Chapter 194 Listen

Ps. Thanks to book friend Kong Ling for the book coins, thank you!

"God, I love China so much. The food here is so delicious. Compared with the chefs in China, the chefs in my family who are from five-star hotels only deserve to be thrown into the countryside to make pig food!!" Seifert was filled with all kinds of meat, and even with so many delicacies, he couldn't stop his mouth.

"Can't you pay attention to your image in front of girls?" Leon held chopsticks in his hand and frowned slightly.

In order to do as the Romans do, he had learned to use Chinese chopsticks since yesterday.

Being accustomed to using knives and forks, he suddenly changed to a different kind of tableware. He felt a bit like "drawing a sword and looking around at a loss". He was holding the chopsticks and didn't know how to use them.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but fortunately Leon's brain works quickly, and all he eats are big and soft dishes. He can just use chopsticks as forks, and he is getting started.

Seifert complained: "You must not be popular in school. You are too pretentious and can't learn anything well. You have learned a lot from the poor and elegant manners of your father's poor European aristocrats."

"First of all, I don't know how many girls sent me love letters in school. Girls who want to change places and sit next to me can form a women's football league!" Leon put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a white napkin, and said leisurely: "Secondly , My dad is not a run-down nobleman, he is the first heir to the Albert Real Estate Company, and has more castles to his name than any other nobleman in the UK."

Seifert said angrily: "You know in one day that you are talking about these things that you did not earn through hard work. Do you think it's interesting?

Think about it in your life, besides inheriting your father’s hundreds of properties, dozens of luxury cars, several castles, three yachts, and two airplanes, what else do you have? What are you still? "

Leon was shocked: "Damn! Why do you remember my family property better than me?

But you also missed one point. My father still has three farms in the United States, which will also be mine in the future. "

"Where's your sister?" Seifert asked.

Leon said calmly: "My dad asked my sister, and she said she has no interest in these extraneous things, as long as she has enough money."

"Look at this realization!" Seifert looked at Lyon with disdain.

"What are we talking about?" Luo Quan and Wen Xia came over carrying dinner plates.

The two girls had more vegetable salads on their plates. Wen Xia rarely ate meat, but Luo Quan put two fried chicken legs.

Seifert chuckled and said, "We're talking about Lyon's three farms in the United States."

Luo Quan smiled: "Are you still thinking about that? In such a big farm, you may not see anyone for more than ten kilometers. If it weren't for the green grass everywhere, it would be no different from a no-man's land."

Leon took a sip of juice: "At least there are still a lot of cows."

Seifert was disdainful: "How much are cows worth? The United States has long had overcapacity of milk. A lot of milk is dumped directly after being squeezed. The milk dumped by one farm is enough for me to take a milk bath for ten years." "Having said this, Seifert looked at Lyon and said viciously: "And you, as a future farmer, are sitting back and watching this kind of evil behavior happen. Do you think you are being rich and unkind?"

Leon didn't say anything, but raised his middle finger at Seifert, a mocking gesture universally used around the world.

"Why are you talking about this? I have something serious to ask you." Luo Quan persuaded, and then said to Seifert: "Has the promotion plan for my album come out?"

Seifert pulled out his cell phone and said: "My subordinate just sent me a text message. It's ready. It can be released tonight. As usual, you should hold a press conference and go to the scene to promote it.

In addition, you'd better release songs faster. The headquarters can't wait to print your album. I heard that the first batch will be three million copies! "

Luo Quan was surprised: "You made such a big decision after just listening to one song?"

Seifert smiled and said: "You don't need to listen to the song. Now in the United States, your name is a signature. Who in the music circle doesn't know your talent?

This English album is your first solo English album. It is bound to be a big hit, but I just don’t know how much it will sell. "

When Luo Quan heard this, he nodded happily: "Okay, I will work overtime these days and try to finish writing the song within half a month."

Leon interrupted: "I still have to wait for two days. The rap of the song you gave me is a bit difficult and I need to practice for a few more days."

Luo Quan agreed: "No problem, it can be recorded in the end. You don't have to be in a hurry."

