Chapter 200 Interview with Time
ps. Thanks to the book friend Deng Shen for the book coins!
The venue for filming the MV is still under preparation, and the rehearsals of the symphony orchestra have basically come to an end. All ten songs of the album will be released and recorded in just a few days.
According to "Luo Quan's law of intermittent crotch pulling", the next song she will release will definitely be refreshing to everyone and of extremely high quality.
Of course, these are just jokes from fans, and Luo Quan did not deliberately arrange the order of the songs in this way. The order of all the songs was already arranged when she was preparing to release the album.
Although the work of the "Creating Girls' Generation" program team is temporarily finished, Luo Quan did not get a rest.
Now that she is famous, she is invited to be interviewed by various media outlets every day.
She could politely refuse the unknown small media, but it was impossible for the big domestic media to push it. Fortunately, Zhou Yangwen helped her arrange a press conference for unified interviews, which saved her a lot of trouble.
At the press conference, dozens of media outlets took turns asking Luo Quan questions, ranging from his future career development and academic plans to his relationship with Wen Xia and Junzi, as well as his personal relationship choices.
Luo Quan used the official rhetoric for most questions, such as being humble and working hard, depending on the situation, and thanking everyone.
However, when faced with the media's questions about personal relationships, Luo Quan's answer was very clear, that is, at least before graduating from college, he would not think about it, or even for a period of time after graduation.
This means that in China, the environment is still relatively conservative, and not everyone dares to ask anything. If overseas, media reporters will definitely ask Luo Quan if she is gay after hearing what she said.
After dealing with the domestic media, foreign body-dressing companies came to the door again. Originally, Luo Quan wanted to reject all of them and not accept any of them. Later, he found that he really couldn't reject them because it was an interview with Time magazine.
As the most well-known magazine in the world, Time magazine has always paid close attention to current affairs.
The most popular circle nowadays is definitely the world entertainment circle, and the most popular one in the entertainment circle now is naturally Luo Quan.
The new album has not yet been officially released, but the electronic version has already sold millions of copies. Six new songs have ranked in the top ten of music charts in various countries. Luo Quan's name has been frequently searched in China, Japan and the United States. The popularity can only be described as overwhelming.
In addition, she also won the title of the most beautiful face in the world some time ago. In fact, "Time" magazine wanted to interview Luo Quan at that time, but because she received this title at that time, it triggered some controversy about ZZQS, and "Time" magazine also He didn't dare to commit the crime and come to interview Luo Quan.
After all, in the West, ZZQS is the red line among red lines, and whoever touches it will die.
Now that ZZQS has passed the limelight, Luo Quan has continued to release quite high-quality works, and has received praise from many heavyweight musicians and authoritative magazines in the music circle, which shows how excellent the songs she released this time are.
Whether it was to gain popularity or to recognize Luo Quan's success, Time magazine contacted Luo Quan and wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with her.
Because there is no agent, Luo Quan handles all business personally. Because he has been harassed by incomparable salesmen and scammers before, Luo Quan's first reaction after seeing this email was that scammers have come to visit again.
As her popularity continues to rise at home and abroad, her Twitter account has been x-on:ed by countless so-called film and television companies and media. She can't tell the truth from the fake.
However, this was the first time she had met the liar who came to interview her in the name of "Time" magazine. Because of this, Luo Quan was more cautious and took a special look at the portrait.
Then I was surprised to find that it was true.
Surprise and joy were all there, but she soon calmed down and agreed to the matter.
The time was set just after the domestic media interviews, and Time magazine sent people to China to interview.
It was said that after this interview, she was going to be on the cover. In order to have a good image, Luo Quan was looking for people to borrow clothes everywhere.
This time when she came to the show, she only brought some ordinary changes of clothes, including T-shirts and jeans.
She found Wen Xia immediately, but although Wen Xia had collected a lot of high-selling high-end clothes, she didn't bring them with her this time.
At the critical moment, Leon solved the problem. He took out a black bank card with a white knight's head on it, and then pressed the phone on the back to make a call.
