Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 224 An ominous aura is approaching Summoner's Rift.

"Is he an orc prophet?"

After Lord finished reporting everything, the top management of Hammer Technology came up with this idea.

Before Li Can, Smartisan was just an idea.

The future is uncertain, so I had been thinking about eating one bite at a time.

The result was unexpected.

Since Li Can came along, the work progress has been exceptionally smooth. The overall plan, which was originally planned to be fully launched in the second half of 2018, seems to be able to be accelerated now.

This time the money was well spent.

"Neither Universal nor Warner Bros. touches his copyright. It seems there is a reason for this."

In the music market, any company must hold the copyright of the works, which is the foundation of everything.

Especially Universal and Warner.

Among the artists who have signed contracts with companies of this level, no one can hold the full copyright in their own hands.

Li Can is a complete exception.

Just like many entertainment companies that have had partnerships with Li Can.

In this unique cooperative experience, Hammer Technology made the same choice as Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. - giving up the competition for copyright.

And in contrast to that.

It is to fully launch the operation of the huge game music universe project.

The stepping stone is this Pentakill rock band and the connection between Cassius and Ike's musical story and it.

Just do it.

Next, it becomes much easier to enter the virtual music market.

then.

Hammer Technology then recruited detailed planners.

Communicate with Li Can.

Ask for interesting stories and see if you can bring some new and interesting features to the game.

"Mr. Li, all the live performances you bring are top-notch, but I'm curious, has a legendary band like yours ever encountered any stage accidents?"

The staff took the lead in asking many of the stories that fans wanted to know most.

DP's live performance is so powerful.

It's like a precision machine, there is no room for error.

But if you don’t ask, you won’t know.

The more in-depth communication with the DP band, the more abstract it seemed to the staff.

At the same time, I am becoming more abstract.

"You mean performance accidents? There are too many. Winnie broke her string, Gangzi cursed in the street, and there was physical exhaustion."

Li Can laughed.

No wonder the staff member in front of me knows so little.

Even for many domestic fans, if they have not paid attention to the fleeting gossip in Xia Tai's interview and have not heard Li Can's complaints, it would be difficult for them to know that there were huge mistakes and completely unimaginable stage accidents during the performance in Poland.

"Ah? So many?"

The staff was a little dumbfounded.

In the eyes of ordinary audiences, the DP band seems to have nothing to do with stage accidents.

But I never expected it.

Not only do they have.

And there are many.

The poses are also particularly strange, abstract to an incomprehensible degree.

"So, this fucking scene during the Polish performance was an accident?"

After being explained in detail what "艹" means.

The staff was completely confused.

For most foreign fans, this word is more like a colloquial plosive sound.

I never thought that this would mean "Fa!"

When I learned that the keyboard solo at that time was "Fa! Fa! Fa!", the exploding feeling was like ice-cold cola pouring into my crotch.

It's refreshing, bouncy and very sticky.

".There are two couples in your band. To set their relationship and personalities, you need to refer to how you usually get along with each other."

"Oh, that's easy. Winnie and I usually like to fight."

"?"

"Oh, and drinking."

"?"

"And drinking and fighting. As for the rest, I can't tell you."

"?!!"

The staff felt that their perception of the DP band was shattered.

This is completely different from the high-end and legendary band I imagined!

How the hell is this designed?

I’m afraid the skins designed will be full of memes.

"If this design is completed, will players find it weird?"

"No, just tone it down a bit, and they will just think it's an exaggeration typical of artistic processing."

Li Can's words immediately made the staff's eyes twitch again.

It seems that the big brother in front of him understands how abstract his band is.

"In fact, our domestic fans have already accepted this setting. Is it mainly because foreign players may not be able to adapt to it?"

Winnie frowned and said with a smile.

"The video of our fight went viral on the Internet for a while."

"what?"

The staff watched as Winnie pulled out her phone.

A short video of [Daily competition between the drummer and guitarist of DP band] was released.

Opening lightning strike.

When you open the video, you can see Li Can giving Winnie a back throw, which looks quite violent.

