Chapter 64: Album Published
Jiang Hui designed a trilogy for the online promotion of the Dream Band, the first two rounds were to push a song and the name Dream Band, and the third round was to open another song, and then the listeners knew that the Dream Band rose by strength, not a song that took a bullshit luck.
After getting Bai Xue's permission, the third round of water army promotion chose "Meet". This song can conquer Bai Xue, and Jiang Hui also believes that it can conquer countless young men and women.
After several days of bombardment, Dream Band and "Mice Love Rice" and "Meet" have become a dark horse in the music scene, and Jiang Hui feels that the original plan to release the album after the singing competition at the end of the month needs to be revised.
In recent days, there have been record companies that want to sign contracts with Dream Band, but the conditions are relatively average, if Dream Band can release the album in advance, with the hot wind on the Internet, it should be able to have a good sales.
The sales of the album have gone up, and the fame will naturally go up, and then you can get some better conditions by signing a contract with the record company, Jiang Hui doesn't want the dream band to sign a deed of sale casually. Since I plan to support them to take the position, I naturally hope that they can achieve as much as possible, and it will be easier for them to borrow their strength in the future.
Jiang Hui communicated his thoughts to the members of the Dream Band, and everyone was convinced of Jiang Hui's judgment, they had not adapted to the rhythm of their already popular so far.
The specific matters of the album's release were handled by the members of the band themselves, and Jiang Hui just helped guide the direction of development. In fact, they have recorded the songs themselves, it is nothing more than how many copies to prepare and which company to help with them. It's a hassle if it's okay, but these troubles don't exist in Dream Band. These second-generation people can find a relationship with the corresponding company casually if they find three aunts and six wives, and the album can be launched in a few days.
The dream band asked Jiang Hui to dinner, which can be regarded as a celebration banquet for the success of online promotion. The location is in a courtyard in the second ring road, if Zhang Mengze is not waiting nearby, it is estimated that Jiang Hui may not be able to find it.
There were no outsiders at today's dinner, except for the four members of the band, Jiang Hui and He Ling. He Ling is the bridge between Jiang Hui and the band, a bit like the role of a matchmaker, bringing Jiang Hui and the Dream Band together. In addition, she is the cousin of the band's lead singer Zhang Mengze, so she is naturally indispensable to this celebration banquet.
Today's food is private cuisine, private cuisine usually has no store signs, no fixed menu, no full-time waiter, but the cooking techniques of the dish are often ancestral, have a unique flavor, and limited supply, can not be eaten in restaurants on the market. It is said that most of these restaurants originated from the deep house compound in ancient times, and the location is relatively remote, each with its own characteristics, and it is relatively low-key.
This kind of place, Jiang Hui is really the first time to come, there are not many people in the antique courtyard, and it is estimated that there are not many guests every day.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, because he wanted to protect his throat, Zhang Mengze accompanied everyone to drink a glass of red wine and then used a drink instead of drinking with everyone. A few people are relatively familiar, and they eat and drink more casually.
"Jiang Hui, where do you want to develop in the future? With your talent, why don't you also try to develop in the entertainment industry?", Zhang Mengze said.
"Anyway, singing is my hobby, but I don't really want to turn my hobby into a career," Jiang Hui said.
"So what do you want to make a career out of? I heard He Ling say that you are in the clothing business right now," Zhang Mengze said.
"Starting a business, being your own boss, the clothing business is just a means to make money at the beginning, and I still hope to enter the Internet and some physical industries in the future," Jiang Hui said.
"When the dot-com bubble burst a few years ago, a lot of companies went bankrupt, and this line of work wasn't so easy to do, right?" said Zhang.
"It's really hard to do, but I think the development of the Internet will be faster and faster in the next ten years, gradually changing people's lives. Maybe one day, you can stay at home with a mobile phone, and you can do it for eating, ordering, shopping, reading books, chatting with friends, and even in the future, you can eat, drink and have fun with a mobile phone in hand, and you don't even need a wallet," Jiang Hui said.
"Jiang Hui, you've read too much science fiction, you have such a powerful mobile phone, you hurry up and give me one", He Ling said.
"Not yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future, I'll make one myself and give it to you in a few years," Jiang Hui said.
"Jiang Hui, you can't just make a promise to a girl, you have to do it if you promise", Zhang Mengze looked at Jiang Hui and He Ling and said.
"I promise that in a few years I will build my own company to produce this kind of mobile phone and give each of you one," Jiang Hui said.
The few people present were all laughing at Jiang Hui, only Jiang Hui knew that he was serious. It's already November 2003, and according to history, it will be four years before Apple releases the first generation of smartphones. Jiang Hui is confident that he will launch his own smartphone before Jobs releases the first generation of Apple phones.
"You just said that you want to engage in the Internet, what do you want to do?", He Ling asked.
"I'll make a website first, I'll sell the specific content first, and let you be the first batch of test users when it launches early next year," Jiang Hui said.
"Come on, we'll wait," Zhang Mengze said.
"I guess you can be a little more relaxed recently, and you will be busy in the future, so get ready to be a trapeze," Jiang Hui said to the band with a smile.
"Our dream is to be able to sing, to sing to more people, and trapeze is not a problem at all," Zhang Mengze said.
Several people staggered and drank a lot, except for Zhang Mengze. When the meeting was dismissed, Jiang Hui and He Ling took a taxi back to school together.
"Why did you drink so much today?", Jiang Hui asked.
"I'm so happy that my cousin's dream is finally coming true, and that's what I once dreamed of," He Ling said.
"Okay, congratulations on becoming a salted fish that has made your dreams come true," Jiang Hui said.
"What do you mean?", He Ling didn't understand and asked.
"There is a saying that dreams still have to be had, what if they come true? Without dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish? Salted fish still wants to turn over. So you are a salted fish who has fulfilled your dreams," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
"You are the salted fish, I hate salted fish the most, it is fishy," He Ling said.
"Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance. I see that you have been a little sullen lately, relax, don't think so much, maybe there are other surprises waiting for you in front of you," Jiang Hui said.
He Ling didn't say anything more, and the two of them went back to school silently.
