Chapter 438 Proving the Value
It's not so much an explanation as it is a direct rant.
Facing Luo Quan, these fans are the gentlest protectors and are reluctant to say a harsh word.
But when facing outsiders, you don't have to worry about being friendly or not. At most, you just don't curse.
"Do you know how expensive it is to sell a Luo Quan song overseas? Why do you want to charge such a high price?"
"I think an album worth 100 million is too cheap. Don't compare those expensive things that became popular through hype with Luo Quan."
"I can only say that she took the money with peace of mind, paid the taxes, and made donations. I don't know what else to do."
"See if you don't know, let me tell you, Luo Quan's album has sold tens of millions of copies, and the profit share alone is hundreds of millions of dollars. If he makes so much, shouldn't he be shot?"
"No one can criticize Luo Quan, her songs are worth the price!"
………………
Under the hot search on Weibo about "Luoquan's sky-high production fees", fans from Station B rushed to attack and occupied the high ground of public opinion.
If you don't occupy this kind of territory, it will be troublesome if the enemy disappears, so attacking first is more important than anything else.
Faced with the aggressive words of Luo Quan fans, those who set the pace were obviously not expecting it.
At this critical moment, which of the artists is not in danger? Faced with angry netizens, they wanted to immediately post an apology on Weibo for making too much money.
And Luo Quan, including her fans, actually dared to do this. Isn't this a crime committed against the wind?
Interestingly, the official Weibo GQT blog even liked Luo Quan's statement forwarded on Weibo, which shows that it recognizes her salary.
This immediately caused a huge stir on the Internet, and many netizens wondered whether this was for private use on a public account.
But soon, an article published by GQT shut everyone up:
"Luo Quan - the conscience of Chinese artists in the new era!"
The title of the article directly identified Luo Quan, which was equivalent to giving her a gold medal to avoid death.
The content is also relatively simple, just listing all the donations Luo Quan has made since his debut.
Luo Quan has always had the habit of donating wherever she makes money. After being stationed at Station B for so long, all income from videos and live broadcasts has been donated in full, and not a single cent has ever gone to her.
In the past two years, Luoquan has donated nearly 350 million U.S. dollars, and China accounts for more than half!
Although Luo Quan donated most of the money anonymously, Bilibili and Penguin, who were responsible for the payment, all signed their names, so it was easy to find out who donated the money.
In the past, Luo Quan had never made much publicity about her donations, but this time she caught the rhythm and simply took it out, otherwise the public would really regard her as a rich and heartless capitalist.
The original rhythm of leading Luo Quan this time was against the wind.
It’s not a good idea to choose any celebrity, but to choose the one with the least flaws in character is really stupid and bad.
Now that GQT is taking the stage personally, the rhythm leader doesn't know how to continue.
But if you want to blackmail someone, you can find an angle no matter what.
Although there are no major problems with Luo Quan, some small details can still be deducted.
These people in the GQT comment section did not dare to make mistakes, so they posted some weird comments on their own Weibo:
"I wonder what kind of song is it? One song can be worth more than 10 million?"
After being seen by Luo Quan's fans, they were naturally scolded and scolded, and then they pretended to be bullied by the Internet and beat him up.
For such scoundrels, Luo Quan always liked to slap them in the face.
It just so happens that EB BOY's auditions have entered the final stage, and there is only one week left before the official recording of the show. Like "GEE", the debut song of this group is also the promotional song of this show. It's time to come out.
According to Goose Factory's program planning, this time the boy band is obviously targeting a global audience and has recruited many foreign idols.
Therefore, it is obviously quite appropriate for the title song to be in Chinese and English.
Luo Quan first exchanged the original English version of the song, and then translated and filled in the lyrics according to the context.
Once done, record and upload.
Of course, the English version is uploaded here. After all, English is always used by many people and has a relatively high audience.
What she needs now is sensationalism. If she only uses Chinese, she may not be able to achieve such requirements.
