Chapter 158: Writing a Song for the Singer Queen (Begging for a Monthly Ticket!)

This star really wants to retire.

In Beijing, it was not until six o'clock that Luo Mo finished his rehearsal.

Because this was his first rehearsal, there were many procedures to follow, and more areas that required familiarity and attention.

Regarding the overall effect, the General Director, Qian Qingyun, was very satisfied; the staff on the side were seeing Director Qian praise a young person like this for the first time.

Just ten minutes ago, Xu Chujing had also arrived at the location of Luo Mo's rehearsal.

Although she and Director Qian Qingyun could not be called very close, they had collaborated before, and she had once sung the theme song for one of the Director's works.

After she greeted Qian Qingyun, the two exchanged pleasantries, mainly chatting about the movie "Cat Demon".

This movie was the debut work of Xu Chujing entering the film industry; at the same time, she had personally invested tens of millions and was one of the investors.

After chatting, Xu Chujing took a look at Luo Mo on the stage, and then listened to this grand and imposing song.

The further she listened, the brighter her beautiful eyes became!

"What? You like this song too?" Qian Qingyun asked.

Xu Chujing nodded and said, "It's mainly that I like this feeling."

The theme song for "Cat Demon" had not been decided yet, and she wanted a song that was grand enough.

After all, this movie could be considered a female-led film, and it contained themes of home, country, and the world, as well as saving the world and helping others; she felt the theme song could not be small-minded.

Although the Cat Demon was a demon, everything she did was an act of Righteousness; among these types of songs, there were too few suitable for a female voice.

She had very high Requirements for her debut work, and don't forget that she herself was a Singer Queen in the music scene; she had to strictly vet the songs she sang.

After listening to this song by Luo Mo, she felt that her decision to invite Luo Mo to write a song was an extremely correct one.

"He is indeed very good at these things," Xu Chujing said in her heart.

But she quickly negated her own view again.

"He isn't just good at these things; he is almost good at everything," the Singer Queen thought to herself.

At this moment, Luo Mo on the stage began to dance with a sword.

He had practiced Opera since he was a child and also had a foundation in Classical Dance, so one could see him perform a flip, and his whole body flipped onto the surface of the large drum.

His movements were elegant and dashing; they were clearly very powerful, yet they were very gentle the moment he landed.

Just this one movement alone would likely attract countless fans when the time came.

And while he was dancing with the sword, Xu Chujing felt as if she had returned to the time of filming "Cat Demon".

It was just that when Luo Mo came to make a guest appearance back then, he was a hero in white, while today he was dressed in red.

Don't forget, a saying had always been circulating in the martial arts world—Luo Mo in red is the eternal god!

"It really is a series of coincidences. If his stage performance at the National Day Gala can go viral, the scene of him dancing with the sword will definitely leave a deep impression on people. When the movie is promoted later, he will be playing the hero in white who uses a sword, which can add another wave of heat," Xu Chujing thought.

She felt everything was very clever, as if it were destined by fate.

Luo Mo's sword dance fit this song perfectly, but it just so happened to be able to help her.

This was not the first time; the various previous events were also like this.

Only once is called a coincidence; when coincidences keep happening, people generally call it—destiny!

And when words like "destiny", "fate", and "intentional or unintentional" pop up in a woman's heart, then everything becomes a bit wonderful.

After the rehearsal officially ended, Qian Qingyun patted Luo Mo on the shoulder again, and after the two exchanged contact information, he left to attend to other matters.

Xu Chujing looked at Luo Mo, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and looked at this man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes who looked extraordinarily handsome in ancient costume, and said, "Long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see."

It was now dinner time, so Xu Chujing invited Luo Mo to have a meal together.

"Jing, are you interested in going to my family's small restaurant to have a taste?" Luo Mo asked.

His family's restaurant was not far from here, and he could enter through the back door, walk directly through the kitchen, and then enter a private room on the second floor; it was very safe.

"Speaking of which, my mom is still a fan of yours, Jing; she likes your song 'Comb' the most," Luo Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "That's fine, then I'll be intruding."

"It's fine, I'll treat," Luo Mo said with a smile, "I have an internal price."

Yes, he had to pay money to eat at his family's restaurant.......

He felt that in front of his old man, he had absolutely no status as a senior.

When Xu Chujing's nanny van drove to the back door of the small restaurant, after the fully armed Singer Queen got out of the car, for some reason, she was unexpectedly a bit nervous.

This woman with a powerful aura couldn't quite figure it out; she wasn't nervous when holding a concert for ten thousand people, and wasn't even nervous when going to an awards ceremony, so why did this small restaurant give her the feeling of a dragon's den or a tiger's lair?

Luo Mo led Xu Chujing upstairs, and after they walked into the private room and sat down, Luo Ba and Luo Ma walked in.

Seeing the Superstar Singer Queen coming to their restaurant to eat, their attitude was enthusiastic, yet they maintained a sense of propriety.

They didn't even stay in the private room for long, just asking what dishes she liked to eat and if there was anything she avoided.

Things like taking photos together, asking for autographs, or saying "your presence really makes our place shine"....... none of that happened.

They had their own wisdom in dealing with people, and always upheld: "We can't help our son with anything, so let's not add to his troubles."

The departure of Luo Ba and Luo Ma made Xu Chujing heave a sigh of relief.

Luo Mo was quite relaxed and at ease staying in his own family's restaurant.

After pouring a glass of hot water for Xu Chujing, he asked, "Jing, is there something you wanted to see me about?"

Luo Mo was used to getting straight to the point and didn't like to engage in unnecessary beating around the bush.

Some people, when they see others have something to ask of them, like to put on airs, refusing to lead the topic to the main point, and if others try to bring up the main point, they deliberately divert the conversation just to mess with the other person's state of mind.

