Chapter 348 Dark System

"Classical Gorgeousness and the Beauty of Decline in Art"

This is the title of the answer with the highest number of likes among related questions on Zhihu after the release of "Chapter 7 of Night".

The article briefly analyzed how great this song is in pop music. The author wrote in the article:

“Its classical beauty is so intoxicating, and its arrangement is so divine that it overlooks the ordinary pop category. The whole song is gorgeous like an imaginative poem. The work is rigorous and orderly, which reflects the Chinese musicians’ supremacy in pop music works. It’s an artistic pursuit that I personally love beyond words.”

If this was an evaluation written by an ordinary music fan, it would not have much reference value. However, since this article was written by a music professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, the value it contains is completely different.

In fact, when "Chapter 7 of the Night" was first released, ordinary music fans didn't think very well of it, because its melody was not as catchy as "Nocturne" and the lyrics seemed a bit confusing and hard to read. Understand.

But when the online analysis came out, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that a song could contain so many details.

Almost every lyric contains an allusion to Sherlock Holmes, making the atmosphere full of suspense and exploration.

From a professional point of view: Luo Quan recorded the entire story from a God's perspective. The ultimate melody and immersive lyrics combined with electronic, classical, rap, and bel canto make the whole song have a strong three-dimensional image.

There is no doubt that this is a song with an explosion of information. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a movie in music.

This is a divine song that is destined not to be easily accepted by the public, but it is precisely this that distinguishes it from those vulgar guava love songs, and truly gives the music artistic value.

Therefore, although "Chapter 7 of the Night" did not gain the same popularity as "Nocturne" on Weibo at first, as more and more people in the industry praised it, and many pop music tycoons recommended it on their blogs, The song was still a hit.

But what everyone didn't expect was that "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" became so popular that a Chinese song she released last year also became popular. It was even more popular than "The Seventh Chapter of the Night". Nothing less.

The reason was that a well-known music producer recommended "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" on Weibo, saying that this is the most outstanding work in the Chinese music scene in the past twenty years. It is completely unique and no other song can compare with it. Compare.

And compared with "Nocturne", it is more worthy of being called the pioneer of the dark genre. The classical melody and the singing style like an Italian opera aria also make this dark and weird atmosphere even more intense.

There is actually nothing wrong with this statement. It has also been a top trending search on Weibo and has received nearly 100,000 likes and comments. Obviously, most people agree with his evaluation.

However, this music producer obviously only started paying attention to Luo Quan recently and has not listened to his previous songs.

An old fan of Luo Quan retorted in the comment area: "This song is indeed very good, but I personally think that the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene is "In the Name of the Father", and the dark style of music should also start from it. , it’s a pity that this song didn’t become popular for a long time when it was released, and now many people don’t know about it.”

Soon, this comment was pushed to the forefront of the comment area, but it was only scolded:

"Where did you get the little devil from? I've never heard of "In the Name of the Father", but is it worthy of being compared with "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"?"

"Don't bring trouble to your master, "The Seventh Chapter of Night" is the pioneer of the dark genre."

"Do you dare to claim to be the pinnacle of the Chinese language in any song now? You don't understand anything and you just open your mouth?"

"Before you make an evaluation, you should at least show your professional diploma. Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?"

One comment after another in defense of Luo Quan seems very heartwarming, but in the eyes of old fans, it is simply embarrassing.

Luo Quan himself also saw these jokes in the comment area. They are indeed making people laugh, but this also shows that she is indeed popular. It is a good thing that so many new people have become her fans.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the music producer who posted on Weibo to explain himself, but he probably did not continue to follow his Weibo, so he has not issued a statement for a long time.

There was no way, in order to avoid new and old fans scolding each other, Luo Quan could only explain on Weibo:

"I just saw someone mentioned "In the Name of the Father" in the "Night Chapter 7" news. I hope the new fans won't be angry, because this is also my song (Dog Head), and the genre is indeed dark.