Before I could feel sympathy and wonder if Li Can was a little too straight, I saw Winnie give Li Can a fierce Russian shoulder throw. He hit the cushion with a dull thud that was so painful to hear.

Relive the classics again.

Li Can and Winnie watched with great interest and even praised each other.

"My dear, your Russian shoulder throw is really powerful. From the third person perspective, it looks really cool!"

"Hehehe, you are really awesome. Sometimes you make me feel like I can't struggle anymore."

"Tsk, I want to fight again."

"Okay, okay."

I heard the two of them even started chatting.

The staff looked at Li Can and Winnie with shock in their eyes.

"hiss!"

"Oh my god, WWE?"

Xiaguo Kungfu? Fighting nation?
Are they so hardcore even in their daily lives?

Although these things may seem quite abstract in the game, as Li Can said, they only need to be restrained a little, and then they can become reasonable artistic exaggerations.

This time there are absolutely no restrictions.

Originally the staff thought that they were afraid that the production would be too outrageous and wanted to make it closer to reality, but they never expected that the restrictions of reality would be lifted and they just needed to give full play to it.

Perhaps, no matter how outrageous the setting is, it will not seem out of place on them, and may even make people feel that it is not strong enough.

The design ideas of the skin are opened.

The speed with which it was finalized was astounding.

Li Can and his colleague only stayed in Los Angeles for three days to complete work exchanges in this area before returning home.

Hammer Technology's content promotion design is also progressing very rapidly.

The warm-up Easter egg for the music universe didn’t take long.

Li Can has just returned to China for two days.

Hammer Technology Co., Ltd. has taken a new approach.

After determining the subsequent process.

A series of warm-up preparations were quietly launched. Only a few careful players could find that in a patch that was suspected to be a bug fix and a new event preview, some extra details were added.

In Summoner's Rift, dark purple notes sometimes float out from both sides of the river.

The latest event warm-up hint also appears in the client waiting interface.

A black question mark silhouette and a confusing event slogan.

The cutting appears to be a guitar.

[An ominous aura is approaching the canyon, summoners, be alert! ]

It's likely to be a new skin, or a new skin series.

The player didn't think much of it.

For most players, they just know that there will be a new event and then close the event page after reading it.

Play the game as usual.

Only Li Can and his group were studying the Easter eggs in Summoner's Rift with great interest.

Li Can and his team were the first to know about the launch of the project and its content information.

After Hammer Technology finalized its plan, the first people to be notified were its partners.

The members of the DP band also moved quickly.

It only took one day to record the solo melodies for each character.

The detail is that the melody of these solos is a complete paragraph, but it has been split up.

In theory, if the timing is right in the game, the solo melodies of these five people can be combined into one.

"Hey hey hey"

Chen Gang looked at the details on the map.

I couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

Everyone looked at Chen Gang and couldn't help but laugh.

The first batch of members of the Pentakill Rock Skin Project have come out.

It's just still in the design stage and has not yet been announced to fans.

Gangzi escaped the disaster.

There is no gender change.

Li Can corresponds to the drummer berserker Olaf, and his special line is "Speed up! Speed up! I want to blow up this show!"

Winnie transforms into Riven the Exiled Blade, with a special line: "Stomping on your head is as easy as stepping on the foldback speaker."

The character interaction lines are "You'd better keep up with the melody!" and "I won't be dominated by the rhythm!"

Zhao Ze is a master of bass metal, and his special lines are "Give me more bass. Turn up the volume of the bass. Louder! Louder!".

Lin Feng is the death singer, Han Jiayin is the angel of judgment Kyle,

The interactive lines are "Not only can I soar to the sky so that the angels can hear me, but I can also ignite her" and "Death and angels are more suitable for each other."

The design for keyboard players only is a real headache.

When it comes to keyboard players, the character that everyone thinks of is always Sona, but here comes the key question, should it be based mainly on real-life linkage or on the game background?
On the premise that other characters are very suitable for the DP band, the designer finally decided to build the first batch of skins in perfect accordance with the DP band.

