Chapter 415: 《Mountain and River Map》

The spotlight on the stage had already reached the stage entrance.

The entrance doors opened, the mist created by dry ice began to diffuse and rise, and three figures strode out from within.

Once the audience saw clearly that the Guest Singer was Li Ge, many let out screams.

Li Ge has always been known as the "Hardcore Rap First Person."

After Tian Ming shot to fame with Luo Mo's help, many people loved to compare the two of them.

Yet, no one expected that they would actually collaborate!

Undoubtedly, Luo Mo must have been the one pulling the strings behind this.

In reality, Li Ge and Wei Ran had asked Luo Mo several times in private, wanting to request songs from him.

Now that Luo Mo was willing to set up two stages for them to collaborate, the two of them naturally came running eagerly.

As for Wei Ran, after seeing the lyrics and composition, he felt fine, thinking to himself: "High quality as always."

But for Li Ge, because this song was quite special, after he received the lyrics and composition, it could be said to have greatly refreshed his understanding.

"So rap can be played like this! And lyrics can be written like this!?" Li Ge felt a door to a new world had just opened for him.

To him, this song was not just as simple as a collaboration track.

On a certain level, it was also a form of enlightenment.

——It broadened his approach to lyric writing!

He made up his mind that for his next album, he would definitely produce a song of the same type to see the effect.

Li Ge had never heard this type of lyrics in any other rap song!

He even thought: "This song could make it to the Spring Festival Gala!"

……..

……..

On stage, the mist was still lingering.

For this song, Ke Ming and Ning Dan had spent a large sum of money on stage special effects.

There was no helping it; given the subject matter and the song genre, if the effects weren't grand and spectacular enough, they would likely get roasted.

Fortunately, the production team had plenty of money, and Ning Dan was the type who didn't like small-scale things and preferred big spectacles, so she was very willing to spend.

Once all three Singers were ready, the song title appeared on the big screen.

——《Mountain and River Map》!

Many audience members looked at this name and assumed it was an ancient-style love song.

However, it was nothing of the sort!

Amidst the sound of Chinese classical instruments rich with a strong sense of rhythm, Xue Ning was the first to pick up the microphone.

"Is that the sound of a pipa?" many in the audience thought.

But they had no time to think.

Because amidst the accompaniment, Xue Ning began to sing directly.

And as soon as she started, just like the previous few songs, she pushed the tone and atmosphere of the entire piece to a very high level.

She didn't sing any content, just accompanied the music with a vocalization: "Oh—yi—ya—"

The pitch was high, the vocal support was solid, the breath was powerful, and it was long and lingering!

Lv Yi, sitting in the professional judge's seat, had his eyes light up in an instant.

"This is Mongolian Long Tune!?"

Just this simple opening line made all the audience members feel incredibly satisfied!

"How did she do that!?"

"Xue Ning is too strong!"

"My god, how is this sound produced?"

"It's so grand! Xue Ning is so cool!"

"This is the strength of the National Team!"

Yes, this "Mountain and River Map" was the first time Phoenix Legend had challenged a music style centered on rap.

Therefore, many joked that Ceng Yi was exhausted this time, as it was the first time he had so many lyrics; before, he was just earning some pocket money from Ling Hua.

But in reality, in this song, those few "Long Tune" segments by Ling Hua during the rap parts were the finishing touch!

Her heaven-defying Long Tune and Ceng Yi's deep, powerful voice could achieve a complementary effect.

At this very moment, many viewers watching the Live Broadcast also thought it would be like usual, with Xue Ning responsible for the large opening section.

But in reality, Tian Ming picked up the microphone at this moment.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned the moment they heard the lyrics.

"【Look at these mountains, ten thousand ravines and a thousand cliffs connecting one river after another.

Let these rivers, stars rushing and currents racing, form one bay after another.

Compose this map, with phoenixes dancing and peaks too high to climb.

Splashing the ink, the brush saturated with ink to moisten my magnificent mountains and rivers!】"

In the first three lines, the words "Mountain and River Map" were already sung.

The "ink" (Mo) character at the end added a bit of fun because the Lyricist was named Luo Mo.

