Chapter 190 Surprise
Cao Mufeng has often heard others say that Luo Quan's singing skills are better than many professional singers who have been debuting for many years, and his physical functions are even more outstanding. His vocal range is wide and his timbre is beautiful. Even if he has not received professional training, he can crush everyone. Most singers.
Cao Mufeng has heard every one of her songs. Her singing skills are indeed very strong and her songs are really nice, but she always feels that something is missing. This is Luo Quan's biggest flaw in his opinion.
But this time, Luo Quan seems to have completely made up for this shortcoming.
The tune of the whole song is not very high, but Luo Quan frequently uses chest and cranial cavity resonance to mix the vocals in the chorus, making the whole song sound extremely heavy and comfortable, as if the ears are pregnant. .
Ordinary singers will never be able to do this, because whether it is chest resonance or cranial resonance, the requirements for breath are relatively high. If ordinary singers sang like Luo Quan, they would have stars in their eyes due to lack of oxygen. .
Cao Mufeng himself is also famous for singing high notes and long breaths. When he first performed in the audition, the judges were shocked by his singing talent as soon as he started singing. He once thought that he was the one with the best physical function among the new generation of singers.
But when he met Luo Quan today, he realized what it meant to have someone else.
Cao Mufeng thought that he could still sing Luo Quan's singing style with a little effort, but the quality of the voice would definitely not be as round and full as Luo Quan's, and it would be impossible for her to sing with a relaxed expression while sitting on a stool like her.
This breath control can only be described as outrageous! Luo Quan's capital was so strong that Cao Mufeng listened carefully for a long time, but he didn't hear any obvious breathing sounds from her through the high-fidelity recording equipment!
Moreover, she finished the entire song in one go, without any pause in the middle, and the vocals and accompaniment were stuck very hard. The producers took a quick look and found that there was basically no need to move and calibrate the two tracks.
"Perfect." Cao Mufeng, who put down his headphones, commented on the recording.
The producer also shook his head and sighed: "After so many years in the industry, this is the first time I have seen him singing like this at this age."
At this time, Luo Quan also walked out of the room: "How is it? Is the song okay?"
Cao Mufeng sighed: "There are almost no flaws. With a few modifications, it can be released."
"Let me listen." Luo Quan said, picking up the headphones and clicking play.
Indeed, as Cao Mufeng said, there are no flaws and it can indeed be released directly as an advance version.
Of course, this relatively simple version cannot be used in an official album. It needs to be processed more carefully. After all, it is something that needs to be sold for money.
"It's really no problem. We can record the second song." Luo Quan said, opening the computer software and creating the accompaniment for the second song.
Cao Mufeng was stunned. Luo Quan didn't bring anything with her and just took a computer and started working. Did she keep everything in her mind? How is this enough?
In the past, when Cao Mufeng made a song, he would work with the producer for a week to determine the general tone, and then finalize details such as accompaniment tone and arrangement.
After recording it, he then proceeds to record the song, and this production takes about a week, which means that it will take him half a month at the fastest to produce a song.
The one in front of me is really good. He can compose a song in half an hour and do all the lyrics, music, arrangement, and editing by one person. The key is that the quality is ridiculously high.
Moreover, she can start working with a computer. There is no need to look up any information or collect any materials. A small sound synthesis software seems to have magic power in her hands. Three times, five and two can be spawned. The tone she wanted...
This can no longer be described as talent, only "god-man".
Luo Quan spent more time on the accompaniment of the second song. The style of this song is more electronic. After the recording is completed, the singing will also need some processing. The workload is much greater than that of the first song. A lot of.
But it only took Luo Quan a little over an hour to get it all done.
As more and more songs are produced, Luo Quan becomes more and more skilled in his craftsmanship. What used to take nearly two hours to complete is now shortened by nearly 40%, and it may be even faster in the future.
The third song is a fast-paced rock song, and the production difficulty is slightly lower than that of the second song. It took Luo Quan less than an hour.
During this period, Cao Mufeng and the two producers were watching Luo Quan busy outside. The only thing that could help was to click the mouse twice to play the accompaniment.
