Chapter 625: 《Red Bean》

As previously mentioned, the song title "Love You" is very common, and the Blue Star music scene has a vast number of works with the same name.

But Luo Mo believes that this "Love You" by the Aurora Girls will absolutely not be any less popular than the other "Love You" songs!

"You have to know, there are currently the 【Four Famous Children】 on Earth: Liu Genghong Girls, Wang Xinling Boys, Lone Warrior Kids, and 'Back Back Back' Old Kids."

"And this song is really quite suitable for singing at KTV."

"If a sweet girl sang this 'Love You' at KTV, the atmosphere in the private room would probably be great," Luo Mo thought to himself.

As for whether it would be the same on Blue Star, with so many men Dancing to "Love You" as on Earth, Luo Mo did not know.

"In any case, the version I danced is impossible to post online," he said in his heart.

Although he is a person without much Idol baggage, he also does not want to trigger an "evil wind" by his own efforts.

A song "Love You" served as a warm-up, completely stirring up the atmosphere of this year's New Year's Eve Gala.

If nothing goes wrong, this will become another representative work for the Aurora Girls.

After stepping off the stage, the six girl group members all let out a long sigh of relief.

Even the Leg Fairy Jiang Ningxi, who always has a cold temperament, had a slightly excited look on her face.

Everyone performed very well just now; whether it was Singing or Dancing, they could almost be given full marks!

Under the condition of full live microphones, they were already super satisfied to be able to achieve this kind of singing and dancing effect.

"I wonder if Music Director Luo will be satisfied," several people thought in their hearts.

After the performance ended, everyone was finally completely relaxed.

The women returned to the lounge together to change their outfits.

After changing out of their stage costumes, they would take a car and leave the venue first.

"Oh my, Xiao Shen, your shirt is completely intact!"

"Go away! Don't touch randomly!"

"Just a touch, we aren't little kids anymore."

Everyone had the leisure to start frolicking again.

I have to say, the atmosphere behind the scenes of a girl group is something else!

It's so girl-on-girl.

On the other side, in Shencheng.

Xu Lianying, the diva from Cilong Entertainment known as the 【Queen of Love Songs】, received a call from a staff member at the company.

"Hmm? Aurora Girls?"

"The song they sang at the New Year's Eve Gala is also called 'Love You'?"

Honestly, she didn't really care about the song titles overlapping.

Although "Love You" is not considered very popular among her songs, as long as someone else's "Love You" doesn't sound as good as hers, then the popularity of her song might actually warm up.

By then, sentences in this format will appear on the internet: "I want to go back and listen to Xu Lianying's 'Love You' to cleanse my ears."

The Aurora Girls are arguably already the number one girl group in the country, but still, a girl group is just a girl group, not worth mentioning.

Holding the phone, Xu Lianying seemed to recall something and asked nervously: "Did Luo Mo write it?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Lianying's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.

A girl group is indeed not worth mentioning, but if it's a girl group plus Luo Mo...

After the call ended, Xu Lianying thought: "Did Luo Mo write this song with the intention of having the same title?"

But she quickly dismissed this thought.

With Luo Mo's current energy and popularity, it's only others who would try to ride his coattails; could he possibly need to ride someone else's?

"I can only say that I'm unlucky," Xu Lianying sighed.

What made her feel most helpless was that she didn't have any of these emotions: feeling stifled, Anger, or wanting to compete... none of them.

Back then, because Cilong's Music Director Yuan Hewen had friction with Luo Mo, she had also competed against Luo Mo.

But looking at the entire Blue Star music scene, Luo Mo wouldn't dare say he hacked his way from the Southern Heaven Gate all the way to Penglai East Road, but even if he hadn't gone a full circle, he had at least gone through half of it.

After being taught a lesson so many times, everyone gradually became numb and accustomed to it.

"Don't provoke him"—these three words have already become the consensus of the music scene.

Xu Lianying picked up her phone and searched online: Love You, Aurora Girls.

After watching the entire stage performance, she had only one thought:

"Even I think it's sweet!"

This Queen of Love Songs from Cilong Entertainment developed a thought in her heart: "I really want to ask Luo Mo for a song."

"Director Yuan is a fool!"

After "Love You" ended, what followed closely was Wang Rong's sketch.

This sketch was above standard, and in the end, it didn't resort to emotional manipulation; it just appropriately added a tiny bit of value, and then concluded amidst laughter.

It's New Year's Eve, after all; it's all about being happy.

Many viewers watching the Live Broadcast felt that this sketch was particularly funny.

"Wang Rong is still that same Wang Rong!"

"Hurry and give me back the touching Cheng Yong!"

"He really does have a bit of humor in him."

"I feel like it's better than most of the sketches on the Spring Festival Gala!"

Once Wang Rong's sketch also ended, it was time for a dance program.

It must be said that in every major gala, all types of programs are criticized by everyone; for instance, the songs aren't pleasant to listen to, or the skits are forced and melodramatic, and so on.

But on Blue Star, dance programs have always been very Ox, and every year they are able to bring the audience a different kind of shock.

This time, the performers for the dance program were those deaf-mute girls that Luo Mo had taken note of previously during the Spring Festival Gala.

