Chapter 1275
What is a timeless classic?
I believe that when fans see such a question, the answer will appear in their minds in an instant.
"My Heart Will Go On," "Time to Say Goodbye," "Little River Flows," "Jiu'er."
And accompanying the appearance of such songs are Miss Luo Quan's soaring, supreme high notes that seem capable of waking the night.
She often tells fans that to demonstrate vocal technique, high notes are not necessarily required.
But high notes can indeed bring shock to listeners at the first moment, which is often more effective than other singing methods.
Miss Luo Quan has never been a person who sees things in black and white; she has no prejudice against high notes. On the contrary, because she is good at high notes, she often performs this technique flawlessly in songs that require them.
So when a song that should have been a timeless masterpiece receives her perfect interpretation, the song becomes a work of art among works of art.
"Burning Passion in the Fierce Rain" is another ultimate embodiment of Miss Luo Quan's vocal skills, with super-fast transitions between chest and throat tones and majestic sound pressure. When the climax arrived, all the fans, separated by the screen, seemed to feel her fiery sound waves capable of igniting even the pouring rain.
"But I set fire to the rain
I ignited the sparks of love in the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Watched it pour down just as I touched your face
Well it burned while I cried
Following it was the burning of my unstoppable tears
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name your name
Just because I heard it screaming your name your name
………………"
The singing voice didn't have particularly high notes like "Eternal Love," but the emotions poured into it made people feel their inner hearts becoming increasingly intense.
This is a song with great staying power; of course, being addictive after one listen is also an attribute it possesses.
And during Miss Luo Quan's performance, the rain suddenly falling from the sky pushed this MV directly to a peak that could be called a work of art.
Miss Luo Quan's beauty and singing voice in the rain were not diminished in the slightest; even the music penetrating through the rain curtain added a unique artistic conception to this scene.
From this song, fans seemed to see a moving opera.
The final ending was like Miss Luo Quan's trailing note, ending without a result; the story had no ending, and the ending of this song still needs the listeners to continue.
"What kind of song is this?"
"'Burning Passion in the Fierce Rain,' the translation is too good. If it were translated literally as 'I ignited a flame in the rain,' it would completely lack that feeling."
"The song is too good to listen to, and the MV visuals are too beautiful. Luo Bao's ability to create atmosphere is truly becoming more and more powerful."
"Damn it, this woman is always trying to find ways to make me love her more; she must be interested in me."
"Just listen to the song, why are you drinking alcohol?"
"Hahaha, everyone starts dreaming collectively once their emotions get excited, right?"
"This is already booked for next year's Grammy, Best Song plus Best MV. When the time comes, perform in the rain at the Grammy ceremony, and you can directly take Best Live Performance too."
"Not necessarily, maybe in two days Luo Bao will bring out an even better one?"
"Haha, that's really something to look forward to, but it's mostly impossible."
………………
After the song finished playing, just looking at the fans' discussion, one could tell how much this song suited their tastes.
This year-end final chapter can be considered to have drawn a perfect period to this year's music work. Except for the quantity being slightly small, they were all very satisfied with this mini-album.
At the same time, everyone began to look forward to the New Year, because once the New Year arrives, the countdown to the release of Miss Luo Quan's new album begins again, and then everyone can rightfully urge for more updates.
Speaking of the New Year, one has to mention the Spring Festival Gala.
Although it is only November now, just past Double Eleven, netizens have already begun discussing the Spring Festival Gala.
It's just that the content of the discussion is which old tropes will be actively used again this year, or is it always about being urged to get married?
These are all contents that have been performed year after year. Let alone watching them, netizens are even tired of complaining about them.
Originally, Miss Luo Quan had no interest in discussing these. The Spring Festival Gala is just a supplement and background for a family reunion on New Year's Eve.
Is the content that important? The key is to have that atmosphere of the New Year.
Anyway, as long as Miss Luo Quan sees her dad, mom, sisters, and friends, she feels the atmosphere is enough. As for what is actually performed in the program and whether it is performed well, it doesn't matter anymore.
Of course, last year she went up and played a foreign daughter-in-law, urging netizens to get married, which also caused quite a lot of discussion.