The phone rang for a moment and the call was connected. Leon talked about his current demands with a girl with an extremely gentle voice, and then the call was transferred to China from abroad.
Luo Quan answered the phone, and there was a Chinese female customer service person on the other end of the phone. Her voice was still gentle and pleasant. After knowing that Luo Quan needed a set of decent clothes, the customer service staff directly arranged for the staff to deliver them to Luo Quan.
Luo Quan originally thought it was like express delivery, and sent a courier boy to deliver a piece of clothing on an electric bike. He thought to himself that she hung up the phone before she even said which item she wanted. Wouldn't it be troublesome to return it if she was not satisfied?
Unexpectedly, four hours later, they drove a truck directly to the outside of Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center.
However, it was basically impossible to move here. The security guard blocked the truck outside and said that no one could come in unless they had a shooting assignment or an appointment.
Luoquan Lyon and others received a call from the staff on the truck and immediately came to the door.
The truck has been parked on the side of the road for a while. Fortunately, it is relatively remote and there are not many cars on the road, so there is no ticket for the time being.
Seeing a few young people coming out of the truck, a Chinese man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the co-pilot of the truck. He respectfully asked Luo Quan and the others in English: "Who is Mr. Lyon?"
"I am." Leon replied.
"The clothes you borrowed for Miss Luo Quan through the Centurion Black Card have been delivered. Please choose as you like." The man in the suit said and pressed twice with his mobile phone, and the back door of the truck opened from the inside.
Two staff members walked out of the carriage, skillfully placed a triangular ladder with a smooth slope on the ground, and then pulled out a row of metal hangers four to five meters long.
Classified by brand, it is filled with all kinds of high-end luxury clothes, also known as high-end luxury or haute couture.
The first time Wen Xia saw this clothes hanger, his whole eyes glowed green.
These clothes are the same as the works of famous designers on fashion shows in recent years. It is impossible for any high-end collector to have such a complete set of clothes in his hanger, but now they are all piled in a truck. Here, Luo Quan is left to choose.
To be honest, Wen Xia was a little sour.
She had heard of the black card before, saying that it was a benefit given by a bank in the United States to some special customers. The most basic ability was that it had unlimited limits. It could pay for anything with a clearly marked price, and it was universal!
In addition, there is a phone on the back of it, which can be used to call the 24-hour dedicated customer service for black card users. If you have any questions, you can inform the customer service and let her find a solution.
It sounds a bit like a modern version of Conch Girl, but it’s not impossible to understand it this way.
In short, the clothes Luo Quan wanted have been delivered, and there are dozens of clothes worth tens or even millions for her to choose from.
However, Luo Quan, who has no sense of fashion, always stayed away from clothes with strange shapes. In the end, he chose a white pleated skirt. It was featureless, but the advantage was that the skirt was made with very high craftsmanship, with various lace hollows and patterns. , the appearance is nothing to say.
Moreover, it neither looks too dignified like a princess dress, nor too revealing like an evening dress, which is very suitable for Luo Quan's conservative psychology.
After getting the dress, the man in the suit just said: It's an honor to serve you. Call me when you are done with the clothes, and then drove away.
There is not a word of advice about clothes, which means that you can use them however you want. It should not matter if they get dirty or worn out.
"This card is pretty easy to use. Where did you get it?" On the way back, Luo Quan held up his skirt with his middle finger and asked Leon curiously.
"His father gave it to him." Seifert curled his lips and said, and it could be heard that he seemed to be very sour.
Leon explained: "Actually, I didn't use it much after I got it. I thought about showing it off at school, but then I thought it wouldn't be good to get along with my classmates, so I kept it hidden, but I still carry it with me. of.
If you want this card, you can ask dad. He should have a way to get you another one. "
Luo Quan smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. It's just the first time I've seen such attentive service, so I'm a little curious."
The next day after getting the clothes, a reporter from Time magazine arrived. At this time, Luo Quan also changed his clothes and put on some makeup.
