Chapter Ninety-Four: Ma Ma, there is an erhu who has become a refinement
In the next few days, on the Internet, the topic and popularity of the wanton band did not show the slightest trend of decreasing, but various indices soared, firmly occupying the top position on the hot search list of major social platforms.
As of the beginning of August, the number of followers of the Soqu Guild was 1.31 million, the number of fans of Oxygen Cloud Music was 1.02 million, and the full version of the video "Exaggerated" on the Bikabika barrage website was collected by hundreds of 30,000 people, with 8.4 million views, and it was named the treasure of the music district.
Despite all the discussions on the Internet, Shen Yiran did not focus on this, and even the musician accounts registered on major music platforms have always been operated by Xu Lingyi.
However, it is worth mentioning that because the band was in a hurry to disband, the song "Exaggeration" did not go to the studio for recording, so the paid version of the song uploaded by Xu Lingyi to major music platforms is a little different from the original version.
To put it simply, the paid version of "Exaggeration" was played by Xu Lingyi with the erhu.
I still remember that when the band was first formed, Xu Lingyi was worried that she might not be able to integrate with others as a person who learns traditional musical instruments, but it turns out that her worries are completely unnecessary, because the traditional instruments of the Han Kingdom have a lot of untapped potential.
For example, this erhu version of "Exaggeration", although it is only a single-part music work, can bring people a completely different listening enjoyment.
Perhaps once when it came to the erhu, many people would classify it as a musical instrument for begging for food and performing for a living.
But in fact, among the Han folk musical instruments, the erhu is a very charming stringed instrument, which can not only show deep and poignant content, but also depict a majestic artistic conception, it can make people cry silently, but also invigorate, and easily bring people into the musical scene.
The price of this erhu version of "Exaggeration" is one yuan, and when uploading the work, Xu Lingyi deliberately put the word 'erhu' after the title of the work.
To be honest, she was still a little apprehensive at first, after all, Western instruments are now the mainstream of the world music scene, and few people will appreciate the performance of folk music, but with Shen Yiran's encouragement, she still passed on the work.
The biggest advantage of the band's popularity is that they don't have to worry about the work being unknown and uncared for.
The erhu version of "Exaggeration" has just been successfully uploaded, and within a few seconds, Xu Lingyi has received thousands of purchase prompts from major music platforms.
She paid special attention to it, among which the two software of Oxygen Cloud Music and Starting Point Music had the largest number of purchases.
Xu Lingyi did not feel any surprise that Oxygen Cloud Music could have so many paying listeners, after all, the number of users on the platform has exceeded 300 million this year.
But she was surprised that so many people could buy the starting point music.
As early as last month, when the income of major platforms was counted, Xu Lingyi was already frightened by the income of Starting Point Music.
At that time, she also deliberately downloaded this music software to do research, and after using it for a period of time, she found that compared to other tool-based music software, the platform is more social.
Features such as what starting point playlist, music barrage, gene radio, daily topics, singer talk, and live make this software more like a communication community for young people's pop culture when used.
What's more interesting is that Starting Point Music provides a large number of charts for independent musicians, including the Original Billboard, Singles Soaring Chart, Album Bestseller Chart, New Song Recommendation Chart, Artist Monthly Pass Chart, Fan Tip List and Local Tyrant Red Envelope List.
Even the categories of each music genre will have separate charts.
These charts are refreshed every month, giving independent artists more exposure to their work, and the site has introduced a series of incentives for the top artists.
For those well-known singers, these rewards may not be taken seriously, but for more independent musicians, this reward is definitely a lot of money.
Take the Wanton Band as an example, the number of plays on other platforms is hundreds or thousands of times higher than that of the starting music, but the final income is not as much as this one platform.
But to be honest, the bands are lucky, because the copyrights of several songs they sing are under the banner of Youguang Yiran Culture Media Co., Ltd., which is registered by Shen Yiran.
And some independent musicians who entrust their copyrights to third-party agencies have even had "zero income" in this area for several years.
Although Xu Lingyi's understanding of starting music is still only at the most basic level, and she doesn't know much about the business model and development direction, she firmly remembers her boyfriend's evaluation of this platform.
"Starting Point Music will become the cradle of independent musicians in Han China, and will also provide new trends and directions for the development of digital music!"
A music software can be so praised by her boyfriend, Xu Lingyi, who is responsible for the operation of the band's account, has put more energy on this platform, and Xu Lingyi has also made some selective answers to the questions raised by fans after paying for the function of 'Singer Says'.
"Lingyi, I just said don't worry, you look at the erhu version of "Exaggeration", the praise rate is much higher than our other songs. ”
Shen Yiran's voice came from the sofa on the side, and when she heard this, Xu Lingyi turned around and habitually gave her boyfriend a pair of white eyes who was listening to the song with headphones on.
You must know that the previous two songs of the Wanton Band have been retaliated by netizens and fans for so long for bad reviews, although the comment area was apologized again after the broadcast of "Exaggeration", but the bad reviews that have been given cannot be modified for too long, which also leads to the fact that although the praise rate of the previous two songs has rebounded, it is still not very high, and it can even be said to be lower than the average level.
However, when Shen Yiran said this, Xu Lingyi's heart that had been hanging was also relaxed, and they didn't even care about the previous bad evaluation, and now that the band has disbanded, what is there to worry about?
Thinking of this, Xu Lingyi clicked on the comment area of this song, and looked at the comments idlely, she also wanted to know what the current audience has to say about the performance of traditional musical instruments:
"Ma Ma, there's an erhu here!"
"Isn't it just a knee, my whole leg is yours!"
"I'm going to find the door to a new world!"
"I can't imagine the picture of the wanton band pulling the erhu and singing "Exaggeration". ”
"Ever since I got to know the band, my taste in music has become more and more strange..."
"This erhu is too pompous!"
"Thinking about it, I think this song is simply tailor-made for erhu!"
"If you think the erhu singing is better than the wanton band, please like it!"
“......”
Looking at these exaggerated comments, Xu Lingyi covered her mouth and laughed quietly, turned her head, and glanced at Shen Yiran, who was sitting on the sofa wearing headphones and playing with her mobile phone, her eyes seemed to be a little more grateful in addition to admiration.
The erhu version of "Exaggerated" can be recognized by the public, which is a very gratifying thing for her who learns traditional musical instruments.
