Urban: Becoming a principal from a junior college!

Chapter 407 I have a friend...

Created by people from the past.

Basically, you need to have enough life experience to write stories or lyrics that can touch people.

But modern times are different.

Various Internet platforms allow people to write a variety of touching stories without leaving home or communicating with others.

It is said that a certain master of romance novels has never been in love and has been single for thirty years.

The creation was all based on the love anime I watched before.

Think about it this way.

It is understandable that students wrote such a song.

"It's a pretty good song. I just thought it was ordinary when I first heard it, but the more I listened to it, the more flavorful it became. It's a little bit addictive..."

Marven expressed his opinion on this song.

Ye Chen feels that it may be difficult for this song to become a classic, and its success depends on luck.

But there is still a level of being able to make a small splash.

For a student's work, it is indeed very good.

Director Nie smiled and played the next song for Ye Chen.

"I should be under the car, not in the car..."

"Look at how sweet you are..."

"This way, it will be easier for me to give up and give me the courage to leave..."

"He must love you very much and he will please you better than me..."

The hoarse voice had a unique flavor, but Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

What are your students watching every day?

Why is it another sad love song?

But overall it sounds pretty good.

Director Nie quickly continued playing the next song.

"If I am young and accomplished and don't feel inferior, I know what preciousness is..."

"I feel guilty for not giving you those beautiful dreams..."

"..."

Ye Chen held his forehead...

next song.

"A smart person like me has long since said goodbye to innocence!"

"Why did you use a relationship to exchange for scars..."

"..."

next song.

"Whatever you want from me, your sudden text message is enough to make me sad!"

"I can't forget you. You don't have to remind me, even if it ends like this!"

…

After listening to the songs one by one, Ye Chen couldn't hold himself back any longer.

To be honest, these songs are not bad at all.

Although the tunes of some songs are a bit monotonous, the lyrics are also a bit far-fetched, trying to express the feeling of sadness with new words.

But it's enough that it sounds good.

But the question is, why are they all sad love songs?

Like a group of love-loving dogs venting their emotions...

What have my group of lyric-writing students experienced?

Isn’t this really their personal experience?

For some reason, Ye Chen felt a little sorry for the students in the music composition class.

Director Nie who was opposite looked at Ye Chen and roughly guessed what Ye Chen was thinking.

“The students wrote quite a few songs.”

"But most of them are too ordinary, without skills or emotions, and have no meaning at all to be expressed to the outside world."

"And these sad and sad songs are quite contagious."

"I guess, maybe at the age of students, their minds are full of love and love things, so the writing is more brilliant."

"For example, the song "Waste", I heard that the student who wrote the lyrics composed the lyrics after failing to pursue a senior fitness major..."

Director Nie also expressed his opinion.

It seems that Director Nie also feels that it is the students' own emotional experience.

But when asked, the students didn't admit it.

They all explained that they saw it online, or that they got inspiration from their friends.

But in Director Nie's view, this so-called friend is probably themselves.

But as mature as Mr. Nie, he will naturally not expose these things.

Ye Chen listened and nodded in agreement.

I was also young and passed the second grade of high school.

I even went for a run on the playground when it rained heavily...

So I can understand the students and show respect.

But these songs are released collectively.

Lyricist classes for music majors probably can’t get rid of the impression of being licking dogs on the Internet.

"What do the principal think of the songs as a whole? These are songs selected by me and the teachers and have a certain appreciation value."

Director Nie returned to the topic.

Ye Chen nodded: "The song is good, and it is indeed very emotionally appealing."

"I think it would be better to have a new song press conference than a concert."

"It is specially used to allow students to showcase themselves at the press conference and release excellent original songs to the outside world."

“This way we can showcase our music major to the outside world.”

“It can also be set up as a tradition, so that freshmen can attend it every year and have a stable stage to showcase themselves.”

Director Nie's eyes lit up after hearing Ye Chen's words.

this is a good idea.

Seeing that Director Nie had no objection, Ye Chen continued: "The online press conference is definitely a must. Since the song is released, it must be heard by as many people as possible."

"But it has to be held offline as well. Let's first rent the exhibition venue in Tianhai City for the press conference."

