Chapter 217 Warm-Up

Luo Quan smiled: "She was still in primary school ten years ago."

"It's been three years since I debuted. If I rounded it up to five years, wouldn't it be ten years?" Wen Xia probably got very good results in the art exam and seemed to be in a good mood. Without saying a word, he took the paper and pen and gave it to The fan student signed his name.

If it weren't for being a professional idol, Wen Xia's signature would be much more artistic than Luo Quan's, elegant and beautiful, and his key speed would be faster.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I have signed autographs for fans since I returned to China." After signing the autograph, Wen Xia suddenly felt a little emotional.

The surrounding juniors and juniors were relieved to hear this and hurriedly rushed forward to ask for autographs.

Although there are not many students here who are fans of Wen Xia, Wen Xia has not had any negative news in the past few years. She is beautiful and strong. Recently, variety shows and film and television dramas have become popular. Now real people have appeared in front of them. How is it possible? No signature required.

When Luo Quan saw this, he wisely stood aside. Lin Zheyuan next to him did not go up to ask for an autograph, but just silently adjusted the focus of his camera.

"Why don't you go up and ask for an autograph?" Luo Quan approached and asked curiously.

Lin Zheyuan squinted his left eye and pressed his right eye against the camera: "I've seen too many beauties, and I've seen a lot of celebrities, and their autographs aren't worth much. If yours is yours, I might still be interested. I heard that you My signature can now be settled with Bitcoin on the foreign black market, and it’s worth a lot of money. Why don’t you sign one for me?”

Luo Quan glanced at Lin Zheyuan, who was wearing famous brands: "You don't look like someone who is short of money. Why do you sound like copper when you talk?"

Lin Zheyuan smiled: "Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money. It is not easy for us craftsmen to make some money. You saw it last time, taking pictures of a star, buying milk tea and apologizing. In the end, It’s better to still get scolded.”

Luo Quan had a strange expression on his face: "I always feel that you are hinting at something."

"No, I didn't say it's too easy for you celebrities to make money." Lin Zheyuan laughed: "I'm just kidding, no one can criticize you two. Among the celebrities I've met, you two are the only ones who are very good at making money." Not bad.”

"Then you have seen too few celebrities."

"Maybe." Lin Zheyuan shrugged.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Xia came over and asked after signing.

Lin Zheyuan said: "Let's talk about taking pictures later. Wen Xia, would you like to be a model for these junior students in our photography department? You and Luo Quan come together and take a few pictures!"

"You agreed?" Wen Xia turned to look at Luo Quan, who nodded.

"Okay, it's early anyway, so I have nothing to do." Seeing that Luo Quan agreed, Wen Xia didn't refuse.

Because we were not specifically taking photos, we didn’t design the pose specifically. The two were standing opposite each other under the peach blossom tree, looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle. This was a common look in the non-mainstream era.

But otherwise Lin Zheyuan is a professional. If it is just such a simple look, even if the two models are very good-looking, although the photos are good-looking, they cannot be said to be amazing.

But adding a few elements will immediately elevate the picture to a higher level.

It’s the same old way, continue to shoot trees.

"Here, I'll give you a task." Lin Zheyuan called out Wen Xia's ten-year-old fan just now and asked him to stand next to the tree.

"I tell you to shake, and you start shaking." Lin Zheyuan found a position and prepared to start shooting.

"What about my photos?" The boy hesitated.

"Stupid, will I treat you badly if I ask you to do something? I don't have to hand in the comprehensive practical homework, so what I took will be given to you, right?" After Lin Zheyuan finished speaking, other boys also rushed to help, but Lin Zheyuan scolded him back:

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get ready for the shoot. These two celebrity models took the time to help for free!"

After saying this, the students no longer dared to say anything more, and the boy who was called also ran to the tree and squatted down with a smile on his face.

Because the shooting angle was from the upper bodies of Luo Quan and Wen Xia, he did not need to be in the frame while they were squatting.

Lin Zheyuan said loudly: "Everyone is ready to shoot. I'll start on the count of one, two, three... One! Two! Three!"

