Chapter 543: The Youth of China

Standing on the stage, Luo Mo could see the astonishment of the audience at the gala.

He was also very clear that these people were surprised by his current appearance.

But this would not affect his state of mind, nor the performance that followed.

A professional Singer, since he had already stood on the stage, then he only needed to do one thing—sing the song well.

At this moment, the barrage in the Live Broadcast was terrifyingly dense, and the ratings and online data were skyrocketing.

Many people were calling their friends: "Hurry and watch the gala, Luo Mo has completely changed!"

Yet, a Weibo post with only a dozen or so comments had Air Dropped to the eighth spot on the Weibo Hot Search list.

Undoubtedly, this Hot Search... was bought with money.

It appeared too silently.

This was a Weibo post sent by a marketing account, a marketing account that primarily dealt in gossip news within the entertainment industry.

The content roughly stated that for the needs of his role in the new movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", Luo Mo had lost weight drastically, to the point of looking gaunt.

Once this Weibo post hit the Hot Search list, it immediately attracted countless onlookers.

"Ah! He actually lost so much weight for a role!"

"The handsome guy isn't as handsome as before, but this is what an Actor should look like!"

"It's heart-wrenching to look at, I hope he recovers soon!"

"How can we make those traffic-driven young stars see this Weibo post?"

"This is the professionalism an Actor should have!"

The number of comments and likes under the Weibo post began to skyrocket.

As for the initial voices of doubt, they were also drowned in the ocean.

"It hit the Hot Search with so few comments and likes, it must be bought, right?"

These comments were only visible at the beginning, and were soon buried.

Yes, this Hot Search was indeed bought.

It was Ning Dan who spent the money to get it on the Hot Search list.

She knew that after Luo Mo made a public appearance, it would cause some trouble.

Then it was better to... strike first!

In some aspects, Run Jie was still quite sensitive and acted decisively.

………

………

Shencheng, a certain high-end private club.

Wang Shisong, the boss of Pineapple, was enjoying an essential oil back massage service.

The technician's fair and slender fingers were pressing on his back, occasionally her body would sink slightly, and then she would blow gently into Shi Song's ear.

Boss Wang's large hands were not well-behaved either; they had already touched the calf of the female technician wearing black silk stockings, feeling the smoothness of the stockings.

Just at this moment, his phone rang.

"Ding-dong!"

Boss Wang ignored it; it was just a WeChat notification sound, it would be fine to look at it later.

Some men want to remain out of contact when they are doing certain things.

However, the woman can have someone contact her, even just answering a call is fine.

But the phone was disobedient and just had to ruin his mood.

"Ding-dong!"

The notification sounds kept coming; undoubtedly, someone had sent him over a dozen messages in one breath.

This might be something urgent.

Boss Wang lay there, raised his hand to pat the rounded buttocks wrapped in the woman's skirt, and said, "Bring me my phone."

Opening the phone, he saw a pile of WeChat messages sent to him by his subordinates, mostly consisting of pictures.

They were pictures of Luo Mo standing on the Youth Day stage, which were screenshots.

"This is Luo Mo!?" Wang Shisong was a bit incredulous.

"How did he get this thin?"

It was very obvious that because of the drastic weight loss, the handsomeness of this big star had been greatly affected.

Wang Shisong was very happy to see this scene.

At the same time, his brain also began to become active.

"This is a good opportunity," he thought to himself.

"No need to press anymore," Wang Shisong said directly.

The technician felt relieved in her heart, thinking she had earned it, but her mouth still spoke affectionate words, looking as if she were reluctant to stop, in order to earn more tips.

This old thing, the process ends super fast, but he is super generous with his money!

……..

……..

Luo Mo knew nothing of the storms in the outside world.

Before the prelude of the song, several children walked onto the stage.

Many audience members recognized these children at a glance.

"Aren't these the children who saluted in "Dislocated Time and Space" earlier?"

This made everyone curious: what kind of arrangement would Luo Mo make for his own stage?

