Chapter 929

"Done!"

Amidst the fans' anticipation, Miss Luo Quan finally finished writing the piece and then showed the content of the sheet music to them.

"You really don't have to show us this."

"Hurry up and perform it; I can't understand this at all."

"You overestimate the level of the comments, Luo Bao."

………………

The netizens in the live stream play for real; if they don't understand, they don't understand, and they won't pretend to praise it as well-written just by looking at the staff.

Miss Luo Quan didn't say anything about this, just smiled, and then began to tune the violin.

After tuning it, she rested her chin on the chinrest: "The next piece I'm bringing to everyone is titled 'Zigeunerweisen'!"

Earlier, netizens were still worried about whether this piece could have the charm to capture people's hearts instantly like other famous songs.

When Miss Luo Quan played the first melody, everyone understood how unnecessary their worries were.

Just from the beginning, that desolate and wild tune swept over, shaking the hearts of all the listeners.

Subsequently, the sobbing and pleading violin sound told a tragic and sorrowful story, revealing the mournful and lingering emotions beneath the indignation.

The whole piece is over eight minutes long, but just the first ten seconds or so had already conquered all the listeners.

After Miss Luo Quan finished playing, she smiled and looked at the camera: "How is it? This 'Zigeunerweisen' is not bad, right? Does it have a feeling of nowhere to speak of sorrow?"

At this time, the comments were already full of praise:

"As expected of you, Luo Bao, this piece is truly pleasant to listen to from beginning to end."

"By the way, did you compose this on the spot just now, or was it already written long ago?"

"If it was composed on the spot, that's too terrifying."

"Although composing on the spot sounds outrageous, I think with Miss Luo Quan's talent, she really could do it, even for a piece of this level."

"Indeed, even the most outrageous things become so normal when it comes to Miss Luo Quan."

………………

Facing the fans' questions, Miss Luo Quan chose to tell the truth: "Although composing on the spot might make it seem more legendary, this song was actually already composed beforehand."

Even though she confessed, it didn't lower the fans' enthusiasm for praising her.

Just now the whole screen was covered by "awesome," and now "awesome" is less, replaced by a full screen of "Luo Bao, you are my god."

This phrase is a recent buzzword on the internet, originating from the scene of an idol talent show.

A well-known actress knelt down to a newly debuted idol and shouted, "XX, you are my god."

Because it was too hypnotic, it was dug up after many years and became popular on the internet.

Of course, now this phrase is usually used in joking occasions, having a more playful feeling.

But using it here now is completely expressing sincere worship for Miss Luo Quan.

Speaking of which, Miss Luo Quan hadn't composed any classical symphonies since attending her mother's wedding.

There was a classical piece "La Campanella" in her previous new album, but that was a piano solo.

And although this "Zigeunerweisen" is violin-focused, Miss Luo Quan's sheet music clearly states that there should be orchestral accompaniment.

The difficulty of a classical symphony is probably something only those who study music can know.

It's fortunate that Miss Luo Quan said this piece was already composed by herself; if she had really said it was written on the spot, I don't know how many people's jaws would have dropped.

Geniuses can indeed do things that ordinary people cannot understand, but a genius like Miss Luo Quan who doesn't follow the basic rules is truly rare.

It's no wonder the fans would spare no effort to praise her; if they don't praise such a talented and beautiful idol, should they praise those fresh meat stars who look like they are sorry to the audience and have no skills?

Obviously, the aesthetics of most people have not been rewritten to the point of not being able to distinguish good from bad.

And just after Miss Luo Quan finished playing this song, relevant questions soon appeared on Zhihu.

In this place where the petty bourgeoisie gather, the reaction to topics like classical music and art is often quite rapid.

After the Art Olympics were confirmed to be held, the popularity on Zhihu increased significantly, because whether they are pretending to be cultured or truly like art, everyone found a common topic to discuss their hobbies.

And the popularity of this topic is very high, almost making it to the trending list every day.