The boy shook the tree violently, and lush peach blossoms suddenly fluttered all over the sky. The Spring Festival Gala suddenly swirled around the two of them, rolling up a beautiful pink spiral around Wen Xia and Luo Quan.

Lin Zheyuan grasped this rare scene, pressed the shutter, and there was a "click" sound all around.

After about a few seconds, Lin Zheyuan put down the photography equipment and smiled: "This photo will turn out very well when developed."

A group of students also exclaimed that Wen Xia and Luo Quan were so beautiful and that Senior Lin had the best ideas.

The student who was shaking the tree came forward with a smile: "Senior, this photo..."

Lin Zheyuan glanced at him: "What's the hurry? This photo needs to be retouched. Will you come?"

"You still need to repair it?" Luo Quan was unhappy when he heard this: "I have taken so many photos, but I have never repaired them."

"It's not that you want to cultivate." Lin Zheyuan waved his hand, and then Wen Xia cast a "kind" look at him.

"It's not that you want to edit it!" Lin Zheyuan was instantly embarrassed. "What I mean is that the overall photo needs to be edited. After all, it is outdoors, and the contrast, saturation, hue, etc. all need to be adjusted."

"That's about the same." Wen Xia smiled arrogantly, and then glared at Luo Quan, as if to say: "I'm no worse than you!"

After finishing their work, Wen Xia and Luo Quan didn't stay long, and waved goodbye to the juniors and girls soon after.

On the way back, Luo Quan asked Wen Xia, "How did you do in the test this time? What did you test?"

Wen Xia said: “I just introduce myself first, and then it’s an ordinary talent show.

The acting department usually looks at the candidate's image first. After all, acting talent cannot be reflected in one or two temporary performances.

Anyway, the content of the exam was quite friendly to me. I sang a song and got the highest score.

And according to what the head of the performance department, Teacher Wu Dongmei, said, you don’t need to take the next two exams and just concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination. "

Luo Quan guessed: "I've probably watched your TV series and thought you have talent."

Wen Xia nodded: "Maybe."

After returning to Jiangnan, the two of them did their own things in the hotel.

Wen Xia has no new announcements and is fully preparing for the college entrance examination with less than forty days left.

There is no problem with the basic knowledge of the subject. Wen Xia will not force difficult questions, just let them go.

The mid-level questions are what Wen Xia will focus on in the next few days. These questions are also the points that teachers often talk about. Only by taking them all can you get a high score.

As for the difficult questions, they are actually reserved for real academics, and there are only a few people in the country who can master them all.

Wen Xia's learning ability is actually very good, but it is too difficult to compare with those top academics.

As for mastering these mid-level questions, there is no other particularly good way. One word, "brush"!

Do more, practice more, remember more, there are no shortcuts.

What is foreseeable is that the next forty days will definitely be Wen Xia's most difficult forty days. Whether he can achieve good results depends on how effective he is in answering questions during these forty days.

As for Luo Quan, one word can be used to describe his recent life. Is that "leisure"?

Her first year at the University of Tokyo ended early, and Shangyi's second year study career will not start until September. "Creating Girls' Generation" is recorded once a week, and she does not accept endorsements, and she still earns a lot of money every day. , lived a boring life at a young age.

The only thing that can make waves is probably his album that continues to break records.

Although it is sold online simultaneously at home and abroad, and online digital album sales are also pretty good, various records are generally certified physical albums.

Like all singers who dare to sell physical albums in China, regardless of their status or the popularity of their songs, fans in China treat him equally and do not give Luo Quan any special treatment.

In less than ten days since it was released, the physical album has sold about 600,000 yuan, and most of them are commemorative editions. As for who bought it and why, it goes without saying, everyone knows.

Although this kind of sales volume is already a very good result in the Chinese market, compared with Luo Quan's previous records other than "18", they cannot be described as being rushed to the street, and there is not much difference from giving them away for free.

Fortunately, the sales volume of digital albums is strong enough, reaching tens of millions, and Penguin can afford to pay all kinds of copyright fees. It is definitely a huge profit, but this form of making money still makes Luo Quan a little disappointed.

