Chapter 401: What is National is Worldly

Shock, incomparable shock!

The previous symphony version of "Free Flying" had already left many feeling stirred, but who could have imagined that such an awesome version was merely Luo Mo testing the waters!

The real ultimate move is today's "Above the Moon"!

When the entire Huihuang Orchestra, paired with the bassist and guitarist, goes full throttle, the feeling is truly like a war song!

In the live broadcast, two states were immediately presented.

Some of the more honest ones were busy expressing their awe right now.

"I'm kneeling down; I'm afraid if I kneel too late, there won't be any spots left."

"Listening to this makes me want to ride my family's husky and go conquer space!"

"I am looking up! Above the moon!"

"It's explosive! Damn!"

"I feel like I don't even need to sleep tonight!"

Other viewers began to amuse themselves.

"I would like to call this the 'Chang'e Breaking Formation Tune'!"

"Third Fleet, joint warship formation, target—the moon!"

"Enemy ships have entered range!"

"For Blue Star! Fire!"

The entire interlude was high-energy from start to finish.

Coupled with the stage lighting and special effects, it also changed at this moment.

It gave one the feeling of truly being on the lunar surface, amidst the galaxy.

The members of the Huihuang Orchestra displayed their level and strength.

This is the power of a national-level symphony orchestra!

The audience at the scene had the most direct and intense sensory experience.

If the viewers watching the live broadcast were already like this, what about those at the scene?

For many, this is definitely a memory they will never forget for the rest of their lives.

For many viewers, perhaps it was even after today that they fell into the trap of symphonic music!

Many Mo fans thought to themselves: "I originally started getting into the violin after listening to the violin piece 'Confession Night' performed by Luo Mo."

"Now this is great, this man isn't satisfied with just one instrument at all!"

Beijing, inside the Siheyuan.

When Xu Chujing heard this part, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

She felt a current of electricity sweep through her entire body.

Luo Mo gently nudged her with his elbow and asked her, "How is it?"

Suddenly suffering an "attack," the Heavenly Queen Xu trembled violently, turned her head, and glared at him with a resentful and angry gaze.

She was like a cat that had its tail stepped on.

She finally understood why Luo Mo dared to say the most powerful part hadn't arrived yet.

But after she calmed down, she couldn't help but say, "This symphonic segment, you're using it as an interlude, right?"

"That's right, Xue Ning and Tian Ming will definitely have to sing a segment afterward, and then conclude within the singing," Luo Mo said as a matter of course.

If a symphony were used as the conclusion, the entire structure of the song would be wrong.

"Then you really have given them a huge problem; after this segment, the singing won't be easy to pick up," Xu Chujing said.

This was what she considered to be the most difficult part at this moment.

Luo Ba and Luo Ma sat on the mahogany chairs on the other side, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but exchange glances.

The two elders didn't really understand it, but they felt quite happy.

In their view, the two had things to talk about and could spark inspiration in their work, isn't that great?

When the 【Mo Xu CP】 was growing rapidly, Luo Ba and Luo Ma had asked Luo Mo countless times if he was dating Xu Chujing!

What Luo Mo said at first was: "No."

But later on, it changed from "No" to—"Not yet."

Only one character more, yet the difference was worlds apart.

Luo Ba and Luo Ma were overjoyed when they heard this.

Today, after Xu Chujing came for the family dinner, they felt even more that these two were close to it.

Luo Mo did not know that his parents, while listening to such a shocking symphony, actually still had the heart to observe the two of them.

He just smiled and said to Xu Chujing: "This isn't a big problem, this is a massive problem."

"So in this place, there must be a certain amount of processing, to create a bridging segment; otherwise, I don't think any singer could handle it."

In this place, he had also carried out his own re-arrangement.

Looking at the song structure, "Above the Moon" starts right off with "【I am looking up, above the moon】."

It means the very beginning is the most atmospheric part.

Then, once the symphony comes out, it pushes this segment even higher, definitely surpassing the human voice and suppressing it.

So, after the symphony ends, if you go to pick up with another "【I am looking up, above the moon】," it would be meaningless and might even become the failure of the whole song.

Xue Ning's singing technique is very strong, extremely strong.

That feeling of the vastness of the grasslands cannot be suppressed by ordinary instruments.

Who knows, even when facing a suona, she might have the power to put up a fight.

