Chapter 192 Recovery

To everyone's surprise, the first person to speak for Luo Quan was Cao Mufeng, who was preparing a new single.

He wrote on Weibo:

“I watched the entire production process of this song. Although the production of this song took less than forty minutes, the quality is definitely top-notch.

Don't say it only costs four yuan, even if it costs ten yuan, it is definitely worth it. I don't know what those people who complain that they think it is expensive are thinking. They are willing to pay for those shoddy, Chinese-style plagiarized songs on the Internet, but not for A real masterpiece for your money.

The Chinese music scene is so decadent now. On the one hand, it is because young singers are so greedy for money that they will do anything for money. At the same time, ordinary people who enjoy chasing after the bad also need to bear a lot of responsibility.

No one cares about high-quality original musicians. If they are a little popular, they will be scolded for being expensive when they charge a small amount of money. They are proud of prostitution for free. I really don’t know how they got into this bad habit! "

Rather than saying that Cao Mufeng is complaining about Luo Quan's experience, it is better to say that he is criticizing the current domestic music environment.

Everything was made out of his own feelings. In fact, the sales volume of several of his own albums were quite good and among the best in the country. There was no need to come out and say these things to offend passers-by.

But when he saw the words in the comment section of Luo Quan's new album promotion Weibo, he couldn't help but want to say a few words, even if he was blackmailed for it, it didn't matter.

Fortunately, she was not the only one to speak out this time. Half an hour after the song was released, many well-known domestic music producers and veteran singers posted on Weibo to praise Luo Quan's new song.

Although the arrangement of this song is a little simple, the composition and singing are top-notch, the lyrics are simple and true to heart, and the design of "Love You" is very visual. A song is a story.

Domestic veteran singers usually rarely speak on Weibo, but this time they collectively spoke out for Luo Quan, probably because they were so angry that they couldn't stand the comments in the comment area such as "paying money to listen to the music" .

On the other hand, Luo Quan's songs are indeed very good, and they are definitely qualified to compete at the Grammys. Now I can help you say a few words, so that at least its sales in China can be better.

It is said that peers are enemies, but that is actually when there is an obvious competitive relationship.

Luo Quan released albums twice and hit the streets twice, but this time he received support from many parties.

For no other reason than because she is writing English songs this time and there is no big conflict of interest with domestic musicians. She might be able to go international and show off our country’s prestige, so most musicians have chosen to do it here. Please help Luo Quan.

Luo Quan didn't have many friends in China, and only two of her relatives and friends promoted her.

Shortly after Cao Mufeng posted on Weibo, Wen Xia posted a Weibo, not saying who was wrong, but simply saying that this album was Amway:

"Luo Quan's new album is out! The title song "Someone like you" is really nice. It's definitely a good song worth spending money on. Everyone, hurry up and listen to it."

And Leon also continued to promote: "My sister's first English album will also include songs collaborated by me and her. I hope it can get everyone's support."

As the saying goes, babies who cry are fed by milk. So many people helped Luo Quan promote it, and the effect was quite remarkable. The pre-sales of the album quadrupled, and it was about to exceed 300,000. And " Someone like you" also sold half a million copies.

Although it still did not meet Luo Quan's psychological expectations, it was still a very good result, especially in this domestic environment.

As time went by, the reviews of the new album finally turned around.

Zhihu was the first to start to reverse course. As the largest gathering place of the "little bourgeoisie" in the country, most people's economic conditions are relatively sufficient.

You may need to think about buying an album for tens of dollars, but you don't need to think much about buying a song for a few dollars, especially Luo Quan's songs.

"How do you evaluate Luo Quan's new song?" This question topped the popularity list.

The Zhihu group’s answer was quite positive:

"For the money I spent on this song, I can say in one word: it's worth it! After listening to the song, I immediately pre-ordered the album. I hope Luo Quan can bring me bigger surprises!"

"I come from the European and American music circles, and I actually have a sense of superiority. I always felt that the level of domestic singers could not be compared with foreign ones, until Luo Quan appeared.

From the perspective of listening to so many English songs, there is actually nothing innovative about the composition and arrangement of this song. It sounds good, but it cannot be called amazing.

But Luo Quan's singing is really a plus. The chest and head vocals are just right, and every line is so sincere, which is far better than most popular music in Europe and America.

I think this is a song that will definitely do well on the B chart. As for the Grammy, I don’t know, but don’t worry, Luo Quan’s new album still has nine songs! "

“I don’t know what those people who say albums are too expensive think, you have to look at its comparative value to say whether it is expensive or not.

Such a good song only sells for 4 yuan, which is probably cheaper than the domestic singles of small fresh meat. The latter releases a Chinese album and sells it for 40 to 51 yuan. Why don't you see a few people criticizing it? "

"Not much else to say, expensiveness is not a shortcoming of something, but a shortcoming of yourself. There must be a reason for the high price. I think it is worth the price!"

"Luo Quan is probably really heartbroken this time. The two Chinese and English albums she prepared with great care have failed to sell well in China. She probably won't be interested in having them premiered in China in the future.

