Chapter 517: New Style
"No problem…… just follow the old rules…… okay…… that's it." Miss Luo Quan hung up the phone with a smile.
As soon as the news of the new Japanese album release came out, Sanmu called to buy the copyright. Although Miss Luo Quan wouldn't sell the copyright to anyone else except Sony, this importance must not be less.
Now Miss Luo Quan's major music distributors are relatively fixed. Domestic is Penguin, Europe and America is Universal, and Japan is Sony. It hasn't changed much in two years.
Although the physical record market is almost dead now, Miss Luo Quan's records are still very popular in Japan. The first few have reached the ten-million level, which is unique in the whole of Asia.
Although since "Coming-of-Age Ceremony", the sales of each album have shown a downward trend, there is no way. After all, the vast majority of singers are at their peak when they debut, and subsequent albums gradually decline.
Singers like Miss Luo Quan, who have a decline but whose overall sales are still exaggerated, are definitely a rare existence.
No one's talent is infinite. It happens from time to time that the first album is deified and the second album is super ghost.
Not everyone can be like Miss Luo Quan, keeping several albums at a very high production level. Except for no MV, there are no flaws to be found.
The most commendable point is that Miss Luo Quan's songs do not have strong personal marks, the style is changeable, and the musical form is quite rich, which is the first time in the entire music industry.
As we all know, any singer's songs have their own imprints, and songs from different periods can hear some similarities more or less.
And Miss Luo Quan's songs can rarely find such similar songs, which means that almost every creation of hers has reduced the repetition to the lowest level.
This is the external manifestation of her talent, and it is also an important basis for fans to praise her.
However, although Miss Luo Quan has tried many styles, she has never said that she would try special styles before the release of the first few albums.
This shows that in her view, the songs written before are all conventional styles, which also means that some songs in the next album will probably exceed people's conventional thinking.
Fans actually know that Miss Luo Quan has never been a singer who likes to follow the rules. From time to time, she likes to give everyone a whole activity, and most of the activities are in the category of the world. Even her suona performance is actually quite good.
And this time the new album has clearly told the fans that she is going to do a whole activity this time, which also makes everyone curious about how outrageous her next works will be…………
"#%&? ¥*…………"
In Miss Luo Quan's bedroom, there was an indescribable sound, and Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu in the living room heard their san values drop wildly.
"What is the boss doing, chanting?" Su Yu couldn't help but look at Miss Luo Quan's room and asked Seeing Wen Xia.
Just now Miss Luo Quan told the two that she would record songs in the room later, and there might be strange sounds coming out.
At first, Su Yu thought, the boss sings so well, how could it be strange.
As a result, after the recording started, the scene seemed a bit weird. Miss Luo Quan kept chanting a language she had never heard in the room, which simply made her feel like she was at the scene of a ritual.
Seeing Wen Xia rubbed her temples and shook her head: "God knows, last night her fans said she was going to do a whole activity this time. I didn't expect it to be a whole activity in the underworld."
Just as she was saying, the door opened, and Miss Luo Quan held the lyric book: "Did it disturb you?"
"No, boss, your song is too good to listen to." Su Yu shook her head quickly. At first glance, she had read "Emotional Intelligence" and found the "position".
Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, I know it's ugly, but I'm chanting the lyrics. It will be much better after singing it later."
After speaking, she closed the door and went in to continue working.
The two outside looked at each other, stopped talking, and turned their phones to silent.
Soon, the accompaniment of the song sounded in Miss Luo Quan's room, which was a soul-stirring big drum, knocking on the hearts of the two one by one.
Miss Luo Quan's singing sounded, it was a completely unknown language, but it made Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu stand up, and their whole bodies were covered with goosebumps.
This sound is too holy, just like a priest praying devoutly in the church, longing for the gods to descend light to shine on the world. The artistic conception created makes people think of words like epic, fantasy, and sacred in an instant.
Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu looked at each other and saw the incredible in each other's eyes:
When did Miss Luo Quan learn such a foreign language? Also, what is this foreign language? Why does it sound like people can't help but want to kneel down?
