Chapter 719: God-Tier Dance

At this very moment, the God of Wealth is holding a prop red envelope, frantically scattering them on the scene.

This song, "Gong Xi Fa Cai," is truly something that audiences of all ages can listen to.

Even many children find this song strangely interesting.

According to the normal structure of a song, it should repeat the chorus climax a few more times at the end, and the whole song should be over.

The most brainwashing part of this song, the part that leaves the deepest impression, is actually those few lines: "I wish you wealth—."

However, don't forget, as mentioned earlier, in "Charlotte Troubles," the song "People from Our Village" that Xia Luo wrote for Liu Dehua was not actually sung by Liu Dehua originally.

But after the movie became a massive hit, many people felt that he had indeed sung this song.

And the result?

In "Gong Xi Fa Cai 2016," Liu Dehua simply gave up and went with the flow, adding this segment in.

Hey, everyone says I sang this song, so what can I do?

Just sing it!

Luo Mo did not incorporate too much content from the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai 2016," because he personally did not like this version very much; it added quite a few rap elements and was not as simple, rustic, and down-to-earth as the original version.

However, he also wanted to advertise the upcoming "Hello Mr. Billionaire"....

Being a Chief Planner and working hard is much more tiring than a donkey on a production team.

Am I not even allowed to promote it a little?

Therefore, one could see the melody begin to have a natural transition and connection.

In terms of the transition, "Gong Xi Fa Cai 2016" actually did quite well.

Just listen to Chen Luo singing loudly:

"【My old home, it resides in this village,

I am a person born and raised in this village,

Don't look at the village as not very big,

It has mountains, water, and forests,

The neighbors are quite harmonious, and the young and old are even more close-knit.】"

Chen Luo was singing on stage with great ease and contentment.

Anyway, he had already recorded both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions of this song.

And let's not even mention it, it was actually quite fitting.

Because the song itself is down-to-earth.

It has a feeling of returning to one's hometown for the New Year.

After all, for some people, no matter how successful they are, they still have to return to their hometown for the New Year, right?

The sense of distance was instantly narrowed!

In fact, this is also one of the purposes of the Spring Festival Gala.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is aimed at the common people of the whole country.

As soon as these lyrics were sung, the bullet comments instantly exploded.

Some older viewers just felt that this song suited their taste, because they might not have seen "Charlotte Troubles."

But the young viewers instantly got the vibe!

"Dreaming back to 'Charlotte Troubles'!"

"In the movie, Luozai was clearly very resistant!"

"And now he's singing it on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yujuhanying."

At the same time, there were quite a few people in the bullet comments spamming "Hello Mr. Billionaire."

After all, it is a new movie created by the same team!

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone go to the cinema and watch it!

After singing this segment, Chen Luo returned to the normal rhythm, and accompanied by the sound of folk music, he sang the normal chorus of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" once more, and the whole song was declared finished.

This year's Spring Festival Gala had only just begun, but the music circles across the country could be said to have exploded.

All because of "Spring Festival Overture" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai."

In both of these, there were too many folk music elements.

All of them achieved true appreciation by both the refined and the popular!

There is no need to mention how Ox "Spring Festival Overture" is; the composition and Arranger of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" are actually not common either.

The Chinese people still really like the crackling sound of firecrackers as accompaniment, and they also like listening to suona and other folk music on festive days.

Just how obsessed is everyone with this kind of lively atmosphere?

Obsessed to the point that now that firecrackers are not allowed, people still crazily pop balloons for weddings or grand openings!

Nothing else, they just love the liveliness, just want to hear a bang!

Hey, we just love explosions!

Like the composer Lv Yi, as a well-known Number One Luo Fan in the circle, he was watching the Spring Festival Gala in real-time, and then updating his Weibo in real-time to praise Luo Mo.

"This kind of thing, only you laymen would shout and scream when hearing it; if it were us industry insiders, we would generally just kneel."

He did not know how long "Spring Festival Overture" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" would circulate.

He only knew that even if Luo Mo retired right now, relying on their copyrights, he could make a fortune every time the New Year came around.

On Earth, many people said that listening to "Gong Xi Fa Cai" had a strong sense of immersion, feeling as if they were already shopping in a large supermarket.

