Chapter 105 Full Firepower

Luo Quan is writing the score of the last song, and Amuro Yu has been hanging around her since just now, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Just tell me if you have anything." Luo Quan put down his pen and looked up at Yu Amuro.

The latter looked worried and said, "Luo Quan, am I the most useless in the band?"

Luo Quan was stunned for a moment: "How could you have such an idea?"

Yu Amuro said softly: "Many people on Twitter sent me private messages after following me, saying that I don't look rock and roll at all, and that my effect is not as great as the other two girls..."

"It's all nonsense!" Luo Quan interrupted him.

Everyone has seen Yu Amuro's performance in the band. He gets into the best shape every time he performs, and he trains very seriously. How could it not work?

It really doesn't work, she is probably the most confused one. After all, the status of the bassist has always been the lowest in the band. In most cases, it is difficult to hear the sound of the bass in a song. Some people even jokingly said: Is there a bassist? It doesn’t really make much difference to a band.

Luo Quan smiled and teased him: "These are either black men or jealous of your popularity. After all, you are the most handsome one in the band."

"I heard that the band is the most handsome, are you talking about me?" Yumoi Akira came over at some point.

Luo Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't say anything about you, captain."

"Hasn't the captain ever been scolded?" Yu Amuro asked curiously.

"Yes." Yunjing Xiao nodded, "There are quite a few. They all scolded me for speaking loudly, which made their ears hurt."

Amuro Yu was surprised: "You weren't affected at all?"

Kumoi Akira said with a smile: "At first I felt a little uncomfortable because these people didn't like me, but thinking about it conversely, these people who don't like me feel uncomfortable because of my singing, but I feel much better."

Luo Quan nodded: "Look, this is the best mentality when facing trolls and sunspots. If you make them feel uncomfortable, we will feel comfortable.

But on the other hand, you should also actively improve your abilities. As long as your strength is there, there will always be more people praising you than scolding you. "

Yu Amuro sighed: "Actually, I'm still not confident enough. Now we have officially become a band, but the things I learned about drumming were all learned online, and I can't compare with those professionals."

Luo Quan asked: "How many band drummers started out as music majors? Everyone got there today with their passion for music. And you are still young, so it is not too late to learn now.

Besides, your drumming skills are already very good, so don’t deny yourself because of the negations of those boring people on the Internet. "

"I will work hard!" Yu Amuro clenched his fists, but it could be seen that his tone was still full of uncertainty.

"Well, seeing as you're still so unsure, I'll help you!" Luo Quan said, pulling out a piece of white paper and drawing on it.

She finished the drawing quickly, "What can you see?"

Akatsuki Kumoi and Yu Amuro looked over. From left to right on the paper, there were two slapping hands, which appeared twice, and then two palms lying flat.

Akatsuki Kumoi and Yu Amuro looked at each other after reading, and both saw confusion and confusion in each other's eyes.

Luo Quan explained: “The most important thing that makes up a song is the melody first, and the lyrics second. The rhythm of a song is often the least valued, but whether a song has a sense of emotion, the rhythm is really important.

As a drummer, you control the rhythm of the entire band, and for the song I want to write, your performance will be the most important part. "

Amuro Yu suddenly became excited when he heard this, but at the same time he was confused: "But does this have anything to do with this painting?"

Luo Quan showed a mysterious smile: "A song can be remembered by people, maybe because of its beautiful melody, maybe because of its passionate lyrics, but this time, I want people to remember it because of its unique rhythm. !”

At this point, she gave up the truth and refused to reveal any more no matter how Yu Amuro and Akatsuki Kumo pressed.

By evening, Luo Quan also posted this painting on Twitter.

Because the other members of the band don't usually use Twitter, except for posting videos about their daily life in the band and advice, they hardly interact with fans, so she has almost become the official spokesperson of the band Love Music.

What’s interesting is that there is almost no overlap between her own fans and those of Love Music. On one side, they are mostly Japanese and Chinese, while on the other side, they are mostly Americans.

So in order to distinguish it, Luo Quan will make special notes in the title when tweeting. If it is about herself, add (Izumi), if it is about Love music, add (LM).

In tonight's tweet, she noted LM, and the title was: "Full fire". The content was the painting she drew today with three hands.

Because the title added a book title, fans of the Loov music band were excited to think that the band was going to release a new song, and they asked questions in the comment area.

