Chapter 832: Rock Hits the Heart (Part 2)

~13 min read 2,547 words

"Looks like classical music."

Seeing this song title, the fans thought Luo Quan had written another piece of classical music.

The previous *Clock* belonged to piano etudes, and this time she intended to come directly with a symphony?

Carrying such doubts, the fans clicked play.

At the beginning of the song, it was a soft piano sound. (PS: The original version has nearly a minute of chanting at the beginning, but personally, I think the concert version is better; everyone can search for the song title on Bilibili to watch.)

Then, Luo Quan's emotional singing voice rose:

"Mama, just killed a man."

Mama, I just killed a man.

"Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead."

Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead.

The singing voice was low, with a hint of helpless panic in its softness, just like a child who had committed a big mistake and was at a loss.

And whether it's a child or an adult, when they are most vulnerable in body and mind, the one they call out must be their mother.

In many languages around the world, the pronunciation of "mama" represents mother.

Don't know if this is a coincidence, or inevitable.

"Mama, life had just begun."

Mama, life had just begun.

"But now I've gone and thrown it all away."

But I've thrown it all away.

The emotions continued to transition, the singing voice became gradually high-pitched, and the torn timbre was like the protagonist's collapsing heart.

In the midst of having no way out, one could only use roaring to vent the fear in the heart.

After venting, the emotions fell into a brief calm.

The second verse arrived, the singing voice seemed to become low as if accepting fate, but soon became impassioned again, and only when singing "Mama" could one feel the little tenderness that remained.

This was just the first part of the song, and it already had so many emotional changes.

And the high-pitched parts were all true voice; Luo Quan's chest voice was like a singer making the audience's head buzz.

This is the phenomenon of the singing voice resonating with the head cavity.

It is the praise and exclamation of the top of the skull for the singer's singing skill.

Like the second to last song, Luo Quan once again demonstrated her singing skill that had reached the realm of perfection and her incomparably thick vocal talent, listening to a group of professional singers with incomparably ferocious expressions.

And the fans' hearts were also wrapped in shock at this time.

This song wasn't a simple rock song, but was split into several parts by Luo Quan.

After the lyrical singing of the first part ended, the second part sounded like an intense and cheerful musical, and the third part turned into a rock style dominated by electric guitar and classical.

After experiencing these tossings, everything finally became calm.

Luo Quan used a chanting voice that sounded like a lullaby to draw a perfect period for this musical epic.

The word "Rhapsody" is actually a translation of the original song title; translating it into "Bohemian Shi Shi" is also very appropriate.

Because this song has changing styles, huge content, and is extremely connotative, it definitely deserves to be called an epic in rock music.

For rock fans who had been looking forward to it for a long time, this couldn't be called a full-score answer sheet; even giving Luo Quan fifty more points wouldn't be afraid of her being proud.

The fans sighed on Twitter:

"This song is too wonderful; music segments with different styles finally formed a high degree of unity, Luo Quan's singing voice is still so shocking!"

"Those few 'mama' lines in the first part really sang into my heart; my mother passed away early, and I originally thought that after so many years, I had completely forgotten her.

But when the singing voice rang out, I realized that I had never lost the longing for my mother.

In how many midnight dreams, I seem to be able to see that gentle and loving woman, but it's a pity she can no longer touch my head or kiss my face."

"It's really moving; to be able to get so much warmth and emotion from a rock song.

This is probably the characteristic of rock—hitting the heart directly."

"I think Luo Quan's song is speaking out for the frequent shootings in the US recently.

Most of those who carry out shootings are young people, and many of them had bad childhoods.

Distorted lives made them have the idea of revenge on society, and finally did terrible things.

How to solve this matter at the source is something the whole society needs to think about.

Perhaps we need to give more care to those children from unfortunate families; otherwise, the misfortune of one family will eventually lead to the misfortune of many families."

………………

This tweet could be said to be a tweet that ignited public opinion.

