Chapter 346: Overseas

The National Day holiday ended, and most students, after experiencing this third-longest holiday, returned to school unwillingly.

A lot of things happened in these few days, such as the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala breaking records in ratings, rebounding, and Miss Luo Quan becoming famous in China.

Then not long after, Miss Luo Quan released a new album, with explosive quality, causing another wave of purchasing and discussion across the internet.

Another thing is that 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 was released. This fantasy masterpiece attracted many of Miss Luo Quan's fans in China with the gimmick of Miss Luo Quan's composition and without any original IP. It gained over 20 million box office on the first day of release, broke 100 million in three days, and the Douban score was as high as 8.5.

And in the United States, 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 also won over 70 million US dollars at the box office, which was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The Rotten Tomatoes freshness was 90%, which is equivalent to 90% of people thinking this movie is very good and meets expectations.

Besides this, there was nothing particularly big. Miss Luo Quan's three new songs have begun to sweep the major domestic lists, and Bilibili and Douyin have also begun to cover them overwhelmingly.

Because Penguin is very strict with copyright, Miss Luo Quan's songs can only be covered and cannot be used as BGM for videos. However, using the covered version as BGM for videos is okay, but it doesn't taste like that when listening to it.

Having been huddled in the recording studio for the past few days, Miss Luo Quan did not stay in the dormitory after returning to the station, but walked on the school playground, by the way, to lose weight.

The courses for freshmen are relatively easy. In fact, art courses are relatively easy. Most of what is learned in class is theoretical knowledge, and more depends on the students' own practice and practice after class.

Therefore, at school, the time after class is far more than the time in class. However, how many students will practice seriously after class is unknown.

Anyway, Miss Luo Quan herself doesn't practice very often. Occasionally, when she has nothing to do, she goes to the piano room to play the piano for a while and practice her feel.

After walking on the playground for a while, Miss Luo Quan met Lin Zheyuan head-on. The latter was wearing a sports jacket and trousers, panting and running into the playground.

"Yo, you're here to lose weight too." Miss Luo Quan greeted with a smile.

"Lose what, in a while it will be physical fitness test. The physical fitness test for juniors and seniors is particularly strict. If it doesn't meet the standard, you won't even be able to get your graduation certificate!" Lin Zheyuan said with helplessness when talking about this. As the most talented photographer in the history of Shangyi, he originally thought he could get some preferential treatment from his mentor to avoid this deadly 1000-meter long-distance run.

However, a word from his mentor made his heart cool by half: "Don't think that just because you are my apprentice, you don't have to take the physical fitness test. If your body doesn't meet the standard, you will be held back. No one is useful!"

If it were the body of high school that stayed up all night without being sleepy, he could easily run within four minutes.

And now, even running and walking fast, six minutes is enough, and after running, basically half a life is left.

In several exams, he also saw classmates fainting while running. If he were to really run at a speed that meets the standard, he would probably end up like this.

Fortunately, there is still a while before the physical fitness test. Practicing at this time is better than doing nothing.

Miss Luo Quan looked at Lin Zheyuan with a strange smile: "You look quite good, you won't even be able to run 1000 meters in four and a half minutes, right? No way, no way?"

Lin Zheyuan immediately retorted: "It's just that I've been obsessed with art for the past few years and neglected exercise. Back then, I was the fourth place in the 1000-meter long-distance run in the grade!"

Miss Luo Quan chuckled: "I only know that the champion, runner-up, and third place have medals. Does the fourth place have one too? A reward of an iron plate?"

"Too lazy to argue with you." Lin Zheyuan waved his hand and ended the topic. Suddenly he looked up at Miss Luo Quan: "I heard that you are going to shoot a swimsuit photo album, right? Do you need help?"

Miss Luo Quan curled her lips: "You think too beautifully. It's not certain whether to shoot or not. Besides, even if you want to shoot, you won't find a male photographer."

Lin Zheyuan was dumbfounded: "What's the point of this? You can see it sooner or later, and I didn't recommend myself. I mean, do you want me to find a female photographer for you."

Miss Luo Quan was a little more serious: "Do you know many?"

Lin Zheyuan shook his fingers: "Not many, but I just happen to have a senior sister. She is the second most talented student in the history of the photography department of Shangyi. She has a good relationship with me. Now she is the designated photographer for major domestic women's magazines, and her technology is quite hard."

