Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 191 "Love"

Ps. Thank you for the book currency rewarded by the dead soul of the book friend, thank you!

After the song was played, Luo Quan asked, "How is it, is it okay?"

Seifert analyzed: "A very good song. The vocal style is different from your previous ones. It feels a lot thicker."

Luo Quan nodded: "Because I use a lot of chest voice, it's a new practice."

"Okay, wait for your song to be sent to my Google mailbox, and I will send it back to the headquarters immediately to prepare for publicity." When it comes to work, Seifert has become a lot more serious.

Leon asked: "By the way, you said that you would collaborate with me on a song. Has the song been written yet?"

"Okay." Luo Quan turned around and took out a document from the suitcase, and handed it to Leon.

After getting the song, Leon didn't read it immediately, he just stood up and said, "Then we won't keep any more."

This time Seifert left happily, after all, he had something important to do.

Only Wen Xia and Luo Quan were left in the room.

"By the way, how is Junzi getting along with other students in the dormitory?" Luo Quan only had time to ask Junzi's recent situation.

Luo Quan said softly: "It's not bad. Although I'm new here and I'm a foreigner, I still have three or four good friends in the dormitory, especially Jiang Yun'er. The two seem to have a better relationship than other students. "

Luo Quan nodded: "It's normal, after all, in China, they all come from foreign countries... Now that the strength of the students is almost demonstrated, do you think these people can compete with Korean girl groups?"

Wen Xia frowned slightly: "If it's just a comparison with the second-tier girl groups, it's a [-]-[-] split."

"Second line? It's only [-]-[-]!" Luo Quan never expected such a result, "This is already the best girl group trainee in China, no matter how hard we screen, we can't find a better one."

Wen Xia sighed: "I know, but the situation is just like this, there is no point in arguing.

In fact, it is already very good to be able to compare with the second-tier girl groups. Above the second-tier girl groups are the first-tier and trendy girl groups. Now there are students who have the strength of members of the trendy girl groups. If you don’t count me, Jiang Yuner is the only one. , Yue Wei, Xu Yuelin, Junzi, each counts as half. "

"Half of them are here." Luo Quan felt amused when he heard that, "That means these three are at most at the level of first-tier girl groups?"

Wen Xia nodded: "And it's not a very top-notch one."

"Are those girl groups in Korea really that strong?" Luo Quan really couldn't believe that idols could be so outrageously strong in such a small area.

"Jiang Yun'er, have you seen it? What do you think of her?"

Luo Quan thought about it seriously: "I see, the strength is indeed very strong, it can be said to crush all domestic idols...except you and Chu Xiang."

Wen Xia said in a deep voice: "Sweet girl, the girl group I was in before, and the five members including me, have similar basic strengths to her, and in the fourth generation group, there are at least two girl groups with similar strength to Sweet girl, and Before the fourth generation, there are one, two, and three generations of girl groups, and the strength becomes stronger as they go forward.

Moreover, some five-generation girl groups are about to debut or have already debuted..."

Luo Quan fell silent when he heard this.

From this point of view, the Korean girl group is indeed ridiculously strong.

"But it's not completely inferior to that side, it's just that you still have me." Luo Quan thought for a long time, and finally found a point that can compare with the Korean girl group.

Wen Xia said with a smile: "You have always been a great motivation for me to persevere, after all strength can be developed with time, but no matter how much time is spent on a good song, I may not be able to get a good song.

Those three songs of yours are really good. When the night is quiet and I'm at a loss about the future, just looking at them will immediately fill me with confidence. "

"Do you want to be so sensational?" Luo Quan folded his arms, feeling numb.

"Too lazy to talk to you!" Wen Xia gave Luo Quan a hard look, stood up, and walked out of the room angrily.

Seeing this childish scene, Luo Quan could only shake his head and laugh.

At ten o'clock in the evening, at the urging of Zhou Yangwen, Penguin Music finally released the news of Luo Quan's new album:

"Luo Quan's new English album "Love" is exclusively released nationwide!"

There are many news contents, the first is an introduction to Luo Quan.

