after his time on "The Voice of China".
Unfortunately, the answer was not ideal.
There are plenty of resources. At this stage, the Chinese entertainment industry is booming with music and dance, so resources are not lacking.
Unfortunately, there are almost none that match Li Mo's current popularity level and the future development direction planned by the team for Li Mo.
There are a few that are worth discussing.
"The Lady and the Thief" is a Republican-era love story starring Liu Kaiwei and Tang Yan.
If Li Mo were to take over, he would be playing the role previously held by Yang Youning.
However, after looking at the script, Li Mo thought, "Ugh, it's like a melodramatic soap opera."
This drama features a mix of elements: a wealthy family's identities are swapped, a gangster boss relentlessly pursues his wife, and a gentle young man's unrequited love.
The ratings wouldn't be low, but Li Mo still shook his head.
An actor's performance boils down to three things:
Firstly, they were confident that the show would be a hit, and they wanted to elevate their status.
Second, make money.
Thirdly, it's for personal connections and networking.
Just like the play by the national teacher, whether it becomes popular or not is not important, but whether you go or not is very important.
But this film... has a lot of money, but its release date clashes with that of "The Continent".
So, I'm sorry, please don't try to extort me. I'm afraid Han Han will misunderstand.
The remaining one is "Song in the Clouds," which stars Angelababy.
Produced by Yu Yatou Studio, it's worth mentioning that Yang Rong also stars in this drama.
What does it mean?
There's also "Ban Shu Legend," a sister series to "Lu Zhen Legend," starring Jing Tian and Zhang Wei, a married couple.
If I had to choose one from these, it would probably be this one.
In a conversation with Dilraba a couple of days ago, it was revealed that her next project is this drama.
She played a minor supporting role as a "Loulan Princess," but if Li Mo were to actually go, the two of them would be on completely different levels.
"It's hot, aren't you? Shine my shoes!"
Just as Li Mo was pondering.
"Ding~"
My phone beeped with a message notification. I opened it and saw a pouty selfie sent by Meng Ziyi.
"I'm here!"
During the break from filming, the audience members weren't idle either; the production team arranged some warm-up segments to help everyone pass the time.
However, Meng Ziyi wasn't interested in any of that; she was only focused on how Li Mo fared in his upcoming matches.
She had heard Li Mo sing the last song.
But she really had no idea what to do with the next song. As Li Mo's muse, she was very responsible.
"If only we had more time, Li Mo and I could do more things together, and that would give him even more inspiration!"
Meng Ziyi lowered his head and thought, partly lamenting that the time was too short and there wasn't enough time to give Li Mo more inspiration.
On the other hand, I still miss the days I spent at Disneyland. If only life were full of surprises!
Just then, Mai Ye's pitiful appearance caught the attention of a male audience member in the row behind her.
If Mencius had come with friends, he might have given up.
Seeing that Meng Ziyi was always alone and looked lonely, he mustered up his courage.
Encouraged by his companions, he mustered his courage and stepped forward, gently tapping on Meng Ziyi's chair.
Meng Ziyi felt the vibration from the chair, turned around, and saw a strange man.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Meng Ziyi asked a question very politely.
"Hello, beautiful, are you alone?"
Meng Ziyi nodded, still not understanding why this person wanted to see her.
"I came with my friend. Aren't you bored by yourself? Why don't you move to another seat and chat with us?"
Meng Ziyi shook her head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."
She thought the matter was over, but to her surprise, the man was still persistent and took another step closer.
"That's not what I meant. Can't I just be friends?"
Seeing that the man was being a bit unreasonable, Meng Ziyi wasn't jealous. Don't be fooled by her docile demeanor in front of Li Mo.
But deep down, she still inherited Sister Qian's fierce side; otherwise, she wouldn't have subconsciously retorted to Guo Qilin's teasing on the show.
"Don't spout any more nonsense."
Keep in mind that she wasn't famous back then.
"Making friends is fine, but the premise is that we support the same people, right? Li Mo or Jin Runji later, who do you support?"
The man was taken aback, not expecting such a question, and instinctively answered:
"Jin Runji, he sings with great energy."
"I'm sorry, I like Li Mo," Meng Ziyi said politely as she refused again.
"Ah, actually I like Li Mo too." The man still tried to struggle.
Mencius, no longer beating around the bush, coldly retorted, "You are not worthy!"
She turned away and ignored him. She was always straightforward, and perhaps this man had succeeded in nagging others before.
But according to Mencius, this method would only result in a security guard being called in and asking him to leave.
Recording resumed quickly, and the previously laid-back audience once again threw themselves into the competition with renewed enthusiasm.
This time, Jin Runji went first, and he indeed gave Li Mo a huge dumping ground.
Abandoning its previous distinctive style and high-energy performance, it instead sang "Encounter".
The audience members present expressed their incomprehension.
"This song...has it been ruined?"
"Showing off your skills isn't this flashy. Why not just sing songs that suit you?"
"Does he know he can't win, and he's just putting on a show to get by?"
Not only did the audience not understand this, but even the mentors, the media judges, and Li Mo themselves were not quite convinced.
"No, I didn't transfer any money. What's going on?" Li Mo muttered to himself.
If two armies are facing off, what does it mean if you stab yourself in the face of danger?
Yingzi's assessment of him was: nervous, resulting in poor performance.
Wang Feng went even further: to put it bluntly, it's an overcorrection that has lost the soul of the song.
In the end, only Harlem Yu and A-mei praised his boldness from a musical perspective.
No matter what, there's always somewhere to praise it.
Jin Runji's face turned extremely pale. He lowered his head, forced a thank you, and then said nothing more.
Among the audience, Jin Runji's fans were very disappointed, but Meng Ziyi was the happiest, silently shouting in her heart: nice!
Following Hua Shao's transition, Li Mo officially took the stage.