Originally, during this period, the frequent shootings had already made the whole US fall into an atmosphere of grief and indignation but helplessness.

Those innocent young lives that died in the shootings were heartbreaking.

And what was even more painful was that even though so many people had died, there was almost no way to change the status quo.

Frequent shootings stem from the indulgence of firearms; everyone can own guns, and there are even more people with guns than people with cars.

But holding firearms is also one of the most basic rights of American citizens and is the foundation of the US.

If guns are banned, that is shaking the foundation of the US, and the number of people who oppose it is countless.

But this song indeed allowed the emotions of those who felt the same way to find a stop.

They poured out their pessimistic emotions about the frequent shootings in the comment section, and also hoped to set today as the National Gun Control Day, calling on everyone to listen to songs quietly at home, at least to reduce the gunshots happening in the US for one day.

Soon, American fans asked Luo Quan, was this song really created to reduce shootings in the US? Did the fans understand it correctly?

Luo Quan had been paying attention to the direction of public opinion, and seeing this question with quite high likes, she also made an answer:

"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people; everyone has their own insights into works, sometimes perhaps even more wonderful than the author themselves.

The occurrence of shootings itself is very unfortunate; if this song can reduce the occurrence of misfortune, I believe everyone would be willing to see it."

This answer didn't directly admit it, but it didn't deny it either, somewhat ambiguous.

But for the current public opinion on Twitter, it played a certain promoting role.

A few hours later, "National Gun Control Day" appeared at the top of Twitter's hot search.

The touch of the fans caused by *Bohemian Rhapsody* made them call on the American people online to reduce going out today on this weekend and treat people kindly.

Originally thought this was just the fans' own self-entertainment and wouldn't have many people responding.

But didn't expect that the US, which has an average of a hundred shootings every day, suddenly went silent today.

Until the early morning of the next day, there were less than twenty shootings, a plunge of 80%!

For Americans, this is definitely a day worth celebrating.

What is even more surprising is that this miraculous day was just because of one song.

If they hadn't experienced it personally, the fans couldn't imagine that Luo Quan's songs could have such great influence.

Whether it's a coincidence, or those shooters who originally planned to commit crimes yesterday were really moved by Luo Quan's singing voice and gave up the idea of revenge on society.

This is a good phenomenon, and even after being reported by American media, it caused quite a sensation all over the world.

The only pity is that the US only has one such day.

Even on various important festivals, Americans still shoot when they should.

And seeing many people celebrating on the street, maybe they will directly take out a rifle and have a big one.

And this festival was not for celebration, and the effect achieved was even better.

For a time, "Peace Guardian Luo Quan" became a new title added to her by Chinese fans.

It was to commemorate this final work of her new album, which made a huge contribution to one day of peace in the US.

"You guys are really good at playing."

Luo Quan said in the livestream room: "I just wrote a song, how can I bear the title of Peace Guardian?

You guys shouldn't exaggerate.

If according to what you say, if I take a few large-scale photos, can it reduce the occurrence of that kind of case?"

"What kind of case is that? Please say it."

"The theory is like this, maybe Luo Bao you can try it?"

"I think it can be, and the effect definitely won't be bad!"

"Why do I feel that not only will there be no improvement, but it will make the situation even more serious?"

"Saying so much, you'll know once it's taken."

………………

"Hehe." Luo Quan sneered and gave these fun-seekers the middle finger.

She was just making a metaphor, not really wanting to take them.

Yesterday's reduction in shootings might really have the credit of *Bohemian Rhapsody*, but no one knows how long it will last.

Just hope that if next year's National Gun Control Day has no effect, those who once praised her won't scold her.

After all, even the gods in ancient legends aren't necessarily effective every time.

"Now the album is finished, what do you think of these ten works? Have you supported the genuine version?"

The barrage answered quickly:

"I would like to call it the greatest work; if you can wear white silk for the cover photo, that would be a kill, but it's a pity you can't wear it."