Sona lost her skin.

The plan is still there, but it is planned to be carried out in the second batch.

The position of keyboard player fell to Bron.

It seems to be inspired by Chen Gang's famous scene.

After the staff went back and explained to all the designers what "艹艹艹" meant, almost no one could hold back when watching Chen Gang's solo.

Amid the cries of "Ward Fa", no one could watch this performance anymore.

Integrate with game content.

Chen Gang may have an average compatibility with Braum, but he is exactly the same as the Poro fed by Braum.

So, Pentakill rock keyboardist Braum welcomes the special voice.

"Let me give you a solo, I promise it will sound warm."

Then he started knocking on the door.

While knocking, he also imitated the sound of another hero, "Swift Swordsman".

The beating is very rhythmic. Friends who understand music can easily tell that the sampled rhythm and melody are the same as the loud bangs that Chen Gang played in the Polish night sky that day.

There are even more outrageous voice designs.

such as
"Mistakes? No, I can't make mistakes. You can trust Braum completely. Those were all done by the Poros, little rascals."

If it's just players.

You may not get a lot of details.

But I also find it quite interesting.

But if you are a fan of the DP band, you will definitely laugh like crazy after knowing the gossip and the design behind the skin.

"Hahahaha!"

Just like the designers at Hammer Technology.

Whenever they thought of the cultural details contained in this set of skins, Li Can and his friends couldn't help laughing.

"When Winnie turns it up, this big guitar will glow."

"It's not as good as the voice line of [I'm going to beat you to pieces] when Chan's skin is unlocked."

"Only Zhao Ze cares about the volume of the bass."

"From the keyboard giant sword in Devil Hunter to the Braum gate plate in League of Legends, why are all Gangzi's weapons so square?"

"Hahahaha! It's all Poro's fault."

"God damn, it sounds so warm. I must manipulate Li Can to chop down your Chen Gang's door with a drumstick."

"That's so funny, why don't you use your Metal Master? Is it because you can't defeat him?"

"Fuck you, I'm going to smash your keyboard with three hammers."

Everyone started laughing and joking.

The level of this skin design is really online.

hard to imagine.

When the designed Easter eggs were publicized, many fans and players were shocked.

Li Can even saw a familiar shadow in this skin design.

The more I look at this Braum, the more he looks like a bell-ringing cow.

"Smartisan designers are like this, they are basically a bit unserious."

Li Can didn't feel surprised at all.

If Draven has it, what else is impossible?

All of a sudden.

Everyone is really looking forward to the day when the skin goes online.

Therefore, we are full of motivation in daily rehearsals.

I vowed to make a good show at the opening ceremony of the finals to boost the sales of skins.

After all, this collaboration is an authorization of the overall image and cultural elements. Although it is not the first time for the DP band, it is also a huge breakthrough.

The stand-alone game "Devil Hunter" is completely different from the online game "League of Legends".

At the beginning, they made a lot of money just from the licensing of stand-alone games.

With this online game base, even though the share figure seems low, only 22%, it is definitely a miraculous share figure in the industry, and the final profit is unimaginable.

To know.

Every year, only 25% of the profits from the champion skins go to the teams, members, and regions.

The share that each player gets cannot reach the number 22.

This shows the power of IP.

According to the average price of skin sales of Hammer Technology, without considering the popularity and traffic of DP band.

As long as the skin design does not feel anti-human, it can also bring some fun and special effects.

It is absolutely possible to achieve a per capita profit of tens of millions in the first year, and the profit margin is huge.

"Okay, we have to make some preparations. Propaganda is a two-way street."

Li Can smiled and brought up the business.

The crowd that was laughing and joking suddenly became serious.

"Smartisan plans to gradually release the news in August and start publicity and operation. We need to keep up with it."

"We will take advantage of the Grammy Awards in September and January next year, and Hammer Technology will also choose the time."

Pinching his chin, Li Can spoke thoughtfully.

"Besides that, it's time for us to come up with some evil reality linkage plans."
