Chapter 1274: Burning Passion in the Violent Rain

Human desire is like a rolling stone on a high mountain; once it starts, it can never stop.

This sentence can be said to be perfectly appropriate for the fans in the live broadcast room.

After Miss Luo Quan rejected everyone's request to cosplay, she immediately returned to the cliché topic, which is when the new song will be released.

Seeing that this year is about to end, with only the last forty days left, it's no wonder everyone is in a hurry.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan didn't say she wouldn't release it. After all, the new album from the previous few days was already in preparation, but seeing fans urging it every day sometimes makes people feel a bit tired.

In the final analysis, it was because she set her persona image too rigidly when she first debuted.

Others debut with one album a year, and slow ones even release one every three years, which is very normal.

She, on the other hand, released three a year, plus those scattered singles, which converts to having new songs to listen to every week.

This can certainly gain her huge popularity in a short time, but the consequence is that it raises the threshold of fans.

Originally, everyone's threshold was that an album every two or three years plus some singles was acceptable.

But now it has reached the point where if they don't hear a new song within a month, they will feel that she is lazy.

The requirements for the album are even higher. Three a year is a hard standard, and every album must guarantee quality, otherwise it is "Jiang Lang Cai Jin" (talent exhausted).

Although Miss Luo Quan has become accustomed to the greed and insatiability of fans, she still feels a little tired every time she is urged.

She knows this is a way for fans to like her, but it's not good if it's too much.

The good news is that she can still satisfy the endless demands of fans. At least her song library is still in a very abundant state so far, so there is no need to worry about "talent exhaustion."

Besides that, what she wants to do this time is also a mini-album, with a total of three to four songs, and the workload will be much smaller.

"To be honest, the ending song I sang for Titan can actually be included in the mini-album. Don't you think the quality of that song is quite good?"

As soon as this was said, the fans exploded:

"Luo Bao, what do you mean?"

"Your idea is very dangerous."

"Woman, it seems that the recent pampering has made you a bit floaty. It's time to start punishing you."

"Hahaha, Luo Bao is always looking for ways to be lazy."

"Including it is fine, but it doesn't mean you can release one less song in your mini-album. It should be how many it should be."

………………

The fans' strict defense made Miss Luo Quan show a wicked smile. Sometimes it's quite interesting to tease them in this way.

Obviously, she said this just to tease the fans and see if they would be nervous because of her decision to be lazy.

The actual situation also met her expectations very well.

Of course, if this kind of behavior is done too much and the fans are annoyed, it won't be good. She doesn't want the live broadcast room to be full of black nicknames like Abyss Giant Mouth, Rafflesia, etc.

Usually, if one or two people brush these, they can be directly banned. If there are many people making trouble, it is not easy to handle, after all, the law does not blame the public.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you. You don't know my personality yet? Is there ever a time when I break my promise?"

Miss Luo Quan said, clicking on the folder named "Year-End Finale" on the computer screen.

Inside lay five songs quietly, three of which were songs that had been released before, namely "Desolate Beauty" and "What Do I Use to Keep You."

These two songs were sung because of a sudden feeling during the live broadcast, but because the quality was quite good, they were included in this album by Miss Luo Quan.

Of course, such behavior does not mean that they have been rejuvenated. After all, these two songs are very popular on major platforms.

Like "Desolate Beauty," it often appears in major emotional video sections. As soon as the long chant in the climax comes out, it makes people feel numb and goosebumps keep popping up.

Such good songs can always bring people irresistible moving, and paired with some regretful emotional stories, it is easy to make people teary-eyed.

"What Do I Use to Keep You" is the same, and its power in making people teary is simply unrivaled, so its popularity has not been low since its release.

Now that old songs are mentioned again, maybe they can go a step further and become popular.

These are two old songs in the five songs of the new album, and the other three new songs are very worth listening to just from the song title.

