While Han Youshang was preparing to upload a new song.

It was morning in the United States.

A network summary meeting is being held quietly.

Attendees at the meeting were various foreign music companies.

Among them are international giants such as Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music.

"Everyone, after our little efforts, this matter has finally been suppressed."

Andre, the president of Universal, smiled faintly.

"This Dragon countryman named Lu Chen, huh, does he really think that he can gain a foothold on the international stage just because he is a little famous in his country? It's simply wishful thinking."

Sony CEO Jem sneered.

"That's right. The international music market is not that easy to break into. He is too young. We have the final say on what kind of music international fans like to listen to."

"That is, what kind of music can an Asian understand? Our Western music is the authentic one."

"Yeah, his music is probably just to please those fans in his country who have never seen it before."

At the meeting, a group of executives were talking to each other.

Showing shamelessness to the fullest.

The faces of the Dragon Country are not allowed to appear in this international arena.

This is almost an unspoken rule that is followed by everyone.

It is a shackle placed on the heads of Dragon Country singers.

The dragon strategy will be consistently implemented in all dimensions from beginning to end!

And just as a group of people were laughing.

“Boom boom boom!”

Sudden!

Andre in the main conference room heard a rapid knock on the door.

Attracted everyone's attention.

"Come in!"

A subordinate came in hurriedly.

I saw the big shots on the projection screen in the conference room.

The subordinate hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Andre asked. "Go ahead."

The subordinate nodded and said, "Mr. Andre, I just received news that the Dragon Countryman has released songs on various platforms! Especially TIK, the speed at which the number of plays has soared is somewhat alarming."

As soon as these words came out.

The meeting room suddenly became quiet!

Almost the next second.

One by one, the senior executives went offline at the same time. Compared with reporting, they always believed in what they knew more.

Lu Chen released a new song overseas?

And the number of views is somewhat surprising?

How is this possible!

What a joke! What on earth happened?! …

Richard is a very ordinary fan.

I often listen to music while driving on my way to work.

This is the habit of almost 99% of Americans.

So I opened the music software as usual.

Unlike other people who like to listen to songs of their idols.

He usually chooses songs from the new song page.

Let's see if there are any new songs that sound good.

"Shape of You? Is this singer from Dragon Country? Or from some other country in Asia?"

When I saw the new song promotion page, a song that made me "brighten my eyes" suddenly appeared.

Richard was surprised.

Because this singer's name is very abrupt compared to the names of a group of local singers.

——Lu Chen? "Well, it seems he is from abroad."

Richard naturally had no interest in listening to a song released by a foreigner.

After all, there has never been much good music abroad.

It has also failed to make it onto the mainstream European and American music scene.

So he subconsciously jumped over and cut to a song.

“shit!”

Richard jumped over it after just a prelude.

"Ugly, ordinary!"

So I cut another song.

It still doesn’t work.

Cut it again, listen again, it still doesn't work.

I cut several songs in a row.

He gave up.

Well, it seems that there are no good songs recommended by the website today.

While Richard was waiting for the red light, he decided to just pick a song by his favorite singer and play it.

As a result, I accidentally cut my finger again.

The playlist started looping again.

Cut to the song "Shape of You"! Richard was about to press pause.

Expressing no interest.

A burst of extremely dynamic music.

Suddenly, the sound filled the entire car.

Richard was stunned, and his expression was incredible for a moment.

"OMG! What song is this?!"

This catchy melody immediately attracted Richard's strong attention!

My body couldn't help but dance to the music.

"Yeah! Nice! OMG!"

Richard was incredible.

The dynamic melody spread out of the carriage.

A white guy who was waiting for the traffic light nearby also noticed the dancing song, rolled down his car window, and shouted, "Hey, brother, what song are you listening to? It sounds good."

"Shape of you! A very surprising song!"

"Where can I listen to it?"

Richard flipped open his phone: "SP!"

"Thank you, I'll listen too!"

