Chapter 208: The Last Song of the Grand Finals

Lv Yi's commentary belonged to the successful series of platitudes, letting the audience know exactly how many songs were in Luo Mo's medley.

Under normal circumstances, the phenomenon of one songwriter writing an entire album for one Singer rarely occurs.

It is a very rare individual case for someone like Luo Mo to be fully responsible for Tong Shu's first personal album.

If Huang Xishan weren't about to retire, he wouldn't have made an entire album for Heavenly King Zhao in one go.

Usually, it is already quite good if a big-name songwriter prepares two or three songs for your new album.

Many people, for the sake of album style diversity, will also seek out songwriters who specialize in different styles to prevent it from being too monotonous.

Under normal circumstances, if an album can have two or three hits, the album is considered supported.

That is to say, as long as the full versions of these thirty-some songs by Luo Mo are excellent, they could directly support at least 10 new albums!

This made many industry insiders watching the Live Broadcast suddenly recall one thing.

"Didn't that President Wang from Pineapple boast that he would keep an eye on Xinyu's Singers to challenge them when President Shen of Xinyu signed Luo Mo?"

"President Wang put the word out back then: as long as your popular Singers release an album, we will keep an eye on you and challenge you!"

"This... does he still dare to challenge them?"

Under normal circumstances, people would not think that this kind of wholesale songwriter could produce masterpieces every single time.

Because there are also a large number of such quantity-driven songwriters in the industry; they might write many works in a month, completely relying on luck. Perhaps by accident, one of them suddenly becomes a hit.

But Luo Mo is different; this songwriting genius has never flopped!

As long as he dares to expose this work to the view of the Masses, it is guaranteed to be a masterpiece!

In the professional judging seats, there are already songwriters calculating the value of these songs.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the extra copyright income.

Like on Earth, a certain member of F. I. R. once revealed, using a song of the caliber of "Our Love" as an example, that if it is used once in a variety show, such as someone Singing it, the copyright fee is between 150,000 and 300,000.

Over a few years, it could very likely be a very considerable figure.

There is already this much in extra income, not to mention the income from the song itself.

And this song "Our Love" happens to be in "King of Love Songs" too...

Therefore, the current thought of many professional judges is: "I am actually fortunate enough to hear a hundred-million-level project on stage?"

Simply terrifying!

Seeing that everyone's commentary was about done, Meng Xiaoguang, under Ke Ming's prompt, immediately pushed the process forward: "Then, let us see the final score the professional judges gave to Singer Chen Shanqi—"

"94.6 points!"

Once the score was out, the whole venue was in an uproar again.

It is very obvious that it is the final episode, and the professional judges are scoring more and more generously.

After hearing the score, Chen Shanqi immediately covered her chest with her hand, then bowed slightly.

A voice she never dared to imagine before emerged in her heart: "That is to say, I have a chance to finally beat a Heavenly King on the stage of 'King of Love Songs'?"

You must know, a month ago, she was still agonizing over how to break into the first tier!

In just a few dozen days, her life and star path had suddenly changed completely!

As for winning the championship, she certainly didn't even dare to think about it.

She is very clear that everything she has harvested today was all given by Luo Mo.

If not for him, Tao Jie might still be shouting the slogan of breaking into the first tier three years from now.

At this time, outside the lounge backstage, a staff member knocked on the door, signaling that Luo Mo and Ding Xiaoyu could go prepare.

They don't have to perform on stage immediately after Chen Shanqi, because... Ke Ming still has to insert an advertisement.

This dog of a director knows very well in his heart that what everyone is looking forward to most is what kind of work Luo Mo will bring out on the final stage as the last song.

So, if you don't insert an ad now, when will you save it for?

You say insert it before announcing the rankings?

Then can't you insert it twice! You're thinking small, the vision is too small!

Ke Ming has always been filial to his financial backers and does not let go of any opportunity for Dedication.

Every one of his variety shows has a very high title sponsorship fee, but the frequency of advertisements appearing is also equally high.

The audience watching the Live Broadcast is cursing in the bullet comments, while the audience fortunate enough to be at the scene sees two pianos appear on stage.

This makes their eyes light up involuntarily.

"Two pianos, why are there two!?"

It can't be that Luo Mo is going to play a bit on the left, and then run to the right to play a bit, right?

"It seems there might be a Surprise!" they think in their hearts.

Inside the lounge, Luo Mo and Ding Xiaoyu have already risen and walked toward the stage passage.

He glanced at Ding Xiaoyu and said, "Not nervous, right?"

Ding Xiaoyu first shook her head, then, she said honestly: "Actually... actually a little bit."

It's very strange; if it were her own personal piano show, she definitely wouldn't have the slightest bit of nervousness.

Now that she is here to be an Assistant Actor for her master, she has become nervous instead.

