Chapter 751: Master, Listen

~18 min read 3,484 words

The entire Olympic Stadium was truly bustling with excitement.

So much so that some people active in the surrounding areas couldn't help but look toward the direction of the Olympic Stadium.

One hundred thousand people shouted in unison, their voices cracking: "【Burning my Calories!】"

This scene, honestly, was even a bit manic!

Shen Yinuo stood on the stage, Singing and Dancing, feeling as if a bolt of electricity had surged through her entire body.

She understood now why Luo Mo had said to her when inviting her: "You all have earned a great deal this time."

Looking at the development prospects of the Aurora Girls, they likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to headline a 100,000-person concert.

If Luo Mo hadn't gifted them an 【Experience Card】, they would never have had the chance in this lifetime to feel this kind of exhilaration!

At the same time, this was also a rare and precious stage experience.

Having experienced the highest-spec concert in the country, they naturally wouldn't be nervous about any other scale.

One could see the 【Aurora Girls】 at the very front of the stage, Singing and Dancing.

"【Bye-bye, donuts, pearl milk tea, instant noodles,

hot pot, rice, big plate chicken,

take it away, take it away, don't be polite!】"

Honestly, this song is quite strange. Many people feel that the content of the song is clearly about burning calories, yet it lists so many foods, making people listen and listen... until they get hungry!

At the Olympic Stadium, the group of male audience members couldn't have been more hyped.

"So this is what it feels like to watch a girl group live?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mocked those women who watch boy groups."

"I get it now! I'm starting to understand them!"

"I'm gradually grasping the joy in this!"

Throughout the song, Xiao Shen had to let out a grumpy, baby-like voice several times, shouting "【Burning my Calories】" multiple times.

This group of male audience members at the venue were like they were in military training; damn it, the more they shouted, the more synchronized they became, the more synchronized they became!

The scene felt like it was already becoming a bit uncontrollable!

Very soon, the first Singing and Dancing stage performance of the entire song was about to end.

"【I want to become a heartthrob!】" the girls sang the final line in chorus.

After singing this line, they struck a final closing pose on stage.

The music stopped for ten seconds, but the screaming, cheering, and applause from the entire venue never ceased.

After the song "Calories" was finished, there were still five minutes left until the scheduled start time of Luo Mo's solo concert.

Therefore, Luo Mo had also prepared a Surprise for the "tough guys" and "skinny guys" at the venue.

Before long, a new intro began to play.

In an instant, some male audience members were so excited they even stood up!

Once the song's intro sounded, for the bizarre organization 【Aurora Boys】 at the venue, it was simply irresistible.

This song was—"Love You"!

They had come specifically to watch Luo Mo's concert, never expecting to see the dance debut of "Calories" first, and then to be able to see the Singing and Dancing stage of "Love You"!

The 【Aurora Girls】 were full of vitality on stage, and the female audience members were all captivated by them.

Who could not love a stage full of energy?

They began to sing.

"【If you suddenly sneezed,

that must be me thinking of you,

if you are woken up by your phone in the middle of the night,

ah, that is because I care.】"

By the time they sang to the chorus, the leg dance moves appeared.

You must know, when this song was first released, countless male netizens were posting this dance video online.

And in reality, who taught the 【Aurora Girls】 the dance?

That was naturally Luo Mo.

It's just that he didn't have the nerve to post the dance video online.

As soon as the chorus was sung, the venue was filled with wailing and howling again; the atmosphere was explosive.

"【Oh baby, say a little more sweet talk,

if you miss me, take another look,

express a little more, so that I can really see it!

Oh bye, say a little less, I want to accompany you for more than just a day,

a little more, to make me willingly—Love You!】"

When the final "【Love You】" was sung, huge hearts began to appear on the screens on stage.

Immediately after, a character for 【Love】 appeared.

Luo Mo inviting the 【Aurora Girls】 to warm up the stage had his own design behind it.

Under normal circumstances, a Singer's tour will have a specific name.

For example, Zhou Jielun liked the four arrogant words 【Surface Strongest】 for a period of time, so he named his team that, and his concert tour was also called 【Surface Strongest】.

500,000 tickets for Luo Mo's solo concert tour had already been sold.

Yet the specific name had never been announced.

