Chapter 318: Consecutive Works

Gao Liang's speed was very fast. After receiving Luo Quan's lyrics, music, and recording demo in the evening, he spent the whole night memorizing the lyrics, practicing, and controlling the rhythm. By the next evening, he had mastered it. After trying a few times, he finally recorded a satisfactory version in the recording studio and sent it to Luo Quan at dawn, which was noon in China.

Although Gao Liang usually didn't have a serious shape and was very playful in his speech and actions, he was quite reliable at critical moments. The speed of completion was so fast that he finally didn't fail the many hairs his friend had lost over the past two days.

Luo Quan had also just sent the produced "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme song to Director Miller. Producing such a multi-part, multi-harmony symphony was quite troublesome. Although Luo Quan's technique was already quite proficient, it still took several hours, far exceeding the time to produce an ordinary pop song.

Speaking of which, Shangyi is such a big school, and Luo Quan hadn't found a public recording studio at first.

There were some nearby, but Luo Quan was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know which one was more conscientious and which one was more black-hearted, so she didn't dare to look for one casually, so she could only post a request for help on the Shangyi Tieba.

Since Luo Quan showed her face on the Shangyi Tieba last time, this account had unknowingly gained more than a thousand followers. As soon as she posted, a bunch of people came to show concern.

However, most people didn't actually know themselves, they just replied in the comment section: "Top it," or "Find a teacher," or "Ask a senior."

All of them were correct nonsense.

Fortunately, there were many people on the Tieba, and finally, someone replied with a few constructive opinions, which was to go to the third floor of the school's newly built science and technology building. There were a few recording studios with good configurations, but they were for teachers and graduate seniors, and ordinary students might not be able to use them.

Luo Quan looked at the school map and found that this science and technology building was not far from the dormitory, so she went directly to try her luck.

Although she wasn't a graduate student, if she used the name of recording a work for the Shangyi Music Competition, she thought the teachers shouldn't refuse.

When Luo Quan went, she specifically chose noon when everyone was eating, just to avoid everyone.

Originally, she thought whether she would encounter someone like the dormitory aunt guarding the recording studio door, the kind that wouldn't let you in without a slip, but there was no one in the recording studio, and the door was open, so she could go in directly.

Luo Quan finished recording the song inside, and didn't meet anyone when she left. It could only be said that her luck was quite good.

However, the second time she went, Luo Quan's luck wasn't so good. All four recording studios were in use. Luo Quan went in and took a look, chose one with fewer people, and walked in.

In this recording studio, there were two students, a man and a woman, who looked to be in their early twenties, probably graduate students at Shangyi, who were lying in front of the computer desk operating the synthesizer software.

Luo Quan didn't speak, just stood behind and watched.

"Classmate, do you want to use it too?" The boy just glanced with his peripheral vision and didn't recognize that it was Luo Quan.

"Yes, I want to use it, but it's not very urgent." Luo Quan moved a stool over and sat down.

"It's okay, we'll be done here soon, but you have to be fast. Later, Teacher Zhao from the Music Production Department will bring two students over for practical operation practice. At that time, I'm afraid it will take an hour or two."

Luo Quan smiled: "It's okay, I'll just record a song, very fast."

After waiting for about ten minutes, the two students packed up their USB drives and closed all software.

"Classmate, come on..." The senior looked up, saw Luo Quan's appearance, and froze in place.

"You are... you are Luo Quan!" The other senior sister shouted in surprise.

"Yes." Luo Quan nodded with a smile, stepped forward, and sat next to the machine.

"Luo Quan, can I take a photo? You can just sit like this without looking at the camera." The senior took out his phone and made a request that wasn't too much.

"Of course." Luo Quan didn't refuse.

Although the senior sister didn't speak, she still silently took out her phone and aimed it at Luo Quan.

Having agreed to take photos, she couldn't put on airs. Facing the camera of the person taking photos was a basic etiquette. The two seniors also satisfactorily took photos of Luo Quan, thinking that their WeChat Moments tonight could finally have a photo with status.