However, when the album in which this song is included was released, although it received some good reviews, due to problems with publicity and distribution, the sales were not particularly satisfactory, and it did not gain much popularity in the end.

Personally, "In the Name of the Father" is my favorite among all Chinese songs. I once said that this is a work that I may never be able to surpass, and this sentence remains true to this day.

Interested fans can listen to it, Penguin Music is now free.

In addition, I also hope that old fans will not exclude newbies. It takes a process from unfamiliarity to familiarity. Although it was a joke, it also shows that they protect me. "

To her fans, Luo Quan is always as gentle as the spring breeze, which is one of the reasons why passers-by will never be able to lose their fans once they become fans of her.

After this Weibo article came out, "In the Name of the Father", a masterpiece that had not been mentioned for a long time, once again returned to the public's view.

This was supposed to be a divine song that would enjoy supreme glory in the Chinese pop music world. Just because of style issues, it was released early before Luo Quan became famous.

At that time, it did receive numerous praises from the industry, but the popularity was too short-lived. In less than half a month, there were almost no outsiders mentioning it.

But good works never disappear completely because of time. When "Chapter 7 of the Night" became popular, "In the Name of the Father", a song above it, once again entered the public eye.

Soon, the musicians who had given high praise to "Chapter 7 of the Night" posted another article with similar content:

"I take back my previous evaluation of "Chapter 7 of the Night". "In the Name of the Father" is the pinnacle of Chinese pop music. This masterpiece that should have been noticed long ago did not expect to be completely recognized now. It is really a great shame for me, an insider, to find out!"

That night, "In the Name of the Father" topped the Penguin Music Hot Songs Chart. Luo Quan's new song made an old song popular, and even attracted praise from the entire industry and outside the industry. It is really a rare spectacle in the Chinese pop music world.

However, a big tree attracts wind. Now Luo Quan is killing everyone and making a lot of money. His colleagues in the industry are really jealous.

The cake in the Mainland is just that big. People just write a few songs that imitate the barking of dogs and Chinese-translate a few good foreign songs. There is no technical content. If you earn one yuan a month, it will be enough to cover your expenses for several years!

But now, it is too difficult to make money. The number of listeners of the songs I once wrote has been reduced by half, and the value created by the songs has also been continuously cut in half. The stars invited by programs and satellite TV have all gone to cover Luo Quan's songs, and their copyrights Income plummets!

Someone once said: "Before Luo Quan appeared, these people in the Chinese music scene could live happily and happily, but after Luo Quan appeared, it would be difficult for these people to die."

This is the situation now. After "Chopin in November" comes out, fans will only feel vomiting and unpleasant when they listen to those plagiarized Chinese oral songs. At least until next spring, they will not want to just lie down and earn money. It is completely impossible to make big money.

It can be said that the existence of Luo Quan has cut off the financial resources of countless singers. This is a hatred comparable to murdering parents.

But Luo Quan had no stain before. He wanted to send a notice to blackmail her, but no navy was willing to accept it.

But now, she herself has brought the clue to her doorstep. Isn't it the crowdfunding swimsuit that caused a stir on the Internet? If this point is taken advantage of, Luo Quan will suffer a big loss!

As a result, many singers who were jealous of Luoquan began to conspire, and news about this incident was released the next day, bombarding Weibo.

“Does crowdfunding at Luoquan Station B constitute illegal fund-raising?”

"Make nearly 400 million yuan, just for a swimsuit?"

"Scope covers the whole world, star Luo Quan's way of making money."

……………………

Articles with extremely eye-catching titles have become hot searches one after another.

The fact that Luo Quan crowdfunded a swimsuit shoot had actually been on the hot search before, but at that time everyone was just thinking of Tu Yile, and no one would think about these things.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, and fans crowdfund for their idols. Isn’t this what the entire fandom is like?

But as the amount increased, more and more people began to dig deeper, and the legality of this crowdfunding began to be questioned.

What an artist fears most is breaking the law.

Ordinary people who break the law may not be sentenced, but can spend their money for personal gain.

