Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 223 "Past and Future"

"What will be announced next is the 2016 Japan Record Awards Gold Award!"

The host Yosuke Toriyama's excited words resounded throughout the hall, and every guest in the seat looked at Luo Quan who was sitting in the first row, as if they had already known the result.

Luo Quan's expression was calm, because before that, she had already won many awards such as Best Arrangement, Best Composition, Best Newcomer, Best Singing Award, etc. Half of the award ceremony tonight was devoted to She made a speech on it.

At the beginning, she was able to change tricks and do different jobs for everyone.

In the end, she really didn't have anything in stock, so she could only repeat her acceptance speech from the beginning.

No way, she won too many awards tonight.

Finally, the Record Awards came to an end, and the awards presented also came to the most important gold award, which is also the most gold-rich award in the pop song category in Japan.

In previous years, this was the most competitive award for singers, but this year was an accident. As early as half a year ago, the ownership of the 2016 Gold Award had lost its suspense.

The organizer of the Record Awards didn't have any intention of showing off, and directly released the words "Don't Give Up" on the projection screen.

"really."

"Deserved."

"Convince yourself."

In the auditorium, a group of singers, songwriters, and music producers were all nodding, and no one questioned the result.

Ryosuke Toriyama said in a magnetic voice: "In the summer of last year, Japan suffered a magnitude 7.5 earthquake for three consecutive days. At that time, many people felt that Japan's unprecedented earthquake of magnitude 9.5 was coming soon. The whole society is caught in an atmosphere of negativity and fear.

It was in such a desperate environment that a singer used her singing to encourage the people, telling them not to give up, not to admit defeat. Before tomorrow comes, there is still hope for everything! "

Ryosuke Toriyama paused, and turned his gaze to Luo Quan who was not far away: "I believe everyone knows who this girl is, and I will announce that the song that won the 2016 Gold Award is "Negative けないで", please Luo Quan." Izumi came to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech!"

With thunderous applause, Luo Quan trotted onto the stage in a crisp and loose T-shirt, and took over the microphone from the host Ryosuke Toriyama. Like the previous few times, she patted and tried to see if it was good or bad.

Host Toriyama didn't immediately stand aside, but turned around and blamed: "You have already filmed six or seven times tonight, and if there is nothing wrong with it, you will find something wrong with it."

The audience burst into laughter, and Luo Quan himself laughed embarrassedly.

This is a small habit of hers. As long as she speaks on stage, no matter whether she has used the microphone before or not, she will definitely take a pat if it is in her hands.

"Secret Marseille, next time I will be gentler." Luo Quan apologized and said that he would dare to do it next time.

Toriyama Ryosuke shook his head and laughed, turned around and stood behind Luo Quan, and handed the stage to her.

"If I remember correctly, this is the seventh time I've been on stage." Luo Quan said, looking at an empty seat next to his own, which was full of trophies, and counted them.

Luo Quan nodded: "Seven indeed, this is the eighth."

She took a breath and exhaled softly: "I still thank the judges for their affirmation. When the song "Bad けないで" first came out, I thought maybe because of the environment at that time, I would get some success. There is the meaning of encouraging the people in it.

So I am not completely devoid of utilitarian thoughts, and I also think there is nothing to hide about this.

I don’t want to prove anything by saying this, I just want to tell everyone that I am actually just an ordinary person with selfish desires, an ordinary person like everyone else, so please don’t make myths about me anymore, otherwise I will never dare Made a mistake. "

The audience burst out laughing, thinking that it was really rare for Luo Quan to live so clearly at such a young age.

Luo Quan smiled and said: "In addition, I also sincerely believe that these awards don't just belong to me alone, they should belong to every musician who is serious about making music.

Good music does not necessarily have to be proved by winning awards. All the ordinary things now are actually for the soaring sky in the future.

I believe that there will be more young and new faces who will be able to stand on stage in the future!
thank you all! "

Luo Quan bowed, and the audience burst into applause again.