Ning Dan was likely also stunned by them during the previous Spring Festival Gala, so this time, while directing the New Year's Eve Gala herself, she immediately sent them an invitation.

These synchronized movements, this visual impact—if no one said they were deaf-mute, it is likely that everyone would not associate them with that aspect at all.

At this moment, backstage at the New Year's Eve Gala, Xu Chujing was already touching up her makeup with the help of a makeup artist.

There was about twenty minutes left until she went on stage.

Judging by the makeup, Xu Chujing's look today was relatively light and plain.

This was to suit the stage effect.

After finishing the touch-up, the door was knocked, and Luo Mo walked in to "visit the set."

"How is the preparation going?" Luo Mo glanced at Xu Chujing, who was wearing a dark red long dress.

"It's just about ready," Xu Chujing said.

She was very relaxed, and not a hint of nervousness could be seen.

After all, she is a top diva who has been on the Spring Festival Gala more times than she can count; a mere New Year's Eve Gala is nothing but a small scene.

In this regard, it is completely different from the Aurora Girls.

When the time was about right, Xu Chujing got up and headed toward the stage entrance.

"You should go back and prepare too; there's no need to specially walk me over," she said to Luo Mo.

"Alright then," Luo Mo replied.

A few minutes later, the hosts on stage began to handle the transitions between programs.

When they announced Xu Chujing's name, the bullet comments in the Live Broadcast room immediately began to flood the screen.

"Jing! Jing!"

"Where is the Mo Xu CP army!?"

"It's been a long time since I've heard Jing's live performance."

"Luo Mo on lyrics and composition, Jing singing—expectations are maxed out."

The stage entrance opened, and Xu Chujing began to go on stage.

After she stood still on the stage wearing her dark red long dress, the camera switched over.

The song title began to appear, and below it were a few lines of text that were incredibly familiar to everyone.

"《Red Bean》."

"Lyricist: Luo Mo."

"Composer: Luo Mo."

"Arranger: Luo Mo."

Once this song title came out, it sparked the interest of many viewers.

Especially some industry insiders.

In Beijing, Teacher Lv Yi, the Number One Luo Fan, was sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast of the New Year's Eve Gala with his daughter.

His daughter had just come of age this year, and her looks followed her mother's, so she was delicate and lovely.

The well-known composer Lv Yi indeed did not look ugly, it was just that his appearance was a bit casual.

Now, looking at the song title, Lv Yi tested his daughter: "Do you know what the other name for a red bean is?"

The girl smiled slightly and said, "Dad, this question really can't stump me; a red bean is also called a 【Love Sickness Seed】."

Lv Yi, whose attempt to show off had failed, was somewhat surprised and said, "Hey, you actually know that?"

"Of course, there are even boys at our school who give girls a bag of red beans; I don't know what they're thinking—take them home to boil and eat?" The girl seemed to recall something and said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Lv Yi immediately became nervous and said, "No one gave you any, right?"

The girl retorted indignantly, "Dad, what kind of question is that? If your daughter had never been liked by anyone, that would be too embarrassing, but if there were, I wouldn't know how to answer you either."

Lv Yi was choked up, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, only said, "Fine, fine, listen to the song, listen to the song."

The prelude to the song had ended at this moment, and Xu Chujing, holding the microphone, began to sing.

"【Not yet having properly felt,

The climate of snowflakes blooming,

We tremble together, and will better understand,

What is Gentle.】"

Yes, this "Red Bean" is the famous "Red Bean" from Earth, sung by the diva Wang Fei.

Of course, there are also many people who have heard the version that is a cover by Khalil Fong.

What Luo Mo wrote for Xu Chujing was naturally the original version.

These two versions still have quite a significant difference in musical style.

Looking at the lyrics, it speaks of a scene when the weather is cold, which fits the current season.

However, in this era where everyone is a Dirty King, the line "【We tremble together, and will better understand, what is Gentle】" is Afraid to be taken out by silly netizens to "drive."

These days, even though gas prices are so expensive, everyone is still speeding all the way!

——Drive! Drive to the edge of the city!

But, it must be said that as soon as Xu Chujing opened her mouth, it made people feel that this song was beautiful and very comfortable to listen to.

It sounded somewhat scattered, but it was a case of the form being loose while the spirit remained intact; the emotion was still very much on point.

Even though this song was very soothing, the feeling it created was very rich.

As mentioned before, Xu Chujing has a wide vocal range and very strong high notes.

However, in terms of mid-to-low range, she is also very steady, and her timbre is uniquely characteristic.

This is the New Year's Eve Gala, so when Luo Mo was choosing a song, he would avoid some overly sentimental love songs.

For him, this is quite good. Holding so many classics in his hands, it is tiring to choose; narrowing the scope actually makes it easier.

"Red Bean" is just right; it won't affect the New Year's Eve atmosphere, and it is also very classic and pleasant to listen to.

This song comes from Wang Fei's early album—"Singing Tour"—and is one of the representative works in this album.

And many people might not know that this song, which is still popular today and which many people never tire of listening to, was released in... 1998!
