Chapter 780: 《We will rock you》

The comprehensive promotion for *The Wandering Earth* had only just begun, yet it had already topped the Hot Search lists across multiple platforms because of "farts, urine, and poop."

This film sparked a great deal of heated discussion and also drew reports from numerous media outlets.

From this content, one can actually see from the sidelines just how grueling it was for the actors to film this movie.

Everyone, just imagine it: wearing costumes weighing dozens or even over a hundred pounds, having to be suspended by wires, and having to complete action sequences—just thinking about it feels exhausting.

However, you must be clear about the current state of the entertainment industry. Netizens actually quite dislike seeing celebrities play the victim.

Everyone's main view is generally: who isn't tired at work, who doesn't live a hard life, but how much do you earn in a day?

But the *The Wandering Earth* crew is different.

Their videos don't give you the feeling of them actively playing the victim, because they are all very funny.

It is clearly a very arduous task, but in the end, it turns into a joke that can give everyone a good laugh.

In this way, the effect is immediately different.

It doesn't trigger resentment in that group of people; instead, it makes everyone think: if I laugh this loudly, am I being a bit inhumane?

But I just can't help it, hahaha!

Wearing diapers inside the exoskeleton mecha.

Wearing a helmet and not daring to fart for fear of suffocating oneself.

Unable to sit down during breaks, having to be suspended in the air the whole time.

This group of handsome guys is simply—beautiful! Strong! And miserable!

This seemingly self-deprecating mode actually raises the audience's expectations and can also stimulate their curiosity.

What kind of movie is it, exactly, that is worth them doing this?

At the same time, everyone can intuitively feel that as the domestic science fiction film with the highest total investment, perhaps this group of people is really, truly putting in their heart and soul?

Some audience members originally thought: "Huaxia science fiction is just a pile of shit; even if it's directed by Luo Mo, Laozi won't watch it."

Now, it has made a small portion of people feel they can hold a "try it and see" attitude and go to the cinema to take a look.

What's more, this is Luo Mo's first time taking the lead, playing the male protagonist in a film.

In the past, he had always played supporting roles in his own films.

No matter what, one has to go and support him.

Adding all these factors together, this film, still over twenty days away from release, has seen its 【Want to Watch】 index on major ticketing platforms soar directly to number one!

And it's a landslide first place!

The films ranked second and third in the 【Want to Watch】 index don't even add up to as much as *The Wandering Earth*.

You have to know, this is the Shuji Dang, where blockbusters gather.

Everything that can be released during the Shuji Dang is a major production.

……..

……..

On the other side, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing are on their way to the final stop in Meiguo.

Over the past few days, due to the battle of the same-named *Natural*, his overseas popularity and influence have both seen a significant boost.

But clearly, Pan Shi Yue Dui, who sang the theme song for *Doomsday Apostle 2*, is not very convinced.

Rock is originally one of the genres we are good at, and what's more, he is a Huaxia person; how could we actually lose to a Huaxia person when it comes to an English song?

Pan Shi Yue Dui is a rising, popular band in Meiguo from the last few years, currently in the ascent phase of their career.

For those still climbing upward, losing this kind of battle of the same-named is absolutely a supreme humiliation.

This will definitely affect their commercial value, their status in the music scene, and their future development.

Even if they become the greatest rock band in Meiguo history in the future, this shame will always exist.

When facing media interviews, the reply from the lead singer and lyricist of Pan Shi Yue Dui was quite interesting.

He hinted subtly that Luo Mo winning this time was actually nothing special.

Their song *Natural* was tailor-made for the film, so they were very restricted during the creative process.

Whether it was the lyrics or the melody, or even the singing style, everything was to fit the plot of the film and match the visuals of the film.

In other words, the creation was done within various limitations, within shackles.

Rock shouldn't be like this.

However, from the perspective of a film theme song alone, he feels his *Natural* is a very good work.

Of course, next I will create even better rock works and bring an even more explosive stage performance.

Besides this, he also stated that in Luo Mo's *Natural*, he could see the shadows of many European and American rock bands.

This was a bit passive-aggressive.

After seeing this interview, Luo Mo really wanted to sneer: "Laughable. If there are shadows, they are the shadows of Earth; what does it have to do with your Blue Star bands?"

Furthermore, Dream Theater is a band with a very distinct personal style and is very unique; as one of their representative works, *Natural*, this is actually a bit of a forced smear.

