Chapter 414: 《Notebook》

Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

On one side, Wang Shisong and Wang Shibai were arguing incessantly; if they hadn't been born to the same parents, they might have even exchanged insults about each other's elderly fathers and mothers.

On the other side, the "Moshengren" were plunged into endless anticipation.

After the appearance of the song "Chapter Seven of the Night," based on the Weibo post Luo Mo made and the song's MV, it is not hard to see that Luo Mo has the intention to create works in the Suspense genre.

But this person has too many major projects going on, so he always gives people the feeling that "he isn't slacking off, he is truly busy."

Unlike certain people who have already completely given up—hey, I'm just playing around!

The original slogan of the Moshengren was: "Luo Mo, work overtime!"

As time went on, everyone is now too lazy to shout at him to work overtime, and they all shout: "Please, take a break, free up some time, and go date Jing!"

The sudden appearance of 【Mist Theater】 was an unexpected Surprise for the vast majority of people.

………

………

Saturday night is destined to be a restless night.

As Penguin Video quietly accomplished a major feat, becoming the first to surpass a total of 50 million members, this will also cause the drama "Nirvana in Fire" to leave a heavy, colorful mark in the history of Huaxia film and television dramas.

Luo Mo's "status in the industry" has also risen accordingly.

Even the great director Zheng Guofeng couldn't help but look at his own disappointing son, sighing several times in the night: "Where did that old thing Tong Qinglin get such good fortune!"

As night fell, the Semi-finals of "King of Love Songs" were about to begin.

Before this, Qiqu Video also released news, announcing that its total platform membership had surpassed 50 million.

However, because Penguin snatched the lead, and did so at an astonishing speed to complete a heaven-defying level of overtaking, the significance of Qiqu Video breaking 50 million was halved.

As for Pineapple TV over there...

——And what does that rotten Pineapple have to do with anything?

In the night, many people were guarding their screens early, waiting for the broadcast of "King of Love Songs" to start.

As soon as the show's opening sequence aired, many people began commenting in the bullet screen.

"It's time for the monotonous thanking of the sugar daddies again."

"Ke Ming: It's just making money, nothing shameful about it!"

"I can already recite the ad copy by heart."

"Sigh, boring, boring."

However, when a spotlight lit up on the pitch-black stage, everyone did not see the familiar female host.

Those long white legs had just disappeared like that.

In their place was a figure wearing a crisp suit.

Luo Mo held the microphone and the host's cue cards, standing in the center of the "King of Love Songs" stage!

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the "King of Love Songs" Semi-finals, titled by Golden Ox Organic Milk."

"I am everyone's old friend—the 【King of Love Songs】, Luo Mo." He faced the camera, smiled slightly, and paused for a moment.

A short sentence, yet it inexplicably made people feel he was both cool and pretentious!

This was the first time the audience had seen Luo Mo acting as a temporary host, so everyone still found it quite fresh.

When the female host used to read the ad copy for the next 6 sponsors, the only thing everyone looked at was her legs.

But Luo Mo was different; he showed off his speaking speed, like he was Singing rap, and finished all the ad copy with almost no pauses for breath.

——Don't underestimate the lung capacity of someone who performs opera!

Enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and the bullet screen was also happy, feeling that Luo Mo was just pulling a stunt.

After finishing the ad copy, he stood on the stage, pointed at the big screen and said: "Then, let us first take a look at everyone's total scores after the previous two rounds of points matches."

"We will determine the order of appearance for the Semi-finals based on the rankings from the points matches."

"Those with high points appear later, and those with low points appear earlier."

As soon as he finished speaking, the points rankings of the 5 Singers appeared on the big screen.

Tong Shu and the Fengge Group were naturally the highest, among which, the Fengge Group, with the assist of the Huihuang Orchestra, had a slightly higher score than Tong Shu.

Luo Mo looked at the big screen, a smile appearing on his face.

——The boss is very satisfied. jpg.

"Looks like I'll have to give out bonuses after going back." He held the microphone and said with a smile.

After announcing the order of appearance, his temporary guest job was finished.

Wearing leather shoes and dress pants, Luo Mo strode with his long legs, walking off the stage like he was on a runway, and took his seat in the very center of the guest area.

With his current status and popularity, even if he feigned humility and didn't sit in the center C-Position, others would still invite him to the C-Position.

It was better to just sit down and save the trouble; he even felt like crossing his legs.

The competition of "King of Love Songs" has already entered the Semi-finals stage. All the participating Singers have also started to go all out.

Individual Singers are no longer seeking stability and have started to break through boldly.

For example, the first male Singer to take the stage and his guest, who somewhat learned from the style of Luo Mo's "Nocturne" and other songs, incorporating Rap and classical elements into their love song.

The music was actually not bad; one could see the composer's skill.

It's just that this Singer's Rap was easy to make people think of the famous: "Harry Potter riding a broomstick flying..."

Rap requires a certain tone and finding the right feel.

Otherwise, it sounds more like shouting into a microphone.

Overall, the flaws did not outweigh the merits. In the end, the evaluation given by the professional judging panel was not low either.

It's just that his short bit of Rap has a high probability of being edited into all sorts of "ghost-animal" videos, and it will likely accompany him for the rest of his life...

The next two female Singers and their guests also had their own trump cards.

One belted out a segment of dolphin sound, while the other danced a tango in the middle of singing.

Hearing the dolphin sound, if they were listeners from Earth, they would definitely think of the male Singer Vitas from the fighting nation at the first moment, and his globally renowned "Opera 2".

When Luo Mo was on Earth, by a stroke of luck, he had seen his live performance once.