In her mind, she always treats virtual albums and physical albums differently. After all, the former is much easier to fabricate numbers than the latter.

Fortunately, the overseas market, which she had high hopes for, finally gave her comfort.

In the same area where non-English is the mother tongue, sales in Japan are several times that of China!

As the best-selling member of the new generation in the Japanese music scene, Luo Quan's reputation has been completely established, and the saying "Luo Quan's products must be high-quality" has become a recognized fact inside and outside the industry.

After Sony Records acquired the copyright to Luo Quan's album, it didn't spend much time promoting it, because there was no need for it. As long as the official website released a little bit of news, countless fans who were looking forward to it would help promote it themselves. And it can be said to be pervasive. You can see Luoquan's tap water promoting her new album to everyone on any social platform or forum.

Although it is a non-Japanese album, it is nevertheless Luo Quan's thoughtful masterpiece. It has already gained a huge reputation abroad, and with the golden name of "Luo Quan", even people who don't listen to English songs very much will appreciate it. Even with this name, I will buy one to support it.

As for real fans, let alone that. Starting with commemorative editions, Japanese fans are really willing to spend money when it comes to buying physical records.

The sales volume in the first week of release has also been released. "Love" sold 1.03 million copies on the first day, of which the commemorative edition accounted for more than 60%. The sales volume in the first week exceeded 3.16 million, and all ten songs rushed to Japan Oricon. list, but the top position is still occupied by "Don't Give Up", and its position is invincible.

More than three million copies were sold in the first week. This is one of the few good results in the entire Japanese music scene, but it is still far behind compared to "Rite of Passage".

In Japan, this album has been called a miracle in the history of Asian pop music, a myth that is almost impossible to copy.

Because it is difficult for Japan to have three consecutive earthquakes of about magnitude 8 in three days. It is also difficult to completely inspire the national mood with a song in the almost desperate social atmosphere after the earthquake.

Luo Quan achieved this, and "Don't Give Up" can be said to be indispensable.

In the following period, many Japanese singers also released songs with content mainly to inspire the public, but they were somewhat imitative.

In short, with pre-sales of more than two million and first-day sales of more than four million, it is difficult to find results that come close to it in the world. If you want to break this record again, you will probably have to wait for Luo Quan himself.

As for "Love", although the sales volume is also very good, compared with "Coming of Age Ceremony", it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. It is also because Luo Quan's previous results were so good that he single-handedly raised the sales record of Asian records. Up several levels.

What’s even scarier is that it hasn’t even been a year since her debut.

Of course, this is not the scariest place.

Although her appeal is already one of the best in Japan, the real audience for this album is actually European and American fans.

Especially the United States, which is the world's largest record market.

The final result did not disappoint Luo Quan. With the vigorous promotion of Universal Records and the assistance of major magazines, Luo Quan became the top figure in the American music circle during that period.

No matter whether you like to listen to music or not, or whether you like to listen to pop music, you will still try to listen to it due to overwhelming related reports and recommendations from friends.

Then, it got out of hand.

The "Love" album has achieved explosive results in both the virtual and physical record markets in the United States.

Virtual Album has sold nearly 12 million copies on iTunes, the best performance in the past decade.

It is also the best result for virtual records since entering the information age!

In addition, physical records have also broken various records, such as the most pre-sales, the most sales on the first day of release, the most sales in the first week of release, etc.

Anyway, physical record sales have reached four million.

Although it seems that the sales are similar to those in Japan, there are actually differences.

In Japan, the daily sales increase of albums has begun to show a decreasing trend, while in the United States, it has been increasing, and the amplitude is not small.

Looking at this momentum, by the end of next week, the sales of this album will most likely exceed 10 million copies.

Although it is still not comparable to those records in history that have produced tens of millions or even over 100 million, it has at least reached a point where it can be discussed.

Moreover, Luo Quan believes that the final score of the album "Love" will definitely be more than 10 million, or even more than 30 million!

Ps. Thanks to book friends Xiao Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao Menggui for the book coins!
