Chapter 366: He Is the MusicGodfather

Yes, for many people, this kind of confidence from Luo Mo is truly approaching the point of arrogance.

Yet, he is the one who actually pulled it off.

You have to realize, this time he took the initiative to challenge Chen Luo.

His starting point was: "Since I am constantly annoyed by people jumping out one after another to stir up trouble, I might as well just take down what you consider the best."

People in the Beijing Songwriter Association are very clear about this, and Luo Mo naturally knows that this week he will be facing the title track from the album "Too Understand".

It is the pride and joy of Chen Luo and the God of Wealth Trio.

Under these circumstances, he dares to bring out a song with a minute-and-a-half-long intro to challenge them; what kind of mentality is this?

Although you have already released the first song of the 【Dark Trilogy】, the next ones will surely be from the same series.

But, aren't there two songs left?

It wouldn't be that the other one is just as bizarre, would it?

Are you really not going to pick a safer one to challenge them with?

It is precisely because of this line of thinking that Lv Yi said he felt he had seen the spirit of a young man.

At the same time, everyone is too curious: what exactly is the final installment of the 【Dark Trilogy】 going to be about?

In reality, Luo Mo placed it last mainly because its concept and scope are suitable for the end.

This is a song with an 【Anti-War Theme】 called "Wounds of War".

These three songs put together make up the 【Dark Trilogy】 that has been constantly praised by many fans.

However, Zhou Jielun still has quite a few songs that actually carry a slightly dark style.

For example, "William Castle".

The most interesting thing is that many netizens, after listening to "The Seventh Chapter of Night" and "In the Name of the Father", have started playing the role of a Prophet.

"Seeing the 【Dark Trilogy】, I can't help but think of Luo Mo's 【Ancient Costume Trilogy】. According to his intentions, it seems that after finishing filming 'Nirvana in Fire', he will temporarily stop filming movies and dramas."

"And from these two songs in the 【Dark Trilogy】, we can hear a strong sense of imagery, and even a thick cinematic feel."

"So, do you think that after he finishes filming 'Nirvana in Fire', he will start to follow the path of many film and television directors, shift his focus to the big screen, and go off to make movies?"

Once this speculation came out, many people felt it was plausible.

Not to mention, this guy is clearly just releasing songs, but for some reason, everyone has inexplicably started looking forward to his movies...

This kind of market sentiment is truly magical; only Luo Mo could achieve this.

When he wore ancient costumes and sang a song back then, a group of people were shouting: "The world of ancient costume beauties is saved!"

Others try to cross over and are met with people shouting: "You think you're worthy!?"

Luo Mo is different; he is always begged by everyone to cross over.

At this moment, after Lv Yi had thoroughly praised the spirit of Luo Mo that he had imagined, he turned his gaze back to the song title: "In the Name of the Father?"

This Number One Luo Fan in the songwriting world spoke up again: "This song title immediately makes me think of the title he recently acquired—【Future MusicGodfather】."

"Actually, I feel that this kind of title is just because he is young, he entered the industry late, and his seniority is low."

"Those who have attained are the teachers."

"I don't think he is any 'future' MusicGodfather."

"A person who, every short period of time, creates new styles, creates new categories, leads the trends and direction of the music scene, writes a large number of good songs, and makes one singer after another famous..."

"He is the MusicGodfather!"

As night fell, "In the Name of the Father" and "Too Understand" were still chasing each other on the charts, fighting tooth and nail.

This intense feeling of a fierce battle is actually quite fitting for this gangster song.

At this time, the "Nirvana in Fire" crew, where Luo Mo is, is filming some night scenes.

In night scenes, dramatic scenes are easier to film, but action scenes are more exhausting.

The Drama of this show is concentrated in the imperial court and the pugilistic world, so the proportion of action scenes is relatively high.

For the Actors, this also brings a lot of burden and increases the difficulty significantly.

Some people in the National Theatre of China have a foundation in action scenes. After all, when filming in the past, horse riding was real, wire work was real, and the moves required learning the basics of martial arts routines.

Why do so many people love to criticize crews for not being diligent now?

It's because things that everyone used to take for granted can't even be seen now.

It's as if everything relies on powerful post-production, and they don't even ride horses for real.

The most speechless part is, relying on post-production is one thing, but this post-production... isn't even done well!

Luo Mo feels that filming night scenes is more stressful, mainly for fear of any filming accidents.

Late at night, although there are lighting technicians, it is definitely easier to make mistakes than during the day.

After finishing the night scenes, a slightly exhausted Luo Mo wrapped up work and returned to the hotel to rest.

Xu Chujing is not with the crew these days; she has an endorsement to shoot, which is a high-end watch brand.

After returning to the hotel, Luo Mo first took a cold shower.