"The atmosphere is maxed out, I've already stuck my hands into the rice at the supermarket."

"I'm already drifting my shopping cart."

"The immersion is so strong; I've already gotten separated from my parents, and the loudspeaker is calling my name."

And on Blue Star, what kind of scene was it?

Major supermarkets: Playlist updating, song +1!

What Luo Mo wanted to do was to conquer every street and alley during this Spring Festival!

………

………

Behind the scenes at the Spring Festival Gala, Luo Mo recalled a passage.

"Huaxia has currently fallen into the state predicted by Western media and pessimistic economists:

Factories have ceased production, shops are closed, the stock market cannot trade normally, most people have nothing to do, and a large number of people spend their days drinking and playing cards. Teenagers go around in groups to demand money. In some remote areas, the wreckage of explosives is everywhere. Many wealthy people have chosen to leave their homes, and some have even gone overseas to stay for a period of time...

The entire country seems to have fallen into collapse.

Hey, actually, we're just celebrating the Spring Festival."

Because Chen Luo's status was rather special, and Luo Mo had arranged for him to be in the warm-up segment, Luo Mo went to greet him personally after he came off stage.

Certain twisted CP Fans, seeing this scene, would likely come out with: "【Luo-Luo Generous】 is real!"

After Chen Luo and Luo Mo chatted for a few moments, the conversation shifted, and he said: "Handsome, go and persuade Qunzai."

It was he who acted as the go-between for Hua Jiaqun and Luo Mo to work on "Peerless" together.

Chen Luo felt he bore some responsibility for Hua Jiaqun becoming the way he was now.

Luo Mo had actually heard some rumors, but he didn't take them too seriously, just smiling and saying: "Men, you know, always have some messy little hobbies."

"This isn't just some little hobby!" Chen Luo said anxiously.

Luo Mo said: "It's fine. Once 'Peerless' is released, our President Hua will understand that with his little gang of people, printing counterfeit money isn't as fast as making money following me to shoot movies."

——《Putting on an Act》.

Chen Luo pointed at him and said: "Sigh! You, oh you!"

These words were very "Versailles," yet you had no way to refute them.

"Then I'll be going now," Chen Luo said. "You go do your work, no need to specially accompany me."

"Alright," Luo Mo waved at him.

The next two programs presented on stage had nothing much to do with Luo Mo.

But there is a saying that a good start is half the battle.

Luo Mo had already set the atmosphere well at the very beginning of the Spring Festival Gala; as for the next two programs, as long as they didn't let the energy die down, it would be fine.

"Run Jie's ability to gatekeep the programs is still trustworthy," Luo Mo thought to himself anyway.

In reality, although the next two programs couldn't be called particularly Ox, they indeed didn't flop.

And for the singing segment that followed, when Luo Mo made the arrangements, he went straight for something that would blow up the stage.

Among the many signed Singers at Luo Mo Studio, the most explosive one is undoubtedly—【Fengge Group】!

At first, he was also thinking about whether to release a new song for 【Fengge Group】, or let them sing an old song suitable for the Spring Festival Gala?

He pondered carefully and later discovered that he had already written all the songs most suitable for the Spring Festival Gala for 【Fengge Group】.

A large portion of the remaining songs were not very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Then, a new problem arose.

"If we sing an old song, which one should we sing?" Luo Mo wondered.

You have to know, Phoenix Legend on Earth is like a permanent fixture at the Spring Festival Gala.

The number of times they have been on the Spring Festival Gala is simply too many.

But as the Chief Planner of the Spring Festival Gala, what Luo Mo had to consider was not just one stage.

His vision had to be long-term, his perspective had to be grand, and he had to look at the entire Spring Festival Gala.

Our Brother Mo actually has some skills when it comes to stage design and the transitions between programs.

With this line of thinking, he quickly decided on a song—"Mountain and River Map"!

First of all, this song was very explosive back then, the stage effect was very good, and the netizens' feedback was also very positive.

Like on Earth, it was in this song that Ceng Yi established his name as 【AKA Dishi Rap Huangdi】.

Secondly, this kind of song that praises the beautiful landscape of the motherland has a very high compatibility with the Spring Festival Gala.

