Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 167: DP band’s high-energy handsomeness is always accompanied by abstraction.

"Hahaha! I really am an investment genius!"

Lord, who had already returned to the other side of the ocean, could not contain his excitement after learning what had happened, and laughed wildly towards the sky.

Assistant Kosen did not think that his boss had lost his composure. Instead, he wanted to laugh along.

After going to Xiaguo to watch the Devil Power band's performance, Lord and Kosen contacted Wang Yongchang of Star Entertainment.

The subsequent negotiations went quite smoothly, and I didn't even meet the members of the DP band.

The conditions offered by Hammer Technology were very generous, and they signed six songs at one time.

Four high-quality old songs that have already topped the charts, and two will be customized for the future.

In addition to the right to use and disseminate the theme song.

Devil Power will also be required to perform two to four times at Hammer Technology's opening events over the next two years.

The repertoire of a single performance will not exceed the duration of two works.

For professional bands.

The intensity of this kind of performance is basically just a cameo.

It would be better to say that we go there for fun rather than to perform.

The total package price is US$9 million.

This price is almost equivalent to putting the value of those two custom-made songs at the level of chart-topping songs.

Such a level of importance.

This is rare in the industry.

Lord's decision-making can be described as decisive yet strongly impulsive.

Overcoming all objections, the budget was increased and the contract was signed smoothly.

Faced with such treatment.

Unless you are stupid, you won’t answer it.

At that time, Li Can, who was shooting a music video, even planned to meet Lorde, but Lorde turned around and ran away after signing. He hurried back to the company and began to report on his work and handle the next business, preparing to get the DP band going.
At the performance review meeting.

Some shareholders also questioned whether they had been too blindly trusting.

It's not even a week yet.

The booming business of Devil May Cry has silenced all the businessmen's doubts.

If Lord hadn't been impulsive at the beginning.

The signing fee would probably have to be more than tens of millions of US dollars.

"These young people are really unreasonable, but they really know how to have fun."

Lord was in a good mood and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

I just want to yell "who else" at the next company meeting.

All about Big Sick.

Lord couldn't understand.

Very shocked.

But it doesn’t matter whether you understand it or not.

Whether it can create influence in the circle of game players.

Can a unique gaming culture emerge?

This is the most important.

"If we manage these four songs well, we can support many events. As for the remaining two, we can use them for the S-League!"

Lord nodded thoughtfully.

Devil Power has nothing to worry about in terms of popularity.

The quality of the work and the atmosphere of the performance.

There is no need to think.

Lord suddenly discovered.

I have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Even the subsequent activities.

People in other departments can also relax a lot.

Signed DP, almost no disadvantages, they are fully automatic.

“Play Devil May Cry, try the original version first, and then wait for the DLC to come out.”

Lord chuckled.

Just started playing games in the office.

Time passes slowly.

The special effects for the MV of Devil Power's "Bury the light" are finally finished.

Countless patients are eagerly waiting for the DLC and song MV to be released.

No more game content though.

But completing the game with the game character itself and completing the game with a DLC character are completely different feelings.

Although several genre templates of the original protagonist are still applied.

The skills are basically the same.

However, the special effects and the feeling of hitting are completely different, which is completely equivalent to changing into a ultimate skin.

after all.

The feeling of using Tianmingren to defeat Black Monkey is different from using Tifadiga and Bald Qiang to defeat Black Monkey.

at last.

Wait until the countdown ends.

DLC is also officially launched!
Many players purchased the DLC at lightning speed after seeing it was released, and while downloading it, they watched the song MV.

Rice is naturally one of them.

Even excitedly waiting early.

During this period, Daozi came into contact with the production process of a regular game company.

Although it is conceivable that professional players may not be able to go all out due to game rules and other reasons.

But the polishing of details and bug handling were an eye-opener for Daozi.

The Mod was already complete enough, and there were not many places that needed to be adjusted. No one from TT Games came out to comment on the image issues. They simply discussed some designs that were more likely to cause bugs and looked for compromise solutions.

After finishing these things and having some free time.

My curiosity about the MV started to grow like crazy and I couldn't bear it anymore.

Finally waited until it went online.

Daozi, who was originally thought to be eager to click on the video, found himself calming down.

