Chapter 577 Ranking and New Album

The four-day group stage has ended. Among the three LPL teams, GNR ranked first in the group and entered the quarterfinals, while I Games and Guodian ranked second in the group.

Although they failed to take first place in the group, the two teams also performed very well in the previous games, so everyone's expectations for them are still high.

Soon, the lottery ceremony for the top eight began. The GNR team was drawn into the 2G team, which was considered the weakest among the top eight. All the team members smiled brightly.

Not only because the weakest team was drawn, but also because the civil war could be avoided in the first round.

However, I Game's luck was not so good. It directly drew the No. 1 seed of the LCK, the KT team that was also considered the favorite to win the championship. All the members looked unhappy.

Soon, the results of the quarter-finals draw were on the hot search, and a sentence in the comment area received tens of thousands of likes:

"Why do you say it's a good draw? I just hope that I Games can bring out KT's stuff and clear some obstacles for GNR. Of course, it would be better if I win.

If they lose and GNR win and win the championship, then KT will have one-third of the credit for this championship. As for Guodian, in two words, let it happen.

I am a GNR fan, a rational fan. "

Such somewhat arrogant and selfish remarks were recognized by many people, including I Game Team's own fans who didn't know how to refute it.

After all, they will not only have to face their strong rival KT, but even if they win, they will have to face GNR again, who have not won a game in the past year.

To be honest, the hope of winning the championship is really not very high.

GNR is the only one to qualify first in the group. Now the fans' morale is so high that even if they want to refute, they can't argue with the opponent.

Therefore, these remarks were recognized and widely spread by players on all major platforms.

However, no one could have imagined that this comment would become one of the most famous bibles of domestic LOL after the game, and would always accompany GNR and become one of their indelible shames.

Of course, these are all things for later.

The draw for the quarter-finals is over and the games will be played in four days, followed by a long break.

After four days of live broadcasting in Luo Quan, it came to an end temporarily.

But it’s not that I don’t want to live broadcast anymore, it’s mainly because there are activities.

The list of the top 100 singers of "Big Rock Magazine" has been compiled, and a grand event in the music industry is about to be held.

Regarding this list, preparations were actually underway as early as two years ago. The editors of "The Rock" spent a long time screening, sorting, and voting to select the selected songs and singers.

This list includes the 100 greatest singers in history, the 500 greatest albums in history, and the 500 greatest songs in history.

And the three greatest in the new century, the suffixes are the same as above.

Together, there are six lists, covering almost all singers from the 19th century to the present.

In fact, the same list "Big Rock" magazine had already done it once ten years ago, which attracted a lot of attention at the time, and the list was also very professional and recognized.

With this list, "The Rock" magazine has also established its position among music magazines. It can be said that the music reviews they publish are not much different from authoritative reviews.

Now that ten years have passed, a new list is about to be released. Not only the music industry, but also the entertainment industry around the world are paying close attention to it.

Musicians who were on the charts in the past ten years are now superstars at the level of kings and queens, and they have also gained both fame and fortune.

Although not being on the list is not directly related to the quality of development, as long as it is on the list, at least in terms of strength, there is no problem in the editors' eyes.

As long as you have the strength, fire will happen sooner or later.

Therefore, musicians in Europe and the United States now attach great importance to this list, and are almost using all their connections to know whether they are on the list, and if they are not on it, see if they can find connections to make it work.

In Chinese terms, it is through the back door. In European and American terms, it is public relations.

Before the list is announced, all musicians theoretically have a chance to get on the list. However, if they are not good enough, they will be questioned, ridiculed and even scolded even if they get on the list.

But these people don't care. For them, popularity is a good thing. Even if it is scolded by the entire Internet, it is better than no one cares about it. This is a very popular concept in the current social entertainment circle, which is the so-called black and red are also red.

Of course, some musicians are racking their brains to get into the list, while others seem quite calm, such as Luo Quan.

She is a singer who has been recognized as a singer who can definitely enter the ranking before the list is released, and among new century musicians, she has a high probability of being in the top ten, and it is not impossible for her to be in the top five.

