Chapter 375: The Troubles of Young Gao Liang

Miss Luo Quan has no friends in the United States; she lay in the room for a few hours and didn't know where to go to play.

Gao Liang was practicing singing in the recording studio, Seifert had been dealing with reporters and media at the company, and Fred had gone to Italy a few days ago.

Fortunately, the entertainment methods of modern young people are relatively simple; a mobile phone connected to the internet can solve everything.

However, playing with mobile phones is playing with mobile phones, but you cannot leak your itinerary on social platforms.

She came to the United States this time, firstly to celebrate Gao Liang's birthday, and secondly to be a mysterious guest for his debut anniversary.

If everyone knew she had already come to the United States, would this mysterious guest still have suspense?

Although there was no suspense in the first place, this sense of surprise still needs to be maintained; after all, the combination of the sister and brother is not low in popularity in the United States, and the songs they sang together before also dominated the Billboard for a long time.

The only pity is that the sister and brother have not performed on the same stage yet.

You know, pop chorus plus hip-hop is the most common music combination these days; many pop singers have collaborated with hip-hop singers to release singles.

But in terms of music quality, the collaboration between Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang belongs to the ceiling level; whether it is "Love the Way You Lie" or "Señorita," they are quite catchy divine songs, and there is also a divine song like "Stan" to support the connotation.

So much so that on the Billboard, Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang were once the pop combination with the highest popularity and sales.

However, the pop trend of the whole world is changing at all times; since last year, hip-hop culture has been popular, and black singers have set off a rap craze all over the world.

Gao Liang was able to become popular so quickly, besides being handsome and liked by young girls, on the other hand, he also took the "ride" of hip-hop.

However, as a large number of musicians began to follow the trend of creating hip-hop songs, the market was immediately impacted by uneven works, and inspiration, rhyme, and rhythm were also drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The result of this is that the style of plagiarism and borrowing is prevalent, and listeners are also a bit aesthetically fatigued.

Therefore, as 2017 is about to end, the popularity of hip-hop finally appeared an inevitable decline, and what replaced it was electronic music.

In fact, electronic music was extremely prosperous in the 1990s; one of its forms once swept the world, and I don't know how many handsome men and beautiful women once danced with it.

That's right, it's disco music.

In China, this word is a word full of the sense of the era, just like the urban-rural junction, production team, and bell-bottoms.

It is rarely seen now, but back then it was truly a common entertainment activity for the whole country.

However, with the popularity of mobile phones, the internet, and computers, the lively disco music was gradually replaced by more soothing pop music; now, whoever still listens to disco music will definitely be covered with the word "earthy" on their forehead.

However, although disco music has declined, electronic music has been developing, and the situation has always been quite good.

Disco halls have not disappeared, but have changed a name—bar; here you can still listen to dynamic and explosive music and dance.

In disco halls, you sometimes have to learn some dance steps, but there is no stress in bars; even if you jump around like a lunatic, there is nothing, because everyone is like this.

Unlike the "notorious" disco music, electronic music, although noisy, has quite high evaluation and popularity, and there have been good works emerging in recent years, and it can be seen from time to time in the Grammys.

However, it has always been in a state of "not enough to be better than the top, but better than the bottom" in the past few years, and it is more than one grade worse than hip-hop.

However, since last year, electronic music has begun to show a trend of becoming popular.

Taking Miss Luo Quan's release of the song "Faded" as a node, electronic music appeared the first song in the new century with global clicks exceeding 100 million on YouTube.

And "Seve" truly refreshed YouTube's click record, truly setting off a global craze.

Although this craze is dancing the ghost step, it indeed brought huge traffic and attention to electronic music.

Most importantly, there are capitalists who have taken a fancy to this cake of electronic music, feeling that there is a very large market hidden in it, which is profitable.

So capital was injected, giving musicians the motivation to create, and then excellent works brought market attention and praise, capitalists made money, and increased investment.

Unknowingly, the electronic music market entered a virtuous cycle of rapid development.

In the past, among the top 100 singers on the Billboard, at most five or six DJ names could be seen, and most of them were joint names in cooperation with other singers; there were very few who could carry a work alone.

