Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lu Qingsong's Adaptation Mission
The Black Hole Band was so popular that Cao Wu didn't expect it, and for several days, there were reporters guarding the gate and wanting to interview them.
It was Principal Zheng who arranged for the security guards of the Security Division to strengthen the security work, and the situation was better.
Even so, it still caused a lot of trouble to the lives of Cao Wu and others.
Because of the competition in the sports circle, "Believe in Yourself" has been on the hot search of the neck in one fell swoop, and the exposure has been further improved.
Niu Li was so busy that she wanted to help the Black Hole Band release news on the official media, thank the fans who like "Believe in Yourself", try to attract more attention, and let more people turn into fans.
I also have to coordinate and arrange interviews, and it is not a way for Cao Wu and others to hide in school, they have just squeezed into the list of third-rate bands, and they have to maintain a certain degree of exposure.
Music and brokerage companies are asset-light companies, and the initial investment is already small, but it is about to drain Niu Li's cash flow.
Her external business card is printed with a very tall title, chairman of Xinghai Music Culture Media Co., Ltd., but the entire company currently has only six employees, including her.
Six people, everyone eats horses, even if she works day jobs, she has to send out more than 20,000 yuan a month, not to mention the most money-burning channel public relations expenses.
The music industry and the entertainment industry are inseparable, and they can't avoid media publicity.
Even if you only do underground music and play music festivals, if you want others to hear your songs, you have to post them on music platforms, right?
Media publicity is a double-edged sword, and artists love and hate it.
They need the media to help them quickly become well-known to the public and become popular, but they are afraid of being caught in the underbelly.
A public figure is a person who is observed with a magnifying glass in the sun, and the advantages will be magnified, and the disadvantages will also be magnified.
People make mistakes, even saints poop, and no one's panties are clean.
The difference is that some people will take precautions and nip the danger in the cradle in advance.
Some first-line artists spend tens of millions of dollars on buying news every year, which is not only the money to buy hot searches for publicity, but also the money from the paparazzi to buy back news articles that are unfavorable to him.
The paparazzi have a bad reputation, and there are still a lot of people doing it, and famous artists will always have someone around them to follow them 24 hours a day, not because of hobbies, but because they are profitable.
How much does it cost to carry a camera and drive a car to shoot for a month? As long as you shoot enough heavy material, it is a net profit of millions of dollars! And there is absolutely no worry about selling!
No one can be vigilant 365 days a year, and sometimes the art of language can give the opposite meaning.
The badness of the paparazzi is well known, but this is also relative, if you can really keep yourself clean, then no amount of paparazzi will be able to shoot anything.
If you can't do it, then you don't have to complain, it's normal to take how much money you take and how much you suffer.
Of course, some people choose to fight back, just like a certain actress surnamed Yang in Cao Wuyuan's time and space, she is well aware of the importance of media mouthpieces, and began to cultivate her own team very early, so that later in the entire industry, the women's army under her is also famous, and she was once promoted to the peak of public opinion for nearly a year.
There is no shortage of such routines in this time and space, and they are even more mature.
Niu Li also intends to set up her own risk control team, but her family background is too thin.
Her little belongings are all the savings she has earned over the years with savings and financial investment, and she has also borrowed money from her family, which is enough to even maintain her salary, not to mention the large amount of money that will be spent in the early stage of expanding channels.
Fortunately, the Black Hole Band got two entries at once, although there was no shadow, but at least Niu Li was already a lot more relaxed.
The situation on the Black Hole Band's side was more urgent, so Niu Li sent Zhang Rong to rush over
Zhang Rong is a tall and thin young man who wears glasses, but he looks a little vicious because of the acne at the corners of his mouth and under his chin. However, because he made a lot of efforts in the last conflict with the ancient city band, Cao Wu had a good impression of him.
Zhang Rong came here this time to prepare for a long stay, and he even rented a bachelor apartment as a foothold.
After he came over, he counted all the media who came to Xiangcheng, selected three to five more powerful and relatively decent media, made an appointment with the Black Hole Band for an interview, and sent the rest back.
With him to deal with it, the pressure on Cao Wu and others has been reduced a lot, at least the reporters waiting at the school gate are gone.
This made them relax a lot, and in the past few days, many classmates have become strange when they look at them, and even the classmates in the class have become a little alienated from them.
This is also in Cao Wu's expectation, when a familiar friend around you suddenly becomes a serious star, there will always be a sense of distance.
However, this is not a big problem, the main reason is that they have too little time to spend with their classmates during this time, and they can only be smoothed out by time.
Perhaps, this is the price to pay for fame!
"Cao Wu, how about you listen to this version of my adaptation?"
During recess, Lu Qingsong sat next to Cao Wu with his mobile phone, smiled and stuffed the headphones into his ears.
At this New Year's Day party, the Black Hole Band appeared as the finale guests, how could they only sing one song? Teacher Cui told them that in addition to "Believe in Yourself", they must sing another song.
Cao Wu didn't want to rehearse the new song, so he asked the chin Tu Qingsong and Lele about the meaning, and Lu Qingsong said that "Du Xuan C" had not been performed on stage at school, so he could sing this song.
Batu and Lele had no opinion, and Cao Wu also agreed, but he made a suggestion that it would be better to rearrange the songs for this performance.
Lele and Batu are very chicken thieves, and immediately said that they would give this honor to Qingsong, and before Qingsong objected, Cao Wu also applauded, three to one, and Qingsong could only pinch his nose and agree.
Adaptation is a more difficult job than creation, because the level of adaptation requirements must be above the level of the original song, otherwise it is easy to be said that it is not as good as the original.
Qing Song attached great importance to this work, and for three days in a row, he took out an adapted version to Cao Wu almost every day.
However, every time Cao Wu nodded and praised it, he didn't mention any opinions, which made Qingsong's heart even more bottomless.
Gently nodding his head to listen to the whole song, Cao Wu smiled and nodded: "Well! It's good!
Lu Qingsong pursed his lips and smiled, and then frowned and complained: "You say it every time, can you give some opinions?
Cao Wu smiled and put his arm on his shoulder, pondered, and said: "I didn't say nonsense, adaptation is another creation, you have your own ideas and spirituality, I don't want to affect you, and your adaptation is really good, you have to have more confidence in yourself." ”
As he spoke, he jokingly patted Lu Qingsong's ass and said with a smile: "Let it go!
Lu Qingsong's face turned red and muttered, "Then I'll change you beyond recognition, don't blame me." ”
"That's better!" Cao Wu smiled: "Give Batu and Lele a sample, it's best that our band's songs will be released in four versions in the future, and each person has one style, how fun is that?"
