Chapter 76: One More Song
The singing ended, and silence fell all around.
The lighting on the stage was somewhat dim, with most of the light gathered on Luo Mo in the C-Position.
As mentioned before, when the monk on the big screen opened his eyes, Luo Mo, dressed in white, had already lowered his head.
At this very moment, a spotlight shone toward that side, but it seemed to have missed its mark.
This spotlight did not hit Luo Mo squarely; instead, it landed to his left, half a step away.
This left his entire figure half-lit and half-shadowed.
"Is it a stage error?"
"What is the production team doing? This is the final pose, can't they give the performer a proper spotlight?"
Just as the audience was feeling puzzled, Luo Mo moved.
Still keeping his head lowered, he extended his left hand forward.
Dressed in snow-white, symbolizing a state of being untainted, he raised his left arm.
His left wrist landed perfectly within the spotlight.
As he raised his left arm, his sleeve pulled up slightly, revealing a small section of skin on his forearm.
And right there at his wrist, a red thread was tied!
——A thread of fate!
The white attire and the red thread created an exceptionally striking contrast!
"This isn't a stage error, this is part of the stage design!"
The spotlight was intentionally aimed to the left!
"It's explosive, this final pose is explosive!"
Many audience members, still immersed in the song, felt their emotions reach a peak when they saw Luo Mo lower his head to perform this action.
Jiang Ningxi looked at Luo Mo on stage with his head lowered and thought to herself: "He's started bewitching the audience on the spot again."
This man's stage performances are addictive if you watch them too much...
She believed that this final pose alone, combined with the emotional buildup of the entire song, would likely win over countless fans!
The spotlight shone on the red thread, and the entire venue erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Wei Ran stood up and led the applause, and the other mentors, seeing him, also stood up to applaud.
Li Ge once again entered "husband-sings-wife-follows" mode, letting out sharp, teasing whistles of "Ooh—ooh—".
Amidst the unending cheers, the members of the Anonymous Team gathered together, bowed to the audience, and concluded the performance.
"Luo Mo! Luo Mo!"
"Anonymous!!!"
Many in the audience were still shouting, offering their own passion.
Once the audience's emotions calmed down, Wei Ran picked up the microphone and said: "Alright, alright, everyone calm down. If I had known a single red thread could blow up the stage, I would definitely tie myself up all over during my future concerts."
After cracking a joke, he naturally pushed the flow toward the critique segment.
Wei Ran pondered for a moment, and as a Music Mentor, he finally said: "Luo Mo, from my personal perspective, this song of yours is still impeccable!"
"What surprised me most about your stage this time is not just your innovation regarding the Drama of the Daughter Kingdom, but also the emotional progression and the small, thoughtful details on stage."
"Whether it's your attire, the layering of the song, or the visuals, poetry, and red thread on the big screen, I think it's all excellent."
As Wei Ran spoke, Xu Chujing, who was beside him, nodded.
She picked up the microphone and said: "In terms of content, this song should logically be sung by a female Singer."
Luo Mo heard this and nodded.
"Daughter's Love," after all, is told from the perspective of the Queen of the Daughter Kingdom; it is inherently a song prepared for a female Singer.
Xu Chujing said: "So I agree with what little Wei just said; the layering of the stage is very well done."
"At the beginning, the few trainees in black clothes were likely playing the roles of inner demons, and the emotion was suppressed while Singing."
"The white clothes and the black clothes are actually all the holy monk."
"Tong Shu's voice is very unique; this performance should count as a cross-gender vocal, and the part you sang in the first chorus is actually the expression of the Daughter Kingdom Queen's love."
"Then, Luo Mo sings the B-section from the perspective of the holy monk, combined with the Drama on the big screen behind you, transforming a song that should have been sung by a woman into the holy monk's inner monologue. This is a very clever technique that reduces the sense of dissonance."
As Xu Chujing gave her critique, the other celebrity mentors nodded along.
These elements were quite clearly expressed, and when combined, the feeling was very wondrous.
Xu Chujing continued: "Moreover, I personally really like the poem that appeared on the screen later."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo nodded one after another.
This poem had also touched them, and combined with the song, it felt particularly poignant.
Intuition told them that this poem might also cause a certain level of sensation!
It was written too well, and it was too bold!
"Not failing the Buddha, not failing you"—it's incredible!
Finally, Xu Chujing looked at Luo Mo and said: "Luo Mo, it's interesting to say, even though our duet version of 'Red Actor' was just released and we just finished collaborating, your 'Daughter's Love' still made my heart flutter."
As soon as this was said, the whole venue was in an uproar.
Does this mean there will be a second collaboration?
That's right, for a song like "Daughter's Love," it would be very normal to release a female Singer version!
Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi, who were on the side, looked at each other upon hearing this.
In fact, before Xu Chujing's critique, their minds had been quite active.
