Chapter 384: Lyrics with Hidden Mysteries

For this season of "King of Love Songs," the dog director Ke Ming still spent a large sum of money to invite popular Singers of all kinds.

The challenger for the third episode is also someone who firmly sits on the throne of a First-line Singer.

Looking at the entire program currently, the ones with the lowest status are Fengge Group.

To speak truthfully, these two were indeed stuffed in by Luo Mo through Ning Dan's back door.

Because when this program was recruiting title sponsors, it had already put out the slogan that the threshold for the program starts at a Second-line Singer.

Of course, since the person standing behind them is Luo Mo, those gold-master daddies who titled the program had no objections.

It is worth mentioning that Xue Ning and Tian Ming only realized that their boss had actually prepared a backup plan after coming to the venue for rehearsals several times last night.

At first, Tian Ming even thought the development positioning the boss gave their group was: evolving from the kind of "tacky" that had no fame or popularity to the kind of "tacky" that all the people in the country know.

But last night at the rehearsal venue, after seeing the batch of helpers Luo Mo specifically invited, the two understood that it was not like that at all!

This batch of helpers was truly too strong, far too strong!

Luo Mo's arrangement for the whole song was also too strong!

"It really is... refined and popular alike, isn't it?" Tian Ming finally couldn't help but blurt out in a daze.

………

………

As night fell, the program officially began broadcasting.

Music God had been guarding her tablet early on, waiting for the two new songs written by Luo Mo.

In the previous episode, the adapted version of "Deep Sea" brought Music God a great shock.

"This kind of operation is something only Luo Mo can pull off," she thought to herself.

It was very strange; she was clearly living quite happily, but listening to "Deep Sea" as sung by Fengge Group, she actually felt a bit like tearing up.

At the same time, the Singing skills and strength of Fengge Group also truly opened Music God's eyes.

For this reason, after finishing the program, she specifically listened to all of Fengge Group's songs once.

Her final feeling was...

"Why did I bring this suffering upon myself?" Music God couldn't understand.

"I clearly should have known there was no need to keep listening after just two songs; why did I have to finish all of them?"

"Is this like when you're scratching a lottery ticket and you've already seen the word 'Thanks', yet you insist on scratching out 'Thanks for your patronage' before stopping?"

"What exactly was I expecting?"

"They are completely following two different paths!" Music God sighed.

She had thought Fengge Group was a hidden gem in the music scene.

Later she discovered that it wasn't without reason that they had been so covered in dust before.

There really is a magical power in Luo Mo; he really just directly gave this group a huge change.

One could even say it was a reshaping!

Seeing the program start, Music God couldn't help but say in her heart: "I'm sorry, little Tong Shu, although Mom is looking forward to Fengge Group more right now, it doesn't mean Mom doesn't love you anymore."

"Yeah, I was just briefly attracted by them!" Music God said.

At the start of the program, the female host wearing attack-speed shoes and stepping out with her long white legs began to take the stage and thank the gold-master daddies.

Looking at the barrage, it was all just two words—"Nice legs."

Music God, however, was disdainful, because she felt this woman was at best on par with her.

When it comes to legs, this Music God—who appears to be a well-known music critic but is actually a beautiful-leg blogger—only bows to Jiang Ningxi, who is known as the "Leg Fairy."

The female host in a black dress began to introduce today's challenger.

Music God thought: "The one coming to challenge today is Pang Zeng. He is still very strong."

This person is a First-line male Singer who has won the honor of "Song King."

After taking the Song King honor, he declared he would charge at the Heavenly King throne, but the "Hua Ge Award" seemed to look down on him a bit.

He has won the "Golden Melody Awards" Song King honor twice, but he just can't get it from the Hua Ge Award side.

Aside from changing his young model girlfriends quite frequently, this Pang Zeng doesn't have many dark spots.

Although this person changes young model girlfriends at a fast frequency, he never two-times anyone.

Therefore, he is also called "Lord Helmsman" by many netizens.

Music God wasn't very keen on the new song brought by Pang Zeng.

"The lyrics are okay, the melody is average, the Arranger... is a bit subpar," Music God made her personal evaluation.

"Am I poisoned by Luo Mo?" she thought.

"Sure enough, once a person gets used to eating delicacies, their taste will change."

"Now I've changed to only eating Luo Mo, only eating Luo Mo... annoying!" Music God felt helpless.

After Pang Zeng finished Singing, the female host went on stage to announce the "Kingship Points" each Singer bet for themselves after the end of the last episode, in order to determine the performance order.

"Good heavens, Tong Shu really did bet 30 points again."

On the barrage, the four big characters "Inheriting the Father's Career" began to flood the screen crazily again.

Although Luo Mo is not on this program, this program is truly full of his shadows.

"If this program keeps running in the future, and if Luo Mo's people participate every season, won't this score become a tradition for Luo Mo Studio?" Music God smiled.

What surprised her was that Fengge Group also bet 30 points.

This means Tong Shu and Fengge Group have to rely on rock-paper-scissors to decide the order.

But no matter who goes first and who goes later, the performances are right next to each other.

"Listening to two of Luo Mo's songs in one breath, then going to listen to other people's songs... the contrast will be even more intense!" Music God was already mourning for the other Singers.

And the final result of the rock-paper-scissors was that Tong Shu goes first, and Fengge Group goes after.

As soon as Tong Shu stepped onto the stage, cheers erupted from the venue.

