Chapter 262: Might as Well Dance (Part 2)

At noon the next day, Lin Zheyuan sent the edited MV to Luo Quan.

How to put it, because the budget and personnel were limited and the time was rushed, this was definitely not as refined as those MVs produced with large sums of money.

However, Lin Zheyuan was a professional after all, and the backgrounds of various scenic spots created with Photoshop were also very realistic, and one couldn't see much disharmony.

And the edited dance postures of Luo Quan were all stuck on the points of the song, the camera movement was stable, and the colors were bright. The only thing that made Luo Quan feel a bit dissatisfied was that the camera seemed to take too much care of her legs.

More than half of the shots in the less than four-minute MV were focused on her jumping legs, even though this was a dance MV with lower-body dance steps as the highlight.

But the flaws didn't obscure the virtues; the quality of this MV was still quite high. Just speaking of her own feelings, she felt this was better to watch than those dance videos with "Seve" accompaniment she saw in her previous life.

After saying thanks, Luo Quan turned and sent the video to her personal accounts on Bilibili and YouTube.

Her fans on YouTube had now exceeded five million, while Bilibili was a bit less.

However, because her videos were basically posted on Bilibili, although YouTube had more fans, the activity was far inferior to Bilibili.

But as soon as the video was released, it still gained more than 100,000 views in the blink of an eye. By comparison, there was no movement on Bilibili yet.

The comment section was quickly occupied by a group of users with English IDs:

"Magical music, I have never heard this language."

"Very good melody and rhythm, worthy of you."

"God, look at these legs."

"My friends and I are stunned."

There were many similar remarks; it seemed to be the same domestically and abroad, always able to discover the highlights of the video at the first time, then pause at the critical moment, and "announce to the world."

Bilibili was even more outrageous; one screen was full of "lick," "I lick," "good legs," "I lick crazily."

It was probably because her dance posture was indeed average, so there weren't many people discussing it. The few clear streams were still asking what the language of this song was.

However, now, no one was nagging about dancing anymore; the debt owed on Children's Day was now considered repaid.

After releasing the song, Luo Quan kept browsing YouTube and Bilibili, wanting to see if there was a possibility of exploding in popularity.

But although the data on both sides were rising rapidly, it was far from exploding.

It was just a very normal view count for a star of her level.

This made her a bit disappointed; she thought it could explode on the internet like in her previous life. It seemed that the world was different, and the effect would also be different.

Closing the APP, Luo Quan went to busy herself with making the OP for the anime.

But in a place she couldn't see, the growth rate of "Seve"'s view count was increasing at a stable speed. Although it wasn't particularly obvious at the beginning, after maintaining it for a period of time, one would see the clues.

Facts proved that if something could be popular, it proved that it had its superior aspects; even if it changed to a big environment, it could still be popular, just like the songs Luo Quan sang before.

Only this time, it was slightly slower.

Waking up the next day, Luo Quan looked at her phone as usual; there was no abnormality.

Of course there was no abnormality; all her mailboxes were blocked. To know who had looked for her, she had to click in and flip through them one by one.

The reason for doing this was because she was too careless when she uploaded videos on YouTube for the first time, exposing her private mailbox.

At that time, she thought it would be convenient for those companies to contact her to sign records, but she didn't expect her to become popular so quickly; she had over a million fans with three songs, and it was out of control after that.

Then, her mailbox was bombed by countless fans, advertisers, and economic companies every day.

In fact, as early as the end of last year, Luo Quan rarely used this Google mailbox; most of the business was discussed on the phone or on QQ, which were relatively private, and very few people knew about them.

Besides that, almost all her mailboxes and social platform private messages were always blocked.

However, every time she clicked into these private messages, she would also go in and flip through them.

Luo Quan wouldn't look at them seriously, but she just felt uncomfortable with the eye-catching unread number; she had to make it disappear to feel more comfortable. This could also be considered a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Today's unread number seemed to be much more than usual; usually, it would be around a few thousand after a night, but today it rarely exceeded 30,000.

