~10 min read 1,888 words

Ps. Thanks to book friends "God of Lamps" and "I am not a Tsundere" for the book coin rewards!

A middle-aged man in a suit greeted him: "Go and prepare, the media reporters have been waiting for you for a while."

After Gao Liang left, the middle-aged man talked to Miss Luo Quan alone.

"You must be Gao Liang's sister, Miss Luo Quan, right!"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am one of the managers of Universal Music. You can call me Prinka. We have communicated before."

Miss Luo Quan clapped her hands: "I remember, when the Lovemusic band signed the contract, you called me!"

Prinka smiled and said: "Yes, the new artist's itinerary arrangement and resource allocation are all handled by me."

"I didn't expect that you would be Gao Liang's sister, and you wrote two such good songs for him."

"He and I only recognized each other recently. I have been living with my mother before."

"Anyway, it is something to be happy about that you have become a family now." Prinka hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth with a smile: "Although I mentioned it to you once before, I still want to ask you, are you interested in joining our Universal Music?"

"I have already inquired about Sony. They said you are not a contracted artist of Sony. You only signed the distribution rights of the songs to them, and you are a free body."

Miss Luo Quan was surprised: "Can you even inquire about this kind of thing?"

Prinka smiled very implicitly: "People, always like money. Besides, this kind of thing is not a trade secret."

"I really didn't sign a contract with any company." Miss Luo Quan also admitted this generously, "But I don't want to sign a contract with any company."

"We can make many promises. You can enjoy very great autonomy in the contract, and I can also give you the market's highest price for record sales share!" The conditions given by Prinka were very sincere. She had also heard similar words from Director Shi Cun of Sony and Manager Zhou Yangwen of Penguin Entertainment.

Miss Luo Quan's answer was also very consistent: "If there is a chance, I will consider cooperating with you, but I can't sign this contract."

"Why?" Prinka's expression was very frustrated. He took out such conditions, but he couldn't move Miss Luo Quan!

Miss Luo Quan's eyes were apologetic: "It's very complicated to explain. In short, I am not short of money, so I don't want to restrict my freedom because of the contract. Even if you say the freedom of the contract will be very high, signing the contract means that freedom is restricted, and no matter how high it is, it won't be high enough."

Prinka frowned: "But if you are like this, it is very difficult to develop in the American entertainment industry. Without excellent publicity channels, the accumulation of fame will be much slower."

Miss Luo Quan smiled: "I have always believed that as long as the strength is strong enough, success is not a difficult thing. If I bloom, the butterflies will come. You should understand this truth, right?"

Prinka sighed: "For a genius like you, it is indeed like this."

This French agent's sincere solicitation eventually ended in failure. He didn't know what went wrong, so that Miss Luo Quan refused to sign with Universal Music under such generous conditions.

Probably every genius has some strange habits. These darlings favored by God are always more individual than ordinary people, and money is lighter than anything to them.

On the other side, Gao Liang had already taken the stage and started the new album release conference.

At the press conference, he introduced the overall creative ideas and concepts of the songs in this album, and focused on introducing the two title songs written by his sister for him.

Media reporters have always been very interested in this kind of news. A reporter asked: "What kind of mood was your sister in when she wrote this love song?"

"How do I know this?" Gao Liang answered very straightforwardly, "Originally in my plan, there was no such love song. However, the company said my songs didn't meet the public's aesthetic taste and forced me to add one."

"I couldn't write it, so I had to let my sister do it for me. She is a genius of music. She probably only spent half a day creating this song."

"Your sister's talent is recognized by everyone. Then do you think there will be a chance for you to cooperate on a song in the future?"

Gao Liang answered seriously: "I don't know. This depends on her opinion. I don't care, but I don't like singing love songs, I like Rap!"

"Is Gao Liang so fond of singing Rap?" Miss Luo Quan asked Seifert curiously under the stage.

Seifert nodded: "I met him in an underground rap competition. He often went to Battle (duel) with those black rappers. At first, he was sprayed with blood, and he couldn't return his mouth, but now..."

"What about now?"

"Now in the underground rap competition in New York, he is an emperor-like existence. He sprayed ten games in a row, the vocabulary was not repeated, and the speed was so fast that it was outrageous. It can be considered practiced."

Miss Luo Quan muttered: "That's really amazing..."

"A fan of yours said she had never seen your smile, and she requested me to make this request to you. Now she is also watching the live broadcast of the press conference. I don't know if you are willing to satisfy the request of this loyal fan?" A reporter said sincerely to Gao Liang.

