Chapter 374: Are You Insulting Me?
There exists a group of people in this world who are ashamed to let those around them hear the certain songs they listen to in their daily lives.
In private, they can listen to their heart's content, but once there are other listeners present, there are some songs they would never, ever take out to play.
It is just a pity that the current songs of Fengge Group have such low popularity that they don't even reach that level.
However, it does not matter.
"This isn't just about wanting to sign with my studio!" Luo Mo thought to himself.
"It is time to contribute to the physical health of the vast number of middle-aged and elderly people!" Luo Mo had set his sights on the title of 【God of Square Dance】.
At the same time, you wouldn't really think that a National Team act like Phoenix Legend couldn't sing trendy songs, would you?
In recent years, many young people have reversed their opinions of them, and even reversed their opinions of Teacher Tengge'er; there are reasons for all of this.
——The strength is right there.
Everyone feels that Fengge Group does not possess much commercial value.
Yet Luo Mo does not think so.
"The key is to see how it's handled!"
It still comes back to that saying: the order in which you play your cards is very important.
Xue Ning and Tian Ming probably never dreamed that while they were still nervously guessing whether Luo Mo would look down on them.
As for Luo Mo, he had already thought of the first song he would give them.
The entire conversation went very smoothly.
When Tian Ming and Xue Ning walked out of Luo Mo's office, they both felt a bit dazed.
"Was it really just that smooth?" The two looked at each other, both feeling that everything was so surreal.
Admittedly, like the vast majority of singers whose contracts were expiring, their first choice was Luo Mo Studio.
But they had been too afraid to come.
Instead, they had first contacted the teams at their second and third-choice companies.
The result was—they were mocked.
If not for Li Junyi's encouragement, they really might not have dared to come.
There was no helping it; Luo Mo's songs have always given people the impression of leading the trend.
Yes, there is a saying: "Standing in the path of the wind, even a pig can fly."
And Luo Mo? He is not the one standing in the path of the wind; he is the one creating the wind!
He innovates, and others follow the trend.
It has always been this way.
The label for Fengge Group is "tacky," and no matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit with Luo Mo Studio.
Xue Ning is that kind of big-hearted woman, exceptionally forthright. Her entire personality is similar to her singing voice.
In the end, she almost couldn't hold back and wanted to press Luo Mo, to ask him what exactly he was thinking in his head, and what exactly he saw in the two of them.
Tian Ming also wanted to speak several times but held back.
He would never have guessed that Luo Mo had already changed his WeChat nickname to: "AKA Prairie Bandit".
Luo Mo had someone print out the studio's Contract, then handed it to the two and said, "Why don't you take it back and look it over first? You two can discuss it further?"
"No need." Xue Ning made the decision directly, then smiled and said, "We definitely have to look at it, but we had already discussed it before we came."
Luo Mo laughed along and said, "Right, there is one more thing."
Seeing him specifically bring it up, Tian Ming and Xue Ning immediately pricked up their ears.
"I have launched a 【One Person One Representative Work】 plan within Xinyu; have you heard of it?" Luo Mo asked.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ning was instantly a bit excited and said, "We have definitely heard of it, and we've even listened to the songs."
These songs are all full versions of the songs from the medley hit "King of Love Songs".
Up until now, there are only 6 songs from "King of Love Songs" that haven't had full versions released.
"Listening to what Luo Mo means, is he going to give us a song from 'King of Love Songs'!?" the two thought.
But Luo Mo's next words shattered their fantasy.
"For this plan, our own studio is also implementing it together, and you can also participate. The overall promotional resources are not small, and the intensity is quite high."
"But because the two of you are quite special, I won't give you a song from 'King of Love Songs'."
"I might have you cover a song."
"Hmm, it's not my song; it's for a female Singer at Xinyu."
"Of course, if I have you cover it, it will definitely be adapted to a certain degree."
Xue Ning and Tian Ming looked at each other again; the old partners could see the emotions and thoughts directly in each other's eyes.
They were both feeling a bit down.
Sure enough, although they had successfully signed with Luo Mo Studio, due to their own conditions, they were definitely still limited in many aspects. If nothing unexpected happened, they probably wouldn't be very highly valued.
Xue Ning even suspected now whether Luo Mo had signed them for the sake of Li Junyi's Face.
After all, he had just said it himself, and from the sound of it, he didn't intend to write songs specifically for them. He was just taking a song written for someone else and letting them cover it.
Isn't this... just being a tool for promoting someone else's song?
But Luo Mo's next words made them feel like the world was spinning.
"Oh right, regarding resources, I will first help you secure a spot to participate in the second season of 'King of Love Songs'."
"Hmm!?" Xue Ning immediately raised her head, her eyes shining.
A moment ago, he gave the impression of not valuing them, but suddenly he threw an S-Rank variety show at them!
This is the second season of "King of Love Songs" after all; for this kind of resource, even a big shot in the music industry like Cilon would have their internal singers fighting tooth and nail for it.
This is a resource that even First-line Singers would be incredibly eager for!
For many people, being able to get on this kind of platform for Singing would make them willing to do anything.
Tian Ming, who was relatively quiet, took a deep look at Luo Mo from the side; he could not see through this young man before him at all.
