Chapter 39: All-around
"Can a Chinese female singer stop trying to touch Suzuki-kun's porcelain? How can you say he also has pure Japanese blood, just that his nationality is American, while Sister Quan Shui is a Chinese person through and through!"
"It's not that I look down on Sister Quan Shui, but her songs can only be popular in Japan. Many people say she is the leader of the current Japanese music scene, but I think she can't even compare to many old seniors, let alone be mentioned in the same breath as Suzuki-kun!"
"Debut work sales breaking one million is indeed a good result, but Suzuki-kun is someone who often appears on the Billboard chart!"
"Can anyone be compared to Suzuki-kun now? The fan circle of niche singers should just circle and be cute, how dare they come to the news of a musician of Suzuki-kun's level and talk nonsense?"
The composition of the people who said these words is very complicated. There are Chris Suzuki's fans, European and American music fans who simply look down on their own country's music, and fans of other Japanese singers.
However, their caliber is surprisingly consistent. They all think that the comments of Miss Luo Quan's fans here are completely self-inflicted. A newcomer singer has no qualifications to compare with Chris Suzuki, who is famous in America, not to mention that she is also a Chinese person.
Miss Luo Quan's fans are of course unconvinced, arguing for their idol, feeling that Suzuki's songs have flat melodies and are noisy, even more niche than Sister Quan Shui's songs.
Anyway, both sides have their own reasons, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while, until such a comment appeared:
"Suzuki-kun's song won the B-chart championship..."
This comment can be called a 'killing move,' which immediately blocked the mouths of all Miss Luo Quan's fans.
As the most well-known and valuable chart in the United States, not everyone can get on the Billboard chart, let alone win a weekly championship single. This is a solid hard honor as a musician, which is much higher than the Oricon chart in Japan.
Although not being on the B-chart doesn't mean Miss Luo Quan's songs are not good, after all, Japanese songs have almost no market in the United States, but others have it while you don't, so no matter how many reasons you have, it's just an excuse for your inferior skills.
This 'killing move' comment was quickly pushed to the front. The 'winners' left messages one after another, expressing their joy, and also began to mock Miss Luo Quan and her fans.
Miss Luo Quan's fans were holding their breath when they saw this situation, but they couldn't vent it no matter what. There was no way, others had honors, and they were indeed incomparable.
And Miss Luo Quan herself was actually not angry. After all, it was inappropriate to mention herself under someone else's news.
She was also not sure if the person who mentioned her in the comment section for the first time was her fan. In the fan circle, fans and 'black' fans are sometimes synonyms. The sentence 'one fan tops ten blacks' is not said for fun.
However, now her fans in the comment section are suffering, and they must be uncomfortable in their hearts.
If she hadn't seen it, it would be fine. Since she saw it, of course, she couldn't let her fans suffer this grievance in vain.
It is said that 'helping reason but not relatives,' but when things really happen, how many people can stand on an absolutely fair and just side? Anyway, Miss Luo Quan can't do it.
Soon she posted a tweet:
"Actually, I also have some research on electronic music. It will meet everyone on YouTube as soon as tonight. Those who are interested can come and listen."
The tweet was sent out, quickly attracting a large number of netizens to watch.
Miss Luo Quan's fans must be one-sidedly praising Miss Luo Quan for her talent, saying that she can handle any type of music, simply a rising star in the Japanese music scene.
And the onlookers were skeptical. After all, the production of electronic music is not as simple as most pop music. It requires the combination of various instruments, which is a great test of the arrangement level. They don't think an eighteen-year-old girl can produce any outstanding electronic music. It would be good to be able to make a 'Tu Hai' (earthy high).
Don't look down on 'Tu Hai.' Being able to make 'Tu Hai' magical and brainwashing, and being able to make people shake their heads after listening, is also a skill, and it is definitely a popular employee in major nightclubs.
However, Miss Luo Quan never fights a battle without preparation. Since she dared to let everyone come to listen with great fanfare, she must be prepared.
Originally, this song was not in her recent plan, but since she ran into it now, there is no need to hide it.
"You guys eat, I'm going to the recording studio." Miss Luo Quan didn't change her clothes, walked directly to the entrance, and put on the shoes she had just taken off.
As soon as Wen Xia heard Miss Luo Quan say this, she knew that this person's inspiration had come again, and her eyes were very envious.
Miss Luo Quan, who came to the recording studio, first opened the synthesizer to produce the prelude of this electronic music.
If she played it directly with a piano, the effect would be better. But first, there is no big guy like a piano in the recording studio, and second, she doesn't know how to play it. It's a bit wasteful to spend popularity points to change it, so she directly synthesized the piano tone with a synthesizer.
The tone of this electronic music is not complicated, and the melody is relatively simple. Looking at it with the strict eyes of the industry, the quality of this electronic music is actually not high.
However, this electronic music sounds good.
Good to listen to is the simplest value of a song. Talking about arrangement, tone, and style actually has nothing to do with ordinary listeners. As long as it sounds good, it can be popular. Of course, some 'saliva songs' (pop songs) are excluded.
The song Miss Luo Quan prepared is absolutely second to none in electronic music in terms of catchiness. Released for five years, the YouTube click rate is as high as billions, which can be called a global hit!
When this song was most popular, you could almost see it in the BGM of any video, in any song request on any radio station, and on any music chart in any region. It is a well-deserved 'out-of-circle king'!
The price of this song is more expensive than the songs she redeemed before, costing her a full 50,080 popularity points!
Before, Miss Luo Quan went bankrupt to change a Desert Eagle. If it weren't for the fact that she had been gaining fans recently, she really wouldn't have had so many popularity points to change this song.
After paying the fee, the production method of "Faded" was quickly branded in Miss Luo Quan's mind, and then Miss Luo Quan skillfully fiddled out its accompaniment.
Then it was the singing part. The essence of this song lies in the female voice. That unique tone is one of the biggest reasons why this song can be so popular.
Miss Luo Quan had enough confidence in her tone because she and the original singer of "Faded" are of the same type. However, to make the effect of this song perfect, she definitely had to use reverberation tools.
The so-called reverberation, in layman's terms, is to simulate the environment where the singer is when recording, creating different effects. For example, you definitely don't sound as good as singing against the wall in the bathroom, but singers can't go to the bathroom to record songs, and using reverberation simulation software can simulate a similar environment.
Of course, there are many types of reverberation. The type Miss Luo Quan is going to use today is not the bathroom type.
Busy for nearly two hours, Miss Luo Quan listened to the produced song once, um, exactly the same as the previous life.
After exporting, Miss Luo Quan immediately released it on her YouTube homepage, and then posted a tweet:
"New song 'Faded' presented, I hope everyone will like it!" ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
