Chapter 914: Nostalgic Music

"It's really been a long time since we last contacted, Miss Luo Quan." Manager Zhou's tone was full of longing.

It wasn't just longing as a friend, but actually also because they couldn't cooperate, and his performance couldn't be improved.

However, he didn't say it out loud; Manager Zhou had been impeccable to her and the artists in her company over the past few years, providing quite a lot of convenience.

But these favors were certainly built on the sincere cooperation between the two.

This time, Manager Zhou called, and Miss Luo Quan could also guess the general idea.

Sure enough, after the pleasantries, Manager Zhou asked about the anime *Wrath of the Lich King*.

The trailer had just come out, so the copyright certainly hadn't been sold to any platform yet.

With Manager Zhou asking, Miss Luo Quan naturally went with the flow and sold the domestic exclusive broadcast rights to Tencent Video.

As for the copyright fees, they were also given to her at the highest price.

Because they had cooperated so many times, both sides were quite at ease with each other, so the contract was signed quite quickly.

After dealing with Manager Zhou on this side, the fans on the other side started making a fuss again.

It was mainly the music fans; they felt that as soon as Miss Luo Quan came back, she did so much work for the game fans—these people were satisfied, but they, who wanted to hear new songs, had looked until their eyes were worn out and saw no hope.

Having not seen her for a month, didn't the beautiful and kind Luo Bao prepare a return gift for everyone?

Although Miss Luo Quan felt that the return gift shouldn't be prepared for her?

But since the fans said so, it certainly had to be taken seriously.

To be honest, this disappearance of nearly a month was indeed a bit hard to endure for those die-hard fans.

And the live-streaming to pay back debts after the Olympics, which was agreed upon, had also been delayed until now; let's release a song first as interest.

So Miss Luo Quan continued to post an update: "Let's release a song first to satisfy everyone's craving; later, I will also produce an album, with a nostalgic style. Everyone just look forward to it."

This update directly moved a group of fans to tears, especially Miss Luo Quan's music fans.

Sure enough, it was the crying child who got the milk; as soon as the music fans protested, there were immediately new songs and new albums to listen to.

This made Miss Luo Quan's movie fans start to consider whether they should also protest; maybe Miss Luo Quan's new movie could also start filming immediately?

Fortunately, these people didn't do so, otherwise Miss Luo Quan would really be unable to attend to everything.

And for the new song prepared for the music fans, Miss Luo Quan felt it must be high-energy, brainwashing, and magical, so it could stay popular for a longer time.

Lest the freshness disappear in two or three days, and then they come to urge her again.

There were actually quite a few that met these conditions, and the one Miss Luo Quan chose could make music fans all over the world addicted.

After formulating the shooting plan, Miss Luo Quan immediately contacted Universal Huaxia headquarters to assist in shooting the music video for the song.

The charm of this brainwashing song was more than half in the music video, so it had to be shot seriously.

The next day, according to the pre-determined plan, Miss Luo Quan drove to Julu Road in Shanghai for shooting.

Julu Road was the most stylish street in Shanghai; many store signs on both sides of the street were all in English, and you could also see many foreigners reading books, drinking coffee, and chatting here.

Although many netizens came here to check in and take photos because of the rich literary atmosphere, Julu Road as a whole was still relatively quiet, with less of the bustling noise of other commercial areas and more of the leisurely tranquility unfamiliar to the city center.

Miss Luo Quan chose to shoot here, not because of the so-called literary atmosphere.

What she hated most in her life was literature and literary youth.

Any web novel or movie that touched on these two words seemed to have to let the protagonist taste all the hardships of the world.

Abusing the protagonist, killing the protagonist, or even cuckolding the protagonist—one by one, it was enough to make people's livers ache.

To be honest, it was fine for movies and serious novels to be literary, but Miss Luo Quan didn't know why some web novels also liked to engage in so-called literature, which belonged to not even understanding their own positioning.

Therefore, to make her body and mind happy, she decided to stay away from literature.

Of course, she went to Julu Road, which had the strongest literary atmosphere, to shoot a commercial music video, not for irony or demonstration.

It was simply because the Western flavor here was stronger, which better fit the atmosphere of the music video.

The shooting location of the music video was a pedestrian street on Julu Road.

Because the foot traffic wasn't high usually, it was easy for Universal to apply for a shooting permit.

However, before shooting, Miss Luo Quan still gave repeated instructions to Universal, telling them to let the security guards they found have a better attitude toward passersby, so as not to end up with a trending search of "Miss Luo Quan blocks the road to shoot videos, security guards violently drive away passersby."

