Chapter 579 "Let It Go"
Like a tourist, Luo Quan checked in and took a photo next to the five-pointed star with her name engraved on it. With this photo, she could give an explanation to her fans when she went back.
After leaving her name, Luo Quan went back to the hotel first. The reporter had interviewed her before, and there were basically no activities for her next.
Lyon and Seifert walked around, and there were many female singers who came up to chat with them. They were both well-known people now, and they didn't dare to pay any attention to the Yingying Yanyan in front of them. They just started from the crowd. Li pulled away and went back to the hotel.
"What are you doing?"
After returning to the hotel, Leon visited Luo Quan's room.
"The lyrics of the new song." Luo Quan typed on the computer and said without looking up.
Leon moved his head closer, and the first thing he saw was that the title of the song said "let it go". He couldn't tell what the theme was. It felt a bit like an inspirational song, and the lyrics below did have this meaning. .
"By the way, will you release a music video for this album? I think a lot of your fans are urging it." Leon asked curiously.
Nowadays, it is a matter of course for a singer to release a new song with a MV. Only Luo Quan can be so willful. From his debut until now, he has only let fans listen to the song, and there is almost no MV in the album.
“If you were to shoot a MV, there would be too many things to conceive and design, which would be troublesome and the quality could not be guaranteed. It would be a thankless job.
Besides, fans mainly want to listen to the songs when buying albums, as long as the songs are good enough. "
Hearing his sister explain clearly and clearly, Leon only felt that she was making excuses for his laziness.
But in fact, he himself does feel that shooting a MV is a bit stupid. It's okay for singers who have a good dance foundation. For someone like him who has learned a little bit, when shooting a MV, he can only mess around with the music.
The edited effect may be good, but the shooting scene is really awkward and silly, so Leon will not refuse to shoot the MV because of work needs, but he doesn't really like it sincerely.
In fact, there are also some MVs that are of pretty good quality, almost like a wonderful suspense short film, full of storytelling.
However, there are not many screenwriters who can write such wonderful scripts, so such MVs are really rare.
Leon's favorite is the one in "This Is America". There are no awkward dances or beautiful women with gold chains in sports cars. There are just scenes that can deeply resonate with all audiences.
For Lyon, this MV can only be described as artistic.
It's a pity that few of the current MV directors in Universal can produce works of this level, and he has no knowledge of directing, so he can only be helpless.
"Although I'm not filming the MV, I still prepared the photos, otherwise the fans will accuse me of being possessed by a lazy god." Luo Quan raised his head and looked at his brother and laughed.
"By the way, if your album sells well, the total sales should be over 100 million." Leon suddenly remembered a piece of news that was reported online a while ago, and they started chatting here.
According to reports, since her debut, my sister has released five albums, two mini-albums, and a lot of singles. Putting aside those charity albums that do not charge money, she has sold more than 91.48 million copies, which is a great achievement. fear.
If this album sells tens of millions of copies, my sister will become the youngest singer in history to sell 100 million records.
"What about this?" Luo Quan was quite surprised when he heard this. "I have never counted how many albums I have sold, but I didn't expect them to be almost over 100 million."
Suddenly talking about this, Luo Quan's eyes showed emotion.
Unconsciously, two years have passed. She was still a female student worrying about rent, and now she has become an internationally renowned band star.
Such a big change happened in such a short period of time. Luo Quan sometimes really wondered if this was a dream. He felt that everything was too beautiful to be true.
"Sister, why are you in a daze?"
When his brother's voice came, Luo Quan woke up from his fugue state, only to find that his finger had pressed on the delete key, and all the typed lyrics had been deleted.
"I'll go!" Luo Quan exclaimed and quickly let go of his hand.
Fortunately, she didn't turn on the auto-save function. After right-clicking several times, she finally recovered everything.
"What are you thinking about? You're in a trance when you say it." Leon said dumbfounded.
After Luo Quan recovered, he clicked save and whispered softly: "I'm thinking about what happened and what I've achieved in the past two years. I feel like everything went so smoothly."
