Chapter 131: Thirty and Standing
With such a cooperation, Gu Ru and Yan Xin chatted more on QQ.
Gu Ru sighed to Yan Xin that in the past few months, she has received some works, but the quality is indescribable.
There are no musical problems, it is stable, showing the quality that a professional should have.
But the lyrics are ordinary, the melody is ordinary, and I can't see anything that can move people's hearts.
She also said to Yan Xin half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If every song I receive has the quality of your song "Where Has Time Gone", I don't think I would have to quit this circle, and I could prepare to be a singer to perform on TV to make money." ”
Nowadays, it's basically a loss of money to release records, even for those well-known singers.
The one who makes money is to take on commercial performances, and he will soon be able to earn back the money he lost.
If there are more than a dozen songs on an album, and each song has the quality of "Where Has Time Gone", it is really possible to become popular, and she is confident that she will invest more money in it to promote herself.
Just relying on a song, it's so hard.
Yan Xin can copy out ten songs to give her a highly sung album.
However, I couldn't find a single explanation for how I wrote these works.
A nineteen-year-old boy has no academic qualifications and no experience, which is his biggest shortcoming.
A few days later, when Yan Xin was on the night shift, Gu Ru came to him again and signed the copyright use agreement with him - any income from this song in the future will be split in half.
On the day the agreement was signed, Gu Ru also sang this song in front of Yan Xin.
Although it is only a cappella, the professional is different, I don't know how many times better than Yan Xin's own singing.
And she really sang her feelings in this song.
It's an emotion that most people can experience, and it's not hard to invest in one of them.
Yan Xin feels that such a singing voice, with such a song, should be able to become popular on the Internet.
She told Yan Xin that the arrangement of the song was almost complete, and within a week, she could record the song and put it on the Internet.
Moreover, she also said that in a few days, she would sing this song when she sang in the bar, also to promote the song and test the reaction.
Originally, she was now semi-retired, and would only go to the bar to sing every day or two, on the one hand, to earn some pocket money, and on the other hand, to pass the boring time.
But in order to promote this song and let more people hear it, she decided that in another week, she would continue to rush to various bars every day, and strive to sing this song in every venue every day, to see if she could create a wave of popularity in a small area.
Putting your own songs on an online platform does not mean that everyone on this platform can listen to them.
The vast majority of online songs are uploaded to the Internet, and the number of hits is only so few, and it will not set off any waves.
If you want more people to hear it, you have to have a lot of popularity and be able to reach a certain number of clicks before you can make recommendations on the platform.
In later generations, it is basically the operation of capital.
It's still in the early days of the Internet era, and individuals can still do it.
Gu Ru is not not famous at all, at least in some bars in Yangcheng, she still has a little fame, she is also very beautiful, her singing strength is also good, and there is a group of people who like her in a small area.
She didn't have much popularity, but it wasn't too difficult for her to promote her song in every bar every day for a month, mention the platform where the song was located, and get tens of thousands of hits.
The starting point is a little higher than a full small transparent.
If you can mobilize friends in your circle to recommend it, the popularity will be higher.
This song can be pushed in front of more people.
As for whether this song will become popular, it is not up to her to decide, it depends on the vitality of the song itself.
What she can do is to bring this song to the online track.
- Just posting a song on an online platform and getting so many dozens of hits, it is not called being on the track, it has to have a certain amount of popularity.
Part of the reason why she did this was to fulfill Yan Xin's dream and let more people hear the song he created.
But a bigger part of the reason is that the heart that loves singing, or the heart that wants to be a singer, has not completely died.
signed the copyright agreement for this song, and she also invited Yan Xin to have a meal, during which she talked about her struggle in this industry over the years, talked about how many record companies she had found and how many times she had touched the wall, and finally said with emotion:
"I've been working hard in this circle for almost ten years, and in the eyes of some people, I seem to have some achievements, at least I can support myself by singing and live a good life."
"But that's not what I want at all."
"Today I sing in front of them, they may like me, tomorrow I don't sing in front of them, they will forget about me. There are too many people like me, and without my own work, it is impossible to leave much impression in their hearts. ”
"I broke with my family, came out to study at the conservatory, gave up a privileged life, and worked hard to earn money to support myself, I was to realize my dream, not for the tens of thousands of dollars a month's hard-earned money."
"It's just for the money in this rush, then I don't have to work so hard at all, just admit my mistake in front of my parents and help them take care of their business."
"But in the past few years, I have been getting farther and farther away from my dream, and I suddenly lost the motivation to persevere, and then I found that what my parents said may be right, and I can't go down this road."
"Last year, I promised my mother that when I was thirty years old, before I became famous, I would give up this thing, go home, honestly admit my mistakes, listen to their arrangements, find the right person, get married and have children."
"This year, I'll be thirty years old."
"It's said that thirty years old, thirty years old, I can't be so childish, I want to grow up, I have to learn to face reality, I have to learn to accept my failures."
She looked at Yan Xin and said:
"Actually, when I promised my mom, I was ready to give up. I talked to you a few days ago, and I was touched by your persistence in your dreams, and I wanted to try again. ”
"Of course, the main thing is that this song of yours gives me a certain amount of confidence."
"I'm willing to be able to leave this one work."
"I know you want this song to be a success, and so do I."
At that meal, Gu Ru ordered a bottle of red wine, drank the wine, talked at the same time, and told Yan Xin a lot of stories about himself.
That day, she was a little drunk, and even cried when chatting with Yan Xin.
