Chapter 163: Breaking Records (Three episodes today, asking for monthly votes!)

After Luo Mo walked off the stage, he actually had to go backstage first to change out of his clothes and ancient costume headpiece.

After changing into the uniform audience attire, he then headed to the audience seating area.

During this process, that group of elders talked quite a bit about his song, "Loyalty to the Country."

Several elders were so moved their eyes turned red, and they kept muttering, "Inspiring! Truly inspiring!"

"This song is good!"

"What was the name of that young man the host mentioned just now?"

Sitting in the crowd, He Ping'an looked full of spirit; the old gentleman sat with his back straight, gave a light cough, and said, "Ahem! He was my recommendation to old Qian."

"Whoa! Look at you, old He is starting to act like an Ox again!"

Some of these elders had already lost their teeth, chatting away with happy smiles.

But from their words and expressions, there was an undisguised appreciation for Luo Mo.

For many people, this song is about singing of a kind of willpower.

But ah, my friend, for these elders, what this song is singing about is their real lives.

……..

……..

When Luo Mo walked into the audience area under the guidance of the staff, he nodded to acknowledge people he recognized while looking for his seat.

Being able to continue watching the performance in the audience after one's own performance ends is a rare honor.

Qian Qingyun appreciated him, which is why he gave this benefit to a young man with the least seniority in the entire venue and only a few dozen days since his debut.

"Row eleven, seat eleven, where is it?" Luo Mo searched.

This seat number is truly auspicious...

Just as he was bending over to look for his seat, he saw an old gentleman on the other side wave a large hand at him.

Luo Mo didn't quite understand, then pointed at himself.

The old man nodded, then beckoned him over, signaling for him to sit there.

The staff added a chair over there.

Just like that, the young man with the least seniority in the entire venue ended up mingling among a group of old gentlemen.

When the camera swept over, it couldn't have been more conspicuous.

Old gentleman, old gentleman, old gentleman, handsome guy, old gentleman...

Alright, in reality, it was a group of old handsome guys and one young handsome guy.

The temperament of these elders was very peculiar; just sitting there, the feeling they gave off was completely different from ordinary old people.

Luo Mo considered himself to have a big heart, but sitting beside this group of elders, he was still very nervous.

As for the stars from the entertainment circle, they didn't even dare to look directly or glance toward this direction, only daring to peek with their peripheral vision.

This feeling was exactly like the scene from school days when passing by the next class and stealing a glance at the school heartthrob.

"Luo Mo actually sat over there!" they all exclaimed in their hearts.

Could it be that his background is even more impressive than we imagined?

Or is it that they have a very good impression of this Newcomer?

Regardless of which one it is, since he sat in that position today, from now on, his status in the circle will be completely different.

"Don't provoke him if you don't have to," one star after another warned themselves in their hearts.

In this day and age, anyone who can gain traffic is thinking about cashing in, thinking about earning as much as possible.

Only this Top Traffic settled his heart, took it one step at a time, and walked a path that ordinary people wouldn't dare to think of and wouldn't think could be walked well.

For many mainstream works, it is very difficult to get excellent market feedback.

Since he is already Top Traffic, wouldn't it be better to just relax and soar?

We've been in the circle for so long, and we've never heard of any traffic star doing this.

Look at you, there isn't a single bit of the look a traffic star should have on you, you detestable representative of righteousness!

I beg you, hurry up and produce something negative.

Goods compared to goods should be thrown away, people compared to people should die of shame.

We who mix in the traffic circle are about to be unable to survive because of you!

This wicked young man, to put it exaggeratedly, is changing the fans' aesthetic for traffic stars with his own strength!

Having already reached the peak of traffic, he still resolutely walked the most difficult path.

But he just happened to walk it through.

Then, all that is left for everyone else is envy.

At this very moment, after Luo Mo sat down, the few elders only chatted with him briefly, and then He Ping'an patted his shoulder lightly.

Other than that, there was nothing else; everyone continued to watch the program quietly.

When it reached nine-twenty, Xu Chujing finally appeared.

As mentioned before, there are levels among Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens. Qian Qingyun gave this top-tier Heavenly Queen face; she also had a solo performance, and the most top-tier Yueqi master accompanied her live.

And the song she was singing was—"Red Actor"!

Which is to say, Luo Mo not only participated in this gala as a Newcomer, which is unprecedented, but there were also two songs he wrote in the gala!

Director Qian knew this song was written by Luo Mo, and also knew the relationship between Luo Mo and Xu Chujing in "Creating Idols," so he instructed the camera to capture Luo Mo when giving close-ups of the audience.

Luo Mo was seen sitting upright, a smile on his face, with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

The audience didn't think much of it, only taking it as a former trainee's respect for his mentor, as well as his admiration for Heavenly Queen Xu's profound singing skills.

Little did they know that Luo Mo was saying in his heart: "How can this woman be so beautiful?"

