Chapter 56: Battle of Techniques

In the practice room, Jiang Ningxi looked at Luo Mo, thinking of the scenes from middle school when he practiced the suona and opera.

Back then, there were classmates who made fun of him, thinking that playing the suona was just too ridiculous.

"We all play things like the trumpet, saxophone, or melodica."

"You playing the suona is just too funny."

"This Yueqi is both tacky and noisy, and it doesn't even look good; only a freak would learn it!"

Jiang Ningxi initially had some prejudice against the suona too, but she was fortunate enough to witness a live demonstration by Luo Mo's Senior Brother Liu.

Because the lesson schedule that day was for Luo Mo to learn the suona first, followed by Jiang Ningxi's math tutoring.

"I, Luo Mo, love to study!"

Then, after Liu Shixiong finished a piece, her perception was completely refreshed.

Liu Shixiong is truly amazing!

Shen Yinuo looked Luo Mo up and down and said, "I really can't imagine what you look like playing the suona."

In this day and age, I've really never seen a handsome guy play the suona.

"If we add suona elements to the public performance... we could give it a try," Luo Mo said.

"Huh?" This time, it was Shen Yinuo who was shocked: "Are you really going to add the suona to the third public performance?"

This exceeded her understanding, and she suddenly found it even harder to comprehend.

Dancing and the suona?

What kind of dance is this asking me to perform?

Luo Mo glanced at her and said, "You seem very surprised; do you think the suona can't pull it off?"

Shen Yinuo shook her head and said seriously, "That's not it. I really didn't know much about Chinese Classical Dance instruments before; I learned the piano when I was a kid."

"But after spending a long time with Jiang Jiang, she's always popularizing these to me, and I truly realize how powerful these instruments are. I just can't visualize it all of a sudden."

Hearing this, Luo Mo turned his head to look at Jiang Ningxi.

Jiang Ningxi did not dare to meet his eyes.

The reason she was interested in opera and Chinese Classical Dance instruments was entirely due to Luo Mo's influence.

Luo Mo smiled and said, "Actually, the suona can be applied to all kinds of occasions and stages. Just like you said earlier, Senior Brother Liu played a segment of 'Confession Night'."

"I can even say frankly, let alone violin pieces like 'Confession Night', the suona can play them; even with Electronic Music, the suona can produce an effect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yinuo was directly stunned and said, "For real!?"

In recent years, Electronic Music has become increasingly popular; young people love to club, after all.

Many Electronic Music festival scenes are incredibly explosive. Especially the Electronic Music festivals in some water parks—they are so refreshing and intense.

Wearing bikinis and clubbing in the pool, and standing in rows, squeezed together to dance.

Of course, some people don't like clubbing and wouldn't go to Electronic Music festivals; they just purely love listening to Electronic Music.

However, if you say that the suona and Electronic Music are combined, that would be too shocking, right?

In any case, everyone present was a bit skeptical.

Luo Mo smiled and didn't say much. In his past life, he had seen too many shocking suona performances; people really had played it to perfection.

As for the combination of the suona and songs, the first time he was shocked was by the "Great Demon King" Tan Jing's "Nine Children".

As mentioned before, Tan Jing had also sung "Red Actor", and her cover made netizens feel the terror of the National Team.

And her performance in singing-based variety shows was also incomparably stunning; "Nine Children" was one of her god-tier live performances.

It's just that this song isn't suitable for the "Creating Idols" public performance, nor is it suitable for Luo Mo's team to sing.

Furthermore, this song has a background; it is inextricably linked to "Red Sorghum", so it would be even less appropriate.

"Nine Children" without "Red Sorghum" would ultimately lack a soul.

In many places, it would also be unable to maintain logical consistency.

Luo Mo looked at everyone and said, "I have already thought of the overall direction. Trust me, it will be a relatively novel stage."

"By novel, do you mean the song or the dance?" Shen Yinuo asked.

"It's everything," Luo Mo said confidently.

………

………

As time moved forward, Li Junyi felt that he had come to the right place.

He is a very talented choreographer with strong dance foundations, but in other teams, he usually served as a tool-man.

But in the Anonymous Team, he could feel Brother Mo's trust and importance.

Luo Mo had indeed already decided on the song in his heart. This song also had a very explosive dance version, but it needed to be modified and expanded, otherwise, it wouldn't be suitable for the Anonymous Team.

He had some ideas in his mind, so he would often communicate with Li Junyi.

For this public performance, Luo Mo would still serve as the C-Position, and he and Shen Yinuo would be responsible for the main dance content.

Luo Mo has a foundation in Classical Dance, and it is very strong. As a girl group member, dancing is a necessary skill for Shen Yinuo. She also learned ballet and Classical Dance when she was young, just not as specialized as Luo Mo.

During these few days of choreography, Li Junyi had been completely won over by Luo Mo.