As soon as this champion single was released, everything happened just as Lu Chen expected.

The magical and brainwashing melody immediately conquered the hearts of foreigners.

On all major music charts.

The song "Shape of You" went viral! In less than two hours, it quietly topped all the music charts.

Especially the two major charts: New Songs Chart and Rising Songs Chart!

And on TIK side.

Even more exaggerated! Whether a song can be successful depends on two major factors: the work and the operation!

Of course, the former accounts for a higher proportion!

Under the push of big data.

The number of views of this MV began to soar.

…

Douyin headquarters.

Han Youshang has been following the number of views of this MV by linking to the backstage.

From the initial five hundred.

One thousand! Two thousand!

Five thousand!

The speed is getting faster and faster!

Ten thousand! Fifty thousand!

One hundred thousand!

Half a million! It took less than 20 minutes to go online.

The MV has exceeded 500,000 views.

This is certainly due to the push of big data.

But the data on likes, comments, and reposts cannot be faked.

It’s retention data! 500,000 views, and the number of likes easily exceeded 10,000! What does this data mean?

No one knows better than Han Youshang.

"Oh shit, it exploded! President Han!"

Zhao Feng was stunned!

"I told you this song would be a hit! Sure enough!"

It's reached this level of heat.

Even without pushing it deliberately!

Big data will also be automatically diverted.

Time flies and three hours have passed.

Looking at the background, the number of views has exceeded 30 million.

Han Youshang let out a sigh of relief.

"Lu Chen, Lu Chen! Only a true genius has a genius sense of music!"

Anyway.

At least this is the first shot!

As for what happens next, let the bullets fly for a while! …

"Wow, this song is really good."

As soon as I opened TIK, I saw this song.

Taylor Foster only listened to it once and was deeply attracted by the song.

“How could he write a song like this?”

"I feel like this song might be a big hit! Because it's already trending."

After listening, the broker makes a judgment based on his experience.

Except for the singer, this song is almost tailor-made for the European and American music scene.

"This guy seems to be more powerful than we thought! Taylor."

"So you want to persuade me to participate in that variety show? Please, you want me to go to that place and act with others? I am Taylor!"

"That's certainly not what I meant. But we can't deny that he seems to be a little more powerful than we thought. What do you think?"

"I don't deny that."

After listening to it, Taylor Swift couldn't help but listen to it again, especially when watching Lu Chen in the MV.

Suddenly I realized that this singer from Dragon Country seems to be quite handsome.

She pondered for a moment.

"Why, are you suddenly interested?"

"You could say a little bit. But not enough. If... I mean if, this song can make it into the top ten of the charts tonight, then maybe I would agree."

"Top ten?" The agent smiled and said, "Your requirements are really high then."

"High? If I don't have any ability, why should I go? I said, I'm Taylor."

The agent gave an OK gesture and said, "I'll go collect some information and get back to you."

"Wait a minute, did they also send an invitation to Reina?"

"right!"

"Okay, I'll call Reina. I want to know what she thinks."

"OK, I wonder if she will change her mind because of this song too."

As he spoke, the agent pushed open the office door.

As a result, the singing voice coming towards her startled her.

At this moment, the melody of the song "Shape of You" resounded throughout the company.

Through the transparent glass, my colleagues were all very excited.

显然沉陷于这首歌动感旋律之中。

“难道这首歌真能冲上前十？”

看到这一幕，经纪人此刻也不禁心中暗想。

不自觉，肥硕的身躯，也跟着旋律舞动起来！

音乐，从不骗人！ ……

当米国时间，来到晚上十点。

《shape of you》几乎复制了前世一夜爆火的神迹！

短短不到十四个小时！ 冲上各大音乐软件热搜前十！

排名第三！

这是海外歌迷狂嗨的一天！ 却是各大音乐巨头公司焦头烂额的一天！ “fuck！fuck！！！”

