Chapter 149: Be Conservative, This Song Is Almost Invincible

~17 min read 3,233 words

At home, Chen Shanqi, wearing silk pajamas, sat on a high stool in front of a table, her entire body leaning slightly forward, creating a charming curve along her back and hips.

With the forward movement of her body, a portion of her hips lifted slightly off the back of the chair, stretching her skin-tight silk pajama pants until they were taut.

This woman, who was always eating salad whenever she appeared, was once again eating salad with great self-discipline.

At the same time, she loved fitness, had an abdominal line, and possessed what she was most proud of—a peach-shaped butt.

Many excellent Actors, after receiving a script, develop a profound awareness and understanding of their character. If you cannot even read and understand the character, how can you bring them to life?

Sometimes, this principle can also be applied to a Singer.

A Singer must analyze the lyrics and music to a certain degree, and only then can they accurately grasp the emotions during the performance.

Of course, this aspect of the work is often the responsibility of the producer.

But Luo Mo, this producer, is currently busy, so Chen Shanqi needs to figure it out for herself first.

Intuition told her that as long as she could perform this song to the extreme on the stage of the King of Love Songs, she would be able to get what she wished for and officially join the ranks of First-line Singers!

The exposure of a large-scale variety show is extremely high, and its ability to gain fans is also very strong. And this song, I Am Not Sad, is clearly a rare, good song that can broaden her current audience.

"I must make it my signature work!" Chen Shanqi secretly made up her mind.

On the other side, Luo Mo and Sun Yi had already boarded the nanny van heading to Hangzhou.

Accompanying them were Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo.

This nanny van was a seven-seater; Luo Mo and Sun Yi sat in the front, while the two women sat in the back.

Luo Mo turned his head to look at them and said, "Speaking of which, you can't accompany me to record every episode, right? Are your Aurora Girls doing so poorly lately that you have no work?"

"Yeah, yeah, so we have to rely on you, Director Luo, to save us six little ladies," Shen Yinuo said affectedly.

You've developed into that, and you're still a little lady? Ridiculous!

"I definitely won't break my promise about the songs I promised you, so there's no need to stare at me like this. I keep feeling like you'll lock me in a dark room at any moment and won't give me food until I write the songs," Luo Mo said with a yawn.

Writing songs was not time-consuming for him.

It was mainly that he didn't want to give the songs to Aurora Girls too early.

In his view, Chen Shanqi was experienced and could figure it out and experience it herself; she might even bring him a Surprise.

As for Aurora Girls, forget it; he was afraid they would figure out some crooked ways and end up going down the wrong path.

If they started off wrong, it would be a bit tiring to try and drag all six of them back together.

One man and six women—just thinking about it was exhausting.

Therefore, he felt it was better to teach them from the very beginning.

Shen Yinuo looked at Luo Mo and said, "We wouldn't kidnap you. Being kidnapped by six beautiful girls—you'd be too lucky!"

Luo Mo thought about it; the six members of Aurora Girls indeed each had their own unique characteristics.

Six girls, each with their own unique characteristics, could indeed make a man become unique.

Jiang Ningxi listened to the conversation between Luo Mo and Shen Yinuo, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Back when they were in school, she was the one tutoring Luo Mo.

Now it was Luo Mo's turn to tutor her.

Tit for tat.

It's just that the tuition for tutoring back then was milk tea, falling in love, and a first kiss, but now... Jiang Ningxi didn't dare to think too deeply.

Everyone was an adult now; the pure, innocent ways of childhood were no longer in fashion.

Luo Mo turned his head to look at the two women and said with a serious face, "Don't be so expectant now, thinking the future is all wonderful. I'm warning you, don't end up crying from being trained."

A girl group's song also requires choreography.

This is far more tiring and torturous than simply recording a song.

"Pfft, it's not like I haven't sung and danced with you before; I'm not afraid!" Shen Yinuo, who had collaborated with Luo Mo on The Wedding, said brazenly.

She felt that this wasn't her first time, and she could endure the roughness of Instructor Luo's training.

"I hope so," Luo Mo said casually.

Sun Yi sat to the side; although he wasn't sleeping, he kept his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep and acting like an invisible person.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I keep feeling like they've been flirting the whole way here," Sun Yi thought to himself.

He felt that his boss was very lucky with women, but this was also reasonable.

The year he became the Newcomer King, he was also infinitely glorious and had faced countless temptations.

It was just that those women were not on the same level as the two women in the car today.

The car soon arrived at the recording site in Hangzhou. Ke Ming was the same as always, welcoming Luo Mo at the entrance early on with a friendly attitude.

After seeing the four people get out of the car, Ke Ming took a deep look at Luo Mo and Sun Yi.

He didn't know at first that Sun Yi would sign with Luo Mo Studio; such things wouldn't be announced publicly until they were set in stone.

But after Sun Yi successfully signed, he informed Ke Ming immediately.

This made Ke Ming feel a bit annoyed.

If he had known earlier that Sun Yi would sign under Luo Mo, he definitely wouldn't have gifted Xinyu a spot in the competition.

