Chapter 204: Time to Say Goodbye

PS: Thanks to book friend 20181219062306194 for the tip!

Everywhere you look, there are magnificent decorations. Although this concert hall is not large, because it was built for filming, a lot of thought was put into the decoration, trying to make the pictures that the camera can capture leave a deep impression on people.

However, today, what can leave the deepest impression on people is definitely not the decoration in the concert hall, but the angel who fell into the world standing on the stage.

"Quan-chan is so beautiful today." Junko was the first to discover Miss Luo Quan. In fact, the moment she entered the concert hall, she saw Miss Luo Quan on the stage, and then she couldn't help but let out this exclamation.

Other trainees also said excitedly:

"There is also a performance group, so formal."

"Teacher Miss Luo Quan's outfit is too beautiful, even I, a girl, am moved."

"When can I stand on the stage like that? So envious."

"That blonde hair is too eye-catching. I must dye it in the future!"

"Find a seat and sit down." Jin Zihao reminded everyone in a low voice, and the trainees quickly began to find their seats.

Actually, it wasn't considered finding. Although no one said it, the trainees with lower rankings sat in the back by themselves, and those in Class A and Class B naturally sat in the front.

The first row was of course left for the mentors. Wen Xia and Gao Liang were in the back, facing Miss Luo Quan.

Before singing, Wen Xia waved at Miss Luo Quan, and Miss Luo Quan smiled in response.

Soon, several cameramen walked in carrying cameras. A microphone was placed on the stage floor, and in front of Miss Luo Quan was nothing.

In such a professional concert hall, no amplification equipment is needed. The singer's voice can flow into the listener's ears with almost no loss, ensuring the most original appearance of the sound quality to the greatest extent.

As for the microphone on the stage floor, it was for sound collection. The reason it was placed so far away was that she was afraid that the high pitch would be too high and affect the sound quality.

When everyone was seated, the staff was in place and signaled to Miss Luo Quan that everything was OK, she turned her head to look at Song Ling beside her.

Now Song Ling has changed into a suit that is barely decent. The reason why it is barely decent is because the belly on his stomach is quite obvious, and it becomes particularly prominent under the tight binding of the slim shirt.

When he wore it out today, he was also teased a lot, and he was also embarrassed.

But now, everyone is serious, holding their musical instruments, and Song Ling is even more solemn, lightly pinching his conducting staff, waiting for Miss Luo Quan's signal.

After seeing the OK gesture made by Miss Luo Quan, he raised his two hands.

Everyone's body tightened at this moment. Everyone knew that this performance was about to begin.

Miss Luo Quan held her hands together in front of her chest, with a smile on her face, looking straight ahead.

Song Ling slashed down with his right hand, and the sound of the violin sounded instantly, accompanied by the beating of the timpani, the rhythm was light and gentle.

Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth, and her singing voice, which was more beautiful than the piano sound, immediately immersed everyone in the world of music, intoxicated with her gentleness and jumping with her passion.

Under Song Ling's conducting, the performance group was a perfect match for Miss Luo Quan's performance. Although they had experienced less than five rehearsals, the effect was almost perfect.

Song Ling's excessive movements when conducting before looked full of joy, but now it was another look, so passionate and infectious.

During this period, the camera lens also gave him shots more than once. On the one hand, because he was too eye-catching, on the other hand, in videos with limited perspectives, shots of other performers besides Miss Luo Quan were also needed to make the audience feel more immersive.

Of course, besides those on stage, the teachers and trainees off stage were also not left behind. The expressions of everyone listening to the fascination were also faithfully recorded by the camera.

Like all artistic works, the climax of this song was so exciting.

Whether it was the ensemble of the performance group or the super-strong high pitch of Miss Luo Quan that almost pierced the ceiling of the concert hall at the end, all shocked every audience member in the concert hall.

Miss Luo Quan finished singing, but the singing voice was still echoing in the concert hall and the audience's minds.