After uploading the song, Luo Quan immediately forwarded it on Station B:
"The title song of the Goose Factory boy band's album has been recorded and uploaded. Here is the female version. There will be a male version after the show starts. You can listen to it for yourself if the song is good.
Song link: Penguin Music "I Want it that way" (PS. Original singer Backstreet Boys)"
Also forwarded were Goose Factory’s official accounts on INS and Twitter.
However, due to the poor information, the first people to hear it must be fans from China.
Although this song is in English, you don’t need to read the words of a good song. You can feel its meaning just by listening to the music.
And this song is obviously a sweet and light love song!
Although the arrangement is very simple, with only a guitar section at the beginning, when everyone listens to the opening lyrics:
"You are my flame
You are my only one, you are desire
Believe me
When I said I wanted to get him that way
………………"after,
I knew this song would be a huge hit.
Some songs do not pay attention to melody, but rely on exquisite word arrangement and vocal rhyme.
Some songs may not be very intense at the beginning, but the music will be like a glass of white wine, which is endless and people will never tire of listening to it.
And some songs will conquer people's ears from the beginning, make people fall in love with it in an instant, and then get out of control.
Luo Quan's new song is obviously the third type. It only uses a few melodies to make the audience feel happy physically and mentally.
If domestic popular love songs are of this level, even if Xiaoxianrou charges a little higher, it is not unacceptable!
In terms of just talking songs, this song is a complete dimensionality blow in China. Whether it is the idol boy band world or the pop artist world, there is almost no one that can compare with it.
And soon, foreign fans immediately proved with their actions that there is actually no comparable performance abroad.
Half an hour after the song was released, related hot searches rushed directly to the Twitter trend list, and the song playback volume swept across YouTube and other major music APP lists.
Foreign countries don't know the rhythm of what happened in China. They only know that this is the debut title song of Luoquan's new boy band from Goose Factory.
What’s interesting is that this men’s team is still in the unfinished stage, and it’s not even clear who the main candidates are.
But this does not affect everyone's love for this song, and there is also a feeling of love for this new variety show from Goose Factory.
The heat has begun to explode.
But Luo Quan was still not satisfied.
What she wants is the sincerity of all groups.
How can a boy band’s songs only appeal to European and American circles?
Korean is always a theme that idol groups cannot avoid.
Whether it is local Korean fans or Chinese Hallyu girls, they have always been a very large group.
Although Luo Quan had had bad experiences with some girls in the domestic fandom before, they were not among the people setting the pace this time.
Moreover, a great man once said that we must unite all forces that can be united.
Therefore, what Luo Quan wants to use is the power of this group.
In terms of combat effectiveness, under normal circumstances, girls in the rice circle are among the best.
Therefore, after releasing the new title song at noon, Luo Quan uploaded another song at 8 p.m.
There are still two versions of the song, but Luo Quan still uploaded the Korean version.
“The second title song of the album has been uploaded. People say that Korean boy bands are invincible, but when this song comes out, I have to win this piece.
Song link: Penguin Music "Day by Day" (originally sung by BIGBANG, although there are scum in the group, its brilliance cannot be denied)"
………………
There are few artists who can bring so many people into carnival on the same day.
There are few singers who can make fans from so many countries and different groups excited about their new songs at the same time.
Luo Quan did this, just as she thought, she had the strength to unite.
As soon as "Day by Day" came out, she immediately became a god in the K-pop circle.
Her trip to South Korea has already accumulated a lot of popularity for her. Although the new songs she released before have dominated the charts for a long time, there is still some gap between them and becoming a phenomenon-level hit.
The release of "Day by Day" directly made up for this shortcoming.
As for China, girls in the K-pop fandom fell in love with this song almost from the bottom of their souls.
For some reason, they heard Luo Quan's ruthless and handsome vibe from Luo Quan's singing of this song.
Obviously Luo Quan doesn't have this style, it's really confusing.
But this is not important. What is important is that this song is really a rare KPOP masterpiece, the kind that makes you explode!
Knowing this is enough.
Besides the song itself, something happened that made people laugh.
