Chapter 224

The filming of *Happy Camp* went quite smoothly. Don't let Director Wu Jin's serious and earnest demeanor while filming fool you; he is actually quite humorous in real life and often comes out with golden quotes on stage.

Luo Quan was still a bit reserved; despite having a personality on the internet that would roast anyone and everyone, she appeared quite serious as soon as she got on stage.

Those who didn't know might think she had some "goddess baggage," but in fact, that was absolutely not the case; she just simply didn't like to act silly on stage.

Fortunately, her "persona" had never been that of a joke-teller or a comedian, so there was no problem with calling her a goddess.

Although she wouldn't tell jokes herself, fortunately, she was led by several experienced hosts, so the show's effect was not lacking at all, and the punchlines in this episode were quite dense.

In addition, Teacher He Qiong also cleverly dug out another side of Luo Quan's life, allowing fans who like her to have a more three-dimensional and full understanding of her image.

It is foreseeable that the number of views and ratings for this episode will definitely not be low, but Luo Quan probably won't have time to watch it.

On the morning of the second day, because she had to attend the Japan Record Awards ceremony, she boarded a plane to Japan early.

Originally, she had planned to attend this awards ceremony via an online connection.

But after repeated invitations from the organizers, Luo Quan really couldn't decline, so she decided to attend in person.

Soon, the awards organizers also revealed this news to the public, and then people were in an uproar.

After leaving for several months, the national goddess Luo Quan finally returned to Japan. Even if she only stayed for one day, it was a cause for celebration for the fans who loved her.

This showed that she hadn't forgotten them in Japan!

The Japanese public rarely goes to the airport to pick up stars, but this time was clearly an exception. Starting at six in the morning, a large group of fans gathered at Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports just to wait for Luo Quan.

Fortunately, Luo Quan had always had the habit of wearing sunglasses, and this time she was dressed quite modestly when returning to Tokyo. Walking through the crowded crowd, no fans recognized her at all.

It wasn't until she arrived at the venue of the Record Awards and saw the relevant news on Twitter that she learned about this.

When she came out earlier, she felt that there were a few too many people at the airport today, but it turned out they were all there to pick her up, and they hadn't left even now.

For the sake of airport order, Luo Quan immediately tweeted, calling on fans not to continue waiting, as she had already arrived at the awards venue.

Fans who saw this tweet were suddenly a little disappointed because they had missed the chance to meet the goddess, which might have been their only opportunity.

Another person who missed out was Jinggong Ya Zuo. With the thought that they hadn't seen each other for a long time as old friends and he missed her very much, he also wanted to come and join in the fun.

Actually, he just wanted to see Luo Quan, but unfortunately, he didn't get to.

But it could also be considered a good thing; if you can't see her, you have fewer fantasies.

Originally, he had almost buried the previous events in the deepest part of his heart over the past few months, but as soon as he learned the news that Luo Quan was about to return to Japan, all the memories surged out uncontrollably again.

Jinggong Ya Zuo knew that he was really being weak, but there was no other way; perhaps she hadn't been gone long enough, and he needed more time to forget.

Luo Quan, who arrived at the Record Awards venue, walked around and met a short, sturdy middle-aged man.

"Hello, Luo-sang, I am the person in charge of TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System, the co-organizer), and also the person in charge of this year's Japan Record Awards, Yamamoto Keita."

"Hello, Mr. Yamamoto." Luo Quan nodded in greeting.

Yamamoto smiled: "It's really great that you could come to the scene in person this time. The judges and the audience are actually very much looking forward to you."

"I am also very grateful to the organizers for inviting me. May I ask, how many awards can I win this time?" Luo Quan looked curious.

Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I certainly can't reveal the specific number now, but it definitely won't be few. The achievements you established last year are obvious to the entire Japanese music industry. You are now the face of the Japanese pop music scene."

Luo Quan was in a great mood: "You're too kind, you're too kind."

Yamamoto Keita nodded: "The Record Awards won't start broadcasting for another few hours. You can make yourself at home during this time. I have things to do over there, so I won't chat anymore."

