Chapter 136: Just How Many Songs Does He Actually Have?

"Sunny Day," it is the sunny day after the rain has passed.

Within the content of this song, there are a great many descriptions regarding the wind and the rain.

And it is a torrential downpour at that.

It perfectly matches that saying: if youth is a torrential downpour, even if you catch a cold, you would still want to go back and get drenched in it once more.

After all, memories washed by the rain are always exceptionally clean, aren't they?

In fact, in the music video for this song, there is also rain falling in sheets. It even intersperses a segment not found in the song itself, where a young, cool-acting, and not-yet-bloated Zhou Jielun plays the cello in the heavy rain.

The entire stage performance freezes at this moment.

According to Luo Mo's personal suggestion, a small yellow flower under the sunlight finally appears on the stage's large screen, with water droplets from the heavy rain still clinging to the petals, refracting the brilliance of the sun.

It begins with the lyric "【The story's small yellow flower】" and ends with the sky clearing after the rain, with the flower under the sun.

The entire venue erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers; many audience members, if they were more sentimental, would feel that this song was like a key capable of opening a door to dusty memories.

The 30-member professional jury also sat in their private rooms applauding.

They would stand and applaud at the end of every song, whether out of politeness or sincerity.

A music critic who looked to be in his thirties spoke up directly: "This is the best of its kind I have heard in these past few years."

"My intuition tells me this song will be a huge hit," a female music critic said.

"Mm, it has the potential to be a campus classic," a Lyricist chimed in.

Among the 30-member professional jury, there were also composers, and quite a few of them—a full six.

Among them, two were quite famous.

At this moment, they looked at each other, feeling a sense of admiration that made them want to slap the table in praise.

A composer named Cheng Xi asked his friend beside him, "You are skilled in this genre; could you write a piece of this caliber?"

The friend shook his head directly, eyes widening as he said, "Why ask me? Can you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that this young man was truly a demonic blade.

Every time he released a song, he would strike from a very bizarre angle, refreshing the perceptions of composers like them.

Although many of his innovations were wildly imaginative, they were not impractical; on the contrary, the effect after they were released was explosive!

Just when you finally gained some insight and felt you had learned this bizarre blade technique, he would strike with a new one, a blade that left one at a loss for how to handle it!

And their intuition told them that this might only be the beginning.

Luo Mo insisted on singing while playing instruments for both episodes and insisted on not following the same path as his album "Red," so he would likely continue to bring constant, brilliant performances in terms of composition.

As for those few younger composers with less Seniority, they felt they hadn't come to participate in a show to give scores at all.

"We're just here to attend a class on-site!"

They inexplicably had this feeling.

Many young people have yet to fully form their creative styles, and their personal styles are not yet very distinct. If they are "bombarded" by Luo Mo here repeatedly, it will likely have a profound impact on their creative careers.

Backstage, General Director Ke Ming had a silly grin appear on his face again.

Just how much of a response this song would get would require the test of the market.

However, he knew very well that the variety show effect could be maximized.

During the last episode, Heavenly King Zhao had indeed commented on Luo Mo's music.

To accommodate Luo Mo, Ke Ming had originally thought about just deleting that sentence during editing.

He did not want to receive a 【relentless death-call】 from Ning Dan after the show aired, with her calling him non-stop and accusing him of not taking good care of Luo Mo.

But he did not plan to cut it now.

He could hear the discussion from the professional jury directly from the backstage area.

Undoubtedly, from a professional perspective, the composition of this "Sunny Day" was top-tier.

Whether it counts as textbook-level would require the passage of time.

However, with this song, the effect of including Heavenly King Zhao's comment would be immediate.

Ke Ming was not afraid of displeasing Zhao Xueqin, because Zhao Xueqin had grievances he could not voice.

"After all, when you said that to Luo Mo, you must have been desperately wanting me to edit it in; otherwise, why didn't you say it in private, but instead said it straight out in front of the camera and everyone else?"

"I am merely satisfying your Demand," Ke Ming thought to himself.

Recording a show is like this; you have to be responsible for the words you say. As long as we don't do "devilish editing" by splicing words into different scenes, we already have professional ethics and won't be in the wrong.

Directors who make variety shows are always the boldest, and everyone has watched variety shows and knows how daring they can be.

In the lounge, Sun Yi clenched his fists tightly.

Luo Mo had undoubtedly proven his strength once again, making him realize that his decision was absolutely correct!

He now only prayed that he could stay on this show, even if only for one more round.

Sun Yi was incredibly eager to leave behind a high-quality song on this stage.

On stage, Luo Mo, with his guitar on his back, bowed slightly to the audience before beginning to walk off the stage.

The host hurriedly went on stage to transition to the next contestant, and while waiting for an opportunity, thanked the sponsors again and teased Luo Mo: "I suppose when Luo Mo was in school, he must have received quite a bit of XX pure milk sent by girls."

