Chapter 718: I Congratulate You on Getting Rich, I Congratulate You on Being Brilliant

After the host team finished their New Year greetings to the national audience, the festive atmosphere began to spread across the entire country.

In the Live Broadcast, the barrage of comments swept in.

"Happy New Year!"

"Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!"

"Happy Spring Festival!"

Many viewers watching the Live Broadcast were quite puzzled; why did the atmosphere feel so good as soon as they started speaking this year?

It just felt very down-to-earth! More down-to-earth than in previous years.

Even though the opening song and dance at the very beginning were just ordinary.

Fortunately, in the barrage, there were still people providing popular science.

"The background music is amazing!"

"The piece Luo Mo just wrote is Ox!"

"Luo God is truly Luo God!"

These days, there is nothing that silly netizens don't understand.

The forest is big, what kind of bird isn't there?

Some viewers with higher musical attainments could still hear the extraordinary nature of this "Spring Festival Overture".

Especially those who study traditional Chinese music; they were instantly surging with emotion, shouting "Ox!" in their hearts.

For some things, the more of an insider you are, the more you can understand how high the difficulty is.

This "Spring Festival Overture" is definitely a masterpiece that can be passed down forever.

And the reason why many viewers felt it was particularly special this year is because this is our national heritage, and you have a sense of familiarity with it.

Especially for viewers in the north, the feeling would be more intuitive and stronger.

It connects to things that only exist on this land, so naturally, it is down-to-earth.

In the barrage, many viewers saw so many people praising the music, so some also raised their confusion.

How could the silly netizens who love to play the teacher miss this opportunity to show off?

Someone immediately left a comment: "It has elements of Great Yangge and Northern Shaanxi folk songs!"

After someone answered the questions and cleared up the doubts, many people understood.

"No wonder! No wonder!"

On the other side, Pu Song, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala Live Broadcast, spoke in his "Huihuang Orchestra" WeChat group: "Is everyone watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

Some people were watching, while others were doing other things.

Seeing that some people were not watching the Spring Festival Gala, Pu Song immediately said: "This 'Spring Festival Overture' written by Luo Mo is written too well."

He had a feeling of finding a treasure, and really wanted the whole orchestra to perform this piece once.

"Ah? I'm outside the house accompanying the kids setting off pop-pops, is it still in time to listen if I go back now?" asked a violinist from the "Huihuang Orchestra".

"Too late, they are doing the program transition, a new program is coming up soon, but you will definitely be able to find it online later," said the bass trombonist.

The enthusiastic Pu Song immediately replied: "It's fine, I recorded it with my phone!"

Yes, after he reacted, he immediately recorded a segment.

He sent the audio he recorded to the group.

Soon, this world-class orchestra was exclaiming in various ways in the group chat.

Their appreciation for this piece finally reached a consensus.

That is four words—refined and popular tastes alike!

These four words seem simple, but to truly achieve them, the difficulty is really too great.

As mentioned before, after the "Huihuang Orchestra" achieved the highest world-class status, their goal in recent years has been: to make symphonic music that ordinary people can understand.

They actually also wanted to take the route of being appreciated by both refined and popular tastes.

But after trying, they realized how difficult this matter is.

Over so many years, the most successful times were those stages in collaboration with the "Fengge Group" under Luo Mo's direction.

Plus the later "D Da Diao Ka Nong", and today's "Spring Festival Overture"... now, in the eyes of the "Huihuang Orchestra", Luo Mo is already a master-level figure.

After the Spring Festival Gala ends tonight, there will definitely be media looking for various angles to interview people related to Luo Mo.

The response triggered by "Spring Festival Overture" is currently very good, and the "Huihuang Orchestra", which has collaborated with Luo Mo, is naturally one of the groups with the most right to speak due to the uniqueness of their own status.

It is conceivable that they will definitely not skimp on praise at that time.

At this very moment, they even want to send a request to Luo Mo, wanting to hold a global tour for "Spring Festival Overture"!

In fact, on Earth, the United Nations headquarters had once played "Spring Festival Overture".

The "China Philharmonic Orchestra" also had an extremely brilliant performance of this piece.

What Luo Mo personally likes most is the traditional Chinese music version at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

It sounds quite addictive, feeling like you can happily celebrate the New Year anytime, anywhere...

Because the tempo of this version is faster, it is not suitable for the hosts to maintain a steady speaking speed, so Luo Mo did not use this version.

