Chapter 214: Instructor Luo and the Girl Group
The next day, major platforms were still spreading the news of Luo Mo being crowned Song King.
At the same time, "Maple" and "Nocturne," which Luo Mo performed in the finals, as well as the songs he wrote for Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi, also sparked heated discussions online.
Dominating the charts on music platforms has already become a basic operation for him.
If you look at the current Hot Song Chart, out of the top one hundred, I don't even know how many spots are occupied by songs written by Luo Mo.
And among these new songs, the ones with the highest volume of discussion and buzz are "Nocturne."
The reason is simple: one is that it is innovative enough, belonging to a fusion of classical music and pop.
Although people in this world had actually tried such songs a few years ago, none of them blended as well as Luo Mo.
Because it is trendy enough, it naturally attracts higher attention.
Another reason is that it is one of the few fast-paced songs by Luo Mo, and it is Rap.
At the same time, it crushed the entire "Hip-Hop King."
Luo Mo Studio would certainly not release such press releases that praise one while stepping on another.
They disdain such behavior, and Luo Mo himself no longer needs to step on anyone's shoulders to prove himself.
"King of Love Songs" has already concluded, and its viewership data has broken records for all kinds of music variety shows; it is already at a height where it is lonely. This makes the production team unwilling to spend money on marketing in this regard, and instead, they have started to calm down and prepare for the second season.
However, music critics will certainly send out reviews one after another, and marketing accounts will certainly be unable to resist sponging off all the heat.
This makes some rappers in "Hip-Hop King" feel that they are losing a bit of Face.
Quite a few rappers either explicitly or implicitly disparage "Nocturne" anyway.
"There aren't many rhymes in the lyrics either; most of them are just 【Single Rhyme】 at the end of the sentence. No way, no way, does a single rhyme even count as rhyming?"
"This level of rhyming, if put into our underground competitions, would be a one-round exit."
"In freestyle nowadays, double rhymes and triple rhymes are very common, let alone this being carefully prepared lyrics."
"I feel like this song is just pop wearing a rap coat; I don't even think this is a rap song."
"Our rap is a Niche culture; how could we dare to compare with a Top Traffic? Look at how even a picture they post on Weibo can catch up to the traffic and heat of an entire episode of our show."
It is just a pity that no matter what they say, it doesn't have much effect.
This group of people can only be sour while watching "Nocturne" slaughter the charts.
In the end, it was Li Ge, who has a first-class status in the rap circle, who couldn't stand it anymore and openly spoke up for Luo Mo on Weibo.
This professional-level rapper recorded a video, used a rap without using dirty words, and with the standard of 【Quadruple Rhyme】, sprayed this group of people all over.
Finally, he just said faintly at the end of the video: "Comparing rhymes, can you compare to me, the 【Rhyme King】?"
Yes, Li Ge, known by fans as the 【Hardcore Rap First Person】, and... the 【Rhyme King】.
This title doesn't sound very good, but he himself seems to like it a bit.
After showing off his skills, he said at the end of the video: "Single rhyme, double rhyme, triple rhyme, these are not the standards for judging a song, OK? In my opinion, Luo Mo's 'Nocturne' is a rare top-tier work in rap, respect!"
These small post-competition disturbances did not have much impact on Luo Mo himself.
Some circles are strange; the people inside don't think about how to make the pie bigger, they just like to tear each other apart internally.
If they were smart enough, they should be happy to see the scene of "Nocturne" dominating the charts.
"Should I throw out 'Herbalist' to blow them up?" Luo Mo thought to himself.
This group of brain-damaged guys is just a perfect match for this song.
A fan once asked why the first line of "Herbalist" has to sing "【If Hua Tuo were alive, worshipping foreign things would all be cured】."
Answer: Because Hua Tuo is good at craniotomy.
The premiere of "Cat Demon" is on Friday.
This movie did not adopt the form of 【Advanced Screening】; before the official release, it did not have small-scale screenings in some cities.
This actually shows that Xu Chujing and the production team of "Cat Demon" are a bit apprehensive in their hearts.
"Many people choose advanced screenings because they believe the movie can build up word-of-mouth through them," Luo Mo knows this point well.
There were examples on Earth back then where some movies had frequent 【Advanced Screenings】 before release, played a few times in major cities in advance, and then the word-of-mouth exploded, causing the box office on the first day of release to surge and exceed expectations.
Of course, there are also examples where the word-of-mouth collapsed directly during the advanced screening, and the first-day box office flopped.
"The entire team of 'Cat Demon' is entering the film industry from the TV drama industry, so they are still a bit green, so it is normal to choose a conservative model," Luo Mo said in his heart.
With the traffic support of him, Xu Chujing, and Ding Xiaoyu, the early heat of this movie is already completely enough.
As for whether this is a good movie or a bad film...
"How would I know?" Luo Mo is also completely unclear.
He hasn't seen the finished film yet; when he went for a guest appearance, he only saw the script for those few scenes and never saw the full script.
He only knows roughly what "Cat Demon" is about; as for what it was actually filmed like and what it was edited like, he really knows nothing.
