Chapter 773: A Man's Battle
The moment the song title appeared on the giant screen, a mountain-toppling, sea-draining roar of screams erupted instantly throughout the venue.
Countless people began picking up their phones to take photos and record videos.
As expected, Luo Mo is still that same Luo Mo!
How could he possibly just stop at scolding "Doomsday Apostle" a few times during his concert?
If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price!
Since you are in your promotional period, and your theme song has even climbed the New Song Chart.
Then, I will knock you down!
Furthermore, I will use the exact same song title to stage a battle of the same name!
Huaxia audience members were, at this moment, engaging in all sorts of wild imaginings.
"Could he have written a song with the same title on the fly?"
"Holy crap, an English song!"
Some even recalled the famous meme from "Charlotte Troubles," automatically translating it in their minds to: "So you're the motherfucker named 'Natural'!"
It is very strange, as Luo Mo had not really written many English songs before.
Even though this is their home turf, and the band singing the theme song for "Doomsday Apostle 2" is quite popular.
Yet, surprisingly, no one thought Luo Mo would lose!
Because all this time, he has created too many miracles.
Whenever you feel this person is a bit too arrogant, reality will slap you in the face.
As long as he keeps winning, that is not called arrogance, and it doesn't even count as conceit.
It is simply a very straightforward confidence in his own strength.
As for the foreign audience, they were shocked beyond measure!
They felt as if they had just come to watch a concert and ended up stumbling upon a massive piece of gossip!
Big news, this is definitely going to be big news!
This young Huaxia Singer is effectively challenging the team and company behind "Doomsday Apostle 2" in public, and also openly challenging the band that sang the theme song!
Even more outrageous is that he intends to use an English song.
Honestly, they felt the scene before them was too crazy.
Giving two songs the same name, that feeling of tit-for-tat could be said to have been crafted to the extreme.
If he wins, then that is truly Ox!
But if he loses, he will truly become a clown.
Even though a group of Huaxia audience members were cheering and Shouting, in their hearts, there was still a bit of self-indulgence involved.
The theme song for "Doomsday Apostle 2," "Natural," is quite popular and has a high level of buzz.
That band is also a rock band that has been very popular in recent years.
And judging from the situation on stage, Luo Mo is even holding an electric guitar.
So... he also intends to sing a rock song?
That means not only did the names collide, but the musical style collided as well!
—Coming on aggressively!
The Huaxia audience members were all incredibly expectant of this song.
Because they were all holding back a breath of frustration in their hearts.
In the minds of many, the team behind the "Doomsday Apostle" series is truly very despicable.
Yet, the first installment happened to make money, which is why they filmed a second one.
Even though Huaxia boycotted this film and did not let it be released, its box office was still not bad, completely meeting the team's initial psychological expectations.
Precisely because of this, the investment in "Doomsday Apostle 2" is even larger than the first.
This has made the faces of people like director Jeffrey look even uglier.
If Luo Mo's song can suppress them, it would certainly make people feel gratified.
After all, the cinematic clash between "The Wandering Earth" and "Doomsday Apostle 2" is still some time away.
Being able to slap their faces now is something we also find satisfying.
"This song better not flop, otherwise, it would be embarrassing all the way abroad," many thought to themselves.
Luo Mo was seen adjusting the height of the microphone stand, fixing the microphone in the most suitable position.
This song does not have much of an extraneous prelude.
The music and the vocals began almost simultaneously.
Amidst the Yueqi sounds, the first thing they heard was a very low, deep, yet slightly psychedelic chant.
The chanting here is quite marvelous, instantly establishing the atmosphere of the entire song.
Many people, just by listening to this chant, already felt their scalps tingle and started getting goosebumps.
Tony, who was sitting next to Ceng Rui, had his eyes light up immediately.
"I like it!" he said loudly to Ceng Rui.
The chanting here gives one a solemn and grave feeling, yet it also possesses a hazy, psychedelic quality.
The image that came to Ceng Rui's mind was a Church shrouded in mist.
And amidst the chanting of the backup singers on stage, Luo Mo began to sing.
"【Will you hold the line,
(You whether will hold the line)
When everyone of them is giving up or giving in...
(When everyone stopped trying and chose to give up.)"
Once the singing started, paired with the chanting of the backing vocalists, the feeling emerged all at once!
