Chapter 195 Sensation

ps. "Listen" by Beyoncé

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, it would be hard for Cao Mufeng to believe that such a slender body as Luo Quan could contain such terrifying explosive power.

The song was dull at the beginning, but became more and more difficult as it went to the back. Luo Quan also raised the tune to an extremely high pitch. After finishing the song, Cao Mufeng felt very happy. As a professional singer, this was the first time that he was attracted by other singers. The singer was so moved.

After calming down, he fell into deep thought again, that is, could he sing this song?

The answer is unknown. The high notes of this song are all sung by Luo Quan with his real voice. There are as many turns as there are three ways and eighteen turns, and there are also a lot of angry sounds and vibrato. The difficulty level is rated as ten stars!

Cao Mufeng felt that if he put some effort into it, he might be able to sing, but the key would have to be lowered, and he was definitely not sure that he could handle the emotions and details as completely as Luo Quan.

In other words, this is a song that is almost impossible to cover, let alone reach the heights of the original.

Seeing Luo Quan panting with his hands on his hips after finishing singing, Cao Mufeng's extremely shocked mind finally found some comfort.

At least this kind of song is still consuming for her, unlike the three songs she sang yesterday, where there was no reaction at all.

Luo Quan walked out of the recording studio. Cao Mufeng silently took off his earphones, stood up and found his side. Then he looked at her with complicated eyes as he put on the earphones and tested the results of his previous recording.

In Japan, Luo Quan has always been known as the walking CD, which means that her singing skills are extremely stable, and the sound quality of her live singing is almost the same as that produced in the recording studio.

But she finally succeeded when singing this song. After listening to it all, she still found some small flaws. In fact, some of the transpositions were not very smooth, and ordinary people couldn't hear it at all. Luo Quan made some modifications... ……Perfect!

"Okay." Luo Quan saved and sent, laughing softly.

Cao Mufeng was curious: "Is this the new song tonight?"

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, it will be launched globally simultaneously. When the time comes, Universal will release physical records. Do you want to support one?"

Cao Mufeng laughed: "Of course it's no problem."

"Thank you for helping me." Luo Quan thanked him and left the recording studio...

After returning to the room, Luo Quan immediately sent the song to Zhou Yangwen and Seifert.

Last night, she had contacted the two parties who purchased the copyright of her album. After discussion, the two parties basically reached an agreement and planned to release Luo Quan's new songs simultaneously.

Domestically, electronic albums are sold, while overseas, physical and electronic albums are sold together.

About five minutes after receiving the song, Zhou Yangwen responded with a "thumbs up" expression, while Seifert responded with a long paragraph of praise in less than two minutes. The language was extremely disgusting, and Luo Quan could see it. It's dumbfounding.

The release time has also been set, at 9pm China time, which is also 9am New York time.

In addition, since Luo Quan signed a contract with Universal later, the new album is currently only being promoted and the title song has not been officially released, so tonight the two songs will be released together.

Although the domestic reputation has improved, Luo Quan can't forget the situation when he was almost thrown out of the street before, so he is still quite nervous about the release of his new overseas album.

Although according to common sense, there is almost no possibility that these two songs will be popular abroad, especially in the United States, but don't be afraid of everything.

In this tense mood, the time came to 9pm, and all users who had pre-ordered Luo Quan's new album received a reminder from the Penguin Music app, telling them that the new songs of the album were online.

At the same time, hot searches on Weibo are also directly arranged to let everyone see it first, and then increase the popularity.

"Luo Quan's new song "Listen" is shockingly released!"

Now is the peak period for young people to lie in bed playing with their mobile phones and scrolling through Weibo. Just click on the hot search to see it. The most popular thing in the music circle recently is probably the new album released by Luo Quan.

The second new song is released. Regardless of whether you are willing to spend money or not, you will still go in and take a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, as soon as you enter the comment area, you can see countless fanatical fans criticizing the comments.

The comment section is full of:

"Explode! I'm convinced by this singing ability."

"My mother asked me why I knelt down to listen to the song."

"I would like to call Luo Quan the best female solo artist in pop culture."

