Chapter 32: Once You
The prevalence of electronic music sources has greatly hit the sales of physical CDs, but it has allowed more people to have access to their own music, so the vast majority of singers are happy to see it.
Even, there are many singers now, and the album has directly canceled the production of physical CDs and only released electronic music sources.
Don't look at the low price of electronic music sources, but they can't stand the large sales volume, and the singer's income is only a lot more than the release of physical CDs.
Especially now, the economic level of the people is high enough, and the disposable income in their hands is much more than before, and they are willing to spend it on the things they like.
A song costs a dollar, and if someone doesn't have 800 songs in his personal account, he can't call himself a fan at all.
In addition to the rational consumption of real music fans, in the sales of electronic music sources, the impulsive consumption of idol fans accounts for a large proportion.
As a fan, if you don't even want to spend a dollar for your idol, can you still be called a fan?
Therefore, Jiang Yuming was worried about Zhao Zhenghao's sudden awakening of creative ability before.
As long as Zhao Zhenghao can really write songs, no matter how bad and naïve he is, there are fans who are confused by his handsome face, and they are willing to pay real money for it!
What's more, judging from the quality of the two songs that Zhao Zhenghao released before, his creative ability is above the level!
Therefore, Jiang Yuming and Dong Peihan had to find ways to abort Zhao Zhenghao's new album before.
Because, as long as Zhao Zhenghao's new album is released, his title will change from "idol singer" to "singer-songwriter", then he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
As long as the level of his new album is not too far from the passing line, then he has the foundation to establish himself in the entertainment industry.
It is no longer Dong Peihan and Jiang Yuming who can attack and suppress it with some shady small means!
……
The last thing I want to see is that it still happened, Dong Peihan and Jiang Yuming can't think about it, they can only hope that Zhao Zhenghao's creative talent will be consumed on "Miss Dong" and "I Started Rocking", and the level of new songs has dropped significantly!
However, after only listening to the thirty-second trial version, even if they don't want to admit it, they can't be impressed by Zhao Zhenghao's talent.
"Once You" is one of Zhao Zhenghao's favorite singers in his previous life, one of the representative figures in the Chinese rock circle, and Xu Wei's masterpiece.
Although the title of the song is "Once You", the lyrics are "Once Me" and "Once We".
I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword
Take a look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always a little frivolous
Now you call the world home
The girl who once made you feel distressed
Now it is gone
Love always makes you yearn and feel annoyed
It has left you bruised all over your body
Dilililidilililidenda
Dilililidilililidada
Dilililidilililidada
Walk on the road to courage
Dilililidilililidenda
Dilililidilililidada
Dilililidilililidada
There are sadness and excitement
Every time it's sad
Just look at the sea alone
I always think of my friends who are walking on the road
How many are healing
Dilililidilililidenda
Dilililidilililidada
Dilililidilililidada
I don't know how many lonely nights
Dilililidilililidenda
Dilililidilililidada
Dilililidilililidada
Woke up drunk last night
Every time it's sad
Just look at the sea alone
I always think of my friends who are walking on the road
How many are waking up
Let's dry this glass
A good man's heart is like the sea
has experienced the ups and downs of life
This smile is warm and innocent
At the beginning of the song, the common voice of every young person with a dream is spoken!
Who hasn't had a youthful frivolity? Who hasn't fantasized that one day their dreams will come true and trample the whole world under their feet?
The reality is as cruel as this! Therefore, the dream of the vast majority of people is only a dream in the end.
However, after many years, looking back, although it is inevitable that there will be regrets that dreams are difficult to come true, but looking back on the road traveled along the way, there are more gains, so although I regret it, I don't regret it!
And those who have never given up their dreams, although sometimes, will feel lonely, although there will also be wavering, want to get drunk and rest, but after going through so much, they can still smile at the road ahead, towards the goal, struggle more than once, more worthy of admiration!
……
This song also reflects a lot of Zhao Zhenghao's thoughts.
In his previous life, he had always pursued his dream of music, and even if he was down, he never gave up!
In the process, he cried and laughed, felt lonely, and enjoyed the joy of success.
Now, looking back, he really feels that the experience along the way is the greatest wealth of his life!
Not to mention anything else, if there was no accumulation in the process of pursuing his dreams in his previous life, even if he was favored by God and crossed over, it would be impossible for him to realize his dreams.
Zhao Zhenghao's predecessor, in fact, is also a child with dreams, but he is lucky enough, all the way, all the way, all smooth sailing, although the back has gone to a fork in the road, but after all, he has already enjoyed the glory of success.
……
The emotion contained in this song "Once You" is slightly sad, but the spirit conveyed is nostalgia and no regrets for the youth!
The confidence and courage to persist in the dream revealed in the lyrics is a natural strength, but it is the most moving.
Cui Ran's arrangement, calm and calm, Wu Weicheng and others' accompaniment, relaxed, coupled with Zhao Zhenghao's sometimes low-pitched, sometimes high-pitched singing, to create a just right comfortable atmosphere for the audience, immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves!
Even Jiang Yuming, Dong Peihan, and even Ding Jiepeng, with the mind of picking bones in eggs, people who came to listen to this song, in the process of appreciation, were slowly attracted by the song itself, connected with themselves, and felt a lot.
Really good music is the magic that can move everyone whether they are friends or foes!
……
The reason why Zhao Zhenghao chose this song "Once Upon a Time" as the title song of the new album is not only the energy of the song itself, but also its popular style, which can be more easily accepted by music fans.
Zhao Zhenghao wants to use this song to tell those who like rock and roll, or don't like rock 'n' roll, that it's not roaring and shouting, gloomy and dark, it's rock 'n' roll!
Rock and roll, you can also chant and sing softly!
Zhao Zhenghao's goal has been achieved!
At present, the dragon country, the electronic music source market, presents a three-legged situation, three large websites, occupy more than 90% of the dragon country electronic music source market share, to other small websites, leaving only some scraps.
Under normal circumstances, these three big websites will try their best to obtain the exclusive right to sell singers' music sources, and how many exclusive music sources of emperors and superstars they can have is one of the important indicators to measure their market position.
If Zhao Zhenghao was three years ago, the copyright of the new album would also be eligible to be bid by these three major websites, and now it is ...... It's hard to say.
It is also possible to buy exclusives, but in terms of licensing fees and shares, it is far from Zhao Zhenghao's psychological expectations.
The main purpose of Zhao Zhenghao's release of this album is not to make money, but if conditions permit, it is understandable to try to fight for the interests that should belong to him.
In the end, after repeated discussions with Wang Yulan, it was decided not to give any of the three major websites exclusive, but to log in to the three major websites at the same time!
In this way, although some economic benefits may be lost, the influence of the album can be spread to the greatest extent and heard by more people.
Compared with making money, Zhao Zhenghao pays more attention to how to expand his scope of influence and enhance his influence, so as to attract more fans!
