Chapter 635: So You're the One Called Xia Luo, Huh?

"Flower Sea," a song just like "Rice Field," also comes from the album "Capricorn."

The birth of this song is actually quite interesting.

Zhou Jielun opened up a song at his own JVR Music Co., Ltd., allowing colleagues in the company with an interest in songwriting to submit their work for comparison.

In the end, the lyrics by Gu Xiaoli and Huang Lingjia won out, and Zhou Jielun fused the essence of both sets of lyrics together, combining them into one song.

This song is "Flower Sea."

It is worth mentioning that besides being a member of JVR Music Co., Ltd., Gu Xiaoli has another identity.

That is, she is the wife of the famous Lyricist Fang Wenshan.

The Singer Lee Juck has a very pleasant and popular love song called "Summer." It was written by her, with music by Zhou Jielun.

At this moment, on Blue Star.

Countless listeners, while listening to this "Flower Sea," all felt that the Singing style of this song was too unique.

Luo Mo has sung so many songs by now and has also written so many songs for others, but not a single one of them has adopted this style.

This gave many listeners a very fresh feeling, and they found it stunning.

Of course, there were also people who, upon first hearing it, felt it was strange and had a feeling of being unaccustomed to it.

But for some reason, amidst the unfamiliarity, everyone also felt a bit of familiarity.

They just felt that they seemed to have heard something similar to this style of music recently.

While ordinary fans were still confused, the musicians in the industry, however, heard it after only a few lines.

"Island Singing Style! This is just like that "Rice Field" by Chen Luo earlier; both have incorporated the Island Singing Style!"

Island Singing Style, also known as Island Folk Song, is a very distinctive style of music.

Both songs by Chen Luo and Luo Mo adopt the same mode within Island Folk Song, characterized by abundant emotion and rich melodic turns.

In fact, the reason why a song like "Rolling Pearl Curtain" gives people the feeling that the Singing method is very special is precisely because it also incorporates this Singing method.

For musicians in the music circle, they do know a thing or two about this Singing method, which is slightly Niche domestically.

It's just that they didn't expect that in both albums, there would actually be a song that uses this Singing method!

Looking again at Chen Luo's new song "Fly," from its core, it is just like "Rice Field," a song that is beneficial to society and can bring positive influence.

This is equivalent to them going head-to-head!

Originally, everyone thought the most exciting round of the album competition had already ended.

"Rice Field" and "Rice Field," the names are so similar, it is very worth watching!

But who would have thought that the second round would be completely on par with the first!

"So this is what a battle between gods is like!" the musicians said in their hearts.

………

………

Inside a certain apartment, the music god, whose main job is a blogger for beautiful legs and whose side job is a music critic, is listening to "Flower Sea."

She has already finished listening to "Fly"; the quality is very high, the core is also very good, the lyrics are written wonderfully, and one can see the ambition of this song, as well as the sense of social responsibility of Chen Luo, who is a top Heavenly King in the music scene.

But honestly, she doesn't think this song sounds better than "Rice Field."

"The song 'Rice Field' is too 'luxurious'; no matter how I listen to the transition in the middle, I never get tired of it," the music god said in her heart.

At this moment, she puts on her headphones to listen to "Flower Sea."

Luo Mo's singing voice comes through:

"Everything that bloomed has stilled,

Distant, yet love has become clear,

The sky is gloomy, yet love is very fond,

Back then I didn't understand that this was called love."

After listening to just a short segment, the music god's eyes lit up, her long legs couldn't help but kick against the floor, and her expression was excited.

"It's exciting, it's really exciting!"

"It actually also uses the Island Singing Style!"

"They couldn't have planned this, right? This is too much of a coincidence!"

This style of music is used by very few musicians in the country.

But who doesn't love to watch such a collision in the same field?

However, although both used the Island Singing Style, Luo Mo's Singing method seems to be different from Chen Luo's.

"Chen Luo sings more clearly."

"Luo Mo, however, has a somewhat hazy feeling."

"It's not entirely because of unclear enunciation; the enunciation in this song is actually okay. It should be an intentional creation of a hazy feeling, like being half-dreaming and half-awake," the music god guessed.

She continues listening.

"You like to stand by that windowsill,

You haven't come again for a long time,

The colorful time is stained with blankness,

It is the tears you shed blurring it out."

"Whoa! I love these turns and falsettos!" the music god couldn't help but exclaim.

The difficulty of singing this song is obviously very high!

