Chapter 827: Classics Flow Forever

~14 min read 2,633 words

Luo Quan generally doesn't have MVs for new songs.

Mainly because her output is really too high, thirty songs in three albums a year, not counting other singles; if every one of them has an MV, the workload would be too big.

So she usually doesn't shoot this.

However, she usually chooses the cover of the song carefully.

Early covers mainly let people make some relatively beautiful and exquisite pictures.

And in the past two years, she has used her own photos uniformly.

Because fans said, no picture is as good-looking as her photos.

Of course, swimsuit photos are excluded.

A perfectly good photo, with a swimsuit on, no matter how you look at it, it is not serious, just like a well-known industry in Japan has produced a newcomer again.

The cover of this new song is still her photo.

However, the materials used were all taken at the European Warrior Tournament; in the photo, she is wearing shining armor, holding a sharp sword, standing on the yellow sand, truly heroic.

As for the album cover, it is the stunning look she had at the Oscars.

There is no better photo than this; after it came out, it was simply a glance for ten thousand years for the fans.

However, perhaps because the few looks she had at the European Warrior Tournament were too heroic, many people on the foreign internet interpreted it as her taking this opportunity to speak for 'female boxing' (feminism).

Including taking the album name 'Women's Decathlon', it is to tell everyone that women are not inferior to men; Luo Quan is indeed concerned about the women's rights movement.

For these remarks, if these people are not over-interpreting, they are deliberately bringing rhythm.

No matter which one it is, Luo Quan will not sit idly by.

After similar remarks just had heat, she immediately launched a dynamic:

"The photos chosen for the album and new song covers are simply because they look good; there is no other meaning in them, please don't over-interpret."

To deal with this kind of remark, the action must be fast, to strangle it in the cradle.

Luo Quan's experience in this regard is already quite rich, and it is also very familiar to implement.

At noon, Luo Quan and Wen Xia sent Chunzi to the airport.

Chunzi is going back to Japan for a while; she heard that her grandfather passed away.

Chunzi's grandfather was also an old senior of Japanese martial artists; although his name was not as loud as her grandfather's, it was definitely not bad.

It is a pity that after the arrival of the new era, Chunzi's grandfather was already terminally ill; even with the spiritual energy of antiques to warm him, he ultimately did not stop him from leaving the world.

Chunzi didn't spend much time with her grandfather since she was a child, and her feelings were not as good as her grandfather's.

But for that chubby old man, her impression was still deep.

Now suddenly hearing the bad news, her heart is also full of sorrow.

Originally, there were quite a few announcements after the beginning of the year, but now they are all pushed; she just wants to return to Japan to attend her grandfather's funeral, and also live with her mother to accompany her grandmother for a while.

Luo Quan and Wen Xia, as Chunzi's good friends, also prepared a gift for them to bring over.

Although the person cannot arrive, this affection is definitely arrived.

After sending Chunzi, whose eyes were red, onto the plane, Luo Quan's heart was also a bit emotional.

Birth, old age, sickness, and death, this is an irreversible law in the world.

She is young now, only twenty-something, and doesn't need to consider these problems at all.

However, her grandfather, grandmother, and grandfather are already over seventy.

At the age of eighty or ninety, it is a happy funeral if they die in ancient times.

And now, being able to live to over eighty is also considered longevity.

That is to say, their time may have run out.

"System, does your mall have medicine that can make people live long?"

Luo Quan suddenly asked the system such a question.

"If it is just purely increasing lifespan, then no.

But if it is slowing down aging, there is.

Human death, without considering external forces, is either because of the disease of body organs, or normal failure.

And there are many potions in the mall that can make organ cells rejuvenate, but unfortunately, with the current system permission, these cannot be exchanged, and can only be obtained through random draws."

Luo Quan frowned: "So still have to go to the other world to absorb energy and improve the mall level?"

The system replied:

"That's the truth, and if the world you go to is advanced enough, maybe you can directly get some miraculous medicine for longevity, without having to exchange for these potions in the mall that treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Hey, when will the energy of this Anywhere Door be full." Luo Quan sighed and lowered her head.

