Chapter 346 Overseas

The National Day holiday is over, and most students reluctantly returned to school after experiencing the third longest holiday.

A lot of things have happened in the past few days. For example, the ratings of the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala broke records and rebounded, and Luo Quan became famous in China.

Not long after that, Luo Quan released a new album, and the quality exploded, once again triggering an upsurge in purchases and discussions across the Internet.

Another thing is that "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released. This fantasy masterpiece used the gimmick of Luo Quan's composition in China to attract many fans of Luo Quan without the original IP. It earned more than 2,000 yuan on the first day of its release. The box office of the film exceeded 100 million in three days, and the Douban score was as high as 8.5.

In the United States, "Pirates of the Caribbean" also took in more than 70 million US dollars at the box office. It was both well-received and well-received. It has a Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of 90%, which means that 90% of people think this movie is very good and meets the criteria. expected.

Other than that, there are no other special events. Luo Quan’s three new songs have begun to sweep through major domestic charts, and Bilibili and Douyin have also started covering them overwhelmingly.

Because Penguin is very strict about copyright, these songs by Luo Quan can only be covered and cannot be used in the BGM of the video. However, it is possible to use the cover version as the BGM of the video, but it does not sound that interesting. .

After spending every day in the recording studio these days, Luo Quan did not stay in the dormitory and mope after returning to the station. Instead, he took a walk on the school playground to lose weight.

Freshman courses are relatively easy. In fact, art courses are relatively easy. Most of what is learned in class is theoretical knowledge, and more students have to practice and practice after class.

Therefore, in school, there is far more time after class than in class, but it is unknown how many students will practice seriously after class.

Anyway, Luo Quan doesn't practice very often. Occasionally, when he has nothing to do, he goes to the piano room to play the piano for a while and practice his skills.

After walking on the playground for a while, Luo Quan met Lin Zheyuan, who ran into the playground panting wearing a sports jacket and trousers.

"Hey, you're here to lose weight too." Luo Quan greeted with a smile.

"Why don't you lose weight? The physical test will be held in a while. The physical test for juniors and seniors is very strict. If you don't meet the standard, you won't even be able to get your diploma by then!" Lin Zheyuan looked helpless when talking about this matter. The most talented photographer in the history of art, he originally thought he could get some preferential treatment from his mentor and avoid this fatal 1,000-meter long-distance race.

However, the instructor's words made him feel cold: "Don't think that because you are my apprentice, you can skip the physical test. If your body is not up to standard, you should repeat the grade. It will not work for anyone!"

If he had the body that stayed up all night in high school without feeling sleepy, he could easily run under four minutes.

But now, even running and walking quickly, six minutes is enough, and after running, you will basically have half your life left.

During several exams, he didn't faint when he saw some classmates running. If he had really run at a qualified speed, he would probably end up like this.

Fortunately, there is still a while before the in-body test. It is better to practice at this time than to do nothing.

Luo Quan looked at Lin Zheyuan with a strange smile on his face: "You look in good health. You can't run even four and a half minutes in 1,000 meters, right? No, right?"

Lin Zheyuan immediately retorted: "It's just that I have been obsessed with art in the past few years and neglected to exercise. I think I was the runner-up in the 1,000-meter long-distance race in my grade back then!"

Luo Quan chuckled: "I only know that there are medals for the first, second and third place. Does the second place also have medals? Is there an iron card as a reward?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Lin Zheyuan waved his hand and ended the topic. Suddenly he looked up at Luo Quan: "I heard that you want to take a swimsuit photo shoot, right? Do you want help?"

The corners of Luo Quan's lips curled up: "It's a beautiful thought. It's not necessarily a photo or not. Besides, even if I want to take a photo, I won't find a male photographer."

Lin Zheyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the point of this? Sooner or later you will see it after taking the photo. And I didn't recommend myself. What I mean is, do you want me to find a female photographer for you?"

Luo Quan became a little more serious: "Do you know many of them?"

Lin Zheyuan waved his finger: "Not much, but I happen to have a senior sister. She is the second most talented student in the history of Shangyi Photography Department. She has a good relationship with me. Now she is the queen of photography for major domestic women's magazines. Master, his skills are quite good."

