Chapter 351: 《Fireworks Are Easily Cold》(Thanks to

~13 min read 2,537 words

Luo Mo feasted his eyes to his heart's content.

……..

"These legs, this butt, this waist..."

A cheongsam really is a wonderful thing.

Although Xu Chujing had taken the initiative to change into the cheongsam, she didn't say much to Luo Mo, acting as if nothing had happened.

She simply stood beside the three sets of formal wear, letting Luo Mo pick one, and firmly refused to participate in the "My Heavenly Queen Mentor's Miracle Nikki Dress-Up Mini-Game" that Luo Mo had proposed.

"Then let's go with that black sequined long dress," Luo Mo said, pointing to the one in the middle.

"Fine," Xu Chujing nodded and agreed directly.

She didn't go to try it on, but instead sat back down in front of her phone.

As for the cheongsam, one can imagine what kind of tight effect it has when someone with a perky butt and long legs sits down.

After the Heavenly Queen Xu sat down and pulled her chair forward, only half of her body was in the frame.

Xu Chujing brushed all her long hair to one side, looked at Luo Mo, whose gaze in the camera was not quite right, and said with slight Anger: "Where are you looking?"

"Not looking anywhere," Luo Mo feigned ignorance.

I've been under a lot of pressure lately, having to fight Pineapple and fight Cilong, and I feel like the whole world has lost its color. I hope someone can add some color to my world, preferably yellow.

"I always feel like you're thinking about bad things," Xu Chujing said with displeasure, regretting a little that she had changed clothes for him to see.

"Believe me, what's in my head is ten times worse than what you're guessing," Luo Mo said shamelessly.

I already like you mentally; if I didn't crave your body, it would seem a bit disrespectful to it.

Xu Chujing coldly said "Hanging up," and then ended the video call.

She had intended not to pay any more attention to this lecher until she said goodnight tonight, but after thinking about it, she still sent him a WeChat message: "It's obvious that someone is trying to stir up trouble for you online these past few days; keep an eye on it yourself."

"Got it," Luo Mo replied.

………

………

Tomorrow is the day Luo Mo and Chen Luo release their new songs; these past few days, both Cilong and Luo Mo Studio have been heavily promoting their new albums.

Just as Xu Chujing said, Luo Mo has been targeted by people trying to stir up trouble recently.

If nothing unexpected happened, someone must have hired internet trolls.

And... the methods are very dirty.

As everyone knows, there is a saying: "One fan is worth ten haters."

This saying appeared many years ago, back in the era when celebrity "brain-dead" fans were most prevalent; the remarks of these fans were particularly damaging to the public's impression, not only providing no benefit to the stars they liked, but also triggering resentment from many people.

The effect a single "brain-dead" fan can have is indeed truly stronger than ten haters.

Later, many management personnel in fan circles gradually realized this, and now the fans of many Top Traffic stars have started to speak more and more "humbly," with phrases like "thanks for the reminder," "will work twice as hard," and "yes, yes, there are still shortcomings, working on changing them" always on their lips.

But in the infighting between companies and teams, many people began to have a Realization of some crooked paths.

That is, impersonation.

They are clearly haters, clearly out to smear this person, but they disguise themselves as fans, disguise themselves as "brain-dead" fans, and then post all sorts of remarks that make people annoyed just looking at them.

Once a passerby says something unpleasant, these people will transform into mad dogs, using all kinds of profanity and passive-aggressive remarks to escalate the battle.

It looks like they are wholeheartedly defending their Idol, but in reality, they wish for them to die.

Luo Mo has recently encountered this.

Previously, because his personal image was incredibly positive, he didn't have many haters. Many people, while trying to hate on him, kept digging deeper to understand him, and as a result—they became fans!

But who told him his opponent now is Chen Luo?

Who told him to issue a challenge to Chen Luo?

Then, many things become easy to manipulate.

Now, no matter which social platform you open, you can always see some people using the rhetoric of "praising one while stepping on the other," heavily praising Luo Mo while belittling Chen Luo.

This method is mostly used to compare those traffic-driven Singers with truly capable Heavenly Kings and Song Kings, and to mock them heavily.

Like on Earth, Zhou Dong, Fatty Chen, and others were often taken out and used as tools.