Her reputation and passerby favorability were all very good now, and she hoped to maintain it like this; she must never do brainless things that ruin her passerby favorability.

Under such a tone, Universal Company also arranged a few employees at the entrance and exit of this pedestrian street.

The duty of these employees was to remind passersby that shooting was in progress ahead and to pay attention to detouring.

In addition, they would also distribute a free Starbucks coffee voucher to everyone, which was equivalent to treating all passersby affected by the shooting work to a cup of coffee.

As for why someone asked why Starbucks and not Luckin.

Although Miss Luo Quan felt that the difference between the two wasn't particularly large, in the eyes of the public, Starbucks was just more high-end than Luckin.

To avoid being called stingy, Miss Luo Quan chose the more expensive one.

After the preparation work before shooting was done, Miss Luo Quan went to the middle of the road to ask about the equipment debugging.

After getting the reply that everything was ready, she got into the car and started changing clothes.

Actually, many entertainment tabloid reporters, paparazzi from marketing accounts, and fan-site photographers had received news in advance through their respective channels that she was coming here to shoot the music video today.

There were many employees responsible for the music video shooting; after all, it wasn't their own company, so it couldn't be hidden if someone interested wanted to check.

So before Miss Luo Quan arrived, these new-era media people carrying long guns and short cannons had already occupied their positions first.

The security guards adhered to the word "civilized" and didn't go up to drive them away, just telling them not to affect the shooting work later.

This gentle tone made the media people stunned for a moment; if it were in the past, they would have started driving people away long ago; now they were actually so easy to talk to—it really was the sun rising from the west.

And after Miss Luo Quan, whom they had waited for a long time, finally appeared, she went back into the car after taking only a few photos, which made the media people a bit disappointed.

But only five minutes passed, and the car door opened.

When Miss Luo Quan came out again, she was already wearing a pink suit.

Seeing her wearing sunglasses and a white cowboy hat, she walked toward all the crew members with a pace that didn't recognize her own kin.

"No wonder they blocked the road; it turns out they were afraid of getting beaten."

Passersby drinking coffee grinned and laughed.

Clothes make the man; after putting on the pink suit, Miss Luo Quan transformed into a little wild horse full of sexiness.

Temperament was truly a very hard thing to grasp; just a moment ago, she was a neighbor girl Miss Luo Quan, and after changing her outfit, she immediately turned into a trendy girl.

Even her walking was several levels more arrogant than before; if you didn't know, you would think this street had been contracted by her.

"Everyone, don't just stand there; start shooting once you're ready." Miss Luo Quan clapped her hands, signaling everyone to return to work.

She had already recorded the song, and she had also sent the dance example to Universal before, letting the backup dancers practice on their own.

This time, the dance partners were yellow, white, and black, which was very politically correct.

In the rhythmic and cheerful music, Miss Luo Quan and a group of backup dancers started dancing awkwardly.

For the onlookers nearby, their movements were indeed a bit awkward.

Clearly, their expressions and movements were quite high, but why was the overall perception so awkward? It made everyone's toes curl tightly.

And the reporters and fan-site photographers, although their feelings were about the same, still faithfully held their equipment to record.

Miss Luo Quan's awkward dancing lasted until 11:30, and it took her half a morning to finally finish shooting the outdoor part.

The remaining indoor part was much simpler, although Miss Luo Quan herself wanted to finish the remaining part.

But not everyone was a workaholic like her, and after shooting for a morning, she was somewhat tired, so Miss Luo Quan paused the shooting, letting everyone eat lunch if they needed to, and rest if they needed to, and continue at two in the afternoon.

At this time, Wen Xia called and asked what she was eating for lunch.

"Today for lunch, I'm having steamed pork ribs with rice flour and shredded pork with green peppers." Miss Luo Quan reported the lunch food to Wen Xia while eating.

Although it couldn't be called sumptuous, there was meat, vegetables, and soup, which was much better than the boxed lunches the employees were eating.

"I just checked the trending searches; it seems everyone is laughing at you." After asking about the food, Wen Xia said this with a smile; this was actually the purpose of her calling.

"There's such a thing?" Miss Luo Quan had been shooting the music video just now and didn't have time to browse Weibo.

"You should check how to respond first." After Wen Xia finished speaking, she didn't delay Miss Luo Quan's time and hung up quickly.

"What did I do that everyone wants to laugh at me?" Miss Luo Quan opened Weibo full of doubts.

There were two trending searches with her name on it, one was "Miss Luo Quan unlocks new look" and the other was "Miss Luo Quan's awkward dance."

