"I really want to know how much talent you have in your brain!" Wen Xia stared fiercely at Miss Luo Quan's grinning face, her tone very annoyed.

Girls' Generation's new song had just stayed at the top of the charts for one day, and as a result, as soon as Miss Luo Quan's new MV was released, they retreated to second place.

The key is that after she finished watching this MV, she sincerely felt that it deserved such results.

"Comparing people to people is infuriating." Wen Xia sighed up to the sky.

"There is a specialty in the arts; why do you have to compare with me?" Miss Luo Quan was also very helpless; she just filmed an MV casually, and it reached the top again.

In the afternoon, the press conference belonging to Miss Luo Quan arrived.

Originally, this press conference should have been held the day before yesterday, but Miss Luo Quan was anxious to film the MV, so it was dragged until today.

But it's also good; after the MV came out, it provided more topics for the press conference, and reporters also had quite a lot of questions they wanted to ask her.

At the press conference, Miss Luo Quan was wearing ordinary casual clothes, appeared without makeup, and hadn't said a word yet, when reporters first took a few photos of her.

Then, they began to ask questions in order.

"Miss Luo Quan-xi, what was your inspiration for filming this movie, and what made you choose to film such a movie?"

Sure enough, as soon as they started, they asked her this; Miss Luo Quan pretended to think for a moment and said: "It's just that I feel many people nowadays are too obsessed with appearance; actually, noble character and a kind heart are far more important than looks.

So, I wanted to film such an MV to tell everyone that appearance is not the key to a person's good or bad."

"But you yourself are the most beautiful face in the world; wouldn't it be a bit like 'standing and talking without back pain' to say such things now?" The second reporter's question seemed a bit sharper, but it is actually the point most discussed on the internet right now.

Many netizens complained that Miss Luo Quan herself has such a beautiful face and enjoys the benefits brought by this face, yet she calls on everyone not to value appearance, which is really a bit...

Miss Luo Quan knew there would be this question; she actually also wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding.

"First of all, I want to ask everyone: is the place most worthy of attention about me my face?"

After asking the question, Miss Luo Quan didn't continue speaking, but looked at these reporters, wanting them to answer.

"Of course." A reporter opened his mouth without thinking, "You are the most beautiful in the world; no matter how netizens complain, your looks are stunningly beautiful, and it's hard not to pay attention."

Miss Luo Quan smiled slightly: "I thought everyone would pay more attention to my music and the charity I do.

Actually, I have already sung a viewpoint in my song, which is: when my youth is gone, can these fans who gathered because of my looks still love me as before?

Imagine, when collagen is lost, my face is covered with wrinkles like ancient tree bark, my eyes become turbid, my muscles become extremely loose, and my spine becomes hunched due to osteoporosis.

Would I still be the most beautiful in the world? Could I still make you feel desire at a glance?

Just describing this scene makes me feel terrified; what do you think if you imagine it yourselves?

People will eventually grow old, and outer beauty will sooner or later have a day of fading.

But her thoughts, works, words, and deeds will be preserved forever, and with the passage of time, they can become even kinder.

This is what I truly want to express."

Miss Luo Quan's earnest words were like a head teacher at a primary school parent meeting, bitter and deafening.

After hearing this, the reporters were directly filled with awe.

Such a Miss Luo Quan is indeed someone one has to respect; although she is not yet twenty, one has to say that this mindset is already one that has lived through life.

After today's press conference, the controversy about her on the internet should calm down.

Of course, the questions still had to continue.

"Miss Luo Quan, your insights on appearance are indeed very profound; then what is your attitude towards the two factions in South Korea now?"

Xu Kequan had been watching the news these past few days and knew that the Korean public had sparked a debate because of plastic surgery and finally upgraded it to the level of value orientation.

One side believes that appearance is not important, and inner beauty is best.

One side believes that appearance is the most important, and only with looks can one talk about other things.

Both sides have their own theories, and they seem quite convincing.

And as the core figure who triggered this debate, everyone naturally wanted to hear Miss Luo Quan's opinion.

