Chapter 14 Ten Thousand Theme Song

Better than any previous rehearsal.

The song "Sun Wukong" was performed so heartily that the scene was blown away, and the effect completely exceeded expectations.

More exciting than any time on stage before.

When it ended, Jiang Ye's eardrums seemed to be still vibrating with the drumbeats and the cheers of the crowd.

He sang "Floating to the North" at his debut performance and participated in the song debut "Stubborn" of "New Force", but none of them were as strong as the feeling this music festival gave him.

I have constructed a picture countless times in my mind - being wild on stage and watching crazy people in the audience, like chasing some kind of belief.

An immersive experience where everyone is lost in music and enjoys the excitement even if the doomsday comes next second.

How cool.

This is a dream come true!

That night, the entire [Lime Music Festival] came to an end, and the organizer had a party.

While toasting and changing glasses, Jiang Ye debated a few words. He had looked at each other with cold eyes backstage in the afternoon, but now he was so enthusiastic that he even heard some people making sidelong remarks.

"[Dream5] This is a big explosion. Anyone who follows them will suffer."

"How could you pick up the scene of "The Monkey King"? It was such a crappy performance! I don't think any of the two finale bands were able to impress."

After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Ye hummed a tune beautifully after taking a shower, intending to have a comfortable sleep.

During the preparation period for the music festival, he was supposed to practice late every day, but he was not tired at all. Instead, he had so much energy that he seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

I thought that when the music festival was over, the excitement would pass.

Who would have thought!

Early the next morning, he looked like a lazy "Snake King" and woke up naturally at six or seven o'clock...

This terrible fact proves that other people's bodies are not borrowed for free.

Perfect abdominal muscles and waistcoat lines cannot be maintained by lying down.

The original owner's daily routine and living habits began to affect and change him more and more.

What's even more frightening is that after a few times, he actually found pleasure in such a practice that was against human nature, such as morning jogging, and enjoyed it very much.

Alas, Jiang Ye sighed and got out of bed.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, changed into some light sportswear, and went out neatly.

In the capital city of this time and space, the air quality is much better than in the previous life. Jiang Ye first went to a nearby park to warm up, and then jogged along the path.

Along the way, I watched the aunt hit the tree, the uncle played chess, some sang in operas, and occasionally practiced lung capacity with others.

I bought breakfast at eight or nine o'clock, then walked around and brought Yao Xiao's share back with me.

"I'm so flattered." Yao Xiao drank a spoonful of tofu puffs, narrowed his eyes and pinched his throat and said, "Recently, I feel that you know how to care for others more than before."

Jiang Ye broke off a fried dough stick, stuffed half of it into Yao Xiao's mouth, lowered his head and picked up his phone: "Look at the new song list."

"I haven't stopped going online since last night. I couldn't sleep because of it, hehe." Yao Xiao said happily.

On June 4, the official sound source of "The Monkey King" was released on time at midnight, and the wave of music fans who had been to the music festival were the first to occupy the comment area.

"Who said [dream5] is not a band anymore? The scene was really exciting, and the solo style was so good! It made my blood boil. I'm looking forward to the next stage!"

"I'm glad I bought a ticket. It's really fun to listen to it live! The music style is invincible, this is rock and roll!"

"You no longer have to wonder whether they are a band, whether they rock or not, you just need to feel what good music is with your heart, that's enough."

"The more I listen to the melody, the better it gets! The perspective of the lyrics is amazing, a little sad and lonely, but also inspirational and tender. I am very moved."

"Remember to look for me, my good friend. If you can't stand this, just break the defense."

"That solo is so good! It's another single that can be kept on the cycle for a long time."

"This song is the most vivid and joyful Journey to the West I have ever heard. It seems like all the characters I loved when I was a child are back."

Jiang Ye kept scrolling through the comments, and a smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

At this time, Lin Sen called and informed me of another good news - "Monkey King" has been confirmed to be selected as the theme song of the "Dream Westward Journey" game.

Tianyou Entertainment and [Morning Star Interactive Entertainment] have officially reached a cooperation and finalized the follow-up related publicity matters.

Song Mingxuan immediately released his personal Weibo updates and made them public in a high-profile manner.

——"The new game is online and has received a lot of feedback. I personally like the theme song "Monkey King" very much.

Although the disco was also involved, it started as a farce, but the results were good, and the cooperation with [dream5] was realized, and the comedy ended. So 10 million to express sincerity, this is the value of a good work.

