Chapter 150: The Prelude Kill of

Inside the main hall, Ke Ming asked questions one by one, inquiring whether the songs everyone had prepared had any connection to the theme of this episode.

The keyword Luo Mo provided was 【Summer of Love】.

And when he asked Sun Yi, Sun Yi smiled and said: "This song of mine was written and composed by Music Director Luo, and it's called 'Will Not Settle'."

After saying this, he even joked: "I, Sun Yi, am just a singer; what do I know about 'Will Not Settle'?"

"Why not let Music Director Luo explain it?"

Hearing this, everyone thought to themselves: "You still called him Junior just two episodes ago, and now you've changed your tune to Music Director Luo; you might as well just call him Boss!"

Seeing everyone's gazes converge on him, Luo Mo said: "Actually, it's nothing much; it's just the meaning of the song title. This song is written about that one most special person."

In reality, as a piece from "Silent Separation", a film adapted from a romance novel, the theme actually lies in that one line: "Once some people have appeared, others become just 'settling', and I am unwilling to settle."

In this society overflowing with material desires, in a society where green tea bitches appear frequently and even being a 【Scumbag】 can become a trend, the subject matter of this song can actually still move some people.

After General Director Ke Ming finished interviewing everyone, the competition for this episode was about to begin.

Interestingly, in order to put on the airs of a senior, Heavenly King Zhao did not want to take advantage by going on stage last this time, so the 【Royal Power Points】 he wagered were not high, only 35 points, which caused his order to be placed after Luo Mo, going on stage fifth, followed by Wei Ran.

As for the substitute Singer, they would appear last.

In Ke Ming's view, this order was simply marvelous.

The conflict between Luo Mo and Zhao Xueqin had always been a major highlight of this program.

With these two going on stage one after the other, the sense of contrast would be extremely intense, and the buzz would be off the charts by then!

As for whether the final result would damage the Heavenly King's reputation... what does that have to do with me?

Is the price I paid for you to participate in this variety show not high enough?

What our program team is paying is a sky-high price in the industry!

Whenever Ke Ming thought of this, he felt he should just let go and go all out, otherwise wouldn't the money be spent in vain?

Still the same saying, the ones most capable of stirring up trouble are always the directors of variety shows.

At this moment, everyone stood up one after another and began to offer Blessings to the first female Singer to go on stage, wishing her a good performance.

Although this female Singer in her early thirties wore a smile, it was somewhat forced.

She had little confidence in this round, and Sun Yi had defected directly, leaving her without even a cushion.

"Sigh, just treat it as the last round, sing well!" she thought to herself.

After Luo Mo returned to his independent lounge, he began to watch the live broadcast on the big screen.

He viewed all of this with an appreciative eye, like an audience member, not a contestant.

The Singers who could come to "King of Love Songs" were all powerful vocalists; their Singing skills were beyond reproach, and their stage presence was always the very steady kind.

It was just that the songs they brought would have clear differences in quality.

The second one to go on stage was also a female Singer.

This time, she actually brought a hot dance and started Singing and Dancing.

Despite having a pure face, her attire was sexy.

Her smile and voice were quite sweet, but her dance moves were exceptionally alluring.

It was obvious that she wanted to take the Pure Desire Style route in this episode.

Luo Mo appreciated it for a moment and thought to himself: "In terms of Pure Desire Style, Shen Yinuo is still stronger."

That young girl herself had a face that was slightly fleshy, and her eyes were clear and clean, giving people the feeling of an ignorant little deer.

In terms of appearance, she also fully displayed a youthful look, belonging to the type that looked several years younger than her actual age.

However, she had a unique advantage in terms of her figure.

When others were looked at as a whole, they were "milk-fierce" (cute-fierce), but as for her, she was "milk-fierce" (in a more feminine, alluring way).

This meant she didn't need to deliberately lean toward the Pure Desire Style; she naturally carried this charm.

A natural Pure Desire Style was definitely more intense than this kind of atmosphere forced out later.

Especially since this female Singer's eyes didn't look as innocent as Shen Yinuo's; through her brows and eyes, the male audience could reach a conclusion in their hearts: "She actually understands everything."

However, overall, Luo Mo personally favored her a bit more; her stage presence and infectiousness were slightly stronger than the first female Singer.

The dance ended, and she was already drenched in sweat; when she bowed, the sound of her slightly heavy breathing was transmitted through the microphone by her mouth, and the warm-up effect was quite good.

