Chapter 227
The title song was soon produced. This mini-album was named 'Past and Future' by Luo Quan. In terms of song elements, there are definitely both nostalgic and trendy elements.
A total of four songs, two songs for each element. In addition, the nostalgic elements are all in both Chinese and Japanese.
What Luo Quan uploaded first were the songs with nostalgic elements, in both Chinese and Japanese.
The Japanese version of this song is titled: 'Gin no Ryu no Se ni Notte' (Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon).
The Chinese version is 'The Initial Dream'.
The Japanese version of this song didn't have much fame in the previous life's China; instead, the latter became a classic among Chinese songs and is also the most familiar inspirational song for many people during their student days.
At sports meets, class meetings, college entrance examination oath-taking rallies, you could see its figure.
For the Chinese version, Luo Quan didn't spend too much ink introducing it when uploading, but she specifically wrote a piece of text for the Japanese version:
"Everyone seeing the Japanese song title, 'Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon', will definitely be very strange.
Who is riding on the back of a silver dragon, and what is a silver dragon?
Actually, Silver Dragon is a bicycle brand in Japan. The price is people-friendly and the quality is good. In many ordinary families in Tokyo, you can see such a bicycle.
My family once had one. In the first few years I arrived in Japan, I rode a Silver Dragon to high school, carrying Chunzi to and from school. Of course, sometimes she also carried me.
It can be said that the Silver Dragon carried many memories of my youth. Of course, I am still in my youth, but it is almost at the tail end.
This is just one aspect. On the other hand, this Silver Dragon is also related to a Japanese TV series called 'Dr. Coto's Clinic'.
It was still in those days when I first arrived in Japan. There was no entertainment at home, only an old-fashioned color TV that was probably older than me. There was only one TV station that could be watched, and from time to time, it would change from color to black and white.
And that summer, what I saw from this only TV station was this TV series.
When Dr. Coto in the TV series went to and from work, he also rode a Silver Dragon bicycle, but the Silver Dragon here does not just refer to the bicycle; it refers more to the scalpel he used when saving lives and healing the wounded.
The reason for writing this song is also to miss my youth, which hasn't passed for long."
It is still a small essay with simple language and sincere feelings. Fans can also understand Luo Quan's past more deeply from these small essays.
Actually, when Luo Quan occasionally livestreamed before, the audience in the barrage would often ask her about her childhood.
Unlike most celebrities, before she debuted, she almost left no traces on the internet, and the elementary and middle schools she attended in Yuzhou had long been demolished. Wanting to check Luo Quan's past was also completely impossible to start.
As for high school, that was a history that was not glorious for Luo Quan's classmates. She and Chunzi were often bullied by those bad girls in the class. Now that Luo Quan is famous, how would those women dare to reveal Luo Quan's past on the internet?
Therefore, Luo Quan's childhood and even student days' experiences are very mysterious to fans, unlike other celebrities who have a relatively clear record from childhood to adulthood.
And when Luo Quan faced the curiosity and inquiries of fans, she almost always avoided talking about it.
Indeed, there is nothing to talk about. The things from elementary and middle school have gradually been forgotten. As for high school, Luo Quan almost never deliberately recalls it.
On the other hand, she herself possesses two memories. Compared with this life, the memories of the previous life are even more unbearable.
Once she recalls, she inevitably falls into emotionality, and if she is not careful, she will say the wrong thing, causing big problems.
Therefore, when Luo Quan livestreams, she basically doesn't talk about her childhood.
However, there is no problem with posting small essays like this. After all, written text can be modified, so check it a few more times for big problems.
After the first song was released, Luo Quan waited ten minutes and released the second song, which was still in both Chinese and Japanese versions.
Chinese version: 'Painted Heart'
Japanese version: 'Hakanasa' (Painted Heart)
Below the song, this time there was no small essay, just a brief introduction:
"Before leaving China, the last Chinese movie I watched was 'Painted Skin', which had been released for many years. At 9:30 in the evening, 'Good Movies by Appointment'.
Perhaps this is not an immortal work famous internationally, but this movie made me understand for the first time what love is, making me remember it vividly to this day.
Friends who haven't seen it, if you are interested, you can go watch this movie."
Two songs, four versions, all in both Chinese and Japanese, but the versions are different.
