Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 905 Journey to the West Concert

After more than a year of research and development, we are committed to restoring console-level game quality on mobile platforms and creating an immersive anime-style open world.

While demonstrating the game, Cai Haoyu explained, "With the support of the technology resources from the other side, the development of this project is progressing faster than originally planned, and it is currently about 60% complete. If all goes well, we can start public testing next year..."

He smiled and looked at Chen Mo. "That's about it. Moss, do you have any suggestions?"

After watching the demo, Chen Mo realized that this mobile game was completely different from the common PVP competitive games on the market. It combined multiple concepts such as "open world + elemental reaction + character-driven + cross-platform", and was full of ambition.

He shook his head and subconsciously said, "After all, I'm not an expert in the world of anime and manga. Let's just proceed with Genshin Impact according to your ideas..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the expressions of the three young men opposite him were somewhat subtle, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

Cai Haoyu scratched his head and explained, "Genshin Impact? Moss, our project is called 'Elemental World'... which refers to the elemental power in the core gameplay, just like the naming of 'Honkai Impact 3rd'."

Chen Mo blinked, his heart skipped a beat: Good heavens, did I just ruin Genshin Impact?!
However, Cai Haoyu immediately laughed and said, "But I think the name you came up with is better. From now on, let's call this project 'Genshin Impact'!"

He consulted his two partners, and the decision was unanimously approved.

After leaving miHoYo, Chen Mo pursed his lips and muttered to himself:
Tsk, what a smartass!
At the end of January, Chen Mo returned to Beijing and visited several high-ranking officials.

On February 1, he personally visited Mr. Xu Jingqing and then invited Mr. Xu to go out together.

"Xiao Mo, where are we going?"

You'll see when you get there!

Chen Mo smiled, not wanting to pat his elder's head, so he gently patted the back of Xu Lao's hand three times.

The auditorium was already packed, and the stage set was meticulously crafted, with every detail perfectly matching the Journey to the West theme.

The symphony orchestra, encompassing instruments from both the East and the West, is neatly arranged. The instruments of different styles seem to be clearly defined, yet they appear to be waiting for a perfect fusion.

When Xu Jingqing walked into the venue from backstage, the sight before him made him hold his breath instantly.

The entire stage was decorated like the Tushita Palace from the Journey to the West mythology, resplendent in gold and shrouded in ethereal beauty.

A thought suddenly popped into the old man's mind, and he became suddenly agitated, exclaiming, "This...this is..."

“This is a New Year’s gift for you. You mentioned before that you wanted to hold a concert before you died, and I remembered that,” Chen Mo replied with a smile.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Xu Jingqing pointed to the hundreds of musicians in front of him and asked, "How much did this cost?"

The venue features a national symphony orchestra, top-notch stage design, sound system, lighting, and even extra-large LED screens on both sides of the stage.

This event also invited many national team singers and outstanding young singers, including Tan Jing, Wu Bixia, Dai Yuqiang, Yang Hongji, Zu Hai, Lei Jia, Zhong Liyan, and He Jun, but all of them offered "friendly prices".

With such a high-end setup and live streaming on Douyin throughout, the investment must have been in the tens of millions.

Moreover, with this venue, at this crucial juncture before the Lunar New Year, money alone isn't enough.

Chen Mo originally thought it would take some effort, but after explaining the situation, this activity, which had strong "sentiment" and "cultural" attributes, received special attention. Of course, the money was still there, and he still had to pay.

Faced with Xu Jingqing's concerns, Chen Mo said as easily as if he were comforting an elderly person, "It's not much money, less than 300 million. The value generated by your licensed music is much greater than that. Don't worry, I'm a businessman, I won't lose money!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the familiar melody of "Deng Deng Deng.~~~ Diu Diu Diu~" from "Yun Gong Xun Yin" suddenly rang out. The classic notes, refined over thirty years, instantly awakened the fond memories of the audience when they were young, sitting in front of the television, waiting for the premiere of "Journey to the West".

After the song ended, Chen Mo helped Xu Jingqing slowly walk onto the stage, introduced by CCTV hosts Sa Beining and Zhou Tao.

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time. It was both a tribute to Xu Jingqing's outstanding composing talent and a thank you for Chen Mo's generous act.

After Xu Jingqing took the stage, surprises followed one after another.

In addition to the luxurious symphony orchestra and exquisite stage set, he also saw many familiar faces in the audience.

Director Yang Jie, along with Liu Xiao Ling Tong, Chi Zhongrui, Ma Dehua, and Liu Dagang, the four masters and apprentices, gathered together.

Nearly eighty years old, Xu Jingqing was so excited that he was speechless several times. Only after the encouraging applause from the audience did he calm down and slowly begin to speak.

"When Mr. Chen first came to my house, he said that the movies and games they invested in should use the music copyright of Journey to the West. When I heard that, I thought, 'Are there still people who would voluntarily pay for the copyright of Journey to the West?'"
"They could have done it for free, but they insisted on paying for it. I thought to myself, 'Isn't that stupid?'"

Chen Mo touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed, while the audience responded with good-natured laughter.

"Later, I went to the cinema and bought a ticket to watch 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' and watched clips of the game 'Black Myth' online. That's when I realized that they were a group of people who truly put their heart into their work."

"Actually, I just said it casually at the time. I never expected that President Chen would remember it, and that I would actually witness this day."

"To sum up all my words, I, Xu Jingqing, have lived a worthwhile life!"

The old man's sincere words moved everyone present and those watching the live stream.

After Xu Jingqing finished speaking, Xiao Sa gestured for Chen Mo to say a few words. The latter waved his hand and helped the old man off the stage.

As they passed the cast and crew and the guest singers in the audience, everyone stood up to greet them. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two took their seats.

Chen Mo simply nodded to Feng Ji, Yang Qi, and the others without saying anything more.

Today, he doesn't want to steal the spotlight; he just wants to be a quiet spectator.

Yes, just an ordinary audience member sitting in the center of the row.
Then, the concert officially began.

Yang Hongji sang "Where is the Road Ahead?" with his powerful and resonant voice. As the original singer of the Three Kingdoms theme song "The Mighty Yangtze River Flows Eastward", his performance was full of power.
"Daughter's Love," a classic interlude from Tang Sanzang's journey through the Women's Kingdom, was performed by its original singer, Wu Jing, who resonated with the entire audience.

Li Lingyu brings "The Girl from India" to life, recreating the classic charm.

Classic songs such as "The Moon Shines Brightly in the Clear Sky," "Why Travel Ten Thousand Miles to the West," "It's Hard to Meet, and Harder to Part," "Five Hundred Years of Change," and "Returning from the Journey to the West" were given a new charm through the wonderful performances of the singers.
Compared to those popular young celebrities who went to the McDonald's College at Berkeley, they're not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

When I heard Yang Hongji sing, wow~ his voice is so deep~
When I heard Wu Bixia, the "Oriental Nightingale," sing, wow~ her voice is so bright!
When I heard Tan Jing, the "Big Boss," sing, wow~ her voice is so high~
Chen Mo's expression shifted, and he waved to Feng Ji, then told him to make a note of it so that they could find the singers on stage to perform the theme songs from the game later.
After the classic songs were performed, the host invited the core creative team of the 86 TV series "Journey to the West" to the stage.

When the four teachers, Liu Xiao Ling Tong, Chi Zhongrui, Ma Dehua, and Liu Dagang, appeared together, the atmosphere instantly reached its climax.

The audience stood up in unison, and the applause and cheers were deafening. Many people had tears of excitement in their eyes.

Their appearance is not just a reunion of actors, but a perfect return to the youthful memories of a generation.
