Chapter 73: The Heatwave Before the Grand Ceremony!
Chapter 73: The Heatwave Before the Grand Ceremony!
The final match is getting closer and closer.
Li Mo has been extremely busy lately, constantly working with Harlem on the competition repertoire.
There are also songs that he sings solo. During this period, instant noodles have become a regular part of his diet.
Seeing this, Dilraba couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Mo and even considered taking a few days to spend with him.
But Li Mo rejected them all, saying that these problems were not worth mentioning.
Reba no longer clung to Li Mo like before, but instead told Li Mo to focus on his work and reply to her when he had time.
However, in the two days leading up to the recording, Li Mo found himself with some free time.
All the rehearsals have been done, and the accompaniment for the competition piece has been prepared and sent to the production team. So, Li Mo can relax and rest in the hotel for the next two days to get back into shape.
Since the first season of "The Voice of China" was launched, there have been many similar variety shows in China, but in terms of viewership and influence, the second season of "The Voice of China" still far surpasses it.
After all, the show "The Voice" is still the top choice for most people when it comes to this.
On the contrary, the worse other programs are produced, the higher everyone's expectations for "The Voice of China" become.
Moreover, thanks to Li Mo's existence, the niche folk music scene has attracted increasing attention.
Boys from various universities started imitating him, all wanting to be like Li Mo, playing a folk song on a guitar to attract girls' attention.
Putting everything else aside, the guitar shop owner actually quite likes this to happen.
Some even had "GG" stickers with the slogan "Do you want to be like him?" and the picture was a very blurry stage photo.
But everyone can tell at a glance that this is Li Mo!
But aside from these predictable results, it's worth mentioning the difference in the ability of "The Voice of China" and "Singer" to create stars.
Take Li Mo for example. Throughout the entire competition, Li Mo's total screen time on "The Voice of China" was less than an hour.
After all, there are so many other contestants; he's not the only one singing on this show.
This also includes some behind-the-scenes footage, and this is even with Li Mo playing the entire match.
In contrast, the neighboring show "Singer" ensures that each guest gets at least ten minutes of screen time in each episode.
After all, there are only seven contestants in total.
There will definitely be enough camera shots; there's no need to share them with other people.
The difference between the two is that "The Voice of China" is destined to have a much stronger ability to create stars than "Singer".
Fortunately, "The Voice of China" produced Li Mo, and fortunately, every song of his received a huge response.
This is hard to imagine on a variety show. Many people are already doing well if they have one or two hit songs on a variety show, but he only has so many.
What's even more impressive is his creative ability; he fully unleashes his charm on the field.
Li Mo's Weibo followers have now exceeded 700 million, just one big step away from the 900 million mark for top-tier celebrities.
With less than an hour of footage, he managed to amass 700 million followers. Who else in the country can compare?
Even later actresses like Deng Ziqi and Dilraba, who rose to fame as the second female lead, couldn't compare.
The last person to achieve this was probably Xiao Shenyang in 09.
After all, he only took less than ten minutes…
However, to put it another way, Li Mo and Xiao Shenyang are not on the same track.
Moreover, the number of viewers for that year's Spring Festival Gala was something that "The Voice of China" couldn't possibly match.
The day before the final, Li Mo's GG magazine was also released.
Just as the company expected.
The order numbers and online popularity data are all quite good.
This has also sparked a minor discussion online.
Did you guys notice? These two girls look so alike! I almost thought they were the same person!
[Don't just say you thought so, I've thought it too! It's so similar!]
[I wouldn't even bother watching this kind of guy if he were normal, but I have no choice this time, there's just too little material about Li Mo, so I have to lick his boots too!]
That's not professional of you. Why don't you just buy a few more?
[Indeed, they need to be more active online; BLACKPINK fans are running out of new retweets!]
[Sisters, there's nothing I can do. Li Mo still needs to prepare for the competition and write new songs~ He must be under a lot of creative pressure lately, let's give him some time~ Waaah, I feel so sorry for Mo Mo~]
[A hardworking young man will surely achieve the results he desires. I've ordered the headphones, I've bought the magazine, let's go for the finals!]
Although it took them no more than two months from knowing Li Mo to understanding Li Mo to becoming fans of Li Mo.
He appeared in everyone's sight like a dazzling star.
But they still offered their most sincere love, which made Li Mo feel warm and touched.
To some extent, celebrities are products of being spoiled and arrogant.
But Li Mo didn't want to become that kind of person. His values were still relatively normal, and at least he wouldn't shamelessly treat them as lowly leeks to be harvested.
Hongkou Football Stadium.
As a professional secondary stadium, the production team specially converted it into a studio that can accommodate tens of thousands of viewers.
This competition is the most crucial and important one, and the production team attaches great importance to it.
Moreover, this season's show is very popular, and the production team hopes to break the ratings record in the final episode!
The renovation work started a long time ago, and a lot of money was spent on everything from the venue to the stage design and sound recording.
Li Mo arrived at the scene early to discuss the process and related matters with the production team.
Of course, it was mainly them who were talking, and Li Mo was listening.
After all, it's the finals, so everyone is taking it very seriously.
After understanding the situation, Li Mo went to meet with Harlin, and the two chatted for a while about their collaboration.
Harlem also shared some industry experience and rules with Li Mo, which is quite rare for him.
Harlin's statement wasn't old-fashioned; he genuinely wanted to share something with Li Mo.
He was very confident in Li Mo's future development, but he was afraid that the young man's success would cloud his judgment and waste such a promising talent.
On the way backstage in the production crew's car, Li Mo saw that a large number of fans had gathered around to show their support.
Everyone was holding up a light board and a notebook featuring Li Mo.
Actually, arriving so early was pointless; Li Mo was unlikely to go down to see them.
Although Li Mo wanted to go, the production team wouldn't allow it, otherwise it would be too easy to cause an accident.
After all, the number of people outside is not to be underestimated!
Although he already knew how exaggerated the support these fans had been for Li Mo recently.
Many fans spontaneously booked large screens in airports, subways, shopping malls, and plazas to project their support for Li Mo, such as the LED screens on office buildings near Hongkou.
But seeing this scene with my own eyes still made me feel very happy.
Moreover, judging from the current preliminary scale of support, even if the other three were bundled together, they would still be no match for Li Mo.
Li Mo is practically turning this finals into her own concert!
Fortunately, the production team had anticipated this and gave Li Mo detailed instructions. With the team's help, Li Mo safely entered the venue.