"Too explosive! Brother Mo's dance inspiration for the third public performance is simply too explosive!" Li Junyi exclaimed countless times in his heart.

He was truly shocked.

As for Shen Yinuo, when they were arranging the basic movements, she was a bit hesitant at first.

"Huh? We have to do role-playing too?" Shen Yinuo thought to herself.

Is it this stimulating?

Throughout the entire dance, she only needed to have physical contact with Luo Mo; the two of them were the core protagonists of the dance.

As for the subject matter of this dance, it was also somewhat sensitive.

But after she walked through the core parts of the entire dance, she was so excited she wanted to jump up.

All hesitation was thrown to the back of her mind.

"This is so interesting, it's truly too interesting!" This young lady's interest was thoroughly ignited.

And when she heard the Demo of the song recorded by Luo Mo, and then imagined the dance in her head, she got goosebumps all over!

If one were to say that "Big Fish" and "Red Actor" made people's bodies tremble and break out in goosebumps because of the singing.

Then, this third public performance is not just limited to the sense of hearing!

This is a dual stimulation of sight and sound; even after the dance ends, the realization that follows in your mind will make your hair stand on end!

Shen Yinuo suddenly felt that her luck was too good; it was fortunate that when Luo Mo was drawing lots, he picked her.

Ah, being picked feels so happy.

She had an intuition that this public performance might become her representative work.

Yes, a dignified star mentor, under the guidance of a trainee, is about to produce a representative work...

This led Shen Yinuo to throw herself into it wholeheartedly, focusing on rehearsals.

As time went by, she even forgot the real purpose of her coming to Luo Mo's group.

The matter of signing with Xinyu really couldn't be recalled amidst the busy rehearsals.

She hadn't managed to handle this man yet.

But this man had undoubtedly already gotten a handle on her.

On the other side, Jiang Ningxi's surveillance plan met with obstruction.

Aurora Girls is a well-known girl group, and their schedule is relatively full.

Shen Yinuo has to be busy with rehearsals for "Creating Idols," so many of Shen Yinuo's tasks have to be covered by Jiang Jiang instead.

Therefore, she can only occasionally come to visit the set; in reality, she cannot follow him the whole time.

This has led to Jiang Ningxi's work state being quite poor these days.

Every time she imagines her best friend potentially Dancing day and night with her only ex-boyfriend, she gets a splitting headache.

What gives her an even bigger headache is—I actually feel a headache over this matter!

Oh, this life that is painful to the point of wanting to die.

Woman, your heart is in chaos.

The General Director of "Creating Idols," Ning Dan, has also been in a busy state these past few days.

To be precise, ever since this talent show started recording, she hasn't had a moment of leisure.

At this moment, she is leaning halfway on the sofa, holding a tablet computer to check information about "Creating Idols" on the internet.

As she watched, her brows furrowed slightly.

She picked up her phone and called her assistant: "Xiao Zhou, help me search for those press releases about Luo Mo on the internet, as well as those marketing accounts, and see the recent trend."

After receiving the order, assistant Xiao Zhou began searching the internet together with several staff members, and then reported the general situation to Ning Dan.

After listening to Xiao Zhou's report over the phone, Ning Dan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Anti-Explosion?" She sneered.

As the Godmother of Talent Shows, she had long since become accustomed to this kind of operation.

In the past, when the internet wasn't so developed, this set of tricks wasn't popular.

Now that the internet is developed, public opinion, information, trends... many things can crush a person.

A person can become an overnight sensation, and can also become a street rat overnight.

Some unhealthy competitive environments have thus been created.

Some people indeed cannot withstand deep digging and have many dark histories.

But some are just smearing for the sake of smearing, directly spreading rumors.

And in recent years, this phenomenon has become increasingly intense in the entertainment industry.

Capital is exercising its terrifying power; those without much background are easily slapped to death.

Ning Dan didn't think too much and made a decision.

How you act in the outside world is your business. But don't reach your hands into my variety show.

She dialed several phone calls in a row and took some measures.

"Xiao Liu, you work hard these two days and re-edit the first half of the third episode; just focus on Luo Mo's content," Ning Dan said to the editor of "Creating Idols."

"Take a look to see if there are any shots or words that are easily taken out of context by others. Also, don't use editing means to create too much show effect on him, especially those that easily trigger unnecessary heated discussions," Ning Dan said.

After instructing the editor, she also made a call to the operations side.

After thinking about it, she also contacted the public relations team, telling them to pay more attention, but to wait and see for now.

In short, one cannot create opportunities for others.

The battle between big shots has begun.

After doing all this, Ning Dan leaned halfway on the sofa, and the young man's perfect performance on stage time and time again appeared in her mind.

"Others are one thing, but him—you cannot touch him!" Ning Dan pursed her plump, sexy red lips.

Luo Mo, I will protect him no matter what.

—So moist.

Second update, countdown to the launch; it will launch on Thursday the 19th, and the update volume will increase after the launch.
