Chapter 347: Many Hands Really Make Light Work
"Luo Quan fans crowdfunding"
A few days ago, Luo Quan's new album was released and stayed on the Twitter trending list for a while, but there was almost no overlap between the fans using Twitter and the fans listening to Chinese songs, so it didn't cause much waves.
And this trending search appeared without warning. Looking at the title, Luo Quan's fans in Japan and the United States thought that her second Mandarin album had flopped again, and it was so miserable that she had to rely on fan crowdfunding to maintain her life.
As a result, after clicking in, they realized that it was crowdfunding initiated by Luo Quan's fans in China.
After understanding the reason for the crowdfunding, all the male fans were excited.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their own star has a peerless face, but doesn't know how to realize the maximization of human happiness. This has always been a pain in the hearts of fans.
Those female stars in Europe and America always wear whatever is hot. When they go on a show, they are all low-cut and super short skirts. Dancing is called sexy. Only Luo Quan likes to wrap herself tightly.
If it is said to be cultural differences, Chinese female stars should also show it. Various large-scale photos are also released from time to time.
It is not easy to say this directly. If male fans mention it, female fans will be unhappy.
However, this time it was Luo Quan who mentioned it herself, although there was a prerequisite, and judging from her context at the time, Luo Quan didn't believe that her fans had the ability to raise 100 million US dollars at all.
Indeed, this is an astronomical figure. The crowdfunding in China also fell into stagnation after three days of rapid progress, and currently only 80 million RMB has been raised, and the task progress is less than 20%.
However, Luo Quan ignored that there was a large group of hungry and thirsty fans overseas. They had been waiting for this moment for too long. Now, seeing the news of crowdfunding to shoot swimsuit photos, they were instantly boiling.
"I want to tell my mother, Luo Quan is finally willing to shoot swimsuit photos?"
"This is a great progress. Thanks to the Chinese netizens for letting Luo Quan make such a promise!"
"Who knows how to send money to this brother who organizes crowdfunding? I don't know how to use these two black and white grid pictures."
"That is China's quick payment method. There is also a bank card number below. Just hit the money directly."
"By the way, is this true or false? It feels a bit like a liar."
"It's true. It has been on the trending search several times in China. The organizer's information is fully disclosed, and many fans have participated."
"100 million US dollars feels a bit too much. Even if we add us, we may not be able to raise enough."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"Don't hesitate anymore, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop!"
Waking up in the morning and seeing her name hanging high on Twitter, Luo Quan felt a little wonderful.
Originally, seeing domestic fans crowdfunding more than 80 million, I thought it was basically hopeless. As a result, I don't know who sent this to the foreign network. Now fans all over the world know that their idol is going to crowdfund to shoot swimsuit photos.
However, the effect of doing this is quite significant. "Xiahou Dun who pecks eyes" updated the progress of the crowdfunding just now. The amount in the bank card soared from more than 80 million to more than 140 million. This speed of collecting money can only be described as outrageous!
Seeing this number, Luo Quan had to sigh that the people in Japan and the United States are still rich. In just half a day, they almost raised the amount of three days in China.
Originally, when she set this flag, the object of crowdfunding was specifically directed at domestic fans. As a result, fans all over the world participated.
Seeing the growth rate in front of her, maybe she can really let this group of lecherous fans raise the amount. So Luo Quan posted a tweet:
"At first, I didn't expect foreign fans to participate. The growth rate today is really surprising, but I forgot to add it at the time.
The deadline for this crowdfunding plan is after all ten songs of my album are released. Now I have released five songs. Next, I will rest for a day, and then release the remaining five songs in four days. That is to say, this crowdfunding has five days left to end."
This statement came out, and fan groups at home and abroad exploded. It takes five days to raise the remaining 500 million RMB, which is equivalent to more than 100 million a day. This is too difficult for people. This is intentionally not wanting to shoot swimsuit photos.
However, the more Luo Quan is like this, the more male fans don't want her to succeed.
