Chapter 198: A Timeless Musical Movement

PS: Thanks to book friend Cangbai Jiujiu for the tip!

With Zhou Yangwen's connections, a symphony orchestra was found very quickly.

However, it would still take a few days to rehearse properly.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan's ultimate trump card couldn't be played just yet, but fortunately, she had a backup plan.

After all, as a "genius," it's only reasonable that she possesses one more trump card than the average person, right?

In any case, the big talk had already been made, but Miss Luo Quan wasn't worried at all.

The song she chose this time, while lacking the boost of a related film, was still a classic among classics in terms of the song itself.

Moreover, based on her experience with similar songs she had sung before, once this song was released, the film crew might just come looking for her.

With two great timeless classics joining forces, her fame would reach an even higher level.

Without any mental baggage, Miss Luo Quan ate and drank as usual. While there were many voices questioning her online, those who held a neutral stance or defended her still made up the majority.

After all, she was no longer the newcomer who had just debuted; she had already accumulated a considerable reputation, and this wasn't the first time she had performed such a "face-slapping" act.

Most people still believed that Miss Luo Quan could produce quite excellent work, because looking at her career trajectory so far, she was in a period where a singer's talent was most vibrant and inspiration was practically overflowing.

It wouldn't be surprising regardless of what kind of work she wrote. Most geniuses became world-famous at a very young age; Mozart was composing at five, so Miss Luo Quan debuting at eighteen wasn't actually outrageous.

As for abroad, they didn't yet know about the bold claims Miss Luo Quan had made.

Fans were still immersed in a musical feast; four high-quality new songs in two days had allowed the public's hearing, ravaged by vulgar rap, to almost fully recover on the spot.

Four songs, four styles—although they were all about love, they catered to different groups and balanced both depth and breadth.

What was most rare was that Miss Luo Quan was different from the average pop singer.

It is well known that most singers with hit pop songs have mediocre singing skills, whereas Miss Luo Quan was one of the few who could crush 90% of singers with her vocal ability, possessing both strength and popularity.

Such a singer could be said to be a rare existence in today's Western music scene; there were almost none among the new generation, and the youngest were all over twenty-eight!

The four new songs took turns occupying the top of the B-Chart, and digital album sales were approaching 1.7 million. The Universal sales department was being bombarded by calls urging them to release the physical album of "Love" as soon as possible.

On Twitter and YouTube, more and more people were starting to pay attention to this rising singer. Many media outlets also began to dig deep into the social platforms Miss Luo Quan used, hoping to find some unknown past of hers.

However, Miss Luo Quan's internet record could be described as squeaky clean. There were no inappropriate remarks; the tweets she posted were either interacting with fans or promoting her new songs, and her daily life was basically posted on Bilibili.

And from the updates posted on Bilibili, it could be seen that Miss Luo Quan was usually a very elegant, easygoing, and sensible girl. In nearly a hundred vlogs, one never heard her say a single dirty word, and she rarely even used filler words like "damn" or "crap."

Actually, it wasn't that she had no "dark history." Previously, she had many exchanges on Weibo where she argued with passersby, sometimes using very extreme language.

Unfortunately, because she argued too enthusiastically with passersby, Miss Luo Quan's original Weibo account was banned, and all records were cleared, making it almost impossible to dig them up again.

This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

In short, in the eyes of the American media, Miss Luo Quan was basically a model star from whom no dirt could be dug up. Not only was she excellent in character and academics, but she had also made many contributions to charity.

Her romantic history was almost zero, and the only person she had been rumored to be with, the Japanese Imperial Prince, had also clarified on Twitter many times that he and Miss Luo Quan were just friends.

It sounded almost as absurd as a pure white lotus, unstained even when emerging from the mud.

Perhaps the only thing worth complaining about was her extremely sloppy daily style and her outfits that were tacky to the extreme.

As the current "World's Most Beautiful," Miss Luo Quan only used looks prepared by others on rare occasions, leaving a very deep impression on the world, which many called "the place where love begins."

But her actual daily attire was what was seen in the vlogs she posted on Bilibili.

