Chapter 145 The first global hit single with Swift

On this day, Lu Tianwang also ushered in his first personal holiday.

From February 2th to now, Lu Yuan has been making announcements for a month continuously and has hardly had a complete day's rest.

People are not machines, they will always get tired.

During the rare rest time, Boss Lu was not idle either. He had to go on an appointment at noon.

While attending the South by Southwest Music Festival, he met a new generation singer, America's most popular new female country singer Taylor.

South by Southwest is one of the most influential music festivals in America. For the opening performance on the 12th, the only new generation singers invited were Lu Yuan and Taylor.

So, that’s how the two met.

Today, Taylor asked Lu Yuan to meet, mainly because he wanted to ask him about his single-playing skills.

Lu Yuan's single ranked second on the Billboard singles chart in just 8 weeks, while her single "Teardrops on My Guitar" only ranked 39th on the chart for 15 weeks.

Seeing King Lu's fierce performance, little girl Taylor burst into tears.

However, just when Lu Yuan was about to go out for the appointment, Max got a call.

"Haha."

As soon as the call was connected, Max's trademark smile came over.

"LU, do you still remember the song "unstoppable"?"

Of course, Lu Yuan would never forget this song, and he had always remembered that promise. Now that he heard Max's beaming voice, his heart moved.

"Max, from what you're saying, there should be news?"

"LU, you really have no sense of humor."

Max complained a little, and then broke the news.

"YES!"

"Just now, Porsche sent an email, "Unstoppable" was selected as the global promotion song for the Porsche Cayenne."

"On the 28th, Cayenne's new commercial will be launched globally."

At this point, Max couldn't help but curse.

"Damn!"

"The commercial will go online on the 28th, and the email was just sent out today, cunning Porsche!"

"By the way, LU, the offer from Porsche is not a fixed remuneration, but a floating term."

"In the agreement they provided, if "unstoppable" can land in the top ten of the American Billboard Hot 30 or the top ten of the UK Chart (Eagle Country Pop Music Chart), you can get a commercial copyright fee of [-] US dollars.

Top five, $50.

Top three, $70
If you win the championship, the commercial copyright fee will be $200 million.

Of course, if it doesn't make it into the top ten, Porsche will only pay a royalties fee of 10 U.S. dollars. "

Hearing such an offer, Lu Yuan didn't feel slighted or anything, he just sighed that Porsche really knew how to play.

An advertising single can lead to a betting agreement.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan replied: "I can accept this offer, but a condition needs to be added to the contract. The commercial copyright of this song is limited to the Cayenne series."

As for other series?
That's another price.

"Of course!"

Max blurted out: "LU, even if you don't tell me, I will do this. I want to win the entire series of advertising singles for 30 dollars. That is a fool's dream!"

"As for copyright licensing, we at Universal have extensive experience. For $30, Porsche can only buy the rights to use one advertising single."

"Next year, do you want to continue using it?"

"That will cost more!"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied: "OK, then I will just wait for the good news."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Max happily accepted the task. At this time, Lu Yuan was a big treasure in his eyes.

As long as no major interests are involved, he will stand by Lu Yuan unconditionally.Immediately afterwards, the two took the opportunity to talk about global singles. According to the original plan, "Counting Stars" would be Lu Yuan's first global single song.

But plans don't always keep up with changes.

If an agreement can be reached with Porsche, the first global single will be "unstoppable".

Strictly speaking, brand promotion songs and singers achieve mutual success.

When a brand invites a well-known singer, it can not only obtain a high-quality advertising song, but also use the singer's popularity to promote the brand.

Singers can gain constant exposure from advertising songs.

After all, advertising songs will eventually be released on TV, the Internet and other distribution channels. Every time an advertisement is played, it is an exposure.

The most important thing is that this part of the exposure does not require a dime from the record company.

After deciding on the promotional song, Lu Yuan tidied up a little, put on a mask and sunglasses, and then went out.

Cover it up, that's a must.

There are more paparazzi in America than there are gangsters in China. With Lu Yuan's current popularity, if he doesn't dress up in disguise, he will probably be followed and photographed.

About half an hour later, Lu Yuan met the still young Taylor in a Western restaurant.

The long, slightly curly blond hair seemed a little different from the Taylor Lu Yuan remembered. He was most impressed by Taylor when he had short hair.

"Lu, congratulations!"

As soon as the two met, the girl Taylor sent congratulations to Lu Yuan.

For a newcomer, Billboard No. 2 is already a very amazing achievement.

"Haha, congratulations to you too."

Lu Yuan smiled and sat across from Taylor. Last week, Taylor's solo debut album ranked 200th on the Billboard 12 album list.

Time on the list, 71 weeks!
Calculated based on one month and four weeks, Taylor's solo debut album stayed on the charts for nearly 18 months and was a hot seller for as long as a year and a half.

Lu Yuan vaguely remembered that Taylor's first solo album had been on the charts for more than 200 weeks, but he couldn't remember the exact number.

It has been on the list for more than 5 years, a very scary record.

Hearing this, Taylor said with a grimace: "If it were No. 12 on the singles chart, I would accept your congratulations."

"Tyler, you have to believe in yourself."

Seeing the future queen with a sad face, Lu Yuan laughed and encouraged: "I believe that your second album will definitely be better and better than the first one."

"of course."

At the mention of this, Taylor's expression suddenly changed and he raised his eyebrows proudly.

She is very confident about her new album.

As the curve of single "Teardrops on My Guitar" begins to decline, Big Machine and Taylor have confirmed plans for a new album.

The new album is expected to be released in November this year.

Poor Taylor, after finally having some free time recently, he will soon be busy again.

Immediately afterwards, Taylor began to introduce his second album to Lu Yuan. His little expressions and movements were full of expectation and longing.

During this period, Lu Yuan chimed in from time to time.

When he came into contact with Taylor, he actually had no intention of LSB. He just wanted to observe the international diva in her infancy up close.

While the two were discussing, photos of the two 'dating' had been exposed on the Internet.

America's paparazzi are everywhere.

Although Lu Yuan was very careful, he couldn't resist Taylor's big heart, so the paparazzi who took the photo followed Taylor all the way.

Of the two of them, one is the hottest new singer in recent times, and the other is the new female country singer with the strongest momentum.

When he took the photo of the two of them on a 'date' together, the reporter wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

In the end, the paparazzi sold the photos to a well-known tabloid for $5000.