The song title emerged at this moment.

——"Young China".

A song written by Lyricist Er Shui, adapted from Liang Qichao's "Young China".

As for the composer, it is........

——Xu Song!

In terms of composing this type of song, Xu Song is relatively experienced.

Besides this song, he has similar works, such as "Last Night's Book", adapted from the work of Yue Fei.

Yue Shen looked at the title of this song and was slightly stunned.

"'Young China'?" She was dumbfounded.

This is a grand title!

In this day and age, how many pop Singers dare to put the word "China" in a song title?

The pressure is immense!

If the lyrics turn out like a pile of crap, wouldn't one be cursed to death?

In reality, for such songs, the Requirement for the lyrics during the review process is indeed much stricter.

However, once she thought about how this person was Luo Mo, she seemed to feel relieved.

It's not like he hasn't written works with a grand vision before.

One can only say that among the younger generation of creators, he stands out too far above the rest.

"I must see what will be written in the lyrics for such a grand song title!" Yue Shen began to look forward to it immensely.

After the children stood in position on the stage, the singing began to spread, with them performing first.

Every time these children sang a line, a powerful, resonant drumbeat would ring out.

"【If the youth are wise, the country is wise,

If the youth are wealthy, the country is wealthy,

If the youth are strong, the country is strong,

If the youth are free, the country is free.】"

As soon as these four lines of lyrics came out, Yue Shen suddenly got goosebumps!

I wonder if everyone still remembers the emotions they felt when they first saw "Young China"?

A mere four lines of lyrics instantly crushed the works of the traffic stars from before, and not even a scrap was left.

"These lyrics are incredible!"

"Too incredible!"

"Whether it's the concept, the structure, or the vision!"

"And it's so perfect for tonight's gala!"

On stage, Luo Mo still held the microphone, yet to start Singing.

The children standing beside him repeated those four lines once more.

After each line they sang, they paused for a moment, and intense drumbeats would suddenly ring out several times.

However, when it was repeated for the second time, the sounds of Chinese classical Yueqi were layered in, no longer just Singing and drums as before.

Many young viewers watching the screen and listening to the song were already feeling their blood boil.

You must know, many people who can recite "Young China" backward feel impassioned when listening to the song.

So, how could the emotions of young people hearing these lines for the first time remain calm!?

This is the greatest trump card of this year's gala!

At this very moment, the gaunt Luo Mo picked up the microphone.

The camera gave him a close-up of his face.

Yes, his face was sunken, his cheekbones protruded, and he had become so thin he looked unrecognizable.

Yet his entire spirit seemed no different from before.

His eyes were still sharp, and his Singing remained incredibly steady.

As the song echoed, many viewers in the audience with special identities felt their spirits lifted.

"【The red sun rises, its path full of light,

The river flows from hidden springs, pouring into the vast ocean,

The hidden dragon leaps from the abyss, its scales and claws flying,

The young tiger roars in the valley, all beasts tremble in fear】"

Among the viewers watching the Live Broadcast, there were a large number of lyricists and composers.

Industry lyricists and composers regard Luo Mo, this creative genius, as a god-like figure, and many would study his lyrics and compositions at the first opportunity.

At this moment, as the lyricists listened to the song and looked at the lyrics, they only felt numb.

"Is this the kind of lyrics someone in our industry can write!?"

"Is this the kind of lyrics that would appear in the contemporary pop music scene!?"

A group of lyricists who prided themselves on being intellectuals were completely stunned.

Isn't this far better than those that pile up flowery language but fail to convey the meaning?

To them, although Luo Mo's appearance had changed and he had become much thinner, deep down he was still that same Luo Mo, the Luo Mo who could make everyone feel ashamed of their own creative abilities!

In the center of the stage, Luo Mo held the microphone in his right hand and then raised his left arm.

The chorus of the song was about to arrive!

"【The youth have their own youthful wildness, their bodies like mountains and rivers, standing with a backbone,

Daring to measure the sun and moon once more, today I am the only youth,

Daring to ask heaven and earth to test my edge, who can block me as I hack through thorns?