It's not that Xu Chujing didn't take him seriously; it's mainly that Luo Mo has been too busy recently, and in the eyes of the Heavenly Queen Xu, Luo Mo is a pure Newcomer in the film and television circle with no experience, so why waste his time.
So, actually, it's not just the audience who are looking forward to the finished film of "Cat Demon," Luo Mo... is also looking forward to it.
Originally, President Shen of Xinyu intended to let Luo Mo take a short vacation these few days to rest until Friday.
But Luo Mo is a person who cannot stay idle, so he went to the Xinyu building on Monday.
The Heavenly Queen's matters should naturally be kept in mind, but the training of the girl group is also time to be put on the agenda.
Months ago, Luo Mo promised Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo that he would write songs for their Aurora Girls.
But with the addition of Sun Yi and Chen Shanqi, the show "King of Love Songs" became too busy, causing Instructor Luo's little whip to be delayed in waving at the six girl group members of Aurora Girls.
Now, this man who was crowned king is time to share his favors equally.
As soon as he walked into the Xinyu building, the people around him greeted him respectfully.
"Director Luo."
"Good morning, Director Luo."
Although Luo Mo didn't know them at all, he nodded and responded to each one, saying: "Hello, hello."
When Luo Mo arrived at his "exclusive" recording studio and was just about to push the door open to enter, he heard the energetic voice of the young lady Shen Yinuo coming from inside.
"Roar! Zi, are you crazy? Wearing black silk stockings to record a song, it's almost winter now! You're going to freeze to death!"
"And Jingjing, your 【Deer Makeup】 is drawn way too well. This eye makeup definitely wasn't done by a makeup-incompetent like you. Did you go find a makeup artist early this morning to get your look done before coming to the recording studio?"
"Are you all really here to record a song? Even a blind date wouldn't be this grand, right?"
Soon, a voice began to retort.
"Hah! What's wrong with black silk? I even wanted to wear garter stockings! You and Jiang Jiang are allowed to wear pajamas to Luo Mo's house to eat hot pot, so why can't we leave a better first impression on Music Director Luo? Even if I freeze to death today, I'm going to show my legs!"
"Exactly, exactly. Xiao Shen, you're becoming more and more unfair. We agreed that the six of us sisters would share everything, and Music Director Luo hasn't even seen me in my nightgown yet, sob-sob-sob—" Someone started acting.
Listening to the commotion inside, Luo Mo wondered if he should wait for them to finish arguing before going in.
"These young ladies are truly full of vitality," Luo Mo thought to himself.
Since he personally detested lateness and it was now the agreed-upon time, he knocked on the door, ruthlessly interrupting the playfulness inside.
Well, it was definitely not because his teaching cane was already hungry and impatient.
As soon as the knocking sounded, the room instantly fell into dead silence.
This gave Luo Mo the feeling that he was a head teacher currently conducting a dorm inspection in a girls' dormitory.
He pushed the door open and entered, only to see the other four members of Aurora Girls stand up reflexively, not daring to sit on the sofa to welcome Music Director Luo's arrival.
This forced Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo, who were most familiar with Luo Mo, to exchange a glance and then helplessly stand up as well.
Luo Mo glanced at the six distinct members of the girl group, nodded slightly, and said, "It's my first time seeing the complete version of Aurora Girls."
This row of long legs was truly a bit hard to handle.
Every member was impeccable in terms of both appearance and figure.
He now somewhat understood the happiness of the chaebols over in the land of the ROK.
"I know all your names, so there's no need for self-introductions," Luo Mo said first.
He didn't want the six girls to shout their names one by one and then finally say in unison: "We are—Aurora Girls!"
For some reason, Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo felt less at ease than usual when standing with the group members and facing Luo Mo.
But thinking about it, that made sense; usually, everyone interacted as friends, but today, he was the song producer, the company's Music Director, and the king whose word was law in this room.
As for the other four girl group members, they only felt that Music Director Luo, wearing a simple black hoodie, was so dashing and compelling that they even felt a bit shy when making eye contact with him.
Luo Mo opened the folder in his hand and said, "Jiang Ningxi and Xiao Shen must have told you, I've prepared two songs for you."
"Mm-hmm!" The four girls nodded immediately.
At the same time, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Jiang Jiang and Xiao Shen, thinking to themselves: "Music Director Luo calls Jiang Jiang by her full name, but only calls Xiao Shen 'Xiao Shen'!"
Judging by the way he addressed them, it seemed... this newly appointed Music Director of Xinyu was closer to the young lady of Xinyu?
They didn't know that because they were each other's first love, now that they had reunited, there was an invisible wall between the two of them instead.
Luo Mo first distributed the printed lyrics to everyone, then took his computer out of his bag.
"Two songs, take a look at the lyrics first."
Saying this, he looked at the six of them and said, "For the first song, the C-Position is Xiao Shen; for the second song, the C-Position is Jiang Ningxi."
He wasn't discussing it, but rather setting the matter down directly, using an unquestionable tone.
The six girls were slightly stunned, but no one protested; they had long been mentally prepared for this.
At this moment, they simply cast their gazes onto the titles of the two songs.