At this very moment, Sun Yi was already rubbing his hands in the backstage corridor.

He stretched his body and took a few deep breaths to relax himself and enter his best state.

When he went on stage and the spotlight hit him, the professional jury immediately began to discuss.

"Huh? Why do I feel like Sun Yi's aura has changed?"

"Yes! I also feel it's changed; it feels like this person is more confident and even looks a bit more handsome."

"It seems that with Luo Mo's help, he has gained a bit more confidence."

If you observe the stars in the entertainment industry carefully, especially male stars, it is not difficult to find that when they are popular versus when they are not, even though it is the same person, the feeling they give people is completely different.

Aura, bearing, demeanor... there would be changes in every aspect.

In the center of the stage, there was a microphone stand.

Sun Yi held the microphone and walked to the stand, clipping the microphone onto it.

The prelude sounded, and the song title appeared on the big screen: "Will Not Settle".

As soon as Sun Yi opened his mouth, that slightly languid voice spread throughout the entire venue.

"【At that time, I thought I loved life.】"

"【I also considered myself to understand what was suitable and what was not.】"

As soon as he started Singing, the professional jury was immediately attracted.

They felt that Sun Yi seemed to have magnified the uniqueness of his vocal line this time.

As for the live audience, it was simpler; they just thought it sounded good.

The lyricist of this song is Huang Weiwen, who has a vast number of Cantonese masterpieces, such as the familiar "Exaggerated", "Bicycle", and "Best Friend" by Chen Yixun.

Among female Singers, there are Yang Qianhua's "Unfortunately I Am An Aquarius", Xie Anqi's "Wedding Invitation Street", and so on.

As for songs sung by both men and women, there is "Good Breakup".

His Cantonese songs have always been known for being heartfelt.

When Sun Yi sang the chorus, the emotions suddenly became intense, and the atmosphere at the venue was instantly stirred up.

"【Tormenting each other until our hair turns white,

stubbornly refusing to let go of the sorrow.

After we began to entangle,

only then was our freedom magnified.】"

The previous sense of languor formed a strong contrast with the certainty and determination in the chorus.

This kind of atmosphere creation is quite evocative.

The emotions of the audience at the venue were instantly ignited!

The two female Singers sitting in the lounge felt as if their hearts had turned to ash.

Sure enough, once Luo Mo makes a move, you know if he's got it.

This song has strong pop appeal; it should get a high score from the audience vote, and it has the potential to become a street song.

Many listeners look down on street songs, not knowing that many Singers dream of having one.

You will find that in the comment sections of many songs, there is always someone saying: "This song is my treasure; I don't want it to become popular."

By the way, have you asked for the Singer's opinion?

Some street songs are criticized because they are low-quality and brainwashing. But the reason some songs can become street songs is simply because of their strong popularity and spreadability, which can leave a deep impression on people.

Sun Yi stood in the very center of the stage, his whole person in high spirits, as if he had returned to his younger days.

This time, he unleashed his full aura and directly took control of the stage.

This Newcomer King who has set off again seems to really be starting a counterattack!

On the side of the professional jury, many people remembered the day he joined Luo Mo Studio, and the Weibo post that the official account of Luo Mo Studio posted for him.

"【Look at success and failure, life is heroic; it is nothing more than starting over from the beginning.】"

Ups and downs are nothing; what matters is that a person must have the courage to start over.

After the A-section of the song ended, there was enthusiastic applause at the venue.

Sun Yi gripped the microphone on the stand with both hands, a smile appearing on his face, and he even interacted with the audience for a bit; he looked very relaxed.

When the line "【When you appear, everyone else seems mediocre】" was sung, many female audience members at the venue were instantly a bit hooked.

Why do many scumbags like to tell women about their past heartbreaks first, packaging themselves as a fake version of someone who is scarred and will never love again?

It is just so that at the moment of expressing affection, they can make the woman feel that she is special, and that she is very different to him.

Often, what a woman wants is not love, but favoritism.

What she wants is for you to treat her differently than you treat others.

In fact, there are a large number of insecure and unconfident people in this world, regardless of gender. This type of person needs to feel a lot of love to believe that you really like them.

Therefore, as soon as this lyric appeared, many women felt they had been struck, feeling it was too sweet!

"Love it, love it!"

The devotion in this song instantly fit the theme of this episode.

The so-called "sending flowers to anyone is romantic, watching a movie with anyone is good," is that really the case?

