Chapter 274: I'm Willing

PS: I wanted to congratulate LPL when posting, but DWG won the championship while I was typing, which is a bit uncomfortable.

Also, it's the beginning of the month. I'm asking for leave for tomorrow and the day after. I've had gastroenteritis recently and have been having diarrhea for a day. I'll conceive the plot while recuperating.

Also, thank you to all the book friends who subscribed and tipped this book. Thank you for your support for me and this book!

Main text: Saying it flopped, actually, the digital album "I'm Here" still sold more than 2 million copies domestically, which is definitely a top-notch sales figure.

But unfortunately, it collided with Girls' Generation. Although the latter's fans might not necessarily be more numerous than Miss Luo Quan's, they are willing to spend money, and there is no limit to the number of albums purchased, so in terms of sales, "Girls' Generation" crushed "I'm Here."

But if you analyze the digital albums on the whole platform, the album ranked third in sales in early July is Wang Yue, who became popular by cueing Miss Luo Quan before.

Her digital album sales rose from a pitiful 30,000+ to over 100,000.

Even so, it can already be ranked in the top 20 of this year's album sales list.

Miss Luo Quan and Girls' Generation are the two biggest bugs in China right now, and no one can rival them.

And Miss Luo Quan being called "Luo Luo Yi Ji" on Zhihu is more of a joking way of saying it.

In fact, except for the album "18" which flopped, the two albums after that actually sold quite well.

The digital album of "Love" sold more than 5 million copies, and physical records broke 1.5 million.

"I'm Here" digital album 2 million, physical records pre-sale volume is a bit less, but also reached more than 400,000.

Compared to her sales in various regions abroad, of course, it's a flop, but domestically, she is still a well-deserved best-selling diva.

Mainly, Miss Luo Quan never manages her fans; chart-hitting, activities, and interaction are all left to fate.

Although the data can still crush most domestic musicians, when encountering a top idol group like Girls' Generation, she is immediately compared.

Therefore, under the relevant questions, everyone is answering in a joking tone:

"Everyone says Miss Luo Quan's new album flopped, but how come I see Miss Luo Quan's name in half of the production list of the 'Girls' Generation' album? The frequency of appearance is more frequent than these girls in Girls' Generation?"

"Miss Luo Quan was finally defeated!"

"Who defeated her?"

"Herself!"

"Need to use Miss Luo Quan to limit Miss Luo Quan."

"Major music charts, the top twenty seem to be occupied by Miss Luo Quan, some sung by herself, some written and composed by her."

"It's really all-inclusive; it's been a long time since I've seen such an all-around musician."

She, who has always liked high-intensity surfing, naturally smiled and replied underneath when seeing this "Luo Luo Yi Ji" title:

"Don't... don't make fun of me!"

Just replied, and immediately attracted a large group of melon-eating masses.

To be honest, for a star of this level, only she can be so idle, so grounded, not rushing to any announcements all day, just interacting with netizens on major platforms.

This is probably the reason why many passersby turned into fans. Compared to those high-and-mighty stars, Miss Luo Quan seems easier to get along with.

Of course, the premise is not to put up that photo of "Abyssal Big Mouth." This is a hurdle she can't get over in her life.

Ten songs were successfully released, with rave reviews and pleasing sales.

Miss Luo Quan was lying on the balcony in the bedroom, looking up at the night sky outside the window.

Unknowingly, she had been in this world for almost a year.

Today, one year ago, she was still living a life of working one day and playing for two.

One year later, she had already become a world-renowned genius singer.

Every time she calmed down, she would sometimes feel ashamed, feeling that she was a thief who took things that belonged to others.

Sometimes she would feel worried about gains and losses, afraid that all this was just a dream, and when the dream woke up, everything would return to its original state.

Every time this happened, Miss Luo Quan would rub her face and look in the mirror.

This face that could topple countries was her greatest comfort when she felt unreal about reality.

Being sentimental was not her style. After observing the celestial phenomena for a while, Miss Luo Quan concluded from the night sky full of thick clouds that it might rain in the early morning.

She hurriedly collected the clothes and quilts on the balcony and hung them in the closet.

Although Wen Xia's mansion had an ionic dryer, which was very convenient.

But every time Miss Luo Quan finished washing clothes, she would tirelessly choose to dry them in the sun. There was no special reason; it was just a habit.

Tonight, Wen Xia and several sisters went to promote the new album, and they had already booked a hotel and prepared to stay outside, so they wouldn't be back.