Xu Chujing nodded; she had no intention of beating around the bush either, and said directly, "The filming for 'Cat Demon' has wrapped up, but I am not satisfied with any of the lyrics and music for the theme songs I've received recently, so I wanted to ask you to give it a try."

"Just this?" Luo Mo said in his heart.

For him, this kind of thing is the simplest.

"Then what style of theme song does Jing want?" Luo Mo asked.

Xu Chujing did not answer directly, but instead said, "What style do you think is more appropriate?"

She actually had an idea in her mind already, but she still wanted to hear Luo Mo's opinion.

"Hmm... something grander, preferably with a bit of a martial arts world flair, and then a bit more carefree, a bit more crisp," Luo Mo said after thinking for a moment.

This was completely consistent with Xu Chujing's own thoughts.

She knew she had found the right person.

But time for the movie was tight and the release date was already set, so the theme song needed to be followed up on soon.

"About how long will it take you to write it?" Xu Chujing asked.

She knew that creation required a certain state of mind, and this question was a bit difficult, but there was no other way.

"Depends on how long you want it to take," Luo Mo said in a joking tone.

"Then I want it now," Xu Chujing replied with a smile, not taking it seriously.

"Alright." Unexpectedly, Luo Mo agreed in one breath.

He was seen getting up and walking to a small table on the side, picking up the notepad the waiter used to record orders and a ballpoint pen, tearing off a sheet of paper directly, and then sitting back down.

Xu Chujing looked at him in astonishment, seeing that this man had already begun to lower his head and write.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that the scene before her was familiar.

She would imagine being like a Cat, lying directly beside him, then lifting her eyes to look at him quietly.

If he met her gaze, she would nudge her head over and let him rub her a few times. If he continued to be busy, she would lick the back of his hand and then lie on the side to continue waiting.

Luo Mo wrote very quickly, and before long, he had finished writing the lyrics.

After finishing, he turned his head to take a look, and his gaze naturally crossed with Xu Chujing's.

"This woman really does grow on my aesthetic points," Luo Mo couldn't help but think in his heart.

Her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes, her charm, all made Luo Mo lose his focus for a moment, feeling his heart stirred by it.

The most ridiculous thing was that she was clearly not an object, nor some small pet, yet an impulse to toy with her rose in his heart.

"Have I become lecherous recently?" Luo Mo asked himself a question that struck his soul.

Xu Chujing took the slightly hasty piece of paper from Luo Mo's hand, her gaze falling on the lyrics.

The name of this song was "Walking Carefree Once," an extremely classic old song that could awaken the memories of a generation.

She couldn't help but read it out loud:

"【The world is vast, passersby are in a hurry,

The tide rises and the tide falls.】"

Just from the first two lines, her feeling came all at once!

"I want it!" she said, lifting her eyes.

Xu Chujing turned her head and realized that Luo Mo was also looking at her quietly at this moment.

Exactly the same as when she had looked at him just now.

The food at Luo Mo's family's small restaurant was served quickly; Xu Chujing tasted it and felt it was quite good.

Luo Mo sang a few lines of this "Walking Carefree Once" for her a cappella, and Xu Chujing was increasingly satisfied with the song.

Naturally, she wouldn't think that Luo Mo had written it on the spot; she figured it must be more stock from his ridiculous music library.

As early as during "Creating Idols," everyone knew that there were a massive number of songs in Luo Mo's computer, and many people in the songwriting industry joked about wanting to form a team to steal the computer from Luo Mo's house.

Xu Chujing loved this song immensely; she felt it would add points to the movie.

The Diva, in a great mood, waved her hand and said, "The old rules: the copyright for the lyrics and music stays in your hands; as for the profit-sharing, I'll raise it by ten percent for you."

Luo Mo shook his head and said, "I'll only keep the most basic copyright for this song; consider the rest a gift to Jing. As for me, I'd like to ask Jing for a favor."

"Go ahead," Xu Chujing said.

Even though she hadn't heard anything yet, she felt she had already agreed in her heart.

The young man before her was like someone who had cast a spell on her; it was very hard to refuse.

"The semi-finals of 'King of Love Songs' use a guest singer format, and I want to invite Jing to be my Guest Singer," Luo Mo said with burning eyes.

If Xu Chujing came to sing, that would be the pinnacle, and it would be the pinnacle in every aspect.

No matter who Zhao Xueqin invited, Luo Mo wouldn't panic.

With a Diva in hand, the world is mine.

He sincerely issued the request:

——Cover me!

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing asked, "It's in the middle of October, right?"

Luo Mo nodded and said, "Yes, the Live Broadcast is on the 14th."

"Okay," Xu Chujing agreed in one breath.

She could make her own decisions regarding all matters in her work, and people in her studio could only provide references; this woman did not like others pointing fingers at her.

Luo Mo hadn't expected her to agree so readily.

Xu Chujing picked up a piece of dried vegetable ribs and said, "As for the profit-sharing for 'Walking Carefree Once,' let's keep it as it was."

This meant she insisted on stuffing money into his hands.

Don't underestimate the benefits a song could bring; Xu Chujing was a Super First-line Singer, and her songs always sold out.

"I don't know why, but I'm always able to enjoy the care of older sisters," Luo Mo thought in his heart.

There is a popular saying online: "The top of the food chain is the older sister."

But they are always feeding me, just feeding me!

Luo Mo originally wanted to be polite, but Xu Chujing directly blocked his words, smiling as she said, "I think you owe me a favor."

She had actually helped Luo Mo many times, intentionally or unintentionally, but in the end, the greatest beneficiary every time was herself.

This made her realize that the difficulty level of getting this man to owe her even a little bit was unexpectedly high.

This man is really hard to deal with!