"Smile?" Gao Liang was stunned. What kind of strange request is this? Does it mean he was a "Sima face" before?

However, it's not a difficult thing anyway, so he bit the bullet and bent his lips.

Okay, the atmosphere at the scene was awkward, and Gao Liang's expression was stiff when he smiled.

After the joke, the press conference entered the key point.

Gao Liang's new album will be on the shelves in the early morning of the 25th, and this press conference, he will take out the title song first to give everyone a taste.

Taking advantage of the live broadcast, Gao Liang played the only love song of the album, which is "Baby" written by Miss Luo Quan for him.

The style of the song is fresh and sweet, the melody is catchy, and you can remember the general idea after listening to it once. All Gao Liang fans watching the live broadcast were amazed by Gao Liang's little milk dog-like voice.

Before, he sang rap and deliberately raised his voice relatively high. No fans had heard what his normal singing voice was like. I didn't expect the voice singing "Baby" to be so good!

That feeling is like a breeze blowing across the face in spring, a stream flowing through in summer, and the fans' ears are almost pregnant.

It is foreseeable that after today, Gao Liang will be promoted directly from a national younger brother to a girl killer. The lethality of this image and voice is too great, and it is difficult for girls to resist such temptation.

Christmas arrived, and Gao Liang's album "Young" was immediately on the shelves.

Sales exceeded one million in half an hour, directly breaking the sales record of American male singers!

In this new era ruled by young people on the Internet, Gao Liang's appeal is too great. Moreover, the consumption power of fan circle girls is world-famous, plus the quality of the title song "Baby" is indeed high. The combination of multiple factors allowed Gao Liang to create a record in the American music circle that has no predecessor and is difficult to have a successor.

Of course, compared with his sister's realm, it is still a bit worse. When Miss Luo Quan's album was released, the pre-sale volume alone exceeded two million, which is still unique in the world's record sales records!

And when Gao Liang's album was selling well, the public opinion environment for Miss Luo Quan in China was not very good.

December 25th, there was no news about Miss Luo Quan's new album here, not even a little audio clip, as if it wasn't being produced at all.

Fans asked her about the progress of the album on Bilibili every day, and Miss Luo Quan's reply was always just that one sentence: "In tense production, please wait patiently."

"Miss Luo Quan, if you are kidnapped, change a punctuation mark!"

"Why is there a sense of goddess replying to licking dogs, repeating the same sentence over and over again?"

"There are only five days left, even if a hen lays eggs, it can't lay ten in five days!"

"Why don't you discuss what women's clothing Miss Luo Quan should wear."

"I want to make progress and ask her to dance for us..."

"Dancing is impossible, Miss Luo Quan is so straight, she doesn't even wear makeup when she performs on stage. If she really dances, she probably can't even lift her legs."

"Half a month is too short after all, genius can't do it."

Even Bilibili, which trusts her the most, has completely stopped having fantasies at this time, and discussed what women's clothing Miss Luo Quan should wear on New Year's Day next year.

And Miss Luo Quan showed a smile: "It's time to show real technology!"

At 1:00 AM on the 25th New York time, Miss Luo Quan posted a status update on Bilibili: "At 10:00 AM on the 25th Chinese time, I will release two songs on Bilibili, with the themes of Tang poetry and ancient style respectively. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it then."

The time Miss Luo Quan posted the status update was exactly 1:00 PM in China. As soon as the news came out, the whole Bilibili exploded.

There was no sign at all. People who released new albums wished that Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, and even Penguin Look would promote them in all directions, for fear that someone wouldn't know.

This one is good, she only posted a status update on Bilibili. You know, her Bilibili fans haven't reached 1 million yet, and the publicity is almost equal to nothing. It's simply like throwing the publicity work to fans, letting them help her recommend it to others.

But then again, her Weibo account was banned. Apart from Bilibili, where else could she post?

In short, Miss Luo Quan's first Chinese album is finally coming, and it seems that she really fulfilled her promise to fans, using Tang poetry as lyrics to write a song.

It's just that I don't know which Tang poem she chose. Short ones definitely won't work. If the lyrics of a song are just those few sentences, it's definitely not durable.

Then it must be a long poem, and when it comes to long poems, Li Bai, the first poet of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, has many excellent works. I don't know if the poem Miss Luo Quan chose is his.

A group of netizens also made predictions on this issue, and everyone was guessing which Tang poem Miss Luo Quan chose. ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