But in the past six months, there have been three or four times more DJ names than before, and such a change absolutely cannot be described as a flash in the pan.

Electronic music has truly turned red, and it already has a trend of sweeping the world.

It is worth mentioning that "Faded," as an important node for the red-turning of electronic music, although it failed to win the Grammy, it is an indisputable milestone in the hearts of pan-electronic music fans, and it is also the work that best reflects her ethereal and wonderful voice in the hearts of Miss Luo Quan's fans.

Just like the lyrics in this song, her singing voice is as if it came from the ancient Atlantis, dreamlike and unreachable.

But Miss Luo Quan only used "Faded" as a tool to attract attention at that time, and she didn't pay special attention to it; after it became popular, she didn't pay attention to the field of electronic music again.

Now looking back, the original cake in this field has been divided.

The good news is that she is turning back to do electronic music now, which is not considered "clout chasing."

Gao Liang's debut anniversary this time can also be considered an opportunity for her to test the water, release an electronic music song, and see the market reaction.

Of course, in fact, when Seifert asked her to write a song for Gao Liang, he also mentioned whether she could try electronic music.

As a world-class music giant, Universal is quite sensitive to the market trend, and also has a premonition that next year is very likely to be the year belonging to electronic music.

The two sides hit it off, so this time, besides making a pop song for Gao Liang to thank his fans, Miss Luo Quan also made a quite dynamic and brainwashing electronic music, and it is a chorus of men and women.

Of course, she has to do the DJ thing at that time; although Gao Liang learns things fast, it is still difficult for him to learn to scratch discs suddenly, and Miss Luo Quan can handle it with a thought.

Gao Liang's birthday plus debut anniversary remained high on Twitter trends, with tens of thousands of tweets every day.

The electronic big screen in Times Square was also swiped by Gao Liang; Gao Liang appeared on the big screen every afternoon, and there were various celebratory words.

And on the 17th, Madison Square Garden was overcrowded, and Gao Liang's female fans gathered from the United States and even all over the world held his cheering boards and shouted his name.

Miss Luo Quan herself had never seen such a scene.

She thought that the fans she met when she returned to Japan to attend the Record Awards half a year ago were enthusiastic enough.

But compared to Gao Liang's female fans in front of her, it can only be considered a dwarf.

Such a large crowd congestion directly caused the traffic on 34th Street in Manhattan to be paralyzed, and the New York police spent a whole morning dispersing the fanatical fans.

It's not dispersing, just letting them leave the roadway, but the sidewalk became more crowded, and even squeezed out of Madison Square Garden.

Causing such congestion would cause public opinion to condemn it both domestically and abroad, but when they learned that the reason for the congestion was Gao Liang's birthday, more than half of the people chose to be tolerant.

No girl can refuse this handsome young man who looks like Apollo reincarnated, and many boys might be jealous of him, but they can't stand that he has a sister; loving the house and its crow, they will also have more tolerance for him, after all, he is their own brother-in-law.

As a result, although the news discussion about Gao Liang causing traffic paralysis online was quite high, the negative comments were relatively few, and more were sighing at Gao Liang's explosive popularity.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that few people knew about Miss Luo Quan's itinerary to the United States this time; if her male fans knew that she was going to be a guest today, it is estimated that the number of people who came would not be much less than Gao Liang's female fans.

Taking advantage of the traffic returning to normal, Gao Liang and Miss Luo Quan were picked up by Seifert in an inconspicuous black sedan and entered Madison Square Garden.

"Look, these are all fans who love you deeply." Seifert said to Gao Liang while driving.

The material of the sedan screen is quite special; you can see the outside, but the outside cannot see the inside.

Along the way, the screams didn't stop; although I don't know what they were shouting, the enthusiasm was absolutely visible to the naked eye.

"This is what you call an international superstar; more than half of my male fans are 'free-riders,' preferring to spend 5 yuan to buy pirated recording albums with garbage sound quality, rather than spending more money to listen to the genuine version." Miss Luo Quan looked at it, and it was real-name envy.

If her male fans were so fanatical, tsk tsk, she would be the world's richest person under twenty directly.

