Chapter 747: Harder to Get Than a Ticket

Chen Luo did not expect that Luo Mo would plan to hold five consecutive concerts in one go.

One city, five concerts at the 100,000-person level—that's nearly 500,000 live audience members in total!

Good grief, what is the total population of some small cities anyway?

Even, what is the total population of some small countries?

This level of indoor concert is rare in the world.

Those concerts abroad that look like they have an exaggerated number of people are mostly outdoor and open-air, and they usually trigger safety hazards.

Under normal circumstances, a Singer should still act according to their ability when holding a concert.

If the tickets don't sell well in the end, it is a very embarrassing thing.

Like on Earth, someone once went to the Bird's Nest to hold a concert, but ended up unable to sell even the 88-yuan tickets, resulting in a loss of over ten million, forcing them to sell their house, and they even ended up on "Roast!" because of it.

But since it was Luo Mo who brought it up, Chen Luo was a bit uncertain.

He, for one, would never dare to perform at the Olympic Stadium for five consecutive nights.

Based on Luo Mo's uniqueness, who knows if he could really sell out all five shows?

He only knew that if this news got out, the music scene would explode!

Presumably, when the employees of Luo Mo Studio coordinate with the relevant personnel at the Olympic Stadium, the people at the Olympic Stadium will be dumbfounded too.

This place might not even be contracted for a single concert in a year.

They never imagined that someone would book the venue for so many days in one go!

Damn it, how many days does the 【Olympic Games】 even last in total!

After ending the call with Chen Luo, Luo Mo felt no psychological burden at all.

He personally felt—it wasn't a big problem.

As for the preliminary work like stage construction, stage design, and sound equipment, he planned to ask Ning Dan for help.

"Run Jie is very familiar with this set of things," he thought to himself.

With Ning Dan's help, Luo Mo could save a lot of worry and effort.

Time moved forward by three days.

In these three days, many Singers in the industry contacted Luo Mo, wanting to come to his concert as guests.

Luo Mo's personal popularity is right there; the benefits of being a guest at his concert are too great!

The effect this brings is no less than the last hit music variety show.

Like on Earth, the Singer Li Shengjie also had many classic works, such as "Absolute Infatuation," "Let Go," "Recently," and "You Love Him So Much," etc.

But this person was a bit of a case where the songs are popular but the person is not.

Later, after he fell out of fashion, the biggest opportunity in his life was actually being pointed out on stage at a Zhou Jielun concert, and then singing "Quiet" for a minute.

He once expressed that the attention he received across the entire internet after singing for over a decade didn't add up to that one minute at Zhou Jielun's concert.

Of course, this one minute also brought a new turning point to his career, and as a powerful Singer, he was later invited to the variety show "Singer."

Because Luo Mo had never held a personal concert before, yet he himself already stood at the peak of the Blue Star music scene, anyone who could stand on his concert stage would definitely be able to blow up along with him!

Therefore, let alone not taking a penny, even if they had to pay Luo Mo a huge fee, they would be willing to come and sing.

Of course, Luo Mo had his own ideas.

He didn't plan to invite people he wasn't familiar with.

It's just that for industry insiders, seeing the restlessness in the music scene these past few days, they still couldn't help but feel moved.

"Those who don't know would think some hit music variety show started casting again."

"The MusicGodfather is truly terrifying!"

"Many Singers will bring their juniors from the same company to their concerts; like Luo Mo, even if he brought a pure Newcomer, they could blow up along with him."

"I even suspect that half the music scene will join the ranks of those fighting for tickets."

"Some people are a bit overestimating themselves; for a concert of this scale, shouldn't there at least be Heavenly King or Heavenly Queen level guests?"

Honestly, these people in the music scene are still too limited; their perspective is still too small.

Will it only be half the Singers in the music scene coming to fight for tickets?

Actors: What do you take us for?!

Idols: You think we won't ride this wave of popularity?!

The 【Mo Sheng Ren】 fans could never have imagined that the people fighting for tickets with them might be... half the entertainment industry!

As time passed, many people's annual leave had already ended.

The daily box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" began to decline gradually, and the decline was not small.

The Spring Festival slot is just like that; it follows a runaway route, unlike the Shuji Dang, which follows a stable route.

But even so, the cumulative box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" has already reached 3.59 billion.

It is already a certainty that this movie's Total Box Office will break 4 billion.

Of course, looking across the entire internet, many people are comparing "Hello Mr. Billionaire" with "Charlotte Troubles."

To each their own; some people like the former more, while others prefer the latter.

But looking at the box office results, "Hello Mr. Billionaire" is a product that came after the massive explosion of "Charlotte Troubles," so it definitely has a greater advantage.

And what's magical is that because it was released in the same period as "Let the Bullets Fly," and the screenwriter for both was Luo Mo, its reputation on Blue Star is even better than it was on Earth.

As for the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly," it is more stable than "Hello Mr. Billionaire."

Although the online discussion for this movie is like a paranormal event—many posts disappear without a trace for no reason—it does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm for it.

