Chapter 95: Future Planning

Time flew by, and Luo Mo had already stayed at home for three days.

During these three days, Luo Ba and Luo Ma raised him like a pig, changing up the styles of the sumptuous dishes they made every day, which severely affected Luo Mo's physique management.

Besides that, Luo Mo also felt a fatigue that exceeded that of *Creating Idols*, which was having to endure Liu Shixiong's antics and accompany his master, that terrible chess player, in a game.

This made Luo Mo wonder if he was sick, because such a thought actually popped into his mind—I want to go to work!

At night, Luo Mo's phone rang a few times; it was a notification from a group chat.

Shen Yinuo had started a three-person group that also included him and Jiang Ningxi.

For the past few days, the two women would record the chorus part of *Daughter Kingdom* every day and send it to Luo Mo, the lyricist, composer, and producer, for him to evaluate and oversee.

The content of the videos Jiang Ningxi sent never showed her face, but Shen Yinuo was different; not only would she show her face, but after finishing, this energetic girl would also make a few funny expressions.

After putting on his headphones and listening, Luo Mo nodded slightly.

"It's about there, it's got that flavor," Luo Mo replied in the group.

These days, if one is making a girl group with sincerity, they still care a lot about professional ability.

Although *Aurora Girls* cannot be called the top girl group in the country, at least their current momentum and attitude are quite good; there is no such state of declining professional ability while being solely busy with cashing in.

It's just that the original singer of this song is very top-tier in terms of vocal ability, so Luo Mo's requirements for them will be extra strict.

Relatively speaking, Xu Chujing, the powerful diva, is certainly more worry-free.

The vocal version of *Daughter's Love* she bought will likely not take long to be recorded into a perfect version.

By the way, Xu Chujing had also invited Luo Mo to make a cameo in *Cat Demon*, but she also knew that Luo Mo had to accompany his family recently and was busy with studio matters, so she didn't urge him.

Anyway, it was just a cameo, and it wouldn't have many scenes.

At this time, Shen Yinuo asked in the group: "Luo Mo, when are you coming to Shanghai?"

Jiang Ningxi was silently lurking in the group, not following up with questions, but she was extremely concerned about the chat content.

She was the type of person who read every single line of the group chat but rarely spoke, a lurker who watched the screen.

"Tomorrow," Luo Mo said.

Shen Yinuo sent an OK emoji and then said: "The company has already pulled together the temporary team for your studio; they are all people pulled from the company for you."

"The publicity team, marketing team, public relations team... anyway, personnel have been dispatched for you, and they are all quite reliable and responsible."

"You use them for now, and you can replace them with your own core team later."

"How about it, isn't that decent of me?" The vain Shen Yinuo sent another custom GIF of herself, the kind that winks and shoots electricity.

"Thank President Shen for me," Luo Mo replied.

It must be said that Xinyu has indeed shown its sincerity in cooperation in every aspect.

With the studio newly established, Luo Mo certainly couldn't build a mature core team in a short time.

So, Xinyu sent people to fill in first, and when the time comes, they can just hand over to the team Luo Mo builds himself, without affecting his autonomy.

Of course, Luo Mo has to pay the salaries of these people out of his own pocket.

"Still have to make money," Luo Mo smiled.

The major music platforms in this world are all fee-based.

Listening to a song once costs one cent, you can loop it three times, and downloading it costs ten cents.

Then, depending on the different levels of cooperation with the singer, the revenue sharing is also different.

For someone at Xu Chujing's level, if exclusive rights are granted, the music platform might even take almost no cut, only taking a tiny bit for operation and maintenance costs.

The copyrights for those songs by the Anonymous Team in *Creating Idols* are all in Luo Mo's own hands, and he can release official versions.

This world also has *Digital Album*s, just like on Earth; a song costs about 2 yuan, and fans who buy the digital album will get things like nameplates, and you can buy as many as you want.

It happens that a fan buys hundreds or thousands of digital albums.

Luo Mo hadn't thought about this form.

Not talking about other levels, let's just talk about his own development.

Everyone is still in the initial stage now; although popularity is high, works are few.

Releasing digital albums is equivalent to trapping oneself, shrinking the number of listeners, which is not conducive to the works breaking out of the circle.

And in fact, if the work is truly popular enough, truly of extremely high quality, and fits the market, going for volume is actually a better choice.

Just at this moment, Luo Mo suddenly remembered a serious matter.

He tagged Shen Yinuo in the group and asked: "Has Xinyu been in contact with the animation industry?"

Shen Yinuo wasn't busy now and replied instantly: "Wow, Luo Mo, have you been investigating our company these past few days? How did you know the company just reached its hand into animation recently?"

