Chapter 794 The Inheritor of Ancient Style

"Resident Evil" is a much bigger game than it was when "Final Fantasy" was released.

After all, it is the second stand-alone game released by Blizzard Studio after a year, and it is also backed by a big IP of the same name. Both game fans and movie fans are looking forward to it.

So as soon as the game started pre-sale, 800,000 copies were sold directly, and this was only in China.

The global pre-sale result is an exaggerated 3.57 million.

Sony, which has a good relationship with Luo Quan, once again won the exclusive rights to the console.

Although Microsoft's XBOX also tried to spend more money to buy the exclusive rights to the console of this game, Luo Quan was famous for keeping his wealth to others, so he failed.

So even though Microsoft offered a much higher price than Sony, Luo Quan did not agree.

Luo Quan has not been idle these days while waiting for the release, and is completing the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

TV No. 1 is planning to launch a "Chinese Heritage" music variety show.

That is to ask the singer to sing a Chinese-style song. This song can be an adaptation of an ancient poem, or it can be adapted from an allusion or history.

After singing, the guests at the scene will interpret the story behind the song and pass it on to China.

This variety show is actually similar to the popular poetry competition before, but one is a question-answering type, and this one is a music performance.

As a leader of the younger generation of Chinese-speaking music circles, Luo Quan’s talent is unparalleled in the world. How could the authorities forget her.

So naturally a task was assigned to her, asking her to write two songs to sing on the show.

No matter how lazy Luo Quan is to assign tasks, he can't shirk it.

Anyway, she had almost finished all her things for this year, so she left her two pets at home and went to the capital alone.

"If I hear that there are crop circles or water monsters in the Huangpu River in Shanghai again in the capital, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Before Luo Quan left, he called the two restless little things into the room, smiled and clenched his fists.

She hadn't moved her muscles and bones for a while, and she was actually very curious about the ability of these treasures to withstand blows.

When the two pets saw this, they immediately became silent, their bodies straightened up, and their heads kept nodding.

"Very good, you are a good boy like this." Luo Quan smiled and stroked the heads of the two pets: "Then I will go to the capital, take good care of the house, and live in peace with my mother and the others."

After saying that, Luo Quan dragged his suitcase out of the room and said goodbye to his mother, sister, and Mia in the living room.

That's the thing about being a star, you never know when work will suddenly come your way.

Luo Quan is already relatively free, and most of his time can be arranged freely.

But it is true that this kind of official task cannot be shied away from.

Three hours later, Luo Quan arrived at Beijing International Airport.

Looking around, there were no fans or station ladies picking up the plane.

Pulling up his collar to cover his neck, Luo Quan dragged his luggage out of the airport hall.

It’s not particularly cold in Beijing in October, only around 20 degrees.

But she still wore a khaki woolen coat and a pair of warm pants underneath.

It's a little bloated, but it's warmer than it is, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold due to sudden changes in temperature.

After finding a hotel to stay at, Luo Quan sent the two songs he had already prepared to the program team, as fast as ever.

There was still a week left before she went on stage to sing, and the rehearsal was three days later. During this period, she had nothing to do, so she just stayed in the hotel and played with her mobile phone.

In the past few days, there have been many fighting competitions sponsored by large companies in China, and there have been quite a few participants.

However, it is different from previous fighting competitions, so there are a large number of martial arts practitioners among the participants. In the past, there were more Sanda and boxing athletes.

Before this year, the most capable Chuanwu fighter in China was Yi Long.

This martial artist is marketed as the number one monk in Shaolin, but the Shaolin Temple does not recognize it.

Moreover, Yi Long actually only studied martial arts in Shaolin for a few years, and he was relatively reluctant to be a lay disciple.

However, during the years when Yilong was most popular, it still brought some traffic to Shaolin Temple.

However, Yi Long's early games were still watchable, but later he inevitably became a puppet manipulated by capital, and there were constant rumors of match-fixing.

By now, his reputation has been tarnished, and even his reputation as a martial artist has suffered a lot of slander because of him.