Overall, the sense of rhythm is very strong.
And Luo Mo's singing, along with this chanting, completely covers the sound of the Yueqi.
From the current perspective, the whole song doesn't have a very fiery or explosive feeling.
But its musical style is very unique, and the composition is also very interesting.
The original singer of this song is a big-hit band on Earth—Imagine Dragons.
This band has a very obvious characteristic, which is that their live performances blow the roof off.
Drums have always been one of the band's trademarks.
Right now, it is just laying the groundwork; before the drum kit joins in, it is using a narrative approach to first highlight the 【vocals】.
Since the concert location is Chicago, Meiguo, the vast majority of the audience can actually understand what Luo Mo is singing.
Of course, don't disbelieve it, there are people among the international students whose English is trash.
But for most people, this song is still easy to understand.
And when Luo Mo sang a certain line of content, everyone began to understand the song title.
"【Cause this house of mine stands strong.】"
Combined with the preceding and following content, the meaning expressed is actually: And I have no scruples, because my kingdom will stand eternally!
How should I put it... there is somewhat of an arrogant air in it.
Luo Mo's musical kingdom has long since been recognized by everyone.
But looking at your stance, are you planning to move the city walls outward and claim a bit more land?
Just after this sentence was sung, the pitch of the entire song had its first elevation!
"【That's the price you pay!"
(This is the price you have to pay!)】"
The chanting began to become a bit lighter, and then, the sound of a keyboard was added in.
This push makes the layering of the song become stronger.
However, at this moment, it is still highlighting the vocals as much as possible.
This is a huge challenge for live singing ability.
The appearance of the high notes made many people start to feel that this song is very fiery and explosive.
But, is this enough?
It is merely a small display of skill, like an Ox showing its strength.
Here, it is still just an appetizer.
Do you think its level of explosiveness is already comparable to the theme song of "Doomsday Apostle 2"?
Then, let me let you properly witness where the charm of this song really lies.
"【Rather be the hunter than the prey."
(Stop scurrying like prey, you must take the initiative to attack like a hunter!)】"
Whether it is the content or Luo Mo's full-bodied, vigorous, and powerful high notes, it all makes the audience feel incredibly refreshed and their blood boil!
He on the stage, isn't he taking the initiative to attack right now?
He has already aimed at "Doomsday Apostle 2".
Regardless of whether you think he is overestimating his capabilities or is arrogant and conceited.
He has already started to attack!
The chorus part of the song is about to begin immediately.
And the soul of this song, the drum kit, is also about to join in.
The charm of a band lies not only in the Main Vocalist, but also in the instrumentalists.
Many foreign audience members have also been captured by this song.
They are listening very seriously.
Then, it is time to assault your eardrums!
"【And you are standing on the edge,"
(Now you are standing on the edge of a cliff)
Face up 'cause you're a
(Lift your head to face it, because you—)
Natural!
(Born this way!)】"
The drum kit instantly detonated the audience's eardrums, and Luo Mo also displayed his Angry Voice at this moment!
Previously, when he first sang "Fake Monk" in Huaxia, he had already revealed his foundation in the Angry Voice.
But the power displayed this time is stronger and fiercer than the last time!
Because what this song highlights is this sense of power!
Once the chorus climax was sung out, the impact was terrifyingly fierce.
The scene was completely boiling; there was a feeling of a sudden thunderclap on flat ground, directly exploding!
That feeling that makes my scalp fly off in a frenzy has returned!
It's too fiery, the chorus climax is really too fiery!
Many people even felt that what they were waving was no longer just glow sticks.
If this isn't a lightsaber, then what the hell is it?
You have to know, if you put on headphones and turn up the volume, and you feel this song is truly too lit and too badass, then the feeling of listening to it live is absolutely doubled!
Many people's breathing became rapid as they listened, their blood began to surge, and their faces flushed bright red.
The moment Luo Mo sang the chorus climax, he suddenly took the microphone off the stand.
It can be said that with the Angry Voice paired with this action of his, mobilizing the atmosphere of the venue was truly too easy.
There was already absolutely no one thinking about: can we beat the Doomsday Apostle or not?
Right now, everyone had already been ignited to the point of "losing their reason."
"The Doomsday Apostle is worth shit!"