When the physical album is released overseas, it will probably be more expensive! "

"The physical album doesn't really matter, I can afford it anyway."

"I have a hunch that Luo Quan is really going to win an award this year, whether it's the Japan Record Awards or the Grammys, he will definitely gain something."

After Zhihu, the comments on Weibo also began to improve.

Those negative reviews that said the album was too expensive were gradually overshadowed by those who commented after listening to the songs:

"It sounds really good. I hope you won't be misled by those who haven't heard the song before!"

"I originally bought this album for Lyon, and I have never been interested in Luo Quan, but after listening to this song, I immediately became a fan of Luo Quanlu. She is indeed Lyon's sister, beautiful and talented. .”

"It sounds really good, and it doesn't feel expensive at all. It's just the price of a bottle of drink. You can't buy it at a loss or be cheated."

……………………

One night, Luo Quan was on Weibo and Penguin Music, reading comments and selling sales.

It did make her a little nervous at first, but with the support of a group of friends and colleagues, the reputation has improved greatly, and sales have increased.

But even so, the pre-sales of the album did not exceed 500,000, but the sales of "Sone One Like You" were almost over 1 million.

This is understandable, after all, most people don’t trust things that are not yet certain.

The title song has already come out and has received rave reviews. You can definitely buy it with confidence. However, the remaining nine songs have not been seen at all. Even Luo Quan, who is known as "only producing high-quality products", is not as famous as her. Appeal.

Maybe it can be done at Bilibili, where fame can be directly converted into pre-sales, but if it is spread across the country, there won’t be so many people supporting it, and most people will still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Therefore, despite Penguin's full promotion and the recommendation of so many big guys in the industry, the pre-sales volume is less than 500,000, which is only one-tenth of the original pre-sales volume of "Rite of Passage".

The coming-of-age album can be said to be a miracle in terms of record sales in Asia. It has already exceeded 10 million sales, and its sales are still increasing steadily.

The album "Love" aims to break this probability by being close to the Chinese market. Its probability is approximately equal to the sun rising from the north.

Of course, that would not necessarily be the case if it were placed in the global market. At least Luo Quan still trusted the purchasing power of foreigners.

Luo Quan didn't sleep very peacefully that night. First, he stayed up until two o'clock. After waking up naturally due to his biological clock in the morning, he felt very sleepy. He wanted to go back to sleep but found that he couldn't fall asleep. After half an hour of being stuck in bed, As a result, my spirits were still a little sluggish.

Luo Quan had no choice but to get up and wash his face with cold water, which made him feel more energetic.

After breakfast, the director began to arrange filming tasks for the instructors to wait for the program.

Although it may look like a talent show, it is actually still a variety show. The students are all free to express themselves, but the instructor still has to have some scripts.

It's not that the instructor is asked to perform, but that the director tells the instructor how to highlight the characteristics of a certain student when filming the program and give her more words.

The other is to ask the instructor to think of ways to create some program effects, make it funny, or scare the students.

The main person who did this was Jin Zihao, who had frightened Xue more than once in the last episode.

Although his reputation on the Internet is not very good because of this incident, he himself does not care. After all, it is for the discussion of the show, and he can be considered dedicated to doing so.

Of course, it would be boring to do this kind of thing too much, so the director did not arrange this disgusting task for him today. He just asked that the students in Class A be given as many opportunities to show off as possible.

This is the second assessment after the start of the program, and it is also the first performance test after a week of independent learning for the students. After the jump, not only the instructor has to give scores and decide whether to be promoted or downgraded.

After the program is broadcast, the audience will vote. Each person has ten votes and can vote for one college repeatedly.

This number of votes does not determine the performance of the students in the second phase, but will become the basis for the performance of the students in the third phase of the program.

The third phase of the program will officially begin to eliminate the students ranked at the bottom, so the audience voting in the second phase is very critical. If you don't dance well this time, even if you perform at a super level in the third phase, it will have a certain impact on your ranking. .

The director team has not told the students this rule until today, because they don’t want them to have too much psychological counseling, causing them to be unable to sleep at night and affecting their performance today.

When Director Huang explained the rules to the students before going on stage, everyone was a little confused.

The first batch of people to perform probably have the greatest psychological pressure, but what's interesting is that the director arranged for the first batch of people to go on stage to be Group A, which is recognized as the strongest.

The idea is very simple, just to train them.

Based on their popularity in the first episode, even if they don’t dance well this time, they will not be eliminated in the third episode. And if they are not affected in any way and perform normally this time, it means that they have good ability to withstand pressure and deserve to be given more. Lots of shots.

According to the seat number, Yue Wei was the first to perform.

The performance venue was in a spacious dance room. The students were sitting on the floor, and the instructor was also sitting on a stool, holding a notebook in his hand.

Yue Wei bowed and saluted the instructors, and then the music started.

After all, he is a first-time student, so there is nothing to say in terms of strength or mental quality. Yue Wei's performance in all aspects was very good, but she used too much force.

Dancing does require clean and neat movements, especially K-POP dance. If the dance is soft, it will not look good.

