Chapter 591 An Unimagined Road

"Ordinary greatness!"

Billboard chart editor-in-chief and senior producer Myerson Carter published an article early in the morning.

At the beginning of the article, I used these words to describe Luo Quan’s new album song "Hey jude".

As a popular music list, the B list does not actually study the musicality of music as deeply as academics do.

This list is still based on sales. Data determines everything. The more you sell, the higher your ranking will be.

But having said that, if a song is really perfect, the market will definitely pay for it. After all, relying on fans to spend money just to get data on the B list will not work. It must be a truly excellent work.

However, in the current European and American music circles, singers seem to be paying more and more attention to the so-called musicality. They only focus on the richness of the arrangements, but ignore the pleasantness of the melody.

The songs they produce are all aimed at winning awards, but they use so-called art to force the public to applaud such songs.

This is outrageous, because in the film industry, those literary and artistic films that strive to win awards will never force box office. Even when the director was making this film, he would make it clear that he would lose money after the film is released.

However, many singers want to be both popular and popular, but the songs they write are not of such a standard, and in the end they have to blame the audience for their lack of appreciation. This is very shameless.

List B has been often scolded for this phenomenon for some time.

As a list that attracts the most attention from the public, fans are used to looking for good-sounding music on it.

However, the quality of the music found was plummeting, and in the end it was the B list that got the scolding.

In fact, the B list is also very helpless, because it is already the best-selling song on the market, and the songs at the bottom of the list are even less accessible.

After all, if a short person is tall, how tall can he be?

Fortunately, Luo Quan appeared, and she single-handedly changed the entire market ecology.

Before, it was the so-called musicality that came first, with arrangement as the main priority and melody as a supplement.

But now the melody is the main thing, and the arrangement is the supplement. Only when it sounds good will people pay for it.

And after listening to these songs by Luo Quan, I will only feel ridiculous when I listen to your so-called art?

I think that stitching together so many things is art. Art is meant to move people. These things probably only moved the author.

Since you like to enjoy yourself in isolation, and now there is something better, the fans are too lazy to settle for it. I will treat you like a layman, and you can continue to be elegant.

Therefore, under the efforts of Luo Quan alone, the quality of the B list has undergone earth-shaking changes. As long as it is ranked in the top 30, regardless of whether it is musical or not, it must be good in terms of musicality, because most of them They are all Luo Quan's songs.

Moreover, Luoquan’s music is not only high in quality, but also in high output.

Others may take two or three years to hold back an album, but since Luo Quan's debut, he has averaged one and a half albums per year in each language, and by the way, he also helps his relatives and friends to produce some songs.

With this kind of output, it is no exaggeration to say that she has supported half of the American pop music market in the past two years.

There is a term called the catfish effect, which means that if a pond is full of farmed fish and has no natural enemies, it will easily lose vitality and die.

But when a few catfish were put in the pond, under the threat of predators, the farmed fish had no choice but to escape desperately in order to avoid pursuit. Instead, the energy of the entire group became strong.

Luo Quan is the catfish in the pop music market.

No, she is probably a shark at her level. If her peers want to make more money, they can only write good songs to compete with others, and the previous musicality no longer works.

With good money driving out bad money, the quality of songs on the B list has improved a lot. This is definitely a very good phenomenon.

And just when everyone was working hard on the melody, Luo Quan's new song once again taught everyone a lesson.

A good song does not necessarily have to focus on the melody. Sometimes it affects the emotions of the audience, and the effect is equally good.

"Hey jude" is such a song. The melody and lyrics are very simple, but the more ordinary the song seems, the more you can feel its greatness.

The chorus in the second half of the song is so infectious that even if you are just listening to the music played on headphones, you will feel a sense of excitement and excitement.

Moreover, this is obviously a song made for big occasions. If it is sung live, the scene of tens of thousands of people singing together will be even more shocking!

This is the level a song can reach after it is emotionally invested.

This is true of "My Heart Will Go On", and so is "Everlasting Love". The reason why a classic is called a classic is definitely not simply based on the good melody or the illusory musicality.

After the release of "Hey jude", the editor-in-chief of the B list was one of the industry insiders who published articles relatively late. They mainly wanted to wait for the sales data of the song before seeing how to promote it.

As for fans, there is no need to go through so many procedures. This song was ranked on the top of the trending search that night, and its popularity is almost as high as that of "U.S. Stock Meltdown".

The most popular tweets generally use exciting language:

"This is a piece of music that I have been looking forward to for a long time. It is rare to hear this type of song now. I feel that surrounded by this song, all the disputes and sadness disappear, leaving only the music. It’s the first and purest emotion that comes.”

"Yes, it's so magical. A song can make people cry. I used to think this was a pretentious statement from others, but only after I experienced such a situation did I realize how naive my original idea was."

“I have lost a lot of money these days, my family’s savings are running low, I am under a lot of pressure, and I am a little overwhelmed. This song makes me feel a lot better.

Although the stocks in my hands are still falling, I have not sold them. I hope they will recover after a while. "

"My brother, I share my encouragement with you. I just hope that the damn stock market can return to normal soon, and that those bastards on Wall Street die soon."

………………

The speeches of unfortunate people can always resonate with people, and the emergence of "Hey jude" has allowed them to find some comfort and spiritual sustenance. It is estimated that these people can only regain their smiles in the world of music.

The Internet environment, which was originally overwhelmed by sadness, was suddenly dissipated by a song. As time went by, this influence spread rapidly due to the publicity of fans.