In nearly a hundred vlogs, it was almost invariably a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. On days when the weather was cooler, it was long sleeves, long pants, and cotton slippers. The colors changed, but the style never did.

Fans strongly suspected that she bought a dozen of the same items at once, changing into one a day, and wouldn't repeat an outfit for a week.

Moreover, most of the time she appeared on camera, she didn't wear much makeup, maybe just a bit of foundation at most.

Yet, it is precisely this style, so simple as to be crude, that can become the "walking dream" in the hearts of countless men. It must be said that sometimes, simplicity truly wins more hearts than heavy makeup and elaborate dressing.

Of course, a bigger reason was Miss Luo Quan's own outstanding conditions; even if she wore heavy makeup, the title of "World's Most Beautiful" wouldn't change in the slightest.

It is worth mentioning that after obtaining this title, Miss Luo Quan almost never used it for any hype.

She herself hadn't signed with any management company; apart from album promotion, she handled everything herself.

Including the time when Weibo fans wanted to establish a global fan support club to help her share the burden, she stopped them.

Perhaps the original intention of these fans was good, but in Miss Luo Quan's view, this kind of thing had more disadvantages than advantages.

How many stars on the internet have suffered for no reason because their own fans caused trouble? And this support club was a disaster area.

For Miss Luo Quan, this was like a ticking time bomb, so as soon as she heard about it, she had them disband immediately.

Up to now, most of the tweets and Weibo posts Miss Luo Quan has made have been related to promoting her work. She shares bits and pieces of her life on Bilibili, which is also the region most friendly to Miss Luo Quan.

A few days ago, she just livestreamed her birthday party on Bilibili; her popularity broke ten million, and she received gifts until her hands went soft.

Then, she turned around and donated all the valuable gifts, not keeping a single cent.

These are all recorded on the internet. Foreign media checked a little and found them, and they were released together with many of Miss Luo Quan's past deeds, giving countless netizens curious about Miss Luo Quan a deeper understanding of her.

"A high-quality star with no flaws"—this is probably the most fitting description of Miss Luo Quan at present, and no one would question it.

As for why it is "at present," it is because, given the sales volume of "Love," once the physical album is truly released, she will leap to become a top-tier singing star.

Gao Liang is currently in the United States, and the title of "Little King of Pop" is being shouted louder and louder. When the time comes, why couldn't Miss Luo Quan get the title of "Little Queen of Pop" to wear?

For the siblings to become top-tier stars together would be a beautiful story.

And judging from the current trend, this is a very likely thing to happen.

The two have collaborated twice so far, and both have been successful.

Last year, the song "Baby" helped Gao Liang become popular worldwide and firmly established his foothold in the music scene. This year, the new song they sang together also occupied the top of the B-Chart for a long time.

Originally, it was thought that the Grammy for Best Pop of the Year was already booked, but it was just unexpected that Miss Luo Quan would release new songs.

According to Universal's promotion, the two will still have collaborations on Miss Luo Quan's new album, which is definitely the most anticipated thing for fans of both.

There are six songs left on the album to be released. Maybe one of the two new songs today will be a new song by her and Gao Liang!

However, these expectant fans are likely to be disappointed.

Gao Liang is currently still preparing for the recording of the song. He wants to sing these rather difficult lyrics perfectly, so he hasn't notified Miss Luo Quan to record yet.

After all, not everyone is like Miss Luo Quan, who can sing immediately upon receiving the lyrics and music.

Moreover, the songs to be released today are not two. It is mainly because the songs she wants to release today are too dazzling. If other songs were released with them, Miss Luo Quan is afraid that the light of those songs would be completely covered up.

Producing this song requires a special musical instrument, the origin of which is the hometown of Miss Luo Quan's father—the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, that is, the UK.

But the UK is actually composed of four regions: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, along with the surrounding islands.

The first three are collectively known as Great Britain, which is also the origin of the full name of the UK.

Eric was born in England, while the instrument Miss Luo Quan used for accompaniment came from Ireland. Actually, there are slight differences in the game.

