Chapter 244: November's Arrogance

~14 min read 2,689 words

"Sound team, sound team, where is my M accompaniment?!" Director Zhang shouted into the walkie-talkie with an urgent tone, followed by a curse.

"Report, Xiao Wang just checked, the wire end is loose!" The head of the sound team was also sweating profusely. The bus head connecting the broadcast room to the on-site speakers suddenly came loose, and it happened at this most critical moment.

After three seconds, the team leader replied again: "Xiao Wang has already pulled the wire end off. Should I plug it back in?"

Although the situation was very critical, the team leader still had relatively good work experience. The accompaniment in the computer had been playing all along. If he plugged it in now, the sound would appear particularly abrupt, and anyone would know that an accident had occurred.

Director Zhang saw that the lights on the stage had turned black. According to the procedure, Miss Luo Quan would start lip-syncing in a while. If Miss Luo Quan could understand what was going on, then everything could still be saved.

If she didn't understand, he would have to plug the sound wire back in.

Anyway, it was death either way, so Director Zhang decided to take a gamble!

"Don't plug it in yet. Turn off Miss Luo Quan's vocal recording and the song accompaniment recording. Listen to my command later! Also, turn on Miss Luo Quan's microphone and turn the volume up!"

After giving the instructions, Director Zhang fell into his chair, clasping his hands together and looking at the white, beautiful figure on the stage.

"Miss Luo Quan, my career depends on you this time..."

At the same time, Miss Luo Quan in the darkness also noticed that something was wrong.

According to the rehearsal, shortly after she took the stage, all the lights in the venue would be turned off, then the accompaniment would start, and a bright moon would rise on the LED screen behind her, illuminating the entire stage and creating the artistic conception of a bright moon in the sky.

But at this moment, the accompaniment of piano and violin intertwined did not sound for a long time, while the time for the moon behind her to rise was almost up.

She knew that it was mostly because something had happened in the broadcast room, but she was the one performing in front of the people of the whole country. Anyone could have a problem, but she couldn't be chaotic!

No accompaniment was not a problem; singing a cappella was also fine.

But if the microphone wasn't turned on, without bel canto, it would be impossible for everyone in the No. 1 studio to hear her singing.

In this situation, Director Zhang, who was in control of the overall situation, must know.

Therefore, she could only gamble, gamble that Director Zhang would turn on the microphone for her.

If it succeeded, everything would be fine.

If it didn't... then it didn't!

The unexpected situation happened very suddenly, but Miss Luo Quan's decision-making speed was as fast as lightning. The smile on her face didn't change in the slightest throughout the process, because the camera lens had been aimed at her.

Having rehearsed so many times, Miss Luo Quan already knew by heart what to do at every time point. After counting silently for three seconds, she opened her red lips:

"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my wine and ask the blue sky."

"I don't know what year it is in the palaces of heaven tonight."

The bright moon, symbolizing perfection, accompanied by the clear singing voice that seemed to come from the Guanghan Palace in heaven, illuminated Miss Luo Quan's beautiful face.

CCTV's top-level pickup microphone transmitted Miss Luo Quan's voice, which made countless people infatuated, to the ears of every viewer watching the livestream almost without loss.

At this moment, everyone felt that it was as if the Super Change fairy was singing in front of them, and both the person and the singing voice were breathtakingly beautiful!

Miss Luo Quan once again proved her strength and strong psychological quality with her singing voice.

Ordinary singers on such a stage, encountering such an unexpected situation, let alone being able to sing as usual, it would be good if they didn't stand on the stage in a daze.

And Miss Luo Quan's voice didn't show the slightest tremor, and it was even as round and full as usual!

The song slowly advanced, and Miss Luo Quan sang the line "How is it in the human world."

There would be a pause that was neither long nor short after singing here, and the subsequent music would not be too abrupt, so Director Zhang also played the accompaniment at this time point.

Hearing the accompaniment, Miss Luo Quan felt more confident. The hanging heart was completely let go, and her body also made corresponding movements according to the designs made by the director.

Everything was basically proceeding as planned.

Finally, the song ended in Miss Luo Quan's beautiful head-voice long note. The audience applauded thunderously. Miss Luo Quan maintained the posture of singing with her neck stretched like a white swan, and the entire stage fell into darkness again.

