Chapter 152

~11 min read 2,075 words

The Yiyun platform dug its own grave, first offending Penguin Music and having most of its music copyrights taken back, and then deceiving platform users, cutting itself off from the people.

In less than three days, the platform's daily active users dropped by more than half, and it is still continuing to lose users. Wanting to return to the peak is already a pipe dream.

And after losing this best-to-use music platform, listeners can only go back to using Penguin Music.

Although they have to spend money to open a membership every month, at least the songs are quite complete and usable.

And just the day after Yiyun collapsed, Miss Luo Quan reached a cooperation with Penguin Music. All her Japanese songs will be exclusively licensed to Penguin Music, and these songs are all free on Penguin Music, and can be downloaded and listened to without opening a membership.

This news also made a group of fans cheer.

Previously, due to copyright reasons, it was almost impossible to find high-definition resources of Miss Luo Quan's Japanese songs on the domestic internet. Most of them were lossy quality versions recorded from records. They could be listened to, but the experience was really too poor.

And this time, all the songs landing on Penguin Music are lossless high-fidelity quality. Putting on headphones and turning on the sound effects, it's as if Miss Luo Quan is singing in your ear, not to mention how cool it is.

This move by Miss Luo Quan can be considered as helping Penguin Music attract a wave of traffic. As her works become more and more numerous in the future, the users who come because of her will also become more and more numerous.

The dispute caused by genuine and pirated products this time has subsided. Cao Fan's two "Lemons" have all been taken off the shelves, and he was scolded on Weibo until he closed the comments.

And Zheng Li and the Yiyun platform lost both users and character this time. The APP rating and download volume dropped sharply. The loss was far greater than the benefits brought by the traffic attracted by Cao Fan's plagiarism. It can be said that they didn't eat the chicken and instead lost the rice.

And besides Penguin Music and Hao Shuai Gou Music, Miss Luo Quan may be the biggest winner.

This plagiarism storm was actually quite big, trending two or three times. Miss Luo Quan, whose reputation on Weibo was not particularly good before, has now successfully washed herself clean, and also established a straightforward persona of "spraying heaven, spraying earth, and spraying air," attracting a wave of fans.

In fact, Miss Luo Quan has always been like this, but before she was spraying passersby, standing on the opposite side of the people, so she was always criticized.

And this time she confronted capital head-on, naturally receiving the favor of the people. It can only be said that the butt determines the head. If Miss Luo Quan can continue to be so unafraid of power in the future, and confront these so-called managers and supervisors on Weibo, she might be able to attract more fans.

But Miss Luo Quan is not such a boring person. If these people hadn't provoked her themselves, would she have been crazy to confront these people every day?

Originally, Miss Luo Quan thought the days ahead would be calmer, but she didn't expect that just as the domestic dispute ended, problems arose in Japan again.

It's not that anyone plagiarized her songs. Japan is not like China; the protection of copyright here is quite strict. Anyone who dares to plagiarize will go to jail.

It's not that anyone is scolding her on the internet either. Miss Luo Quan now has a very high status in Japan, and the national favorability is as high as 98%. The title of "Goddess" is not something anyone can afford.

But if it were really the above two situations, she wouldn't have such a headache as she does now.

As the charity concert is about to be held, the concert program has also been announced. The finale is of course "Don't Give Up," sung by Miss Luo Quan and Senior Jinggong Yazu together.

This song has been selected as the official cheering song for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan. From old people in their seventies or eighties to children in their four or five years, everyone can sing this song, and it is even hailed as Japan's second national anthem on the internet.

It is of course beyond reproach for Miss Luo Quan to sing this song as the finale, and there is also no problem with the promotional poster for the concert being a photo of her and Senior Jinggong Yazu together.

In the photo, she is standing in a row with Senior Jinggong Yazu, the two are separated by about two fists' distance, and Miss Luo Quan's expression is also a professional fake smile.

As a result, I don't know which killer on the internet actually said that the two inexplicably have a husband-and-wife look, and then a group of young people reached a climax, cheering and wanting to pair her and Senior Jinggong Yazu as a CP.

Various so-called "sweet" photos and videos of her and Senior Jinggong Yazu began to circulate on Niico, and the click-through rate was ridiculously high.

If Senior Jinggong Yazu hadn't called her to clarify immediately, Miss Luo Quan even suspected that this was the rhythm he had people bring up.

The reason she didn't suspect it was because Senior Jinggong Yazu said that his father knew about this matter, and the consequences were somewhat serious. Many people in the family were blaming him for his improper behavior, making the whole internet discuss the Crown Prince's love life, and the concert schedule was almost canceled.

Hearing Senior Jinggong Yazu was so miserable, Miss Luo Quan was embarrassed to suspect him again.

Originally, she thought these were just impromptu works of otaku and otaku girls when they were bored, and the popularity would drop by itself after a while.

But I don't know if it's because the popularity of the two in Japan is too high, after the CP group was formed, the popularity increased day by day, gradually spreading from Niico to the whole internet, and finally some gossip magazines even began to report it.

