Chapter 242: This Lyric, Too Wild

After Luo Mo finished his acceptance speech, the entire venue fell into a brief silence.

As it turned out, it was the award presenter standing on stage, Huangjuan, who took the lead in applauding for the young man before her.

Whether they were willing or not, and whether they felt slapped in the face by Luo Mo or not, everyone in the audience could only follow suit and applaud at this moment.

Be it sincere, or feigned.

But this did not matter, and Luo Mo did not care.

Because I am standing right here, holding the grand award; even if you are unwilling, you will clap your hands raw for me tonight.

………

………

Luo Mo's acceptance speech went from solemn at the beginning, to slightly lacking in words later on, then to slightly perfunctory, and now, it has started to become "arrogant."

The audience in the Live Broadcast room did not feel repulsed by this; on the contrary, they felt it resonated deeply with them.

"You're so cocky, I love it!"

"Yo, please be even more arrogant for me!"

"What he said is right; all they think about all day is splitting the cake, not about making the plate bigger."

"Look at the golden age of the past, there was innovation every year. And now? Now it's just copying songs from ten years ago."

"The Four Major Companies, even if you aren't convinced, you'd better hold it in!"

Four awards had already fallen into Luo Mo's hands, and the weight of each award was not low.

This made the audience long forget their displeasure at him not winning Best Newcomer, and instead, they felt this was reasonable and represented the importance the Golden Melody Awards placed on Luo Mo.

After all, having won Best Newcomer, according to the rules, one would be ineligible for other awards.

Newcomers and veterans do not compete in the same field.

Perhaps the Golden Melody Awards felt the stagnation in the music scene in recent years and were deliberately stirring things up. Perhaps the Golden Melody Awards truly favored Luo Mo and were willing to make an exception for him.

In any case, this harvest was a bit too big!

At this time, the entire awards ceremony was already more than halfway through.

The intermission had arrived, and it was time for a Singer to go on stage to sing for entertainment.

Aurora Girls were invited to perform "Chinese Language," which could be considered the organizers providing them with a platform to promote their song.

During the performance, Tao Jie leaned slightly to the side, moved closer to Luo Mo, and asked, "Director Luo, according to the usual flow of the Golden Melody Awards, they will announce Best Lyricist next, followed by Best Female Singer and Best Male Singer."

She was a little nervous, and also a little expectant.

As for winning Best Female Singer, she dared not hope for it; she just wanted to know if she had the good luck to receive a Nomination.

For such heavyweight grand awards, winning Best Male/Female Singer is equivalent to being crowned Song King or Singer Queen.

This is of a similar nature to winning Best Actor or Best Actress.

Chen Shanqi had previously been stuck at the quasi-first-line position, but now her popularity had far exceeded most First-line Singers, and several of her singles had sold like crazy; what she lacked most was recognition.

If she could win a nomination for Singer Queen in one fell swoop, then this year would be a bumper harvest for her career, and she could spend the New Year with a smile.

Luo Mo listened to her words, nodded slightly, and said, "You can have appropriate expectations."

Chen Shanqi had only emerged suddenly in the last few months; whether she could get a nomination was really hard to say.

As for Luo Mo himself, he had a rough idea about these few awards.

"Best Lyricist will give me a nomination at most," Luo Mo thought.

After all, he had already won Best Composer, Arranger, and Best Album Producer.

If he even won Best Lyricist, that would be equivalent to achieving a Grand Slam in behind-the-scenes work!

Within one year, winning a Grand Slam at a single awards ceremony is an impossible thing.

The Golden Melody Awards would not make such an arrangement, even if he had a super-god performance this year.

A Grand Slam is the highest level of honor, and this involves considerations regarding Seniority.

Let alone a top-level ceremony like the Golden Melody Awards, even those bush-league awards would not let someone take everything in one go; this is an inevitability.

As for Best Male Singer, it is the same.

Best Male Singer is also known as Song King, and among its assessment criteria, Seniority is one of the explicitly written considerations.

Although Luo Mo was broken out of the Newcomer category, he would certainly not be included in the competition track for Song King.

—At least he would have to wait until next year.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Chujing did not choose to present the award for Best Male Singer or serve as the award presenter for this category.

She had won Singer Queen three times at the Golden Melody Awards and was very clear about this.

After Aurora Girls finished singing "Chinese Language," it gave people a refreshing feeling.

Who doesn't love long, white legs? The fatigue was swept away instantly.

Following that, the person who went on stage to sing was a second-line male singer.

Once he finished singing, the awards ceremony continued.

The entire process was exactly as Luo Mo had expected.

He received a Nomination for Best Lyricist, but he missed out on it.

He guessed that at the Hua Ge Award after the New Year, they would likely specifically make up for Best Lyricist for him, and then deduct one from other awards.

