Chapter 330: I Want People to See Me
The singing spread, and the entire venue was in an uproar.
On the finale night of "Masked Singer," for the final song, most people usually choose something sentimental that can resonate with others or evoke memories, or—something exciting enough!
Judging from the style of the entire song so far, this is undoubtedly a... rock song!
You must know that "Superstar" has mainly presented himself with folk-style works throughout the entire season.
Whether it is "Worry" or "Those Flowers," these songs of his are rare folk gems in the current market.
These songs are indeed very good, and everyone admires the lyrics written by "Earth."
However, aren't there many people comparing "Earth" with Luo Mo?
Many people feel that the lyrics and music created by "Earth" cannot be called single-styled—after all, the style is quite varied, such as "If One Day I Become Very Rich"—but the genre is very singular.
Folk style, folk style, and still folk style!
Unlike Luo Mo, from the initial "Gentle," to "Red Actor," to "East Wind Breaks," to "Nocturne"... he can be said to have tried too many genres.
He has played rock, he has sung with opera singing, he has been crowned king of love songs, and he even scored five kills in one night with rap songs, being jokingly called the King of Pacifying Hip-Hop by everyone.
Not to mention the resounding title of the founding father of Chinese Style.
Therefore, many people say that Luo Mo is a genius of lyrics and music, an all-around creator.
As for Teacher "Earth," he has reached the peak within his own field of expertise.
From a certain level, it seems he is still quite a bit inferior to Luo Mo.
Therefore, the moment this rock song came out, it felt like—"Earth" was responding!
Who says only Luo Mo can try various genres?
I can do it too!
And he crossed directly from folk to rock!
After the audience had this kind of imaginative interpretation, they just felt themselves instantly get hyped up.
"Ah! It feels like two great masters are dueling from afar!"
"The two are sparring with each other, yet they appreciate each other!"
"Wonderful! There is inexplicably a sense of the martial arts world!"
"Masters exchanging moves, how thrilling!"
I have to say... you all have too much imagination!
The reason Luo Mo chose this song had no extra reason; it was only because he wanted to sing this song the most, nothing more.
At the same time, Li Junyi actually has some talent in "Angry Voice"; his throat can sing out a low, roaring feeling, and he also took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to play something different during the final glorious performance.
During "Creating Idols," Luo Mo would take everyone to try something new in every public performance, and he missed this feeling a little.
Wearing a mask to sing this "Fake Monk" is even more inexplicably evocative.
Many listeners, after hearing the lyrics clearly, just felt a current run through their entire bodies.
"I want people to see me, but not know who I am!"
These lyrics paired with "Masked Singer" are just too satisfying!
We stand in the very center of the stage, overcoming obstacles all the way, and even defeating Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens in the grand finale.
This glorious moment is naturally the focus of everyone's attention!
At this moment, countless viewers are watching the live broadcast.
Everyone's eyes are gathered on the two of them.
But they cannot see the faces under the masks; they do not know the true identities of the two.
So what if you are a Heavenly Queen?
You, a dignified Heavenly King, played your cards openly; although you are wearing a mask, isn't it equivalent to revealing your identity to bully others?
Heh, interesting.
Looking at us, we only have two masks and two codenames.
We are nothing but... a Nobody!
………
………
Wearing a mask, "Earth" waved his hand, and under his lead, many audience members at the scene stood up directly to listen to the song.
The lights on the stage gradually brightened, and the areas previously shrouded in darkness began to become visible.
Then, many audience members were stunned.
The professional judges were also left dumbfounded.
"Folk music! There are also traditional musical instruments on the stage!"
"Why is there a guzheng?"
"My god, a combination of rock and folk music!?"
"Can rock music even be fused with folk music?"
Many people only realized it at this moment; no wonder the previous accompaniment made people always feel something was wrong, feeling it was different from listening to rock on ordinary days.
It turns out these folk instruments were hidden and not shown to everyone!
In an instant, many viewers watched with even more enthusiasm.
Nothing else, Yuan Hewen ran into the gun barrel again this time.
Yuan Hewen is famous for writing ancient-style songs, and folk instruments are naturally often used in ancient-style songs.
But the "Close at Hand" written by Yuan Hewen has already lost.
After losing, the other party brought folk music onto the stage.
It became even more interesting all of a sudden, didn't it?
"Haha! Yuan Hewen is also pitiful; first he was crushed by Luo Mo, and now he's being crushed by Earth!"
"Great God Yuan, come out and learn something. Stop trying to latch onto Luo Mo for clout. Look at Earth—straight-up folk music mixed with rock!"
"Ox! That was so satisfying!"
The songwriters on the professional judging panel only felt: "Danger! Our rice bowls are in danger!"
First there was the genius Luo Mo who founded his own school, and now another one has popped up: Earth!
They were all too familiar with this sense of amazement; it felt like a dream back to "King of Love Songs."
On the stage of "King of Love Songs," Luo Mo had also played with fusions several times; for instance, "Nocturne" was a fusion of classical and pop.
"Wait! No! Something is wrong!" A few equally sensitive songwriters suddenly stood up, exactly the same as Lv Yi earlier.
Several people couldn't help but shout at Lv Yi, because the singing on stage was too loud.
"It's him, right!? Earth is him!?"
Lv Yi just laughed out loud, a hearty, unrestrained laugh.
You don't think I'm crazy now, do you?
As for those still kept in the dark, they were completely confused.
Some even thought: "Another one gone crazy?"
……..
……..
The singing continued, and the atmosphere at the venue grew more and more intense.
"【I have these feet, I have these legs,
I have these thousand mountains and ten thousand waters.