After all, with this, there were a total of seven Singers on the King of Love Songs, and three of them were from the same family—it was simply absurd!

In the entertainment industry, words spoken are not really like spilled water; there is nothing that cannot be undone.

But unfortunately, Chen Shanqi's side was very efficient, and the Contract was already signed...

Ke Ming knew very well that this might become a point that many people with ulterior motives would criticize the King of Love Songs for.

"Look at this show; those who don't know would think it was made specifically for Xinyu's Singers! They've almost occupied half the territory; they might as well just pre-determine the champion to be from Xinyu!"

Presumably, after the fourth episode airs, there will be storms on the internet again, and public opinion will need to be carefully controlled.

However, one sentence from Luo Mo made Ke Ming feel that everything was worth it.

Luo Mo stated that he would be responsible for the songs of Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi and would prepare them with great care.

This means that in every episode of the program, there will be three songs by this Top Traffic.

For Luo Mo's fans and music lovers, this is simply a grand carnival!

Ke Ming believes in Luo Mo's ability and is also looking forward to what the scene will be like when the time comes.

Over the past few days, while communicating with the other Singers, he could hear the complaints and self-pity hidden in their subtext.

Starting from this episode, Sun Yi is no longer the Sun Yi of the past.

This puts them under great pressure.

"Little do they know, starting from the fourth episode, your pressure will be even greater," Ke Ming thought to himself.

"But that's the only way the program will be better to watch, isn't it?" Ke Ming decided to stop acting like a human.

……..

……..

The rehearsal went very smoothly; Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo did not go to the rehearsal venue because they did not want to be on camera.

They can have a private friendship with Luo Mo, but as members of a girl group, they still have to keep a certain distance from him in public; those in the idol business are quite wary of this.

It's just that Luo Mo seems to be quite special, and his fans are also quite special.

Shen Yinuo has collaborated with Luo Mo on "Xi", and it is hard to tell if the ghost wedding stage was just too iconic, or if the two of them really have CP chemistry.

A huge wave of CP Fans emerged for no reason, and the number of such fans is so large that it makes Shen Yinuo wonder if more than half of her original fans are also shipping them?

Under these circumstances, if they really interact too much and frequently appear in the same frame in front of the camera, the fans will take it seriously……..

By then, it will be hard to end things without actually dating!

After the rehearsal ended, Sun Yi was glowing, and the feeling he gave off was that even his aura had changed.

The previous two times he stepped onto the stage of King of Love Songs, he was a bit timid and lacked self-confidence, so there was no such thing as an aura.

But this time, he came prepared, and clutching the new song Luo Mo wrote for him, he felt like he had come for "revenge"!

During this rehearsal, he found that feeling of unbridled joy on stage and rediscovered his former state.

From the title of the song "Not Settling", one can see that it requires a sense of determination.

If the Singer themselves is cowardly, the stage effect will definitely not be good.

At this moment, Sun Yi originally wanted to go to another hall to watch his boss's rehearsal.

Watching rehearsals is officially forbidden, but one can come secretly.

As it turned out, before he even arrived, he saw two female staff members running out at the passageway.

"Ahhh! So handsome! Luo Mo is really the type who gets more handsome the more you look at him!"

"Ahhh! It's not about whether he's handsome or not, it's that this song of his is too sweet! I feel like I'm about to fall in love!"

Only then did the two see Sun Yi walking toward them, and they immediately restrained themselves, changing from loud discussion to whispering, occasionally nudging each other with their shoulders, bumping arms, and then huddling together, giggling foolishly.

This scene left Sun Yi a bit stunned: "Is it really that sweet?"

He felt that these two young ladies looked like they had exceeded their sugar intake.

This couldn't help but make him curious: "What level of song is it exactly?"

By the time he entered the hall, Luo Mo was already saying to the staff, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What a pity, I missed it," Sun Yi thought to himself.

………

………

The next day, the third episode of King of Love Songs was officially recorded.

As before, Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo went to the VIP room to rest for a while.

Luo Mo and Sun Yi had to go to the reception hall to open their envelopes and announce the 【Royal Power Points】 they had wagered in the previous episode.

After everyone arrived, Ke Ming walked from backstage into the hall.

He scanned everyone, and it was clear that the atmosphere was even more solemn than last week.

Today, not only would a substitute Singer come to challenge the stage, but everyone would also face two songs written by Luo Mo.

This made Zhao Xueqin, who had "narrowly lost" in the previous episode, feel a bit of a headache.

He felt that Luo Mo was "cheating" by doing this.

"If Sun Yi sings first every episode, the professional jury will naturally know that the lyrics and music are from Luo Mo, and the live audience might also know; it just depends on whether the program team lets the host reveal this," Zhao Xueqin thought.

"In this way, after everyone finishes listening to Sun Yi's song, if they like it, they will have a natural sense of favor and a filter when Luo Mo sings his own song."

"This will give him a greater advantage and a higher score!"

Heavenly King Zhao felt that everything was becoming increasingly tricky.

At first, he had an advantage with the professional jury because there were many old acquaintances, and everyone had a natural sense of awe for a Heavenly King.