People are mainly curious about where she ranks in the list of the top 100 singers in history. Foreign gambling websites have also opened several handicaps based on this, and set odds based on her final ranking.

"Sister, how high do you think you can rank this time?" Leon asked Luo Quan next to him on the plane to California.

Luo Quan shook his head slightly: "How did I know? The Big Stone magazine only informed me to attend the event on site, but they didn't tell me how many places I would be ranked.

It is said that Seifert is a senior executive of Universal, and he has so many singers under his control. He should have collaborated with "The Rock" a lot. Didn't he get some inside information? "

The mentioned Seifert took a sip of the coffee brought by the beautiful flight attendant and chuckled: "The magazine's reputation is too strict. I asked for a long time but got no comment. I can only wait until they announce the ranking tonight. .”

The event organized by "The Rock" magazine will be held tomorrow, so the rankings of the list will be announced tonight.

The so-called activity is actually to leave a name on the Avenue of Stars.

There are more than a dozen blocks on the Avenue of Stars that can be inlaid with stars engraved with star information, and "The Rock" magazine communicated with the government that operates the Avenue of Stars and dedicated a block to leave names for these great singers, and the treatment and routine leave names. There is no difference.

For Luo Quan and Leon, this kind of activity is quite interesting. After all, as one of the most popular artists, neither of them has yet been on the Avenue of Stars.

After arriving at Los Angeles Airport, the three of them quickly took a car to the hotel they had booked in Hollywood.

The name-keeping ceremony will be held tomorrow. Many celebrities, tourists and fans will come here today, and the number of people will definitely explode.

If they arrive late, those rooms may not be available to them anymore.

After arriving at the hotel where they were staying, sure enough, the front desk was full of people asking if there were any rooms. The three of them carried their luggage and quickly took the keys and entered their respective rooms.

After putting down his luggage, Luo Quan started a live broadcast on his mobile phone. The title of the live broadcast room was: "We are in the hotel, getting ready to go to the Avenue of Stars."

Soon, fans gathered and started discussing:

"Wuhu, is Luo Bao finally going to the Avenue of Stars? Then I will definitely watch your performance on CCTV tonight."

Um...this Avenue of Stars should be different from that domestic variety show. "

"This is a deviation. What Luo Quan wants to go to is the Avenue of Stars in the United States, a one-day avenue where only stars can leave their names."

"How come we are suddenly going to the Avenue of Stars? There are no signs at all, although Luo Quan definitely has the qualifications."

"It should have been organized by Jushi Magazine. There was a hot search on Weibo today."

"I found it. It's an event organized by "The Rock" for musicians. Only the greatest singers will be invited to participate."

"Is anyone in the country invited?"

"The editors of the selection should only focus on the European and American music circles. There is no one in China, and Luo Quan is an exception."

“Pheasant List.”

……………………

There is no doubt that this kind of list that is only for Europe and the United States is not very recognized by fans.

Although Chinese pop music is indeed not good, many ethnic music is still quite outstanding. Except for Luo Quan, no one can be found on the list.

It's just that the editor of "Big Stone" magazine is unwilling to choose, or simply unwilling to understand. This is out-and-out bias.

After seeing the comments, Luo Quan also explained: "Don't be too angry. This is just a list made by the European and American music circles. Selection from all over the world is actually just a gimmick. In fact, only English-speaking countries are considered. There are relatively large The limitations are there.

Therefore, the fact that Chinese people can’t get into it is not because they are not good, it’s just because they don’t write English songs. "

With this explanation, everyone said it was acceptable. After all, Europe and the United States have been engaging in cultural discrimination for a long time. From music to movies to literature, although this kind of treatment is unacceptable, everyone is actually used to it.

Besides, it’s not like there are no Chinese at all. Isn’t there a single Miao Miao like Luo Quan? Moreover, it is said that Luo Quan’s ranking is not low this time, and he is definitely at a level that can bring glory to the country.

However, the topic happened to be about English songs, and the fans' thoughts that had been silent for a long time came to life again.

