Chapter 645: The Release of

The appearance of Opera Singing gave many viewers watching the Spring Festival Gala goosebumps all over.

It is not easy to truly sing Bel Canto well.

But many people just hum a few lines blindly, as if making their voice sound a bit thicker is enough.

Quite a few listeners originally wanted to learn the Bel Canto technique and follow along with a line!

But who would have thought that this person would get addicted to showing off his skills on the Spring Festival Gala stage!

The switch to Opera Singing was very sudden, and also very stunning.

At the same time, it made the oriental charm in the entire song become even richer!

Besides that, it also made the layering of the entire song stronger, turning it into four layers.

RNB style, Bel Canto, Rap, and Opera!

It seems very cluttered, yet it is surprisingly methodical.

On the stage, Luo Mo began to bring the song to its final conclusion.

"【Using a lifetime to wait.】"

Once this line was sung, the entire performance was declared finished.

The Live Broadcast bullet comments came flooding in.

"This man is incredible!"

"My grandma just said it sounds good!"

"This is lethal, after winning over the mom-fans, he's winning over the grandma-fans?"

"It sounds really good, and it feels very classic!"

"No words, just 'holy shit'."

"Should I follow the procedure, or just say 'holy shit' directly?"

Beijing, inside a Siheyuan.

Tong Qinglin watched his disciple on the television, his old heart filled with comfort.

Ever since Opera declined, Tong Qinglin, as the Vice Chairman of the China Opera Association, a former famous performer, and a titan in the industry, had begun a semi-retired life, dedicating himself to the promotion and Inheritance of Opera.

The old man had made many efforts and also spent a lot of his own money.

Everyone in the industry knew clearly that if one wanted sponsorship, they could try looking for Old Tong.

But as for the results, one could only say they were minimal.

For this reason, Tong Qinglin had been incomparably distressed in previous years.

But now it was different.

"At least I have taught an excellent Closing Disciple!" he said in his heart.

One knows one's own body. Tong Qinglin also did not know how many years he had left to live.

Being this old, he actually thought about it quite openly.

Watching Luo Mo on the television, he had a feeling of having no regrets in this life.

Even if he really left one day, he felt that there would not be any regrets in his heart.

"When the time comes, after I go below, meet my master, meet my senior brothers and sisters, and meet the grandmaster, I will be able to stand tall and tell them that I, Tong Qinglin, have lived a life worthy of the Inheritance of Opera."

………

At the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Wei watched the continuously rising ratings and online data, a look of relief appearing on his face.

"Judging from all the data, Luo Mo's stage is a cut above Chen Luo's!"

Regarding this, as the General Director of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Wei had his own perspective from the director's point of view.

"Chen Luo is not young anymore; what he worries about most now is being out of touch with the market, becoming outdated, and not being liked by the new generation of young people."

"Therefore, the ones he is most willing to cater to are those young people in their teens and twenties."

As the General Director of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Wei also had to categorize the programs; some programs were aimed at younger audiences and were more childlike, some were aimed at young people and were more trendy, and some were aimed at the middle-aged and elderly.

He categorized Chen Luo's stage as being aimed at young people.

"But Luo Mo is different."

"This stage of his should be a hit across all age groups!"

Zhang Wei was already 51 years old, and he thought it sounded very good.

The young people in the team, when watching the rehearsals, all thought it sounded very good too.

"Luo Mo didn't favor one over the other," he thought to himself.

This was also the part he felt was most impressive about this young man.

Clearly, what he brought out was something new, a new fusion that no one in the entire Huaxia music scene had ever attempted.

Yet, this new thing was still able to make the more conservative middle-aged and elderly people fall in love with it.

In this, one can see his skill!

In Zhang Wei's view: "In this showdown of stages, Chen Luo is Afraid of losing again."

Backstage, Chen Luo sat on the sofa, his expression grave.

His aesthetic and appreciative ability was absolutely top-tier in the music scene, otherwise there wouldn't be so many excellent works.

But precisely because of this, he knew better than the vast majority of people that this song by Luo Mo was also very powerful.

This kind of refreshing style also had quite an advantage in terms of stage performance.

Innovation is always one of everyone's greatest pursuits!

Chen Luo sat there without moving, for a full three or four minutes.

If this were a variety show, the post-production editor would have added a subtitle for him: Not a still image.

After a long while, a look of relief appeared on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had perhaps only ever been a front-runner of an era.

Luo Mo was different; he had too many new things.

He was the founder of a new era.

"My skills are inferior, so there's nothing to be unconvinced about," Chen Luo said with a smile.

