Chapter 232: Popular Again?

"Next, it's the moment to witness the miracle. Everyone, take paper towels and don't let the saliva flow out." Miss Luo Quan took off the lid bowl, revealing the wine-red Dongpo Pork that was as square as a cube.

The heat surged in front of the lens, and the Dongpo Pork was crystal clear and oily.

At the same time, a BGM with quite momentum sounded outside the picture, setting off this plate of Dongpo Pork as if it was about to bloom with golden light at any time.

Barrage:

"This appearance, it's absolute!"

"This BGM is too appropriate, suddenly there is a feeling of wanting to cry."

"The song is good, the meat is also good, but I don't know how it tastes."

"Seems like taking a bite."

The dish is ready, and the next step is naturally to fit the theme.

Miss Luo Quan moved a rice cooker, in which a pot of fragrant rice had been steamed, and Seeing Wen Xia, who had been observing on the edge for a long time, finally appeared on the camera, swallowing saliva while taking the rice served by Miss Luo Quan.

"Finally ready, starving me." Seeing Wen Xia couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Before chewing twice, she said loudly: "Delicious!"

"Down to rice, right." Miss Luo Quan smiled and picked up a piece for herself. The taste was moderate, but she preferred a heavier taste. She could put more spices next time.

The lens turned, and a large bowl of braised pork hit the bottom. Seeing Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan lay on the chairs, holding their bellies, their eyes blurred.

"Uh... haven't eaten so full for a long time, and it's such a fat braised pork, I'm going to get fat." Seeing Wen Xia said with a worried face.

Miss Luo Quan smiled weakly: "Why didn't you have this awareness when you stuffed meat into your mouth just now?"

"Blame you!" Seeing Wen Xia glanced at Miss Luo Quan with a reproach.

The barrage brushed up:

"Girls' appetite is still small. Just such a bowl is not enough for me to eat for a meal."

"Girls who love braised pork will not be too thin."

"It's really down to rice. I ate a bowl of rice just by looking at the meat!"

"Do you only look at that plate of meat? I only saw four words, which is 'show color can eat'."

"People are better looking than meat."

"Ask for the BGM when the lid is opened. I used four or five APPs to listen to songs and identify songs, and none of them identified it."

"Same request."

"I am a later one. This BGM is a piece written by Miss Luo Quan specifically for this series, called 'The Wanlichangcheng' (ps. the original song is 'The Wanlichangcheng', a classic insert song of 'Chinese Little Master'). The full version is in Miss Luo Quan's latest dynamic."

"Thanks for pointing the way!"

………………

"Today's video is here. The next program hasn't thought about what to do yet, and I don't ask for three links or anything. If the playback evaluation is good, this series will always be done... hiccup!"

To here, the video ended abruptly.

At the moment the words were finished, Miss Luo Quan also hiccuped.

Of course, this fragment of her goddess image was directly edited out by her.

Just kidding, an "Abyssal Mouth" made fans and passersby laugh at her for a long time, becoming a black spot that could never be erased on her way to the goddess. If this hiccup was not edited out, I don't know what new jokes and new expression packs could be made for her tomorrow.

When it was released, Miss Luo Quan was actually quite unconfident. After all, she was doing this kind of food video for the first time, and the explanation was relatively stiff, and there were no memes. I don't know if it could be liked by everyone.

But after looking at it after release, it seems to be quite popular. In a short while, it already had more than 700,000 playback volume, and the data rose by a large margin every few minutes. The effect was very good.

The keyword 'Down to Rice' has already been on the Bilibili trending list. Not long after, Weibo and Some Zhihu also had related trending topics.

Currently, Miss Luo Quan is the darling of major internet platforms in China. As long as there is any disturbance, she can climb the trending list, making a large group of celebrity fresh meat envious.

Usually, when they hit the headlines, they work hard to hype and buy trending topics. If it doesn't work, even if it is negative news, they will do everything possible.

Miss Luo Quan is good, she can easily dominate Weibo, Some Zhihu, and Bilibili, and comment once a day. This frequency is simply outrageous!