With full of doubts, the two finished listening to this wonderful and quite pleasant song.
Five minutes later, Miss Luo Quan's door opened again: "The song is recorded, do you want to come in and listen?"
"Your voice is so penetrating, I heard it through the door." Seeing Wen Xia made a joke, "Luoluo, what language are these lyrics? Why does it sound different from ordinary foreign languages?"
"It must be different, because this is an artificial language." Miss Luo Quan took out a thick big book from the room and explained: "Before, when I was studying linguistics at Todai, I joined a linguistics club. Everyone in the club gathered together to tinker with something whenever they were free, but I was usually busy, so I didn't participate much.
When I was an exchange student in Japan, the president of the club gave me this book, saying that this is a language they created called Tower Language."
While Miss Luo Quan was talking, Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu were flipping through this thick language comparison book, which had a large number of symbols with unknown meanings, which was estimated to be the so-called Tower Language.
"According to the president, this is a language specifically for communicating with gods, so chanting it will feel very ritualistic and sacred." Miss Luo Quan sat back to the computer and began to process the song just recorded.
"So that's how it is, so you were chanting this just now." Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu suddenly realized, and at the same time expressed respect to the members of this club.
Creating a language is a big project, not to mention such a distinctive language.
As for the song Miss Luo Quan sang, from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese person, it is still quite good to listen to.
As for not understanding, it doesn't matter. Even if it is Japanese or English, most people don't understand it, as long as the melody is good.
There are many Cantonese songs that don't know what it means, don't everyone hum along happily?
Of course, Japanese songs cannot be compared with Cantonese songs. The former is a niche in China. Except for Miss Luo Quan, no Japanese singer can make it to the major APP charts.
However, Japanese songs are quite widely accepted in Douyin. Young people like to use them as BGM for videos. Bilibili goes without saying. This is the base camp of Miss Luo Quan's fans. As long as her songs are released, they will definitely be on the trending list.
This time is no exception. After Miss Luo Quan's song was recorded, the electronic version was released by Sony official that night. The new album is titled "New Style", and the first song is titled "EXEFLIPS" (original singer KOKIA), and the domestic price is 5 yuan.
At the same time as the song was released, Miss Luo Quan also told the origin of the song below, and thanked the members who sent her this Tower Language book, thanking their research results for providing lyrics for this song.
It is a pity that she does not have the contact information of these members. After all, the Japanese take copyright very seriously, and I don't know if they are willing to take this language to sing for her.
However, she has asked Senior Yun Jing at Todai to help contact, and it is estimated that there will be no big problem.
Although this new song is not the title song of the album, the creativity has reflected the name of the album.
Creating songs with artificial language, isn't this a new style? And Miss Luo Quan's creation this time is truly successful. After listening to the song, a group of Japanese netizens on Twitter almost burned their secondary souls, saying that listening to this song is like being in an epic, and asked Miss Luo Quan if she is interested in creating an epic fantasy movie.
In Japan, Western fantasy is actually a popular theme. Games and anime have quite a lot of excellent works, and Dragon Quest has always been synonymous with the king's way.
If there is really a Western fantasy film and television work, Miss Luo Quan as the protagonist is definitely the best choice.
For the voices of fans on Twitter, Miss Luo Quan did not promise directly, but gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe there will be a chance in the future, who knows."
However, even such an ambiguous answer has made fans look forward to it.
I have to say that a song really brought up a lot of fantasies from the fans. Many otaku even regarded it as a song of the second dimension. Using it as BGM in edited videos is simply full of style.
Undoubtedly, Miss Luo Quan's innovation this time has won the approval of fans again. Although the style is indeed unexpected, it has not reached the level of the underworld that everyone thought before.
Think about it, Miss Luo Quan has always been committed to creating songs that are catchy and in line with most people's aesthetics, and has always kept away from "experimental" songs.
So no matter how she does it, the song must be good to listen to.
And this new song is not even the title song of this album, so how strange will the style of the real title song be?
