Chapter 413 This Is America(2)

"Step across the brazier to get rid of bad luck!"

Luo Ni placed a burning basin at the door of her house and asked Luo Quan to step over it.

Leon, Fred and other Americans seemed confused, but Eric knew the knowledge involved and explained: "This is an ancient Chinese etiquette. People believe that stepping over the brazier can eliminate bad luck and bad luck. , so people will step over the brazier to seek comfort after being unlucky."

Luo Ni glared at it angrily: "What does comfort mean? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"Feudal superstition is not advisable, mom." Luo Quan said this, but he still raised his long legs and stepped over the brazier.

Fortunately, he was wearing jeans. If he were wearing a skirt, it would be too indecent to do this.

Crossing the brazier and letting bad luck go away also means that this prison disaster has completely turned over and life has turned a new page.

Because he had just come out of the detention center, Eric didn't make any big fuss at home, but just kept a low profile and invited everyone to have a light meal at home.

Although Luo Quan had been tortured for so long and even lived in a detention center for a few days, it was not without gains.

At least Angela is willing to communicate with Eric.

Speaking of which, Luo Quan also helped his sister avoid a disaster this time, and Angela's family also expressed their sincere gratitude to her.

Eric also took this opportunity to go up and ask for forgiveness from Angela and her daughter.

Angela's adoptive father seemed very generous, leaving the room to these three people, and walked out alone.

This is trust in his wife, and it is also the magnanimity a man should have.

After the room was closed, the three of them stayed inside for about twenty minutes.

There was no quarrel, and the three of them had relaxed and relieved expressions on their faces when they came out.

It seems that the knot between mother and daughter has been resolved, which is another great joy for everyone.

The next day, everyone went back to their homes and continued busy with the work at hand.

Luo Quan did not return to China immediately. Instead, he found an abandoned parking lot and prepared to record a MV.

The reason why she encountered such trouble this time was that Hancock was behind the scenes, and the black-hearted media were the direct accomplices.

Now Hancock is under investigation for allegedly giving false testimony. In addition to facing pressure from the US government, he also faces a double blow from the Albert Group and the Rothschild family.

In order to vent his anger on his son, Hancock could be said to have lost his mind and wanted Luo Quan to go to jail. Unfortunately, his plan failed, and it was foreseeable that the company would be in disgrace.

Now that the culprit has been punished, the media has not been punished. Even when Luo Quan came out of the court, these people rushed to interview her and ask her about her feelings inside.

In other words, murder is a crime. If it were not a crime, these bastards would have to see God that day.

Because there are too many media companies involved, it is definitely unrealistic to attack them one by one, and Luo Quan does not have the energy.

She would simply shoot an MV to scold all the media that had slandered her, and also satirize this bad social atmosphere.

It’s not just the pervertedly sensitive ZZ who is right.

Because of the previous filming of "Resident Evil", Luo Quan quickly contacted a large number of extras and studio employees this time. The protagonist of the MV is still a black man. She is only responsible for rapping and scoring, and does not appear in the whole process.

It took her three full days to shoot the MV. She did not contact any record company after making it, but posted it directly on her Twitter and YouTube accounts.

The name of this rap MV is "This is America". By the time the MV was released, Luo Quan had already boarded a plane back to China.

The "New York Trial" a few days ago attracted the attention of the whole world, and the fame of the protagonist Luo Quan was also pushed to an unprecedented level.

There were many people who scolded her, but there were also many people who defended her. The discussions and wars surrounding this case lasted for half a month.

In the end, Luo Quan used irrefutable evidence to prove her innocence, and let the world see that her moral character was as impeccable as her appearance.

The case has been settled, but everyone is still waiting for Luo Quan to give a summary of the whole matter.

Everyone knows that Luo Quan has never been a person who swallows his anger when he suffers a loss. He didn't say anything for three whole days. If he did, it would be a big move.

However, no one would have thought that Luo Quan would actually shoot a MV in the past three days, and this MV resonated hugely with everyone, especially all Americans.

The MV had just been released, and the first people to flood into Luo Quan's Twitter account were the media, both unscrupulous and conscientious. They all wanted to get the news about Luo Quan as soon as possible.

Next came her fans. In the past few days since entering the detention center, Luo Quan's fans have not decreased but have increased. On the day of the trial, the number of fans increased by more than 7 million. Now she has more than 60 million Twitter followers. Big promoter.

People clicked on the MV, and after the screen went black, the scene transitioned to an empty parking lot, where a chair with a guitar was placed quietly on the open space.

Joyful singing in a choir style kept coming from outside the screen. A black man wearing a plaid shirt came over, sat on a chair and started playing the guitar.

The camera moved back, and a black man with a bare upper body and a big beard appeared on the screen. He started dancing to the music, and the whole picture looked full of joy.

It seemed that Luo Quan was expressing his inner happiness and pride in this way.

However, soon, the bearded black man jumped and jumped behind the black man playing the guitar. He reached out from behind and pulled out a pistol. He pointed at the back of the black man's head and pulled the trigger.

There was a "bang" gunshot, the style of the MV suddenly changed, the style of the accompaniment also changed, and Luo Quan's rap also began to sound.

Then, the entire MV started a crazy performance.

Dancers marching like zombies, white people standing on cars waving money, reporters holding cameras and stepping on scales under their feet, gang members with smoke in their mouths and tattoos, and student bullies punching their classmates. …………

There are too many elements that appear behind the black dancer. Although the perspective of the MV is all focused on the dancer, and his dancing is indeed excellent, the real essence is the background behind him.

Bizarre, absurd, and unbelievable, this is the first feeling that this MV gives people.