After the songs were released, the initial popularity was already much higher than when 'Love' was just released.
Part of the reason is that her fame has been established, and the fan base has expanded to a very large extent, and another part of the reason is that these songs are all free.
The free-riders can finally be justified in free-riding.
The Penguin Music new song chart was reshuffled again. The shouting-microphone song that had been raging for many days—'Drunk on Making the Beauty a Pair'—was finally squeezed to fifth place by Luo Quan, and the public's aesthetics returned to normal.
While the praise was overwhelming, there were also many fans asking her to livestream again.
It had been more than half a month since the last Bilibili birthday livestream without meeting fans, and fans missed her very much.
Luo Quan, who had finished releasing songs and had nothing to do, turned on the computer to broadcast a bit.
After shouting in the dynamic, Luo Quan turned on the camera.
As soon as the picture came out, the barrage started to brush:
"Look at what I found!"
"Finally squatted on you, hehehe."
"Finally broadcasted, made me wait for a long time."
Luo Quan was startled: "Do you all live in my livestream room? You came as soon as I turned it on."
Saying that, she yawned. She had also just woken up from a nap, and her spirit was not very good.
In view of the extremely bad influence caused by the "Abyssal Mouth" incident last year, Luo Quan has been quite careful about her image management since then.
Now when she laughs, in most cases, she laughs without showing her teeth.
And as soon as she yawns, she quickly covers her mouth with both hands to avoid becoming expression pack material again because her mouth is opened too wide.
Hearing Luo Quan's yawn, the barrage was full of complaints:
"Damn it, I even pressed the screenshot key!"
"Luo Quan doesn't laugh for us to see; how can it be anyone's fault but yours."
"That expression pack is still spreading everywhere; we all have responsibility."
"I don't want to either, but that picture is too classic, 233333…………"
As soon as this was mentioned, Luo Quan's face turned black: "We can talk about anything, can we not mention this matter?"
Barrage:
"Pure passerby, what's the matter?"
"Luo Quan's Weibo expression pack, historically known as the Abyssal Mouth incident."
"Playing games? My mouth is very 6."
"That was a dark history that couldn't bear to look back on. Facts have proven that as long as you want, the world's number one beauty can also be screenshotted into an ugly photo."
"Actually, I've seen it; it can't be said to be very ugly, it's just that the expression is a bit magical."
"Is it this one? (Sly)"
"It can be said to be very vivid."
……………………
Luo Quan looked at these living treasures in the barrage and was a bit angry and amused: "It's not easy to open a livestream, are you guys so angry at me?
Also, my new song is released, have you brushed some clicks for me?"
"You are already such a big name, and you still want to engage in these fan circle means?"
"Luo Quan, you have changed."
"I went to Weibo to like it for you, and I liked it twice, yo."
"The person upstairs is a talent."
"I have more than you, four times!"
"Can we click an odd number?"
……………………
Luo Quan looked at these increasingly naughty fans and was really a bit dumbfounded.
When Wen Xia interacts with fans, they are all like obedient babies, and whatever she says is what it is. How come when it comes to her, the fans have become like this.
Barrage:
"Luo Quan, Luo Quan, your new song 'Painted Heart' is so good today!"
"There is a cello solo in the middle, is that played by yourself?"
"Are you talking about that cello?" Luo Quan saw this barrage and nodded, saying: "It was indeed played by myself and then recorded.
Actually, not just 'Painted Heart', for most of the musical accompaniment of the songs I released before, I basically produced them myself. If I can use a synthesizer, I use it; if I can't, then I play it myself."
Barrage:
"Piano, cello, violin, guitar, are they all played by you?"
"And the Scottish bagpipes in 'My Heart Will Go On'?"
"Of course." Luo Quan nodded.
"All-rounder!"
"666!"
"Using 'clever hands and heart' is not enough to describe your excellence."
"Can you perform for us?"
Seeing the request in the barrage, Luo Quan asked: "What do you want to see?"
"Dance to otaku dance!"
The barrage was full of this request.
Luo Quan was dumbfounded: "Isn't it playing piano, guitar, cello, violin?"
Barrage:
"Those are not as good-looking as you dancing otaku dance."
"I said perform, I didn't say let you perform playing musical instruments."