"No need to have pressure." Luo Mo raised his hand and patted her head lightly, even joking: "How about you stop growing taller; your height is very convenient for me to pat."

Feeling the large hand on her head, Ding Xiaoyu said in a voice like a mosquito's buzzing: "I can lower my head if I grow taller..."

"What did you say? Mumbling and whispering, I can't hear clearly." Luo Mo said.

"No, nothing." Ding Xiaoyu rubbed her hands and began to warm up.

Luo Mo didn't pay too much attention either, and after the stage passage opened, he said: "Let's go."

Saying that, the master and apprentice walked forward side by side.

At this time, Meng Xiaoguang was already on stage making the final introduction.

"The next singer to take the stage needs no introduction from me, right?"

The entire venue immediately erupted with the name of Luo Mo.

Meng Xiaoguang smiled and said, "Then, coming up next is the final competition entry of this season's 'King of Love Songs'!"

"Let us welcome the singer—Luo Mo!"

Amidst a wave of screams, Luo Mo and Ding Xiaoyu walked out side by side.

The lighting at the stage entrance was somewhat dim, intentionally creating an effect where they could not be seen clearly.

Looking at the arrivals, everyone could only tell that one was tall and one was short, vaguely distinguishing between male and female.

"Ah! A man and a woman! There really is a helper!"

"But there isn't a guest-singing format for the finals!"

"They must be in charge of the accompaniment; I see two pianos on stage!"

"Seeing the pianos, I think I can roughly guess who it is."

Once everyone saw the two clearly, cheers immediately broke out.

Ding Xiaoyu is hailed as the nation's little sister, and her audience appeal is still very good.

Because she lacks that air of precociousness, snobbishness, shrewdness, and hypocrisy found in many child stars.

She is always so quiet, so well-behaved.

Just like now, as the audience shouted her name, she only smiled and waved her little hand slightly, counting as a reserved greeting.

Only when acting on set does she show her explosive power and dramatic tension, using it to vent the emotions suppressed in her heart.

Luo Mo, wearing a black overcoat, and Ding Xiaoyu, wearing a small black dress and a shawl, stood together in the center of the stage and bowed slightly to the audience.

After bowing, the two sat down at the two pianos, one on the left and one on the right.

Many in the audience knew that the two had a master-disciple relationship.

Their interactions on the internet were also quite frequent, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.

"Wow, Yu is here to help play the piano, that's amazing!"

"The piano genius girl and her genius master!"

"The little sister is still young, so I won't ship them randomly."

"Incredible, I was just obsessed with the 'Cat Demon' trailer, and now that the two are standing together, there's a feeling of time travel."

"Wow, I really love the little sister's look; she is so beautiful!"

"Yeah, she has a great temperament!"

After the master and disciple were seated, they looked at each other, then moved their hands onto the keys in perfect unison.

The audience's attention began to focus.

"The last competition song! The last one!"

"What song will Luo Mo use to wrap up 'King of Love Songs'?"

This song, and 'Maple', actually come from the same album, both from 'Chopin of November'.

This album, later dubbed 'Arrogance of November', was a massive hit back then, and still holds a place on the Hot Song Chart over a decade later.

From the album's concept, it followed a path of combining 【Classical】 with 【Pop】.

The introduction written inside the album was: Romantic classical factors compose a new musical poem.

Back then, this could be called an extremely bold attempt, considered a pioneering innovation.

In the early years, Zhou Jielun was generally accustomed to releasing new albums every summer.

But in the summer of '05, he did not release an album as he usually did. According to the explanation at the time, he wanted to be more meticulous in music production, refining and refining again.

Who would have thought, he used to be so diligent in releasing albums.

It really is a past that cannot be returned to.

And in that era when piracy was rampant, there was a song that, after its FM premiere, had the host speak many words during the intro to prevent piracy.

She said: "What I am about to give you right now is the super big premiere of Zhou Jielun Jay! But, I really have to talk, because there are many illegal operators, so I'm sorry, please bear with me."

As a result, the pirates recorded the entire content of the premiere, including this female voice.

With the passage of time, this female voice is hailed as a classic today, hailed as a nostalgia trip!

Many people were super annoyed years ago at having to listen to such long-winded words before the song, but looking back now, they only feel memories welling up.

And this song is also a Pre-chorus Kill.

Just the intro alone is enough to kill most songs on the market today.

In fact, the guitar part of this song is also very brilliant. Luo Mo's original idea was for him to play the guitar and Ding Xiaoyu to play the piano. But since his disciple wanted them to play together, he granted her wish.

A somewhat noisy sound emerged amidst the accompaniment.

It sounded a bit like the static from a television set when one was a child.

Immediately after, the song title began to appear on the big screen.

Have you all heard this saying:

——Once 'Nocturne' plays, get on stage to receive the award!

(ps: Second update, asking for monthly tickets!)