As for the backstage corridor, the Singer preparing to go on stage was feeling a bit nervous.

The opponent was too strong, and their mindset was somewhat affected.

After Luo Mo returned to the lounge, he began to watch the performances of the other Singers in a very relaxed manner.

Soon it was Wei Ran's turn.

"Yo, Wei Ge is looking quite handsome today," Luo Mo said, looking at the screen and joking.

It's just that the little belly of middle age is getting hard to hide.

"No wonder Wei Ge's appetite is getting easier to bait, and his overall appetite is getting better and better," Luo Mo thought to himself.

As for Wei Ran's overall performance, it was always very stable.

"Wei Ge's Typhoon is beyond reproach." Luo Mo affirmed this extensively.

While he was performing, Wei Ran also kept "talking to himself" at the camera in the lounge, offering all sorts of praise.

Although there was a suspicion of mutual commercial flattery, the praise was still well-founded, making people feel it was indeed the case.

When it was Zhao Xueqin's turn to go on stage, Luo Mo just watched the Heavenly King sing intently, keeping silent the whole time.

"His handling of certain details and his ability to compensate are still very much worth learning from," Luo Mo said in his heart.

He was truly listening carefully; just now he discovered that Heavenly King Zhao might have missed a breath in one place, and the pitch might have gone slightly off, but he used his rich experience to perform a modulation, which not only didn't make the audience feel it was a mistake, but instead made it sound quite good.

After all, he is a Superstar Heavenly King who has held countless solo concerts.

After everyone finished singing, everyone had to get up and head to the large room.

The following time was reserved for the live audience and the professional jury to cast their votes.

After arriving at the large room, Wei Ran pulled Luo Mo to sit beside him.

In the previous episode, Luo Mo and Sun Yi both sat on the sides voluntarily because they had the least Seniority and were the youngest.

Wei Ran pulling him like this actually made Luo Mo sit in a relatively more inward position.

"This song is amazing, simple yet high-class!" Wei Ran praised.

These words fell into the ears of Heavenly King Zhao, causing him to glance at Luo Mo with a complex expression before quickly withdrawing his gaze.

Luo Mo's "Sunny Day", which directly sings the musical scale in the lyrics, was equivalent to a straight pitch for him.

After everyone was seated, it took about a few minutes before the General Director Ke Ming slowly arrived.

During the process of announcing the rankings, it was still that suspense-building mode; by the time the program airs, announcing the rankings will take at least ten minutes or so.

Wei Ran stood up multiple times, making a gesture to snatch the card in Ke Ming's hand; for him, it was too torturous.

He felt that this segment was targeting him.

Oh! And the song promotion segment afterwards!

Thinking that there would be a song promotion segment later, Wei Ge felt very conflicted.

He had a good relationship with Luo Mo and hoped he would take the top three and then promote his song.

However, every time Luo Mo promoted a song, he felt tortured again.

At this thought, he shifted his butt and sat a little further away from Luo Mo, wanting to keep his distance from this man who disgusted him.

Luo Mo looked at Wei Ge's actions, completely confused, and said in his heart: "Is he afraid of sitting too close to me and then Li Ge misunderstands?"

Ke Ming held the card and paved the way for a long time before saying: "Singer Sun Yi, congratulations, your ranking this round has risen by one place compared to the last, and you have obtained 20 points of 【Royal Power Score】!"

Luo Mo turned his head to look at Sun Yi and saw that he was so nervous his complexion had changed; only after hearing the ranking did he squeeze out a smile of someone who had survived a disaster.

Although he was still ranked low, the last-place Elimination only eliminates one person, so he was effectively able to stay.

The turning point of Sun Yi's fate, from this moment on, perhaps was about to begin.

Ke Ming kept announcing names, and in the end, only the rankings of Luo Mo, Wei Ran, and Zhao Xueqin remained unannounced; these three were the top three of this round.

The General Director's gaze kept wandering over the three of them, but he just wouldn't announce the rankings.

Wei Ran raised his fist directly, raised his eyebrows, and pointed his chin at Ke Ming.

Ke Ming pretended to be intimidated and announced: "Alright, the third place of this round is—Singer Wei Ran!"

Wei Ran stood up, thanked everyone for their applause, and after sitting down, gently patted Luo Mo's shoulder, giving him an encouraging look.

This mentor in "Creating Idols" had his ranking surpassed by his own trainee, yet he felt not the slightest bit of displeasure.

They had a good relationship and treated each other as peers in private; regarding this ranking, he was convinced in his own heart.

Wei Ran is an excellent singer-songwriter, and he knew very well how strong this "Sunny Day" was!

Since Wei Ran is third, then... isn't the program effect here!

One is a Heavenly King, the other is the future strongest Newcomer King.

One is a veteran senior who has debuted for many years, the other is a popular Newcomer who just debuted a few days ago.

Coupled with the fact that there are conflicts between them and conflicts between their companies, it was truly too watchable.