Of course, that is in most cases. Some choreographers want to show the softness of the female body. The movements should not be too big, but should be soft.

And Yue Wei dances very hard in every dance, as if she is afraid that others will not know that she dances well. A layman may think that she is very good, but to a professional it looks a little artificial.

Therefore, Yue Wei's evaluation from her mentor is not particularly high.

Because this is already the second episode of the program, the standards of the instructors have been raised a lot, so even if Yue Wei is the first student to appear, she only temporarily retains the title of student in Class A, but in fact, in the hearts of the instructors, this Titles are subject to change at any time.

In fact, after the performance, Yue Wei herself saw some clues in the instructors' eyes. Some were disappointed, some were dignified, but none of them showed a satisfied expression.

At this moment, Yue Wei knew that she had not danced well. The only good news was that her dancing and singing were not wrong, and her rhythm was very good, so she would probably not be demoted.

And Lin Yuxiao, who appeared for the second time, made Yue Wei even more determined.

This idol queen of the Seine who was born as a pure idol has a real gap in basic skills with those of Yuehua's top students. Even though she has put in a lot of hard work before, she still performed at a super level today, but her performance is compared to Yue Hua's. Wei is also worse.

The instructors' faces became heavier as they watched. When Xu Yuelin finished dancing, Jin Zihao said directly: "Is this the strength that your team A wants to show me?"

All the students suddenly fell silent. Just now, everyone was cheering for the wonderful performance of the students in Group A, but the instructors seemed very dissatisfied.

Jin Zihao said in a deep voice: "You were assigned to Group A in the first program because your performance was stronger than others at that time. There is no doubt about this.

But have you ever thought about whether the students you were compared to in the past might have performed abnormally? Are they really inferior to you? What if someone pays more attention to Class B and comes back ahead?

I bet that someone from Class A will be squeezed out by students from Class B this time. This will definitely happen!

Don’t think that because I didn’t go to Class A yesterday, I don’t know how you are doing these days. I learned from the photographer last night that except for the two days when you first entered the dormitory, the rest of your time was three days. After two days of fishing and drying the net, I didn’t practice seriously at all! "

At this point, Jin Zihao's tone was really angry, "Entering Class A is just the beginning for you, not the end! We still have ten episodes of the program. Starting from the next episode, if you do not perform well, you will be punished directly Leave!

If you still have the mentality that I am the best and there is no need to practice, I can tell you responsibly that this show does not need such people to debut. We will give opportunities to those students who are more serious and hardworking! "

"I'm sorry, Teacher Jin Zihao, I let you down." Yue Wei first bowed and apologized. As the "backbone" of Chinese singing and dancing in the current program, the instructors' expectations for her are actually quite high. Yesterday's conversation with Wen Xia It can also be seen.

But I didn’t dance well today, and there really isn’t much to say. I just wasn’t serious enough before, thinking that everything would be fine once I entered Class A. Speaking of which, I had never been so relaxed before in Korea, even after my debut.

Lin Yuxiao also had red eyes and bowed to the instructors.

In fact, she has no need to apologize, because she is one of the most diligent students in Class A. Unfortunately, her foundation is much worse than that of Yue Wei and others. She is not the main target of Jin Zihao's criticism, but because of Jin Zihao's harmonious tone. The expression was a little serious, and she was frightened.

After the criticism, the instructor and students calmed down, and the filming paused for a while.

During this period, Leon also took over Zhao Yining's responsibilities, comforting the few Class A students who were feeling a little depressed.

In fact, it's nothing more than saying something like don't be discouraged if you fail this time, and you must put in 200% effort to practice next time.

After a few minutes, the filming continued, and this time it was Junko who performed.

Junko, who is recognized by Wen Xia and has half the strength of a popular girl group, performs this dance very well. The dance is simple but not too fierce. The swing of her waist and limbs fully demonstrates the vitality of a young girl, which is consistent with The performance of the previous few people formed a sharp contrast.

Seeing Junko's performance, the faces of several instructors finally cleared up, and Leon nodded repeatedly, and even applauded in the end.

Seeing her idol's enthusiasm, Junko, who was already relatively thin-skinned, immediately blushed, causing everyone to laugh.

Next up were Zheng Tao, Ana, and Zhuang Shuyu.

Zheng Tao has a very good foundation in dancing. Needless to say, the effect of her dance has been unanimously recognized by the instructors.

Compared with the previous ones, Zhuang Shuyu and Ana looked a little "hateful", and their dancing was not even as good as Lin Yuxiao.

One is that he is too fat, which makes him short-handed and uncomfortable. The other one is too tall, and his gestures are as imposing as a set of military boxing, which is really hard to stand up to.

Judging from the expressions on the instructors' faces, the students knew that these two students were likely to be demoted.

And in the end, Jiang Yuner, who was vaguely known as the "Big Demon King", finally walked up to the mentor with everyone watching.

"Hello, tutors." Jiang Yuner bowed very politely.

Jin Zihao stretched out his hand: "Please start your performance."