Everyone initially thought that he was Afraid he hadn't even come up with a name at all.

After all, there is no rule stating that a tour must have a specific name.

But in reality, it is not that it has no name.

The name of his world tour has already appeared on the big screen amidst the singing of this song, "Love You".

Yes, it is called "Love".

——I want to sing the heartbeat I feel for you to the whole world during this world tour!

………

………

At the stage entrance, Luo Mo was already making his final preparations.

Xu Chujing stood by his side, tidied up his hairstyle, and tucked away a strand of hair that was sticking up.

"Are you nervous?" she asked with a smile.

"Not nervous for the moment," Luo Mo replied.

He was certainly not nervous now, but that was only for the moment.

He never felt nervous about going on stage to sing.

But don't forget, he had other things to do; it would be strange if his heart could remain as calm as an ancient well!

Listening to that song "Love You" outside, it was already coming to an end.

"I'm heading out," Luo Mo said to Xu Chujing.

Jing nodded and cheered him on.

The doors to the stage entrance opened at this moment, and the "Aurora Girls", having finished their song, trotted to the backstage of the concert.

They all gave Luo Mo a gesture of encouragement, but none of them made small talk.

Because outside, the ten-second countdown had already begun.

The sound of the countdown echoed throughout the venue, and many of the one hundred thousand audience members couldn't help but join in the shouting.

When it reached 1, the countdown officially ended, and the venue began to fade into darkness once again.

Only the red glow sticks on the stage continued to shine with red light.

The venue was first noisy, then became slightly quieter.

It wasn't until the music sounded from the stage again that the entire Olympic Stadium erupted into a frenzy once more!

The "Aurora Girls" did a great job with the warm-up, so when Luo Mo was arranging the setlist, he chose to start with a song the audience loved immensely to ignite everyone's passion!

Since Luo Mo's debut, his compositions and Arranger work have always been praised by everyone; many songs have been deified, and quite a few have the reputation of a "Pre-chorus Kill".

This song now was exactly that.

As soon as the music started, many in the audience knew what song it was.

"Ahhhhh! It's 'Sunny Day'!"

"Starting off with 'Sunny Day'! Oh my god!"

"This song is my absolute favorite!"

"I never thought I'd be able to hear 'Sunny Day' live!"

The composition of this song is notoriously strange, using a few notes over and over again at the beginning, yet the effect it achieves is so good that one cannot find a single fault with it.

Amidst the pre-chorus, the screaming in the venue never stopped, with waves of sound rising one after another.

The stage remained dim, and the moment the lights came on, Luo Mo was already standing in the center of the stage, no one knew when he had arrived!

The screams of one hundred thousand people seemed as if they would flip the entire Olympic Stadium upside down.

By the time Luo Mo opened his mouth to sing, he had only sung a few words before directly inciting a massive sing-along from the entire venue!

Almost everyone who came to his concert knew how to sing this song.

"【The little yellow flowers of the story,

Have been drifting since the year I was born,

The swing from childhood,

Swings along with memories until now.】"

Many audience members were so excited they felt like they were going to faint.

Everyone has a few songs in their heart that are their absolute favorites.

Just imagine, one day you go to hear this song live, and it's the first song of the concert, and there are a full one hundred thousand people singing along with you!

Tsk tsk tsk, this feeling is simply indescribable!

I have to say, using "Sunny Day" as the opening song is truly cheating.

You have to know, this song and "Qi Li Xiang" are often used as the finale tracks.

When it reached the part before the chorus, Luo Mo, with his guitar on his back, stood alone in the center of the stage and began to wave his left hand.

No backup dancers, no choir.

Just one person was enough to command a crowd of one hundred thousand.

Under his direction, everyone couldn't help but start waving the red glow sticks in their hands.

For some reason, many people looked at the red heart-shaped glow sticks, then at the "Love" character on the big screen, and had a faint guess in their hearts: "Could this be the name of the concert?"

Luo Mo's live singing was extremely stable.

"【That day I skipped class for you,

That day the flowers fell,

That classroom,

Why can't I see it.】"

When he sang the line "【Once upon a time, someone loved you for a long time】", he confidently handed the microphone directly to the audience.

One hundred thousand people were singing the chorus of "Sunny Day" together!

Many people had goosebumps all over, and some were even moved to tears.

