On December 29, Lyon began his own U.S. tour. Luo Quan and his parents boarded the plane together, but the three of them were not on the same flight.
Luo Quan is going back to Tokyo to prepare for the start of school, while Luo Ni and Eric are going to travel around the world, and their first stop is Switzerland.
After a brief reunion, the family of four parted again. Luo Ni was probably the saddest one. She burst into tears when she said goodbye to her daughter at the airport.
Before getting on the plane, Luo Quan had released all the remaining five songs of the new album.
She named this Chinese album 18, which is her age. The ten songs include
Pipa Xing
Not a chivalrous person
I love him
Foam
in the name of the father
Qilixiang
Blue and white porcelain
sunny
Rudy
Compendium of Materia Medica
In the news, she also posted a text that serves as a preface to her album.
Eighteen is a beautiful age. We are in our prime, full of vigor, and hope to win an unlimited future for ourselves with unlimited vitality.
But at the same time, we love fantasy, or we long for vigorous love, or we want to become a hero and marry the lover who only dares to appear in our dreams.
But back to reality, we are the flowers of our motherland and the hope of this country’s future. Use a poet's verse to describe me now. My years are wasted and I am exhausted. I dare not pretend to be a poet who uses dreams as horses. I only hope to use my singing to do some small things within my ability.
This album has love, chivalry, depth, and thoughts. I won’t go into the deeper stuff, you can see it for yourself.
As a singer who has achieved nothing, Luo Quan always thinks about the opportunity to spread positive energy.
Probably many Chinese people have the desire to benefit the world by being great. Although Luo Quan is still far from being able to benefit the world, at least her words and deeds can spread correct values.
This preface can be regarded as Luo Quan's expectations for her fans. The situation of favoring foreigners and foreigners has appeared a long time ago. At least in the field she is good at, she will try her best to reverse all this.
After this preface came out, Luo Quan received a lot of praise on the Internet, and gqt even praised her by name. However, when Tuantuan was preparing for Luo Quan, they found that her account could not be found.
There are a large group of fake accounts bearing Luo Quan's name on Weibo, with only a few dozen fans, and they have not been certified, which makes Tuan Tuan really confused.
But no matter what, artists who can get GQT performances must be benchmark figures in China. Regardless of their professional abilities, at least their character must be good.
As for business capabilities, after the remaining songs of this album were released, both the number of hits and the topic exploded.
The genre represented by almost every song is one of the best among domestic songs of the same type.
Qilixiang, a slow love song with explosive melody and arrangement, topped Douyin’s bg list as soon as it came out. It can already be predicted that it will become a hit in the near future.
Blue and white porcelain, many people commented that this is the best lyrics among Chinese songs. It is hard to believe how Luo Quan, who has studied abroad for many years, can use Chinese characters so exquisitely and skillfully. Many senior lyricists have read this The lyrics of the song say that I will never write this well in my life.
Sunny Day is considered a masterpiece in terms of campus love songs. In recent years, few people have written campus love songs, and even if there are works, the quality is not very good. The emergence of this song perfectly fills this gap.
"Chasing Dreams" is an inspirational song with positive and passionate lyrics, which is suitable for use in the BGs of most youth film and television dramas.
The last song of the album, "Compendium of Materia Medica", is completely a theme song that promotes Chinese culture. The melody may not be as good as the previous songs, but the lyrics are definitely inspiring enough.
The first line of the lyrics directly names the theme of this song. If Hua Tuo were alive, worshiping foreign medicine, foreigners would come to learn Chinese characters and inspire my democratic consciousness.
In the past, many people regarded Luo Quan's only writing Japanese and English songs as a black mark, accusing her of being unpatriotic and advocating for foreigners. This song "Compendium of Materia Medica" expresses her position very straightforwardly.
gqt also spoke highly of Luo Quan after seeing this song.
Finally, Luo Quan's first Chinese album 18 was released on the entire Internet the day before the end of 2016. In addition to uploading v with banned images on Bilibili, the entire album was also listed on Penguin Music.
The package sales price of ten songs is only 2 yuan in total. Compared with the price of more than 200 yuan for a coming-of-age ceremony in Japan, there is not much difference between the price of 18 and a free gift.
In addition, Luo Quan also announced that all proceeds from the album 18 will be used to support poor students in mountainous areas, and she does not want any profits.
When fans asked why he was so generous, Luo Quan replied on Instagram, "I write songs and I don't need money."
A group of fans were both respectful and ashamed. Geniuses are different. Such arrogant words came out of her mouth and she seemed so confident.
