Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 376 The Year of the Immortal Fight

(Having a splitting headache today and spending most of the day lying in bed, less updates, sorry.)
"Who is playing the pipa, a piece of east wind breaks; the years are peeling off the wall, and I saw my childhood; I still remember that year when we were still very young, but now the sound of the piano is faint, and you have never heard of my waiting..."

"Who is playing the pipa, the east wind breaks; the maple leaves dye the story, and I can see the ending; I will lead you through the ancient road outside the fence. In the years of wild smoke and grass, even parting is silent..."

Jay Chou's song "East Wind Breaks" opened the prelude to tonight's celebrity concert.

This song in the previous life is very meaningful to Jay Chou. It uses the classical musical instrument pipa and the sentiment of ancient poetry, and borrows the tune with ancient Chinese style and incorporates the western R&B style. The lyrics have Chinese cultural connotations. Arrangement skills enhance the atmosphere of the song, producing song styles such as implicit, sad, elegant, and light.

Since then, "three ancient and three new", that is, the characteristics of the Chinese style of ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing, new arrangement, and new concept have basically taken shape.

However, "Xiaoyaotan" is the jewel in the front, and the title of the creator of the "three ancient and three new" Chinese genres has been shamelessly usurped by Fang Jie. Even after Jay Chou finished singing, he also said that "Dongfeng Po" is a tribute to "Xiaoyaotan".

The styles, rhythms and even the lyrics of the two songs are indeed too similar. If Jay Chou didn't say this, netizens might call them plagiarism.

This is a bit embarrassing.

So Fang Jie hurriedly asked SHE to start performing.

SHE also sang a new song in the new album, which is the theme song of the album with the same name "super star". This song probably needs no introduction. The rock style + inspirational theme naturally won a lot of applause.

At this moment, many netizens have come to recall that after a long time, these celebrities came here to promote their new album and play songs. No wonder these celebrities are willing to participate in this relatively casual way of performance.

The year before last and last year, both Jay Chou and SHE's albums were released through 51mai, and they were inextricably linked with Boiling Group. Before the release of this year's third album, Fang Jie promoted them half a month in advance. It is a matter of course.

Inviting celebrities to perform in his live broadcast room, Fang Jie not only didn't spend a penny, but also made money.

It's not cash, but an increase of 2% based on the original online album sales commission, which is called channel promotion fee.

And for these singers who are about to release new albums, they are also very willing to sell them to Fang Jie.

Not to mention the Boiling Group and Boiling Entertainment under its control, Fang Jie’s game live broadcast room, which is just the Boiling Video, can bring in millions of fans every day, and almost all of them are young people who can accept new things. Playing songs is more than a hundred times more effective than any variety show or offline road show, and it saves trouble and effort, and there is almost no cost.

So the saved money was handed over to Fang Jie, and there was nothing wrong with fawning on him by the way.

Cai Yilin performed next.

Both Jay Chou and SHE showed their housekeeping skills, and Cai Yilin certainly couldn't stretch her hips. She sang another song "Prague Square" from the new album "Watch Me 72 Changes".

This song is also a good song, but under the suppression of the title song of the same name "Look at Me 72 Changes", it seems not so well-known. She obviously wants to put this song on the charts to see if it can be on the list. Under the competition of many competitors, it broke into the top ten sales volume of the Boiling Music Chart.

Cai Yilin's album is also released online through Boiling Entertainment and Boiling Business, which is naturally a bridge built by Jay Chou.

The online sales of albums and online music auditions in mainland China have been almost monopolized by 51mai and Boiling Entertainment. All singers and record companies who want to sell online albums must find Boiling Entertainment. Single is the must-hit and most authoritative list.

This is the growth and development of Boiling Entertainment and Boiling Business over the past year, and the influence brought about by this development is subtle.

You must know that in the past half a year, the relevant departments have severely cracked down on the music piracy market, and Fang Jie has carried 50 classic songs from his previous life, and he has continuously screened the entire music record market, directly propping up the facade of Boiling Music. .

Afterwards, on the surface, Fang Jie had been working as an otaku, as if he had nothing serious to do, but the various subsidiaries and industries below were constantly accumulating, developing and growing. Apart from him, the entire Boiling Group, from the top to the grassroots Employees, they are so busy every day.

For example, Fang Jie only mentioned one thing to Liao Shunbin about the music list on Boiling Music Network, and then the music list came out, and the people below even made a detailed plan. Apart from the sales list, there is no pop music list. , New song audition list, KTV on-demand list...etc.

Now that the family is big and the business is big, it is really impossible for Fang Jie to cover everything. He usually just proposes ideas, specific tasks and details. Many times, even he couldn't help lamenting that his skills are inferior to others. Sure enough, the most important thing in the 21st century is talent.

