Chapter 192: Another Song in the Chinese Style

"Riding a bamboo horse, you came to me; around the bed, we played with green plums."

For the Poetry Immortal Li Bai, this can be considered a rare moment of fresh, youthful innocence.

After all, look at how heroic the poem "Seeking Li Bai" written by Mr. Yu Guangzhong for Li Bai is.

"Wine enters the heroic gut, seven parts brewed into moonlight,

The remaining three parts whistle into sword Qi,

With one breath from his embroidered mouth, he spits out half of the flourishing Tang Dynasty."

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and pure.

This theme is inherently quite likable.

Most importantly, it seems this new-style Chinese Style song also reveals a hint of cuteness in its title, called "Little".

It is worth mentioning that although this song "Little" was composed by Zhou Dong, this little fatty who loves drinking milk tea once sang this song together with the original singer Rong Zu'er during a concert. Because the live key was set for a female voice, he absolutely could not hit the notes.

Presumably, the Zhou Dong of that time must have been incredibly bewildered in his heart: "This song, I wrote it?"

But the vocal range of this song is naturally not difficult for Jiang Ningxi and Chen Shanqi.

In fact, on Earth, Rong Zu'er also once sang this song together with a member of a girl group whose name has five characters on a singing program.

From the perspective of the lyrics, this song is still very beautiful and pure, yet carries a faint sense of sadness.

Jiang Ningxi picks up the microphone at this moment and begins singing:

"You used mud to mold a city,

Saying that in the future you would marry me and bring me through your door,

How many times did we turn, how many times did we pass through the door,

Wasting our youth."

Hearing this, the audience cannot help but recall the house-playing games they loved as children.

Children will pretend to be adults, using their immature voices to say things they themselves might not yet understand.

The two women begin to turn, facing each other to perform the duet.

"The little vows are not yet steady,

The little tears are still holding on,

The immature lips are speaking of parting."

This song does not seem to have a clear story background.

But in life, separation is inherently a common occurrence.

In that era, perhaps it was moving house, perhaps it was war, or perhaps it was just parents going to other cities to make a living; it is possible that children would never see each other again for the rest of their lives.

In the Live Broadcast, the barrage scrolls by.

"These lyrics are written brilliantly."

"The imagery is too strong; I can even picture the two children in my mind."

"Luo Mo, the god forever!"

"Huang Xishan, come in and learn how to write lyrics! Look at yourself these past two years, getting more and more pretentious!"

At this moment, the song also officially enters the chorus section.

First, Chen Shanqi is responsible for the singing.

"From then on, someone lived in my heart,

We, who were once small in appearance.

That year you moved a little stool,

I followed along, fascinated by the play."

Then it is Jiang Ningxi who continues singing:

"I am looking for the person in that story,

You are the part that cannot be missing.

You were taking a little nap under the tree,

While little me waited foolishly."

After the audience finishes listening to the A-section of the entire song, some begin to express confusion: "How many 'littles' were sung in total?"

This kind of lyric-writing technique is not exactly rare, but it cannot be considered very common either.

Yet, throughout the lyrics of the whole song, the word "little" is integrated quite naturally.

At this very moment, in a high-end Chinese-style Siheyuan residential complex in Shencheng.

Huang Xishan is watching the live broadcast of the Semi-finals.

He listens to this song "Little", the expression on his face extremely complex.

Yuan Hewen is not playing with him this time; he directly pulled a move of the guest usurping the host's role—if he doesn't handle the lyrics and composition, he won't let Xu Lianying of Cilon be the Guest Singer for Zhao Xueqin.

He just wants to rely on this "king bomb" combination of a Heavenly King and a diva to directly crush Luo Mo and then reclaim his own prestige.

"Without you, Huang Xishan, didn't I win?"

Regarding this, although Huang Xishan feels stifled in his heart, he is helpless.

This gives him quite the feeling of having become a "discarded pawn"; nearing retirement, he actually became a scapegoat.