Finally, Luo Mo felt that this song could have a perfect transition with the new program he was focusing on arranging next, achieving the best stage effect!

When 【Fengge Group】 stepped onto the stage and the song title "Mountain and River Map" appeared, many viewers watching the Live Broadcast got hyped up.

Xue Ning stood on the stage, and during the initial prelude, she sang out directly, her pitch extremely high: "Wo—yi—ya—"

Her breath control was as ample as ever, her voice thick, lingering, and long.

The old rule: this year's programs, all give me some Huaxia elements.

The first few notes of "Mountain and River Map," as introduced before, are 【Mongolian Long Tune】.

An average person simply cannot sing this stuff; they simply cannot sing out that feeling.

Once the song started, the silly netizens started playing with memes again.

The main memes were still concentrated on Tian Ming of 【Fengge Group】; after all, in other songs, he didn't have many lyrics, unlike the dense Output in "Mountain and River Map."

"Tian Ming: These lyrics are just too many!"

"Tian Ming: The Spring Festival Gala is tiring, huh!"

"I can testify, there are no stage slackers at this year's Spring Festival Gala!"

And in the process of them singing loudly, stage special effects kept appearing.

Although it was an old song, watching the live stage, everyone still felt it was very burning, felt it was very hyped, and felt a sense of national pride.

My Huaxia is indeed vast and rich, and indeed the scenery is beautiful!

With such magnificent rivers and mountains, shouldn't one feel proud?

As the song reached its finale, amidst a burst of intense drumming, the singing and the music paused for a brief moment.

After the pause, Xue Ning and Tian Ming sang out together:

"【These mountains—these rivers—this map—splashed with ink!】"

While singing this part, the stage effects truly created a sense of brushstrokes as vivid as dragons and snakes.

A scroll, formed by the special effects, slowly unfurled.

Amidst the singing, it was as if something was being painted.

This song, "Map of Mountains and Rivers," also utilized a large amount of traditional folk music.

However, its style leaned towards a combination of 【Ancient Style】 and 【Electronic】, belonging to a relatively trendy mode.

When the song concluded, Xue Ning began to sing the 【Mongolian Long Tune】 from the beginning again.

This would bring everyone's emotions to a peak!

And during the 【Long Tune】 of the song, the scroll formed by the stage effects was officially completed.

The barrage of comments swept in instantly.

"Is this a Dunhuang mural being painted?"

"Flying Apsaras mural? It's Dunhuang Flying Apsaras, right?"

"So beautiful! It's totally a goddess!"

Seeing this, many viewers didn't find it abrupt at all.

Because this group is called 【Fengge Group】, after all.

Fengge Nine Heavens, after all.

What's more, the song "Map of Mountains and Rivers" had already mentioned Dunhuang.

The lyrics are 【My body hidden in the vast desert of Dunhuang, dancing with my golden feathers】.

After the Flying Apsaras Map appeared, the song "Map of Mountains and Rivers" had actually already ended.

What was presented to the audience next was a transition sequence between programs.

That was, this map began to fly.

It flew over every place sung about in the song.

The mountains include Changbai Mountain, Mount Emei, Kunlun Mountain, and so on.

The rivers include Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, and so on.

It just flew and flew, taking the audience to appreciate the magnificent rivers and mountains sung about in the song once more.

Many people thought it would fly to the Dunhuang Grottoes and then end there.

But in reality, that was not the case.

What Luo Mo wanted was for the netizens to be unable to guess it.

He chose the song "Map of Mountains and Rivers" precisely for this program transition.

The following program was no longer a singing one, but—a dance!

The previous "Tang Palace Night Banquet" had brought the pottery figurines in the museum to life, transforming them into young female musicians in the palace.

This time, Luo Mo prepared to use the same trick again.

It was just that the objects brought to life changed from pottery figurines to the Flying Apsaras goddesses in the Dunhuang murals.

One could see this painting slowly sinking into the water.

When it sank to the depths of the water, rays of light began to flicker.

The 【Immortal in the Painting】 thus came to life.

Throughout the entire process, it transitioned very naturally into another program.

The program name—"Prayer"!

This was another "king bomb" dance released by Henan Satellite TV on Earth after "Tang Palace Night Banquet."