When she was dressed like this, she turned heads as high as 300% while walking in the Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center.
Everyone knew that Luo Quan was very beautiful, but they didn't expect that she could be so beautiful just by changing into some decent clothes and putting on some light makeup. The most beautiful name in the world is really not something she can hide.
Unknowingly murdering an unknown amount of eyeballs, Luo Quan, reporters from Time magazine and a large number of staff entered the shooting room.
The first thing is to take a cover photo for the next issue of Time magazine. This is the US general issue of Time, not the Asian issue.
Luo Quan is so beautiful that styling is no longer important. If you stop there, you will see the beautiful scenery, and if you make a few moves, it will be a masterpiece in the art of photography.
After taking the photos, we entered the interview process.
Luo Quan and the reporter sat opposite each other and communicated in English without an interpreter.
First, the reporter asked some questions about Luo Quan's life, such as how he spent his childhood in China, what he experienced after arriving in Japan, how he got admitted to the University of Tokyo, and who his best friends are.
Because it was an exclusive interview, the next issue of Time magazine would have a lot of space about Luo Quan, so the reporter asked very detailed questions, but most of them were routine questions, and Luo Quan just answered the truth.
Then, the reporter asked her how she embarked on the path of musicality, if she had a guide, and who she was.
The following are all key points to be tested.
Reporter: "How did you get into music creation?"
Luo Quan: “I have loved listening to and singing songs since I was a child, both at home and abroad, and I listen to all styles. As long as I think they sound good, I will deliberately write down their lyrics and then sing them myself.
Later, when I got older, I found that I was pretty good at singing, but at that time I was still quite introverted and I never dared to show it in front of my classmates, so I had to study secretly at home.
During this period, I read a lot of related books and videos, and gained a preliminary understanding of music.
After I understood the basic knowledge, I tried to write lyrics and music, and then played and sang by myself. Later I found that it sounded pretty good, so I saved it and waited for a suitable opportunity to release it. "
The reporter asked: "The first time you released a song was last summer, so what made you want to release your first work in your life?"
Upon hearing the reporter's question, Luo Quan's mind immediately returned to the time when she first came here.
The midsummer sunshine, the hot air, the quiet room, and the tatami filled with books. It all seemed like it happened yesterday.
Luo Quan showed a smile: "My mother went on a trip at that time and forgot to leave money for me before leaving. I had saved some money myself and could survive for a few days.
As a result, my landlord happened to be urging me to pay the rent. In desperation, I had no choice but to perform on the streets to see if I could make some money by singing the songs I wrote.
Everyone knows what happened next. "
The reporter laughed: "So, if your mother left you enough money when she left, would you still be studying at the University of Tokyo?"
Luo Quan shook his head: "Not necessarily. Maybe one day when I write more songs, I will still publish them on the Internet, but I don't know whether I can achieve the results I have now."
The reporter smiled: "A talented person, no matter when he shows it, will definitely achieve results in the end, especially a humble genius like you."
"Genius is an exaggeration." Luo Quan was not very interested in such a title.
"As far as I know, many people at home and abroad, including famous musicians, praise you like this. There should be no exaggeration."
Luo Quan shook his head and smiled: "I just happen to be good at arranging lyrics and melodies. I really don't deserve the title of genius. In my opinion, only musicians like Mozart and Beethoven can be called geniuses."
"You are both geniuses, but your areas of expertise are slightly different. By that time, you will not be unable to produce excellent classical music."
"Maybe." Luo Quan chuckled.
The reporter sat upright and asked: "By the way, you have said in front of reporters more than once that you will not consider emotional issues for a long time in the future. Is that true?"
Luo Quan was shocked and knew it was time to come.
"That's right." She nodded.
"You are indeed doing this now, so let me ask a question that many people are actually concerned about. Is your sexual orientation male?"
After asking the question, Luo Quan fell into a brief silence.
The reporter stared closely at her expression, trying to discern something.