That kind of inner torment is compounded.

After all, it was he who took the initiative to show favor to Yuan Hewen, only for him to be kicked away. At the same time, if Yuan Hewen really beats Luo Mo, then the competition between him and Yuan Hewen that has lasted for over a decade will effectively come to an end.

"But it just so happens, it just so happens that Luo Mo started bringing out Chinese Style!"

"It just so happens that he didn't miss a beat once again!"

"It just so happens that the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of this song are all top-tier works!"

I don't know if it was because he had heard the word "Little" too many times, but his internal monologue also started following this format.

"Yuan Hewen, oh Yuan Hewen, it's time for you to experience the torment I've been through during this time," he smiled and said in his heart.

"Don't be too clever for your own good."

This song, "Little," is not easy to beat; it won't be that easy to win!

……..

……..

On stage, the song ended with a chorus of "【Guarding the little eternity】."

The applause at the venue was thunderous, and the live broadcast screen was flooded with bullet comments:

"【Sounds great!】"

Laozi just isn't cultured; one phrase "sounds great" covers everything.

In reality, "sounds great" is one of the highest honors for a song.

In this world, a ceiling-level song among female singers' Chinese Style songs had just appeared like this!

Compared to "Little," the Chinese Style songs from female singers on major platforms nowadays are simply too weak!

This led netizens to start using memes to flood the screen: "Luo Mo: There isn't a single one who can fight!"

As the song ended, Ning Dan went on stage and greeted Jiang Ningxi.

Then, it was time for the professional judges' critique session.

Ever since the song "Father," Lv Yi's favorability toward Luo Mo could be said to have been maxed out.

He picked up the microphone and said: "As expected, once the Founder of Chinese Style makes a move, you know if it's the real deal."

"This song 'Little,' whether it's the lyrics, the composition, or the arrangement, there are no flaws to pick."

"The singing from both singers was also very good, especially Jiang Ningxi; your vocal range is very suitable for this song, and it also changed some of my prejudices against domestic girl groups."

In the VIP room, Shen Yinuo listened to him praising Jiang Jiang, feeling both happy and lost.

She also liked this song very much, but her voice was too sweet, so Luo Mo rejected her directly.

Not to mention she is so well-developed, with her face and figure growing in their own ways; what kind of "Little" would she sing?

A music critic sitting in the third row also picked up the microphone and said: "Jiang Ningxi's guest appearance brought me a Surprise; I didn't expect you to be able to interpret this song so well."

Jiang Ningxi smiled and expressed her thanks, saying: "It's mainly thanks to Director Luo."

When Chen Shanqi heard this, had it already reached the stage of sucking up to Luo Mo so quickly?

She immediately picked up the microphone and said: "Yes, the reason why Jiang Jiang and I cooperated so tacitly is that Director Luo helped a lot in the process."

Ning Dan smiled from the side and said: "Although the voting for your performance has already closed, you can't campaign for votes like this without limit for Luo Mo, who hasn't even gone on stage yet!"

The way she said it actually made the vote-campaigning effect even better.......

"Then, let's see the score given by our professional jury for 'Little'—"

Ning Dan said loudly: "90.3 points!"

By the Semi-finals, the professional judges' scoring had become increasingly stingy.

A score exceeding 90 points was already outrageous, and this included the added bonus of the special theme of Chinese Style.

After all, for this world, Chinese Style still had a very strong sense of novelty.

Like the first A-list female singer who went on stage just now, her score was only 84.6 points, which was a huge gap!

"Then, please have Chen Shanqi and Jiang Ningxi go to the other side of the stage to rest for a moment," Ning Dan said.

Starting from this episode, they don't go back to the backstage after singing; they sit on the side of the stage to enjoy the performances.

Wei Ge was already preparing at the passageway at this time, and his Guest Singer was someone completely unexpected....... my foot, it was Li Ge.

As soon as the two of them stepped onto the stage, the bullet comments started acting up.