Ke Ming looked at the card in his hand, thanked the title sponsor again, and said loudly: "Then, the second place of this round's competition is—Singer Zhao Xueqin!"

"Congratulations to Zhao Xueqin, and also congratulations to the champion singer of this round—Luo Mo!" Ke Ming said loudly.

Upon hearing the ranking, Zhao Xueqin's expression stiffened slightly.

But a refined and gentle smile soon appeared on Heavenly King Zhao's face, and he even stood up to applaud Luo Mo, saying: "Great job!"

Luo Mo faced everyone's applause, stood up, and bowed slightly.

The theme of this episode was advantageous to him; after all, his looks and age were right there.

But regardless, this was a beautiful battle!

Slaughtering gods in the chart battle, and slaughtering gods in the live battle all the same!

The surrounding Singers cast shocked gazes; many thought that Zhao Xueqin would win all the way and was the predetermined winner of the 【King of Love Songs】 title.

However, this 24-year-old young man created a miracle.

It is conceivable that after this episode airs, it will trigger another major earthquake in the music scene!

Sun Yi sat in the very Corner, looking at Luo Mo with burning eyes.

He was very glad that he went to find Luo Mo before this round of competition to apply to join the studio.

Otherwise, the sincerity would be completely different, and the attitude would be completely different.

This young future boss of his, although his Seniority is very shallow, he has at least won against a Heavenly King, hasn't he?

And he has already won three times!

Working for him is nothing to be ashamed of!

After the rankings were announced, it was time for the song promotion segment that left Wei Ran in pain yet happy.

He could promote his own songs, which was happy. But he also had to endure Luo Mo's torture, and it was mental torture.

He felt that Luo Mo was subjecting him to mental abuse!

Wei Ran regretted it deeply: "Why must I have such great musical talent?"

In his view, if he didn't understand the craft and just thought it sounded good, he wouldn't be tortured like this.

"But I am just Too Understand!" Wei Ran cursed himself inwardly.

The more he could hear the brilliance of these medley songs, the more uncomfortable he felt all over.

Bad songs aren't worth listening to, but good songs are exceptionally tormenting!

Wei Ran said softly to Luo Mo: "You are in first place this time, you have 90 seconds of promotion time, sing each song a bit longer this time, OK?"

Luo Mo looked at him and smiled slightly: "No, I want to sing a few more."

Wei Ran's heart shook violently; he felt it was truly Killing the Heart!

——Are you messing with me!?

Luo Mo didn't know that he was killing two birds with one stone. If Wei Ran wasn't happy, he would call Li Ge to complain, and Li Ge wouldn't be able to be happy either.

The culprit, Luo Mo, had an Evil smile on his face.

90 seconds was enough for him to sing several songs.

After Wei Ran and Zhao Xueqin finished their song promotion, it was Luo Mo's turn.

Before promoting his songs, Luo Mo did the same as last time and advertised his own studio, saying with a chuckle: "Among the songs this time, there are actually quite a few suitable for female Singers."

Last time he sang songs by male Singers, but this time, as he continued to sing, there would be songs by female Singers like "Love You", "I Do", and "Cloudy Day".

Especially a song like "Cloudy Day"—one listen and you know it was written for a female Singer.

Presumably, the female Singers at Xinyu would go collectively crazy while watching this episode.

——Director Luo, I can!

Luo Mo walked to the Yueqi and finally sat down in front of the keyboard.

After playing a few notes at random, he began to sing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Ran's eyes lit up.

"The melody of this song is great! And it's very easy to spread," Wei Ran thought to himself.

He was right; this song did indeed spread far and wide.

Luo Mo was seen playing while singing:

"【I want to become the angel in the fairy tale,

The one you Love You,

Open my arms, and become wings to protect you!

You have to believe, believe that we will be like in the fairy tale story........】"

After finishing the classic "Fairy Tale", this medley of golden hits made a change at the last line of the chorus climax of "Fairy Tale", directly transitioning into that song "Love You".

"【Flying toward more places of happiness.】"

The 90 seconds flashed by, and Wei Ran felt like he was going crazy.

In a minute and a half, this young man sang a medley of seven songs!

"Are you trying to kill me!?" Wei Ran felt he couldn't hold it in anymore.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared; Sun Yi fell into ecstasy, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

Craving, he was craving these songs.

At the same time, the other Singers, including Zhao Xueqin, also fell into a state of silence.

These songs, even if taken out and listened to individually, were all top-tier works.

Just how many more songs does this musical genius have!?

In the song promotion segment of this variety show, exactly how many does he plan to sing?

Not to mention, his medley was quite clever.

General Director Ke Ming felt he was going crazy too; the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.

The song promotion segment was actually meant to deliver benefits to these popular Singers and their companies, but as it stood, the effect was incredible!

"I didn't expect it; this promotional segment, originally intended as a perk for the Singers, is Afraid to be a huge hit!"
