This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 20 - The Third Phase of Recording Begins

In the entertainment industry, even the most explosive news would soon pass.

The buzz about the Heavenly Queen lasted for two days, and by the third day, not many people were discussing her anymore.

In the public's eyes, Wu Mu had improved somewhat, but he was far from making a comeback with just one song.

Under these circumstances, the third episode of the program began filming.

It was the usual routine of the audience entering the studio.

The early audience members whispered among themselves.

"I wonder what song Wu Mu will sing this time, whether he can perform as well as last time."

"Ugh, I never thought I would actually look forward to Wu Mu's new songs before the last episode."

"His performance last time was really stunning; it still gives me goosebumps thinking about it."

"However, it's uncertain this time, last episode he clearly performed well because the song suited him. Didn't someone make a comparison on B Site? His singing technique has not changed at all compared to before, he broke his voice in the same places as he always did."

"Ha ha, his technique hasn't changed, but he really put a lot of emotion into singing the Heavenly Queen's songs, truly worthy of someone who could say, 'If you don't want me, I'll just die.'"

It was all about Wu Mu's performance—this new season's singer-songwriter, Wu Mu, was quickly becoming the absolute center of discussion.

The discussions about Mo Mo and He Jie couldn't compare to those about Wu Mu, the entering audience were mainly talking about Wu Mu.

Of course, in the earlier episodes, the discussions were all about when this scumbag, Wu Mu, would embarrass himself and be eliminated.

But since the last episode, the audience had become much more tolerant towards Wu Mu and had started to seriously discuss his songs.

The audience was very anticipatory, and Mo Mo among the contestants was also confident, "Wu Mu, Teacher, this time we'll definitely make the top three!"

Wu Mu looked at her curiously, "Mo Mo, Teacher, as a national Heavenly Queen, why aren't you aiming for first place but top three instead?"

Mo Mo paused, "Wu Mu, Teacher, why do you think I'm only aiming for the top three? Is it because I have too many anti-fans and am afraid of getting one-star ratings from over a hundred people?"

He Jie in the front row turned back and laughed, "Ha ha, lucky for us you're not popular, Wu Mu, or we would really feel the pressure."

The veteran, Zheng Qiang also chuckled, "If the competition goes on like this, even winning the championship wouldn't feel honorable. Maybe you should replace Wu Mu quickly, Mo Mo, so we can have a fair competition."

Mo Mo jokingly nodded, playing along, "Yes, we should replace Wu Mu, Teacher; how else can we win the championship? Once He Jie, Teacher, or you, Zheng Qiang, Teacher, are eliminated, I'll replace Wu Mu."

Wu Mu was quite nonchalant, "Replace me? That won't be so easy."

"Eh?"

That confidence?

The others looked surprised.

Mo Mo asked curiously, "Wu Mu, Teacher, do you still have a trump card hidden?"

Without being modest, Wu Mu replied, "Yes, I do."

What he was referring to was the song "Aesthetically Appeasing", using this song to compete wasn't sure to win, but it wouldn't be easy to get eliminated.

His attitude indeed piqued everyone's interest, all guessing what big move he was hiding or whether he was just bluffing, considering he was someone who had made fun of the audience twice on stage.

While everyone chatted and joked, the official recording of the program began.

It was the same process as before, Mo Mo went on stage to draw lots.

This time she wasn't unlucky to draw number one but got number five, and she was also several groups away from He Jie and Zheng Qiang.

It was a pretty good sequence.

The first ones to perform this time were Xu Zhiwen and his partner.

Xu Zhiwen hadn't made much noise since Wu Mu's performance last time.

After all, he trashed Wu Mu before the contest, calling Wu Mu a piece of shit, only for Wu Mu to outperform him and make it clear who the real piece of shit was.

He was smart enough to know he had lost face and didn't seek further attention, avoiding mockery.

Of course, not seeking attention didn't mean not ensuring he wouldn't be eliminated.

Being the first to perform, he presented a strong rhythm song with dance music elements.

Clearly, it was something his partner had carefully prepared.

Everyone knew that in a serious competition, songs with strong beats had an advantage.

Eventually, he scored a decent 683 points.

Although this score was much lower than the first time Xu Zhiwen went on stage.

But new song segments generally scored lower than old song segments, especially since he didn't write the song himself, but his partner did.

This segment was intended for partners to write songs for each other.

The score he received was already quite good.

After Xu Zhiwen stepped down, his partner and other contestants took turns to perform.

Honestly, everyone's scores this time were generally lower than in previous episodes.

After all, partners writing songs for each other often resulted in issues of capability and compatibility.

Strong singers like Zheng Qiang had partners who were ranked near the bottom.

He Jie was slightly better since he changed his partner last episode, but Zheng Qiang's partner was the second-to-last rank in the first episode.

It was only natural for there to be a gap when such contestants wrote the songs.

Thus, when all four groups of contestants had performed, the highest score was surprisingly achieved by a female singer who was not particularly famous.