The system didn't speak, because it didn't know either.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and there is no need to rush.

Some things, the more you want them, the more they don't appear.

But if you throw them behind your head, they will suddenly jump in front of your eyes after a while.

Therefore, maintaining a normal heart is the most important thing; if the obsession is too heavy, it is easy to produce negative emotions.

At 8 PM, the second song of 'Women's Decathlon', 'Redbone', went online.

This is an R&B song from a movie, which is called Rhythm and Blues in Chinese, and it is one of the earliest types of popular music to enter Huaxia.

However, in the current Huaxia, this is a relatively cold music type.

Perhaps the slow music rhythm cannot keep up with this impetuous fast-paced era.

Or perhaps the special turn-tone variation does not have the strong stimulation brought by the straightforward melody like POP.

In short, Rhythm and Blues is not popular in the country, and there are not many famous singers engaged in this kind of music.

However, abroad, R&B still has quite a market, and from time to time, a few good works will appear on the Billboard.

In fact, the contribution of black people to modern popular music is huge.

Like soul music, jazz, rock, rap, blues, etc., the main types of modern music, tracing the roots, are actually created by black people.

Although black people don't have so many scientists, in music and some sports, they are truly talented.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, half of the world's popular culture is led by black people.

Although the crime rate of black people is high, the output of talent is definitely not low.

It can only be said that there is a large part of this, which is the difference produced by the difference in education level and living environment.

Everything needs to be viewed dialectically.

But this does not prevent Luo Quan from remaining vigilant against black people.

In the United States, she takes a detour wherever there are many black people.

Mainly because these people's brains are indeed stubborn sometimes; when encountering police checking cars, just obey what the police say, why must they resist the police.

The police-civilian relationship is already tense, and encountering this situation, isn't it just shooting when there is a little bit of wind and grass.

This is also the reason why Asian Americans clearly have a lower status in the United States than black people, but are rarely shot by police.

Because Asian Americans or the elders of Asian Americans know that they should not fight with officials in the living environment of the past, especially officials with guns, so they are relatively cooperative with the police.

And the police also know that Asian Americans will not take the initiative to pick things up, so they are not so sensitive.

This is the trust established between each other.

As for black people, it is estimated that they will not think about establishing this kind of trust within decades.

Straying off-topic, let's go back to music.

R&B is a music type that Luo Quan rarely tries; there were only one or two songs before, and the impression was not particularly deep.

But after 'Redbone' came out this time, just the prelude immediately fascinated the audience.

The characteristic of R&B style is lazy and leisurely, and this song has brought this characteristic to the extreme.

That feeling is really very comfortable.

It's like a student, after five days of hard study, finally going home after school.

Then the parents all have things to go out, leaving enough money for him to solve dinner himself.

Then the game he wants to play updated a new version, and he opened the friend list and found that everyone was online.

At this time, it just happened to rain outside the window, and the whole world became quiet in this fine noise.

It is this kind of comfortable feeling that makes people feel happy just thinking about it.

Such a beautiful melody, combined with Luo Quan's singing voice that is tempting to the extreme, directly makes people feel like their ears are pregnant.

Sure enough, as she said, this song is really very good to listen to, the kind that can be infinitely looped.

R&B songs are like this; maybe you don't feel very amazing when you listen to them for the first time, and the melody and singing are a bit strange.

But as long as you listen to it a few more times, that special taste will be like the aftertaste of white wine, surging into your heart, making people intoxicated.

It's just that Luo Quan's R&B is amazing from the beginning, directly making the audience intoxicated from beginning to end, and starting to loop over and over again.

Compared to the previous 'Circle of Life', fans obviously like this one more, which can also be seen from the sales of a single song.

'Redbone' was released one day later than 'Circle of Life', but in less than four hours, the sales were already equal, both reaching over three million.

Looking at this momentum, breaking ten million within seven days is not a difficult thing.

Of course, compared to Luo Quan's past data, this incomparably exaggerated result is nothing.

After all, she once created the proud record of selling over six million copies on the day of the album release, and until now, others don't talk about breaking it; wanting to see her taillights is incomparably difficult.