"The hell with it, everyone fight for Laozi!"
"Roll over them, just roll right over them!"
This is a song with exploding hormones.
Its high-octane style also made many hot comments both energetic and outrageous.
"Don't ever listen to this song while doing homework; I did it for two hours, didn't get anything done, just felt that I was particularly badass!"
"Too lit, I feel like I can beat up my dad!"
"After listening, I punched an Ox until it fainted, and plowed two acres of land all by myself!"
This song is used by many people on Earth as background music for various high-octane game montages.
Anyway, as long as it's a place that needs to be lit, its compatibility is extremely high!
One could see Luo Mo displaying an extremely terrifying tension on stage, full of wildness.
The Angry Voice, full of roaring, allowed all the emotional buildup from before to be vented at this moment.
Progressive—progressive—explosion!
It was as if the water level in front of a dam was rising, rising, rising.
But in the end, it didn't just overflow.
Instead, the dam was directly destroyed, shattered, and then it surged out!
The sound of the drum kit was fierce, giving people a sense of trembling in their souls.
Are they hitting drums?
They're hitting my skull; I feel like my brain is about to explode!
Luo Mo stood on stage and sang both the A-section and B-section of the song.
After finishing the chorus once again, his pitch began to drop, and the sound of the Yueqi on stage was not as impassioned as before, beginning to have a sense of falling, a sense of immersion.
The entire singing style was a bit like whispering.
Looking at the structure of the song, it didn't directly repeat the climax several times here, but adopted this kind of transformation, which is actually a bit like an interrogation of one's own heart.
This sound of inner interrogation actually gave the live audience a chance to catch their breath.
In the past, everyone complained that a song's live performance wasn't explosive enough.
But when it came to Luo Mo, it turned into being too explosive, and everyone couldn't quite recover.
In this whispering style of singing, Luo Mo used a very flat tone to sing:
"【I'm gonna make it.
(I will succeed).】"
Immediately following, without anyone having any psychological preparation, he repeated this line of lyrics again.
This time, it was no longer a whisper, no longer an inner interrogation.
Instead, it was sung with a sense of certainty!
The entire pitch, the entire degree of resonance and power, was directly comparable to the previous climax!
Many foreign fans who knew little about Luo Mo understood at this moment why he dared to openly challenge "Doomsday Apostle."
They had already completely felt the sense of power in this song.
Everyone had changed from "How does he dare?" to "He absolutely dares!"
Damn it, a man has to fight!
In the audience, the internet celebrity rich kid Ceng Rui had already been completely conquered.
Sure enough, whatever Luo Mo produces must be a high-quality product.
You don't need to care whether he has tried this type of song before.
Anyway, as long as he dares to sing it, then it absolutely won't be bad!
He dared to sing such a song, dared to directly bring up "Doomsday Apostle" before singing, perhaps because he had a lot of confidence.
Honestly, the titles of the two songs are the same; whether he mentions "Doomsday Apostle" or not, it's the same.
Everyone will compare them anyway, everyone will let their imaginations run wild anyway, and everyone will firmly believe—this is absolutely not a coincidence.
However, why bother with a shadow war?
Why bother clashing in the dark?
Luo Mo just wanted to make it clear, just wanted to put everything out in the open, just wanted to tell you: I wrote this song, I sang this song, and I am coming straight for you!
——I don't need to have so many taboos to beat you!
Before Luo Mo officially started singing, Ceng Rui asked Tony in English, asking this foreign friend: "how about this song?"
Here, he was naturally referring to the theme song of "Doomsday Apostle 2."
He hadn't heard this song, so he asked casually, to know oneself and the enemy.
Tony told him it sounded very good.
He could feel that this newly met Huaxia friend had trust in Luo Mo, but still had a tiny bit of uncertainty in his heart.
But what about now?
Ceng Rui's mindset had completely changed, and he seemed to have become more direct as well; he asked Tony the same question in English once again, but the song he was referring to in his words had changed to this song by Luo Mo.
"How about this song?"
For the same question, the tone and inflection he used were entirely different.
The previous sentence was a genuine inquiry, while this one was no longer an inquiry, but carried a different meaning.
Tony, who was waving his glow stick frantically, used the Chinese he had just learned from Ceng Rui to answer his question loudly.
"Awesome! Awesome!!!"