Otherwise, if these most famous CCTV hosts stood on the Spring Festival Gala stage and played with words like showing off skills, with a speaking speed like it was on double speed, it would inevitably appear a bit demonic.

Generally, after the host finishes speaking, a singing stage will follow.

Stages at this time are all meant to warm up the venue and liven up the atmosphere.

Like the 2022 Spring Festival Gala on Earth, they sang a song called "Time Sense".

This stage, the most eye-catching one might be Brother Chao who was a bit too hyped...

For some reason, looking at him, he felt a bit like Big Smart.

Well, it belongs to the level where even fans feel embarrassed watching it.

And on Blue Star, which Singer would be next to take on the arduous task of warming up the stage and setting the standard for this year's singing performances?

——It is Chen Luo!

Nowadays, the Singers at the peak of the music scene are Luo Mo, Chen Luo, and Xu Chujing.

Therefore, the three people's singing performances cannot be placed too close together; they must be separated.

As the Chief Planner, Luo Mo thought for a moment and decided to have Chen Luo lead the charge, himself in the middle, and Xu Chujing at the end to continue by Singing "Unforgettable Tonight."

Under the introduction of the CCTV host, as soon as Chen Luo appeared, the live comments went wild.

"Luozai!"

"My god, Luozai is the first one up this year?"

"Quick, give some respect to the former number one in the music scene!"

Today, Chen Luo is wearing a dark red suit, and he looks quite spirited.

He has a side-parted slicked-back hairstyle, and even the microphone in his hand is red.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is still his left hand.

What he is holding in his left hand is a red envelope.

"Using a red envelope as a stage Prop?"

"Looks like this song has something to do with red envelopes?"

"Has anyone seen the program list? What's the name of the song?"

No one needed to announce it, because the next second, amidst the sound of the prelude, the song title appeared.

——"Wishing You Prosperity."

Below the song title, three lines of text that many people are incredibly familiar with were written.

"【Lyricist: Luo Mo.】"

"【Composer: Luo Mo.】"

"【Arranger: Luo Mo.】"

Isn't the anticipation here now?

" 'Wishing You Prosperity'? The song title is kind of interesting, huh!"

"What a simple and irresistible Blessing."

"No wonder he had to hold a red envelope, hahaha!"

"I suspect there's a God of Wealth hiding among the backup dancers behind him."

As soon as the prelude started, there was a burst of crackling firecracker sounds.

The backup dancers behind him were waving strings of prop firecrackers.

These days, many places don't allow setting off firecrackers, so the place where the firecrackers are loudest on New Year's Eve might just be in hotels.

But for the people of Huaxia, the sound of firecrackers is one of the symbols of the New Year atmosphere.

The crackling firecracker sounds in the prelude really feel quite right.

And the following Yueqi sounds are even more festive.

Not to mention the gongs and drums, there is also the sound of the suona.

I have to say, the suona is a very extreme instrument—it's either for great joy or great sorrow.

It's the New Year, so it must be for great joy.

And let me tell you, before Chen Luo even started Singing, just by listening to this accompaniment, many middle-aged and Old Age people had already started to like this song.

Once Chen Luo started Singing, everyone felt that this song was also incredibly down-to-earth.

"【I wish you prosperity,

I wish you brilliance,

Let the best come over,

Let the bad walk away,

You can't go wrong with more courtesy.】"

This song starts right off with the chorus.

The lyrics are truly as colloquial as can be.

But it's just festive, it just sounds auspicious!

You have to know, this song isn't young anymore; over ten years have passed, and it still ranks first in many people's minds in the category of 【New Year Song】.

In the Live Broadcast comments, everyone is already wishing each other well.

The four characters "Wishing You Prosperity" have already started flooding the screen.

Netizens have all turned into repeaters, constantly repeating these four characters.

As if as long as I type these four characters enough, the God of Wealth will notice me.

But in reality, after listening to the rest, everyone can discover that the Blessings in this song are actually quite comprehensive; it's not just wishing for prosperity.

It's just that the people of Huaxia have an obsession with 【Prosperity】 deep down, so "Wishing You Prosperity" is the one among all the Blessings in the song that is emphasized to the greatest extent.

I saw Chen Luo continue to sing:

"【I wish, all the girls in the world marry a good boy,

May the couple stay together forever.

I wish, all the children in the world are smarter than scholars,

May intelligence fill your head.】"

First, he hits you with a round of Romance!

Then he hits you with a round of children becoming successful and becoming Jackie Chan!

