Chapter 770: Is This a Song That Can Be Sung Abroad?

After Luo Mo and Xu Chujing finished reading the entire film review, they looked at each other in dismay.

Xu Chujing was shocked by the little girl's wild imagination.

Luo Mo, however, was shocked by the very last sentence.

"Cinema guy? Could Xu Jinzhu be the cinema guy she's talking about?" Luo Mo frowned.

"Hmm?" Xu Chujing suddenly felt that Luo Mo's imagination was even wilder.

"What else could it be?" Seeing her disbelief, Luo Mo said, "Besides Romance, what else could block his worship of me?"

"He actually didn't write a film review himself! He forwarded someone else's instead. This makes no sense! It makes absolutely no sense!" Luo Mo appeared incredibly petty at this moment.

"Alright, alright, why bother with him? It's getting late, go wash up," Xu Chujing said.

Over the next few days, the box office for Peerless remained very stable.

Since the golden period of the May Day holiday is not long, the daily box office for these few days was extremely important for this film.

On April 30th, the single-day box office successfully broke the 200 million mark.

By May 3rd, Peerless had been in theaters for 5 days, with a cumulative box office reaching 1.24 billion.

Judging from the current trend, it would not be difficult for the film's final box office to break two billion.

These days, people aren't as sensitive to the number two billion anymore; it doesn't seem like that much.

Placed among a pile of films produced by Luo Mo, two billion-plus is even less conspicuous.

But if you throw Peerless into a pile of Hong Kong films, it is truly... looking down upon the masses!

Hua Jiaqun has been beaming with joy these past few days.

Whether he is running events in Hong Kong or coming to the Mainland for promotion, his entire spirit and energy look different from before.

His entire temperament has changed a bit.

Especially... his aura?

Looking at him, Luo Mo felt he was gradually becoming a big shot.

Come on, can't we just honestly be a filmmaker?

If it weren't for the fact that this world lacks Crippled Ho and the Five-Hundred-Million-Dollar Inspector Lui Lok, I would have wanted to make a Chasing the Dragon for you to shoot.

The success of Peerless has revitalized the entire Hong Kong film market.

Even many gold-medal screenwriters in Hong Kong have to admit that even when Luo Mo writes Hong Kong films, he is still incredibly Ox!

However, Qunzai was not blinded by success.

After being high-spirited for a while, he turned into deep confusion.

As the President, he still didn't know which way Hong Kong films should go in the future.

The success of Peerless might allow the Crime genre in Hong Kong films to become popular for a while, but then what?

Without Luo Mo, what do I have left?

Nothing left but the skill of printing counterfeit money!

Ah, I am so useless!

Fortunately, Luo Mo came over at the right time to provide guidance.

He didn't do anything; he just threw a script to Qunzai to read.

After reading it, Qunzai had an instant epiphany.

"I'm just the President of the 【Hong Kong Film Workers Association】, what the hell do I know about Hong Kong films!"

"Why think so much? Just follow Luo Mo!"

"He will point out a bright path bit by bit!"

Before giving the new script, Luo Mo clearly stated that he would also participate in the directing work for this film.

Upon hearing this, Hua Jiaqun could immediately feel Luo Mo's emphasis.

Therefore, he went to read the script filled with anticipation.

Logically speaking, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Yet, he was still directly stunned by the script!

If one were to use a famous scene from Stephen Chow to express his emotions, it would be:

"One word—Peerless!"

He immediately understood why Luo Mo wanted to personally participate in the directing work.

Because if this film could truly restore the script in its original flavor, it would definitely leave a heavy, colorful stroke in film history!

One must know that on Earth, many say the success of this film saved Hong Kong cinema in its time of peril.

More people call it the final glory of Hong Kong cinema!

It is—Infernal Affairs!

Come to think of it, this film is quite magical, and its behind-the-scenes stories are full of various legends.

Those who know a lot about Hong Kong films and stars should know how much influence a famous master, the 【White Dragon King】, had on the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Infernal Affairs was originally called The Departed; the two characters for Incessant were taken from Avici Hell.

Eerily, during the early stages of filming, the crew frequently encountered various strange events and troubles.

For example, the weather would suddenly change drastically, Props would suddenly break, and it was rumored that people in the crew went missing.

Later, the boss traveled far overseas to ask the 【White Dragon King】 for guidance.

The White Dragon King stated that the film's title could not be four characters; it had to be three.

At the same time, he put forward a series of Requirements, such as performing rituals, eating incense candles, and demanded the boss follow them.