After all, they are from the National Team; on Earth, there have been existences that could suppress the suona.

However, what she is facing now is not one Yueqi, or a few Yueqi.

But an entire orchestra!

Even with the help of Tian Ming, and a ten-year partnership unleashing the strongest harmony, it certainly cannot cover up the national-level Huihuang Orchestra.

This point, the experienced Xu Chujing naturally understood in an instant.

To be precise, many songwriters and music critics on the professional judging panel also realized this one after another.

——Luo Mo, you are playing with fire!

This pressure, in fact, is mainly on Luo Mo.

Because he is the creator.

Xue Ning and Tian Ming have their limits; now the key is, after Luo Mo unleashes the big move of a symphony, what method will he use to connect and transition, to carry out... the conclusion!

Composer Lv Yi is already brainstorming.

"If it were me, what would I do?"

For a moment, he could not think of it.

He might have ended directly with the symphony, just going for a beauty of imperfection.

If it's incomplete, it's incomplete; once you've started battleship bombardment, how could there be a complete way?

Xu Chujing also looked curiously at the television, watching Xue Ning and Tian Ming pick up their microphones at this moment.

The vocals are about to start connecting!

As soon as the Singing began, Xu Chujing could not help but let out an "eh."

On the professional judging panel, Lv Yi slapped his thigh hard with his hand and shouted in his heart: "Beautiful!"

This move is truly too beautiful!

At the beginning of "Above the Moon," it did not start with Singing directly; a segment of Mongolian appeared first.

Translations even appeared on the big screen.

At first, everyone thought it was just to create a sense of vastness of the grassland under the moonlight.

At the same time, letting the Mongolian language add a veil to this song to build the atmosphere.

Little did they know, this was foreshadowing and a hook!

Since Mongolian can naturally make people think of the grassland and have a sense of boundlessness, then, after the symphony ends, perform a Mongolian connection and use Mongolian for Singing!

The whole song is rich in grassland style, and the background of the lyrics is actually the grassland; otherwise, vocabulary like 【Horse-head Fiddle】 and 【Mare Milk Wine】 would not appear.

Therefore, singing a segment in Mongolian does not make people feel abrupt.

On the contrary, there is a sense of connection between the heavens and the earth!

Above the nine heavens is the bright moon, and beneath the bright moon is the grassland!

This is heaven and earth!

With good music, even if you don't understand the lyrics, you will still think it is good.

Just like the following Mongolian part; most of the audience naturally cannot understand what is being sung.

But they just feel it's catchy!

"【Ah ri wen ta wen nai sa ran,

Ah ga ri de ge re de huo...】"

This segment of content already existed in the original version of "Above the Moon."

It can make the whole song appear more charming.

The notes in this segment are relatively high, and the entire vocal style has changed, shifting from a pop vocal style to the vocal style used when singing Mongolian songs.

The ethnic feel, didn't it just come out all at once!

"Divine! Truly divine!" On the professional judging panel, many songwriters were truly convinced.

A genius songwriter, too strong!

Now, not only is the structure of the whole song complete, but even the sense of story and emotion are complete.

The preceding symphony is like a war song.

After the war song, it returns to the ethnic people on the grassland, returning to... the people.

Then this is protection!

This makes the bullet screen sent earlier: "Everyone on the moon, we have nowhere left to retreat; behind us is the Blue Star!"

Appear incredibly fitting!

On the stage, the special effects also changed the moment the Mongolian language appeared.

A vast and boundless grassland appeared, and at the end of the grassland, it connected to a night sky filled with twinkling stars.

Many listeners only felt goosebumps arise once again.

It is hard to imagine that after being shocked by a symphony, goosebumps could still arise.

After the Mongolian singing finished, the Singing returned to the opening part.

It is very strange; when you look at these lyrics again at this time, you will find that the charm has changed, and the meaning has also changed.

It is as if you can fill in an epic story in your mind!

"【I am looking up, above the moon.

How many dreams are flying freely.

Yesterday is forgotten, the sorrow has dried in the wind.

I want to reunite with you on that vast road.

Life has been pulled by the ebb and flow of the tide,

The Distance where you are, is heaven.】"

Suddenly, words in these lyrics such as "reunion," "life," "attraction," and "heaven" all seemed to take on new meanings!

This is the terrifying aspect of a sense of story.