For a moment, he was even a bit unable to discern this new boss's views and positioning regarding their group.
The most important thing was that King of Love Songs was a singing competition variety show aimed at the mainstream Masses.
The young audience demographic accounted for a quite large proportion.
"Can our Fengge Group really do it?" the two thought to themselves, feeling a bit uncertain.
Luo Mo, meanwhile, thought in his heart: "This feeling is just like sending Phoenix Legend to participate in I Am a Singer."
"How exciting!"
Luo Mo's efficiency was very high; after Fengge Group officially became his own people, he returned to the office and gave Ning Dan a call.
The second season of King of Love Songs was co-directed by her and Ke Ming; she had previously asked Luo Mo, saying she still wanted Li Junyi to participate, but Luo Mo felt it was somewhat unnecessary.
One reason was that Li Junyi was still digesting his popularity, and the other reason was that he still had to continue running promotions for his new album, "Sorrow Relief."
Going on singing variety shows consecutively did not have a strong necessity; it would be better to go run other exposures.
When Ning Dan first saw it was a call from Luo Mo, her mood was actually quite pleasant.
But once she heard he wanted to change Li Junyi to Fengge Group, one could say Ning Dan's mind was full of question marks: "???"
"Fengge Group?" she asked again.
"That's right, it's Tian Ming and Xue Ning," Luo Mo said.
Ning Dan was a bit puzzled and said, "You signed them to your studio?"
"You rejected Chun Xiao from Masked Singer and signed Fengge?" Ning Dan felt it was a bit unbelievable.
She recognized Fengge Group's singing skills and professional ability, but she also believed that the commercial value of these two people was indeed very low.
"Mm, the two of them are easier to operate," Luo Mo said.
Ning Dan listened, feeling dizzy; this Run Jie, who understood everything, even really wanted to retort: "Chun Xiao is actually easier to operate."
But in the end, she only said: "You have already made your decision?"
"Yes," Luo Mo answered very firmly.
"Alright then, I trust you won't mess around," Run Jie said. "I'll go tell Ke Ming in a moment, or will you tell him yourself?"
"It would be better for Sister Dan to relay it," Luo Mo said with a smile.
"You, oh you! Fine then," Ning Dan said with a laugh and a scold, agreeing to it.
Everyone knew that Luo Mo and Ning Dan had a good relationship.
If he wanted to use the back door through Ning Dan, it certainly wouldn't be difficult.
But it was estimated that no one would have thought it could be simple to this extent.
At nightfall, Luo Mo Studio released a Weibo post at seven o'clock in the evening, and the official accounts on other platforms also announced a piece of news at the same time.
"Warmly welcome Fengge Group to join the big family!"
Mm, it was posted very sloppily; they didn't even make a decent Poster, just this simple sentence.
However, it was precisely this sentence that sparked heated discussion on the internet and stirred up a huge uproar within the circle!
The netizens were stunned.
"Does this mean Fengge Group signed with Luo Mo Studio!?"
The first thought that popped into everyone's minds was: "Why?"
Luo Mo Studio was famously short-handed; under this boss, there were only three male Singers.
But as Luo Mo continued to do better and better, everyone felt the studio would definitely continue to recruit people and continue to expand.
Many people were curious, which lucky person would receive an olive branch from Luo Mo?
Last time, there was gossip revealing that Chun Xiao really wanted to sign, but ended up offering a warm face to Luo Mo's cold butt, and was even kicked away by that butt.
As a result, you don't want Chun Xiao, the 【Heavenly Queen · Pseudo-Realm】, but you want a gala act who is earthy to the extreme and whom young people don't like to listen to at all?
Yes, many people knew Fengge Group purely because they participated in too many galas, too frequently.
"Can this group really be promoted?"
"Is Luo Mo eyeing the field of galas?"
"I don't get it, what kind of operation is this."
Although many people left comments like "Welcome" under the Weibo post, there were certainly many people who voiced doubts.
As for some of Luo Mo's haters, they couldn't help but come to mock a few words, with all kinds of sarcasm.
"Yo, do you really think you're a MusicGodfather? Picking the hard bones to chew?"
"Hahaha, young people, always wanting to prove themselves."
"Luo Mo: I just love to show off, I just love to challenge the difficulty of Hell Mode, what's it to you?"
"He really thinks he's the trendiest songwriter, wanting to take Fengge Group to fly."
"Sorry, I don't listen to the songs they sing, and I don't think they can become popular."
As for the Singers in the industry, many even felt aggrieved and felt insulted.
For example, someone like Chun Xiao: "Luo Mo rejected me and signed them?"
Now it was great; many netizens who loved to stir up trouble specifically came to leave comments under Chun Xiao's Weibo: "Haha, Luo Mo wants Fengge Group but doesn't want you, hahaha!"
Many songwriters were also thinking, with the song style and vocal lines of Fengge Group, what kind of songs should be written to make them more mainstream and more popular?
A group of people racked their brains, but couldn't think of anything at all.
Their style had no precedent for becoming popular like this!
Almost everyone didn't understand and couldn't figure out what Luo Mo wanted to do or how he would operate next.
And that night, Fengge Group received a song.
A song that Luo Mo let them perform a cover of.