Sun Yi stood in the center of the stage, and when he sang the chorus of the B-section, after the line "【Who can force me to settle】" was sung, a few lines of text appeared on the big screen behind him.

Looking at this familiar stage design, wasn't it the method Luo Mo often used before?

Sure enough, after joining Luo Mo Studio, he was directly Assimilated.

——【Subtle Influence of Mo】!

After the audience at the venue saw the words on the big screen clearly, many female audience members even let out screams, like marmots.

What was written on the screen was:

【If things go smoothly, we'll get married.

If things don't go smoothly, we'll get married later.】"

As the song ended, the song title "Not Settling" appeared on the screen once again.

Sun Yi bowed to the whole venue, and the applause below was thunderous.

He hadn't heard such fierce cheers for many years.

And the "her" who had encouraged him all those years while he was being Xuezang, he had lost her.

Luo Mo always felt that Sun Yi's emotions were very full when singing this song.

He never asked for the reason.

He only knew that if this song could touch Sun Yi, then, when he saw the lyrics of "Young and Promising", the sense of immersion would surely be even stronger!

……..

……..

Sun Yi began to leave the stage, while Luo Mo waited in the wings.

In the lounge, Zhao Xueqin watched the audience still cheering at the venue, and his mood plummeted to the bottom.

Because the host came on stage at this time and told the audience that both "Not Settling" and the words on the big screen came from Luo Mo's hand.

It was obvious that Ke Ming, like Ning Dan in the past, was becoming increasingly biased toward Luo Mo.

Of course, this was also for the sake of the variety show effect.

After introducing these, Luo Mo would follow up and go on stage, and the atmosphere would explode!

Sure enough, when Luo Mo walked out from the stage passage and the spotlight hit him, the audience members who had stood up simply didn't sit back down, and screams rose one after another.

Luo Mo bowed slightly toward the audience below the stage, and people on the scene immediately shouted his name.

"Luo Mo! Luo Mo!"

On this stage of *King of Love Songs*, the youngest Singer, wearing a slightly loose white shirt and a pair of equally loose black trousers, gave people a strong sense of youth.

After he held his guitar and sat down on the chair, he even smiled and made a "shh" gesture to the scene.

The audience smiled kindly, and then they quieted down one after another.

There were too many details in the intro of this song, and Luo Mo hoped everyone would listen quietly and that the scene wouldn't be too noisy.

The song in this episode was different from *Sunny Day*; *Sunny Day* started with playing the guitar right away, but this song did not.

The accompaniment sounded at this moment.

What everyone heard first was the sound of wind.

Immediately after, there was a sound like wind chimes.

Memories seemed to be stretched out at this moment, and when the sounds of multiple Yueqi all played, several composers on the professional judging panel couldn't sit still.

"Pre-chorus Kill! It's another Pre-chorus Kill!"

"*Sunny Day* was simplifying the complex, but this one is different; it's complicating the simple!"

"Multiple sounds are intertwined, and the sense of imagery is rushing toward us!"

Yes, the intro of this song was equally superb.

This was the first time Zhou Jielun used the name of a lead song to name his own album.

This song and this album were both called *Common Jasmine Orange*.

This was a song that would trigger a sing-along from the entire audience in any concert.

This song was released on August 3, 2004.

A song that had existed for 17 years to this day, yet still brought people a sense of freshness and made people feel it would never go out of style.

It was hard to imagine that a song, just by its intro alone, would have the momentum to crush everything.

This song, whether in terms of the melody or the Arranger, was ridiculously strong.

In the lounge, Zhao Xueqin only felt his throat go dry.

A major taboo when composing pop songs was excessive overlapping of notes, as this would limit and lower the musicality, making it a major difficulty in melody creation.

Yet this *Common Jasmine Orange* perfectly avoided the unavoidable difficulty of overlapping notes.

Just avoiding overlapping notes was already extremely difficult; after all, avoiding them wasn't hard, but making it sound good was.

But this song was simply invincible in terms of chords, especially on the heavy beats of the chords.

This wave couldn't even be called showing off skills; it was simply another direct slap in the face.

He seemed to hear a voice echoing in his ears.

"Zhao Xueqin, you listen carefully."

On the stage, the thing Luo Mo wanted to do was very simple, and the goal of his stage was also very simple.

When *Common Jasmine Orange* rings out, memories of love come back.

He wanted to take all the audience members back to that summer in their memories.
