Chapter 362: Dark Trilogy

After hanging up the video call with the Psychologist, Xu Chujing rubbed her temples and then specifically opened the stage performance of Luo Mo's "Fake Monk" to watch it.

Seeing that plain and unremarkable mask again, Xu Chujing still felt a jolt in her heart.

She still held onto her own persistence, feeling that she had discerned a different kind of emotion.

A thousand people at the scene were cheering for him, and countless audience members were applauding him.

Most felt that he was standing at the pinnacle of glory at that moment.

A small minority, however, were consumed by envy and jealousy, hating him to the bone.

The Psychologist, on the other hand, believed... he had a problem.

Only Xu Chujing, when watching it live at the scene, felt that he seemed very lonely.

Now, watching it again in the video, it was the same.

She was likely the only person in the live audience who did not join in shouting the two words "Reveal the mask."

This made her think that Luo Mo should also be releasing the second song of his "Dark Trilogy" soon.

"There is a line of lyrics in this song that left a particularly deep impression on me," she muttered to herself.

………

………

A new week arrived very quickly.

The third round of the arena battle between Luo Mo and Chen Luo was also about to begin.

During this week, the music scene was quite lively.

Tong Shu covered "Fireworks Cool Easily," singing it with his own flavor; the video view count reached the tens of millions across multiple platforms, and it directly pushed this song onto the Hot Search once again.

At the same time, Xinyu was still releasing new songs one after another.

Two-thirds of the songs in the "King of Love Songs" medley had been released by now.

Luo Mo, as the Music Director, had implemented a plan in the company called "One Signature Song for Each Person."

And it must be said, every song became a hit.

For those Singers who were anxious to break through their personal bottlenecks, Luo Mo's songs were that final push.

On this point, Tao Jie, Chen Shanqi, who had been stuck at the First-line Singer level for three years and then another three, had the most say.

Last week, the song released by Xinyu was "Love Me Don't Go," and the response was quite enthusiastic. It successfully rubbed a second-line Singer from Pineapple into the ground.

Judging from the current momentum, Luo Mo was not just battling Chen Luo.

It was more like he was relying on his own strength to fight against all the Singers from the two companies, Pineapple and Cilong.

It even made people feel like he was beating up half the music scene.

So much so that many media outlets began using a new title to describe Luo Mo.

——"The future MusicGodfather"!

For those working in music, this should be one of the highest levels of honor.

Whether it was Huang Xishan or Yuan Hewen, neither was worthy of such a title; they were still lacking somewhat.

They had indeed cultivated Song Kings and Singer Queens, but the numbers were too small.

Only someone who had cultivated several Song Kings and Singer Queens, a large number of First-line Singers, and even carried an entire company forward by their own strength could be worthy of such a title.

Such people, simply put, were very good at promoting others; whoever they wanted to make popular, would become popular.

Without a group of popular Singers under one's command, one simply could not bear such a title.

And Luo Mo already had a faint trend of this!

………

………

On Monday morning, many listeners began waiting for the second installment of Luo Mo's "Dark Trilogy."

"I'm curious; I've already had 'The Seventh Chapter of Night' on Loop for a week."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"God knows how many times I've listened to the song and watched the MV in one go."

"Is the entry point still a detective this time?"

"I bet fifty cents that this song will be very scary!"

In reality, it wasn't just ordinary listeners who were looking forward to it; industry insiders were the same.

In one week, some people believed they had "fully grasped" "The Seventh Chapter of Night."

Many lyricists and composers expressed that they had received infinite inspiration from it and had a Realization of many creative techniques.

——Learned it, learned it!

Of course, when "Chinese Style" first appeared, this group of people shouted the same thing.

During this period, there were indeed some quick-handed people who, in order to ride the wave of popularity, released some songs claiming to be "Dark Style."

But many went completely down the wrong path; the songs released were very unpleasant, extremely eerie, and if listened to in the middle of the night, it was easy to stay awake or even have nightmares.

Many listeners expressed: "It made me want to pee on the spot."

"So annoying, I really want to pin the idiot who wrote this kind of music under the covers and then fart on them."

"The version answer is already laid out there, and a bunch of idiots can't even learn it."

Of course, there were also some smarter lyricists and composers who began studying how to add elements of classical music into pop music.

Especially some composers who were more experienced in string music found it quite handy to operate.

Like Lv Yi, who wrote a semi-finished piece a few days ago and sent it to Luo Mo for appreciation.

After listening, Luo Mo only said one sentence: "Brother Lv, are you interested in coming to my studio to work together?"

He extended the invitation sincerely; Lv Yi was truly very strong in string music.

Lv Yi is a well-known composer after all; he has heard plenty of praise and received many compliments, but at that moment, he still got carried away.

He felt as if he were stepping on clouds, and his footsteps felt weightless as he walked.