"The announcement of two classic songs in advance has attracted the attention of netizens. Coupled with the attention of the academy itself, as long as the price is not high, there should be no need to worry about not being able to sell tickets."

"I don't expect to make any money from this anyway. Just set the ticket price at thirty or fifty yuan for a movie."

"It happens that students in the e-sports logistics department always complain that there are too few job opportunities, so they are asked to be responsible for preparing for the concert."

"As for the released songs, they will be sold on major music platforms..."

"At that time, half of the proceeds will be given to the students, and the rest can be reserved as creative funds to shoot some music videos for some high-quality songs."

Director Nie's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The principal's suggestion seems pretty good.

The press conference was also held.

Notability has also been built up.

You can also sell songs and earn profits.

not bad.

However, Director Nie didn’t know much about modern music software, so he asked curiously: “Is it easy to sell? I saw on the Internet that netizens seem to be criticizing domestic music software for being too greedy...”

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

Domestic music software is indeed very greedy.

And the user experience is very poor.

There are not all songs available, so if netizens want to listen to songs, they may have to use several platforms to find the songs they like.

Too much trouble.

Secondly, most of them require membership.

It’s okay to sign up for a membership and pay, but some songs are compulsory to purchase before you can listen or download them.

They charge membership fees and have to pay for purchases.

In some cases, even if the user pays for it, the song cannot be played after the copyright of the song expires.

I can only say that it is quite outrageous.

Only domestic platforms can engage in such greedy operations.

However, the general environment of domestic music platforms is like this, and Star Academy cannot change anything.

But just because he couldn't change it didn't mean that Ye Chen had to passively accept it.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen came up with a method: "We do not sign exclusive copyrights for our music. Once it goes online in the future, it will be available on all platforms."

"But all songs are charged. Depending on the quality, the price is set at a maximum of three yuan and a minimum of one yuan."

"Users will be eligible to listen and download permanently on that platform without any restrictions."

"As for the Dragon Fruit Music, the other party doesn't have to purchase it if you want to be a member, so you don't need to buy the Dragon Fruit Music. You can listen to it as long as you are a member."

“We can just collect members’ on-demand revenue from Dragon Fruit Music.”

Like many platforms, some excellent songs can be played exclusively to attract users.

They will spend a lot of money to buy the right to play the song online.

But Ye Chen decided not to accept the money and launched the entire platform.

Just make money by selling songs.

As long as the user pays the money, the song belongs to the user forever.

Director Nie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked forward to it.

In fact, Director Nie is a little disappointed with the current music environment in China.

Only top singers can make money from copyrights.

Most singers can't afford to eat.

This is the current situation, and it is also the main reason for the current slump in Chinese music.

The principal's choice is to simply regard major platforms as a sales channel for songs.

Sell ​​songs directly.

It's the same as when singers made money by selling albums.

But selling songs on the platform is obviously more convenient and cheaper.

If it can succeed.

More musicians are bound to follow suit.

It may change the domestic music landscape from now on.

Ye Chen and Director Nie discussed like this and confirmed the music major's song release plan.

After confirming the plan, the subsequent problems will be easier to solve.

Miss Qi, Tianhai City will naturally give the green light to rent a venue.

As for live streaming, some platforms are also interested.

Douyin is the most enthusiastic.

The second is the issue of song sales.

Star Academy songs are not included in the membership library and are only sold on various platforms.

Users can play and download unlimited times after purchasing it.

The income is 70/30 for both parties.

Naturally, Star Academy took seven.

This is not bad for each platform.

Although some music platforms, looking at the success of Xingchen's gaming and film and television majors, are willing to place heavy bets on the songs of Xingchen music major students, offering high-priced exclusive signing fees.

But still rejected.

Star Academy firmly chooses the all-platform path.

After all, in Ye Chen's view, the development of technology should make ordinary people's lives more convenient, rather than causing trouble to ordinary people.

Students majoring in e-sports are also very positive about having a job.

After all, you can get paid by working for the academy.

The college is never stingy with money.

then.

The entire press conference plan is being prepared and promoted at a rapid pace.

