Chapter 416 Retro and Music Festival
After listening to the song "Princess", foreign audiences were stunned. Could Luo Quan also produce such a charming voice?
Fans couldn’t wait to comment:
"Oh...my God, Luo Quan's singing is really difficult to describe in words."
"Singers with this kind of voice are really rare in Europe and the United States. I was born in the open West and I feel that this kind of singing should be labeled as 18+."
"This also reflects Luo Quan's superb singing skills. Her voice was not like this in the past, but for the effect of the song, she can change it to a corresponding style, which is amazing."
Even though they don’t understand the lyrics, everyone can imagine a million-word novel just by listening to the song.
The style of the song is also something that a group of European and American listeners have never seen before. This kind of Chinese-style song is full of tenderness and charm unique to China, and even Luo Quan's singing sounds full of exotic style.
Not to mention the gorgeous set of Hanfu photos taken by Luo Quan.
Everyone has seen Luo Quan wearing a swimsuit, but this is the first time that European and American fans of Luo Quan have seen Luo Quan wearing such clothes.
That night, the pinyin of "HanFU" appeared on the Twitter trend list. This time, Luo Quan used his influence to benefit his traditional culture.
Unfortunately, there are not many Chinese people on the Internet, and even fewer are willing to spend the energy to show Hanfu to foreigners.
However, although there are few photos, the few photos of Luo Quan are enough to arouse everyone's interest in Hanfu. Fans left excited messages in the comment area of Twitter while listening to the song:
"This dress is gorgeous and matches the temperament of Luo Quan's makeup. It looks like a haute couture tailor-made for her by Chanel."
"In fact, this dress should not be as complicated as haute couture, but it contains quite a lot of cultural connotation. In ancient China, this was a dress that could only be worn by the most noble women."
"If Luo Quan had been born in ancient times, he would have been the most noble woman in both the East and the West, right?"
"If I were the emperor, I would definitely want her to be my queen."
"Go to bed quickly, brother. You can let Leon be your queen in your dreams."
"Not a bad choice for fencing."
"With Leon's appearance, it would be nice to wear women's clothes."
"Boys and girls are either ugly or top-notch."
"There is a mistake here. Luo Quan's clothes are actually our Korean costume Smecta."
"Yes, the whole universe is Korean. (Luo Quan is not)"
"It's not like I've never seen Korean costumes before. They are completely different from each other. Do you just accept one kind after seeing another?"
"Just get used to it. The Chinese people say they don't even bother to argue with them."
………………
Although there were some sticks in the comment area, because the words were too outrageous, they were quickly ridiculed and deleted the comment.
Fortunately, Luo Quan often reveals his Chinese identity when interviewed by foreign media.
Otherwise, according to Bangzi's virtue, it's hard to say what her status is now.
With the song "Princess" and his new look, Luo Quan successfully broke out of the industry both at home and abroad.
The sales of digital albums have once again hit a new high, and this time it is truly a global phenomenon. Fans in the three largest markets are all willing to pay for Luo Quan.
After seeing the results he had achieved, Luo Quan was considering whether all of his future albums should be composed of three tones.
After all, if it is single-language, it can only sell well in one market, but if it is three-language, it will be the same!
The imagination is wonderful, but now we still need to finish two new albums.
On the third night, Luoquan released the Japanese title song-"First Love" (Murakita Takazo)
This is a song that surprises Japanese music fans because it is full of the style of the 1980s.
However, although the style is retro, it does not mean that everyone is dissatisfied with the song. The song is as pleasant and melodious as ever. It is retro but also has a sense of future electronic music.
It can be seen that Luo Quan put a lot of effort into the arrangement. He did not just choose retro, but also had a certain experimental nature in it.
But unlike most experimental songs, this song is too good to listen to.
