In the first half of 1999, the relevant personnel of Szone and Longteng Taipei Branch visited many record companies in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, negotiated the purchase of game rights for songs, invited music producers to songs, and jointly promoted records, etc., which once caused a certain amount of heated discussions.

Now that the game is really on the market, the publicity is quite grand, and the content seems to be very interesting, with simultaneous global updates, global co-release, with the support of international giants such as Longteng, Fox TV, Vivendi Group, etc., those Chinese record companies and singers who have sold the copyright just sit at home and wait to count the money, and people are convinced that such a good thing is true!

At this moment, many small record companies and agents can't sit still, who doesn't want their singers to sell millions of dollars in a record? Who doesn't want the whole world singing their songs and reciting their names? Who doesn't want to be the pride of the Chinese music industry, shock the music world, and go to the world?

"Audition" is a very good carrier, and many singers who were once reserved and record companies who looked down on this model have come back to the door, hoping to cooperate with Longteng and SZone.

But Longteng is not so easy to talk about now, and the songs that will be selected after the game is released must be of high quality, have a big impact, and be suitable for game choreography, it is not as simple as it used to be, and the conditions have been improved several times, which makes those musicians regret it after the fact.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, but for some people, it is more important to have good luck when they meet someone who appreciates them.

Zhou Jielun and Xiao Yaxuan are undoubtedly the lucky ones, they were originally nervous to enter the general manager's office, thinking that they would be harassed. will be ridiculed and eliminated. However, they were pleasantly surprised to learn that Long Teng was willing to buy the rights to adapt their song game and sign a ten-year contract. The first priority for the adaptation of the song of the two in the game must be Longteng.

"May I ask, what do you think of the song 'The Most Familiar Stranger'? I mean, is there a rating score or something? Xiao Yaxuan asked a little shyly, this is obviously not confident.

The examiner laughed, and she said, "You young people still have ideas and dare to say and do." Do you know the guy who came in first? ”

"Well, Zhou Jie, I've heard of it."

He asked the same question, and that's how I answered him. And now I will answer you the same. That is, you met a person who appreciated you, this was the order of the boss himself, he said that you are very potential singers, even if you don't have Longteng, you will be popular, but Longteng can make you more popular. ”

Xiao Yaxuan had a bright smile on her face, she couldn't believe her ears!

This evaluation is already too high and too high, and it is definitely not comparable to comments such as "your song is an A+" or "the record can definitely sell well". Because everyone has heard of that legendary boss, almost all the words of the boss have been fulfilled, and the people and things that the boss is optimistic about can definitely achieve great success.

As an out-and-out newcomer in the ballad industry, Zhou Jielun is a low-level musician who writes songs for people to beg for life. Xiao Yaxuan is a newcomer with no social experience at all, and when she heard that Yang Yun was so optimistic about them, both of them were dizzy and agreed. The thug left stiffly, and then it was time to call the agent. I signed this agreement in a daze.

Longteng is very kind, although the agreement is signed for ten years. But the adaptation rights of each song will be renegotiated, and if the singer becomes popular in the future, the purchase fee will rise, so this contract is more like a framework for honest cooperation, which restricts the conscience of both parties, and does not contain any harsh oppression, and both parties are happy.

The game use rights of "Tornado" and "The Most Familiar Stranger" were transferred to SZone by Longteng Taipei Branch, and bought at a price of NT$3 million and NT$4 million respectively.

It's just that they may not know that the names of the two were personally hand-picked by Yang Yun, the big boss of Longteng Entertainment and Game Company, and filed in the Taipei branch, of course they cooperated happily, and there were more super big-name singers who worked unhappily, none of the four kings of Hong Kong were on it, and Michael Jackson of the United States also didn't have a song...... Of course, MJ can definitely go on if he wants to, but MJ doesn't pay attention to Long Teng's invitation at all......

……

The Dragon Game Battle Platform has been updated again, and has become version 1.31, this time adding a new game channel, "Band" and "Audition" are online, players can download it through the guò network, or buy a game box in the Dragon Game franchise store, or buy a pirated disc and install it on their PC.

But the business of pirated CDs is not good, because the price of genuine CDs is only 10 yuan a piece, and the price is too low to believe, who among the players is willing to buy a pirated disc for 5 yuan a piece?

Wait for players to run the game before they find out that the cheat, the genuine "Band" and "Audition" must be connected to the game, if not networked, only a very simple experience song for players to practice, "Band" is two songs, "Audition" is a demonstration track "We Love Dance", other functions can not be clicked.