"Is that so? Tell me more," Luo Mo said.

Shen Yinuo simply sent a voice message, saying: "Actually, it's just that we bought a studio. This studio has always made those children's animations, and then a while ago they transformed, wanting to make something for all ages, since the animation market is actually quite prosperous recently, but the transformation failed."

Listening to the voice message, Luo Mo nodded slightly.

This world is a bit like Earth before its explosive development in animation.

It feels like it's thriving, but a massive hit hasn't appeared yet.

However, a small portion of people with keen senses have already set their sights on this field.

It's just that, like on Earth, if you tell people now that a domestic animated work can take hundreds of millions or even billions in box office, absolutely no one will believe it.

Hundreds of millions might be dared to be imagined, but billions? That is simply a fantasy!

Luo Mo still felt that Shen Shaoqiu was very capable for setting his sights on this industry. No wonder this man with a limp could transform from a poor boy into the entertainment tycoon he is today.

Seeing that Luo Mo had finished inquiring about the news and was slow to speak again, the impatient Shen Yinuo said anxiously: "Luo Mo, Luo Mo! Please reply! Why are you asking about this?"

Luo Mo didn't intend to hide it from them either, saying: "Actually, the song *Chasing Dreams Red Heart* was originally intended to be a track for an animated work."

"Huh? Did someone around you make an animation, and then you wrote a song for it?" Shen Yinuo asked.

"No, it's that I want to do one myself," Luo Mo said.

Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi replied together with an ellipsis: "..."

"Boss, this career change of yours is a bit too drastic."

"Are you serious?" Shen Yinuo was an anime enthusiast herself, but she still felt that Luo Mo was just messing around.

"Serious," Luo Mo said. "Send me the name of the studio the company acquired; I want to see their previous works."

"It's called Tongguang," Shen Yinuo asked again. "If it's supposed to go well with 'Chasing Dreams Red Heart', then this anime must be very inspiring, very burning, and very passionate, right?"

Luo Mo recalled this unique work, smiled, and said, "Very burning, very passionate."

In his view, there were not many works in this world that could be more burning or more passionate than it.

Even if this anime, from certain perspectives, was actually quite bizarre.

"What's the name?" Shen Yinuo asked.

Luo Mo replied, "'That Year Those Rabbits'."

Shen Yinuo and the lurking Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but reply with three question marks together: "???"

Are you sure a work with this name has anything to do with being burning or passionate?

It's a bunny, you have a bunny in your name!

Don't think that just because a rabbit's eyes are red it's very burning, you jerk!

They felt more and more that Luo Mo was just idling away and messing around.

But Luo Mo was serious.

In his eyes, there really weren't many works that could be more burning than this slightly bizarre work.

It's just that, because this world had slight discrepancies in historical background compared to Earth, some places still needed to be edited, but there wasn't actually much that needed changing.

Whether it could achieve the expected effect, Luo Mo actually had no bottom line in his heart.

But this world was actually quite tolerant of culture.

If it could achieve the effect, then this would be a trump card.

He didn't count on it to make much money; losing a little money was even fine.

Starting with it, future development would have much more confidence.

……..

……..

After ending the topic of the anime, Shen Yinuo still couldn't suppress her curiosity and couldn't help but ask the question she cared about most.

"Luo Mo, I have no opinion on you wanting to play with a side job, but don't tell me you're now putting all your heart into your side job and haven't seriously thought about your own debut!"

Jiang Ningxi had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Luo Mo's current status was equivalent to not having officially debuted yet.

In what form he would debut, and with what kind of work he would debut—this was the main event!

Shen Yinuo continued, "I've heard that Pineapple is going to have a big move."

"What big move? Is it the debut album for the NINE-T boy group?" Luo Mo asked; Ning Dan had already mentioned this to him.

Shen Yinuo shook her head and said, "It's more than that."

"Pineapple has invited a god-like figure who has semi-retired to come out of retirement. Not only are they going to produce a lead single for NINE-T's first album, but the new album for Pineapple's top singer, the Heavenly King Zhao Xueqin, will also be personally handled by him," Shen Yinuo said.

At this moment, Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but say, "Xiao Shen, the god-like figure you're talking about, could it be Huang Xishan?"

"Who else could it be? He deserves the greatest credit for Zhao Xueqin being able to become a Heavenly King in the music scene!" Shen Yinuo said.

"Huang Xishan?" Luo Mo knew him too.

This person belonged to the top tier in the industry of lyricists and producers.

As for Zhao Xueqin, that was an existence on the same level as Xu Chujing in the music scene.

This really was a super big move.

Watching the conversation between the two women, Luo Mo got up and walked into the room. After closing the door, he made a phone call to Tong Shu.
