Chapter 356: Ahead of the Music Scene by at Least Ten Years

At this very moment, the female Psychologist sat before her computer, unable to stop herself from rubbing her arms, which were covered in goosebumps.

The lyrics from "Nocturne's Seventh Chapter" kept circling in her brain: "【That mocking corner of the mouth turns upward】."

However, even for her, an expert at discerning micro-expressions, she couldn't tell for a moment if this was Luo Mo mocking the world, or... mocking himself?

"Or perhaps both?" she thought.

Admittedly, one could call her a Brain-filler Emperor, or say she was overthinking it.

But isn't being a Psychologist a profession that requires a lot of thinking?

Most importantly... she trusted her own professionalism!

"Dual personality?" She shook her head again.

"It should just be that there is some secret he has already revealed, but everyone is... still kept in the dark, knowing nothing."

The female Psychologist wrapped her White Lab Coat tighter around herself; wearing black silk stockings, she slowly lowered her crossed legs, pushed up her Gold-rimmed Glasses, and said:

"Suddenly, I want to meet him in person even more."

………

"Nocturne's Seventh Chapter" has become a hit.

And it became an explosive hit right after its release.

Regarding the two words "Dark" in the "Dark Trilogy," everyone has their own interpretation.

Some feel the musical style is strange and the Suspense atmosphere is thick, so it is dark.

Others feel it is the collision of good and evil in the lyrics that reveals the dark side.

There are a wide variety of versions just from the analyses online.

But it must be said that the first installment of this "Dark Trilogy"—"Nocturne's Seventh Chapter"—left listeners with an extremely profound first impression.

At the same time, many people couldn't help but think of "Xi."

But the styles of the two songs actually have a huge gap.

Because of the ghost marriage theme, "Xi" gives people the feeling of the underworld.

Art can be down-to-earth, but I didn't expect you to reach the underworld.

The unique dark gothic style of "Nocturne's Seventh Chapter" can be said to be the first of its kind in the Blue Star music scene.

It is equivalent to Luo Mo pioneering yet another brand-new style.

After listening to this song, many people would actually associate it with "Nocturne," which is also placed in the album "Black."

Because both songs actually incorporate elements of classical music.

In "Nocturne," the combination of classical and Rap was refreshing, making people think: "It can be played like this too?"

As it turns out, this time Luo Mo made a move with even more bizarre techniques.

It was straight-up electronic + classical + Rap.

Mentioning classical music, the first word that pops into many people's minds might be elegant.

Good heavens, Luo Mo directly used classical music to play out a style of Suspense, exploration, and the bizarre!

The song had only just been uploaded, and in terms of word-of-mouth, it directly crushed Chen Luo's second new song, "Bird Island."

Is the duet by Chen Luo and Xu Lianying good to listen to?

That is naturally good.

Both of their vocal lines are highly distinctive; Chen Luo's voice is very magnetic, and Xu Lianying's singing is very sweet. This makes the love song sound very comfortable and highly popular.

But "Nocturne's Seventh Chapter" played too big, and the courage was too bold!

This is a highly pioneering song, a masterpiece that dares to be the first!

Although it may not be like "Chinese Style," which directly created a major category and founded a school, it still created a unique new style.

The most terrifying thing is that Luo Mo, this founding master, gives people the feeling of a master of synthesis every time he makes a move.

It seems he is not exploring at all.

He is directly handing you the textbook.

Even many professionals have put out word: "This song is a work ahead of its time, at least ten years ahead of the music scene!"

Since both songs were just uploaded, the battle for the charts on major music platforms cannot be decided for the time being.

Many fans flooded Luo Mo's social media platform, starting to curiously ask him questions.

"Does this song, like 'Fireworks Cool Easily,' also have a backstory?"

"There must be a creative background, right?"

"The 'Dark Trilogy,' this is only the first one; are the next two also in this Suspense style?"

"Why use the name Earth? Is there a special reason?"

Perhaps because the listeners were too enthusiastic, or perhaps Luo Mo had other ideas this time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he posted a Weibo.

It was still his usual pattern, crazily keeping people in suspense.

"This song does indeed have a story, but this story might be... very, very long!"

At the same time, Luo Mo Studio also followed up by posting a Weibo, announcing that an MV would be filmed for this song and released when ready.

In many cases, Singers release the song first, let the heat of the song ferment on its own, and then release the MV to add icing on the cake.

Therefore, everyone should have been used to it.

However, the "Mo-born" fans felt incredibly Surprise.

The reason is simple: because up until now, Luo Mo has not filmed a single MV!

The appearance of the two Weibo posts sparked heated discussions on the internet.

"Ah! Is it finally time to film an MV?"

"Haha, since he's already a mature director, he should be writing, directing, and starring in it himself, right?"

"Good grief, no wonder he hasn't made an MV before and hasn't asked anyone else to film one; it turns out he was thinking about saving money!"

"Luo Mo: MV? Let me practice for a while first!"