There was no way, Luo Quan was so versatile, the entire recording process was as if she had already prepared a draft in her mind. She simply implemented the plan without having to use her brain to conceive.
After saving and sending the three songs to his mailbox, Luo Quan stood up and stretched, his bones crackling like fried beans.
"Wow, I haven't been this tired for a long time." Luo Quan twisted her enchanting waist like a water snake. Cao Mufeng glanced at it and quickly looked away.
"Did you record three songs a day before?" Cao Mufeng asked.
"My first official album, the one called "Rite of Passage," was recorded in about two and a half days, with a total of ten songs.
I never worked so hard after that. The album "19" also had ten songs. It took me about half a month to complete it while playing and recording. "
Luo Quan's tone was as if nothing had happened, while the other three people were frightened. This efficiency was so high that it surpassed the domestic music circle!
"Thank you for letting me use the recording studio first. If I need help in the future, I will do my best." Before leaving, Luo Quan expressed his gratitude to Cao Mufeng.
In the air-conditioned room, Cao Mufeng was sweating: "It's a trivial matter, don't take it too seriously."
Luo Quan nodded and left the recording studio.
Night had fallen, and bright incandescent lights illuminated the empty corridors. The place was still very lively when she came in. When she came out, there were no one in the recording studios.
Luo Quan took out his cell phone and dialed Zhou Yangwen's number.
"Hey, Luo Quan, are you calling me because you are dissatisfied with the cooperation, or..."
"Mr. Zhou, you are overthinking. I just want to tell you that I have finished recording the song."
"So fast?!" Zhou Yangwen was shocked.
As soon as he reached cooperation with Luo Quan, he ordered the Publicity and Development Department to carry out related projects and asked them to step up preparations.
A few minutes ago, they told him that the draft was out, but Luo Quan had already recorded the song here. What speed is this? !
Zhou Yangwen was also a little bit dumbfounded at this time: "Luo Quan, your speed is really... If the people under me are as efficient as you, there is no need for 996."
Luo Quan smiled and said, "You're flattering me, I'm just familiar with it.
Then I'll send the song to your mailbox later. "
Zhou Yangwen nodded: "Okay, I have a draft announcement here. If you hurry up, it can be released tonight, just in time to take advantage of your brother's success."
In the afternoon, the "Creating Girls' Generation" program team had already announced that Leon would join the recording of the second episode of the program, and also released many photos of him at the recording site.
It went viral as soon as it was announced, and it is still on the top of the trend list. When the news about Luo Quan's new album is released later, it will be hard to imagine whether it will be popular.
"No problem. He has a collaborator on this album anyway, so let him contribute to the promotional page."
Zhou Yangwen smiled and said: "That's it, we will arrange the announcement for you as quickly as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Quan returned to his residence under the moonlight.
Opening her laptop, she downloaded the two Japanese songs she recorded today.
First, they were sent to two animation production teams, and then two MVs were made using the animation posters.
This can be regarded as Luo Quan’s spontaneous promotion for these two animations. Station B is the largest ACG website in China. These two animations will definitely be released on Station B as new episodes in the second quarter, although they are not available here yet. It’s not a bad thing to buy the drama but warm it up in advance.
First, Luo Quan uploaded the ending song of "RE: A Different World from Zero", titled "STYX HELIX (Reincarnation of Life and Death)".
After about ten minutes of review, the MV showed that it was uploaded successfully.
Soon, the comment section was abuzz.
"Surprise, Luo Quan has released a new song?"
"Looking at the song title, it seems to be an English song."
"Attention to detail, it seems to be an ED for a new series."
"A different world starting from scratch."
"This male protagonist looks like a stranger, and his recognition is too low."
"The heroine is so beautiful!"
"Baimao is satisfied with one book!"
"How about listening to some music."
The comments section was full of people who came to occupy the front row seats, and basically no one listened to the songs.
And when they clicked on the song, they found that the forerunners had come back to give them high-energy warnings.
Barrage:
"This song is high-energy throughout, so please have tissues ready!"
"The quality is as good as ever. It makes my head tremble when I hear it."
"It sounded so good! I decided to play it all night long!"
When everyone saw it, they were immediately filled with expectations. So many barrages were praising it, which meant it must be very good.