The key is that if ordinary celebrities appear so frequently, passersby would have scolded them long ago, and in the comment section of Miss Luo Quan's trending topics, almost no similar comments can be seen, which is unexpectedly harmonious.

Can only use one sentence to describe it, that is, God is too biased!

Of course, although it is a keyword on the trending list, everyone's focus is actually different.

The comment section of Weibo is such a scene:

"Miss Luo Quan is simply out of the hall, into the kitchen, diligent and thrifty, gentle and virtuous. Whoever can marry her must have saved the galaxy in the last life!"

"Not only that, it is estimated that you have to save the universe to have such a blessing."

"This cooking skill looks very powerful. Just this knife skill is not something ordinary people can compare!"

"My master is a helper in a star-rated restaurant. He said that Miss Luo Quan's level of mastering heat is more powerful than the head chef in their place."

"Really?!"

"Laymen watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway. This level of pinching heat is really high, belonging to the master level!"

"As a girl, at this moment I am really sour. How can there be a girl who is so excellent in everything? (Smile)"

"Thinking that such a girl has to call other men husband in the future, my heart hurts."

"Don't worry, Miss Luo Quan said, she won't consider falling in love before thirty."

"Then I am relieved."

"I am in the third year of junior high this year. I want to study hard and marry Miss Luo Quan ten years later!"

"Your dream, I feel that becoming the world's richest man, the possibility of realization is even greater."

……………………

And on Some Zhihu, the comment section is another scene.

Question: How to evaluate Miss Luo Quan's new video, 'Down to Rice' series?

Answer:

"Are you sure it's not Miss Luo Quan's LOL funny collection? The word 'Down to Rice' now almost refers specifically."

"Do you only pay attention to this dish? Did you notice the BGM that appeared when Miss Luo Quan opened the lid? It's the first time a BGM has given me such an amazing feeling!"

"That BGM is called 'The Wanlichangcheng', majestic and atmospheric, the melody is catchy, and it uses instruments such as violin, flute, piano, etc. And in the performer column, I only see Miss Luo Quan alone, which means these instruments were recorded by her alone!"

"Simply terrifying, one person is a band, and it is played so well!"

"The level of this piece is quite good, a bit like a world-class composer."

It would be fine if this answer was not written. Once it was written, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Everyone's focus shifted from the 'Down to Rice' series to Miss Luo Quan's composition level.

Originally, only a few people were discussing it. Later, I don't know why, it suddenly went to the Some Zhihu hot list.

"Has Miss Luo Quan's composition level reached the level of a world-class composer?"

This question is simply killing people.

Whether the answer is yes or no, it is not good for Miss Luo Quan.

If the answer is yes, with Miss Luo Quan's current qualifications and limited works, she really can't afford such a title, especially in a place like China that likes to talk about seniority.

There are so many composition big guys in China who have worked hard for a lifetime and dare not say that they are world-class composers. You are good, a little girl under twenty years old dares to put such a title on herself. Where is the face?

But if you say it hasn't reached it. These days on the internet, whether it is passersby or fans, the praise for Miss Luo Quan has reached the point of forgetting oneself. No matter what title, the prefix must be added with a world-class.

And in any post discussing the status of domestic singers, there are always passersby and fans who take Miss Luo Quan out for comparison, and every mention is beating a group of Chinese singers, and even the old seniors are not in the eyes.

This is actually a very dangerous phenomenon. Sometimes celebrities attract hate because of the behavior of these brainless passersby and fans.

In short, in various comparisons related to music, Miss Luo Quan always appears, and is called dimensionality reduction strike by fans from time to time.

Given that she is currently in full swing, those who dislike her can't come up with any reason to refute, so they can only endure it for the time being and recognize her title as a world-class singer.

Actually, Miss Luo Quan is not unqualified to take this title. After all, she is a singer, not a singer-artist.

Any title, when it meets "artist", the concept is different.

And now, it is such a dilemma.

The person who asked the question is estimated to be deliberately trying to fix Miss Luo Quan, using the title of "composer", which made the hatred too big.

If it was just placed in the pop composition circle, perhaps it would not be so difficult to handle, but the scope was pulled so large, for Miss Luo Quan, it is indeed not enough to see.