When the song ended, Luo Mo didn't say a single extra word and went straight into singing the second song.

He planned to sing three songs in a row right from the start!

The second song of Luo Mo's solo concert was—"Starry Sunny Day"!

One could hear him quickly reach the climax of the chorus:

"【Hand in hand,

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky,

Watching the stars, one, two, three, four, connecting into a line.】"

When singing this part, he raised his left hand and pointed into the air toward the 【Inner Field Area】 of the concert.

The images on the various large screens were still capturing the audience.

A fat face full of rolls of flesh instantly appeared on all the large screens.

—Liu Shixiong, Liu Gongming!

Many audience members instantly felt like they were dreaming back to "Charlotte Troubles". After all, in that movie, when Luo Mo made a guest appearance, it was because he had randomly altered Xia Luo's "Gorilla Sunny Day", and then got beaten up by him.

The surprise appearance of Liu Shixiong, Liu Gongming, raised the atmosphere at the venue to another level!

Are you kidding, our Liu Shixiong is also a high-popularity Comedy Superstar now, okay?

Amidst the screams of the audience, Luo Mo pointed his left hand again.

On the large screens, Wei Ran and Li Ge, who were sitting in the audience, instantly appeared!

These two had been strongly supporting Luo Mo ever since the "Creating Idols" period.

At the same time, they also made guest appearances in "Charlotte Troubles", where they, along with Xu Chujing and Xia Luo, served as mentors.

Therefore, the appearance of these two good buddies at this moment was also just right.

At this very moment, many audience members had only one thought in their minds.

"Where is Jing!?"

Where is the top Diva Xu Chujing right now?

She will definitely come to Luo Mo's concert!

And in what kind of occasion will she appear?

………

………

Until the song "Starry Sunny Day" was nearing its end, Jing, who had served as a mentor in "Charlotte Troubles", still had not appeared.

Luo Mo had his own arrangements.

At this moment, even though only two songs had been sung, many audience members felt the ticket price was already worth it.

This concert definitely contained a massive amount of Surprises!

Intuition told them that it definitely wasn't just Liu Shixiong, Wei Ran, and Li Ge; there must be a massive amount of unexpected segments coming up later!

The third song of the concert arrived seamlessly just like that.

It was just that during the intro of this song, Luo Mo put down his guitar.

As soon as the intro of this song played, it awakened many people's memories.

"'Lanting Preface'! It's 'Lanting Preface'!"

"Luo Mo's second Chinese Style song!"

"The fusion of Opera and Chinese Style, it was stunning the first time I heard it!"

Thinking of this, some sensitive audience members suddenly realized something.

"When the camera was on Liu Shixiong just now, was there an old man sitting next to him?" a girl asked her boyfriend.

"Seems like there was." The boyfriend recalled frantically, but couldn't remember clearly.

Because at that time, everyone's attention was basically focused on Liu Gongming.

Many people ignored that beside him, an old man was looking at the young man on the stage with a gentle expression.

In his eyes, there was satisfaction, gratification, and pride!

"It's Tong Qinglin! It's Tong Qinglin!" The girl was a bit excited.

Tong Qinglin, a titan of the Opera world, Luo Mo's mentor.

Many people still remembered that on the show "Creating Idols", Tong Qinglin had a video call with Luo Mo, made him recite the "Ancient Teachings of Learning Arts", and admonished him about Not Forgetting Original Intention.

Luo Mo would mention him in many interviews.

Including many times when receiving awards, Tong Qinglin would also be on his list of thanks.

And with the explosive popularity of Liu Shixiong, Liu Gongming, the prestige of Old Master Tong must have also risen.

The number of young people who knew him and had heard of him was also increasing.

Clearly, Luo Mo had invited his master to the scene.

He was going to sing a song incorporating an Opera Element for his master on stage!

At this moment, Luo Mo had already reached the line before the chorus.

"【A line of cinnabar, who was circled in the end!】"

The melody of this "Lanting Preface" was relatively high.

Ordinary people really couldn't sing it up that high.

Of course, the original singer had also often sung it... a bit arduously in concerts over the past few years?

When Luo Mo sang the climax of the chorus in section A, the many people in the audience singing along were really hoarse and exhausted.

And when the climax was about to finish, the large screen once again displayed footage of the live audience.