No matter which circle you are in, you have to let your work and your strength speak for itself, don't just be jealous of others every day.

Now put your words down here, I will give you another 10 million, you can do it!"

The number of registered users of "Dream Westward Journey" has exceeded 10 million. The nightclub incident caused a stir a while ago. Mr. Song once again promoted the game on his own blog for the first time. Players rushed to the front line to enjoy it.

"Awesome! One song costs ten million. That's the price for being a top streamer, right? Mr. Song is so grand!"

"Some underground trolls who love to complain: happiness belongs to others. Their mentality is broken."

"Some underground trolls who love to rant: take off the mask of pain, forget it, I don't understand."

"Is this rank suppression? Manual dog head. The theme song has been downloaded, the lyrics are very interesting, and I instantly fell into it."

"It's very passionate! It awakened my feelings about Journey to the West. The lonely hero and his friends start again. It resonates so much!"

It didn’t take long for “Ten Million Theme Song” to become a keyword and appear on Weibo’s hot searches.

[Dream Westward Journey] ushered in another wave of registration peaks, and "Monkey King" also entered the top ten of the new song list.

In the afternoon, [dream5] several people were called to Lin Sen’s office for a meeting.

The other four could not hide their excitement, but Jiang Ye was very calm. He understood that it was not true that this song could sell 10 million yuan.

Song Mingxuan did some event marketing, taking advantage of the nightclub turmoil to smooth things over and add enough gimmicks to attract attention. Anyway, Mr. Song is not short of money, so this round is a win-win situation.

Jiang Ye silently calculated in his mind.

This is a common accounting model in the time and space music industry, regardless of digital singles, albums or physical records: (generally, the price of a single is 3 Chinese yuan, and the price of a record is 30 Chinese yuan)

According to the total sales per quarter after the launch, the company and channels will take the lion's share, and the rest will be divided among the singers, songwriters, arrangers and producers.

The specific proportion depends on the situation. The divisions are naturally different for newcomers and well-known creators.

There are usually successful cases. Famous songwriters, arrangers and producers can get 2%-3%; well-known, master-level, 4%-5%; industry masters, in addition to sharing, there is also a guarantee.

The same goes for artists, debut singers get 3%; first to second tier, 8%-10%; kings and queens, the highest is 15%.

[dream5] is a newcomer and can only get 1%. This is still the combined income, shared equally among the five people.

"Stubborn" was written and composed by Jiang Ye, who was new here at the time and the production was handed over to Peng Yuan. After getting familiar with all aspects, the lyrics, music, arrangement and production of "The Monkey King" were all handled by himself.

According to industry practice, the company gave an additional 1% to each of Jiang Ye's lyrics and music creation for "Stubborn"; "Monkey King" will also include the producer's 1%.

As a large company, Tianyou is quite kind and there is no big store that bullies customers.

You must know that in previous lives, many hard-working unknown musicians, such as Jin Mouwen who participated in "The Voice", were often bought out for thousands of dollars per song.

Two days ago, I received a text message notification from the bank. Jiang Ye checked last month's income, added the basic salary, deducted the tax and paid the deposit, and found that there was less than 50,000 left.

"The music festival is gaining momentum, it's time to prepare for a new album." Lin Sen finished summarizing his work and suddenly laughed, "I would like to emphasize one last time, you can relax, and you are not allowed to be photographed again."

The situation was reversed. Director Lin's voice was no longer hoarse, his mood felt better, and he saw that several boys were distracted and even joked.

He thought thoughtfully and asked tentatively: "I like artists to have their own ideas and initiative. Regarding today's matter, it's okay to say what you think or have any suggestions."

Jiang Ye considered his words, having an idea that he didn't know whether to say or not.

In fact, it was Mr. Song’s marketing that inspired him.

After careful consideration, Jiang Ye said, "I have a suggestion that can continue to build momentum and add fuel to the fire.

In the name of [dream5], all 10 million will be donated to the Hope Project to support students in impoverished mountainous areas.

Firstly, it can completely resolve the public opinion impact caused by the nightclub incident; secondly, the cooperation with Mr. Song can be regarded as the icing on the cake and build a good reputation.

Of course, this is just my idea and needs the approval of the company and everyone.

In addition to my income as an artist, I also donated my personal income from this song to the mountainous area."

Lin Sen's pupils were shaking, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Jiang Ye’s words and Jiang Ye’s person will have to be carefully considered in the future.
