Chapter 19: Major News
Seeing Wen Xia didn't make it to the hot search, but Miss Luo Quan did the next day, not on Weibo, but on Twitter's hot search.
There were two hot search news items. The first was that the famous Japanese music critic Ryusuke Onodera gave Miss Luo Quan's record a good review.
In Japan, Ryusuke Onodera is not a popular star, but he is definitely known to everyone in the music circle.
As the most famous and authoritative music critic in Japan, Ryusuke Onodera is famous for his sharp language and harsh vision.
No matter what level of record or single, when it gets to him, the level automatically drops by one grade. A 9-point one can only get 7 points, a 7-point one can only be considered barely passing, and those works that cannot pass are no different from garbage on the side of the road in his eyes.
There are thousands of singers in the Japanese music circle, and more than 3,000 albums or singles are released every year, and the number of works that can get Ryusuke Onodera's praise will not exceed ten.
It is worth mentioning that Ryusuke Onodera is also one of the main judges of the Japan Record Awards. Whoever's work gets his favor means that in the highest-gold-content music award in Japan held at the end of the year, at least you have a nomination!
And Miss Luo Quan became such a singer.
Ryusuke Onodera's evaluation of Miss Luo Quan's three songs this time was completely different from his previous style of liking long-winded sarcasm, appearing short and friendly:
"Lemon": A rare good song. It may sound very healing, but it is actually a song that faces death and expresses the singer's inner pain. The melody is top-notch, and the "Wei" that appears every once in a while makes people feel very magical. It is very worth listening to.
"Sparkle": A love song singing about summer and youth. On that night full of fireworks, is there also a girl/boy by your side who smiles as beautifully as fireworks?
"I Once Thought About Ending It All": The best song in the past ten years. I can't believe this was written by an 18-year-old girl. The lyrics are full of various sad and desperate images at the beginning, just like the heart of someone who is about to commit suicide, but then uses simple and moving words to encourage everyone not to feel desperate about this world. We all still have reasons to continue living!
This is a song worth listening to carefully by all Japanese people. I think it can save and heal countless painful souls.
If Ryusuke Onodera's evaluation of the first two songs was still standard, then the evaluation of the third song was really too high, and it was even hailed as the best song in the past ten years, worth listening to by all Japanese people.
And in fact, the tens of thousands of comments expressing their true feelings under the music review also proved that Ryusuke Onodera was not wrong.
Many people are thanking Miss Luo Quan, thanking her for writing this song, and thanking her for saving them. Although Miss Luo Quan doesn't know how many of them are true and how many are suffering from "Chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome), as long as one is true, it is a merit.
However, even such a hot search that triggered widespread discussion could only rank second on Twitter. The first place was "Miss Luo Quan appeared on TV Tokyo"!
Japan is a strange country. Countless interesting things that go beyond normal people's thinking have happened here, such as foreign bearded tough guys becoming girl idols, and Self-Defense Force captains working as hosts in their spare time. There are many similar events, and they can't be finished even if you talk for a day and a night.
And as a TV station in such a strange country, the famous TV Tokyo can be called a mudslide among peers.
Japan is a disaster-prone country. Earthquakes and tsunamis appear every few days. At this time, major TV stations will interrupt news to remind citizens to pay attention to disaster avoidance.
But TV Tokyo has a personality. No matter how noisy the outside world is, it insists on only three things: animation, food, and shopping programs.
An earthquake in a certain area, it is playing Ultraman; the eldest daughter of the Japanese royal family is engaged, it is teaching everyone how to make pan-fried broad beans; Japan's Olympic bid is successful, the whole country is rejoicing, it is playing underwear sales advertisements.
It is this kind of independent behavior that has made the vast Japanese people develop a habit, that is, no matter what disaster happens, as long as TV Tokyo is still playing animation, it is not serious.
Therefore, many Japanese netizens also jokingly said: If one day TV Tokyo does not play animation, it is probably the end of the world.
