The next day.
Sunday.
When Lin Yuan got up, he happened to meet Lin Yao coming back from outside, holding the hand of Nan Ji, who was always energetic.
Da Yaoyao complained: "Brother has been able to sleep well recently. Nan Ji has been taking me out for a walk these past two days!"
Lin Yuan: “…”
Or is it the aftermath of the Shadow Comics Seven Days outbreak
He has been taking longer naps than usual lately to make up for the lost sleep.
This meant that he had no time to walk the dog, so he had to ask other family members to help.
"Have breakfast."
Sister Lin Xuan greeted.
She cooks for her mother on Sundays when she has a day off.
My mother took advantage of the rare break to sit on the sofa and watch the news.
These elders always seem to like turning up the volume when watching TV.
The news anchor's passionate voice resounded in the living room: "Qinzhou Men's Basketball Team has recently implemented closed training. Four years ago, when we Qinzhou competed for the championship in the Blue Games, we lost to Zhongzhou because of a mistake made by a player named Zhou. This time we are playing at home..."
"Recently, the news has been all about the Blue Games."
My mother got up and sat at the dining table, muttering something casually.
With food in her mouth, my sister mumbled, "After all, this is the biggest event in the sports world, and it only happens once every four years. Our company wants to take advantage of this wave of popularity to promote more sports novels."
Lin Yuan did not join in the conversation.
He finished a bowl of porridge, ate a poached egg, and then rubbed the Antarctic dog's head skillfully, cleaning off the grease that might or might not have been there:
"I'm going to work."
"Um."
The family members continued to chat.
Antarctic began its daily fur-licking exercise.
It won't be long before it becomes shiny and glossy.
…
Lin Yuan took the car given by the chairman and went to Xingmang Entertainment.
The person driving now is not Gu Dong, but the driver assigned to him by the company.
Unless there are special circumstances, the driver will pick up Lin Yuan and drop him off at get off work every day.
The car speakers were also broadcasting a morning news segment:
"The Blue Games will be held on August 1st this year at the largest bird's nest in Qinzhou. The countdown has officially begun, and athletes from all continents are actively preparing for the Blue Games..."
Lin Yuan's mouth curled up.
The Blue Games are held every four years.
Isn’t this the Olympics on Earth
Although they are in different time and space, Blue Planet and Earth have many similarities, which always makes Lin Yuan feel familiar.
…
Fifteen minutes later.
Inside the company office.
Lin Yuan held the new toy given by Sun Yaohuo in his left hand, supported his chin with his right hand, and thought about which song to use to hit the charts next month.
The shadow issue took up a lot of time.
He had to record the song quickly.
Fortunately, he has quite a lot of backup works, which are all songs that Lin Yuan carefully selected from the system music library and felt have a good chance of making the charts.
Just at this moment.
Lin Yuan suddenly saw Wu Yong, deputy director of the composition department, running in in a hurry.
"What's up?"
Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at the other person.
Wu Yongqi panted and said, "I just received news that the official organizing committee of the Blue Games is soliciting promotional songs for this year's Blue Games from the industry!"
"Blue Games promotional song?"
Lin Yuan said: "The company wants me to write a song..."
"It's not that the company wants you to write it, but you have to write it, and you have to be selected by the higher-ups, otherwise your 12th consecutive championship in the season rankings may be over!"
Wu Yong's voice was anxious.
Lin Yuan wondered: "Why?"
“It’s an official promotion!”
Wu Yong smiled bitterly: "The Blues Games promotional song will definitely be promoted by the official. Coupled with the recent influence of the Blues Games, this song will definitely top the list next month. It's unreasonable to top the list. It's hard for any song to be as popular as the official Blues Games promotional song!"
"oh!"
Lin Yuan suddenly understood.
No wonder Wu Yong said that he had to write a promotional song that would be selected by the Blue Games Organizing Committee.
Official promotion.
This wasn't the first time he had encountered this.
The song "Change the World" that he had written for Chen Zhiyu might have been destined to come in second, but by some strange coincidence it got official promotion and beat Fei Yang to win the championship.
At the end of last year.
He faced off against Yang Zhongming, and because Blue Star promoted Yang Zhongming's song, the suspense was instantly ended, causing Lin Yuan to miss the chance to win three consecutive championships in the Battle of the Gods.
It can be said that the success and failure are both due to the official authorities.
