Chapter 273: White, White, White

You might not know what it means to write "Blue and White Porcelain" using 【4536251】; we generally use two words to describe such a person—a Song Freak!

The evaluation Lv Yi gave to his daughter is actually not far-fetched.

Not just him, but the other industry insiders watching the Spring Festival Gala Live Broadcast also felt this was a textbook-level performance.

They didn't even feel like Luo Mo was performing in front of them; they felt he was showing off in front of everyone.

A show, a heavenly show, a show that stands alone!

Lv Yi continued: "Next, it depends on the feedback from the market and the listeners."

"From the perspective of music theory, this song is extremely high-level in every aspect."

"If the listeners also think this song is great and it becomes a huge hit..."

"Then that is equivalent to telling lyricists and composers that there are no cliché, low-level formulas, only people who write bad songs!"

As a member of the Evil organization Strangers, Lv Yi's daughter listened happily to her old father praising Luo Mo, her face beaming with joy.

"A textbook-level song?" she thought to herself.

Then does this mean that this man, who is only a few years older than her, is giving the lyricists and composers in the industry...

—a public lecture on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which belongs to the whole nation!

………

The song enters the B section at this moment.

The lyrics do not repeat the A section.

Many Singers' songs actually just have a few lines of lyrics sung over and over again.

Zhou Jielun's songs, it's still that same word—extravagant!

The lyrics for the B section of "Blue and White Porcelain" were written by Fang Wenshan with his usual meticulous care.

"【The white and cyan koi leaps upon the bowl's base,

While copying the Song-style inscription, I think of you.

You are the secret hidden in the kiln fire for a thousand years,

As delicate as an embroidery needle falling to the ground.】"

The entire format is actually consistent with the previous part; the first line writes about an object, and the second line begins to write about a person quite naturally.

The special effects of the entire stage began to follow; when Luo Mo sang the words "koi," he slightly raised his right arm, and a swimming fish leaped past his arm, causing ripples of water to emerge in the air before disappearing.

When this fish appeared again, it had already appeared on the bowl's base on the screen, becoming a pattern.

Several traditional musicians on stage provided accompaniment; their clothes were also very exquisite, blending ingeniously with the entire set.

It was as if they were also a part of the scenery.

For the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was as if a scroll was slowly unfolding before them; the people on stage were all people within the painting!

And as everyone knows, once the people in a painting are beautiful or handsome, everyone calls them—immortals in a painting!

Luo Mo was no longer sitting in front of the guzheng at this time, but slowly stood up and picked up an oil-paper umbrella placed beside the table.

He held the open oil-paper umbrella in one hand, with the other hand behind his back; his posture was upright, and it began to rain in the Jiangnan mist on stage.

A sense of haziness shrouded the stage, and the lights also became misty at this moment.

He continued to sing:

"【Outside the window, the banana leaves provoke the sudden rain, the door knocker provokes the verdigris,

And I passed by that small Jiangnan town and provoked you,

In the splash-ink landscape painting,

You are hidden away from the depths of the ink.】"

The "Three Provokes" that have always been talked about in the whole song appear at this moment.

The Lyricist Fang Wenshan has expressed many times in front of the camera with great pride that he is particularly satisfied with the three "provoke" characters in these lyrics.

Corresponding to this, there are also the "Three Waits" in "Fireworks Cool Easily."

But the word "provoke" is indeed used incredibly ingeniously here, making everything vivid and carrying a touch of playfulness.

After the final "provoked you" is combined with the "The sky is cyan waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you" from the chorus, the sense of imagery becomes even stronger instantly.

Many listeners listening to the song seem to be able to imagine a story in their minds.

Bullet comments emerged at this moment.

"These lyrics are written well!"

"What is good about this 'provoke'? This question is worth 10 points, everyone answer carefully."

"The woman from the Jiangnan water town is clearly gentle and lovely, and paired with the word 'provoke,' it's absolute!"

"Whoa, it suddenly has a bit of a romance flavor!"

"Luo Mo, work overtime! Film an MV for this song!"

Speaking of which, Luo Mo has indeed never filmed an MV for any song since his debut.

So, although many of his songs have had their copyrights purchased in the systems of major KTVs, if everyone goes to KTV to sing his songs, there is no MV to watch, and they cannot see him in person.

Me, Luo Mo, is it because I'm lazy that I don't film MVs?

It's because I'm afraid you won't focus on singing when you see my face and figure.

At this time, in the continuous drizzle created by the stage special effects, Luo Mo held an oil-paper umbrella, having quite a sense of being aloof from the world.

