Chapter 420 An Amazing Song

Although Liao Yuan understood the commercial value of the song "Come Slowly", few of the guests present knew it, but there were still some people who knew it.

For example, the famous shipbuilding tycoon Spike, and some insiders around who understand Hollywood's star-making model, are looking at Liao Yuan at this moment, all of which are slowly shining.

"When Dreams Are Possible" is already a popular commercial song all over the world, and its MV has hundreds of millions of hits on Youtube. Although it cannot be compared with the top ten brainwashing songs on Youtube, it is definitely one that cannot be ignored. First song.

More importantly, with the opening of the Huaxing Advertising Department, this song will continue to appear on TV screens all over the world, so this song is a well-deserved world-class famous song, and it really proves Liao Yuan's popularity in pop music. commercial value.

And now this song "Take Your Time" is even more impressive. In terms of style, these two songs are completely different from "When Dreams Become Possible". What does this mean?
It shows that Liao Yuan has the ability to create multiple genres.

After the 10-minute performance, the audience applauded like thunder.

Kennedy personally praised Liao Yuan's performance, and took the trouble to praise Liao Yuan's abilities in all aspects, calling Liao Yuan "the light of the Chinese", chattering, spitting, and personally pulling Liao Yuan's hands to express his condolences. The intimacy made Liao Yuan's hairs stand on end.

Fortunately, the people in the president's cabinet stopped the fanatic's pursuit in time, which allowed the business exchange to get on the right track again.

On the other hand, after the performance, Liao Yuan was also surrounded by VIPs rushing in from all directions, with all kinds of smiling faces and greetings. Liao Yuan raised the champagne in his hand, smiled and clinked glasses with these people one by one. Talking human words, talking nonsense to hell, all kinds of precautions were made impeccably, and finally rejected all invitations, which can be regarded as reluctantly fooling the past.

The business group exchange lasted for two days. The next day, the exchange officially ended. As in the past, the transaction volume of business orders between the two countries is still not painful, and it is pitifully small. As the two most powerful superpowers in the world, The United States and China have been in constant competition since entering the 21st century. Today, both sides are suppressing each other's strength in various aspects. Today you tax me, and tomorrow I will cut off your military orders Hu, this is already an obvious fact. The two sides have dozens of business exchanges every year. You come and go, and each time you basically can't take advantage of each other.

Judging from the current general environment and the growth rate of various data, it will be a matter of time before China surpasses the United States to become the world's largest country.

Liao Yuan was not interested in these things, and this time he came to the White House to perform purely as ordered, but fortunately, nothing went wrong, which made Liao Yuan gradually relax from his nervousness.

However, Liao Yuan didn't know how huge the impact of his trip being invited to perform at the White House would be.

Generally speaking, the White House is open to the outside world, and there are tens of thousands of tourists every day. With the permission of the White House, many musicians come here to perform, but they are ordinary performers, and being able to participate in the state banquet is a great opportunity for the heads of state of the two superpowers. performing in front of—

This is no longer comparable to ordinary honors.

When the four pieces of music played by Liao Yuan were broadcast on the major news channels around the world afterwards, news commentators from various countries praised them greatly and made headlines on various pages. It can be said that not long after the banquet, Liao Yuan’s The popularity suddenly reached its peak.

Even if Liao Yuan won the Elizabeth Piano Competition, it seems that the impact of this performance is not as great.

After all, the Elizabeth Piano Competition is a matter in the professional field, and Liao Yuan's award is only spread among the insiders, increasing the gold content of Liao Yuan's pianist, but to the outside world, Liao Yuan's popularity is not as good as some super big names in Europe and America singer.

But now, Liao Yuan is performing at the White House, and his performances have been seen on all continents of the United States, and even nearby Mexico and Canada.

This made Liao Yuan's worth skyrocket.

"How is it? Isn't this song good?"