"Did it really go well?" Leon laughed, "I remember that you were scolded a lot both in China and the United States. When you first debuted, you were even boycotted by China, Japan and South Korea.
In Japan you are threatened by gangsters, in China you are threatened by the sons of aristocratic families, in the United States you are threatened by the sons of capitalists, and you almost went to jail for this.
For anyone, these experiences can be said to be quite difficult and dangerous. No matter which one is a huge difficulty, the reason why you feel smooth is because you have been safe until now.
But as far as I know, being able to get through these difficulties is mainly due to your own ability. Others don't actually give much help, so you should be proud of yourself. "
"Listening to what you said, I seem to be quite powerful." Luo Quan couldn't help but feel a little swayed when he heard his brother boasting about himself like this.
"You are already very powerful. You have been the most beautiful in the world for two consecutive times, the angel of music, the number one female boxer, and the pinnacle of combat power among mammals..."
As Leon talked, he felt that his sister's eyes gradually changed from praise to "kindness". If he continued to name the dishes, he might be in danger, so he improved and changed his words:
"In short, the past, good or bad, is in the past. You can't look back on the past. What you should do is imagine a better future. For you, the good days are still to come.
Even if there is really something worth remembering, wouldn't it be useless to think about right and wrong now? Just like the title of the song you are writing now, just let it go. "
"There are one set of principles after another." Luo Quan smiled and rolled his eyes at his younger brother.
"Haha, I heard it all from Seifert. He is the master of Chicken Soup for the Soul. These words have fooled many boys and girls like me into signing contracts with Universal." Leon secretly cueed his good friend. Anyway, he No longer in this house.
After chatting with his brother for a while, Seifert sent a message saying that the ticket back to New York had been purchased and asked the eldest sister to pack her things and prepare to leave.
The ceremony took place in the morning, and it didn't last long. We were on a plane now, and we even had time to take a nap in New York.
Of course, the three people who were in good spirits definitely didn't need to take a nap. After getting on the plane, they turned on their computers and dealt with their own affairs.
Luo Quan was wearing headphones and playing the accompaniment of the first title song of the new album, Leon was watching advanced acting tutorials, and Seifert was looking at the resume downloaded from his work email.
These resumes come from boys and girls all over the world. Just like China, many young people actually have a dream of becoming stars, especially young people with good looks.
Compared with China, in addition to showing off their talents and talking about their external advantages, young people abroad are more bold and even show off their inner talents.
Of course, it's not a direct statement, but a hint of something like that by wearing less clothes.
This kind of thing is the favorite of many producers in Hollywood, and it is indeed effective.
But for Seifert, it’s child’s play. He has been doing this for so many years, what hasn’t he seen?
He has no interest in a pretentious resume like this. What he needs is young people who are beautiful enough or talented enough. Only when they meet these conditions can they be worthy of being promoted by the company.
And young people with these two conditions do not need to use this method to win the favor of the interviewer.
Of course, the prerequisite is to meet a more pragmatic and decent gentleman like Seifert. If it were someone else, it is unclear whether the effect would be good or not.
Throwing the emails into the trash, Seifert was surprised to find that among so many resumes, only a few were eye-catching.
Seifert sighed: "Today's young people are not good enough. Everyone wants to make quick money while lying down. How can there be such a good thing? If you are not as handsome as Lyon, why should fans buy your bill?"
"What did you say?" Leon took off his headphones, thinking that Seifert was calling him.
"It's nothing. I said it's too difficult to find a handsome young man like you."
"Hehe, my sister and I have unprecedented looks. There is no one with better looks than us in all the images." Leon smiled proudly.
Everything about him may not be perfect and will be questioned, but his appearance is the only one that is indisputable.
Seifert curled his lips in disdain: "Just drag him, and one day I will find someone more handsome than you, and I will kick you out as soon as possible!"
"If you can find it, I lose." Leon gave him a middle finger, his expression even more embarrassing than before...
