Chapter 31: Sea Siren and Operatic Vocals

The first chorus of "Big Fish" came to a halt.

In the waiting room, the trainees who had already finished their performances looked at each other, and one could even hear the sound of sharp intakes of breath.

"Incredible!"

"Simply too incredible!"

"Since when did Tong Shu become so amazing?"

At this moment, many people realized that the person singing the harmony parts earlier was actually Tong Shu as well.

It was just that he was hiding in a corner, and everyone couldn't see clearly.

This meant that for this entire song "Big Fish," he had been singing from start to finish.

Such a division of labor was the height of unfairness.

If this were any other group, it would absolutely trigger a wave of protests, followed by an irredeemable internal conflict!

This is a talent show; everyone's goal is to debut, so who wouldn't want to show themselves off more?

But asking themselves honestly, if not for Tong Shu providing the harmony, the other four trainees in Luo Mo's group would have appeared very lackluster in the previous performance.

Yes, without Tong Shu's help, they wouldn't even be qualified to be the green leaves setting off the flowers!

They would completely be dragging the team down!

Some songs, you know, have instances where the cover version surpasses the original.

And as for this song "Big Fish," there aren't many cover versions that have become popular on Earth.

One can see a glimpse of the truth from this!

Some songs are just not something everyone can sing well.

"This harmony by Tong Shu in the first half can simply be called the strongest support!" a trainee who loves playing games exclaimed.

This made them involuntarily think of a common saying in games—with this kind of support, even a dog could win!

And when he truly took on the responsibilities of the C-Position, he was in perfect sync with Luo Mo.

Most importantly, they were performing an 【Original Stage】.

If nothing goes wrong, this song was tailor-made by Luo Mo for Tong Shu.

This made many trainees unable to help but say: "I can wash dishes too!"

"Yeah, I can wash dishes, and I can also choose not to drink yogurt!"

Being a lackey for a Creative Talent, can that even be called being a lackey?

That's called seeking knowledge!

Shen Mingliu looked at the direct-feed shot on the screen, patted Ji Kangdong on the shoulder, and said, "It's looking shaky this time."

The reason he said it was shaky was because there were many of his and Ji Kangdong's fans at the venue; fans vote with their feet, so even if you sing terribly, fans will still pay for love.

This is also why some terrible songs can still rush to the top of the sales charts.

Meng Yangguang stared fixedly at Luo Mo on the screen, and then, realizing the camera was shooting him, squeezed out a signature sunny smile, as if he also immensely admired that his opponent could have such a performance.

………

………

The performance continued, and the song entered its second part.

In the eyes of Music Mentor Wei Ran, there was already undisguised admiration.

If one were to say the previous half of "Gentle" was a coincidence, then this "Big Fish" thoroughly proved Luo Mo's ability.

At the same time, that Tong Shu could have such a stunning performance also made him feel it was very interesting.

He even thought that for his next album, perhaps he could also invite Tong Shu to help him sing a duet?

He had a song that hadn't been recorded yet that was truly too suitable for Tong Shu.

Xu Chujing, meanwhile, remained calm, making it impossible for anyone to tell what she was thinking.

However, at this moment, while many people had their eyes gathered on the C-Position Tong Shu, she had only been looking at Luo Mo from start to finish.

As for Shen Yinuo, who was sitting next to the diva, she was already somewhat frantic.

"Ahhhhh! This young lady must sign him!" Shen Yinuo felt that time was of the essence.

She couldn't wait any longer; she had to use every means to sign him.

With two high-quality songs, Luo Mo had already proven himself.

Signing him would not just be signing a high-quality Idol, but also an excellent songwriter!

Shen Yinuo even wanted to ask him for a song directly, requesting him to write a song for Aurora Girls.

She was already calculating in her heart: "If Luo Mo successfully debuts in 'Creating Idols,' then his contract after forming the group will be signed under a company affiliated with Pineapple TV. This company is only responsible for the activities of this limited boy group; after three years, this limited boy group will disband."

"And Luo Mo's personal contract is absolutely a hot commodity. Taking advantage of the fact that he is still in 'Creating Idols' for closed-off recording, I must hurry and secure him."