Tian Ming's rap style this time returned from the "social death" of the previous two rounds to the brilliant radiance of the first round when he sang "Seabed."

His voice was so resonant and powerful!

At the same time, the style of this song also made many sensitive listeners realize first: "This is not at all the ancient-style love song we guessed!"

And the stage special effects began to coordinate from the moment the first line of lyrics appeared.

When he sang "mountain," mountain ranges appeared on the stage.

When he sang "river," rivers appeared on the stage.

When he sang "picture," a scroll slowly unfurled.

When he sang "ink," a trail of ink-colored brushstrokes began to dance like dragons and snakes.

—A combination of sight and sound, the effect was explosive!

The sense of rhythm in the entire song became even more intense at this moment; the tempo began to accelerate and became dense.

It was time for the Hardcore Rap First Person to perform.

Li Ge picked up the microphone, hitting the beats with precision, as if he were a beat-hitting machine.

"【No matter the eight thousand miles of clouds and moon, a Man must stand forward."

We have crossed those three mountains and five peaks, and we must still look forward.

We have traveled across the five lakes and four seas, never speaking of bitterness or hardship.

Regardless of the stars and moon, this vast land is always my companion!】"

Amidst this dense and relatively fast-paced delivery, it was always accompanied by Xue Ning's chanting and her Long Tune.

Many audience members felt that their goosebumps had never faded!

As for the Singers who were already sitting off-stage resting, they had only one thought in their hearts: "If this song had been placed earlier, we would have just withdrawn from the competition!"

It deserved to be the finale!

Otherwise, no one else could play!

The barrage comments swept in at this moment.

"Rap can be like this?"

"I have never seen lyrics for this style of Rap!"

"That group of people in underground Rap, come over here and learn!"

"All they know is to sing about the dead, sing about drugs, do lewd stuff, sing about money, and sing in English!"

"It's inexplicably ignited!"

However, this is what makes you make a fuss, this is what makes you ignited?

This is just the beginning!

The content that follows is the true explosive point.

It is hard to imagine that even though it was just one "place name" after another appearing, it made people feel infinite pride and made their blood boil.

It is precisely because of this part of the lyrics that many people said: "The whole song is just singing: Laozi's country is just that fucking big!"

Of course, there is also beauty.

Seeing this, Tian Ming and Li Ge picked up their microphones at the same time, while Xue Ning stepped back, leaving the stage to the two of them and continuing to willingly play a supporting role.

"【To the highest point, RKZ, standing on the Himalayas peak.

To the furthest east, heavy snow falls, heavy snow drifting by Mohe.

To the furthest west, recalling the smoke of war, the wind circles around KS.

To the furthest south, by the blue sea, the dragon rises from the sea with surging waves.】"

These kinds of lyrics, paired with the stage special effects, were truly incredibly compelling.

The barrage comments exploded!

"Hip Hop circle, come over and learn!"

"Look at these lyrics from Luo Mo!"

"Luo Mo is the King of Pacifying Hip-Hop; if you aren't convinced, you'll just have to hold it in!"

"Why do I suddenly feel so proud!"

"I can only think of eight characters: vast territory, rich in resources!"

At this moment, no matter how slow the audience was, they realized that this song was not some mainstream love song at all.

But could what it sang not be "emotion"?

Perhaps, within it, there is a sense of pride, a sense of patriotism, and so on.

After finishing this section, Tian Ming and Li Ge both stepped to the left and right, clearing the middle position for Xue Ning.

From the beginning, having been a supporting act and using her Long Tune to add the finishing touch, Xue Ning picked up the microphone for the first time.

In the entire song, the part sung by Xue Ning was actually very little.

But these few lines were able to push her vocal characteristics and wide vocal range to the extreme.

The content of the first two lines was relatively low and sonorous.

Starting from the third line, it became high-pitched.

And the two characters "China" at the end of the fourth line had a feeling of soaring straight into the clouds!

"【Wielding the brush to paint my mountains and rivers,

Sword edge a thousand fathoms deep to paint this majesty,

The surging river water, the brush dances like dragons and snakes,

My devotion to painting remains unchanged, painting my China!】"

The final character "country" made the listeners shudder.

These two characters themselves have an extraordinary significance.

