Chapter 590 Classic

"Let us congratulate I Game!"

There were no excited shouts from the commentary stage or from the audience.

As the only young player in Asia, I Game defeated the 2G team with a big score of 3:0 to reach the finals even though it was no longer particularly promising, and at the same time avenged GNR.

Since Season 4, this is the first time an LPL team has entered the global finals, with a gap of four years.

If I Games can win the finals in Incheon, it will mean the successful end of youth in the game for countless summoners in China.

At first, everyone was relatively pessimistic, but after the game won the game with invincibility, the Chinese summoners were surprised to find that the 2G team that defeated GNR was not as strong as they imagined, and could even be said to be broken at the touch of a touch.

So the question is, how did GNR lose?

Some people will say it's the version, some people will say it's carelessness.

The reasons for the failure are all listed above, but they are certainly not all of them. Only the team members themselves know what the reasons are, and this may become a secret that they will never want to mention again.

But now domestic players don’t care about the GNR players anymore, because I Game is about to make history and win the first S championship trophy for the LPL.

This honor is huge in terms of both commercial and honorary value, and everyone from capital to ordinary players attaches great importance to it.

Luo Quan did not live broadcast the semi-finals to the fans this time, mainly because he had just returned from Las Vegas and was busy composing songs for the album, which was a bit busy.

After the five songs in the album are released, Luo Quan usually takes a break before releasing new songs.

But this time she didn't go to rest, she just went to Las Vegas to film.

After returning this time, while other employees were taking a break, she recorded the remaining five songs in one afternoon.

That night, Luo Quan released two of them:

"If i were a boy"

"Take me to church".

First of all, the melody is still beautiful and catchy. As Luo Quan has always done, he only needs to listen to it once to fall in love with it. It is a pop song that can easily reach the B list.

But while they are popular, they also have considerable depth.

The lyrics of the two songs can actually make people think of vulnerable groups.

Especially "If I were a boy" (If I were a boy), just the title of the song is already straightforward.

The second song, "Take me to church" (Take me to church), is a little more obscure.

However, compared to the first song, its artistic value is higher, and it is profound about love, religion, and secularity.

Moreover, the accompaniment, singing techniques and arrangement are all quite grand and excellent. It is a piece of pop music with great artistic value.

Although they can't understand the exact meaning of Luo Quan's song, a group of music critics have determined through analysis that this song is probably a voice for the LGBTQ community.

Combined with the Pride Rainbow Parade that just passed, and the LGBTQ group among Luo Quan's fans who requested Luo Quan to compose a song for them on Twitter, it is not difficult to guess who this song was composed for.

Luo Quan once made it clear that he does not dislike men and is not a TXL. The reason for being single is simply that he has not met a boy who is good enough.

This is normal, because with her level of excellence, she will definitely not give in when it comes to relationships.

As long as her sexual orientation is normal, her song should not be written for herself. It can be said that it is written for her fans or the entire minority group.

Although Luo Quan usually doesn't like to speak out for these things and is afraid of wading into muddy waters, he couldn't resist the fans' requests and finally participated with his works, which is a kind of support in disguise.

Any influential person in the mainstream world who speaks out for these groups has a very positive effect, not to mention someone of Luo Quan's level, and she uses the method that attracts the most attention - music.

After the release of these two songs, they quickly appeared on major charts, and even some newspapers began to report on them, triggering a certain amount of social discussion.

The only pity is that when the media approached Luo Quan and wanted the songwriter to come out and make some profound comments, he was rejected.

The reason is simple. She can't get away from filming in Hollywood. The whole crew has to wait for her if the director and the lead actor are not there. If she doesn't work for a day, it will be a cost.

There is reason and evidence, but there is no other way, so the invitation can only be shelved.

But in fact, these are just excuses. In a week, she will go to Incheon, South Korea, to perform a warm-up performance before the S finals. She will be away for three or four days.

In comparison, this interview was only in the United States and could be completed in less than half a day.

It can only be said that Luo Quan really doesn't like to be interviewed.

She actually has a lot of true things to say in her heart, but most of what she says cannot be broadcast, and if she wants to broadcast it, she can only tell lies, so she might as well not tell them at all.

In this way, many talk shows that tried to invite Luo Quan for interviews failed, but this did not surprise most people.

Luo Quan is so awesome here. Since her debut, only TCC, Time Magazine and CCTV have interviewed her. If she could be interviewed by any program, she wouldn't be called the most difficult female star to recruit.

However, her main business is not on variety shows anyway, and she has not cared much about it.

The next night, there were still two love songs:

"I'm yours" (original singer Jason Mraz)

"Just the way you are"

These are two love songs that are so sweet that they can make you smile like an aunt.

Luo Quan originally prepared this for his parents' wedding, but he had already sung enough songs at that time, so he didn't take it out. He saved it until now and released it directly as a new album.

For today's young people, the release of these two songs means that two more recurring songs will be added to the playlist for future weddings.

It's really nice, and the lyrics are also crooked. It's one of the best among popular sweet songs, and only a "sweet girl" like Luo Quan could write it.

Seeing these comments, Luo Quan felt a little funny.

In fact, the authors of these two songs are both men, but what they have in common is that they are both handsome and talented. One is nicknamed the Wizard, and the other is nicknamed Martian Brother.

The song "I'm Yours" stayed on the B chart for a full 76 weeks after it was released, making it the longest-running hit single on the chart. The quality of the song is unparalleled.

As for the song "That's the Real You", it is one of Martian Brother's most famous early works. There is also another song "Uptown Funk" which is more popular, but the style is different and it is not the same as the album. Especially matching.