After dismissing the two seniors, Luo Quan put on headphones and started producing Gao Liang's new song "Stan."

She had already taken the time to record the chorus of the song yesterday. What she had to do now was to produce the accompaniment and fuse the two segments into a complete song.

This process was much simpler than yesterday. Luo Quan estimated that it could be done within half an hour.

However, not long after she started, the door of the recording studio was opened.

Three people walked in, a teacher and two students.

"Classmate, are you busy?" Teacher Zhao saw Luo Quan clicking rapidly on the screen from a distance and thought she was playing Minesweeper. When he walked over, he saw that she was actually doing music production, and his heart was shocked.

"You must be Teacher Zhao, right?" Luo Quan took off her headphones, thinking that this came too fast.

"You are Luo Quan!" Teacher Zhao saw the appearance of this student clearly, and the surprise in his heart disappeared.

If it could be said that half a year ago, Luo Quan didn't have much fame in China, now, at least those engaged in music-related industries didn't know her!

From composition to music production to the classical music world, Luo Quan could be said to be famous, and legends belonging to her were circulating everywhere, especially after "Luo Quan's Canon" came out. Ordinary people might not understand, but only professional musicians knew what this song meant.

It meant that even if Luo Quan only had this one piece in her life, it would be enough to be engraved in the history of human music, immortal!

(PS: "Pachelbel's Canon" was once engraved on the Golden Record of Voyager, regarded as one of the highest achievements in human music works for thousands of years, and sent into space.)

It's just that "Luo Quan's Canon" is still too young now, and the accumulated fame and awards are not enough, so it doesn't show much, but many industry insiders are quite envious and admire Luo Quan's talent.

A certain domestic composition master once said after listening to "Luo Quan's Canon": "If I could write a piece like this one day, it would be worth it even if I died immediately!"

It's just that these words were only circulated in the circle, and no one would hype them up, so not many people on the internet knew about it.

So although it was Luo Quan, Teacher Zhao couldn't show any teacher's airs in front of Luo Quan.

Not to mention her talent in composition, just the speed at which she clicked the mouse to produce music was enough for her to be his teacher!

"I'll be done soon, teacher. Can I trouble you and the two students to wait outside for a while?" Luo Quan used a negotiating tone.

Teacher Zhao nodded: "Of course, no problem. It just so happens that let them see how you operate and see if they can learn anything."

The two students also nodded, but for them, watching Luo Quan was much more comfortable than watching Luo Quan operate.

Luo Quan smiled without saying a word, just turned her head and continued to work.

With her speed, I'm afraid not many people in the world can see clearly how she is operating.

The facts were indeed so. Teacher Zhao only saw the mouse flying, the keyboard rattling, various pop-up windows appearing and disappearing on the screen, and the progress bar of the music growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such a situation had already exceeded the understanding of his teacher. He had been a teacher for more than ten years, plus his student career, which was twenty years, and he had never seen anyone produce music like this!

No wonder people say she is a genius; she just can't be compared with ordinary people! Teacher Zhao sighed in his heart.

After another ten minutes, the song production was completed. Luo Quan saved, pulled out the USB drive, and cleared the records very neatly.

Because the teacher and students were waiting to use it, she specifically accelerated her speed, and her wrists were a bit sore.

"Done?" Teacher Zhao asked Luo Quan, who had finished packing up.

Luo Quan nodded: "Done, teacher. You guys have class, I'll go first."

Luo Quan walked out of the recording studio and closed the door.

"This is too fast, teacher, I want to learn this." In the recording studio, the two students said to Teacher Zhao.

"You want to learn? I want to learn too!" Teacher Zhao said angrily: "People are already flying in the sky, and you two can't even walk yet, and you want to learn this.

Don't be so high-minded, lay the foundation first!"

……………………

In the corridor, Luo Quan sent the produced song "Stan" to Gao Liang.

A few hours ago, Seifert, who knew Luo Quan's speed well, had already started the song's promotional planning. He knew that at most in one day, Luo Quan would send him the finished product.