They are just bullying him for being a Huaxia person from Blue Star, insisting on putting on a condescending posture, feeling that if we achieved some level of success, it must be because we are standing on the shoulders of you giants.

Honestly, Luo Mo had no intention of waiting for Pan Shi Yue Dui to release a new song just to release one to compete with them from afar.

What a joke, a second-rate band from Meiguo, are you worthy of someone like me, a MusicGodfather of the music scene and an Asia Heavenly King, spending so much energy?

Luo Mo felt that this matter was actually easy to handle.

That is, before leaving Meiguo, leave behind another rock work.

Leave behind a work that makes people feel awe-struck.

Leave behind a work that, whenever he thinks of it while creating rock music in the future, he will be trapped, a work that will become his lifelong nightmare!

Upon learning that Luo Mo would leave behind another new rock song at tonight's concert, Xu Chujing was a little surprised.

"There's no time for rehearsals, right?" Xu Chujing said.

As for Luo Mo's own creation, he certainly had his own interpretation of it.

However, could the live band keep up, and would they have enough time to familiarize themselves with this song and present the best effect on stage?

After all, today's schedule was very tight, and looking at the time, it was indeed a bit rushed.

"It's fine, this song is very special; I don't need our band to accompany me," Luo Mo said with a smile.

"How so?" Xu Chujing was a bit curious and asked further.

"Because when the time comes, everyone at the venue will be my band!" Luo Mo said, keeping them in suspense.

……..

……..

Luo Mo's final concert in Meiguo was naturally highly anticipated.

Outside the venue, there were even quite a few media reporters gathered.

They wanted to wait until the concert ended to pull a few audience members for interviews and ask about their feelings after watching the concert.

These reporters, staying outside the venue, could also hear the commotion inside.

At first, it all seemed quite normal, no different from the previous concerts.

It was just that they would change some vocabulary to curse the "Doomsday Apostle"……..

Throughout the concert, right up until the shouts of "Luo Mo, work overtime!" rang out inside, there was nothing special.

Until…….. after he returned for an encore, he announced that he would leave behind a new song at the end!

The media outside the venue instantly perked up.

But who would have thought that, not long after, they would have a very terrifying feeling.

"Is the ground shaking?"

"I even feel like the entire concert venue is trembling!"

"Oh my god! It's really shaking!"

Listening to the singing and feeling this tremor, they just felt that the scene must have been incredibly hyped!

Yes, the scene was indeed incredibly hyped.

Because Luo Mo brought a song that all the audience members could participate in.

An interactive rock piece.

This song came from a Legend band on Earth.

This band was later made into a movie, and the movie was called "Bohemian Rhapsody".

The film won awards such as the Oscar for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

Many people said that they only spent the price of one movie ticket, yet they watched a soul-shaking concert.

This band was—Queen (Huang Hou Yue Dui).

It is recognized globally as one of the greatest bands in history.

At the same time, this band also had a very legendary point, which was that there were many top students in the band.

Especially the guitarist Brian May; he is a physicist and also a university president……

As for the Main Vocalist Freddie Mercury, he always liked to go shirtless, wear a pair of trunks, drape a towel around his neck, and tie on a bright red scarf before going on stage to hold a concert.

If you took away the bright red scarf, it would really look like he just came out of a bathhouse.

Therefore, they were also jokingly called by many: a Bathhouse-level Band.

And don't even get me started, the butt was really perky.

Flamboyant movement, minimalist equipment, confident expressions, full-bodied strides, a bright red scarf……. yet in the end, it presented a god-tier live stage!

Of course, what Luo Mo could achieve might only be putting on the red scarf.

After this concert of Luo Mo's ended, the media reporters went to interview the departing audience.

Many people said: "This final song is the most shocking rock performance I have felt in recent years!"

"Once you watch the video online, you'll know!"

In fact, the development of the situation was indeed so.

Luo Mo had already finished his tour in Meiguo; one could say he left after the deed was done, hiding his merit and fame.

Yet, he left behind a legendary rock performance on the entire internet!

Late at night, the Main Vocalist of Pan Shi Yue Dui was locking himself in his room to work on a new song.

He was now determined to cross swords with Luo Mo as soon as possible and wash away his previous shame!

Just at this moment, his phone rang; it was the band's guitarist sending him a video.

This video was very long; as soon as it opened, the stage was empty, yet the whole venue was shouting: "Luo Mo! Work overtime!"

Hmm, for a forbidden-spell-level "casting," a longer warm-up period in the early stages is normal.

