Chapter 281 Participating in Tour
"How do you evaluate Luo Quan's words during the live broadcast?"
Zhihu's reaction to Luo Quan's words and deeds is even more sensitive than Station B. Luo Quan is still live broadcasting, and the issues here are on the hot list.
The question refers to Luo Quan's answer to a question from the audience in the live broadcast room this morning: Is her face worth 100 million US dollars?
Zhihu users have also discussed this issue:
"One hundred million U.S. dollars is too low. Even with Luo Quan's face, even a billion dollar insurance policy seems too low to me."
"I personally think it is priceless. This is the most beautiful face recognized by the plastic surgery industry that cannot be copied. It is the only one in the world!"
"It really makes me sad to see Luo Quan live broadcasting in the hotel every day and discussing these non-nutritive issues with his fans.
If you have this free time, why don't you think about writing more good songs?
Luo Quan's talent makes people admire him, and Luo Quan's laziness is really helpless. "
"If nothing else happens, she will probably stay in the hotel for the next month to broadcast live. If she is in a good mood, maybe she will write a song or two..."
………………
In the afternoon, Luo Quan took the time to browse Zhihu for a while, and was quite speechless when he saw these "I hate iron but cannot become steel" answers.
She has written so many songs in the past six months, and yet she is said to be lazy. Is this appropriate?
Even when a sow gives birth to a baby, there must be a buffering period for pregnancy. These people really treat her as a songwriting machine and don't leave any time for her to rest.
Besides, she didn't say she would continue playing until September, so she had to give her a break. Everything has its own rules. The new album has just been released, so how can new songs be released so soon?
After dinner in the evening, Luo Quan posted a message on station B: "Friends, the live broadcast will not be possible in the next few days. Love music is touring China, and I have to help."
Tomorrow is the last show of the Love music band's global tour. The Shanghai Stadium can accommodate 80,000 people.
Kumoi Akira had told Luo Quan about this matter a week ago. In addition to singing on stage together, Luo Quan also wanted to produce a new rock album for Love Music when they met this time.
Although during the tour, Akira Kumoi and Natsuko Miyano also wrote some songs, two or three of which were well received, but the others were relatively average.
Luo Quan is also a nominal bassist in the band Love Music, and rarely participates in any of the band's activities. After such a long time, it was his job to help the band produce an album.
In fact, for her, writing songs for a rock band is the easiest, because the greatest works in the history of music are basically rock songs, and they are also all-round works that take into account artistry, music, and ideology. It is the best of the best.
But she hasn't chosen yet, so there's no rush. Everything has to wait until the concert is over.
At the same time that Luo Quan posted this news, Weibo also had a hot search for the band Love music.
With Universal as their backing, they don’t have to worry about traffic.
As one of the hottest bands in the world right now, Lobe music band enjoys considerable popularity all over the world.
Frequent performances allow the band members to grow extremely quickly.
The performance, playing skills, and singing skills are completely different from last year.
Although the members of this band are all Asian, their popularity in the West is quite high. Every tour is sold out, and there are many encores. Tickets for the concerts are also hard to get.
The gong-breaking voice that once troubled Akira Kumoi has become a major signature of the band. His voice has even been included in the list of the most recognizable singer voices, ranking second.
If we only look at the fanaticism of the fans, the Love Music band as a whole is stronger than Luo Quan, and the number of fans is about the same.
In fact, the preparation for the last tour started a week ago, and the tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale.
At that time, Universal told music fans that there would be a heavyweight guest on this tour. Everyone thought it would be some big star from China, but they didn't know it was Luo Quan until today.
Five minutes later, the price of scalped tickets increased fivefold. However, even so, thousands of scalped tickets were being bought at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The smaller the number, the more expensive the tickets are. The best front row VIP tickets even sold for a whopping 80,000 yuan!
It's no wonder the fans are so crazy. This is Luo Quan's first concert in China.
It had been held once before in Japan, but it was a charity event, and there were many celebrities performing, but she didn't sing a few songs.
After that, she never performed on stage for a long time.
With Luo Quan's extremely salty personality, maybe this will be her only chance to appear in a concert this year.
