Last month's season rankings, the "Ten Days of Cry" brought by "Sorrow" is still vivid, and the industry's memory of "White Emperor", a rather arrogant name, is naturally fresh.

But Baidi is just a newcomer after all.

What makes people more concerned is the familiar yet unfamiliar name behind him.

Zhang Xiyang!

The popularity and popularity of this year was not easy, and he even defeated the king of singers and queens!

Now, after three years, Zhang Xiyang has returned in a low-key way with Baidi, who made a big splash last month——

Yes, this return is not without a low profile.

It can be seen from the fact that the duo's new song has not been warmed up in advance.

Obviously, the cooperation between these two people is qualified to make Shinhwa open up a stance and make a good publicity, but they didn't do so.

also.

The release date of this song is also a bit confusing, why not choose number one but choose number two?

Is it too capricious?

Isn't it good to have one more day to play the rankings?

Of course, no matter what is the reason behind all this, the quality of the song is the key point.

Yes.

Many people listened to the song with strong curiosity.

And after listening to this song, many people in the industry felt complicated for a while.

"Bai Di's lyrics and music this time are still above the standard, not inferior to his debut work at all, and Zhang Xiyang's singing skills are even more outstanding, not only did not regress due to the years of silence, but even improved to a higher level, feeling a bit back to basics. "

In a small group in the industry.

A senior musician gave such an evaluation, but he then added:

"But... this song is easy to be melodious. Neither Baidi nor Zhang Xiyang seem to put the market first. Or the professionalism of this song is unquestionable, but the style is a little different for young listeners. To be pleasing, you need some life experience and some things accumulated over the years to feel what this song is about."

This evaluation has been widely recognized by other industry insiders.

"Choose to release on the 2nd, perhaps to show that they don't value the ranking of the season rankings. This song actually has a greater impact on me than "Sorrow", but my taste is a bit less popular. In addition, I think Zhang Xiyang Returning with this song actually fits his style very well."

"This song can be seen at a glance as Baidi's tailor-made song for Zhang Xiyang."

"From the point of view of the work, it is indeed tailor-made, but since it is back, don't you want to hit the top of the season rankings? Why not choose a work with a more catchy melody and a catchy song?"

"The market for this song is actually okay."

"I have been paying attention to the data of this song, and found that this song is still relatively good. It has already reached the top 30 in the season chart. This momentum is obviously heading towards the top ten."

"Are Zhang Xiyang's fans working hard?"

"Bai Di is also working hard. After all, it is his new song released after "Dissipating Sorrow". The last song still has the power."

"Zhang Xiyang, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and I haven't met the queen of singers this month, so I feel that this song is firmly in the top ten of the season list. There is definitely no hope for the first place, but I can try to rush Top seven."

"The first seven? I suspect you did it on purpose."

"Hahahahahahaha, I didn't deliberately play tricks, I really think so."

This person really didn't mean it.

It can only be said that Zhang Xiyang, who was in the limelight back then, was silent because of divorce, which made too many people sigh. The power of love is always huge, and it is no wonder that love songs have always been the traffic code of the music world.

At this time.

Suddenly someone said in the group: "Zhang Xiyang will be promoting the "Cloud Song Club" on the 6th of this month, Shinhwa has already issued an announcement."

"Number six?"

"I'll go get some live tickets for "Cloud Song Club". I haven't heard Zhang Xiyang live for many years."

There are many music programs in Qinzhou.

One of the most popular music programs is "Cloud Song Club".

This is a derivative program of the season list, held once a week, and usually invites four or five singers from the top 20 singers of the season list to participate.

Singers will basically not refuse, this is one of the frontiers of the propaganda war!

Because the ratings of "Cloud Song Club" are particularly high, it is a very suitable stage to promote new songs. Singers will perform on the stage with their new songs that are currently hitting the charts.

If the performance is good enough, it will also be of great benefit to the rankings. Generally, no one will give up such a good publicity opportunity.

...

As discussed in the industry, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Zhang Xiyang seemed to be bigger than a skinny camel. Even though the comments on "Song for Myself" were a bit polarized, the song still rushed to the ninth place in the season chart two days later.

However, after rushing to ninth on the season chart, the upward momentum of "Song for Myself" has slowed down, and it is estimated that the final ranking of this song will be roughly in this range.

