Chen Fei watched as the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed.
At this moment, it is already very close to ten million viewers.
This is very rare data.
Starting a few years ago, King of Glory has slowly begun to decline.
At its peak, the GTA tournament two years ago had 11 million viewers, but last year it was a paltry 10.38 million.
And this data only appears on the night of the championship.
This year, the number of viewers had already exceeded ten million by the opening ceremony, which shocked Chen Fei.
Report this good news to them immediately.
When Liang Shuang saw this data, she was also impressed.
Initially, Liang Shuang thought that cooperating with Mr. Mask was just a mutually beneficial thing.
Looking back now, this is clearly not the case. Mr. Mask's rendition of "King's Battle Song" brought in 400,000 more viewers to his live stream.
In other words, people who entered the live stream during this period never left.
This shows that the song is eye-catching enough to make netizens stop and watch.
"It seems that the title 'Mr. Mask' is a symbol of popularity; he's got a lot of connections!"
Suddenly, Liang Shuang had an idea and immediately discussed it with the program's head.
"Old Ma, how about we move the other two songs by Mr. Mask to the back?"
"Move another program forward, and simultaneously promote it to the public that Mr. Mask still has two songs left."
Ma Qi quickly understood Liang Shuang's intention after a moment's thought.
As the chief director of the opening ceremony of this competition, the greater the viewership, the higher the subsequent prize money will naturally be.
Liang Shuang's suggestion was definitely a good one. He wasn't a stubborn person, so why not adopt a good suggestion?
So March made arrangements quickly, but no matter how he arranged things, it would take time and he needed something else to back it up.
Upon hearing Ma Qi's command, Meng Xue came to the front of the stage: "The King's Song just now must have amazed everyone."
To be honest, this isn't the first time I've heard this song, but I'm always amazed by it during rehearsals.
There aren't many instrumental pieces that I can listen to from beginning to end, and this is definitely one of them.
I have some good news to share: this song has been chosen as the background music for the next season's main interface. I bet Xue'er won't want to open any other screens then...
Upon hearing the news about Mengxue, many people couldn't contain their joy:
[It's already been chosen as the background music for next season? Great! Looks like it's time for me to come back after uninstalling King of Glory for two years!]
To be honest, what attracted me to Honor of Kings in the past was its character design and music design, which were both classically elegant.
Later on, it gradually lost its ancient flavor, the character designs became more and more AI-like, and the songs even incorporated Western music, which greatly reduced my interest in it.
If this song is used as background music, then I wouldn't mind making a comeback.
That's right, this song has the feel of traditional Chinese music from previous seasons, and it's even better.
A phrase suddenly came to mind: "They take making music seriously, but the content and mechanics are absolutely terrible..."
This news is definitely good news for fans of ancient Chinese style games.
However, that wasn't all. Mengxue continued to throw out bait: "There's another piece of good news."
Mr. Mask has not just one song, nor two, but three!
However, we'll start later. Now, please look at the big screen..."
Mengxue dragged it out for over a minute, but that wasn't enough, so Maqi asked the production team to play the animation CG for the next season ahead of time.
It's not a problem to stall him for three to five minutes.
Then let the contestants go on stage again, and drag it out for another ten minutes.
Then arrange that program in advance.
The whole process boils down to one tactic: stalling...
Duanmu Qinghe seemed a little stunned backstage.
Is this even possible?
She had participated in the rehearsals, so she naturally knew the order of appearance.
It's obvious that the production team arranged things this way to pave the way for Mr. Mask.
She originally came to test Mr. Mask's background.
But just now, I unknowingly got caught up in "King's Song".
This instrumental piece is so damn exciting!
The melody and the exhilaration alone are more than enough for any other occasion!
And now it's just used as background music in a game? That's just too much!
Duanmu Qinghe can also write lyrics and compose music, and he understands the quality of this song, so it can definitely be used as a battle song.
But the clearer it became, the more mad he felt. The director actually wanted him to snipe Mr. Mask?
How can one possibly compete with such a grand and traditional Chinese musical style?
How many producers dare to say that their compositions can surpass this one by 100%?
And his singing skills!
Duanmu Qinghe had studied them and found that the level that Mr. Mask and Miss Rabbit were currently displaying was no weaker than hers; they even had opera singing, a metallic husky voice, and an ethereal quality...
What do I have to win with?
All Duanmu Qinghe could think of, the only things she possessed, were the fame and traffic brought by the title of "Little Queen," and the support from her company.
In terms of true strength, Duanmu Qinghe was surprisingly unsure.
Looking at the program's popularity score, "King's Battle Song" ranked second with a popularity score of 90.5.
That's only 0.3 points away! That's incredibly dangerous!
However, this was not the end. Mr. Mask still had two more chances to sing, which made Duanmu Qinghe feel powerless.
He already has this kind of influence even before he arrives; imagine how powerful he will be when he actually shows up!
Five minutes later, the second-to-last song finally arrived.
At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream reached 10.25 million!
Surpassing last year's achievement shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Song: "King's Ice Blade"
Type: Instrumental
Performed by: Kings Band
Composed and arranged by: Mr. Mask
(This song was also released in 2018 and, along with "King's Battle Song," is considered one of the most classic epic instrumental pieces for King of Glory. It's also a nostalgic piece for veteran players.)
Upon seeing the song news, netizens were already losing their composure:
Wow, it's instrumental music again. Could it be another stunning piece of traditional Chinese music like the one we just heard?
[If that's the case, I wouldn't mind having a few more songs. As long as they're good, that's enough. What more could you ask for!]
[It's been so long! Let me immerse myself in Mr. Mask's songs once again, and nobody can stop me...]
[...]
As Liang Shuang predicted, netizens were already excited as soon as information about Mr. Mask's song was released.
This hasn't even started yet!
When the next poem, "A Hundred Battles Become Poems," comes out, won't they go crazy?
As expected, the prelude began...