He walked forward a few steps, and a stone bridge appeared; he leaned against the bridge, and the atmosphere was fully realized.

"【The sky is cyan waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you.

The cooking smoke rises, across the river for thousands of miles.

On the bottom of the bottle, I write in clerical script, imitating the elegance of the previous dynasty,"

Just treat it as the foreshadowing for meeting you——」

Folk music intermingled, the singing voice melodious.

For many in the audience, perhaps it will be hard to forget this stage, so full of artistic conception.

Huaxia's exquisite porcelain, Huaxia's Jiangnan water towns, Huaxia's ink-wash painting scrolls, Huaxia's poetic and picturesque charm………

These things are just too suitable to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

This live performance can absolutely be counted as a god-tier live performance.

Backstage, Qian Qingyun looked at the real-time viewership data, his brows dancing with joy.

「Before Luo Mo even appeared on stage, the data had already started to rise. 」

「It is very obvious that many people came specifically for him. 」

「That is why, in the first few minutes of his program, the data suddenly surged. 」

「Is this his appeal and influence? 」 Qian Qingyun was seeing such terrifying energy in a young Singer for the first time.

The most exaggerated part was that this data not only stabilized, but as the stage performance began, it continued to advance triumphantly!

Although it seems that in the entertainment industry, the status of an Actor is slightly higher than that of a Singer, in reality, do you really think a high-popularity Singer lacks appeal?

Why was Zhou Jielun able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala back then?

The director's insistence against all opposition was one aspect; the online signature support of millions of people was the other.

You must know, that was an era when the internet was not yet developed; many families didn't even have a computer!

Such a massive momentum could be said to have stunned the entire entertainment industry; everyone was dumbfounded.

The assistant responsible for monitoring the viewership data suddenly stuttered a bit and said: 「Director... Director Qian, if there is no significant margin of error in the viewership data, it has already... already broken last year's Peak Value! 」

After the tossing and turning of this period, the face of this old man, Qian Qingyun, had originally been full of exhaustion.

But at this very moment, he instantly became radiant.

This broken Peak Value was not the Peak Value for a singing program, but the viewership Peak Value of last year's Spring Festival Gala!

「Surpassed last year, this is enough! 」

「This is equivalent to handing in a perfect answer sheet! 」 The anxiety in Qian Qingyun's heart was swept away at this moment.

「It seems the audience really likes this song! 」 he thought to himself.

You must know, in 2008, Blue and White Porcelain swept the 19th Golden Melody Awards, taking home the three major awards: 【Annual Song】, 【Best Lyricist】, and 【Best Composer】.

Looking across the music scene, how many songs can reach such a height?

Just how Ox is this song?

It is so Ox that even Zhou Dong couldn't help but joke: 「The other songs included in the album 'I Am Very Busy' were not nominated; if I had known, I should have just released a Single EP! Thank you all for liking this song so much. 」

The main melody in the 【Gong Mode】, paired with Fang Wenshan's lyrics and Zhou Jielun's Singing, was simply a massacre in the music scene.

For the people of Blue Star, many even regard this song as a New Year's gift given to everyone by Luo Mo.

Because in this Blue and White Porcelain, the character 'Mo' appears several times.

The charm of Chinese Style swept the whole country on New Year's Eve.

This new genre, which has only appeared for half a year, shone brilliantly tonight.

For Luo Mo, the fans he reaped today are of all age groups.

Many people of Old Age, while listening to this song, couldn't help but say: 「It sounds better than the ones before. 」

In reality, the old ladies and old gentlemen are actually the loyal audience of the Spring Festival Gala, watching it almost every year.

Many people of Old Age don't have many entertainment options and just love watching TV, so how could they miss the Spring Festival Gala?

It is precisely because of this reason that when Qian Qingyun arranged Blue and White Porcelain, he did not arrange it too late.

If the time were too late, the people of Old Age wouldn't be able to handle staying up for the New Year and would have long since gone back to their rooms to sleep, only able to watch the rebroadcast later.

As for many music critics like 【Leshen Dama】, they realized that they should also work overtime.

For some songs, if you can avoid writing a review, you don't write it; it's the New Year, who doesn't want to rest?

But for the review of Blue and White Porcelain, it must be written!

The review for this song must not only be written, but written extensively!