In the end, the floating Lv Yi calmed down and said, "I'll finish this song first, then see how the market reacts. If it's really not bad, then I'll have more confidence to follow you, the future MusicGodfather, and work."

"Sure thing." Luo Mo agreed immediately, then added, "As for this 'future MusicGodfather' thing, let's stop saying that."

He is becoming increasingly busy now, and some tasks are gradually becoming impossible for him to handle personally.

He can write songs and music for others, but he doesn't necessarily have the time to be the 【Producer】 of the songs, nor does he have the time to help people record them.

Lv Yi is a good candidate.

At the end of the chat, Lv Yi also asked curiously, "Is your next song still rap?"

"Yeah." Luo Mo gave an affirmative answer.

Not to mention, ever since "Nocturne" and "Chapter Seven of the Night" burst onto the scene, the chaotic Hip Hop circle has actually quieted down a bit.

Now, there aren't as many Hip Hop Singers trying to ride the coattails of his popularity by taking jabs at Luo Mo in their lyrics.

Even though he is not a Hip-Hop Person in the Hip Hop circle, many Hip Hop Singers have started frequently referring to him as one of their own.

They all want to make everyone feel that Luo Mo is actually a member of the Hip Hop circle, making him the biggest Buddha who can hold down the fort!

Who could have imagined that the man once jokingly called the 【King of Pacifying Hip-Hop】 by netizens is now revered as a god by the Hip Hop circle.

As for the side of Magnetic Dragon, it can be said that they have entered a state of highest alert.

At first, no one took the so-called 【Dark Trilogy】 seriously, and even felt that the term looked very "chuunibyou" and was quite off-putting.

But after "Chapter Seven of the Night" went on a killing spree, everyone was afraid that Luo Mo would continue the Myth.

The positioning of Chen Luo's new album, "Too Understand," is that of a love song album.

This time, he really made plans for a life-or-death struggle.

The song to be released next is the title track of this album—"Too Understand."

The entire album is named after this song, not only because Chen Luo personally likes the name, but also because he is most confident in this song.

In his view, this song could rank in the top three among all the songs he has released since his debut.

Of course, a Singer's own opinion is sometimes quite unimportant.

Many Singers have expressed that the songs they thought were trash actually became hits, while the ones they thought could be lead singles often flopped miserably.

However, the creative credits for this "Too Understand" can be said to be incredibly eye-catching.

"【Lyricist: Qian Qinglang.】"

"【Composer: Fu Hong.】"

"【Arranger: Jin Lingling.】"

It can be said that half of Chen Luo's hit songs are the result of the collaboration of these three people.

These three have a very strange characteristic: "Together they are a ball of fire, apart they are three piles of shit."

When the three of them create separately, their level is erratic; occasionally they can produce a hit, but most of the time they flop miserably.

The magical thing is that if the three of them collaborate, they can make up for each other's weaknesses and spark a different kind of fire.

The only drawback is that every time these three collaborate, they will argue for a long time; they curse at each other while working, and it takes at least a month to finish a song, with the longest time being three months.

Therefore, their output when collaborating is actually not high.

If not for these bizarre reasons, the position of Music Director at Magnetic Dragon would not have fallen to Yuan Hewen.

Because the surnames of these three people are Qian (Money), Fu (Wealth), and Jin (Gold), they are also called the 【God of Wealth】 trio by many fans.

It means that if the three of them take a liking to you and are willing to argue for a few months to write you a song, then you can just wait to pick up the money!

Chen Luo being able to become a leading figure of the Golden Generation in the contemporary music scene and being hailed as a top-tier Singer is largely due to these three.

Therefore, when everyone saw this "creative list," they all had only one thought in their minds: "Chen Luo is going to use his ultimate move this time!"

Many people even speculated: "This song likely wouldn't have been released so early."

After all, Chen Luo's status and prestige are there; he probably wanted to firmly suppress Luo Mo in the arena competition before releasing this song.

——Creating a feeling of not having used his full strength.

I'm going easy on you, yet you still can't win.

But who could have imagined that Luo Mo would create a new genre and a new style, pulling off another earth-shattering move!

"To actually be forced by someone at the gaming table to reveal his trump card so early." Everyone was amazed.

In recent years, one can often see people in fan circles shouting a phrase: "The entertainment industry is about to change."

They use this kind of language to praise the stars they like.

But after shouting it over and over, no change was ever seen; instead, these people's idols collapsed faster than anyone else's.

However, many industry insiders have recently really had a feeling that "the music scene is about to change."

Whether it is Luo Mo's new album "Black" or his 【One Person One Signature Song】 plan.

This young man, who is favored by countless people and regarded as the future MusicGodfather of the music scene, has risen too quickly.

With such thoughts in mind, on Monday at noon, after they saw the title of Luo Mo's new song, they couldn't help but be stunned.

This song is called "In the Name of the Father."