If it were someone else urging marriage, it would be fine if the sketch was funny; if it wasn't funny, who knows how much it would be complained about.
Fortunately, the netizens' tolerance for Miss Luo Quan is still very high. After all, they all think that if Luo Bao were to urge them to get married and have children, they would still be very willing.
It's the New Year, can't one dream a beautiful dream?
So last year, Miss Luo Quan didn't receive many complaints about the Spring Festival Gala; there was more praise for her being beautiful.
This year, she hasn't received any notification yet, so it's estimated that there's no part for her.
After all, playing a foreign daughter-in-law once is enough; it's impossible to play this persona every year.
And even if they called her, she was prepared to turn it down.
Because this year she wants to spend New Year's Eve properly with her family.
However, what Miss Luo Quan didn't expect was that before the time for aunts and uncles to urge marriage during the New Year, her own parents started doing this.
Early in the morning, Miss Luo Quan woke up to the ticking sound of the alarm clock. After washing up, she simply ate a few steamed buns and drove with her younger brother to pick up her parents.
It was said that the shipping company's affairs in the United States had been finished this year, and the rest could be handled by remote meetings, so her dad planned to take her mom back to China to visit relatives and spend the New Year here.
They got on the plane yesterday afternoon; Miss Luo Quan was heading over now and would be able to pick them up in an hour or two.
This time going out, she definitely couldn't be as casual as before, so Miss Luo Quan and her younger brother Gao Liang were both well-protected, with sunglasses, scarves, and hats, covering their heads tightly.
But once her mom and dad came out later, these protections would have no meaning.
Her mom and dad were also quite famous on the internet, and there were already many paparazzi and reporters at Shanghai Airport, so they would soon be recognized.
Then this couple would get off the plane with a boy and a girl standing beside them; who else could it be but Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang?
However, considering that Miss Luo Quan's fans didn't know her whereabouts at all, even if they wanted to come over to watch the excitement, it would probably be too late, so there was no need to worry about causing any traffic jams later.
"Sis, I guess I'll have to wait a while to film 'Manchester by the Sea'." In the coffee shop, Gao Liang took a big sip of Moutai-flavored hot coffee and said to Miss Luo Quan in a deep voice: "The Hollywood strike has stopped, and major film crews are preparing to resume work. My 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is also about to start filming."
"That's a good thing." Miss Luo Quan took a sip of plain water, "And 'Manchester by the Sea' was originally planned to be filmed next year; it's still in the preparation stage now."
"That's good." Gao Liang nodded lightly, "Also, I have to trouble you with one more thing, and that is to take care of little Arthur."
"What, you don't want this son anymore?" Miss Luo Quan laughed out loud, "Could it be that you and your wife are planning to run off to the United States together for a world for two, and then leave the baby with me?"
"There's no other way." Gao Liang chuckled, "Recently, Mia's family has been arguing over the heir issue. Taking Arthur back now would just be adding trouble, wouldn't it?
And Mia's grandfather said that there is already a lot of money in the family, so there's no need to get involved in those family matters, so as not to add more worries.
So it's better not to let Arthur go back, to avoid this struggle; it won't be too late to go back after the inheritance rights are determined."
"It seems every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite." Hearing Gao Liang's words, Miss Luo Quan immediately thought of the relationship between her dad and her second uncle.
Brothers are definitely still brothers, but because of the company's control, the relationship between the two brothers had indeed developed some cracks, and it would never be as pure as when they were little.
"If I have many children in the future, I'll make a will before I die, donate half of the family property, and give the other half directly to them to split equally, so as not to have them fighting after I die and hurting the harmony between siblings."
Gao Liang said, taking a hard sip of coffee. Judging by his tone and expression, he seemed to be very disdainful of the troublesome matters in Mia's family.
Actually, that's normal. Gao Liang and Mia are not the type of people who value money particularly highly; they both feel that as long as it's enough, it's fine.
So they rarely participate in family power struggles.
As parents, they certainly don't want their children to experience these things; being happy and joyful forever is the most important thing.
"With your current lifespan, it's too early to make a will." Miss Luo Quan teased with a smile, "Alright, just leave Arthur with me to take care of. It just so happens that after Mom and Dad come back, they'll probably throw Luo Xi to me too.
