There is a bar street in Houhai, Beijing, where domestic music players often go to the place, party, drink, find inspiration, and sometimes have the opportunity to communicate with foreign musicians, but these are not important, the important thing is that there are many single beauties in the bar, part-time female college students, lonely young women, petty bourgeois female white-collar workers who want to find excitement, etc., a glass of wine, a dance, an intimate literary and artistic whisper, maybe it can lead to a tacit affair / encounter and a night / love.

White Rabbit Bar is the most famous one of the Houhai bars, there are the top DJ Yang Bing in China, the most trendy music, the most foreigners here, and there are more Chinese beauties who want to earn foreign currency.

I have to say that Yang Bing, the owner and chief DJ of the White Rabbit Club, is still quite discerning, and brings some Japanese, Korean, European and American musicians here every once in a while, so that the modern pop music circle in Beijing basically loves to party here.

It was only 7 p.m., and the bar was not yet at its peak, and the waiter carried a full tray to a large booth in the middle of the field, where three artist-like men sat with flowing hairstyles and casual clothes.

One person turned on a Budweiser and listened to the music while staring at the waitresses who came and went and the female guests who gathered together, chatting one after another.

"Hey, have you heard of Hatsune Miku: The Singer Project?"

"I've seen this software from Lao Wang, but computer software can't replace the human voice, if it can really be replaced. What do we musicians eat and drink? Any cat or dog can make zuò songs! ”

"It's like, if only music creation was so simple. Why do we need to study music in college? Let's graduate and do creative work and write songs for others. Forming a band, running underground, recording samples, carrying bags for seniors, and queuing up for seniors are fortunate enough to wait for the record company to arrive, and we know how hard it is during the period. Just a game-friendly layman still wants to play music? Come on, I'm going to see them make games, get so many tricks, and really want to dominate the music industry? What he thought was too beautiful! ”

"Yes. Blindly reach out across industries to get food, the food looks too ugly, let them cry when the time comes! ”

The three of them have the same opinion, and they are not optimistic about Longteng's series of measures, especially dissatisfied with the software of "Hatsune Miku: Singer Project", they are a well-known middle-status singer, second-line, tepid, and usually running a few fixed fields. In his spare time, he received a few commercial performances, and he was still well-known in the circle, but there was still a gap between him and the first-line singers.

"Hatsune Miku: The Singer Project" has a very big impact on them, and they are stronger than the singers at the bottom. It's much stronger than the grassroots, but letting them use software doesn't show their advantage in experience. Second, they think that the little profit that the software brings to them is not worth their investment at all.

"I, Zhang Wei, can sell 10,000 copies of a record again, and the royalties will be tens of thousands. And releasing a record can also bring sales of peripheral products, and it can also bring me fame. Increase commercial performance opportunities, and will continue to bring in income in the next few years, besides, who of us only sells 10,000 records? Isn't that a shame? ”

"That's it! How do they charge for online downloads? I heard that if it's 5 cents or 1 yuan to download once, how many people in China play games? 5,000 or 10,000? is calculated according to 1 yuan, and the number of people is also up to 10,000, that is, 10,000 yuan, and their game publisher wants to divide it, right? How much? Sixty percent! Let's remove the tax again, and only keep more than 2,000 yuan in our hands! My title song is only 2000 yuan? Send it to Hanako! Maybe it's not to mention the sales of my records, so let's run a show! ”

"Leizi, you're right, this is still calculated according to the highest, so many people really pay to buy it? I don't believe it either! ”

These words said by the three can almost represent the thoughts of the vast majority of professional musicians in China, the people who are willing to pay to listen to songs are a minority, the Chinese are poor, the legal awareness is weak, Long Teng is likely to do this The ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, and in the end it must be empty.

As he spoke, a few people walked in from the door of the store, and the musician named Lei Zi was sharp-eyed, stood up and waved over there: "Yang Bing, here!" ”

The person who came was Yang Bing, the owner of the White Rabbit Bar, and he also brought a person, who looked a little strange, Yang Bing came over to introduce to everyone: "Zhu Li, these are the three predecessors of the music industry in Beijing, the famous Qingcao Band lead singer Zhang Wei, the famous independent music producer Xiao Lei, and the famous singer Mao Yu, say hello to everyone!" ”

The young man named Zhu Li hurriedly shook hands with his seniors, bowed, and Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Boss Yang is praising us, where are we famous singers and famous musicians!" I don't know where the Zhu Li brothers are? Are you also a member of our circle? ”

If you are a person in the music industry, the next step must be to ask about your background, ask about your teacher, on qualifications, and seniority, this circle is not big, but this rule is a bad habit in the eyes of many people.

