Chapter 334: Music Director Shows Off His Great Power
"Forgetting Time," a theme song for *Sword and Fairy 3* sung by Hu Ge.
Truth be told, back in the day, aside from singing a few songs while acting, Old Hu had also released an album as a Singer, and then... well, there was no "then."
Hmm, better to focus on acting.
In the music scene, Old Hu's achievements aren't considered high, but the songs he sang in the *Sword and Fairy* series are, for many people, a total nostalgia trip.
Recently, "Fingerprint," which he sang for *Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky*, has become popular again, hitting the charts on major music platforms.
Strictly speaking, "Forgetting Time" can be considered a classic song, but it is certainly still a fair distance away from those top-tier songs.
However, it doesn't matter.
The song "End of the World" that Wu Yuefeng is about to release isn't the lead single of his album anyway!
As mentioned before, he took advantage of the gaps in Luo Mo's filming schedule to release several songs from the album early; the lead singles have already been released.
According to the positioning given by the company, "Close at Hand" is a duet song used to promote the company's "junior sister," a case of Old Leading the New. Thus, "End of the World," as the brother piece to "Close at Hand," is definitely at most a mid-tier horse in the album.
Luo Mo has the support of his own popularity, and because his identity as 【Earth】 has been exposed, he is currently at the very center of a whirlpool of heat.
Coupled with everyone's strong anticipation for the *Sword and Fairy* series and their trust in Luo Mo, a single "Forgetting Time" is more than enough to dampen Wu Yuefeng's spirit.
When Sunday arrived, Luo Mo uploaded "Forgetting Time" directly, not bothering with how high the song could climb on the charts, but instead pouring all his energy into the post-production of *Sword and Fairy: Jingtian Chapter*.
At the same time, when he had some free time, he also began planning the songs for his second album, *Black*.
"Nocturne" and "Maple" are both to be included.
This album also follows the 10-song format; he still needs to carefully consider what the other eight will be.
"Too many songs, so annoying." Luo Mo started to humble-brag.
The battle for the song charts had no suspense.
"Forgetting Time" took the lead, crushing "End of the World" on the New Song Chart.
Yuan Hewen and Wu Yuefeng were actually both a bit unconvinced, feeling that Luo Mo's song was only able to crush them due to the support of various trends.
But the outcome had been decided, and all of this was no longer important.
In the afternoon, President Chen of Magnetic Dragon called both Yuan Hewen and Wu Yuefeng into the office for a small meeting.
As soon as they walked into the office, they discovered that the Heavenly King Chen Luo was also there.
No matter how much of a cold and aloof image Wu Yuefeng cultivated in front of outsiders, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his boss and the company's top star.
Chen Luo is hailed as the number one male Singer of the current Golden Generation in the music scene, absolutely not someone he can compare to.
Even Xu Chujing, when releasing songs in the same period as Chen Luo, loses more often than she wins.
In his early years, Chen Luo was also the type who was cocky and arrogant. Recalling every era of the music scene, the leaders of different types seem to be mostly those with strong personalities.
But after reaching middle age, Chen Luo became much more steady, and the whole person gave off the feeling of a "nice guy."
He is a top Heavenly King, after all; he is fawned over wherever he goes, and he doesn't run into many blind fools anymore.
President Chen of Magnetic Dragon looked at Wu Yuefeng and Music Director Yuan Hewen and said, "Sit."
"Want some Coffee?" he asked again.
Both shook their heads.
President Chen continued, "I called you here today to discuss matters regarding Luo Mo."
When Wu Yuefeng heard this name, he felt incredibly uncomfortable in his heart; he felt like he was currently allergic to Luo Mo.
President Chen glanced at the two and said, "As for the songs to be released next, my meaning is to release them as normal."
"There is no need to avoid him, nor is there any need to fear him."
"Winning or losing is one thing, but fear is another."
"Even if this album makes us look a bit bad in terms of Face, it doesn't matter; we'll just win back our standing with the next one."
"Money will still be earned as usual, and it won't be that much less, right?" President Chen squinted his eyes and smiled, gently patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, and said, "You say a few words?"
Chen Luo chuckled along and said, "Fengzai, it's very normal to have wins and losses. Look at me, I've debuted for so many years, haven't I lost a few times too?"
