Chapter 476 Hot

"King, you just let a stranger ride on you?" Leon looked at the horse he had raised for so many years with disbelief in his eyes.

The black horse glanced at his master lightly, shook his head and snorted disdainfully, as if to say: "Go ahead and play, or I'll kick you!"

"So it's called the King." Luo Quan stepped on the stirrups, raised his hand to hold the reins, and pulled gently, and the horse followed her hard direction and walked forward.

Although he has a lot of knowledge related to horse riding in his mind, after all, he is a novice on the road, oh no, getting on a horse, so Luo Quan rode more cautiously at first, mainly walking.

Soon, Leon chased after him on another tall maroon horse. His comfortable appearance was much more skillful than the cautious Luo Quan: "Sister, when will we start shooting the MV?"

"I've already sent someone to deliver the clothes. I'll wait until Universal's filming team arrives and find a few extras to start filming." Luo Quan looked at his watch, "It's only noon now, we can have lunch first, maybe It should be almost ready by about two o'clock in the afternoon."

Normally, this kind of MV is shot by people from Universal Company, but because the creativity of the MV was entirely provided by Luo Quan, she was responsible for all the roles from director to screenwriter this time.

After riding for a while, Luo Quan pulled the reins, and both the man and the horse stopped. After riding for a while, it was considered to be enough. There was no need to gallop the horse. After all, riding a horse also has some risks, although it is not as good as riding a horse. She doesn't do skydiving or gliding, but taking risks in pursuit of excitement is the thing she resists the most. There is only one life, and she cherishes it more than the average person.

Moreover, the character she plays in the MV does not need to run forward on a horse like Leon, she only needs to walk slowly like now.

After dismounting, the two had a simple California-style barbecue dinner at the farm. After waiting for more than an hour, the crew sent a text message, reminding her that the props and personnel were in place.

The two immediately drove to a small town near the farm and asked the horse farm employees to transport the two horses too.

Although it is only a MV of less than six minutes, because there are many scenes, it took two and a half days to shoot, and it took Luo Quan nearly a day to edit and dub.

Although the MV is so short, it is actually equivalent to a condensed version of the movie. If you want to make the MV interesting, you must not be perfunctory.

Some domestic singers, in order to make their MVs popular, can spend 20 million yuan to create effects comparable to special effects blockbusters. Although the songs themselves are not that good, they still receive a lot of praise and popularity with the MV.

Although there is no need to do so many special effects in her and Leon's MV, the energy invested cannot be saved.

For four days, Universal has been promoting Lyon's new single MV. Fans have been waiting eagerly for it. After all, this is the first MV for the siblings.

You must know that the songs the two collaborated on before were all love songs, and the lyrics sounded unrestrained. As we all know, depending on the lyrics of a song, the MV will only be more bold.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance the two can contribute in the MV.

However, no matter what passers-by or fans see in their minds, it is estimated that they will not get what they want this time, because Luo Quan's song is suitable for all ages, and there will be no taboo scenes, even for children. Eat with confidence.

Four days later, Lyon × Luo Quan’s latest single “Old town road” was released online.

The first scene of the MV shows siblings Luo Quan and Lyon wearing denim clothing, walking on a street full of western atmosphere, surrounded by buildings stained with yellow sand.

The Western atmosphere that hit their faces made all fans feel bright. Nowadays, few people will add elements of western cowboys in the MV, let alone a cowgirl!

Just when everyone thought this was a MV set in the last century, the sudden gunfire disrupted their thinking and caused the siblings in the MV to run away in panic.

The camera showed Leon alone. He got into a narrow hole while escaping in a panic. He crawled forward for a while. After finally climbing out of the hole, he fell directly from the sky.

Only then did the fans realize that the surroundings had completely transformed into a modern look.

At this time, the singing gradually began, and the gentle guitar sound set the overall tone of the song and made the fans relax involuntarily.

"Eha————

Yeah I want to ride a horse on the old roads of this old city

I'm going to ride until I'm exhausted

I want to ride a horse on the old roads of this old city

I'm going to ride until I'm exhausted

………………………”

After a cowboy's unique cry, Luo Quan's lazily singing voice with a touch of vicissitudes of life sounded out. In just a few words, he sang an unexpected sense of freedom and ease.

In the United States, superheroes and cowboys are just like Chinese martial arts. They are feelings and dreams that many boys cannot forget when they are young and even when they grow up.

The visuals and singing of this MV made this dream from gradually forgotten to fresh in my memory in an instant.

Especially when Lyon, who is wearing a denim suit and riding a handsome tall horse slowly on the black asphalt road, gives people an extremely cool feeling.

Even if there are luxury sports cars such as Porsche and Lamborghini parked next to him, they cannot be compared with this cowboy riding a horse at this time!

A hundred years ago, horses were not a luxury, but if anyone owned a car, it was a dignity that could only be possessed by the upper class.

A hundred years later, it was completely the opposite. Nowadays, raising and nurturing a good horse costs much more money than a sports car.

And the refreshing scenes of this MV don't stop there. Luo Quan, who is galloping horses and racing sports cars on the road, and appears in front of Lyon in a sports car dressed as a cowboy, has brought many surprises to the fans.

If this was really a movie, the dramatic effects would be awesome.

It's a pity that the MV is too short, even a complete story cannot be told completely, and the part that belongs to the song only lasts less than three minutes.

Although the content is not much, it can be said that there are essences everywhere.

More importantly, although the MV is so excellent, as a song, the melody and rhythm of "Old town road" are also excellent.

As a country rap, "Old Town Road" combines the advantages and characteristics of two music styles. Luo Quan's lazy and relaxed singing complements the unique ruffianism of Lyon rap.

Even apart from the MV, this is still a very good song.