And the facts were indeed so. The new song arrived in less than half a day. Universal had also just finished the promotional tweet:

Nancy's matter is absolutely an unfortunate thing for all of us. We thank fans for their love and support for Gao Liang, but we also call on all fans to distinguish reality from fantasy and not confuse them.

Chasing stars requires rationality. When behavior exceeds the normal scope, it will cause harm to both idols and themselves. Gao Liang's sister was inspired by this incident and collaborated with Gao Liang on a song, which will be released later. I hope fans can remain rational and chase stars rationally!

Not long after the ad came out, Gao Liang and Luo Quan's new song "Stan" was put on the shelves.

Undoubtedly, this is a peak Rap work. Unlike the vast majority of vulgar Rap on the market, this is a song with thought and depth.

The lyrics outline a complete story scene in the form of a self-narration. Gao Liang's rap is divided into four sections, with emotions gradually deepening, from longing to resentment to hysteria, perfectly replicating the three stages of Nancy writing letters to him in reality. This form has appeared for the first time in Rap works in the past ten years!

And every time the rap ends, Luo Quan's lazy and calm singing part brings listeners a heavy musical atmosphere, making people more immersed in the story told by this song, which can be called the finishing touch.

And after the hysterical roar of Rap, it returns to calm at the end. Here, the tone of the narrator changes from a fan to an idol, that is, Gao Liang himself.

His love for fans hasn't changed at all. He still reads fans' letters and is happy because of fans' sharing, but always produces misunderstandings and misses because of various reasons.

The whole song ends abruptly in Gao Liang's awakening scolding. The story also completes a closed loop here. The six-minute-plus song has twists and turns that make people think they are watching a movie. Whether it is Luo Quan who wrote the lyrics or Gao Liang who sang, they have brought their level to perfection.

Less than an hour after the song was released, it rushed directly to the top of the B-chart, squeezing out "Don't Cry," which had occupied the top of the chart for several weeks. The score also reached a terrifying ten points, zero negative reviews!

The B-chart editor quickly posted an article, praising this song as the pinnacle of new-century Rap, truly taking into account both artistry and musicality, with impeccable depth and breadth, worthy of all rappers' learning and reference.

At the same time, the debate about Gao Liang finding a rap king seems to have no suspense.

Gao Liang has developed too fast in the past two years. Not only does his fame crush a large group of handsome male stars, but in terms of music, he also threatens a large group of old seniors in the rap world.

In terms of technique alone, Gao Liang is even better than many old seniors, but the shortcoming is that there are too few masterpieces, or too few awards.

But the emergence of "Stan" is enough to make up for all its shortcomings. This is a song destined to be great. Next year's Grammy Best Rap Award has also lost suspense early because of its appearance.

As for Luo Quan, the author of "Stan," there are not many people discussing her.

Because, does Luo Quan still need to be praised? She is now the eternal god in the pop music world. Whether it is her own album "Love" or "Long Live Rock and Roll" produced for the Lovemusic band, they are all masterpieces among masterpieces.

Other singers getting a Grammy is the singer's honor. Luo Quan getting a Grammy now seems to be the Grammy's honor.

Now she actually doesn't need the Grammy to measure her achievements. Of course, she herself definitely hopes that the more awards, the better. After all, no one will dislike having too many awards.

And precisely because she is too excellent, Luo Quan writing a work like "Stan" didn't make too many people feel surprised, because this is the level Luo Quan should have, and it's not particularly difficult to understand that she will produce even more excellent works in the future.

However, this "future" came a little too fast.

Not long after "Stan" was released, Disney Pictures started global promotion for the new film "Pirates of the Caribbean" invested and filmed by itself. The promotional content was a short clip of the movie content. In the title column, there was a row of eye-catching text: Movie theme song "He's a Pirate," created by Luo Quan!

When people clicked in and finished watching the content, they were once again conquered by Luo Quan's talent.

No one could have imagined that a delicate and pretty girl could write such a magnificent and blood-boiling piece of music!

Just as many media predicted, Luo Quan seemed to have entered an explosive period of overflowing talent!