"It seems like there hasn't been a new song for a long time, what do you think, Luo Bao?"

"Didn't I just write a Chinese rock song? The quality is so high."

"Chinese is Chinese, and English is English."

"Indeed, there has been no new work published in English for a long time."

"While "The Rock" magazine is making a list of the top 100 singers, releasing a few explosive new songs might even further enhance their status."

"New album! New album!"

……………………

Following the lead of several big fans of the Luoquan live broadcast room who carried the slogan "Qingquan Liuxiang", all the fans started to boo.

Their appeal is simple, that is, Luo Quan releases a new album.

In addition, there are also a lot of "new photo releases" barrages mixed in, which makes it look like LSP.

Looking at the "new album" that had filled the entire screen, Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "Stop scrolling, I can't carry it with my phone anymore.

Since you sincerely want to listen to new songs, I will release an English album next. "

The barrage immediately stopped refreshing the screen, and then started the whole process:

"What? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again. (Funny)"

"Say J is not B, civilize you and me."

"If you say J, say B, be civilized!"

“The fans started interacting in a friendly and quality way.”

"Haha, I finally released a new album. I wonder if I will shoot a music video this time. If it doesn't work, I might as well include a few photos."

“As I said before, if you want a cosplay, I’ll buy ten of them!”

"It would be better if I could cosplay Tifa."

"Speaking of which, I always feel that Tifa and Luo Quan are somewhat similar. Is it my imagination?"

"Isn't Tifa's face model that of Luo Quan? (sweating)"

"I'll go, I really don't know about this."

……………………

The topic of asking Luo Quan to do a cosplay photo was successfully diverted. Here she made a promise and was ready to start preparations.

It is definitely too late to use the new album to improve the ranking, because it is estimated that the ranking will be out in another hour, which is unrealistic.

But it is indeed a good choice for her to release a new album now. After all, she is short of money now due to new energy development.

Although those previous albums still have a lot of royalties, compared with the income from the new album, it is still far behind.

Therefore, even though it was just a collective request from fans in the live broadcast room, Luo Quan followed suit and agreed directly.

After the broadcast, Luo Quan posted an update on Station B and Twitter: "Preparations for a new album are in progress. The album title is tentative, the content is tentative, and the release date is tentative."

Three tentative reviews helped her become a hot search topic, and the comment section had thousands of comments in the blink of an eye.

"Good guy, I've seen people painting big cakes, but I've never seen people painting big cakes like this."

"If this is also a pie maker, then Luo Quan doesn't have any noodles, a rolling pin, or even a chopping board for the stove."

"But you still have to have high expectations for her. (dog head)"

"Then I will definitely pre-order it unconditionally. The quality is guaranteed."

"Finally there is a new song. It has been so hard for me this time without any songs to listen to."

"I don't know what style it will be this time. The requirements are not high. I hope to play some more classics like "My Heart Will Go On" and "Farewell Time."

"This is outrageous. Your requirements are really low, so low that some people will never reach this level in their lifetime."

"For Luo Quan, this is definitely not a high requirement, it is just a routine operation."

"Don't say this. It's not easy to make masterpieces. No matter how talented you are, it's impossible for everyone to reach this level. Although I believe Luo Quan can do it, as fans, we can't put her on the back foot. stand up."

"Sane fans, give it a thumbs up."

"There's nothing to say, just look forward to it. With Luo Quan's speed, he can listen to ten songs in half a month at most."

……………………

When the news that Luo Quan was about to release a new album was sweeping the hot searches, Seifert, who was next door, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Haha, I won't say any more nonsense. Just give me the number and we can sign directly." Seifert placed a contract in front of Luo Quan. The contract amount and album title columns were blank. , it can be said to be a contract signing template for Luo Quan.

"You don't always have this ready with you, right?" Luo Quan asked, dumbfounded.

"Be prepared, and time is money." Seifert said proudly.

"I've convinced you." Luo Quan smiled helplessly, then picked up a pen and wrote a string of English words in the album column: "Still Love".