After several hours of flying, the three returned to New York.
After having a high-end steak dinner in the restaurant, we went to work separately.
Luo Quan has made an appointment with a photographer here to take a cover photo of the new song. All the clothes have been sent to the photography studio, and work can start after she leaves.
Although Leon and Seifert have always been curious about what Luo Quan's new look will look like, Luo Quan is so strict that he didn't even reveal it to them.
"I'm a senior executive of Universal Company, and I'm still your good friend!" Seifert looked very aggrieved.
Luo Quan crossed his hands and refused: "We have signed a contract. As a senior executive, you should have professional qualities."
After getting into trouble in Luoquan, Seifert could only leave in anger.
Luo Quan took a taxi to the appointed photo studio and got the clothes she ordered from Chanel.
She originally designed this outfit to be used as a costume for a new movie, but the new album came out first, so she used it for the album first, and she didn’t have to worry about wearing it to affect the look and feel in the movie. She wore this dress She ordered more than one item, and Chanel promised not to charge her any fees.
Putting on a dress and wig, Luo Quan walked into the photographer and took several sets of photos.
After PSing out the effect he wanted, Luo Quan returned home with satisfaction.
The next step is to record the song, post-produce it, and then release the trailer.
"The new song will be released tonight. Let me show you the cover photo of the new song first."
Luo Quan posted an update on Twitter and Bilibili. The content of the update was a gorgeous scene of her wearing a blue long skirt with a slim waist and holding up a piece of ice crystal with both hands. At this time, she was like a magician of ice and snow. Unrivaled in beauty and boundless in power.
"Did I go to the wrong venue? Didn't you say you were going to release a new song? Does this look like the concept art of the new movie?"
"Okay, Luo Quan is finally going to make a magic movie."
"Trivia, she played the Elf Princess and Queen in "Lord of the Rings"."
"That's magic, right? It's not particularly the same as magic. To be honest, it has more of an epic feel. There's actually nothing outstanding about magic."
"I just want to see Luo Quan do some magic. The look of this photo is simply awesome."
"Could the new song be a work about a fantasy adventure?"
"It's possible that Luo Quan will be able to survive."
"Look forward to the new song tonight. The big one is finally coming. I've been waiting for a long time."
……………………
Obviously, fans who like to overthink things have misjudged the theme Luo Quan wants to express.
The new song she released this time is intended to promote her upcoming movie, and the elements shown in the photos are already very obvious.
However, perhaps because the scenes are so cool, everyone mistakenly thought that this would be a fantasy epic masterpiece full of special effects.
In fact, this movie is more like a fairy tale and more relaxed, and there are not many big scenes.
However, such a misunderstanding is not harmful, and she does not need to go out of her way to explain it.
Anyway, when this song appears in the movie, the shocking scene will definitely not be inferior to the special effects scene. She is very confident about this.
At eight o'clock New York time, Luo Quan released the first title song "Lit it go" from the new album "Still Love".
The cover of the song shows her singing loudly in the midst of ice and snow, surrounded by icy snowflakes in the sky, which is incredibly beautiful.
Her passionate singing voice was in sharp contrast to the surrounding ice and snow, as if it were a song of ice and fire.
The main part of the song is just straightforward, with not much ups and downs, but there are often waves surging under the calm water, which has always been the case with Luo Quan's songs.
As soon as the chorus is sung, the clear and resonant voice directly makes people's heads feel cool.
"Let it go let it go
Follow your heart, follow your heart
Turn away and slam the door
Turn around and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
I don't care what they say
Let the storm rage on
Let the storm roar
The cold never bothered me anyway
The cold can no longer bother me.”
The three-stage chorus is not only beautiful in melody, but also so good that it makes people get hooked.
Luo Quan's singing voice also got higher and higher one after another, and his breath and tone were terrifyingly steady.
The sound pressure and head voice quality are simply unrivaled.
There is no doubt that this is another Luoquan-style classic with both difficulty and quality.