Just like online games, games with high popularity and many players will be more tempting to newcomers.

A hot topic is the same.

And a topic like art, which has a slight threshold, is simply too superior to talk about in front of ordinary people; it's a tool for showing off.

Phrases like "I'm in the US, just got off the plane" can also be used more smoothly, and later it directly became "I'm in the US, just got off the plane, preparing to go see Monet's art exhibition to experience the charm of Impressionism."

Actually, the person saying this might not even know what Impressionism, Fauvism, or Surrealism is themselves.

But once this kind of thing is said, the level of pretension seems so extraordinary.

In the past, the petty bourgeoisie liked to talk like this.

But before, it was about attending Paris Fashion Week or other things related to fashion and the entertainment industry.

Now that the Art Olympics are very popular, it naturally became an art salon.

Currently, the discussion popularity regarding the Art Olympics on Zhihu has exceeded 80 million.

This data is already quite high for Zhihu; in the past, only when explosive international news appeared could the popularity reach about 100 million, and it usually couldn't be maintained for a day.

And the popularity of the Art Olympics has not gone down for three or four consecutive days.

After Miss Luo Quan's "Zigeunerweisen" came out, it added another can of gasoline to this fire that was already burning fiercely.

The art of music is always so shocking; compared to oil paintings and sculptures that require a certain level of appreciation to support, the beauty brought by pleasant melodies from the auditory sense does not have a particularly high threshold.

Many people say that classical music is much more complex than pop music, but that is only for the creators.

For the listeners, as long as they can calm down, it is very easy to feel the beauty of classical music.

Not to mention songs like "Canon" and "Für Elise," whose melodies are extremely catchy to begin with.

So among the art lovers on Zhihu, more than half are talking about music.

And this piece by Miss Luo Quan is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece in classical music.

Under the relevant question, the first highlighted answer said it like this:

"Miss Luo Quan always brings us surprises when we are completely unprepared.

When 'La Campanella' was released in the previous new album, it already made people ecstatic in surprise.

That was truly a beautiful piece that only a god could compose, as mysterious and crisp as a bell; it is the best classical piano piece in my mind in the last few decades.

And this time's 'Zigeunerweisen' is the same; everyone knows she went to Hengdian to shoot a new movie, filming during the day and live streaming at night.

With such a packed schedule, she can still find time to compose this violin piece that makes listeners sad and brings them to tears.

I always feel that her time is different from normal people; others have twenty-four hours a day, while she might have forty-eight hours.

So sometimes it's really confusing how her time is squeezed out.

Of course, I'm not saying this song is bad; on the contrary, it is precisely because this song is too excellent that the tune can make people's emotions fluctuate to this extent.

'La Campanella' is the best piano piece in the last few decades, and 'Zigeunerweisen' is definitely the best violin piece in the last few decades!"

Under normal circumstances, there will be praise and criticism for answers on Zhihu.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, and of course, there are many people who hold different views on the same thing.

But this time, under the question related to Miss Luo Quan, the trend of comments was surprisingly consistent.

In the situation where the first answer had already praised her heavily, the second answer still chose to make persistent efforts:

"I often say one thing, and that is that Miss Luo Quan is not only the hope of the Chinese pop music scene but also the hope of the world's classical music scene.

Everyone says the Chinese pop music scene is going to be finished; the songs on the current pop charts can't even compare to those second-rate pop songs from ten years ago, let alone compare to those masters from the beginning of the century.

Music is going backward; this is undoubtedly true. It's not that people are valuing the past over the present, but that people today are indeed not living up to expectations.

However, it's not just the Chinese pop music scene that is going backward; aren't the Japanese and Western pop music scenes also going backward?

Even the entire music industry is the same.

In classical composition, can we still hear any works that can compare to those masterpieces from one or two hundred years ago?

Very few, right? Only Miss Luo Quan still possesses such skill.

Her works are true masterpieces; let alone compared to the existing top composers, even if placed one or two hundred years ago, they would not be inferior to those classical music masters.