After lunch, the instructors went back to their rooms.

Here in Luoquan, since there was some urging from Universal Headquarters, she definitely couldn't do three days of fishing and two days of netting as before, so she decided to finish the song as soon as possible.

The original plan was to release ten songs within a month, one song every three days.

Now we can only change the plan and shorten it to ten songs in half a month, that is, two songs in three days.

Today's program was filmed and there was nothing to do in the afternoon. Luo Quan decided to take a break and prepare to take a nap before starting work.

Before going to bed, I checked Weibo as usual, preparing to pay attention to the public's comments on my new song, but unexpectedly found that I was on the hot search list.

The hot search for the new album has disappeared this morning. The new hot search is a video of her taking the Shangyi Art Examination, with the title: "Luo Quan got perfect marks in her first art exam!"

This is indeed a very interesting news. Although Shangyi has regulations that videos of art exams cannot be broadcast externally, in fact, many high-definition videos will be leaked after each exam, and the school will basically not pursue anything.

The person who released the video this time was an official entertainment news blog with only about 100,000 followers. They probably bought the video from students who were taking the art exam at that time.

After all, when Luo Quan sang, there were quite a few students who recorded videos.

This video records Luo Quan's singing part during the art exam very completely. The mobile phone camera is also very good and the picture quality is clear. The only drawback is that the sound reception is not good, the video is noisy, and from time to time you can hear people around you. sigh.

Of course, this cannot conceal Luo Quan’s excellence. Even people who don’t know much about coloratura sopranos will be extremely surprised after seeing this video. They are surprised that Luo Quan can sing so beautifully and have such a good voice. high.

Many knowledgeable people in the comments have occupied the front row and are conducting popular science for those behind:

"I can guarantee you that there is no student in domestic universities who can reach Luo Quan's level!"

"It's outrageous. If Luo Quan were older, he could sit directly in the examiner's seat."

"This section is extremely difficult to sing. It is known as the touchstone for coloratura sopranos. It is one of the must-know repertoires for world-class coloratura sopranos!"

"So Luo Quan's level is world-class?"

"That's not true. After all, she sings pop music, not coloratura. The two singing styles are very different, and her skills have not been honed to the extreme."

"In this way, I think Luo Quan is even more powerful. It is unique for a pop singer to sing at this level."

……………………

Luo Quan discovered a very magical thing, that is, the comment section of this hot search was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye. He scrolled down so many comments, and they all praised her. It was very harmonious.

Before she was on trending searches, no matter what happened, someone would always post some bad remarks in the comment section.

Some scolded her, and some were sarcastic.

But this time, almost none was seen.

It seems that in this kind of video where you can see how strong her skills are at a glance, the keyboard warrior can't open her eyes and tell lies.

So many people in China have praised her talent before, but in fact, talent is still relatively subjective. Some people don't like it and think it doesn't sound good, which means they think you have no talent.

But her singing in this video is objectively strong, the kind that men, women, and children alike would praise after watching it.

Moreover, many people on Weibo base their evaluation of a singer's ability on high notes and pitch changes. If you meet these two items, many people will criticize you and wish you could become one of the top singers in the country.

The aria of "Queen of the Night" perfectly reflected these two characteristics, and Luo Quan was justifiably promoted to a "powerful singer".

Similar names include a series of keywords such as acting, high emotional intelligence, dedication, fandom, etc. Stars with these keywords usually have good reviews on Weibo.

Luo Quan never expected that his reputation would be reversed because of a video. He had written so many good songs before, but they had no effect. This time, he hit a high note and was immediately praised by the entire Internet. Fans started to praise him from the beginning. One million and two million rose to nearly two million, and album sales also increased!

Luo Quan sighed: "No wonder the singers in those singing programs like to hit high notes. It seems they really attract fans."

Treble is actually just an indicator of a singer's singing skills, and it is the most basic indicator, not to mention how difficult it is.

But for ordinary people, they don't have that much knowledge of music theory, and they don't know how to evaluate a singer's singing skills. The most intuitive way is to rely on whether she can hit high notes.