Moreover, Luo Quan also did a very good job in terms of lyrics, which are always weak in Japanese songs, such as the opening paragraph:
The rain in May is green
An afternoon alone makes me sad
Feeling more lonely after falling in love
Take the undeliverable thoughts as your own
Can't say I love you first love
It’s a heart as delicate as a pendulum
Campus after school
you are running
I've been looking for you in the distance
Because it seems like a dream but not a dream
So I will hide it in my heart
This lyrics is like a poem with a fresh style. When you look at it, it feels like a clear spring flows into your heart. It is truly a rare masterpiece.
In fact, there has been a retro trend in the Japanese music scene recently.
Because Japanese music developed relatively early, relatively new pop music became mainstream around the 1990s.
This type of music reached its peak at the beginning of the new century and even led the music trend throughout Asia.
However, as those diva-level singers retired one after another, the backbone of pop music suddenly had no one to resist, and was replaced by various boy and girl groups.
Although Japan has a huge market to support such songs, this market trend is undoubtedly a step backwards for music.
New songs are getting more and more popular, which leads to fans becoming more and more interested in listening to high-quality old songs.
Although the style of old songs has not kept up with the trend, it has a unique flavor after being suddenly picked up now.
Although Luo Quan came out later and brought several masterpieces that can be regarded as the pinnacle of Japanese pop music, she is only good at it, and others cannot imitate it.
In addition, she also has many songs in a relatively retro style, which has also made the retro style of Japanese pop music gradually become mainstream.
There is no doubt that the song "First Love" fits the market very well. If she takes the "Blue Bird" or "Red Lotus" that she sang at the New Year's Eve Festival at Station B and releases it here.
Maybe young people will love it to death, but it may not have such a good effect on older fans, and it is estimated that "First Love" will not be as highly rated as it is now.
Seeing that the retro songs were so effective, Luo Quan naturally followed suit and carried out the retro to the end.
The next night, Luo Quan released the second Japanese song on the album - "Lemon".
Yes, it is "Lemon", but it is not a direct release of the original version, but a remake, commonly known as fried rice.
Japanese fans who didn't know what was going on were stunned for a moment when they saw this song, thinking that Luo Quan was joking.
After looking at the date, I realized that it was still early for April Fool's Day, so I asked angrily:
"Izumi-chan is so naughty, she actually made a fool of herself just like Capcom."
"Did I travel through time? Back to the summer of 2016?"
"When you say retro, do you mean retroing songs from more than a year ago?"
"I just finished listening to it. Don't be impatient. Go listen to it. It's completely different from the original style!"
"As expected of you, Izumi-chan, you really didn't disappoint me. This song is really good."
Seeing the later fans speaking for Luo Quan, other fans realized that Luo Quan had prepared a surprise.
The song is indeed "Lemon", but the singing method has completely changed.
When I talked about retro before, I basically meant the style of the Heisei era.
The style of this song "Lemon" is reminiscent of the ancient Showa period.
Luo Quan's opening was full of Showa flavor.
(PS. For specific songs, please search for Japanese Fei Yuqing on station B. The first one is.)
The singing method used by Luo Quan this time is completely different from ordinary pop singing methods. It is a unique singing method in Japan.
The so-called enka, when compared to China, is actually equivalent to the national singing method. It is a relatively high-end and elegant singing method in Japan. This kind of song will appear in grand singing choruses and important parties.
The status of enka singers is basically equivalent to that of China's national team, and they are the boss among the bosses.
Luo Quan's use of ethnic singing methods was able to kill everyone on "I Am a Singer" and won the praise of Kong Yue around the world.
Naturally, the performance singing method can also attract a large number of Japanese fans, and it is also performed with "Lemon", one of the most popular Japanese pop songs recently. It can be said that it takes care of fans of almost all ages.
After the song was released, the enka version of "Lemon" was immediately featured on TV Tokyo's midnight music broadcast, which suddenly refreshed a lot of middle-aged people who stayed up late to watch TV. They thought, when did Japanese enka suddenly sound so good?
Japanese fans on Twitter also praised the song generously:
"I apologize to Luo Quan for my previous questions. This cold meal is too fragrant."
"It's really a unique reset that perfectly blends enka and pop. It can be said to be suitable for all ages."
