Chapter 90: Luo Mo's Motto

A song, "Chasing Dreams Red Heart," along with the text on the big screen, completely ignited the emotions of all the audience members.

The infectious power of a song was also manifested at this moment.

Some songs are just strange; you might be tired of hearing them, or even tired of seeing them on other platforms.

But suddenly one day, you hear it again, or see it again in certain settings, and it can still stir your emotions.

The song "Chasing Dreams Red Heart" might feel a little unfamiliar at first, but if the emotions are in place and the atmosphere is built up, it is a bomb!

It doesn't just detonate the ears, but also the nerves.

On Earth, many people have truly been inspired by this song.

This man dressed in black stood alone on the stage, and after the song ended, he placed the microphone in his hand back onto the mic stand.

He bowed to the audience, which served as his curtain call for today's performance.

Responding to him was thunderous applause.

The enthusiasm of the audience far exceeded that for any of the previous trainees.

And interestingly, logically speaking, after this encore segment where glory is crowned, the first place should be announced as forming the group, and then debuting in the C-Position.

But Luo Mo, who had no group formation agreement, although he reached the top of the 【Popularity Support Ranking】 by a landslide, the group formation spots still had to be deferred.

Xingshi Entertainment and several other companies, although they obtained the debut spots they dreamed of, were still somewhat embarrassed.

And for Pineapple Entertainment, in order to create the number one traffic boy group in the country, Wang Shisong brought out so many resources and projects, only to end up with a defective product!

The female host and Ning Dan went on stage together; what was to be announced next was the group formation list.

Wearing a professional suit and having specifically put on a pair of thin high heels today, Run Jie had her plump red lips slightly curled up as she smiled at Luo Mo.

She walked straight to Luo Mo's side to read out the group formation list.

"Congratulations to Xu Mingtian of Tianxing Entertainment for winning a debut spot with a tenth-place finish!"

Ning Dan began reading from tenth place, and then the trainee whose name was called by her would walk from the backstage passage toward the stage.

According to the procedure, they had to give a choked-up speech to the fans, and then thank the production team and the company boss.

It was just that when this tenth-place trainee went on stage, his body was stiff.

Strictly speaking, everyone in this soon-to-be-formed boy group was in an awkward position. But if you had to say who was the most awkward, it was definitely Shen Mingliu, who debuted in the C-Position, and this tenth-place trainee who was added in.

Of course, for him, being able to debut was better than not debuting; those resources and projects were right there, life was still long, and perhaps there would be a chance to pick back up the Face he had lost.

However, when he went on stage, the reaction of the whole venue was not enthusiastic; the fact that the audience didn't boo was already considered very polite and well-mannered.

——You are unworthy of your positions!

Following that, it was eighth place, seventh place...

Luo Mo stood next to Ning Dan, and because they were standing relatively close, he could clearly smell the scent on this Run Jie who had always been looking out for him.

It smelled good, not that kind of cloying, sweet scent.

Then, he started zoning out again.

This scene was as if they had returned to the initial stage.

The camera occasionally swept toward Luo Mo, and the bullet comments in the Live Broadcast instantly became lively.

"He's slacking off on the clock again!"

"Luo Mo, wake up, this is the grand finale, you're still at work!"

"Damn! He's showing off again!"

"Shocking! Someone is openly slacking off in front of ten thousand live audience members and countless viewers; is this the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality behind it all?"

"To the person above, don't you know bullet comments can't be that long? It's all ellipses!"

The silly netizens started setting the pace again, causing a joyful atmosphere to spread.

Everyone's focus and topics always revolved around Luo Mo.

As for those "Congratulations to xx for a successful debut" bullet comments, they were drowned in the ocean.

Your idol debuted, what does that have to do with me?

Everyone is using memes? Good fellow, count me in!

What the audience found most amusing was that Ning Dan, strictly speaking, was also Luo Mo's boss in "Creating Idols," and she was the one who paid Luo Mo's salary.

The boss is right by your side, and you're still daydreaming on the spot; an awesome worker really has the confidence!

The most ridiculous thing was that, under the pacing of the silly netizens, the trend became increasingly bizarre.

A crowd of audience members expressed that they also wanted to slack off and zone out.

Whenever a trainee went on stage to announce their group formation acceptance speech, the bullet comments were all in unison: "I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"

That is really damn mean.

One trainee after another went on stage, and finally, it was the turn of today's "protagonist," Shen Mingliu.

He was seen having specifically changed into his performance outfit from the initial stage, wanting to give the fans a wave of nostalgia.

It was just a pity that the whole venue was still lit with white lights, and the Strangers were still gathered into a brilliant galaxy.

This made Shen Mingliu unable to help but curse in his heart that technological development was too fast, and these mobile phone batteries were too durable!

