Chapter 985 Art Fever
"Few popular concerts are willing to venture into traditional artistic fields, and Luo Quan made an attempt and achieved great success.
Perhaps this cannot change the embarrassing current situation of lack of top-level popularity in art, but with Luo Quan’s continued output, art will definitely see great improvements in the future! "
This is the answer on Zhihu about what changes "The Greatest Work" can bring.
Prior to this, Luo Quan had composed a lot of classical music, and there is no doubt that the quality of his works was extremely high. However, what is embarrassing is that although he has produced so much world-class music, it has not brought any qualitative changes to the domestic classical music environment.
The real fun ones are only a few online, which is quite disappointing.
In fact, similar examples can be seen in many fields, such as South Korea's E-Sun football champion. His success in the Champions League made the entire South Korea proud and also led to a domestic football craze in South Korea.
As a frequent visitor to the World Cup, South Korean football ranks among the best in Asia, and after the rise of Sun Qiu Wang, it has gained further momentum.
This is the impact that an industry leader can bring to the industry.
There is a similar example in China, that is NBA Hall of Fame center Yao Ming.
It can be said that without him, Chinese basketball would not be as prosperous as it is now.
Although the national team's strength in the world is relatively average, its results in Asia are still quite good.
The most important thing is that Yao Ming's success has made basketball one of the most popular sports in China, and there is a direct relationship between the two.
Imagine if in the early years China could produce a player who was number one in a certain position in the five major football leagues for a period of time, and also gained a large number of foreign fans, how much of a boost would this have had to the domestic football environment at that time?
Maybe the national football team won't be so half-dead now.
Therefore, as Luo Quan has been the only leader in the art field in recent years, people's expectation is that she can use her success and influence to promote the development of domestic art.
However, when she was the most popular in the past two years, no effect was seen. Now that she has devoted herself to film and television creation, the superiors have taken over the promotion of the art industry, and her role is even less visible.
However, how can one of the most dazzling stars in the world stay dim for such a long time?
Today's "The Greatest Work" is an excellent attempt.
Perhaps compared with real classical music, this pop music with some classical elements is nothing, and it is far from matching its exaggerated name.
But with its catchy melody and Luo Quan's own fame, it became the hottest song at the end of 2020.
After it went online, the number of streaming media views exceeded 30 million in just 12 hours. If nothing happens, it will exceed 100 million in two days at most.
Through this opportunity, Luo Quan has truly brought art into the public eye.
In fact, people's attention to art had already begun when she was painting. "The Greatest Work" is like a summary of a day's work.
It uses a revolving door method to write the names and representative works of well-known Chinese and Western painters into the lyrics. Enthusiastic netizens in the comment area and countless professional bloggers also immediately expressed their desire to understand the behind-the-scenes of the lyrics. Netizens of the story answered their doubts.
Looking at the familiar world-famous paintings, people suddenly realize that art seems not far away from them.
During the occasional art class during the Chinese New Year when they were students, they had all seen a few of these paintings.
And the names of these painters may appear anywhere, because they are so famous.
Luo Quan's song actually tells everyone that art is not far away, nor is it so unattainable. Even if you don't have the corresponding appreciation level, you can still feel its beauty.
But this time, Luo Quan finally got off to a good start.
With the popularity of "The Greatest Work", art-related topics have begun to bombard hot searches in turn. If you look at it at any time, you can see more than three art-related news.
Artists who were rarely seen in the past have now been given the opportunity to be exposed, especially art variety shows that were not popular, and their popularity has finally soared.
Of course, there are also questions, that is, can Luo Quan's "The Greatest Work" really deserve its name?
Questioners feel that this song is excellent in all aspects, but in terms of overall production level, it feels inferior to Luo Quan's early works such as "In the Name of the Father" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
Therefore, the three words "the greatest" are somewhat unworthy of the name.
Those who object to the doubts believe that the evaluation of a song should be based on its historical significance.
Just like the top 100 films in film history, many of them are antique films shot at the beginning of the last century.
Technically and plot-wise, are these movies really better than today's movies? Not necessarily.
But these old antique movies at that time all led an era and played an extremely important historical role. It is not an exaggeration to say that they promoted the progress of the film industry.
And what "The Greatest Work" has to do now is just such a thing.
If it doesn't work, then it really doesn't live up to its name.
But if it succeeds, then he will definitely be qualified to be called the "greatest".
Therefore, it is too early to make a final conclusion about this song. If you look at it after a while, you may be able to understand that its value is much more than what you see now.
Of course, Luo Quan himself did not actually consider the above analysis that much.
The reason why she used this song was because she thought it was good, so she used it. As for being a leader or improving the environment, she has never taken it upon herself.
It's just that because her previous performance was so amazing, fans will think of so many things for her after Di's transformation. In fact, they overestimate her and think about a problem too complicatedly.
But the current artistic atmosphere on the Internet is gradually getting stronger. If this really makes a few talented young people become interested in art, that would be a good thing.
She saw many people saying that when art became popular, capital gathered like dogs smelling meat, and the smell of copper on their bodies was simply an insult to art. If possible, she really hoped that these businessmen would not be allowed to come into contact with art.
Luo Quan actually didn't particularly agree with this statement.
Because if you want to engage in art, poverty makes it difficult to succeed.
When a person has problems with food and clothing, most of his energy must be spent on making a living, and the remaining bit can be devoted to art.
And this level of effort is really not enough to cultivate a big family of artists.
But if capital can come in and spend money on those potential stocks to solve their worries, then many families will actually be willing to let their children give it a try.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure. If you haven’t laid a good foundation, it is obviously unrealistic to develop two arts.