After re-debuting, Wen Xia would only get busier in the next two months, with her schedule filled to the brim, having to go both domestically and internationally.

Only after school starts in September will she be a little freer.

Fortunately, Girls' Generation currently has no major competitors domestically, so they don't have to work as hard as those Korean girl groups day and night.

Usually, they just need to appear on variety shows, programs, and release new singles to maintain popularity.

After half a year, the members will start to accept film and television resources and start acting. Everyone will have their own development path according to their positioning.

Then, after a period of time, all members will combine to do some activities, such as releasing new albums, holding concerts, etc.

Domestic and foreign girl groups basically follow this routine, which can be considered maximizing the value of the members.

After collecting the clothes, Miss Luo Quan lay on the bed and watched the event scene where Girls' Generation was promoting the new album.

It looked like it was in a big hotel, with fans and reporters mixed below, all quite excited. The sound was too noisy, so Miss Luo Quan watched for a while and then stopped.

She only knew that the "Girls' Generation" album sold more than 10 million in the Zijin Palace, which was already creating a record.

She went for a stroll on Weibo and found that this matter had also hit the hot search:

"'Girls' Generation' sales break Chinese record!"

Clicking in, you can see a picture with a large 15 million figure on it, officially certified by Tencent Music.

In the comment section, a bunch of stars and fans were here to express congratulations. There were quite a few big-name stars here, all of whom were top Chinese traffic artists with tens of millions of fans.

Of course, flipping down, there were some black fans wearing small accounts.

Having such huge traffic naturally moved other people's cakes, so it was normal for water armies to come and smear them.

Interestingly, some water armies also mentioned her:

"Album production all depends on Miss Luo Quan; what's there to be proud of?"

"Without Miss Luo Quan, what are you?"

Miss Luo Quan was also very straightforward and replied directly below:

"I'm willing." She also added a "tongue-out dog head" emoji, which was very naughty...

As time passed day by day, the popularity of Miss Luo Quan's new album after its release was not as hot as it was at the beginning.

Although "I'm Here" was a very good work overall, it was undeniable that compared to god-tier albums like "Coming of Age" and "Love," there was still a gap, and the topics it could cause were really a bit large.

Although physical records hadn't been released yet, in an era where the internet was so developed, cover versions had already come out, but the popularity of the songs was clearly not as high as the click-through rate of the first few days of release.

However, on Bilibili, its popularity had just begun.

Everything just stemmed from the dance in "Gokuraku Jodo."

It was like the source of all evil. As soon as it landed on Bilibili, it spread at a viral speed. Videos related to it were now wealth codes on Bilibili. As long as the video title had "Gokuraku Jodo," the playback volume could easily exceed 100,000.

This was a thorough otaku dance, gathering all the elements that Chinese otaku loved, and Miss Luo Quan herself also satisfied the fantasies of the vast majority of otaku.

After a few days of fermentation, "Gokuraku Jodo" finally ushered in an outbreak.

Various major areas of Bilibili began to be swiped by "Gokuraku Jodo," such as anime, ghost and animal, dance, etc. Regardless of whether they were related or not, they were filled with the figure of "Gokuraku Jodo."

Bilibili also immediately followed the trend, spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of the "Gokuraku Jodo" MV, and quickly put it on Bilibili.

In two days, the playback volume exceeded 10 million. The speed of the increase in click-through rate and collection rate could be called the best on Bilibili!

The comment section and barrage were all calling out "poisoned," unable to extricate themselves. The fingers clicking to play again couldn't stop at all, accusing Miss Luo Quan of being the biggest drug lord on Bilibili.

Related memes quickly became a unique culture of Bilibili, and Miss Luo Quan finally integrated into Bilibili, becoming one of the symbols of this circle.

Now she has the nickname: Drug Lord. At the same level as her are "King," "Forest Fairy," "Beast Senior," "Demon King," and other predecessors in the philosophy circle.

It belongs to the level where mentioning Bilibili makes people think of these people.

Although being listed with these people always feels a bit strange, it's a good thing anyway.

At least among Chinese stars on Bilibili, her popularity is unrivaled.

This is the largest gathering place for young people in China, and the benefits are definitely very many, but currently, it's of no use.

After the album was released, Miss Luo Quan had nothing to do this summer.

"Wolf Warrior 2" had already harvested more than 8 billion in box office. Director Wu Jin had received so many variety shows that his hands were soft, and the overwhelming reports had already made her exhausted.