On the internet, there are all kinds of in-depth interpretations.

Of course, there are certainly people who will loathe this kind of overwhelming interpretation, feeling that it is over-interpretation.

And just when you feel slightly annoyed, what you will scroll to is... a parody video of *Let the Bullets Fly*.

Like on the small broken station on Earth, the parody video "Dare to Kill My Horse" reached a terrifying 80 million views, which is simply absurd.

Pure parody, simple joy.

There is no profound content; just playing is enough, just having fun is enough, just being brainwashed is enough!

As of now, the total box office of *Let the Bullets Fly* has already reached 4.587 billion.

The total box office breaking five billion is an inevitable matter.

The question now is whether it can reach the top of the total box office chart!

Judging from the momentum of these two films, Wang Rong should become the second Ten Billion Box Office Director in the Huaxia film industry before long.

For this reason, Wang Rong is very excited, and his peers are very jealous.

"Isn't it just because he climbed the high branch of Luo Mo!"

And what about Luo Mo's side?

He clearly only just became the first 【Ten Billion Box Office Director】 in Huaxia not long ago.

Yet now, he is already heading toward the 【Two-Billion-Box-Office Club】 all by himself.

You must know, setting aside Wang Rong, the cumulative box office of other directors is at most only eight or nine billion!

What is called a gap?

This is a gap!

Previously, when the total box office of *Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child* broke 4 billion, Luo Mo successfully achieved the ten-billion milestone.

And the subsequent final box office of *Nezha* was over five billion.

The next film to be released, *Sheep Without a Shepherd*, also had a box office as high as over three billion.

Today, *Let the Bullets Fly* is already nearly 4.6 billion.

With this simple calculation, Luo Mo has actually already stepped one foot over the 20-billion threshold.

This is clearly an extremely shocking matter, yet many industry insiders feel that Luo Mo himself seems to not care about this kind of empty fame at all.

After all, if he cared, he could have attached his name to many films.

Every film he writes is a big hit, and the total cumulative box office is already an incredibly terrifying number!

But it is very obvious that Luo Mo disdains doing so.

Or rather, this behavior of his is also a form of mockery toward the circle!

These days, so-called titles like 【Billion-Box-Office Gentleman】 are very popular.

You go search for these stars, and you might be dumbfounded: "Just him? Billion?"

Among them, the vast majority of people simply cannot carry the box office alone.

They are just mixing in some hit movies, acting as supporting roles.

Then mixing and mixing, they mixed their way to ten billion.

Even, some so-called 【Billion-Box-Office Gentleman】 have not even acted as the male lead in any single movie...

Hyping these things is nothing more than gilding their own faces, forcibly elevating their own commercial value, and attracting the eyes of the Masses.

At the same time, many fan circles are also having an internal carnival, bragging about how amazing their own "brother" is.

Luo Mo strictly forbids the staff under him from engaging in this kind of promotion.

After all, his films are so popular that some Actors can mix in a few of his films and easily mix their way to ten billion in box office.

He feels there is no need to engage in this stuff.

In his understanding, it seems that in the past, only by being the lead in a movie could the box office be counted.

But now, for some reason, it has become looser and looser.

One has to say, as long as there are enough shameless people, they can constantly lower some of the industry's standards.

After the Lantern Festival, the single-day box office for films in theaters once again saw a significant decline.

This is a very normal phenomenon, and Luo Mo does not care.

Both *Let the Bullets Fly* and *Hello Mr. Billionaire* have received approval from the Review Department, and the 【Encryption Key】 will be extended by one month, adding 30 days of screening time.

Luo Mo calculated simply and said in his heart: "Huh, Liu Shixiong clearly only debuted last year, yet he is already almost a ten-billion box office male lead."

You must know, his box office is the real deal.

In the afternoon, Luo Mo also received a call from Hua Jiaqun.

He informed Luo Mo that the *Peerless* gang had all returned to work.

After a brief exchange with Hua Jiaqun, Luo Mo felt incredibly gratified.

"It is very obvious that the explosive popularity of my two films during the Spring Festival season has cleansed Qunzai's Evil soul." Luo Mo was very proud, feeling that he had completed his redemption.

Why print counterfeit money? Follow me to go "rob money" directly in the movie theater!

At the same time, using the counterfeit money printed by Hua Jiaqun and the others in *Hello Mr. Billionaire* was also a move by Luo Mo.

When *Peerless* enters the final promotional stage, it will be the perfect time to announce this matter to the public, adding a layer of heat to this Hong Kong film.

Grass snakes and gray lines, every step is carefully planned.

"High, I am truly high!" Luo Mo felt that this is what a transmigrator should look like, rather than playing a good hand of cards in a disorganized way.

At the same time, after Xu Gangsheng, who had been away from the screen for many years, officially made a comeback thanks to *Let the Bullets Fly*, his appearance in another Hong Kong film will certainly bring a significant boost to the box office of *Peerless*.

For this film, Luo Mo's expectation is that it can get off to a good start.