"Fans being too fanatical is not a good thing; have you forgotten the female fan who committed suicide before?" Gao Liang felt lingering fear when mentioning this matter.

This misunderstanding caused by the fact that the American express company was indeed lagging behind almost smashed his career, which was in full swing, directly into the abyss.

Fortunately, he had written back to this female fan, otherwise the consequences would really be hard to say.

Of course, facts have proved that friendly interaction with fans has benefits; this will leave fewer handles, and later there was a song written by his sister, and the huge crisis of his career became a point to improve his reputation.

However, while turning danger into safety, it also made him have a profound understanding of the feelings of fans for idols.

As an idol, he is like a thermometer, and fans are a pot of hot water.

The more enthusiastic the fans are, the higher his popularity will be.

But if the enthusiasm is too much, it is easy to explode.

And he cannot grasp this enthusiasm of fans; unless he does something out of the ordinary or loses points, fans will only love him more and more.

To be honest, Gao Liang sometimes can't sleep at night because of this matter.

There are many reasons for celebrity anxiety, either because the new album is not bought by anyone, or because there is no endorsement to make money.

It is quite rare for Gao Liang to be anxious because of his high popularity.

"By the way, sister, will you worry that your fans are too enthusiastic and do some extreme behaviors?" Gao Liang looked at the fans outside the window blankly and asked Miss Luo Quan curiously.

"Why worry?" Miss Luo Quan didn't expect her brother to be troubled by this matter, "As a celebrity, you should worry that your fans are not enthusiastic enough.

Think about it, when you are singing and dancing on stage, your throat is almost hoarse, but your fans are like wooden chickens, how awkward that would be.

Moreover, the more enthusiastic the fans are, the more it shows that they love you; this is a good thing that many 18th-tier artists can't hope for."

"Is that what you think?" Gao Liang frowned, "But I always worry that they will do something extreme because they like me too much."

Miss Luo Quan heard Gao Liang's worry, smiled, and opened up: "I know what you are worried about.

Before, there were male fans who left me messages, saying that if they didn't marry me, they would die if they couldn't become my boyfriend.

But I have never paid attention to them.

When fans first start to fan a star, they will experience a period of fanaticism, but as time goes by, this fanaticism will gradually become rational.

Learning and life will quickly divert their attention, and when they look back, this fanatical state will no longer appear.

Just like those male fans who said they wouldn't marry me, they also said the same thing to other female stars, and I am also one of the thousands of wives they have.

Of course, it's not that there are no extreme fans who have a strong possessiveness for stars and even follow and harass the star's life in private.

For this kind of fan, just call the police directly, because this is not normal star-chasing behavior at all.

Idols are indeed products facing fans; on stage and in front of the camera, you can use all your skills to please them.

But this does not mean that in private, after you take off the idol's coat, you must satisfy these fans without a bottom line."

"Why can you see it so thoroughly?" Gao Liang looked at his sister curiously.

Miss Luo Quan shrugged: "Because I am not an idol, so I am a bystander.

Idols can't live without fans, and I can lock fans through works. Their liking for me starts with talent, and then they are loyal to beauty.

So I have the courage to refuse when facing them."

Gao Liang's face turned black: "Doesn't this mean I'm eating by my face?"

Seifert corrected Gao Liang's wrong idea hurriedly: "Don't look down on 'little white faces'; I want to eat by my face but I can't eat it.

Don't look at me as the Minister of Marketing of Universal Records now, but I always look forward to a super rich woman who can see the fragility hidden under my workaholic appearance and give me a chance to eat soft rice."

"You can roll to the side!" Gao Liang gave Seifert a white eye, "I might have been popular by my face before, but next year, after my movie is released, everyone will see my strength.

I found that I have high talent in acting; in the future, there will be a place for me in the Oscar Best Actor position; don't bully the young and poor!"

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "Having ambition is a good thing, but you must strive to carry it through to the end.

Don't bully the young and poor now, then bully the middle-aged and poor, bully the old and poor, and finally, it becomes 'the dead are the greatest'."

After speaking, Miss Luo Quan and Seifert laughed, and Gao Liang had a black line on his face. ===== CHAPTER 376 =====
