Chapter 373: Wind, a Great Wind!

Huang Lun joining made Luo Mo feel more confident.

To say nothing else, when promoting a film, as long as the promotional methods are appropriate and the promotional effects are on point, then the box office appeal will be terrifying!

Just like how many people on Earth once shouted that they "owed Master Xing a movie ticket," Huang Lun has accompanied countless people as they grew up, and he can achieve a similar effect.

At the same time, the help that such an Animation master can provide goes without saying. This is a person who was able to tinker together a masterpiece even in that era when there was nothing and everything was destitute.

Luo Mo asked one last question over the phone: "I'm actually very curious, what exactly moved Elder Huang?"

"Teacher said that the core of all your stories is very good," He Yuanguang said. "The sentence Teacher likes the most is: The Great Sage will not die."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo smiled.

Many people watch this movie because of nostalgia.

So he felt that the production team should also be filled with nostalgia.

It's quite good, isn't it?

Time arrived at Friday. Due to weather issues, the Film and Television Base was going to have a torrential downpour and a major Typhoon, so the *Nirvana in Fire* crew simply took a three-day break and suspended filming.

Luo Mo felt that he should also take a rest; he was struggling to hold on.

At the same time, it was also time for him to return to Shanghai.

Whether it was the studio or Xinyu, there were still some matters that needed him to make the final decision.

On the way back to Shanghai, Xu Chujing and Luo Mo rode in the same car.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" she asked with concern.

Luo Mo looked slightly fatigued, and his complexion was not particularly good.

"No need, I'll just use a hot compress eye mask in a moment," he said with a smile. "With my physique, if I nap for fifteen minutes, I'll be full of vigor again immediately."

Xu Chujing couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; she just opened her bag, took out an eye mask, and tossed it to him.

Luo Mo put on the eye mask, adjusted the seat back downward, lay half-reclined with his eyes closed, and said, "By the way, do you know Xue Ning and Tian Ming?"

Xu Chujing looked at him in surprise and said, "Xue Ning and Tian Ming? You mean the Fengge Group?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's them."

"Not familiar, but I've seen them twice backstage at the Spring Festival Gala and chatted a few times," she added. "By the way, didn't Xue Ning and Li Junyi both participate in *Masked Singer*? Didn't Tian Ming even come to help sing on the stage during the grand finale?"

"That's right. I only met them that night. But Junyi and Xue Ning have a very good relationship; you could say he recognized her as an older sister. Through this back and forth, he gradually became familiar with her old partner, Tian Ming, as well," Luo Mo said.

"Recognized an older sister?" Xu Chujing took a deep look at Luo Mo, who was lying half-reclined with his eyes closed, and said, "The people in your studio are all quite fond of recognizing older sisters, aren't they? What is this, your corporate culture?"

"Hey! You're speaking with hidden meaning!" Luo Mo laughed.

There were indeed quite a few older-sister types around him, such as Run Jie, Tao Jie, and this Jing of his.

"It seems someone has applied the description to themselves," Xu Chujing said.

Luo Mo gave a dry laugh and steered the topic back to business, saying, "I brought up Xue Ning and Tian Ming because they have the intention of signing with my studio."

"Is that so?" Xu Chujing said. "For them, it is indeed a very good choice."

The Fengge Group, composed of Xue Ning and Tian Ming, came out of a singing competition on CCTV. They are frequently active in CCTV programs and are the group that has participated in large-scale galas in the country the most, bar none.

Their group has already been established for ten years, and they have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala 5 times alone!

At the same time, both of them have also spent some time in the Art Troupe.

Netizens generally refer to this type of person as the "National Team" of the music scene.

From the moment they debuted, the Fengge Group has always been quite popular with the middle-aged and elderly, but their songs have low popularity and their style is relatively old, so young listeners don't like them and think they are uncool.

In this regard, they are very different from a certain well-known group on Earth that is known as the overlord of square dancing. Although that group was also constantly laughed at, mocked, and called uncool in previous years, their songs actually have very high popularity, and they are of that extremely typical style with great singability, and their ability to leave a memory point is also terrifyingly strong.

Xu Chujing personally doesn't like the songs of the 【Fengge Group】 very much.

But she still highly recognizes their singing skills and strength.

The National Team is no joke.

At the same time, although these two are not a married couple and have never dated, they are ten-year partners, and their sense of tacit understanding is simply invincible.

Perhaps, through the clever hands of Luo Mo, a genius of lyrics and composition, they could achieve a complete transformation?

Therefore, that is why she said that for the Fengge Group, choosing Luo Mo Studio is an excellent choice.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo didn't say much more.

He just said to Xu Chujing, "Reporting to you, they will come to the studio tomorrow, and I will meet with them."

"Still reporting, what is there to report to me," Xu Chujing said. "You came back specifically to meet them; I suppose you have some ideas about them?"

"To be precise, I am very tempted," Luo Mo laughed.

"You think highly of them?" Xu Chujing felt slightly surprised.

"I think incomparably highly of them," Luo Mo said.

He pulled off the hot-compressed eye mask, pressed lightly on his eye area a few times, and said, "Perhaps, it can stir up a great wind that blows across the whole country."

