Chapter 380: Phoenix Song to the Nine Heavens

As the song ended, Fengge Group bowed to the audience.

Tian Ming and Xue Ning were panting heavily; it wasn't that the song "Undersea" had been a burden to them, but rather that they were feeling a bit agitated and nervous.

They had performed on stages even bigger than "King of Love Songs" many times before. After all, the two were gala-type singers who had even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times.

However, when appearing on those kinds of galas, they only needed to finish singing the song, and there wasn't much of a burden.

Boosting ratings, being praised to the skies by netizens, becoming a legendary stage... these were not things they had to worry about!

These were things for a singer like Luo Mo to strive for and fight for.

But today, appearing on the stage of "King of Love Songs" was different; there were too many differences here.

It was said that Luo Mo possessed a hand that could turn stones into gold; whether this would hold true for them would be seen today!

As the two stood up from their bow, the entire venue erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

As everyone knew, there were no "Actors" arranged by the production team in the audience of "King of Love Songs."

Because people who watched variety shows nowadays were already a bit tired of such "Actor" tropes; seeing them sit in the audience and overact was just annoying.

Therefore, Ning Dan and Ke Ming usually did the opposite.

If a singer really couldn't sing well, the audience below would either have blank expressions, frown, or show disdain... wasn't that also a great variety show highlight?

Tian Ming and Xue Ning glanced at the professional judging panel and saw seven or eight professional judges standing up to applaud them directly.

Lv Yi was even clapping away incessantly, looking like a sea lion.

He was also shouting loudly: "Good! Good!"

This made the two members of Fengge Group unable to help but look at each other, both seeing excitement and thrill in the other's eyes.

The host took the stage at this moment, asking the audience and professional judges to vote first.

After the voting closed, the female host, wearing a pair of "attack speed shoes," asked the professional judges: "Do you teachers have any comments?"

"King of Love Songs" Season 2 invited a total of 30 professional judges, and five microphones were placed on the seats as backups.

At this moment, five songwriters holding microphones stood up in tacit agreement, all passing their microphones toward Lv Yi.

You are the Number One Luo Fan contestant, you praise first!

This gesture caused the whole venue to burst into laughter.

Lv Yi didn't feel embarrassed; he took two microphones in one go and even made a fake gesture as if he were going to take all the microphones.

He smiled and said: "Everyone knows I really like Luo Mo's creations, but because I've praised him too much, I'm actually a bit at a loss for words; I've run out of praise. So, today I actually want to focus on praising the singing of these two."

As he spoke, he gave the two a thumbs up and said: "The National Team is the National Team, it lives up to its reputation!"

"No, no." Tian Ming and Xue Ning immediately waved their hands.

After all, "National Team" was just a term netizens used for this type of singer; it didn't actually exist.

Lv Yi continued: "Tian Ming's rap gave me a strong sense of Sanskrit Sound; this was intentionally processed this way, right?"

Tian Ming nodded.

"Mm, very impressive. I think most rappers wouldn't be able to produce such a unique effect." Lv Yi openly began to step on others to elevate them.

Telling you all to mock Luo Mo before! I'll step on you to death!

"As for Xue Ning's singing, I think you've let go more than you did on 'Masked Singer,' expanding your own advantages. The sense of power, the sense of vastness, and that firmness in your voice are all moving."

"In terms of conveying emotion, I think you two have reached the extreme in this performance!"

"The arrangement of this song is also incredibly a Surprise, a very big Surprise."

"The lyrics are written so well."

"By the way, I feel like there's a small segment of the 'Big Fish' accompaniment in the backing track, isn't there?"

"That should count as another dream collaboration by Luo Mo, haha!"

"Finally, I sincerely hope that this 'Undersea' can truly convey strength and bring courage and warmth to the listeners!"

"That's all I'll say."

Lv Yi passed the microphone to others, and the professional judges stood up one by one, all showering them with praise.

On Earth, after Phoenix Legend sang "Undersea" on a certain show, they received the lowest score in the venue and were mocked as "tacky" by some judges who appeared out of nowhere.

And the final result was—the song exploded!

On a certain platform, the view count broke 300 million in less than 2 days!

To be realistic, if Fengge Group had gone on other music shows, even if they had performed well, they would have been targeted by the production team to create variety show drama.

They already had the label of being "tacky," and their popularity was low to begin with.

If they didn't target them, who would they target?

Even if they were scolded by netizens in the end, so what?

The show's buzz was stirred up, and being scolded didn't necessarily stop people from continuing to watch.

——Making money, not afraid of being scolded.

But now, standing behind Fengge Group is Luo Mo!

The lyrics and music came from Luo Mo's hands.

Therefore, even if it wasn't Run Jie and Ke Ming's show, others would have to weigh things carefully.

The stage debut of a singer under Luo Mo Studio after signing—do you dare to target them!

