Chapter 464: 《The Lonely Brave》

"Invisible Wings," the performance has already ended.

At the very moment the song's accompaniment faded out, the stage effects even formed a pair of silver-white wings.

The giant wings folded inward, enveloping Xu Chujing, before transforming into endless points of light.

The screen began to switch at this moment, cutting to the group of hosts at the Spring Festival Gala.

Many viewers watching the Spring Festival Gala Live Broadcast were still immersed in the previous singing.

Within the Live Broadcast channels of major video platforms, it is possible to check the 【Like】 data for every Spring Festival Gala program that has already aired.

Some data enthusiasts went to take a look, and sure enough, Xu Chujing currently ranked first among all singing programs, and the 【Like】 data was a full one-third higher than the second place!

At the Spring Festival Gala venue, there is a group of rather special audience members.

Among this group of people, quite a few also like this song very much.

One must know, "Invisible Wings" is a song with extremely high National Popularity.

Although some songs are popular, they are only popular within a certain age group.

But "Invisible Wings" is different; it is deeply loved by young people and those of Old Age.

Many people's parents and elders might all like this song very much.

And the fact that this song was able to move the president of Beida to tears on the spot back then, and even became a college entrance exam essay topic in Beijing one year, shows that there are also some special listeners who are fans of this song.

At the Spring Festival Gala venue, several elderly people clapped along with the audience.

He Ping'an was also among them.

An elderly man with graying hair, who nevertheless looked very spirited, said to He Ping'an, "Little He, this song is not bad."

He Ping'an was already of a certain age, yet being called Little He, and having heard the praise, he smiled like a child who had been complimented.

"It is quite good; it was sung well, and written well too." He Ping'an even deliberately mentioned the creation of this song.

After saying this, he added, "Luo Mo, who wrote this song, also has a program later."

"Oh? Then I shall look forward to it." The elderly man smiled.

……..

……..

At this time, backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.

Director Feng Ji looked at the real-time data, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Whether it was the ratings or the Live Broadcast data, during the time slot of the "Invisible Wings" performance, they were all soaring.

This shows that the public recognition of this song is extremely high.

Nowadays, the masses have very harsh Requirement for the Spring Festival Gala.

No matter how big a name you are as a Singer, if the song you sing is not good or uninteresting, everyone will still bash you.

In any case, after all the bashing, the Spring Festival Gala ends up taking the blame.

Because the limitations of the Spring Festival Gala are too strong.

Songs like this, which are positive, inspirational, and pleasant to listen to, are truly too rare.

Thinking of this, Feng Ji said to his assistant, "Go and see how things are prepared on Luo Mo's side."

"You got it, Director Feng." The assistant went immediately.

He knew very well in his heart that Feng Ji attached immense importance to the individual performances of Xu Chujing and Luo Mo.

On the way there, the assistant also reminisced a little.

He had been with Feng Ji for ten years already, and had been mixing in the entertainment industry for over a decade.

In his impression, this was the first time he had seen a star like Luo Mo rise to fame and grow at such a rocket-like speed.

"Which large-scale gala solo performance is this for him?" He couldn't even quite remember.

One must know, to perform a solo at a large-scale holiday gala is what a great honor that is.

How many years has he been debuted? How old is he?

"If it were other traffic stars, the fans would probably make a Poster of these honors, then go to various social platforms to control the comments, and crazily post these images to show off," the assistant thought.

At the same time, in his view, if Luo Mo really plunged into the film industry in the future, he would truly have no worries regarding Connections.

Among the Four Great Directors, Qian Qingyun and Feng Ji had both collaborated with him and both appreciated him very much.

Although the current trend in the film industry is that movies shot by up-and-coming directors have much more explosive box office results than those of the older generation.

However, resources and Connections are a different matter.

Many so-called up-and-coming directors, if you actually peel back the layers, you might find in the end that they are very likely the Disciple of these older generations!

The assistant soon found Luo Mo, and a makeup artist was doing his final touch-ups.

One has to say, the makeup artists for the Spring Festival Gala are still very skilled; just like on Earth, everyone's new "wife" this year, Spring Festival Gala host Ma Fanshu, had a look at the gala that appeared even more elegant than usual!

It's just that for a face like Luo Mo's, there wasn't much room left for the makeup artist to work with.

The assistant glanced at Luo Mo from afar; nearing the time to go on stage, this young man was still calm and composed, closing his eyes for a short rest to adjust his state.

This aura, as well as his seasoned demeanor, is relatively rare among stars of this age group.

"Almost forgot, he is both a studio boss and a Music Director, and also a screenwriter and director; he should have long been accustomed to the feeling of controlling the overall situation," the assistant thought.

He walked quickly to Luo Mo's side and asked a few questions in a low voice to show his concern.

Luo Mo looked at him and said, "I have no problems here; please trouble yourself to tell Director Feng to rest assured."