The current economic situation in the country is actually very good. The entertainment industry has a huge amount of funds. If art can get a share of the pie, it will be enough to cultivate a large number of talents.
In the past, there was no popularity and capital could not make money, so no one cared.
Now that there are policies from above, there is public attention below, and the Art Olympics has also begun, the popularity will only get higher and higher in the future. Entering the market at this time will definitely make a lot of money.
In fact, Luo Quan herself has thought about whether to enter the game and try her best, because she knows more inside information than the average person.
The reason why the above attaches so much importance is probably because of the recovery of spiritual energy.
Not only art, entertainment, sports, technology, as long as it has the potential to become a big hit, the higher authorities are willing to add fuel to the flames to create gods.
With the people's will, these created gods have the opportunity to have powerful power.
But so far, there is only one and a half that create success, that one is the thimble, and the other half is the turning point.
Thimble has completely taken off now. From a troubled boy who smoked and talked dirty, in the blink of an eye he became a young star who gave a speech at the United Nations and has countless fans online.
It's just that some of his fans have a very strange mind. Forget about pink thimbles, they actually send cannons to his uncle thousands of miles away. It's really speechless.
However, so much negative news has not affected Thimble's status in major media at all, especially on Weibo and Douyin, where he has almost become a saint.
This is why Luo Quan likes Tieba Station B Zhihu, because although Thimble is also very popular in these places, the ones that are popular are his derived memes.
For example, the famous one-eyed thimble, the world's highest auditorium, and the cheese snow leopard are all very famous memes on major online platforms, and netizens also like to play them.
It's just that the popularity Thimble has gained is a little different from what he was initially trying to gain.
In addition to this, there is another half-created god, that is Kuai Ling.
To be honest, it's just a good time. Back when the results in the Summer Olympics were not particularly good, how could there be any spare energy to create a gold medal contender for the Winter Olympics?
In comparison, China has more strong sports in the Summer Olympics, such as diving, table tennis, weightlifting, etc., and many of them are in a dominant position. It is very safe to fill in any one to create a shake, and they are all of pure Chinese descent.
As for Guailing, he has indeed seized the opportunity now. On the one hand, his foreign results have repeatedly set new records and his momentum is overwhelming. On the other hand, he has continued to express his Chinese identity in front of the media after the game, which has been reported by the domestic media. material.
Soon, the method of marketing her was found, which was how much she liked China, how deep she had been with China since she was a child, and how down-to-earth she was with China in what she ate and wore, making her no different from Chinese people.
Although these may be true, there are too many homogeneous copywritings in a short period of time, which is indeed a bit tiring.
Coupled with the rush to express loyalty, it is also a mixture of joy and worry.
Fortunately, this mixed-race child has lived abroad for such a long time and still has such a sincere heart for his parents. It is really rare and worthy of praise and learning from other Chinese-Americans.
The worry is whether she is sincere or not.
In contrast to Luo Quan, who is also of mixed race, she seems to rarely talk about this matter in front of foreign media.
No one paid attention to Ye at first. After all, although she said little, she did make it clear that her nationality was Chinese, and there was no problem with her position.
But when Guailing became popular, Luo Quan's problems gradually became problematic.
This is an era where clapping not loudly enough is considered a crime. When Luo Quan made comparisons, some people suddenly felt that Gua Ling seemed to be better than her, so they posted on the Internet:
“Entertainment stars use other people’s things to become popular, but sports stars can use other people’s things to become their own medals.
The country is strong in sports, but actors are ruining the country! "
Although he didn't mention them by name, a picture of Gua Ling and Luo Quan was placed at the bottom of the article. This is not much different from naming them.
The meaning he wants to express is also very straightforward, that is, he looks down on Luo Quan's achievements as a star, feels that those who engage in sports must be superior to others, and does not mention Luo Quan's gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
This double-standard behavior immediately aroused attacks from fans, but Weibo soon deleted these offensive remarks. Paradoxically, the article still exists.
It may also be that the Tokyo Olympics has just ended. This time, China Sports has achieved good results. Countless athletes have set new records on the field and won great honor and face for the country.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for entertainment to touch sports.
They say the Internet has memory, and it’s true.
The Internet definitely has memory, but people don’t necessarily. Although it won’t disappear as fast as a fish, it won’t last particularly long either.
In addition to poor memory, it is also part of human nature to like the new and dislike the old.
Appearance alone cannot be eaten, not to mention that no matter how good the appearance is, it is of no use if you can't see or touch it.
In comparison, although Gua Ling is not as good-looking as Luo Quan, she can bring face to everyone.
A mixed-race person who has lived in the United States all year round, even though he has enjoyed the prosperity and freedom abroad, he still has the utmost respect for his homeland, and even expressed some detailed patriotic feelings in front of foreign media.
How proud we are of this. In comparison, a native-born mixed-race child seems to have no competitiveness. Moreover, she doesn’t particularly like to deal with the media, and she shows her loyalty very rarely in a year.
In comparison, it is obvious who is more popular with the general public, especially when the media hypes it.
In fact, it is not difficult for Luo Quan to turn things around. He does not need to contact the media and just publishes one or two classic patriotic songs from his previous life. The results will be immediate.
But she is a very awkward person and feels that doing this is too utilitarian.
And she doesn't have low self-esteem to the point where she needs other people's approval to satisfy her heart.
She has lived in China for more than twenty years, but there is no such thing as convert fanaticism.
Those who attack her are the ones who are really fanatical converts, but the target of conversion is not China.