"The only thing that's a pity is..."

"I actually really wanted to ask him for a song."

After returning to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, Luo Mo headed straight for Jing's dressing room.

He had no intention of leaving Jing alone here after the performance ended and going home by himself.

As he walked into the dressing room, he saw Xu Chujing holding her phone and scrolling through something.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Mo asked.

"Looking at the netizens' evaluations of 'Miles Away' and 'Romantic'," Xu Chujing said with a smile.

She still cared very much about the competition between Luo Mo and Chen Luo.

"It's just that, for now, you can't really tell anything," Xu Chujing said, putting down her phone.

Chen Luo's "Romantic" was also a good song, and the reviews across the entire internet were very good.

However, "very good" is just "very good"; what these two were competing for was "the best"!

Tomorrow, on the charts of the major music platforms, the winner and loser would be clear.

It was still a long time before Xu Chujing's performance, so the two sat in the dressing room and chatted.

The Heavenly Queen Xu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, my dad has reached out to some cinemas to have more promotional posters and character standees for 'Nezha' placed in the theaters."

"Is that so!" Luo Mo was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Xu Chong'an was in the hotel business and had opened a large number of hotels all over the country.

And some hotels were located near commercial districts, or simply inside shopping malls.

Many shopping malls had their own cinemas, just like the Wanda Plaza on Earth had its own Wanda Cinema.

If Xu Chong'an had someone reach out, he could still secure some resources.

In reality, the main reason Luo Mo felt a sense of joy in his heart was: "He is taking the initiative to help me."

This represented Jing's father's approval of him!

He said with a grin, "It's obvious that Uncle quite likes me."

Xu Chujing teased him using a reference from "The Hidden Corner": "How do you know he isn't afraid of you taking him hiking?"

"Hey! Zhang Dongsheng pushed his own father-in-law and mother-in-law; we two haven't even started dating yet, and from what you're implying, it's..." Luo Mo smiled without finishing his sentence.

Xu Chujing waved her hand as if shooing away a fly and said, "You're thinking quite beautifully!"

After saying that, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" Seeing Xu Chujing's serious expression, Luo Mo couldn't help but become serious as well.

"I took a liking to a movie script a few days ago," Xu Chujing said.

She didn't say much more, but Luo Mo could guess the concerns in her heart.

"Is that so?" Luo Mo said, "That's a good thing! I believe in your taste!"

Luo Mo knew very well that the Heavenly Queen Xu had her own pride; she was not the type of person who expected to rely on others for her whole life, not even on her own man.

Her ambition for her career was very strong, and this had never changed.

Although Luo Mo himself had now plunged into the film industry, acting as both screenwriter and director.

But these were two different matters.

She was not anyone's appendage; before she met Luo Mo, she was already an incomparably brilliant star.

Furthermore, Blue Star was not lacking in excellent movie scripts or excellent teams.

She could collaborate with Luo Mo and then achieve success together.

But when Luo Mo was busy himself, she could also do her own career well.

Xu Chujing was already more independent and had more of her own opinions and ideas than the vast majority of female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

These characteristics of hers were what had deeply attracted Luo Mo in the first place.

She was, after all, a big-sister-type Heavenly Queen.

Luo Mo could roughly guess what Xu Chujing was thinking in her heart.

She had stumbled a little in the film industry, and she wanted to climb back up and move forward on her own. It wasn't about letting Luo Mo help her up and then supporting her as she moved forward.

What she hoped for more was to move forward herself and then meet Luo Mo further ahead.

Luo Mo looked at her, smiled, and said, "Tell me roughly what the subject matter is?"

"Hypnosis theme," Xu Chujing said.

"Is that so? Isn't that the field Ye Mei specializes in?" Luo Mo said.

He immediately thought of the female Psychologist Ye Mei, whose service fees were ridiculously high.

At the same time, he remembered a movie called "Hypnotist".

For this type of movie, judging by conventional tropes, the ending would mostly have a big Reversal.

"Yes, so I'll probably have to ask her to be a consultant when the time comes," Xu Chujing looked at Luo Mo and added, "Don't worry, there's no romance in this movie."

"I understand, for the sake of realism. After all, you said that a top-tier Psychologist like Ye Mei has been single since birth," Luo Mo said with a smile.

In Beijing, a certain intellectual woman wearing Gold-rimmed Glasses, who was watching the Live Broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly felt her nose itch.

Time passed second by second, and it was finally Xu Chujing's turn to go on stage to perform.

At this moment, backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, there were not many stars left to be seen; most had already left early.