No matter how sincere the words of a person without ability seem to be bragging, but for a person of ability, even if he is bragging, others will regard him as the truth.
This series of actions by Luo Quan can be regarded as a complete turnaround of her originally not very good image in China. There are basically no people who are hating her on Weibo, and there are even many people who have directly turned to fans.
However, one thing is that Chinese people have a really bad habit of spending money to listen to music. Even though the price has been set so cheap, the sales volume of 18 only reached 100,000 copies within one day of its release.
Interestingly, on the same day that 18 was released, a domestic male idol also released a single, priced at 5 yuan, and sold millions of copies in half an hour.
Many Luo Quan fans felt as if they were eating shit when they saw this scene.
In the discussion about Luo Quan on Zhihu, some fans started to complain directly
"I say that Chinese people are not worthy of such good singers. No one has any objection, right? The ten songs on Station B have nearly two million clicks. The sales volume of Penguin Music 18 has just reached 110,000. What's interesting is that the number of downloads of pirated albums on NetEase Cloud is directly listed. Yes, it’s over one million
I want Luo Quan and I will never write another Chinese song in my life. I can’t even afford 2 yuan. I still want to listen to good songs and see the male idol who will release new songs together. Within an hour, the sales volume will be gone. Went with two million.”
"The fake divine specialization 18, the real divine specialization Guang, our Li Feng is really awesome."
"This is also a big shame for Luo Quan. Quan Shui, Coming of Age Ceremony, and the production for the band Oveic are all in full swing. The sales of the three albums have exploded. Faded has hundreds of millions of views on YouTube. I didn't expect that in her Our motherland has suffered a waterloo, and only 100,000 of the 1.4 billion Chinese people have bought her album."
"I don't think there are that many people. There are many female fans in Luoquan who buy tens of thousands of tickets. They are the ones who contribute the most to the sales. A bunch of male fans yelled fiercely, but they all turned out to be free prostitutes."
“After all, it’s pretty free on Bilibili and NetEase Cloud, so why spend money?”
"You can spend some money on this kind of thing. It doesn't cost much. Is it that comfortable to have sex for free?"
"Although I bought the album, there is one thing to say, free prostitution does make people happy. Dog head"
"Many years later, when Luo Quan releases another Chinese-language album and encounters a disaster, she will definitely think of today and the first album in her life that was neither well-received nor well-received."
"A Hundred Years of Loneliness"
"To be honest, this really dampens the enthusiasm of the creators. They put all their efforts into compiling ten songs for everyone, satisfying so many difficult tasks, and the quality is so high. In the end, only tens of thousands of people paid for it. I am Luo Quan is probably mentally exhausted now."
"If you want to make money with songs in China, unless you can become famous on Douyin or Kuaishou, I suggest Luo Quan write the kind of Internet-famous songs in the future. With her level, these songs are not easy to come by."
"I just saw hope for the emergence of a Chinese music scene, but I didn't expect it to be short-lived."
Although many fans on the Internet complained about Luo Quan, it only slightly stimulated the sales of 18, which increased from 110,000 to 140,000.
To be honest, Luo Quan never expected such a result.
She actually understands the Chinese people's love for free prostitution and greed for small gains. Everyone in life will be greedy to some extent, so she deliberately set the album at a very low price.
Her original intention was not to make money. After all, all the income had to be donated to poor students in mountainous areas. As a result, even so, she still ended up on the street.
If she had known this, she would have given all the songs for free to avoid embarrassment and anger.
However, although the results are not ideal, it will not dampen her enthusiasm for creation. The situation that fans worry about no longer writing Chinese songs will definitely not happen.
After all, as she said before, she writes songs for free.
In order to comfort fans, Luo Quan even posted on Weibo: "Everyone can do what they can with regard to paid albums. There is no need for moral kidnapping, and you don't have to worry that I will stop because of this kind of thing." Write Chinese songs.
The album's unsatisfactory sales also means that my songs may not be that great. I will work harder in the future and strive to get the majority of people to pay for the next album. "
Although he said he didn't care, Luo Quan still started to get angry. The 2 yuan gift asked everyone to do what they could. No one paid for it, which meant that the song was not that good.
I wonder if those fans who listen to pirated copies will have a conscience when they see this paragraph and pay for an album.
Anyway, Luo Quan's album sales have not improved much, and the daily increase has even decreased. Among so many paid albums this year, her performance can be ranked at the bottom.
Others have to pay to listen to songs, but she first posts the free ones online and then charges for them. If she doesn’t hit the streets, who will?,,,