"My view is that one cannot go to extremes in anything." Miss Luo Quan didn't stand on either side, or rather, she stood on both sides: "It is human nature to pursue beauty, and it is understandable for girls to want to become pretty; as long as you don't hurt others and don't excessively hurt yourself, what does it matter even if you get plastic surgery?

Outsiders have no qualifications to carry out so-called criticism of such things.

Similarly, maintaining a kind heart is also very important; after all, as I said at the end of the MV, inner beauty is true beauty."

A very compromising statement, but it clearly couldn't convince the extremists of these two factions.

However, Miss Luo Quan never expected to convince these people; she just needed to express her own point of view.

Then the reporters asked about Miss Luo Quan's next arrangements, such as what variety shows she would be on, what songs she would release, and so on.

Miss Luo Quan's answer stood out for being casual: "As for variety shows, there's no rush; as for songs, it depends on inspiration and mood; if the feeling comes, there will be a new song tonight."

Alright, such an answer is very Miss Luo Quan.

The reporters smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The press conference ended, and on the whole, it was quite successful; compared to those press conferences that only focus on gossip, Miss Luo Quan's press conference was simply written with the word "depth."

If it were someone else, they could directly start a class and be a teacher.

Speaking of which, Miss Luo Quan used to love to be a teacher when she was live streaming, liking to tell fans some great truths about life.

Unfortunately, at that time, most fans only had "charge" in their brains; she talked a lot in the live broadcast room, and when asked how much the fans remembered, everyone said they remembered that she was as beautiful as today and yesterday, and her skin was very white.

This was very frustrating.

I don't know if these Korean fans can perform better.

Facts proved that she thought too much.

Fans strongly refuted her words, claiming that even if she were old and had no teeth left, they would still love her like their first love, loving her until death!

So, please be sure to be with them, let them take care of her, and let her remaining life no longer be spent in uncertainty.

Other fans said that Miss Luo Quan's profound theories actually stem from a lack of emotion.

She possesses the most beautiful face in the world, but no boy can walk into her heart.

She longs for a love, but is afraid that others come because of her looks, afraid that one day when she is old and yellow, she will be abandoned immediately.

This is actually a point of anxiety for many girls nowadays, it's just that Miss Luo Quan expresses it more extremely.

It's easy to solve: open her heart and give her an undying love! Let her know what the greatest power in the world is!

Then, this comment was topped to the first place, and even hit the Korean trending searches.

Interestingly, the author's nickname of this comment is in Chinese; clearly, this is a fan from China.

Sure enough, only Chinese netizens can pull off such stunts.

Miss Luo Quan's perfectly good philosophy class ended up turning herself into a spring-hearted girl longing for love.

Then, the whole internet told her to hurry up and fall in love.

"It was very sudden." Miss Luo Quan said helplessly to Wen Xia, "I clearly didn't mean that."

Wen Xia laughed: "Don't take fans' words too seriously; these stinky men always like to follow the crowd, but if you really believe their nonsense and go fall in love, not to mention whether they will immediately change their minds, anyway, if your boyfriend isn't attacked until his genealogy ascends to heaven, it would be considered that he has accumulated great virtue!"

"Where am I going to fall in love?" Miss Luo Quan chuckled, indicating that she hadn't thought about this aspect at all in her heart.

In order to avoid the rhythm getting bigger and bigger, Miss Luo Quan posted a tweet on Twitter:

"Don't urge me about falling in love; how can fans urge their idol to find a partner? If I really go find one, wouldn't I be scolded to death by you? Don't say you won't scold."

Originally, she wanted to say here: Don't say you won't scold; if you dare to say that, I'll really go find one!

However, remembering that she had already suffered a big loss because of setting a flag, what if these fans really wanted to watch the fun and didn't think it was a big deal? Wouldn't she be finished?

So, for the sake of safety, Miss Luo Quan only said half a sentence, leaving herself some room.

Then she continued to say afterwards:

"However, seeing that you are so interested, I will sing a love song for everyone; anyway, don't you all want to be the object of my love?"

This sentence poked the G-spot of all fans.

Regardless of gender, whether because of talent or looks, after coming into contact with Miss Luo Quan, they would be unable to extricate themselves from being obsessed with her.

