Wu Sheng came up with an underground album, not a contract with a record label.

In his opinion, releasing his own private album is a simple and cost-effective thing, not to mention that the underground band culture of neon is extremely popular, and it may become popular.

What is Underground?

It's just not commercial, not signing with big record companies.

A lot of the old hardcore punk rock bands are like that.

Most of the underground music opposes commercial packaging, emphasizes the ideology of the work, and pursues the originality and individuality of the musical language.

But this is a real world after all, Wang Deer once said: "When rich people get together, they talk about art, and when artists get together, they talk about money." ”

Therefore, after a period of "underground" development, most excellent underground music will be bought by large companies and integrated into the mainstream.

So the idea that Wu Sheng came up with an underground record was very strange.

The few songs he wrote were obviously very orthodox pop music.

In Brooke's opinion, they recorded the demo and sent it to some big record labels, and their band really had a promising debut.

What are the benefits of releasing an underground album? It's troublesome, and it doesn't sell well, so why release an underground album?

These songs of yours are obviously mainstream royal music!

Brooke was a little puzzled when he heard Wu Sheng's underground album plan: "Wouldn't it be good for us to find a slightly professional recording studio to record a demo, send it to the record company, and debut directly as a band?" ”

"Huh? Why do you have to sign to a record label? Wu Sheng was stunned, he didn't want to be controlled by others: "Isn't freedom good?" ”

In his heart, he obviously wants to make money in the nature of playing tickets, but he doesn't want to lose his freedom and be controlled.

The matter of releasing underground records seems to the layman to be a particularly simple matter.

But in practice, it is actually much more troublesome than imagined.

Recording, printing, and intermediary fees, as well as the packaging of records, is it vinyl or disc? Is it a big disc or a small disc?

And you have to find a distribution when it is printed, and if the distribution is a little weak, then you will basically hit the streets, and then go bankrupt and the band disbanded.

Or sell your own goods when you go to music festivals.

Neon music festivals are indeed popular, and unlike the kind of small fights in China for a day or two, this is a performance for a few days and nights in the mountains or by the sea, and more than 200 groups of domestic and foreign musicians can participate each time, from hardcore rock to pop, from pop to folk, from folk to jazz, covering a variety of music genres.

Far from the mundane mountains, the people are completely immersed in the music, listening to songs during the day and holding bonfires in the evenings, which is really like holding a festival.

Music lovers come with tents to participate, and everyone can find their own happiness here.

But this kind of super-large music festival is not enough for the general underground band, and it must still be a little famous and a little level.

At their current level, they don't even have any experience in stage performances, and they probably can't count on it, so if they really want to make their own underground records, they can only participate in some small underground LIVE performances and slowly accumulate fame.

It's hard and tiring, it's half the effort, it's not worth it.

If they sign a record company, they can do everything from arrangement to recording, from packaging to distribution, from sales to fame, from live to concerts, from TV shows to music festivals.

That's really trouble-free! Professional things are left to professional people, and musicians only need to do their own music.

Brooke briefly talked to Wu Sheng about the situation, and extinguished his naïve illusions in time.

Brooke also thought about simply releasing an underground record by himself, after all, his own songs are indeed very ...... Alternative, not accepted by large companies.

But after learning about it yourself, countless real things came to you, and in addition to these, there are more important things, that is, underground records, but they all have to be paid for by themselves!

It's like a single, but only 2,000 copies were released, and there was no advertising fee from beginning to end, so it actually cost about 1.5 million yen!

Brooke is really just an ordinary middle-class family, and his family does not support his music dream, if he goes to work to earn money by himself, how long will it take?

As a result, Brooke's dream of high school music was shattered, and everyone in the original light music club went to college, entered the society, went into society, and disappeared from his life.

But they're different now!

These songs "written" by Wu Sheng are really good!

Even if his arranging skills are not as good as those of the super-professional gods, Brooke is confident that it will be a matter of minutes to sign a contract after sending it to the record company.

"Although it's very likely that the record label will let you debut alone, not with a band." Brooke explains: "But it's more convenient and free for you to sign with a record company than to make your own underground record. ”

Luffy was strange on the side: "We sent the album in the name of the band, why did we want Takeda to make his own debut?" ”

Ah, this kind of thing happens a lot, right?

Everyone in the activity room looked at each other, not knowing how to explain to Luffy.

"Uh-huh, anyway, if you really decide to make your debut and release a record, it's better to go to a record company." Brooke concludes that this is all from his experience after his nose and face are swollen in the past few years.

"I see, it's that I'm oversimplifying." Wu Sheng touched his nose: "Then let's think about this in the long run...... After all, Keya is really not suitable for showing her head, right? ”

He looked at Keya, the three of them were probably fine, but Keya was the eldest lady of the Kamishima family after all, and it was estimated that it would be very difficult to make her debut.