It allows many people to feel that they are not just listening to a song, not just appreciating a stage performance.

"A god-tier stage, this is absolutely a god-tier stage!"

Even Lv Yi, this "Number One Luo Fan," felt that the stage for "Above the Moon" would become one of the most classic stages created by Luo Mo.

The romance in this song is incredibly intense.

It is not just about love, but also about the stars and the sea.

When the song ended, the venue erupted in thunderous applause, and almost all the audience members stood up to clap.

It can be said that Luo Mo has once again raised the prestige of the second season of "King of Love Songs" by at least two levels!

In the hearts of many, they feel that other singing variety shows don't even need to be compared with "King of Love Songs"!

Backstage at the show, one of the General Directors, Ning Dan, let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, it is a Live Broadcast, so it is still very nerve-wracking.

Run Jie was extremely satisfied with the quality of this episode, and she felt a great sense of fulfillment in her heart.

Such quality can be said to be a direct thrashing of peers in the industry!

This is what you call a true top-tier singing competition variety show!

"Luo Mo, oh Luo Mo, you are messing with me like this." Run Jie couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She felt that she would become dependent on him; if she were to produce singing variety shows in the future, she wouldn't dare to do it without him.

It would definitely go downhill!

In reality, the latter part of this episode had already lost its meaning.

The remaining Singers going up to sing could no longer provide the audience with any sense of thrill.

The reason everyone kept watching was merely to know the final vote count and ranking for "Above the Moon."

And the final result was naturally—winning first place!

This is indisputable!

You must know that after the performance of "Above the Moon" ended, many songwriters and composers on the professional judging panel expressed: "I dare not offer much commentary."

We, second-rate judges, commenting on the work of a super-first-rate creator...

Are we worthy?

When many people spoke, they were very cautious with their words, frequently using phrases like "I personally think," "I feel myself, ha," and "This only represents my personal view."

As for Lv Yi, he was the same as always; just praise, that was it, a whole lot of intense praise.

However, many audience members did indeed come to understand the structure and narrative quality of this song under his praise.

Many people couldn't help but send barrage comments: "I knew this song was amazing, but I didn't expect it to be this amazing."

When Luo Mo was actually watching the show, while he appeared to be strategic, calm, and full of confidence in front of Xu Chujing, he was actually somewhat nervous and apprehensive.

Because there were so many new arrangements in it, and so many small personal creative touches.

Fortunately, the final fusion was excellent!

After the show ended, Ning Dan specifically went to discuss something with Ke Ming.

"I want to post this stage content to foreign websites," Ning Dan said.

"Is that so?" Ke Ming was slightly taken aback.

On Blue Star, copyright control is very strict.

That is to say, without authorization, people cannot easily edit the content from "King of Love Songs" and post it on major foreign platforms.

After thinking for a moment, the dog director Ke Ming reached out and pressed the hat he used to cover his bald spot, saying: "Sure, go ahead and post it. I feel like we can operate it a bit."

This meant not only uploading it but also potentially investing some money to see if it could stir up any response.

The nature of this is actually a bit like buying a Hot Search abroad.

Ke Ming didn't actually think too much about it; "King of Love Songs" had become so popular that the naming rights fees alone for this season were an astronomical figure. The production team had plenty of money, so they could just throw some out to test the waters.

Ning Dan's intuition had always been very sharp; this was recognized in the industry.

Many of her methods were also highly sophisticated.

Luo Mo's initial persona as a working-class contestant in "Creating Idols" was actually operated entirely by Ning Dan.

Therefore, when Ke Ming saw that Ning Dan wanted to try, he agreed directly, stating he had no objections.

Looking at the market for orchestral music, the foreign market is definitely larger.

Moreover, the international fame of the Huihuang Orchestra is indeed very, very high.

But this piece contains things from our Huaxia nation, has a lot of Mongolian language fusion, and a large amount of Chinese Yueqi!

Spending a little money to mess around a bit, it wouldn't matter if it was a loss.

"Alright then, I'll handle the operation." Seeing Ke Ming was so straightforward, Ning Dan directly indicated she would do it.

"Sure," Ke Ming said.

(PS: To clarify, the stage is considered semi-original. In fact, most of the stages detailed in this book are semi-original. Asking for monthly votes to climb the rankings; currently sixth on the overall list, having fallen out of the top five.)