Fans feel that magic must be used to defeat magic.

So if this record is to be broken, Luo Bao herself must work hard.

When the fifth anniversary or tenth anniversary of her debut comes, maybe there will be a chance for a big wave.

"Do you guys like this song? Did you feel comfortable and comfortable after hearing it? No need to say, I know there must be."

"Tomorrow's third song is a happy electronic music; everyone gather at the entrance of the village, bring your own cement."

This dynamic was posted on Twitter and Bilibili, and domestic fans all teased after seeing it:

"So Luo Bao, you are also a member of the 'Funeral Love Family' (Non-mainstream)."

"What is the Funeral Love Family? I am a member of the Xicheng Royal Family."

"Speaking of which, was Luo Bao also non-mainstream back then?"

"Born in 98, definitely experienced that era."

"Born in 98, I can't play with her, people can really do it."

"This can also be connected?"

………………

Compared to the happy memes of domestic fans, foreign fans seem a bit confused.

Because they don't understand what the few sentences after the dynamic mean at all.

Why gather at the entrance of the village, and bring cement?

Suddenly, doubts arose.

Fortunately, there were enthusiastic domestic fans who explained on Twitter, telling foreign fans that this is actually a meme in Huaxia.

It is said that many years ago, when popular culture was developing rapidly in the Huaxia mainland, it gave birth to a group called 'Non-mainstream'.

The young people here combed colorful hedgehog hair, listened to internet singers' love songs, used all kinds of cheesy and middle-school penguin signatures, and any small thing could make them sad about spring and autumn, and playing a game could also make all the strangers unite like clansmen.

This is a special product of that era, which had disappeared for many years, but now Huaxia popular retro style, many previous popular elements have regained vitality.

And non-mainstream is one of them, and gathering at the entrance of the village belongs to a form of expression.

However, this form is quite taxing on the respiratory system; it counts as a stunt. Anyone who actually does this is either sick in the head or sick in the head.

Luo Quan saying these here is entirely to play memes, mainly to interact with domestic fans.

As for foreign fans not understanding these, they can also learn.

Isn't cultural export just like this?

Huaxia people don't understand foreign memes and have to learn.

Foreigners don't understand Huaxia memes, naturally they can also come to learn.

Of course, whether anyone recognizes this form of cultural export is unknown.

Anyway, Luo Quan and the fans think it's quite interesting.

As for whether she is non-mainstream, Luo Quan posted a photo of herself when she was in the second year of junior high.

In the photo, she and Wen Xia each dyed a green hair, and also applied a lipstick that looked like food poisoning on their lips.

It really looks a bit like a bad girl.

The families of both people also felt the same, so after dyeing that day, they were first pressed on the sofa, beaten on the butt, and after the beating, they went to the barbershop to dye it back.

In the eyes of domestic fans, this look is indeed a bit spicy to the eyes.

However, who hasn't done a few stupid things when they were young?

At that time, maybe they would feel very handsome and cool, but when they grow up, they get goosebumps all over, and their toes are so embarrassed that they buckle out a sea-view room.

However, foreign fans didn't feel there were too many problems with these.

In their view, this is a way for young people to express their personality.

It's just dyeing hair, others' foreign middle school students play much bigger than these.

Not to mention in the United States, it doesn't count for anything in Japan.

In visual rock, many are similar looks.

Besides this, there are quite a lot of 'bosozoku' (runaway tribes) in middle school, small black societies, and those strange clothes worn, which are much more outrageous than non-mainstream.

So this photo of Luo Quan was sent out, foreign netizens didn't say anything, Wen Xia couldn't hold it first.

Directly asked her in the comment area why she sent out such embarrassing things from so many years ago.

"Are you out of life? If you are out of life, you can bite a lighter; black fans don't have your lethality."

Clearly separated by a few meters, but Wen Xia still questioned Luo Quan in the comment area.

Of course, everyone knows that the two are just joking, so the comment area is mainly teasing the two.

Everyone has a dark history, and many people have personally experienced the era of non-mainstream.

In the early years, maybe they were ashamed to speak, but now they have all become beautiful memories. ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
