Chapter 19 Customized Song
From last month's season rankings, the "Ten Days of Terror" brought about by "Xiaochou" is still fresh in our minds. Naturally, the industry's memory of the somewhat arrogant name "Bai Di" is fresh.
But in the final analysis, Bai Di is just a newcomer.
What is more concerning is the familiar yet unfamiliar name behind him.
Zhang Xiyang!
The popularity and popularity of this person back then was not simple, and he even defeated the king and queen of singers!
Now, after three years, Zhang Xiyang has made a low-key return together with Bai Di, who made a big splash last month—
That’s right, this return is quite low-key.
It can be seen from the fact that the two of them did not do any advance warm-up for their new songs.
Obviously, the cooperation between these two people would be enough for Shinhwa to publicize it, but they did not do so.
also.
The release date of this song is really a bit confusing. Why not choose number 1 instead of number 2?
Is it too willful?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more day to do the rankings?
Of course, no matter what the reason behind all this is, the quality of the songs is the key.
is.
Many people were very curious and listened to the song again.
After listening to this song, many people in the industry had mixed emotions for a while.
"Bai Di's lyrics and music this time are still above the standard, not inferior to his debut, and Zhang Xiyang's singing skills are even more outstanding. Not only has he not deteriorated due to several years of silence, he has even improved to a higher level. It feels like he has returned to his original nature. "
In a small group within the industry.
A senior musician gave this evaluation, but then he added:
"But... this song is easy to be highbrow. Neither Bai Di nor Zhang Xiyang seems to put the market first. In other words, the professionalism of this song is unquestionable, but the style is a bit unpleasant for young listeners. Hi, 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.
"Maybe they chose to release it on the second day to show that they don't care about season rankings. This song actually has a greater impact on me than "Xiaocou", but my taste is a little more niche. In addition, I think Zhang Xiyang Making a comeback with this song actually fits his style very well."
“You can tell at a glance that this song is a customized song tailor-made by Bai Di for Zhang Xiyang.”
“Judging from the work, it is indeed tailor-made, but now that you are back, don’t you want to hit the number one spot on the season charts? Why not choose a work with a more catchy melody and catchy lyrics?”
“The market for this song is actually pretty good.”
“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 trend is obviously heading towards the top ten.”
“Are Zhang Xiyang’s fans making an effort?”
“Baidi is also working hard. After all, this is his new song after "Xiaochou", and the power of the previous song still remains."
"Zhang Xiyang's skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and I haven't met the king of singers this month, so I feel that this song will definitely enter the top ten of the season list. There is definitely no hope of being number one, but I can try it. Top seven.”
“The first seven? I suspect you did it on purpose.”
“Hahahahahahaha, I didn’t mean to make fun of you, I really feel that way.”
This person really didn’t do it on purpose.
It can only be said that Zhang Xiyang, who was in the limelight at that time, fell silent due to divorce, which made too many people sigh with regret. The power of love is always huge, and it is no wonder that love songs have always been the traffic password in the music world.
At this time.
Someone in the group suddenly said: "Zhang Xiyang will be promoting the "Cloud Song Club" on the 6th of this month. Shinhwa has already issued an announcement."
“No. 6?”
“I’ll go get some live tickets for “Yunge 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 chart, held once a week, and usually invites four or five singers from the top twenty singers in the season chart to participate.
Singers will basically never refuse, this is one of the front lines of the publicity war!
Because the ratings of "Cloud Song Club" are particularly high, it is a very suitable stage for promoting new songs. Singers will perform on the stage with their new songs that are currently charting.
If the performance is good enough, it will also be of great benefit to the charts. Generally no one will give up such a good publicity opportunity.
…
Zhang Xiyang seems to be bigger than a skinny camel. Even though the reviews of "Song for Myself" are a bit polarizing, the song still rushed to the ninth place on the season chart two days later.
However, after reaching ninth place on the season chart, the upward momentum of "Song to Myself" slowed down, and it is estimated that the final ranking of this song will be roughly within this range. Lin Zhibai had expectations and could accept this ranking result.