"You are worthy of being an angel of music. This album only has four songs. How many singing styles are there already?"
"If this song had been performed at the recent Red and White Song Concert, would there still be any suspense about first place?"
"Speaking of this, I feel a pity that Luo Quan was not invited to the Red and White Song Festival last year!"
"I couldn't help it. She was in the UK to attend the Queen's birthday at the time, but the concert at Bilibili's New Year's Eve was a blast for me."
“I don’t know what eye-catching works she can come up with next, I’m really looking forward to it!”
……………………
In the past few days, the Twitter comment area has almost become a scene of large-scale confessions and praise.
Luo Quan is surrounded by countless praises and praises. Her album sales are setting new records every day. She has been on the front page of domestic and foreign online media for several days in a row.
Even many singers were impressed by her performance in the past few days and began to post comments about her.
If someone else had received so much positive feedback and faced countless compliments every day, he would probably have become a little arrogant.
This has nothing to do with modesty, it's just that there are too many positive comments, which makes people feel a strong psychological suggestion all the time, and there will always be a voice telling themselves: She is the most powerful, she is invincible, and the whole world likes her.
But even Money can't be liked by the whole world, can Luo Quan do it?
She had never felt this way.
Perhaps she is very popular now, her popularity and fame have reached their peak, everyone is pursuing her in an almost flattering way, and praising Luo Quan seems to have become the right thing to do.
But she actually saw it very clearly. If one day she had a crotch lift, those people who praised her would probably be the ones who scolded her.
The media has always been like this. They like to lift a person to the sky and then throw him or her to hell.
I don’t know how many celebrities have suffered such treatment, in past and present lives.
Great like MJ, the King of Pop. When he was famous in his previous life, he was at the peak of his popularity. He responded to hundreds of responses and sold out the crowds. He stunned dozens of viewers at a concert. He staged a pos at the Super Bowl and fans were willing to keep screaming for him.
But as a result, the media's reputation plummeted due to the smear campaign, and I even became a heinous sinner.
Female representatives also include Britney Spears. When she was popular, she was known as America’s sweetheart and the dream girl of men across the United States.
In the end, I was made mentally ill by the American paparazzi and media.
Therefore, Luo Quan has always understood in his heart that the brilliance he has experienced in his life will eventually be repaid with loneliness.
The harder you brag now, the worse you will be scolded when you are unlucky in the future.
Therefore, she will never show any arrogant or arrogant image in public, leaving no excuse for anyone.
In addition, she will try her best to maintain this brilliance and prevent loneliness as much as possible.
Therefore, no matter how hard these fans and the media are blowing, she will never float if anyone floats.
Stay true to your original intention and you will always succeed.
Of course, in front of his good friends, Luo Quan's tail almost hit the sky this time.
In Wen Xia's mansion in the capital, Luo Quan held up his mobile phone with a smile and showed off to Wen Xia the impressive results he had achieved in the four days since the release of his new song:
"Haha Wen Xia, it seems that I will win the best-selling album in China this time."
Prior to this, Huaxia's best-selling album was Girls' Generation's debut album, which sold more than 13 million, and the second-ranked album was "Chopin in November", which sold more than 8 million.
The release dates of the two albums are about three months apart. Girls' Generation actually took advantage of it, but it has not been broken until this year. This also proves that Girls' Generation is indeed extremely popular in China, and even Luo Quan is not. opponent.
Therefore, Wen Xia often used this matter to show off in front of Luo Quan. .
This time, Luo Quan's new album has sold five million copies. It seems to have good stamina, and it is not impossible to break the record set by Girls' Generation in China.
On the one hand, I came to the capital this time to attend a music festival, and on the other hand, I also wanted to rub off Wen Xia’s energy.
However, Wen Xia didn't take this trick at all. He just smiled and said, "It won't be too late to wait until you sell enough!"
"We'll see!" Luo Quan snorted, but did not raise the flag.
ps. Thank you to book friends, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty and Mingxiao Emperor Zhao Zhen for the book coins. Thank you!