In this segment, the four characters "stained with blankness," an average person definitely couldn't sing them at all.

For headphone users, when first listening to this song, the turns and falsettos here are still very satisfying to hear!

And the chorus climax of the song is finally about to arrive.

In fact, the personal style is most evident in the chorus of this song, and it is also what makes it sound so unique!

Luo Mo's singing voice echoes in Leshen's ears; the pitch of this song is not low, it can be considered a high-pitched song.

"【I don't want you to leave, distance cannot separate us,

Longing turns into a sea~~~~~, unable to enter from outside the window.】"

When singing the word "sea", Leshen shivered.

"Wow, this trembling sensation is amazing!"

"It shakes so intensely!"

She felt she was hooked on this kind of vibration.

At the same time, she felt this high note had a sensation of almost cracking, yet not quite cracking.

About to break through?

Heh, I refuse!

Anyway, she felt it was very satisfying!

This mode gave her a sense of electric current; she always felt that in this part, the vocals carried their own Electronic Music.

As a professional music critic, she couldn't immediately tell if this was sung directly from the throat or if it had been processed.

After the line "【Love songs are defeated, love no longer exists】" was finished, the A-section of the song ended.

And the interlude of the song still felt incredibly pleasant to listen to.

Other people's transitions always give a sense of stiffness, but Luo Mo's songs do not.

The composition and Arranger are both too brilliant.

When the vocals of the B-section of the song began, although the content was the same, the singing style had actually changed again!

"It feels like the B-section is sung more clearly than the A-section!"

"That hazy feeling of being half-dreaming and half-awake has disappeared, appearing increasingly clear."

The same turns and falsetto, because the singing style changed, gave a completely different feeling.

The line "【Colorful time is stained with blankness】" appears in both the A and B sections; Leshen singled it out to listen, and could immediately feel the obvious difference in the singing style before and after.

"Is this emotional progression?" Leshen thought to herself.

She felt that doing this made the whole song more listenable and also more enduring.

Undoubtedly, the B-section sounded more unrestrained and satisfying than the A-section.

Compared to "Flower Sea", Chen Luo's "Rice Field" seemed a bit "half-dead" in its singing style.

"So, the 'Island Singing Style' with a folk feel, infused with a bit of British rock style, plus high notes, and even a sense of cracking, can have such a unique effect?" This was the first time Leshen had heard this kind of fusion pop Romance song.

"And looking at the song's content, it has a bit of a long-distance relationship feel," Leshen thought to herself.

At first, she hadn't realized what this song had to do with the album title "On the Road".

But since it is a long-distance relationship, then naturally, there is an infinite connection.

Being in different places, wanting to meet requires crossing mountains and seas.

Precisely because of this, many people use round-trip tickets, train tickets, and plane tickets... as proof of long-distance Romance.

That is one rush after another for love.

"It's just that, looking at the song's content, undoubtedly this road, I am still willing to walk, I am still willing to be 'On the Road', but... you are no longer willing."

Leshen didn't know what she had remembered, but she suddenly hummed and said, "Long-distance relationships, even dogs won't date!"

After saying this indignantly, she continued to listen to the song.

She could put this "Flower Sea" on Loop for an entire afternoon without feeling tired of it.

………

………

The battle of new songs between Luo Mo and Chen Luo is the same as usual; the First Day cannot determine the outcome.

One must wait until the various data stabilize later to see the gap on the new song weekly chart.

In fact, as the timeline of the album competition stretches, the final victory or defeat will still be determined on the Hot Song Chart.

Nowadays, Luo Mo's "Rice Fragrance" ranks first on the Hot Song Chart, with Chen Luo's "Rice Field" following closely behind.

But as more and more songs from the two albums are released, the scene might be different.

In short, the onlookers have been very happy recently.

As more and more people provide popular science, the onlookers gradually realized that "Flower Sea" and "Rice Field" actually adopted the same singing style!

Tsk tsk tsk, when gods fight, this is how they should fight!

In the future, I hope talented Singers will all use this as a standard and engage in head-on confrontations!

This way of competing is purely about strength.

And netizens in the country do not yet know that Luo Mo's "Flower Sea" is actually quite popular over in the island nation.

The reason is simple: Chen Luo's "Rice Field" collaborated with a top composer from the island nation.

The "Island Singing Style" is a Niche singing style in Huaxia, but it is completely different in the island nation; to be precise, this was their domain to begin with.