I don't know how long it took, the first applause "Pa—Pa—Pa" sounded.

Everyone woke up like a dream at this time, using all their strength to clap their two palms. The delicate palms of the girls were slapped red after a few times, but they didn't notice it at all.

Miss Luo Quan bowed to everyone on the stage, and the recording of the song basically ended here.

However, the camera of the "Produce Girls' Generation" program team didn't turn off.

It was hard to come to a concert hall once. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to leave after listening to one song?

Under the booing of the trainees, several teachers were also "forced" to show a hand to everyone on the stage.

These high-quality behind-the-scenes footage that can bring popularity to the show in a few days, and even cutting them into the official show is not impossible.

On the stage, most of the mentors were very strict, and the words they said sometimes hit the trainees' confidence, but in private, the trainees found that the mentors were actually no different from them.

Except for Ella, the oldest Zhao Yining was only twenty-three this year, and the youngest Gao Liang was only eighteen. They were younger than many trainees.

Similar in age, naturally there were many common topics, and the atmosphere was very harmonious when playing.

However, there was a difference in status between mentors and trainees after all. After a short play, they had to return to reality.

As soon as the "after-class break" time arrived, everyone returned to the dormitory again. At this moment, they were still "Produce Girls' Generation" trainees with an uncertain future.

And Miss Luo Quan was waiting to enjoy the joy of harvest.

After the song was recorded, she personally carried out the post-production. There were basically no too many problems. After a slight modification, she saved and sent it.

The editing of the video required a certain amount of time, so the song was not released immediately. Penguin Music intended to release the song and video together.

After about two hours, Miss Luo Quan received the news that the editing was completed, and asked Miss Luo Quan if she had anything to say on Weibo first, and let her know in advance so she could think about it carefully.

Miss Luo Quan really thought about it carefully.

This week was a week of her soaring popularity. The album "Love" achieved huge success at home and abroad. Magazines like "Rolling Stone" and "Time" also noticed her.

Her popularity in the system also grew to the platinum-level "Little Famous (Worldwide)," and the products in the mall were unlocked one after another, but most of them she couldn't use.

Through continuous upgrades, the system gave some props, and she hadn't had time to open them.

Main task: have an outstanding performance in three movies with a box office of over 1 billion. She currently only counts as having completed half.

If she wants to complete it all, she doesn't know how long it will take.

And in less than half a year, she will go to Shangyi to take vocal music classes. New environment, new classmates, what will she encounter? Miss Luo Quan hasn't even thought about it yet.

Suddenly, she found that she came to this world, from the beginning just wanting to have a full meal and meat for every meal, to the current level.

From the beginning, she never thought she could become a world-famous female star.

If it weren't for the system's whip, she might still be muddling along in Tokyo University, or maybe be a game anchor.

It's not that she regrets walking to this step. On the contrary, she is still quite happy because she has gained the fame and love that many people dream of, but this is different from the happiness she wanted at the beginning.

The happiness she once dreamed of was in a room with air conditioning, with a high-end computer next to the bed, a refrigerator full of endless cola, ordering takeout when hungry, rice bowls, burgers, eating whatever she wanted.

And now, such a life definitely can no longer be possessed. For the sake of this world's most beautiful skin, she forced herself to develop healthy living habits, such as not staying up late, not eating junk food, and even not daring to eat fat.

In order to protect her voice, various drinks haven't been touched for a long time.

As for those computer games, she now opens the computer, except for making songs, she sends the produced songs to Zhou Yangwen or Seifert. Basically, there are only these two uses.

It sounds very self-disciplined, but such self-discipline makes too much of her happiness disappear.

Perhaps this is the price of fame, or this is the price of growth.

Thinking carefully, only the mobile phone can bring her some happiness as before.

Thoughts flew for a long time. In the end, Miss Luo Quan didn't post any long-winded articles to describe her mental journey of writing songs as before. Only this time, she wanted to end it easily.

