Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

Seeing this, Ling Luo continued, "The 'willow catkins,' 'blue stone steps,' 'paper umbrellas,' and other elements used in the song create a tranquil, melancholic, and timeless atmosphere. If the verse is subtle and restrained, then the chorus is unrestrained and desperate."

The resolute determination of "playing half a lifetime's worth of snow on a broken string," and the ruthless destruction of "the awning boat shattering its reflection," elevate the song's emotion to multiple levels.

Ling Luo paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the arrangement, many current Chinese-style songs pile up fancy words and overuse traditional instruments. They sound lively, but the core is empty."

"And in your song, whether it's the guzheng's pauses or the xiao's entry, it's not about 'traditional Chinese style' for the sake of 'traditional Chinese style'; they serve the emotions and the story."

"The most touching part of the whole song is not the technique, but the sense of 'melancholy' hidden in the notes, unique to the misty rain of Jiangnan."

"This is a sophisticated form of emotional expression."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Nan Ye'an was stunned.

After a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.

"A true friend!"

"A sense of loss! Yes! That's the word! That's the feeling I had in mind when I wrote it, but I couldn't find the most precise word to describe it!"

Nan Ye'an's expression towards Ling Luo had changed from admiration to utter respect.

"Young friend Ling, I admire you!"

The chat in the live stream went crazy.

Holy crap! Awesome! This review is so professional!

Even I, a complete novice, understood it; now I know what makes a good song so special!

【“It’s not about promoting traditional Chinese style for its own sake”—this phrase perfectly expresses my feelings! Teacher Luo Mu understands so well!】

Damn it, I used to think he was too young, but now I realize I was blind to his true worth!

After saying that, Nan Ye'an turned to Qin Hanwen, who was next to Ling Luo, and said, "Brother Qin, let's switch seats."

Qin Hanwen: ...... "Get out of here."

"Oh dear, you don't write about traditional Chinese style, so why are you sitting here? Come on, let's change seats, and I'll have a discussion with my friend Ling."

As he spoke, he abandoned the singer he had brought and pulled Qin Hanwen up, sitting down in Qin Hanwen's seat.

Qin Hanwen looked at the singer Nan Ye'an brought with a helpless expression: "Hey, then the singer you brought can be considered mine. This is not my fault, it's because you Nan creators don't want you anymore."

The live stream was bustling with activity thanks to the two lively characters.

I love this kind of show; it's heartwarming.

[Exactly! What scheming, what plot twists? Where did all these misunderstandings come from?]

[Am I the only one who noticed that these two teachers are really praising Ling Luo?]

[Perhaps it's a case of mutual appreciation between creators; after all, Ling Luo is so talented.]

The atmosphere remained lively throughout the following performances.

  

Qin Hanwen and his apprentice Li Shaoyun delivered a powerful rock song that ignited the entire audience.

Later, a singer-songwriter brought a heart-wrenching love song, which brought tears to the eyes of many sentimental singers.

Some people sang upbeat folk songs, as if taking everyone to a peaceful field.

But before any of the creators had even shown their best skills, the scene was already a battle of the gods.

Soon, it was Qi Hongyu's turn.

The singer he brought was a powerful vocalist from the company.

A gorgeously arranged and highly rhythmic electronic dance track instantly brought the atmosphere to another climax.

The performance ended with thunderous applause.

"As expected of Teacher Qi, this song is definitely the next hit!"

"That was amazing! I felt my whole body shaking!"

Qi Hongyu smiled and waved as a sign of thanks.

Yu Hongchang took the stage again: "Thank you, Teacher Qi Hongyu! Every year at the creative camp, Teacher Qi always brings us surprises!"

"So now, we have eleven creators who have completed their opening performances."

"Next, we'll be the last one!"

Yu Hongchang's voice suddenly rose, filled with suspense.

"Let's give a warm round of applause to Mr. Luo Mu and his singers for the final opening show!"

The lights converge.

All eyes were on Ling Luo and the row of singers behind him.

Gu Yang, Suo Binbin, Qin Wei...

[Here it comes! The grand finale is here!]

I wonder who Teacher Luo will send on stage?

[It must be Guyang! The trump card should be played first!]

I'm guessing it's Suo Binbin. His voice is very distinctive; he'd be perfect as a surprise weapon.

Qin Wei is not bad either; after all, she replaced An Jiaojiao, so she must have some ability.

Amidst everyone's speculation, the singers behind Ling Luo remained motionless.

Gu Yang even leaned back leisurely in his chair, a smile of anticipation on his face.

What happened?

Everyone was puzzled.

Ling Luo stood up.

He didn't turn around, nor did he speak to any of the singers.

He simply straightened his shirt cuffs, then strode forward, step by step, toward the center of the stage.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

You could hear a pin drop.

The live stream chat stopped.

【? ? ? ? 】

[What's going on? Why is Ling Luo on stage?]

[He...he wouldn't be going to get a microphone for the singer, would he?]

[You've gone to the wrong place! The singer is behind us!]

Qi Hongyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Nan Ye'an was also stunned and adjusted her glasses.

Even the host, You Hongchang, was caught off guard. He opened his mouth and looked at the production team, only to find that they were also completely bewildered.

"The curtain falls... Teacher?" You Hongchang asked tentatively.

Ling Luo walked to the center of the stage and naturally took a microphone from a staff member.

He tested the sound.

Then, he looked down at the audience, his gaze lingering on Gu Yang for a second.

Gu Yang gave him a thumbs-up.

Ling Luo's lips curled up slightly.

He raised the microphone, and his gentle voice filled the entire venue.

"Teacher Nan said that the opening performance needs to have some significance. I wonder what the significance of my first performance on screen is?"

boom--!

If Ling Luo's admission that she was the curtain call was like throwing a depth charge into a calm lake.

So now, his words have directly detonated a nuclear bomb!

The singers at the scene went crazy!

"Did I hear that right? He's going to sing it himself?!"

"Holy crap! If I remember correctly, he's a creator, right?!"

After three seconds of complete silence, the live stream chat exploded with unprecedented, terrifying speed, instantly flooding the entire screen!

【Aa ...

[He's gone mad! I'm going mad! He's going to sing it himself?!]

[Holy crap! Wait... screen debut!!! Ah, I'm going to die, this is so meaningful I could watch it a hundred times.]

So he's not only about to become a top-tier songwriter, but he can also sing?! Doesn't that leave any room for others to compete?!

[To all the medal-winning sisters! Happy New Year! In my lifetime, I've finally seen my favorite creator sing!]

The Weibo server, which was just rescued by the programmer, has once again gloriously crashed.

Programmer: You think you're so great? You think you're so high and mighty? You think you can play us like robots?

[Slams table] This lousy job is for whoever wants to do it.