Miss Luo Quan's thank-you money had also been received in three waves, each time more than the last.

This time, Director Wu Jin spent all his family wealth to film "Wolf Warrior 2," becoming the highest-grossing director in China in one fell swoop, earning money that other directors couldn't earn in several lifetimes.

It is said that the second movie is already in preparation, a sci-fi film, to be released during the Spring Festival the year after next. Unfortunately, there is no place for her.

The cooperation between the two can be considered to have come to an end, and Miss Luo Quan's task is half completed.

The second movie, "The Lord of the Rings," is still being filmed intensely, and no news has come out recently. I guess the reporters have all been driven away by Director Ford.

According to Director Ford's speed, Miss Luo Quan estimates that this movie will not be released until the end of this year at the earliest. No matter how urgent, it's useless.

Currently, "Love" and "Coming of Age" are still selling, continuing to create records, and "I'm Here" is about to be released. The huge sales share can already be seen.

Suddenly, Miss Luo Quan found that she had no work at all.

The variety show ended, she finished filming her scenes for the movie, and the album was recorded. She had nothing to do.

Flipping through the mailbox, they were basically sent by fans. There were almost no announcements, advertisements, or cooperation invitations.

Mainly because her attitude was too cold before, and she basically didn't pay attention to these emails, which led to people not sending them to her now.

"Does this count as being unemployed at the peak?" Miss Luo Quan scratched her head, suddenly feeling a bit dumbfounded.

People are sometimes really contradictory. When they have things to do, they want to rest; when they are idle, they want to find things to do.

Seeing Wen Xia, Junko, and Yuner's Weibo updating their work-related daily life every day, while her Weibo hadn't been updated for almost a week...

Didn't look, didn't know; looked, only to find that she was actually so lazy.

After hesitating for a while, Miss Luo Quan posted a dynamic on Bilibili: "I've been slacking off for a long time. I feel so idle recently. Suddenly I have nothing to do."

As soon as the dynamic came out, angry fans immediately came to the door:

"Idle? What about your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? Just waiting for this dish to eat with rice!"

"Live stream, waiting for you to rank up to King from zero."

"New song, new song, new song. I'm tired of saying it. It's been a long time since you released a Chinese new song."

It seems that "idle" is only Miss Luo Quan's unilateral opinion. In the eyes of fans, she still owes a lot of debts that haven't been repaid.

New songs can be released, but currently, she has to wait two days.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... forget it, that thing is too time-consuming and laborious. Cooking a pot seriously is too tiring.

Ranking up from zero is possible, but she has to wait until she buys a set of good equipment.

However, this time, besides fans being dissatisfied, Chanel, which had the only contract relationship with Miss Luo Quan, also started complaining.

Miss Luo Quan's dynamic on Bilibili was moved to Weibo. Lisa, the person in charge of Chanel Greater China, saw it and immediately tagged her:

"Finally you have time. Chanel 2017's latest summer clothes have been released. A bunch of clothes are waiting for your first wear."

The comment section can be described as quite lively:

"If you don't tag Miss Luo Quan, she probably forgot that she is Chanel's global full-line brand ambassador."

"Really has face, making Lisa chase her to wear new clothes."

"Ask one more question, does Miss Luo Quan's first wear cost money?"

"What do you think? This is Chanel's highest-priority spokesperson. Not only does she not need to pay for wearing clothes, but Chanel also has to pay her!"

"Can you popularize this priority? China seems to have quite a few Chanel spokespersons, right?"

"The levels are many and relatively complex. From high to low, they are brand spokesperson, brand ambassador, brand friend, and brand activity promotion."

"Then the regions are also divided into levels. Global, Greater China, China, and each endorses different brands. Some only endorse a sub-brand of Chanel, or a series."

"And Miss Luo Quan is global full-series. The level belongs to the highest one, and there are no artists at the same level as her."

"Sounds so amazing. Usually, she looks like a funny person, didn't expect to have this identity."

"Although Miss Luo Quan usually behaves like a sand sculpture online, she is a solid first-tier superstar internationally. Many big foreign brands beg to let her endorse them."

"Blew it up, right? Just posted on Weibo that she seems to be unemployed and has no announcements."

"She just said it like that; you really believe it? Since Miss Luo Quan's debut, have you seen her accept any announcements?"

"Miss Luo Quan is old at playing hard to get. Isn't Chanel coming to the door by itself?"

It really came to the door by itself. Just like the comment section said, she almost forgot that she was Chanel's spokesperson. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