"Huh? Why is that? Luffy asked stupidly again, "Koya plays very well!" ”

"......" Wu Sheng didn't know how to explain this kind of obscure and complicated matter to him.

Keya smiled softly: "Wait until I go back and ask Auntie." ”

With the support of the Kamishima Group, their debut may become very simple.

After all, it is really two different things to have a backer and not to have a backer in the entertainment industry, you are here to promote it bitterly, what is the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, people are overwhelming top resources, from the head of the alley to the end of the alley, covering all directions!

How do you compare to others!

"Okay." Wu Sheng and Brooke nodded: "Then let's continue!" ”

Anyway, let's get the four songs done first, and then whether it's recording a demo and sending it to a big company, or releasing an underground record, you have to choose!

"Oh!"

......

After an afternoon of rehearsals, Wu Sheng went to GM Tokyo to work at 5 o'clock.

They have also heard about the campus festival, and Sanji seems to be Wusheng's number one fan brother, and as soon as he comes to the store every day, he begins to boast that the songs written by Wusheng are very explosive, as if there is no one before or after.

Now even Ohua feels that he wanted this Takeda kid to be a chef, maybe he was burying talents.

"You kid was born a genius in cultural creativity, right?"

Wu Sheng smiled and waved his hand to say no, took their ridicule, and invited instead: "Mr. Ogawa, you must come over to participate in our school's campus festival when you arrive!" Our show is in the morning, so we shouldn't be late until we open. ”

As we all know, campus festivals are open to the public, allowing students to organize their own activities and show the results of the club to the society.

"Okay!" When Chef Lunzi heard the invitation, he put down the ingredients in his hand and agreed with a gentle smile: "We haven't been to this kind of event for a long time, right?" ”

"yes." Kyono also leaned over: "After all, it's really too busy to open a store." ”

Tail Flower is very arrogant: "It depends on the situation, I'll go when I have time, the things at the campus festival are too unpalatable." ”

"Not to mention that I told you to eat, I went to see a show!" Chef Lunzi slapped him.

"Okay, okay......" Tail Flower shrank her head and hurriedly responded: "When the time comes, let's see if there is such a god as Shanzhi boasting!" I was ......"

Ohana began to tell the story of her high school student campus festival with her class to open a store, which became popular among thousands of girls.

Everyone was chatting about the campus festival when they were students, and they were also very away from campus life, and they also had a trace of expectation for the campus festival of this era for a while.

Wu Sheng looked at everyone with some reluctance, tomorrow is the last day.

Now when he really wants to leave, he is a little reluctant.

He took a deep breath and silently encouraged himself in his heart: "It is because he is reluctant to this group of people that he has to become stronger and conquer Linda's palace as soon as possible, so that he can protect this store in the crazy desire for destruction of gluttonies." ”

Another busy night, Takekatsu and Sanji say goodbye in the subway.

When I got home, it was 10:30 p.m. again.

After taking a shower, I sat on the sofa at home refreshed, picked up the sample of next week's boy JUNK and looked at it, only to remember that I would continue to search the temple with Nami with the magic mirror today.

So I sent a message to Nami to let her up.

After a while, Nami came up in slippers and civilian clothes, walked into Wu Sheng's house, yawned and complained: "If you come up like this every day from now on, Nuo Qigao will be suspicious!" ”

When she received a text message saying that she was going to visit Takeda's house, her sister smiled very strangely, as if to say, "You also said that you and Takeda don't have the same leg" and "My sister supports you!" "Something like that.

made her very uncomfortable, and the cranky thoughts of "why are women full of love" swirling in her mind went up to Wu Sheng's house.

"Suspect what?" Wu Sheng walked to the refrigerator and didn't react for a while: "What do you drink?" Oolong? ”

Nami froze for a moment and looked at Wu Sheng with empty eyes: "It's nothing. ”

Is this guy really the kind of incomprehensible straight man of steel he said?

"I want sugar-free oolong tea."

"Okay." Wu Sheng took out a bottle of oolong tea and threw it to Nami: "Next." ”

Of course, he is not a straight man of steel, but he is too familiar with Nami, and she is a hot-blooded character in her previous life, from elementary school to graduation, to work, for 20 years, there is no love in this comic, it is all dreams and friendship.

20 years of stereotypes were brought over and carried over to this Nami, even if she was just an "ordinary" female high school student now, Takekatsu didn't have the slightest idea of that.

He sat down next to Nami and turned on the TV, "Do you want to play a few games first?" Didn't you say last time that you wanted to play the Legend of the Three Kingdoms Mowing Warriors? When I first came up, I saw a discount when I passed by the game store and bought a bunch of games again. ”

Nami found a paper bag on the table and opened it, "You buy so many games?" You haven't played much with what you bought before, have you? ”

"Haha......" Wu Sheng took a sip of his drink: "What is this?" ”

In my last life, the game I bought on that fat man's platform was called a real lot.

Didn't play a single one! It's not like buying all the time!
