Chapter 1101
"On why Miss Luo Quan is a god?"
This was another question that appeared on Zhihu after the release of "Turkish Ice Cream," and this time it even climbed to the top of the trending list.
Originally, Miss Luo Quan had sent out a preview in advance, saying that the upcoming songs were relatively ordinary, so the fans were listening with the mindset of "let's just listen; I've already bought it, can I get a refund anyway?"
After listening, everyone couldn't help but want to say to Miss Luo Quan: "You bad woman, you tricked us so badly!"
Can a song of this quality be called ordinary? Then there are few songs in the entire Chinese music scene that can be called excellent.
"This is definitely an epoch-making work. Miss Luo Quan used her overflowing talent to prove to the world why she is called a god.
Just like the lyrics in the song, I'll just get out of the car myself and direct the traffic of the music scene!
Don't think the lyrics of this song are too weak; in my opinion, this is the instruction manual written for the whole song; the real essence is all in the melody and arrangement!
After listening, I have no other thoughts but to worship; this is music created by aesthetics and talent that are a generation ahead of the Chinese music scene. If anyone mentions 'talent exhaustion' to me again, I'll be furious!"
This was the most upvoted answer; it didn't have any professional knowledge, the emotion was relatively pure, and it told netizens that Miss Luo Quan is too awesome, but it didn't say exactly where she was awesome.
Fortunately, the second most upvoted answer made up for this gap:
"Perhaps many music fans will feel confused after listening to the song, feeling that this song is a bit too noisy and not as pleasant to listen to as songs like 'Qilixiang' or 'Blue and White Porcelain.'
But in terms of musicality, this song is definitely at the ceiling level of the Chinese music scene.
This is a dance song that integrates more than a dozen styles such as electronic, hip-hop, blues, jazz, swing, funk, classical, psychedelic, bossa nova, and Chinese style. The first interlude is Bach decomposition, the second interlude is finding quiet in the noise, Chopin's posthumous work 1800, the major key turning to the same-note minor key and then to E major is simply invincible!
With so much content, it would take me half a minute just to describe it, and Miss Luo Quan actually integrated them perfectly into just a few minutes. This kind of craftsmanship is beyond the reach of us mortals.
This is destined to be a technical work that cannot be accepted by the general public, but it is also destined to be remembered in music history. Its only drawback is probably that the lyrics are too weak and the melody is not as good as those previous hit songs."
The second answer was clearly more technical, but because there were too many professional terms, many music fans couldn't understand what he was talking about, only having a feeling of "I don't know what it is, but it seems awesome."
And the first answer was just purely praising Miss Luo Quan for being awesome, letting everyone know that Miss Luo Quan had created another divine song, straightforward and clear, so it got more upvotes.
This is so similar to the situation of the song "Turkish Ice Cream"; content full of technical elements is not liked by many people, while content that digs deep into the mass market becomes very popular.
This makes countless music fans who consider themselves to have good taste feel sorry and sad.
In their minds, such a divine song should be praised and worshipped by everyone.
But after the song came out, except for briefly reaching the top in the first hour of its release, it was quickly squeezed out by other internet hit songs, and the decline in popularity was faster than imaginable.
Many people didn't understand, looking at the new song that had already retreated out of the top five, all having a sense of desolation that a pearl had been cast aside.
"Why don't you understand this?"
The next day, Miss Luo Quan's live broadcast room.
When she saw many fans sending bullet comments complaining and venting, she said with a smile: "Because this song is indeed not that pleasant to listen to; it's purely for showing off skills for the sake of musicality, and in terms of popularity, it just can't compare to songs like 'Confession Balloon' and 'The Greatest Work'."
As the person involved, Miss Luo Quan didn't feel that her sincerity had been betrayed at all, and even helped the frustrated fans with psychological counseling.
"It's still hard to accept that such a divine song didn't even reach a day of popularity before it completely cooled down."
"A work with painstaking effort is ignored, while a casual work becomes a hit; thinking about it, it's really ironic."
