China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 251 League of Legends Global Promotion Song

6 month 11 number.

The ratings for the finale of "The Best of Us" are out.

Yanjing area: 12.5%
Jiangsu Province: 10.3%
Both broke ten. Seeing this data, Da Tiantian immediately called Lu Yuan.

The achievement of "The Best of Us" was not only beyond her expectations, but also her agency.

At the beginning of the year, "One Woman's Epic", which had a luxurious cast, suffered from poor ratings.

Not even a splash of water appeared.

However, "The Best of Us" did not have any A-list actors, but it successfully broke through. The online discussion was almost as hot as the hit drama "Who Makes the Call of My Youth".

As far as the lineup is concerned, there is no comparison between the two TV series.

The director of "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" is Zhao Baogang. The male lead is Lu Yi, a top-notch young actor, and the second female lead is Luo Dan, the newly minted four-star actress.

In addition, there are new popular actors such as Zhao Lin and Zhu Yuchen.

But "The Best of Us" succeeded in breaking through with its fresh atmosphere.

The success of this drama also gave Da Tiantian and her agency another idea. Doing a TV series seems like a good idea?
In addition to thanking him, Da Tiantian also planned to come to the base to visit the class. However, the agreement to visit the class was rejected by Lu Yuan.

Closed training, no visits will be accepted.

A few days ago, Damimi also called Lao Hu and said she was coming to visit the class, but Lao Hu also refused.

After hanging up Da Tiantian's phone, Lu Yuan dialed Max's number.

"Hello, LU, good morning."

"Max, good evening."

Lu Yuan chuckled and revealed his purpose.

"There's something I want to ask you to do a favor for."

"of course."

As Universal Music's ace singer, Musk agreed without even asking anything specific.

"That's right, I want you to help me contact the drummer of the German Mono Inc band, Jessa Mia."

Mono Inc is a gothic rock band with a total of four members, each of whom has the ability to be the lead singer.

Gothic music is a branch of the post-punk movement from the late 70s to the mid-80s. The style of gothic rock is dark, heavy drumming, low-pitched, mysterious and melancholic.

The most intuitive difference is the dress. Women in gothic rock bands usually wear long skirts and smoky makeup, while men either have bald heads or long hair.

Mono Inc is a relatively niche band in China, but the singing skills of female drummer Jessa are not weaker than those of powerful singers.

Lu Yuan came to her not for the songs for the new album, but for the League of Legends promotional song.

With two consecutive capital injections and the assistance of Tengxun, the development progress of Riot Games has been rapid.

League of Legends at this time is a completely different game than a year ago.

The graphics are more beautiful and the skill design is more reasonable. Although the gameplay is still similar to a DOTA game, it has its own characteristics.

Now, League of Legends has begun internal testing, and is expected to launch on the US server in September and start a non-deleting internal test.

As a new game company, Riot Games is not well-known. When formulating a publicity strategy, of course they immediately thought of star shareholder Lu Yuan.

Then, Lu Yuan received a request for a customized promotional song.

As a shareholder of Riot Games, Lu Yuan certainly would not refuse this request. He only accepted a symbolic production fee of US$30.

With Lu Yuan's current status in the music industry, US$30 is really a bargain.

What's more, the production cost of the song he chose this time was also very high.

When Lu Yuan received this task, he almost immediately thought of a song.

A piece of pure music.

The epic music "victory" was created by Two Steps From Hell, an American film soundtrack production company.

(See the Easter Egg chapter for details on the music.) This song is also one of the most popular songs on Escape from Hell and has become popular all over the world.

The arrangement is majestic. The first section is dominated by cello, with violins and drums as embellishments, creating a sense of tension as the army is approaching and troops are approaching the city.

In the second section, the drum beats are more intensive, with a beat of more than 140, and are accompanied by strings.

As soon as the rhythm started, the majestic momentum soared into the sky instantly, immediately filling the tense atmosphere.

The arrangement of subsequent symphonic forms progresses layer by layer, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

Then, the female voice’s singing is the finishing touch, injecting soul into the song.

The whole song lasts only 5 minutes, but it is like watching a large-scale battle, from the troops approaching the city, to preparations for the battle, to the goddess of victory singing the prelude to the decisive battle to boost morale.

Finally, the two armies fought, and when the goddess of victory sang again, it was already a hymn of victory.

In addition to inviting Jessa Mia to sing, Lu Yuan also invited Deng Yun, a well-known domestic soprano singer and opera performer.

"no problem."

Max asked curiously: "But, Lu, I have to ask, do you have anything to do with her? Is it cooperation? Or what?"

"It's considered a collaboration. There is a song that I need her help with harmonies."

"OK, I will contact you later, but, Lu, we also have many excellent female singers under Universal."

Hearing Max's 'complaint', Lu Yuan laughed.

"Max, I didn't invite her for the new album."

"The game company I invested in is about to release a new product. This cooperation is for a game promotion song."

"Moreover, this is pure music. I am only responsible for the arrangement, and the singing part is handled by two female singers."

"Haha."

Max laughed: "Lu, when you finish recording, don't forget me. I've been looking forward to your new work for a long time."

"It will not let you down."

Lu Yuan is still very confident about the song "Victory".

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Immediately afterwards, the two chatted for a while.

Before hanging up the phone, Max once again tried to urge him to do more.

Lu, it’s time to release a new album.

At the same time, he also informed Lu Yuan of good news.

The global sales of the album "Lucas·LU" exceeded 1000 million.

Of these 1000 million sales, America contributed 450 million, accounting for nearly half.

As of now, this album is still on the Billboard 200, and it has not fallen off the list since its first week on the list.

If the album's trend can be stabilized, this album, which has been released for more than a year, still has a chance to enter the top ten of the North American album sales list in 2009.

As for winning the championship or something.

Without even thinking about it, if there are no accidents, Taylor should be the winner of the annual album sales championship in North America this year.

In November last year, Taylor released his second studio album "Fearless". In the first week of its release, the album topped the Billboard album chart.

Then, it dominated the Billboard album chart for eleven consecutive weeks.

As of June, the album's cumulative sales in North America have exceeded 230 million, showing strong momentum.

Unfortunately, the dominance lasted for eleven weeks. If she could top the list one more time, she would tie Santana's record of twelve consecutive tops.

In two more weeks, she will set a new consecutive championship record.

　The manuscript is not saved, the second update will be late, or it will be updated at noon tomorrow
