Chapter 516 New Style

"No problem... Just follow the old rules... Okay... That's it." Luo Quan hung up the phone with a smile.

As soon as the news came out that the new Japanese album would be released, Miki called to buy the copyright. Although Luo Quan would not sell the copyright to anyone else except Sony, this attention was definitely indispensable.

Nowadays, the major music sellers in Luoquan are relatively fixed. They are Penguin in China, Universal in Europe and America, and Sony in Japan. They have not changed much in the past two years.

Although the physical record market is almost dying, Luo Quan's records are still very popular in Japan. The first few records have reached tens of millions, which is the only one in Asia.

Although the sales of each album have been on a downward trend since "Coming of Age", there is nothing we can do about it. After all, most singers reach their peak when they debut, and their subsequent albums gradually decline.

Singers like Luo Quan whose overall sales volume is still exaggerated despite a decline are definitely rare.

No one’s talent is unlimited. It happens all the time that someone becomes a god in his first album and becomes a ghost in his second album.

Not everyone can be like Luo Quan, who maintains a very high production level in several albums. Apart from the lack of MVs, he can't find any flaws.

The most commendable thing is that these songs of Luo Quan do not have strong personal marks, the styles are changeable, and the music forms are quite rich. This is the first time in the entire music industry.

As we all know, any singer's songs have their own imprint, and you can hear more or less similarities in songs from different periods.

As for Luo Quan's songs, it is rare to find such similar songs, which means that every time she creates, repetition is almost minimized.

This is the external manifestation of her talent, and it is also an important basis for fans to praise her.

However, although Luo Quan has tried many styles, he never said that he would try a special style before the release of his previous albums.

This shows that in her opinion, the songs written before are all in a conventional style, and it also means that some of the songs in the next album may go beyond people's conventional thinking.

Fans all know that Luo Quan has never been a singer who likes to follow the rules. From time to time, she likes to give everyone a complete performance, and most of the performances are in the realm of the earth. Even her suona performance is actually quite pleasant.

And this new album has clearly told fans that she is going to get better this time, and it also makes everyone curious about how outrageous her next works will be...

"#%&?＊…………"

An indescribable sound came from Luo Quan's bedroom, and Wen Xia and Su Yu in the living room went crazy hearing it.

"What are you doing, boss, chanting a spell?" Su Yu couldn't help but glance at Luo Quan's room and asked Wen Xia.

Just now Luo Quan told the two of them that they would record songs in the room later, and there might be strange sounds coming out.

At first, Su Yu thought to herself, why is it strange that the boss sings so beautifully?

As a result, after the recording started, the scene seemed a little weird. Luo Quan kept reciting a language she had never heard in the room, which made her feel like she was at the scene of a ceremony.

Wen Xia rubbed her temples, shook her head and said, "You know, her fans said last night that she was going to have sex this time, but she didn't expect it to be a job from the underworld."

Just as he was talking, the door opened, and Luo Quan was holding the lyrics book in his hand: "Did I disturb you?"

"No, boss, your song is so nice." Su Yu quickly shook his head. It seemed that he had read "Emotional Intelligence" well and found the "Position" correctly.

Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, I know it's hard to hear, but I'm just reciting the lyrics. It will sound much better when I sing it later."

After saying that, he closed the door and went in to continue working.

The two people outside looked at each other, stopped talking, and set their mobile phones to silent.

Soon, the accompaniment of the song sounded in Luo Quan's room. It was a shocking big drum that struck the hearts of the two of them time and time again.

Luo Quan's singing sounded in a completely unknown language, but it made Wen Xia and Su Yu's hair stand on end and their whole bodies were covered with goosebumps.

This voice is too holy, like a priest praying devoutly in a church, longing for God to send down his light to shine on the world. The artistic conception created instantly reminds people of words such as epic, fantasy, and sacred.

Wen Xia and Su Yu looked at each other and saw the incredible look in each other's eyes:

When did Luo Quan learn such a foreign language? Also, what is this foreign language and why does it sound like it makes people want to kneel down?