And this was indeed the case. As soon as Luo Quan spoke his first sentence, they immediately knelt down.
"Oh please don't let me die
Oh please don't let me pass away
Waiting for your touch
Waiting for your touch again"
With just two lyrics, people's scalps were numb and their ears were pregnant. It captured the hearts of all the listeners in an instant.
Although the main song is a little mediocre compared to Luo Quan's previous Japanese songs, the two English lyrics full of electric sounds in the chorus can make people feel so happy that they are out of body and brainwashing. Listen to it a hundred times. You won’t get tired of it even if you try it a thousand times.
There is no doubt that this is a high quality brainwashing single.
Just when everyone was cheering for such a nice new song, the second surprise came.
Luo Quan's second MV was successfully uploaded!
This time it's the OP of "I Have a Girlfriend at Home", the song is called "Karako (Hoarse)".
Obviously this song was uploaded ten minutes later than "STYX HELIX" at night, but only twenty minutes later, its clicks, comments, and comments have surpassed it, which proves that it is more popular among Bilibili netizens than the former. Like.
Probably because this song is more difficult to sing and the melody is more catchy.
Just like the title of the song, when Luo Quan sang this song, his voice always hovered at the critical point between breaking and not breaking. This was a huge test for the singer's control of his voice.
Luo Quan mastered it perfectly and even recorded the song over and over again. You can imagine how shocked this singing skill was to Cao Mufeng, who watched the whole process at the time.
In most cases, broken sound will extremely damage the listener's listening experience, but if it is at the critical point between broken and unbroken, then the listener's listening experience will return to the other extreme.
The feeling was like a gentle feather tickling the apex of their hearts. Every time it stopped suddenly when it was about to cause pleasure, leaving behind an insatiable loss.
And Luo Quan used her superb voice to tease the ears and nerves of the audience. Finally, in the chorus, she used a series of continuous and smooth high notes to let all the emotions accumulated before burst out.
The angry sounds and gasps made the whole song's emotions more fully expressed. Until the end, all the accompaniments disappeared, leaving only Luo Quan's lingering and pathos-like tail notes still murmuring, forming a perfect combination with her singing at the beginning of the song. responded.
Luo Quan sang the whole song "hoarse", and the fans also listened to it heartily. The quality of this song is undoubtedly higher than the previous song!
Soon, the two new songs were played in countless loops by fans, and both exceeded one million views. Many fans directly opened their computers and mobile phones to play a forbidden duet.
At the same time, many up-listers in the cover area are also eyeing this song.
Luo Quan’s songs are almost the benchmark and wealth code of the music area of Bilibili. Videos made by music sharing up owners can easily exceed 10,000 views as long as they include Luo Quan’s Japanese songs.
As for the singing cover of Luo Quan's song by the host of Singjian Up, as long as it is not particularly hip-shaking and has its own characteristics, it will start with 100,000 views.
Except for a few songs that are too difficult to cover, each of Luo Quan's songs has various versions of covers on Station B, and each of them has a high number of hits.
This has almost formed a rule, that is, as long as she sings her songs, someone will definitely listen, and the likes and coins rate is extremely high. I don’t know if the fans are using this method to make up for their previous free sex. Guilty Pleasure by Luo Quan Album.
After nearly two months, Luo Quan has finally released a new song, and the quality is getting higher and higher. It can be predicted that in the next half month or so, Bilibili will be overwhelmingly filled with videos made for BGM using these two songs.
Especially when these two new series are officially launched, they will definitely become popular again.
So now that the songs have just been released, many up singers want to cover these two songs to gain popularity.
However, after trying it once or twice, more than 95% of singing ups chose to give up.
Just like "Unravel" was very popular on Station B but no one dared to cover it, these two songs are very difficult, and the flavor of Luo Quan is too strong. Covering them casually will only make people laugh.
Many singing ups publish works based on their passion for music and use their distinctive voices to attract fans. Most of them have not received professional training. It is already very difficult to sing these two songs. It is even more difficult to sing well. It's an almost impossible task.
At least in the short term, cover versions of the two songs are unlikely to appear on Station B.