Luo Quan was a bit helpless: "Dancing, I really don't know how. If you let me perform karate for you, it would be easier than this."
"Do you know how to do military boxing?"
"The first set of military boxing, lunge and flick the crotch!"
"You're not right. (Sly)"
"I want to see 'The Times Are Calling'~~"
"Military boxing, I don't know how either." Luo Quan spread her hands and smiled, "If you really want to see otaku dance, wait a few days. These days I will find Wen Xia to learn a few tricks, and when it's Children's Day on June 1st, I will do a whole activity for everyone."
Barrage:
"Really treat us as elementary school students?"
"What's the matter, are older people not allowed to celebrate Children's Day?"
"It would be perfect if Wen Xia could be pulled over to dance together by then."
"The orange situation is stable."
……………………
The Bilibili barrage was full of talents. Luo Quan livestreaming was originally at the request of fans, but unexpectedly, she was frequently made to laugh by them.
Perhaps because the time chosen was not very good, it was exactly when many people were taking a nap, so there were not many gifts in the hour Luo Quan livestreamed.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the fans are happy, she doesn't rely on this to eat.
When eating at night, Wen Xia came out of the room, and during the period, she met Luo Quan's eyes many times, seemingly wanting to speak but stopping.
There was thick anticipation in Wen Xia's eyes. Luo Quan probably guessed it, but she pretended not to know anything and just ate her meal by herself.
After eating, when Luo Quan was washing dishes in the kitchen, Wen Xia finally couldn't help but come in and asked: "Luoluo, do you know what day it is tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Luo Quan thought for a while, "May 4th Youth Day."
Wen Xia became loud: "Besides this!"
Luo Quan shook her head: "I don't know, besides this, what else could it be?"
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you!" Wen Xia stomped her feet hard and turned around to go upstairs angrily.
Looking at Wen Xia's back, Luo Quan shook her head and smiled.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Wen Xia, who originally wanted to sleep in, was dragged out of the quilt by Luo Quan and pulled downstairs.
Wen Xia was obviously still angry at Luo Quan, pouting her rosy mouth and muttering: "What are you doing? Can't you let me sleep in early in the morning?"
Luo Quan smiled: "Isn't it your birthday today? How can you keep sleeping in?"
Wen Xia rubbed her sleepy eyes, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a joyful arc.
Putting down her hands, Wen Xia made an arrogant appearance again: "I thought you didn't remember. But you made me angry all night; how do you plan to compensate me?"
Luo Quan's smile was gentle: "I've already prepared a surprise for you. Don't you like clothes? I bought you a lot of clothes, all Chanel."
Wen Xia was curious: "Chanel? Only Chanel?"
"It is indeed only Chanel, but it's not ordinary Chanel." Luo Quan smiled mysteriously, then walked to the entrance and opened the door.
"Happy birthday, Mer!" Outside the door stood a foreigner wearing a pink suit, and behind him was a row of rolling iron racks full of clothes.
At this moment, surprise, joy, and emotion filled her whole heart. She never expected that Luo Quan would prepare such a birthday gift for her.
"Please push it in." Luo Quan said to the foreigner.
"These are the essence of Chanel's spring, summer, autumn, and winter clothing designs from 1998 to 2017, a total of 77 pieces!" The foreigner said to Wen Xia while letting his assistant push the long-dragon-shaped clothes rack into the room.
"This is the classic Coco little black dress; I've been looking for it for a long time!" Wen Xia cheered when she saw the dress on the very top.
This little black dress adorned with a camellia flower is a classic work in Chanel's clothing, the beginning of all legends, and has a very high status in Chanel's history. The remade version debuted in the spring of 2000. There are currently only ten such special custom styles in the world, all in the hands of those collectors. Unexpectedly, it would appear here!
Wen Xia dreamed of wanting this little black dress; unexpectedly, there would really be a day when her dream came true!
And not only this classic little black dress, behind it, there were many other classic works of Chanel.
These gorgeous, beautiful, and dizzying works, she had only seen on TV and in magazines before, but now they actually appeared in front of her alive, and even, they were already her birthday gift!
At this time, Wen Xia didn't know how to express her excitement.
Ps. Thanks to book friends Yun Ping Yun, Ling Xi Bu Shi Lin Xi Ye Bu Shi Long Xi for the book coins, thank you!
