Chapter 45: Second Public Performance Setlist
"Snap—"
Luo Mo's large hand slapped onto Tong Shu's back.
In the past, Tong Shu would have been stunned by the slap, but now he had been trained into Luo Mo's shape, so he was used to it.
Luo Mo knew very well that Shen Mingliu proposing this dishwashing bet was nothing more than him still remembering that sentence he had said to him, as well as everyone's new and old grudges.
Regarding this, he was quite indifferent, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But our team only has 6 people, and you have 10; this dishwashing workload is not the same."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up, and like a devil, he spoke of his incomparably huge ambition.
"So, if we win, we also want yogurt!"
The corners of Shen Mingliu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Fine."
In his view, betting on yogurt was meaningless, but the matter of washing dishes concerned dignity and Face, so the nature of it was completely different.
Who the hell cares about yogurt!
Moreover, Luo Mo's words actually reminded him of one thing.
That was that his team had ten people, while Luo Mo only had six.
These ten people were all popular contestants, so their ability to solicit votes would definitely be stronger.
Whichever trainee the audience liked, they would naturally vote for that trainee.
Many times, what was being compared was not necessarily the performance on stage, but popularity!
Looking at Luo Mo's side, because "Big Fish" had not yet aired, Tong Shu's popularity was still very low, which was equivalent to one god carrying five burdens.
"This is an unfair duel. I'm sorry, but you'll have to learn how to wash dishes yourself," Shen Mingliu said in his heart.
………
………
For the stage performances of the previous few groups, Luo Mo still watched a bit absent-mindedly.
However, he did watch the fourth team's Singing and Dancing stage very seriously.
Among this group of trainees, there was not a single top-tier contestant, but they danced very in sync, especially in sync.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of stage would not dare to perform a synchronized dance.
Idol groups are smart and will hide their shortcomings and play to their strengths.
If you are good at Singing, you dance less; if you are good at Dancing, you sing less.
Synchronized dancing has higher requirements; you have to dance very in sync to blow up the venue, otherwise, it will look very uncomfortable.
It was obvious that this group of people had gone all out, probably practicing like crazy.
This made Luo Mo think of the time before he debuted on Earth.
It's just that, sometimes, hard work doesn't necessarily get rewarded.
After all, the trash cans of many big companies are filled with something called dreams.
The final result was that the audience feedback was very good, and the applause was like thunder.
In the waiting room, Luo Mo also watched the screen and clapped hard for them.
People with dreams are all amazing.
The next few teams also performed okay; at least they all had highlights.
I have to say, Director Ning Dan's high-standard selection mode was still effective.
Unlike some variety shows, which are all full of people with connections, dancing like they are being possessed by spirits, and singing in a way that makes million-dollar tuners work overtime.
Finally, it was the turn of Luo Mo's Anonymous Team to go on stage.
They left the waiting room early and went to the preparation area to put on their performance coats.
As for the stage, it also began to be set up.
A semi-transparent curtain was hung up, just enough to block a person's figure.
When the lights came on, the Anonymous Team had already taken the stage and stood in their designated positions.
Luo Mo stood behind the curtain, making it impossible for people to see his appearance clearly.
Among the one thousand audience members at the scene, many were holding light boards with names like Shen Mingliu and Ji Kangdong written on them.
Among them, there were no light boards for Luo Mo.
For the 【Mo Sheng Ren】, such a budget would be over the limit!
One light board requires many people to crowdfund to afford.
The stage was very dark, and one could only vaguely see people getting on stage.
Someone at the scene started shouting again: "Luo Mo! Work overtime!"
But after shouting a few times, seeing that the performance was about to begin, these Mo Sheng Ren all shut up, fearing it would affect the upcoming performance.
Xu Chujing watched the stage with some anticipation in her heart.
For this public performance, she was the one who set the topic, and the theme was the word 【Righteousness】.
She was very curious about what kind of Righteousness the song Luo Mo was about to bring would embody.
As for Wei Ran and the others, their appetites had long been whetted, and they were all looking forward to Luo Mo's performance.
Jiang Ningxi had received a promise from Luo Mo and knew that he would continue to incorporate Opera Elements this time, but she didn't know exactly what he was going to sing.
The big screen on the stage lit up at this moment, playing a piece of Shadow Puppetry.
Although the historical Trajectory of this world was slightly different from Earth, some places were surprisingly consistent.
Especially the modern history of this country.
Looking at the Shadow Puppetry, everyone could roughly understand what it was talking about.
Fierce foreign invaders invaded, and after breaking through a city, they held guns and demanded that someone go on stage to perform an Opera for them.
That person waved his hand to refuse, and the shadow puppet on the screen retreated, his stance very firm.
Even if it means death, I will not perform for you!
Immediately after, the invaders surrounded some people who had knelt on the ground, then pointed their bayonets at them.
The audience watched this scene and could probably understand the meaning; this was using the lives of the people in the city as a threat!
This made many of the more emotional audience members at the scene extremely angry.
Opera is designated as a national treasure in this world.
The invaders burned, killed, looted, and raped, yet still demanded that performers of the national treasure go on stage to perform; what kind of insult is this?
On the mentor's podium, Xu Chujing watched this scene and frowned slightly.
She wondered if Luo Mo had read the script for "Cat Demon"?
It was just that in the script for "Cat Demon," it was not an opera troupe, but a circus troupe.
At the beginning, the protagonist, as a half-demon, possessed the ability to communicate with small animals, which made the circus troupe famous.
However, as a half-demon, the protagonist's inner demon power was still dormant, and apart from being able to communicate with animals, they did not possess any other abilities.
And the bloodline was triggered precisely because they saw with their own eyes that the people in the circus troupe were all killed after being forced to perform.
The sister who treated them like a real sister even died right in front of them.
The other party wanted to abduct these animals suspected of being psychic and take them to the villain, so that these animals would turn into demons and then be taken for their own use.
The opening of the movie immediately stirred up hatred, and the main plot of revenge became very clear.
At this very moment, the Shadow Puppetry on the big screen was still continuing, and the prelude to the song began to play directly.
The sounds of various traditional Chinese Yueqi echoed on the stage.
Wei Ran listened carefully and said softly to Li Ge, "There is an erhu and a flute."
Every song Luo Mo brought had a prelude that carried its own emotional rendering, which is to say, it would set the tone for the entire song.
Wei Ran felt this point was very good.
And on the big screen, that shadow puppet dressed as an opera actor, after being threatened by the invaders, had no choice but to nod.
A few large characters appeared on the screen:
"【A whore has no feelings, an opera actor has no Righteousness?】"
"【Not so, not so!】"
Seeing this, many people realized that the song Luo Mo was about to bring was singing about exactly what kind of 【Righteousness】 it was.
Whether it was the five celebrity mentors or the competing trainees, all felt extremely surprised.
Many people thought he was daring, and many admired his courage.
Because this entry point was too big!
So big that ordinary people would not dare to create a song with such a theme at all.
The 【Righteousness】 he chose, if there were no surprises, was 【Great Righteousness of the Nation】!
The screen went dark at this moment, and then two large characters appeared.
——"Red Actor".
……
(PS: I took a look at the previous chapters, and quite a few readers have dubbed "Gentle" and "Big Fish"; they all sang wonderfully. Those interested can go back and listen. Also, looking forward to the dubbing of "Red Actor"!)
