Chapter 353: Everything Can Be Chinese Style

After finishing Luo Mo's Weibo post, the eyes of Leshen turned slightly red.

"This is a bit of a mental breakdown," Leshen couldn't help but say.

In an instant, she felt a bit angry again.

"It's one thing to stab people in the heart with your dramas, but you're doing it with your songs too!?"

"Too much, this is too much!"

Leshen kicked her leg in anger, but due to her sitting posture and her long legs, her knee hit the table.

That did it; she went straight from slightly moist eyes to streaming tears.

"Ouch... ouch..." Leshen held her knee, rubbing it gently.

But soon, she remembered something.

She picked up her phone and took a selfie, capturing her tear-streaked, pear-blossom-in-the-rain appearance.

Immediately after, she began editing the photo with extremely practiced technique.

Satisfied, she posted the selfie to Weibo with the caption: "《Galan Rain》 is too moving, sob sob sob."

These days, even crying has become a rat race.

Today is indeed a rare and grand occasion in the music scene.

The top five spots on the Hot Search lists of all major platforms have been occupied by the music scene.

To be precise, they have been occupied by Luo Mo and Chen Luo.

Regrettably, Chen Luo's album 《Too Understand》 and his first song 《Turning Around》 did not reach the top.

The number one Hot Search entry is 《Fireworks Cool Easily》, the second is 《Galan Rain》, and the third is 《Black》!

——The traffic has exploded!

Clicking on Luo Mo's Weibo, the comments below are all scolding him.

"I had an intuition before clicking that I would definitely be stabbed, but my hands just couldn't help themselves!"

"Blade-Blade Luo, you have no heart!"

"Sob sob sob, I've even thought of a couple name for the master and the dancing girl; let's call it Buddha Embroidery."

"Listening to the song while looking at the story, it feels even sadder all of a sudden."

Many people read the story while listening to the song, and they instantly became hooked on it.

On Earth, 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 was included in Zhou Dong's album 《Cross Era》. It seemed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of Zhou Dong's debut, and using the title 《Cross Era》 for the album actually reflected his ambition and... that 'dia' character he once loved most.

Yes, this fat man who now likes to drink milk tea and whose favorite color is pink once filmed calligraphy in an MV, insisting on writing the character 'dia'.

At that year's Golden Melody Awards, 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 was shortlisted for both Best Lyricist and Best Composer.

For Fang Wenshan, the lyrics of this song are also one of his personal favorites.

In 《Blue and White Porcelain》, there are the "three 're's," and those three 're' characters are the finishing touch.

In 《Fireworks Cool Easily》, it is the "three 'deng's."

As for 《Lanting Preface》, it is the "three 'yuan's."

And in reality, the composition of this song is also terrifying.

Music critics like Leshen were stunned after listening to it.

"It's one thing for Luo Mo, this founding patriarch, to establish his own school, but he keeps broadening the boundaries of Chinese Style!"

"This song is still composed primarily using the five-tone scale, yet it actually contains a large number of semitones!"

"While others haven't even mastered the 'gong, shang, jue, zhi, yu' notes, this grandmaster has already started playing with new tricks."

"But I have to say, the effect is great; the whole piece gives one a feeling of being very listenable and full of charm."

In fact, why didn't Luo Mo write a specific background story when releasing songs like 《Blue and White Porcelain》 or 《East Wind Breaks》?

Why did he only do it when releasing 《Fireworks Cool Easily》?

One reason is that he wanted to try a new tactic, and the other is that many people might find 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 a bit strange at first listen.

The reason lies in the special composition, vocal style, and so on.

But after listening to it more, one finds it sounds better and better, and becomes more and more addictive.

Honestly, this song wasn't actually that explosive back then. Instead, it became more popular as time went on.

Of course, controversy was also a major reason, as many people love to compare Lin Zhixuan's cover of 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 with Zhou Jielun's original, often leading to arguments.

Recently, the cover of 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 by Zhou Shen has also been quite popular.

Luo Mo specifically wrote the story of 《Galan Rain》 to increase the listeners' sense of immersion.

Now it seems the effect is quite good.

After posting on Weibo, Leshen put 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 on loop for three more times to conceive the music review she was about to write.

But the result was—the more she listened, the more alarmed she became.

"Why? Why is there not a single Chinese classical Yueqi in the accompaniment!?"

"Yet, from beginning to end, I feel that this is a Chinese Style song, a song that perfectly embodies the charm of Huaxia!"

"How was it done? How was this done?"

Many listeners are not very sensitive to Yueqi when listening to songs, nor do they try to distinguish which ones are used in the accompaniment.

Therefore, perhaps many people have listened to 《Fireworks Cool Easily》 over a hundred times and still assume that the accompaniment is dominated by traditional Chinese Yueqi.

In fact, it is not!

"Perhaps, this is also the charm of Huaxia culture." Leshen suddenly thought of some things her teacher said about the basic characteristics of Huaxia culture back when she was in school.

That is, what were called "knowledge points" back in school.

The kind that needs to be highlighted.

"Huaxia culture is long-standing and well-established, yet it possesses a unique inclusiveness, namely seeking common ground while reserving differences and drawing on the strengths of others." The Music God can still recite this sentence by heart even now.

But she never expected that what would make her suddenly recall this sentence after graduation was actually a song!?

But it is interesting to say that Huaxia just has a magical power.