"You got it." The assistant nodded.

Just a moment ago, Luo Mo could still vaguely hear Xu Chujing's singing from backstage.

Honestly, he also didn't know if this song could possess the immense social influence it had on Earth.

But this requires the sedimentation of time.

Like becoming a college entrance exam essay topic, that is also a matter for the future.

In Luo Mo's view, as long as he could bring the audience a sense of spiritual strength today, that would already count as a tremendous success.

In summary—"My Queen is Truly Awesome."

The next program was a dance performance, followed by a comedy sketch on the theme of anti-fraud.

These days, the Comedy programs on the Spring Festival Gala are becoming less and less interesting.

The silly netizens are so talented; watching the silly things on the internet is much more joyful.

This puts a lot of pressure on many comedy actors.

Many comedy actors actually want to do that kind of pure humor, rather than forcing various values or tear-jerking points at the end.

But... they just can't be funnier than you bunch of silly people.

They can only rely on other means to deepen the audience's memory points.

This anti-fraud themed comedy sketch was indeed performed quite well.

One can only say that reality is always more bizarre than any work of fiction. The oddballs in life are sometimes beyond your imagination.

When the audience watched this comedy sketch, they felt these deceived people were so absurd. In reality, life might be even more exaggerated.

—"The acting can be considered restrained."

Amidst laughter and joy, the comedy sketch ended.

This comedy sketch could be considered a seed program among the Comedy category. Gathering these programs together was for the sake of boosting viewership ratings.

Next, Luo Mo was about to go on stage.

It was just that before he went on stage, the Spring Festival Gala hosts would engage in a round of interaction to stall for time.

They let the audience lower their previous joyful mood appropriately, and then, with a calm state of mind, listen to Luo Mo's new song.

Before walking into the stage passage, Luo Mo took a simple deep breath.

Singing this song, he actually still felt pressure.

Putting aside the original singer, just the excellent cover versions of this song alone were too many to count on one hand.

Moreover, among the cover versions, there were high-quality works from both male and female voices, each with its own style.

It is hard to imagine that a cover of a song could garner over ten million, or even over twenty million views on that little broken site Bilibili, and the comment count for a single video could reach as high as 30,000!

The original singer of this song is named Chen Yixun.

—【Song God】.

The stage passage opened, and after Luo Mo let out a breath, he began to walk forward with large strides.

The light on the stage was not bright; on the contrary, it had a very rich light and shadow effect.

In this regard, General Director Feng Ji is a master.

After Luo Mo found his standing position, in the camera lens, half of him was covered by bright light, while the other half appeared dim.

General Director Feng Ji looked at this scene and said, "It's fine, cut to the stage on time."

Once the Spring Festival Gala hosts finished their transition, the image would immediately cut to Luo Mo's stage.

He looked at this young man on the stage and couldn't help but recall a conversation he had with Luo Mo when they were finalizing the stage content earlier.

After confirming that this song would be paired with the content of 【Police】, Luo Mo gave a suggestion.

"Director Feng." He looked at Feng Ji.

"Every police officer has their own police badge number, and the badge numbers are all different. And when a police officer dies in the line of duty, their badge number will be sealed."

"But there is a situation where this sealed badge number will be... restarted!"

Feng Ji stopped reminiscing; seeing that the time had come, he began ordering people to switch the image.

After the image switched, many viewers watching the Live Broadcast were stunned.

It felt like a sudden change in style.

"Why is this stage so dark?"

"It doesn't look like a Spring Festival Gala stage at all!"

"I can barely see Luo Mo's face!"

"Speechless at the handsome guy; he's so handsome, why is the lighting so dark?"

Honestly, this was a Spring Festival Gala style that everyone had never seen before, and many people were a bit confused about what General Director Feng Ji was doing.

Although he loves to play with light and shadow in his movies, this is the Spring Festival Gala.

But soon, some viewers understood a little.

Because the big screen behind Luo Mo had already lit up, and the camera lens also began to sweep toward the screen.

The prelude of the song also resounded throughout the venue at this very moment.

At this time, Luo Mo faced the camera, but his body was covered by light and shadow, making it unclear. And the person on the big screen, although also hit by dim light, only left the audience with a Back Shadow, and one could vaguely tell that it was a police uniform.

"Every extra gram of drugs seized at the border is ten percent less harm suffered in the Mainland." The voice spread throughout the venue, accompanied by the slightly oppressive prelude of the song.

During the prelude, the images began to switch constantly.

You cannot see the faces of each of them, only their Back Shadow and the police uniform on their bodies.

—Those are anti-drug police!

The bullet comments began to surge instantly.

Luo Mo held the microphone, his singing voice came out, and combined with the images on the screen, the first sentence of his singing seemed to define the content of the stage.

"【They—are all brave.】"

The song title began to appear in front of all the viewers.

—《Lone Warrior》