This year, the version of "Unforgettable Tonight" that Xu Chujing sang had small changes in the Arranger because the stage effects and stage art were very different from last year, but on the whole, it was still the original flavor.

However, during the Singing of this song, the bullet comments presented a polarized situation.

One group said: "A familiar taste!"

"Haha, is this continuing the classic?"

"I think this song is the most suitable closing song, bar none!"

Of course, there was also a group that said: "A bit disappointed."

Luo Mo actually didn't prepare a new song for Jing this year?

Although one doesn't usually listen to this song on ordinary days, and it does feel very special to listen to it on New Year's Eve, many people were still looking forward to a new song.

Luo Mo and Xu Chujing had already anticipated this point.

After all, this was only the second year that "Unforgettable Tonight" had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

Many things need time to slowly settle.

First year: This song is an Ox, the New Year flavor is so authentic!

Second year: Although it's good, why is it still this one? A bit disappointed.

Third year: Greatly disappointed, is there nothing new?

But if it were the fourth year, fifth year, sixth year...

Perhaps, these people who feel disappointed now will also shout many years later: "What kind of Spring Festival Gala is it without 'Unforgettable Tonight'!?"

And when a Singer is forever tied to the Spring Festival Gala... that is building a golden body!

………

………

The new year's Spring Festival Gala ended amidst mockery and praise.

A slightly exhausted Luo Mo and Xu Chujing parted ways in the parking lot, each taking a car home.

After arriving home, Luo Mo found that the lights in the house were still on.

Luo Ba and Luo Ma were getting old and couldn't stay up, so they had already returned to their room to rest.

But Luo Mo had long since received a WeChat message from his mother saying there were dumplings in the fridge, and if he was hungry when he got home, he could cook some himself.

Luo Mo opened the fridge, and just as he took out the dumplings, he saw the door open and Luo Ba walk out.

Luo Mo didn't know if he hadn't slept the whole time, or if he was sleeping too lightly and was woken up by the noise.

"I'll do it." Luo Ba didn't say much, took the dumplings, and walked into the kitchen to busy himself.

After the dumplings were ready, he yawned and returned to his room to sleep without saying a word.

Luo Mo dipped them in some vinegar and tasted a dumpling he hadn't eaten in a long time.

—It was piping hot and delicious.

………

………

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, many social platforms are very lively.

Joke writers are still racking their brains to write jokes about the Spring Festival Gala.

Many popular programs also climb onto the Hot Search.

Of course, the Spring Festival movie season is also often one of the main characters.

Watching movies during the New Year has long since become a routine activity for many people.

Nowadays, opening any platform, one can always see news related to Luo Mo.

The three new songs and "Unforgettable Tonight" were all objects of discussion among netizens.

Of course, there was also his ring match with Chen Luo, and the movie officially released today—"Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child"!

At this moment, if one were to open major music platforms, one could see "Far Away" sitting high at the top of the New Song Chart and the Rising Chart, firmly suppressing Chen Luo's "Romance" underneath.

Chen Luo had lost three times in three battles, which could be said to be very disgraceful.

Luo Mo's new album, "On the Road", could be said to be accumulating advantages continuously.

In the eyes of many musicians, Chen Luo's side was Afraid to be beyond saving.

"Sigh, the throne of the number one in the music scene is Afraid to change hands."

"In fact, before Luo Mo appeared, the music scene was already regressing. After he appeared, it actually gave people an illusion of prosperity."

"'The You of the Past', 'Rice Field Fragrance', 'Flower Sea', 'Far Away'—his album is indeed hard to beat."

"Cilong Entertainment must be feeling very uncomfortable; if even Chen Luo loses twice in a row, this combination of Xinyu and Luo Mo Studio will Afraid to dominate the music scene alone!"

Luo Mo is now defined by many musicians as the pioneer of a new era.

And the torrent of the era... cannot be stopped!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Mo got up early.

Today, his family didn't need to pay New Year calls; that wouldn't start until the second day, so after waking up early in the morning, he was busy cooperating with the promotional work for "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child".

For this Animation movie, Luo Mo was full of expectations and placed high hopes on it.

Other filmmakers would never dream that among the three movies participating in the 【Hundred Billion Box Office Plan】, Luo Mo would bet on an Animation movie!

By noon, Luo Mo noticed that a keyword had appeared on the Weibo Hot Search list, and it had reached the top of the Hot Search at an extremely fast speed, which showed how high the attention and discussion were.

This keyword was: 【Movie tickets for the Spring Festival season are so expensive】!