Missing this opportunity, I don't know when I will encounter Luo Quan's brain being hot and making random promises. Luo Quan's three fans are mainly concentrated in China, Japan, and the United States. These are the three largest economies in the world. So many people don't believe that they can't raise 100 million in a day!
As a result, a crazy scene happened.
Originally, Luo Quan just wanted to limit a time for this crowdfunding. As a result, in the eyes of fans, this almost became an ultimatum, and the person involved also confirmed the authenticity of the crowdfunding.
Although foreign fans have money and are willing to spend money on stars they like, they will not spend money confusedly. They have to wait until confirmation before taking action.
And after Luo Quan's explanation was issued, all the fans who were still watching didn't hesitate anymore and took out their wife's money.
At the same time, Gao Liang, who had just finished the first phase of 《Titanic》 shooting, was reading at home in New York, mainly to catch up with the school's progress. Recently, he has been filming and touring, and hasn't been to school for a long time.
Just as he was fascinated, there was a movement outside the house. Gao Liang looked up and found that someone was driving, mostly Seifert.
"So it's you two!" Gao Liang opened the door and found that besides Seifert, there was Fred.
"Coming to me in the middle of the night again, is it for my sister again?" Gao Liang vaguely remembered that Fred also visited late at night a while ago, "Is it possible that the internet is spreading that my sister is in love again?"
"That's not it, but it's more explosive than this!" Seifert was excited: "Your sister is going to shoot swimsuit photos!"
"Oh... Hmm!!!" Gao Liang's eyes widened like the bell on a cow's neck, "Say it again!"
"Your sister is going to shoot swimsuit photos." Seifert handed the phone directly to Gao Liang. The screen showed Luo Quan live broadcasting, and below was a lot of text description. The words "swimsuit photo" were also marked in red font, enlarged and bolded.
With pictures and truth, Gao Liang believed it: "Holyshit! It's actually true. When did my sister become so open?"
Seifert shrugged helplessly: "You don't know your sister's personality. She can say anything when her mouth is slippery. This time, she set a flag during the live broadcast, and her fans took it seriously."
"So, you came to find me..." Gao Liang glanced at Fred next to him, who was tangled, excited and anxious.
Seifert laughed: "This kid, neither wants so many people to see your sister's swimsuit, nor does he want to see it himself, so he is very tangled. He called to ask my idea.
I don't know what to do, so I came to you to discuss it."
"What do you take me for? I am her brother!" Gao Liang looked righteous, and then took out his phone: "Let me see how much money has been raised."
Seifert wanted to punch this fake serious guy: "Is this how you are a brother?"
Gao Liang was speechless: "It's just a swimsuit, not some private photo. What's there to be embarrassed about? In the past, your family went to Hawaii beach for vacation every year. Haven't you seen your sister's swimsuit?"
Fred and Seifert were awakened by a word, and it seemed to make sense.
"This only raised 35 million US dollars, which is far from enough." Gao Liang said and looked at his account. He still had 100 million US dollars, but this was earned by his hard work on tour. He was still reluctant to take it all out.
Fred smiled shyly: "I have some spare money here, it should be enough."
Who knew Seifert interrupted directly: "Stupid, you give so much money alone, and someone will definitely dig your identity. If it is exposed, how will you face Luo Quan in the future?"
Fred nodded: "That makes sense, then give less?"
Seifert Chen audited: "I mean, let's three raise 5 million US dollars first, and hit it with different accounts. After all, there are still a few days before the deadline, and there are so many local tyrants who like Luo Quan. Maybe by this time tomorrow, it will be enough! Then we three don't have to worry about being exposed!"
Gao Liang decided directly: "That's the truth, let's apply for a new account first."
At 12 o'clock New York time, three men completed a conspiracy.
At this time, Luo Quan had just finished lunch and was resting on the bed.
"Ah-choo!" Luo Quan suddenly sneezed.
"This is someone thinking about our squad leader." On the bed next door, Lin Yizhu said such a sentence.
