Chapter 660: Songs That Cannot Be Missing from the New Album

As soon as this Weibo post from Luo Mo was published, it immediately drew a crowd of onlookers among the masses.

"Okay, okay, Master of Humble-bragging!"

"The pretentiousness is off the charts!"

"I originally wanted to curse and ask who the hell this is, talking so pretentiously, but once I saw it's the number one box office hit in film history, sorry, my apologies."

"Luo Mo has won big again this time!"

As for what the industry insiders in the film circle actually think, Luo Mo does not care.

In fact, the topping of the charts by "Medicine God" last year and "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" this year is actually a good thing for the industry.

For realistic subject matter like "Medicine God" that reflects social issues, everyone's habitual thinking is: "This kind of subject matter is aimed at winning awards."

In terms of box office, no one thinks this kind of subject matter can make a Big Profit and Extra Big Profit.

Let alone animated films like "Nezha".

Before Luo Mo entered the film industry, most animated film projects couldn't even secure investment.

Animation professionals at the level of He Yuanguang would be toyed with by investors, required to sing nursery rhymes in public, only receiving funding if they sang well, and having to sing until the investors were satisfied.

These two films have both proven that Huaxia's film audiences are actually not that "picky"; everyone is willing to watch various subject matters and various types.

Huaxia's audience is perhaps the most inclusive audience in the world.

This has a certain connection to culture.

It's just that, although everyone isn't picky about the food, they are picky about the taste!

You have to make things taste good.

As long as you make it taste good, could my Great Empire of Foodies treat you poorly?

Luo Mo took some subject matters that you define as 【Niche】 and made them big and strong.

If this isn't a good thing, what is?

Look at you all again, each and every one of you trying hard to film so-called 【Masses】 subject matters, yet failing to produce a single good dish.

It would be one thing if you couldn't make a good dish, but some filmmakers, I really don't know what their intentions are; they don't even make a dish, they just want to force-feed shit to the audience.

It would be one thing to force-feed shit, but they are even puzzled, or even blame the audience: "Why aren't you eating?"

"Is it not tasty somewhere?"

In Luo Mo's view, the creation of film, television, and musical works must at the very least respect the audience.

Because the current cumulative box office of "Nezha" has become the number one in Huaxia film history, its popularity has surged once again.

With the Spring Festival completely over, the single-day box office has broken 100 million again.

Judging from the current situation, breaking 5 billion is inevitable.

That is to say, here on Blue Star, the box office of "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child", with the blessing of many factors, is likely to be slightly higher than on Earth!

This is something Luo Mo is happy to see.

Time passed quickly, and the first lunar month came to an end.

Having been released for a full month, "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" has reached a cumulative box office of 4.989 billion, and is about to lead Huaxia film into the grand era of 5 billion for a single film!

However, this film has been released for a month, and the box office is almost "saturated"; although the Review Department extended the 【Key】 for 30 days, the subsequent daily box office is fluctuating in the millions.

The weekend might be better, reaching around 10 million.

One after another, new films are being released in theaters, and cinema chains will also prioritize new films in terms of scheduling.

Overall, this year, the entire first lunar month almost belonged to "Nezha".

Even though it was freezing cold, the weather was chilly, yet it was made red-hot by this little fire-child.

Nowadays, the popularity that can be mined from the film has basically been mined clean.

On the internet, the combined wisdom of the silly netizens is far beyond that of Luo Mo and his studio team.

In this month, the netizens were full of tricks, drawing fan art, writing fan fiction, and filming transformation videos of the Nezha series on short video platforms.

Now, even the netizens are a bit out of tricks.

However, Luo Mo still has greater ambitions.

Therefore, he must do something.

"Since no new popularity can be mined from the film side."

"Then, let me, the director, do it."

If he himself gets popular a few more times, the popularity can also feed back into "Nezha".

"Let's release a few more new songs," Luo Mo thought.

Anyway, Chen Luo and the Magnetic Dragon side have long been impatient.

……..

……..

In Beijing, Director Tian Ou, who has completely integrated into the Beijing circle and become a core member, has recently adjusted his mindset.

"One must not belittle oneself." This is Director Tian Ou's recent realization.

Your "Nezha" and "Medicine God" by Luo Mo are indeed strong.

But my "Car King" series by Tian Ou—is not bad!

He is now only thinking about getting "Car King 3" done well and ensuring the early promotional work is in place.

A few days ago, he had a dinner with several big shots of the Beijing circle, and these big shots all indicated they would help out.

Sometimes Tian Ou even thinks that he should perhaps thank Luo Mo.

"If it weren't for him being ungrateful and refusing every olive branch thrown at him by every circle, these resources of the Beijing circle would likely not have fallen to me."

After all, Luo Mo is from Beijing, and the Beijing circle is the best choice for him.