Foreign food can be tinkered with to have a flavor with distinct Huaxia characteristics, and eight times out of ten, it will even taste better...

Foreign festivals can also be celebrated with one's own unique characteristics.

And Luo Mo's "Fireworks Cool Easily" proves that foreign Yueqi can also work.

After creating in the mode of Chinese Style, there is quite a feeling that everything can be Chinese Style!

The Music God feels that she will use this core as a train of thought to write a music review.

She didn't write too many words, just over 800.

Once published, it left many netizens stunned.

"Ah? No Huaxia Yueqi? I didn't notice it at all!"

"Speechless, then how did this charm come about?"

"Amazing! Can it actually be played like this?"

"My wife is European and is a Huaxia daughter-in-law. I just let her listen to it once, and she was stunned, feeling it was incredible."

"Couldn't tell at all, Luo Mo really knows how to play!"

"The national is the world's, and the world's... can also be the national!"

………

………

"Fireworks Cool Easily" triggered a sensation across the entire internet; as for Chen Luo's side, the momentum was also massive.

As soon as the first song of the new album, "The Corner", was released, the download and streaming counts soared crazily, directly breaking the records of multiple platforms.

This song became the 【Fastest Song to Reach One Million Downloads】 and the 【Fastest Song to Reach Ten Million Streams】.

In this, Yuan Hewen can be said to have made an indelible contribution.

After all, having abused the fans before, it made Chen Luo's fans hold their breath; this time, it was an organized and disciplined group rush to the charts, and together they created a new record!

That is to say, as soon as the song was released, Chen Luo's fans swarmed in.

This also caused the song to Air Drop to the top of the Hot Song Chart, achieving dominance over three charts: the 【New Song Chart】, the 【Surging Chart】, and the 【Hot Song Chart】.

And Luo Mo's "Fireworks Cool Easily" is temporarily ranked second, with all data points only two-thirds of Chen Luo's.

But... it is catching up very quickly!

The streaming and download counts of "Fireworks Cool Easily" have been surging, and the data is growing faster and faster.

Everyone's love for Chinese Style has not ceased in this year's time!

To be precise, it is the love for Luo Mo's Chinese Style!

In this year, a large number of Singers have also released Chinese Style songs.

But it's strange, many songs give people the feeling of: "Forced Chinese Style."

Simply put, it lacks that flavor.

Some people force obscure vocabulary and force folk stories.

Some people learn from Luo Mo to add some Opera Singing, but it sounds very unprofessional, thinking that adding some Opera Singing makes it Chinese Style.

The founder set a good example, but the followers can't even learn it well.

The textbook has already been compiled for you, yet you just can't learn it.

This phenomenon means that although new Chinese Style songs can be seen everywhere in the music scene, it has not diminished everyone's expectations for Luo Mo.

Instead, the calls for him to write more have become even louder because of it.

Sigh, of the world's total talent for Chinese Style, Luo Mo possesses twelve dou, while the rest of the world owes me two dou!

On Yuan Hewen's side, he was originally still expecting to rely on some previous underhanded tricks to ruin everyone's good impression of Luo Mo.

But good heavens, this person directly released a story and made everyone cry.

After crying, the emotions were all vented out!

As for those that weren't vented, they chased after Luo Mo to scold him; after scolding, they felt satisfied, and instantly... felt comfortable.

But fortunately, as of now, Chen Luo is worthy of being Chen Luo; the advantage is still there.

It's just that... the advantage is gradually shrinking!

"Although it's only slightly suppressing Luo Mo, it is still suppressing him," Yuan Hewen thought to himself.

The most important thing is that, in his view, Luo Mo has already thrown out the trump card of his new album.

He is about to run out of steam.

And the songs in an album influence each other; if the subsequent songs are all very good, the songs released earlier will also become more popular.

"Chen Luo is the ceiling of the current music scene."

"Luo Mo, you are still a bit short of the ceiling," Yuan Hewen thought.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that "Fireworks Cool Easily" briefly surpassed "The Corner" on the chart.

Then, it was surpassed back by "The Corner".

For a time, there was a strong sense of chasing each other.

Within the industry, many people actually thought to themselves: "If 'The Corner' wasn't Chen Luo's song, it really might not have been able to beat 'Fireworks Cool Easily'."

As the ceiling of the current music scene, the advantage Chen Luo carries himself is too great.

However, everyone also knows very well that this is just the first round of the tournament.

The battle of the albums has only just begun.

What remains to be seen next is whether the rest of the songs can coordinate with the previously released songs to land a combination punch!

Next Monday, Chen Luo is set to release a duet song.

It's just that this time, Heavenly King Chen seems determined to suppress Luo Mo; this duet song actually breaks his usual habit, as he did not adopt the "Old Leading the New" model to bring along a junior Singer from the same company, but instead chose to sing a duet with the Heavenly Queen-level Singer Xu Lianying.

Yes, that is the "Queen of Love Songs" Xu Lianying, who was invited by Zhao Xueqin to the Semi-finals of the King of Love Songs, only to be defeated by Luo Mo and Xu Chujing.

Therefore, in the eyes of many, this is also Xu Lianying's revenge against Luo Mo.

Upon seeing the teaser for this new song, many people just felt numb.

"How is this still winnable? Unless Luo Mo invites Xu Chujing again! And releases a duet song too!"

The result is... she came!
