Chapter 23: What are your dreams?
I don't know if it was because I went to the capital to return in vain, breaking the momentum of good luck, and after returning to the magic capital, Song Yanming fell into a stage where everything was not going well. On the night of the 23rd, when he was preparing to mix "The Queen of Heaven" and send it to the recording studio, he worked overtime to make the mastering tape, and he thought of a problem.
"This song is still free, right?" Song Yanming sat in front of the computer and crackled on the keyboard with a cigarette in his mouth.
There are three modes of domestic digital music on the music platform, free, single charge, VIP; the first is free, needless to say, everyone has no money to get, and the single charge is to the listener to spend money to buy it to listen, and the money obtained by the music platform and the author is divided.
The third type of VIP is either the platform pays a one-time payment to buy the right to use it from the author, or the author takes the initiative to ask his song to open a VIP according to the playback volume.
The last song "Glory" chose to be free, and Song Yanming had always subconsciously thought that this song was still free, but he suddenly remembered that the last song was released in the name of giving back to fans.
Jiang Su, who was sitting next to him, peeled the orange peel and replied casually: "No, the unit price is three yuan." β
Song Yanming frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "That's the case...... You've also heard this song, it's a song that is easy to spread and break the circle... If you charge for it, it will affect the popularity of the song, so I mean free release. β
It is a very embarrassing thing to charge for digital music, and the free and unprofitable fees affect the dissemination, and even the albums charged by Zhou Lin and Chen can't be sold in recent years.
"What route do you want to take in the future?" Jiang Su asked without answering.
"Singers, of course. Song Yanming blurted out, paused and continued: "Pure singer, I don't want to be an actor across the border and be an idol in variety shows, I just want to write songs and sing." β
Jiang Su chuckled and put the peeled orange in Song Yanming's hand: "Then how do you want to make money?" With your mind, you should know very well what the current situation of Chinese music is. So how do you make money if you do it?"
"Concerts, selling copyrights, or do you think that passers-by pay for your albums? It's 2019, the tenth year that the Chinese music scene has died, and pure singers can't live. β
Song Yanming took a deep breath of cigarette and extinguished the cigarette butt: "I mean, I think in the future, it's still developing, whether it's a variety show or a love bean, wait for me to become more popular........."
"Why can you be an idol on a variety show? Because the company sees value in you, but you want to tell them that you are not worthy, then why do you say the company still wants you to be an idol on a variety show?"
"I ...... No...... The company's interests ........"
"Song Yanming, do you know, whenever I ask you when you can write a good song, there is always fire in your eyes when you answer me. I love that look of excitement and ambition, and that's why I've always respected your wishes to the fullest. Jiang Su interrupted Song Yanming's words again, and as he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.
"But I like it's useless, you have to give a reason to shut up the company and the penguins and listen to you, and let them do what you want. β
Hearing this, Song Yanming breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was indescribably mocking: "So do you want to see the sales of this song? β
Jiang Su smiled and spit out a beautiful smoke ring in Song Yanming's face: "Your heart is so big? Okay, let me ask another way, what is your dream?" Answer me seriously!"
Jiang Su was never serious, and his face was serious, which made Song Yanming think of the director of the orphanage in his previous life. Whenever he rode on the outer wall of the orphanage and watched the sprinkler pass by, the old lady stood under the wall, looking at him with a serious face and not speaking.
In fact, he didn't want to see the sprinkler truck, he was curious about the songs played by the sprinkler truck, and seriously said that music was probably his dream for two lifetimes?
It should be, if you want to say no, what you did in your previous life and in this life will not become a joke.
"Singer. β
"The eighteenth-line singer is a singer, Zhou Linchen is also a singer, MJ is still a singer!"
"MJ, the kind that's hotter than MJ. Song Yanming scratched his head and whispered back.
The corners of Jiang Su's mouth rose and a smile pulled: "Oh." β
"Oh what do you mean?"
Jiang Su stood up and stretched, the light clothes in summer outlined a beautiful figure, and the ceiling light beam without the main lamp shone on the body like a little angel with a halo on his head, but the cigarette in his hand was very ruinous to the atmosphere.
"It's free to go online, 15 million real views in a week, and then they all shut up and listen to us, what do you think?"
Song Yanming was in a trance, this seemed to be the first time that Jiang Su had unreservedly emerged in front of him, but fortunately, this crazy girl was facing him. Thinking of this, he smiled easily and said hello.
"But like you said, even if we have the final say, you still have to be a good little idol in the short term, what should you do. Jiang Su tilted his ass and fell on the chair: "For the time being, I want to let those bastards take advantage!"
Song Yanming, who had finally reached a balance of interests with Jiang Su, sighed when he heard this: "What's wrong?"
Tiandao replied, not only decided to buy Mingyue Tianya to make a promotional song, but also added a message saying that he would shoot a song MV for you. β
"Isn't this a good thing?" asked Song Yanming with some puzzlement.
This time, Jiang Su shook his head and sighed: "It was originally a good thing, but because Sister Fang was dissatisfied with your diva song online for free, she couldn't help it with the MV, and she didn't agree to shoot the MV." In the end, Tiandao had no choice but to title Xu Chengyun's birthday party on the 31st of this month, reducing the publicity funds that originally belonged to your song MV. β
Now Song Yanming understood, the endorsement of the whole group, he was particularly prominent in the middle, sang propaganda songs and filmed MVs, and the rest of his teammates were lonely. Fans will certainly be dissatisfied, and the teammates themselves will not be happy.
"Okay, it's okay, I didn't expect much from this song anyway. Song Yanming suppressed the crooked words in his heart and said with relief.
I don't know if I said too much today, Jiang Su was comforted by Song Yanming, as if some valve had been opened.
chattering and complaining frantically, Song Yanming had no choice but to turn into a trash can helplessly to listen to Jiang Su vent his negative energy, and the two chatted for more than an hour before it ended.
After Jiang Su left, Song Yanming sat in front of the bay window and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, quietly thinking about whether to change his previous plan.
The so-called 15 million views that the two of them just talked about Shut up, a group of capitalists will completely shut up because of 15 million views, Song Yanming doesn't believe it, if he can't continue to exert his strength, those people will not remain silent forever.
And Jiang Su talked to him about his dreams, he believed it, but he didn't believe it to say that Jiang Su just talked to him about his dreams. Judging from Song Yanming's villain's heart, Jiang Su didn't bet heavily on him, betting that he could walk out of a pure singer road.
Of course, no one is perfect in his deeds. As long as Jiang Su is really good to him and thinks about him, it's okay.
But when Jiang Su fully supported him, he also had to give some appropriate responses.
Before, he thought about slowly developing the dog, and after two years of the limited group, he would find an opportunity to negotiate with the company, and then take out the good songs.
Looking back now, my previous thoughts were a little too naΓ―ve, or that I could see different things at different heights.
If he doesn't even have the decision to give up, how can he say that he will surpass MJ? He is afraid that he will be crushed into slag in less than two years.
Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, and waste snacks are still waste snacks when they are reborn. If he can't change his mind, he's just a humanoid curl at best.
Speaking of extremes, even if there is no music from the earth, with his current starting point, he can be regarded as a promising future, and he can't find anyone to write him a few good songs after throwing a lot of money?
Since then, Song Yanming has firmly established the idea in his heart, not a dog, but a person.
Spread out the play, play out of the tiger, play out of a thousand miles. Running wildly on the road of the superstar, don't pay attention to those mediocre things that disturb themselves.