Everyone is waiting for Miss Luo Quan to give them the answer, and at the same time, Miss Luo Quan is looking for the image of wearing a kimono in her previous photos.
To be honest, the images she has cosplayed are actually not many. In most cases, they are casual clothes, looking like a neighbor girl.
There are a few times that can be counted, including Hanfu, swimwear, and wedding dresses.
There have been two kimonos. One was the MV recorded when "Paradise" was released, and the other was at the Bilibili New Year's Eve concert, wearing a kimono and dancing "Paradise" with the members of Girls' Generation.
These two kimonos are actually quite good-looking, but they are basically dance moves, and she can't find the moves she wants.
Originally, she wanted to PS these photos as the cover of the title song. Now it seems that this kind of lazy behavior is not feasible.
Finding a shop to make a kimono immediately seems too slow. She doesn't want to wait, which makes her feel some trouble.
However, living people cannot be forced to pee. Miss Luo Quan flipped through her pitiful circle of friends and finally thought of a way.
"Senior Lin, how have you been lately." Miss Luo Quan called Lin Zheyuan.
"Luo big star, we are so familiar, don't do these twists and turns. You are the master who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything, just say the business." Lin Zheyuan laughed very heartily and spoke very directly.
Miss Luo Quan pouted: "You said this, am I the kind of person who treats friends as tools? Can't it be that I want to chat with friends, so I call you?"
"Don't!" Lin Zheyuan refused quickly, "If your fans hear this, won't they human flesh me? Also, are you really okay looking for me?"
"Yes."
"Look, I said so, say it, what's the matter."
"Do you have Yan Xuan's contact information? I want to find her to help."
"Yan Xuan?" Lin Zheyuan was a bit surprised, "What are you looking for her for? Do you also want to take cosplay photos?"
Miss Luo Quan nodded: "Almost, take a cover for the new album, want to get a ready-made piece of clothing. I heard before that Yan Xuan's anime club is considered very large in the whole of Shanghai, and should have a way to get the clothes I want."
"Then okay, I will call her directly, and you two will chat directly later." Lin Zheyuan did things very neatly. Less than five minutes after finishing the call with Miss Luo Quan, Yan Xuan contacted Miss Luo Quan.
After the two greeted each other, they talked about the business of renting clothes. Yan Xuan's anime club really has a way to get cosplay costumes. It is a very large clothing rental company, with Hanfu, kimono, and even various anime character costumes.
However, because it is rental, the size of the clothes is not as fit as custom-made.
And Miss Luo Quan's 173 height is also a bit taller than ordinary girls, so the rented clothes may be smaller, but the advantage is that there are many styles, and if there is a demand, it can be delivered by plane.
This is definitely what Miss Luo Quan needs most at present. After getting the website of these two clothing rental companies from Yan Xuan, Miss Luo Quan immediately rented a black and red kimono on it. The style is more dusty, not the traditional lady's appearance.
It will take a few hours for the clothes to be delivered. Taking advantage of this time, Miss Luo Quan also asked some crew members to work overtime to help her prepare props for shooting the title song cover.
The shooting venue must be indoors. It is too hot outdoors. It is almost noon and wearing a kimono, it will not be long before you get heatstroke. How comfortable it is to work indoors with air conditioning.
Because it is a cover, the venue requirements are not high. A large enough space, lighting, and shooting equipment can be solved directly by the crew. Lay a whiteboard on the ground and behind, and then wait for the props to arrive.
During the time waiting for the props, Miss Luo Quan has been recording songs in the room, and Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu have also been listening outside.
Unlike usual, Miss Luo Quan sang this song twice.
For her who has always recorded songs only once, singing twice means a very high difficulty.
Some are skills, and this song is obviously emotion.
From this song, they heard hesitation, helplessness, and heartbreaking.
Now they finally know why Miss Luo Quan wants to wear a kimono for the cover.
ps. The author does not sell off the suspense, the song name is "Gambling Game", original singer Shiina Ringo. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