Of course, the premise is that, like the Golden Melody Awards, they single him out from the Newcomer category.

When it was time to announce the nominations for Best Female Singer, Tao Jie was so nervous that her peach-shaped buttocks rubbed slightly against the chair.

Her legs were tense, her hips were stiff, her fingers were tightly clenched, and her nervousness was visibly written all over her face.

When the award presenter on stage called her name, her eyes turned a little red.

"It's enough, it's enough..." she said in her heart.

Although the one who won the award in the end was a female singer from Cilong, Chen Shanqi's face was still slightly flushed.

Luo Mo glanced at Tao Jie and turned his head, saying, "It's fine, there's still a chance next year."

Chen Shanqi looked at Luo Mo in surprise, having understood the subtext of Director Luo.

——Next year, we are going to compete for Singer Queen!

Luo Mo intended to produce an album for Chen Shanqi next year.

Not to mention other songs, just "the unpopular singer Sun Yanzi" alone still had many good songs.

For example, "Start to Understand", "Darkness", "Green Light", and so on.

It is worth mentioning that back then, Naicha Lun won the Annual Best Album Award with his debut album "JAY", but did not win 【Best Newcomer】. And the 【Best Newcomer】 at the Golden Melody Awards that year was Sun Yanzi!

This woman was also very fierce back then.

"After the New Year, I'll find time to make an album for you," Luo Mo said to Tao Jie.

Hearing these words, Chen Shanqi trembled all over, her pores expanding with excitement.

This short sentence was far more stimulating to her than receiving a nomination for Best Female Singer.

This woman, who was very sensible and had mastered the essence of "sucking up," felt that her spring had arrived.

"So, my career is currently just getting started," this crazy thought popped into her mind.

First-line Singer is just the beginning!

Sitting on the other side of Luo Mo, Sun Yi heard his boss's words but felt no jealousy.

He knew very well that he was a member of Luo Mo Studio, and the boss couldn't possibly treat his own people unfairly, could he?

As for Tong Shu, who was sitting behind, he wouldn't think too much; in fact, his biggest wish right now was for Brother Mo to release a song for Li Junyi soon.

It was just a pity that Li Junyi had been following Brother Mo since "Creating Idols", but until now, he still hadn't met Brother Mo's requirements; in Brother Mo's words, he was still waiting for him to have a breakthrough.

Now, the people from Luo Mo Studio and the singers from Xinyu were all enjoying the glory, while Li Junyi could only watch the Live Broadcast at home, helplessly watching Tong Shu take home 【Best Newcomer】, while he... was still just an undebuted trainee.

That female singer from Cilong who was crowned Singer Queen stood on stage looking slightly incoherent, tears streaming down, her voice choked with sobs, giving people a feeling of "pity me."

No one laughed at her, because the road to being crowned Singer Queen was indeed not easy to walk.

And in the list of nominations for Song King, there was indeed no name of Luo Mo.

The Golden Melody Awards had plucked him out of the 【Newcomer】 category, but not entirely.

In the bullet comments, the audience expressed their regrets one after another.

"Sigh, a nomination would have been nice."

"Say, are we being too greedy?"

"What's wrong with being greedy? Laozi still has to fulfill the flag!"

"Exactly, the more awards Luo Mo wins, the more courage I have."

"No, no, no, I see many people just want to use this reason to satisfy their various quirks."

"Stop scolding, the Golden Melody Awards clearly stipulated that 【Seniority】 has a weighting."

"That's right, hasn't Teacher Zeng also never been super popular? And there wasn't any year where his songs dominated. But he is famous for his virtue and artistry, and his seniority is deep; the year he retired, didn't the Golden Melody Awards give him Best Male Singer?"

The camera even gave Luo Mo a brief close-up, showing him applauding for the nominees with a relaxed and natural expression.

Anyway, not a single male singer from Pineapple received a nomination, and even Cilong didn't have one this year, so Luo Mo's old rivals were also having a hard time.

After the Song King was announced, only the last major award remained—【Annual Best Album】!

Just like the Golden Melody Awards on Earth, this award was placed at the very end.

Back then, Zhou Dong, who was still a newcomer, suffered through it, thinking he would go home empty-handed, but in the end, it gave him an unexpected Surprise.

However, it must be said that many songs on the album "JAY" are still very trendy even now.

Like "Tornado" and "Clock in Reverse Direction," they have also had another round of popularity in the past few years.

This year, there were even so-called singers who plagiarized the 20-year-old "Indian Dove" in music variety shows.

This triggered mockery from netizens: "Do you think we can't tell? We fans are just old, not dead!"

At this moment, Xu Chujing, sitting in front of Luo Mo, slowly stood up.

The host on stage had already called her name: "Let us invite our final award presenter—Xu Chujing!!!"