Because of his birthplace, Chen Luo especially loves to add the word "zai" when calling people.
Wu Yuefeng opened his mouth several times, but in the end, he hesitated to speak.
He knew very well that his own boss and the company's top star had almost the exact opposite temperament to Wang Shisong of Pineapple.
If it were President Wang, he would probably already be furious, spraying everyone, and then directly sending Chen Luo to have a big fight with Luo Mo.
If Wu Yuefeng can't beat him, let Chen Luo go! Can't kill you?
I think you've turned the world upside down!
Yuan Hewen, who had the look of a private advisor, raised his sharp, long chin, which had a large mole, and said, "President Chen, Luozai, the expansion momentum of New Yu and Luo Mo Studio is very fierce."
President Chen waved his hand and said, "We will discuss this slowly in meetings, slowly deliberate; there's no need to rush, there will always be a way, right?"
He patted Chen Luo on the shoulder again and said, "Luozai, just continue preparing your album, and when the time comes... we'll see how the situation is."
He didn't explicitly say he wanted Chen Luo to compete with Luo Mo; stability was the first priority.
First, make the album well, and see if he is in peak condition before saying anything else.
Just like no Actor dares to say that every movie they film will be a big hit, a Singer cannot guarantee that every album will be at their personal peak.
One can only say that an awesome Singer, even if an album misses the mark, is still more awesome than the vast majority of people.
So, let's wait and see.
If he is... who would a Chen Luo in peak condition need to fear?
Time pushed forward another week, and the post-production and promotion of *Sword and Fairy: Jingtian Chapter* were advancing in an orderly manner.
The money spent on special effects for this *Chinese Paladin* is significantly more than for *Chinese Paladin 1*.
After all, the power system of *Chinese Paladin 1* is much lower than that of *Chinese Paladin 3*.
If someone of Mozun Chonglou's level were to rush into *Chinese Paladin 1*, he would truly press the head of the Moon Worshipping Cult Leader into the ground and ask, "I heard you insist on proving the world is round?"
Once the power system is high, many grand scenes become unavoidable.
Honestly, the special effects of *Chinese Paladin 3* on Earth are still considered quite decent even when viewed today.
Back then, they really put a lot of heart into the special effects.
Luo Mo is wealthy and bold anyway, and he is very willing to spend money. He does not worry that *Jingtian Arc* won't sell for a good price; Vice President Cheng Wen of Penguin Video has already tipped him off that the price is very high!
As for the broadcast rights for television stations, Luo Mo still gave priority consideration to Octopus TV.
This made Station Chief Xu Guan breathe a sigh of relief; he could finally sleep soundly.
"They all say Luo Mo is someone who remembers favors and cherishes old friendships; they were right," Xu Guan sighed in his heart.
By the weekend of the new week, *This Life Unchanged* by Vitality Locomotive was also uploaded to Penguin Music.
This insert song from *Chinese Paladin 3* was sung by Green Bird and Fish on Earth, and one of them even directly participated in *Chinese Paladin 3*, playing a character some people still remember and others may have long forgotten: He Biping.
A small character with a huge contrast between his beginning and end.
After releasing this song, Luo Mo does not intend to release any more songs from the show for promotion; other songs will be released after the show airs.
A song like *Partiality* was extremely popular back then, playing in every street and alley, and it has suddenly surged in popularity again in the last two years, becoming a hit several more times due to the support of various factors.
However, this does not mean that Luo Mo Studio and Xinyu will not be releasing songs in the near future.
Luo Mo does not intend to poach talent from Pineapple; he just wants to push down Pineapple's entire wall.
Then, he will just target their Singers.
A new summer is about to arrive.
The accounts that weren't settled at the end of last summer should be settled this year.
"Isn't the second season of *King of Love Songs* by Ke Ming currently in preparation?"
"It just so happens that the medley *King of Love Songs* was also bought by him with money."
"It is time to produce some songs for *King of Love Songs*."
"Although Pineapple is the weakest of the four major companies in the music scene, one should still show them some respect."
"How about... starting with a small batch of fifteen songs?"
(PS: Second update, asking for double monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