"Could it be that my song really became popular?" Luo Quan muttered. The appearance of this abnormal scene could only be this result.

Quickly opening YouTube and entering the discovery channel, the number one hot topic today was indeed her "Seve."

Before going to sleep, Luo Quan took a look, and the view count was only two million, but after one night, it had actually exceeded 100 million.

This speed was too amazing; it actually increased by more than 50 times in less than 12 hours, and she didn't know if it broke the YouTube record.

Because Luo Quan noted under the video that she was dancing the C-Walk dance steps, after the video became popular, not only were those C-Walks on YouTube dug out, but it also made this word a hot search on Twitter.

What's more interesting is that there were quite a lot of imitators on Douyin.

The Douyin here was not the domestic Douyin, but the overseas version of Douyin: TikTok.

Although this app didn't have a good reputation in the country and was called the largest gathering place for the mentally disabled in Huaxia along with Constable.

But in fact, the quality of some videos was still okay, plus the development trend of today's society, fast rhythm had become the wealth code for all apps.

And short video platforms like Douyin rode this east wind and soared; not only did it have hundreds of millions of users in Huaxia, but it was also extremely popular worldwide, and user activity was almost comparable to Facebook and Ins.

And what everyone shot on Douyin was basically the trend indicator of the current popularity.

Just as "Seve" became popular on YouTube, a large number of C-Walk dance steps appeared here on TikTok.

But no one had Luo Quan's flavor; it always felt dry.

Soon, people discovered where the problem lay.

The music in the video was the key point.

Before "Seve" came out, the C-Walk dance step actually didn't have much popularity and was often mistaken for the ghost step by the northern public.

And Luo Quan's "Seve" seemed to inject soul into this dance step; imitators and passersby had mostly watched this song video, so they had already bound the two together first.

If it were in the country, it would definitely be easy to solve; just use the BGM, and as for copyright, who would care about that thing?

Millions of Douyin users were using it; could you ban them all?

However, foreign users hadn't experienced it in such a bad environment, and copyright awareness was relatively high, so the effect was a bit unsatisfactory.

Seeing this, Luo Quan wasn't stingy and directly uploaded the pure music version of "Seve," noting: it can be reprinted and edited, used as BGM for videos, but adaptation is not allowed, especially making it into some DJ version.

This approach gained her countless praise; the number of related videos on TikTok began to increase, and the view count also soared.

Injecting soul, this dance step seemed to have been sublimated.

And the titles of most of these videos could see the word "Seve." More and more people came to YouTube out of curiosity, contributing their clicks and sending popularity.

A virtuous cycle began like this.

The word "Seve" became a hot search from YouTube to TikTok to Twitter.

Then from these three platforms, it brushed the screen of major internet media and video platforms.

In just two days, "Seve" had become a hot spot that foreign young people were discussing and imitating.

On campus, streets, parks, one could see young people dancing C-Walk everywhere; they played that unique BGM and showed their dance postures in front of the camera with effort. Many even danced better than Luo Quan.

But as the pioneer of all this, Luo Quan's status was still unshakable. The view count of "Seve" on YouTube had long reached one billion, and the growth speed surpassed any song she had released before.

The YouTube highest view count record previously set by "Fade" seemed to be about to be broken by "Seve" soon.

After being popular abroad for so long, there was finally movement in the country at this time.

The first to react was actually Douyin.

Young people were always very accurate and fast in grasping internet hot spots, and their hands-on ability was extremely fast. Almost overnight, "Seve" dance videos were everywhere.

Only two days had passed, which was the fourth day of "Seve"'s release, and the parks and streets of Huaxia had become the same as abroad.

Young people were competing with grandpas and grandmas for the use of the square for the first time, and the grandpas and grandmas were also quite interested when they saw this dance step they had never seen before.

However, they gave up imitating after trying it; this thing was still too stylish for them, and they couldn't learn it at all.

