Chapter 666: 《You Man Wo Man》
Over at 【Doule】, the number of people in the live broadcast room is already approaching the record high.
Given Chen Luo's status and his popularity in the industry, his first live broadcast would naturally attract many celebrities to show their support, and many wealthy big bosses would also come to join the fun, not to mention the internet influencers.
Not to mention that there is now an interactive video link with Luo Mo.
If the gift channel hadn't been disabled, people would definitely be fighting tooth and nail for the top spot, frantically sending gifts.
Luo Mo, however, feels there is no need for that.
From the movie "Nezha" alone, the Split Box Office he can receive is over a billion, making him incredibly wealthy.
He wouldn't even know how to thank the netizens for the gifts they sent.
Could it really be like that internet meme: "Thanks to the bros for the peanuts and small change."
Currently, the audience in the live broadcast room does not yet know that Luo Mo will also be Singing in the room to promote his own Cantonese song.
They think this person is just here to... perform crosstalk!
I have to say, although Luo Mo doesn't have a 【Doule】 account and doesn't have much experience with Live Broadcasts, he can really chat...
This allows Chen Luo, who didn't know what to say in the live broadcast room, to heave a long sigh of relief.
He even feels warm inside, thinking that Luo Mo is helping him out of a tight spot and easing the awkward atmosphere.
"Help, he is so Gentle."
"I am really... dying of tears."
Luo Mo just sat there doing a solo crosstalk act, and Chen Luo could barely get a word in.
Later on, Luo Mo even took out his phone to share his playlist from Penguin Music with everyone; his download list contained quite a few of Chen Luo's songs, a full 17 of them.
Chen Luo, not to be outdone, also started to follow suit.
The two of them thus entered a rhythm of mutual commercial praise.
Seeing that the time was about right, Luo Mo cleared his throat and said, "Luozai, shall I... begin?"
Although the netizens didn't know what Luo Mo was going to do, they still left comments one after another.
"He called him Brother Luo when he first came in."
"Exactly, after chatting for five minutes, he's already Luozai."
"Yo, they got familiar pretty fast."
"Perhaps this is the legendary social Ox syndrome."
As soon as Chen Luo heard that Luo Mo was going to start Singing, he immediately perked up and nodded.
Luo Mo smiled and said, "In the new album 'On the Road', there is a new Cantonese song. Since it's a rare occasion to do a live broadcast today, I'll sing it for everyone in the room."
"I'm slipping away after I finish singing!"
Once these words were out, the live broadcast room could be said to be completely boiling over!
The audience posted so frantically that the video link between Chen Luo and Luo Mo lagged for four or five seconds, and the two of them froze directly.
This made the technicians at 【Doule】 feel a tightness in their hearts.
Every second of this live interactive broadcast is extremely precious!
However, the popularity is too high, and the audience is too enthusiastic.
It's a good thing the gift function was disabled, otherwise it would definitely have been even more intense!
For the technicians, there is no doubt that what they are facing today is an unprecedentedly huge challenge!
"Huh, did it lag just now?" Luo Mo leaned in to look and said.
Discovering that everyone said it had lagged, Luo Mo immediately said with a smile, "Great, the song I'm about to sing is actually very difficult to perform. If I sing anything wrong, please believe that the problem is not with me; it's all 【Doule】's problem."
The audience immediately sent barrage comments: "【Doule】: Are you being polite?"
"【Doule】: I thank you!"
After Luo Mo finished speaking, he sat in his chair and took a simple deep breath, then realized he had been chatting too much and his mouth was dry.
"Want some water?" A female voice appeared, and then a fair arm entered the live broadcast frame, handing over a red water cup.
Luo Mo took the cup handed over by Xu Chujing and took a sip of warm water to moisten his throat.
In the barrage, everyone started shipping them like crazy again.
"Sister really knows how to care for people!"
"Ship it, ship it all for me!"
"【Doule】 emergency PR: It's the water's fault!"
"【Mo Xu CP】 is working overtime today, right?"
Chen Luo just watched with a smile on the other end.
On one hand, he felt like he was very much in the way.
On the other hand, he also felt it was very interesting.
After Luo Mo cleared his throat, his expression became serious and earnest.
"My first new Cantonese song, 'You Man Wo Man', dedicated to everyone."
The piano intro sounded, soothing yet carrying a hint of sorrow.
After the intro ended, Luo Mo sat in the chair in his study, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he created an excellent atmosphere.
Like "Bicycle", this "You Man Wo Man" also requires singing with emotion.
"【Dating is like sharing the satisfaction of a full stomach,"
"Yet we don't mention any problems,"
"If this is romance, why do I feel like we are about to separate,"
"You have cried, but your eyeshadow shines even more brilliantly.】"
In the live broadcast room, although there were no subtitles to display the lyrics, there were audience members who understood Cantonese who would leave real-time comments to translate for everyone.
Chen Luo sat there listening, feeling Luo Mo's Singing.
This was also his first time hearing this song, and he felt Luo Mo's Cantonese pronunciation was still very standard.
Moreover, the Lyricist of this song was actually quite interesting.
Just like the opening line, "Having any problems but never bringing them up."