For these next few months, Luo Mo plans to take a break and not invest too much time and energy into work.

In terms of work, he has already reached this status; it is not that easy to go any further.

But in life, in the stages of his life, he feels it is time for him to take another step forward.

Once these matters were finished, he felt he could indeed make a big splash in the field of Hong Kong cinema.

He sat before his computer and silently glanced at a folder.

The name of the folder was...

—"Infernal Affairs"!

The annual leave had ended, and it was time for Luo Mo to leave Beijing and return to Shanghai.

Regarding this, he was somewhat impatient.

After all, Beijing was not very convenient; once back in Shanghai, he could continue living together with Jing.

Well, I'm just purely craving her body, so what!?

And once he started living together, it would be quite difficult to secretly continue the preparations for his concert, with the risk of exposure at any time.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival, Luo Mo had already completed everything with high efficiency.

The Jingcheng Station of the concert was scheduled from March 1st to March 5th.

Starting today, Luo Mo Studio would spread this news across the entire internet.

Five days later, the concert tickets would go on sale on the designated platform.

Many people in the entertainment industry were stunned.

"Holy crap! Five consecutive concerts for 100,000 people? Is he crazy!"

"This, this, this..."

"As arrogant as ever, just don't know if he can sell them all out."

"Selling 500,000 tickets just in Beijing, isn't this too perverted?"

And on the other side.

The Moshengren: There isn't much time left for us to persuade others to unfan him!

There are too many competitors; we have to discourage as many as we can!

Many people were already planning to mobilize everyone around them to help grab tickets when the time came.

The time to compete in hand speed and internet speed had arrived!

The male fans thought: "Relying on my years of experience in self-guidance with high hand speed, my chances of winning are high!"

The female fans thought: "Relying on our experience in grabbing goods during Live Broadcasts, my chances of winning are high!"

Then, a despairing scene appeared.

Luo Mo Studio ultimately chose not to cooperate with any ticket-purchasing platform, but instead chose to sell tickets on Penguin Music.

Penguin Music even specially launched a 【Reservation】 function.

You click 【Reservation】, and when the ticket-purchasing time is near, it will send you a reminder message.

This 【Reservation】 function had only been open for half an hour, and the Reservation Count had already broken 500,000!

And one must know, Luo Mo was not taking the tickets for all five days out to sell at once.

He was selling the first show first, and then selling one show each day.

That is to say, what everyone was reserving and scrambling for now was less than 100,000 tickets!

"It's only been half an hour, holy crap!"

"It's killing me, just how many competitors are there!"

"Sisters, someone like Luo Mo is not worth fanning!"

"If I buy inner-field tickets, will there be slightly fewer competitors?"

Strictly speaking, everyone definitely wanted to grab the tickets for March 1st more.

After all, this was Luo Mo's first personal concert in the true sense, which had an extraordinary commemorative significance.

Later on, many people started to stop looking at the Reservation Count on 【Penguin Music】.

Looking at it was just upsetting!

And as the largest ticketing platform in Blue Star Huaxia, 【Big Beast Network】 felt truly miserable.

Big Beast, taken from the homophone for "Big Sell."

In recent years, its reputation had not been very good; everyone felt that it privately sold many tickets to scalpers at higher prices and never put them out at the original price for everyone to scramble for.

It truly lives up to the name Big Beast Network, what a bunch of Ox and Horse!

As for Luo Mo Studio, Big Beast Network could be said to have contacted them several times, only to be given the cold shoulder each time.

Luo Mo had no trust in it, so no matter what guarantees it made, Luo Mo couldn't be bothered to cooperate.

Those large-scale scalper organizations in the country were left dumbfounded.

What a huge piece of cake this was!

Negotiating cooperation with Penguin Music was much easier.

Luo Mo's attitude was very simple: as long as there were no problems with ticket sales, we could continue to cooperate on the concert video, and I will sell you the exclusive copyright.

But if there were any shady dealings in ticket sales, then we would talk again.

All along, Penguin had been treating Luo Mo with great respect; how could they destroy their good relationship for such a small "petty profit"?

Soon, the day for ticket grabbing arrived.

The official ticket sale time for the March 1st concert was exactly 1:00 PM.

The ticket-purchasing function was opened right on time with extreme precision.

Countless people held their phones and clicked in at the very first moment.

Then, when it came to payment, they couldn't pay no matter what!

On Blue Star, in the entire music scene, only a handful of Singers can sell out a concert for 100,000 people.

Some Heavenly King-level Singers go to hold a 50,000-person concert, and by the time the concert begins, the final attendance rate might only be eighty or ninety percent, or even lower.

And what about Luo Mo?

Whether it was tickets for the 【Stand Area】, tickets for the 【Inner Field Area】, or even tickets for the 【Butt Area】 with the worst experience, they all sold out completely in just a few dozen seconds!

In an instant, the entire internet was filled with wails of despair.

Yet, the entire music industry was stirred into a massive sensation!

—— "A Ticket Hard to Obtain."