They were only half right. This time the band was not just going to release new songs, but a mini album with a total of four songs!

Because fans were following closely, Luo Quan quickly sent another tweet:

"'Full fire' is the name of the mini album. We are going to release four songs this time. I have basically composed the lyrics and music, but it will take some time to present it to everyone. I can meet you at the beginning of next month at the most. "

This time fans asked about the title of the song, but Luo Quan didn't reveal it anymore, saying that he would reveal it one after another until later, and launched a wave of hunger marketing.

Albums are not released at the drop of a hat. Before, Luo Quan could handle everything from ordering delivery to post-production sound editing by himself, leaving Sony with basically nothing to do except contact printing plants and media reporters.

But this will definitely not work at Universal Records. First of all, Luo Quan has not signed any contract with Universal Records. Secondly, the people in the Love Music band do not have as high a status as she does at Sony.

If you want to release a record, you must report it to Universal Music Company in advance. There are so many things to prepare for various equipment, personnel, and promotion plans.

And people may not let Luo Quan produce the album. Of course, this possibility is still relatively small. Luo Quan is well known in the industry for his versatility. He is well-known both in Japan and abroad. There are musicians It is said that Luo Quan alone can beat a music company, and the quality is definitely high enough.

After all, the sales of more than 6 million of "Rite of Passage" are there, which is much more convincing than any mindless praise from fans and passers-by.

If she puts forward any opinions, Universal Records will definitely not ignore them. Of course, the general direction still has to be controlled by others. She and her bandmates only need to be responsible for creation and performance.

News of a new album had just been announced here, and Luo Quan immediately contacted the person in charge of the Love Music band at Universal Records.

Although he was a Frenchman, Luo Quan had no problem communicating with him whether he was speaking in French or English.

The result of the exchange was not surprising. Universal was fully supportive. The band released an album as soon as they signed the contract. It can be said that they are very motivated. How could the company not be happy when encountering a band like this, not to mention that the band is still very popular now.

On the other hand, after learning that all the band's songs were written and composed by Luo Quan, the person in charge of the company was still shocked and even asked whether to change companies.

In any circle, poaching is a very disgraceful thing, and for the world's three major record companies like Universal and Sony, poaching is even more taboo. If Director Ishimura could know that this French general manager is What he did probably matched his hard work.

Fortunately, Luo Quan has always adhered to the "not selling herself" contract and will not sign a contract with any company. As for the record deal, she has already chosen Sony and has no plans to change companies for the time being.

The person in charge of Universal Company was also very generous. He didn't succeed in poaching her but just said: I look forward to having the opportunity to work with her in the future.

No matter where they are, talented people are always welcomed and favored by big bosses. Luo Quan has long been accustomed to this.

After the matter was settled, Luo Quan sent the lyrics and music of the four songs and asked them to make a demo so that the band members could practice according to it.

Universal also acted very quickly and sent the song demo back to Luo Quan early the next morning, and Luo Quan also quickly gave the file to the band members.

The preparation for the new album started in two ways. Universal Company studied the promotion plan, designed posters, band styling, etc., while Love Music band devoted themselves to practicing the songs.

Luo Quan is probably the most leisurely one. Her work has basically been done. In the following time, she will play the role of the band's manager and official spokesperson of the band, making short videos and behind-the-scenes videos and uploading them online. , continues to whet the appetite of fans.

At first there was not much to see today, but as the band members gradually became familiar with the melody of the song, the pop-up sounds became longer and longer, and things gradually became interesting.

Whether it is the melody played by Natsuko Miyano on the violin or the melody played by Suzune Kamiya on the piano, it all shows the excellence of these songs. Even though it is only such a short section, fans can already figure it out on their own. Sing out a rock song that will rock the house.

But in the end, it's just a brain teaser. Without lyrics, without a complete verse and chorus, it still can't satisfy the craving, and even makes fans even more worried.

The most common action they do every day is probably to open Twitter, go to Luo Quan’s homepage to see if there are any new updates, and even look at her previous tweets, watching those she has seen countless times over and over again. Video, I want to find out if there are any details about the store that I missed.

Waiting when you know the exact time is often more difficult than waiting in confusion. Fortunately, Luo Quan is not a devil after all. In the early morning of October 1st, she sent a "big" tweet.