Her heartfelt words can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of many musicians who are not yet well-known.

With such a big music market in Japan, there are countless singers who make music, but in the end, there are really not many who can really succeed.

Just like Korean idols and Chinese actors, there will always be only a small group of people with both strength and luck.

After Luo Quan stepped down, the applause continued for more than ten seconds.

The trophy is the judges' recognition of Luo Quan's talent, and the applause is the recognition of Luo Quan from all the guests.

From now on, the title of Japanese pop diva can be said to be well deserved.

As for why she had to add a junior, it was because she was too young, not even 20 years old, even if her talent and moral character had reached the standard.

If she wanted to truly become a queen, she might have to wait a few years, after all, she hadn't held a serious solo concert yet.

In fact, the director of the concert has been mentioned more than once by Ishimura, and fans have been asking on Twitter. Every time this kind of problem arises, they can get tens of thousands of likes, so it is good to buy and sell tickets. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

But Luoquan just didn't do it, and he didn't have any idea about it.

There is no reason, just tired.

A concert starts at least three hours. Before that, she sang very few songs, and it took just over an hour to finish her two albums.

But it’s not working now. There are nearly [-] songs, most of which are relatively difficult. If I really sing for three or four hours, my voice can’t stand it.

What's more, depending on the concert, it is definitely not suitable to just sing at it, but it is definitely necessary to have backup dancers and interact with the audience.

Singing and dancing for four hours, Luo Quan felt that with her small body, she might have to faint on stage halfway through. She was not a physical monster like Wen Xia who had been exercising all the year round.

So, no matter how many people mentioned about the concert, Luo Quan would reply in one go, if you want to listen to songs, you can come to her live broadcast room, and she will sing live.

It's free, and the sound quality is better than the concert. When the time comes, the barrage and special effects of gifts will be fully activated, and it will even be more lively than the concert scene.

It's hard to imagine how helpless Luo Quan's fans felt when they saw these remarks. There was no way, the fans had already fallen in love with her, and now it seemed impossible to get rid of her fans.

Fortunately, Luo Quan was never lazy when he should be hardworking.

After the awards ceremony, Luo Quan flew back to the capital overnight.

On the taxi ride home, she tweeted the news of the new album release:

"At the request of many fans, and in order to repay the fans who have supported me for a long time, I decided to make a mini-album.

This album will be completely free, so stay tuned. "

Netizens in Japan naturally knew about it a long time ago, because they won it by surrounding Luoquan in the afternoon.

However, fans in the West and Huaxia didn't know this, and they all marveled at Luo Quan's incomparably vigorous creative enthusiasm, which seemed so productive.

How long has it passed, and a new album is out!

Soon, Luo Quan sent another tweet, explaining the details of this mini-album:

"This mini-album has four songs, and the title of the album is "Past and Future". You will know the specific theme after listening to the song.

As for the songs, two of them are bilingual in Chinese and Japanese, the same as "The Wind Rises", the same tune, different experience, I hope you like it. "

Before these remarks came out, the fans in Japan were quite proud, and kept saying to the fans in China, look at how much we are favored, Luo Quan will write songs for us when he returns to Japan.

As a result, after the details of the song came out, Huaxia's netizens became proud again.

Fans who listen to English songs eat melons and watch the show all the time, and those who listen to "Love" don't care who is favored or not.

Although the album is completely free, the platform still has to spend a lot of money if it wants to win an exclusive license.

With Luo Quan's current coffee position, as long as the song is released, it will generate huge traffic. Regardless of whether the song is charged or free, the platform must be able to make money, so Penguin Music still gave Luo Quan a good price and won it. authorization fee.

But it's not an exclusive authorization, the reason is that Station B also stepped in, Boss Cheng's chat invitation and Zhou Yangwen's call came at the same time, Luo Quan directly opened the external release, and a three-party meeting came.

