Chapter 31: Digital album released
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ou, you are right, the truth is set by one, I feel that I can speak better than my father! If it weren't for a classmate, I really doubt that there was an old man living in your body. Jing Zhiwen muttered as he drove. And Ou Ge in the passenger seat, as if he hadn't heard, looked at the street scene outside the window.
The next day, the two went to the headquarters of QQ Music to discuss related cooperation matters. After multi-party communication, Ougo decided to settle in NetEase Cloud Music. Because the conditions they give are more favorable and their intention to cooperate is stronger.
After negotiating the relevant licensing issues, the next thing is to publish a digital album. NetEase Cloud hired a special music producer for Ougo, not only to make a mix for Ougo's songs, but also to find a mastering engineer to do the finishing touches for the mix.
If we say that the mixing is based on the score, it needs to be matched, and it needs to be colored. The master tape is to encapsulate the finished painting and make the final details to adapt to different exhibition environments. For example, high-frequency audio and subwoofer audio, due to the difference in audio, the sound effect will be different. The work content of the mastering engineer should take into account different environments and find a relative balance.
The recording of the song went quite smoothly, and in about two weeks, Ogo's original master was released! During this period, Netease Cloud Music also invited a professional photographer to shoot the album cover for Ougo. These fees are all paid in advance by NetEase Cloud Music, and will eventually be deducted from the settlement of both parties. The release date of the digital album was scheduled for the early morning of October 24, 2017, according to the contract, before the release of the digital album, NetEase Cloud Music had been published on the rolling cover of the app software a week in advance.
On Monday afternoon, Ou Ge's mobile phone rang when he returned to the dormitory, "Hey, hello Mr. Ou Ge, I am Wang Guoran, who contacted you before, have you logged in to our app recently?" The digital album you have cooperated with NetEase Cloud will be released on the app at 24 o'clock BJ time today. At that time, the system will send an email to your email about the relevant sales status. You can also log in to the Artist Backend to check the exact number of releases. ”
"Oh, okay, thanks!" Ou Ge politely hung up the phone, and Jing Zhiwen on the side had already noticed it. I saw him squeeze his eyebrows and look at Ou Ge for a long time, and then asked in a squeaky voice, "Ou Ge, it seems that the digital album you collaborated with NetEase Cloud will be released in the early hours of this morning, right?" Tight or not nervous, stabbing not exciting, not expectant? Do you want me to gather my brothers and sisters and stay up all night for you tonight to keep an eye on the album's sales? ”
"It's okay to be nervous, but I don't feel excited, so if you look forward to it, it's more or less...... But I don't think you should stir up the crowd, why stay up all night? Anyway, if it sells well or not, it's not up to us to decide, so let it be! Ogo threw his phone on the bed, it was 4:58 p.m., and there were seven hours left before the digital album was about to go on sale. This can be said to be an important step for him to enter the public eye, he does not have a record company to package, and there is no network in the entertainment industry to build momentum for him. Some of them are just those classmates and teachers around him, providing him with support and help.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Jing Zhiwen went to a nearby hotel to open a luxury suite, and then summoned Ou Ge, Mo Yayan, Bai Yili, Wang Chenhai, Wang Xiaohai and others to the suite.
"Well, everyone has been asking what I've been doing with Ogo for the past three weeks, and why I haven't seen anyone. Now I want to confess to you truthfully, in fact, for the past three weeks, Ougo has been following the Internet ......"
Before Jing Zhiwen's words were finished, the eccentric Bai Yili interrupted with a smile, "I'm cooperating with NetEase Cloud Music!" Yayan and I already knew! And this early morning is the release time of the album, and we were all preparing Amway to cheer on Ogo with friends around us! ”
"Huh? How did you and Mo Yayan know? Ou Ge and I didn't talk about this news everywhere! Jing Zhiwen, who is in a hurry, didn't realize the matter of app cover advertising at all.
Mo Yayan, who was standing on the side, glanced at Ou Ge intentionally or unintentionally, at the beginning, she and Ou Ge were classmates in military training together, and their identity relationship was not far away. And now, in less than three months, Ou Gedu has released a solo album on the music platform as an independent musician. In contrast, when I was still in the learning stage, I only felt that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther away, as if I had become two worlds.
The students congratulated Ou Ge in advance, the album was a big hit, and when you become a star, don't forget to come back and pick your brothers and sisters.
Compared with the warm congratulations of her classmates, Mo Yayan pursed her lips and stood aside, not knowing what to say to Ou Ge. At this time, Bai Yili quietly leaned over to her, then held Mo Yayan's shoulders with both hands, and said loudly to Ou Ge with a smile, "Hey, Ou Da is busy!" We Yayan have something to say to you! ”
After Bai Yili finished speaking, she winked at Mo Yayan, meaning that if there are some things to say, you must be brave enough to say them, so as not to regret it alone when you have it, and it is not good to regret it for life.
The boys and girls, including Jing Zhiwen and Wang Chenhai, all stopped laughing and looked back to hear what Mo Yayan wanted to say to Ou Ge. Ou Ge, who was surrounded by a bunch of people, also cast a curious look at Mo Yayan, which made Mo Da Beauty, who was originally a little shy to speak, even more shy and didn't know what to say.
"Ou... Go, that... Congratulations ......"
"Oh, thank you, Yayan."
The two had a simple two-sentence conversation, which did not cause any waves. Bai Yili, who is a best friend, hugged Mo Yayan comfortingly. A girl's heart is only understood between girls. Since you can't say anything, you should just keep it in your heart and never say it again...
A group of dead friends gaged in the suite until 24 o'clock in the morning, at this time, Wang Chenhai, who had been holding his mobile phone to refresh in the app, suddenly screamed excitedly!
"Wow! Refreshed, refreshed! Hurry up! It's ready to buy! As soon as Ougo's digital album was launched, he was caught by Wang Chenhai, who was holding his mobile phone.
The album cover is biased towards the sunny and fresh light blue and light cyan, Ou Ge is wearing a white shirt, black trousers, holding a guitar and barefoot on the beach, with a sunny and handsome smile, which leaves a great impression on people. The five songs released on the album, "Nanshan Nan"