There are simply too many things about it worth discussing in detail; we have an obligation to let the Masses know: 「You think this song is very impressive, but in reality, it is far more impressive than you imagine! 」

Since Luo Mo stopped releasing new songs, the music scene during this period could be said to be a pool of Dead Water; it has been a long time since a work appeared that made listeners feel a Surprise.

In these few years, the music scene has indeed had a trend of regressing.

And then, this Luo Mo, who appeared out of nowhere, might be able to rely on his own strength……… to prop up the music scene for a few more years!

……..

……..

As the song ended, the special audience sitting at the venue applauded like thunder.

The internet was also full of praise.

「Sigh, why can Luo Mo only sing one song! 」

「Yeah, he definitely still has goods in his computer! 」

「Stop talking, let's form a group to steal the computer! 」

「Although it's a bit inhumane, I really hope Luo Mo works 18 hours a day, working overtime day and night. 」

「Haha, he is from Beijing, who knows, maybe he is still rushing home to eat right now! 」

In reality, Luo Mo did not leave the Spring Festival Gala venue.

He was called to the backstage by Qian Qingyun's assistant.

Qian Qingyun was still in a busy state, and seeing Luo Mo come in, he could only take a moment to chat for a few sentences.

「Luo Mo, looking at the real-time data, your stage data has already exceeded last year's Peak Value, and it is also the first for this year's 【Song】 category programs, 」 Qian Qingyun said.

Luo Mo nodded and smiled slightly.

Director Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've done me a huge favor this time."

"It's the New Year, and I'm still busy, so I won't say much more. Next year, I'll have a batch of resources on hand, and we'll have a good chat then."

The intention to groom him for success could not have been more obvious!

"Thank you, Director Qian, Happy New Year," Luo Mo said politely.

"Mm, Happy New Year to you too," said Qian Qingyun.

After leaving the production team's area, Luo Mo went backstage to find Xu Chujing.

She was responsible for the closing song, and since it was still a long time before she had to go on stage, it was quite boring backstage.

At this moment, the Heavenly Queen Xu had already finished her makeup and changed into her stage costume.

Looking at the dignified and beautiful Xu Chujing, Luo Mo felt nothing but awe.

"Ah, my aesthetic sense has been struck by her again!" he couldn't help but think to himself.

Because he hadn't let Xu Chujing hear "Blue and White Porcelain" before, this was her first time hearing it today.

"You really are something, actually daring to use the 4536251 chord progression for Singing at the Spring Festival Gala," Xu Chujing looked at him, chiding him for his audacity.

"What of it? As long as it sounds good, that's all that matters," Luo Mo shrugged nonchalantly.

Then, he looked at Xu Chujing and said, "By the way, Happy New Year."

Xu Chujing didn't expect him to change the subject so suddenly, but looking at the beaming Luo Mo, she could only say, "Happy New Year."

Immediately after, she watched as Luo Mo plopped down onto the sofa opposite her, looking very much like he had no intention of leaving.

Xu Chujing asked curiously, "You've finished your performance, aren't you going home? If you go back now, you can still make it in time to watch the Spring Festival Gala with your uncle and aunt."

"No, I'll wait for you to finish the closing song and hitch a ride with you; we're heading in the same direction anyway," Luo Mo said. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, hasn't it?"

This was a clear indication that he intended to stay and keep her company.

If he were staying stubbornly, it would certainly be annoying, but if she wanted him to stay by her side, then this final sentence, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, hasn't it," took on a different flavor.

"But it's New Year's Eve, and your uncle and aunt..." Xu Chujing felt this wasn't right.

Luo Mo waved his hand, smiled, and said, "It's fine, they told me not to go back, saying they didn't need a fourth for mahjong and that I was just in the way."

Xu Chujing was momentarily speechless.

Luo Mo, however, suspected whether his parents had seen some rumors about him online and then noticed that Xu Chujing's performance was scheduled last.

He suspected this was a probe on New Year's!

A probe into his love life!

But he didn't mind jumping into this trap.

Besides, he had already spent time with his family during the day; many close relatives had come over in the morning for the reunion dinner.

For Luo Mo, this year's New Year's Eve allowed him to enjoy the liveliness and the atmosphere of fireworks that he hadn't experienced for many years while living on Earth.

"If Baibaibai were here too, it would be perfect," he thought to himself.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was time for Xu Chujing to go prepare for her performance.

(PS: Only one update today, sorry. Also, a notification: the update volume will be lower over the next few days, and I might take a few days off.

Because—May Zong and I are getting engaged this Sunday!

There are many things to prepare and many things to be busy with these next few days; after all, it's a major life event, hehe! Please vote for me!)