Compared to this man known as the Prince of Dolphin Sound, the dolphin sound of the female Singer on stage was merely at the introductory level.

"But the fusion is quite good, there is no abrupt feeling, so it doesn't make people feel like it's an overly deliberate display of skill," Luo Mo added in his heart.

After the third group of Singers left the stage, it was Tong Shu and Wei Ran's turn.

As soon as Wei Ran appeared, the bullet comments in the Live Broadcast expressed their Surprise.

"Ah! Wei Ge actually really came!"

"Looking forward to him beating up Luo Mo on the live stage!"

"Expectation +1!"

Wei Ran often promoted Luo Mo's new works, but Luo Mo's works always whetted his appetite, so his promotional line was always just one sentence: "Comrades, I've been hooked again! It's so good that I want to beat him up!"

At the same time, many people could not help but sigh at Tong Shu's growth.

Back during the "Creating Idols" period, Wei Ran had still pointed things out to him at least three times on the show.

Now, the former trainee could already perform on the same stage as the Music Mentor from the variety show.

And the song they brought was naturally from Luo Mo's hand.

The song title—"Notebook".

This is an old song, but many people have perhaps heard the climax of this song.

The original singer of this song is the female Singer Chen Huilin.

But the main reason Luo Mo chose this song was because there is a saying popular in the Chinese music scene on Earth: "There is a kind of Romance song called Zhou Chuanxiong."

The Lyricist, composer, and Arranger of this song all came from the hands of 【Zhou Chuanxiong】, also known as 【Xiao Gang】.

This Singer's life experienced ups and downs, great rises and falls, and many hardships.

At his peak, he withdrew from the music scene due to illness; now that he has returned, the music scene itself is sick.

Opportunities for him to sing are now truly very, very few.

This "Notebook", Zhou Chuanxiong himself has also sung, released in the form of a single, singing out another kind of flavor.

Sigh, it's just a pity that after the era of everyone racing arrived, the chorus part was spoofed by people as: "Loved until it hurt, hurt until I cried."

In "Time Concert", Lin Zhixuan and Zhou Chuanxiong also sang this song together.

However, with Lin Zhixuan's unique cocktail singing style and his artistic Bel Canto vocal technique, many listeners jokingly remarked: "No matter how sad the song is, he sings hope into it."

"Lin Zhixuan: Brother only says he loves you with his mouth, but doesn't have you in his heart."

"Lin Zhixuan burned Zhou Chuanxiong's Diary."

However, looking at the song's design, it actually follows a progression from being unable to let go to walking out of it.

Tong Shu and Wei Ran both have their own unique vocal styles, and at the same time, when the two sing relatively deep songs, they can both make people feel a strong sense of resonance and immersion.

And the lyrics of this song are truly humble from the very first line.

"【Opening the Notebook I carry with me,

Writing down many things, all about you.

You hate being left out in the cold,

Accustomed to being waited for,

Only looking for me when you're lonely.】"

The whole song is started by Wei Ran.

Netizens have always evaluated his voice and singing like this: "Listening to it is like having tasted the bitterness of Romance ten thousand times."

"But in reality, he hasn't had any scandals, doesn't seem to have ever been in a relationship, and is often suspected of being gay, having a Romance with Li Ge."

In the chorus part of the song, section A is also led by Wei Ran, with Tong Shu providing backing vocals.

This point will be swapped when it reaches section B.

"【Loved until it hurt, hurt until I cried.

Cried until I was tired, page after page of persistence in the Diary.

Recording your good, like an addictive poison,

It repeatedly deceives me.】"

The appearance of this content made many viewers in the midst of emotional struggle fall into silence, and some male viewers even lit a cigarette without realizing it.

Yes, people are always very strange.

When together, they like to look for clues to prove that you don't love me.

But after separating, they start to fall into memories, savoring the bits and pieces of the past over and over again to prove that you still love me.

—What for?

So, is there really a "Notebook" in this song?

Perhaps, that is just a memory in your mind that you are unwilling to forget.

Time can only heal those who are willing to get better, but the good that the other person once did for you might just be like a slow-acting poison.

At the very end of the song stage, the two repeated the chorus once. But this time, it was no longer a matter of who was backing whom, but both singing with abandon.

That sense of struggle in the relationship and the burning emotions were expressed vividly and thoroughly by the two Singers.

Whether anyone would actually be moved to tears, Luo Mo did not know.

He only knew that Tong Shu and Wei Ran both performed extremely, extremely well.

As the song ended, applause thundered, and the professional jury also gave an ultra-high evaluation.

The entire song had no excessive display of skill, nor any Killer trump cards or big moves.

Instead, it very simply returned everything back to the 【Love Song】 itself!

When Tong Shu and Wei Ran walked off the stage, Xue Ning and Tian Ming of the Fengge Group, along with Guest Singer Li Ge, were already waiting at the stage entrance.

Only after the Fengge Group finished Singing would it be the turn of Luo Mo, the 【King of Love Songs】 from the previous season, to perform in honor.

And during his stage time, the production team would just happen to tally the votes for the 5 Singers and provide a ranking.

As for things like Luo Mo's appearance causing viewership ratings and online streaming data to hit new highs, that was just a trivial side matter, not worth mentioning!

Luo Mo was not worried about the Fengge Group's upcoming performance.

Wei Ran and Tong Shu sang a mainstream love song, about romance and love.

But the three of them were not.

That was an emotion on a different level.

An emotion that perhaps all people of Huaxia have in their bones, in the depths of their hearts!

"Let us broaden our perspective," Luo Mo said in his heart.