After parting ways with Yamamoto Keita, Luo Quan, having nothing to do, detoured to the headquarters of Sony Music.

Originally, she wanted to go to the University of Tokyo to see the friends from the Lovemusic band, but thinking that she might run into Senior Jinggong, she dismissed the idea after much consideration.

Anyway, the Lovemusic band members would also be at the scene tonight for the Record Awards, so it wouldn't be too late to chat then.

When she arrived at the Sony Music headquarters, Director Ishimura was in a meeting again. Miki had long since stopped being an agent and had been promoted to manager of the Human Resources Department, which could be considered entering the management level.

When Director Ishimura came out, he happened to run into Luo Quan, who was wandering around the floor.

Director Ishimura's appearance was still as capable as ever, and his energy was still as full as ever.

Upon seeing Luo Quan, he also showed a smile: "You've finally returned. The people of all Japan have missed you very much."

Luo Quan smiled: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Director Ishimura nodded: "Really, every major forum in the country has posts asking for your return every day. Your fans have always been very active."

Hearing this, Luo Quan sighed: "It's a pity that I have to leave tonight after coming back this time."

Director Ishimura was surprised: "So urgent? You should at least stay for one night."

Luo Quan shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that if I stay too long, I won't be able to leave by then."

"That's true." Director Ishimura expressed understanding of Luo Quan's decision. After all, the enthusiasm of Japanese fans is famous throughout Asia, and it's possible that they might really block Luo Quan and not let her leave.

After chatting with Director Ishimura for a while, Luo Quan went to see Miki, and after catching up, she left Sony Music.

During this time, Director Ishimura also asked Luo Quan if she had any plans to produce a Japanese album.

After asking this question, Director Ishimura himself felt a bit embarrassed, as Luo Quan had just released an English album, and one should at least let her rest for a while.

Actually, producing songs is not a difficult task for Luo Quan; a song only takes about an hour to produce, two hours at most.

But if they are released too frequently, the songs might not be as valuable.

So Luo Quan planned to slow down for a while.

However, seeing the fans so frantically urging her to release new Japanese songs, Luo Quan herself didn't know how long she could slow down.

She had always been a person with a soft heart.

After shopping in the mall for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Luo Quan returned to the Record Awards venue.

She never expected that after the fans didn't catch her at the airport, they had actually come to the Record Awards venue.

The entrance to the entire building was blocked by fans, and a large number of police officers had already set up barricades to maintain order at the scene.

But even so, there was no path through the crowded crowd.

After getting out of the car, Luo Quan hid in a corner and called Yamamoto Keita.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yamamoto? I'm outside the building now. There are too many fans here, and I can't get in." Luo Quan lowered her voice, being very careful.

Yamamoto Keita sounded a bit anxious too: "Luo-sang, don't worry yet. We are thinking of a way here. We will contact you once we think of a solution."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait outside."

Less than ten minutes after hanging up, Yamamoto Keita called back.

A solution had been found: let Luo Quan walk in openly and let all the fans see her.

Hearing this, Luo Quan wondered if she had misheard. Walk in openly?

With so many fans, if she really appeared, wouldn't she be squeezed into meat paste?

Fortunately, Yamamoto Keita had corresponding measures. Before Luo Quan appeared, he would arrange for people to go to the scene to notify the fans that she was about to arrive, and ask them to clear a path in advance and maintain order.

Luo Quan thought about it carefully, and this seemed to be the only way.

If she wore sunglasses and snuck in, everything would be fine if she wasn't discovered, but if she were discovered, the biggest stampede in Japan since the new century would probably happen today.

With no other choice, Luo Quan agreed to this plan.

Soon, the loudspeakers outside the TV station building began to sound:

"Attention, all fans of Luo Quan!"

The sound of the loudspeaker was very loud, and everyone looked up.

"Luo Quan is about to arrive at the scene!"

After hearing this, the fans suddenly became restless.

"Ah!!!"

"The goddess is finally here!"

"Where? Where!"

Through the surveillance, Yamamoto Keita saw the state of the fans outside the building and said loudly: "Please everyone, stay calm for a moment!