一帮高管频频咒骂。

虽然他们可以压热搜。

但鲜有对音乐软件平台动手。

毕竟双方是合作关系。

甚至一度程度上，音乐平台占主导地位。

想让他们把歌下架，自断财路。

资本家可不会这么干。

再说了，这是一首英文歌。

不是中文歌。

凭什么下架？ 平台也有自己充足的理由！ 所以，热度随你们押。

歌下架，不可能！ 相反，还要积极推介！ 毕竟好歌易得，但爆款难求！

资本家的眼里，只有三句话：利益！利益！还是他妈的利益！

谁能创造利益！ 在不违反原则的前提下。

他们自然就捧谁！ 这是颠簸不破的真理！ ……

而这边。

龙国已经是早上十点。

路晨刚到公司。

就接到了韩优尚的电话。

“路晨老师！！！！！”

听着对面一声咆哮的尖叫。

那一刹那，路晨还以为自己看错来电显示了。

毕竟韩优尚在他眼里向来淡定的一批，有种泰山崩于前而不乱的气质。

哪会大喊大叫。

结果一看，还真是韩优尚。

“韩总，你这是怎么了？”

兴许也是觉察到自己失态，韩优尚很快调整回来：“路晨老师，火了！真的火了！”

随后，韩优尚就把这首歌的战绩汇报：

油管单日播放量：4513万，当日位列第三。

SP音乐平台：新歌第一，飙升榜第一，实时付费第一。

TIKmusic：新歌第一，飙升榜第一，实时付费第一。

还有其他一些平台。

对于这份成绩。

路晨倒是不意外。

相反，不谦虚的说，没这成绩，他才意外。

毕竟是12周的公告牌冠军单曲。

含金量毋庸置疑！ 当然为了配合韩优尚。

路晨也决定演一下：“啊，这么火啊！”

“是啊，你也想不到会这么火吧，路晨老师！”

“嗯，还真想不到。我就说，拿口水歌的套路去打，指定有戏，果不其然。”

“你真是神人啊，路晨老师，我这话一点不夸张。”韩优尚心情好到话筒都要溢出他的情绪。

“不过接下来，我还得再告诉你一个好消息，一个坏消息……”

“直接说坏消息吧。”路晨懒得玩套路。

对面，韩优尚哈哈一笑：“还是先说好消息吧，不然坏消息也讲不了。如你所想，果然还是得靠作品说话。一个小时前我收到邮件，霉霉和蕾娜已经答应了，她们表示对你很有兴趣。你也不用意外，这洋人就是放的比我们开，直言不讳，有点个性。”

“那坏消息呢？有什么条件？”

“果然什么都瞒不过路晨老师的眼睛，确实有条件。第一个条件：她们俩已经明确说了，不会来翻唱你的歌。”

路晨点头，也表示理解，人毕竟是国际顶流。

“第二个条件：我觉得她们俩应该是私底下商量好了，她们看过韩宏那期的综艺，很惊讶你居然能对这么多风格信手拈来，同时还能按照对方的风格来写歌。所以她们希望你也能按照她们的风格写一首或者两首歌。作为条件，她们愿意拿出自己的通告费，用作写歌的费用。当然分成也可以按照合同来谈，前提是这歌得得到她们认可。如果不行，她们拒绝登台，而且通告费不退。”

“这……”路晨咂咂嘴：“韩总，原来你压力比我大啊。”

韩优尚失笑：“没办法，我们看中她们的人气，也早就做好了她们狮子大开口的准备。对了，既然说到这，我也就不隐瞒了，霉霉的通告费是一千三百万美刀，蕾娜是一千万。”

路晨：“……”

“你确定这节目，你们能挣得回来吗，我实在好奇？”

“如果单说节目收益，那基本是亏的，但考虑长期效益，我们也测算过，亏不了，权当是赞助费。”

“行吧，你说不亏就行。还有吗？”

“没了。要再提条件，我就真换人了，又不是找不到其他明星。”