Everyone initially thought the focus this time was again on Liu Shixiong, Liu Gongming.

Because in the footage on the screen, his fleshy, wrinkled face had popped up again.

But very quickly, the camera focused on the old man beside him.

Liu Gongming was mouthing words on the side, saying: "Master! Master!"

Many people already had an impression of the old man Tong's appearance because of Luo Mo and Liu Gongming.

At this moment, with Liu Shixiong mouthing words on the side, the vast majority of the live audience knew the old man's identity.

It was unclear which audience members took the lead, but applause actually broke out at the venue.

Fans familiar with the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" were very clear that after the A-section of this song was sung, it adopted a very interesting transition.

Using Opera Singing to sing the chorus climax twice more, bringing a new transformation.

Many people still remembered their feelings when they first heard this song; it was simply stunning, and they were completely conquered by Luo Mo's talent!

At this moment, Luo Mo stood on the stage, having already entered his persona.

He was about to start singing opera.

"【Regardless of romance, I write the preface and wait for your return,"

"The suspended brush creates a masterpiece, the waves on the shore stack a thousandfold,"

"How to interpret the word 'love', no matter how I write it, it feels wrong,"

"And I alone lack a lifetime of understanding from you.】"

Luo Mo would never forget in this life that on the day of his Master's birthday, he had a rare drink, and after the alcohol hit him, he expressed his sentiments.

He said that all his fellow disciples had caught the last train of the prosperous era of opera, were all people who had been "Stars," and had all once been glorious because of opera.

"That era, how glorious it was."

"How glorious it was."

"Only little Luo, just little Luo, sigh."

The old man was somewhat sorrowful; in this era where opera was declining, he did not know if his Closing Disciple could rely on this Kung Fu Hustle of opera, if there was a chance to rely on opera, to add color to his own life.

That day, he called Luo Mo to his side and patted his shoulder with drunken, hazy eyes.

"Master wants you to stand on a big stage and sing opera."

"Master wants to see you be a Star for once."

Today, Luo Mo stood on the stage, looking at the old man.

Master, look at today.

A sea of people, not a single empty seat!

One hundred thousand people, a full one hundred thousand people!

They are sitting under the stage, listening to me sing opera!

But, this is not enough, far from enough!

What Luo Mo wanted was not just these.

He was very clear that after Tong Qinglin grew old, he had only two wishes.

The first was the hope that his Closing Disciple Luo Mo would have a brilliant future.

The second was to promote opera culture.

He had also never dared to hope that today's young people would like listening to opera very much.

He only hoped that everyone would not be too repulsed by it, would not hate it too much, and would not feel that it was something outdated and obsolete that should exit the historical stage.

This titan of the opera world, this old man, did not have much ambition left.

——Then, let the venue give you an answer!

Luo Mo was seen standing on the stage, once again pointing the microphone toward the entire audience, signaling everyone to sing.

The moment the microphone was pointed toward the audience, the one hundred thousand people in the venue began to try to use Opera Singing to sing this song, "Orchid Pavilion Preface"!

In a concert, there are always teleprompters, and the audience could look at the teleprompters to sing together.

"【Regardless of romance, I write the preface and wait for your return,"

"The suspended brush creates a masterpiece, the waves on the shore stack a thousandfold....】"

Everyone was not singing standardly; some were off-key, some were just straining their throats to shout with effort, and some sang even more ridiculously.

But everyone was very cooperative.

Regardless of whether they could sing well or not, they all followed the original arrangement of the song and sang the chorus again using the Opera Singing they believed in!

One hundred thousand people, a full one hundred thousand people singing opera on-site!

This kind of scene was unseen in the world, unprecedented!

The sound resonated directly through the night sky of Beijing!

In the audience, old man Tong's eyes turned red, and his thin, bony right hand trembled slightly.

He sat in the inner field, raised his head to look at the high Stand Area, and then turned his head to look all around.

A sea of people, the sound of opera melodious.

Luo Mo kept the microphone pointed at the audience, letting everyone sing for his Master to hear!

The old man's hunched back seemed to straighten a bit at this moment.

"No regrets in this life, no regrets in this life."

(PS: Everyone can pair this with the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and imagine it.

The concert plot will not end very quickly, but I will write a feeling different from others.)
