Chapter 969: Digital Music (3rd Update)
In the room, Yang Ming heard Zhang Jianbai's words, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He couldn't help but think of the miserable loneliness of the record industry in his previous life.
With the advent of the Internet era, the impact on the traditional music industry is absolutely incomparable, and the music industry in various countries is unexpected!
But at least in countries and regions where the business system is relatively perfect, it can be supplemented and improved according to the new business rules, and the Chinese music industry is undoubtedly the most tragic in this regard.
On the one hand, there is no mature business system and legal protection, piracy is rampant; on the other hand, new media companies are completely playing a kind of robber role, the most obvious is Du Niang, movies, music, novels are all stolen, except for some entertainment companies with a certain strength can get compensation from Du Niang's side, other people without background, don't even think about it.
In the process of developing from traditional music to digital music, the music scene in China quickly collapsed, and even later there were fewer and fewer classic songs.
To be honest, Yang Ming feels that after 2008, there are basically no eye-catching singers, and as for the classic music that can be listened to, there are fewer and fewer every year.
Why?
Because it is unprofitable, who wants to waste their good youth on it!
Even those earth-shattering singer talent shows are all covers of former classics, and as for creation, there are almost none.
So much so that later, some people shouted: The slogan that Chinese music is dead!
Sometimes, Yang Ming also has to sigh that engaging in entertainment in Huaxia in this world is much happier than in his previous life.
At least when it comes to copyright, there aren't too many tangled issues, and piracy is minimized.
Then there is only one next, if there is a shift from traditional music to digital music.
"I heard that Yanjing's Great World Audiovisual Store will reduce its business area by half next year!" He Huan suddenly said with emotion.
Big World Audiovisual Store, Yang Ming also has the impression that this is the signature store of Yanjing Audiovisual physical store, even as the face of Yanjing Records, he didn't expect that the other party would be unable to hold it now.
This store, he has visited, three floors, more than 3,000 square meters of business area, can be called the audio-visual flagship store.
I didn't expect to shrink my business area in order to maintain operations.
Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news, this kind of thing, he can't stop it, the traditional record industry is impacted by digital music, this is the general trend, and no one can stop it.
The decline of the traditional record industry seems to have become a consensus from all walks of life.
"Records will die and the future will be collectibles. He said slowly.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Zhang Jianbai and He Huan both looked moved, and Zhang Jianbai said in disbelief: "Isn't it?"
Yang Ming can also understand Zhang Jianbai's unacceptability, even if he himself does not know the general trend of his previous life, it is difficult for people who are engaged in music to accept, but compared with his previous life, the music of this life will inevitably not collapse because of the disappearance of the traditional record industry.
Next, Yang Ming told Zhang Jianbai and He Huan in detail about the experience he had experienced once in his previous life, and the faces of the two became more and more ugly.
The two glanced at each other, and He Huan said lonely: "Hey, I went to the Great World Video Store a few days ago, and the flow of people is much less than before." ”
The impact of digital music on traditional records is unparalleled, especially young people are more likely to accept digital music than traditional record CDs!
Downloading your favorite music from the Internet to your computer or phone is much faster and easier than a CD.
Records were eliminated by tapes, tapes were eliminated by CDs, and now it is the turn of CDs to be replaced by digital music, and the world will always be ahead of its time, not stagnant.
"No wonder I see that you didn't release much of your own solo album last year, but vigorously expanded it on the Internet. He Huan suddenly said. "I paid attention, as soon as your song "East Wind Breaking" came out, it was already the first in the online music download week. ”
"Yes, we have a dedicated team for the development of digital music for singers. Yang Ming nodded and said.
This is also his golden finger to see through the historical development trend, and he asked Dongfang Huayin to adjust the company's development focus to digital music as early as possible.
Besides, the predecessor of Dongfang Huayin was the CRBT SP company that Yang Ming acquired Uncle Liu Xinsheng, and it is naturally not too unfamiliar with digital music.
For the packaging and promotion of digital music for its singers, it can be said that Dongfang Huayin is ahead of all record companies, and all websites on the Internet that provide paid music download basically have cooperative relations with Dongfang Huayin.
In today's world, Huaxia's copyright protection and the improvement of commercial law are enough to support the transformation of the Chinese music industry, and it will not collapse suddenly.
Unlike the previous life, after 2010, there are basically no eye-catching singers and music works in China.
Because Yang Ming already has a lot of experience in digital music, Zhang Jianbai and He Huan both asked him a lot of relevant questions, and he didn't hide it, and told the two of them some of his experiences.
"It's a pity that Niu Hua is not here, otherwise he would have called him out to drink together today. ”
After talking about music for a while, the three of them changed the topic, and then He Huan suddenly said something, and then he glanced at Yang Ming and said: "I really don't understand that you, the director and the leading actor, are not going, what kind of fun is he going to play a supporting role!"
Yang Ming smiled when he heard this, and said: "You don't know that Brother Niu's career focus is gradually shifting to the international aspect, and attending the Cannes Awards Ceremony is also a rare opportunity for him." ”
Yang Ming naturally would not object to the selection of "Transformers" to participate in the Cannes Awards, but he thought about going to the scene for a while, but he still didn't go over.
Recently, he has been too busy, not only busy with the preparation of the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", but also to participate in the Great Chinese Cultural Exchange Gala, which is simply a doppelganger, and this time it is the Cannes Awards and the Oscars in the air, he doesn't want to be used as pawn by others as cannon fodder like a fool.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he didn't have the past, and it was okay to be Manager Liang in Europe to attend the awards party instead of the company.
It's just that after Niu Hua found out, he took the initiative to invite Ying over, and Yang Ming naturally would not object.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the company would start shooting small-budget art films next year, or investing in independent films, Yang Ming would not want to get involved in these things.
Who said that the French film market is the largest art film market in the world?
In order to brush up on the sense of existence and play the popularity of Oriental DreamWorks, Yang Ming decided to participate in the selection.
At least for now, the center of Oriental DreamWorks' foreign film market is in the United States, not Europe.
In the next two days, Yang Ming methodically prepared the crew of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", because he already had the signboards of several actors, and now this movie has become the most anticipated movie in the entertainment industry, and he no longer needs to bother inviting actors, but many well-known big-name actors took the initiative to contact Oriental DreamWorks and wanted to get a role in it.
This also eased Yang Ming's work a lot.
Immediately, he focused on the 'Dream Director Project', but Yang Ming didn't expect that after this plan was leaked, it immediately caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.
