Chapter 265 The Tone of the New Album

After getting off the plane, Luo Quan, Fred and Seifert met at the hotel they had booked.

The three rooms were connected together. After Luo Quan put away his luggage, he came to Seifert's room.

"This is a new song for Leon." Luo Quan placed the two music scores in front of Seifert.

"As expected of you, you wrote it so quickly." Seifert quickly started reading the final song.

"Do you understand?" Luo Quan said with a smile when he saw Seifert studying it seriously.

"At least I can understand the lyrics." Seifert glanced twice and carefully put the music score into his backpack.

"I'll go back if nothing happens. The demo of the song will be sent to your mailbox later."

"Sorry to trouble you this time." Seifert did not forget to thank Luo Quan.

After getting the music score, Seifert acted quickly and immediately took a photo and sent it to Leon, asking him to familiarize himself with the lyrics and melody first, so that he could prepare for recording after the sample of the song sung by Luo Quan was sent.

In addition to this, Universal has also begun promoting the film.

Since the last album was released and became a hit, although Lyon has toured a lot around the world, there are not many new works.

On the one hand, he didn't have time to create his own work, and on the other hand, he was too embarrassed to ask Luo Quan for chapters one after another.

However, Universal was naturally overjoyed when Gui Gui once again received a new song written by Luo Quan.

There is no need to worry about the quality of Luo Quan’s songs, so the publicity department started marketing with confidence:

"Luoquan Lyon is collaborating again, and the new song will be released soon!"

Related hot searches made headlines in the United States and immediately became a hot topic among netizens:

"We've been waiting for the two of them to cooperate again!"

"Is it a chorus or Lyon's solo?"

"I hope to hear songs like "Love the way you lie" again. Their collaboration is really great."

"Such a golden boy should produce more works!"

"Luo Quan's singing and Lyon's rap are a perfect match!"

"According to the latest news, this is Leon's solo song, and there is no rap. It is a softer song."

"There is no hardcore rap from Leon, disappointed..."

"Leon's voice is actually quite suitable for singing gentle songs. Of course, he is also good at rapping. He is a truly all-round singer!"

………………

Lyon's popularity in the United States is similar to Luo Quan's popularity in Japan.

Luo Quan is the universal goddess, and Leon can basically be called the universal male god. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Leon shows up, he can cause women to scream, and he can almost ignore the age group.

Compared to Luo Quan, Lyon actually does not have that many works to support him. Although he has strength, it is far less obvious than Luo Quan.

However, most girls are emotional creatures. Fans of a celebrity usually look at their appearance first and then their performance, and the latter is far less important than the former.

After this news came out, on the one hand it aroused heated discussion among Lyon fans, and Luo Quan's own fans also came over one after another.

"It's been a while since I released a new album. When will it be released?"

"Looking forward to the new songs, the fishing period has been a bit long recently."

"It's been a long, long time since I heard Izumi-chan's Japanese song."

"Can you release a new song? Qiuli Gao..."

Luo Quan, who was scrolling through Twitter, saw these comments and suddenly realized that he had indeed not released a new song for a long time.

Although OPs and EDs have always been created for Japanese animation producers, these songs are generally not released in advance before the animation is produced.

In the past few months, the only songs Luo Quan has actually released seem to be the mini album he released after returning from Tokyo, and the three songs "The Great Wall", "Canon" and "Seve".

Sensing the resentment in the fans' words, Luo Quan immediately tweeted:

"Sorry, I have been idle for too long recently.

In one month's time it will be my one-year debut anniversary, and on the anniversary I will release a new album in Japanese! "

It's here, the new album that fans have been dreaming of is finally here!

Less than five minutes after the news came out, it immediately became a hot search topic on Twitter, Weibo, and Station B in Japan.

"After waiting for a long time, it's finally here!"

"As I guessed, Luo Quan plans to release a new album on the first anniversary."

"You all say that the album comes out slowly, but it always feels like her last album was released not long ago."

"That's because Luo Quan has to take care of fans in three languages. She has to release new songs in Chinese, Japanese and English. Besides her, which other singer can do that?"

"And this speed is not too slow. The previous English album "Love" is still selling well, with sales exceeding 30 million."

"It's amazing. There should be no singer in Asia who has achieved such an achievement, right?"

"No, there are relatively few around the world, and it's less than half a year!"

"No way, the quality of the songs is so good, several of them can be written into textbooks!"

"I actually hope Luo Quan can sing some Korean songs." This is a comment written in Korean.

In fact, her popularity in South Korea, after experiencing an initial decline, quickly recovered with the release of her works.

As South Korea claims to be the leader in Asia's fashion entertainment industry, it is quite easy for someone with a foreign face like her, good singing and singing, and a face that can be called a plastic surgery template to attract fans.

Although the number of fans is not as high as hers in China and Japan, it is definitely a lot.

Moreover, Korean fans know how to make data best, so several of Luo Quan’s albums have very good sales in South Korea.

Especially for Chinese albums, although the album "18" suffered a setback in China and was not well received by listeners other than fans in Japan, it has received quite good reviews and results in South Korea.

Especially those slow-tempo love songs are a must-play for young people nowadays in KTV.

In fact, Luo Quan also knows about these situations, but for some reasons, he has no intention of developing in that direction yet.

It's not that I don't want to go. Although the officials and many people there are a little disgusting, there are still many normal people.

If she wants to become a diva in Asia, it is impossible to bypass the country of South Korea.

It's just that the time has not come yet, she is waiting for a win-win opportunity.

Therefore, after seeing this Korean comment and the many echoing comments below, Luo Quan specially responded:

"I will probably write Korean songs in the future, but now I can only ask fans to wait patiently."

