Chapter 107: Midsummer Light Year

As the song ended, the audience members in swimsuits in front of the stage erupted into screams and cheers.

Most people who come out to play are here to have a blast.

Yet, in the crowd, there were also a small number of people with complex expressions.

As they listened to this song, "Gentle," they couldn't help but think of someone in their hearts.

However, overall, this song did not bring down the atmosphere of the stage.

Li Ge had gone on stage before Luo Mo; as mentioned earlier, Li Ge belongs to the hardcore Rap school, and his style is very similar to a well-known security guard on Earth: Pharaoh.

His performance just now, with almost a minute of continuous delivery without taking a breath, was still enough to blow the roof off the place.

Luo Mo's "Gentle" at the beginning made people feel very lyrical, but it did ultimately lower the temperature of the stage a bit; however, once the band began to join in with the accompaniment and he sang those few lines of 【Angry Voice】, the overall atmosphere actually climbed even higher!

You need plot buildup to have a climax; you can't rush it.

Backstage, a smile appeared on Ning Dan's face.

"This can be considered a satisfactory answer for Penguin," she said in her heart.

Luo Mo coming to Penguin Video's "Walking and Singing" to sing the full version of "Gentle" was equivalent to repaying the favor to Penguin Video, so there would be no debt between them for future collaborations.

Penguin Video is one of the four major platforms, and looking at its overall strength, it is actually a little stronger than Pineapple TV, ranking second among the four major video platforms.

The most important thing is that Penguin's power does not just lie in its video platform; the entertainment industries they are involved in are simply too vast.

Being able to get involved with the Goose System and establish a good cooperative relationship will make Luo Mo's path much easier to walk in the future.

And what Ning Dan can do is to pull strings and build bridges for this young man in the field of variety shows, which she is most proficient in.

After the song, Luo Mo looked back at the band behind him.

Wei Ran and the others had just finished warming up and were in a rather excited state.

Luo Mo's gaze swept over them and landed on Ding Xiaoyu, who was sitting in front of the drum kit with half her body obscured, and he gave her a thumbs up.

Perhaps it was the previous wantonness and relaxation that allowed this girl to reach a certain degree of ease; she was not as repressed and inhibited as usual, and her face was beaming with a bright smile.

Luo Mo looked at her and thought to himself: "Good heavens, if she were studying normally at school, how many boys' youth would she be."

Luo Mo stood in front of the mic stand and said with a smile: "So, today's performance ends here..."

He paused deliberately at this point, taking a deep breath.

Sure enough, some Strangers jumped out from the audience and shouted loudly: "Luo Mo! Overtime!"

Once one Stranger stood out, a large number of Strangers followed suit.

Some audience members didn't actually know this meme, but they shouted along anyway.

You have to know, this is a music festival.

Many audience members have rich experience in watching music festivals and even concerts.

Many Singers have this kind of segment when holding concerts; the Singer will go off stage first, and then, amidst the audience's shouts of "Overtime," they will return to the stage to sing a few more songs.

This model is designed to satisfy the audience while also avoiding the feeling that the night's noise has come to an abrupt end.

If it ends suddenly, the audience will feel a sense of loss and feel empty after watching.

But if they return to the stage to sing more after going off, then when it finally ends, everything will seem more natural.

This kind of design is quite clever; it actually captures the psychology of some of the audience.

Amidst the endless calls for overtime, a look of embarrassment appeared on Luo Mo's face.

Sitting behind the drum kit, Ding Xiaoyu looked at the Back Shadow of this man in front of her, and she could even guess what expression was on Luo Mo's face.

"He really seems to love playing tricks on people," Ding Xiaoyu said in her heart.

To be precise, she had once again been forcibly turned into an accomplice by Luo Mo this time.

She knew there was still one song left to sing, which meant she was also participating in the prank segment.

She turned her head to look at Wei Ran and the others, only to see that these two drama queens, Wei Ran and Li Ge, had already walked together; even though they were just chatting, they had to squeeze out an expression of discussing something.

While talking about eating a late-night snack, the expressions on their faces made it look like they were infected by the audience's enthusiasm and were discussing whether to really work overtime.

Ding Xiaoyu felt that this group of men was really too bad, but when she gathered her gaze back onto that Back Shadow, she only felt that this cheap master of hers had brought her another very wonderful experience.

Luo Mo coughed twice and said: "Alright, alright, I confess, okay? There is one more song!"

His sudden "confession" caught Wei Ran and Li Ge, who were still acting, off guard.

It made the two of them so angry they wanted to pick up their guitars and smash him.

As soon as Luo Mo finished speaking, endless screams erupted throughout the venue.

And Luo Mo's next sentence ignited the audience's enthusiasm once again, as if the pool below was about to boil along with it.

"A new song, dedicated to everyone!" Luo Mo said loudly.

Since it is this kind of water music festival, the proportion of young people must be very high.

Upon hearing that Luo Mo would bring a new song, how could they not be excited?

"We hit the jackpot! This isn't just hitting the jackpot!"

"Damn, I paid the ticket price for a civilian music festival and got to hear so many stars sing!"

"I'm speechless, I feel like I can brag to my besties for two nights!"

"Did I win the lottery today? I actually get to hear Luo Mo's new song live?"

"Not bad, 'Walking and Singing' has really made something of itself!"

The heat of a Top Traffic is still terrifying, especially a Top Traffic like Luo Mo who has a quite high proportion of male fans.

Many people even felt that "Walking and Singing" had finally been awesome for once!

You know, if it were that kind of star with a very low proportion of male fans, after they appear, the surrounding women would scream, and the men's perception would be very poor, and they might even grumble a few words.