Luo Quan's fans, as long as they have the conditions, cannot let go of this opportunity.
If you miss this village, you won’t have this store.
While fans of the band and Luo Quan were discussing on Weibo that it was difficult to buy tickets, Luo Quan had already booked a flight to Shanghai.
The next day, Luo Quan arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport carrying a small suitcase.
We found the hotel room where Suzune and the others were staying. The two girls were in their own beds. Natsuko was already awake, but Suzune was still sleeping in.
Luo Quan knocked on the door.
"Luo Quan!"
Natsuko opened the door and saw the face she hadn't seen for a long time.
Ling Yin, who was still sleeping, instantly turned over and rushed towards Luo Quan screaming.
The three girls immediately hugged each other and screamed happily.
"Why are you so noisy in the morning? It's still open at night." Amuro Yuu yawned and opened the door to see Luo Quan. His body suddenly shook, and then he smiled: "Why didn't you tell us in advance when you arrived?"
"Don't I want to give you a surprise?" Luo Quan said with a smile, "Where is the captain? Still sleeping?"
Luo Quan was about to shout, but Yu Amuro waved his hand: "The captain has been frustrated in love recently and is very depressed."
"Is there still this matter?" Luo Quan suddenly became interested in gossip, pulled Amuro Yuu into the two girls' rooms, closed the door and said, "Tell me what's going on."
"During a previous tour in London, the captain met a British girl named Layla. She was quite beautiful and had a crush on the captain. The two often chatted online.
However, after the girl found out that the captain was the home and leader of a rock band, she immediately became much colder. The captain was almost depressed because of this incident. "
"Why?" Luo Quan looked puzzled.
Amuro Yuu scratched his head: Maybe this girl was misled by the stereotype of rock and roll. The UK is a popular place for rock and roll. There have been many famous rock bands, and many of the members of these bands played wildly and took drugs. , abuse, TXL, violence, almost all of them.
And the more influential a band is, the more common this phenomenon becomes.
After Layla searched for our band, she almost said goodbye to the leader directly. "
"This matter..." Luo Quan smiled helplessly.
They play rock and roll well, and most of them have strong personalities and distinct personalities. It would be no exaggeration to say that all of them are prodigals.
Looking at the Hall of Fame bands in the history of rock and roll, there are really not many that don't have negative news.
Perhaps fans will support their idol's indulgent behavior and think it is a reflection of the rock spirit and yearning for freedom.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, there is not much difference between this and bad people, and it has nothing to do with whether the singing is good or not.
However, having spent a lot of time with senior Akatsuki Kumoi, Luo Quan knew that he was not such a person.
Luo Quan was curious: "Didn't the captain explain it to Leila?"
Ringtone sighed: "The captain was blocked without even saying a few words to Layla. He doesn't have Layla's phone number either. Now he has completely lost contact and has no chance to explain.
It was because of this incident that the captain was anxious and sad. "
Luo Quan held his chin in the tiger's mouth and thought for a while.
Suddenly she clapped her hands: "I have an idea. I can rely on the influence of the band. The British love rock so much. If there is a new song with enough influence, it will definitely be played in the streets. Leila will definitely have a chance." Hear it!”
Natsuko was curious: "Then how do we let Leila know that this is the captain talking to her?"
"Simple, leave it to me!" Luo Quan smiled, already having a plan in mind.
Then, Luo Quan came to Yunjing Xiao's room.
The latter was still sleeping. There were a lot of wine bottles on the ground, but luckily there were no cigarette butts.
"Senior Yunjing?" Luo Quan shouted.
"ZZZ"
He slept soundly and didn't seem too sad.
When she was sad, she probably couldn't even sleep.
Seeing no reaction, Amuro Yuu kicked him forward.
"What are you doing?" Kumoi Akatsuki was suddenly kicked in the buttocks, and the pain was overwhelming. He opened his eyes and sat up.
"Luo Quan!" When Yun Jingxiao saw Luo Quan suddenly appearing in front of him, the corner of his mouth curled up, feeling surprised and happy.