The release of "Day by Day" was obviously completely unexpected by the EB BOY variety show.
But Luo Quan was a little over the top at the time, so he released the song without much thought.
However, the program team did not get the report, so they did not even prepare relevant publicity methods. After seeing Luo Quan release the new song, he was stunned for several minutes before forwarding it.
After forwarding it, x-on:Luo Quan hurriedly said a lot of flattery with a crying expression. To sum it up: Master Luo, everyone knows that you are great. Please take away your magical powers as soon as possible. The show has not started filming yet. Once the song is finished, there will be no suspense on the debut night.
This persuasion naturally made netizens burst into laughter, but it can only be said that he is indeed the public relations officer of Goose Factory. His few words not only praised Luo Quan, but also completely heated up the popularity of the program.
A few operations resulted in a win-win situation.
When Luo Quan saw this, he quickly stopped recording the third song.
When a person is high, his mind becomes hot easily, and when his mind is hot, he will have fewer worries.
Originally, she wanted to release a third song to expand her advantage, but luckily she was persuaded to stop.
But up to this point, her advantage was already huge enough.
Although both songs are uploaded for free, their value exceeds 200 million views a day. In an era where traffic is king, the number of clicks on a song can basically be linked to money.
Although many of her fans like to have sex for free, the girls in the fandom are really rich people.
After EB BOY debuts, the amount of money he can make from these songs can only be described as immeasurable. The skyrocketing number of hits is more direct, clear and convincing than any language.
That night, Luo Quan's fans immediately started posting comments, and with the support of girls in the fan circle, the topic "How much are Luo Quan's songs worth?" became a hot search topic.
When a group has no action plan and only knows how to fight on its own like headless flies, it is likely to be taken advantage of by bad people and even do bad things with good intentions.
However, Luo Quan has a very good leader, and this comment in the topic was pushed to the top:
“For a long time, the value of China Entertainment’s creators has not been recognized. Plagiarism, copycats, and piracy have made the entire market depressed. Consumers’ weak copyright awareness is also one of the culprits of the current market situation.
Without income, the living environment for good creators will become increasingly difficult, and it is difficult to guarantee the passion for creation and the quality of their works.
But the emergence of Luo Quan has brought a new dawn to the market. She has proved to everyone with facts that as long as the work is good enough, there will be a lot of money.
This is a signal to all creators. Even in an environment like China, good songs can sell for such high prices.
At the same time, she also set a simple rule for this industry, that is, if the quality of the songs is not as good as hers, why do you dare to sell it so expensively? !
The same principle can also be extended from the music circle to the film and television circle, and even the entire entertainment circle.
As GQT said, Luo Quan is the embodiment of the conscience of Chinese artists in the new era. From salary to charity to daily behavior, I think he can directly set an example for the entire entertainment industry.
And the salary in the entertainment industry should also be based on her. When other artists receive their salary, they should weigh it themselves and see what advantages you have compared with Luo Quan.
The producers can also think carefully about the difference between the stars you invited and Luo Quan. Then consider how much to give.
Think about it, how much money did Luo Quan charge for filming "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Lord of the Rings", while others dared to charge a whopping 100 million for just a picture of your mother? Where did you get your B face? !
That is to say, Luo Quan is limited by her image and can't film domestic dramas. If she had an oriental face, who among the small and big flowers in China would dare to ask for such a high salary?
It can only be said that there is indeed no such strong person in the film and television industry who regulates the market, but fortunately, there are righteous people like reporter Xiaocui who boldly exposed all these dark realities.
I hope that the relevant departments will make mistakes when necessary, and arrest them as soon as possible. They will never tolerate it, they must strike hard, and return a prosperous Qingtian to the Chinese entertainment industry! "
In a long article, Luo Quan was directly shaped into a benchmark for the entire entertainment industry.
Countless netizens also reported x-on:GQT and RM Daily, hoping to set salary standards for the entire industry based on Luo Quan’s income.
Luo Quan was shocked by this petition.
