Chapter 476: Explosive
"King, you just let a stranger ride up like this?" Gao Liang looked at the horse he had raised for so many years, his eyes full of disbelief.
And the black horse glanced at its owner faintly, shook its head and made a disdainful snort, as if saying: "Play on the side, be careful I kick you!"
"So it's called King." Miss Luo Quan stepped on the stirrup with both feet, raised her hand to hold the reins, and pulled lightly. The horse followed the direction she exerted force and walked forward.
Although there is a lot of knowledge related to horse riding in her mind, she is a novice on the road after all. Oh no, it's on the horse, so Miss Luo Quan was relatively cautious when riding at first, mainly walking.
Soon, Gao Liang chased over on another tall jujube red horse. The comfortable appearance was much more skilled than the cautious Miss Luo Quan: "Sister, when shall we start shooting the MV?"
"I have already asked someone to send the clothes over. Next, wait for the Universal Company's shooting team to arrive, and find a few group performers to start shooting." Miss Luo Quan looked at her watch, "It's only noon now. We can have lunch first. It is estimated that it will be ready around two o'clock in the afternoon."
Generally, this kind of MV is shot by Universal Company with people and effort, but because the creativity of the MV is completely provided by Miss Luo Quan, this time from director to screenwriter, she is the only one.
After riding for a while, Miss Luo Quan pulled the reins, and both people and horses stopped. Riding for a while can be considered to have passed the addiction. There is no need to gallop. After all, horse riding also has some risks. Although it can't compare to skydiving and gliding, seeking excitement and taking risks is the thing she resists most. People only have one life, and she cherishes it more than ordinary people.
Moreover, the role she played in the MV doesn't need to run forward like Gao Liang. She only needs to walk slowly like now.
After dismounting, the two had a simple California-style barbecue feast at the manor, waited for more than an hour, and received a text message from the crew, prompting her that props and personnel were in place.
The two immediately drove to the small town near the manor, and also asked the ranch staff to transport the two horses over together.
Although it was only an MV of less than six minutes, because there were many scenes, it took two and a half days to complete the shooting, and Miss Luo Quan spent nearly a day editing and dubbing.
Don't look at the MV being so short, but it is actually equivalent to a condensed version of the movie. If you want the MV to be worth watching, you must not be perfunctory.
Some singers in the country, in order to make their MV go out of the circle, can smash 20 million RMB to make an effect comparable to a special effects blockbuster. Although the song itself is not so excellent, it still received a lot of praise and popularity because of the MV.
Although she and Gao Liang's MV don't need to do so many special effects, the energy invested still can't be saved.
Four days later, Universal has been promoting Gao Liang's new single MV. Fans have been waiting for it. After all, this is the first MV of the two sisters and brothers.
You know, the tracks they cooperated before were all love songs, and judging from the lyrics, they were all quite unrestrained. And as everyone knows, what kind of lyrics a song has, the MV will only be shot more boldly.
So, everyone is looking forward to what kind of performance the two can contribute in the MV.
However, no matter what the passersby and fans continue to see, it is estimated that they will not get their wish this time, because this song of Miss Luo Quan is suitable for all ages, and there will be no taboo pictures, even children can eat it with peace of mind.
Four days later, Gao Liang × Miss Luo Quan's latest single "Old Town Road" was released on the whole network.
The first picture of the MV is Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang, the sister and brother, wearing cowboy clothes, walking on the street full of Western atmosphere, surrounded by buildings stained with yellow sand.
This Western movie atmosphere that came to the face made all fans feel bright. Now few people will add Western cowboy elements to the MV, not to mention female cowboys!
Just when everyone thought this was an MV set in the last century, the sudden gunshot disrupted their thinking and also made the sister and brother in the MV flee in panic.
The lens gave Gao Liang alone. He drilled into a narrow hole in the panic of running away, crawled forward, and after finally climbing out of the hole, he fell directly from the sky.
At this time, the fans realized that the surroundings had completely become modern.