Anyway, raising one child is the same as raising two; there's no difference."
"Then you are truly too happy; you can experience the feeling of being a mother without giving birth to a baby." Gao Liang gave his older sister a thumbs up.
"That's a way to put it, but money is good when it's someone else's, while a son must be precious when it's your own." Miss Luo Quan rolled her eyes, feeling that Gao Liang was completely joking.
Chatting like this, the plane they were waiting for arrived.
In the crowd, Miss Luo Quan quickly found her mom and dad, as well as Luo Xi, who was being held in their arms.
The little one could actually walk on his own, but perhaps because there were many people and they were worried about safety, he was still being held in her dad's arms.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women attracted quite a lot of attention. Her mom at least wore sunglasses, while her dad only wrapped a scarf.
Soon someone recognized them, including the paparazzi and reporters who were waiting for a rabbit.
In China, airports in Beijing and Shanghai are the places where you are most likely to meet stars, because many important entertainment activities are concentrated in these two cities, and stars often travel back and forth between them.
So as long as you have a sharp pair of eyes and wait at the exit day and night, you will always have a harvest.
Of course, those were the clumsy methods of the entertainment industry more than ten years ago.
Where is the need for such bitter waiting now? You can just spend money to buy the itinerary arrangements from the star's agent.
Now, in order to build popularity, stars will reveal to the outside world when they will arrive and where they will go, and then the fan club will organize fans to pick them up.
When the time comes, reporters will take photos, and their names will soon appear on the trending searches.
Netizens will definitely scold them, but this is all about discussion; with discussion comes traffic, and with traffic, you have everything.
So even if those stars appear very impatient in front of the camera in the trending searches, most of them are itineraries they leaked themselves; it's all just acting.
So many netizens say that if these acting skills were used in filming, they wouldn't be called "little fresh meat" by everyone.
The paparazzi and reporters on the scene were originally here to photograph another female star arriving in Shanghai today; they didn't know the itinerary of Miss Luo Quan's parents in advance.
But since they bumped into them, there was naturally no reason to let them go just like that.
What's more, Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang were right beside them; this was big news, and publishing it would suck up all the traffic.
So a group of reporters raised their cameras and planned to go over to take close-up photos.
In the past, Miss Luo Quan would have planned to go over and drive them away directly; after all, her gentleness and ferocity were very famous in the entertainment industry.
But these were all within the reporters' plans, because the news of Miss Luo Quan hitting someone would definitely be more explosive than a few ordinary walking photos.
"Miss Luo Quan's family appears at Shanghai Airport" would at most make it to the top ten trending searches.
But if it were "Miss Luo Quan hits someone," it would at least hang on the number one trending search for a day.
This was the plan they had made in their hearts; anyway, Miss Luo Quan wouldn't dare to use heavy force in public, and it's hard to say whether being hit twice by such a beautiful woman counts as a loss.
However, Gao Liang was here today, so this kind of thing would naturally be handled by him, the male member of the family.
Seeing her take out a black umbrella she had prepared, she opened it and directly blocked all the family members beside her.
Because these reporters were basically gathered on one side, Gao Liang's umbrella blocked all the lenses.
The time for taking photos was only that little bit; Gao Liang walked with the umbrella for half a minute, and the group left the airport hall and got into the car that had been parked on the side of the road.
"Sigh, it's like meeting a secret agent, making such a big fuss."
After Luo Ni sat in her seat, she said with a smile.
"Our whole family is considered a celebrity now, so we are definitely prone to attracting reporters."
Eric didn't have much resistance to these; after all, he was also a person who often made the news, and he had dealt with the paparazzi many times.
"Dad, how long do you plan to stay after coming back this time?"
After Gao Liang closed the car door, he asked while fastening his seatbelt.
"We have to stay until the New Year is over, why?" Eric asked curiously while holding Luo Xi.
Gao Liang replied: "Mia and I might have to return to the United States before the end of the month. We have to finish filming the movie there before we can come back; it will probably take a month or two."
Luo Ni smiled and said: "Go ahead, if things go smoothly, you two might even be able to come back for the Spring Festival."
