Chapter 201 One After Another
ps. The previous chapter has been harmonized, and the application for unbanning is in progress. . . .
This surprise is of course not that Luo Quan released a new song three days later.
The day after being interviewed by Times, Luo Quan started shooting the MV.
Originally, according to her idea, the MV was shot on a circular stage made of stones, somewhat similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but much smaller.
She was standing in the center of the stage singing, while there were stone steps carved with patterns around her, and taller stone pillars standing above her.
The overall tone is retro, but Luo Quan's idea is too idealistic. If she really wants to make it, it will cost a lot of money, and it will definitely be too late in time.
So we could only settle for the next best thing, first build a frame with wood, and then paint on the areas where the scene needs to be taken to imitate it, so that it looks like the real thing.
Luo Quan's first MV was completed on this seemingly crude stage.
In order to shoot this MV, Penguin's crew customized a special Greek gauze skirt for Luo Quan, and also made an olive branch tiara out of plastic.
In short, the overall clothing style is to match the venue where Luo Quan performs.
The shooting process went very smoothly and was over in less than an hour. She was standing on the stage singing, and Luo Quan almost didn’t move at all. Several photographers shot her from different angles. In the later stage, she only needed to adjust the camera. Editing, coupled with the songs recorded by Luo Quan in the studio, it basically comes together.
In order to record the song, Luo Quan also went to the mall to redeem the star-binding card of Sarah Brightman, the number one British actress in her previous life.
Of course, it’s a time-limited card that only lasts seven days.
This singer has a unique and moving voice, which is as beautiful as the harp, full of elegance and freshness.
Although Luo Quan's vocal quality is also very good, compared with the voice of the chosen one, it is still far behind.
Moreover, the star binding card can only give her the singing skills of Sarah Brightman, but it does not allow her to have the same voice as Sarah Brightman.
Fortunately, she can use opera singing to simulate Sarah Brightman's voice. Even if it can't be as fake as real, she can still restore the effect of the original singing to a certain degree.
Luo Quan chose two famous songs by Sarah Brightman this time. The song for the MV was "Scarborough Fair".
The vast majority of Chinese people may not have any impression of this name, but as soon as she speaks it, she will feel a sense of familiarity. She always feels that she has heard it somewhere, but she can't remember it.
This is a British folk song with a very moving melody and very beautiful lyrics. Its origin can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and it can be said that it has a long history.
However, "Scarborough Fair" has made considerable changes to the lyrics of the British folk song, and the song has also been remade and arranged. It is derived from the latter, but also opposed to the latter. It can be regarded as an independent song. s work.
This song may not be as catchy and brainwashing as those fast commercial songs, but as long as you listen to it a few times, you will be attracted by the picture it outlines in your mind.
This is a classic that deserves to be savored over and over again. Compared with "My Heart Will Go On" in quality, it is only higher but not lower.
However, considering that those fans were complaining about his continuous "crotch pulling" these days, Luo Quan planned to satisfy them all at once.
The MV for "Scarborough Fair" was produced by Penguin. After Luo Quan left the shooting scene, he quickly returned to the recording studio of Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center to start recording the ninth song of the album.
It is also an old song, but its melody will never be outdated even now.
In terms of the global popularity of the song itself, if "Happy Birthday" and "Alphabet Song" rank first and second, only this song dares to take third place.
Its accompaniment basically consists of piano. Luo Quan had redeemed his piano playing expertise from the system mall a long time ago, but he never had the chance to show it off.
In such a large film and television center, Luo Quan couldn't find a piano, so he finally resorted to the old method of using a synthesizer.
After working for more than an hour, when Luo Quan finished recording the song, the person in charge of the MV editing also sent a message telling her that the MV editing had been completed and sent to Mr. Zhou. They worked overtime to ensure quality while improving the speed. Arrived fastest.
Luo Quan replied saying thank you for your hard work, and then sent the songs recorded here to Zhou Yangwen and Seifert.
After listening to the two songs, Zhou Yangwen slightly changed the order of song release and moved "Scarborough Fair" to the back.
According to Chinese tradition, the more important things must appear later.
At 8:30 in the evening, Luo Quan posted a black and white photo of herself on Weibo. This was the first photo she took when she debuted. It was Lin Zheyuan on the beach, using a lemon to help design her movements.
She was holding lemons and smiling, everything was so peaceful.
After being made in black and white, there is some special meaning behind the smile.
Luo Quan attached a text under the photo:
"Garcia Márquez once wrote in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" that all the brilliance you have had in your life will eventually need to be repaid with loneliness.
Now I may be called a shining star. So many people are looking forward to my new songs, and I use my greatest enthusiasm to respond to these expecting fans.
And after receiving a reply, they responded even more enthusiastically, and a star was born.
But what if the day comes when I can no longer respond to these enthusiastic responses? How many people can continue to be as enthusiastic as ever? I don’t know, but I hope it’s everyone.
Some people are fans of me because of my appearance, and some people are fans of me because of my singing, but I hope that one day, you will become fans of me because of who I am.
Because I am Luo Quan, you are willing to become my fans, and at that time, no matter how much brilliance we have had, we will never be lonely in the end! "
Posted on Weibo, Penguin Music also quickly posted related Weibo posts, and hot searches that had been dormant for a long time started to boil again.
"Luo Quan's new song is released, the title is: "Yesterday once more (Yesterday once more)"."
Less than half an hour after the song was released, the response was extremely strong. All those who had high expectations for Luo Quan's new song were satisfied at this time.
This is what they have always wanted to hear, a song good enough to be regarded as a classic!