"Okay, go to a commercial break!"

On the late autumn night, Director Zhang was covered in cold sweat. He took the assistant's towel and wiped his face messily, then breathed a sigh of relief.

The other program heads around also breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Fortunately, I didn't mess things up." Director Zhang, who was over forty, had the urge to cry loudly at this moment.

But he couldn't cry. This evening party still had half the time left for him to command...

Backstage, a group of stars who had already finished performing gathered around: "Miss Luo Quan, was there a problem on stage just now? The accompaniment seemed to appear a bit late."

"It was indeed a bit late. It should be that something happened in the sound team." Miss Luo Quan had a happy face. This time, by mistake, she achieved an achievement, that is, singing live on the CCTV evening party stage. Many kings and queens don't have this ability~~

Kong Yue looked at Miss Luo Quan in surprise: "You were too steady on stage. We were all sweating for you below."

Miss Luo Quan smiled modestly: "Can I not be steady after rehearsing so many times? Just calm down and perform normally."

Although she said it so lightly, the talent and sweat required to perform normally on such a stage are unimaginable.

This is skill. No wonder she can be so popular.

Many stars on the scene felt a little more convinced of Miss Luo Quan in their hearts...

Less than five minutes after Miss Luo Quan finished singing "Wish We Last Forever," it directly rushed to the first place on Weibo hot search, with the suffix "Explosive!"

The ratings of the entire Mid-Autumn Festival party also reached the highest at this moment. Whether it was the old or new people in the circle, they all knew that Miss Luo Quan was going to be popular.

Although she had been popular on the Internet for a whole year before, that was only on the Internet. The popularity now refers to the popularity across the country, like in Japan, where any passerby on the street knows who she is.

Undoubtedly, this Mid-Autumn Festival party was very successful. Both the popularity and ratings were the best in recent years. Miss Luo Quan's perfect performance was just one of the reasons for success.

But because she was too prominent, she was naturally regarded as the representative of this party. In the future, as long as someone mentions the 2017 Mid-Autumn Festival party, they will think of her.

And the song "Wish We Last Forever," after this singing, also became an essential repertoire for major Mid-Autumn Festival parties.

The day after the party ended, Miss Luo Quan returned to Shanghai. After the performance last night, a group of friends sent her congratulations, saying that she was going to be popular this time. To describe it with a poem, it is "Who in the world doesn't know you."

However, when Miss Luo Quan goes out, she usually wears a mask. The airport during the National Day Golden Week is crowded, and no one recognizes that she is the "Super Change Fairy" who amazed all of China last night.

During the National Day school holiday, Miss Luo Quan, who had nowhere to go, originally wanted to find Wen Xia at Tomson Riviera, only to find out that the black-hearted agent had taken them to shows and announcements again.

Girls' Generation, who performed at the Shanghai Bund last night, was also the highlight of this Mid-Autumn Festival party. Nine perfect-looking girls presented a song and dance to the audience with neat movements.

Because the theme of this Mid-Autumn Festival party was youth, and many idols had danced before them, their appearance did not seem abrupt.

And because they were already popular among young people, they hit the top three of the hot search as soon as they appeared, and later only second to Miss Luo Quan.

Girls' Generation's popularity skyrocketed again, and many variety shows also sent invitations. Workers are on holiday during the National Day, but the entertainment industry will not be on holiday, so the girls can only go out to shows collectively even if they want to rest.

Helplessly, Miss Luo Quan could only return to her new home she just bought in Tan Palace.

Before her, Su Yu, Lan Xuan, and Ai Wei had already moved in one step ahead. Although they had worked in the entertainment industry for a period of time, Su Yu and Lan Xuan had never seen such a luxurious mansion. When they first came in, the surprised expressions and the degree of their mouths opening were exactly the same as Ai Wei's.

After being told by Miss Luo Quan that they would have to clean the room frequently in the future, their mouths opened even wider.

Of course, this was just a joke. A four-story villa of more than 1,000 square meters, let alone cleaning, even if they walked through it completely, it would take a lot of effort. If they really cleaned it, it might not be done in a day and night.

For this kind of thing, it is still necessary to go to a cleaning company to ask professionals to operate, and the frequency does not need to be too frequent. After all, there are only four people living now, and most of the rooms in the entire villa are usually closed.