But no one expected that Chuan Wu Hui would suddenly become a big hit this year.

The peak battle between Daochang Cheng and Master Yanwu completely detonated this business field that almost no one has set foot in.

As capital has entered the market one after another, corresponding activities and marketing have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The most common ones are martial arts-themed fighting competitions.

After all, the value of martial arts is to knock down opponents, and the only way to embody this purpose is in the ring.

It is worth mentioning that these fighting competitions organized by capital investment are also open to Sanda boxing athletes who cannot teach martial arts and can participate.

In the past, this was just giving money to professional athletes.

At that time, martial arts and showmanship were synonymous, and they did not have actual combat capabilities at all.

When martial arts masters meet real fighting athletes, they are beaten until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen.

But this time the result was completely the opposite.

The most popular one recently is the "Martial Arts Leaders Conference" invested by Yifa Group.

National selection, each province determines the top three, and then the finals will be held in the capital.

The prize money for this competition is very generous. Just entering the top eight in the provincial competition can earn hundreds of thousands, while the prize money for the provincial champion is 600,000!

As for the overall winner of the competition, the prize money alone is five million, and he will also receive a suite in a new luxury building built by Yifa Group in Beijing, worth tens of millions at least!

This kind of treatment has never been seen in any domestic fighting competition before.

Since losing money in football, Yifa has not been involved in the sports industry for a long time.

This sudden entry into an unfamiliar field that has never been touched before, and the investment is so large, is indeed a very bold and courageous choice.

At the same time, it also lets others know that Chuanwu does have considerable business prospects.

With such a large investment, the "Martial Arts Leaders Conference" quickly became popular all over the Internet, and the mere preview generated hundreds of millions of comments.

Especially after seeing the rewards for the champion, Luo Quan was tempted to participate.

Of course, just thinking about it, with her current status and worth, there is no need to participate in this kind of competition.

But for those martial artists and combat athletes with special skills, this competition is a great opportunity to transcend classes.

So at that time, there were countless applicants.

There were several relatively well-known fighting athletes in the country participating in this competition. They were young men in their mid-twenties and in their prime.

But what is shocking is that they were all eliminated in the first round of the competition.

Those martial arts masters who emerged from the private sector almost beat these professional fighters to the ground with the attitude of a top martial artist beating a child.

Despite the frequent upsets, no one in the audience felt that the match was faked.

Because throughout the competition, there were really punches to the flesh and blood flying everywhere.

One of the contestants came back from UFC retirement. He was ruthless and extremely capable of fighting.

He was the one who lasted the longest under the martial arts masters, and he was also the one who was beaten the hardest.

Only halfway through the second round, he fell to the ground and started convulsing. The referee immediately stopped the game and sent the player to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Fortunately, after all, he had practiced. Although he seemed to be in danger on stage, it was not particularly serious. After treatment, Zitian regained consciousness and his life was not in danger.

It was also after this game that the Chinese martial arts masters became completely famous. The Wulin Leaders Conference has also become one of the most popular programs nowadays. It is searched seven or eight times every day. Netizens in major forums are very noisy. Make a deal.

As for the content of the quarrel, it was naturally about their favorite player.

At present, the auditions for the provincial competition have just ended, and the 128-to-64 competition is underway.

According to the progress, the provincial champion will probably be decided in the middle of next month.

During the audition stage, several masters with championship looks have already appeared.

One was named Zheng Yuanzai, who played a more authentic Drunken Boxing style than Brother Cheng Long. His body movements were like ghosts, and his punches struck in the east and west, making people wary.

What's outrageous is that he really drinks two taels of white wine every time before going on stage.

Anyone who knows fighting knows that this line of work is very responsive.

When facing an opponent's attack, if you react a little slower, you may be knocked down directly.

And alcohol is the biggest enemy of reaction.

I have never heard of any boxer who dares to drink before going on stage, let alone two ounces of liquor.

Most people would just lie down and fall asleep after drinking it, let alone fight in the ring.

As for this one, his nose was just a little red and his steps were a little wobbly. He was basically a drunkard, the kind who seemed to be able to pour the wine with just a push.