As soon as these two songs were taken out, Luo Quan was directly eliminated on the pop-oriented B list. Nine out of ten songs were hers. Looking at the names of the singers on the list, they were all Luo Quan, no matter what. I knew it and thought it was Luo Quan's own album.

This situation is what Heizi calls a typical example of not leaving a way for fellow singers to survive. As soon as a new album is released, it immediately crushes the market. Apart from her, no matter what other people's works are, they all look so lackluster.

The key point is that Luo Quan is a very bad person. He didn't give any warning before releasing his song. He just released it when he got interested and didn't give everyone any time to prepare.

If we had known that she was going to release an album, I guess everyone wouldn't have released new songs at the same time as her.

Regarding these criticisms, Luo Quan said that I don't want to be like this, but my strength doesn't allow it.

Fortunately, the American music market is big enough that she can’t cover the sky with one hand, and she won’t cause a boycott from her peers.

However, the two consecutive days of popular love songs not only made fans and passers-by praise their songs, but also made some music critics criticize them.

In their opinion, these songs are more than pleasant to listen to. But it is slightly lacking in musicality.

What they want to hear is a pioneering work that subverts the existing music system, an epic piece of music that touches the world, not these small love affairs.

Of course, music critics will not doubt Luo Quan's ability to do this, but her current performance is not a good sign, as she is too pursuing business.

In response to this, Luo Quan wrote a special article to respond:

“I think the music review industry has fallen into a misunderstanding, which is to force musicality for so-called artistic value.

Doesn't it sound good but not musical? Don’t the sweet melodies of brainwashing have no artistic value?

Canon is just brainwashing and melodious. Didn’t it deserve to be a masterpiece hundreds of years ago?

I have always believed that a good song is a song that makes the public feel good and willing to sing for it. This is also my original intention of singing - I want more people to share my happiness.

As for musicality or not, to be honest, I haven’t received much education in music majors, and I don’t know anything about academic things.

Music should be felt from the auditory sense, rather than analyzing its quality through the melody on paper. If you really want to be musical, I suggest you study the Twelve Equal Temperament early. If there is any result, it will definitely be better than It’s more valuable to write a few songs. "

This article is Luo Quan's reply to these music critics.

For a long time, they have been demanding Luo Quan's so-called musicality and dismissed the popular love songs she wrote, as if singing these songs was tacky and should be criticized for pandering to the market.

However, there are more ordinary people in this world who don't know much about music theory, and what Luo Quan wants to get is the recognition from these people.

Those music critics are in the minority, but they use their own aesthetics to criticize what others think is good. This is outrageous.

If she was singing the stuff from American gangsta rap, that would be enough criticism, and she would look down on it herself.

But being criticized for singing a love song only shows that these people are too out of touch with the masses.

After this post, music critics at home and abroad felt a lot better, and many passers-by applauded him.

The main reason is that the songs and singers they usually like are often criticized by these influential music critics. As soon as they refute them, these music critics use a lot of terminology and professional terms, which is not easy to refute. It is really outrageous. Uncomfortable.

But this time Luo Quan helped them get rid of their bad breath.

Previously, music critics said that the general public did not have professional knowledge and did not know how to appreciate beauty.

Now Luo Quan has spoken. What the general public likes is beauty. If you are not convinced, come and argue.

Compared with professionalism, who at her level can be more professional than her? If you are not convinced, just show her works.

Obviously, these music critics are only good at writing on paper, but in fact very few of them can actually write songs.

After the interlude, Luo Quan released the last song of the album on the third night.

Among all Luo Quan's albums, the last song is usually the best one in the album, and the quality can be said to be the best among the best.

On the first day the new album was released, many fans were already looking forward to the arrival of the last song.

And this song indeed lived up to so many people’s expectations.

"I would like to dedicate this song to my unborn sister Luo Xi. Her English name is Judy."

Luo Quan posted this update accompanying the song on Twitter and Bilibili in two languages.

This is a gift given by a few of her many songs by name.

Only Wen Xia has received this treatment so far, and the song given to her was "I Will Always Love You".

The other one is Parents, there are a lot of songs, but they can be summarized as "Wedding March".

As for the song given to the Rothschild family, it is not strictly a gift, it is just a creation at the engagement party.

And this song was a gift specially given to her sister. The lyrics were calling her sister’s English name from the very beginning.

"Hey jude

don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

(Hey Judy

Don't be too depressed

Sing a sad song to soothe yourself)

……………”

When a baby comes into this world, the first time it opens its mouth and the sound that comes out is not father or mother, but a wail, it seems that it has long known that it will encounter a lot of suffering and sadness in this world, so it cries so sadly.

Life, life, is easy to be born, but difficult to live.

But Luo Quan feels that since he has come to this world, no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he must face them bravely and look forward.

This song is what she wants to tell her sister, that is, don't cry, don't be sad, and always be happy and cheerful.

There are not many lyrics at the beginning of the song, they are very simple, and the tone is slightly sad.

But in the second half, the melody of the song immediately became joyful and grand, as if a symphony had reached its climax, and as if life had reached the happiest moment.

There are almost no complete lyrics in this part. Just kept repeating "La la la la la" and calling Jude's name.

Although it is very simple, it has an indescribable magic that can make people sing along.

There is no doubt that this is a divine work that can cause a chorus, touch the deepest nerves in people's hearts, and stir up unquenchable excitement.

As Luo Quan said, she always considers the majority when singing, and she also wants to sing songs that more people will like and sing together.

And such songs, whether they have so-called musicality or not, are unquestionable classics. "Hey jude" is such a classic, and it also brings a perfect ending to the new album.