Oh, this trembling timbre, this feeling of winding turns, it's just too "enka-like".

Precisely because both songs used the "Island Singing Style", and one of them even had the participation of a well-known island nation composer, the Japanese media reported on it one after another.

And honestly, whether it's Chen Luo or Luo Mo, their popularity in the island nation is not low, and both have a large number of fans.

Many people say music has no borders, because even if you don't understand the language, you will still find a good song pleasant to listen to.

Sometimes, foreign language songs actually have an advantage, which is that they don't cause "native language embarrassment".

Like many Korean and English songs, you listen to them and feel great. But if translated into Chinese, those lyrics are something even the non-mainstream era in the country wouldn't dare to write.

Last week, when "Rice Field" was released, it was number one for two days on the new song weekly chart in the island nation.

Luo Mo's "Flower Sea" air-dropped to third place on its First Day, and all its metrics are still soaring.

This song has provided new ideas for many representative Singers of the "Island Singing Style" over in the island nation.

They all feel this song is very fresh and also has great innovation!

Judging from the feedback from listeners, a large number of listeners have also expressed that this song is very special and very pleasant to listen to!

It is simply unbelievable that a Huaxia person could reach such a level in the field of "Island Singing Style."

Not only is it utilized very well, but it even incorporates a lot of extremely distinct personal style!

Compared to this, Chen Luo is just blindly imitating.

Because "Island Singing Style" is very rare within Huaxia, it seems quite new domestically.

But Luo Mo is different.

He is carrying out new creation on this foundation!

Under these circumstances, a bizarre scene occurred.

By late Monday night, on the Huaxia New Song Chart, "Fly" and "Flower Sea" were still in fierce competition; the throne of first place was constantly rotating, and neither had sat firmly.

However, on the island nation's weekly new song chart, because no top Singers had released new songs recently, "Flower Sea" marched forward triumphantly all the way, and in the end, it actually... reached the top during the night!

In Tokyo, an island nation male Singer with stubble was listening to "Flower Sea" while looking at the new song chart, and a surge of impulse welled up in his heart.

"Should I buy the cover rights for this song?"

………

………

Because the New Year is approaching and they have to attend the Spring Festival Gala, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing decided not to return to Shanghai for now and will both stay in Beijing.

Luo Mo has already completed more than half of the initial preparations for the upcoming Science Fiction film.

The casting work is also going well.

The next day, morning.

Luo Mo is going with his parents to visit his master, Tong Qinglin, at his home.

On the way, Luo Ba is driving, while Luo Mo is holding his phone, scrolling through Weibo.

These past two days, all major social platforms have been very lively.

The media are also crazily reporting on "Fly" and "Flower Sea."

Since these two songs are each targeting the opponent's previous work, the popularity of "Rice Fragrance" and "Rice Field" has also surged by a significant margin.

To each their own, and netizens are also comparing them with each other.

"I think 'Flower Sea' sounds better than both 'Rice Field' and 'Fly'!"

"If your ears are broken, donate them; can 'Flower Sea' compare to Chen Luo's song?"

"I like 'Rice Fragrance' very much; I think it's the strongest of the four songs. In my heart, 'Flower Sea' and 'Rice Field' are on par."

The fan bases of Luo Mo and Chen Luo are too large, so everyone's opinions are definitely different.

However, even if to each their own, in the end, one can still see whether there are more people who love radishes or those who love greens.

Just at this moment, Luo Mo also received a call from a staff member at his studio.

"Got it." Luo Mo heard a piece of new news.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Ma, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously: "What's wrong? It's almost New Year's, did something happen?"

Luo Ba said while driving: "It's his work stuff, you don't understand it anyway, why ask so much."

"I'm just asking casually, is that not allowed?" Luo Ma glared at him.

Luo Mo sat in the back listening to them bicker and laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that the people at the studio told me the new song reached the top of the new song chart over in the island nation."

"Is that so!" Luo Ma was quite happy hearing this, but immediately followed up: "Is there money?"

"There's definitely money, it's just that the cut will be a bit lower." Luo Mo was amused.

After arriving at Old Master Tong's Siheyuan, Liu Shixiong happened to have just returned; he had just driven his little car out to buy groceries.

"Hiss, Liu Shixiong, how did you get thin again." Luo Mo looked at Liu Gongming, feeling very unaccustomed to it.

Can you really get thin this fast just by finding a girlfriend who is a fitness coach?

——Is it really that exhausting?

