Chapter 626: Have You Heard Wang Wei's
Xu Chujing, in a dark red long dress, stood gracefully on the stage singing, looking like a beautiful landscape.
She continued to sing:
"【Before I have held your hand,
walked across the desolate sand dunes,
perhaps from now on, I will learn to cherish,
the eternity of heaven and earth.】"
The song had a strong sense of imagery; listening to it, it was as if scenes were emerging in one's mind.
At this moment, the six members of the Aurora Girls had already left the live broadcast site of the New Year's Eve Gala in their van.
The most interesting thing was that even though they had just performed on the New Year's Eve Gala stage, Shen Yinuo was currently holding her phone, using mobile data to watch the live broadcast.
Everyone in the van could hear Xu Chujing's singing.
"Jing's singing technique, I'm afraid I couldn't reach it no matter how many years I practice," Han Ziyi couldn't help but exclaim.
In the girl group, she was responsible for hitting high notes, and many so-called "killing parts" were handled by her.
However, her mid-to-low range was very average and lacked distinct characteristics.
That is the good thing about girl groups; you don't need to be all-around, just be responsible for the parts you excel at.
Therefore, if someone in a girl group doesn't get many lines in a song, then there must be a major problem with their singing technique.
"It sounds so good! A song written by Luo Mo for his girlfriend to sing is just different, huh!" Shen Yinuo exclaimed.
Dong Dong nodded and said, "I think this song is quite sophisticated. It sounds very simple, but it also feels not simple. Jiang Jiang, don't you think so?"
Jiang Ningxi was the only intellectual in the girl group; back when they were in middle school, she was the one who tutored Luo Mo.
Jiang Ningxi, however, was a bit distracted: "Ah? What did you just say?"
"Eh, you weren't listening. Forget it, it's not important anyway," Dong Dong said.
Everyone started to continue listening to the song intently.
Xu Chujing's singing echoed in the van:
"【Sometimes, sometimes,
I will believe that everything has an end.
Reunions and departures, both have their times,
nothing will last forever.】"
This narrative style of singing was not overly sentimental, yet it could still stir up corners of many people's memories.
At this moment, backstage at the New Year's Eve Gala, Ning Dan glanced at the real-time ratings and online data, the smile on her face growing even richer.
For a director who makes variety shows to come and direct a festival gala, such an opportunity is hard to come by.
It is precisely because of this that the burden on her shoulders is heavy, and the psychological pressure is also great.
Ning Dan is a woman with a strong sense of career, and also a woman with great ambition.
The Youth Day Gala she directed, with Luo Mo's help, had excellent word-of-mouth and results.
If this year's New Year's Eve Gala also goes well, then, if she takes another step forward...
She didn't even dare to think about it!
It can only be said that all of this was given by Luo Mo.
After all, it was Luo Mo who prepared the god-tier variety show "Classic of China" first, and only then could she catch the eyes of CCTV and the Review Department, leading to subsequent opportunities.
Many times, Ning Dan herself would feel a bit dazed.
Luo Mo came out of her "Creating Idols," and how many years have passed since then?
As for what level he can reach in the future, Ning Dan feels she cannot imagine it.
Such a god-like person is unprecedented in the entertainment industry.
She only hopes now that when Luo Mo goes on stage to sing himself, the ratings and online data can rise a bit more—no, rise a lot more!
—This damn greed of a mature woman!
On stage, Xu Chujing was singing.
The entire stage did not have excessive stage effects, nor were there any backup dancers, appearing very plain.
But because the quality of the song was there, it was able to attract all the audience.
At this moment, Luo Mo was holding his phone, sending a WeChat message to He Yuanguang.
"Guang Shu, watching the gala?"
"Watching it. Since you instructed me, I'm definitely watching," He Yuanguang replied.
The only thing that made him feel puzzled was that it was one thing for Luo Mo to ask him to watch, but he even ordered everyone at Tongguang Studio to watch together.
Why was this?
To contribute a bit to the ratings and online data?
That's definitely impossible; would they be short of that little bit of popularity?
He guessed that Luo Mo had other profound intentions.