Fortunately, Bilibili has a lot of investment from Penguin, so he is half of his own. Zhou Yangwen didn't particularly care about the exclusive authorization, so he finally decided to share the copyright of this album with Bilibili. Of course, the authorization fee is also divided in half.

As for the authorization in Japan, of course it was won by Sony Records. There is nothing to say. The music company came to her for authorization, but they didn't even offer a price.

I guess he also knew that it was impossible to compete from Sony Music, so he simply didn't waste this effort.

Universal, in the English-speaking region, didn't have much interest in Luo Quan's Japanese album this time. They just mentioned it, and didn't ask any more questions after knowing that the album authorization had been secured.

After all, their business focus is on the English market. Japanese and Chinese are actually only niche markets for them, and it doesn’t matter whether they win or not.

This evening, Luo Quan naturally appeared on the hot search: "Luo Quan won eight trophies!"

The content is very short, that is, Luo Quan won eight trophies at the Japan Record Awards without any suspense, becoming the first rookie to win eight trophies in the history of the Japan Record Awards. It has surpassed the lifetime achievements of countless singers.

And under this trending search, immediately followed by the news that Luo Quan is about to release a new album.

Obviously, the following hot search is more interesting to fans and passers-by.

Comment area:
"Am I not mistaken, is there a new album coming out?"

"I strongly suspect that Luo Quan has mastered the formula of songwriting, and this new album is released too frequently."

"There is a fart formula, Luo Quan has written so many songs, how many songs have you seen with the same style?

Some singers have mastered the formula, except for the lyrics, the tune is almost exactly the same as Luo Quan's song, and a bunch of stupid dogs are laughing at their stinky feet! "

"It is true that these blatant plagiarists are still popular, which is simply the tragedy of the music industry. The key is that none of the platforms care about it."

"Then what should we do? The general environment is like this. If you can make money without using your brain, why do you want to create by yourself like Luo Quan?"

"Don't think too highly of these people. I think the speed of these people's firing is probably not as fast as Luo Quan's songwriting speed. There is an essential difference between a genius and a waste."

"So I just listen to her songs, which are available in Chinese, Japanese, and English, and I also cover various genres. Isn't it delicious?"

"It's just a bit more expensive."

"Good news, this album gives back to fans, and there is no charge."

"I would like to call Luo Quan the conscience of the music circle!"

"Such a singer, I will be a fan for the rest of my life!"

………………

Judging from the comment section, Luo Quan's image is becoming more and more positive, from being a black net before to a boast on the net.

In the past, he was given the nickname: "Pioneer of cyberbully amateurs", but now he has evolved into "the conscience of the music circle", which is simply a qualitative leap.

Although she didn't like the two titles, the former made her seem like a low-quality villain, and the latter seemed to be flattering her, standing up and hitting her like a target.

If it were in Japan, she could barely accept the title of "the conscience of the music circle".

After all, there are works, and there is usually no negative news, and fans are relatively common. Most of Japan has played her songs on loop, and her popularity is also high.

But in Huaxia, to be honest, it has not reached such a point.

Although her ten songs are of high quality, it takes time to settle them down to truly reflect their value. After all, those songs are not at the level of handed down movements like "Farewell Moment" and "My Heart Will Eternal".

But in the Chinese music scene, the quality of these songs is definitely the top category.

However, Chinese people have always liked to favor the past over the present, and would never admit that current singers are better than previous singers.

Under such a premise, Luo Quan wanted Cheng himself to be the "conscience of the music circle", which is really a bit brazen. After all, there are many seniors in the circle, and each of them is quite strong.

Luo Quan didn't know what the person who gave her this nickname was thinking, and he didn't know whether he really praised her or was trying to trick her.

But the matter has come to this point, she will definitely not call on fans not to promote this nickname, that would be too contrived.

In any case, strength and works are the most powerful proof of all doubting voices!
Ps. Thank you book friend Xiao Xiaoyu for the book coins rewarded!
