Chapter 49: Coming of Age
PS: Thanks to book friend "Hahaha Ga" for the tip!
Because time was tight and both women were starving, Miss Luo Quan didn't spend too much time making any hard dishes. Since there was plenty of leftover rice from last night, she fried a pot of egg fried rice for them.
There were no fancy tricks, just simple eggs, ham, and green onions. However, even with simple ingredients, it could still burst with an appetizing aroma.
At the moment of plating, Seeing Wen Xia, whose mouth was watering, seemed to see a flash of golden light.
It was actually just the reflection of the egg liquid and rice grains mixed and stir-fried, illuminated by the incandescent light; it wasn't any special effect.
Seeing Wen Xia picked up a spoon and scooped a mouthful. It couldn't be called a delicacy of the world, but it was definitely much better than the egg fried rice fried by ordinary chefs!
Looking at Miss Luo Quan who was washing the pot, Seeing Wen Xia let out an unwilling wail: "Woo... Luoluo, how come you know everything? Even cooking is so delicious!"
Miss Luo Quan shook her head proudly: "Don't worship brother, because brother is just a legend."
Junzi was full of longing: "Is this the so-called perfect girlfriend? I thought I could only see it in youth manga. I didn't expect such a person to exist in reality."
Miss Luo Quan smiled: "So what if it's perfect? Still have to eat, drink, and poop. Do you think goddesses don't poop?"
"Pfft——" Seeing Wen Xia, who was eating egg fried rice, received 10,000 points of critical damage.
Miss Luo Quan hurriedly said: "Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have said this while eating."
Seeing Wen Xia was speechless: "You really are... such a beautiful girl, but it's a pity you grew a mouth!"
"Tch!" Miss Luo Quan shrugged and ignored Seeing Wen Xia.
After everyone was full, the three sat side by side on the sofa. Seeing Wen Xia leaned against the left end of the sofa, putting her big white legs on Miss Luo Quan's legs who was sitting in the middle, very comfortable.
"Tell you a piece of good news, my new album is out. I went to the company to record songs today." Miss Luo Quan's words broke the calm.
Seeing Wen Xia got some spirit: "Awesome, do you have song demos? Let me listen!"
Miss Luo Quan hesitated: "These are all company secrets and cannot be released in advance."
Seeing Wen Xia was a bit disappointed, but still expressed understanding: "Also, contract spirit is still needed."
"No need for Quan-chan to reveal it, Sony Corporation has already released it themselves." Junzi held up her phone. The screen was exactly the interface of Sony Corporation's Twitter account. The latest tweet had as many as 100,000 comments!
"Super newcomer Izumi is about to launch her first personal album 'Coming of Age'!"
The release time was eight o'clock, which was the golden time for young people to go online and relax. In less than two hours, it attracted huge attention and discussion.
In the Japanese music scene, Miss Luo Quan as a new generation creative leader was already a settled matter. In less than a month, she released five works of strange quality. From lyrics and music to production, they were all at the top-tier level. Each one taken out individually to other singers could be called a good song worthy of being a representative work.
"A musical genius who has emerged," this was the evaluation of most mainstream music magazines for Miss Luo Quan.
And the point where geniuses differ from ordinary people is that the achievements the former can reach are unimaginable and difficult for the latter to catch up with.
Just when everyone thought that Miss Luo Quan, who had released five good songs in a row, would be silent for a while, she released songs again, and she released ten at once!
Netizens commented one after another:
"If you compare a singer's talent to a skill, Izumi is undoubtedly like a cheating player. The skill has no cooldown, and the blue bar is endless!"
"This frequency is just like some third-tier singers, taking advantage of not being completely outdated to crazily release songs to harvest leeks."
"I, who am poor, shed painful tears. I just saved enough money to buy 'Izumi', but I didn't expect her to release a new record again."
"It is foreseeable that TikTok is about to usher in a wave of BGM replacement."
"The album is called 'Coming of Age', but isn't Izumi just eighteen? (The age of adulthood in Japan is 20)"
"Science time is here. Izumi is Chinese. The age of adulthood in China is eighteen, but the minimum age for marriage is 20, two years older than Japan."
"It's really strange, it seems to be completely opposite to us."
"It's as if we could marry her if we were 20."
"In my dreams, she has already given birth to many children for me~~~"
"Die, otaku!"
Music has no borders, and losers are the same.
A large part of Miss Luo Quan's fans are such otaku who like to YY, or rather, the absolute majority of young female stars' fans are this group of otaku.
Although their consumption power is not as crazy as female fans, they have a long traditional culture in terms of support and a set of professional work processes. The scene that best reflects this culture is the concert.
However, Miss Luo Quan currently doesn't have the strength to hold a concert, and she herself is not keen on organizing any global fan support clubs, so after the new album comes out, it all depends on fan promotion.
Of course, Sony Corporation must have done some marketing. Twitter hot searches cannot be bought, but water armies can be bought. Relying on brushing views, it rushed to the top in half an hour.
Although even if they didn't hire water armies, it would be a matter of time before she hit the hot search based on Miss Luo Quan's current traffic. However, internet time is money. The earlier it goes up, the more people will see it. Anyway, everyone buys water armies, and those who don't buy them can't prove how pure they are.
In addition, Hoshino Sakura also helped Miss Luo Quan forward and promote it for the first time. Since the last time the two broke into the dragon's den together, they could be considered to have established a solid friendship, and they often interacted on Twitter before.
This time, Sony Record Company's layout was very large. After an initial evaluation of Miss Luo Quan's songs, the senior management unanimously determined that this was an album with great hit potential!
Not just Japan, they hoped that the achievements of this album could be raised to the Asian level.
Japan has produced many divas who swept Asia. When the Hallyu trend swept Asia back then, Japan relied on these divas to stubbornly defend its own entertainment ecology in front of those popular boy groups and girl groups.
China didn't defend it, which is why the new era entertainment industry became what it is now.
In fact, Japan is not much better; it is completely relying on its thick family foundation to support it until now.
If they just guarded their own one-acre-three-cent land, they could barely live, but Miss Luo Quan's appearance gave the senior management the courage to show their grand plans.
As long as the operation is successful, this album named "Coming of Age" might become the horn for Japanese entertainment to counterattack South Korea.
Perhaps the language will be different, and the culture will be different, but people's appreciation and love for music do not have any barriers. Those divas more than ten years ago could conquer Asia, and Miss Luo Quan more than ten years later might not be able to reproduce this glory!
Therefore, Sony Record Company rarely mobilized the resources of the Chinese and Korean branches to promote this album with the greatest strength!
PS: Suddenly have a headache, just this one update. Will make up for it with three updates tomorrow. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
