Chapter 194: Unexpectedly Popular
Zhong Dajun's operation on the domestic forum Lu Chong was very satisfied, but due to the limitation of his English level, Zhong Dajun was a little powerless on foreign forums and social networks, and just posted the English version of the competition prediction written by Lu Chong to him, and did not make any other explanations.
Lu Chong believes that the charm of money is the same in any country, and Zhong Dajun can make waves with his winning 100 million yuan jackpot, and it should be feasible to put it abroad.
And these European and American fans, because they are in a more developed area of football, understand better than domestic fans how difficult it is to win the semi-finals lottery. After all, football competition has only been introduced to China for a few years, but in Europe and the United States, especially Europe, it has been winning for decades.
Zhong Dajun's faint tone Lu Chong liked it very much, and translated a copy of the past in the same way, spread it to major forums, and then opened his own ICQ.
Because he has been too busy recently, his ICQ has not logged in for a long time, and as soon as he opened it, a large amount of information immediately poured in, and after Lu Chong took a look, he gave priority to opening the information of his first fan, the little girl named Ann.
At this glance, Lu Chong was a little surprised, Ann left him at least dozens of messages, and he hurriedly looked at the latest one.
"Oh my God, Lu Chong, can you get back to me, I'm going crazy! Although I know that you won't recover, I still want to say that you are really too - one - one - to read - the novel {y}{b}{d}{u} is incredible, may I ask you are a mysterious wizard from the East? Otherwise, how could you predict so many games correctly in a row. And you said you won the semi-finals lottery worth more than $10 million, oh my God! Is that true, you've made a fortune, congratulations!"
Ann used a lot of English abbreviations in this short message, and it was obvious that when she sent the message, she was so excited that she wanted to send this message to Lu Chong as soon as possible.
For his first fan from abroad, of course, Lu Chong would look at it differently, and immediately replied: "Dear Ann, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not a mystery or a wizard. If you can search for our Chinese TV programs or read newspapers, you can see what the real me is like. I was able to predict a match only because of my knowledge of football, the detailed analysis I made before the game, and a little bit of luck!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God! You've got back to me, you villain, you've been coming up and posting messages and disappeared immediately, I've sent a lot of messages, but I haven't received a single reply from you, I don't even think you're going to log in to this ICQ account anymore!" Ann was very excited to receive Lu Chong's reply, and even typed a few wrong letters in the reply.
Lu Chong hurriedly opened the previous historical messages of the two, and began to look like Zhong Dajun was helping him take care of the release of information during this time, but the ICQ account was not handed over to him to deal with, but with Zhong Dajun's level, even if Lu Chong handed over the ICQ account to him, he would not be able to help him make any reply.
From Ann's message, Lu Chong was surprised to find that the most mentioned by this little girl was his English version of "Flag Victory", the English name is "Wavin' Flag".
Although "Flag Wins" has achieved excellent results in China, the English version of this song has not caused much repercussions in China.
After all, the two songs use the same tune, although the arrangement has changed slightly, but there is obviously a understandable Chinese version, and few people will have the patience to figure out what the English version sings.
In fact, Lu Chong launched the English version, and his original positioning was not in China, he aimed at the European and American markets.
But the song was distributed by Shadow Cube, which promised to release the English version to the international market before recording. However, when the Chinese version of "Flag Victory" achieved good results, Shadow Cube put all its energy into domestic publicity, and did not have the heart to play any internationalization.
Lu Chong was angry, and directly transmitted the audio file of this song to Ann, and asked her to help her release it on music platforms in Europe and the United States for free audition.
He has been provocative before, claiming that he will make a better song than the theme song "Forca" of this European Cup, and it would be a bit embarrassing if he couldn't even come up with a piece of work in the end.
After that, Lu Chonghou fell into a hectic mess, and he didn't even have time to go online, so he didn't care about his follow-up reaction.
But judging from his previous historical comments on Ann, this little girl actually put his song on iTunes for people to download, which was surprisingly good, but it also caused some trouble for Ann......
"Ann, I'm sorry, I was so busy some time ago that I even asked my friends to help me with those game prediction updates, so I didn't hear from you. But didn't I ask you to help release this song for free, why is it on iTunes now, and it caused you some trouble, what the hell is going on?"
Receiving Lu Chong's inquiry, Ann immediately crackled and spat bitter water at him. As we all know, iTunes is a music software from Apple, and the key thing is that the music on this platform can only be auditioned, and there is a fee for downloading.
Ann liked "Wavin' Flag" so much after hearing it that it was an absolutely excellent song, so when uploading it on iTunes, she opted for a paid model where users had to pay $1 to download the song to their mobile devices.
Lu Chong didn't know how Ann successfully uploaded "Wavin' Flag" and started selling, but without any publicity, this song actually relied on word-of-mouth, and five days later, it successfully entered the top 20 of the iTunes download list, with a total of more than 50,000 downloads!
The United States is the most musically developed region in the world, with well-established copyright protection laws and enough spending power, and it is common to sell tens of millions of records.
As the most famous online music download platform, iTunes often has hundreds of thousands of downloads, but that will only appear on the new songs of some famous artists.
Like Lu Chong, who only released the first single, and the singer himself was able to sell 50,000 copies in five days without any publicity or any company to promote it, which is simply a miracle!
However, with the popularity of this song, it also brought a big problem, Ann, who uploaded this song, does not own the copyright of "Wavin' Flag", so not only can she not use the income brought by this song, but also received a stern warning from iTunes, if she can't show the legal copyright agency documents within the specified time, iTunes will not only revoke the right to put the song on sale, but also sue Ann in court!