Even Xu Song, who only had half a foot in the entertainment industry, was often brought out and used.

The only difference is that Luo Mo is not just a Top Traffic star.

But because the target is Chen Luo, it still has an effect.

Actually, there was no need for Xu Chujing to remind him; the people in Luo Mo Studio aren't just idling away their time, and they had realized this evil wind early on.

It's just that under Luo Mo's instruction, they didn't take any action.

On the side of the "Mo Sheng Ren," several leading big fans issued a few statements.

The content was mostly things like "don't provoke conflict," "don't praise one while stepping on the other," and "don't follow the rhythm."

As for who is hiding in the dark manipulating all this, Luo Mo has a rough idea in his heart.

It might even be that Cilong is doing it themselves!

Chen Luo: I'm hating on myself!

In reality, Chen Luo was indeed aware of this matter and did not stop it.

The person specifically operating this is Cilong's Music Director, Yuan Hewen.

In this day and age, it is an era of information explosion.

The internet can build a golden reputation for someone, and it can also ruin someone's reputation.

The cost of spreading rumors is low, but the cost of refuting them is outrageously high.

Huang Xishan resigned from his position as Music Director at Pineapple early on precisely because he didn't keep up with the times, still only knowing how to bury his head in making music, and after getting older, he regressed significantly.

Yuan Hewen, on the other hand, keeps up closely with the "trends."

"That old geezer is really rotten to the core!"

When Chen Luo asked about this matter, he said directly, "Luozai, this is one of the job responsibilities of my Music Director role, so you don't need to worry about it."

"And you should also understand that for Luo Mo, Chinese Style is his trump card; no one can afford to underestimate it. To put it bluntly, even for you, it's the same, right?"

"This is the first battle, and also the hardest one to fight. Once this one is won, the rest will be easy to handle."

Chen Luo knew very well that Yuan Hewen had been mentally scarred from being remotely crushed by Luo Mo too many times.

Because he lacked confidence in his own music, he had to rack his brains to come up with some off-field tactics.

At the same time, he was definitely the person in the entire Cilong who hated Luo Mo the most.

Luo Mo's 【Chinese Style】 was also his greatest humiliation.

There was no helping it; who told him to brag and act arrogant earlier, relying on his seniority to insist that Luo Mo stood on his shoulders to pioneer Chinese Style?

Therefore, what he wanted to win against most was a Chinese Style song by Luo Mo.

Chen Luo ultimately only said, "Let this be the only time."

As a king of the music scene, he had his own pride and was actually quite resistant to it in his heart.

Yuan Hewen smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "This move can only be used when he is competing against you. If it were Zhao Xueqin competing against him, and this 【praising one while stepping on the other】 tactic was used on the internet, everyone who saw it would only think it was true."

These netizens aren't wrong, right? 【Music Critic Master】 Zhao Xueqin is indeed inferior to Luo Mo; is there a problem with that?

It is only because it is Chen Luo that it gives people a bit of a feeling of "the subordinate offending the superior."

Chen Luo gave a dry laugh; he had long been immune to this kind of low-level flattery.

But to say he felt absolutely no pressure facing Luo Mo's new Chinese Style song would definitely be a lie.

He also knew very well that Yuan Hewen's approach was effective.

Before people listen to a song, if they have a certain degree of resistance toward the person, they will more or less deduct points in their hearts when listening.

And Chen Luo, naturally, is the one everyone feels sorry for and sympathizes with!

Relying on self-deprecating tactics to increase fan stickiness.

The fans were heartbroken: "How unlucky to run into fans of someone like Luo Mo!"

【Strangers】: "Meow meow meow?"

The day of the song release finally arrived.

Before twelve o'clock noon, 【Music God】 was already waiting for the first-hand news.

Over at Penguin Music, they had already been promoting the new song since last night.

Clicking into the new song preview, one could see a few sentences.

"Seeing 'Black', what will you think of?"

"Night, darkness, black?"

"Or stars, the moon, fireflies?"

"And I, will think of—fireworks."

When Music God saw these few sentences, she was slightly stunned: "So, the theme of Luo Mo's new Chinese Style song this time is 【Fireworks】?"