And if she dare not admit the title of "world-class composer", those who have been blowing Miss Luo Quan on major forums before will directly become a joke, and she herself will become a joke.

This is not her fault, but those domestic singers' fans who have been persecuted by brainless fans and song-listening superior passersby will definitely fall into the trap at this time.

It can be guessed that this rhythm is mostly picked up by the group of superior dogs that Miss Luo Quan scolded a few days ago.

Miss Luo Quan has always been kind to others and has not offended anyone much. Recently, she has only confronted this group of people.

In the first confrontation, Miss Luo Quan scolded these people so that they didn't dare to let go with an overwhelming momentum, and now, they seized the opportunity and launched a second offensive against Miss Luo Quan.

Now it is too late for rational fans to lower the heat of the question and deal with it coldly. The question has risen to the fourth place on the hot list, with a heat of more than 20 million. It seems that many people have come in to express their views on this question.

But unfortunately, the majority of people hold a negative attitude.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand. After all, Miss Luo Quan is too young now, and the works she can take out are slightly fewer.

If it were two or three years later, this question might become no suspense.

In the comment section, the voices of criticism are almost one after another:

"Miss Luo Quan's talent is obvious to all. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius who is rare in China for decades. I don't think things like running out of talent and inspiration drying up will happen."

"But there is a saying that morality is the commander

After all, this isn't abroad; the moral expectations for creators here are much higher than they are overseas. Therefore, the thing young people should avoid most is being arrogant and complacent due to their youth and success.

"Humility and keeping a low profile are the keys to your continued progress!"

"Miss Luo Quan's music is indeed outstanding in the pop scene, but to call herself a composer, she still has a long way to go.

In my impression, composers primarily write symphonies—grand musical movements performed by dozens or hundreds of people, lasting ten minutes or even longer.

Only those who can write such music are considered composers in my family's view. Miss Luo Quan is, at best, just a pop music creator. Apart from the song 'Time to Say Goodbye,' the rest isn't really worth much."

"She's still a bit carried away. What young people should be doing is accumulating their own work and enriching their experience and knowledge, rather than discussing what status or title they hold.

That is a matter for future generations to determine. As for you now, you just need to do your own job well!"

……………………

It was clear that although most people were criticizing Miss Luo Quan, they still left some room for decency, and they truly meant well for her.

Among the voices of criticism, there was no shortage of veteran figures in the domestic composition scene. Perhaps they didn't have much international fame, but domestically, they were renowned musical giants whose works were considered the memories of a generation.

In their eyes, Miss Luo Quan was the most dazzling junior in China today and the leader most likely to represent Chinese musicians on the world stage.

Being young and impetuous is actually quite normal; they were the same when they first emerged. Now, they just wanted to educate Miss Luo Quan, just as the seniors who educated them did back then.

The original intentions of these seniors were good, and the entire response was focused on the issue rather than the person.

Unfortunately, they overlooked one point: Miss Luo Quan herself had never said anything about status or titles; it was all just self-indulgence by fans and trolls.

And this was another classic case of fan behavior reflecting poorly on the idol.

Some time ago, there was a celebrity who hadn't done anything himself, but his fans ended up offending most of the internet, and he was being cursed everywhere.

Someone even wrote a joke about it:

Fan: "Brother, for your sake, we are willing to be enemies with the whole world!"

Celebrity: "Why would I want to be enemies with the whole world?"

Fan: "It doesn't matter, we will help you be enemies with the whole world!"

Celebrity: "Don't come over here!"

It was very clear that Miss Luo Quan's current situation was already showing the early symptoms of this male celebrity's plight.

The only difference was that her previous track record was solid, her reputation was good, and she had a good rapport with the public, so she had managed to hold on until now without triggering large-scale attacks.

But if this question on Some Zhihu wasn't handled well, it could very likely spread and cause a widespread collapse of her personal image.

If she were unlucky, she might end up becoming the next internet scapegoat, just like that male celebrity.

The moment Miss Luo Quan saw the question, she sensed something was wrong. At the same time, she wrote a clarifying article as quickly as possible and posted it under the relevant Some Zhihu question.