With the joint efforts of a large number of talents in the boiling group, the entire group company can be said to be thriving. In the past, various problems within the group were caused by Fang Jie's rapid development pace. The solution was improved and the foundation was further tamped.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Boiling Group is now a giant. In fact, let alone the Boiling Group, any one of the subsidiaries below can be called a giant in related industries.

For example, subsidiaries like Boiling Entertainment have subdivided into sub-departments such as Boiling Brokerage, Boiling Music, Boiling Video, Boiling Variety Show, etc. Not to mention subsidiaries, even these sub-sectors are awesome in the field. In the future, it is not ruled out to separate and set up a secondary subsidiary, or even go public!

This is Fang Jie's current lineup!

If this is not the case, it is impossible for people like Wang Hao and Chen Yixun to release their new albums and come to Fang Jie's live broadcast room to play songs.

To be precise, this is not a question of letting go of your figure at all, but the current and future, people who can be invited by Fang Jie to his live broadcast room to interact and do publicity, have instead become a status symbol, and there is not enough attention. , I am not qualified to accept the invitation at all, even if I have money!
This time the princess brought the title song of the new album "Jiang Ai" with the same title. The lyrics and music were written by the princess herself and arranged by Zhang Yadong.

There is no need to talk nonsense about Tianhou's singing voice. She has already achieved a status and reputation that other singers can hardly match. This time, she is not here for publicity, but purely for Zhang Yadong's face. Maybe this time, among all the singers, Fang is the only one who didn't This is the one who takes Jie's face seriously.

By the way, Zhang Yadong was successfully tricked by Fang Jie to join Boiling Entertainment. He is currently the music director of Boiling Music and is mainly responsible for the arrangement of singers under Boiling Entertainment.

By the way, the reason why countless singers have gathered to release albums recently is mainly because Fang Jie's 50 previous life songs have been relocated, which lasted until this month and finally ended!

One can imagine the concept of releasing one of the 50 classic songs in the previous life every week. In short, he has directly dominated the music scene this year, and everyone has to stay away. , or it was brushed away in an instant, without even a bubble.

This is also one of Fang Jie's cards. He has confirmed the two titles of "top songwriter in Chinese music scene" and "high-prolific songwriter in Chinese music scene", and has also established his detached position in the Chinese music scene.

Now the singers in the Chinese music world regard him as the father of the song, which is one of the reasons why Tianhou is willing to give face, otherwise Zhang Yadong's face alone is probably not enough.

For example, Eason is not well recognized in mainland China, but he has won numerous record gold awards in the Hong Kong area before, making him the most famous male singer in the Hong Kong area after the Four Heavenly Kings.

The reason why Fang Jie was invited to move this time was not to build a relationship with Father Qu, maybe he would turn out a good song with a casual shake of his hand, and then he would be able to quickly open up the mainland market.

In fact, Fang Jie didn't need to carry any songs for him to become popular. This time in the live broadcast room, he sang the classic song "Ten Years" from the upcoming new album "Black. White. Gray".

"Ten Years" tells the story of two people who fell in love and then separated. When they were young and ignorant of their love, they went to their own places in middle age. Although they are just friends now, they still miss each other in their hearts, but the situation of ten years is still Witness this relationship.

This song instantly aroused the resonance of countless netizens. Some people burst into tears after listening to it, and expressed their feelings on the barrage.

"I didn't know you a year ago, and the years have passed. In the end, we are not even friends anymore. I hope we are all well, and the future can be expected..."

"Life is such a gorgeous life, come ignorantly, leave with nothing, like a flower, the beauty is cruel. We don't know when we will meet the person who will be treasured in our hearts forever, and we don't know when we will How to lose her."

"Ten years, a thousand twists and turns; ten years, the vicissitudes of life. Hello, a friend of ten years..."

"Can we be friends?—This is the beginning of the story. Can we still be friends?—This is the end of the story."

"I shouldn't have spent the ten years of youth between junior high school and college graduation on secret love, maybe it would be better not to love..."

Seeing the last row of subtitles, Fang Jie became depressed. He glanced at Li Qing who was sitting beside him humming a song, and expressed his feelings to the live broadcast camera: "I think what the netizen just said is wrong. If you Love, although there is no result, you will regret it for the rest of your life, but if you don’t love, you will regret it for the rest of your life...Since you either regret it or regret it, what’s the difference?”

When Li Qing heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "How can there be no difference? If you fall in love, maybe you still have a chance to make your dreams come true~"

"Ah? That's that..."