Although Luoquan does not have a few awards yet, his talent has long been well-known, and domestic and foreign media have also rushed to report it. All the titles given are basically worthy of him, and he can be called a musical genius who emphasizes both talent and art.

This album is Luo Quan's third album, and it is also the first full-English album. She herself and the people of the country have placed high hopes on this album, hoping to win a Grammy for Huaxia.

If successful, this will be a very meaningful album in the history of domestic pop music, even if there is basically no Chinese in it.

Then, there is the preface to the album written by Luo Quan himself:

"19 years old is the age at which a teenager can really feel the taste of love and understand what love means.

At the beginning of love, we all thought it was love when we met the eyes of the person whose heart was moving, but in fact it was just the touch of two restless hearts in a moment.

True love is far from being so simple. Compared with possession and pleasure, I think love is more of a responsibility, a vow.

It is not the enthusiasm of saying [-] words of "I love you" to you every day, nor is it just opening your mouth to say "the sea is dry and the stone is rotten, and it will last for a lifetime."

It is the scorching summer, a cattail fan that will always shake for you when you are the hottest; it is the harsh winter snow, a thick coat that will always be put on your shoulders when you are shivering due to the cold wind.

How much vigor and vitality there are are finally worn away by time, and finally become flat.

Yeats has a poem that sums up the truth of it all:

How many people love your charming and charming time,

Love your beauty from false or true,

But only one loves the sincerity of your soul,

Love the sorrowful weather on your fading face
This is what 19-year-old me understands about true love.

Of course, although I created this album called "Love", I have never even had the most basic form of love - "Huaichun", let alone who I fell in love with.

Therefore, all the inspirations for the songs in the album come from the love in fairy tales I have read, the love in real life, and the love of my parents. "

Luo Quan wrote such a long series of disgusting prefaces, but he didn't actually have any idea of ​​being a literary youth. He just wanted to find a suitable excuse for himself to be able to write this album.

After all, she has never been in a serious relationship for more than 40 years in her two lives since she was a child. It is really unreasonable to create an album about love.

And if it is explained in this way, it will be much more pleasing to the eye.

After the news came out, it rushed to the top five in less than 10 minutes, and every 5 minutes, the ranking rose by one, until it was second only to the trending search "Lyon joined the creation of Girls' Generation".

Comments from all sides quickly poured in:
"It's so productive. I just released two Japanese songs on Station B, and the new English album is here."

"Ning is not open for three months, open for three months?"

"This little composition made me cry."

"Old Wenqing is young, and he has always been good at writing literary and artistic essays."

"It turns out that I'm not the only one who soloed from the mother's womb, I = Luo Quan!"

"Understand at night level."

"It's still a little different. Everyone looks down on Luoquan, but everyone looks down on you."

"You talk so fucking hurtful."

"What about the song? Just one piece of news?"

"Don't worry, Penguin Music Luoquan's personal homepage already has the title of the title song, but it's white for the time being, and the audition will only be available at 10:30."

"what is it call?"

""Someone like you""

........................

Netizens discussed enthusiastically, and at the same time waited for the unblocking of the song with excitement. Zhihu and station B also had related discussions, and the heat was accumulating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But after the song was unsealed, not many people listened to it, but there was a lot of scolding:
"Damn it, you have to pay for the pre-release version too?!"

"And you can only listen to it after paying, and you don't even have a trial listening. If it doesn't sound good, can't you get a refund?"

"Crazy thinking about money, I'm a luxury green diamond VIP member, can't I even try it out?"

"I asked you to go whoring for nothing last time. This time, I learned how to behave. If I want to listen to music, I will charge first."

"It's a bit expensive to be honest. An electronic album costs 30 yuan for ten songs, but it costs four yuan to sell one song alone!"

"Six yuan is enough for me to open VIP for 20 days. What songs do I want to hear but can't hear?"

"You can't hear this song (funny)."

To be honest, Luo Quan had imagined many possible evaluations, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Isn't it normal to charge for listening to music?There is no way to prostitute for free, so there is no need to be so righteously indignant?

It is true that Penguin Music has set the price a bit higher, but compared to the albums of domestic traffic stars, the price is only ten yuan more expensive. The electronic albums sold by foreign stars in China start at [-], and none of them People think it is expensive.