Only half an hour after it was released, the total number of views on all streaming media platforms exceeded 100 million!

With Luo Quan and Lyon's current fame, it is very normal for the MV co-produced by the two to reach this level of popularity.

However, its subsequent popularity is not normal and can only be described as outrageous!

Two hours after its release, the number of streaming media plays exceeded 500 million, and it topped the hot song charts of major music platforms, including the B-chart.

Three hours after its release, YouTube views officially exceeded 300 million, and clicks on various platforms exceeded one billion!

Twelve hours after its release, the number of views on TIKTOK has reached nearly 400 million. The first batch of imitation videos and videos using it as BGM have also been released. These first adopters can easily gain hundreds of thousands of views. quantity.

In recent years, this is the most ridiculously popular song. Everyone guessed that it would be very popular, but they did not expect that it would become this popular!

Among them, a large part of the credit is due to the equally popular overseas Douyin platform. This short-video platform, which has been tepid for many years, finally emerged in the middle of 2018. With more than 100 million daily active users around the world, it has extremely terrifying public opinion. Manufacturing intensity.

And when a song becomes popular on Douyin overseas, it will start to spread all over the world in a short time. No matter how large the investment is, advertising cannot match this kind of publicity!

In fact, Chinese people can be said to have a deep understanding of this. No matter what new or old song is popular in China, it will be overwhelming on Douyin for a long time, and then it will spread rapidly to the entire Internet.

There are countless songs that have become popular through Douyin.

Now Chinese netizens have successfully passed the first stage of this software, from novelty to disgust to turning a blind eye to it.

Overseas, the craziness of Douyin has just begun.

And "Old Town Road" is the first song to gain huge popularity through Douyin.

The melody of this song is brainwashing, suitable for all ages, and it is extremely simple. Anyone can sing a few lines, and the background of the song is also very interesting cowboy and western. It does not contain any negative emotions and can be said to be full of positive energy. .

No matter where you are, happy and positive songs are more popular than melancholic songs.

As for "Old Town Road", its road to popularity has just begun.

After this song became popular in the previous life, not only did it dominate the overseas version of Douyin, but it also topped the B Chart for 19 consecutive weeks, breaking the longest consecutive number of weeks since the B Chart was established!

I don’t know how many new songs it has collected on the way, and its dominance is unrivaled!

If nothing else happens, Luo Quan and Leon’s song will be conservatively estimated to be popular for four months after it is released.

For ordinary singers, this is an achievement that is unimaginable, but for her, it is almost a certainty.

Usually after a song becomes a hit, the two should quickly start touring in major cities across the United States to increase their popularity while also taking the opportunity to earn ticket money.

However, Luo Quan returned to China the day after the song was released. She was in the sky when "Old Town Road" was at its peak, so she didn't see it.

The reason why I am so nervous is because I have stayed in the United States long enough this time, nearly a week.

From now on, her energy will also start to be focused on making movies. This time when she returns to China, she is packing her things and preparing to return to Japan. However, before returning to Japan, she has to take someone back with her.

Shang Hai, the home of Girls' Generation.

After being active as a group in Korea for more than a month, Girls' Generation's union has finally come to an end.

Girl groups are like this. When they first form, they will tour together and perform on shows, strike while the iron is hot, and then soon separate to develop their own careers, and then reunite two or three times a year to release a few songs, which is the so-called comeback.

However, because Girls' Generation was so popular, their programs and stages were invited one after another across the country, so the group activities were extended for more than half a year.

But after all, this year's performances have also made Girls' Generation girls a lot of money. This kind of idol group that can't find any competitors in the country can't make money very quickly.

The big head must have been taken away by Penguin Interactive Entertainment, but even if it is just the small head, divided by nine, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

If you want to ask which country in the world has the most profitable artists, who doesn’t know that it’s China? The third-rate stars here earn more than the first-rate stars in most countries, let alone the top stars like Girls' Generation.

It is worth mentioning that although Junko and Yoona are both employees of Luoquan's own company, so far she has not asked them for a penny.

The main reason is that it was written in the original contract that Luo Quan, as the boss, would find resources for his artists and could only share the profits after there was profit. However, currently, the two of them are relying on Penguin to make money. She is just a boss in name and has basically no income. What are you doing, why would you want to share it?

This is Luo Quan, who doesn't like to take advantage of others. If it were a black-hearted boss, he wouldn't add such a charity clause to the contract.

So Wen Xia often complains that Luo Quan is fortunate to be doing business without capital. If he were doing business, he would probably lose everything within three days.

However, Luo Quan has always valued long-term gains, so it doesn't matter if she loses some money now. As long as the artists in the company can stay under her control, they will be able to earn it back sooner or later.

"Making a movie?" On the sofa, Junko looked at her friend and said with some surprise. She had no idea that Izumi-chan would find her to make a movie:

"Actually, I want to rest for a few days first, but if Izumi-chan proposes..."

"It's okay." Luo Quan waved his hand, "Actually, we don't have to start shooting this matter right away. First we have to go to your kendo gym. You probably haven't seen your family for a while, right? By the way, I can visit my hometown to visit my relatives and see the cherry blossoms."

"Can you still see cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji now?" Junko said with doubt.

Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "Oh, that's not important. The main thing is to go home. Whether or not you want to see the cherry blossoms is secondary."

"Speaking of which, my father has also come back recently. Grandpa asked me if I had time to go back. He said that he would take this opportunity to go back to Japan." As Junko said this, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to book a flight ticket.

"What, you want to make a movie again?" Wen Xia asked curiously.

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, I want to make a movie about kendo. Junko's family happens to be a kendo family. I can use all the three generations of kendo gyms in her family."

Wen Xia looked dumbfounded: "You really don't want your wealth to go to outsiders."