She scored first with 757 points with a song that featured a Shaanbei singing style.

This trend of low scores continued until Mo Mo went on stage.

The audience beneath the stage perked up, eager to see the quality of the song Wu Mu had written for Mo Mo this time.

Although Wu Mu had blown everyone away more with his singing last time.

But the song "Heavenly Queen" itself was absolutely not bad.

It was at the pinnacle of a premium masterpiece, just half a step from being representative.

The Wu Mu who had written such a song, what kind of song would he write for Mo Mo this time?

Mo Mo went on stage, still humbly greeted and introduced herself, "Hello everyone, I am Mo Mo, bringing you 'Next Station Queen'."

Next Station Heavenly Queen?

Everyone immediately thought of Mu's Heavenly Queen from the last session.

Was it meant as a tribute?

Or was it referring to Mo Mo herself, claiming the title of Next Station Heavenly Queen?

Everyone was curious.

Of course, it wasn't a deliberate tribute.

The Heavenly Queen was the core element of this song.

Mu sat among the contestants, waiting for his partner Mo Mo to perform.

The song Next Station Heavenly Queen had many interpretations in a previous life, with different age groups having their own understanding of it.

But Mu felt the song's core was actually about a young girl stepping into her starry path and her boundless longing for life and love.

And this meaning fit Mo Mo's situation perfectly.

Despite Mo Mo's always poised and adept demeanor and her ability to maintain excellent relationships with everyone,

Mu could sense that she was fundamentally a quite innocent and simple girl.

She handled relationships within the circle adeptly not because of her own craftiness, but because she was strong in her capabilities and had a high status, which deterred people from causing her trouble.

Her anticipation of love was another aspect; despite having been in the industry for many years, Mo Mo had never been involved in any scandals or spoken much about her own views on love, showing little confidence even in songwriting about love last session.

It seemed as though she had little interest in romance.

But Mu thought the opposite.

She placed too much emphasis on it, with too lofty ideals about love, which set her standards very high.

In these aspects, Next Station Heavenly Queen perfectly aligned with the themes very personal to Mo Mo.

On stage, the light piano sound began to rise slowly.

Mo Mo looked at the audience below and at Mu among the contestants, a light smile on her face as she began to sing.

"Standing in front of the big circle."

"Taking a careful look at my path."

"Hoping the next station will be Heavenly Queen, of course."

...

A Cantonese song?

Everyone was amazed.

Cantonese songs hold memories of childhood for many, with countless classic songs from the 80s and 90s.

But with the decline of Hong Kong Entertainment, Cantonese songs had gradually lost their prominence.

In this new generation, there were hardly any Cantonese songs left.

Who would have thought Mu could still write Cantonese songs?

And the melody was quite catchy, too.

The audience immersed themselves in Mo Mo's melody.

It was clear Mo Mo had real talent; her singing skills were a true gift from above.

Her strength wasn't merely in having a beautiful voice or hitting high notes and doing impressive vocal runs.

Her strength was a holistic grasp of how to interpret a song.

She seemed to inherently understand the essence of any song and then interpret it almost perfectly.

Which notes needed emphasis, which notes needed to be soft, where to pause a moment for better effect, how to best convey the theme of the song—she seemed to grasp all of this without needing to think too deliberately.

Her strong interpretation, combined with a bit of her own personal connection to the song, naturally resulted in an exceptional performance.

Of course, it couldn't achieve the kind of effect Mu reached with his life-altering performance.

But just seeing the audience gently swaying with her melody was enough to feel their appreciation for the song.

When the song concluded, the audience clearly wanted more.

During the scoring stage, she unsurprisingly received the highest score.

812 points, slightly lower than her last session but still dominant among the contestants this time.

Mo Mo stepped off the stage, leaving the audience quite touched.

"Mu really has something special, such a pleasant melody."

"I was wondering if Mu was just a one-hit wonder last time, but he's impressive this session too."

"It seems he truly has a talent for songwriting, not just the melodies but the lyrics fit Little Mo so well."

"But I don't quite understand, why are these two songs of such high quality when his previous songs were just average?"

This was something many in the audience genuinely couldn't grasp.

Everyone was familiar with Mu's capabilities as just a pop singer-songwriter chasing trends.

How did it turn out that he delivered two masterpieces on the show?

Could it be that everyone was right about him having a profound love affair that transformed him?

Or were both songs purchased outside just for the show?

But who could write such songs and agree to sell the rights to them?

Plus, the show had thematic restrictions; Mu could at most buy a melody, the lyrics most likely had to be his own creation. Could he really write lyrics of that caliber?

The audience couldn't make sense of it.

After Mo Mo finished scoring, it was Mu's turn to perform.

Everyone was quite anticipating it, curious how Mo Mo's song combined with Mu's singing style from last session would turn out.

It wasn't expected to mirror the last session's live impact completely, but achieving a fraction of it would be impressive enough.