Because there are too many fans here today, it has already exceeded the limit of what the police can maintain. If everyone is too excited, it will be very easy for accidents to happen, so I beg everyone to stay rational and not be overly excited."

Hearing this, Luo Quan's fans were not happy:

"What is this? How can you expect us to be rational in this situation?"

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for the goddess to return?"

"That's Sister Quan Shui, Sister Quan Shui!"

Obviously, the fans didn't listen to the advice at all.

However, Yamamoto Keita still had a countermeasure: "If everyone continues to be this excited, when Luo Quan appears later, everyone at the scene will definitely be very excited and rush toward her. When the crowd is out of control, it is very likely to hurt Luo Quan and yourselves.

Therefore, for everyone's safety, we would rather not let Luo Quan appear than let the above situation happen!"

To be honest, the fans didn't expect this "pulling the firewood from under the cauldron" tactic.

It can only be said that the person who came up with this plan was ruthless and bold enough, and not afraid of it backfiring, with fans rushing directly into the building to have a face-to-face encounter with him.

Fortunately, everyone's focus today was on Luo Quan, and Yamamoto Keita's words did indeed make sense.

The fans didn't care about their own safety, but Luo Quan's safety was the top priority. If any accident happened upon her return this time, it would be a sin.

So after hearing these words, the fans chose to compromise and gradually quieted down.

"Yoshi." Yamamoto Keita breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then now, please fans outside the building entrance, slowly clear a path. This will be the only path for Luo Quan to enter. Please be sure to stay calm later!"

Under Yamamoto Keita's command, the police officers quickly bypassed the fans who were gradually separating and set up barricades.

From inside the building, a group of bodyguards in black also rushed out and ran along the passage toward the distance.

The fans were all on their tiptoes, stretching their necks, looking in the direction where the bodyguards disappeared.

After about tens of seconds, a figure that countless fans had been dreaming of appeared in their field of vision.

Everyone didn't expect that the goddess would be so close to them, just separated by a corner.

"Sister Quan Shui!"

"Goddess!"

"I love you!"

The fans cheered and jumped at the top of their lungs, but their feet were rooted to the spot as if they had grown roots, not moving an inch.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Luo Quan gradually walked into the path cleared for her by the fans. Some fans on the outer edge even smelled the intoxicating fragrance as Luo Quan walked by.

Seeing the fans looking at her with earnest expectations and heartfelt joy on their faces, Luo Quan was very moved. She felt she should say something.

Yamamoto Keita had already anticipated this. One of the bodyguards handed the microphone to Luo Quan and asked: "Do you need this?"

Luo Quan was overjoyed: "Thank you, I was just about to ask."

Taking the microphone, Luo Quan stopped and tapped it.

A popping sound came from the broadcast on the street lamp, proving there was no problem.

Luo Quan looked at the fans and said softly: "Everyone... long time no see."

"I missed you so much!"

"You're finally back!"

Hearing Luo Quan's greeting, some fans even shed tears.

Luo Quan smiled: "Actually, I missed you all too. Although I can't stay long this time, the reason I came back is actually because of you."

"As expected!"

"I knew you still cared about us."

Luo Quan continued: "Originally, having just released a new album, I wanted to rest for a while, but seeing you all today, I still couldn't help but want to sing for you. This must be what you are looking forward to most, right?"

The fans were shocked when they heard this:

"Really?"

"Are you not joking?"

Because they were too surprised, the fans were asking questions at first, as if they couldn't believe that Luo Quan would agree to continue releasing new songs so easily.

Feeling that the response seemed a bit flat, Luo Quan pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "What is this? Is this your attitude? You don't seem very happy."

"How could that be!"

"Sister Quan Shui Saiko!"

"Banzai!"

The fans used all their strength to prove to Luo Quan the joy in their hearts at this moment.

Luo Quan put her left hand to her ear and said: "I can't hear you. You want to hear new songs with such a small voice? Tell me again, do you really want to?"

"Yes!"

Without any organization, the fans let out a uniform roar.