Lin Zhibai had expected it and could accept this ranking result.

Of course, he was still somewhat disappointed. After all, if he could get the first place in the season rankings this time, he would be able to get extra rewards from the system.

On the contrary, sister Lin Xi was already very satisfied with the result.

"Although this song is not as popular as "Dissipate Sorrow", many of my friends in the industry spoke highly of the lyrics and music of this song. The name Baidi has been initially recognized by the industry. Now no one doubts that your last song will be popular. Just luck."

"It's definitely not worth the money in the industry."

Lin Zhibai is very thirsty for money now, no matter how high his professional evaluation is, he can't exchange it for money, he has to be generally recognized by the public.

Lin Xidao: "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, who said that those in the industry are definitely not worth money? Do you know what composers mainly rely on to make money?"

"Of course it's the number of downloads." Lin Zhibai said without thinking.

Lin Xi said mysteriously: "The download volume is just the basic disk. Besides the regular download share, the composer actually has a very profitable business!"

Lin Zhibai was taken aback: "What?"

Lin Xi said two words: "Customization!"

custom made?

Lin Zhibai looked at his sister: "Be clear."

Lin Xi felt that his younger brother should also have access to this information. "To put it simply, customization is the soundtrack of those film and television animation works, such as promotional songs, impression songs, theme songs, ending songs, etc."

Isn't that the OST?

Lin Zhibai was thoughtful: "You mean the original soundtrack."

Lin Xi smiled and said: "That's probably what it means. For example, in Qinzhou, there are so many film and television dramas that are released every year. These film and television dramas all need soundtracks, especially those big productions. They almost only follow the big three. If Party B cooperates, the order price is not cheap, after all, everyone knows that custom-made songs are not easy to write."

"What about the custom song price?"

"The price of a gold medal composer is less than 10 million yuan. If Daddy Qu can get at least 10 million yuan, of course I'm talking about big productions. Those film and television dramas that cost only tens of millions are reluctant to cooperate with the three majors."

paused.

Lin Xi looked at his younger brother: "The industry now generally believes that your song "Song for Myself" is a tailor-made work for Zhang Xiyang's return to the music scene. From this perspective, your song is very successful!"

"It turned out to be like this..."

Lin Zhibai understood what her sister meant.

If Zhang Xiyang's story is a movie, then "Song for Myself" is a soundtrack that fits the theme very well.

As for the producers of film and television dramas, when they choose the soundtrack, the first thing they should consider is not the market for this song.

It's about whether the song's style and content fit the theme of their film and television drama under the premise of ensuring the quality of the work!

"Customized songs are like propositional compositions. Not every composer can write propositional compositions well. Most composers are better at free play, so your performance this time has shown the industry your ability to write propositional compositions. Then I will try to help you get the custom order, and the profit here is not small!" Lin Xi drew a cake.

"Well……"

Lin Zhibai didn't know what to say, he couldn't get this cake just right.

My family knew about my family affairs, and the songs Lin Zhibai got were all randomly drawn. There was too much luck involved, and it all depended on the system's face.

Lin Zhibai could only use whatever song was drawn.

Even if someone really asked him to customize it, it would be very difficult for him to just pick a song that meets the requirements.

It's impossible for someone to shoot an action movie and need an exciting promotional song, but end up writing a "Song for Myself" for the other party, right?

And at this moment

Crimson suddenly appeared.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the customization function. In the future, the host can use the prestige and system to customize works, but the prestige consumed by customized works will be higher than that of lottery draws. The specific amount depends on the situation."

Custom features?

Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed, this is called sleepiness, and someone gave him a pillow.

I just complained in my heart that the randomness of the lottery draw is too strong, and the system released a custom function, which really keeps pace with the times.

Although custom works consume more prestige than lottery draws, this function is really convenient!

It means that as long as I have enough reputation, I can customize any song I want, no longer like a regular lottery, I can only passively accept random works.

But then again, reputation is really hard to get.

Lin Zhibai's current prestige is too low, even the regular lottery is not enough, so how can it be customized consumption?

Think about it this way.

Lin Zhibai couldn't help looking at the season rankings, could "Song for Myself" be more aggressive?
