Chapter 349: Starting Off with a [Chinese Style]

Chen Luo, the leading figure of the Golden Generation in the music scene.

His first album ranked first in annual sales, making him the first Newcomer King in the history of the Chinese music scene to suppress the entire industry the moment he debuted.

Luo Mo's first solo album, "Red," recreated this grand spectacle.

Therefore, last year, people often compared the two albums of these two individuals together.

However, because Luo Mo also used the album "Red" to pioneer a brand-new Chinese Style genre, this album shone even more brilliantly.

In his second year after debuting, Chen Luo won the Annual Best Male Singer at the Golden Melody Awards and was crowned Song King.

In his third year, he successfully took home the Best Male Singer at the Hua Ge Award.

With the dual identity of Song King, he achieved the status of a Heavenly King in the music scene.

Those three years could be said to have been under the rule of Chen Luo across the entire music scene.

Later, although Xu Chujing emerged abruptly and defeated Chen Luo in a head-to-head competition, she still lost more than she won.

Up until now, the honors Chen Luo has reaped are truly too many, so many that they are uncountable.

It can be said that for Cilong to have its current status, Chen Luo has made an indispensable contribution.

At the same time, the traditional "Old Leading the New" method of playing at Cilong was also initiated by him.

For every album, he would specifically reserve one duet song to help lead the new, cutting-edge singers in the company, raising their status and driving traffic for them.

When Wu Yuefeng first debuted, Chen Luo had led him.

Therefore, he is not just simply the top brother of Cilong.

To this day, in the "Total Ranking of Singer Song Downloads" compiled by major music platforms, Chen Luo ranks first.

In these past few years, he could be called the world-recognized iconic figure of the Chinese music scene.

If it were said that Blue Star also had an honor like "Song God," the candidate everyone would think of first would mostly be Chen Luo.

At this moment, Xu Chujing glanced at Luo Mo, and upon hearing that he wanted to take the initiative to challenge Chen Luo, she asked, "Just because I lost to him on my last album?"

Luo Mo nodded and said, "Yeah. And didn't you just analyze the situation for me? I can't escape it, can I?"

For Cilong, the explosive popularity of Chen Luo is half the history of Cilong's rise.

This is how Cilong gradually came to dominate the music scene and become a behemoth in the industry.

Now, Luo Mo's momentum is even fiercer than Chen Luo's was back then.

How could they possibly sit by and do nothing?

Xinyu can replace Pineapple's position in the music scene, but that is all it can do. This is the limit of Cilong's patience.

The position of industry leader must not be threatened!

Most importantly, most singers have a golden period.

That is to say, during a certain period of time, this singer will be particularly fierce.

Luo Mo is currently unstoppable and sharp; striking him now can shatter his momentum.

It's like marching into battle; those who have never lost always have an air of "Heaven is first, I am second," and they fight with incredible ferocity.

But if they lose once, the person might change.

Why do many people like to use the word "spirit" when describing creation?

Some things are indeed related to the state of mind.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing pondered for a moment and said, "Have you really thought it through?"

"I have already decided," Luo Mo said, looking into Xu Chujing's eyes.

Since his own Cat lost a fight outside, as the owner, he has to be tough for once.

What's more, he has infinite confidence in his own album, "Black."

Xu Chujing nodded and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Hearing this, Luo Mo said in a deep, serious voice, "Actually, there really is."

Seeing his solemn expression, Xu Chujing immediately asked, "What kind of help?"

It looked like something of great importance.

Luo Mo frowned slightly, his expression determined, and his voice rang out powerfully, "I believe in fate. Would you be willing to wear a cheongsam just for me to wish me a victory at the start?"

After speaking, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he kept saying, "You can pair it with silk stockings."

"Hmm—actually, not wearing stockings, bare legs are fine too."

"But you must wear high heels; consider it... wishing me to be at the peak, at the summit, and achieve a victory at the start! Yes, yes, yes, that sounds like a good omen."

"And also, also..."

Xu Chujing picked up a chicken wing from the dining table, stuffed it directly into Luo Mo's mouth, and said, "Shut up."

………

………

The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Mo Studio released news across the entire web, telling everyone that their boss's second solo album would release its first song on the Monday of the week after next.

This time, a different song-releasing mode will be adopted; everyone can keep an eye on Luo Mo's personal Weibo at that time.

And the genre of the first song of the new album is—the long-awaited new Chinese Style song!

In an instant, Luo Mo's fans exploded.

"Ahhh! The second album is finally coming!"

"I knew it, with so many songs, how could he have a difficult birth!"

"Actually, I don't think Luo Mo would have a difficult birth; he would just be conflicted, not knowing how to choose."

"I just checked, I've already listened to 'Nocturne' 330 times, and I've finally waited for the whole album!"

"It's really like the New Year; filming a drama with Xu Chujing, and now releasing a new album, and it's a new Chinese Style song right off the bat!"

"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, looking forward to it!"