At noon the next day, many radio stations in the United States began to invariably request to play this song, whether it was homeless people, poor people, workers or middle class people.

They are all victims of the economic downturn. The material emptiness often needs to be made up for spiritually, and music is undoubtedly a very good choice.

As for "Hey jude", the lyrics are perfect for comfort.

In such a context, "Hey jude" has become a popular song that is on demand across the country.

The simple and catchy melody and lyrics make it easy to sing along. It only takes one time and the audience can hum along with it. This greatly improves the popularity of the song.

What really made this song nationally famous was a report on the evening TV news.

The report was not long, it just mentioned the song "Hey jude". When it was played on the street, it seemed that people couldn't help but sing along as soon as they heard the song, and then their smiles would appear.

I don’t know if it’s due to emotions, but the stock market, which has been falling for many days in a row, showed rare signs of turning red today. Although the magnitude is not large, it is definitely good news.

Although there is no relationship between a song and the rise and fall of the stock market.

But the TV station's reports forced a connection between the two.

Building momentum is sometimes as simple as that. When public opinion is aroused, even if it doesn't matter, it becomes relevant.

"Luo Quan once again used music to save the stock market?"

In Time magazine the next day, a related article appeared in line with current events. It first described Luo Quan's "glorious deeds" in Japan, and then speculated that this song would create the same miracle in the current United States.

Although the entire article uses a lot of uncertain words like maybe, maybe, and hope, the song "Hey jude" has indeed become a big hit.

In the past two days, not only the radio, but also the street speakers and the broadcasts in shopping malls were filled with this song. It was overwhelming and everywhere.

According to statistics, the global online play volume of this song exceeded 4 billion times in just two days, which is equivalent to all Americans playing it at least seven times a day!

This data has not appeared in the past ten years. Even "My Heart Will Go On", which became popular around the world again with "Titanic", did not reach this level.

There is a word called phenomenal songs.

Fans originally thought that "This Is America" ​​and "My Heart Will Go On" at the beginning of the year were already phenomenal.

But I didn’t expect that there is another mountain higher than the mountain.

With such a terrifying increase in playback volume, mainstream media finally began to report on it, once again bringing a huge wave of attention to the song.

It is worth mentioning that on the third day after the song was released, the U.S. stock market once again experienced a small increase.

It seems that as Time magazine speculated, people's emotions are really affected by a song?

Maybe there really is a reason for this, but most of the credit should be attributed to the fact that the money printed by the Federal Reserve is available.

Luo Quan himself did not become complacent because of this paradoxical situation, thinking that he had become the savior again.

To be honest, she really doesn't think her song can save the U.S. stock market. The situation this time is completely different from that in Japan.

However, it seems that fans, passers-by, and the media all want to put this credit on her head.

Especially the TV news program that was the first to report yesterday, it can be said to be the initiator of everything.

But what they did brought her a lot of popularity, and to be honest, she has to thank them.

Luo Quan thought about how to refuse the credit, and at the same time, it seemed that he was not taking advantage and being obedient.

It feels a little difficult, and speaking out at this time is actually quite disappointing for everyone, so there is no need.

Anyway, with her current fame, no matter how popular she is, she can still hold it.

In the past few days since the song has taken the world's pop music scene by storm, Luo Quan's crew has been receiving quite a few reporters every day, all wanting to interview her and get some hot material.

But once her workaholic mode started, she didn't want to pay attention to these people at all, and directly declined them all.

But there are no bad comments on the Internet because of her behavior. Instead, they think she is willful, cute, and very dedicated.

Luo Quan looked through the comments. Well, no one said that she was possessed by the lazy god, so he simply ignored the correct answer.

The ten songs of the album have been released, and the cumulative physical sales have reached more than 6 million, while the digital version has already exceeded 13 million, breaking the Guinness World Record.

Most of these credits should be attributed to the last song "Hey jude". It can be said that it is well deserved. It is not in vain that she put this song at the end.

This year’s music scene has not come to an end, and after filming for a few days, Luo Quan also flew to Incheon, South Korea.

The three most popular events in the world recently are the plummeting US stock market, Luo Quan's new album, and S8.

The influence of LOL is indeed terrifying. There are few events that can sweep across Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Almost all regions are involved.

After a battle that lasted for nearly a month, the S8 Global Finals will usher in the final decisive battle, with I Game facing off against FNC.

But before that, Riot Games will present a performance for summoners around the world that belongs to players.

The girl group, composed of five League heroines, will debut at the concert and bring their debut songs "Pop Star" and "More".

But summoners all know that the highlight of this girl group is actually Luo Quan.

Originally there were only four KDAs, and the setting was to perform in avatars, but this time a new hero was released, but it was bound to a star in reality, and the debut performance will also be performed by this star.

At this point, no reminder is actually needed. This star is Luo Quan.

In order to cosplay this heroine, Luo Quan dyed his hair pink many months ago. After waiting for so long, he finally waited until today.

Night was gradually approaching the Incheon Stadium, and the audience was eagerly waiting in their seats for the appearance of the "hot woman".

However, the first person to take the stage was the well-known host of Korean lol, that is, the "Roaring Emperor" because of his distinctive expression when speaking.

Hosted by Roar Emperor's iconic roar, the start of the S8 Championship Finals was announced, with the KDA girl group from Riot Games performing their debut song "Pop Star".

The stage lights were turned off, leaving only four cylindrical lights shining down from above. After a flash, four slim and fashionable heroines appeared on the stage, followed by the exciting and dynamic new song "Pop". star》!