By the time Shen Mingliu finished reading his acceptance speech and stated that he would become a competent C-Position and leader, the applause responding to him also seemed somewhat fragmented.

Ning Dan was seen holding the microphone and saying: "I, in the capacity of the General Director of 'Creating Idols,' announce that the nine-member boy group NINE-T has officially debuted!"

"'Creating Idols' grand finale, ends here!"

As soon as her voice fell, fireworks rose and exploded in the air.

The machines on the stage also began to operate, with some spraying mist and others spraying fireworks.

As for above the stage, shiny golden paper scraps began to fall.

Countless golden paper scraps descended from the sky, gathering into a golden rain.

Under such a spectacular celebratory scene, the nine members who debuted raised their hands, placed them on the shoulders of their teammates beside them, and shouted the name of their group.

But in reality, the audience's gaze was deeply drawn to a Back Shadow.

Over there, nine people hugged each other, looking up and shouting the group name, gazing together at the golden rain filling the sky.

On the other side, the man wearing a black suit turned around under the golden rain and walked toward the backstage alone.

Everything formed a stark contrast.

This Back Shadow was deeply imprinted into the eyes of the audience.

Many people, not knowing why, could not help but take a screenshot of this scene.

Perhaps many years later, this would still be an iconic image talked about by countless people.

………

………

At the mentor seats, the five celebrity mentors were also standing up, applauding.

However, the gazes of the five always unconsciously converged on that Back Shadow.

This made it seem as if they were looking at him, applauding for him.

Shen Yinuo looked at Luo Mo, who was striding toward the backstage, and said in her heart: "Don't worry, this young lady will cover you as much as I can in the future. Who told you to be the first person I signed? Such a precious first time! Whoever bullies you, I'll beat them to death!"

Jiang Ningxi, however, felt that the scene before her was very stinging, and her emotions were a bit out of control.

And when a person can control your emotions, then... you must be careful.

Xu Chujing, standing in the center of the five, slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Not knowing why, she turned her head and glanced at the VIP room.

As for the feedback from the audience, it caused this talent show to head in an even more bizarre direction.

Logically speaking, with nine people forming a group, at this moment everyone should be shouting the group name, shouting 【Nine-T】.

But in reality, the number of people shouting this group name was not necessarily greater than those shouting Luo Mo's name.

Under the repeated shouts of the Strangers, the true king on this stage walked into the backstage passage and disappeared completely.

Has he left? Did he just leave like this?

Just at this moment, the big screen on the stage began a montage of memories.

Some clips edited from the show began to play on the big screen.

Many people appeared in it, as did many scenes from the previous episodes; naturally, Luo Mo was among them, and there were quite a few shots of him.

Finally, it began to play a segment that had been recorded in advance.

From the very beginning of the show, whenever each trainee went on stage, the trainee's 【Motto】 would be written on the screen.

During the recording of the show, every time the trainees' rankings were announced, the contestants in the top nine had to include a segment where they recited their own Motto.

When Ning Dan first created this design, she wanted to create the sense that the trainees were constantly persevering, constantly struggling, and constantly improving for their dreams.

And it must be said, this segment always had a good reputation; many people felt it was very fiery and explosive!

As for the Motto, many people chose some grand and imposing sentences.

On the big screen, the first to be played was the scene of the tenth-place trainee reciting their Motto to the camera.

Under the reflection of the golden rain and fireworks filling the sky, it felt quite atmospheric.

Immediately following were the eighth place, the seventh place... the second place.

Many audience members thought it should end here.

After all, Luo Mo didn't form the group.

And to be honest, Luo Mo's Motto really made people unable to laugh or cry.

Everyone couldn't understand what it meant, feeling that this guy was just here to make friends.

Bullying people while getting paid was one thing, but he was also making friends while getting paid; those who didn't know would think he was here at the show for a team-building exercise.

But as Luo Mo's Run Jie, how could Director Ning Dan possibly cut him out of this segment?

Therefore, at the very end of the entire Live Broadcast, what played on the big screen was Luo Mo!

The Live Broadcast of the grand finale of 【Creating Idols】 had twenty seconds left.

On the big screen above the stage, and in the Live Broadcast feed watched by the audience, the pre-recorded segment regarding Luo Mo's Motto was played.

This young man looked at the camera with a relaxed smile on his face.

And the words he said next brought the scene and the Live Broadcast to their final climax.

"Luo Mo, recite your Motto one last time." In the voice-over, this was the voice of Director Ning Dan.

And only in Luo Mo's interview footage did the voice of this General Director appear.

Facing the camera, Luo Mo nodded, then said word by word:

"【Do not worry that you have no bosom friends on the road ahead, for there is no one under heaven who does not know you.】"

The screen went dark, and the Live Broadcast ended.

This man who won the championship had still not officially debuted.

【Creating Idols】 could not contain his ambition!