"Damn! Can't play! Isn't this forcing me to go outside the school to get a membership card? ”

Sophomore Shi Hao was a little sullen, he had been playing pirated games before, but pirated games are impossible to fight online, after playing stand-alone games, I always felt that something was almost something, watching my classmates play online battles in Internet cafes, he finally decided to invest in the genuine camp, the first genuine version to support is "Band Band", but you can't play it in the dormitory!

"Shi Hao, I just didn't pay attention to your kid when I saw it, their salesman told everyone that these two games need to be fought on the Internet, and there are many songs in them that need to be paid to download, do you think it's the same as the pirated version of "StarCraft", you can operate the computer without connecting to the Internet?" Xiong Jianfei, who was in the same bedroom, gloated and said: "It's not interesting to the computer, it's still cool to people, right?" ”

Shi Hao rolled his eyes and stood up: "Why do you use the word?" You're so vulgar! I'm going to an internet café, are you going to go? ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to have a meal first, then I'll sleep, and I'll go to play "Legend" all night at night. Seriously, it's really boring for you to play this kind of singing and dancing game, it's better to mix with my brother and me, if you are willing to choose a Taoist, I am responsible for providing you with a full set of equipment for levels 1-30, I have collected all the Zuma suits of Taoist priests, and there is a superb silver snake, which can be sold for 200 yuan, I am not willing to sell it, leave it to you...... Hey boy, slip so fast! ”

Before Xiong Jianfei finished speaking, Shi Hao left, he muttered a few words, shook his head, and looked at the time at 12:30, if he didn't go to the dining hall again, there was really no food to eat, so he hurriedly rushed out with the bowl.

Shi Hao heard Xiong Jianfei talk about "Legend" many times, and there were many classmates in the class playing this game, at least one-third of the computers in the Internet cafes around the school were running this game every day, and one-third were playing competitive battles such as Interstellar Warcraft CS, and the last third was chatting about LongChat, secretly watching small movies, or playing other games.

He is the kind of person with a strange character, every day I hear Xiong Jianfei dancing in the bedroom and saying how many people he took to kill the sect leader, how many best he played, dozens of people to cut off, when he planned to fight the siege of Shabak, the other roommates listened to it with enthusiasm, but he didn't like it, he would rather ravage the computer AI in the interstellar and Warcraft, he had a computer in the bedroom, and he could only play such a simple stand-alone machine.

came to the Internet café and got a membership card, but unfortunately there was no place, Shi Hao could only sign the card, hand it over to the network manager to line up, and then walk around the Internet café.

An important reason why he doesn't like Internet cafes is that the smell of smoke here is too strong, the environment is not very good, and the air is turbid, so he frowned and walked to the passage by the back door, where the air circulation was slightly better.

He noticed that there were still a lot of people playing "Legends" in Internet cafes, and there were also some people playing "CS" online, and there were more people playing the new games "Audition" and "Audition" with beautiful graphics, and he found a place where there were few people to stand and watch them play the game.

Players wearing headphones shake their heads, outsiders don't know what they are listening to, the game interface is like rain dropping a large number of small squares, players only need to press the SDFJKL and spacebar these seven buttons, in the moment the small squares fall in the button area press the corresponding key, the system will judge whether this is a Cool, or a Great, or the most perfect Perfect.

People with a good sense of musicality will have a great advantage in music games, especially Perfect, which requires that in the place where the music is most in tune, press at the most accurate moment, 0.1 seconds earlier or 0.1 seconds later is Great, 0.2 seconds is Cool, and you can't miss a fraction.

This is a new form of game, Shi Hao, who doesn't like RPG games to fight monsters and upgrade games, immediately fell in love with "Audition", and "Audition", in essence, the two games are essentially the same, at the right time, quickly press a set of arrow keys, and press the space bar in the most stable dìng, the most suitable place, to get a Perfect, can make him excited for three points.

"Audition" brought him a great visual impact, first of all, there are seven or eight virtual villains standing in a room, the one controlled by the player is marked by arrows, and after making a set of perfect movements, the villains will dance, the dance posture is handsome, and the movements are super cool, that is a real hip-hop performance, and the CG animation demonstration is quite in place!

The same is true for other players in the online battle, when everyone performs the same action together, the big scene makes the onlookers smack their tongues and exclaim.

At the end of the song, this player won the first place, she happily took off the headphones, smiled and high-fived his girlfriend next to her, Shi Hao saw her side face, it turned out to be the English beauty he had a crush on! (To be continued......)
