Chapter 56 Poppy
Gu Qingge is now showing off her knowledge of classical Chinese, which will also pave the way for her to create "Chinese style" and "ancient style" songs in the future.
It’s not that there are no “Chinese-style” songs in the world, but that they are not very popular and have not yet formed a genre.
Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, the best partners, have made great contributions to the popularity of "Chinese style" songs in the original world.
The songs they collaborated on, such as "Dongfeng Po", "Hair Like Snow" and "Blue and White Porcelain", are all masterpieces of "Chinese style" songs.
Later, more and more singers began to try songs in this style, and more and more excellent works were produced, so this genre was completely formed.
Gu Qingge has been in this parallel world for some time. In order to improve her vocal skills, she has covered many songs on "Yin Yue Yun".
"Yin Yue Cloud" is somewhat similar to the "Net Depression Cloud" in the original world. It is a mobile client under "Yin Yue Net", and the data of the two are interoperable.
There are also many talented users on "Yin Yue Yun". They make up their own stories in the comment sections of many well-known songs to make them real and sad, so much so that this "Yin Yue Yun" has become a popular topic "Depression Cloud".
Every song on "Yin Yue Yun" has a function for users to cover it, and there is also a popularity ranking.
Gu Qingge's cover naturally did not attract much attention and was not very popular.
She doesn't want to be popular, and there is no need to let fans know about this process of "killing monsters and leveling up".
Her nickname on "Yin Yue Yun" is [Yu Mei Ren].
She was too lazy to think of a pseudonym name, so she just picked a random song title. Her previous works, "Nan Ge Zi" and "Yi Jiangnan", were also song titles.
By covering popular songs from this world, she gained a deeper understanding of the world's music scene.
She felt that there were many great people in the music world, and top music producers had a very high status in the music world, and even ordinary people were familiar with them.
Therefore, she is very much looking forward to what kind of surprises the musicians around the world can bring her after she promotes the "Chinese style" songs.
In the original world, after Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Leehom Wang, Hu Yanbin, Xu Song, etc., all have their own popular representative "Chinese style" songs.
If Gu Qingge wants to release a "Chinese style" song in the future, he will definitely not use a pseudonymous account, but will directly use the main account, which will be more conducive to promoting songs of this style.
However, this opportunity also needs to be grasped so that the name of "Chinese style" can be made famous.
Of course, in this world, it will definitely be called "Chinese style".
As for her currently unpublished trumpet [Poppy], besides using it to listen to songs and cover songs, it also has a great function.
The side quest "Establish a personal account on Yinyue.com and release a single" is still on Gu Qingge's task list, and she plans to complete it using the account [Yu Meiren].
In a sense, this trumpet is her "tool number" for completing system tasks.
She can use this account to release various niche songs without worrying about whether more people can hear them.
Folk songs that are more poetic and ancient can be published using this small account.
The route that Gu Qingge set for this vest is a purely niche independent musician, which will not be linked to any business or capital.
In fact, there are quite a few such independent musicians in this parallel world.
Because this "Yinyue.com" is indeed a very excellent platform, it has cultivated the habit of users paying to download songs.
Independent musicians can also set the number of free trials they give to users, and then freely set the price between one and ten yuan, and finally split the download revenue with the platform in a 50-50 split.
As for those who have signed contracts with entertainment companies, they naturally don’t have this kind of freedom. They have to follow the company’s arrangements, and then your songs will be recommended more.
If your song is given to other singers to sing, that singer will also have to take at least 5%, and it will be higher for big-name singers.
If you are a new musician, you can only get 5%, and the rest goes to the company.
Therefore, when Zhang Gaoyi gave 10% to the new music producer Gu Qingge, it was considered a sign of sincerity.
After all, a complete and excellent song cannot be completed by a composer and a singer. It also requires arrangement, a company to provide a band, and so on.
For this kind of standardized commercial pop songs, the division of labor is very clear, and teamwork is very important.
Independent musicians have gained such freedom by completely abandoning the support of capital.
Even though he can take 50% by himself, he needs to compose, write lyrics, arrange, sing, and accompany himself...
How many musicians can be so versatile?
Generally, new independent musicians play folk music because it is simple - they just pick up a guitar and sing by themselves, then record the music and upload it to "Yinyue.com".
Almost no user would be willing to spend money to download such a song, it is too amateurish and crude.
Musicians on "Yinyue.com" are divided into three levels, namely gold, platinum and diamond, and their shares will be higher, which are 64, 73 and 82 respectively.
To become a "golden" musician, the total download volume of all songs must exceed one million.
"Platinum" requires five songs to have more than two million downloads each, while "Diamond" increases the number to ten songs, and one song must have more than 10 million downloads.
Judging from this requirement, the difficulty of "gold", "platinum" and "diamond" has increased exponentially.
Therefore, there are actually quite a few "gold" level musicians on the entire platform, but the number of "platinum" and "diamond" level musicians is very small.
“Platinum” level means at least a first-tier musician, and “Diamond” level means a super first-tier, top-tier musician.
Almost all of them are non-independent musicians, and are backed by entertainment companies, which have also invested huge publicity resources in them.
Like You Ruoyu's scumbag father You Woxing, he is a "diamond" level musician. There is a cool diamond logo on his personal account. Many of the songs under his account have been downloaded over a million times, and the people he collaborates with are all kings and queens of singing.
For an average independent musician, if he can become a "golden" level musician by relying on his own talent, it is already very impressive, and his musical talent is definitely top-notch.
Often they will be noticed by big capital next. Under the temptation of fame and fortune, how many people can keep their original intentions?
Being a minority is often a last resort, as most people ultimately yearn for flowers and applause.
In the original world, there are some original musicians who claim to stick to the "folk" and "rock" fields, but later they were commercialized, and then their works became more popular and more successful. This is the reality.
Gu Qingge's own account clearly follows the popular route, and Jay Chou, JJ Lin, G.E.M. and others are her role models.
But this does not prevent her from letting "Poppy" take a niche route, keeping a low profile and mysterious.
The first song she was going to release on Yinyue.com with [Yu Meiren] was, of course, a folk song, and was called "Borrow Me"—
Lend me ten years
Lend me the courage to flee
Let me make a solemn oath
Lend me the loneliness of first meeting
Lend me the vitality that is not afraid of being crushed
Lend me the vigor and recklessness, without worrying about tomorrow
Lend me a ray of light to illuminate the darkness
Lend me a smile as bright as spring
Lend me the feeling of killing mediocrity
Lend me the sorrow and cry of indulgence
Lend me the same heartbeat as before
Lend me the comfortable mornings and evenings
Watching time pass by
Lend me silence
Don't care, don't ask, don't say
Not reading either
Watching time pass by
Lend me silence
Don't care, don't ask, don't say
Not reading either
