Chapter 577
Twelve-thirty, the concert ended here. All the songs Luo Quan had prepared in advance had been sung.
However, the fans still appeared reluctant to leave, crying and shouting for her to stay a while longer, even if just to say a few words.
Because everyone knew in their hearts that after this concert ended, once Luo Quan finished handling her graduation matters at the University of Tokyo, it would likely be very difficult for her to return again.
She said she would definitely come back to hold a concert, but who knew when the next time would be.
Therefore, while Luo Quan hadn't left yet, everyone wanted to stay with her a little longer, even if just for a few minutes.
Hearing the fans' tearful pleas, Luo Quan certainly couldn't just walk away, nor could she really just stay for a few more minutes.
Since she couldn't leave anyway, she might as well keep singing.
Thus, the concert that should have ended was forcibly extended by more than forty minutes.
All the Japanese songs were sung once, and she also picked a few English and Chinese songs that were popular in Japan to perform.
Girls' Generation and the members of LM band had no energy left; Avril had stepped down early after being a guest, and now she was back on stage acting as a firefighter.
It was fortunate that the team brought this time was complete enough, otherwise they really couldn't have lasted this long.
But what amazed everyone most was Luo Quan; starting at seven and singing until after one, a full five hours.
To be honest, the fans were getting tired just watching from their beds.
Luo Quan sang and danced the whole time, and was still full of energy even now; she was worthy of being the peak of Earth's combat power, and this stamina was truly not ordinarily abundant.
But there is no banquet in the world that doesn't end; no matter how reluctant the fans were, it was time to say goodbye.
After singing the last song, Luo Quan waved goodbye to the fans and instructed them to leave in an orderly manner and pay attention to safety.
Generally speaking, when a concert reaches 12 o'clock, nearby residents would have already called the police to remind them to end early.
However, this time, because everyone knew it was Luo Quan holding the concert, many nearby residents were lying by their windows, listening with great interest to Luo Quan's resonant singing.
When it was time to sleep, even though it dragged on until after one, no one filed a complaint.
From this, it can be seen how ridiculously high the public's tolerance for Luo Quan was...
"Oh my god, it's finally over."
Returning to the hotel room, Luo Quan sighed with relief, then drank hot water in large gulps, moisturizing her throat which was already on the verge of exhaustion.
What was consumed the most this time wasn't really her stamina, but her throat.
Now she finally understood why those divas would get lifelong illnesses at the end of their careers.
Divas in their peak periods inevitably often go on shows and hold concerts, singing for several hours at a time; over time, how could they not lose their voices or hearing? This could completely be called an occupational disease.
And those with lower status couldn't even get it, because they didn't have the fan base to support frequent concerts.
After her spirit relaxed, sleepiness immediately surged up; Luo Quan was too lazy to even wash up, took off her clothes, and fell fast asleep.
The next day at ten, Luo Quan woke up amidst aching muscles and bones.
Although she exercised every day, exceeding the limit would still make her muscles feel sore and swollen.
As for her throat...
Luo Quan opened her mouth and made a few 'ah' sounds; it was slightly raspy, but the situation was much better than after the previous few galas, at least not completely unable to speak.
This was all thanks to the throat lozenges given by the system, which indeed improved the durability of her throat significantly.
The first thing after getting up was to finish the washing up she hadn't done last night, and by the way, check the news.
The news of last night's concert, without suspense, became a major event reported by media all over the world.
Because the popularity was simply too high, it had tens of millions of viewers on several domestic platforms, especially on Bilibili, where it directly broke two hundred million.
Number of people and popularity certainly cannot be mentioned in the same breath, but if compared horizontally, hers could be considered unprecedented.
As for abroad, it was also ridiculously exaggerated data, with millions of viewers on every platform; Tokyo last night was definitely the focus of the whole world.
At this point, the debate about her concert box office appeal completely disappeared.
Nothing is more convincing than a hot live recording; many audience members who were there last night praised this experience with every possible language after returning, calling it the best concert they had ever seen in their lives.