"How does she maintain the high notes of her real voice while also switching the notes so frequently? I almost got tongue-tied when I tried it."

"You're pretty good. I wanted to sing a cover, but when I reached the highest note, I screamed for lack of oxygen and almost fainted!"

"This singing skill is so awesome. I recommend participating in "The Singer Is Me" which will be broadcast in August this year. I feel that I am a sure winner."

"Don't brag like this. There are still many powerful singers in China, and the program team will also hire big names from abroad. Luo Quan may not necessarily be able to beat the others."

"I always thought Luo Quan was a singer-songwriter. I didn't expect him to be a capable singer. The quality of the treble is so strong, and the sound of breathing is almost impossible to hear!"

"Luo Quan's singing skills have always been very strong. I recommend you go to Station B to watch her sing "Unravel" at the Dongda University Singing Competition. Her performance was simply invincible."

"I used to criticize her because of some of her remarks, but now that I really got to know her, I instantly became a fan. Now that I think about it, are those negative points about her really considered negative?"

"It was originally just a response to the brainless trolls. It was a public figure who suffered the loss. Moreover, Luo Quan never said any bad words from beginning to end. On the contrary, his previous Weibo account was reported and banned by these trolls."

"There's nothing to say. Just kill the whole family if the mindless trolls kill you."

……………………

Facts have proved that when the public can see the strong strength you have displayed, some of the "black spots" in the past can be washed away.

Although Luo Quan never felt that these were her black spots.

But now the reputation has improved, from the previous negative comment to the negative comment, this is definitely what Luo Quan wants to see.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the number of fans has increased first. The number of fans has reached the five million mark. I don’t know how many real people there are.

Secondly, the pre-sales of the album increased by over 200,000, and the single "Listen" came from behind. Its sales exceeded the sales of "Someone like you" in a very short period of time, approaching the 1.5 million mark!

On the one hand, it's because Luo Quan's performance in "Listen" was so explosive that the whole Internet was talking about her and her song. Even if many passers-by didn't listen to her song, they would come to listen to it out of a herd mentality. song.

After all, it's only four yuan, so you can't suffer a loss or be cheated.

On the other hand, this is also thanks to Penguin Music changing its promotion strategy.

After learning the lesson of "Someone like you", they chose to release a clip of the song's climax first to let those who listen to the song know how good it is.

People are naturally resistant to things that are beyond their control. Although Luo Quan made a statement, he still didn’t know what the level of this song was. Unless he was a die-hard fan of hers, he would not easily spend money to buy the song.

But now that I can hear the clip, everyone's concerns have disappeared. Some songs only need to be listened to a little to know that they are good songs, and Luo Quan's songs are basically of this type.

The domestic situation is very good, but abroad, it is even hotter.

As Luo Quan's first English album, Universal has spent a lot of effort to promote it. Mainstream platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have all-round coverage. iTunes has started rolling out Luo Quan's upcoming album since yesterday. News about new album.

Many foreign netizens are actually looking forward to Luo Quan's new English songs. The songs he has written before are all classics, and they even won the most important Grammy Award.

The only fly in the ointment is that these are not sung by her.

The new song is released in the morning, when I am full of energy and do everything impulsively.

Through the developed network, the two new songs have swept through all major music platforms and websites in the United States in a short period of time. On the one hand, they have the full promotion of Universal Company, and on the other hand, there are countless netizens who are acting as tap water.

There is no special reason, it’s just that the song is nice and Luo Quan’s singing skills are amazing.

It’s been a long time since there has been such outstanding pop music in the American music scene. In recent years, the B-list has been basically occupied by rap. At a glance, it is all black rap.

Singers who once wrote pop music have also made compromises, either switching to rap writing or adding rap lyrics to their songs.

In recent years, the only popular music that can be listened to is "Baby" written by Luo Quan and "Seorita" sung by her and Leon.

The song is a little bit slobbery, but it sounds good. Young people like to listen to this kind of song. And even among all the slobbery songs, this is the top slobbery song. Lyon became the top celebrity in the United States with "Baby", and finally won the It won a Grammy Award, which shows how good it is.

