This Star Wants To Retire

"Mercury" is from Guo Ding's solo album "The Execution Cycle of Aircraft".

A song with more than one million comments on Netease Cloud, the total number of comments can be ranked among the top few in history on the entire platform. The number of likes in hot reviews is in units of hundreds of thousands, which is very scary.

It's been five or six years since this song was released, but like "The Wind Rises", it will suddenly jump into the top ten of the hot song charts on various platforms from time to time, and it is still ranked ninth.

A veteran singer of Lin Yilian's level has also performed a cover of this song, and it was used for competition in a variety show of songs.

There are also many singers such as Chen Chusheng who also have cover songs for competitions.

This is a song that Luo Mo personally likes very much. Before it became popular, he regarded it as a treasure, and he had a hunch that this song only needed an opportunity to become popular.

Facts have proved that his hunch is accurate.

This song is very strange. You may not fall in love with it at first listen, but after listening to it, your perception will be different.

Guo Ding, a singer, is actually more inclined to be a singer who is not popular. Many people have heard his songs, but they may not know what he looks like at all. He is also very low-key, and he hardly shows up to make money.

In the early years, when everyone was still listening to mp3, he actually had several popular songs, such as "Two of Us" and "Two or Three Love Songs".

These two songs were also used as street songs for a period of time back then, and were often set as the background music of QQ Zone. Many people may feel that they have heard these two songs before when they hear the chorus.

Then, the singer disappeared, giving people a feeling of moving behind the scenes. He wrote songs for many singers like Xue Zhiqian and Liu Xijun, but he has not released a new album for seven years.

Seven years later, he curled his long hair, and by the way, he also curled his tongue, changing the way he pronounces words when singing, and his personal style is more prominent.

In addition to "Mercury", the album's popular songs include "Reservation", "Poignant Land" and so on.

It is a sincere work after seven years.

Before this album became popular, it was regarded as a treasure by many people. While expecting it to become popular, they also contradictoryly wanted to keep these songs from being too bad.

At this moment, on the stage of "The King of Love Songs", many people saw the title of the song, and felt inexplicable.

At first glance, it really doesn't look like a love song at all.

If it is written about the moon and the like, everyone can have more associations. The moon and moonlight are often associated with love. For example, there is a well-known sentence on the earth [the moonlight is beautiful tonight], which is regarded as a golden sentence of literary and artistic confession, which is restrained and full of hints.

Most people don't know much about Mercury, and they really don't understand how to write a love song with it as the subject matter.

Not to mention the ordinary audience at the scene, even the 30 so-called professional judges were surprised when they saw the title of the song.

Although you said you were going to sing [a special song], I didn't expect you to set your sights on the stars, the sea, the universe and the galaxy.

It is worth mentioning that the MV of "Mercury" actually has a very special starting point.

Luo Mo's slender fingers are jumping on the keys. The piano accompaniment of this song is actually not complicated, but it is very listenable.

In some songs, the words and music are separated, and they do not create a connected atmosphere. However, in the accompaniment of "Mercury", several tones are actually used over and over again, soothing and with their own rhythm. The feeling of coldness and loneliness in space came.

Luo Mo approached the microphone, and his slightly deep singing voice began to echo in the audience.

"[Drowning in your eyes,

The galaxy has traces to follow,

Through the gap of time,

it's still true,

Draw me track. 】”

The professional judges were sitting in another big room. At this time, a large number of cameras were aimed at them, trying to capture some clues from their faces.

When many people first saw the title of the song, they sighed with regret: "Huh? It's not "Dongfeng Po"."

There is a huge gap in their hearts.

So much so that when I first listened to the song, I always had some emotions.

But the reason why this song may be the tune is that it can calm people down.

The most important thing is that Luo Mo does have a different charm when playing the piano. Surrounded by bright stars, this man is really shining!

The overall singing style of the song has a sense of eloquence.

The stage special effects were also at this time, and a detector that has been revolving around Mercury appeared beside Mercury.

Many smart people understand it all at once.

"This entry point is ingenious!"

Some more literary music critics have already thought of a title - [A Love Poem to the Lonely Starry Sky].