You have to know, what is the main business of Tongguang Studio? It's Animation!
Presumably, Luo Mo had new ideas again.
He Yuanguang was still looking forward to this, because Luo Mo had been busy with live-action films recently and hadn't set up a new project for Tongguang Studio for a long time.
Originally, "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" was a huge project; everyone was busy as a dog, pulling in the same direction, and staying up late was a common occurrence.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the new guys in the studio earned enough money, based on their prematurely aged looks, they would definitely have no advantage in the matchmaking market!
But now that *Nezha* was completely finished, He Yuanguang couldn't help but feel restless again.
If this man didn't get busy again, his wife would be urging him to have a second child!
But.......
But!
Sigh——!
He Yuanguang held his phone and sent a message to Luo Mo on WeChat: "I know you love to keep people in suspense, but you could at least reveal a little bit of the reason to me."
"Reason?"
"Of course it's because I'm going to start a new project!" Luo Mo said directly.
"What project?" He Yuanguang's eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed for an answer.
"You guys should finish watching the *Red Bean* performance first; it has a bit of a connection to this performance," Luo Mo said.
After saying this, he didn't say anything more, muttering to himself: "I love to keep people in suspense, so I just won't tell you!"
The new project Luo Mo was preparing this time had many things in common with the previous few projects.
The biggest commonality was that they were all cut from the same cloth: short!
There were only a few episodes in total, and the duration was especially short.
However, the reputation and ratings were ridiculously high!
The rating for this *Animation* on Bilibili was as high as....... 9.9 points!
47,000 people gave it a final rating of 9.9; what kind of concept is that!?
Although this *Animation* couldn't be considered particularly popular, in Luo Mo's view, it had its own unique significance.
Especially for him, a transmigrator!
At this moment, He Yuanguang put down his phone and looked up at the screen on the television.
The song *Red Bean* had already reached its end during the course of their chat.
Honestly, he quite liked this song.
Reaching middle age, not only was his head devoid of hair, but in many aspects, he was also a bit behind the times.
He Yuanguang couldn't really listen to many of the songs currently popular in the music scene.
This included some of the songs written by Luo Mo, which He Yuanguang also couldn't quite get into.
But this *Red Bean* was different; he found it particularly comfortable to listen to.
These days, many songs sounded a bit too noisy and chaotic to him.
This kind of song, however, was just right.
He saw Xu Chujing standing on the stage, *Singing* the final verse.
"【But sometimes,
I would rather choose to linger and not let go,
Waiting until the scenery has been seen through,
Perhaps you will accompany me to watch the gentle water flow for a long time.】"
The singing voice swirled around the venue, making people intoxicated.
Everyone thought that this performance was about to end just like that.
However, stage effects suddenly appeared during the *Live Broadcast*!
As mentioned before, this song was quite plain from beginning to end, as if there were no big spectacles.
However, this was not the style of the money-burning Ning Dan!
A mature woman like our Run Jie just loves things big!
And so, all the money was spent on the ending part.
Luo Mo had given Ning Dan some suggestions regarding the stage effects, and she adopted all of them, achieving the best results.
In the bullet comments, many viewers were already praising it.
"Damn! Cool!"
"These effects look comfortable!"
"The stage effects are great!"
One could see white mist appearing on the stage, and then, there was a sense of a brush moving like a dragon or snake.
Amidst the splashing ink, line after line of handwriting appeared before the eyes of all the viewers.
This was a poem!
This was a five-character quatrain!
——Have you heard of Wang Wei's *Acacia*?
Yes, the poem that appeared in the stage effects was indeed Wang Wei's *Acacia*!
For the viewers of Blue Star, this was an unfamiliar ancient poem.
Quite a few people were a bit excited, because it had been a long time since they had seen Luo Mo write poetry, and this guy always refused to write the whole thing, which was truly infuriating!
Many people watching the gala couldn't help but read the calligraphy out loud:
"【Red beans grow in the southern land,
How many branches sprout in the spring?
I wish for you to gather many,
This thing is the most *Acacia*.】"
