"How to evaluate the lip-syncing of the famous pop band October Earth at their concert?"

Because this band is so famous domestically, with popularity basically ranking among the top in the country, it was only after they were exposed for suspected lip-syncing at their concert that such a massive public opinion storm was stirred up.

I guess no one expected that this band would be the one to put a shocking period at the end of the keyword "collapse" at the end of this year.

With the end of the year approaching, someone finally couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped out to pull off a big stunt.

And Luo Quan's fans, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity to let her ride the trend and offer a sharp critique, so as soon as they saw Luo Quan start her stream, several paid comments popped up immediately.

I guess they were afraid that Luo Quan might not see it if there was only one, so they simply sent a few more.

But actually, Luo Quan saw it on the first one, and she immediately responded: "There are many singers who lip-sync, but there really aren't that many who lip-sync at concerts.

To be honest, I have lip-synced at some galas, but I won't say specifically which ones.

There were a few times when I lip-synced and accidents happened, forcing me to switch to live singing on the spot; I wonder if you all noticed."

Hearing Luo Quan say this, the fans were immediately shocked:

"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't even know you had lip-synced."

"It's normal for variety galas; after all, to ensure the performance is foolproof, this is allowed."

"Was the last Bay Area gala live or lip-synced?"

"That time was definitely live; you could tell just by listening."

"Reasonably speaking, does Luo Bao's live performance even need to be questioned? Some people are walking CD players, while she is a walking CD!"

………………

Clearly, the fans did not expect Luo Quan to voluntarily admit to having lip-synced.

However, for something like lip-syncing, one must consider the circumstances.

If it is for the perfection of the program and lip-syncing under uncontrollable circumstances, everyone can express understanding.

But if it is a profit-oriented concert, then it is completely different.

To put it mildly, this is called being sneaky and cheating the fans.

To put it seriously, this is illegal, and if it happens twice, the license can be revoked directly!

Of course, there is no solid evidence yet, so Luo Quan is not in a position to judge.

So, facing the fans' eager anticipation, her answer was: "First of all, lip-syncing at a concert is absolutely unacceptable; if this situation occurs, it only shows that there is a problem with one's character.

Don't use poor health as an excuse; if your health is poor, rest obediently, instead of holding eight concerts in ten days to squeeze money from fans.

Secondly, I think as a singer, if you have to resort to fraud even when singing for fans, then you have lost the greatest joy of being a singer.

Anyway, I would absolutely never do such a stupid thing at my own concert; I haven't done it before, I'm not doing it now, and I definitely won't do it in the future!"

"Well said, Luo Bao's values have always been fine."

"One thing to say, Luo Bao hasn't held many concerts since her debut, so she really doesn't need to lip-sync."

"Hahaha, is this something that can be said?"

"Since we're on this topic, I propose that it wouldn't be too much to ask Luo Bao to hold a concert tour next year, right?"

"If you dare to hold it, I dare to buy a ticket!"

"You're overthinking it; if you ask her to hold an online concert, she can do it for you every day, but if it's offline... do you think the nickname 'Salted Fish Queen' is just for fun?"

"Okay, Luo Bao has gained another nickname."

"Luo Bao really isn't keen on offline concerts; for online concerts, you can let her sing ten songs a day and she'll be happy as can be, but asking her to hold one offline is as difficult as asking for her life."

"To sum it up in three words: afraid of trouble."

"Indeed, Luo Bao has a personality that is very afraid of trouble; it's not that she doesn't want to hold them, but that it's too much trouble to organize. If there were conditions to get all the concert matters done in the blink of an eye, she would definitely be willing to hold concerts for everyone every day."

"Every day is still an exaggeration; everyone's wallets probably couldn't handle it."

"Indeed, with Luo Bao's status, tickets would probably start at three or four hundred."

"Currently, top-tier veteran masters can sell hundreds of millions in box office for a single concert; for Luo Bao, doubling that shouldn't be a problem."

"What's the point of analyzing all this? Luo Bao isn't singing!"

"Indeed, she is really too lazy!"

