Chapter 142 Final Version
With the arrival of twelve o'clock, the new year officially begins, and the party will come to an end in a short time.
Lu's mother said unsatisfactorily: "It will end so soon."
Father Lu was already slightly drunk, and said with a smile, "There is a singer in our family, let him sing for you tomorrow."
Lu Xin also drank a few cups, hearing this, he just smiled and nodded.
But Mama Lu didn't hear clearly at all, she was still staring at the TV.
On the TV screen, the host had already started the final string of words, and when it was about to end, Lu Xin shook his head with a smile. Without the singing of "Unforgettable Tonight", I am really not used to it.
Lu's father and Lu's mother were packing up. As soon as Lu Xin entered the bedroom, he saw the mobile phone on the table flickering, which was very conspicuous in the darkness.
He turned on the light, picked up his phone and looked at it, only to find that there was a missed call.
But as soon as I saw who was calling, another call came in.
Lu Xin hurriedly closed the bedroom door and connected it, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what's the matter?"
He knew that there were people on duty at Jingting Music even today, and Zhou Huaiyong was also busy, so he didn't get through on the phone during the day.
Calling at this time really made him a little worried, whether something happened.
Fortunately, although Zhou Huaiyong's voice sounded a little tired, he was also a little excited, "Mr. Lu, all the preparations have been completed, and all the recorded songs have been uploaded to the database. It will be the fifth day of the new year."
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou has worked hard."
"I'll send you a verification code later. You can download the final beta version to see if there are any suggestions for improvement. There is still time for adjustments. It has been trial run for two days, and everything is stable now."
Zhou Huaiyong smiled, "Also, there are already more than 2 listeners and users in the closed beta test. It seems that we have done a good job in the early stage. The offline appeal of these independent musicians is also somewhat beyond my expectations. .”
"so much?"
Lu Xin was taken aback for a moment, he thought it would be nice to have a few thousand people at first.
After all, it is just a new platform, and there are not too many musicians on it.
But yes, each of these independent musicians, or each band, has a certain appeal in their own venues.
Based on the fact that one place can radiate hundreds of people, 2 people are just dozens of places.
There are so many cities in the country, so many performance bars and other LIVEHOUSE performance venues, this number is not an exaggeration.
Moreover, it can radiate to more people in the future.
Zhou Huaiyong smiled and said: "Yes, there is one more thing, we have also reached an agreement with the Haobo platform, and the tour will be broadcast live on their platform."
"The cost of this tour may be higher. Let me explain to Mr. Lu."
Next, Zhou Huaiyong talked about the purpose of this call.
It turned out that he planned to increase the number of tour performances. In this case, the original budget would increase. Maybe he was afraid that Lu Xin would have some ideas, so he called just after he was busy.
Lu Xin could understand it. In fact, the more shows there were on the tour, the lower the cost of each show would be. The two talked about the next arrangements before Zhou Huaiyong hung up the phone.
After the tour, the popularity of the platform should increase to a certain extent. Presumably, more independent musicians will come to cooperate, and the audience will gradually increase. At that time, there should be other marketing planning methods.
After hanging up, Lu Xin soon received a message.
He followed the prompts and downloaded Jingting music to his phone. In fact, according to Zhou Huaiyong, this should be the version when it was finally launched.
Open it, and sure enough, there are far more songs on it than the last time he saw it.
In terms of categories, most of them are folk and rock.
Folk songs, because they are simple, can be completed without too much equipment in many cases, so the works of many independent musicians are all folk music.
And rock, once popular and crazy in this time and space, is represented by the hourly band where Suhang is.
Later, with the retreat of the older generation of rock singers and bands, they gradually disappeared from people's sight.
Under the impact of popular songs, it has only become the love of a few people.
On mainstream platforms, rock and roll has become rare, but some underground bands perform live, and they often gain some fans.
Of course, with the development of music to the present, the boundaries between categories are actually not so obvious. You can’t say that an acoustic guitar must be a folk song, and you can’t say that a combination of guitar, bass and drums must be a rock.
The works of some musicians are rich and varied.
In addition, there are some other niche music such as jazz.
Lu Xin opened a few songs at random and listened to them. After trying them out for a while, he found a few things that he felt could be improved.
He took out a pen and paper to record one by one, and prepared to communicate with Zhou Huaiyong later.
The first one is the audition question.
One song and one device can only be listened to once, which is fine, but Lu Xin feels that if you click on it afterward, it will be dark, which is not good.
You can change it a little bit, so that after a trial listening, you can only listen to it for 1 minute, or tens of seconds.
Of course, you can definitely listen to the whole song after buying it.
The second is the purchase of albums.
Not to mention the release of a single, it is a song, so you can buy it naturally.
But with an album of ten songs, Jingting Music follows the previous practice of KK Music, and it is not suitable to buy a single song.
To be honest, before releasing albums, many record companies used one or two title songs to drive the sales of the entire album.
The quality of other songs is obviously not as good as the title song.
Sometimes fans and listeners can't help but feel cheated.
Now that every song can be auditioned, it is natural that each song can be purchased separately.
Good-quality songs and good-sounding songs will have high sales, which will also help to promote musicians' enthusiasm for creation.
In addition, there are two simple small problems, which he also recorded.
Everything is settled, it is almost 2 o'clock.
When Lu Xin put down his phone, he remembered Meng Fanying's missed call.
It should be New Year's greetings, but he didn't care.
……
The next day, New Year's Day.
In the morning, Lu Xin and his parents went to several houses in the courtyard to visit the New Year. They were all colleagues who had a good relationship with Lu's parents and mothers in the factory.
Because Lu Xin is a junior, he actually received a few red envelopes, so it was not in vain.
When they got home, Aunt Wang from upstairs also came with her son Chen Xiuming, and the daughter-in-law followed behind with the child in her arms.
We also made an appointment to play mahjong together.
And Lu Xin learned that Chen Xiuming went to work late, so he asked him to install the broadband at home after the communication company opened the door. Dad Lu may not be familiar with these things.
The other party readily agreed.
"Thanks."
Lu Xin thanked with a smile. The new house needs to be renovated and dried, so there is no rush to move there.
Neighbors, we still need to improve our relationship.
He had already calculated the time with Zhou Huaiyong last night, and he had to leave tomorrow for Beimeng City. For him, this year has passed.
I saw a lot of people saying that the songs I wrote were niche, but I actually don’t think those songs are niche, they’re just a little old, but I really think they’re all good songs.
Would it be good if all the songs were written on Douyin and heard every day?A song that you have never heard before, in case you think it sounds good again, I think it is a kind of unexpected harvest.
New songs will naturally be written, take your time, okay?thank you all.