That is to say, her nationality is Chinese, and she naturally feels that Chinese singers are not worthy of receiving money for singing. If she is a foreigner, those who feel expensive will probably not fart.

There is no way, the national conditions are like this, the songs of so many powerful singers in China are basically free, even if there is a fee, it is just a membership, which is only 15 yuan a month.

So much so that everyone has no habit of spending more money to listen to songs. On the contrary, the albums of those traffic stars, even if the quality is average, still have countless fans supporting them.

Don't look down on these fans, at least they are willing to support their idols with real money, and they will report and boycott them as soon as they find pirated resources.

This is one of the reasons why the songs of traffic stars can sell so well.

Due to "various reasons", the pre-sale volume of Luo Quan's new album is only 28 copies despite such high popularity, and the sales volume of the title song "Someone like you" is 940 copies.

"It's on the street." Luo Quan looked at the two numbers that add up to less than 20, and his mind was a little empty.

Before the release, she was full of confidence. She felt that she had various titles in China and countless fans. She released a new album, not to mention achieving the same results as "Rite of Coming of Age", but at least there must be 50 pre-sales.

It's good now, not even one-tenth of what was expected.

Thinking of the tens of millions of licensing fees from Mr. Zhou, Luo Quan felt blush.

"It's a shame!" Luo Quan punched the bed hard and called Zhou Yangwen.

"What's the matter, Luo Quan." Zhou Yangwen's tone was very calm, and he didn't look anxious about his investment failure at all.

"Mr. Zhou, can I charge a little less for the authorization fee?"

"Huh???" Zhou Yangwen's head is now full of question marks, "I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have heard a lot of requests for temporary increases in money, but this is the first time I have heard of requests for repayment."

Luo Quan smiled wryly: "The pre-sale volume is too small, so I am really embarrassed to take such a large licensing fee."

Zhou Yangwen laughed and said: "These days, there are not many honest stars like you.

Don't be too anxious about this matter. The domestic music market is not like foreign countries. Many people don't have the concept of paying actively, and you are not like a traffic star. You have so many brainless fans. It is true that the sales volume is less in the first place. normal. "

"But this is too little......"

"It's quite a lot. There are so many talented musicians in China. There are many paid albums on the shelves, and there are many who sell hundreds of copies. The pre-sales can break [-]. You can count them with a slap after so many years." Zhou Yangwendun After a while, he said: "After all, there is a charge for things, and it's not cheap. You have to let the common people see the evaluations of the "local tyrants". The quality of the song is so high, it is not a problem to want to sell well!"

Luo Quan smiled awkwardly: "That's why I'm impatient."

"You are also concerned about chaos, but the spirit of the contract can't be fooled around. Even if it is a verbal agreement, it is not just a change. I will give you the paper contract later, and sign it quickly. Things that go back and forth will not be allowed in the future." Do it again."

"Understood, thank you, Mr. Zhou." Luo Quan hung up the phone, thinking that he was still too young, and he couldn't hold his breath when something happened.

Actually, Luo Quan can't be completely blamed for this.

Before the "19" album encountered Waterloo in China, although she said she didn't care, how could she not care at all.

It was a work that she worked hard for half a month, but after it was put on the shelves in China, no one bought it, which made me feel depressed.

It's just that Luo Quan has been buried in his heart and suppressed.

I originally thought that this time with the new album, I would feel proud and elated, but in the end, I hit the street again, and even the best self-cultivation has to be impatient.

But even so, Luo Quan didn't post on Weibo to explain to those who thought the album was too expensive, but just called Zhou Yangwen, wanting to get less licensing fees, at least he felt better.

But now that she was enlightened by Zhou Yangwen, and she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she was indeed a little impulsive just now.

In fact, she is still obsessed with it too much. Abroad, she has been well-received and well-received. She also wants to achieve this achievement in China, but the environment at home and abroad is completely different. It may not be that simple to achieve the same effect, and it will definitely not be in the short term. It can be done.

Fortunately, this time, she is not fighting alone.

Last time the album hit the street, it didn't make much splash, it just added some jokes.

But this time, there are more people speaking for her.