"Second highest, who is the first highest?"

"Does this still need to be said? Isn't this obvious?" Lin Zheyuan proudly gave a thumbs up, and then leaned towards himself.

Miss Luo Quan disdained: "Still quite good at bragging, practice more yourself, be careful that you, the first genius of the photography department, won't even be able to graduate!"

Lin Zheyuan smiled helplessly: "Then do you want my senior sister's contact information? Although 100 million US dollars is not a small goal, I always feel that this thing can be done!"

Miss Luo Quan looked strange: "You didn't go to contribute, did you?"

Lin Zheyuan smiled without saying a word.

Miss Luo Quan looked at him with disgust: "Send me your senior sister's contact information later."

After speaking, she turned and left.

On the way back to the dormitory, Miss Luo Quan opened the Bilibili crowdfunding column again. She had collected this column herself, and every time she entered Bilibili, she would look at how much was crowdfunded, which was more attentive than the sales data of her new album.

As the popularity became higher and higher, the popularity of the crowdfunding amount also increased faster and faster. Now it has broken 40 million, and more and more people have participated.

Such a huge sum of money in the hands of one person is obviously not reassuring. "Xiahou Dun who pecks eyes", who initiated the crowdfunding, also announced his home address positioning, which is in a luxury residential area in Shenzhen, and cannot be moved into unless it is super rich.

With this positioning as a bottom line, the fundraiser also felt a little more relieved.

However, after the initial enthusiasm, when everyone calmed down and calculated, they found that relying on these die-hard fans who are willing to spend money, they could not raise such a large amount of 100 million US dollars.

Miss Luo Quan is so popular in Japan, selling more than 30 million copies of three Japanese albums, each of which is about several hundred RMB, and the final income is less than 100 million US dollars.

Although there are many people in China, they still can't compare to Miss Luo Quan's national popularity in Japan.

Therefore, 100 million US dollars is an absolutely impossible task for otaku in China.

After thinking clearly, many people in the comment section began to retreat. Although the crowdfunding amount is still rising, the public opinion environment has obviously become bad.

Fortunately, there are not many people shouting to refund money so far. Since they are willing to take out the money, it means they are all sincerely liking Miss Luo Quan, at least they are sincere lecherous fans. Anyway, even if they can't raise so much, they can refund, so those who have paid didn't want to get the money back immediately because they recognized the reality.

And Miss Luo Quan was indeed very surprised to see that so much money was raised in just two days, but in fact, thinking from another angle, this is equivalent to fans making data for their own stars.

It's just that those fans spend money to buy products endorsed by stars, or buy singles, movie tickets, etc., while her fans just want to see photos.

In this way, this data of more than 50 million doesn't seem so outrageous, because for these domestic little fresh meats, fans crowdfunding to make data is all about breaking 100 million.

For example, before, a top-tier male idol in China named Li Feng, the new single 《Light》 and Miss Luo Quan's first Mandarin album 《18》 were on the shelves almost at the same time. The former's sales crushed the latter, and finally sold a super high sales amount of 140 million.

This is the data made by fans crowdfunding. The quality of the song is actually not important. What is important is whose song it is.

"Sure enough, the consumption power of girls is still stronger than boys." Miss Luo Quan smiled and closed Bilibili.

This crowdfunding also looks like thunder and rain, and it is estimated that 200 million RMB is the limit at most.

That night, Miss Luo Quan released two new songs: 《Listen to Mom》, 《Ten Years》.

They are still two good songs with explosive quality. The adjectives that can be used to praise Miss Luo Quan have been used rotten in these few days, just like the situation when 《Love》 released new songs before, not one is pulling hips!

First is 《Listen to Mom》. Like 《Nocturne》, rap and pop are combined, but the style is completely different. The former is cheerful and warm, full of love for mother.

Just like she said when facing the Guinness World Record certification that she was the "most beautiful human face", in this world, the most beautiful human being is always mother.

It can be seen that Miss Luo Quan is full of respect and love for her mother. It is a pity that Miss Luo Quan didn't mention her mother much during the interview, and there are not many related photos.

However, in the public's imagination, this must be a beautiful, virtuous, and good mother who knows how to raise a daughter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to teach such an excellent daughter.