The entire MV reaches its climax with a group of students wearing graduation uniforms.

They stood on the ladder stage and sang the gospel chant at the beginning of the MV, as if they were taking a graduation photo, their expressions happy and full of hope for the future.

The black dancer also walked up to them with a smile on his face, but a submachine gun was thrown into his hand. The dancer's expression instantly became fierce, and he turned around and fired.

The students all fell to the ground in an instant, and the blood was sprinkled on the wall behind, which looked so dazzling.

From this point on, the background in the MV becomes even crazier, as if everything is out of control and people's behavior becomes more and more violent.

Just when everyone thought the end was coming, the MV suddenly returned to calm.

A black dancer dances alone on a car. The camera zooms out and there are many cars parked around, but the strange thing is that none of these cars have owners.

The scene turned again, and a black dancer was running in a silent underground garage, surrounded by black and white pillars, and behind him were several white people chasing him.

The MV ends completely here. Many people were soaked in cold sweat when they saw this.

The shock level of this MV is comparable to that of a theatrical blockbuster. Although it only lasts for just over four minutes, the rich content it contains exceeds everyone's imagination.

Less than half an hour after the MV was released on Luoquan’s Twitter, it received over 100,000 likes, more than 100,000 retweets, and more than 100,000 comments!

Countless fans, including celebrities, left their own feelings in the comment area:

"In the past, I only enjoyed listening to Luo Quan's songs, but this song only made me feel numb after watching it."

"It's so spicy. Luo Quan satirizes almost all the bad social phenomena in the United States and all extreme groups."

"Luo Quan never QQs black people, she only targets those who like QQing others."

"These media in the United States should be ashamed. They slandered Luo Quan's reputation based on complete misinformation, and yet they still refuse to apologize."

"It's the same as the name of the MV, this is America!"

"As expected of Luo Quan, he sees the deep-rooted problems in the United States more thoroughly than those so-called experts. I feel a strong resonance from this MV!"

"Those experts just sit in their study and do research, but Luo Quan has actually experienced this. After all, only practice can produce true knowledge."

"This music video should win a Grammy."

……………………

The song "This Is America" ​​caused huge waves in the United States.

From a musical perspective, this rap is rich in elements and has a strong sense of rhythm. It is an excellent work in every aspect.

And its MV is astonishingly excellent. Its artistic value is as high as that of an excellent satirical movie. So much content is condensed into just four minutes, which is a huge test for the director's conception.

Luo Quan did a good job, with excellent plot design and making the entire MV full of impact.

This is definitely a thought-provoking and excellent work. Combined with her experiences some time ago, it makes people have more reflections.

After encountering unfair treatment, she did not attack the black group.

Everyone originally thought that she would write a song to complain about black people. At this time, no matter what she said, it was reasonable. Even if she was really blatantly discriminatory on Twitter, even if it was against the law, black people could not say anything to Luo Quan.

Because they were the ones who felt sorry for Luo Quan first.

However, Luo Quan did not make such a choice, but turned the target of the bombardment to the real source of all this hatred.

They are the black-hearted media, the evil capitalists, and all the bastards who discriminate against others.

What Luo Quan really criticizes is actually these people.

In addition, Luo Quan also criticizes social chaos such as guns, street gangs, school violence, false reports, and capital's control of public opinion.

These are all stubborn diseases rooted deep in American society, and when combined together they are the biggest contradiction.

Before this, no work had dared to reveal all these issues so directly. Luo Quan did this, and it did have a certain effect. Many TV stations began to mention this MV in their programs.

Many critics also began to analyze the content in this MV and began to appeal, calling on the government to pay attention to the problems presented in it.

For the US government, Luo Quan's MV is definitely a big trouble, because she tore apart the carefully whitewashed peace and revealed the bloody truth.

On the other hand, I am very grateful to Luo Quan.

Because she gave the masses a way to vent their dissatisfaction in a less drastic way.

It's better to complain online than organize a march in real life.

Compared with those organizers who would take to the streets and drive away if they disagreed, Luo Quan was so kind. Not only did he open an outlet for pent-up grievances, but he also prevented further escalation of conflicts.

The government soon issued a statement praising Luo Quan's MV, saying it was a reflection of American conscience and a thinker who truly cares about the country. At the same time, it also promised to take corresponding measures to alleviate conflicts and solve problems.

Of course, how you say it is one thing, but how you actually do it is another.

However, in this world, Luo Quan finally completely changed his image among the public.

The misunderstanding was clarified, the injustice was washed away, and she once again became the perfect goddess in the eyes of the world. Even through this trial, her image became more plump and three-dimensional.

But it's not over yet, she still has her last breath left.

After she arrived in Shanghai, half a day after the MV was released, she sent out a second tweet:

"Now, I'm waiting for a belated apology."

She and Hancock are irreconcilable enemies, and the situation that has reached this point cannot be solved by apologizing.

What she wants is an apology from the media, and she wants an explanation for the unfair injustice she suffered.

If this tweet had been posted before the MV was released, Luo Quan might not have been able to get any explanation from these media.

But now her fame among officials and the public has reached its peak, and the energy she brings when she opens her mouth is really scary.

As soon as this tweet came out, millions of fans immediately criticized the media outlets that had previously slandered Luo Quan. The New York police also said they would launch an investigation into Hancock's control of the media.

Under this huge pressure, these media outlets could not act as tough as before, and they all used their official Twitter accounts to issue apology statements.

We apologized deeply and sincerely for the false news about Luoquan that we had previously reported, and promised not to make such mistakes again in the future.

Although the promises of these media are always as uncertain as the weather in autumn, this is the first victory Luo Quan has achieved here.

This is a victory worth remembering.