………………

Sure enough, the fans started accusing her of being a lazy dog as they chatted.

Facing this situation, she was quite calm, after all, it wasn't the first time she had been roasted by fans.

As for concerts, she felt there was no point in holding them.

For most singers, holding concerts is to make money, and a small number want to have close contact with fans.

And for fans from ordinary families, things like concerts might have no chance of participation at all.

So Luo Quan felt that instead of holding such gatherings that only a few people can participate in, it's better to sing online.

This way, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can come and listen.

Although the atmosphere is definitely not as explosive as a concert, the sound quality and listening experience are definitely superior to a live concert.

After all, being in a huge venue with tens of thousands of audience members in front, who knows how much noise there will be; it definitely won't sound very wonderful.

However, because you can have close contact with your idol, and the people around you are very hyped, the atmosphere will definitely be explosive.

This is the reason why many fans like to go to concerts; they are looking for the atmosphere.

"But regardless of whether you are looking for the atmosphere or not, lip-syncing at a concert is very wrong."

Luo Quan said, "Besides, using live singing at the next concert to prove that you didn't lip-sync at the last one, what is the difference between that and 'marking the boat to find the sword'?"

She continued to answer questions from the comments, and although she didn't say it explicitly, it was very obvious which side she was standing on.

And what was unexpected was that after her sharp critique came out, several content creators who had nothing better to do actually started analyzing some of her live performances.

I don't know if it was out of interest or if they deliberately wanted to divert attention, but in any case, Luo Quan was also appraised.

The result of the appraisal surprised quite a few people, which was that every one of Luo Quan's performances, the live and studio versions, were very close in microscopic data like audio frequency.

However, it was not lip-syncing!

This meant that almost every one of Luo Quan's live performances had a very high degree of similarity to the studio version.

A walking CD, truly well-deserved.

And this result immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens:

"According to the theories of those content creators, people shouldn't be able to sing every song accurately the same way, right? So is Luo Quan also lip-syncing at her concerts?"

"Are you seriously showing your stupidity, or are you trying to stir up trouble? I hope it's the latter, because it's hard for a normal person to be this stupid."

"The basis for October Earth's lip-syncing is that the live recording and their previous studio version CD frequency are exactly the same, which is equivalent to playing the original track, while Luo Quan's is very close, which shows that her singing skills are very stable. If you can't even distinguish this and come out to stir up trouble, you are truly both stupid and bad."

"Does Luo Bao's vocal condition need lip-syncing? She's not like a certain band, eight shows in ten days, three hours each, their throats are almost on fire, yet they become full of energy as soon as a fast song starts; even a fool knows there's a problem."

"Indeed, watching them jump higher than rabbits on stage, and yet the songs they sing are incredibly stable; if this isn't lip-syncing, who would believe it?"

"Haha, I didn't feel much before, I just knew the atmosphere was pretty good, but now that I think about it, it really doesn't seem very reasonable."

"The investigation has already started, it shouldn't take long to get results."

"I think everyone shouldn't be too optimistic; I guess this matter will end up with nothing in the end. After all, how much economy can a concert drive? For someone like October Earth, one show is tens of millions in turnover, eight shows in ten days is hundreds of millions. As long as it's not a matter of principle, they will definitely be protected."

"When corruption becomes the norm, innocence becomes a crime."

"Hahaha, so I can't be bothered to deal with these things that are destined to have no results; let's go watch Luo Quan's live stream, family members."

"Luo Bao is simply a rare conscientious singer; knowing that everyone doesn't have money to listen to concerts, she simply doesn't do offline ones and lets everyone listen for free online."

"Putting laziness in such a righteous way, right? But I seem unable to find words to refute it."

"Whatever, just watching Luo Bao's live stream is enough."

………………

Unknowingly, Luo Quan had brushed up an impression of invincible singing skills in the minds of netizens.

In fact, this impression was mainly because she participated in fewer programs.

Other singers, as long as they have some popularity, will sing on various music programs, and have left behind many live performances that can be called legendary; that's how the praise for singing skills started.