At the time, it even "startled" the domestic diplomatic corps, and Ms. Hua praised the dance on her personal Twitter account, letting overseas audiences see the romance and charm of Huaxia dance!

The moment the program's name appeared, the music was sacred, elegant, and solemn.

A beam of light seemed to pierce through the water's surface, shining on the woman at the bottom of the water.

The goddess at the bottom of the water, at this very moment........

——opened her eyes!

"Prayer" had just begun, and many people in the barrage were typing: "I've got goosebumps!"

The stage for "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was very fiery and high-energy, pushing the atmosphere to the heavens, making people feel like their scalps were flying off.

Most programs transitioning after it would likely be under great pressure.

It's hard to hold the stage!

But the moment the 【Immortal in the Painting】 opened her eyes in the tranquil water, the stage was held instantly.

When she opened her eyes, she did not move.

However, her dress and her ribbons were moving in the water!

This kind of imagery, moving with the water, can bring a strong visual impact to people.

The essence of the dance is relying on the water to show the effect of floating.

She was clearly in the water, yet it would make you feel like she was in the air.

The barrage was completely exploding at this moment.

"So beautiful!"

"This visual impact is too strong!"

"Luo Mo's choreography is too Ox, isn't it?"

"Beautiful to the point of tears, amazing, just amazing!"

In a mere thirty seconds, the goddess in the water had already conquered the national audience.

However, please note one very important point.

Up until this moment, her bare feet had basically been stepping on the bottom of the water.

In other words, the ultimate move hadn't even been unleashed yet!

The entire duration of the dance "Prayer" is less than two minutes.

But this is a solo dance.

When it reached about 50 seconds, the background music instantly became even more magnificent.

Amidst the magnificent music, the goddess in the water exerted a slight force with both feet and kicked upward.

The next moment, her entire person headed upward!

It is true that she floated up in the water, but the overall visual effect created was as if she were flying!

She recreated the imagery of the "Flying Apsaras"!

Huaxia people have a great deal of romance contained within the concept of Flying Apsaras.

The moment she flew up, her long ribbons drifted in the water.

——Graceful as a startled swan, supple as a swimming dragon!

You would feel that everything is very ethereal and soft, but for some reason, you can also feel a sense of power! Feel the tension within it!

It's the New Year, and many people actually didn't want to leave the following exclamations in the bullet comments, but they simply couldn't hold them back.

"Holy shit!"

"Damn it! Too Ox!"

"It made me explode on the spot!"

If the goddess opening her eyes made many people get a little goosebumps, then when the scene of the goddess flying appeared, many people truly felt their scalps tingling!

Luo Mo's choreography is too strong, and this goddess's dance is also too beautiful.

Previously, "Tang Palace Night Banquet" opened up many people's thinking, making them feel that combining dance and culture had great potential.

But most people didn't do it as well as Luo Mo.

Quite a few viewers also felt that the dance from the previous New Year's Eve Gala should have been the peak.

And for the same type of thing, it is definitely most stunning the first time it appears!

But today, Luo Mo gave the answer.

——You all thought too much.

With five thousand years of Huaxia culture, how could there be no material, and how could one not fuse it with new ideas?

What is lacking is merely people who do this seriously.

The performance underwater is—truly beautiful to the point of suffocation!

Utilizing the water allows the costume to spread out, presenting the greatest visual effect.

Thereby, let you understand what is meant by: As if light clouds veil the moon, as if swirling winds stir the snow.

This is the immortal aura!

Even though she displayed the softness of the female physique, everyone felt that everything was very holy, and everything was inviolable!

Luo Mo: "It's the New Year, and I don't have anything to give everyone, so I'll just invite a fairy to descend to the mortal world and dance a piece for you all."

——Is this something we mortals can watch for free?

Are you sure this isn't plagiarism? I suspect you copied a dance that should have appeared at the "Pan Tao Hui"!

Sun Wukong went there once and ended up serving five hundred years in prison!

One program after another, every single one was conveying Luo Mo's ambition for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

He integrated too much Huaxia culture.

The audience watched the Flying Apsaras posture presented underwater, and the spiritual impact was extremely strong.

"Cultural confidence?"

"I'm fucking directly culturally inflated!"
