Chapter 317 Inappropriate
As one of the world's largest media and entertainment companies, Disney's strength is quite strong, and it is much stronger than Universal Pictures. Currently, only Comcast, the parent company of Universal Pictures, can surpass it in the media and entertainment industry.
Although Penguin is also engaged in media and entertainment projects, and its market value far exceeds that of Disney and Comcast, its main influence is still on the Internet, so it does not have much influence in the international entertainment circle. It basically dominates the country. .
As the second largest movie box office in the world, any movie company with some strength will go here to promote their new movies before they are released.
Those who are less powerful may just buy a few hot searches and push notifications from a few commonly used apps. And a large company like Disney naturally cooperates with Penguin, the biggest local snake of China Internet Media.
The news about the upcoming release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" came out together with the promotional video. It first became a hot trend in many regions on Twitter, and then became a hot search on Weibo, Zhihu, and Bilibili.
The reputation of Disney movies is pretty good in China, and young people have grown up watching cartoons and fantasy films. In the past, the movie channel Jiayuyou often played Disney animated blockbusters, and the quality was obvious to all.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is the latest IP launched by Disney. It was said at the previous press conference that it would not only make one film, and the cast of the movie is also quite strong. It is led by the popular Hollywood actor Dib, a handsome guy who is a must-have for commercial blockbusters. There is no shortage of beauties either.
However, because it is a new IP, there are relatively few fans, so the audience will pay more attention to other aspects before watching the movie, such as whether there are favorite stars participating in the movie or participating in the production.
The element of "Theme Song Produced by Luo Quan" is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon in attracting audiences from China and Japan, the top three ticket-holding countries in the world.
Although Luo Quan's popularity continues to grow, with new works and hot news almost every month, and his commercial value has doubled, he has only made two movies since his debut.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has a global box office of over 10 billion, and the domestic reputation has exploded. She has become China's youngest billionaire heroine. Although the popularity of the movie is not directly related to her, this achievement is real. Yes, it cannot be erased.
Another "Lord of the Rings" movie is still being filmed and is expected to be released around Christmas. It's hard to say what the specific situation will be, but the stills of Luo Quan in the movie that were previously revealed by the crew are quite eye-catching. Yes, I think the box office won't be that bad.
And these are enough to constitute Luo Quan's box office appeal. After all, Luo Quan's production must be a high-quality film, which has not been slapped in the face so far.
Although this phrase has been used in her songs before, broadly speaking, all the works related to her have become big hits, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Creating Girls' Generation", including the recent The hit "I Am a Singer Season 5".
It also shows that Luo Quan is not the kind of unscrupulous star who dares to accept anything just for the sake of bad money.
Moreover, this "Pirates of the Caribbean" promotional short film is far more exciting than most of its peers in terms of film clip editing and soundtrack.
Especially the music, it was blazing from beginning to end. I don’t know how many passers-by were attracted by this passionate symphony and fell in love with it. Under Penguin’s overwhelming and almost saturated advertising, the entire Internet knew about this upcoming film. fantasy movies released.
The music composed by Luo Quan was indeed powerful and fully achieved the effect the director wanted when he first found her. It sparked a huge wave of discussion both abroad and at home.
But it would be a pity to use such a good song for a movie. The song had just been released on Penguin Music, and the next day it was used by a lot of people on Douyin, or made into an electronic music version, which happened to cause a lot of crap. money.
Although this can be regarded as a disguised form of publicity for the movie, it is still not good for the life of the song. If this kind of burning song appears too many times, it can easily cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue and even disgust.
When other people see this situation, they usually pretend not to see it and let it pass, but Luo Quan doesn't intend to make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter.
It’s okay to use the song as BGM, but it would be too much to change it at will and treat it as your own original work, so she directly contacted Penguin Music to take measures against the pirated copies on Douyin.
Warn first, and then consider whether to send a lawyer's letter depending on the situation.
After struggling like this for a few days, the piracy issue finally came to an end. Apart from the version she produced, there was no semicolon online, but at the same time, it also received a "stingy" reputation.
Some of the authors whose works were removed from the shelves posted a few complaints on Weibo, and fans went to Luo Quan to criticize her, making it seem like she was not generous enough and cut off other people's financial opportunities.
Luo Quan was not angry when he saw it, so he posted on Weibo: "Everyone is adapting my work. If I can't write it in the future, who will adapt it?"
Then these people shut up because it was an unanswerable question.
In fact, ever since Luo Quan became famous, she has been the biggest "sheep" on Douyin in China. People who don't know how much money they have have been watching her to pluck her wool, and there are countless adaptations and references.
Luo Quan actually didn't want to take care of it, because he couldn't handle it at all, but the reason why these people were asked to remove the work this time was mainly because their speed was too fast. The remix version had not even been released before the movie was released. When it came out, it was indeed a bit outrageous.
After the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" continued for several days, the third episode of "I Am a Singer" started recording.
After eliminating the guests in two consecutive episodes, two singers were directly added in the third episode. A total of eight people will perform and compete in this episode.
As the first place winner in the last issue, Luo Quan will make his final appearance in this issue.
Although Luo Quan sang her new song this time, the director expressed his opinion for the first time after listening to it. He felt that the song was not explosive. It sounded good, but it was not suitable for appearing on the stage.
Luo Quan is naturally opposed to such remarks, and has repeatedly promised that she will perform at her best, and the audience will definitely like it.
Although the director did not ask Luo Quan to adapt and select songs, his dissatisfaction was still visible.
Luo Quan didn't think much about it. After all, it wasn't the first time this happened to him. In the last time, was he not slapped in the face by her?
On the morning of the recording day, everyone rehearsed as usual and everything went smoothly.
In the evening, after the judges took their seats and the recording officially started, the singers started performing one after another.