But if a celebrity breaks the law, he or she will be considered a bad actor. At best, he will remain invisible in the entertainment industry for several years, or at worst, he will be permanently banned from the entire network!

Now the amount of crowdfunding at Station B has reached 420 million yuan. Such a huge amount is enough to attract the attention of the country. If it constitutes illegal fund-raising, it will be a big deal.

Under the leadership of the navy, the melon-eating crowd began to express their own opinions on the Internet: why Luoquan is going to be cold, Luoquan is illegal, and the rhythm of asking fans for huge sums of money has taken off.

No one has actually searched online to find out whether such behavior is illegal. Most of them have seen people saying that Luo Quan broke the law, and then they flocked to the site and made various remarks against the rich.

Today's relevant news has already been on three hot searches. Three big V's criticized Luo Quan's behavior from a moral level and a legal level respectively.

The article's wording was extremely sharp, portraying Luo Quan as an artist who is greedy for money and has no bottom line. Passers-by, anti-fans, and fans gathered in the comment area to curse him.

In the end, in order to prevent the new album from being affected, Penguin contacted Weibo to download relevant hot searches.

But this kind of behavior gave Heizi the courage to pursue and bite him, and the voices criticizing Luo Quan on the Internet became louder and louder.

Due to public opinion, Penguin Music made a guest appearance as Luoquan's public relations team and issued a statement:

“According to the law, illegal fund-raising is an act in which the fund-raiser uses goods with actual value to raise funds from the public and promises to repay the principal and interest to the investors.

Photos have no actual value, so they do not constitute illegal fund-raising. "

The illegality has been clarified, but the moral aspect still cannot stop the public from discussing it.

Many female boxing celebrities on Weibo said this: "Gathering together 100 million US dollars to shoot swimsuits. This was said by Luo Quan himself during the live broadcast. What is the difference between this and the ancient brothel women who asked their benefactors to pay for their lives?"

Although it is not illegal, it is morally corrupt and has no bottom line for money. "

Soon some fans used Luo Quan's family background as an excuse, but Heizi immediately refuted:

"Who would hate money?"

"You can earn 100 million U.S. dollars by taking a few photos. Only stock gods can master the easier way to make money than this."

"Isn't this the same as an offline date between a female live broadcaster and a rich man on the list?"

When you stand on the moral high ground, you cannot refute even if you know that the other person is a keyboard warrior.

On the Internet, when a scandal occurs, a good person with no stain will be blamed far more than a bad person with stains.

Luo Quan is currently in such a situation.

But she wasn't worried at all and even added a chicken drumstick to her dinner.

"Luoluo, why don't you say anything? If public opinion continues like this, it's hard to predict what the consequences will be." After reading Weibo for a day, Wen Xia couldn't help it anymore and called Luoluo. Izumi asked what was going on.

"It's better to make a big fuss. How can I let the people of the whole country know about my great achievements if I don't make a big fuss?" Luo Quan wiped his oily lips with a tissue with a tissue.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Quan persuaded Wen Xia softly: "Don't worry, we have made arrangements a long time ago. If a few idiots who don't know the so-called get anxious after saying a few nonsense, then they can't survive this day?"

It must be that my new album has been selling so well that some people are jealous and are using the topic to punish me. You see, I ignore these people. "

Zhou Yangwen had just called him to tell him these things, saying that he had found some inside information, but the navy studios were too talkative and couldn't get any evidence.

Wen Xia nodded: "Since you know what's going on, I won't ask any more questions. In the past few days, our women's team organization will have a holiday for team building. The location will be in the Maldives. Do you want to come with us?"

Luo Quan did not give a clear answer: "It depends on the situation. If I can get 100 million US dollars, I will go. If my fans are not strong enough, then I won't be able to go."

"Okay, there are still a few days anyway. It won't be a hassle for multiple people to buy more tickets and book more rooms."

After talking to Wen Xia on the phone, Luo Quan turned on Penguin Music.

Three minutes ago, "Chopin in November" released a new song again.

This time, three songs were released at once!