So any news or event, as long as it does not appear on TV Tokyo, cannot be considered major news. And Miss Luo Quan appeared on TV Tokyo this morning in the form of a bottom scrolling news flash. The content is: Genius music girl Izumi from the East, personal first record sales exceeded 300,000!
Although this message is unusually short, considering how strange the TV station that plays the message is, this can definitely be called major news. And Miss Luo Quan's interview video yesterday has also been played on other TV stations one after another.
University of Tokyo top student, genius musician, high-appearance strength singer, these tags are destined to make Miss Luo Quan's ability to attract fans terrifyingly high.
Especially in such an era where the internet is extremely developed, anyone and anything only needs an opportunity to become popular across the country in less than half a day, not to mention a big beauty with strength and appearance like Miss Luo Quan.
With attention, there will be topics, and with topics, there will be heat. With heat, the results will naturally go up. In just two days, Miss Luo Quan's three songs rushed into the top ten of the iTunes hot song list, and the ranking of the Oricon Chart is also rising steadily. Looking at this momentum, reaching the top should only be a matter of time.
It is certain that Miss Luo Quan is really popular now, the kind that is popular to the point of turning purple.
"You have to be mentally prepared. Sooner or later, someone will come to black you. Any ugly words can be said. If you don't handle it well, the whole network's praise will become the whole network's black." In the room, Seeing Wen Xia muttered to Miss Luo Quan like an old mother.
As an "old man" who has debuted for nearly two years, her situation at the beginning was about the same as Miss Luo Quan's. After becoming popular, she was also sought after by thousands of people, and the growth rate of fans on various social platforms was as fast as brushing data.
However, it didn't take long for the rhythm of blacking them to come one after another. The composition of these people who brought the rhythm was very complex. Some were water troops invited by peers and competitors, and some were simply professional sprayers who took pleasure in spraying.
In short, all kinds of dirty water were poured on Seeing Wen Xia and the others. Many netizens basically had no ability to distinguish right from wrong, and there were quite a lot of people following the trend, so that for a period of time, many people were blacking Seeing Wen Xia and her group members.
That was the most uncomfortable time for Seeing Wen Xia. She often couldn't sleep because of some accusations and slanders from netizens. Fortunately, the manager often gave them psychological counseling, which allowed them to survive.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!" This is the experience Seeing Wen Xia has summarized in her two years of debut.
In the past two years, she has experienced countless scenes, and her body and mind have been tempered to be invulnerable. She has long since stopped caring about the remarks of the blackers.
Seeing Wen Xia cares more about Miss Luo Quan's mental state. She has never been good at pouring chicken soup for others. She is not sure whether she can give Miss Luo Quan the best help when Miss Luo Quan encounters the same situation and let her survive.
Don't look at Miss Luo Quan laughing so happily now, she might cry when she encounters something later.
Seeing Wen Xia is completely overthinking. Under Miss Luo Quan's weak appearance, there is actually a soul that has experienced many storms. In her previous life, she went out to wander the rivers and lakes when she was a teenager and has been struggling in society for so many years. Would she be afraid of a few sprayers on the internet? It would be about the same if they were holding sprayers in their hands.
Anyway, Miss Luo Quan is not worried at all. Her biggest fun now is browsing various forums, watching how fans blow her in various ways. When she is tired of brushing, she goes to take a look at the Oricon Chart to see what rank her songs are.
Time passed in happy times. Besides browsing forums, Miss Luo Quan also bought many books to enrich herself, while Seeing Wen Xia was typing on the computer from morning to night, checking various materials and writing documents, not knowing what she was doing. Miss Luo Quan asked once, and Seeing Wen Xia just replied perfunctorily: doing a big thing.
Soon, the time for Miss Luo Quan's first stage performance arrived. At 6 o'clock on Friday night, Miki drove to the downstairs of the apartment and picked up Miss Luo Quan, who had already changed her clothes, to TV Asahi in Minato Ward. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
