Wang Xuan was stunned when he found out Li Tao's intention.
He naturally knew about "Warcraft". Wang Xuan also studied this otherworldly version of "World of Warcraft" in his free time. It's just a coincidence that when he traveled back in time, it happened to be during the offseason of "Warcraft", so he didn't play it.
Of course, even if it's not the offseason, Wang Xuan probably won't play the online version of "Warcraft" because online games often involve leveling up, completing quests, and downloading dungeons... How can Wang Xuan have so much time and energy? ?
It will be almost the same when "Warcraft" develops a stand-alone version of the otherworld "Dota". Wang Xuan is still interested in playing "Dota" by then. After all, it is the youth that has passed away.
Regarding the theme song that "Warcraft" wanted to collect, after Wang Xuan carefully studied the version of "Warcraft" that was being updated, a song came to mind. There is no other song that is more suitable for this version of the theme song. .
But Wang Xuan was a little hesitant, because that piece of music was one of his favorites and he didn't want to play it out.
"Brother Xuan, have you finished your research? Is there a suitable theme song?" Li Tao asked, then patted his head, "Look at me, how can you come up with this kind of theme song in a short time? A theme song that can be thought of in a short time , how could the official "Warcraft" offer a price of tens of millions of eagle coins? My head is really funny."
"What did you just say?" Wang Xuan's eyes lit up.
"I said I had a funny brain."
"The previous sentence."
"How can the official "Warcraft" offer a price of tens of millions of eagle coins for a theme song that can be thought of in a short time?"
"Yes, that's it. So the official "Warcraft" really launched a tens of millions of eagle coins collection for the theme song?"
"Can this be fake? "Warcraft" is now the number one online game in the world, and its official is naturally very wealthy. It is not uncommon to collect tens of millions of eagle coins for theme songs. Of course it is a buyout. And it is very difficult! Brother Xuan Don’t worry if you can’t compose it, because no one from China has ever been chosen. This theme song is almost monopolized by Europeans and Americans.”
Wang Xuan only listened to half of what Li Tao said. He only confirmed the authenticity of the information about the theme song for the tens of millions of eagle coins and then made a mental calculation.
Eagle coins are actually equivalent to U.S. dollars on Earth, they are just called differently. In this world, the conversion ratio between eagle coins and Chinese national coins is 1:8. Ten million eagle coins are equivalent to 80 million Chinese national coins. According to the contract between Wang Xuan and the company, if the song he composed is selected, he can get 70% of the 80 million. For 56 million, half a river-view house in the Magic City will be available.
Ok, Ok! This wave is going big!
Wang Xuan was reluctant to play that song, but the Ice and Snow Company behind "Warcraft" gave it too much.
wrong. It doesn't matter to Wang Xuan whether he has money or not. The main thing this time is to bring glory to the country. Didn’t Brother Tao just say that? Since the official collection of theme songs for "Warcraft", a Chinese person has never been selected. Then he will be the first person selected.
Wang Xuan wanted to see if the theme song would be monopolized by Europeans and Americans once he made it.
"Brother Xuan, it's okay. I won't disturb you now."
"Wait, Brother Tao, don't leave in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Brother Xuan, is there something wrong?"
"Yes. Please inform me that I will requisition Studio No. 1 starting tomorrow, and the duration is uncertain. If there are singers who want to record songs, they can use other recording studios. In addition, I also need a few musicians who can play bass, electric guitar, and piano. Teachers and flute masters, keep them ready at all times.”
"No problem. But brother Xuan, what are you going to use the recording studio for? Who are you recording songs for? It doesn't look like that. Do you need to use flute instruments to record songs?"
"It's not a song, just the theme song of "Warcraft"."
"Huh? Do you have a song?"
"I have an idea, but I can't say when it will be done. It may be at night, or it may take a day or two, so the musicians need to be ready at any time."
"Understood." Li Tao went to make arrangements with some surprise.
And Wang Xuan took out paper and pen and started picking up the score!
If it were other songs, maybe Wang Xuan could write the music directly, but not this one because Wang Xuan had not studied it before. Fortunately, he has a very complete melody in his mind, and he can still pick it out slowly.
Because this piece is called "The Dawn", it has a very poetic Chinese name "Prelude to the Dead".
In fact, "The Dawn" originally did not have a Chinese name. Later, a netizen used "The Dawn" as the background music and used the cutscenes of the undead in "Warcraft 3" to edit and produce a MV, and named it "The Undead". overture". So far, the Chinese name of the song has been spread by rumors along with the MV, but the real name is not widely known.
Of course, regardless of the game background of "Warcraft" and the preference of Undead fans, in terms of the artistic conception and tendency of the song itself, the name "Undead Overture" is literally very appropriate to the song, and is even better than the original name. It better reflects the characteristics of the song as metal music.
This song has been mistaken by countless netizens around the world as the theme song of "World of Warcraft", but in fact it is not. But even those in the know regard this song as the theme song of "World of Warcraft".
Because it’s so burning!
This song, combined with the scene of the undead army invading, is simply explosive.
Why Wang Xuan hasn't studied this song yet has a complete melody in his mind is because as long as he plays World of Warcraft, Dota, and League of Legends, this song must be one of the war songs.
No, it only took one day for Wang Xuan to pick out the score of "Overture of the Dead". Later, Wang Xuan sent Li Tao a WeChat message: "Brother Tao, inform the musicians to start recording music tomorrow."
Li Tao naturally had no objection and was very curious about what kind of song Wang Xuan composed. So, in the next few days, Li Tao also stayed in the recording studio with Wang Xuan and others.
The Dawn opens with clear and elegant keyboards and guitars, leading to a smooth and pleasant melody structure, followed by heavy metal accompaniment, which is an important symbol of metal music. This majestic accompaniment creates a noisy, violent but beautiful and reasonable It is outstanding, thus showing the unique charm of metal music itself.
The structure of this piece can be divided into three parts, the main melody unit phrase, heavy metal accompaniment and vocal monologue. The three parts are actually very fragmented, but they are perfectly "spliced" together, making the song reflect a compact structure and sharp contrast from the chaotic noise.
It is not difficult to record each part separately, but it is not a simple matter to record the three parts together. It requires many, many times of break-in.
So even with Wang Xuan, a master of musical instruments, guiding them, it took the musicians three days to play "Overture of the Dead" completely, and then another day to perform it completely and at the same time in terms of quality. Called perfect.
Anyway, Li Tao and the musicians at the scene were very shocked and speechless after listening to the completed "Overture of the Dead".
It’s really a shame that our generation is uneducated, so we can travel the world with just one word!
