Chapter 661: 《All the Way North》 Collaborating with a Deity

Luo Mo still remembers when he watched the movie *Touwenzi D*, he was still wet behind the ears, an ignorant and naive child.

He really thought the female lead Xia Shu's uncle was her actual uncle.

He even envied how generous this uncle was with money, feeling that even a real father wouldn't give so much, let alone just an uncle.

In that era, the creature known as a "sugar daddy" had actually already started to become popular.

When Luo Mo was little, he was even puzzled as to why Xia Shu would tell Tuohai, "Tuohai, I'm going to my grandmother's house in the countryside for a few days," but ended up going out to play with her uncle!

A bad girl, using any means necessary just to go out and play, and she even learned to lie!

After growing up and watching this movie again, he gradually understood those dirty jokes from netizens.

"The 86 blows its engine, Xia Shu blows her load."

"Xia Shu, hold on tight, Uncle is going to accelerate."

"Tuohai tasted Xia Shu's sweetness, Uncle tasted Xia Shu's saltiness."

As for the song "All the Way North," it was the second time Zhou Jielun had created a song for a movie.

The first song created for a movie was "Broken Strings," and the name of that movie was... *Finding Jay*.

In Shencheng, the Ordinary Heavenly King Zhao Xueqin made a decision after learning that Luo Mo was also releasing a new song on the same day.

"How about I go on vacation for a few days!"

"Hmm, I'll pick a place with no cell signal and no one around."

During the variety show *King of Love Songs*, Zhao Xueqin still relied on his status as a Heavenly King, but now, Luo Mo was his nightmare; he couldn't dodge him fast enough, and he never even thought about winning against him once.

What's more, the song "Journey" was merely a song tailored for the movie *Car King 3*; its content was fitted to the movie, and its overall quality, among his songs, could at best be considered upper-middle.

If I go all out and still end up with nothing, wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose with this passing-grade work?

Zhao Xueqin's only hope now is: "I hope the melody of this song isn't too outstanding!"

Please, don't let it be that kind of song with incredibly stunning composition and Arranger work again!

He had finally managed to make the title of 【Music Critic Master】 less annoying by self-deprecating.

He didn't want to be archeologically excavated by netizens again, having his dark history from *King of Love Songs* dug up and then ending up on the Hot Search.

………

………

Monday arrived quickly.

For Luo Mo's fans, today was another day that made them feel happy.

"Starting from today, one new song a day!"

"Hard work for Director Luo, releasing new songs overnight just to add a bit more heat to the movie."

"If it weren't for the fact that the few songs released earlier are truly impossible to get tired of, I definitely would have started cursing at his low efficiency in releasing songs!"

"'All the Way North,' just looking at the title, it's a song related to roads and cars."

"'The You of the Past' has already gotten me speeding tickets and points deducted; I hope this song doesn't get my driver's license revoked."

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the silly netizens, at exactly twelve o'clock noon, Luo Mo's new song "All the Way North" was officially released.

Beijing, a high-end residential complex.

Xu Chujing, who had just attended a script reading session yesterday, was at the home of the female Psychologist Ye Mei, enjoying a head massage that far exceeded the skill level of a professional technician.

Ye Mei looked at her, and while pressing on the area around her temples, asked in confusion: "Why are you so awake? In the past, if I massaged you for five or six minutes, you would have fallen asleep."

"Because your massage is average, not as good as Luo Mo's," Xu Chujing said directly.

"Heh, it's definitely not the kind of proper massage I can do; I concede defeat if I can't compare to him," Ye Mei, wearing Gold-rimmed Glasses, sneered.

I treat you like a person when I massage you, he treats you like a Cat to be petted; can they be the same?

Xu Chujing wasn't annoyed, only saying: "You, a leftover woman of advanced age, really have dirty jokes ready at the tip of your tongue."

"Tsk, who was it that used to talk to me about how women should focus on their careers and men are dispensable?" Ye Mei was greatly displeased.

Before, the two could huddle together for warmth, facing this world full of malice toward single women of their age together.

"Now it's fine, you don't huddle with me for warmth anymore, you've thrown yourself into a man's embrace; I haven't even scolded you for betraying me yet!" Ye Mei said.

"Hmm? And who is it that writes CP fanfiction in secret, acts as an administrator in the 【Mo Xu CP】 group, and leaves comments online all day long: Mo Xu CP is real!" Xu Chujing retorted with a cold laugh.

You say I betrayed the revolution?