And at this time, the singing gradually sounded, and the light guitar sound set the overall tone of the song, and also made the fans relax involuntarily.
"Yee-haw————
Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
……………………"
After a unique shout of a cowboy, Miss Luo Quan's singing voice, which was lazy and carried a little vicissitudes, sounded. In just a few sentences, she actually sang an unexpected freedom and freedom.
In the United States, superheroes and cowboys are like the martial arts of Huaxia, which is the feelings and dreams that countless boys cannot forget even after growing up.
And the picture and singing of this MV instantly made this dream change from gradually forgetting to remembering.
Especially Gao Liang, who was wearing a cowboy suit, riding a handsome tall horse and walking slowly on the black asphalt road, gave people a feeling of being incomparable.
Even if there were luxury sports cars like Porsche and Lamborghini parked next to him, they couldn't compare with this cowboy riding a horse at this time!
A hundred years ago, horses were not luxury goods, but whoever had a car was simply the decency that the upper class could have.
And a hundred years later, it was completely reversed. Now the feeding and cultivation of a good horse is too expensive compared to a sports car.
And the scenes that make people shine in this MV are not just here, galloping on the highway and racing with sports cars, Miss Luo Quan appearing in front of Gao Liang driving a sports car in a cowboy dress, all brought too many surprises to the fans.
If this is really a movie, the dramatic effect must be great.
Unfortunately, the time of the MV is too short, and even a complete story cannot be told, and the part belonging to the song is less than three minutes.
Although there is not much content, it can be said that there are essences everywhere.
More importantly, although the MV is so outstanding, as a song, the melody and rhythm of "Old Town Road" are also top-notch choices.
As a country rap, Old Town Road combines the advantages and characteristics of the two music styles. Miss Luo Quan's lazy and relaxed singing voice and Gao Liang's unique rogue spirit in rap complement each other.
Even if you put aside the MV, this is also a very excellent song.
Released for only half an hour, the total playback volume of major streaming media platforms directly broke 100 million!
With the reputation of Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang today, it is a very normal thing for the MV they cooperated to reach this popularity.
However, the momentum of its subsequent explosion is not very normal, and it can only be described as outrageous!
Released for two hours, streaming playback broke 500 million, and it landed on the top of the hot song list of major music platforms including B-list.
Released for three hours, YouTube playback officially broke 300 million, and the click volume of major platforms exceeded 1 billion!
Released for twelve hours, the click volume on TIKTOK has approached 400 million, and the first batch of imitation videos and videos using it as BGM have also come out. These first people to eat crabs can easily harvest hundreds of thousands of playback volume.
In recent years, this is a song with the most outrageous popularity. Everyone guessed that it would be very popular, but didn't guess it could be so popular!
Among them, a large part of the credit is due to the overseas Douyin platform, which also has amazing popularity. This short video platform that has been tepid for many years finally emerged in mid-18. The global daily active users of more than 100 million made it have an incomparably terrifying public opinion manufacturing power.
And when a song becomes popular on overseas Douyin, it means that it will start to spread all over the world before long. No matter how much investment in advertising, it can't compare to such publicity!
In fact, Huaxia people can be said to have had a deep experience of this for a long time. No matter what new or old songs are popular in the country, it will be full of this song on Douyin in half a day, and then spread rapidly across the whole network.
And there are countless songs that have become popular through Douyin.
Now Huaxia netizens have successfully passed the first stage from curiosity to disgust to indifference to this software.
And abroad, the madness belonging to Douyin has just begun.
And "Old Town Road" is the first song to gain huge popularity through Douyin.
This song has a brainwashing melody, is suitable for all ages, and is unusually simple. No matter who can sing two sentences, and the background of the song is also very interesting, cowboy, Western, without any negative emotions, it can be said to be full of positive energy.
No matter where, happy and positive songs are more popular than melancholy bitter love songs.
And for "Old Town Road," its road to popularity has just begun.