韩优尚声音蓦然一冷，虽然一闪而过，但还是被路晨听了出来。

“那你什么打算？”路晨打开办公室门，坐在椅子上。

“我这边没问题，你有信心，我就有。”

“行，那你就回复吧，感觉她俩是来挑战我的，不是被挑战。不过实话实说，人咖位也的确比我高，没啥不好承认的。”

路晨倒是看的淡。

“还别说，我也觉得有这意思。那行，我就安排下去了。不管怎么说，一切都在计划中，有了这两位的加盟，这档节目的人气，自然不必多说。到时候咱们按计划行事，路晨老师，你那新歌准备好了吗？”

重点来了！！！！ 韩优尚之前和路晨会面时，谈论《话筒》综艺细节的时候。

两人就决定在《话筒》综艺上，发布几首新歌。

借着全球直播。

也好让路晨再次出海。

要不然这俩重磅巨星，不白请了？

既然请，就要最大限度进行利用。

原本的设想是。

先把人叫过来，然后路晨准备几首高难度英文歌，让几位嘉宾翻唱，争取让她们唱不了。

最后，路晨趁着舞台，也发布几首歌。

至于中文歌还是英文歌，当时还未确定。

当然发新歌，这建议是路晨自己提的。

只是现在，情况稍有不同。

霉霉和蕾娜虽然不考虑翻唱，但出新歌让她们唱，得到她们认可，也不失为一种挑战！ 如果连她俩都征服，那对国外歌迷而言，同样也是一种征服。

效果异曲同工。

相差不大。

这样一来，反而对路晨发新歌，有更大的裨益。

所以，韩优尚现在就顺道问一下。

路晨几首歌准备的怎么样？ “放心吧，我这边不用担心。不过韩总，既然她们要我给她们几首英文歌，那倒省了工夫，你说我要是自己发几首中文歌你觉得怎么样，不能全唱英文歌吧，这毕竟是国内综艺，而且这首《shape》一出，我感觉把握更大了，应该也能火！我指的是海外。”

路晨故意说的谦虚。

电话那头，韩优尚先是一愣，随后猛道：“好啊，既然路晨老师有把握那当然好！说真的，我也是这么想的，一档综艺全部英文歌，也不合适。毕竟我们也要照护国内歌迷。我相信以路晨老师的实力，中文歌依然可以爆火！”

路晨：“行，那我有数了，你等我消息。”

“好，有您这句话我就放心了，那您先忙，路晨老师。我这边着手准备。”

“韩总再见。”

“路晨老师再见！”

挂断电话。

路晨坐在椅子上，一边晃动，一边沉默片刻。

之前他和冯南商量的时候。

就决定这一场穿插中文歌，全英文，不行！ 不能为了芝麻丢了西瓜。

所以眼下倒是个顺理成章的好机会。

等于可以用霉霉和蕾娜的人气，完成音乐输出。

这也许比自己多唱两首，效果还更好。

而自己这部分，索性用来唱中文歌。

“行，就这么办，果然巨星还是摆谱啊，事这么多……好在也不坏。”

不过路晨转念一想。

人家拿通告费来买歌，倒也确实豪横。

一千多万美刀一首歌。

那路晨倒的确可以考虑考虑。

毕竟这钱不拿白不拿。

He originally thought that one song "Shape" would not be able to impress Taylor Swift and Rena.

There is also a plan to release another global hit single.

Unexpectedly, "Shape" is still quite fierce.

It seems that foreigners really like melody.

"Okay! There are so many songs I can write for them. No problem. The key is these new songs of mine..."

Lu Chen opened the drawer.

Take out a detailed list.

This was a backup list he had previously considered for the fourth concert.

I will sing three songs on "Microphone".

In other words, we need to select three songs from these songs: - "Sunny Day"! - "Seven Miles of Fragrant Osmanthus"! - "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"! - "The Greatest Work"! - "Elimination"! - "Ten Years"! (End of this chapter)
