Now that the domestic customs have been cleared...

It’s nice to go out for a walk.

Anyway, Lu Chenzhen doesn’t need to go out.

The Internet is so developed now.

Since he can sit in Hangzhou and get things done, why not ?

Without diamonds, you can’t do porcelain work! Without the branches of the phoenix tree, you can’t attract the phoenix.

So, as I said before, a singer’s only weapon is his work! It is both the strongest shield and the strongest spear! …

"A Chinese song? If it's in Chinese, I think..."

Han Youshang hesitated to speak, probably Lu Chen should understand what he meant.

Due to the limitations of the language, it is indeed very difficult for Chinese songs to become particularly popular.

The essence is cultural difference.

Although Lu Chen’s third concert was indeed a hit.

But as he said before, the scope of the fire is still only small.

TIK has over one billion monthly active users.

One million! It's just a small number.

In fact, there is another set of data that only Han Youshang himself knows.

The total number of viewers for the third concert reached 78 million.

All in all, the retention rate is not high...

"There will be Chinese songs, but I'll try an English song first. I've written English songs before, but the response in China was mediocre. It did make it to the charts abroad once."

Tiancheng Entertainment.

Lu Chen sat lazily on the sofa.

Among the more than 70 catchy songs that I had written before, there was a song called "HI", which unexpectedly achieved certain success on foreign music software.

But he was criticized to death in the country.

"Anyway, they used music to open our door, and I also want to try to see if I can use music to open their door. Wait for the news, President Han."

After saying that, Lu Chen hung up the phone.

Afterwards he asked Zhao Ling and Feng Nan to come over.

After Lu Chen expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Ling was stunned: "No, are you serious again this time?"

Lu Chen: "Seriously? You think stirring up my desire to win is serious? Well... forget it. Anyway, you can arrange the subsequent platform connection with Han Youshang."

Zhao Ling clapped her hands fiercely: "What are you talking about! I wish you had this idea! Isn't it more fun to make money from US dollars than from red coins?! Just leave it to me, no problem!"

After saying that, Zhao Ling went back to draft a plan.

She still has to be the one to conduct business negotiations.

Feng Nan was the only one left in the office.

"Brother Lu, what kind of song are you going to write? I've made overseas music before, and it's different from domestic music. In comparison, domestic music is much more subtle."

Feng Nan, who is studying abroad, plans to give Lu Chen some advice.

Lu Chen waved his hand: "Listen to my opinion first."

"Okay, you go ahead!"

"I have written a few English songs, although the response was average. Later, I thought about it and concluded that foreign pop music has three characteristics. The first one is a strong sense of rhythm and is particularly dynamic."

"Yes, that's a point! Rhythm is the core of overseas music. You said there are so many young fans in China who like it, but how many of them can understand the lyrics and not just listen to the melody and rhythm?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, this is also the second point. My conclusion is 'blind listening'. Even if you listen blindly, it still feels good. As for the third point, the lyrics are a bit vulgar..."

Feng Nan frowned and recited silently: "The rhythm is strong, the listening is blind, and the lyrics are a bit vulgar. Hey, it rhymes! But most of the songs are really like this, and the lyrics of a few songs are still good."

Lu Chen: "Yes, of course we can't just condemn him with one blow."

Feng Nan: "So...what do you think?"

Lu Chen smiled, and suddenly took out a simple score from the drawer and handed it to Feng Nan: "Here, take a look at this song. It's one of my old drafts."

Feng Nan's pupils exploded on the spot!

"What! Lu Ge, you are so busy, and you still have manuscripts saved? When did you save them?"

"It's been almost half a year. I had some inspiration at the time, so I just wrote it. But I kept putting it aside and didn't post it until I encountered this thing and suddenly remembered it."

Feng Nan nodded reluctantly after hearing this.

He hurriedly looked at the musical score.

"Shape of you, your shape?"

He looked down curiously.

With Feng Nan's foreign language proficiency, there is no difference at all between reading in Chinese and reading in English.

Every line of lyrics on the musical notation was automatically translated into Chinese in his mind.

…

"This club is not a place to find comfort. So we went to the bar. My friends and I drank at the table.

Drink it all and then slowly tell your heart

Then you came over and started chatting with me

You know I will answer."

…

Feng Nan couldn't help but start dancing along with the "melody".

"Oh my god! This song is good! It has a very American feel!" Feng Nan's heart was pounding.

