Chapter 772: The Battle of the Same Name

Chicago, Luo Mo's solo concert.

Although the foreign audience could not understand what this group of Huaxia people were singing, they could hear the power in the singing!

Not only that, they discovered that these people wore expressions of pride and confidence on their faces.

For this portion of foreigners, this was also a very novel experience.

Like Tony, who was sitting next to Ceng Rui; he was originally the subject of Ceng Rui's recording, as he wanted to record a few videos of Tony to post online.

Now, the roles were reversed.

Tony really wanted to record Ceng Rui's current crazy appearance and post it online!

You have to know, this was only the first song! This was the first song of the concert!

That Huaxia Singer on stage had an absurdly strong ability to control the crowd, directly pushing the atmosphere of the venue to its absolute peak!

Of course, there were still a small number of foreigners who felt a bit out of place.

They could not understand the songs, and coupled with cultural differences, it was very difficult for them to integrate.

"Jing Zhong Bao Guo" is also a typical Chinese Style song, but among them, the vast majority didn't know a damn thing about Chinese Style!

Fortunately, Luo Mo is a Singer with a conscience.

Since you all spent money, I must treat everyone equally, right?

Can't understand it with your ears, right?

No problem, then open your eyes wide!

The A-section of the song had already finished at this moment.

The interlude sounded at this point.

The marching drums at the venue sounded again, the drumbeats shaking the heavens.

Luo Mo turned off the microphone in his hand and tossed it to the flag-bearer on the right.

This person then tossed the large red flag in his hand toward Luo Mo.

He caught the microphone, and Luo Mo also grasped the flagpole in one hand.

In an instant, the screaming at the venue erupted: "Ah!!!"

Many people had seen the famous sword-dancing scene of "Jing Zhong Bao Guo" in the CCTV gala.

Now, there was also a large drum placed horizontally on the stage, so everyone knew clearly that Luo Mo would repeat his old trick.

It was just that this time, the long sword had changed into the red flag in his hand!

Seeing Luo Mo amidst the drumbeats, he performed the same movement as in the gala; with a backflip, he landed on the drum surface with ease.

And while flipping, he held the flagpole of the red flag, the massive banner dancing in the air as his body tumbled, carving out a dazzling arc, just like a soaring dragon!

"Holy shit!" Ceng Rui watched this scene with his own eyes and simply couldn't help it.

As for Tony, he was dumbfounded on the side, not even reacting in time to shout that "WTF!"

The eyes of the foreign audience all lit up!

"Kung Fu!" countless foreign audience members began to shout; this was Chinese Kung Fu!

As for the Huaxia people, listening to the excited Shouting of the foreigners, their blood also boiled one by one.

Even though Luo Mo had stated many times in front of the media that he didn't know real martial arts, that what he knew were martial arts routines, mostly for performance... Heh, you're full of it!

——Luo Mo, and you still say you don't know martial arts!

Seeing the red flag in his hand, it was like a long spear.

He danced the red flag on the massive drum surface, giving people a very wondrous visual impact.

The flagpole was like a spear, the spear thrusting like a dragon, incomparably sharp!

But as mentioned before, the red flag was very large, so when it was waved in the air, it appeared a bit slow, unfolding somewhat more slowly.

This formed a strong contrast between fast and slow!

As the drumbeats became faster and faster, Luo Mo directly flicked his wrist, letting the red flag wrap around the flagpole.

Looking at it now, it really looked like pure spear dancing.

There is a saying: a month for the staff, a year for the saber, a lifetime for the spear.

This saying seems to originate from Mr. Lao She's "Broken Soul Spear".

The spear is known as the king of all weapons; the flagpole in Luo Mo's hand was very long, but in his hands, it wasn't abrupt, instead adding a touch of momentum!

The foreign audience watched with goosebumps, their mouths wide open several times, and then they grabbed at their ears in a frenzy.

The Huaxia audience was much better off.

I just love how you guys look like you've never seen the world.

This spear work of Luo Mo's isn't anything rare; this level of martial arts isn't anything amazing.

If I were to stand on stage.

After one move, he would have to take care of me for the rest of my life, crying and begging me: wake up, you bastard.

A not-so-long martial arts performance completely allowed all the audience at the venue to integrate into a unified atmosphere.

It was just burning! It was just passionate!

He conquered everyone just like that, with ease!

After he flipped off the drum and took back the microphone, his voice didn't even sound out of breath.

Others use breath control as one of the standards for a Singing and Dancing Singer's live performance strength.

Clearly, Luo Mo is absurdly strong!

Once the song "Jing Zhong Bao Guo" was finished, the applause at the venue was thunderous!

Luo Mo didn't say a word, but the lights on the stage dimmed.

Listening to the drumbeats starting again, it was the extra-long intro version of "The You of the Past".

On the dim stage, Luo Mo went to the side to pick up an electric guitar.

A staff member came up to take away the large drum that had been placed horizontally on the stage.

Such a long intro for the whole song did feel a bit like showing off one's skills.

The foreign audience was actually enjoying it quite a bit; they hadn't expected this Huaxia Singer to suddenly perform a rock song.

And when Luo Mo sang the first line, it instantly triggered a massive sing-along from the audience!

"【I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword.】"

For some reason, Ceng Rui had an indescribable feeling.

"They might know Chinese Kung Fu, but they probably can't understand what 'Jianghu' means."