One could see Luo Mo returning to the stage amidst the audience's calls, and then he said a string of Chinese that he couldn't understand.

This video hadn't even had subtitles added yet.

But Luo Mo was very thoughtful.

After he spoke Chinese for three minutes, he didn't forget to use a word in English to tell everyone it was a new song.

Immediately after, the musicians who had been accompanying him all night were invited onto the stage.

But what was surprising was that no one brought any Yueqi.

Luo Mo began to signal the entire audience to do the same thing along with them.

That was, in the same rhythm, to first stomp their feet twice, then clap their hands once, making a "stomp-stomp-clap" sound.

Luo Mo and the musicians stood on stage together, taking the lead.

The drummer sat back down, using the drum sound to reinforce the sound of the stomping.

Once the entire venue was energized, the song title began to appear on the big screen.

——《We will rock you》。

Honestly, this is a bold name!

There is a translation called "We will shake you"!

Most people wouldn't dare choose a song title of this type.

Especially when performing it for the first time at a concert.

The song title tells you right away: "I'm going to hit you with a big move in a moment!"

With everyone mentally prepared, if it fails to shock them, it becomes a laughingstock.

The Main Vocalist of Pan Shi Yue Dui, watching the video, was actually filled with confusion.

Could it be... that there really is no accompaniment from other musicians?

Yes, there is none!

If there really is any, it is all the audience members at the scene!

This song is accompanied by ten thousand people!

"Stomp! Stomp! Clap!"

"Stomp! Stomp! Clap!"

"Stomp! Stomp! Clap!"

This sound alone was enough to give people goosebumps.

Tens of thousands of people, in a unified rhythm, were stomping their feet and clapping their hands!

This caused the drum beats guiding the performance on stage to be somewhat drowned out!

Luo Mo held the microphone, walking casually left and right on the stage.

He nodded slightly to the rhythm, and only after feeling that everyone had mastered this simple beat did he suddenly begin Singing.

"【Buddy you're a boy make a big noise...

(Buddy, you're a boy who only knows how to make a big noise...)】"

A heaven-sent voice and an unrivaled, powerful live Singing ability made this song explosive from the very beginning!

What was magical was that the simple and repetitive stomping and clapping of ten thousand people at the scene, far from detracting from the song, actually made people feel truly shocked!

After Luo Mo sang the line "【Singing】", the climax of the song began to emerge.

Its chorus climax was also very simple and very repetitive.

"【We will, we will, rock you!】"

It was just such a simple sentence, yet after repeating it twice, the Main Vocalist of Pan Shi Yue Dui felt his scalp tingle!

The most terrifying thing was that he had actually already guessed what it would develop into later.

Before the song even started, the interaction had already begun, and all the audience members at the scene had already been mobilized.

And since the climax of this song was so simple, he reckoned everyone would soon join in and spontaneously start Singing along!

Although Luo Mo stood on stage, coordinating with a few backing vocalists to Sing, those few people had already produced the momentum of hundreds.

However, this was not enough! Far from enough!

By the time the song entered the B-section chorus, the audience at the scene was truly all spontaneously Singing along.

They stomped their feet, clapped their hands, and sang loudly: "【We will, we will, rock you!】"

That "【sing it】" from Luo Mo before the climax was like issuing a command!

How... how could it be done like this?

A concert could actually be done like this!

Is rock really just about being rowdy?

It is not just that!

This kind of live appeal, this kind of unrivaled ability to control the stage, and this kind of inspiring Singing, it is hard to imagine that it was created by a person from Huaxia on the soil of Meiguo!

The Main Vocalist of Pan Shi Yue Dui felt his scalp go numb by the end of it.

After watching the entire video, he asked himself: could he do it? Could he display such a terrifying live performance?

It was as if the entire venue was shaking! The whole earth was trembling!

He knew very clearly that he could not do it.

He could not think of such creativity, could not think of interacting with everyone like this, could not think of making ten thousand people at the scene his own musicians, and he did not have such strong stage control and command.

They say rock is all about the live performance, and Luo Mo's live performance was absolutely explosive!

The Main Vocalist of Pan Shi Yue Dui sat dejectedly on his chair, and after closing the video, he took a look at the half-finished song he had just created.

He had originally felt it was very rowdy and high-energy.

Now, for some reason, he couldn't help but think of the first line of Luo Mo's song.

It was like a knife plunged into the bottom of his heart!

"【Buddy you're a boy make a big noise!

(Buddy, you're a boy who only knows how to make a big noise)!】"