This was a positive answer from her head-on. Although some unpleasant things happened in Korea before, it did not affect her feelings towards Korean fans.

But I don’t know when to write the songs. Anyway, just wait and see. Maybe one day Luo Quan will be inspired and write ten songs in one day!

The focus right now is naturally this new Japanese album.

Generally speaking, when Luo Quan says she will release her new album early, she has probably already written several songs.

After all, after taking such a long break, no one would believe her if she didn't take the time to write a few songs.

For a genius like her, she could probably write a poem in just one meal.

So fans asked directly in the comment area:

"Can you tell me what the theme of the song is this time?"

"You must have written a few songs. Can you show us, even the title of the song?"

"In the past, some clips have been posted, and I can't wait."

Seeing these comments, Luo Quan was a little dumbfounded. When did these things have common names?

I feel like my past performances have made fans more indulgent.

However, her fans have such a right to indulge, so it is her, Luo Quan, who is the fan.

So Luo Quan quickly posted a new tweet:

“There are currently no plans for a new album, but it’s not that I’m lazy, because it’s the album’s first anniversary, so I want fans to participate in the production of this album.

You can post your requests for the songs you want to listen to in the comment area, and I will fulfill the wishes of those with the highest likes. "

It’s not that there are no singers who write songs for their fans, there are even quite a few.

But singers like Luo Quan are probably the only ones who allow fans to make requests in decades.

Only when you are extremely confident in your creative abilities can you dare to make such a promise.

In fact, Luo Quan has done something like this before, and he did it quite well.

She has always treated her fans equally, and after the Chinese album was released, she wanted to do the same for the Japanese album.

The results are obvious, fans are very satisfied with this, and thousands of comments appeared on Twitter almost in the blink of an eye.

Fans spoke enthusiastically, and after writing their own requests, they also started to like other comments they liked.

As before, Luo Quan plans to write ten songs for his new album. This time, only five songs will be decided by fans, and the remaining five songs will be decided by Luo Quan himself.

After visiting Station B for a while, most of the fans in China still don’t know what happens next. After all, there is a wall, so information exchange is not very convenient.

Luo Quan copied and pasted it and sent the two tweets to Station B.

It’s really hard to say who has more Chinese fans and Japanese fans in Luo Quan.

China has a large base, but Japan is more popular, but there are wall restrictions, so there is no need to worry about Chinese fans going to Twitter to disrupt the formation.

After browsing around, Luo Quan returned to Twitter and found that the situation in the comment area was already obvious. The five wishes at the top had become disconnected from the ones at the back.

The most liked comment:

"Well, I feel like this spring is not going very well. Can Izumi-chan write a song about spring? It would be better if it has a sense of mourning."

People in the island country are suffering from depression. I didn’t expect that such a rather negative comment would receive the most likes.

It seems that everyone is not having a very happy life this spring.

But since it was chosen by the fans, Luo Quan would definitely not refuse, so he copied it and pasted it into the memo.

Second comment:

"Izumi-chan is Chinese. In fact, China and Japan are very close culturally. I am also very interested in Chinese culture and history, so can you write a song about Chinese legends? In Japanese!"

Using a Chinese legend in Japanese is quite imaginative, but it feels a bit difficult.

Third comment:

“I want to listen to music that makes my blood boil!”

energetic! There is quite a bit of Showa boy style, and this comment seems to have become a gathering place for two hot-blooded teenagers.

It seems that not all young people in Japan are obsessed with mourning culture, and there are many people who are full of vitality.

Fourth comment:

"On behalf of older fans, I want you to write a love song with a more retro style. Those on the market today are too ugly."

Fifth comment:

"I hope Izumi-chan can write a family reunion song. I want my parents and I to sing it together."

The latter two are relatively simple wishes, and they do not deliberately make it more difficult for him, which gives her a lot of room to play.

After taking the screenshot, Luo Quan sent out his third tweet tonight:

"I have heard everyone's voices. These five comments are the elements that will appear in the next album. However, it will take about half a month to see the first song with you, because I have been filming abroad recently and have no equipment around me. Please Please forgive me."

After the matter was settled, Sony immediately called.

This time it was Miki who called directly. He always put work efficiency first, but he first talked to Luo Quan about old times, and then mentioned his willingness to buy the distribution rights of this album.

Luo Quan also agreed happily, without even mentioning the price, but he gave a reminder before agreeing:

"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for this album to sell as well as "Rite of Passage"."

This is a truth. After all, some of the songs in it are famous songs that cannot be reproduced. Coupled with the social sentiment at the time, such a legendary album appeared with the highest sales volume in the history of Asian music.

Luo Quan has no confidence in replicating such a miracle again.

But Miki is not worried: "Your reputation has been established, and as long as these songs are not particularly unpleasant, they will definitely sell well.

As for breaking the record of "Rite of Passage", to be honest, no one in the company thinks it can be achieved, at least not in a short period of time, so you don't have to worry too much about this. "

"In that case, I'm relieved." After Luo Quan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Miki looked at the phone and thought for a while. It seemed that there was something unfinished.

It took me a while to remember that the copyright fee this time had not been discussed with Luo Quan.

As Luo Quan's popularity grows, the price of her songs has also risen.

At the beginning, three songs only cost 20 million yen, but now, I'm afraid it's not that cheap.

However, Sony has never been stingy with Luo Quan. The price it paid Luo Quan this time was a sky-high price: one billion yen!

This is equivalent to half a billion yuan. Few companies dare to pay such a high copyright purchase fee to a singer without hearing the song demo.

But for Sony, Luoquan is worth such a price!

This is still based on Luo Quan's feelings for them. If this is their first cooperation, the copyright purchase fee will probably not be this price.