"Ah! Completely didn't expect it to be Li Ge!"

"My god! It's actually Li Ge!"

"Wow! This is too unexpected, right?"

"Eh, are the two of them very close? They actually came to be a Guest Singer?"

Amidst a chaotic mess of bullet comments, the two brought a song.

Li Ge was responsible for the Rap, and Wei Ran sang the hook.

These two were good buddies themselves, and they had also collaborated on songs several times.

When Li Ge was participating in a certain variety show about Rap, Wei Ran had gone to be a Guest Singer.

Luo Mo watched their performance and said with a smile: "It can be seen that this is the most relaxed Wei Ge has ever been on stage."

When he was really into the singing, he even did a few high-knee lifts on stage, jumping around, feeling that he was very cool and explosive.

And in the eyes of the audience, they were just typing on their keyboards: "They are really two energetic old men."

From the perspective of song quality, this song was actually really not bad.

Xu Chujing even praised it: "It is a rare boutique of Rap."

The lyrics inside were also very positive and upbeat, yet without much of a preachy taste.

The final score was also 88.7 points, which was already very high.

After all, thinking about it carefully, on the stage of the King of Love Songs, up until now, this was the first time a Rap song had appeared.

"The audience votes shouldn't be low either," Luo Mo predicted.

Because the venue was indeed quite explosive, the incitement was very strong, and it also sounded very fresh.

After the two walked off the stage, two curtains began to fall on the stage.

The bullet comments began to express confusion: "Hmm? Why lower the curtains? Are they still trying to be mysterious?"

Tong Shu and Sun Yi stepped onto the stage at this moment, the two standing behind the curtains, and then it was impossible to see clearly who the newcomers were.

Everyone knew it was Sun Yi's turn, but they didn't know who his Guest Singer would be.

The prelude sounded at this moment, and the audience heard the sound of Yueqi.

As soon as the Yueqi appeared, everyone's emotions were immediately stirred up.

"It's the second one! The second song with Oriental elements!"

"Hahaha! Luo Mo wouldn't do three in a row, would he?"

"Danger, Yuan Hewen is in danger!"

Amidst the clamor of the netizens, the song title appeared on the big screen, making them feel that the title was so fitting.

——"Cool".

Amazing, is this definitely not meant as a taunt?

Is there really not a hint of mockery intended?

The singing voice spread out at this moment.

"【The night grows slightly cool,

The falling flowers turn to frost,

You gaze from the Distance,

Exhausting all the twilight,

Not thinking of it, yet it is hard to forget.】"

A female Singer? Listening to this voice, is Sun Yi's Guest Singer a female Singer?

However, some listeners felt something was off.

This voice sounds a bit familiar!

It feels like I've heard many songs by this female Singer, but after searching through the information on female Singers in my brain, I suddenly couldn't recall who this person was.

At this moment, the curtain in front of Tong Shu fell directly, and gasps immediately erupted at the scene.

"Tong Shu! It's actually Tong Shu!"

"No wonder I couldn't figure out which female Singer it was for so long, yet the voice felt so familiar!"

"Haha, Mom, I recognized it from the very first line!"

Because the album "Big Fish" that Luo Mo produced for Tong Shu can be called a legendary album, Tong Shu's popularity is now very high, several times what it was during the "Creating Idols" period.

He is currently in his prime, having both traffic and heat, as well as Singing ability.

Tong Shu's Surprise appearance indeed made many audience members feel excited.

However, doubts emerged in their hearts.

"Tong Shu is Sun Yi's Guest Singer?"

Many people initially guessed that Tong Shu would team up with Luo Mo to stage a scene of: "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son going into battle together."

After all, since "Creating Idols", the two had not shared the stage again, and many audience members were still looking forward to it.

So, the question arises.

"Who is Luo Mo's Guest Singer!?" countless audience members shouted in their hearts.

Ah, I'm dying of curiosity!