The shipbuilding tycoon Spike smoked a cigar and said with a smile to the black woman in front of him: "Mavis, I think it's time for you to buy the copyright of this song. I have a hunch that if we miss this song, we will lose money." More than a billion dollars."

"A billion dollars? God, either you're crazy, or I haven't woken up yet, did I hear hallucinations?"

The black woman Mavis said with a look of disbelief.

One billion US dollars is enough to buy ten super famous stars.

This Spike, what an amateur!
Mavis was amused.

She is the president of Sombra Records. She was originally a director of Universal Music's Brazilian branch. Later, she was tapped into her own name by Spike with a high salary. She established Sombra Records four years ago, responsible for discovering singers, songwriters, etc. The production of film and television music for the film invested by Spike, after going through the initial difficulties, the company just achieved profitability last year.

"It's just a metaphor!" Spike puffed out smoke rings, pointing to the video of Liao Yuan playing "Despacito" on the tablet: "This is a genius, some of his pop music is very in line with European and American styles, you should know more about him , I checked some of his information, on YouTube, his works have been adapted by many fans and enthusiasts, and the hits range from millions to hundreds of millions."

Hearing this sentence, Mevis immediately looked up.

"What you have to do is to buy the copyright of all his music adaptations, and then arrange for our people to release the single. Remember, you have to send a lawyer's letter to those video UP owners with millions or tens of millions of hits, and accept You don’t need me to teach you how to do it, do you?”

Seeing Spike's arrogant and leisurely smoking, Mavis felt a sudden chill, you evil capitalist!

But she couldn't refuse, because she knew that this was a very normal thing in the industry.

The premise is that she can buy the copyright of Mr. Liao Yuanliao's popular piano pieces.

In fact, there are not a few people who think the same as Mevis and Spike. Since Liao Yuan performed at the White House, the video has been spread wildly all over the world, and Liao Yuan's popularity and net worth have increased significantly.

In the few days after returning to China alone, Xiao Huangyu has received invitation letters from various overseas countries. They all hope to talk and cooperate with Liao Yuan. Among them, the most active ones are Universal, Warner, Sony and other entertainment giants. .

Among them, the enthusiasm of the president of Warner Asia is the most impressive. They adopt a low-profile cooperative attitude and are willing to help Liao Yuan release pure music albums in Europe and America.

In other words, as long as Liao Yuan is willing, he can freely use Warner's sales channels in Europe and the United States, which makes Liao Yuan very excited, so in the next period of time, he conducted in-depth exchanges with Warner.

As for other recording companies of average size, such as Sombra Records, Liao Yuan has no desire to cooperate. Even though the other party's enthusiasm is surprisingly high, Liao Yuan is still indifferent.

Warner is willing to help Liao Yuan produce classical music and pop music albums, and is willing to provide distribution channels, but businessmen value profits, and there is no willingness to pay in the capital world, so there are also conditions attached.

For example, he bought the right to adapt the song "Despacito" played by Liao Yuan at the White House, but he didn't have a strong desire to cooperate with other songs. The precision of the goal made Liao Yuan a little scared.

Others don't know, but Liao Yuan knows that this song "Despacito" has won numerous international music awards and records because of its brainwashing melody.

For example, it became the Spanish MV with the highest hit rate within 24 hours in the history of Vevo;

Topped the iTunes download list in 16 countries including the United States, Colombia, and Argentina;
Continuing to hold the championship in Latin singles and MVs of iTunes;

Spotify had one million plays on the first day, and it has won the Columbia Gold Single certification in less than 10 days after its release;

Breaking the Youtube record, becoming the fastest song in the world to reach 30 billion hits, and also the only song whose video views exceeded 60 billion;
……

Countless honors drove Liao Yuan to perform this piece of music at the White House banquet, and instantly made Liao Yuan a target of criticism in the global pop music scene.

A classical music pianist with a background in pop music played this amazing piece at a banquet for business exchanges between two superpowers. The figure of the crazy performance was remembered by countless audiences and left a deep impression in their minds.

It also made countless people covet and covet.