Liu Shixiong Liu Gongming held the chicken, duck, fish, and meat he had just bought, listless, and whispered to Luo Mo: "It's too tiring, training day and night,"

"During the day she forces me to train with equipment, at night..." He turned his head to see that Luo Ba and Luo Ma were not listening, so he lowered his voice and said: "At night she forces me!"

Luo Mo gave him an 'I understand, I understand' look.

That fitness coach has practiced squats; with that peach-shaped butt and years of power in one hip, what can you use to resist?

After the group walked into the Siheyuan, Luo Ba and Luo Ma went to the kitchen to get busy, and Liu Shixiong also helped on the side.

Luo Mo accompanied the old master to play a few games of chess first; the two terrible chess players were evenly matched and both felt: "Happy! Happy!"

After finishing lunch, Luo Mo received a call from Wang Rong.

"Hey, Brother Rong, what made you think of calling me?" Luo Mo asked.

"It's almost New Year's, isn't it? You have to go to the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and there must be many people sending you a Blessing, so I'm calling you early to wish you an early Happy New Year," said Wang Rong.

"Alright, then I also wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

The two chatted for a few sentences, and then Wang Rong brought up the real business.

Luo Mo listened to him hem and haw for a long time before he finally understood: "So you want to come find me to write a movie script for you?"

"Eh, you guessed it!" Wang Rong said candidly.

He hadn't filmed a new movie in a long time, so he was thinking of getting something going.

But the scripts he had received recently, he wasn't satisfied with any of them.

Wang Rong thought it over and realized, isn't there a god-like person right by his side?

Better to ask Luo Mo than to ask anyone else!

"What genre do you want?" Luo Mo asked.

"Comedy," Wang Rong answered very firmly.

Recently, he had been acting in *Dying to Survive* and *Sheep Without a Shepherd*, just to prove that he was not just a Comedy Actor.

However, the point is, it was "not just."

He did not intend to transition directly and stop doing comedy in the future; that was his home base, after all.

Moreover, in terms of being a director, he only had the confidence to film comedies well.

"Comedy, huh." Luo Mo's tone was a bit troubled.

Wang Rong knew very well that comedy scripts were easy to write, but comedy scripts of truly high quality were extremely difficult!

But wasn't *Be Somebody*, written by Luo Mo, a very good Suspense Comedy?

The first part of *Dying to Survive* also had a lot of comedic appeal.

Back then, the short film *Ten Years of Hard Work* in the variety show *Director Show* was also filled with laughter and tears.

He knew very well that Luo Mo was equally skilled in this area.

Now, hearing Luo Mo's slightly troubled voice, Wang Rong's heart sank to the bottom.

But he quickly heard Luo Mo continue: "Brother Rong, I actually have a ready-made comedy script right here."

"Really!" Wang Rong was instantly energized and asked: "What is it called?"

"*Charlotte Troubles*," Luo Mo said.

"What is that?" Wang Rong didn't quite understand.

"Is it 'Xia Luo, very troubled,' or... 'Charlotte, troubles'?" Wang Rong was a bit confused about where to break the sentence.

"It's 'Xia Luo, very troubled,'" Luo Mo said, unable to laugh or cry.

As long as there's a script, as long as there's a script, it's fine!

Although the movie's title was very peculiar and felt a bit strange, anything produced by Luo Mo must be a high-quality product.

It was obvious that what made Luo Mo troubled was not the script, but something else.

"Do you think the style of this script of yours isn't very suitable for me to direct?" Wang Rong said: "Hey, you aren't thinking of having me act in it, are you?"

He and Luo Mo had already collaborated twice, and he wouldn't mind a third time.

"Not at all. On the contrary, I think it suits your style quite well. You might even direct it better than I could," Luo Mo said.

"I'm just still hesitating about the choice for the male lead," Luo Mo said.

"That's no problem. In the comedy circle, I have extensive Connections. I can find you any kind of Comedy Actor," Wang Rong promised.

He had worked with so many comedy actors, it was countless!

"It's different, it's different. He is very special." Luo Mo didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"Brother Rong, actually, there is a pretty good candidate right by my side."

Luo Mo glanced at Liu Shixiong, who was in the Corner talking on the phone with his girlfriend, and said: "But I don't know if he'll work out."

(PS: From the moment Liu Shixiong appeared until now, after so much foreshadowing, I'm finally going to write his part. It's the end of the month; although I've been slacking on monthly tickets this month, I'm still asking for them at the end of the month.)
