Chapter 151 Follow-Up
The Yiyun platform dug its own grave. First it offended Penguin Music and had most of its music copyrights taken back, and then it deceived platform users and cut itself off from the people.
In less than three days, the number of daily active users on the platform has dropped by more than half, and the loss is still ongoing. It is already a fantasy to return to the top.
After losing this most useful music platform, listeners can only turn to Penguin Music.
Although you have to spend money every month to sign up for a membership, at least the songs are quite complete and can be used.
On the second day after Yi Yun's collapse, Luo Quan reached a cooperation with Penguin Music. All her Japanese songs will be exclusively licensed to Penguin Music. These songs are completely free on Penguin Music and can be downloaded without a membership. Listen.
This news also made many fans cheer.
In the past, due to copyright reasons, it was almost impossible to find high-definition resources of Luoquan's Japanese songs online in China. Most of them were full-loss sound quality versions recorded on records. You can listen to them, but the experience is really bad.
This time, all the songs that have been released on Penguin Music are lossless and high-fidelity sound quality. Put on the headphones and turn on the sound effects, and it will be as if Luo Quan is singing in your ears, not to mention how cool it is.
With this move, Luo Quan has helped Penguin Music attract a lot of traffic. As her works increase in the future, more and more users will come because of her.
This time, the dispute caused by genuine piracy has been settled. Cao Fan's two "Lemon" songs have all been removed from the shelves, and comments on Weibo have been closed due to criticism.
However, Zheng Li and Yiyun platforms have lost both users and character this time. APP ratings and downloads have plummeted. The losses have already exceeded the revenue they brought from the traffic they attracted through plagiarism. It can be said that they are eating. If the chicken fails, the rice will be lost.
Besides Penguin Music and Handsome Dog Music, Luo Quan may be the biggest winner.
This plagiarism scandal is actually quite big, and it has been on two or three hot searches. Luo Quan, who had not been particularly well-received on Weibo before, has now been successfully cleared, and even set up a "Fuck the sky, the ground, the air" The upright character has attracted a wave of fans.
In fact, Luo Quan has always been like this, but before, he always criticized passers-by and stood on the opposite side of the people, so he kept criticizing.
But this time she had just faced off with capital, and she naturally gained the favor of the people. It can only be said that the butt determines the head. If Luo Quan can always be so fearless of power in the future, and line up with these so-called managers and supervisors on Weibo, he will probably be able to do it. Get more powder.
But Luo Quan is not such a boring person. If these people hadn't provoked her on their own, would she have been fighting against these people every day?
Luo Quan originally thought that the days to come would be calmer, but he didn't expect that just after the domestic disputes ended, Japan had another problem.
It's not that anyone copied her songs. Japan is not like China. Copyright protection here is very strict. Anyone who dares to plagiarize will be jailed.
It’s not like someone scolded her online. Luo Quan’s status in Japan is quite high now, with a favorability rating of 98% among the people. Not everyone can afford the title of “goddess”.
But if the above two situations were true, she wouldn't have the headache she has now.
As the charity concert is about to be held, the program of the concert has also been announced. The finale is of course "Don't Give Up" performed by Luo Quan and Masasaku Keimiya on the same stage.
This song has been selected as the official support song for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan. Elderly people in their 70s and 80s, as well as children as young as four or five years old will sing this song. It is even hailed as Japan's second national anthem on the Internet.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Luo Quan singing this song as the finale, and there is nothing wrong with the photo of her and Masasaku Keimiya on the promotional poster for the concert.
In the photo, she is standing in a row with Masasaku Keimiya, about two punches apart from each other, and Luo Quan's expression is also a professional fake smile.
As a result, some unknown person on the Internet actually said that these two were inexplicably like a couple, and then a group of young people had an orgasm and cheered to create a CP for her and Jing Gongya.
Various so-called "sweet" photos and videos of her and Masasaku Keimiya began to circulate on NicoNico, and the number of clicks was ridiculously high.
If Jing Gong Masaku hadn't called her immediately to clarify, Luo Quan would have even suspected that this was the rhythm he was leading people to lead.
The reason why there is no suspicion is because Keigong Masaku said that his father found out about this matter, and the consequences were somewhat serious. Many people in the family were blaming him for his misbehavior, which caused the entire Internet to discuss the love life of the emperor's grandson. The concert schedule was almost canceled.
Hearing that Jing Gong Masaku was in such a miserable state, Luo Quan was embarrassed to doubt her again.
Originally, she thought that these were improvisations made by otakus when they were bored, and that the popularity would subside after a while.
But I don’t know if the popularity of the two in Japan is too high. After the CP group was formed, the popularity grew day by day, and gradually spread from NicoNico to the entire Internet. Finally, some gossip magazines even started to report on it.
"The story that the Japanese Emperor's Grandson and the Spring Goddess have to tell."