After this song became popular in the previous life, not to mention dominating the overseas version of Douyin, it also won the B-list 19-week crown single, breaking the longest consecutive crown single week since the establishment of the B-list!
I don't know how many new songs of heavenly kings and queens were defeated by it on the way, and the dominance can be called unmatched!
If there is no accident, after Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang released this song, it is conservatively estimated that it can be popular for four months.
For ordinary singers, this is already an achievement that they dare not think about, but for her, this is almost a sure thing.
Usually, after the song explodes, the two should quickly start touring in major cities in the United States, increasing popularity while taking the opportunity to earn ticket money.
However, Miss Luo Quan returned to the country the day after the song was released. She was in the sky during the most popular period of "Old Town Road," so she didn't see it.
The reason for being so fast is also because she has stayed in the United States long enough this time, for nearly a week.
From now on, her energy will also start to be put into filming movies, and this return to the country is also to pack up and prepare to return to Japan. However, before returning to Japan, she has to take someone back first.
Shanghai, Home of Girls' Generation.
After working in South Korea as a group for more than a month, the combination of Girls' Generation has finally come to an end.
Girl groups are like this. When they are just established, they will tour and go on shows together, strike while the iron is hot, and then it won't be long before they separate to develop their own careers, and then combine two or three times a year to release a few songs, which is the so-called return.
However, because Girls' Generation is too popular, the country's invitations for their shows and stages are one after another, so the time for group activities was extended for more than half a year before ending.
But tired is tired, this year's performance also made the girls of Girls' Generation earn a lot of money. This kind of idol group that can't find competitors in the country, the speed of collecting money is simply too fast.
The big head must have been taken away by Penguin Entertainment, but even if it is just a small head, divided by nine, it is definitely a donation.
If you ask which country's artists in the world earn the most money, who doesn't know it's Huaxia? The third-rate stars here earn more than the first-line stars in most countries, not to mention top streams like Girls' Generation.
It is worth mentioning that although Junko and Yoon-ah are employees of Miss Luo Quan's own company, until now, she hasn't asked for a penny from the two.
Mainly because it was written in the contract at the beginning that the resources Miss Luo Quan found for the artists under her hands can only be divided after there is income, and currently those two are relying on Penguin to make money. She, the boss, is just hanging a name and basically hasn't done anything, so how can she be embarrassed to ask for a share?
This is Miss Luo Quan, who doesn't like to take advantage of others. If she changed to a black-hearted boss, she would add a charity clause to the contract.
So Seeing Wen Xia often complains that Miss Luo Quan is lucky to do business without capital. If she does business, it is estimated that she will be bankrupt in three days.
However, Miss Luo Quan has always valued long-term returns. It doesn't matter if she loses some money now. As long as these artists in the company can always be under her hands, she will be able to earn it back sooner or later.
"Filming a movie?" On the sofa, Junko looked at her friend and said with surprise. She didn't expect that Quan-chan would find her to film a movie:
"Actually, I still want to rest for a few days, but if it is proposed by Quan-chan…………"
"It doesn't matter." Miss Luo Quan waved her hand, "This matter doesn't actually need to be filmed immediately. First, you have to go to your family's kendo dojo first. You should have not seen your family for a while. This trip can also be a visit to your hometown, see the cherry blossoms."
"Can you still see cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji now?" Junko said with suspicion.
Miss Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "Oh, that's not important. The main thing is to go home. Whether to see cherry blossoms or not is secondary."
"Speaking of which, Father also came back recently. Grandpa asked me before if I had time to go back. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to return to Japan." Junko said while taking out her phone to prepare to book movie tickets.
"Why, filming a movie again?" Seeing Wen Xia asked curiously.
Miss Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, I want to film a movie about kendo. It just so happens that Junko's family is a kendo family. Her three generations plus the dojo, I can use them all."
Seeing Wen Xia looked at her with a crying and laughing face: "You are really not letting the fertile water flow into outsiders' fields." ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