Open the video naturally.

At the opening.

The weird electronic sound effects match the opening of the game scene in the MV.

A blood-red light turned into darkness.

Outside the church late at night, figures flickered.

A pair of feet in high-heeled leather boots walked steadily on the street outside the church.

With a strange hissing sound.

Like a demon hunter that lurks in the middle of the night.

There seemed to be more people appearing on the street.

Suddenly, the scene changed.

Only half of Li Can's face was shown in the camera.

He raised his head slightly and opened his eyes. In the flickering red light, he saw the demon boss approaching from behind.

Wait until the Kick sound is heard rapidly.

suddenly.

There are four people running quickly in the camera.

The close-up focuses on the lower body, the face cannot be seen, and the occasional accumulation of water on the ground reflects the hideous image of the devil.

When the bass drum is in full swing!
The battle on the other side has already begun.

The sound of the drum symbolizes the identity of the character!
The originally somewhat abstract flying kick was actually filled with high-burning passion under such rendering.

The devil was wielding a terrifying hatchet, while Li Can was fighting the devil with a huge drumstick.

After a loud bang, the demon's hatchet was shaken out of his hand, and Li Can did a backflip on the ground, sliding backwards for a long distance.

The camera freezes on a pair of high-heeled leather boots that were just walking on the road.

The camera moves up and sees Winnie's cold face.

He reached out and held Li Can's hand, and helped Li Can stand up.

The sound of drums is intertwined with electronic hisses.

Late at night, two hunters faced the demon.

Just an opening.

This gave the rice goose bumps all over its body.

This is the perfect fusion of game scenes and characters!

You can't even tell whether it's a game or a real-life movie.

As the two of them rushed towards the devil.

The camera turns again!
The four people who were running at high speed have stopped.

When the lead singer's voice started singing, Chen Gang, Zhao Ze, Lin Feng and Han Jiayin also appeared in the camera.

The oncoming street was filled with demonic soldiers.

In the rainy night, the camera flashed and four people rushed into the enemy camp.

Real people, but using gaming skills.

Daozi's scalp tingled just because of this special effect. This process is not completely real shooting. In the close-up of the character, it is definitely real shooting, but more of it is achieved by CG.

It's almost just the beginning.

It makes people feel the smell of money burning.

Wait until the chorus officially starts.

The four of them looked up suddenly, and in the distance, dark clouds were sweeping in the sky, thunder was striking, and a violent storm was rolling up.

The intensity of the battle rose to another level.

Li Can and Winnie only showed up briefly at the beginning.

But most of the song was spent describing the other four people.

After clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers.

Four people walked through the alley.

Finally we arrived outside the church, which was shrouded in dark clouds.

At the door of the church, the ferocious demon boss had already turned into the second stage, and Li Can and Winnie seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Just now.

The song has also entered the "charging power" stage of the second half!
The demon boss uses his ultimate move.

The four of them quickly dodged and blocked the attack.

The righteous two against one became the righteous six against one.

Facing the second stage demon.

Winnie smiled evilly and did the classic "sweater tickle" move.

Finally, the chorus comes again.

Li Can, who was leading the team, launched a powerful attack.

Amid the strong winds and thunder and lightning, the dark clouds were once again twisted into a vortex!
A flash of lightning briefly illuminated the dark rainy night.

The camera slows down to give a close-up.

The badge on the six people’s chest is the band’s logo design, and below the logo is the wording “Devil Power”!

The song also happens to sing "The devil of death is our family emblem!".

Then there was a close-up shot of each of the six against one.

Wait until the battle is over.

Thunder and lightning struck again in the darkness, briefly illuminating the rainy night.

It shows six people standing.

Open the church door.

The white plastic food stall chairs come into view, and their immovable presence seems full of power.

The MV ends here!
The song is not long and does not contain a lot of content.

Some costumes, weapons, and skills may be very abstract, but they are very exciting in their abstractness.

It can’t be said to be awkward, but it’s a bit hard to get used to when someone who has always been abstract suddenly becomes handsome.

After a brief shock.

Fellow patients discovered.

Looking back, many parts were actually quite outrageous, even very distracting.