After getting off the plane, Miss Luo Quan took a taxi to the school parking garage, and then drove back to the villa. Hearing the sound of the door lock turning, the women who were applying facial masks in the living room got up and came to the door.

"Welcome home, boss."

Three white faces suddenly appeared, scaring Miss Luo Quan:

"Damn, what kind of facial mask are you applying early in the morning? I thought a ghost had entered the house!"

Ai Wei sighed: "We are not as naturally beautiful as you, boss. Even if we don't use any skincare products, our skin can be delicate, white, and smooth. Only by applying more whitening masks can we maintain our lives."

"Don't talk nonsense with me." Miss Luo Quan walked into the house between laughter and tears, kicked the door shut with her toes, "Also, the so-called whitening of facial masks is harmful to the skin. It will have side effects over time. If you really want to whiten, drink more pure milk or apply cucumber."

Su Yu asked curiously: "So, boss, you also use this method to become so white?"

Miss Luo Quan shook her head: "I'm not, I was born like this."

Actually, although Asians are all yellow people, their skin is not yellow at all. It mainly depends on the living environment and conditions. Some Asians have whiter skin than some Europeans, and only black people are really black.

"Did you watch the Mid-Autumn Festival party last night?" Throwing her backpack on the sofa, Miss Luo Quan asked the women.

Ai Wei nodded: "Of course I watched it. As expected of the boss, the song was sung too well."

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Originally, I was going to lip-sync, but when I went on stage, I didn't know if there was a problem with the sound equipment. The accompaniment didn't sound, so I sang live directly."

Su Yu was surprised: "There is such a thing?! We thought your a cappella was the arrangement of the program. The Internet is full of praise for your singing."

"So, in this circle, keeping calm and keen reaction is the most important thing. If I had lip-synced like the rehearsal last night, then this Mid-Autumn Festival party would probably have been printed on the pillar of shame." Miss Luo Quan began to give an example to the company employees and gave a lecture.

At the age of nineteen, it sounds a bit ridiculous to be a teacher, but whether it is Su Yu or Ai Wei, they are very convinced.

At present, they are several levels behind the boss, and there are many things to learn.

"If there is nothing, then I will go to the recording studio first." Miss Luo Quan took out paper and pen from her backpack and prepared to go to the recording studio on the second floor.

On the day the house was obtained, Miss Luo Quan asked Zhao Ya to prepare a set of the latest and best audio production equipment for her. In the future, she would not have to use other people's equipment when recording albums.

Zhao Ya's movements were also very fast, and everything was ready the next day. Today, she also wanted to try the effect and taste it.

Su Yu was excited: "Boss, are you going to release a new album?"

She is Miss Luo Quan's loyal fan. She has heard every song of Miss Luo Quan, and her mobile phone ringtone is Miss Luo Quan's "Lemon."

"Yes, now the fans on the Internet are urging, if I don't release songs, they will go crazy.

And take advantage of the free time these few days to release my album, so that I have the energy to help Ai Wei produce her debut album." Miss Luo Quan said, walking upstairs.

This time, the theme of the new Chinese album is definitely going to be the pop love song route. After all, this is the most mainstream style.

From the program "I Am a Singer," she understood a truth, that is, experimental songs are only suitable for self-appreciation, and there is almost no future.

So although many people on the Internet want her to do something different, to create some new elements for Chinese music, she has no such idea at all.

It's not that she can't write these songs, but the audience for these songs is too small. She wants her songs to be accepted by most people, rather than satisfying the elegant pursuit of a very small number of people.

And when it comes to pop that most people can accept, then she has to rely on the power of that man.

In fact, her first Chinese album last year also used the power of that man, but well, his power is too much, and it can't be finished once, so she decided to come again.

"Forgive me, Jay Chou, I like your songs too much."

When Miss Luo Quan signed the album name on the computer, she was a little blushing, but she still did it.

That night, Miss Luo Quan, without any warning, posted a Bilibili update promoting her album:

"Tomorrow night, I will bring you my second new Chinese album. The name of this album is 'November's Arrogance,' oh no, it's 'Chopin of November.' Please support it a lot. (Dog head)"