At the same time, some people speculated that the story Luo Mo mentioned which might be very long... could it be a novel, or perhaps a script!?

If any other celebrity said they were going to publish a book, everyone's first reaction would be: "Fleecing the fans."

You have to know, a certain well-known crazy female star, the creator of the "Shuang-speak" genre, Shuangzi, even published a book.

But Luo Mo has the foundation of being a screenwriter, so when the time comes, whether it's a novel or a script, it will definitely spark great anticipation from the masses!

This is also one of the reasons why he used the name 【Earth】.

Don't forget he also has the 【Dazao Diqu Jihua】.

Just like on Earth, when many works are written, the worldview background isn't written directly as Earth, but rather some fictional city names, or even planet names.

This is Blue Star, and Luo Mo intends to use 【Earth】 directly as the background world for many of his future works!

Since it is a planet, if there is an East, there must be a West.

Marvel wants to build the 【Marvel Universe】, the country wants to build the 【Fengshen Universe】, and even Happy Twist is working on its own 【Xihong City】.

As for us, let's just build this 【Little Broken Ball】.

………

………

At this moment, in the east of Beijing, a 【Psychologist】 was still brainstorming, even using this to spark quite a bit of inspiration for writing fanfiction.

And in the west of Beijing, a group of songwriters were staring at each other.

Originally, they had gathered together for a meeting.

On Earth, there is an association called the 【Global Chinese Songwriter Association】; I don't know if you have heard of it.

Here on Blue Star, there are even more associations, though their nature is generally not considered official.

Those present here were members of the 【Beijing Songwriter Association】.

The president is the 【Number One Luo Fan】—Lv Yi.

The reason Lv Yi was able to be elected president is mainly because he has appeared on many music variety shows in recent years, earned a lot of money from them, and then frequently treats people to meals, drinks, and sends red envelopes...

This kind of loose organization is a bit like a Penguin group; it's very likely that whoever sends the most red envelopes can become the democratically elected group owner or administrator.

Members of the Beijing Songwriter Association often gather to exchange insights.

It's just that sometimes, they might exchange and exchange until they end up at a bathhouse or a club.

Many people who create art are like this.

Many web novel authors meet offline to exchange insights, and after exchanging for a while, most of them also end up in these places.

Originally, today was very likely to follow this same routine.

However, Luo Mo and Chen Luo both released songs today.

President Lv Yi waved his hand and directly set the theme of today's exchange meeting to "The Seventh Chapter of Night".

As for why it wasn't Chen Luo's "Bird Island"?

"Because I am the president!"

"We'll discuss 'Bird Island' tomorrow!"

Then, a group of songwriters sat together and listened to "The Seventh Chapter of Night" for the first time.

After listening, Lv Yi was still intoxicated by it, shouting "Ox" in his heart, when he immediately noticed that everyone's gaze was focused squarely on him.

"Wha... what's wrong?" President Lv Yi was a bit surprised.

"If I remember correctly, Luo Mo is also from Beijing, right?" someone asked.

"That's right," Lv Yi said.

"My dear President, hurry up and abdicate!" another person said.

"Yeah, Brother Lv, you're hindering our progress!" someone echoed.

"The organization needs talent like Luo Mo—no, a genius!"

Lv Yi: "???"

But in the end, he just smiled and said: "If you weren't praising Luo Mo, I really would be angry!"

He sighed and said: "I don't know how you felt after listening to it, but after I listened to it once, I was amazed."

This evaluation was quickly affirmed by everyone.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the technique.

This group of people all occupy a place in the music scene and are by no means mediocre.

But the more this is the case, the more professional they are, the more profoundly they realize how terrifying this song is!

"For Luo Mo's music, I still use that one word to describe it—extravagant!" Lv Yi said.

It's good enough if others can master one element; how could anyone play like him?

This is truly squandering talent wantonly.

Having talent makes one willful?

Suddenly, Lv Yi had a flash of inspiration and said: "Let's not exchange any insights today; why don't we work together to get the 【Yueqi Guidao】 of this song's composition and strip it down."

"Then we can audition each 【Yueqi】 and 【Yueqi】 group one by one."

"Let's completely dismantle his accompaniment for this song and take a look! How about it!?" Lv Yi's eyes lit up.

Once dismantled like this, what everyone hears won't be the accompaniment sound with all instruments mixed together; for example, one could hear only the piano sound inside, or only the violin sound inside, or mix them together to listen.

Everyone's eyes also lit up at first, but then they reacted and said: "That would be a huge project!"

"Are we doing this or not? Give me an answer!" Lv Yi said.

"We're doing it!"

As it turned out, they were already numb after completing less than a third!

(PS: Second update, requesting monthly votes. Those interested can go directly to Bilibili to search for the breakdown of the accompaniment; the one made by MiDi is excellent. After listening, you might have new feelings about the accompaniment of this song. I'll see if I can post a little something in the Easter egg chapter later.)
