Chinese 2006 starts with the Beijing Film Academy Art Examination

the next day

"Lingyue, Lingyue, wake up."

Yu Li anxiously pushed Yang Lingyue, who was still sleeping soundly.

Yang Lingyue didn't even open his eyes. He stretched out his hand and Yu Li, who was standing by the bed, fell into his arms.

Yu Li said dotingly: "Okay, here comes the home appliance installer."

Yang Lingyue asked in a daze: "What time is it?"

"Nine-thirty."

"I only slept for 6 hours." Yang Lingyue frowned and sat up.

"Get dressed."

Yu Li put on Yang Lingyue's big pants as if coaxing a child, and then quickly collected the many pieces of cloth and toilet paper on the ground.

She tied her hair up casually and went to open the door.

The workers who installed the washing machine came.

The workers are very professional. They say hello and put on shoe covers when they come in.

Yang Lingyue came out to say hello: "Masters, don't wear shoe covers. It will be bad if you slip."

After that, the old ones were given to the master workers and allowed to be sold as second-hand or scrap metal.

Yu Li was still a little reluctant to give up.

Yang Lingyue was very happy, because the ringtone of the worker's cell phone just now reminded him of a way to make money. This era is the most profitable era for musicians.

Because of the ringtone.

Especially in 2006, it can be said to be the year of the explosion of pop music in the mainland. This year, it seems that a song suddenly becomes popular every week, and the singers are unheard of. They are not even professional singers, and they come from any profession.

After seeing off the workers, Yang Lingyue excitedly pulled Yu Li to the sofa, but Yu Li was very resistant.

"Lingyue, no, not so often."

"Pa"

Yang Lingyue's face froze: "What good things are you thinking about? I want to ask you something, do you want to become a singer?"

Yu Li was obviously confused by Yang Lingyue's question. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh? No, I study music education. What kind of singer do I want to be?"

"Yeah, your voice isn't popular enough, and you have classmates with good voices who don't get along as well as you would like, male or female."

Yu Li was curious: "Although we haven't contacted each other for several years, we must be there. What are you going to do?"

"Baby, make money, ring bells. Come here."

Yang Lingyue excitedly held Yu Li's face and gave it a smack, then pulled her hand to the computer.

Yu Li was pulled down in front of the computer by the hand, and the brain child was still thinking about Yang Lingyue's words, "Baby."

This was the first time she saw Yang Lingyue so excited, which was the excitement she should have at this age.

"Look, the number one download has more than 10 million, and the unit price is two yuan. That's 20 million, and it's just a website."

Yang Lingyue opened a website for downloading ring tones. The first place was "Above the Moon", and "Thousands of Miles Away" by Jay Chou and Fei Zuwang came second, with a difference of more than 3 million downloads.

Seeing that Yu Li was still in a daze, Yang Lingyue frowned: "What are you thinking about?"

Yu Li came back to her senses, with big eyes and doubts: "What did you say?"

Yang Lingyue took a deep breath, then repeated it again and continued:

"I can write songs like this, but I can't be a singer. I don't have the conditions and the time. If we just sell songs, a few thousand yuan per song will cost the sky. But if we can cultivate a group of singers, If you find a ready-made promoter to cooperate, it won’t cost you a few thousand yuan, but tens of millions.”

Yu Li was shocked, trying hard to digest the man's words, and stammered: "Then, what do you want me to do?"

"Tsk, your brain has made it so clear. Look." Yang Lingyue seemed to hate that iron cannot become steel. He took out a piece of paper, took a pen and started talking and writing:

“The first step is to set up a record company;

The second step is to find your classmate with a good voice. The image doesn’t matter, of course it shouldn’t be too ugly;

The third step is to publish the song on the Internet, provide music sources to pirates, and find a promotion company to pay for promotion;

The fourth step is to upload the ringtone and wait for payment.

Nowadays, China Mobile and other operators' ringback tones business is split 50-50, which means that the gross profit of a song is about one yuan. I have been thinking about it for the past few days and wrote a few songs suitable for dissemination. You go to find people with the songs. Normally Thirty-seven open. "(1)

“Aren’t you going to make a physical album?”

Yang Lingyue asked a series of questions: "Can it be sold? Are there channels? There are free music sources everywhere on the Internet. How many Jay Chou are there? We only make money from ringtones."

Yu Li was a little embarrassed and frowned and said, "I, I can't, I can't do it well."

Yang Lingyue said softly but firmly: "I can't do it either. Let's find someone who knows how to do it and give them a high salary. If we can't give them shares, just be responsible for one or two key aspects, such as finance or singers."

Yu Li thought about it for a while, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Huh? Find Zhang Yun, she is quite capable."

Yang Lingyue thought for a while and said: "You can do it as long as you think it's okay. Ability is second, and I am an executor. The most important thing is that I won't sell you."

"No, besides, the most important thing is what's in your head, your song." Yu Li was smart for a while.

Then he continued: "But can the songs you write really become popular? Your song "The Wind Rises" is so well written, but it didn't make any splash."

Yang Lingyue waved his hand: "Promotion is very important. Besides, there is no sound source, but I guess someone is already picking up the score and covering it. But this song suits your voice very well. You can record a version and try it out."

The marketing concept of later generations today is to reduce dimensionality and only have money. Yang Lingyue is not worried about this at all, whether it is current songs, movies, or others.

The song "The Wind Rises" is very popular in Beijing Film Academy, and more than one or two people asked Yang Lingyue to record a formal version.

"No, I just like to listen to you sing, although your singing is, uh, full of emotion. Haha." Yu Li laughed as she spoke.

Yang Lingyue said as a matter of course: "It's good that you are not out of tune. I haven't learned vocal music. Go get the guitar and sing it again."

"Okay."

But it won't work, because there are people who install electrical appliances.

Yang Lingyue didn't leave the study again. With Yu Li watching him, he began to compose (copy) the music and lyrics.

It's been a long time, and I can only hum to recall my memory. Sometimes I really can't remember it, so I have to make it up myself. As long as I hum it out, it's fine. The lyrics of these songs are casual, simple and straightforward. If they are too deep, they will not be popular.

The main thing is the melody.

If he thinks of a song title, he will search it on the Internet or copyright websites. Just don't make a fool of himself. He is not greedy for more. He is willing to come up with ten songs. He does not expect to be satisfied with a few million like "Above the Moon" with a ringtone income of hundreds of millions a year.

"Damn Tenderness"

"Wait a Minute"

"There is a Kind of Love Called Letting Go"

"Don't Say You Love Me When I'm Lonely"

"........."

(Dear readers, please add some songs for the maid, and also save some money for the protagonist to make a movie.)

Yang Lingyue wrote a few songs, and left "Damn Tenderness". Of course, I went to the English version, I really can't remember it.

Then he stuffed the others into the bookcase. Although Jay Chou has written 50 songs in 10 days, he is Jay Chou.

It can't be too shocking.