"The story that must be told between the Japanese Crown Prince and the Goddess Izumi."

"That night, the true feelings of His Highness Senior Jinggong."

"A match made in heaven! Japan may have the most beautiful mixed-race child!"

With such ridiculously exaggerated headlines, even passersby who don't like gossip would probably be full of curiosity and go in to see.

And the content of these gossip magazines is also anything they dare to make up. Clearly, there is no such thing, but they managed to make it feel like a 52-episode large-scale serial drama.

After reading these texts, the reader seems to have finished watching a Tokyo Love Story, which is really sorrowful and full of imagination.

Under the joint promotion of netizens and these unscrupulous magazines, seeing that Miss Luo Quan is about to become a miserable woman like Akana Rika who loves but cannot get and regrets for life, she hurriedly clarified on Twitter:

"Recently, many netizens have synthesized so-called CP pictures and videos of me and Senior Senior Jinggong, which has caused many gossip magazines to write articles. I hope these gossip magazines can immediately take down these false stories and not mislead the public.

In addition, I solemnly clarify here that Senior Senior Jinggong and I are just ordinary friends. Please don't imagine things on your own, so as not to cause more misunderstandings!"

Senior Jinggong Yazu also immediately followed up with a tweet:

"I hope everyone can stop fantasizing. Miss Luo Quan and I have no relationship other than friends. Everyone doing this will only make our relationship awkward. I also hope that those gossip magazines can respect Miss Luo Quan and me and not continue to make up stories."

Two statements made the situation clear, but the CP party that had been looking forward to it for a long time would not give up easily at this time. They just restrained a little, but the videos of Miss Luo Quan and Senior Jinggong Yazu on Niico were still there, and the click-through rate was still increasing.

As for those unscrupulous magazines, they deleted the relevant articles. They were originally making a quick buck by taking advantage of the popularity. Now that the main parties have spoken, they naturally responded immediately, otherwise they would be sued.

Originally, Senior Jinggong Yazu thought that after such a fuss, the relationship between him and Miss Luo Quan, which had just eased, would become like strangers again. As a result, when they met the next day, she was actually like a person who had nothing to do, and she was smiling when she greeted him.

This made Senior Jinggong Yazu feel relieved. The two waved their hands with a smile and then brushed past each other.

Senior Jinggong Yazu was going to the library, and Miss Luo Quan was going to the club activity room.

"Why are you gathered in a group inside?" Miss Luo Quan walked into the activity room and saw everyone gathered together looking at something, so she asked curiously.

"This school year is about to end, and the department has given an exchange student plan. Are you interested?" Everyone moved aside, revealing a notice on the table.

"What exchange student plan?" Miss Luo Quan looked over.

Yun Yun Jingxiao explained: "This time, the University of Tokyo and many universities in China have carried out exchange student cooperation, sending students to each other to study."

Kamiya Suzune added: "It is said that the conditions given by China are very generous. Not only are there scholarships, but they will also be equipped with study partners to help you adapt to local life and teach you Chinese."

"Teach me Chinese?" Miss Luo Quan's expression looked a bit strange.

Kamiya Suzune explained: "It's not helping you, it's helping these foreign exchange students. Not only the University of Tokyo, but many European and American universities seem to have received similar invitations."

"Sounds okay, is this considered moving towards internationalization?" Miss Luo Quan chuckled, but felt a bit disdainful in her heart.

Making it so fancy, with scholarships and study partners, does it help improve the school's teaching quality and international reputation?

It's just formalism. Will top students from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT travel across the ocean to be exchange students here? You can think with your butt and know what kind of goods will come here. It would be better to use that money to buy more experimental equipment for your own students.

"So do you want to go?" Miss Luo Quan asked.

Yun Yun Jingxiao shook her head: "No, the University of Tokyo is the number one university in Asia, why go to other schools?"

"I haven't even learned my own knowledge clearly, so don't go to other places to delay it." An Shi You was also not interested.

Kamiya Suzune and Miyano Natsuko were quite interested, but they were not attracted by Chinese universities, they just simply wanted to go to learn Chinese traditional culture and then visit the mountains and rivers.

Miss Luo Quan asked around, and among the twenty or so people in the Philharmonic Society, basically few wanted to study abroad seriously. If they really wanted to go further, American Ivy League schools were definitely the best choice.

To be honest, Miss Luo Quan actually had no intention of returning to China as an exchange student. Her mother Luo Ni took Miss Luo Quan abroad, besides looking for Eric, on the other hand, she also wanted Miss Luo Quan to drink some foreign ink. After all, returned university students are now more popular than many domestic key university graduates, even if these returnees have no real talent or learning at all.

And if Miss Luo Quan successfully graduates from the University of Tokyo, not to mention crushing all domestic universities, at least in terms of status, she is on an equal footing with domestic top institutions like Tsinghua and Peking University.

But for some reason, Miss Luo Quan still put away the plan notice by mistake.

Maybe she will change her mind in the future?
