Chapter 231: A Song That Inspires Fear

The reason Luo Mo has been called a "Lyric and Composition Genius" and "God Luo" in just a few short months is primarily because:

——He is a trailblazing monster!

This person is always innovating, yet he never makes people feel it is abrupt, discordant, or attention-seeking.

Some people's innovations are just nonsense.

But Luo Mo's innovations involve creating a new genre with a mature, phenomenal work.

【Chinese Style】 can be considered a major innovation that founded a school of thought, and his other minor innovations are so numerous they make one's scalp tingle.

As everyone gradually realized this, fewer people called him "Lyric and Composition Genius," and more and more called him "God Luo."

Originally, this title was only used in the violin circle, but now it has gradually become what everyone calls him.

"Luo Mo, the god forever!"

Precisely because of this, "Chinese Language," a song that looked like a major move just from its title, immediately ignited the netizens' anticipation.

"Hahaha! Seeing this kind of grand-sounding song title again!"

"Nice, one look and you know it's not some small-time stuff."

"Music scene, are you ready to kneel and listen to the song next Monday?"

"What kind of innovation will he bring this time? Judging by the title, it should still be about promoting culture, right?"

"Am I the only one paying attention to Pineapple's drama? Am I the only one eating pineapple next Monday?"

"Hahaha! I'm also sitting here waiting to eat pineapple next Monday."

The fans of 【Heavenly Queen·Pseudo-Realm】 Chun Xiao are forged to be very loyal because the company intentionally abuses the fans to increase fan stickiness.

However, her reputation among the general public is very average.

Everyone feels she is somewhat unworthy of her position, that there is a huge gap between her and the other Heavenly Queens, and that she lowers the grade of the title 【Heavenly Queen】.

Just be a First-line Singer, why force yourself to pretend to be a Heavenly Queen?

It is said that when Chun Xiao attends many events, her company requires the organizers to address her as a Heavenly Queen.

If many singers are attending an event together, she must also appear last, rank above other First-line Singers, and act as the C-Position.

This matter is no secret in the industry and has been exposed many times.

Don't think this behavior is stupid; just like those red-carpet-clinging starlets, as long as you are shameless enough, keep at it persistently, and market yourself, over time, your status can actually be elevated, and your commercial value can inexplicably rise.

This is not an isolated case in the entertainment industry.

And there is one more thing Chun Xiao is most talked about for, and that is—avoiding battles.

She never confronts the other Heavenly Queens head-on, only secretly issuing press releases to disparage them.

She is indeed inferior to the other Heavenly Queens in the music scene, but in terms of looks, she is second only to Xu Chujing.

Otherwise, with her ability, how could her development have been so smooth?

Therefore, among the Heavenly Queens of the music scene, only Xu Chujing is someone she dares not have her team issue press releases to disparage; all the other Heavenly Queens have been targeted by her.

This makes the onlookers especially want to see her battle against Aurora Girls.

You must know that idol girl groups are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Even if a girl group has high traffic, they have no status in the industry.

This is a battle of disparate statuses, and also a battle that cannot be avoided.

If it were Chen Shanqi releasing a song, with Luo Mo personally at the helm, you could avoid it and only be slightly looked down upon.

But if a girl group releases a song and you, a Heavenly Queen Gatekeeper, still want to avoid the battle, then don't bother guarding this gate.

You've already lowered the threshold for Heavenly Queens!

As for the fans of the other Heavenly Queens who have been disparaged, they are naturally at the front lines of the gossip.

"I want to see the result of this battle!"

"Told you to keep disparaging others, told you to keep avoiding battles!"

"God Luo is still the best, actually daring to have a girl group fight a Heavenly Queen!"

"The times are changing, the times are changing! I unilaterally declare that the domestic entertainment industry is about to change!"

There are still three days until "Chinese Language" is uploaded, but the buzz has already started to skyrocket.

Before, Pineapple was intentionally relying on Luo Mo to prop up the heat.

Now, Luo Mo is taking the initiative to declare war on Pineapple, which naturally can draw the heat back.

As the days passed, Aurora Girls also became increasingly nervous.

At first, they were fearless, full of confidence in themselves... no, full of confidence in Director Luo.

But when the time came, nearing the song release, they began to doubt themselves: "Will we hold Director Luo back?"

It's no wonder they lack confidence; after all, it's not just Aurora Girls, but the entire domestic girl group scene that is a bit lackluster, isn't it?

In fact, in Luo Mo's view, there is no problem with their professional skills.

Their singing, dancing, and the like are all quite good.

But have you noticed that many domestic girl groups follow the path of the ROK, and the songs they release are also very similar to the style of Korean groups?

Just like how many hit Korean group songs sound strange after being adapted into Chinese versions.

If you lean directly in that direction, not only learning the ROK's model for running girl groups and their operations, but even copying the musical style, you will inevitably suffer from some culture shock.

Furthermore, with "Miss Chic" as a foundation, listeners will be even more expectant for the second song and have a certain degree of recognition for the strength of Aurora Girls.