This delicate-looking young man always gave people a shy feeling whenever he wore a smile, but once he started Singing, he was a completely different person.

It seems that everyone from Luo Mo Studio has a bit of this trait.

Once they stand on stage, they possess a sense of self-confidence.

"Annual Rings Talk?" The Music God looked at the song title and said, "The song title is quite interesting."

Judging from the style, the whole song follows a rather affectionate path.

The melody is also that kind of deep, slightly melancholic tune.

The Music God quite liked the short piano segment right before the chorus.

And when Tong Shu began to sing the chorus, the drum beats and other rhythms joined in instantly, making the whole song appear to have more layers.

At the same time, the way the lyrics were written also made her feel it was incredibly novel.

"【One is an infant's cry, two is learning to play games."

"Three is a story of youth, four is accidentally meeting you.】"

Annual rings circle after circle, the chorus constantly pushing forward starting from numbers; she personally liked this style of writing very much.

"【Ten is in a lonely night, one hundred is harboring doubts."

"One thousand is struggling to wake from a dream, ten thousand is being iron-hearted to leave you.】"

Hearing this, the Music God felt that something was not quite right.

"Intuition tells me, these lyrics... Hiss! Wait! So that's it!" The Music God reacted immediately.

She was thinking to herself right now: "I wonder if these professional judges have heard the mystery hidden inside."

"If someone heard it and mentioned it on the show, I won't be able to write it in my music review. But if no one discovers it, then I am the one who understands Luo Mo best, hee hee!" She had already started calculating her own clever plan.

Unfortunately, after the song ended, Lv Yi snatched the microphone first, then turned his head to look at the lyricists and composers sitting around, and said with a smug face: "Fellow colleagues, has anyone heard the little mystery in this song?"

Looking at the smug face of this middle-aged, average-looking man, the Music God felt her teeth itching with Anger.

"Ahhh! It's you again, it's you again, Lv Yi!"

Many of the points she wanted to write in her music reviews were often talked about by Lv Yi on the show!

It must be said that Lv Yi, being called the "Number One Luo Fan in the music industry," really does understand Luo Mo quite well.

Seeing no one answer, Lv Yi coughed lightly a few times, then straightened his back, looked at Tong Shu and said: "Tong Shu, the chorus part of this song has a very magical aspect, right?"

Tong Shu smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right. After Brother Mo gave me the lyrics and music, it wasn't until I practiced it over a dozen times that I discovered the special part. As expected, Teacher Lv Yi's ears are sharper."

The reason Tong Shu has many "mom fans" is because he has always been very humble, or rather, just like a well-behaved boy at home, his speech and actions are particularly... polite.

The female host immediately looked left and right, then deliberately created a show effect, using very stiff acting to perform an anxious emotion, and said: "Oh my, you two, stop keeping us in suspense!"

The Lyricist sitting next to Lv Yi actually hadn't guessed it either, but he deliberately stirred up trouble, picked up the microphone and said: "Brother Lv, I've seen it too. If you keep keeping us in suspense and refuse to tell us, I'm going to stand up and say it!"

As he spoke, he even lifted his butt off the seat, performing a wave of strategic butt-lifting.

Lv Yi pushed him down and said with disgust: "Go away, go away!"

"Luo Mo's song, let me review it." He smiled, then said to the camera: "Come, come, come, give me a close-up."

In the bullet comments, netizens all felt that this person had inherited the true teachings of the dog director Ke Ming when he announced the final rankings.

Seeing that the variety show effect had been achieved, Lv Yi began to say: "In this chorus part, numbers like one, two, three, four, ten, one hundred, and ten thousand appear."

"Paired with the song title 'Annual Rings Talk,' it gives people a feeling of annual rings circling one after another."

"This way of writing lyrics is actually quite clever."

"But I want to tell everyone, the cleverness inside is far more than just this."

"Next, everyone pay attention to what I say."

"Um, my Mandarin is a bit non-standard. How about giving me paper and a pen so I can write it down?"

Tong Shu stood on the stage, and this polite big boy really wanted to say: "Um... my Mandarin is standard, how about I say it?"

Seeing that he was about to provoke public Anger, Lv Yi began to explain obediently.

"The mystery of the chorus lyrics is..."

"【One is (the beginning) an infant's cry,"

"Two is (childhood) learning to play games,"

"Three is (parting is) a story of youth,"

"Four is (at the right time) accidentally meeting you.】"

A small number of people understood and immediately let out gasps of surprise!

Not to mention, once such homophones are used, they really do fit the artistic conception of the lyrics, or rather, they have even more feeling!

The female host immediately followed up: "Then what about the ten, one hundred, and ten thousand later?"

She actually didn't understand it; it was because Ning Dan's voice came through her earpiece, telling her to continue asking.

Lv Yi smiled inscrutably at the camera, then continued to analyze:

"I guess it's like this..."

"【Ten is (loss is) in a lonely night,"

"One hundred is (defeat is) harboring doubts,"

"One thousand is (a trench is) struggling to wake from a dream,"

"Ten thousand is (forgetting is) being iron-hearted to leave you.】"

After he finished speaking, fearing that some people wouldn't understand, he told everyone these homophones in the form of words, for example: "Loss is the 'loss' in 'to lose'."

By the time he finished, the Music God watching the show was already furious.

And at the scene, one person after another revealed expressions of being dumbfounded, and one wave of exclamations after another erupted!