I want all of this, everything,
But I don't want hatred or regret!】"
Cui Jian's "Fake Monk" is one of the classics in rock music.
In that era, this song had its own special intent and sentiment.
But for Luo Mo, singing this song on such a stage actually held a different meaning.
It's just that this layer of meaning was destined to be known by no one.
Only Xu Chujing sat in the center of the guest seats; while everyone else was following along, hyped up, and feeling that 【Earth】 had already sung his heart out and was satisfied, she felt... he seemed a little lonely.
Why lonely?
Why would there be loneliness?
Xu Chujing stared deeply at the mask on the stage, looking at that plain, cartoonish face, and she just had this thought that was different from everyone else's.
As the song reached the B-section, the melody of the entire accompaniment began to rise.
The original version of "Fake Monk" is a classic, and there are many popular cover versions as well.
Due to Luo Mo's own unique nature, he fused the ending part of this song, incorporating a portion of the 【Angry Voice】 used by Tan Weiwei in her cover!
In the final part of this song, there were no more lyrics being sung at all, just one single character—【Lei】!
He kept singing it in different tones.
After incorporating the 【Angry Voice】, it sounded very satisfying and cathartic to the listeners.
It was as if everything, every emotion, was being poured out at this very moment!
"So satisfying! This part was so satisfying to listen to!"
"This Angry Voice is ox! I've got goosebumps!"
"Deadly, this voice is incredible, this live singing technique is too strong!"
"Earth! Just how much more do you have hidden!"
"Superstar! Superstar!"
According to the procedure set by the show's production team, the masked Singer performing the glory act is supposed to reveal their face directly during the last segment of the song, that is, in the final few dozen seconds!
This is part of the stage design; revealing one's identity before the song is finished and then continuing to sing with one's real identity makes people feel that the emotion has been further escalated, maximizing the variety show effect!
Under the gaze of the masses, 【Superstar】 sang the Angry Voice with 【Earth】 while directly ripping off the mask he was wearing.
The spotlight shone on him, and it was as if he were truly glowing!
Many people looked at the scene before them, looking at the man before them, and were stunned.
Some didn't expect it to be him, and some didn't know him.
The barrage flooded the screen, and the venue was in an uproar.
"How is it him! It's actually him!"
"My god! Li Junyi! The Superstar is fucking Li Junyi!?"
"Hmm? Why don't I recognize him? Is he a Newcomer?"
"Let me educate you: Li Junyi, under Luo Mo Studio!"
"Heavens! Old viewers of "Creating Idols" suddenly want to cry!"
"I knew it, how could Instructor Luo give up on him?"
At this moment, Tong Shu, who was watching the Live Broadcast, felt his eyes turn a little red.
He watched Li Junyi shining brilliantly on the stage, watched him singing hysterically, watched his incredibly joyful appearance, and felt happy for him.
Don't forget the parting words Brother Mo gave you!
——Go and shine! Go and shine! Go and shine!!!
Some people, because they didn't have the barrage open and also didn't know Li Junyi, still hadn't guessed who the 【Earth】 standing next to him, still wearing a mask, was.
But a large portion of people already knew.
At this moment, the professional judges and the live audience even felt their scalps tingling!
It felt like their brains were about to explode!
Wu Yuefeng and Chun Xiao had ashen faces, especially Wu Yuefeng, whose expression was particularly ugly.
Some audience members at the venue had already started screaming loudly, their voices merging together so that everyone watching the Live Broadcast could faintly hear them.
"Li Junyi!!!"
"Luo Mo!"
"Luo Mo!!!"
The identity of Earth was no longer just about to be revealed.
Amidst the bursts of Angry Voice Singing, Earth still had not taken off the mask, still wearing that face that looked plain and, frankly, not even very good-looking.
On the big screen, however, large characters appeared.
"Fake Monk".
【Lyricist: Luo Mo】.
【Composer: Luo Mo】.
【Arranger: Luo Mo】.
【Singing: Luo Mo, Li Junyi】.
It blew up the whole venue, it blew up the Live Broadcast.
Luo Mo and Earth, the two people merged at this moment.
This intense impact brought the entire program to its absolute peak.
He was not going to unmask.
Many people felt there was no need to unmask.
Or perhaps he was too lazy to unmask.
But in reality?
One only heard Luo Mo singing loudly:
"【Le Le Le!】"
The Angry Voice lasting for dozens of seconds ended at this moment.
The tune of the song returned to the beginning.
Li Junyi put down the microphone, leaving only Earth, wearing the mask, to finish the entire song.
"【I want people to see me.】"
"【I want people to see me.】"
The music stopped at this moment, and the venue began to quiet down.
Luo Mo wore the mask, his gaze burning, looking straight into the camera.
Xu Chujing watched this scene, inexplicably feeling as if her eyes were hallucinating, as if the face on this mask and Luo Mo's face had overlapped.
One was the owner of the white cat in a dream, the other was the person by her side in reality.
This song, Luo Mo intended to sing it to the end wearing this face the whole time, intended to sing it to the end wearing the mask!
Yes, the identity was fully revealed.
Earth was Luo Mo, a Top Traffic, a male star with extremely high National Popularity, known to almost everyone.
In less than a short year, his fame had already become very, very terrifying.
But...
Do you know... do you know
——You know I am Luo Mo!
——But you do not know... I am Luo Mo!
The song ended at this moment.
"【I want people to see me.】"
The camera focused on the mask, focused on this face.
"【But you do not know... who... I am!】"
(PS: Second update. It is recommended to listen to the song while reading; both the original version and the Angry Voice version are fine.)