Individual men with rich astronomical knowledge have one knowledge point after another in their minds: Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets and the planet closest to the sun, but it has the largest orbital eccentricity among the eight planets.

Mercury, meanwhile, has no moons.

Then, the aircraft surrounding it has a different meaning.

The song was still going on, and under the ups and downs of several piano sounds, Luo Mo continued to say:

"[This momentary scene, the most intimate distance,

Along the texture of your skin, through the zigzagging arms,

Make a dream for you, make a dream for you.

Wait until you see your silvery world, wait until you can't tell the seasons change,

Dare to say addicted. 】”

From the perspective of the overall singing style, there is a feeling of eloquence, without sensational singing style, as if it is stating one fact after another.

For aircraft, Mercury is so close to it, yet so far away.

——It seems to be close at hand, but out of reach.

The other six singers were in the waiting room, and they had been gradually replaced by this song.

Wei Ran is the one who has the least desire to win against Luo Mo, and he is the second last to play, so now he can enjoy Luo Mo's performance to his heart's content.

He now only feels that this kid is indeed worthy of the title of songwriter ghost, this time the lyrics, the point of entry is so ingenious.

He felt that the songs of other singers might not necessarily fit the theme of [Special Love Song] better than his.

It's just that so far, the content and emotion of the song are very reserved.

To like is to hew and haw, and to be seductive is to make witty remarks.

For many ordinary people, especially when they are still young, the more hot emotions they have in their hearts, the more they will cover them up.

As Victor Hugo wrote: The first sign of true love is timidity in boys, boldness in girls.

Then, for the aircraft, it boldly faces all the stars in the universe, and always revolves around Mercury.

But it is so timid, always keeping a distance, unable to approach.

Until now, the song has officially entered the chorus part.

Luo Mo's expression is still very calm, but the tune of the song has been subtly elevated at this time, and under the foreshadowing in front, the emotions that have been heightened are also pouring out.

"【How far is it to enter your heart,

How long will it take to get close to you.

The person who is so close but can't get close,

Also waiting to meet you.

How can a circumnavigating planet be...

--have you. 】”

At the end of section A of the song, Luo Mo sat in front of the piano and continued to play.

The accompaniment of other musical instruments, as well as the sound of drums, also entered at this time, making the overall mood a deeper level.

Until the end of section B, the overall layout has reached the highest point.

Then, it began to fall to the bottom of the calm valley.

From the perspective of a love song, this song is actually a bit like being with someone in the way of a friend, seemingly very close, but never able to have it, or...

——Not qualified to approach.

Luo Mo put his mouth close to the microphone, and sang in a low voice:

"[Traveling around is boring,

at least you can,

be with you. 】”

At the end of the piano sound, under the leisurely and slightly sad tune, the piano playing and singing "Mercury" officially ended.

Luo Mo stood up and bowed to the audience to thank him.

The host is on stage at this moment to carry out the undertaking work.

As for the votes of the audience and the professional jury, like "I Am a Singer", the votes will be made after everyone has finished singing.

Such a competition system meant that the order of appearances was extremely important, and Luo Mo suffered a great disadvantage from being the first to play because of his low qualifications.

But fortunately, the program group has a new set of rules different from "I Am a Singer", which is more flexible and interesting, but it will not be used until the next issue. The order of appearance in the first phase is purely to show respect to these seniors in the music industry and arrange a face for them.

Therefore, for Luo Mo, it can't be said that he saved the big move for later, because "Mercury" is indeed his favorite, but Guo Ding is not very popular when he is a real person.

But he did not have too many thoughts about the ranking of the first period.

The purpose of this song is to conform to the theme of the first issue. At the same time, there must be piano playing and singing, and the most important thing is to give back to fans by the way.

At the end of the old show, you give to the galaxy.

At the beginning of the new program, it is natural to give them a suitable song.

If these requirements and goals are met, then it will be fine.

In fact, for many fans, they are like singing in "Mercury", they may never see even one side of the person they really like in this life.

You are familiar with the works and everything, but there will always be something like a dimensional wall.

When Luo Mo turned around and stepped off the stage, the audience once again burst into warm applause.