Isn't it clear that you were also fanning the flames behind the scenes?

"Hmm? People always have two sides in the network and reality, anyway, I can't win an argument against you. Just go ahead and date properly, anyway don't come here to show off to me. If you show off, I will..."

"You will what?" Xu Chujing asked.

"I will join your little family!" Ye Mei raised her hand, her slender fingers sweeping across her own sexy collarbone, acting as if she were being flirtatious.

"You're welcome to." Xu Chujing put on a look that completely disregarded her.

The two bickered for a while longer, and Xu Chujing asked: "What time is it?"

"Twelve-oh-six, what, are you hungry?" Ye Mei asked.

"No, it's that Luo Mo's new song has been released," Xu Chujing said.

"Is that so? Then I have to listen to it," Ye Mei said as she picked up her phone and opened Penguin Music.

In the room, pure music had been playing, and she immediately switched it to Luo Mo's new song—"All the Way North."

"You can turn the volume up a little," Xu Chujing said.

"You have quite a lot of Requirements!" Ye Mei rolled her eyes at her, but did as she was told.

Not to mention, this song really does have a better effect if the volume is turned up a bit.

In the prelude, one could hear a roar of a car right from the start.

This sound seemed to come from far to near, and then, from near to far.

It was just like a speeding car, whizzing right past you!

After the sound of the car, the sound of the Yueqi finally cut in.

I have to say, this song is another "Pre-chorus Kill"!

The atmosphere is built exceptionally well, as if one is already sitting in a speeding car.

The accelerator has already been floored!

"The pre-chorus of this song is something else!" Ye Mei couldn't help but say.

Xu Chujing, who had long since finished listening to this album, smiled slightly, but her smile quickly stiffened.

Because the shameless Psychologist deliberately provoked her, saying: "I feel like I'm already sitting in Luo Mo's passenger seat."

The imposing Diva couldn't resist the urge to be venomous for a moment, saying: "And then get killed by a truck?"

Ye Mei: "........"

Luo Mo's singing voice echoed in the room at this moment.

"【The world in the rearview mirror,

More and more farewells,

You turn away, your profile is still beautiful,

I use my gaze to chase, yet I hear your tears.】"

The tone of this song is sad.

For men, the lethality is even greater.

When emotionally frustrated, if one is driving while blasting "All the Way North" in the car, that feeling is truly indescribable.

Throughout the whole song, the electric guitar is one of the highlights.

This makes Zhou Jielun say that whenever someone requests "All the Way North" at a concert, one must definitely bring out the electric guitar first.

Psychologist Ye Mei asked while continuing to give Xu Chujing a head massage: "What style is this song?"

"British Lyric Rock," Xu Chujing said.

Ye Mei nodded, didn't say anything more, and continued to listen to the song quietly.

At this moment, Luo Mo's singing had reached the final few choruses.

"【I head all the way north, leaving the season that had you,

Around the steering wheel, my regrets swirl,

I accelerate to overtake,

Yet I cannot shake off the sorrow that follows closely behind....】"

When the song ended, Xu Chujing asked: "How is it?"

"It sounds good," Ye Mei said while pushing up her Gold-rimmed Glasses.

"That's it?"

"Isn't 'it sounds good' enough?"

Hearing this, Xu Chujing smiled and said: "Fair point."

For a song, being good to listen to is one of the greatest compliments.

These days, when some popular Singers release songs, a topic called 【Sounds Bad】 often climbs the Weibo Hot Search.

Luo Mo, on the other hand, doesn't have this trouble for the time being.

Nowadays, if you open Weibo, you can see the number one Hot Search is: 【All the Way North】.

The second Hot Search is: 【Sounds Good】.

The third Hot Search is: 【All the Way North, Pre-chorus Kill】.

It is conceivable that Zhao Xueqin's dark history is about to be dug up again.

I have to say, life is always like this; the more you fear something, the more it happens.

And the netizens' evaluations of this song are varied.

This has to do with everyone's current situation and state of mind.

"I feel like listening to this song while driving makes me feel especially cool!"

"Huh? Why do I feel it's especially sad?"

"It's clearly very sorrowful; no matter how fast you drive, you can't catch up to the person who is leaving."

"Am I the only one who thinks this song is quite hype?"

"I feel the most bitter part is the line: 【I head all the way north, leaving the season that had you】."

Once such a high-quality song is released, the popularity is naturally astonishing.

It directly dominated the number one spot on the New Song Chart of major music platforms.

The whole internet is buzzing about this song.