Don't think I'm praising her to death; I truly feel that Miss Luo Quan's music is too excellent, and she deserves such praise.

I believe this Art Olympics is a key period for her to completely establish her status in the music world.

Just watch, 'Zigeunerweisen' is just a beginning; there will definitely be more excellent surprises later!"

………………

Facing the live stream camera, Miss Luo Quan read this answer praising her word for word.

After reading it, she still had a triumphant look: "See, the eyes of the masses are sharp; this Art Olympics is bound to shine brilliantly."

Although the fans knew Miss Luo Quan was talking, seeing her cocky look, they just didn't want to agree:

"Luo Bao, you are somewhat drifting."

"The world is full of hidden talents; if you say that now, what will you do if you fail later?"

"Can't you wish someone well? If you fail, you fail; it's not like one or two gold medals matter."

"Good guy, the qualifiers haven't even started yet, and you're already discussing the ownership of gold medals."

But thinking that since he could gain the recognition of so many Daoists, he must be a highly respected old senior.

………………

Facing the fans' complaints, Miss Luo Quan laughed and said: "These are all things you guys imagined yourselves; I just think this netizen's answer is very interesting, so I read it out.

I didn't say anything like 'gold medals are in the bag for ten years'."

"Then why are you laughing so wantonly? Those who don't know might think you've already won the championship." Wen Xia next to her suddenly added a cutting remark.

"Can't even let me laugh?" Miss Luo Quan spread her hands in surprise, "This is a bit too overbearing, right?"

"Very normal; one must be stricter with Luo Bao."

"Otherwise, it's easy to drift."

"By the way, Luo Bao can include the songs participating this time into an album; by then, after winning the gold medal, the lineup of songs in this album will definitely be unprecedentedly strong."

"You're the one who knows how to think."

………………

Miss Luo Quan saw the comments, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's actually a good idea; and this is also equivalent to releasing a new album, which means my next new album can justifiably be delayed for a long time."

Speaking of this, Miss Luo Quan laughed strangely.

Netizens heard that she was actually being so lazy and cunning, and immediately protested:

"How can you be so opportunistic?"

"Luo Bao, you've changed; you've become less and less straightforward."

"I really didn't expect there could be such an angle."

"When it comes to being lazy, it still has to be you; others can't compare."

"If the songs are excellent enough, it's not impossible."

"You must not open this door; otherwise, we will often see her doing this in the future."

"Indeed, later she can shoot a movie, write a few soundtracks, make a whole movie soundtrack album, and then call it a new album; wouldn't that allow her to delay for a few months?"

"Right, I hadn't even thought of that if you hadn't mentioned it."

………………

I have to say, netizens' imaginations are often so jumpy and hit the point directly.

But heaven is my witness, Miss Luo Quan really hadn't thought about it that way.

The reason she said that was just to make a joke.

To avoid being flamed by fans, Miss Luo Quan explained: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously.

The participating songs of course cannot be treated as a new album, after all, many of them will be old songs, and the number of new songs is very limited.

But in terms of quality, there will definitely be no problems.

However, the participating songs will not be charged, so everyone just contribute more clicks when the time comes."

When Miss Luo Quan said this, the fans' hanging hearts were finally put down.

They were actually really afraid that Miss Luo Quan would use such an excuse to reasonably slack off.

Everyone knows she is a big salted fish that is rare in a hundred years; she would definitely not stand if she could lie down.

Facing such a good reason to be lazy, it's truly rare to be able to resist not using it.

This time, after Miss Luo Quan came out of the mountains, she really changed a lot compared to before.

Not only is she more accommodating to the fans, but she is also much more diligent, which is truly gratifying.

"By the way, does anyone know when the qualifiers start? I can't wait to see Luo Bao kill it."

"End of November, not many days left; it might be about the same time the new movie is released."

"With Luo Bao's speed, where would the new movie release need to wait until the end of November?"

"Indeed, by that time, the box office will probably have already exceeded two billion!"