In the comments under the hot search, everyone can no longer contain their excitement:
"I now declare that "Love" is one of the 100 greatest albums of the new century. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
"It's really hard to argue that "My Heart Will Go On" and "Yesterday Comes Again" can be called a masterpiece if they appear on one album, but "Love" actually has two songs!"
"I've been waiting for this song for a long, long time. It's true that I've been looking at Weibo eagerly these days."
"It feels like playing a record on an old gramophone, very retro and nostalgic. For a young person to write such an English song with a sense of the times, talent is not enough to describe her."
"I was really touched by Luo Quan's Weibo. Even under such circumstances, she did not lose her original intention and was still reflecting.
Brilliance brings hypocritical fans, and dusk witnesses devout believers. I like her extremely devoutly, but I don't hope that there will be dusk in Luoquan. "
"I didn't say anything, just based on these words, I will be a fan of Luo Quan for the rest of my life!"
……………………
Everyone originally thought that the climax of the night had arrived, but they didn't expect that this was just an appetizer.
"Luoquan MV released!"
If the first hot search is like dynamite, the second hot search is like fire. As soon as it appears, the entire Weibo is "exploded".
Luo Quan has been debuting for nearly a year and has never filmed an official MV. The longest video is just the two or three-minute short film in her debut EP. It is not so much a MV as it is about relieving the heat in summer. vlog.
Tonight, Penguin Music directly promotes the release of Luo Quan's first album.
As usual, there is a trial version of the song, but there is no trial version of the MV. If you want to watch it, you can only pay to unlock it.
If it had been released half a month ago, Penguin Music and Luo Quan would have been scolded, but things are different now. No one will criticize charging for songs anymore, which is a matter of course.
The fans, who were full of joy, immediately opened the MV after paying.
The first thing that catches the eye is a bird's-eye view of the sky and the earth. Then the camera gradually moves downwards, and a circular stone staircase full of ancient Greek style appears in front of everyone.
At this time, you can still faintly hear the sound of waves hitting the shore, as if the stage is built on the edge of the sea cliff, and a natural and open atmosphere suddenly hits your face.
The camera shot again and came to the center of the stage. Luo Quan was already standing there at some point.
At this time, she was wearing a white ancient Greek-style gauze skirt and an olive branch crown, which was so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble.
This set of clothes gives Luo Quan an unparalleled temperament. At this time, she is like the incarnation of the Greek god of love and beauty in the world, turning all living beings upside down, but making all mortals unable to bear blasphemy.
Facing the camera, Luo Quan lightly opened his red lips:
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Are you heading to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
Say hello to one of the girls there for me
She once was a true love of mine
She was my lover"
This song is like the singing of ancient sirens on the seaside, with a magical power that can make people fall deeply into it.
After hearing her song, people's hearts seemed to be at peace, and everything around them gradually moved away from them. Only Luo Quan in the video still existed in front of them.
Before you knew it, Luo Quan's performance was over, and many fans were still indulged in their own fantasies.
When the fans came back to their senses, the first thought in their minds was that it was worth it!
Everyone was conquered by Luo Quan's heavenly singing voice. Before that, they had never thought that anyone could sing to such an extent.
In the past, I had heard about the sounds of nature, like listening to fairy music, but I had no idea about it. But now, everyone has a reference.
Comments on Weibo have been repeatedly flooded with comments about how beautiful and pleasant it is, and Zhihu, who has always had high demands on Luo Quan, turned into a crazy fan this time, boasting so much that he was even crowned with the title of "goddess".
It's not easy to be a goddess. In China's current environment, those who can be called goddesses have their own merits and can convince passers-by.
There is no doubt that Luo Quan has basically reached the extreme in the two areas where he has the greatest gaming advantages.
Music, appearance, this is a real combination of talent and appearance, and basically no one in the country can be better than her.
Those who sing better than her are not as beautiful as her, and those who are more beautiful than her... can't be found yet.
Previously, there were still heated discussions on the Internet at home and abroad as to whether Luo Quan's album was qualified to be included in the list of the greatest albums of the new century selected by "The Rock" magazine.
Because there is only one song, "My Heart Will Go On", but the quality is actually weak.
But with the release of these two songs today, all the debates can basically be ended. In terms of quality alone, these two songs are actually even higher than "My Heart Will Go On".
With three songs like this, the greatness of the album "Love" no longer requires any explanation. It is bound to be included in the list of the top 100 albums of the new century.
Now everyone is concerned about where "Love" ranks among the more important and valuable top 100 albums in pop music history.
It suddenly jumped from the new century to the history of pop music, and it was directly concerned about status, not whether it could advance. The span between the two is actually quite big.
However, today's two songs have given Luo Quan's fans the confidence to compete with those veteran and powerful singers.
Among young singers, Luo Quan can already be called a solitary singer.
But when her fans criticize her on the forum, there are always some "old people" who think they have been listening to music for a long time. They use the big names in the music industry to talk about it to show that they know a lot. By the way, they are not very young, but they are Luoquan has achieved great success.
Every time this happens, Luo Quan's fans will refute.
Although her songs were very popular before, her records sold well abroad, and she broke all kinds of records.
But the lack of high-quality famous songs is indeed a flaw.
This high quality is seen from a global perspective. Just for the Japanese songs in "Coming of Age Rites", many of them are considered top-level songs in the industry in Japan.
But when put into the world, it seems that it is not enough.
But now, all these problems have been solved by Luo Quan herself. She used her talents to create the album "Love".
At least three of them are works that can be called world famous.
And now, the last song on the album has yet to be released.
According to Chinese people's habits, the best things are always saved for last, even though there was the "Luo Quan's law" before, which said that when she sings, one day is good and one day is bad.
But this time, no one would doubt that Luo Quan would pull his crotch in the last song of "Love"!
This will definitely be a masterpiece that will determine her future historical status in the music world!