This Blessing, it's powerful enough, right?

You have to admit, such simple lyrics actually make the entire melody and the feel of the song much more joyful.

Yes, the original creative intent of this song was to have distinct national characteristics, and to be joyful enough, festive enough, and lively enough.

Perhaps a small group of people find it too common, finding that Luo Mo didn't write it with enough sophistication.

But it doesn't matter.

Because in another minute or two, all that will be left in your brain is "I wish you wealth—!"

The demographic this song covers is actually quite broad.

When loving couples hear the Blessing of Romance, they might not be able to help but look at each other, breeding sweetness.

After children hear it, they will also be attracted by words like "Scholar".

Hearing "intelligence fills your head," they might even giggle, finding it fun and interesting.

Everyone thought the current lyrics were already down-to-earth enough, but who would have thought there were even more down-to-earth ones!

Just listen as Chen Luo continues to sing in the upbeat rhythm:

"I wish, my respected great-aunt,

A thirty-six lap race,

Without gasping for breath, without changing expression.

I wish, my third uncle's business,

May the business be famous everywhere,

May wealth flow and may you live in a mansion."

Good heavens, both the great-aunt and the third uncle have popped up!

Nowadays, all over the country, many middle-aged and elderly viewers have already taken a liking to this song.

"This song sounds good!"

"It's comfortable to listen to!"

"This is the kind of song that should be played during the New Year!"

As for the dignified top Heavenly King Chen Luo, standing on stage singing this song, how does he feel?

He thinks it's great!

I have to say, for the same thing, it still depends on the occasion.

It's just like how some people, when outside, are exceptionally disdainful of songs like "The Most Dazzling Folk Style" and "Little Apple".

But if they are in a private KTV room, surrounded by their own drinking buddies, they sing louder than anyone else!

During the New Year, you just have to be boisterous.

Chen Luo didn't feel embarrassed at all; he was very uninhibited.

When singing the four words "strutting about," he even swayed a few times on stage.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of Chen Luo!"

"Laughing to death, first time seeing Luozai like this!"

"The last time I saw him this funny was when he cried his way onto the Hot Search."

"Anyway, he's already had a social death, he's completely open now."

"That makes some sense, huh!"

He stood on stage and continued singing: "Wishing you wealth, you have to shout it boldly enough!"

Immediately after, he and the backup dancers on stage shouted together at the audience across the country watching the Live Broadcast: "Wishing you wealth!"

Many people sitting in front of their TVs couldn't help but shout along.

After everyone finished shouting those four words, someone actually dressed as the God of Wealth appeared on stage.

In an instant, the atmosphere became even better.

Many people even felt that invisible wealth had already passed through the TV and smashed onto their heads!

You say this God of Wealth is fake, that it's a person in costume?

I'm not listening, I'm not listening, turtle chanting scriptures!

Tonight, this person dressed as the God of Wealth must give me a set of "man can conquer nature"!

When singing to this point, Chen Luo began to sing the climax of the song for the second time.

The brilliance of this song lies in the fact that he only sang it a second time, and many people had already memorized the lyrics and melody and could already sing along!

"I wish you wealth,

I wish you brilliance,

Let the best come over,

Let the bad walk away,

You can't go wrong with more gifts!"

Since many people can already sing it, hasn't this kind of remote interaction been achieved?

And once the sense of interaction is improved, hasn't everyone's experience of watching the Spring Festival Gala improved along with it?

Whether it's the ratings or the online Live Broadcast data, it can be said that they are all soaring!

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the amount of interaction on the internet.

Some silly netizens immediately thought of the classic line from "I Am Not a Medicine God": There is only one disease in the world—the poverty disease!

"Wishing You Wealth": Poverty disease? Screw you!

There are also silly netizens saying: Starting today, I'm putting the God of Wealth's Blessing on a single-track Loop, I'll work you all to death!

Young people think this song is fun, while the middle-aged and elderly really think this song sounds very good.

Many netizens expressed that even their grandmothers, who are over seventy years old, listened with great interest and liked it very much!

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Chujing and Luo Mo were currently sharing a room.

She listened to the singing coming from outside and couldn't help but glance at Luo Mo.

When Luo Mo first wrote the lyrics and music, she happened to be sitting right beside him, and she watched him write them out.

The moment Luo Mo clicked save, an extremely confident smile appeared on his face.

That expression seemed to be saying...

—Whatever aunties or distant relatives they may be, can't this win you over?