"Right! Isn't Jiang Jiang his old classmate? The two were even desk-mates!"

"Let Jiang Jiang go persuade him!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this line of thinking is spot on! Hehe, I'm not as stupid as Dad says!" Shen Yinuo puffed out her chest, causing her cheongsam to bulge.

She glanced at Jiang Ningxi and found that Jiang Ningxi was once again focused intently on the stage.

"Is she obsessed?" Shen Yinuo muttered.

……..

……..

At this very moment, "Big Fish" finally entered the final chorus, which meant it was about to conclude.

The coordination between Luo Mo and Tong Shu was still as perfect as ever.

The singing spread out, intoxicating the listeners.

"【Watching you fly far away, watching you leave me,

So it turns out you were born to belong to the horizon.

Every drop of tear flows toward you,

Flowing back to the very first encounter."】

The melodious music spread out once again, and the sounds of instruments like the piano resonated throughout the stage.

Whether it was the audience or the mentors, everyone felt that this work, which was so excellent it was almost flawless, had already ended.

But in reality, the ultimate move hadn't even been unleashed yet!

Except for Luo Mo and Tong Shu who were still standing under the lights, the other four trainees all retreated together, hiding into the shadows.

The following part would have nothing to do with them.

Standing there, they would only be an eyesore.

From the very beginning, the stage had been lit with a faint light.

At this very moment, the light gradually became scorching.

For the song "Big Fish," what has always been most praised and called a stroke of genius by everyone has never been any single line or any single segment of the lyrics.

It is the vocalizing at the very end of the song!

The clear, limpid voice gives one the feeling of soaring through the sky.

And the Bel Canto harmony sounds like the noise emitted by a whale.

The two combined together to achieve an unparalleled effect, striking directly at the heart.

As for this song, anyone who has heard the live version has nothing but praise for it.

In this part of the content, Luo Mo carried out a certain degree of adaptation.

First, Tong Shu took the lead, and then he followed up himself.

Tong Shu's vocalizing used the singing style Zhou Shen employed when he participated in the program "Singer."

After that episode aired, he gained a new title—【Siren】!

Countless music critics called him the Siren who sings by the seaside in myths!

As for Luo Mo himself, he wanted to reclaim his original intention for participating in the stage—【Opera】.

Dressed in ancient-style white clothing, he raised his right palm and gently pressed it downward.

Once the flair was established, it was the vocalizing brought by the Opera Singing.

The combination of these two, tens of seconds of vocalizing, directly gave the audience at the scene goosebumps.

This feeling is hard to describe, but this is where the charm of music lies.

"Finally, has it finally come!" Jiang Ningxi's eyes lit up.

She had been waiting for Luo Mo's Opera Singing for a long time.

The vocalizing of these two directly brought the entire song to a new realm.

Many people couldn't help but feel that they saw a person from an opera in dialogue with a Siren.

If it could be said that everyone was previously just amazed by Tong Shu's singing voice, then at this moment, they were amazed by Luo Mo's Opera Singing!

In fact, Zhou Shen had once sung a Yue Opera version of "Big Fish." But in terms of Opera, Luo Mo was naturally a cut above.

As the song ended, Shen Yinuo looked at the stage in a daze, and only after a long time did she say: "I didn't expect it, the ultimate move was at the end!"

She rubbed her arms; she had already gotten goosebumps!

That "Ah—" vocalized at the end was superb!

Hearing this, Jiang Ningxi, this cool and aloof girl group member, revealed a smile like melting snow on her face, and then she shook her head slightly.

In the entire "Big Fish," the final vocalizing was naturally the ultimate move.

But she was even clearer on the fact that Luo Mo was the Closing Disciple of the famous Opera master Tong Qinglin, and his level of Opera was truly not low.

If he really brought out his full level, in terms of Opera, it would definitely be more than just this!

Moreover, Jiang Ningxi firmly believed that Luo Mo would definitely not give up on Opera on this stage; he would absolutely bring more Opera performances!

She said in a voice only she could hear:

"This final bit of Opera Singing is not the ultimate move at all, it's just a greeting."

Begging for double monthly votes!