"Luo Bao, don't you feel sorry? This should also be a work of blood and sweat that you thought of after countless nights, right?"
………………
Looking at the fans' regretful bullet comments, Miss Luo Quan said with a smile: "It wasn't that particularly hard; from the impulse to create to finishing the recording, it only took a few hours."
"Then you are truly awesome; I'm convinced."
"Having talent means being fearless; sister can write a basketful of songs like this in the future."
"Then it's fine; Luo Bao herself doesn't feel sorry, so what are we sighing here for?"
"But thinking about it, I still feel very unwilling."
………………
"If it were when I was young and just starting out, perhaps I would feel as annoyed as everyone else." Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera, revealing a smile of reminiscing about the past, "But now, who would be so angry about such a small matter?
Even for myself, it's impossible to make everyone like it, let alone my songs?
Every style of music has its own audience; we cannot impose our will on others, nor should we use our own taste to belittle others.
No matter how complex and grand the meaning given to a song, the most basic content of music is for people to listen to it, and then for the listener to obtain the emotions the author wants them to obtain.
And the emotion I want everyone to obtain is just to make everyone listen happily; there are no other requirements.
So not only this song, but I also hope everyone can listen to every song in the future happily and not be affected by things outside of music."
After these remarks, the fans in the live broadcast room expressed their tears:
"Well said, Luo Bao; this is what we expected to get when we first started listening to songs."
"Then the question is, does Luo Bao have any plans to release another divine song like 'Ice Cream'?"
"One such experimental song is enough; if there are a few more, are you afraid Luo Bao's popularity won't drop fast enough?"
"Luo Bao herself is probably also very depressed, thinking that every time she released a song before, it wasn't a hit on the hot searches, and she could easily reach the top of major charts? As a result, this time she encountered 'Rakshasa Sea City,' and all the limelight was stolen."
"The release dates overlapped; I feel that the popularity of this album is not even half of the previous one."
"The luck is indeed a bit bad."
………………
Seeing the fans finish regretting the song and start regretting the album's release time, Miss Luo Quan moved her lips, but in the end, she didn't say some things out loud.
Actually, what she wanted to say was that our opportunity is coming; wait patiently for two more days, and we can probably reach the top again.
Because "Rakshasa Sea City" has been popular for so many days, and netizens have been praising it for so many days, the reputation has also changed from 0 negative reviews at the beginning to mixed reviews.
In other words, the peak of this song has passed, and the backlash is about to come.
What are the two things netizens love to do most today?
One is creating gods, and the other is destroying gods.
After something worthy of praise appears, as long as there is a little spark, everyone will immediately follow the trend and spread this fire across the entire internet.
If anyone feels that the fire is too strong and needs to be controlled appropriately, then everyone will attack him in groups, label him with various hats, and wish to deprive him of his human status.
When everyone is praising loudly, if your applause is a little quieter, it will also become a sin.
However, all the brilliance in life will be repaid with loneliness.
In layman's terms, if there is life, there will be death.
After creating a god, what follows is destroying the god.
People are always tireless about creation and destruction; this gives them a sense of pleasure that they can control everything.
Especially pulling an excellent, zero-negative-review person off the altar; the pleasure that desecrating authority brings to the spirit is incomparable to most entertainment behaviors.
So as active as the group of people who created the god were at the beginning, they will only become more intense when destroying the god.
At this time, if you say a fair word, you won't just be labeled; I'm afraid you will be subjected to personal attacks.
When Miss Luo Quan saw that "Rakshasa Sea City" was so popular, she had already vaguely seen what it would look like when it was criticized in the future.
Now many people have begun to question its achievements, and some people feel that even if those people involved had attacked Dao Lang, it wouldn't reach the point of such severe cyberbullying, and they all think his behavior is a bit too much.
Public opinion began to reverse, and the reputation of the song also began to reverse.
The enthusiasm of netizens gradually declined, the voices that were previously covered up were gradually seen by the public, and reason briefly occupied everyone's brains.