But among young people, this song and dance step were completely popular. The video view count on Bilibili began to soar, and Weibo and Zhihu also arranged it immediately.

Only at this time did Luo Quan finally show a satisfied smile.

This was the appearance in her impression; if it's gold, it will shine wherever it goes.

However, it was currently only popular on the internet; when people from all walks of life started dancing this dance one day, that would be truly popular.

But it probably wouldn't work for now; as the campus where young people were most concentrated, it was in a period of banning all entertainment activities.

Junior high school students were preparing for the high school entrance examination, and high school students were preparing for the college entrance examination.

The whole country was facilitating this annual event. Within a few kilometers near the school, one could see traffic police and civil police. Anyone who dared to honk a horn would be stopped and severely punished immediately.

After all, it was the future of the country, and now it was the most important moment in their lives; no matter how much they were cared for, it wouldn't be too much.

Speaking of care, Luo Quan felt like an old mother at this time.

Wen Xia's student status was in Shanghai, so the two flew to the school where they were taking the exam the day before the exam, and familiarized themselves with the exam room in advance.

The next morning, Luo Quan specially made breakfast for Wen Xia—a fried dough stick and two eggs, implying 100 points, or full marks.

The full score of the college entrance examination subjects was definitely more than 100, but Luo Quan was also betting on a good omen; the meaning was enough.

Although Wen Xia didn't have a big appetite, she still ate it all this time.

After packing up the school bag that she had checked I don't know how many times, the two went out, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the exam room.

This time, neither of them wore sunglasses and were dressed very plainly.

Before entering the school, Luo Quan was still asking Wen Xia if she had brought everything.

Wen Xia turned her head and gave her a white look, "You've asked this three times on the way; why are you more nervous than me when I'm taking the exam?"

Luo Quan said seriously, "Stop joking with me; take a look after you go in, and if you're missing anything, call me immediately."

"Got it." Wen Xia waved her hand and walked into the campus with her school bag on her back.

The school where Wen Xia's student status was located was a private key high school in Shanghai, and this college entrance examination also attracted many reporters.

Originally, everyone was just shooting the scene of candidates entering the exam room and saying goodbye to their parents, preparing to add a few hot-blooded and inspiring BGMs to render the atmosphere as the main highlight of the news for the next two days.

Unexpectedly, Luo Quan and Wen Xia appeared at the school.

As media people, these two sisters, who were currently the most popular in Huaxia, would definitely not be recognized wrongly.

Besides, their faces were so recognizable, especially Luo Quan, who could be called unforgettable at a glance; it was really difficult to recognize her wrongly.

Reporters still felt it was a bit inappropriate to interview Luo Quan on such an occasion, so they shot silently on the side.

Luo Quan noticed these people very early and also discovered that they were shooting her.

But there was no way; as a star, traveling without sunglasses and masks was destined to "enjoy" such treatment.

Fortunately, those outside the exam room were basically parents of a certain age, and not many people knew her, so it wouldn't reach the situation of a fan meeting scene.

In short, these reporters could shoot if they wanted to; she played with her phone with her head down.

Recently, there was a talented UP host on Bilibili called Lanling Xiaoxiaoseng who edited a video of her.

It was putting various videos and pictures since her debut together, adding some clips and PS from other film and television works, and creating a rather sexy video.

The consequence was that the view count was almost 3 million in three days of uploading, which was more than the view count of most of the videos she released herself.

Then, the comment section and barrage directly opened a Pantao Assembly, and various Taobao members began to exchange experiences.

Looking at beauties was naturally pleasing to the eye, especially the sexy type; Luo Quan herself liked to watch it too.

But when the protagonist was herself, the situation was different, always making her feel a bit awkward.

But she couldn't say anything about this situation; if she asked this UP host to delete the video, it would make her appear a bit pretentious and easily ruin her popularity with passersby.

After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Quan still endured it, just typing a sentence in the comment section: "Next time you edit a video, change the style."