And Luo Quan had only been on two or three music variety shows with real influence.

One of the more popular ones was "I Am a Singer," and the other was the Bilibili Good Voice that she organized herself.

Actually, if she had won the Singer King of that season, the public's perception of her would definitely have reached a higher level.

It's a pity that after participating for a few episodes, she had a conflict with the program team and withdrew directly.

Although the director who had the conflict with her was fired afterwards, and the program team warmly invited her to return.

However, Luo Quan was completely in no mood because of that dog director at the time, so although she reconciled with the program team, she ultimately did not return, only saying that she would come again if there was a chance in the future.

As a result, she didn't wait for the chance, but waited for "I Am a Singer" to end, and since then there have basically been no decent music variety shows in the country.

"The Summer of Bands" was pretty good, but Luo Quan's band is in Japan, and those few have their own jobs and lives, and they are usually together less and apart more. Except for Yun Jingxiao who is still persisting on the path of music, the others have changed careers, and only when they have free time occasionally will they sing a couple of songs together.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Quan doesn't really want to disturb them; everyone is far apart, and chatting from time to time is enough.

Gathering them to participate in "The Summer of Bands," she, a "social idler," of course has no problem, but they have proper jobs; should she ask them to quit their jobs to go crazy with her?

Luo Quan couldn't do such a thing.

So although "The Summer of Bands" has sent her invitations N times, she has politely declined them all.

As for "The Voice of China," this one is even more heavyweight.

Paying to turn around and advance, etc., I won't mention it; it belongs to the rotten things that everyone knows.

Now it is even blatantly interfering with the competition results, and even threatening and harming mentors; it is simply the beast among beasts.

Anyway, the reputation of this program has completely collapsed, and it will only get colder in the future.

Luo Quan didn't even think about going to such a music variety show full of scripts when it was at its hottest, and now it is even more impossible.

As for galas and competitions, she also goes very rarely.

Her performance that night in the Bay Area was quite stunning, but "Thousands of Songs" is not a song with particularly high difficulty, so no one really praised her singing skills.

Instead, it was Shen Zhou who was praised to the sky that night; a song "Big Fish" let all of China know what it means to have a voice kissed by an angel.

In fact, he was already quite popular before this, and what he lacked was a big hit song to increase his topic popularity.

Then the opportunity came; at the Bay Area Gala, among a group of big shots, Shen Zhou stood like a minion, but in the end, he contributed what could be called the most stunning performance of the whole night, becoming famous with one song.

For opportunities like this, only the Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year remains.

Luo Quan plans to spend this year with her family, so she definitely cannot participate.

Unable to produce a stunning performance in the gala with the most traffic, it is destined that Luo Quan cannot imprint the word "singing skills" into the hearts of the public.

But is the situation really like this?

Of course not; it's already 2020, where do you need a Spring Festival Gala to become popular all over the internet?

Sometimes a video shot casually on Douyin can inexplicably become popular after being uploaded.

For example, that "Dinosaur Carrying Wolf," for example, "Love Like Fire," and for example, "Xiucai."

Luo Quan doesn't know what nutrition these things have, but they can just become popular, and they are popular in a mess, with relevant content all over the internet.

Perhaps this is caused by the spirit of entertainment to death in the internet age.

Luo Quan can't imitate it anyway.

But if it is to let Douyin become her own reputation converter through an explosive song, then there is still considerable room for operation.

As for which song to choose specifically, Luo Quan hasn't thought about it yet.

Mainly, she herself doesn't understand what kind of song can become a phenomenal song now.

Dinosaur Carrying Wolf? Love Like Fire?

She really can't do this; just listening to it in her ears makes people feel embarrassed, let alone singing it out.

"Tante" is a good choice, but the overly avant-garde style will probably make her fans look confused, and the general public might not be able to accept that a singer who only writes beautiful melodies would actually come up with such a work.

Without plans to transform, she feels that such a divine song as "Tante" should be suppressed for later.

She needs to change to a song that is good to listen to, has popularity, and can reflect singing skills.

Luo Quan started searching in her brain, but didn't get any good answers for a while.
