Chapter 645: Cantonese Album?

~13 min read 2,588 words

"Luo Bao, Luo Bao, it seems I've never heard you sing a Cantonese song; are you interested in releasing one?"

"One? Who are you looking down on! With Luo Quan's skill, releasing an album is a breeze."

"Does Luo Quan know Cantonese?"

"Fun fact, Luo Quan's university major is linguistics; music and movies are all side jobs."

"Damn, I forgot Luo Quan is a linguistics major if you didn't mention it."

"Haha, after all, she also studied in the singing department of Shangyi for a year; I guess everyone thought Luo Quan was a full-time singer."

"But linguistics shouldn't have much to do with the number of languages you know, right?"

"Others might be like that, but for Luo Quan, there is no language she doesn't know."

………………

Seeing the discussion on the barrage, Luo Quan smiled slightly: "Bing gou wa ngo m sik gwong zau wa? (Who said I don't know Cantonese?)"

The pronunciation was standard, and a group of Cantonese-speaking fans in the barrage immediately became excited.

"Wow, so standard."

"Luo Bao's Cantonese is too soft and glutinous; it sounds so good."

"It feels like she's acting spoiled, but why is her expression so serious?"

"Some girls speaking Cantonese sounds a bit coquettish."

"Locals say, you can't tell at all that Luo Quan is from the mainland; it's a proper Guangzhou accent."

………………

"Haha, actually I knew it very early on, just never had a chance to speak it." Luo Quan was also quite happy to see that the fans approved of her accent.

"As for the request for Cantonese songs that fans raised before, I think releasing a Cantonese album is also quite appropriate.

After all, it can be considered the birthplace of Chinese entertainment; releasing an album to commemorate the past years is also quite sentimental." Luo Quan spoke straight from the heart, expressing her inner thoughts.

"Haha, does this mean she is hinting that Xiangjiang entertainment is already buried?"

"Still need to hint? Isn't this obvious?"

"Indeed, it used to be mainland stars going to Xiangjiang to fish for gold; now it's the other way around."

"As for the songs, they are all the same, equally bad."

"With Luo Quan this time, it will be different."

"Haha, really looking forward to it; this is what it means to be New Year, surprises every day."

………………

Seeing that some were bringing rhythm, possibly suspected of bringing rhythm, Luo Quan also explained: "I don't mean that at all; I just want to commemorate the past time, which means the songs I release will be more retro in style, and won't sound so new."

Explaining to this point, Luo Quan felt she had said enough.

If rhythm appears again, it has nothing to do with her.

However, with her current traffic level, can she really clear all relationships with just one sentence?

The answer is obviously impossible.

Not long after the live broadcast ended, she was on the hot search.

In the past few days, "Farewell My Concubine" has been popular, winning 400 million box office in less than a week, and the rating occupies the top of the history list of domestic movies with 10 points.

Under such a big event, it is very normal for Luo Quan to occupy the hot search as a director.

However, this time, the title was: "Luo Quan live broadcast hints that Xiangjiang music is already buried."

Such a title can be described as a stone causing a thousand waves.

Although you can see the live broadcast clip of Luo Quan by clicking on the news, you can see how she said it.

However, there are obviously more people who only read the title and express their opinions.

"A bit floating, Luo Quan; you can even say this."

"No matter what, it is the birthplace of Chinese entertainment, and it has been brilliant; you should still give some respect."

"Your work is indeed very powerful, but such words really shouldn't be said."

"Probably stayed in the United States for too long, the personality became flamboyant, forgetting that humility is the virtue of Chinese people."

………………

The entire comment section can only be described as "rising to the level of morality."

This time, the sprayers can be considered to have found a moral high ground to attack Luo Quan.

However, where there are sprayers, there are naturally fans who defend Luo Quan; they finished watching the entire live broadcast clip, so they also seem more angry.

"Sure enough, it's what I feared; I knew there would be rhythm during the live broadcast."

"Are people so impetuous now? Please finish the video, okay?"

"Although Luo Quan never said such things as Xiangjiang music is already buried, isn't this a fact?"

"Stop talking, things that are out of nothing can also be quarreled."

