Chapter 177: Just playing with tickets, don't take it too seriously
The process of recording the song went smoothly, but after recording the song, Zhang Dongya put forward different opinions.
"First of all, I have to say that it was a real pleasure to be able to hear you sing live. β
Zhang Dongya first complimented Qi Yu, and he was telling the truth, because he could feel the influence of "Heavenly Demon Sound" the most at the scene.
Although the recorded voice also contains the power of "Heavenly Demon Sound", after all, there is no direct effect of spiritual power, so the effect is much smaller.
"Then I want to talk about the way singers make money now. β
Zhang Dongya said: "Because of the development of science and technology, the traditional record industry has long declined, and now although there is a sales model of digital albums, major music software has also cracked down on pirated software, and it can be said that there is no pirated music software on the market." However, digital album sales are still not as good as they were in the record era of the year. β
"The fact that listeners' living standards have improved and that the way to buy singles and albums has become easier does not mean that listeners are willing to spend money on albums. Especially in ...... In cases where you don't already have a real fan base. β
"Normally, if singers want to make money at the moment, they just release songs for free to accumulate fans. Of course, it is not completely free, but the copyright of the song is temporarily contracted to the music playback platform, and the music platform pays a certain amount of fees. In terms of the platform, it will make a profit by allowing users to recharge and become members. β
"After accumulating a certain amount of fame, you can take on commercial performances, it is actually very easy to take on hundreds of thousands of songs a game, even if only one or two songs become popular, after all, it is now an era when traffic is king. If you can stabilize your traffic and maintain your popularity for a long time, you can choose to hold a concert and receive advertising endorsements to make money. β
After a pause, Zhang Dongya looked at Qi Yu, who was listening seriously, and said, "Finally, I want to know your plans. If you want to go the path of a singer, I suggest that the album should be free, free for users, and charge a fee for the platform. β
"The reason why the three songs you sang in the show before were able to sell very well was only because of the popularity of the show. Of course, your singing skills are also one of the important reasons. can only rely on word-of-mouth to ferment in the absence of the popularity of the show...... The effect is not too ideal. β
After listening to Zhang Dongya's introduction, Qi Yu sighed in his heart.
In fact, Zhang Dongya said this, he himself knows very well.
So far, his real fan base is still readers. The few songs released are still circulating in a small area in the final analysis, and the most popular ones are also taking advantage of the popularity of the show.
After that, he suddenly joined the Hero Academy, and the popularity in this area dropped a lot.
Even because of his record on the Battle Network and his ranking in the Hero Academia Power Rankings, it is difficult for him to have a wide range of influence in a short period of time.
After all, he hadn't even reached the transcendent realm.
Zhang Dongya said that the best way is to accumulate fame and wait for the day when you can release a single and easily sell tens of millions.
At that time, it is not a problem to casually pick up some commercial performances, variety shows, and advertising endorsements, and hold a few concerts a year, one or two hundred million a year.
But Qi Yu can't wait.
He can't develop according to the model of normal people in the entertainment industry.
"Most of my time is still focused on cultivation. Qi Yu didn't explain too much, just said: "Singing is a pastime after cultivation, so there is no need to take it so seriously." β
Pastime?
Zhang Dongya wants to say that you just have a pastime, and your current results have already made many talented and hard-working new stars in the music industry envious.
So what if you get serious?
"That's right. β
Although Zhang Dongya is in the music circle, he also agrees with Qi Yu's perfunctory reason, and said: "You have the talent to promote to the Sky Realm, so naturally you can't waste it." β
When he said this, Zhang Dongya's face was full of undisguised envy.
This is still the case that he doesn't know that in the Hero Academy, some people already think that Qi Yu is a supreme genius and has a chance to be promoted to the god level.
Qi Yu smiled and said, "After that, I will ask Teacher Zhang to worry a lot, and in terms of remuneration, Teacher Zhang doesn't need to worry about it at all." β
Zhang Dongya also laughed and said, "If you say it's free, it's definitely free, then it's definitely free, don't worry, I will do my best." Of course, you don't need to retouch your singing skills anymore, and the rest of the work is very easy for me. β
After touting it again, the recording of Qi Yu's new album is completely over.