But once he entered, Tian Ou, also a new-generation director, would definitely not be the top seed, and would certainly not be the one most valued.

However, that is just how the real world is.

There are some things that others may look down upon, yet you cannot do without.

Luo Mo does not have much interest in any of the circles on Blue Star.

But Tian Ou has no choice; he must integrate into them.

Luo Mo can afford not to care, but Director Tian cannot.

During this period, Tian Ou and the publicity team for Car King 3 have been enduring, waiting.

They are waiting for the hype surrounding Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child to die down.

The preliminary publicity work for Car King 3 should have been done long ago.

But the hype for that other project can be described as explosive; the publicity budget you spend at this moment likely cannot be maximized.

If you release a bunch of big scenes of street racing, netizens might still feel it isn't as burning or as cool as Nezha transforming.

That would be so awkward.

"Now is actually a very good time for publicity."

"The hype for the Spring Festival blockbusters has already faded."

"At the same time, the films taking over the schedule are also quite sluggish."

Director Tian and the publicity team for Car King 3 both believe that they can start to roll out the publicity work in full.

Things like the initial posters and the initial trailer can all be released.

And the promotional song can also be released!

As one of the hottest film series in Huaxia, the Car King series has been collaborating with increasingly big-name Singers for its film songs.

For the first installment, the one singing the film song was merely a traffic-driven idol.

For the second, it was several First-line Singers.

Now for the third, they have even invited a Heavenly King-level Singer—Zhao Xueqin!

You must know that when big-name Singers sing for a film, they also look at whether the film matches their own status.

Just like those web movies that only screen online, they naturally cannot invite proper big-name Singers for the most part.

To be able to invite Zhao Xueqin to sing the promotional song, Director Tian's mood can be described in one sentence.

"What is called 'face'? This is 'face'!"

Of course, a weirdo like Luo Mo cannot be compared to him.

We, on the other hand, have to go and invite others to sing.

On Luo Mo's side, there is a group of people holding number tags, begging Luo Mo to write a song for a movie so they can sing it.

The team for Car King 3 immediately coordinated with Zhao Xueqin's team at Pineapple.

Everyone discussed a time to release the song "Journey" and the trailer together next Monday.

In this way, the hype for these items can also drive traffic to each other.

Pineapple has no objections to this.

Everyone hit it off immediately and settled on Monday.

Time moved forward to Saturday.

The appearance of a piece of news, however, left Tian Ou and Pineapple dumbfounded.

Luo Mo Studio announced to the public that Luo Mo's new album, On the Road, will start next Monday, releasing one new song every day until all the songs on the album are released!

In an instant, this news ignited the anticipation of fans across the entire internet.

"Ahhh! After the New Year, he finally thought of releasing new songs!"

"Good fellow, I just love this way of releasing them all at once!"

"Some people release one a week; who are they looking down on? If I didn't know better, I'd think I couldn't afford the download!"

"Will there be Chinese Style? Will there be Chinese Style this time?"

Besides this, a netizen added: "Am I the only one who noticed that our Music Critic Master Zhao Xueqin is also releasing a new song on Monday?"

"And the one Heavenly King Zhao is singing is for Tian Ou's movie! Hahaha!"

"Enemies often cross paths!"

On the side of the Ordinary Heavenly King Zhao Xueqin, he was stunned.

"Why am I always the one getting hurt?"

What he found most unacceptable was that his song, "Journey," and the new song Luo Mo is releasing on Monday are somewhat similar in type!

You must know that Director Tian's series of works is called Car King.

Therefore, the songs are definitely related to street racing, journeys, and so on.

But on Luo Mo's side, the album is titled On the Road.

Although it is quite obvious that the so-called "road" in this album is not that limited and has various meanings.

However, since the album is already named this, there has to be a proper song related to the road, right?

And so, a song came into being.

To be precise, this song is indeed the ending theme of a well-known car-related movie on Earth.

This movie is called Touwenzi D.

For many people, this movie is also a part of their youth.

That year, the male lead Zhou Jielun was still very green and was still a shy, introverted boy.

That year, Brother Guanxi was also at the peak of his handsomeness and could not possibly be mistaken for Grandpa Benshan.

In the movie, an AE86 could be said to have stolen the show.

Even now, many people still use the term "Decisive Battle at Mount Akina."

In the film, everyone's exclamation of "The 86 is going up the mountain" can be said to be extremely satisfying.

But who could have imagined that even today, a dirty joke related to the movie is still widely circulated: "The 86 goes up the mountain, the Mercedes goes up a tree."

However, when the song Luo Mo is releasing on Monday first played in the movie, it was incredibly evocative.

This is a song that is still very popular to this day and is a favorite for many listeners.

It comes from the album "November's Chopin" by Zhou Jielun.

It is called "All the Way North."