"Time to say goodbye"

This was Miss Luo Quan's last Weibo tonight, and also the last Twitter and Bilibili update tonight.

Not long after Weibo was posted, Miss Luo Quan's last song was also launched, and the MV of her live performance was also launched simultaneously.

Before, Miss Luo Quan's songs reached the first place on the trending search, but most of them only had the "Hot" label.

Only on the first day of the release of "My Heart Will Go On," the label reached "Boiling," and this time, in less than half an hour, the trending search "Miss Luo Quan's last song of the album" had the "Explosive" label.

This label is not something that every trending search can have. Only major events that the whole country pays attention to, or super headlines that shake the entertainment circle, will have the "Explosive" label.

And once it has the "Explosive" label, it means that at this moment, countless people are searching for news related to Miss Luo Quan on Weibo.

Undoubtedly, Miss Luo Quan's last song "Time to Say Goodbye," after being put on the shelves, soon ushered in praise more surging than a tsunami.

The first hot comment on the relevant question on Zhihu was the number one Luo-blower—Qieting Fengyin, who evaluated it like this:

"This is an extremely excellent work that will be praised by anyone, whether they have the ability to appreciate music or not.

Although its label is still pop song, in the eyes of most people, it has actually broken away from the category of ordinary pop music and ascended to art.

Don't look at pop music as always being called art, but this is actually a general term. True art needs to have a certain humanistic connotation and value.

Most pop music is just the interweaving and repetition of a few notes, and then matched with a set of lyrics that don't know what they are talking about.

Calling such things art is a complete shame for all art creators.

And Miss Luo Quan's song is definitely the one with the highest artistic value among all those with the pop music label. Whether it is singing, lyrics, arrangement, or even the ensemble of the performance group, it can give people a sense of symphony.

Miss Luo Quan boldly used opera singing techniques, making the pleasant melody have a unique flavor. Her voice conditions are no worse than those world-class opera singers. Given time, she will definitely be the most shining star in the singing world in the future!"

This time, except for Qieting Fengyin, everyone on Zhihu was praising Miss Luo Quan, and no one dared to mention any "slump law" anymore.

"The name of this song is 'Time to Say Goodbye.' The Chinese translation is 'Farewell Moment.' What is interesting is that the whole song only has this one English lyric, and the others are all Italian.

First of all, Miss Luo Quan's Italian is the best I have ever heard among Chinese people. I asked one of my Italian friends, and he said this is the most authentic Italian Tuscany accent.

Some people might not know where that is. Hundreds of years ago, it was also called Florence, the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, the art capital of Europe, the birthplace of the Renaissance movement, and also the birthplace of opera!

After my Italian friend finished listening to this song, he always thought it was the work of a domestic opera singer, and also said that this must be a great work that will shock the world, and even showed off to me, meaning that we Italians have singers of this level, isn't it powerful.

Until now, he still doesn't know that this song was created and sung by a nineteen-year-old Chinese girl.

Miss Luo Quan is really a girl favored by God. Everything she shows us is so perfect—creation, singing voice, appearance, figure, and even accent. You can't find any faults in her.

The feeling the whole song gives me is only one, and that is perfect and flawless!

The only regret is that the place where she sang this time was too small, and the orchestra that performed was also too small, which couldn't give me that kind of shock to the soul. This kind of music must be matched with a large performance group to achieve the best effect.

However, I believe that after this song is released, it will soon attract the attention of the Western music world. This is a work that as long as you are not deaf, you will definitely praise and recognize.

Maybe, the Golden Hall in Vienna will take the initiative to send an invitation to Miss Luo Quan, asking her to perform there.

As the supreme hall of musicians, ordinary people go there to gild themselves, and Miss Luo Quan goes there—I dare not say it is adding luster to the Golden Hall, but adding luster to each other is definitely no problem.

In addition, there is no controversy about the Grammy this year, right? If any movie takes this song as the ending song or interlude, the Oscar for Best Song is not impossible to think about!" ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