Just like in the last episode, his song was actually crushed by "Sunny Day", but Luo Mo actually won on the audience votes; with the professional jury, the two were tied, with almost no difference.

But practice makes perfect; since Luo Mo had already won once, the professional jury would think: "Then why can't he win against a Heavenly King a second time?"

Many people might not deliberately suppress his score anymore!

Now, Zhao Xueqin's only hope is: "Luo Mo, don't come up with any more weird tricks regarding the music!"

After the first episode aired, as he expected, Ke Ming did not cut out the sentence he said, and even gave the two of them a big close-up shot!

This caused a lot of discussion on the internet and even sparked a flame war.

He used to hope to see all this, but now he is very worried.

The internet is too developed now, and netizens are too silly.

This kind of incident can easily evolve into a brand-new meme!

For example—【Instructor Luo of the mediocre music】.

Or perhaps—【Music critic master Zhao Xueqin】.

The ability of silly netizens to create memes is terrifying; once something becomes a meme, it will be repeatedly mentioned, and might even accompany his entire career from here on out!

This is exactly what he is most worried about!

He originally only wanted to plant a nail for this Newcomer, but never expected it to turn into a landmine buried under his own feet.

"Don't explode," Zhao Xueqin said in his heart.

After Ke Ming walked in front of everyone, he spoke up: "Well then, everyone, let's announce your 【Kingship Points】."

When Luo Mo said that he had 30 points, Wei Ran, who was beside him, was stunned.

"You kid really have 30 points?" Wei Ran hadn't believed it before, thinking Luo Mo was bluffing him.

Luo Mo gave him a look and said: "There is really no basic trust between people. Wei Ge, I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a fraudster, heh."

Wei Ran was thick-skinned and didn't care at all; instead, he asked: "Are you really going to bet 30 points every episode from now on?"

Luo Mo nodded.

I'm playing with my cards face up anyway, you guys can figure it out.

This caused the other Singers to fall into deep thought.

Even though he is just a Newcomer who just debuted, he has vaguely shown a trend of becoming a Great Demon King, making everyone want to avoid him a little.

Everyone wants to Sing after him, but doesn't want to Sing right next to him...

In this round, Sun Yi bet all 30 points he had accumulated over two rounds, so it was he and Luo Mo who had to draw lots.

The result was that Sun Yi would Sing first and Luo Mo would Sing later, with the performance order being third and fourth respectively.

Zhao Xueqin's mindset collapsed instantly; it was truly a case of fearing something and having it happen!

"This is equivalent to Sun Yi warming up the stage for Luo Mo!" everyone thought in their hearts.

Ke Ming looked at everyone and said: "The theme for this episode is called 【The Sour Stench of Love】. I can tell you all in advance that the replacement Singer is a female Singer, known for her beauty and sweet voice; you all had best be vigilant."

If it were earlier, Sun Yi's mood might have hit rock bottom upon hearing this news. But now, sitting next to his boss, he felt his spine straighten a little, feeling that even at his worst, he wouldn't face Elimination this round.

Luo Mo was quite indifferent; he had immense confidence in his song for today.

"This time it's my turn to play my card, and I'm still going with Zhou Jielun."

And if everyone has seen a concert by Zhou Jielun, they might know that there is a song often used as the final track of a concert, which triggers resonance among countless people at the venue, creating an invincible atmosphere during the sing-along.

The one Luo Mo chose is exactly this one, which shows its weight and quality.

Ke Ming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "They say the first time is strange and the second time is familiar; this is already the third episode, so I presume all you Singers have gradually adapted to the stage of the King of Love Songs, right?"

"I would like to ask everyone, is there anything worth mentioning about the new songs you brought this time?" Ke Ming asked.

He first let his gaze rest on Luo Mo.

Luo Mo is the youngest and has the least Seniority, so even if he is outrageously strong, he is usually the first to answer questions.

"Singer Luo Mo, can you talk about it?" Ke Ming said with a smile.

Luo Mo nodded, and his next words made Zhao Xueqin's heart tighten once again.

"The song brought this time, just like the previous 【Sunny Day】, has a very special intro."

Upon hearing this, Ke Ming's eyes lit up, and he thought in his heart: "It's here!"

This time, it's another direct hit.

He even suspected, will Luo Mo go all the way down this path of music?

General Director Ke Ming stared at Luo Mo and said: "Then can you tell us what the relationship between this song and the theme is?"

Luo Mo thought for a moment and said: "I hope to make everyone remember that summer of falling in love."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked once again.

Because for a long time, 【Summer】 has been a huge label on Luo Mo.

The audience cannot forget that summer, cannot forget that Back Shadow that walked off the stage alone on the last day of summer.

Cannot forget that line which formed a sharp contrast with the Back Shadow: "【Do not worry about having no bosom friends on the road ahead, for there is no one under heaven who does not know you.】"

A sentence has spread widely on the internet: "This summer, talent defeated capital."

The Luo Mo of this summer is invincible.

He is someone who went from a nobody to the throne of Top Traffic.

So, what about today?