First is the Chinese song "Cage," then the Japanese song "Suzume," and finally the English song "Set Fire to the Rain," which is translated quite faithfully and elegantly as "Burning Passion in the Violent Rain."

"Then the question is, which one do you want to listen to first?"

"A friendly reminder, one of these songs has an MV."

Miss Luo Quan said in a tempting tone.

Opening blind boxes has always been the favorite of young fans. From game card drawing to Bilibili figure mall, this kind of gambling behavior always brings huge pleasure when they successfully win big with small.

However, most people buy things worth 100 yuan for 150 yuan. It's already very good to break even.

But even so, many people still flock to it, believing that they will be the lucky one in a hundred.

This is the same psychology as many people buying lottery tickets. There is always someone who wins the lottery, why can't that person be me?

However, this lottery ticket is not doing well because of dishonesty.

Compared to this, drawing cards in the game is still more reliable, at least there is a guarantee, no matter how black the face is, there is a limit.

As for the Bilibili blind box mall, it used to be quite a pitfall, at the level where whoever placed an order would immediately become a big sucker.

Fortunately, after Miss Luo Quan took over, she immediately ordered the mall to rectify.

The probability of blind boxes is adjusted appropriately, and the value of the prizes inside can also be more affordable.

Making money is fine, but you can't cheat money.

The effect brought by this measure is that the number of users buying blind boxes on Bilibili has increased by several percent immediately. Although the net profit has dropped a lot, small profits but quick turnover is also a way out.

After all, the previous way of doing things was completely fishing in a dried-up lake, and the eating style was just like selling a wave and then running away with the money.

Those who need to spend money to open blind boxes are so popular, now that it's free to open blind boxes, the fans' enthusiasm is naturally higher.

Miss Luo Quan initiated a vote, and tens of thousands of people participated in the blink of an eye.

And the one that finally won first place was "Suzume." Everyone felt that this song had an MV, so they wanted to listen to it first.

"Unfortunately, this is not the correct answer." Miss Luo Quan shook her head regretfully, then clicked to play.

"Doo—doo doo—doo doo doo doo......"

At the beginning of the song, it was a string of very pleasant humming, which immediately captured the ears of all fans.

"Worthy of being Luo Bao's Japanese song, the melody is directly into the soul."

"Japanese songs are often known for their beautiful melodies, and Luo Bao's are especially prominent in this regard."

"It feels like a very fresh song, it should be very happy."

"To say it's happy, it has to be Luo Bao's Raindrop Song, but I guess not many people remember it."

"How could there not be many? That's a classic."

"The beginnings of the two songs are quite similar, both are humming without lyrics."

"But the style of Raindrop Song is happier and brighter."

………………

Amidst the muttering of the fans, "Suzume" passed through the main verse, chorus, and the final climax.

Originally, everyone thought this was a happy and warm-themed song, but unexpectedly, the final effect presented was quite heavy.

Searching, destiny, bonds, redemption, and life-and-death encounters and companionship.

A song can be very small or very large, small enough to discuss only the feelings of two people, and large enough to use the entire universe to carry this destined romance.

However, the only flaw is that a sweet love song is written a bit depressing, and the fans pursed their lips in dissatisfaction:

"It's good to listen to, but it seems a little bit sad."

"Listen to that song 'Cage.' According to Miss Luo Quan's preference, the song title has 'cage,' and the lyrics must be breaking the cage."

"Just like 'Sea,' right?"

"But why do I always have a bad premonition? This song feels like it will be even more depressing."

"Whatever, just listen to it."

………………

Soon, the second song that fans chose to listen to was released, which is this "Cage."

However, it is a pity that this song still has no MV, and the cover of the song is Miss Luo Quan soaking in the deep sea, with some light illuminating her body, but the overall trend is downward.

Compared to "Suzume," this is completely depressing, and the lyrics can be said to perfectly fit this theme.

After singing, it is like finishing a suspense movie, a love-hate relationship full of betrayal and conspiracy. Those who don't know would think they watched a dark version of the Conan theatrical version.