Of course he is still a little disappointed. After all, if he can get first place in the season rankings this time, he will get extra rewards from the system.
On the other hand, my sister Lin Xi is already very satisfied with the result.
"Although this song is not as popular as "Xiaochou", many of my friends in the industry speak 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 a hit. It’s just good luck.”
“There is definitely no money in this industry.”
Lin Zhibai is very thirsty for money now. No matter how high the professional evaluation is, it cannot be exchanged for money. It must be widely recognized by the public.
Lin Xidao: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be impatient first. Who says that people in the industry are definitely not rich? 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 number of downloads is just for the basic disk. In addition to the regular download sharing, the composer actually has a very profitable business!"
Lin Zhibai was stunned: "What?"
Lin Xi said two words: "Customized!"
custom made?
Lin Zhibai looked at his sister: "Speak more clearly."
Lin Xi thinks that his younger brother should also be exposed to this information. "Customization is simply the soundtracks for film and television animation works, such as promotional songs, impression songs, theme songs, ending songs, etc."
Isn’t that just ost?
Lin Zhibai thoughtfully said: "You mean the original soundtrack or something like that."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "That's probably what it means. For example, in Qinzhou, there are so many film and television dramas released every year. These film and television dramas all need soundtracks, especially those big productions. They almost only compete with the three major ones. When cooperating with Party B, the order price is not cheap, after all, everyone knows that writing customized songs is difficult.”
“What’s the price of customized music?”
“The price of a gold medal composer is less than 10 million, and a songwriter can get at least more than 10 million. Of course, I am talking about large-scale productions. Those film and television dramas that only cost tens of millions are reluctant to cooperate with the three major companies.”
There was a pause.
Lin Xi looked at his younger brother: "The industry now generally believes that your song "Song for Myself" is a work tailor-made for Zhang Xiyang's return to the music scene. From this perspective, your song is very successful!"
“So that’s it…”
Lin Zhibai understood what his sister meant.
If Zhang Xiyang's story is a movie, then "Song to Myself" is a soundtrack that perfectly fits the theme.
As for the producers of film and television dramas, when they choose soundtracks, the first thing they have to consider is not the market for the song.
It’s about whether the style and content of this song fit the theme of their film and television drama while ensuring the quality of the work!
"Customized music is like a proposition composition. Not every composer can write a proposition composition well. Most composers are better at expressing themselves freely. So your performance this time has allowed the industry to see your ability to write proposition compositions. I'll try to help you get the custom order when you come down, the profit from this is not small!" Lin Xi drew a pie.
"Well…"
Lin Zhibai didn’t know what to say, he couldn’t get enough of this piece of cake.
His family knows his own affairs, and the songs Lin Zhibai got were all randomly drawn. There was too much luck, and it all depended on the system.
Lin Zhibai can only use whatever song he draws.
Even if someone does ask him to customize it, it will be difficult for him to just pick out a song that meets the requirements.
You can't be filming a movie that is obviously an action movie and needs an exciting promotional song, and then you end up writing a "Song to Yourself" for the other party, right?
And at this moment
Crimson appears suddenly.
“Congratulations to the host for triggering the customization function. In the future, the host can use the reputation and system to customize the works, but the reputation consumed by the customized works will be higher than that of the lottery. The specific amount depends on the situation.”
Customized functions?
Lin Zhibai was startled, and then he felt very happy. Someone gave him a pillow when he felt sleepy.
I just finished complaining in my mind that the randomness of the lottery is too strong, and the system has a customization function. It really keeps pace with the times.
Although customizing works consumes more reputation than drawing a lottery, this function is so convenient!
It means that as long as you have enough reputation, you can customize any song you want. It is no longer like a regular lottery and you can only passively accept random works.
But then again, reputation is really hard to get.
Lin Zhibai’s current reputation is too little. Even the regular lottery is not enough, so where can he spend enough for customization?
Think about it this way.
Lin Zhibai couldn't help but look at the season rankings, could "Song to Myself" be more fierce?