After showering, he looked at his abs and muttered: "Recently I've only been filming dramatic scenes, and I lack exercise; I've been a bit lax with body management."

"My abs, which used to be able to serve as a washboard, have regressed a bit."

Just as he put on his bathrobe, his phone rang.

Opening it, he realized it was a WeChat message from Run Jie, Ning Dan.

"Message me back when you're done," Ning Dan said on WeChat.

Luo Mo replied: "I finished early today and am already at the hotel."

"Director Luo is truly a busy person," Ning Dan said.

"Ning Dao, you are joking," Luo Mo replied.

He knew that Ning Dan must have had official business to discuss with him; she wouldn't just send a WeChat message late at night to flirt.

Sure enough, Ning Dan soon said, "I'm just here to ask you, you busy person, the second season of *King of Love Songs* starts recording next week. Have you managed to tinker with the first song you're preparing for Tong Shu yet?"

"That goes without saying. You know me; I'm never short on songs," Luo Mo said.

If he weren't afraid of being too pretentious, he would have even liked to tell Ning Dan directly that he had already prepared all the songs for Tong Shu for the entire season of *King of Love Songs*.

"I don't have many virtues, I'm just steady and low-key," someone said in his heart.

Far away in Shanghai, Ning Dan looked at the WeChat message sent by Luo Mo, slightly pursed her full, red lips, and felt a bit more at ease.

She discovered that she was becoming a bit dependent on Luo Mo when making variety shows now.

With him around, she would feel very safe and feel that everything was foolproof.

Luo Mo wasn't there to help her clean up messes; he was there to represent the highest standard of the entire program.

The most critical thing was that this man—never misses.

"That's good," Ning Dan said.

Soon, she brought up a second matter with Luo Mo.

"Ke Ming and I discussed it, and we are planning to invite Li Junyi to be a challenger guest on the second season of *King of Love Songs*."

"You are Li Junyi's boss, what do you think?" Ning Dan said.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be rolling on the bed in excitement.

After all, *King of Love Songs* is an S-tier variety show; just the total naming rights fees from the various sponsors broke the 500 million mark!

Yet Luo Mo said, "Both of them, just like me, are people who came out of your program."

"By then, there's no telling if they'll be called 'royals' of *King of Love Songs*."

Royals refers to those who are key objects of special care within the production team, born noble, and enjoying treatment different from others.

"What of it? In a competitive variety show, what you fight for in the end is strength," Ning Dan said.

"What's more, Li Junyi's final ranking in my program wasn't high. Tong Shu was even stuck at 11th place, just one step away from the debut spot, yet he was always kept there by the manipulation of capital," Run Jie said.

"What can you do about that? Didn't he beat those nine people who debuted with his first album right after the show ended?" Luo Mo said.

"Are you bragging about yourself?" Ning Dan said.

"A small effort," Luo Mo said. "And everyone knows we have a good relationship; they are people from my studio, so there will definitely be no shortage of gossip."

"Do we have a good relationship in private?" Run Jie said. "I haven't seen you for almost three months now."

This tone was like a resentful woman left alone in her boudoir.

She even wondered why Luo Mo was still living in Xicheng; he should just move to Yucheng across the street and move into Xu Chujing's home.

If Luo Mo knew her psychological activity, he would definitely say, "I'd like to, too!"

After complaining, Run Jie, who had lost her drinking buddy, said, "So, are you afraid of other people's gossip?"

"That's not it; I just think it's a bit boring for them to fight amongst themselves," Luo Mo said.

"If the other participating Singers heard you say that, they would think you don't take them seriously," Ning Dan said.

Luo Mo finally thought about it and made the decision: "It's fine for Li Junyi to participate, but there's no need for him to be the first replacement Singer; let him join in the middle."

He felt that Li Junyi hadn't finished *Masked Singer* for long, so he could still settle down and digest things a bit more.

"As you wish," Ning Dan said directly.

After the two finished their conversation, Luo Mo lay on the bed in the shape of the character 'wood'.

"The second season of *King of Love Songs* is the same as the first; every episode will have a set theme," he muttered to himself.

Currently, the theme content for the first episode revealed to the group of initial Singers is—"It's a good thing longing has no sound, otherwise you would definitely find it deafening."

Which is—I miss you.

After learning of this theme, and considering Tong Shu's unique vocal timbre, Luo Mo immediately thought of a song in his heart.

He liked this song quite a bit himself, but he figured he couldn't sing it with the right feeling, so he had to reluctantly give it up.

"This song, he could try singing it; it should feel quite right," he thought.

There is a series of films that, from the first installment to the final one, did not have low box office numbers for any of them, but they sparked quite a lot of flame wars.

This film is called *Tiny Times*.

But it must be said that most of the songs in it were still quite good.

What Luo Mo chose for Tong Shu was the theme song of this film.

Sodagreen's—*I Miss You So Much*.