………………

After the matter became big, the melon-eating masses who heard the news saw the quarrel in the comment section and became more cautious when expressing opinions.

Following the crowd and impetuousness are the biggest characteristics of the internet era; taking chicken feathers as arrows is a common problem for many people.

However, for Luo Quan, following the black is definitely the most stupid behavior, because the misunderstandings that have occurred on her so far have all been clarified.

Those mobs were also slapped in the face one by one.

It is said that there is no right to speak without understanding; this is especially true for Luo Quan.

Therefore, everyone still held back the idea of participating in the war and watched the live broadcast clip.

After watching, quite a few people secretly said in their hearts: Fortunately, I didn't go to the comment section to fight.

Sure enough, Luo Quan just said she would release a Cantonese album to commemorate the glorious years of Xiangjiang entertainment.

It was the barrage that mentioned it, and she explained it immediately.

Luo Quan is not at fault.

The one who should be scolded is the person who took this news title, a proper title party that provokes war.

Fortunately, Luo Quan has always established a very positive image in the eyes of the public.

After the negative news came out, most people are more willing to clarify its authenticity first, rather than following the scolding.

In such an environment, the rhythm quickly subsided.

Of course, during this period, many Xiangjiang stars also posted on Weibo, saying that Xiangjiang entertainment and music are not buried, and are still full of vitality; you can know from the attendance rate of singers holding concerts.

This is actually a fact.

There are very few stars holding concerts in the mainland now, and once they do, most of them lose money, belonging to the joke of the industry.

And those well-known singers in Xiangjiang, once they hold a concert, it is full, and the whole audience singing together is common.

Although there is a suspicion of eating old capital, others must have old capital to eat.

Just for this point, Xiangjiang music really can't be called buried.

But no matter what, it is a fact that there is no successor, but now no one mentions it.

Soon, the focus of the matter changed.

Everyone is concerned, can Luo Quan sing the style and glory of that era?

Her musical talent naturally doesn't need to be questioned, but some songs really need era background and years of precipitation to produce that unique charm.

Perhaps Luo Quan's new songs can be very good, but some charm is not something that can be born just because the songs are good.

Of course, the melon-eating masses only questioned this point.

No one dared to assert that Luo Quan definitely couldn't write it, after all, the number of times they were slapped in the face before was too many.

Miracles appearing on Luo Quan are no longer miracles, but routine operations.

And Luo Quan, the next day, quickly announced her new look.

Wearing a round-brimmed sun hat, wearing a dark purple dress, and a pair of white lace gloves on her hands.

These are not the point.

The point is the makeup she put on.

Decades ago, cosmetics and makeup techniques were not good, but the lighting effect was very strong.

In order to make the star's face clear, light makeup was not popular at that time; it was all heavy makeup, the more gorgeous and eye-catching the better.

The most common for female stars was purple eyeshadow and big red lips, and some would also apply some blush.

At that time, she was naturally of such stunning beauty that she left a whole group of men and women completely infatuated.

However, looking at it with today's eyes, it is not so good-looking.

It feels like everyone has a bit of the taste of Sister Pomegranate, with three parts of ugly in the exaggeration.

However, Luo Quan gave the netizens a wave of "speaking with facts," telling them what is the gold content of the world's most beautiful!

Although there is death heavy makeup on her face, the appearance is still peerless.

Just this look standing on the stage is still a big star that makes everyone fall in love.

And this dressing feature is exactly the same as those Xiangjiang female stars in the 80s and 90s.

Netizens and their little partners were immediately stunned:

"Wow, what's the situation with this thick old photo style?"

"Feels like traveling back to decades ago; this image is too nostalgic."

"Haha, this blush, it's comparable to the paper people sold in the shop next door."

"Exaggerated, but it's really thick to the point of being outrageous."

"This is the makeup feature of the last century, very sense of the era; I guess young people don't understand it very well."

"Classic look of a rich girl in Xiangjiang movies, and also a classic look of Xiangjiang female stars."

"I always thought the swimsuit show was."

"Huh? Why do you say that."

"Those beautiful Xiangjiang female stars are not all from Miss Xiangjiang, right? When they go on stage for the draft, they all wear swimsuits."

"Haha, it seems to be true."