According to Zhang Dongya, it only takes two days for the album to be produced, and in these two days, Ding Lisi also said that she was able to complete the contract with QQ Music.
The album is not priced high, with a total of ten songs and a price of 18 credit points.
"This price point is the most suitable one we have discussed before. Ding Lisi said: "The sharing ratio is seven three, we are seven, and QQ Music is three." This sharing ratio is actually a bit unreasonable, because those superstars can not only get all the sales, but also get the huge signing fee given by the platform. β
Qi Yu smiled: "It's already very good, I'm not a real superstar now." β
Ding Lisi said with some dissatisfaction: "But the songs you wrote, your singing level, is no worse than those superstars." I think that in the entire music circle, Xu Yuan can be compared to you. β
Zhang Dongya, a professional next to him, agreed at the first time.
"Yes, but don't mind too much, strength is strength, fame is fame, and those superstars can bring huge traffic. Zhang Dongya blew out a dose of rainbow fart again and said, "But it won't take too long, as long as Teacher Qi can play music for nothing, one day he will be able to reach that level, or even stronger than them." β
Qi Yu waved his hand, signaling that he would not continue the topic, looked at Ding Lisi and asked, "How did you study the song I will give you?"
Ding Lisi hesitated for a while before saying, "You can sing it, but I don't know what the effect of singing it will be." β
Qi Yu nodded and said, "Then sing it and try it, Teacher Zhang and I will help you find your feelings." β
Because of the three members of Fei'er's band, they still need to work overtime to supplement the instrumental part of Qi Yu's album, so Ding Lisi can only sing a cappella now.
After entering the recording studio, Ding Lisi, who took several deep breaths, finally calmed down, and then began to sing.
βThere'safirestartinginmyhingafeverpitchandit'sbringingmeoutthedarkβ¦β¦β
When Qi Yu listened to it, he naturally compared it with the original singer of this song, and found that Ding Lisi's voice was not only magnetic, but also very rich, and it was completely at the same level as the original singer.
It's just that in terms of singing skills, there is still a certain gap between the current Ding Lisi and the very professional original singer.
But because Ding Lisi is a cultivator, she can completely make up for this gap.
Overall, Ding Lisi's singing effect is even better than the original singing.
This is the power of cultivation.
After Zhang Dongya listened to it with headphones, his expression fell into a dullness, although there was no soundtrack, he could still feel a kind of power from this song.
After Ding Lisi finished singing, Zhang Dongya quickly took off the headphones, looked at Qi Yu, and asked with fiery eyes: "This song is called ......."
Qi Yu replied, "Rollinginthedeep." β
Zhang Dongya said excitedly: "This song is too much like a song written by a foreigner, eh, Mr. Qi, I don't doubt that this song was not created by you." But I have been in the industry for so many years, and I never thought that we, Huayu people, would be able to write such an eagle song. β
"I promise, this song is going to be a hit, and it's a big hit. β
After saying these words excitedly, Zhang Dongya suddenly fell silent, and then glanced at Ding Lisi, who was still a little dazed in the recording studio and couldn't hear them talking, and hesitated: "Teacher Qi, why don't you sing this song yourself, modify the lyrics a little, it's no problem at all, your voice and singing skills are also completely able to control this song." β
Qi Yu smiled: "I'm too lazy to sing, and I said it, writing songs and singing are really just used to relax my mind, so there's no need to be so serious." β
Zhang Dongya had nothing to say.
Qi Yu pressed the call button and said to Ding Lisi in the recording studio: "Singing is very good, but there are a few words, you should pay attention to it when you sing......"
And Zhang Dongya, who was next to him, had already begun to feel sorry for Qi Yu in his heart.
He has been in the industry for many years, and he knows very well that no matter how good this song is, with Ding Lisi's appearance conditions...... will definitely make the performance of this song unable to reach the level it should be.
If this song is sung by Qi Yu, or to Xu Yuan......
Thinking of this, Zhang Dongya's eyes suddenly lit up.