Xingchen Academy even spent two million yuan.

Used to set up the scene for preparing for the song launch.

Let the on-site effect reach the best level.

"..."

while majoring in music.

The entire music major received news that the principal was willing to support their idea and come up with two million.

They were all so excited that they were a direct sensation.

They can finally show their faces.

To be honest, their music majors were not in a hurry.

But the problem is that the three majors opened in the same year, the film and television major and the game production major, have all stood up.

Students from both majors dared to buy food in the school cafeteria without looking at the price.

And what about their music majors?

Money is still tight.

The most important thing is that netizens still ask every day, what about the music major of Xingchen College?

Even when I contact my high school classmates, they will ask me why there is no news about the music major recently?

Is it not possible?

Is your music major the worst major in Xingchen College...

It's so embarrassing.

Therefore, students majoring in music have been holding back their energy for a while.

They also want to make their college life more comfortable by showing what they have learned.

At the same time, they also want to prove it to the outside world.

Our music major has never been inferior.

Now that the opportunity is finally in front of them, they naturally have to seize it.

It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the music major!

The students are also very enthusiastic about the college's selection of a song to warm up for the press conference.

The discussion in the group is in full swing.

Finally, by voting on 20 songs, the song for warm-up was selected.

It was a song jointly created by three students in the lyrics class.

Then six students in the composition class arranged it.

Finally, the teacher gave a lot of guidance.

Finally, in the singing class, a female student with the most suitable voice and breath was selected to sing.

The female student's surname is Huang, and she gave herself a stage name, Xiao Sang.

And the name of this song is "Loneliness is Singing"!

Everyone felt that this song fit the theme of this conference.

Love and romance, aren't they all caused by loneliness?

Then loneliness is the most suitable song for the warm-up song of this conference.

Xiao Sang was looking forward to the song she sang as a warm-up song, but she was also a little nervous.

Xiao Sang has loved music and singing since she was a child.

Her academic performance is actually very good.

She is good enough to go to top colleges such as the Central Conservatory of Music, the Central Conservatory of Music, and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

But because of her average family background, most singers now have to spend money to debut and become famous.

In some talent shows, if you want to advance to a higher position, you have to give money to the mentors, the program team, and the director, which is almost the norm in the industry.

Xiao Sang felt that it would be difficult for her to make a move if she entered a traditional music college.

So after hesitating for a while, she finally chose the new music major of Xingchen College and took a gamble.

In fact, when she first signed up.

Xiao Sang was a little nervous.

She was worried that she had made the wrong choice, that the music major of Xingchen College was not as reliable as other majors, and that the teachers were not of sufficient level.

But after officially enrolling.

Xiao Sang found that her worries were unnecessary.

The music major of the college is simply too powerful.

There are all kinds of professional music instruments that Xiao Sang has never heard of, let alone seen.

Even the headphones used in the music appreciation class are tens of thousands of yuan a pair, which really shocked Xiao Sang.

The college even has the most professional recording studio, which makes Xiao Sang's eyes shine.

In addition to the powerful teaching facilities.

Although the teachers of the school are not famous, their attainments and understanding of music are simply incredible.

One teacher showed high notes during class.

The highest note is one semitone higher than the last key of the standard 88-key piano, which stunned Xiao Sang and a group of classmates.

Some teachers can easily change their range and seamlessly switch between male and female voices.

When singing female songs, if you don't open your eyes, you can't guess that the teacher singing on the podium will be a male teacher.

Some teachers can compose an original song that is so beautiful that it amazes people at any time when they play piano accompaniment for them in class.

The students were amazed to an incredible degree.

And Xiao Sang also heard from the students in the instrument class that their instrument teacher was even more powerful.

I can only say that although the teachers in the academy are not famous, they are all ridiculously powerful.

I really don’t know how the academy recruited these big guys.

Xiao Sang thought while heading to the recording studio.

The song "Loneliness is Singing" is a warm-up song, so it is natural to re-record it.

And because it is too late to shoot the MV now.

So I plan to record it live directly.

The students in the performance class will compose the music and sing by themselves.

After the sound is adjusted and sound effects are added in the later stage, it can be released directly...
