Chapter 38 Celebration

"Congratulations to Quan Shui Sang for selling one million records!"

At the banquet, Miki opened the cork of the champagne, and brown liquid spurted out, making everyone at the banquet applaud and cheer.

Luo Quan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans today, with a pretty smile on his face: "This record sale is the result of everyone's hard work. I wouldn't have been able to achieve this result without your help. Thank you all!"

After saying that, Luo Quan stood up and bowed to everyone. Normally Luo Quan rarely "gives such a big gift", but maybe he has been in Japan for a while and has followed the local customs.

Director Ishimura, who was sitting opposite, smiled heartily: "Quanshuisang is so humble. Your talent is obvious to all. We just did some basic work.

How are you preparing for your first official album? The company attaches great importance to and expects it. "

"More than half of it has been created, but it will take a while to finish it all."

Director Ishimura nodded: "Well, you don't have to be too anxious. The popularity of "Spring Water" is still maintained. Ensuring the quality of the song is the most important thing. If you encounter any problems in work and life, just tell Miki. I will definitely solve it. I’ll find a solution for you.”

After the leader's speech, the celebration banquet officially started, and plates of fragrant dishes were brought out by the waiters.

This was Luo Quan's first time to have a big meal at a Michelin-level restaurant. She had never heard of many of the dishes, but they tasted really good.

Although she was insulated from all kinds of seafood and was destined to not be able to taste the most delicious dishes, the remaining dishes were enough for her to enjoy.

After having a full meal, Director Ishimura spoke a few words of encouragement to Luo Quan alone, and then promised benefits such as preferential media resources and an appropriate increase in contract dividends, in order to deepen Luo Quan's good impression of the company.

As one of the heads of Sony Records, Director Ishimura has always been generous and would never talk about his ideals with anyone first. Only when the artist's financial needs are met can he be able to continue the conversation. Everything else is nonsense.

After finishing, Luo Quan got into Miki's car with a pile of packaged fresh food.

Luo Quan asked the restaurant to make these alone. Now there are two mouths at home, crying for food. If she goes home empty-handed, Wen Xia will probably scold her with her spine pointed at her.

This time it took her twenty days to reach one million album sales, and she missed Sakura Hoshino's record by one day. It was a pity.

But Luo Quan doesn't care too much. By the time her second album is released, recording this thing will become very worthless.

The mini-album "Spring Water" has sold nearly 1.1 million copies so far. It has been certified as a diamond record, and the total sales volume is expected to be around 2 million, which is two diamond records.

This kind of achievement may not have been so amazing in the past, but recently, it has become one of the best-selling albums.

The Japanese music scene has been in decline in recent years. The world's second-largest music market has been flooded with a large number of chart-topping songs by male and female bands, and the quality is really unsightly compared to before.

Although each album or single sells hundreds of thousands, anyone with a discerning eye knows how much moisture there is.

Anyway, I don’t know which “genius” came up with the “purchase of albums to unlock benefits” event. 2 albums will give you autographs, 10 albums will get voice notes, and 100 albums will get exclusive videos, which makes some wealthy fans buy one or two thousand albums!

This phenomenon has gradually become the norm in today's Japanese music scene, and even under such circumstances, there are very few records that can sell more than one million copies. This shows how much the Luoquan public recognizes her mini album. high.

Speaking of which, she should also thank Ai Hui Music Company. These idiots were caught out in less than a day after bringing up their own rhythm. Although it had an impact on her reputation, it also made her popularity soar by several levels. .

After the truth was clarified, I don't know if those who had scolded her felt guilty, or if fans were celebrating and buying out of anger, but her record sales were even better than before. Until the increase in record sales the day before yesterday. The rates are all positive.

Perhaps this is the so-called misfortune that brings blessing, but Luo Quan himself would rather such misfortunes come as less as possible.

After a ten-minute drive, Luo Quan arrived at the building in the blink of an eye.

Walking to the door of the apartment, as soon as Luo Quan put the key in, the door was suddenly opened. Wen Xia looked at her with tears in her eyes like a maid waiting for her master to come home. Her bright red lips were full of glistening saliva: " Luoluo, I’m going to starve to death!”

Luo Quan took out the bag hidden behind his back: "Come on, come on, dinner is ready!"

Wen Xia took a deep breath: "Wow, it smells so good!"

"This is the food of a Michelin restaurant, how can it not be delicious?"

"Michelin again?" Junko Yagyu walked over with a mask on her face.

Luo Quan was speechless: "It's Michelin again. Have you often gone to high-end restaurants before?"

Junko Yagyu took off her mask and shook her head: "That's not true, but there is a cook in my family who used to be the head chef in a three-star Michelin restaurant."

Luo Quan curled his lips: "That's really wronging you. The restaurant I packed has one Michelin star."

Junko showed a smile: "Actually, I think Izumi-chan's fried egg fried rice is more delicious. After eating it last time, I know I'm still hungry now. How about you cook it for me again?"

"I haven't been free recently. The company is urging me to release a new album. Let's wait for a while."

Wen Xia sipped her chopsticks and was surprised: "In less than a month, a new album is going to be released?"

Luo Quan's face was not red, his heart was not beating and he was panicking: "Some of them were written before, and I wrote some more during this period, which is enough to put together an album."

Wen Xia's tone was as sour as a lemon: "I really envy you geniuses who are bursting with inspiration. When you want to write a song, you can just pick it up at your fingertips. We fools may not be able to write it down even if we think about it for a month, and the quality is still far behind."

Luo Quan comforted her softly: "There are specialties in martial arts. You, the leader of the female team, are good at singing and dancing. I can't compare with you in this aspect."

Junko was curious: "Since Izumi-chan already has a new song, why don't you reply to those comments on the Internet?"

"What remarks? Someone is hacking me again?" Luo Quan has been reading a book and not surfing the Internet much. He doesn't know what happened.

Wen Xia shook his head: "I'm all complimenting you, but... you can go to Twitter and see for yourself."

Luo Quan frowned and opened Twitter. After scrolling through it a few times, she was not on the trending search.

"I'm not on this hot search list either?" Luo Quan looked at Wen Xia doubtfully.

"Look at the first one."

"Chris Suzuki was nominated for the best DJ in the United States!" Luo Quan was stunned for a moment when he saw the title. He clicked in and glanced at the comment area for a while, and suddenly understood what was going on.

Chris Suzuki, like Hoshino Sakura, is a Japanese-American, but he has been developing in the United States. He is not only a DJ, but also a designer. He has cooperated with many trendy brands. Not only does his music have personal characteristics, but he also mixes He is the most outstanding group of American musicians in terms of sound technology. He is ranked ninth among the top 100 DJs in the world this year and is known as the king of trendy electronic music!

Like China, although Japan is a developed country, it still has some Mubai plot. For a Japanese-American to have such a status in the music industry of the "lighthouse country" is definitely something worth bragging about, even if Chris Suzuki never visited Japan in the first twenty years of his life.

Recently, Chris Suzuki caused quite a stir in the Japanese music industry because he was nominated for the best DJ in the United States. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful, being one of the candidates is enough to illustrate his strength and status. .

What’s interesting is that quite a few of the comments on this hot search are sarcastic, feeling that the Japanese people should not focus on a musician who never writes Japanese songs, but should pay more attention to these young people in Japan. Musicians, such as spring water.

There were many similar remarks, and some of them were nicknamed "Love Spring Water" and "Eternal Spring Water", so quarrels broke out.