Yes, but not entirely.

Girls, after all, it's very normal to like fireworks.

Once Music God thought of brilliant fireworks, she would instinctively link them to romance, love, beauty, and the like.

"If it's fireworks in the dark night, it does indeed fit the album title 'Black'," Music God thought to herself.

As for the rhythm being stirred up on the internet, Music God had also seen it.

She was a well-known music critic herself and could be considered an insider; she had seen these kinds of tactics too often and was somewhat unfazed by them.

"Not responding is also quite good; musicians should let their music do the talking," she said in her heart.

And at nine o'clock this morning, Penguin Music had already officially announced the title of Luo Mo's first new song.

——"Fireworks Cool Easily".

"'Fireworks Cool Easily', feels a bit literary," Music God thought to herself.

What she was more curious about now was that Luo Mo Studio had previously said that when releasing the first song, they would adopt a mode never used before, and one could keep an eye on Luo Mo's personal Weibo.

"Could it be....... he is finally going to film an MV?" Music God's saliva flowed down from the corner of her mouth uncontrollably.

She was craving his looks!

"Ding!" Music God's phone chimed at this moment.

She opened it and saw a friend reminding her: "Luo Mo posted on Weibo!"

Music God immediately opened Luo Mo's Weibo and was surprised to find that this time it was actually a long Weibo post in the form of images.

She took a rough look first, then felt a slight shock in her heart: "This is........ a story script!?"

As a music critic, she knew very well that many ancient-style songs would specifically write a story script, which is equivalent to the creative background of the entire song.

Even the song "Red Actor" actually had a story. The shadow puppetry performance Luo Mo did while singing on the stage of "Creating Idols" was his own personal stage creation based on this foundation.

"A Chinese Style song, paired with a story........ very interesting!" Music God's eyes lit up, and she began to read carefully.

The story was titled "Galan Rain".

Luo Mo posted a total of six images of text; she looked at the first text image first.

This was the prologue of the story.

"【Luoyang City, Embroidery Workshop.

The Seven-Sleeve girl had reached the age for marriage. Watching her sisters leave the Embroidery Workshop one by one and find their own destinations, she felt so envious.

"I heard that the Jialan Temple outside the city has flourishing incense, the monks in the temple are highly skilled in martial arts, and drawing lots before the Buddha statue is even more efficacious. Why not go up the mountain to pray for a marriage?" the Seven-Sleeve girl thought to herself."

Early the next morning, she got up very early to go up the mountain to draw a lot.

At this time, the monks were doing their morning exercises, practicing martial arts in front of the temple.

The Youth abbot stood on the steps, his expression serious and meticulous, correcting the disciples who were practicing martial arts.

Seven-Sleeve looked carefully through the morning light at the young monk wearing a kasaya.

Seeming to sense Seven-Sleeve's gaze, the Youth abbot turned his head and said to her, "Female benefactor, please wait a moment for offering incense and drawing lots."

Seven-Sleeve stared fixedly at him; as a dancer from the Xiu Workshop, she was naturally lively and straightforward. After staring for a long time, she smiled and said in an extremely sincere and earnest tone, "Master, you look really good!"

From then on, she often went up the mountain to find the Youth abbot to draw lots.

But she changed her mind; every lot she drew was not for marriage.

………

The dust before the Buddha statue was swept away and covered again, and the sound of chanting ceased and returned.

Time flew by, and Seven-Sleeve always came so frequently.

Qixiu came: "Master! This year at the Luoyang dance competition, our Embroidery Workshop took the top prize!"

The Master did not answer: "…….."

Two days later, Qixiu came again: "Master, wait until I buy a big fan, I will perform Dancing for you!"

The Master still did not answer: "…….."

Three days later, Qixiu: "Master, I am now more familiar with the road to Jialan Temple than the Embroidery Workshop!"

The Master: "…….."

Buddhist principle—【Heart Like Still Water】.

"Master…….." The young girl's voice arrived again.

The monk looked up.

That day, Qixiu was in red like fire, as beautiful as peach blossoms.

"I am getting married."

For some unknown reason, the Buddhist prayer beads scattered all over the ground:

"Amitabha."

…….

Prologue ends.