This level of recognition is very important.

Luo Mo had actually arranged everything long ago; he wouldn't let Aurora Girls go head-to-head with Chun Xiao right from the start.

By releasing a song in advance and letting it ferment for a week, making listeners realize "Oh, Aurora Girls' songs aren't bad after all," and having this foundation, the heat of the second song can climb step by step!

These past few days, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing have basically been having dinner together every day.

This pattern made Xu Chujing realize that something seemed wrong.

Because every time Luo Mo came over to cook, he was very excited, as if he were engaged in a great cause.

But it did indeed soothe her recent bad mood.

With the new weekend, cinemas began screening new movies again, which caused the box office for *Cat Demon* to plummet once more.

Even though the weekend had arrived, the single-day box office nearly fell below 10 million.

As for *Late Marriage*, ever since the reviews became polarized, it had grown increasingly sluggish, and it was not far from being pulled from theaters.

But this did not affect the newly inducted member of the Ten Billion Club, Song Ge, who spent every day feeling like he was floating on air.

He felt that in the film industry, he could already be considered someone of note.

Coupled with his father, who served as vice-chairman of the Film Association, he became even more inflated.

Every time he was interviewed, once a reporter deliberately brought up Luo Mo, he would take the bait, using all sorts of veiled criticisms and insinuations in his words.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, you will find that in the entertainment industry, there are far more people with low emotional intelligence and low IQ than those with high emotional intelligence and high IQ.

After all, in this industry, even a lunatic can get by, become a trending celebrity, and have a bunch of supporters.

So, Song Ge's behavior was nothing strange.

It was just that all of this was ignored by Luo Mo.

On the contrary, recently, he felt that the way the Diva Xu Chujing looked at him was always a bit off.

Because, ever since *Cat Demon* was released, the CP Fans of Luo Mo and Xu Chujing had increased again, and the team for the Mo Xu CP was gradually growing.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. When there are many people, all kinds of talents emerge.

Recently, CP fanfiction about the two had started to become popular on the internet.

Several of them had already broken a million views on Weibo...

For certain reasons, Xu Chujing saw one of them.

This CP fanfiction was in a serialized state, updating 2,000 words a day; it was ridiculously short and contemptible.

She didn't know what nerve had been struck, but she actually clicked on it to read it, and then... there was no turning back!

Xu Chujing knew that there were celebrities in the industry who read their own CP fanfiction. Many celebrities had said they had read them when interviewed.

Among them, some might be lying, doing it to keep fans writing and to increase their own popularity.

But some were truly reading them, and they knew the famous scenes inside like the back of their hand!

That very night, Xu Chujing became addicted.

And I have to say, it was strangely compelling to read.

This caused her to have slight confusion in her brain when facing Luo Mo the next day, subconsciously filling in some plot points.

And why did Xu Chujing see this CP fanfiction?

It was that female technician... no, it was that female Psychologist who pushed it to her.

"Oh! My friend! I've read all your CP fanfiction; this one is the best, five-star review, highly recommended!" the female Psychologist sent via WeChat.

Xu Chujing replied with two words: "You're sick."

She felt that her doctor had a strong tendency to become the evil leader of a CP organization.

Then, her finger uncontrollably clicked on the link...

Tsk, what an abyss of sin.

………

………

A beautiful Monday arrived just like that.

At exactly twelve noon, "Chinese Language" and the title track of Chun Xiao's new album, "Love Love Love," were to be uploaded on all major platforms.

On the Blue Shrimp Music side, it was the usual routine: piling all the good resources onto the Singer under the Pineapple banner.

As for Penguin Music, they once again bet on Luo Mo, firmly believing that the songs Luo Mo wrote would definitely earn us more money.

—Penguin is always so pure.

At this time, in a rented apartment in Shanghai.

An English teacher at an educational institution, who moonlighted as an amateur music critic, listened to these two songs the moment they were released.

He listened to "Love Love Love" first; it wasn't to his taste.

Then, he went to listen to Aurora Girls' "Chinese Language."

When the song started and that tongue twister appeared, his hair stood on end.

When others' hair stands on end, it might be because they are amazed.

But he was terrified.

His name was Ma Dalong, a name without much class, which he couldn't come up with anything better for.

This wasn't an internet handle; it could barely count as his real name. To be precise, this was his Chinese name.

Yes, Ma Dalong was a foreigner.

A foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes.

He felt that the Ox was a sacred thing in Huaxia, so he thought his name was majestic, and every time he shouted it out, he felt he was really awesome.

"【The carrying pole is wide, the bench is long, the carrying pole wants to be tied to the bench...】" the singing of Aurora Girls spread through the room.

Ma Dalong frantically rubbed the hair on his arms.

Just a few lines of lyrics reminded him of the fear of being dominated by tongue twisters when he studied Chinese hard years ago!

"This song is terrifying!" he said in Chinese with a Northeast accent.