Lu Yao retorted: "Just kidding, there are many people thinking about the squad leader. There are more than a dozen in our class alone. If this is really the case, how many sneezes does the squad leader have to sneeze a day?"
Luo Quan rubbed her nose: "You guys have enough, you can pull so much even if you sneeze."
"Squad leader, can your crowdfunding to shoot swimsuits really succeed?" Zhang Yun, who was lying on the table doing homework, looked up and asked.
Lin Yizhu laughed and said: "I just looked at it, it's already 260 million US dollars, almost half."
Luo Quan shook her head: "It is estimated that it is just this much. My fans are about the same grade as me. Where do they have so much spare money? This is 100 million US dollars, not 100 million yen."
Zhang Yun was a little puzzled: "It shouldn't be. The squad leader has more than 3 million Bilibili fans, more than 20 million Weibo fans, and nearly 20 million Twitter fans. Even if there are duplicates, there are at least tens of millions of fans. It's not much to share."
Luo Quan laughed: "Once you look at it, you don't know much about fan numbers. The water in this thing is too big. I have 30 million followers on Weibo, and 300,000 active members is already burning high incense and accumulating great virtue.
Although Bilibili has less water, there are more students. I can't even afford the albums I release, and crowdfunding me to shoot photos, it's strange if their parents don't scold them if they know!
The situation abroad is slightly more complicated, but the truth is about the same. Fan numbers, no matter how many there are, are not credible."
Lu Yao was curious: "So, this crowdfunding can't succeed?"
Luo Quan spread her hands: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I'm lucky and meet a local tyrant who throws thousands of dollars, just to see me wearing a swimsuit."
Lin Yizhu shook her head: "Half a billion US dollars is nearly 350 million RMB. I haven't even heard of such a prodigal son. Even the two great sons of Ye Kai and Si Cong can't reach this level."
The facts are indeed like this. Although Luo Quan sometimes has a hot brain and speaks a little floating, the basic logic is still there. The amount of 100 million US dollars is really an impossible task for fans to crowdfund.
Such an order of magnitude of money, even for many listed companies, is an astronomical figure. China, Japan, and the United States are indeed the top three economies in the world, but the wealth proportion of the social population is quite distorted. The poor are poor to death, and the rich are rich to death. How can it be like countries like Norway and Switzerland.
Therefore, don't look at the fact that nearly half of the amount has been raised, but Luo Quan knows in her heart that this is almost the limit of her fans.
Speaking of which, she still has a little pride in her heart. Compared to these top-tier domestic stars, although her fans don't talk much, they are quite energetic when they really encounter things, although the starting point is a bit unhealthy. If it were for her music works, it would be great.
Of course, she is not criticizing the lecherous behavior of her fans. Who doesn't like beauties wearing swimsuits? Moreover, this was also proposed by herself. No matter who you blame, you can't blame it on her fans.
The crowdfunding thing is basically like this. The frequency of her opening Bilibili is much less than a few days ago. She is now more concerned about her new album.
Two new songs were released yesterday, and they were still praised. The sales of digital albums finally exceeded 3 million. The number of comments for each song is about 100,000. In the past few days, cover versions on short video apps have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
What is even more commendable is that whether it is public opinion or industry evaluation, it is also unanimous praise for her album.
The two have always been somewhat separated in the past. The public likes good-sounding ones, while the judges pay more attention to musicality. When a phenomenal song comes out, the comments on both sides usually diverge.
Except for some veteran singer-songwriters who haven't moved for a long time, only Luo Quan can make these two groups reach a consensus.
However, for those voices shouting for her to take Chinese songs to the world, Luo Quan can only express that she is powerless.
This is not within her ability, belonging to different cultural circles, Luo Quan never expects to be able to do this.
So. For these gradually rising voices, Luo Quan has never responded.
After a day of rest, fans have been urging Luo Quan's sixth song on Weibo.
This time Luo Quan didn't drag it to the evening, but chose to release it in the morning.
The released song is 《The Seventh Chapter of the Night》, which seems to be the same type of song as 《Nocturne》.
In fact, it is indeed the case. ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