Zhu Li said respectfully: "The younger brother used to work as a reporter at the Jiangcheng Qintai Grand Theater, and he only debuted this year, and now he is ready to learn electronic music appreciation with Master Yang Bing." ”

Everyone looked at each other, Yang Bing didn't explain, smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, and then turned around by himself, bringing four beautiful girls from Yingying Yanyan over, just one by one, and the four men didn't care about their origins and qualifications, they all stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Yang Bing is the owner of the bar, and he is very familiar with these guests, and introduced: "These four beauties are urban white-collar beauties who work in Xintiandi nearby, and they are also frequent customers of our White Rabbit Bar, don't think crookedly, they have begged me to introduce real musicians for a long time, and you just happened to get acquainted with each other today!" ”

The four white-collar beauties look different from those special ladies with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, although they are very sexy and trendy, but they are not abrupt and charming, plus their temperament and conversation, they are really beautiful.

Zhang Wei and their hearts had already blossomed, and as soon as they thought about picking up Niuyan/Yu, a few high-quality prey came, and they hurriedly introduced themselves, and then hurriedly picked their favorite type and pulled them over to sit down with them.

Yang Bing called the waiter again: "Today's table is mine, it should be for Zhu Li to pick up the wind and wash the dust, everyone have fun!" ”

"Thank you, Boss Yang~"

"Brother Yang, you're too polite, haha!"

"Brother Yang, go get busy, we will definitely take good care of Brother Zhu Li, and we will definitely make the four beauties satisfied!"

When Yang Bing left, the young people began to make trouble, and Zhang Wei and the others introduced each other and adjusted the position of their female companions while bringing wine to the beauties.

Now the situation on the field is quite interesting, according to the fame, Zhang Wei of the Green Grass Band should be the most famous, after all, he is a public figure, and has released two records, and the band often appears in some small concerts and performances, so he is the most popular of the four, accompanied by the most beautiful Chunxiang, who knows if the Chunxiang girl is really called Chunxiang, come out to play, many girls are called nicknames, fun!

Then there is the singer Mao Yu, a third-tier little singer, whose fame is okay, and he is quite handsome.

Xiao Lei has been doing behind-the-scenes music production all year round, and his songs have been sung by others, Mao Yu has sung his songs, although he has strength, but no one knows it, but he is still a music system, the kind with a business card.

Only Zhu Li has no achievements, no fame, and he only debuted this year, what is the title song "Spark", and it's just this song, even Zhang Wei and they haven't heard of it after saying it, Dongxiang girl asked again, yes, I still worked in the theater last year, and it has nothing to do with musicians!

This time, Zhang Wei and the others despised Zhu Li a little, and the four beauties only cared about toasting the three of them, guessing boxing, and flirting/flirting with each other, nothing more than thinking about whether they had the opportunity to participate in any music festival, meet the scene, and write a song for themselves.

However, everyone still remembered Yang Bing's attention to Zhu Li, and after a round of fun, Qiu Xiang asked them about the income of musicians, and the question was not very direct, but asked very tactfully: "I heard that you can make a lot of money by writing a song, right?" ”

Zhang Wei seemed to be deliberately showing off himself, and said disapprerovingly: "Let's look at sales, the song is popular, the album sells well, hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars are very simple, my "Grasshopper in the Grass" record sold 80,000 copies, hundreds of thousands is really nothing!" The record is still a small head, we are famous, and we are receiving more and more commercial performances, really, millions are easy! ”

"Wow~ That's amazing!"

"80,000 records, isn't it possible to earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan for an average song? Wow, Brother Zhang is so strong! ”

"There are also commercial performances, isn't that an annual income of millions...... Brother Zhang, you are so amazing! A toast! ”

Several girls were like, and their eyes changed when they saw Zhang Wei, and they all came over to toast, and several people also coaxed Chunxiang and Zhang Wei to drink a glass of wine.

Xiao Lei and Mao Yu laughed secretly in their hearts, they knew very well, how many people are in a band? How much does a record company charge? How big are the usual expenses? is really assigned to Zhang Wei, and it is great that the grasshopper record can give him 20,000 yuan.

But they don't say it, isn't it just pickling girls, be happy, besides, they didn't brag, they did have a high income, but that's all the income!

The round-faced Dongxiang was too far away from Zhang Wei, and it was inconvenient to go over to join in the fun, so he simply asked Zhu Li: "Brother Zhu Li, at what price do your singles usually sell?" The single should be cheaper than the whole record, right? ”

Everyone was pouring wine in a hurry, and no one noticed the two of them, he smiled: "My song "Spark" only sold for 200,000 yuan, and the price is okay." ”

Although Zhu Li's voice was not loud, it still stunned these people! (To be continued......)