This caused the promotional team of Car King 3 to fall into silence.

They released Posters, released trailers, and even released promotional songs...

This movie related to cars had a ton of early promotional work done.

But the combined popularity couldn't compare to someone else's song related to cars!

The limelight was completely stolen!

This caused the effectiveness of the spent promotional budget to plummet.

"So it turns out we promoted for nothing!"

Director Tian Ou felt bitter inside.

Zhao Xueqin, meanwhile, hated Tian Ou in his heart.

On the contrary, Chen Luo's entire team was holding back a big move.

The reason is simple: at the beginning, his album and Luo Mo's album were competing in a head-to-head battle.

Although everyone seemed to have a good relationship and were very friendly during the New Year, once the albums were released, the topic of the head-to-head battle would definitely be brought up.

Many netizens were puzzled.

"What's up? Is Chen Luo not releasing his new album anymore?"

"Does this mean he's trying to stagger it with Luo Mo?"

"I just purely want to listen to new songs early; I like both albums!"

"Why hasn't the team posted any news? At least say something!"

Besides these comments, there was another voice that had existed since the New Year.

"Will 【Luo-Luo Generous】 collaborate on a song?"

Yes, seeing that their relationship had eased and was not as tense as before, some people had wild ideas and wanted to see the two collaborate!

I have to say, netizens really think of everything.

However, the vast majority of people did not look favorably upon this.

"How is that possible? Are you dreaming?"

"Maybe in the future, but it shouldn't be this efficient."

"Both of these people have such high status in the music scene and are so high-and-mighty, it's probably not realistic."

"Both sides haven't even finished releasing their new albums; wouldn't new songs be months away?"

Chen Luo and his team just watched these comments quietly and with smiles.

Just yesterday, they had already contacted the team at Luo Mo Studio and reached an agreement.

As for the thoughts on Chen Luo's side, after understanding them, Luo Mo also expressed his agreement.

And so, on Monday night, Chen Luo posted a Weibo.

Once this Weibo was posted, it instantly sent netizens into a state of gossip-mongering.

Intuition told them that this would be a super big piece of gossip!

The content of the Weibo Chen Luo posted was actually very simple, merely informing everyone that he would be releasing a new song on Wednesday.

Under normal circumstances, a big shot of his level would definitely release a song on Monday to challenge the new song weekly charts.

Releasing a song on Wednesday clearly meant he had no intention of challenging the charts.

As for who he was avoiding, one could figure that out with their knees; he was avoiding Luo Mo.

Originally, this would have made everyone feel that Chen Luo had been beaten into submission.

However, it was precisely because everything about it seemed strange!

—He was actually not releasing a song from his own new album!

The new album hadn't even been fully released yet, only half of it, and he was actually stopping for now!

He wrote on Weibo: "Originally, I was supposed to continue releasing the new album as planned, but some time ago, I requested a song from a songwriter. After receiving the lyrics and music he wrote, I really couldn't help but release it; I couldn't bring myself to push them back."

"Therefore, I temporarily changed the release plan to prioritize its release!"

"Everyone can look forward to it, um, you can look forward to it to the greatest extent!"

This left the silly netizens dumbfounded.

Two words popped into everyone's mind: "Who is it!?"

Who exactly is this songwriter Chen Luo mentioned?

What kind of songwriter could make him temporarily change his plans?

He wouldn't even release the new album he had meticulously prepared for so long, and the reason was actually that he couldn't help it, because he was so impatient to release this songwriter's work!

You have to know, this is Chen Luo, the Chen Luo who stood at the top of the music scene for many years!

He has collaborated with songwriters of all levels of prestige.

This makes no sense; this doesn't add up.

In an instant, netizens turned into master detectives and prophecy emperors.

Various speculations appeared on the internet.

Many marketing accounts also started to jump on the bandwagon.

Especially those gossip accounts, frantically spreading all kinds of fabricated news.

The well-known music critic 【Music God】 felt that these marketing accounts were just guessing blindly.

"Nonsense, do you yourselves think there is any persuasiveness in saying things like this?"

"Didn't Chen Luo say we could look forward to it, and that we should look forward to it to the greatest extent?"

"Then I will open my perspective to the maximum!"

"Look at what you all are guessing; these people simply cannot live up to the words 【look forward to it to the greatest extent】."

"They are also very talented, but they can't handle such praise from Chen Luo, right?"

Music God directly posted a Weibo:

"Is it possible that the songwriter Chen Luo mentioned is Luo Mo?"