For these guesses of netizens, Miss Luo Quan herself feels that it is basically eight or nine out of ten. The reason why she was able to get into the University of Tokyo in the past is also thanks to her mother's earnest teachings.

It's a pity that whenever she encounters things related to her father, her brain will lose reason. Fortunately, these don't need to be worried about anymore.

And 《Ten Years》 is a love song with quite a taste.

The lyrics of this song, without a complete emotional experience from hot love to separation to reunion to relief, are really difficult to write.

In other words, the lyrics of this song are like its title. Without ten years of emotional experience, how can there be such a bone-deep realization.

As a result, rumors that Miss Luo Quan had been in love but was deeply hurt again arose.

Fans like to brainstorm, and arranging plots for songs is also a relatively common phenomenon. Miss Luo Quan had encountered such a situation before. After releasing 《My Heart Will Go On》, fans directly arranged a life-and-death love for her comparable to 《Butterfly Lovers》. The story was compiled in a serious manner, and she was quite fascinated by it.

However, this thing is wrong from the root. No matter how well written, it is just a story.

Originally, she wanted to clarify again, but she always felt that clarifying every time she released a love song would be a bit like "there is no silver three hundred taels here", and clarifying every time was quite tiring.

It was not easy for fans to find something to self-indulge, and it was indeed a bit cruel to break this bubble with her own hands, so let it go.

However, the silence of the person involved this time made this rumor even more grounded. For a time, the matter of Miss Luo Quan's mysterious lover was spread on Weibo.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this story is made up, because there is no man in the world who would be stupid enough to break up with Miss Luo Quan.

"Squad leader, you really didn't fall in love?" In the dormitory, Lin Yizhu questioned Miss Luo Quan with red eyes.

Just now she was looking at Weibo netizens, compiling a love story for 《Ten Years》, which was touching, and it made her cry.

As a result, when she came back and asked, Miss Luo Quan directly said it was all fake, please believe in rumors.

Miss Luo Quan raised her hands in a surrender gesture: "I really haven't talked about it. When I was a child, a group of classmates saw that I was a golden hair, and everyone felt that I was weird. Who could look at me?

In high school, I went to a girls' school. Where can I find boys to fall in love with?"

Lin Yizhu didn't believe it: "It sounds like it's made up? Even if it's a child, will you have a good impression when you see a beautiful girl?"

Miss Luo Quan was completely helpless: "Okay, I admit, I talked about it. At that time, I was six years old and took a fancy to a two-year-old little brother next door. That was really the most handsome boy I have ever seen in my life, more handsome than my brother, and directly blinded my eyes..."

Lu Yao laughed out loud: "Yizhu, don't force the squad leader. Look, you forced the squad leader to start talking nonsense."

Zhang Yun laughed: "How come this boy's persona is similar to a brainless female frequency novel I've read? It's also a boy who has been handsome and inhuman since he was a child. He was handsome to death by the doctor and nurse who delivered him when he was born."

"Really not." Lin Yizhu sighed.

"You sound very disappointed." Miss Luo Quan looked at her dumbfounded, but thinking about it, it is normal for girls to gossip, and Lin Yizhu is the most gossiping one among them, asking questions everywhere like a curious baby all day long.

It is relatively simple to explain to people in the same dormitory, but it is not so easy to enlarge it to the whole internet, and it cannot be solved by clarifying once or twice.

People will only believe what they are willing to believe. What people don't believe, even if it is the truth, will be considered fake.

Miss Luo Quan's emotional story is a hot topic on Weibo recently. Various versions and plots emerge one after another, and even many short stories have been released.

Miss Luo Quan didn't look at it. Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't involve illegal content.

In general, this kind of story is good for the hot sales of her album. Taken together, 《Ten Years》 is currently the second best-selling song, second only to the title track 《Nocturne》.

If the public really accepts this kind of 《Song》 more, she, who has always been relatively utilitarian, will consider whether to release more songs of this type in the future.

Miss Luo Quan felt that she seemed to have found the wealth password.

At the same time, Miss Luo Quan, who had been silent on the Twitter trend list for a while, once again became the focus of attention of foreign netizens.

However, this time it was not because of the new album that she was on the Twitter trending search.

Pd. Thanks to book friends Jiu Ba Da Ka and L224 for the book coins, thank you! ===== CHAPTER 347 =====