This time everyone still sang high-pitched pop songs, especially the two flying guests. In order to make a splash and strive to stay, the songs they sang were also higher than the other.
These two guests are both capable, but it can be seen that high notes are not actually the way they are good at singing. In other words, in order to reach the high notes that shocked the audience, they have exceeded their most comfortable vocal range, which seems very strange. It's laborious.
Singing like this is actually very harmful to the throat. Even a more scientific singing method cannot withstand such torture.
However, in order to stay and gain popularity, these two flying guests were willing to go all out.
The resident guests seem to be much more comfortable. After all, they are much more famous than the flying guests, otherwise they would not be invited to be invited to the premiere of "I Am a Singer". Secondly, they must be better than them in strength, so even if they sing high notes, It won't make your face look red or thick-necked.
After one round, although they are all high-pitched, everyone already knows which one is better and which one is worse.
When it was Luo Quan's turn, everyone had more expectations.
In terms of vocal range, she is the highest among all the guests who have appeared on "I Am a Singer" so far. Her performance is terrifyingly strong, and she is good at various music styles and singing methods. She is a well-deserved all-round singer, and she also has superb creative abilities. Her Every time I go on stage, I can surprise everyone.
As usual, before going on stage, Luo Quan recorded a piece of his mental journey while singing. It was still the small round stool. Luo Quan sat obediently on it, with a timid and serious expression:
"Actually, I think the standard for measuring a singer's singing skills should not be limited to high notes. In addition to high notes, there are so many things we can pay attention to and study.
The column "Singer" can actually convey more standards about singing skills to the audience through its own platform, let the audience understand that a singer is not only capable of high notes, but also make the public less obsessed with singers.
At the end of their careers, many high-pitched singers will suffer from voice loss or even voice loss. This is because they were too obsessed with high notes when they were young, which harmed their bodies.
So this time I bring you an alto song, mainly because I want to tell you that as long as you perform it carefully, no matter the bass or the treble, it will sound good.
Hope everyone likes it. "
These sincere words made everyone in the lounge, especially the two flying guests, filled with emotion. Luo Quan's words could be regarded as expressing their feelings.
The Chinese music scene seems to have fallen into a strange circle recently. All music variety shows are asking singers to hit the high notes. Those who cannot hit the high notes are labeled as not good at academics or idols.
This is actually a very unreasonable stereotype, but after it becomes a routine, everyone can only obey it. Few people can criticize this phenomenon like Luo Quan.
Although Luo Quan's words today are not criticism, everyone can tell that she doesn't like to use high notes as a criterion for judging a singer's ability, and the song she sang this time is also a support for her own ideas. .
"Now, I would like to invite Luo Quan to bring you a new song, "Only time" (original singer: Enya)!"
Today, Luo Quan is wearing a long white dress, with a pure and charming smile. When she sings, everyone feels a holy and distant ethereal spirit.
Her singing is like the devout prayers of believers in the church. It can calm the listener's restless heart in just a moment. The whole scene is not so much listening to songs as it is a purification of the soul.
Such a song touches the soul even more passionately than the high notes, which can be seen from the tears in the eyes of many judges present.
After singing the song, the audience burst into applause, and Luo Quan's final ranking was ranked second, second only to Kong Yue. Obviously the public judges still have a positive attitude towards Luo Quan's song.
The next day, the program was broadcast as scheduled. Luo Quan took a look on Weibo and received rave reviews from the Internet. They said that Luo Quan used the cleanest bass to depict a flawless world, allowing everyone to be in it. Got purified.
Although it is a slightly exaggerated compliment from fans, it also reflects how beautiful her singing voice is from the side.
But when the data for the third episode of the variety show came out, the number of plays dropped by a full 13 percentage points compared to the previous two episodes.
Generally speaking, it is normal for the first few episodes and the last episode of a variety show to have lower views than other episodes.
However, this season's "I Am a Singer" has continued to increase both in terms of discussion and playback volume. Under normal circumstances, even in the third episode, the playback volume will continue to grow, unless there are some problems with the content of this episode. The audience who followed the update lost interest.
The regular guests in the variety show have not changed their song selection styles, and the invited flying guests are all very popular. Only Luo Quan has changed the style of the songs, so it is already obvious who the problem is.
Sometimes, whether a program is good or not has a lot to do with the audience.
After so many seasons of "I Am a Singer", what makes it famous is the countless famous high-pitched scenes that have appeared on this stage. The audience likes to listen, so the singers like to sing, which has formed a virtuous cycle.
And Luo Quan was new to the show, and he chose to sing an alto in the third episode. No matter how good the song was, it would still be boring to some old viewers.
And she herself is responsible for the traffic this season. Although the general public likes to listen to her songs, they may not deliberately go to variety shows to listen to a song without any hits.
Whether you say that the public has vulgar tastes or that the audience of "I Am a Singer" is too rigid and unwilling to accept new things, the playback volume of this episode has actually declined.
Although there is a decline, the number of views is still higher than that of the last episode of the previous season, so the producers are still able to accept it.
But the director didn't think so. Before recording started, he reminded Luo Quan and asked her to change the song, but he failed to persuade her to do it, and something went wrong.
Luo Quan himself was also quite depressed. He originally wanted the show to become more diverse, but it was always boring and boring, but he did bad things with good intentions.
Although she knew it was her fault, she didn't intend to change it. This time she came to "I Am a Singer" to show her ability, and she never thought about singing pop songs all the time.
It was certain that he could no longer sing the bass, so Luo Quan decided to find another way and prepared to venture into the field of Kong Yue, a senior student at Shangyi, which was national music.
As a unique music style of China, anyone who can sing national music is synonymous with being a big boss. If she becomes popular this time, she might be able to play with the name of the entire national team.