The world laughs at me, yet I remain strong,

——Living up to my youth!】」

For the entire chorus section, starting from the first sentence, the pitch was raised by several levels.

More importantly, he had to sing out that momentum.

Luo Mo's thin and frail body seemed capable of radiating infinite energy at this moment!

Many audience members, while listening to this song, couldn't help but turn the volume up a bit, amplifying the sound of the song.

It had to be loud to feel more impactful.

These lyrics, paired with Luo Mo's masterful singing and that momentum, made countless young audience members feel their blood boiling and their heads heating up.

This was, after all, a song written for the youth.

Many people's focus at this moment was no longer on his appearance; they were completely captivated by this song.

A person's charm is one thing in terms of looks, but another in terms of their actions.

For example, at a school evening party, if a girl goes up to dance, you might suddenly feel that this person is prettier and more attractive.

By the same token, a singer's stage is the same; this is why talented singers can always gain fans on stage.

The gaunt Luo Mo did indeed have his looks compromised.

But so what?

Then use seven-tenths of the appearance to sing with ten-tenths of handsomeness!

The A-section of the song ended, and the children once again sang in unison, repeating the four classic sentences from before: "【If the youth are wise, then the country is wise...】"

Many lyricists thought that with such an Ox-like lyric, the B-section would directly repeat the A-section.

But who would have thought that as soon as Luo Mo opened his mouth, the lyrics for the B-section were completely different from the A-section.

"Too extravagant! These lyrics are too extravagant!"

"This damn overflowing talent!"

"How was this created!?"

One could see this young man, whose shoulders and back looked much thinner when viewed from the side, holding the microphone and singing:

"【Even with a thousand years of history and eight wildernesses,

The future is like the sea, and the days ahead are long.】"

The Burning intensity of the B-section lyrics was no less than the A-section!

Most importantly, it also had a very strong motivational effect.

The big screen suddenly lit up at this moment, and many people felt the words on the screen looked familiar.

Many Mo-born fans recognized it at a glance: "Ah! This is the passage that appeared on the stage of 'Chasing Dreams Red Heart'!"

It was written on the screen:

"【I hope the youth of China will all cast off cold air and just move upward, without needing to listen to the words of those who abandon themselves.

Those who can do things should do them; those who can speak out should speak out. If you have a bit of heat, emit a bit of light. Even like a firefly, you can emit a little light in the darkness without waiting for a torch.

If there is no torch thereafter: I shall be the only light.】"

These are sentences from Xun Ge'er's "Hot Wind".

Such an Ox-like passage, I really couldn't bear to use it only once.

Especially when paired with "China Youth Talk" and the special day of Youth Day!

After Luo Mo repeated the chorus climax once, he entered the closing section where the chorus is repeated multiple times.

But the lyrics actually had slight changes again, still carrying an extremely 【extravagant】 creative attribute.

The changes in the lyrics pushed the emotions of all the listeners up another level.

At the same time, the lyrics here were truly a perfect match for the words on the big screen!

"【Youth naturally have the wildness of youth, hearts like the scorching sun with ten thousand zhang of light,

A thousand difficulties and ten thousand blocks, I will go and charge, today I am the only youth,

The sky is high and the sea is wide for ten thousand miles, the spirit of Huaxia youth rises,

Striving to become a pillar of the nation,

——Living up to my youth!】"

In this section, there were many harmonies added, the childish voices of the children were also integrated, and the accompaniment became increasingly impassioned.

Although the Youth Day of Blue Star and the Youth Day on Earth are not on the same day, they are both in May.

Which is to say, it was already approaching the college entrance examination.

Many high school seniors listening to this "China Youth Talk" felt their blood surging and their spirits impassioned; their entire fighting spirit seemed to be ignited in an instant.

After being ignited, it was Burning even more fiercely, growing stronger and stronger!

"After listening to this song, don't you have to get up and do two sets of test papers!?"