Fang Jie nodded again and again to express his approval, and then put his head on it. At the moment when the two sides were about to meet, he suddenly turned his head and said to the camera: "It's a beautiful idea, and this kind of picture that is not suitable for children will not be given to you. Look!"

At this time, the rhythm of the netizens was immediately distorted, and they all scolded Fang Jie for being shameless.

Although the two didn't make any outrageous moves, they still disgusted the netizens.

During the live broadcast, he and Li Qing occasionally showed their affection and sprinkled dog food. Those single dogs saw this scene, but they were forced to suffer. Whenever this happened, the crowd would ridicule and scold Fang Jie for not considering the audience. Feeling, and asking him to help introduce a girlfriend.

Of course, there are also those who scold Li Qing, saying that she has no great skills, but she is lucky and can seduce people or something. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are such remarks in the live barrage that you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour It's normal, just block and ignore it.

Not to mention these bad things, in short, Eason's "Ten Years" finally made the netizens on the mainland understand what it means to not look like a person, and Eason's fame has finally spread in the mainland. "Ten Years" This song directly became an endlessly looping song for countless people with stories in the second half of 2003.

In fact, it is not only "Ten Years", Jay Chou's "Dongfeng Break", SHE's "Super Star", Cai Yilin's "Prague Square", Princess Wang's "Jiang Ai" and 50 classic songs released by Boiling Music in the name of Fang Jie The formed "aircraft carrier fleet" has all become popular songs both online and offline across the country.

In addition to these songs, in the second half of the year there will be Sha Baoliang's "Dark Fragrance", Zhang Huimei's "Brave", Sun Yanzi's "Encounter", Elva Hsiao's "Happiness Map", Wang Xinling's "When You", Cai Jianya's " Strangers", Faye Wong's "Spinning Wood"...etc, they all came to Fang Jie's live broadcast room to play songs as guests, and they all became popular.

Such brilliant results are achieved, on the one hand, because Fang Jie's live streaming ability is awesome enough, and on the other hand, it is also because these songs are indeed classics.

In fact, the year 2003 in the previous life was a year of turmoil in the music scene, with countless excellent songs emerging, known as the "year of fighting gods", even if there were no 50 songs carried by Fang Jie, the music scene would still blow out this year.

Even because of Fang Jie's random entry, some songs that should have appeared in the first half of the year were all released in the second half of the year. I don't know whether this is a hindrance to the development of the music scene or a promotion. Presumably, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages some?
Fortunately, Fang Jie played a big ticket this time, and he didn't engage in any "aircraft carrier fleet" after that, otherwise the Chinese music scene would really have a big problem.

His focus is still on the game, music is only one of the incidental industries, the live broadcast content is mainly about games, helping people play songs and bring goods, just occasionally adjust, and not everyone is qualified to show their faces .

On August 2003, 8, the day of the Army Day, Boiling and Tencent jointly released "Cross Fire", which has been in the works for almost 1 years, namely CF, which was officially launched.

Unlike in the past, on the day of the game's launch, players had mixed reviews for the game.

Because the implication of plagiarism in this game is too strong, even hard-core fans can't clean it up. The old "CS" players dismissed it and complained in various ways.

But the more you spray it, the more popular the game is, and the more people play it, just like the previous "DOTA" players sprayed "LOL". Basically nothing abroad.

What's more, today's "Qianglong" can be described as "Double Dragon Playing Pearl", Tencent understand?
Or, Boiling and its Fang Jie, also know about it?
"Two Teng" promoted "CF" together, causing the market share of "CS" to drop to the bottom in an instant.

Not to mention that "Two Teng" controls the boiling network management system of Internet cafes, removed part of the "CS" download server, and did not mention the omni-channel promotion of QQ, 51mai, and 360, not to mention that Baidu search is still pushing the shelf, secretly Lowered the search weight of "CS".

As for the innovative game modes such as "Zombie Siege", "Endless Hunting", and "Evolutionary Variation", they are highlights that hardcore fans of "CS" can't deny, so you don't need to mention them.

Just talking about the game itself, although "CF" is plagiarized and borrowed from "CS", but the game fluency is good, the requirements for computer hardware configuration are lower, and the computer with garbage configuration can also play this game smoothly.

In other words, Booming Software, the former subsidiary of Boiling Engine, studied and researched the "Thor" game engine and developed the "Boiling Engine" for nearly 3 years. International leading 3D engine!

This is the real awesomeness, and it is also the beginning of the dream of 3D games!
(Today, "Battlefield 2042" is tested and launched, which inherits the advantages of the Battlefield series of games, but the requirements for computer configuration are too high, and it cannot be handled without a graphics card worth tens of thousands of dollars. Still a big problem.)