Coupled with her outrageous high note, which even added a vocal turn, it was even more shocking to people.

Lv Yi gasped upon hearing this.

"This last note is at least an A5!"

"Being able to sing it up there isn't actually rare."

"Although the pitch is very high, there are still some capable female Singers in the country who can stably Output A5 live."

"But, she even added some vocal runs."

"The most outrageous part is that Xue Ning is a bit too composed; isn't this a bit too easy for her!"

She wasn't even standing there singing just now; she was walking forward while singing!

This kind of calm and collected demeanor, this kind of self-confidence and poise, made her whole person seem to be glowing!

Fengge Group, carrying a label of "tacky-but-catchy"?

Fengge Group, truly not liked by young people?

Perhaps in the past they were, but after having Luo Mo, it is already different.

There is a viewer who has liked Fengge Group for 6 years, liking them back when their songs didn't have such high popularity, simply admiring their Singing ability.

This viewer couldn't help but leave a comment in the comment section:

"Recently saw someone say they were embarrassed to admit they were a fan of Fengge Group, laughed. Little brothers and sisters, stand at attention, stand straight, your Idols are national-level!"

If it were in the past, many netizens would probably have been unable to resist flaming such a slightly arrogant comment.

But today, they have no choice but to be convinced.

"Xue Ning's final high note, I feel like it sang my skull open!"

"Tian Ming is amazing! His breath is sufficient, his voice is thick; singing this kind of song about the magnificent mountains and rivers is just too suitable!"

"What we want is grandeur! This kind of song, those who aren't grand aren't fit to sing it!"

"Respectfully welcome the birth of another Rap Legend on the ground!"

The song soon arrived at the B section, but the lyrics for the Rap part were not repeated.

Why?

How could this magnificent landscape be finished in just a few words?

There is plenty more content to sing!

Just listening to Tian Ming pick up the microphone and continue to sing loudly.

The following content made many listeners feel that this song by Luo Mo was tailor-made for Fengge Group.

"【Want to fly back to the grasslands to play the zither under the moonlight,"

"Hiding my body in the desert, performing my Dunhuang Dance with golden feathers,"

"Perched in the most mysterious mountain forests of Dali, Yunnan,"

"Watching that phoenix eventually fly out a Legend!】"

From the moment the first line appeared, a golden-red light served as a stage effect, circling before the eyes of the viewers watching the Live Broadcast.

And when the word "phoenix" was sung, the golden-red light began Burning with flames, transforming into a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens!

Fengge Group's songs are still the same, still the old style.

Other things, we won't mention for now.

The most basic thing is to let everyone listen and feel satisfied!

The 【Long Tune】 began to appear again, and Xue Ning, this strongest support, began her crazy Output once more.

After the B section of the song ended, the lyrics began to return to the initial Rap part.

At this time, no one felt it was repeated content, but rather that it was strengthening the content.

All listeners became more and more hyped the more they listened.

Many people were puzzled in their hearts: "I'm just listening to a song, how did I develop a feeling of pride in being born in Huaxia?"

Amidst a violent drum beat, the song had a short half-second pause.

In this half-second, the three Singers simultaneously picked up their microphones to perform the final two-line chorus for "Mountain and River Map".

"【This mountain—this river—this map—splashed with ink!】"

"【This mountain—this river—this map—splashed with ink!】"

The 【Long Tune】 from the very beginning of the song also reappeared at this moment.

It was as if a scroll was being opened from the start, and now it was being closed.

The 【Long Tune】 was done in one breath, and the performance was also done in one breath!

This group, I am Afraid, has caught a disease called "Live Performance Ox-ness Syndrome."

Even though the song had already finished, the barrage in the Live Broadcast was still overwhelming, and everyone was spamming the screen.

Amidst the dense "blood boiling," there were also a few lines mixed in—"It blew my skull off!"

(PS: First update, asking for monthly tickets!

Wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day! Also, am I the kind of person who takes leave on Valentine's Day? May Zong definitely needs to be accompanied, but the words definitely need to be typed too, um, asking for a monthly ticket.

Finally, for a literary and entertainment author, if after we finish a work, it makes you like it, this is our highest honor.)