Xu Chujing felt that she didn't quite understand: "A great wind? What kind of wind?"

Luo Mo smiled and did not answer.

The next day, the Fengge Group arrived at Luo Mo Studio half an hour early.

Li Junyi also rushed over to keep them company.

"Sister Ning, Brother Ming, please sit down first. Brother Mo is on his way and will be here in about ten minutes," Li Junyi greeted everyone with a smile.

"Mm, okay." Xue Ning and Tian Ming looked around at the environment of Luo Mo Studio, feeling a bit curious and also somewhat reserved.

To be precise, they were actually quite nervous.

As fellow Singers in *Masked Singer*, they had heard that after the diva Chun Xiao's contract expired, she tried every possible way to get close to Luo Mo and pulled strings all over the industry, all for the sake of signing under Luo Mo Studio.

The final result was naturally that she was rejected.

Luo Mo was very clear about Chun Xiao's wishful thinking; to be precise, she just wanted to manipulate Luo Mo's psychology as a man.

"She used to be one of Pineapple's Wang Shisong's people, after all."

"By signing me, don't you feel a sense of conquest and satisfaction?"

"At the same time, don't you think it's a great way to slap her in the face?"

"The more you promote me, the louder that slap will be, won't it?"

It is a pity, however, that Luo Mo has absolutely no such thoughts.

He feels that Tao Jie is very obedient, knows the rules, and never causes trouble; she is much better than Chun Xiao.

The final result was that Chun Xiao signed with Cilong.

As for Xue Ning and Tian Ming, they believe their Singing ability is no worse than Chun Xiao's, but as everyone knows, they don't possess much commercial value.

These days, everyone follows the path of commercialization.

It's all about making money!

Xue Ning and Tian Ming themselves believe their style is "earthy" and feel their potential for commercial development is low.

The reason they came today is actually just to test the waters.

Nowadays, at least half of the people whose Contracts are expiring in the industry will have designs on Luo Mo Studio.

Especially female Singers.

After all, Tao Jie is from Xinyu, and Luo Mo Studio is like a Hall of Arhats—there isn't even a woman there.

At most, Tong Shu can occasionally be used as a female Singer.

One must know that for some Singers looking to make a breakthrough, the appeal of a MusicGodfather-level figure is too great!

The two members of Fengge Group had discussed this on the way here, and they unanimously agreed: "Even if Luo Mo doesn't think much of us, chatting with him and asking for his advice will definitely be beneficial."

Simply put, making this trip is Not Losing.

With Li Junyi here to accompany us, surely Luo Mo wouldn't be like the Music Directors of other big companies and ruthlessly mock us, right?

Just then, Li Junyi suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Mo."

The studio's glass door opened at this moment, and Luo Mo, dressed in casual clothes, walked in with long strides.

Tian Ming and Xue Ning stopped sitting as well and stood up to greet him.

"Long time no see." A smile appeared on Luo Mo's face.

This made the two feel a little less nervous; although they had only met once during the finals of Masked Singer and were his defeated opponents, his willingness to say "long time no see" meant he regarded them as old acquaintances.

"Let's go, let's chat in my office," Luo Mo said.

The two nodded and followed behind Luo Mo.

Although this young man before them was many years their junior, he carried an aura of being in control of everything. It made people naturally follow his opinions and ideas to do things.

"Brother Mo, then I..." Li Junyi asked.

"You go busy yourself first," Luo Mo said, starting to shoo him away.

"Oh, okay." Li Junyi nodded, then gave Xue Ning and Tian Ming an encouraging look.

After bringing them into the office, Luo Mo took a few cold drinks from the refrigerator and placed them on the table.

He opened a bottle of iced cola for himself, gulped down half the bottle in one go, and then said, "Our studio's Contracts are not tiered, and the revenue split is relatively low. Have you two looked into that?"

Xue Ning and Tian Ming exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected Luo Mo to get straight to the point, and then they both nodded.

Luo Mo looked at the two, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

How should he put it? They have too many similarities with the group Phoenix Legend.

On Earth, some people evaluated Phoenix Legend like this: "A male-female duo that has been active for nearly 20 years. No scandals, no manufactured shipping, no breaking up to go solo. Both parties have their own families and lives, and they appear in the eyes of the Masses basically only for music. Their works are grand, they aren't pretentious or overly sentimental, and their professional ability is formidable. They are capable in every aspect and loved by all age groups. This, perhaps, is what a Singer should look like."

The Fengge Group before him is also the type that doesn't have any messy antics and is relatively easy to manage.

For Luo Mo Studio, such people are indeed much better than Chun Xiao.

These days, once a celebrity's reputation collapses, all previous efforts go to waste!

As for the "earthy" label, it has indeed followed Phoenix Legend for a long time.

In fact, these two could be called the representatives of the "earthy-hype" world.

But in recent years, many people's views on them have actually shifted significantly.

In reality, some things are quite interesting.

In daily life: "I'm dying of laughter, you're actually listening to Phoenix Legend!?"

At KTV: "Everyone join in! Sing with me! The vast horizon is my love!"

Even men will touch the pectoral muscles or flab of the man next to them and sing a line: "My lady~ Aha!"