But once the fight started, it was completely different.

The opponents Zheng Yuanzai met during the audition were not tough either. It was obvious that they had practiced martial arts for several years.

But he was still beaten to the point where he couldn't find fault.

The opponents he met later were also very strong, but Zheng Yuanzai still passed easily.

Because his boxing skills are so cool, he gained a lot of fans not long after the competition started.

Many people even think that he can compete with Daochang Cheng and others.

In addition to Zheng Yuanzai, there is another player named Li Liang who also left a deep impression on the audience.

This Li Liang, like Master Yanwu, also studied under Shaolin.

However, Li Liang was an eighth-level lay disciple, not a parallel importer like Yi Long.

The martial arts performed by Li Liang include Iron Cloth Shirt, Powerful Vajra Fist, and Dragon Claw Hand.

Using one kind of martial arts in one match, he is as knowledgeable as Jiumozhi, as if he has learned all the stunts in the Shaolin Temple.

Master Yanwu also said during the live broadcast that Li Liang was very outstanding among lay disciples. Although he was his disciple, his martial arts was stronger than many of Master Yanwu's disciples.

This kind of evaluation is a bit scary.

If he is more powerful than Master Yanwu's junior brother, isn't that just like Master Yanwu?

Master Yanwu only knows iron cloth shirts, but Li Liang knows so many, and his level is not low.

The most important thing is that he is only thirty years old and still has considerable room for improvement.

If they hadn't known that Li Liang had been a secular monk for a long time, netizens would have thought that this was specially arranged by the Shaolin Temple to receive the bonus.

Zheng Yuanzai and Li Liang are two of the more dazzling players in the conference.

But that doesn't mean there are only these two masters.

There are a few eye-catching martial artists in every province who have made their mark by performing martial arts techniques famous in Shaw Brothers movies.

Although the audition has just ended, the competition is already exciting, and many well-known brands are paying high prices to buy advertising spaces.

The initial investment made by Yifa Group is expected to be repaid in a short time.

The offline tickets alone have been sold out, and the online advertising fees can probably be regarded as net income.

It was precisely because of such a hit that Yifa Group boldly approached Luo Quan and wanted her to write a theme song.

At first she wanted to refuse, but Yifa Group was truly wealthy and directly offered 100 million soft sister coins.

This is higher than the previous asking price of US$10 million abroad.

And the requirements are not high, as long as it is related to martial arts and is easy to listen to.

It doesn’t need to be very deep, but it does have to be popular.

If nothing else, this vision is very good.

After all, China's sinking market is too huge. After all, elegant things are niche and popular, so they have a larger audience and can make more money.

Luo Quan liked this kind of straightforward appeal.

In addition, the other party gave me too much, and I had nothing to do in the capital anyway, so I just accepted this extra money.

But 100 million won’t do.

After all, she is an international superstar and the most beautiful in the world, so she has to pay more!

Luo Quan asked for 150 million.

If you were an ordinary company, your liver would probably tremble when you see this price.

But Luo Quan feels that by singing for this competition, not only is the song valuable, but her fame is equally valuable.

Maybe many passers-by who don't pay attention to martial arts came here when they saw her name.

On the other hand, she really wanted to take advantage of the big dog Yifa.

Of course, she also knew that the price was set a bit high, and she didn't have high hopes.

But Yifa was worthy of being rich, and he agreed after only half a minute, which made Luo Quan wonder if the price he had set was too low.

"How much money have you made from this competition?" Luo Quan felt suspicious.

After taking the job, it took less than half a day to complete the commercial single. When Luo Quan sent it to Yifa, he was still a little dazed, thinking that this was too fast.

But after listening to it again, I immediately realized my shallowness.

Sure enough, there are no empty knights under the great reputation.

That evening, the official Weibo of the Wulin Leaders Conference released news:

"It's an honor to invite the well-known musician Luo Quan to sing the theme song for this show - "Swords Like Dreams"!"

As soon as this news came out, hot searches exploded instantly.