"This song has quite a lot of visual sense. If it were made into a movie based on this theme, the box office would definitely sell well."

"The song is indeed good, but it's almost New Year's, why make such a depressing thing? Is there anything that makes people feel more refreshed?"

"There is a feeling of being blocked in the heart. This 'Cage' made me have a bad impression of my boyfriend. I'm afraid of being harmed by him."

"Are you serious? Don't be too outrageous. Having a sense of substitution means the song is good. If you substitute too deeply, it's because your brain-filling ability is too strong."

"Ask, why did my girlfriend suddenly want to break up with me after listening to a song."

"Hahaha, Luo Bao, you really did bad things." 【1

"Mourning for this fellow man I've never met."

"It seems the theme of this album is emo. The remaining song even burns away emotions; it's probably even more emo."

"Good news, this song definitely has an MV."

"Duh, it's the only one left."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Luo Bao film an MV. Will it be an entire short film, just like the previous 'Ugly Girl Transformation'?"

"That 'Maria' was truly invincible and great to listen to."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

………………

Amidst the clamor, Miss Luo Quan clicked on the folder for the last song, "Burning Passion in the Fierce Rain."

The other folders contained music in mp3 format, while this folder's format was mp4.

Of course, this did not make everyone feel surprised.

It was just that the file wasn't particularly large, indicating that the length of this MV was only four or five minutes; this amount of content probably couldn't film anything significant.

Clicking play and expanding to full screen, the livestream screen then plunged into darkness for five or six seconds.

"Watch carefully, who is the handsome guy appearing on camera?"

"I thought my phone had a problem; seeing the bullet comments still scrolling, I finally felt relieved."

"This opening feels very unusual; it feels like something incredible is about to come out."

"Is five minutes really enough time to shock people?"

"Everyone be quiet, the song is coming."

………………

Bullet comments scrolled across the dark screen, and then everything lit up.

The MV scene was in an open-air theater. Miss Luo Quan, wearing a dark red evening gown, had a figure that appeared plump yet slender under the outline of the silk, reaching an incomparably perfect balance, blooming with the brilliance of a rose.

Below the theater sat men, women, old, and young, dressed in various ways, but all casual and relaxed; it didn't look like they were here to attend any important occasion.

The looks they gave Miss Luo Quan were full of respect and worship, as if they were gazing at their own deity.

Even the most devoted B-fans of Miss Luo Quan couldn't show such a look.

It makes one curious about the mood in which these listeners finished listening to this song.

The song's prelude rang out, rhythmic percussion accompanied by some kind of string instrument, plus the stage where Miss Luo Quan stood gathered in the spotlight, giving people the feeling of watching Broadway.

It was like a Broadway musical, but the only actor was Miss Luo Quan, yet that was enough.

"I let it fall my heart

I have chosen to let my heart fall freely

And as it fell you rose to claim it

But you pulled it from the abyss

It was dark and I was over

The world was so dark and I had no hope

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

Until you kissed my lips and redeemed my soul

………………"

Miss Luo Quan's voice was completely different from her usual sweet, soft, and refreshing style; it carried a full-chested tone within its laziness, and in some pronunciations, one could even hear the throat tone that made the top of one's skull tremble.

This characteristic made almost all the old fans sit up straight, simultaneously turning up the volume and listening with rapt attention.

For most songs, Miss Luo Quan generally uses two completely different singing methods.

One is more catchy; for the sake of popularity, she deliberately lowers the difficulty of the singing, and the voice is also a little-girl style that is easier for everyone to accept, with great approachability.

"Warmth" is the most typical embodiment of this.

And the other singing method is the one before us, a powerful mix that no singer can imitate or replicate the moment she opens her mouth.

This is Miss Luo Quan's signature, and also the singing method most likely to strike the listener's soul.

And such a singing method is often used in songs that are timeless classics.