As for the people in the music scene, there was only one thought in their minds: "Run!"

That man is finally releasing his second album; this time slot belongs to him, let's not go looking for death.

Then, they went to check the calendar to see what date the Monday of the week after next was, what was it again?

"July 19th, why does this date look a bit familiar?" everyone thought.

When everyone realized it, they couldn't help but gasp.

"July 19th, isn't that the day Chen Luo is releasing his new album!?"

"Crazy! It's truly crazy!"

In the various group chats within the industry, a heated discussion was immediately sparked.

Ever since Luo Mo burst onto the scene, he had indeed always been the talk of the town, the main subject of discussion.

It's funny to think about it, but just last year everyone was still discussing: "With this level of popularity, who in the music scene can suppress him?"

The conclusion reached at that time was: "Unless Chen Luo and Xu Chujing release new albums, otherwise, whoever touches Luo Mo's 'Red' will die!"

But who would have thought that less than a year later, Luo Mo and Chen Luo would actually clash?

The most important thing is that it was Chen Luo's side that first announced the release date for his new album.

Luo Mo knew full well that Chen Luo was releasing songs on July 19th, yet he actually chose this time.

"How does he dare!?"

"Taking the initiative to challenge Chen Luo's stage, there's a good show to watch."

"Actually, no one wants to miss the Shuji Dang; these two albums will at most be staggered for a bit, but there will definitely be an overlap in time."

"That's right, after all, they aren't releasing all ten songs at once; they are all aiming to occupy the charts for a while longer, it's good enough if they can release a few songs a week. The Shuji Dang is only so long, they are bound to collide."

"Unless Luo Mo avoids the battle, but he is fierce; instead of avoiding it, he just charged in with one wave!"

But the opponent is Chen Luo, it's Chen Luo!

Wang Shisong of Pineapple felt incredibly complicated after learning this news.

For a moment, he didn't know how to describe his current feelings.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Luo Mo's habitual arrogance toward him was somewhat acceptable.

He wasn't just arrogant toward him, not just targeting him, or just offending him.

——He is truly lawless!

Yes, you are indeed hotter and fiercer than Chen Luo was when he first debuted.

However, this is only your second album.

Admittedly, most singers' paths to fame involve something similar to 【Slaughtering Gods to Prove the Path】.

With your first album "Red", you slaughtered an Ordinary Heavenly King, Zhao Xueqin.

But for your second, you've set your sights on the number one person of the Golden Generation of the music scene; isn't the leap a bit too big?

At the same time, Pineapple has dealt with Cilong many times; there has been cooperation and hostility between the capital, so Wang Shisong understands the tactics of Cilong very well.

He knows very clearly that Chen Luo's album is aimed at Luo Mo.

It looks like he isn't targeting him, but that's only how it looks on the surface.

Who knows, they might have even prepared the press releases behind the scenes.

Whether Luo Mo challenges him or avoids the battle, a pile of smear articles will be released.

"Eighty percent, they've prepared for both scenarios," Wang Shisong guessed.

"If it were me, I would do the same," he said in his heart.

But to directly confront him head-on, not even staggering the time by a single day, releasing songs at the same time to compete for the charts, really leaves no room or retreat.

The main thing is that he used his ultimate move right from the start, going straight for a new Chinese Style song.

If he loses this, he, the founder of Chinese Style, will fall from the altar.

At that time, there will inevitably be talk everywhere: "Throughout this whole year, the seemingly unstoppable Chinese Style was actually just because it hadn't met Chen Luo."

This approach also makes many people feel that although Luo Mo is daring, he is still very afraid of Chen Luo, which is why he chose to open the situation with Chinese Style.

But is that really the case?

Only Luo Mo himself knows that.

Actually, his idea is very simple.

After all, the opponent is Chen Luo, so he really made very thorough preparations this time.

In this album, some things are too 【new】; people might have never heard or seen them before.

He feels it's not great to start with something so fresh.

Therefore, start with a 【Chinese Style】 that everyone is more familiar with to pave the way.

Looking at Cilong, they were caught off guard by Luo Mo.

Good grief, we wanted to stage a passive play, but the other side took the initiative directly.

Chen Luo even had a feeling of being in another lifetime; it had been many years since someone had come to challenge him like this.

When Yuan Hewen heard it was a Chinese Style song, this Music Director who had suffered quite a bit of "humiliation" because of Chinese Style felt that the time had come.

"Luozai, Chinese Style is Luo Mo's biggest Killer, he likely brought out the first lead single of the album directly," Yuan Hewen said.

"In other words, the first battle is the hardest one to fight."

"But we only need to win the first battle, and the rest will be easy."

But his studio said they would use a new song release model this time; what exactly is it?

(PS: First update, seeking monthly tickets!

Also, I'm not pretending anymore, I'll show my cards, I am one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of China Literature Group in 2021.

Luo Mo became a Heavenly King in over half a year, and I've been publishing this book for over half a year, it's the same.)