The name alone triggered applause throughout the hall.

The bullet comments in the Live Broadcast room were directly flooding the screen, overwhelming everything.

Before going on stage, Xu Chujing even turned her head to give Luo Mo a deep look. Then, dressed in a black dress, with a powerful aura, the plump and elegant Heavenly Queen walked up with long strides.

In the bullet comments, the audience began to discuss heatedly.

"Does Luo Mo have a chance!"

"Ah! I hope Luo Mo receives the award from Xu Chujing!"

"Let me give everyone some trivia: the current record for the Golden Melody Awards is four awards for one person."

"Yes, if Luo Mo wins another award, he will be the first person in history!"

"【Annual Best Album】 carries a lot of weight; in my heart, it is comparable to Song King and Singer Queen."

"With 'Red' as a masterpiece, even if someone else wins it, they will be scolded for being undeserving."

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Chujing opened the list in her hand.

This woman, with her head lowered, brushed aside her scattered hair; a simple action, yet it gave people a sense of infinite charm.

Then, she smiled.

This smile made the audience realize something.

Sure enough, when reading the nominations, Luo Mo's name appeared.

"The nominees for the 【Annual Best Album Award】 are..."

"Luo Mo, 'Red'!"

"........"

The final tense moment of the entire ceremony began right then.

Xu Chujing said straightforwardly: "Luo Mo, come up and Embrace."

"The winner of the 【Annual Best Album Award】 is—Luo Mo, 'Red'!"

Tong Shu and the others were so excited their faces turned red, and they immediately stood up to applaud for Luo Mo.

Luo Mo stood up amidst the crowd and strode onto the stage at the final moment of the entire ceremony.

'Red', it really did become the most popular this year!

Whether it was the data, the word-of-mouth, or the honors!

After stepping onto the stage, he took the trophy from Xu Chujing's hands, and the two of them hugged gently once more.

The barrage of comments immediately flooded in.

"Satisfied!"

"Satisfied!"

"Satisfied!"

Xu Chujing turned slightly to the side, making room for Luo Mo to let him deliver his acceptance speech.

Luo Mo smiled and said: "Lastly, let me thank the people around me."

"Thank you to my parents, my master, the company, and the team behind me..."

After a slight pause, he turned his head to look at Xu Chujing.

This man in a suit, with his hands resting on the stage, turned his body slightly, tilted his head to look at the woman beside him, his eyes fixed directly on her with a rich smile on his face, and said:

"And thank you, too."

It was strange; even though Xu Chujing was the 【National Producer Representative】 on 'Creating Idols' and it was normal for Luo Mo to thank her, everyone just didn't think of it in that way.

The barrage was filled with: "Ah, I'm dead!"

Because his gaze wasn't right! The way he looked at Xu Chujing was definitely not right!

Eyes do not lie.

Feeling the man's uninhibited and bold nature, a unique emotion rose in Xu Chujing's heart.

Following that, she smiled and interacted: "Luo Mo, when your album 'Red' was first released, it received a lot of criticism; many people felt that the name you chose for this album was a bit too arrogant."

"Regarding this, do you have anything you want to say now?"

"Or rather, you usually come up with a Motto or something like that; did you prepare one for today?"

Luo Mo glanced at Xu Chujing.

If it weren't her asking, he might have given a more official answer, using 【Nonsense Literature】 to directly avoid the topic.

But because she was the one asking, and because he had achieved five wins in one night, directly breaking the record of the 【Golden Melody Awards】 and becoming the number one person in the Golden Melody Awards... Luo Mo didn't mind showing a little bit of his edge.

His answer was taken from two lines in Xin Qiji's 'He Xin Lang'.

He leaned toward the microphone and said: "【I see the green mountains as so charming, and I expect the green mountains see me the same way.】"

This line was still considered normal and was one of the famous lines through the ages; the meaning was also very clear—everyone should just appreciate each other.

This was said for those who liked him.

But don't forget, who was Xin Qiji?

This man was skilled in both civil and military affairs; he could write with grace and he could write with heroism.

Therefore, there was another line in this poem, it just wasn't as famous as the green mountain line, and many people didn't know it.

Luo Mo named the album 'Red', and the meaning was actually very clear, so he wouldn't elaborate on it here.

But if you don't understand and think I'm just purely arrogant, then let me be arrogant, and let me carry this arrogance of November to the end.

Most of those who criticized him were people who prided themselves on their status, feeling that as seniors, they should not only teach him how to do things but also how to behave.

What's more, 'Red' was indeed the most popular album of the year! He had indeed achieved five wins in one night, breaking historical records, unprecedented!

So, the other line he said was:

"【I do not regret not having met the ancients, I only regret that the ancients could not see my wildness.】"