Perhaps as Miss Luo Quan said, when she is old and her looks fade, these loves may disappear.

But for now, she will always be the idol that fans love the most.

And in the short term, there will almost be no change.

Seoul time, at 12:00 that night, Miss Luo Quan's new Korean song "Love You Until Death" was released (ps. original by KCM, also called "Love You to Death").

Unlike the previous new song release with a bonus MV, this is just a single, without any depth, but fans know that this is made for them.

Returning to the song itself, the melody is incredibly good, and Miss Luo Quan's voice is also much thinner than usual, sounding a bit choked.

This singing method with a slight crying tone not only didn't affect the song's pleasantness but instead fit the context of the lyrics even better, quite having the feeling of setting the scene with sound.

This is a typical hit love song, more worthy of being called pop music than the previous song.

If "Maria" became popular because of the MV, then "Love You Until Death" became popular entirely because of the excellence of the song itself.

Poor Girls' Generation had just retreated to second place and was immediately squeezed to third.

Fortunately, as they appeared on the second music show stage, they harvested another wave of attention and heat, and the new song finally returned to the top of the charts.

However, this time it was not as stable as before.

"Love You Until Death" had just been released and was in full swing; although Miss Luo Quan's fans in South Korea were slightly fewer, passersby contributed too much data for this song.

In the fast-paced era, the lethality of such brainwashing love songs is indeed too great; even if it is a head-on confrontation with the hottest girl group of the moment, it is not afraid at all.

For the next day, the first place on the music chart was alternately occupied by Miss Luo Quan and Girls' Generation.

Behind it, their respective fans were working hard to brush the data.

That's right, brushing data.

Popular to this extent, everyone's exposure is about the same; there are only so many young people in South Korea, and those who should have listened have already listened; if you don't brush data, there won't be a significant increase.

Girls' Generation has a professional fan data team, and Miss Luo Quan's side is not to be outdone.

Although Miss Luo Quan herself never organizes these, she can't help it that there are big shots in this area among her fans; with a shout on major forums, they soon pulled a large group of people to make Girls' Generation's fans bloom with peach blossoms.

The current battle situation can only be said to be evenly matched, and neither side can pull away a big gap.

And at this point, they dare not stop, because you don't know how long the other side can persist; if you stop and lose momentum, it's not certain if you can catch up again.

Interestingly, in the past, when two families competed for the top spot like this, fans would have fierce verbal wars.

Such situations are already commonplace on Weibo; some fans are more extreme, even using curses, talismans, witchcraft, and everything.

However, the fans of the two families competing this time were unusually harmonious, just focusing on brushing data; there was almost no verbal abuse, and there were quite a few comments about being one family.

It is said that peers are enemies, not to mention peers who are in a fierce battle.

Outsiders may not understand, but as long as one understands the relationship between Miss Luo Quan and Girls' Generation a little, one can understand.

You know, Miss Luo Quan is the guide for many members in Girls' Generation, and also a childhood friend of the Girls' Generation leader for ten years; the most popular songs of Girls' Generation were also produced by her.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is the tenth member of Girls' Generation.

And whether it is Miss Luo Quan or these members of Girls' Generation, they have all publicly stated that if their own fans dare to bring rhythm to the other side, they will be directly expelled from the fan base and treated as anti-fans!

With such a relationship, can it not be harmonious?

In short, the most intense battle for the top spot in the history of Korean pop music continued in such an atmosphere full of love and peace.

Until the holding of a major international event.

In Hollywood, USA, the annual Oscar awards ceremony announced that it was coming; Miss Luo Quan, as an award candidate, was invited to the Dolby Theatre to attend this grand event.

As mentioned before, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released at the end of last December, just to catch up with the Oscar awards ceremony held at the beginning of the new year.

Generally speaking, good movies need time to ferment word-of-mouth, so as to expand the chance of winning.

But "The Lord of the Rings" doesn't need it; Director Ford is confident that his movie can participate in the competition for Best Picture as soon as it is released.

And the fact is indeed so; in this Oscar, "The Lord of the Rings" was nominated for multiple major awards!