The ratings of major Japanese TV stations broadcasting the concert also exceeded the Red and White Song Battle; if you grabbed any young person on the street and asked, they would definitely be an audience member who watched the concert last night, the only difference being whether they were there in person.
This concert, Luo Quan could be said to have achieved huge success.
However, as of today, its status and achievements no longer needed a concert to prove anything.
Just as she said before, holding the concert was entirely for the fans.
If it weren't for the fans liking it, she really wouldn't be willing to make herself so tired for these few hours.
And it wasn't just these few hours on stage, but also the days of rehearsals.
Thinking to this point, Luo Quan's laziness struck again; she lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all, until Wen Xia knocked on the door.
"Time for lunch." Wen Xia's voice sounded relatively normal; after all, Girls' Generation didn't sing much last night.
After huge stamina consumption, the hotel prepared a lunch full of high-calorie foods for everyone, all kinds of barbecue, fried chicken, pizza, and burgers.
"Whoa, is this the lunch you ordered, brother?" Luo Quan asked Gao Liang subconsciously when she saw the dishes.
"No." Gao Liang shook his head very simply; there were only two chicken legs and a vegetable salad on his plate.
"When did you become a herbivore?" Luo Quan felt it was very funny seeing the pitifully small amount on her brother's plate.
"I'm adjusting my dietary habits to make my body healthy," Gao Liang said with a straight face, stirring the salad with a fork; he hadn't even started eating, but he already looked sickly.
Not from malnutrition, but from craving those meats.
"Forget it, I've never heard of health being achieved through dieting; reasonable dietary balance combined with moderate exercise is the key."
Luo Quan said, putting a steak on her brother's plate: "I'll make you a healthy diet list later so you know how to eat healthiest.
As for exercise, just go to the gym often."
Hearing her sister say this, plus the rich meaty aroma of the steak, Gao Liang finally couldn't hold back and began to bury his head and eat.
After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to continue resting on their beds.
Originally when they came, they all planned to travel around Tokyo and visit shopping malls after the concert ended.
But now everyone looked like they had been peeled of a layer of skin, so this plan could only be shelved, to be discussed again when there was an opportunity in the future.
Luo Quan lay on the bed, but she wasn't completely relaxed; she was still handling some company affairs.
Mainly about "World of Warcraft"; the internal testing had reached this point, and various data had been collected almost completely.
First, the daily active number reached 89,000, which was an 87% retention rate; this was a very high result, which was equivalent to directly predicting the explosion of World of Warcraft; there was absolutely no need to worry about not being able to keep people after the official public testing.
Of course, although so many people stayed, the suggestions raised were also not few.
Mainly in these few aspects:
The difficulty of the dungeons is too high, one dies if not careful.
The drop rate of orange gear is too low; sometimes one doesn't see an orange gear after finishing several difficulties.
Warlocks are too weak, please, planners, strengthen them.
Another thing is that it's too grindy.
These feedbacks, in fact, after analysis, could also be considered common problems of all MMORPGs.
Nothing more than not being able to get good gear, not being able to beat dungeons, occupational imbalance, and being unable to grind.
But if an MMORPG is too casual, the fun will be much less.
It definitely wouldn't work to not change at all, but it was quite necessary to make some minor adjustments as appropriate.
Up to now, the situation of World of Warcraft was excellent; the number of negative reviews at home and abroad was pitifully small, truly achieving the point where most players were satisfied.
Besides the game, another matter was about Nikola Motors.
The first batch of cars that had long been built had already been delivered, and the current reviews on the internet were mostly positive.
There were definitely some shortcomings, but they were all insignificant; after all, at this price point, what more could you ask for?
If nothing unexpected happened, Nikola Motors would continue the positive reviews after the press conference ended.
And the company's stock price had also been rising continuously since that time, and the stability was even more ridiculous than Bitcoin.
Every time Bitcoin rose for a period, it would suddenly experience a plunge, and then start rising again; the curve was a W with an angle of inclination.