"That night, the true feelings of the Emperor Jing Palace were revealed."
"A match made in heaven! The most beautiful mixed-race child may appear in Japan!"
With such an outrageously exaggerated title, even passers-by who don't like gossip would probably go in and take a look out of curiosity.
And the content of these gossip magazines dared to make up anything. Even though there was no trace of it, it was as thrilling as a fifty-two-episode large-scale TV series.
After reading these words, the reader feels as if he has finished reading a Tokyo love story, which is really full of worries and thoughts.
Under the joint promotion of netizens and these unscrupulous magazines, seeing that Luo Quan was about to become a miserable woman like Akana Rika, who could not love and regretted her life, she quickly clarified on Twitter:
"Recently, many netizens have combined so-called CP pictures and videos of me and Senior Jing Gong, which have attracted many gossip magazines to write articles. I hope these gossip magazines can immediately remove these false stories and not mislead the public.
In addition, I solemnly clarify here that Senior Jinggong and I are just ordinary friends. Please don’t make up your own minds to avoid causing more misunderstandings! "
Keimiya Masaku also immediately followed up with a tweet:
"I hope everyone can stop fantasizing. Luo Quan and I have no relationship other than friends. This will only make our relationship awkward. I also hope those gossip magazines can respect Luo Quan and me and stop making up stories. Go down."
The two statements made the situation clear, but the CP party, which had been waiting for a long time, would not give up easily at this time. They just restrained themselves a little, but the videos of Luo Quan and Jing Gong Masaku on NicoNico are still there, and the number of clicks is still increasing. .
As for those unscrupulous magazines, they deleted the relevant articles. They were originally taking advantage of the popularity to make a bunch of money. Now that the owner has spoken, they will naturally respond immediately, otherwise they will be sued.
Originally, Jing Gong Yazuo thought that after such a quarrel, the relationship between him and Luo Quan, which had just eased, would become like strangers again. However, when they met the next day, she actually acted like a normal person, saying hello to him and smiling.
This actually made Keimiya Masaku feel at ease. The two of them smiled and waved, and then passed by.
Jing Gong Yasaku is going to the library, while Luo Quan is going to the club activity room.
"What are you doing in a group here?" Luo Quan walked into the activity room and saw everyone gathered around looking at something, so he asked curiously.
"This school year is coming to an end. The school department has given out an exchange student plan. Are you interested?" Everyone stepped aside to reveal an announcement on the table.
"What exchange student plan?" Luo Quan looked over.
Akatsuki Kumoi explained: "This time, the University of Tokyo and many universities in China have launched exchange student cooperation, sending students to each other to study."
Kamiya Suzune added: "It is said that the conditions offered by China are very generous. Not only will you get a scholarship, but you will also be provided with study companions to help you adapt to local life and teach you to speak Chinese."
"Teach me how to speak Chinese?" Luo Quan's expression looked a little strange.
Kamiya Suzune explained: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping these foreign exchange students. Not only the University of Tokyo, but also many European and American universities seem to have received similar invitations."
"It sounds okay. Does this count as internationalization?" Luo Quan chuckled, but felt a little disdainful in his heart.
It is so fancy, and it is a scholarship and a study companion. Will it help improve the school's teaching quality and international reputation?
It's just formalism. Top students from Stanford, Harvard, and Massachusetts will fly across the ocean to come to you as exchange students? If you think about it, you already know what kind of things are coming here. With all the money, you might as well buy more sets of experimental equipment for your students.
"So do you want to go?" Luo Quan asked.
Kumoi Akira shook his head: "No, the University of Tokyo is the number one university in Asia, why should you go to another school?"
"I haven't learned this knowledge myself yet, so don't waste your time elsewhere." Yuu Amuro was not interested either.
Kamiya Suzune and Miyano Natsuko were quite interested, but they were not attracted by Chinese universities. They simply wanted to go there to learn about Chinese traditional culture and then visit the mountains and rivers.
After Luo Quan asked around, he found that among the twenty-some people in the Philharmonic Club, there were basically very few people who wanted to seriously study abroad. If you really wanted to go further, the Ivy League schools in the United States were definitely the best choice.
To be honest, Luo Quan actually had no plans to return to China as an exchange student. His mother, Luo Ni, took Luo Quan abroad not only to find Eric, but also to get Luo Quan to drink some foreign ink. After all, there are now returnee college students. They are more popular than many domestic graduates with a bachelor's degree, even if these returnees have no real talent at all.
And if Luo Quan successfully graduates from the University of Tokyo, not to mention crushing all universities in the country, but at least his status will be on an equal footing with the top universities in the country, such as Tsinghua University and Kyoto University.
But for some reason, Luo Quan put away the plan announcement by some strange coincidence.
Maybe, she will change her mind in the future?
