Chapter 0320: Swept the world
This night's game is not too important.
Because it is the first day of competition, it has not yet reached the elimination stage.
Moreover, the Chinese team played against relatively weak opponents and won all of them. These were games that they should have won, so they did not generate much enthusiasm.
The song Li Yu sang was still the focus of heated discussions after the game.
The China E-Sports Event Organizing Committee, National E-Sports News, China News, Hua Xia Tuanzi... and many other national-level official media all praised the live version of "Numb".
That night, the song was released on all major music platforms.
Before midnight, it shot to No. 1 on the New Songs Chart and No. 5 on the Hot Songs Chart.
The hot song list needs to be accumulated, so it is currently fifth. Maybe if you refresh it, it will rise by one place, refresh it again, and rise again.
It's only a matter of time before you get to the first place.
Fans are not in a hurry. The only thing that is more anxious is how to leave comments, get more likes, seize the sofa, and always stay on the first floor. As long as someone reads the comments, they will definitely see themselves first.
Therefore, comments must be outstanding.
"This song is so passionate that I crushed one of my dicks with my backhand! Let me ask you, is it fierce?"
"Playing this song while playing games is equivalent to superimposing a critical hit BUFF!"
"This is an epoch-making song, it awakened me from confusion."
"Sir, a great talent!"
"..."
The comments range from brilliant to troubling.
But in the past life, all comments were in nostalgia.
When most people heard this song for the first time, it was because of a certain game.
Through the game, I like this song.
Through this song, I fell in love with the band Lincoln.
In the end, it was the memory of the lead singer of the band Lincoln.
The sentence "God wanted to listen to music, so he killed him", although it is a bad joke, it still touches the softness of the heart every time I see it, making me cry.
The popularity in China is already very high.
But I didn’t expect that the popularity abroad would be even higher.
Because foreigners have never thought that a Chinese person could sing such an explosive English song, and it would be particularly appealing to them.
The next day, the song and Li Yu made headlines abroad.
The e-sports section, entertainment section, and music section are all reporting.
Some of the more authoritative entertainment industry weekly magazines directly used Li Yu's photos on their covers.
On Youdou, the live version of "Numb" topped the list of most searched searches.
During the competition, foreign commentators repeatedly mentioned Li Yu and this song, and even sang it.
After the game, many foreign celebrities competed to sing this song in the short video.
Once you watch one video, you will watch several in a row.
There are even short popular science videos, this one was made by domestic fans.
Make a video of Li Yu’s achievements in China and his introduction to let more foreign netizens know about him.
After seeing this, many foreigners were amazed:
"Oh my God! He is so talented and has achieved so much. I hate that I just met him now."
"I went to listen to Li Yu's Chinese songs. Although I didn't understand the lyrics, I thought there were a few songs with melodies that I liked very much. For example... I'm sorry, I don't know how to type in Chinese, but his songs must be worth your time.
listen."
"This song was all over the music charts overnight. I listened to it and it sounded really good."
"..."
Compliments from foreigners are always direct.
He doesn't even skimp on words.
Of course, the main reason is that English cannot be euphemistic and beautiful, it can only express its meaning directly.
Not being stingy is also related to the lack of vocabulary. I only use those interjections and compliments over and over again.
Unlike Chinese, which is numerous and complicated.
But, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that with so many complicated words, there is still one word that can encompass all praises, which is not available in English.
This word is: awesome!
After Li Yuhe's song "Numb" became popular all over the world overnight, he was noticed by Charlie, one of the members of the Grammy Nomination Committee.
The Grammy is the largest foreign music award, tied with the Academy Awards.
Anyone in China who wins these two awards, even if they are just nominated, will be a sensation in the country.
When promoting, they always make big claims to enhance their reputation.
Many filmmakers regard winning the Academy Award as the highest honor, but it is difficult to obtain it, so being nominated has become a gimmick worthy of publicity.
In contrast, the Grammy is the highest dream of a musician. The place where he most wants to perform is Vienna.
As one of the members of the nomination committee, Charlie is eligible to nominate some songs to participate in the Grammy Award selection.
When he heard the song "Numb", he was completely fascinated.
I couldn't help but listen to it over and over again, and I didn't stop until I realized it was getting dark.
"I'm going to China, and I want to nominate this song to a Grammy! It's worth it!"
However, Charlie has no business dealings with anyone or any company in China, and he is not familiar with China, so he will need a month or two to prepare.
The camera shifts to China.
A video editing office.
Zhang Xuyao is editing the film day and night, almost isolated from the outside world.
Making movies is already very easy for a famous director like him.
After meeting Li Yu, it became easier.
Zhang Xuyao never thought that there would be an actor who would go through every scene every time he was filming.
Whether it is emotions or actions, if the heat is just right, if one more is too much and one less is not enough, it will be good.
This kind of acting talent is really terrifying.
What is even more admirable is that not only is his acting talent outstanding, but his musical attainments are also unmatched.
When he was struggling with how to edit the film, Zhang Xuyao suddenly received a message from Cheng Dong.
"Mr. Li is popular abroad!"
Mr. Li?
Who is it?
Zhang Xuyao didn't pay much attention to what happened in China recently.
Soon he discovered that the name for Li Yu had changed.
More importantly, Li Yuzhen became popular abroad and was reported by major entertainment weekly magazines.
Zhang Xuyao almost rolled on the ground with excitement.
Is there such a good thing?
Li Yu is famous abroad. When the movie "Hero" is released, won't it also have a certain appeal abroad? As long as he can promote it, why worry about the overseas box office not being a hit?
Zhang Xuyao originally thought that "Hero" would be a sharp edge for Li Yu to open up overseas markets.
But I didn't expect that it wouldn't be used at all.
One song is enough.
On the contrary, Zhang Xuyao is still taking advantage of it. In the future, when movies are released, the box office will definitely increase because of Li Yu's star effect.
This made him want to cut out the film immediately and submit it for review, and then release it immediately abroad.
With Li Yu's popularity, many foreigners will definitely watch the movies he stars in.
Chapter completed!