For example, Zhao Zebes’s big whirlwind clears small monsters.

But thanks to the excellent action design, while ensuring the characteristics of the action itself, it greatly highlights the sense of power.

When watching it, I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all.

This strange feeling made Daozi's eyes widen.

I can't believe they have so much money to burn.

The plot is simple and easy to understand, and it hardly steals the show.

The costumes are exquisite and the timing is great.

Not only does it not steal the limelight from the music, but the overall simplicity of the plot, combined with the camera design and timing, greatly highlights the power of the music.

Especially the iconic triple bass drum hits, coupled with the three consecutive hammers with a strong percussive feeling.

It even makes Daozi want to open the game quickly and have some fun!
However, after the video ended, the screen went black.

The MV production staff list flashed up.

The first thing that appeared was a row of words.

[Special thanks to MV character designer - Daozi]

Although, I also thanked the special effects company and the modeling and action design teachers of TT Games.

But the rice was obviously only paying attention to the front.

After being specially thanked, a feeling of sourness from the inside out unconsciously swept over my body.

It's like a middle school student seeing that he was in the top three on his report card, but he can't remember the names of the other two.

"hiss!!"

Like taking a sip of ice cola in summer.

At this time, the rice is full of a sense of accomplishment.

Click into the comments section of the MV.

Looking at the comments from netizens, Daozi was smiling brightly in his heart.

[Fuck! How much money did this special effect cost?! ]

【Teacher Daozi has been promoted to a full-time employee! 】

[I feel mixed emotions. I never expected that this kind of official spoof DLC really exists? ]

[Damn it, Devil Power is so handsome again]

[When you think DP band will be cool, they play abstract music. But when you think DP band will play abstract music, they will suddenly show you cool music.]

[I thought this MV was going to be abstract, but it was so cool from the beginning. I thought it would continue to be cool until the white plastic chairs at the food stalls appeared at the end]

[I am dying of laughter. I feel like this video is really a combination of excitement, coolness, and abstraction]

[It’s so fucking amazing, DP band cosplays themselves]

Netizens were discussing it excitedly.

Everyone seemed to realize it.

Next.

There is new material in the abstract world.

as predicted.

After impressing netizens with his handsomeness.

Next up are the big names from each station.

Almost at the same time.

Some people removed the audio from the song's MV and replaced it with various strange soundtracks, either festive or from children's theater.

The style of painting changed instantly.

The netizens in the big sick area exclaimed, "The abstract power is like a carp crossing the river, and the outrageous realm is so terrifying."

Although the MV is really cool, a big part of the credit goes to the BGM, and all the content is in service of the song.

Once the song is changed, the strange smell comes instantly.

but.

No matter what the video is.

It seems that all you need to do is get the timing right and change the BGM to "Bury the Light".

It feels like after a paragraph that builds up the emotions, a storm will suddenly come, full of power.

No need to even checkpoint.

Netizens may even think.

Just add "Bury the Light" to the picture of white plastic chairs in a food stall and it will remind people of that hot man.

Although Daozi doesn't understand music.

But obviously.

Even if you don't understand music, you can feel the importance of music itself.

After the MV was released.

Through the influence of the band Devil Power.

More and more fans have heard about the game "Devil May Cry" again.

Now, curiosity can no longer be suppressed.

[Originally I knew about it but didn’t want to play it. But if you mentioned the Devil Power character skin DLC, I would definitely play it.]

[I'm already playing it, it's too abstract. I'm usually very calm, but after playing Li Can's skin, when I do combos, I always think about kicking the ball into the boss' mouth]

[Is there any big guy who made a video about "Bass Big Tornado hard-controlling the boss and the audience for five minutes"? ]

[I have to say, this video is actually very cool, especially the white plastic chair at the end, which is simply the finishing touch]

Among fans of the band Devil Power.

There is a large group of people who have something wrong with their brains.

The game players in the serious ward all have their own bizarre ideas.

This is just great.

After making an MV, I completely gathered together all the abstract masters of various styles and started to work hard.

By blending with each other, a true abstract school is quietly being established.

The news that Devil Power band released its first MV also attracted people from the music circles at home and abroad to watch.

But, after clicking it.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"I don't understand! I really don't understand this!"