First, the first trending search was the pink suit she wore; a group of female fans were praising her for being so handsome and stylish, their drool almost flowing out.

And the second trending search was a video of the music video scene taken by paparazzi from afar, lasting more than ten seconds, with the content being her and several dance partners dancing to the music.

However, the video didn't record the music on the scene; after all, it was so far away and outdoors, so it was normal not to record it.

And precisely because there was no BGM, Miss Luo Quan's dance posture seemed a bit ridiculous to netizens.

And the black fans, after lurking for a long time, finally showed their chicken feet.

"The dance posture is really not good; it's recommended to practice for a while before coming out to lose face."

"My god, this is too awkward; it's so awkward that my toes curled out a sea-view house."

"Clearly quite beautiful, but ended up taking a greasy route; I don't know what she's thinking."

"Really too greasy; I haven't seen such an arrogant expression for a long time."

"I almost laughed to death; is this holding a United Nations clown conference?"

………………

When there were black fans, there were naturally those who defended her; Miss Luo Quan's fans' combat effectiveness was quite strong, and by relying on high-intensity replies and digging into the black fans' components, they directly topped back all this rhythm and successfully made the black fans shut up.

However, because the video's popularity was too high, many bloggers and uploaders in the mocking area had already noticed it, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before they would make videos to mock and complain, earning a wave of traffic.

And although most passersby didn't have bad feelings toward Miss Luo Quan, if they encountered something funny about her, they would absolutely not be stingy with their mockery.

This wasn't the most terrible thing.

If a trend of mocking by the whole internet was brought up because of the large number of mocking videos, the blow to her image or persona would be huge.

Even if Miss Luo Quan currently had an almost perfect image, if she were mocked by the crowd, she would also be unable to resist.

Before her, many superstars who claimed to have nothing to be blacked had encountered such things.

So the fans who had witnessed too many such events immediately sent private messages to Miss Luo Quan, asking her to notify the team to do public relations quickly, not to clarify anything, but at least spend some money to take down the trending search.

Actually, most of the rhythms in the entertainment industry only needed cold treatment to be solved.

The more you say, the more you make mistakes; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make; once the popularity goes down, naturally no one will discuss it.

The fans' suggestions were very good, but Miss Luo Quan didn't have any public relations team; since her debut, all matters, big and small, were basically handled by herself.

Besides, was she the kind of coward who would be a tortoise?

If someone brings rhythm, just respond to the rhythm directly, right?

So Miss Luo Quan posted on Weibo for the first time:

"Those who can't hear the music all think the dancers are crazy.

Besides, I've gotten used to applause, flowers, and praise; it's also quite good to have some critical voices occasionally, otherwise it would really be easy for me to think that everyone likes me. (Dog head. jpg)"

Such remarks were generally called face-slapping mockery.

And it was the black fans' faces she was slapping.

When ordinary artists were mocked by the crowd, who would dare to open their mouths?

They were all shutting up, deleting comments, and taking down trending searches, wishing the matter would pass sooner.

And Miss Luo Quan actually dared to confront the rhythm head-on; if she wasn't relying on her own confidence, then she was crazy without limits.

But with such an attitude, the black fans were obviously unhappy and started spraying directly in the comment area:

"Why are you so arrogant? Can't you accept even a little bit of criticism and questioning?"

"With your personality, you won't be popular for two years."

"It's recommended to learn what humility makes one progress."

………………

Fighting with heaven and earth is endless fun; fighting with people is also endless fun.

After being besieged by black fans, Miss Luo Quan didn't shrink back, but quickly posted another Weibo:

"I didn't expect that I would be questioned today; I only left for twenty-something days, not twenty-something years; it's really too fun.

Besides, fans, don't occupy the comment area for now; wait until the music video comes out tonight, I'm going to slap faces one by one, and then everyone will know who the clown is."

After posting, she didn't pay attention to these black fans anymore and quickly lowered her head to start eating lunch seriously.

If she delayed any longer, the food would get cold.

And just as she finished eating, the employees of the music video shooting team gathered around, shouting to continue working.

"You guys aren't resting anymore?" Miss Luo Quan asked in confusion.

An employee said loudly: "Director Luo, you can be so calm even when entangled in rhythm, but we don't have your determination; let's finish shooting the music video early and slap those black fans in the face early!"

After hearing this, Miss Luo Quan smiled and waved her hand: "Then let's start!"

At 8:30 in the evening, the music video for the new song was launched globally.

The song title was *Uptown Funk*. ===== CHAPTER 915 =====