"Feels like Luo Bao's talent is still increasing, and her singing skill is also improving day by day; in a few years, she can compete for the throne of the number one pop singer."

"Still need a few more years? Luo Bao, when will you become number one in the world?"

"Just today, just today."

"Speaking reasonably, a digital album only sells for thirty yuan, less than a cup of the first milk tea of spring is enough. If you still listen to pirated versions, then I really have nothing to say."

………………

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "The general environment in China is like this; genuine and pirated versions cannot be forced, and there is no way to force them.

But for those fans who insist on using genuine versions, I definitely express my twelve points of gratitude; your support is the motivation for us to persist in creation.

If there was no support from you, then I might have been forced to change careers because of poor sales when I released my first mini-album.

In short, thank you."

Luo Quan paused and said again:

"Of course, these words are said from the perspective of a successful person who is already worry-free about food and clothing.

There are actually many strivers in China who can only maintain food and clothing by creation; their works are actually the hardest hit areas for piracy.

I can say that genuine or pirated doesn't matter, because I don't lack this bit of money anymore.

But they are different; what they lack is this money.

Being generous at the expense of others is a very shameless behavior, so here, I still appeal to everyone, if you have the conditions, try your best to support the genuine version!"

These words caused the fans to praise her one after another:

"Like for Luo Bao's pattern."

"Actually, people should be like this: when poor, cultivate oneself; when successful, benefit the world."

"It's a pity it's easy to say, but there are really too few who can truly achieve unity of knowledge and action like Luo Quan."

"So this is the place where Luo Bao attracts me; I decided to give this damn charming woman a chance to get close to me."

"Dreaming at the slightest disagreement, right?"

"Can you have some face, showing off in front of me, right?"

"Let me come, my urine splits, just right you two can both be taken care of."

"What dual-threading?"

………………

Originally, everything was fine at the beginning, but after a while, the comment section started daydreaming again.

It seems that fans are always tireless about promoting the sovereignty of possessing Luo Quan.

Even if they take some advantage verbally, they will feel incomparably comfortable.

In this situation, Luo Quan has nothing else to say except helplessness.

Can only say it's all spoiled.

At the beginning, when the fans called her wife, she didn't stop it; now wanting to correct it is simply a pipe dream.

However, someone once said that life is like that, since you can't resist, then enjoy it.

There aren't many female stars qualified to be the "national wife," this is proof of her popularity.

"By the way, the Overwatch 2 test is about to start; this time it's an unlimited-number paid deletion test, and the mall will list some out-of-print skins.

Everyone can spend money, or get them through game currency.

Although the files will be deleted, these skins will finally be saved to your game account after the server opens.

So fans who like Overwatch can prepare to act."

Luo Quan's "hurry up and act" is very clear, meaning you either spend money or grind, in short, the out-of-print skins for the internal test are there, miss this village and there won't be this shop.

For student parties without money, this is undoubtedly bad news.

The time period of the second test is just not long after school starts, the study task is heavy, and Overwatch also has anti-addiction, minors can't play for long at all.

Just hope the price of those skins won't be too expensive.

When the fans asked about the price of the out-of-print skins for this internal test, Luo Quan's answer made most people feel a little relieved:

"Rest assured, the prices of most internal test skins are relatively low, fifty, seventy-nine, ninety-nine, etc., about the same as the pricing of League of Legends.

Only two skins have a relatively high level, so the price is quite expensive, but it's best for everyone to act according to their ability when spending money; after all, skins won't increase any combat power for you, if you can't hit people, you still can't hit people."

Once this sentence came out, the fans were unhappy:

"Who are you looking down on?"

"Marksmanship can be sloppy, but the skin must be handsome!"

"Is this something a planner should say? Not squeezing my wallet dry, still thinking of ways to save money for me, right?"

…………

Such words made Luo Quan laugh and cry. ===== CHAPTER 833 =====
