Chapter 745: Luo Mo's Solo Concert

Currently, the situation in the film industry gives one a sense of familiarity.

The music scene: I'm familiar with this!

It seems that every time Luo Mo enters a new industry, he is able to rise strongly and then quickly occupy half the territory.

The fact that he himself became Huaxia's first director with ten billion in box office revenue is, in itself, a terrifying thing.

Now, even Wang Rong, who helps him direct films, has a high probability of becoming the second Ten Billion Box Office Director; that is truly exaggerated!

Wang Rong is indeed very capable when it comes to acting in and directing comedies.

However, before getting a script from Luo Mo, his box office revenue would at most reach a billion or so.

Everyone knows clearly that Luo Mo deserves the credit for his current achievements!

What's more, for a director like Wang Rong, there is no such thing as being irreplaceable.

Like Tian Ou, he is someone who is relatively skilled at directing commercial films.

But their personal styles are not particularly distinct.

In commercial cinema, this is not necessarily considered a shortcoming.

Yet, once such a director achieves this level of success, it often makes people think: "If I have Luo Mo backing me, can I do it too?!"

In the music scene, Luo Mo possesses the ability to turn stones into gold, often able to turn decay into magic.

He really can make whoever he supports popular!

As it currently appears, in the film industry, I am afraid this sign will gradually emerge as well!

In the music scene, Luo Mo is already a MusicGodfather in name and in reality.

Looking at it now, he is very likely to also gather batch after batch of... in the film industry.

——Disciples!

Time moves forward to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

In these past few days, the screening rates for *Hello Mr. Billionaire* and *Let the Bullets Fly* have even seen a small increase.

Cinema chains are very practical; the attendance rates for these two films are ridiculously high, so of course, they must be given priority in scheduling.

To them, Luo Mo is already a bit like a sugar daddy.

Most of the time, it is the film production side that has to curry favor with the cinema chains to obtain more screenings.

Now, it is the cinema chains that want to beg Luo Mo to make more films.

——I will provide more screenings, you provide more films.

The popularity of these two films across the entire internet has remained consistently high.

So much so that some viewers who originally didn't intend to watch the films could no longer suppress their curiosity.

At this moment, a viewer with a rather special job bought a ticket and walked into the Cinema.

He is a web novel author whose pen name contains the character "Qing," and readers affectionately call him Sister Qing.

Readers of female-oriented novels love to call authors "Madam."

Readers on the male-oriented side, however, love to flip the author's gender, and there are all sorts of messy nicknames, like "Youyou," which doesn't sound very healthy.

Sister Qing originally didn't want to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Because for many people, the Spring Festival is a good time to rest, but for web novel authors who still have to update their novels and also have to visit relatives for the New Year, or have relatives come to visit, their working hours are even tighter.

During the holidays, many readers are bored and become unusually thirsty; no matter how much is updated, it never feels like enough, and it is impossible to satisfy them.

Sister Qing actually really wanted to watch *Hello Mr. Billionaire* and *Let the Bullets Fly*, but he really couldn't find the time.

Fortunately, he doesn't have many relatives, and the New Year visiting phase is almost over.

Unlike some families, where the visiting can last until the Lantern Festival—that is truly an Ox.

After finishing the novel update for the day in the afternoon, Sister Qing bought a ticket for *Hello Mr. Billionaire*.

He actually wanted to watch *Let the Bullets Fly* first, but he didn't manage to grab a ticket for a good seat.

Honestly, he is quite in need of relaxation right now and needs a Comedy to de-stress.

He previously had a novel that was quite popular, and he was only one step away from the throne of a Great God, but after finishing it, the performance of his new book was not ideal.

He felt he needed to change his brain and change his way of thinking.

But struggling to figure it out at home, he had absolutely no clue.

"It must be that the pressure is too high; let's go to the cinema and have a good laugh first!" Sister Qing thought to himself.

It is said that *Hello Mr. Billionaire* can make the audience laugh their heads off, laughing until they are searching for their heads on the floor.

Since the head is already off, doesn't that perfectly meet my Demand—to change my brain!

After sitting down in the Cinema, he watched the film with great anticipation.

And I have to say, it is fucking hilarious!

"This Liu Shixiong of Luo Mo's, Liu Gongming, really comes with his own sense of humor. I feel that for the same scene, no one else could act it out as funnily as he does!"

When he saw the line, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm a billionaire, I'm showing my cards," Sister Qing first burst into laughter, and then his train of thought was opened up a bit.

He felt that this trope was quite suitable for writing web novels.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger has always been one of the mainstream tropes in web novels.

The four words "I'm showing my cards" are actually quite the essence.

His thinking was quite sharp; on Earth, a small sub-genre of web novels called the "Showdown Genre" did indeed appear later.

After this plot appeared, Sister Qing's train of thought was gradually opened up.

"Films and web novels, although different, perhaps have some paths that lead to the same destination."