"The second tallest, who is the tallest?"

"Needless to say? Isn't it obvious?" Lin Zheyuan gave a thumbs up proudly, and then fell to himself.

Luo Quan disdainfully said: "You are quite good at bragging. Practice more. Be careful that you, the first-year talent in the photography department, will not be able to graduate by then!"

Lin Zheyuan smiled helplessly: "Then do you want my senior sister's contact information? Although 100 million US dollars is not a small goal, I always think it can be achieved!"

Luo Quan looked strange: "You won't make a contribution too, right?"

Lin Zheyuan smiled and said nothing.

Luo Quan gave him a disgusted look: "Send me your senior sister's contact information later."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

On the way back to the dormitory, Luo Quan opened the crowdfunding column of Station B again. She had saved this column herself. Every time she entered Station B, she would take a look at the crowdfunding amount. It was 7% higher than the sales figure of her new album. Heart.

As the popularity grows, the amount of crowdfunding increases faster and faster. Now it has exceeded 40 million, and more and more people are participating.

It is obviously not reassuring to have such a huge sum of money in the hands of one person. The "Xiahou Dun who pecked the eyes" who launched the crowdfunding also announced his home address. It is in a luxury community in Shenzhen. Only the very rich can't. Check in.

With this positioning in mind, fundraisers feel a little more at ease.

However, after the initial enthusiasm passed, when everyone calmed down and calculated, they found that they alone, die-hard fans who were willing to spend money, could not collect as much as 100 million US dollars.

Luo Quan is so popular in Japan that he sold more than 30 million copies of his three Japanese albums, each priced at a few hundred yuan, and his final income was less than 100 million US dollars.

Although there are many people in the country, it is still not as popular as Luoquan in Japan.

Therefore, 100 million US dollars is an absolutely impossible task for domestic A-Zhai.

After thinking clearly, many people backed down in the comment area. Although the amount of crowdfunding is still growing at a rising rate, the public opinion environment has obviously turned bad.

Fortunately, not many people have clamored for a refund so far. Since they are willing to take out the money, it means that they really like Luo Quan, or at least they are sincere LSPs. Anyway, even if they can't raise so much, they can still refund, so they have already paid. Those who paid the money did not want to get their money back immediately just because they recognized the reality.

Luo Quan was really surprised when he saw so much money raised in just two days, but thinking about it from another perspective, this is equivalent to fans making rankings for their own celebrities.

It's just that those fans spend money to buy products endorsed by celebrities, or buy singles, movie tickets, etc., while these fans of mine just want to see photos.

In this way, the data of more than 50 million does not seem so outrageous, because these domestic young talents, fans and crowdfunding data are all aiming to exceed 100 million.

For example, a top domestic male idol named Li Feng's new single "Light" and Luo Quan's first Chinese album "18" were released almost at the same time. The former's sales exceeded the latter's, and eventually sold 140 million extremely high sales.

This is the data generated through crowdfunding by fans. The quality of the song is actually not important. What is important is whose song it is.

"Sure enough, girls still have stronger spending power than boys." Luo Quan smiled and closed Station B.

This crowdfunding seems to be a big deal, but the rain is small. The maximum limit is probably 200 million yuan.

That night, Luo Quan released two new songs: "Listen to Mom" ​​and "Ten Years".

They are still two good songs of extremely high quality. The melody, lyrics, and adjectives that can be used to praise Luoquan have been overused these days. It is similar to the situation when "Love" released new songs before. None of them are Hip-pulling!

The first is "Listen to Mom". Like "Nocturne", it combines rap and pop, but the style is completely different. The former is cheerful and warm, full of love for mother.

Just as she once said when Guinness World Records certified her as the "most beautiful human face", the most beautiful human being in this world is always the mother.

It can be seen that Luo Quan is full of respect and love for his mother. Unfortunately, Luo Quan did not mention his mother much during the interview, and there were not many related photos.

However, in the public imagination, this must be a good mother who is beautiful, virtuous and good at raising children, otherwise she would not be able to raise such an excellent daughter.