And Nikola Company's stock price was completely an upward diagonal line; as of now, there hadn't been any signs of decline, and the entire market was bullish.
And the boss of Tesla Company, amidst his busy schedule of suffering from antitrust investigations, didn't forget to tweet to complain about this highly competitive rival.
Claiming that Nikola Motors had some clumsy imitations of Tesla cars, and everything shown now was a false prosperity.
After posting, he bought a large batch of Bitcoin again, probably preparing to harvest leeks again.
However, Nikola's temper wasn't good; facing the provocation of a peer, he directly tweeted back:
"Many core components of Tesla cars were developed under my leadership; they are bound to look alike, but that doesn't mean plagiarism, and I am fully capable of being reborn on the basis of the original design!"
This response was tweeted back, and a large group of trolls immediately appeared on the internet, fanning the flames in the comment section.
Tesla's boss was the world's second richest man, and Nikola himself was currently in the limelight, and his net worth was also soaring rapidly.
If these two sides fought, it would not only be a great thing for the internet, as it could create countless topics.
For car customers, it was also a good thing.
After all, without competition, there would be no price reduction.
Both sides also understood this point in their hearts, but Tesla's boss, Scott, was currently in trouble; besides tweeting, he really didn't have much energy to deal with Nikola.
And it was during this period that Nikola Motors gained a golden development period.
By the time they were fully fledged, it would become very difficult for Scott to take action again.
And this time, a matter Nikola asked Luo Quan to handle was wanting her to shoot an advertisement endorsement for Nikola Motors.
Up to now, Luo Quan only had two endorsements.
One for Chanel, one for Huawei.
Although the time spent shooting advertisements was usually relatively short, there was no doubt that she had brought considerable revenue to these two brands.
Especially Chanel; the turnover before signing Luo Quan and after signing Luo Quan differed by at least 15 percent.
And in the area of high-end custom dresses, it used to be thankless work, losing money every time it was done.
Now, not only women but also men were buying, and every time it was in short supply.
To be honest, major brands all over the world had sent Luo Quan countless endorsement invitations; even though they were rejected every time, they still used very sincere tones and extremely generous conditions every once in a while.
Including but not limited to, after signing, Luo Quan could use all products within the brand for free for life; as long as she used them up, she could just make a phone call and have them delivered to her door.
Some brands were even willing to give Luo Quan sales commissions; as long as she endorsed that product, she could get money if it was sold.
This kind of intensity, let alone ordinary stars, even some international celebrities had never enjoyed.
And Luo Quan hadn't agreed to a single one to this day; because she was too proud, she was also listed by the media as one of the hardest stars to invite.
Earlier, everyone thought Luo Quan was doing hunger marketing, deliberately using this method to raise her own price, and when the price offered by the brand was about right, she would come out and take a big deal to make a fortune.
But facts proved that Luo Quan had been in the industry for two and a half years and only took two endorsements, and both were taken when she had just debuted.
At that time, her endorsement fee was only at the ten-million level, which was completely a cabbage price by today's standards.
And in the following period, no matter what endorsement, what price, the reply received was unexpectedly consistent, which was: Sorry, I don't have any plans in this regard for the time being.
This behavior was also finally praised and recognized by netizens after a long time.
Being able to be so consistent from beginning to end in the materialistic entertainment industry was truly rare.
And Luo Quan was also used to it; seeing Nikola's request, she subconsciously wanted to reply: Sorry, I don't have any thoughts in this regard for the time being.
Typing fast, she only remembered when she was about to send it that this was her own industry; she was the second largest shareholder of Nikola Company.
Although she didn't usually drive this car, it was completely reasonable to endorse and promote it, right?
And now was the critical period for the development of Nikola Motors; if she could stand for it and promote it, it would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Luo Quan deleted all the text and typed: "No problem, can you send me the car model to see, or is it to advertise the current car?"
"It's a new model; the company initially developed two cars, but the first car was easier to make, so it was released first."
After Nikola finished speaking, he sent over the picture of the second car.