It was obvious that a female vocal version of "Daughter's Love" could be released. With the success of the collaboration between the diva and Luo Mo on "Red Actor" as a precedent, they had certainly thought about whether they should also collaborate with Luo Mo on a song or ask him for one.
Aurora Girls is indeed one of the most popular girl groups in the country, but because the group hasn't debuted for long, all their songs up until now have been group songs.
Take Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo for example; neither of them has released a solo single as an individual yet.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed how it goes: the girl group releases group songs first, and only after the whole group becomes popular, stabilizes, and has a number of works that break out of their niche, do solo works appear.
Moreover, for members of a girl group to release solo singles, they are still quite cautious.
The quality must be top-notch; otherwise, if one jumps out to sing alone, it is easy to be mocked.
It is not just external mockery; it might even trigger that kind of ridicule from internal group fans.
Although this "Daughter's Love" is slightly less pop-oriented, if you calm down and analyze it, you can see that this song is very likely to become a classic.
There is no reason not to be tempted!
Xu Chujing seemed to have noticed the hesitant expressions of the two girl group members and roughly guessed what they were thinking.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Shen, are you two also eyeing this song?"
Honestly, with a Singer Queen openly asking for a song, both Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi intended to withdraw from the competition.
But since Xu Chujing had asked, there was nothing to deny.
Shen Yinuo was straightforward and quick-witted; she nodded directly, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I do have a bit... a whole lot of thoughts on it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mo smiled slightly and said nothing.
And the attitude of the three female mentors was actually indirectly building momentum for him!
Look at that; for the stages of other groups, the mentors still have to criticize a few shortcomings.
But when it comes to Luo Mo, they can't help but want to buy the copyright on the spot, and everyone wants to buy it.
Li Ge was on the side, both complaining and stirring up trouble: "Luo Mo, can you please do a Rap for once? I also want to critique you from a professional perspective, and I also want to snatch a collaboration opportunity."
This Atmosphere Group member started to stir up the atmosphere of the whole venue again.
Luo Mo used his universal reply: "Next time for sure."
"Still 'next time'!?" Li Ge feigned Anger and said, "Next time is the finals!"
Wei Ran pressed him down, harboring a vengeful psychology of always being teased by Luo Mo and then left unsatisfied. He spoke up: "Luo Mo, anyway, this 'Daughter's Love' definitely has nothing to do with us two. Then who do you think this original work of yours is more suitable for among the female mentors?"
Stirring up trouble, he started stirring up trouble.
Wei Ran wasn't making a low-EQ statement; he intended to make Luo Mo fall into a difficult, awkward choice.
He actually wanted to continue the topic of mentors scrambling to buy songs, which was also a disguised way of building momentum for Luo Mo and Raising Status for him.
For a songwriter, of course, having many people eagerly scrambling for songs can show how impressive he is.
Life itself requires facing multiple choices. In many variety shows, after you finish Singing, multiple mentors choose you to join their team; at this time, you even have to make a counter-selection. This is very normal.
Everyone focused their eyes on Luo Mo, and the show's effect was directly maxed out.
This made the dozens of trainees in the waiting room extremely envious, even jealous. They couldn't even obtain the favor of one mentor, let alone this kind of treatment of being fought over.
At this very moment, the audience at the scene hadn't even started voting yet. This kind of scene could influence the audience and have the effect of soliciting votes.
It's just that, asking themselves, the reason their own teams didn't have this segment wasn't because their own performances weren't worthy?
Many trainees watching Luo Mo's performance had a feeling: we are playing at a school anniversary, while he is already playing a concert...
If we have progressed to the level of a concert, he is already on the Spring Festival Gala...
The camera lens locked onto Luo Mo's face. This handsome and compelling young man showed no panic, remained very calm, and didn't even have the slightest bit of difficulty; his expression was very relaxed.
He smiled and said, "Actually, from the perspective of the song itself, I personally think 'Daughter's Love' is more suitable for Jing."
"But..." Luo Mo began to shift the tone.
"Actually, this song 'Daughter's Love' has a sister piece, which is a duet for male and female, and its pop attributes are higher, so it is more suitable for you two."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ran's eyes lit up, and his appetite was whetted again.
Immediately after, he realized something was wrong.
"I was clearly trying to take revenge on him for whetting my appetite, so how did I get hooked by him again?" Wei Ge was speechless.
I have been manipulated by this kid!
Shen Yinuo on the side didn't care whether Wei Ran had been manipulated or not. After hearing Luo Mo's words, she rested her hands on the table, stood up directly, leaned her body slightly forward, and said, "For real?"
Because her movement was too violent, she stood up with a sudden jolt, causing her body to produce a bouncing phenomenon.
Luo Mo looked at this somewhat familiar large-scale chest-killing scene, and a brainwashing BGM began to echo in his mind:
"What is the Happy Planet?"
Isn't this the Happy Planet for adults?
He looked at the eager Shen Yinuo and said, "Yes, there is another song, which was created on the basis of 'Daughter's Love'."