And if it were on Earth, when a male star like Hu Ge, who has an outrageously high proportion of male fans, appears, the men's cheers might be even louder than the women's, and there might even be a few shameless ones shouting: "Old Hu! Laozi Love You!"

Luo Mo stood in front of the mic stand, put his mouth close to the microphone, and said in a deep voice: "This summer is a summer of extraordinary significance to me. This time, the 'Walking and Singing' production team's test question was to come up with a song about summer."

"So, Rock—'Midsummer Light Year,' dedicated to everyone!"

Summer had just left, and the sound of cicadas all around had not yet ceased.

Then, let's catch the tail of the summer that has already slipped away, and let it bloom once more!

The song's prelude began to sound.

The prelude alone was catchy enough.

Many people say that the melody of a song is what gives it a soul.

Then, no matter which version of "Midsummer Light Year" it is, the melody always carries a sense of imagery and storytelling.

As soon as Luo Mo opened his mouth, the audience could tell this was a song with a hint of "rebellion."

"【My proud destruction,"

"My hated mediocrity,"

"Only then do I remember those are what I love the most.】"

There are many versions of the song "Midsummer Light Year," and at the same time, there are many covers.

Just on the stage of "I Am a Singer," many Singers have sung it, such as Lin Yilian, such as Yuan Yawei.

Of course, among the covers by female Singers, there is also the Chen Bing version from that summer many years ago, which stunned countless people.

Her version, among the many covers, can be considered the explosive kind.

And during those days when concerts were not allowed nationwide, Mayday held an Online Concert on the last day of May.

There was not a single audience member in the venue; they walked toward the stage to the prelude of "Midsummer Light Year," creating one of the most classic live performances of this song.

Luo Mo's singing voice was very catchy, and the audience held a strong curiosity toward a brand-new song.

"【Let midsummer go play, take the cruel future,"

"And throw it wildly to light years away,"

"And now—】"

Ding Xiaoyu looked at the Back Shadow of the man singing in front, beating the drum kit in front of her, her entire mood gradually sinking into it.

She liked this song very much, because the state within this song was something she extremely envied.

"【Abandon the rules, indulge in love."

"Be reckless, empty out the future."

"I will not turn, I will not turn,"

"I will not turn, I will not turn.】"

The song began to enter the B section.

There were subtle differences in the lyrics.

It was only after Luo Mo sang "I will not turn" a few more times that the song reached its greatest climax.

At the same time, this part was also Luo Mo's personal favorite part.

It was also the most explosive and essential part of this entire song.

No matter which version it is, the emotions in this section are always the fullest.

And Ding Xiaoyu had been looking forward to the appearance of this section from the very beginning.

Luo Mo was seen standing in front of the mic stand; this time, instead of holding the microphone on the stand with both hands to sing, he grabbed the microphone directly off the stand.

The on-site equipment at a music festival is quite a bit worse compared to a large-scale concert.

But for a truly powerful Singer, even with a fully live microphone, they can bring enough shock to the audience.

Luo Mo sank slightly, lowered his head and sang loudly, his singing style carrying a slight sense of roaring, carrying a hysterical blooming like that of midsummer.

It was just like cicadas buried underground; their life cycle after metamorphosis is extremely short.

Even so, they must resonate through this summer as much as they can.

"【I want, I'm crazy, I want, I love, that is—,"

"I want, I'm crazy, I want, I love, now—,"

"Ten thousand mp3s, ten thousand crazy loves,"

"Cannot extinguish a tiny loneliness!】"

After this section appeared, the mood at the scene reached its peak.

Since it was a water music festival, just having a blast is all that matters!

In the accompaniment of this part, the sense of rhythm was also the most intense.

With surging water splashes before her eyes, Ding Xiaoyu played the drum kit wantonly, sweat dripping from her face; she felt a sense of ease and release she had never experienced this year.

She had learned the drum kit in secret.

Just as she said, it was self-taught.

Her family and agent hoped that this musical instrument genius girl would learn more elegant Yueqi.

Piano, violin, cello... they felt things like the drum kit did not fit her persona.

But Ding Xiaoyu just felt that when she struck with force, she could make the gloom in her heart lessen.

This feeling was the same as when she was acting.

She could use the guise of a character to cry, laugh, and make a scene.

In reality, she could also rely on forcefully beating the drum kit, breaking into a sweat, and bringing herself to a state of relaxation.

On stage, Luo Mo's pitch was still rising.

"【I want, I'm crazy, I want, I love, that is—,"

"I want, I'm crazy, I want, I love, now—,"

"A carnival of midsummer,"

"Has arrived light years away...】"

Come to think of it, paired with the atmosphere of the water park, these lyrics are quite fitting.

At this moment, Luo Mo once again switched to holding the microphone with both hands.

As mentioned before, Ning Dan does not like small-scale tinkering; even for a music festival, she insists on spending money to go big.

Suddenly, behind the stage, incomparably brilliant fireworks began to be set off!

At this very instant, Luo Mo sang the line of lyrics he personally liked the most in the entire song.

It was also a question posed to the human heart.

If one were to say that adolescence is a midsummer, then when this summer completely ends, you are an adult.

Many people will tell you that since you are an adult, there are things you can do and things you cannot do.

You are no longer a child; you must learn to be mature.

It is very strange; many of the qualities that adults taught you when you were a child are the same ones they will teach you to discard once you have grown up.

Only then can you become a qualified adult!

This lyric comes from a very famous book called "The Catcher in the Rye".

——【"Is growing up a festering that everyone must go through!"】

Amidst the brilliant fireworks, Luo Mo held the microphone with both hands and sang out the final rebellion of an individual.

【"Abandon the rules, indulge in love.

Be wanton, empty out the future.

I will not turn! I will not turn!

I will not turn! I will not turn!!!"】
