Chapter 46 Fist: How much does this song cost? I bought it!
Los Angeles, in a small villa north of Hollywood.
Alex SEAVER is tinkering with his instruments in this small villa as usual. He is Riot Games' newest royal composer and songwriter. He spends most of his time composing music in this studio away from the complexity.
But today, he received a call from Riot CEO Nicolo Lauren.
"Sev, I have a pure music demo here. The file has been sent to your email. Come and listen to it for me."
After receiving this call, Sifu was suddenly confused.
The global finals are now in full swing. The CEO should focus most of his energy on the competition at this time. Why did he suddenly get a demo from nowhere and you want him to listen to it?
Could it be that what I wrote was not good enough and the boss found another composer?
It's not impossible.
In this case, let's listen and see, I want to see who is going to ruin the place!
Twelve minutes later, after listening to the demo three times, Silver dialed the CEO's phone number.
"Boss, to be honest, this guy writes really good music." Sifu said this with very complicated emotions.
He couldn't unconscionably say that this piece of music was bad. After all, there were a lot of musicians in Riot Games. If anyone came out to appreciate it, the boss would know whether the quality of the piece was high or low.
"Yeah, you think it's good too?"
"It's really good, but" Silver still wanted to struggle, "but I'm writing a song that can be recorded in the history of Riot Games. I've already thought of the name of the song, and it's called LegendsNeverDie. Give me another three months, no. , one month! Give me another month and I promise”
"Hahahahaha——" Lauren on the other end of the phone seemed to understand the meaning of Sifu's words and couldn't help laughing.
"Sev, I gave you this piece of music not to tell you that I have found a competitor for you, but simply to let you hear whether its quality is up to standard. You really made me laugh to death, hahahaha .”
Sifu wanted to cry but had no tears.
The boss is just a flat A, but he deceived his ultimate move. How can this be justified?
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Lauren on the other side of the phone coughed twice and explained: "This is the demo I just received from a World Championship player today. To be honest, it's an e-sports player." I’m very surprised that my hand can write music, and it even sounds very good at first glance, so I want you to evaluate it for me.”
"What? This was written by a player? Are you kidding me?" Sifu felt that his worldview was beginning to collapse.
Most of the players in the e-sports circle are teenagers addicted to the Internet, although some of them have various talents, such as singing and dancing.
But being able to sing and being able to compose are definitely two completely different fields, and the quality of this piece is very high.
"Of course it's not a joke. Have you watched the Global Finals recently? This song was sent by Flashlight, the top laner of ROXTigers. The email said it was his own composition."
"Flashlight? Oh my god! I can't believe it." Sif was stunned for a while, and then he remembered something and said:
"Boss, believe me, if we can perform this song at the opening ceremony of the finals or at the concert the day before the finals, and let Flashlight cooperate with the promotion, it will definitely become popular all over the world!"
Lauren said: "Are you so confident about this piece of music?"
"Yes!"
"First of all, the quality of this song is very high. Although I don't know whether Flashlight wants to express what I want to express, it is a beautiful song that is full of power and has a touch of sad emotion."
"Strength, sadness," Lauren suddenly said, "This seems to be very consistent with the experience of the Tigers team. Their process of chasing their dreams is extremely inspiring, but they also experienced countless sadness and loss in the process."
"Yes. Back to the topic, think about how much of a sensation it would cause if this song could be played on our hands and let the world know that it was written by Flashlight, an e-sports player?"
Lauren on the other end of the phone nodded. If the same piece of music is composed by an insider, his competitors, music critics and listeners will definitely have first impressions. It's easy to declare a "failure" after just one song.
But if it is written by an outsider, then people will lower their level of scrutiny and lower their requirements for the quality of the music. As long as this piece of music is outstanding, it will easily be popular among people.
"OK, I know what you mean." Lauren thought for a moment and said decisively: "Immediately pack my bags and go to San Francisco, communicate more with Flashlight, and listen to his thoughts on the arrangement of this song. I hope to be able to put this song together." This song has become a hit in League of Legends!”
"Are you so confident that he will give us the music?"
"Haha, if he didn't have such an idea, he wouldn't have sent the demo to my personal email."
"How did he know my personal email address?"

October 7th at 17:00.
The match between EDG and H2K has just ended. The 3-1 EDG was crushed by Europe's second seed H2K for 16.4k, and lost its second game in the second round of the group stage.
At the same time, Lin Qiguang also met Alex Silver, the composer of the epic song in his heart - "Legends Never Die" in the future, in the hotel cafe.
"This meeting is very hasty. I just arrived in San Francisco." Sifu took a sip of coffee and went straight to the point: "Before coming, my boss Lauren asked me to tell you how much this song cost. I bought it. ! ”
Lin Qiguang put down the coffee cup in his hand with a smile, shook his head and said: "Money is not a problem, I don't like money, I am not interested in money."
Although saying this is indeed false, given his family conditions and the potential for development in the e-sports field in the future, he can indeed say such things to Seaver.
Lin Qiguang "copied" this piece of music in advance, not to make money, but to record the unforgettable memory of his time with the Tigers.
It's cool and romantic to write a story into a song, isn't it?
"I can hand over some copyrights to fists at this song, production, distribution, performance, and no lyric version of the adaptation right."
Sever nodded. This is a normal copyright transaction. "So in your plan, this song will be created in the future?"
Lin Qiguang took a sip of coffee: "If there is a lyricist who can write lyrics that satisfy me."
"Rose Boy" can be regarded as Cai Tianhou's painstaking work in the previous life. In this life, he "copied" it in advance, which is bound to have some chain effects.
If Queen Cai hears this song in the future and wants to buy the Chinese copyright, Lin Qiguang will be happy to return it to the original owner.
"I understand what you are thinking. The copyrights you mentioned happen to be what Riot Games wants. I told the boss that this song can be played at the carnival concert the day before the finals. What do you think?" br>
Lin Qiguang chuckled: "Why not at the opening ceremony of the finals?"
Seaver shrugged: "If ROXTigers can stand on the finals stage, I think the boss will agree."
Lin Qiguang picked up the cup and drank the coffee in the cup. "ROXTigers will not only advance to the finals, but also win this year's Summoner's Trophy with the exciting sound of the violin!" (End of Chapter)
