Chapter 38: Celebration

"Congratulations to Miss Sister Quan Shui for record sales breaking one million!"

At the banquet, San Mu twisted open the cork of the champagne, and the brown liquid gushed out, causing everyone at the table to applaud and cheer.

Luo Quan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans today, with a smile on her beautiful face: "This record sale is the credit of everyone's hard work. Without your help, I wouldn't have achieved such results. Thank you all!"

Saying that, Luo Quan stood up and bowed to everyone. Usually, Luo Quan rarely 'performs this great ceremony,' but perhaps it was because she had been in Japan for a while, so she followed the customs of the country.

Director Shi Cun, who was sitting opposite, smiled heartily: "Miss Sister Quan Shui is too modest. Your talent is obvious to all. We just did some basic work."

"By the way, how is the track preparation for your first official album? The company attaches great importance to it and is looking forward to it."

"More than half of it has been created, but it will take a while to complete it all."

Director Shi Cun nodded: "Well, you don't have to be too anxious. The popularity of 'Sister Quan Shui' is still being maintained. Ensuring the quality of the songs is the most important thing. If you encounter any problems in work and life, just tell San Mu. If I can solve it, I will definitely find a way for you."

After the leader's speech, the celebration banquet officially started, and dishes with overflowing fragrance were served by waiters.

This was the first time Luo Quan had a big meal in a Michelin-level restaurant. She had never heard of many dishes, but the taste was really good.

Although she is insulated from all seafood and river food, she is destined to have no mouth to taste the most delicious dishes. However, the remaining dishes are enough for her to enjoy.

After eating and drinking, Director Shi Cun also said a few words of encouragement to Luo Quan alone, and then promised benefits such as media resource tilt and appropriate increase in contract dividends, which can be considered as wanting to deepen Luo Quan's good impression of the company.

As one of the heads of Sony Music, Director Shi Cun has always been generous and will never talk about ideals with anyone first. Only by satisfying the artist's economic needs can there be conditions to continue talking. Everything else is nonsense.

After that, Luo Quan carried a stack of packed fresh dishes and got into San Mu's car.

These were all ordered by Luo Quan from the restaurant separately. Now there are two mouths waiting to be fed at home. If she goes home empty-handed, she is afraid that she will be scolded by Seeing Wen Xia pointing at her spine.

This time, it took her twenty days for her record sales to break one million, one day short of breaking Xingye Ying's record. It's a pity.

However, Luo Quan didn't care too much. When her second record comes out, the record thing should become very worthless.

The sales of the mini-album "Sister Quan Shui" have reached nearly 1.1 million so far, and it has been certified as a diamond record. The total sales are expected to be around 2 million, which is a double diamond record.

Such results might not be called amazing in the past, but recently, it has been one of the hottest records with top sales.

In recent years, the Japanese music scene has been disconnected. The world's second music market, which was once, is full of a large number of boy group and girl group chart-topping songs. The quality is really unbearable compared to the past.

Although the sales of each album or single are hundreds of thousands, people with discerning eyes know how much water is in it.

Anyway, I don't know which 'genius' came up with the 'buy album to unlock benefits' activity. 2 copies get an autograph, 10 copies get a voice, 100 copies get an exclusive video, making some 'wealthy' fans buy one or two thousand copies at a time!

And such a phenomenon has gradually become the norm in today's Japanese music scene. And even in such a situation, records that can break one million in sales are few and far between, which shows how high the recognition of Luo Quan's mini-album is among the public.

Come to think of it, she should also thank Avex Music. This group of idiots brought her rhythm, and they were kicked out in less than a day. Although it caused an impact on her reputation, it also made her popularity soar by several levels.

After the truth was clarified, I don't know if those who scolded her felt guilty, or if the fans celebrated and vented their purchases, her record sales were even better than before. Until the day before yesterday, the growth rate of record sales was positive.

Perhaps this is the so-called 'misfortune is where blessing lies.' However, Luo Quan herself would rather have less of such misfortune.

A ten-minute drive, Luo Quan arrived at the building in a blink of an eye.

Walking to the door of the apartment, Luo Quan just inserted the key, and the door was violently opened. Seeing Wen Xia looked at her with teary eyes as if waiting for the owner to go home, with bright saliva on her bright red lips: "Luo Luo, I'm about to starve to death!"

Luo Quan took out the bag hidden behind her: "Come, come, dinner is served!"

Seeing Wen Xia took a deep breath: "Wow, so fragrant!"

"This is Michelin restaurant cuisine, can it not be fragrant?"

"Another Michelin?" Liu Sheng Chunzi walked over with a mask on her face.

Luo Quan was speechless: "Still another Michelin, do you often go to high-end restaurants to eat?"

Liu Sheng Chunzi tore off the mask and shook her head: "That's not true, but my family has a chef who used to be the head chef at a three-star Michelin restaurant."

Luo Quan curled her lips: "Then that's really wronged you. The restaurant I packed is a one-star Michelin."

Chunzi showed a smile: "Actually, I think the egg fried rice Quan-chan fried is better. After eating it once last time, I'm still craving it now. Why don't you fry it for me sometime?"

"No time recently. The company is urging me to release a new album, so let's talk about it after a while."

Seeing Wen Xia bit her chopsticks and was surprised: "Less than a month, and you are releasing a new album again?"

Luo Quan lied without blushing or heartbeat: "Some were written before, plus some written during this period, enough to make up an album."

Seeing Wen Xia's tone was as sour as if she had eaten a green lemon: "I really envy you geniuses with explosive inspiration. You can write songs as soon as you want. We fools think hard for a month and may not be able to hold it out, and the quality is so far behind."

Luo Quan comforted softly: "Specialization in art, you are a girl group captain, singing and dancing is your line of work, I can't compare to you in this regard."

Chunzi was curious: "Since Quan-chan already has new songs, why don't you reply to the comments on the internet?"

"What comments? Is someone blacking me again?" Luo Quan has been reading books and hasn't been online much, so she doesn't know what happened.

Seeing Wen Xia shook her head: "They are all praising you, but... you should go to Twitter and see for yourself."

Luo Quan frowned and opened Twitter, flipped through it, and she was not on the hot search.

"This hot search doesn't have me either?" Luo Quan looked at Seeing Wen Xia suspiciously.

"Look at the first one."

"Chris Suzuki nominated for Best DJ in the US!" Luo Quan saw this title, was stunned for a moment, clicked in and glanced at the comment section for a while, and immediately understood what was going on.

This Chris Suzuki, like Xingye Ying, is a Japanese-American, but he has been developing in the United States. He is not only a DJ but also a designer. He has cooperated with many trendy brands. His music not only has a strong personal style, but his mixing technology is also among the best among American musicians. He ranks ninth in the world's top 100 DJs this year and is known as the King of Trendy Electronic Music!

Like China, although Japan is a developed country, it also has more or less some 'worship of the white' sentiment. A Japanese-American can have such a status in the 'Lighthouse Country' music industry, which is definitely something worth bragging about, even if Chris Suzuki has never been to Japan in the first twenty years of his life.

And recently, because Chris Suzuki was nominated for Best DJ in the US, it also caused quite a stir in the Japanese music industry. Although he was eventually eliminated, being one of the candidates is enough to show his strength and status.

What is interesting is that in the comments of this hot search, a considerable number of comments are sarcastic, feeling that the Japanese people should not focus on a musician who has never written Japanese songs, and should pay more attention to these young musicians in Japan, such as Sister Quan Shui.

There are many similar comments, and some of them have nicknames like 'Love Sister Quan Shui' and 'Eternal Sister Quan Shui,' so the quarrel happened. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