The two songs written by Luo Quan are not as simple as saliva songs. Although the arrangement is simple, the melody is excellent, the singing is very difficult, and the connotation of the lyrics is also very good.

The lyrics of English songs have always been relatively straightforward, unlike Chinese songs that pay so much attention to the use of words.

One of the two songs talks about the process of spiritual healing after a breakup, and the other song talks about the weak party in love mustering up the courage to fight.

It is very in line with the current prevailing feminist thinking. It can be summed up in one sentence: If you don’t love, don’t love, and the next one will be better.

In fact, Luo Quan had no such idea at all, but the lyrics sounded like it had such a meaning.

Therefore, while Luo Quan's new song became a hit in the United States, it also unintentionally became a work that awakened his own feminist consciousness.

Of course, these were given to her by some Americans.

In China, the word "women's rights" has become a derogatory term due to too many misunderstandings by so-called "feminists". Women's rights are called boxing, and feminists are also called boxers. They are completely disgusting. Disgusting character.

But in fact, abroad, this is considered a neutral term.

Real feminists will never ask for anything from men, nor will they feel angry because of some baseless or inexplicable things that women are discriminated against.

They have been speaking out for girls and women who have been victims of domestic violence, for women who have been violated, and for women who have been discriminated against.

And I will never make money in the name of this kind of behavior.

Therefore, real feminists have a great reputation and are highly respected abroad.

This is why many people jokingly say that having this name will give you a gold medal to avoid death.

However, Luo Quan will never let any label be slapped on his head, especially "feminist", a label that has great contrast in domestic and foreign reviews and is more controversial.

To put it simply, I don’t want to wade into muddy waters.

So I sent a tweet to explain:

"I didn't think too much when I wrote these two songs, and I don't really have any concept of women's rights. But I know that this is a movement to help us women and fight for equality. I have always respected it very much, and I also hope that women all over the world Be able to get the power you deserve to live a better life.”

It can be said to be a watertight reply, which not only expressed his respect for women's rights, but also euphemistically and clearly distanced himself from his relationship with women's rights.

If she were more successful, she could add a promise such as "part of the album's income will be used to donate to feminist organizations."

But her money didn't come from the strong wind. No matter how much she didn't care about money, she couldn't be so defeated. If such a precedent was set, maybe various organizations would come to her in the future, such as vegetarianism, transgenderism, etc. People, homosexuality.

There are many such organizations abroad, and each of them is an "old man" level organization that cannot be disobeyed. If a celebrity is found, if he makes a mistake, he will be attacked by a group, and the entire network will be blacklisted. When the time comes, It's the end of being ruined.

In comparison, there are no such things in China. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

In short, Luo Quan's explanation did not arouse public disgust. Instead, they praised her as a good girl who is both talented and sensible.

The episode ended quickly, and Luo Quan’s name once again appeared on the trending searches on American Twitter.

Her works have become the two most erotic entries, and related tweets quickly exceeded 100,000. The two songs also quickly appeared on the new song charts of major music apps, and "Listen" also soared directly to the top of the list.

The current top spot on the B chart has changed from "We will rock you" to "Seorita".

This sweet choral love song, which had only appeared for a short time, almost became as popular as "Baby", ending the decades-long dominance of "We Will Rock You" in one sentence.

But all this will be a thing of the past. With such high popularity, Luo Quan's new album will definitely rise to the top of the B chart. In at most three days, the rankings of the top three will change drastically.

Fans are also intensely discussing whether "Listen" is better or "Someone like you" is better.

The advantage of the former is the most intuitive, that is, the songs are difficult to sing, and Luo Quan also performs at a divine level. The lyrics are sonorous and powerful, and they sing the voice of independent women.

In fact, the latter is not far behind. Although there are not many trebles, the technical difficulty is not much lower than that of "Listen".

But to understand it requires a certain amount of music theory knowledge, and the lyrics are more gentle, and are most popular among sentimental girls.

Which of the two is higher and which is lower? Fans from both parties argued for a long time but could not come up with an answer. In the end, they could only let the data from the B list do the talking.

After all, there can only be one at the top of the list.