"How much of an Ox is Luo Mo? His script—perhaps I can also get some inspiration from the perspective of a web novel author?" he thought in his heart.

Since that was the case, he was no longer viewing *Hello Mr. Billionaire* from the perspective of a pure audience member; he was thinking with the mind of a web novelist.

As time passed, he felt that, so far, the tropes in *Hello Mr. Billionaire* were a bit monotonous.

The points of satisfaction here were somewhat similar to the "divine billionaire" genre in web novels.

Although the comedic beats were dense from beginning to end, one would likely get bored of them very soon.

Harboring such thoughts, he soon saw a plot point that made him slap the table in admiration!

That was Wang Duoyu trying every possible way to lose money, only to end up making a profit for all sorts of reasons!

"Anti-tropes, it's all plot that goes against the tropes!" Qing Jie's train of thought was instantly unlocked.

Yet, this segment of content was entirely unexpected, yet reasonable.

It also held a deep satire toward the real world.

People without money find it very difficult to become wealthy.

But wealthy people have many ways to make money beget money!

He really liked this mode; it appeared to be mocking and scolding, appearing to be serious about being funny, but in reality, it had a core within it.

And when Qing Jie saw the people around Wang Duoyu engaging in all sorts of over-interpretation, his train of thought was unlocked once again!

Wang Duoyu squatting on the table and slapping himself could make those around him feel admiration; no one thought he was crazy, they only felt this person was highly worthy of respect, whipping himself like this after earning one hundred million just to keep himself clear-headed!

"This kind of over-interpretation by bystanders can create a lot of comedic beats!"

"This mode is absolutely viable for writing in web novels!"

"In a certain sense, this can actually bring satisfaction to readers as well."

"And it's not the kind of satisfaction brought about by the male lead deliberately acting cool."

"For example, the male lead clearly just wants to lose money and be a spendthrift, but the bystanders insist on thinking he is an investment genius!"

"Too Ox, this set of tricks from Luo Mo is truly too Ox!"

Qing Jie couldn't even bother to focus on watching the movie; he took out his phone and, relying on his typing speed, frantically recorded his current inspiration in his notes.

When he saw the news segment where the host was even adding value to Wang Duoyu, calling him a different kind of capitalist, he felt this scene was also truly brilliant!

"It can even shape the nobility of the male lead's spirit!"

"Damn it, it can actually shape the nobility of the male lead's spirit!"

This point is actually quite difficult in web novels.

A lot of so-called satisfaction needs to be grounded.

And spiritual nobility is often at odds with that.

But it doesn't matter.

It's actually fine if the male lead is such a person from time to time!

If everyone thinks he is, then he is!

Under these circumstances, if the male lead is still a grounded person and is on the same wavelength as the readers' thinking, then the readers' sense of immersion will not be diminished at all!

"Luo Mo is truly a god!"

"I feel that if he went to write web novels, he would definitely be able to reach the top; there would be absolutely nothing left for us to do!"

"How can there be such a genius in this world!" Qing Jie really couldn't figure it out.

After watching the entire movie, Qing Jie's train of thought was completely unlocked.

He even developed an urge—why not just cut the current book he was writing!

He had already constructed a basic outline for a new book!

"Write a novel about losing money until becoming the richest man."

"It can be a system-based story; a system is far more useful than Second Granduncle."

"But, from which industry should I start?"

"Oh, let's start from the gaming industry I'm most familiar with." Qing Jie was originally a worker in the gaming industry before he started writing web novels.

"Just write about him losing money making games at first, then making a crazy profit, and being hailed by players as the conscience of the gaming world!"

At this very moment, Qing Jie was incomparably excited.

But this kind of anti-trope plus over-interpretation style novel was not common on Blue Star nowadays.

It was very novel, but innovation also meant it was very risky.

"That's easy to handle, I'll just open a pseudonym!" He made a decision in his heart.

A comedy movie, just like that, brought a not-insignificant impact to the web novel industry.

………

………

On the other side, it is well known that every time Luo Mo has a new film release, he receives strong support from many friends in the industry.

For example... the former king of the music scene, Chen Luo.

Last time, he went to watch *Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child*, cried directly, and then cried his way onto the Weibo Hot Search.

Relying on his own social suicide, he brought terrifying popularity across the entire internet for *Nezha*.

During this Spring Festival season, he also secretly slipped into movie theaters one after another to watch *Let the Bullets Fly* and *Hello Mr. Billionaire*.

Incidentally, he heard no less than five times in the mall the song *Gong Xi Fa Cai*, which he sang himself and for which Luo Mo was the Lyricist and composer.

Of these two movies, he watched *Hello Mr. Billionaire* first.

The reason was very simple: he was a fan of Huo Yuan's books.

Logically speaking, as a reader of Huo Yuan, since Huo Yuan strongly recommended *Let the Bullets Fly*, why didn't he go watch *Let the Bullets Fly* first?

The reason was very simple: he didn't believe a single word from that little old man, Huo Yuan.