There was no way, after some songs were written, only Luo Quan could sing them, and others either couldn't sing them, or they didn't have the taste for them. After all, the gap between singing skills and talent was too big.
Luo Quan here finished posting the song and was lying on the bed scrolling through Twitter while waiting for news from Zhou Yangwen.
There was a knock on the door, and Luo Quan stood up and opened the door.
"Okay, you don't even tell me once you release the song." Wen Xia held the phone, and the screen showed a pink interface, which should be Station B.
"Does it sound good? It took me two hours to record it." Luo Quan smiled proudly, as if he was quick to praise me.
Wen Xia walked into the room and sat down on the bed with a disdainful expression: "Look at what you can do... These two songs are just so-so. They feel quite different from "First Love"."
Luo Quan smiled: "You are quite knowledgeable."
"First Love" is indeed one of the highest quality among all her Japanese songs, and it will definitely win multiple heavyweight awards at the upcoming Japan Record Awards.
In the past life, this song's status was epoch-making. There was no Japanese song before, and it will be difficult for any Japanese song to surpass it in the future.
Of course, it is too early to talk about its historical status.
"What about the songs on your English album? These are Japanese songs." Wen Xia asked curiously.
"It has been recorded. Mr. Zhou is still preparing for the announcement. It has not been released yet, but it will probably be released soon."
Wen Xia whispered: "Can you tell me in advance?"
"Of course." Luo Quan was about to play a song for Wen Xia when someone knocked on the door again.
Luo Quan opened the door and found Leon and Seifert coming.
"It's really not a gentleman's behavior to come to a girl's room at night, but we are indeed necessary..." Seifert was slapped by Leon before he could finish his words. Side: "Is it convenient for us to come in? He has something to discuss with you."
Luo Quan looked at Seifert, dumbfounded and said: "You can explain it clearly in two sentences, why do you have to go through so many detours?" After saying that, he turned sideways and let them in.
"Summer, you're here too." Seifert saw Wen Xia and said hello, and Wen Xia nodded in response.
Luo Quan closed the door and asked, "Tell me, why did you come to see me so late at night?"
"Luo Quan, why didn't you inform me at all about the release of your new album? If Leon hadn't mentioned it, I would still be kept in the dark." Seifert's tone was very resentful, like What a great injustice I suffered.
Luo Quan was also very innocent: "I didn't mean to deceive you, I just forgot to tell you. I thought Leon would tell you, but in fact he did tell you."
"He just mentioned it accidentally and didn't mean what you said at all!"
Leon explained in a low voice: "It's not an important thing."
"Why isn't it important?!" Seifert stared, "This is your sister's first English album, her first work after turning nineteen. This is of great significance!"
"So you came here because you have thoughts about my album?" Luo Quan got to the point directly.
"Since you are so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." Seifert showed a sly smile: "Universal Records wants the exclusive authorization for the global distribution of your album!"
Luo Quan shook his head: "I'm afraid global exclusivity won't work anymore."
Seifert's face turned pale: "Why! Did Sony take the lead?"
Luo Quan shook his head again: "That's not true. It's just that I have given the exclusive license to Penguin Interactive Entertainment for this album, so at most I can only give you the exclusive license overseas."
"Happy cooperation!" Seifert held Luo Quan's hand at lightning speed, with a sincere expression.
Luo Quan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "You really know how to get off the road, and the price has not been negotiated yet."
Seifert smiled and said: "As long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem. How much Penguin Entertainment will give, I will pay double... um... I will give it, and it will definitely not be lower than their price!
Moreover, Leon also collaborated on this song. He is a signed artist of Universal. You don’t need to worry about resources. It will definitely be promoted to the highest standards! "
Although the cooperation was discussed too quickly, Luo Quan had no intention of rejecting Seifert.
After all, Universal is one of the top three companies in the world, and they are very popular in the United States. It is naturally beneficial for them to promote and release English albums, and choosing them will also be of considerable benefit to Lyon's future development in the company.
"Then it's settled." Luo Quan nodded, agreeing to the cooperation.
Seifert rubbed his hands: "So, has the song been recorded? Is there a demo?"
"One of the title songs has been recorded." Luo Quan said, took out his phone and clicked play.