"Luo Quan also has swimsuits, but that one is too unsuitable for children. (Funny)"

"That's it for today's Weibo."

………………

It must be said that at that time, as long as the female stars were beautiful, almost all of them were from Miss Xiangjiang.

Appearance, figure, temperament, all have nothing to say, and each has its own characteristics.

Therefore, the Xiangjiang beauties of that era are also one of the most typical symbols of the Xiangjiang entertainment circle to a certain extent.

And martial arts, police and bandits, young and dangerous, god of gamblers, these are all very distinct cultural symbols.

However, with the development of the times, the representatives of many symbols either passed away or retired.

The latecomers were not skilled, and for a long time, there were no good works, so these classic symbols gradually became ignored.

Only when they occasionally appeared in the public eye did they cause a wave of emotion and nostalgia.

As for music, the most typical is Xiangjiang love songs.

Someone joked before that the love songs produced by Xiangjiang for decades can circle the earth three times.

Although it is exaggerated, it also shows that love songs are the most important and common feature of Xiangjiang songs.

Countless classics have indeed appeared, and many are still being sung until now.

Take a look at the KTV, in the top dozens of the on-demand list, more than half are still Xiangjiang love songs.

It can be seen how persistent the public's love for Xiangjiang love songs is.

It also shows that the public is not very able to accept new styles in Cantonese songs.

If you do something, it might be thankless.

What Luo Quan likes is exactly doing something, and everyone is also looking forward to how she will choose this time.

The album cover is already out, which is the "Xiangjiang female classic look" she posted at noon.

Although it is a bit gorgeous, the flaws do not hide the virtues.

As for the songs, according to the convention, it must be released at night.

At the same time, Luo Quan also just came out of the photography building.

After the photos were taken, they were not repaired much; unless it was necessary to do some special effects, otherwise, her appearance did not need any PS processing at all.

So in most cases, she sent the photos out immediately after they were taken.

After sending the photos, Penguin also called.

As long as Luo Quan has any new movements, Penguin and Universal are always the first to act.

But because this time it was a Chinese song, Universal just asked politely.

And Penguin, it must want to win the exclusive agency right of Luo Quan's album.

With the introduction of the salary limit order, it has become impossible for stars to get sky-high signing fees.

But if you don't give enough price, others are not willing to sign with you.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below, and yin-yang contracts have emerged.

In fact, this kind of thing has always existed; it used to be used for tax evasion, and now it is used to deal with the salary limit order.

Before it was exposed, everyone was a good citizen who abided by the law.

But once exposed, they all became super deadbeats who evaded taxes for hundreds of millions.

Such a number, many rich people looked at it and felt heart-pounding.

Just the tax is hundreds of millions, so how high will the money earned be?

No one knows this, or no one dares to say it.

Anyway, Chinese stars are still making money.

On this point, Luo Quan herself has the right to speak.

For example, the signing plan given by Penguin this time is a signing fee of 150 million, and sales sharing is calculated separately.

A year ago, making an album, the price opened by Penguin was 100 million.

At that time, because of this sky-high signing fee, Luo Quan was on the hot search and was scolded for a while.

Now her status is rising, and it is normal for the signing fee to increase.

However, the salary limit order is there; if it is signed so big again, it will not be easy to explain to the above.

So Zhou Zhou Yangwen proposed the most common solution.

"How about, let's also yin-yang a bit?"

This was said very vaguely; if you didn't know, you would think it was going to be yin-yang strange.

But Luo Quan reacted quickly and said righteously: "General Manager Zhou, don't mention this again in the future.

The signing fee is calculated according to the top salary of 50 million, and then the sales share is increased by three points, what do you think?"

50 million to sign Luo Quan, this belongs to the cabbage price.

As for the share increase of three points, it is actually not very high.

Such a request is completely a return of the favor that Penguin was willing to let go of Wen Xia at the beginning.

"Luo Quan, your pattern and ideological awareness, I am really ashamed." For the first time in his life, Zhou Zhou Yangwen felt a bit ashamed, and it was in front of a young man.

Luo Quan smiled softly: "If you don't distinguish between etiquette and add it, will you add it to me?" ===== CHAPTER 646 =====