Once, Huo Yuan stated in many interviews that he really liked one of his own works; although it wasn't as famous as his most popular book, he would occasionally take it out to read and feel that it was written damn well, with many strokes of genius inside!

Chen Luo happened to see this interview by chance, and then, he trotted off to buy a copy.

——It's fucking brutal!

There is a character in the novel who left a deep impression on him.

Being arrested, having his home raided, and being beaten to death alive.

Do you think that's brutal enough?

No, no, no, this is just the beginning.

"Because this person was too sturdy and the coffin was too small, they had to break his kneecaps to fit him in." Chen Luo still remembers how suffocating he felt watching that part.

Of course, as Huo Yuan has become increasingly popular over the past two years, Chen Luo has started to imagine a grand drama in his own mind.

"After finishing the writing, will Huo Yuan smile and say: 'This will surely make you all cry to death, right? Let's go, Cao Tong, let's go play soccer! Haha!'"

In summary, Chen Luo feels that *Let the Bullets Fly* is definitely not that cheerful; there will certainly be no shortage of knives in it.

You have to know, Luo Mo is also nicknamed 【Blade-Blade Luo】, with the innate skill: 【Hand Rises, Blade Falls】.

"Huh, the two of them are quite like-minded," Chen Luo thought to himself.

After finishing *Hello Mr. Billionaire*, he felt very satisfied.

Because it was truly very funny.

It had been a long time since he had seen such a hilarious comedy film that made him roar with laughter.

"The last time I saw a comedy film like this, was the last time."

"Alright, it was *Charlotte Troubles*."

He felt that his cameo in the movie was particularly funny.

After returning home, he definitely had to promote Luo Mo on Weibo.

【Luo-Luo Generous】, may our friendship last forever!

He first posted a picture of his ticket stub, then said: "The biggest surprise for me in this movie is Luo Mo! I won't spoil anything else, I just want to ask one thing: when exactly are you going to hold a solo concert? I want to come as a guest!"

When he saw Luo Mo playing and singing *Need Someone to Accompany* in the movie, he was truly amazed.

Chen Luo genuinely felt that going to be a guest at his concert would be quite fun.

You have to know, as a former top singer in the music scene, Chen Luo has lost count of how many rounds of world tours he has held.

He himself can't even remember how many concerts with tens of thousands of people he has held.

His concerts are always sold out, and if you can't grab a ticket, you can only pay extra to buy one from an Ox.

Yet, looking at this new top singer, the current MusicGodfather of the Chinese music scene, Luo Mo, he hasn't even held a single concert to this day.

If you didn't hold one before, everyone could understand.

After all, you hadn't debuted for long, and you didn't have enough songs to sustain the duration of a concert.

But now, it's completely different!

For fans, the Demand for a concert is very high.

Many people like a Singer, and they just want to go see a concert once.

And don't even get me started, the feeling of a ten-thousand-person sing-along is truly exhilarating.

Therefore, once Chen Luo posted this Weibo, a large number of netizens flooded the comment section and started @-ing Luo Mo.

Some closer celebrity friends also came to join in the fun.

Like Shen Yinuo, who posted on Weibo: "Director Luo, can I come to your concert and shout: 【Burning my Calories】?"

Not only was she advertising the new song *Calories* for the Aurora Girls, but she was also adding heat to *Hello Mr. Billionaire*. Xiao Shen wasn't suddenly being smart; it was purely a case of unintentional planting resulting in shade.

Well-known music bloggers like 【Music God】, and popular music critics, all joined the ranks of the protesters.

She really wanted to go to the scene to watch Luo Mo's solo concert.

You have to know, the rumors in the scene say: "Don't look at how handsome Luo Mo is, but he's actually not photogenic."

Damn it, don't I have to go to the scene to see it with my own eyes, don't I have to find a way to get a front-row ticket in the inner field?

What's more, even the cleaning lady at the Xihong City hotel heard *Need Someone to Accompany* live!

I want to hear it too!

As this event developed, it eventually spiraled out of Chen Luo's control.

He suddenly thought: "Did I accidentally cause trouble for Luo Mo?"

The fans' resentment is very strong!

Although it was an unintentional mistake, he thought he should communicate privately.

As a result, Luo Mo replied to him on WeChat: "It's fine, it's fine, it's not a big problem."

Chen Luo was stunned.

This is already number one on the Weibo Hot Search, and it's still not a big problem?

A few minutes later, he saw that Luo Mo had posted a Weibo.

The wording of this Weibo was somewhat clever.

"Huh, how did you guys know that my first solo concert is almost ready?" Luo Mo said.

Once this Weibo was posted, the circle of 【Mo-Born People】 completely boiled over.

Finally! Have we finally waited for the concert?

On the other side, Luo Mo's phone rang.

It was a WeChat message from Jing, and her tone was full of confusion.

"Your concert is almost ready? How come I don't know about this?"