With some doubts, the two finished listening to this wonderful and quite pleasant song.

Five minutes later, Luo Quan's door opened again: "The song is finished recording, do you want to come in and listen to it?"

"Your voice is so penetrating that we can hear it even from across the street." Wen Xia joked, "Lolo, what language are your lyrics in? Why do they sound different from ordinary foreign languages?"

"It must be different, because this is a man-made language." Luo Quan took out a thick book from the room and explained: "When I was studying linguistics at Dongda University, I joined a linguistics club. Everyone gets together to tinker with something whenever they have free time, but I'm usually busy, so I don't participate much.

When I returned to China as an exchange student, the president of the club gave me this book, saying that it was a language they created called Tayu. "

While Luo Quan was talking, Wen Xia and Su Yu were flipping through this thick language comparison book. There were a lot of symbols with unknown meanings on it, which were probably the so-called Ta language.

"According to the president, this is a language specifically designed to communicate with God, so singing it will feel very ritual and sacred." Luo Quan sat back at the computer and began to process the song he had just recorded.

"So that's what happened. It turns out that this is what you have been reading just now." Wen Xia and Su Yu suddenly realized, and at the same time they also expressed respect for the members of this club.

Creating a language is a big project, let alone such a unique language.

As for the song Luo Quan sang, from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese, it is quite pleasant.

As for whether you can understand it or not, it actually doesn’t matter. Even if it’s Japanese or English, most people can’t understand it, as long as the melody sounds good.

There are many Cantonese songs that I don’t understand, but everyone is happy to sing along.

Of course, Japanese songs cannot be compared with Cantonese songs. The former is a niche in China after all. Except for Luo Quan, there is no Japanese singer whose songs can be ranked on the major APP rankings.

However, Douyin and Japanese songs have a wide audience. Young people like to use them as BGM for videos, not to mention Station B. This is the base camp of Luo Quan’s fans. As long as her songs are released, they will be popular. Search rhythm.

This time is no exception. After recording Luo Quan's song, Sony officially released the electronic version that night. The new album is called "New Style", and the first song is called "EXEC_COSMFLIPS" (originally sung by KOKIA). The domestic price is 5 piece.

At the same time as the song was released, Luo Quan also talked about the origin of the song below, and also thanked the members who originally gave her the Taliban language book, and thanked their research results for providing the lyrics for this song.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the contact information of these members. After all, the Japanese take copyright very seriously, and I don't know if they are willing to use this language to sing to her.

However, she has asked Kumoi, a senior at Tokyo University, to help contact her, so there won't be any big problems.

Although this new song is not the title song of the album, the creativity has reflected the title of the album.

Isn't it a new style to create songs using artificial language? Moreover, Luo Quan's creation this time was really successful. After listening to the song, a group of Japanese netizens on Twitter almost felt like their souls were on fire. They said When I listened to the song, I felt like I was in an epic, and I asked Luo Quan if he was interested in creating an epic fantasy movie.

In Japan, Western fantasy is actually a popular theme, and there are quite a few excellent works in games and animations. Dragon Quest has always been synonymous with kingship.

If there really is a film and television production with a Western fantasy theme, Luo Quan would definitely be the best choice as the protagonist.

In response to the calls from fans on Twitter, Luo Quan did not directly promise, but gave an ambiguous reply: "Maybe there will be a chance in the future, maybe."

But even such an ambiguous answer has already made fans look forward to it.

I have to say that this song really brought up a lot of fantasies among fans. Many otakus even regarded it as a two-dimensional song, and used it as BGM in the edited video. It was so cool.

There is no doubt that Luo Quan's innovation has been recognized by fans again. Although the style is indeed unexpected, it has not reached the level of the underworld that everyone thought before.

If you think about it, you will know that Luo Quan has always been committed to creating songs that are catchy and in line with most people's aesthetics, and he has always stayed away from "experimental" songs.

So no matter how hard she works, her songs will still be good.

And this new song is not even the title song of this album, so how weird would it be to have the style of the real title song.