I didn’t expect that I would encounter a similar situation again, and at the critical moment when I was striving for the 12th consecutive championship!
The difference is…
This time he got the news in advance.
fine.
Lin Yuan felt a little relieved.
According to Wu Yong, as long as his songs are officially promoted, he doesn't have to worry about next month's season charts.
Think of this.
Lin Yuan said: "I can submit a song."
He has no intention of competing with the officially promoted songs for popularity.
It would be fine if it was just an ordinary official promotion. Lin Yuan was confident that he could give it a try. At worst, he could just bring out some of his best works, but this time it was the Blue Games!
Blue Star's quadrennial sports event!
Given the enthusiasm of the Blue Star people for the Blue Games, this officially launched promotional song has too many natural advantages!
If you can't beat them, join them
In order to achieve his goal of winning the championship for the 12th time in a row, Lin Yuan chose to follow his heart.
“This must be tried.”
Wu Yong added: "In fact, there are no big requirements for this song. It should be mainly about promoting Qinzhou. It would be best if it can include the name of the host city, because the promotional song of this year's Blue Games is decided by Qinzhou. The Qinzhou government attaches great importance to this matter. After all, it takes decades for each continent to have the opportunity to host the Blue Games at home. By then, the continents that have not yet merged will also have the event broadcast..."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Wu Yong suddenly sighed:
"Originally, the impact of this incident was not that big, but who knew that the official announcement said that this song would be released on the first of next month? If it is released on the first, this song will have a huge impact on the season chart. It is almost a destined champion song. All song promoters will choose to give way. After all, this thing is unreasonable and cannot be stopped!"
Lin Yuan: “Yeah.”
Wu Yong looked troubled: "Just try your best this time. It's not your problem if you are not selected."
Lin Yuan understood what Wu Yong meant: "Are the official requirements very high?"
“This is not a question of whether or not the requirements are high…”
Wu Yong said helplessly, "It all depends on the taste of the Blue Star Games Organizing Committee. Every Blue Star Blue Star Games will hold a vote among the different submitted songs. However, there is a very scary fact: the official promotional songs for the previous three Blue Star Games were actually written by the same person, the composer Huang Dongzheng. Huang Dongzheng is best at this type of official custom songs."
"Huang Dongzheng?"
Lin Yuan asked: "Dad Qu?"
Wu Yong shook his head. "Huang Dongzheng, like you, has not yet reached the level of a song master, but he is probably gifted. He can always easily win various official customized songs. Even song masters cannot compete with him. After all, this type of song is very special. It is not about whose composition is more exquisite or whose song has a higher artistic conception, but purely about the popularity and popularity of the song. The songs that can be officially promoted are often the simplest melodies with the most colloquial lyrics."
Lin Yuan nodded.
This is indeed the case with many official promotional songs.
Their requirements for melody and lyrics are not how technical they are, but how appropriate the expression is.
Just like "Good Luck Comes".
It’s definitely not a very technical song, the main thing is that the atmosphere is there, and that’s the reason for its success.
Simple and festive.
It's easy to resonate with.
Let me give you another example.
If you ask top game developers to make games with extremely strong operability and a grand worldview, they can do it.
After all, the technology is there.
But if you ask these top game developers and those small game developers to compare whose small game is more popular
It’s really uncertain who will win or lose in the end!
Anyway, many of the developers of popular mini-games are often unknown.
This is the area where they are best at.
but.
Who dares to say that Lin (Xi) Yuan (Xi) is not good at this
Wu Yong didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking.
His mind is now full of "Not a Crime", and he seems to have foreseen that this year's promotional song will fall to Huang Dongzheng again.
It’s not that Lin Yuan is not strong enough.
It was all due to bad timing that Xiao Qudie, who was aiming for his 12th consecutive championship, had to catch up with the quadrennial Blue Games, and Huang Dongzheng was so good at this type of song that he almost became the official spokesperson for the promotional song.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself..."
Wu Yong reluctantly comforted Lin Yuan a few more times before leaving the office with a troubled look on his face.
Lin Yuan took the opportunity to search for specific information about the Blue Games. The Internet was full of related news, and the Blue Games was definitely the most exciting thing at the moment.
at last.
Lin Yuan's eyes fell on the last few words of the official introduction to this year's Blue Games:
'The venue is Qinzhou Beijing.'
Lin Yuan suddenly knew what song he should come up with.