"Beautiful is one thing, but her figure is also this good."

"The most outrageous part is that it completely aligns with my aesthetic."

Not to mention, since the song is "Red Actor," Xu Chujing is also wearing red today.

If you round it up, it's equivalent to wearing a couple's outfit in front of the entire national audience.

And it's red, too!

On stage, every smile and frown of hers, every glance back, every expression, made Luo Mo feel she was infinitely charming.

To be precise, she is already a recognized heartthrob, a recognized goddess-level figure.

Once she put on the red dress, combined with her full aura, even Luo Mo was a bit shaken.

"It feels like she made some small, detailed adjustments to this song herself; it's even more refined than when we sang it together before," Luo Mo thought to himself.

To prove that he hadn't become lecherous and wasn't only focusing on Xu Chujing's beautiful exterior, he made a professional critique in his heart.

Then, he continued to admire her beauty.

At this moment, He Ping'an said to Luo Mo: "Did you write this song?"

He knew Luo Mo wrote it; the reason he said such a seemingly redundant sentence was actually for the sake of the other elders to hear.

It was opera, and it was about the nation; especially that line, "Though my status is humble, I dare not forget to worry for the country," still struck deep into their hearts.

Luo Mo nodded.

He Ping'an didn't say much, just casually praised: "Not bad."

The other elders also continued to watch the performance, but if this were a novel about games, subtitles would float above their heads: 【Favorability +1, +1, +1.......】

When the song "Red Actor" ended, amidst the final accompaniment, Xu Chujing's red dress fluttered as she moved gracefully in the center of the stage, then struck a final pose.

Her eyelids lowered slightly, and her gaze looked toward the audience.

Because the two were quite far apart, Luo Mo didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Xu Chujing was looking at him.

Their gazes crossed just like that.

She was singing the song he wrote in front of the national audience, and at the end of the stage, her eyes looked at him in the crowd.

This scene, indeed, echoed that line:

"But I only look into his eyes, and I do not care what millions of people are cheering for."

The National Day Gala concluded successfully amidst applause, cheers, and the hosts' congratulatory remarks.

Qian Qingyun, backstage, let out a long breath; organizing a gala is quite exhausting, but fortunately, there were no live broadcast accidents.

Only at this moment did he have time to take a look at the real-time ratings curve.

This year's National Day Gala had two peak values in ratings.

They were "Loyal Patriot" and "Red Actor," respectively.

Among them, Luo Mo's solo stage ratings were slightly higher than Xu Chujing's.

This does not mean that Luo Mo's appeal is already stronger than this top-tier diva; there is still a significant gap between the two in terms of National Popularity.

It is mainly because Luo Mo brought a new song, and it was a Chinese Style new song.

This made many people watch the Live Broadcast specifically for him.

"A Newcomer who hasn't even been debuted for a hundred days has set the highest ratings for the National Day Gala in the last three years... no, if the actual data doesn't deviate much from the real-time data, it should be the last four years!" A big director like Qian Qingyun couldn't help but gasp.

This feeling is like a debut film starring a Newcomer breaking the box office records of these past few years!

"When these figures are released tomorrow, I'm afraid it will trigger a major earthquake in the industry, right?" Qian Qingyun thought.

For Luo Mo, it was glory added to his person, and a crown placed upon his head!

Knowing the importance of a guide, Director Qian made a decision in his heart to personally lead Luo Mo into the film industry to cement this connection.

Little did he know, a certain mature and bright woman had already stolen a march.

She is both the National Producer Representative for "Creating Idols" and the guide for Luo Mo's entry into the film and television industry.

It can be said that Luo Mo has already been labeled with Xu Chujing's tag.

Layers of relationships, inseparable, have forged a deep bond.

After the gala ended, she sent a WeChat message directly to Luo Mo.

"Wait for me in the car later."

Luo Mo looked at this WeChat message, his heart trembling.

On the other side, the official Weibo account of Luo Mo Studio posted a Weibo after the National Day Gala ended.

The studio had been biding its time, waiting for the boss's limelight to finish and the gala to end before releasing new news, so as not to intercept the traffic halfway.

At the same time, the studio knew that the heat of the gala could not be snatched; even if there was a big event to announce, they had to time it precisely.

These were all things Luo Mo had instructed in advance; he had always advocated for high-profile work and low-profile living.

After all, in terms of his career, he had the civilization of an entire era backing him—how could he be low-profile?

Tonight, it was the night of the National Day, and Luo Mo had sung "Loyal Patriot," which just happened to bring everyone's emotions to a Peak Value.

Therefore, the studio only posted one image, accompanied by one sentence, and it immediately exploded on Weibo.

"That Year Those Rabbits Season 2, starting now......."

(PS: Third update, ten thousand words updated, asking for double monthly tickets!

There will be a thank-you post later, and then I will announce the VIP group for this book.)
