Chapter 491: The album is ready

"How big the heart is, how exciting the stage is!Q~ Lalalala!"

Meng Fan imitated Cai Wenji's Lolita Yin, saw Jin Xiaowen come in, and quickly seized the opportunity to end this improvised trip to open the black, if it ends again, God knows when Uncle Shi Fifteen will play, put away his mobile phone, and pulled up Shi Fifteen by the way, and imitated Lolita, "Let's go!

Shi 15: "Huh?"

"Elderly" Shi 15 was dragged by Meng Fan to the recording studio, in fact, the songs of the whole album have been recorded one after another during this time, and other details such as the cover have been done, but Meng Fan Shi 15 Jin Xiaowen is all striving for perfection, and it is still necessary to deal with some details again, further improve, and strive for every sound in the album to be poured into it in the best state, not only Meng Fan's singing, but also accompaniment.

After two days, it can be regarded as a complete finish. The cover packaging has been done, and Shi 15 asked the members of his studio to send the master tape directly to the record studio.

Meng Fan's album this time, Shi 15 is the producer, and at the same time, he also handed over the rest of the follow-up time for the production of the record to his studio, including the release.

Since the advent of MP3, the record industry has begun to decline, and then in the era of the national Internet, the record industry has basically declined. Abroad is relatively good, but in China, in the era of barbaric development of the Internet in the early days, the winter of musicians began. It wasn't until now that I paid attention to the genuine audition, which was considered to be a warm-up.

However, this is the recovery of musicians, and the traditional record industry still continues to survive the winter, and it can even be said that it is hibernating, and the possibility of waking up is basically hopeless.

Nowadays, there are very few singers who still release records through traditional methods, basically they are big-name singers, and they are slowly focusing on collector's editions and other high-quality products, and the buying crowd has also narrowed down to the fan circle and iron fans, and ordinary people rarely buy records anymore.

In the era of genuine auditions, traditional records are replaced by digital albums.

Therefore, the number of physical albums released by Meng Fan this time is not large, only 50,000 copies of the first print, which is definitely a lot if it is compared with the current situation of singers releasing albums, and the number of albums on the fifteenth division is also this number, but compared to the number of first prints of Meng Fan's comics, it is really a bit pitiful.

The record industry is now in this situation, even if Meng Fan is now hugely popular, even if the album is handled by Shi 15 and Jin Xiaowen, even if Meng Fan's singing skills are very good, he can still only print 50,000 copies for the first time.

This is not to say that Meng Fan's popularity is so high that no fans are willing to buy it, but for most people, there is no place to listen to it!

How many people now have a device at home that can put discs?

However, there are also some singers who have QR codes in their albums that can be scanned in addition to discs, and they can directly connect to the APP to listen to music with a sweep, and even add some "carefully prepared" surprises to the album in order to increase sales and so-called fan benefits, such as hard photos with commemorative value with bells and whistles, and so on.

Meng Fan can also do this, but in addition to making more money, it really doesn't make any sense, it's better to let qualified fans or roads buy it to collect or listen, and the main channel is still on digital albums.

Digital albums are now the biggest sales channel for singers' albums, and the key is indeed convenience, which can be listened to permanently after purchasing on the website or APP, and in addition to supporting their favorite singers, they can also really listen to his beautiful singing voice.

......

"Meng Fan, that iron god, really released an album!"

This was an exclamation from the office of the director of the copyright management department in charge of Penguin Music's music library, and then without any hesitation, "Sign, must sign, must take!"

After speaking, he immediately took the vice president and assistant to the living room to meet with the person in charge of the fifteenth studio, and Meng Fan also handed over the signing of the electronic album contract to the fifteenth studio.

Shi 15 Studio has cooperated with Penguin Music, and Meng Fan has always cooperated with Penguin a lot, so the first choice for digital album release is still in Penguin's house, as long as the contract is given according to the standard, Meng Fan basically doesn't want to toss. Well, the standard of first-line singers is a must.

However, in the end, the standard negotiated is higher than that of first-line singers, and even higher than the standard of Shi 15, including the sharing ratio (including the share of this platform and the share of the sub-platform, for example, after the song is put into storage, Penguin has the right to cooperate with other platforms for secondary authorization, and Meng Fan can get the share of the platform to the Penguin platform), recommendation strength, etc., the specifications are higher than that of Shi 15.

The reason is also simple, this is Meng Fan's first album.

Generally speaking, crossover stars have top influence and popularity in the original field, and crossover albums can enjoy the standards of first-line singers. For example, Huang Bo, a first-line top actor who crosses over the border (he can be regarded as stepping back) to release an album, must be in accordance with first-line standards. For example, the singles released by the big poplars in the sports world are all the same, as for the single released by Jack Ma, the first master of martial arts who smashed Zhen Yewen and punched Jia Tony and kicked Wu Zhan Wolf by falling towards Qinglong, let alone play tickets.

Meng Fan, in addition to his popularity is now in full swing, but also because he is really able to sing, whether it is the cooperation with the national team demon Qin Jing at the National Day Gala, the cooperation of the CD Master 15 who walked on the Double 11 Gala, or his own solo singing, he has shown extraordinary singing skills, and he is really looking forward to Meng Fan's album, not just to make a fun picture or help push down the popularity, that is really to buy and enjoy!

Therefore, the request put forward by the person in charge of Shi 15 Studio, basically Penguin Music agreed, and the standard given is indeed higher than that of Shi 15.

In addition, there is another album to be released, that is, the soundtrack of the first season of "Spirits Underground", which contains all the songs from the first season of the anime, including the opening song, ending song and interlude, a total of twelve songs. There are eight people who participated in the singing of the song, including Meng Fan and Shi Fifteen, Jin Xiaowen, Bai Zhi, Su Qingcen, as well as two singers knocked by Meng Fan in "Phantom Music" and a voice actor singer who has a certain reputation in the industry and participated in the dubbing of this cartoon.

In the case of physical albums, there are also preparations, and there are not many first prints, only 5,000 copies. It will be available along with the digital album after the first season of "Souls Underground" has been played.

Although everyone knows that Meng Fan has already crossed over to sing, but as soon as he started e-sports, he immediately wanted to release an album again, after the news came out, it was still very surprising, this crossover speed is a bit fast, and the position is very strong.