As a result, after doing as the White Dragon King said, all the troubles really disappeared, the filming went smoothly, and it was a huge success, subsequently becoming the Infernal Affairs series.

As time passed, these all became behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

Luo Mo is not worried that anything strange will happen on Blue Star.

He is currently worried about this person, Hua Jiaqun.

"I don't even know how he became the president; I just feel that Qunzai isn't very reliable."

He is very worried that because of *Infernal Affairs*, Qunzai will suddenly become very interested in the matter of being an 【Undercover】.

This life of his, he shouldn't be living it in a way that leads to a prison sentence.

……..

……..

As time passed, the initial preparations for the *Infernal Affairs* film crew had already begun over in Hong Kong.

And it must be said, everything was going very smoothly.

After all, everyone was counting on the environment becoming better and better with Luo Mo's help.

If the environment gets better, we can also do things more smoothly, can't we?

As for Luo Mo himself, he still had things to be busy with.

His world tour, starting from the Jingcheng Station and heading south, had already passed the halfway point for the domestic leg.

He would next choose to go to the 【Overseas Stations】 to hold concerts abroad, and then loop back to finish the remaining half of the itinerary back home.

It is called a world tour, but it certainly won't cover every corner of the world.

When going abroad to hold concerts, he will mostly go to big cities.

According to the currently arranged itinerary, he will go to Meiguo first.

Hmm, Qunzai even enthusiastically stated: "The cash is enough!"

Damn it, are you trying to get me caught and locked up abroad just like Li Wen?

Who am I?

I am—the 【Fugitive Nemesis】!

These past few days, Luo Mo has been busy organizing the setlist and conducting a new round of live Arranger work for some of the songs.

In the concerts, the main Singing will certainly still be Chinese songs.

He will do some English songs, but the proportion won't be too exaggerated.

At the same time, Luo Mo will also prioritize arranging songs that are conducive to cultural Output.

Because looking at the Reservation users on overseas ticket-selling platforms, many foreigners have also made ticket-grabbing reservations.

It is not to say that they are all international students, people of Huaxia descent, etc.

Therefore, Luo Mo will prioritize arranging songs like *Lanting Xu*.

As the sun set, Luo Mo took Xu Chujing to a private restaurant.

Today, Hua Jiaqun specifically flew over to invite Luo Mo to dinner, and Chen Luo was also among those invited.

After all, it was Luozai who acted as the go-between back then, which facilitated the cooperation between Luo Mo and Hua Jiaqun.

Luo Mo, this great contributor, might not have had time to participate in the *Peerless* film crew's celebration banquet, so Hua Jiaqun coming over specially could also be considered seeing him off before Luo Mo went abroad.

And it must be said, the dining location he chose was quite elegant.

Luo Mo particularly liked the bamboo forest outside.

At the dinner table, the three men all had a little drink.

During the casual chat, Chen Luo also expressed concern about the setlist for Luo Mo's overseas concerts.

For the vast majority of Singers in the music scene, going abroad to hold concerts is still about wanting to prove their overseas influence.

At the same time, they also want to see if they can hook a wave of foreign fans to thereby increase their international popularity.

Upon learning that Luo Mo had specifically written a few English songs, Chen Luo was actually quite curious and said he would specifically search for the videos to watch when the time came.

Luo Mo took out his phone, opened the setlist in his photo album, and handed it to Chen Luo to look at.

When Chen Luo saw the first opening song, he turned to stone right there at the dinner table.

"Hey! Luozai! Hey!" Hua Jiaqun even reached out and waved in front of him.

What are you looking at? You're stunned just by this?

Chen Luo handed the phone to Hua Jiaqun, letting him see for himself.

Then, after Hua Jiaqun saw the title of the first song, he also looked at Luo Mo with a shocked expression, then looked down at the phone again, and then looked up at Luo Mo again.

You've got to be kidding, choosing this song?

This is way too bold!

At the very top of the setlist, four big characters were written brightly—*Jing Zhong Bao Guo*!

Good heavens, you're going abroad to sing this song as an opener for international students, for overseas Huaxia people, and for foreigners?

Amazing! Your idea is amazing!

With this kind of vision, are you sure you're just going abroad to hold concerts?

Could it be that you are carrying out a secret mission or a sacred duty given to you by the Review Department?

Having already read the *Infernal Affairs* script, Hua Jiaqun looked Luo Mo up and down, his thoughts flying, imagining all sorts of things.