It's just that due to the large age gap of the audience, the feedback enthusiasm is also different in different age groups.

After returning to the lounge, Luo Mo began to watch other singers' performances through the screen.

"Tsk, it's actually pretty good to be the first one on stage. I feel relaxed all of a sudden, and I can watch everyone's performance with peace of mind." Luo Mo leaned on the sofa and said with a smile.

The female employee in charge of the voice-over work in the room asked at the right time: "Then are you willing to be the first on stage every time?"

Luo Mo tilted his head and glanced at him. It is estimated that there will be a few big question marks on his head later in the program.

"Do I look stupid? Hahaha!" Luo Mo said with a smile, "Look at the arrangement later."

The second performer on stage was former rookie Wang Sunyi.

Luo Mo felt that there was a great similarity between his slightly lazy voice and Li Ronghao, who had small eyes and was often compared with pictures of puppies.

The singing is also very similar, and the stature is also tall.

This small-eyed man has always been adhering to the principle of saving money, so most of the songs are all borne by himself.

At the same time, when there was no popularity before, I often sold songs to other singers.

It's just that, the songs he left for himself are all titles like "Model" and "Composer", and the songs he sells to others are... "Ugly".

Sun Yi's creative ability is actually mediocre, so now that he is afraid of being cheated, he refuses to sign a new company, and the resources at hand are very poor. Excellent songwriters are not likely to give him face. Quite average.

After listening to it, Luo Mo felt that his singing skills were not good enough, but he might be ranked lower.

The performances of the next few singers were also not bad, and his perception was completely different from when he watched other people's stages in "Creating Idols".

When Wei Ran came to the stage, Luo Mo clapped at the screen twice, cheered for Brother Wei remotely, and applied a blessing buff.

What Wei Ran brought was one of his masterpieces, which directly led to the chorus of the audience.

From a certain point of view, sometimes singing some old songs can resonate greatly, and the ability to warm up the scene is terrible.

But Luo Mo's oldest song was actually produced only a few months ago...

It is indeed a wonderful feeling to fight with a group of singers.

The last one to take the stage was the superstar Zhao Xueqin.

Zhao Xueqin brought his "Coffee" to the stage. It was obviously a new song just released, but he also specially changed the arrangement for "The King of Love Songs" and added some new elements.

However, some people in the professional judging panel maliciously speculated that Zhao Xueqin changed the arrangement because "Coffee" lost to "Dongfeng Po".

Otherwise, only those like Wei Ran who bring classic old songs will make a new version of old wine in old bottles and adapt it. For a song you just released, the most important thing to do is to play the song, it is publicity, what is the adaptation? Yo.

After Zhao Xueqin finished singing, when he bowed on the spot, the feedback from the whole scene was extremely enthusiastic.

After all, the Heavenly King is a Heavenly King, with a high status and level, and a high degree of nationality, almost everyone knows each other, and the prestige is different.

When Zhao Xueqin walked backstage, the staff in each lounge took the singers to the big lounge.

Next, the 7 participating singers met with the show for the first time.

After the counting of votes is over, chief director Ke Ming will come to announce the final ranking in person.

As soon as the seven singers entered the room, they exchanged polite greetings.

Luo Mo, as the one with the least seniority, had to sit on the side when he was going to be seated, to give the seniors the most basic respect.

Now, the so-called competition for the C position happens from time to time when taking pictures, taking seats, etc. People in the entertainment industry just love to scramble.

Luo Mo himself doesn't care about this, it doesn't matter where a handsome person sits.

At this moment, Zhao Xueqin put his eyes on Luo Mo, squeezed out an appreciative smile on his face, stretched out his right hand to Luo Mo and said, "Luo Mo, the song is not bad."

Luo Mo shook hands with him, said politely, "No, no, I still need a lot of advice from seniors."

Under normal circumstances, this kind of polite words between you and me will stop here.

Zhao Xueqin nodded slightly after hearing the words, and said: "The lyrics are good, the point of entry is very clever, and the melody can actually be a little more work."

Luo Mo nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

But he is very clear that Zhao Tianwang's seemingly casual words will actually have a great impact after the show is broadcast.