But soon his expression turned down: "You're here."
"What's your expression? Are you so unhappy seeing me?" Luo Quan asked knowingly.
"Sorry, I've been in a bad mood recently." Akira Kumoi's voice was low, and his whole person was wrapped in melancholy, which was very similar to Yu Amuro last year.
"Are all people trapped by love like this?" Luo Quan spread his hands and looked at Yu Amuro.
Amuro Yu smiled awkwardly: "Ah, there is nothing we can do about this."
It seems that last year he was more desperate than the captain.
"Kumui-senpai, Amuro-san has already told me about you. Being so cowardly because of your feelings is not your usual character."
"I know, but..." Yumoi Akatsuki said and sighed again.
"Maybe there's something I can do to help you?"
"Really!" Yunjing Xiao suddenly became energetic.
"Really." Luo Quan nodded: "But you have to cheer up. We have a concert tonight. How can you face the fans in this state?"
"As long as you can help me contact Leila, I'll be fine no matter what you do!"
Now that there was hope of resolving the worries that had been bothering him for a long time, Kumoi Akatsuki suddenly regained his former vitality, and the other three people who had been worried about him also breathed a sigh of relief.
At noon, Luo Quan met with the head of Universal's Love music band, and they discussed the production direction and details of the band's new album.
The person in charge proposed that Luo Quan also sing two songs. Luo Quan thought about it and did not refuse.
Through the band, she can also make a name for herself,
Although rock music no longer has the influence it had in the last century, it still has many loyal fans. After all, this music genre is destined to never go out of style. No matter when, there will be bands that will go down in history.
Of course, the premise is that there must be excellent works.
In China in this life, the rock music atmosphere is quite good. Related topics are discussed in forums no less than other types. And just like in previous lives, rock music is also at the top of the contempt chain.
The discussion between the two parties was not very long. Universal was very confident in Luo Quan's ability. All matters related to the album production were fully under Luo Quan's control. Any needs could be raised.
Luo Quan only has one demand, and that is to provide her with the equipment to make the album, and leave the rest to her.
Nowadays, there are very few singers like Luo Quan who are completely self-produced.
The Grammy's current evaluation of music focuses more and more on the variety of melodies, diverse musical elements, and distinctive arrangements and timbres.
These things involve music sampling and a lot of professional techniques. It is very difficult for a singer-songwriter who was born in Noluzi to complete an award-winning song by himself.
Therefore, the producer list of many songs now has a long list of names. There are almost no singers like Luo Quan who only have one name from beginning to end of their works.
This is different from that of Huaxia. For many of Huaxia's songs, the producer list only has the name of the singer, but in fact the production of a song is more than just lyrics, composition and arrangement.
In order to establish the personality of singer-songwriters for their artists, the company will also deliberately omit the names of these producers.
In short, it can be said that there are very few singers like Luo Quan in the music circle who can complete the production of an entire album independently.
No company is willing to let go of such talents.
Unfortunately, Luo Quan has not signed an artist contract with any company. Sony and Universal have both thought about it and put it into action, but they have not been successful.
Fortunately, they can still cooperate with each other. Sony, Universal and Luo Quan all have good relations, and Luo Quan gives them priority every time he releases a song.
Of course, there must be a lot of money to be given.
Although Luo Quan is nominally a member of the band Love Music, after all, it was Universal who approached her to invite her to sing, so she still needs to pay some hard work.
Luo Quan's price was not high, one song was worth 1.5 million US dollars, and like the other members, he would get a share of the album's sales.
If there are ten songs in an album, Luo Quan can directly get 15 million US dollars in pre-tax income. It is said to be a friendly price, but in fact it is already relatively expensive.
But in her opinion, compared with the songs she was going to take out, the price was not much different from giving it away for free.
She is not so confident about other songs, but for rock, she really has too many good songs to write.
In particular, Akatsuki Kumoi's voice is so good that he can basically handle most rock songs.
After the album contract was negotiated, Luo Quan signed his name on it.
The concert will be held tonight, and she can write the first song this afternoon. It is also a song she helped Kumoi Akira come up with to express her love for Layla.