Regarding these speculations from netizens, Luo Quan feels that they are basically inseparable. The reason why she was admitted to the University of Tokyo was thanks to her mother's earnest teachings.

It's a pity that when she encounters things related to her father, she loses her mind. Fortunately, she doesn't need to worry about these anymore.

And "Ten Years" is a quite tasteful love song.

The lyrics of this song are really difficult to write without the complete emotional experience from love to separation to reunion and relief.

In other words, the lyrics of this song are just like its title. Without ten years of emotional experience, how could such an unforgettable experience come about.

As a result, rumors emerged again that Luo Quan had been in love but was deeply hurt.

Fans like to imagine, and it is a common phenomenon to arrange plots for songs. Luo Quan has encountered such a situation before. After releasing "My Heart Will Go On", fans directly arranged a life and death sequence for her that is comparable to "Butterfly Lovers" Love, the story was well written, and she was quite fascinated by it.

But this thing is fundamentally wrong. No matter how well written it is, it is just a story.

Originally, she wanted to post another clarification in the news, but she always felt that clarifying it every time she posted a love song would feel a bit like having no money, and clarifying every time would be quite tiring.

Fans have finally found something to cheer themselves up, and it is indeed a bit cruel to pop the instant noodles with their own hands, so just let it go.

However, my silence this time gave this rumor a stronger foothold. For a while, things about Luo Quan's mysterious lover were uploaded on Weibo.

But anyone with a discerning eye would know that this story was made up, because no man in the world would be stupid enough to break up with Luo Quan.

"Monitor, are you really not in love?" Lin Yizhu asked Luo Quan with red eyes in the dormitory.

Just now she was reading the love story compiled by Weibo netizens for "Ten Years". It was so touching that it made her cry.

When I came back and asked about it, Luo Quan directly said that it was all false. Please believe the rumors.

Luo Quan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I've never talked about it before. When I was a kid, a group of classmates thought I was a golden retriever. They all thought I was weird. Who could like me?

I went to an all-girls school in high school, so where can I find boys to fall in love with? "

Lin Yizhu didn't believe it: "How does it sound like you made it up? Even a child will have a crush on beautiful girls, right?"

Luo Quan was completely helpless: Okay, I admit it. We talked about it. I was six years old at the time, and I fell in love with a two-year-old little brother next door. He was really the most handsome boy I have ever seen in my life, even more handsome than my brother. , it blinded my eyes with its handsomeness..."

Lu Yao burst out laughing: "Yizhu, don't push the monitor. You see, you've forced the squad leader to start talking nonsense."

Zhang Yun burst out laughing: "How come this boy's character is similar to a brainless female channel novel I read? He is also a boy who has been inhumanly handsome since he was a child. The doctors and nurses who delivered him were so handsome right after he was born. ”

"Really not." Lin Yizhu sighed.

"You sound disappointed." Luo Quan looked at her dumbfounded, but then he thought about it, it was normal for girls to gossip, and Lin Yizhu was also the most gossipy among them, asking questions all day long like a curious baby.

It is relatively simple for people in the same dormitory to explain it, but it is not so easy to magnify it to the entire network, and it cannot be solved by clarifying it once or twice.

People will only believe what they want to believe. What people don't believe, even if it is the truth, will be considered false.

The emotional story about Luo Quan has been a hot topic on Weibo recently, with various versions and plots emerging one after another, and even many short stories.

Luo Quan didn't go to see it. Anyway, as long as it didn't involve any illegal content, it didn't matter.

Generally speaking, this kind of story is good for the sales of her album. Taken together, "Ten Years" is currently the second best-selling song, second only to the title song "Nocturne".

If the public is really more accepting of this kind of "song", she, who has always been relatively utilitarian, will consider whether to produce more songs of this type in the future.

Luo Quan felt as if she had found the password to wealth.

At the same time, Luo Quan, who has been silent on the Twitter trend list for some time, has once again become the focus of foreign netizens.

However, this time it’s not because of the new album that it’s trending on Twitter.

Pd. Thanks to book friends Jiuba Daka and L224 for the book coins, thank you!
