Chapter 205: I Am the Moon
"The studio is renovated, Fuyuko, should you make an album? With "The Story of Time", "Travel", and "Those Flowers" as the foundation, I am looking forward to your album!"
On the way to the recording studio, Qi Chu sat in the passenger cab and suggested. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He did not refuse the invitation to visit the recording studio, not that he did not trust Liang Dong, but to eliminate the concerns in Liang Dong's heart.
The recording studio spent around a million from modification to equipment. This amount of money is not a lot of money for the two of them, but it is not a small amount of money, and with the friendship between the two, it has not yet reached the level of giving away a million casually.
Qi Chu is willing to take over the decoration of the recording studio, the fundamental reason is that he wants to invite Liang Dong to participate in the concert and be a guest singer to add an attraction to the concert.
Liang Dong is worth a lot of money, and his normal commercial performances are about one million. It seems that the two of them are a fair deal, but in fact, Qi Chu took a big advantage.
Liang Dong is different from ordinary stars, he has no endorsements, nor does he accept commercial performances, except for "I Am a Singer", there are no programs. Although this practice makes many people think that he is pretending to be forced, it has also caused a situation where strange goods can be lived.
Countless merchants, brand leaders waved checks and wanted to sign a contract with him, and countless fans wanted to get in touch with him up close. Liang Dong is willing to participate in Qi Chu's concert, and the value will be temporarily transferred to the concert.
There is no doubt that Qi Chu's concert, in addition to his own fans, will also be sought after by Liang Dong's fans. With the popularity of fans on both sides, it is impossible for the concert not to make money.
Qi Chu knew that he had used Liang Dong's peripheral value.
In addition to the surrounding value, Liang Dong's own identity is different, and with his tiger skin, Qi Chu can save a lot of effort. The time and effort saved can be turned into real benefits.
A recording studio can be exchanged for Liang Dong's acquiescence, and Qi Chu definitely takes a big advantage.
Of course, the two of them know who takes advantage, but they will not take the initiative to say it. Everything is based on interests, and friendship is difficult to maintain. Similarly, the relationship between the two is not to the extent that they can give away one or two million casually, and after the recording studio is renovated, Qi Chu will definitely go over to take a look.
If he didn't understand it, Liang Dong would inevitably have concerns in his heart. Is the decoration of the recording studio unqualified, is the quality of the equipment average? Even, did Qi Chu do some things in the decoration, people are complex animals, even if they are not careful, they will always look at everything with the mentality of doubting everything.
Doing bad things with good intentions does not mean that you want to do bad things from the beginning, but having a good starting point, but the results obtained are unacceptable.
Both of them are human spirits, they know what they should do, and they will not let the two of them have a dislike.
Hearing Qi Chu's suggestion, Liang Dong thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: "There shouldn't be an album in the near future, the gains outweigh the losses!"
Liang Dong said vaguely, but Qi Chu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, now is not the past, the Internet was underdeveloped in the past, tapes and records are the only carriers of music, and the audience must buy albums if they want to listen to music." The world has changed, and there are more and more carriers that can carry music, such as mobile phones, computers, smart watches, etc., and you can listen to music at any time. All the public has to do is go to the website to download it, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy it in a music store. ”
More than a decade ago, if someone liked a song and wanted to treasure it, the only way was to buy an album. Ten years ago, MP3 came out, and if you like a song, you can download it to PM3 and listen to it at any time. Nowadays, the Internet has become popular, not to mention listening to songs, MVs can be watched at any time.
The development of equipment forces music to follow the development, and if it does not develop, there is only a dead end.
It's a very simple truth, from production to the release of an album, it takes hundreds of thousands for ordinary albums and nearly one million for high-quality albums. If you invite some big names to shoot the MV, the cost will be millions.
The cost of millions of tickets needs to be sold to barely save the capital.
Hundreds of thousands of copies were nothing more than a decade ago, but now? 100,000 copies are already platinum albums, and hundreds of thousands of copies are astronomical at all. Except for a few top singers, more than 100,000 sales are just luxury.
But what about on the Internet? The highest cost of a record is only tens of thousands of yuan, and a little saving can create an electronic album for thousands of dollars.
The difference between a few thousand dollars and a few million dollars is obvious, and the Internet is forcing music to be electronic and reduce intermediate links.
The trend of music networking is becoming more and more obvious, and no one can resist it, and no one can say whether the result is good or bad.
Liang Dong will make albums, and when his fame is removed from the show bonus and calm is restored, he will give the album as a gift to the audience, but not to make money with the album. Compared to music websites, the possibility of monetizing albums is almost impossible.
"No way, the times are developing, we have to follow the development, people who can't keep up with the times are destined to be eliminated!" Liang Dong didn't have much feeling about the networking of music, and even looked forward to it.
He has so much earth classics in his head that he has the opportunity to come up with more music only after it is networked. If it was the situation more than ten years ago, even if he released an album a year, he would not be able to show all the classic music of the earth.
When I heard this, I suddenly felt so sad. Compared with you young people, I really can't keep up with the development of the times!" Qi Chu sighed.
Liang Dong glanced at Qi Chu and said calmly: "Little brother, you are really joking, you have left your own monument in the music industry, no matter how the times develop, you are still the brightest star in the music industry!"
Couldn't Qi Chu keep up with the development of the times? Not necessarily, but he didn't need to continue to develop.
Qi Chu is nearly sixty years old, and he has long passed his peak, whether it is physical strength, singing level, popularity, with the passage of time, all of them have slowly precipitated. He doesn't need to pursue anything, and when he stands on the stage again, his applause will ring.
All he has to do now is sing, and his singing is a memory, a past.
No matter how the times develop, there are always things that become more mellow with the passage of time, and this is true of antiques, and even more so of music. Because they are not just showing the music itself, but the memories that flow in the music.
"I can't be the brightest starlight, you can, I'm sure you can!" Qi Chu said seriously, he had no chance to take the last step, he may be a starlight, but he is only one of the stars, and he can never become a moon hanging in the sky.
Although the starlight is beautiful, when the moon appears, everyone's eyes will be attracted by the moonlight, and only the moon is the only one.
"To be the moon?"
Liang Dong muttered, little brother, you may not know that the moment I appeared in this world, I was the moon.