According to his sense of smell, the taste of this song seems to be very good! Especially seeing these lyrics:

…

"Oh boy, don't talk too much Just hold my waist and lean close to me~ ...

You stayed in my room last night

Your scent lingers on the sheets this morning~"

…

"Oh my god! This is so evil!!!"

Feng Nan's face couldn't help but turn red when he saw this.

This taste is so right!

This melody is so right! This feeling is even more right! After watching the whole song.

Feng Nan was so confused: "Brother Lu, this... why didn't you take it out earlier!!!"

Lu Chen: "If this hadn't happened, why would I write English songs? I just want to know if I can make money standing still?"

Lu Chen leaned back and said, "To be honest, I can write ten songs like this in a day. I won't say 100%, but at least 70% of English songs are written in the same way as pop songs, right?"

Feng Nan pondered it carefully and found that it was true! The creation style of the song was almost exactly the same as that of the pop song.

It focuses on melody and brainwashing! As for other things, it is not so particular.

"Brother Lu, you happen to be the master of pop songs in China! Wow, I didn't expect you to strike back like this!"

Feng Nan realized it belatedly and suddenly realized it! Lu Chen: "Let's sing a song first and see the reaction. If this song is successful, I think the plan in my mind will not be a problem."

Feng Nan was instantly curious: "What plan?"

Lu Chen smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes. Let's go to the recording studio and promise Han Youshang that I will give him the song this afternoon. This thing is easy to edit, all electronic music. Damn, compared to this, Chinese style is much more difficult!"

The two headed to the recording studio.

As for why Lu Chen chose this song.

Of course, it’s because the song itself is popular enough.

The song has been played 6.2 billion times worldwide due to its brainwashing melody.

And at that time, short videos were relatively not that popular.

Purely streaming.

As for the chart performance, this song is also impressive enough.

Won the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks!

And won a Grammy.

It was also the single with the highest global digital sales in the year the song was released.

Maybe you can't remember the song title.

But once the melody sounds, almost everyone has heard it.

As long as this song is done.

That would open a gap.

Lu Chen can then proceed slowly.

If those overseas companies continue to make small moves at that time.

Lu Chen also has an ultimate plan—the "home exchange" tactic is waiting for them.

Anyway, this is the last dance.

It will surely be as brilliant as fireworks!

…

Forty minutes later.

Lu Chen and Feng Nan walked out of the recording studio.

Looking at the USB flash drive in my hand.

Feng Nanren was dumbfounded.

"Brother Lu, I have a feeling this song might become a global hit!"

"I believe your hunch is accurate! You can connect with the speaker next. I'm going to get off work first!"

Lu Chen waved and left.

Feng Nan looked at his back and took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "Why mess with Brother Lu when you can mess with anyone else? This time you're probably in big trouble."

The key to this song was that it was recorded very quickly!

From recording the demo to the finished product!

It only took half an hour! It's getting more and more scary!

…

soon.

Han Youshang received this new song after signing the contract with Zhao Ling.

After listening to it with Zhao Feng.

Both of them were confused.

The incredibly dynamic music seemed to still linger in the office.

Although the lyrics of this song are different from Lu Chen's previous style.

But I have to say, this song is really authentic! Just listening to the song, who would have thought that it was written by a Chinese?

I'm sure you guys thought it was a local singer! Han Youshang was stunned for several minutes.

Zhao Feng's pupils were blank: "No, this guy really can't be the God of the East, right?"

Hot! According to his intuition, this song will be a hit! "Boss, then I will arrange it now?!"

"Wait a minute!" Han Youshang suddenly stopped him.

“Don’t be impatient! We need to work on this song! Just by listening to the sound, do you think people will notice Lu Chen? Don’t let the song become a hit but the singer is not!”

Zhao Feng thought so too. This song is so local! "So what do you mean?"

"Hurry up and ask the video department to produce a video, cut some of Lu Chen's scenes into it, and make an interesting and simple MV to cooperate with the promotion!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"

"Hurry up, I'll give you two hours at most!"

"clear!"

Zhao Feng immediately started working! ...

Two hours later.

Lu Chen: "Shape of You" was launched on multiple overseas media platforms at the same time.

——YouTube.

——Spotify!

——TIKmusic and other platforms.

Especially the MV of the same name!

Direct traffic explosion!

Although it is a head office.

But TIK also has its own plans and arrangements.

However, after listening to this song, they also keenly sensed the huge business opportunity!

We hit it off right away and gave big data recommendations! …

So now! The most dazzling era has begun!