The answer is—dare not.

Now, any director making a music variety show is dying to run straight to Luo Mo to curry favor with him.

Every show that has his presence has become an annual hit, without exception!

This kind of ability is terrifying.

At this time, seeing that the comments were over, the female host let Fengge Group go down to rest for a while.

The votes for the singers of this season would be announced together at the end.

After stepping off the stage, Xue Ning said directly, "I feel like the challenger attempt can succeed."

"I think so too." Tian Ming smiled.

In this variety show dominated by mainstream pop music, Fengge Group possessed powerful self-confidence for the first time.

The phoenix is about to begin its nirvana.

………

………

At this moment, on the stage of *King of Love Songs*, the remaining few Singers were about to go on stage.

The female host glanced at the big screen and said, "Then, let us take a look next at exactly how many points of 【King Power Points】 the few Singers from the first episode invested into the second episode?"

Because Tong Shu won first place in the previous episode with the song *I Miss You So Much*, his points were announced last.

One after another, the 【King Power Points】 of the Singers were revealed; the points invested by Tong Shu, who won first place, were...

——30 points!

It was exactly the same as the point value Luo Mo invested every time in the first season of *King of Love Songs*!

Once this score came out, the entire venue was immediately in an uproar.

The Live Broadcast camera aimed directly at the audience and the professional judge seats; many people had expressions of shock or were extremely excited.

The barrage comments were immediately increasing exponentially.

"Coincidence? Betting 30 points just for fun?"

"Haha, worthy of being Luo Mo's own son!"

"I feel like there's an 80% chance he'll bet 30 points every episode from now on!"

"This point value is different after all, it's getting interesting!"

"The son inherits the father's business, the son inherits the father's business!"

The variety show effect was maxed out!

If it is said that Tong Shu really "inherits the father's business" and bets 30 King Power Points every episode just like Luo Mo, that would indeed make the audience feel it has more to watch.

What this represents, in fact, is a kind of—dominance—over the entire program!

The Boss acted as the Great Demon King for an entire season, and now, it is my turn.

Come to think of it, it is also interesting; Luo Mo has already left this program, and as the 【King of Love Songs】 of the first season, he certainly will not come to participate in the second season.

However, although he is not on the program, the pressure he brought still shrouds the entire stage of *King of Love Songs*!

………

………

According to the ranking of King Power Points, Tong Shu was the third to go on stage to perform among the remaining Singers.

After all, the Singers who ranked lower in the previous match did not have a total score reaching 30 points.

The Singer ranked last only had 10 points; he knew well that he would inevitably be the first to go on stage, so he went to learn from Sun Yi in the first season and directly bet 0 points.

It is just that Sun Yi eventually signed with Luo Mo Studio, began to emerge suddenly midway through the program, and in the end, even became popular to the level of a First-line Singer.

He, for the most part, would not have such good luck.

Very soon, it was Tong Shu's turn to go on stage.

The song he brought, *Fleeting Years*, made the entire audience feel once again what is called the sound of heaven.

This special vocal line that God chases after to feed you, Tong Shu has already been able to exert to the extreme.

At the same time, this kind of song that follows a youthful style is still very much loved by young audiences.

Including some middle-aged audiences, they can also produce a certain resonance.

No way around it, who told everyone that in many people's youth, there lived a person?

Compared to the grand atmosphere of *Deep Sea* before, this song follows a delicate and winding route.

This brought two completely different perceptions to the listeners.

It is as if after a hearty meal, the restaurant provided a small, refreshing dessert.

The lyrics and music written by Luo Mo are still of high quality.

Lv Yi, this president of the Beijing Songwriter Association, really cannot understand how he manages to ensure both quality and quantity?

Good programs always end very quickly.

The second episode of *King of Love Songs* finished airing one after another without one realizing it.

The final result was that Fengge Group succeeded in their challenger attempt, ranking second in this match.

Tong Shu, on the other hand, achieved two consecutive championships!

The gap in their vote counts was very small; with such a subtle gap, winning or losing actually does not lie in the superiority or inferiority of the songs, nor does it lie in the level of the Singers' Singing.

It purely depends on the personal taste and aesthetics of the live audience.

After the program finished airing, *Deep Sea* and *Fleeting Years* both climbed onto the Hot Search.

The name Fengge Group also appeared on the Hot Search list once again.

After adding popularity, their songs are becoming more accessible to the Masses.

At the same time, although Luo Mo did not appear on the program, the 【Mo Concentration】 of the entire *King of Love Songs* is really not low, so his name also inexplicably appeared on the Hot Search list.

For Fengge Group, being able to obtain such results, they are probably going to be too excited to sleep tonight.

They gradually realized that their professional future is really going to change from this moment on.

But they do not know that all of this is just the beginning.

Because after the LIVE version of the song *Deep Sea* was uploaded to major music platforms, the comment section exploded!