In relationships, many girls often complain that their boyfriends don't know how to coax them and love to lecture them with grand principles.
Sometimes, I just want to be coaxed, but he only thinks about solving the problem.
But in reality, when problems arise in a relationship or in life, is it really a good thing to just gloss over them with coaxing instead of truly solving them?
The person who truly wants a future with you might be the one willing to compromise with you, the one willing to solve problems together.
It's just a pity that in many relationships, not many people are good at solving problems together; they are better at... solving each other.
Luo Mo continued Singing, his low notes very charming.
"【Whose lover am I, you are still you after all,"
"Smiling and staring at each other in silence, the smile is more pathetic than crying,"
"Even if I'm happy, I'm frowning,"
"Even though I hold you tightly,"
"My arms are still separated from you.】"
As a person from Yue Province, Chen Luo could already tell what the song was singing about upon hearing this.
It was singing about how the other party had already changed their heart, yet was still pretending.
And you, you were also pretending not to know.
This is—"You Man Wo Man"!
Together in appearance but apart in spirit, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, becoming as strangers.
Up until this point, the song had been leaning toward low notes.
Chen Luo knew very well that low notes were also a sharp weapon for interpreting emotions.
Many Singers could sing moving emotions within low notes.
But this song shouldn't just be that.
So he had been looking forward to the chorus part of the song.
Sure enough, the moment Luo Mo started singing the chorus, Chen Luo's eyes lit up!
Falsetto! The entire chorus was almost all falsetto!
He sat there on the chair in the study, using relatively simple Live Broadcast equipment, singing with ease:
"【Silent kisses, kisses, kisses, invading my heart,"
"Still preferring to say you are very tired,"
"If besides me, in your heart, there is one more person,"
"You hide it from me, I also hide it from myself, it's a perfect match—】"
The song's accompaniment was basically centered on the piano.
It was very simple, with no excessive Yueqi added to the Arranger.
This made Luo Mo's singing voice become increasingly prominent, extremely highlighted.
In the bullet comments, many people expressed amazement.
"Holy crap!"
"A blessing for headphone users!"
"I turned the volume up too high, so I got goosebumps."
"I feel a surge of energy rushing to the top of my head."
Chen Luo listened to the A-section of the song; based on his experience and understanding of conventional song structures, he believed the A-section was merely a setup.
In the B-section, all aspects would become more intense!
Sure enough, after an interlude of piano music, the accompaniment changed, and more Yueqi sounds cut in.
Although Luo Mo returned to singing with his natural voice, he sang more unrestrainedly, and the emotions were fuller, no longer holding back.
"【This is what they call falling in love, so polite it scares me,"
"Besides being busy lately, how much do I actually know,"
"If I want to cry, why not complain,"
"It's better to argue and bicker,"
"Than to hold me without being able to laugh.】"
Everyone says that relationships need to be managed.
But some managers are perhaps too skilled.
She pretends on the surface that nothing is wrong, going on dates, holding hands, and kissing you as usual.
But in her heart, she has long been calculating on which day, at which moment, and under what circumstances... to leave you!
And in this process, are you truly completely unaware?
Or is it that you are willing to believe?
Or perhaps you are just lying to yourself?
You fool, you don't really think that the way someone loves you can't be acted out, do you?
When the night is quiet, she might even review her performance of the day, adding in her heart: "This person isn't Hard to Deceive after all."
If you can't learn to cut your losses in time, then you can only bear the profit and loss yourself.
The chorus of the B-section had finally arrived.
Inside the Live Broadcast room, many viewers were once again shocked by Luo Mo's Singing ability.
It was still entirely falsetto, but he was no longer holding back at all while Singing.
Accompanied by the gradually intensifying Yueqi, it was as if his emotions were being vented!
Especially in the last few lines of this chorus, the drum beats suddenly cut in.
Along with the drum sounds, the pitch of the falsetto soared upward.
"【You hide it from me, and I also hide it from myself, we are such a perfect match—!】"
The climax of the chorus was repeated one last time at the end.
The viewers simply could not believe that with this level of high notes and falsetto, Luo Mo was just sitting in his study, using simple equipment, and Singing such an astonishing effect!
Even on Chen Luo's face, it was written full of affirmation.
The difficulty of Singing this song is absolutely extremely, extremely high!
It is not just about having sufficient pitch accuracy, a high enough vocal range, and natural transitions between true voice and falsetto.
Its key lies in—breath control!
A Singer whose breath control is not up to par will absolutely crash and burn when Singing this chorus.
If this part is sung well, it allows the audience to hear the sense of suffocation within the emotions.
If it is not sung well, then it becomes a sense of physical suffocation for the Singer.
And Luo Mo, in this Live Broadcast, could be said to have almost no flaws.
Chen Luo is getting on in years, and his voice is no longer in its prime, so as he watched Luo Mo, he even felt a bit of envy.
During the final falsetto of the chorus, netizens left comments one after another.
"Here it comes again! It makes my scalp fly off in a frenzy!"
"Damn, it's so good it's like lip-syncing!"
"Heh, falling in love, isn't it just for the sake of feeling miserable."