They could tell this was rock music, and they might even join in and get hyped.

But they might never understand... what kind of rock song this is!

"It's so explosive! The scene at Luo Mo's Chicago concert is just so fucking explosive!"

After two songs ended, Luo Mo finally started to greet the audience at the venue.

He first said it in Chinese, then said it again in English.

Of course, when he spoke Chinese, it was like he was just chatting.

When speaking English, he completely strove to use the fewest words possible to express his full meaning.

He held the electric guitar and said, "Since I've already picked up the guitar, I thought, why not do another rock song?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were cheers from the venue.

No choice, it was just too hyped earlier, and we haven't had enough yet!

At the same time, everyone recalled that the number of rock songs Luo Mo himself had sung wasn't actually that many.

"Once Upon You" had already brought the atmosphere to this level, so if nothing goes wrong, the next song will be...

——"Blue Lotus"!

Sure enough, Luo Mo opened his mouth and said, " 'Blue Lotus', dedicated to everyone!"

You have to know, it was these two songs that established Luo Mo's status as a strategic partner for Huaxia Petroleum.

You absolutely cannot listen to them while driving; you just can't stop stepping on the gas pedal!

And "Blue Lotus", just like "Once Upon You", is the type that can captivate the audience the moment the singing starts.

Once the first line of lyrics is sung, it will make people fall in love with this song!

"【Nothing can stop me.】" Luo Mo's deep voice spread throughout the entire venue.

Even though the song hadn't reached the hyped-up part yet, the Huaxia audience was already the first to get hyped!

By the time Luo Mo sang the words "【Blue Lotus】", screams erupted everywhere!

After the whole song was finished, Luo Mo's throat was a bit tired, so he decided to chat with the audience for a few more sentences.

He held the microphone and said with a smile, "I won't hide it from you, this is actually my first time going abroad."

"After coming to Chicago, I did see something I couldn't see back home."

"I actually saw a Poster for 'Doomsday Apostle 2'," Luo Mo said.

As soon as these words were spoken, many Huaxia audience members were slightly stunned at first, then realized what he meant.

This sensitive film had caused too much of a stir back then.

It caused a stir at first because much of its content angered countless Huaxia netizens.

Later, it caused a stir because this film team was still brazen enough to mock the general environment of Huaxia Science Fiction, and even said that not being able to see this film was a loss for Huaxia Science Fiction fans.

Please, a film that insulted us was boycotted, and you actually say it's our loss.

What does that mean, are we that cheap?

Of course, the whole incident was pushed to its climax when Luo Mo turned around and announced to the public that he would first throw in 500 million to make a Huaxia Science Fiction film!

Later, he even added another 200 million!

After wave after wave of this, the name of "Doomsday Apostle", a film with zero box office in Huaxia, became known to everyone.

However, who would have thought that Luo Mo would suddenly mention it at a concert.

"Holy crap, what is he going to do?" everyone thought in their hearts.

Is he planning to openly curse a few times during the interaction segment of the concert?

Or will he even do what he did before and start writing a poem to curse them out?

But then, the Huaxia audience thought about it, and that didn't seem to have much meaning either.

"Even if he writes a poem to roast them, this group of foreigners won't understand it anyway."

Some things are easy to translate.

But some things are almost impossible to translate.

Even if you force a translation, it will fall short.

Tony, who was sitting next to Ceng Rui, had seen "Doomsday Apostle" and felt that although this film wasn't a top-tier work among Science Fiction films, it wasn't bad either.

So, he asked Ceng Rui in confusion if there was any problem with this film.

This is actually quite normal; "Doomsday Apostle" being boycotted by Huaxia is known to everyone in Huaxia.

However, the fact that it was boycotted wasn't exactly widely publicized here in Meiguo.

After thinking for a moment, Ceng Rui communicated with Tony in English, informing him of how nauseating this film was.

Actually, he only needed to say the word "discrimination" in English, and Tony would understand instantly.

Luo Mo held the microphone and continued standing on the stage:

"These past few days, I've been in a hotel in Chicago, and I've been sweeping the charts."

"I listened to every single song on the New Song Chart."

"After all, since I'm holding a concert overseas, I have to understand what's popular here and get a feel for everyone's preferences."

"And I have to say, I really did hear a few new songs on the New Song Chart that I personally quite like."

"However, I personally don't like 'Natural,' the theme song for 'Doomsday Apostle 2' that's sitting at number two on the New Song Chart."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted into chaos again.

"Holy crap! How did he just blurt out what he was thinking!"

"Damn it, what's the problem? Is there anything that can't be said?"

"It's just a song, just a movie; are we not even allowed to criticize it?"

"If you repay injury with kindness, then how will you repay kindness?"

"Luo Mo is an Ox!"

"Anyway, I'm not going to the theater to watch 'Doomsday Apostle 2'."

Of course, there were also some people who felt it was a bit strange to talk about these things at a concert.

The main content of a concert is supposed to be Singing, after all.

However, they only heard Luo Mo standing on stage speaking again.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I've come here to hold a concert, I've also prepared some English songs."

"A new English song, for everyone," Luo Mo said, holding an electric guitar.

The next moment, the song title appeared on the big screen.

The audience, upon seeing the song title, instantly widened their eyes; countless people felt that the scene before them was too incredible, too unexpected.

The song title—"Natural"!

Just like the theme song for "Doomsday Apostle 2," it was also called "Natural"!