Everyone is waiting for Luo Quanhei's answer, and at the same time, Luo Quan is looking for images in kimono in his previous photos.

To be honest, she doesn't have many cosplays. Most of the time, she wears casual clothes and looks like a girl next door.

The ones I can count include Hanfu, swimsuits, wedding dresses, etc.

I have worn kimonos twice, once when I released the MV for "Pure Land", and once at Station B's New Year's Eve concert, where I wore a kimono and danced to Pure Land with everyone from Girls' Generation.

The kimonos both times were actually pretty good-looking, but they were basically dance moves, and she couldn't find the moves she wanted.

Originally, she wanted to use these photos as the cover of the title song, but now it seems that this trouble-free behavior will not work.

It seemed too late to find a shop to make kimonos right away. She didn't want to wait, which made her feel a little annoyed.

However, a living person cannot be driven to death by urine. Luo Quan rummaged through his pitifully small circle of friends and finally came up with a solution.

"Senior Lin, how have you been lately?" Luo Quan called Lin Zheyuan.

"Big Star Luo, we are so familiar with each other, so don't make all these meanderings. You are the master of the Three Treasures Hall, so just talk about the business." Lin Zheyuan smiled heartily and spoke very straightforwardly.

Luo Quan pouted: "You are right, am I the kind of person who treats my friends as a tool? Can't I just call you because I want to chat with my friends?"

"No!" Lin Zheyuan quickly refused, "If your fans hear this, don't do it to me. Also, is it really okay for you to find me?"

"have."

"Look, I'm just going to tell you what it is."

"Do you have Yan Xuan's contact information? I want to ask her for a favor."

"Yan Xuan?" Lin Zheyuan was a little surprised, "Why are you looking for her? You also want to take cos photos?"

Luo Quan nodded: "Absolutely. I'm shooting a cover for a new album and want to make a ready-made outfit. I heard that Yan Xuan's animation club is one of the biggest in the entire Shanghai. There should be a way to do it. Get the clothes I want."

"Okay, I'll just call her and tell her, and you two will talk directly later." Lin Zheyuan was very quick in doing things. Within five minutes after finishing the phone call with Luo Quan, Yan Xuan contacted Luo Quan.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they chatted about the business of renting clothes. The animation club where Yan Xuan worked did have a way to get cos clothing. It was a fairly large clothing rental company that had Hanfu, kimono and even costumes for various anime characters.

But because it is a rental, the size of the clothes does not fit as well as the custom-made ones.

Luoquan 173 is also a little taller than the average girl, so the clothes she rents may be a little smaller, but the advantage is that there are many styles, and they can be delivered directly by plane if needed.

This is definitely what Luo Quan needs most at the moment. After getting the websites of these two clothing rental companies from Yan Xuan, Luo Quan immediately rented a black and red kimono on them. The style was a little more trendy and not traditional. A ladylike appearance.

It was still a few hours before the clothes were delivered, so Luo Quan took advantage of this time to ask some employees from the crew to work overtime to help her prepare props for shooting the cover of the title song.

The shooting location must be indoors. It’s too hot outside. It’s almost noon and I have to wear a kimono. I’ll probably suffer from heatstroke soon. It’s so comfortable to work indoors with the air conditioner blowing.

Because it was a cover arrangement, the venue requirements were not high. A large enough space, lighting and shooting equipment could be handled directly by the crew. There was a whiteboard on the ground and behind, and then all the props were in place.

While waiting for the props, Luo Quan had been recording songs in the room, and Wen Xia and Su Yu had been listening outside.

Different from usual, Luo Quan sang this twice.

For her, who always records songs and sings them only once, singing twice means a very high degree of difficulty.

Some of it is technique, but this song is clearly about emotion.

From this song, they heard hesitation, helplessness and heartbreak.

Now they finally know why Luo Quan wore a kimono for the cover shoot.

ps. The author doesn’t give in. The name of the song is “Gamble” and the original singer is Shiina Ringo.
