China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 103 The troubles of happiness

After discussing the details of the signing, Lu Yuan started working on recording the new song "unstoppable".

Max and Liang Kangni did not leave, but stayed, preparing to observe Lu Yuan's singing skills up close.

As a result, when he heard the singing coming from the headphones, Musk seemed to forget the purpose of the inspection and devoted himself to the melody.

"I'll smile, I know what it takes to fool this town
I will smile in the face of fooling, no matter what price everyone has to bear

I'll do it 'til the sun goes down
I'll hold on to myself till the night falls
and all through the night time
Even through the boundless darkness..."

"Unstoppable" is also an inspirational song, one of the masterpieces of Tu-Ao singer-songwriter SIA.

This song was originally written for Adele, the queen of Eagle Country, but Adele didn't want it. Then, SIA gave the song to Katy Perry.

As a result, Fruit Sister also didn’t want it.

In the end, SIA simply sang it herself and put it on her seventh album, although the song did not appear on the Billboard singles chart.

But just like "wake" and "this is it", not being on the B chart does not mean that the quality of the song is poor.

When SIA released the album, they did not choose "unstoppable" to list because this song was rejected by two queens.

Furthermore, she herself had little confidence in the song.

Later, "unstoppable" not only became the theme song of the NBA 15-16 season, but was also selected as the promotional song for the 16 Rio Olympics.

Then, the song exploded.

It wasn't until 22 that an old song that had been released for six years could be re-listed on the Billboard, ranking highest at No. 28 and staying on the list for 15 weeks.

It can be seen that the quality of this song is absolutely no problem!

When it comes to recording songs, Lu Yuan is a typical quick shooter.

A song can be recorded in a little over two or three hours. Even among a group of powerful singers, this speed is considered fast.

After all, his voice condition is extremely talented, and his singing skills are at least T1 level. As long as he doesn't squander it randomly, it is certain that he will enter T0 level in the future.

Moreover, he still has the finished song in his head as a reference.

In this way, the speed will naturally increase by thousands of miles.

When Lu Yuan came out of the recording room, Max opened his arms and hugged him.

"Lu, I think I should send your song to Porsche headquarters and ask them to pay a promotion fee."

Although this sentence was half-joking, Max was really moved by it.

Look how fitting this song is for a Porsche.

【I'm unstoppable
I am unstoppable

I'm a Porsche with no brakes
Like a Porsche without brakes
I'm invincible
I am indestructible]

Porsche is unstoppable!

What a performance car!
As for the brakes?
On the field, those crazy racers wanted to weld the accelerator to death.

brake?

What is that?
Who cares?
Lu Yuan thought Max was joking, so he followed his words and joked.

"Max, what do you think the price is appropriate?"

"Well."

Max frowned and said, "I think $60 is a very appropriate price."

As one of the world's largest record companies, Universal Music and Porsche certainly have cooperation. What's more, Universal's parent company, Vivendi Group, is headquartered in Europe.

Converted to RMB, 60 US dollars is relatively expensive for domestic companies, but for Porsche, it is the price of a few 911s.

Very cheap.

"Wow." Lu Yuan pretended to be surprised: "It can be sold for so much money, Max, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Max shrugged and said truthfully: "Lu, I can't guarantee whether it can happen or not." Huh?
Hearing this answer, Lu Yuan was stunned.

Is this for real?

For a moment, Lu Yuan didn't think so.

"Of course, I don't mean to force it."

"Okay, I'm going to start recording the next song, Max, see you later."

After drinking some water, Lu Yuan returned to the recording room and recorded "Hall of Fame"
“You can move a mountain, you can break rocks
You can move mountains, you can smash rocks

You could be a master, don't wait for luck
You can be the master of fate, you don't need to wait for luck to come

Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself
Give it a go and you'll see

Standing in the hall of fame
I am standing in the Hall of Fame..."

Hearing the music coming from the headphones, Max once again showed a tangled expression.

Why, another song like this!
OMG!

The quality of each song is so high. How to choose a single song?
So far, Max has seen eight songs, except for the one "oh father" which is not suitable for charting.

One of the other seven songs counts as one, and they are all suitable for singles.

However, America, or in other words, the European and American music scene, has its own methods for selling singles. Within a certain period of time, it is best to focus on one song.

Only by concentrating your efforts can the single reach a higher ranking.

Even if it only enters the top ten, it will be a huge improvement for the album's sales. If it can become the number one single, it will definitely be nominated for some music awards.

For example, Grammy, Juno Awards (Maple Leaf Country Grammy), MTV Music Video Awards, American Music Awards, etc.

It would be a great thing to receive these awards, even if they are just nominated.

However, Max is now trapped in the troubles of happiness.

A hand of good cards, which one should be played first?

It would be a pity for Max to abandon any one of them.

How about releasing six singles in one go?

Each month, a single will be released, so the album’s promotion period can be extended to half a year.

With the quality of Lu Yuan's new song, Max is not sure whether it can win the championship, but it should not be a problem if it lands on the Billboard Hot [-] Singles Chart.

One album and six songs entered the Billboard Hot [-] singles chart. This news is shocking enough and can greatly increase the sales of the album.

However, in this case, it is easy to disperse the firepower.

For example, Max is very optimistic about "Counting Stars". This song definitely has the potential to hit the top five on the Billboard, or even win the championship.

There is also the song "Hall of Fame" that Lu Yuan just sang, which also has the potential to hit the championship single.

If you choose six songs to be released one after another, these two songs may not even make it into the top five?
Is the champion single given priority?
Or does sales take priority?
This issue must be studied carefully. Max is planning to fly back to America with these songs and convene people from the marketing department to hold a meeting to discuss it.

"Lu, this song of yours is also very good!"

When Lu Yuan walked out of the recording room again, Max immediately came to him and said very annoyed.

"You really posed a problem for me. Your new songs are all so good. I don't know how to choose a solo song."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and echoed: "Max, I also have the same troubles as you."

The song Hall of Fame is certainly not bad.

It topped the UK singles chart in Eagle Country.

The UK singles chart is very influential in Europe.

If "Hall of Fame" is released to hit the Billboard singles, as long as it announces the goal, it's hard to say whether it can win the championship. If it reaches the top [-], it should be determined by hand.