The higher Gao Biao is, the stronger she is, and passers-by will easily fall in love with her.

Luo Quan has now tasted some sweetness, and at the same time he immediately decided to change his plan to release new songs.

Originally, she planned to record a tender song for the second song, but this obviously could not reflect her "singing skills". Just like "Someone like you", although it is technically difficult, there is no treble, so it sounds "singing" to your ears. "Emperor" sounds like an ordinary English song.

In this case, Luo Quan must be showing off his skills in his second song.

After taking a nap, Luo Quan, who was full of energy, went to the Xiaoshan Film and Television Building again.

There were not many people recording songs today, and the rooms were basically empty.

Luo Quan walked around outside and saw Cao Mufeng.

Like yesterday, he was still lying on the chair, working hard.

Cao Mufeng turned his chair and saw Luo Quan outside.

He stood up and opened the door, curiously asking: "The recording studio is closed again?"

Luo Quan shook his head and smiled: "That's not true. I just came to see if you were recording any songs. I didn't expect you were actually recording."

Cao Mufeng smiled bitterly: "I have recorded it a long time ago. The company saw that I was so efficient and urged me to write another song. I was looking for inspiration. If I had known, I wouldn't be so efficient.

How about you, come to the studio to record a new song for "Love"? "

Luo Quan nodded helplessly: "Yes, the company I signed the contract with urged me to hurry up, so I had no choice but to come.

By the way, thank you so much for helping me speak out yesterday. "

"It's a small thing, I just can't bear to see a bunch of people who don't know how to spend money still scolding you for selling your album too expensive.

Say you need help? I happen to be free now, and I can also learn some techniques from you. "

"Okay." Luo Quan did not refuse.

There is a saying that Cao Mufeng really wants to learn something from Luo Quan.

Talent is a gift and cannot be learned, but arranging skills and singing skills can all be learned.

Cao Mufeng feels that he is the kind of person who knows everything at once, and he can learn something even by watching Luo Quan's operations.

In the industry, Luo Quan's arrangement skills are well-known. Each song is highly completed and his techniques are also very mature.

After watching it all afternoon yesterday, Cao Mufeng couldn't figure out the reason and just marveled. Today he decided to take a closer look.

So he stood behind Luo Quan and watched her click on the computer so fast that he couldn't keep up.

Until the accompaniment was completed, Cao Mufeng seemed to be in a fog, with questions all over his head.

"You're going too fast." Cao Mufeng laughed. Seeing that Luo Quan had clicked Save, he had a sentence in his mind that he didn't know whether to say or not.

"That's it when you become proficient. It used to take more than an hour to make an accompaniment, but now I have made great progress." Luo Quan said, getting up and opening the door of the recording studio: "Please press the button for me."

"Okay." Cao Mufeng nodded and sat down.

He finally figured it out. There are things that you can't just learn if you want to. Just like talent, it is a patent that belongs to one person only, and no one else can learn it no matter how hard they learn it.

Others only need to offer their own exclamations and applause, and everything else is wishful thinking.

Entering the recording studio, Luo Quan did not sit on the stool this time.

Songs in the past were generally not particularly difficult, and she had enough money to spend on herself, so it was no big deal to sing while sitting down.

But today's song is very, very difficult. Even with her talent and singing skills, it is definitely a very big challenge to perform it perfectly.

When she came, she was actually ready to record it several times.

Pulling up the microphone, Luo Quan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and began to brew his emotions.

This song not only requires extreme singing skills, but also requires strong emotional substitution, both of which are indispensable.

Cao Mufeng felt a little nervous when he saw Luo Quan's serious expression. How difficult is it to make Luo Quan take such a serious song?

"It's time to start." Luo Quan said, giving a thumbs up to the outside.

Cao Mufeng nodded, pressed the recording and accompaniment buttons at the same time, and the two people wearing headphones entered the state at the same time.

The beginning of the accompaniment music is very soothing, and seems to be of the same type as yesterday's "Someone like you".

"It doesn't sound too difficult." Cao Mufeng felt relatively calm when he heard Luo Quan speak.

But after just tens of seconds, he was completely shocked.