When Miss Luo Quan was recording the song, the music producer who was helping out didn't expect Miss Luo Quan to use such an obscure instrument, which is very rare in the Chinese and even the world pop music scene.

But after the recording was finished, this emotional female producer couldn't help but find herself in tears. From Miss Luo Quan's singing, she heard a magnificent love epic that transcended the secular and even life and death.

This was definitely the best song she had ever produced in her career. Although she only pressed a few keys and clicked the mouse twice, she had truly participated in the production of the music.

She swore on her career that this song was definitely a work that would go down in pop music history. Its future status would be just like its name—immortal. As long as it is released, the only difference between it and a timeless classic is that it isn't old enough!

For Miss Luo Quan, this was another song with a difficulty coefficient of 9.8.

The first half of the song mostly uses gentle, soft tones, which is a great test of the quality of her timbre in the low-pitched range, while the second half is full of high-pitched, resonant long notes, which is also a major challenge for Miss Luo Quan's breath control and chest resonance.

After the song was recorded, Miss Luo Quan was truly glad that she had drawn such an "Iron Lung" specialty back then. It had already helped her overcome too many difficulties. Without this specialty, many of the songs Miss Luo Quan sang would have had their effects greatly diminished.

After the song was recorded, it was still released on both ends simultaneously.

And this time, the response was much slower than before.

After about twenty minutes, Zhou Yangwen was the first to send a message asking: "Did you really write this alone?"

Miss Luo Quan wanted to laugh a little; it seemed her performance this time was a bit too shocking: "Of course it is."

Zhou Yangwen replied immediately: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the emotions contained in this song are too profound. Without considerable life experience, it is very difficult to create such a work.

You have almost never been in a relationship before; being able to write such a song now is truly a bit unbelievable."

Miss Luo Quan explained this: "I've read too many lingering books and watched too many movies, so naturally, I had some insights."

"To have such profound insights before the age of twenty, only you can do it. You are worthy of being a musical genius."

From the text, Miss Luo Quan could also guess how much Zhou Yangwen was sighing in his heart at this moment.

Just like when others praised her for being beautiful, she had already heard the compliment of "musical genius" until her ears were calloused. She just didn't know what the next compliment that would make her ears calloused would be.

Just after chatting with Zhou Yangwen here, Seifert replied over there.

Compared with Zhou Yangwen, Seifert's reply seemed much more unrestrained:

"Oh my God! Miss Luo Quan, you are the pop diva of the new century. To write such a song at only nineteen—in a few hours, the whole world will be shocked by this song of yours.

I only understand now that those words of yours yesterday were not arrogance at all, but sincere, honest truths!"

Miss Luo Quan's tiger body shook, and she replied: "Too cheesy. Just praise me a little, lest I get arrogant."

Seifert replied quickly: "To be able to write such a song, at least in the pop music circle, you can walk sideways. No one would dare to say you are wrong no matter how arrogant you want to be!"

Although Miss Luo Quan knew it would be such a result, when someone truly affirmed her, she still felt a little unreal: "Can I really walk sideways? Just because of one song?"

"My words definitely don't carry weight, and I can't evaluate how excellent this song is. You just need to watch how the media at home and abroad will blow you up tonight!"

Hearing Seifert say this, Miss Luo Quan was actually looking forward to it a little.

Compared with ordinary creators, Miss Luo Quan actually craved recognition from everyone more. These songs achieved huge success in her previous life, but in a different world, whether they would be equally popular remained an unknown.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan was somewhat uneasy every time she released a song. The more excellent the song, the more so.

She was afraid that these timeless classics would be ruined in her hands because of her.

However, from the current point of view, no such situation had occurred yet, and the popularity of some songs even exceeded that of her previous life.

As for this song, Miss Luo Quan didn't know how popular it would become without the binding of a film.

But at least one thing she could be sure of: at least three people had already been conquered by it.

At 9:00 PM Beijing time, the fifth song of Miss Luo Quan's new album was released on time.

The song title was "My Heart Will Go On." Half an hour later, it was trending on both Twitter and Weibo, and its popularity exploded instantly!