Now it seems that the popularity of this song doesn't seem to be because it is truly excellent enough to break the Guinness World Record.
The so-called Guinness World Record is its playback volume during this period, which is said to have exceeded 8 billion, becoming the most played song in the world.
However, the Guinness official quickly clarified, claiming that there was no such thing.
However, because this news was released by marketing accounts and had nothing to do with Dao Lang himself, many fans were articulate, feeling that this was not the song's own fault.
But do trolls care about the truth behind the farce? They just fear the world won't be in chaos.
Creating a god before was following the trend; the public's emotions were high, and they needed to conform to the environment.
And now, it's time to enter the stage of destroying the god.
So negative comments about "Rakshasa Sea City" on the internet also began to spring up like mushrooms, and the number of comments expressing agreement was also very large.
There are many Chinese netizens; for as many people who liked this song before, there will be as many people who hate this song.
However, because the previous trend was praise, those who hated it couldn't organize effective opposition voices.
Now that the trend has changed, they are naturally at the forefront, intending to let Dao Lang's true fans know what the duality of new-era internet people is.
Miss Luo Quan herself has experienced similar things; when she first debuted, she was praised by netizens for working hard abroad alone, creating so much history, being so popular with foreigners, and all kinds of praise like winning glory for the country were placed on her.
The posture was as if they wanted to build her into a star of China.
As a result, a few rumors spread by a random marketing account immediately made those people turn against her and start attacking her without limits.
Even though her ability to withstand pressure was so strong, she was almost broken by the spraying.
Fortunately, this situation of being blacklisted by the whole network didn't last long; it was quickly clarified, and her reputation reversed again.
But since then, Miss Luo Quan has become cautious about the praise of netizens.
She is happy to accept it when everyone praises her, but she will never take it to heart; who knows if they will scold her even more intensely in the future.
The faces of netizens being arrogant before and humble after are not the first time they have appeared; except for those loyal fans, she will not take any comments from any passersby to heart, whether good or bad.
As for Dao Lang's new song, Miss Luo Quan guessed the predicament it might face in the future the first time she saw it.
That is, its quality is not good enough to carry the huge popularity it has currently obtained.
As the saying goes, if virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster; the mindless praisers disperse, and the mindless haters will begin.
So in a few days, the popularity of "Rakshasa Sea City" will decrease, and then the number of people scolding it will also begin to increase.
At that time, if one thing is not handled well, it might cause the song and the singer himself to encounter a lot of criticism.
This is good news for Miss Luo Quan, who wants to regain the top spot, but she certainly cannot say the truth; that would seem too scheming and too "green tea."
Of course, she couldn't stand up at this time and persuade netizens not to praise too hard or scold too hard.
There is a saying that if loyalty is not thorough, it is thorough disloyalty; like this kind of fence-sitting behavior that pleases neither side, it is destined to be sprayed by netizens if said out loud.
So Miss Luo Quan thought about it and decided not to meddle in other people's business.
"The Chinese songs on the album basically end here." Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera and began to change the subject, "Why basically end? Because the tenth pure music track will have a considerable part of Chinese style."
"However, this is a piece that combines Chinese and Western styles; it can be considered a relatively new attempt. The style of the piece is very fiery and belongs to the category of war songs. When you listen to it, please adjust your emotions and don't knock over the surrounding furniture because you are too excited."
The fans were immediately surprised:
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"You revealed such interesting content so early; have you considered everyone's feelings?"
"The atmosphere has been built up to this point; why don't you just release this tenth track, Luo Bao, to save everyone from long nights and many dreams."
"If you ask me, just release the remaining five together; isn't that more once and for all?"
"Exactly, I've already paid for the full album; why can't I listen to all the songs?"
"Yes, Luo Bao, you must fully respect the wishes of consumers, otherwise I will give your new album one star!"
"Exactly, exactly."
…………
"How can you be so unreasonable!" Miss Luo Quan looked at these bullet comments that were like children throwing a tantrum and laughed helplessly.