Chen Luo, on the other hand, adapted quickly; Luo Mo was always someone who loved to stir things up, and he was already somewhat used to it.

Regarding this, Chen Luo only voiced a hint of worry from a professional perspective.

"The musical style of this song, foreign audiences probably won't be very interested in it," Chen Luo said.

Whether it is the Singing method or the melody, it is very different from the styles popular over there.

He was worried that the venue wouldn't be able to heat up right away.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo smiled: "Did you forget what is the most powerful thing about our Huaxia cultural Output?"

"Hmm?" Chen Luo didn't react for a moment.

Seeing that he couldn't even think of this, Luo Mo helplessly continued to prompt: "Recall the stage design when I first sang 'Loyal Patriot' at the gala!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's eyes immediately lit up.

On that god-tier stage, there were marching drums, a large drum placed horizontally on the stage the size of a small fighting ring, and also... Luo Mo holding a long sword!

You must know, back then, during the interlude of the song, he did a backflip and landed directly on the large drum that was the size of a small fighting ring!

Then, he danced with the sword on the drum surface, stunning the audience!

It doesn't matter if foreigners don't understand the lyrics.

It doesn't matter if foreigners can't appreciate the musical style.

When the time comes, you all just need to shout loudly for me: "Kung Fu! Kung Fu!"

As soon as Chen Luo imagined this scene, he even got goosebumps.

He smiled helplessly and said: "How about I push back my subsequent schedule, you take me with you, and I'll go abroad to continue being a guest at your concert."

"Want to be a guest now? It's too late! I've already arranged for the most suitable person." Luo Mo looked like he had everything under control, clearly full of confidence regarding the overseas concert.

………

………

The first overseas stop of Luo Mo's world tour was in Chicago, Meiguo.

On May 16th, tickets would officially go on sale on foreign ticketing platforms.

The number of people making a Reservation for tickets was certainly not as exaggerated as it was domestically.

However, looking at this number of reservations, grabbing a ticket would also be a fierce battle!

It's just that, at this moment, everyone was only thinking: "There are too many people from Huaxia, they are simply all over the world!"

"Sigh, at least the probability of grabbing one is higher than domestically!"

"Damn it, can't you guys just stop being fans?"

"I beg you all, go be fans of someone else, let me grab two tickets!"

Once the ticket opening time arrived, they were almost sold out in a second.

A large number of people entered the payment page, but the money just couldn't be paid out because the tickets were already gone.

In an instant, there was wailing and gnashing of teeth abroad as well.

No way around it, Luo Mo's tour was simply too hot.

Although many stages could be seen by searching online, after watching them, everyone would only want to experience it on-site even more.

That atmosphere would definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime!

What's more, this was the first stop of Luo Mo's overseas concert, and the significance was also extraordinary.

The most important thing was, given Luo Mo's temperament, for this kind of special concert, he would likely play with some different designs!

We are old fans, I'm familiar with his tricks!

Moreover, many international students are not short on money at all.

Even if the concert location is very far from the city where they go to school, they are even willing to take a plane to come and see it.

The fact that tickets sold out in a second also caused a small sensation abroad, and many foreign media outlets were reporting on this one after another.

In many reports, they would certainly introduce Luo Mo's many identities.

When introducing the film aspect, some foreign media even mentioned the new Science Fiction film Luo Mo was shooting—The Wandering Earth.

This made Jeffrey, the director of Doomsday Shit 2 who saw the report, frown slightly.

This can even indirectly promote the movie?

At the same time, many foreign media outlets also took screenshots of various music charts in Huaxia.

Using the Hot Song Chart and New Song Chart to inform readers that as long as this Huaxia Singer holds a concert in Huaxia, his various live versions will forcefully dominate the charts!

Jeffrey sneered at this.

Huaxia is your turf, but this is not.

As for those international students and overseas Huaxia people who were lucky enough to grab overseas tickets, what were they thinking?

"It's a good thing Luo Mo has few foreign fans!"

"He hasn't released any English songs, and he has never participated in any activities abroad."

"Yeah, he hasn't even participated in a single foreign program!"

If he wrote English songs as invincibly as he wrote Huaxia songs, there would probably be more foreigners joining the ticket-grabbing army.

By then, wouldn't the probability of grabbing one be about the same as domestically, and we wouldn't have benefited from the geographical advantage.

And the number of concert sessions abroad is much smaller than domestically, and the total ticket volume is even lower!

"Then how can we grab them!" Everyone felt a little lucky.

(PS: Seeking monthly tickets~)
