Start with a pop song

Chapter 27: Fairy Sword Love begins

When Song Dao received the message, he was still on his way home.

Hu Wei, who was sitting in the front, looked excited.

He didn't dress so formally today. Instead, he imitated Song Dao and wore a shirt and jeans.

Looks a lot younger too.

With that handsome face, he looks very energetic.

But Song is wearing a sports suit today, which is more casual.

Every morning after going to the park to practice his voice, he would run two laps around the 2,000-meter track. It would be more comfortable to wear sportswear.

"Boss, did Teacher Lin say when that song will be released?"

"Wait a minute, no rush."

"Yeah, no, no, it's actually quite urgent. It would be best if it could be sent out next month!"

Hu Wei rubbed his hands together, turned around and looked at Song Dao with a smile: "So, can you talk to Teacher Lin about this?"

next month?
Wasn't that when your ex-girlfriend got married?

Knew it.

Men are young until they die.

After all, I never let go completely.

I'm unwilling and unhappy.

Song Dao: "Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Lin later."

Then I saw several messages sent by Lin Fei.

It contains two documents and Lin Fei's words.

He clicked on the document titled [Demon Love].

——In the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizong, who had just unified the country, often had nightmares, dreaming that enemy soldiers who died on the battlefield were asking for his life.

He then issued an order to the whole country to build many Buddhist temples.

To pray for the souls of the dead.

He also sent Master Zhenxuan to the Western Regions to seek the true scriptures.

The great demon Wuzhiqi caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the past, and was suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years...

Master Zhenxuan passed by here, broke the seal and rescued Wuzhiqi, and accepted him as his disciple. The master and disciple then went to the Western Regions together.

When passing by Baihu Ridge, Wuzhiqi met his former lover.

A white tiger that has been a spirit for many years and has profound magical powers.

Faced with the fact that the man didn't recognize his relatives and wanted to eat his master's ex-love, Wuzhiqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop him.

Later he discovered that Baihu's desire to eat Master Zhenxuan was fake, and his real intention was to keep him.

Five hundred years later, she still loves him deeply...

In the end, Wuzhiqi chose to accompany his master to the Western Regions, leaving only a bunch of plant seeds from the south for Baihu.

They promised that one day, when the seed took root, sprouted, grew into a big tree, blossomed and bore fruit, he would come back to see them.

Song Dao thought, isn’t this the Journey to the West of this world?
The original owner had read it when he was a child. It was called Journey to the West, and the plot was very similar to Journey to the West.

It also tells the story of subduing demons and obtaining the true scriptures.

That’s why we say that the two worlds have similar development trajectories and even their cultures have many similarities.

But they are just similarities; after all, they are two different flowers.

What surprised Song Dao was that this movie was highly consistent with the song that came out of his golden treasure chest!
He has been thinking about a question all the time.

No matter how classic a song is, it still takes time to prove its worth.

Even a good song is a good song, and you will like it quickly even if you hear it for the first time.

But if there is a story to add to it, the effect will obviously be better!

This is also why there are so many hit songs coming out of various film and television shows.

The two complement each other and when combined, they will become the common memories of a generation or even several generations.

When the familiar melody sounds, your thoughts will be instantly pulled back to a sunny afternoon or a rainy day.

Think of the people and things in the past.

This is how feelings are generated.

Therefore, if you want to promote the classic music on Earth and open up the market, the best way is actually to bundle it with film and television works.

It's like a seed planted in the hearts of this generation.

Then he opened the document with "Three Kingdoms" written on it.

He took a glance and immediately smiled.

Although his memory of the music from his previous life was vague, he still remembered the names of the songs and some of the melodies.

The Three Kingdoms!
This is even more awesome!
If the system gives the corresponding song, there will be no major problems with the filming by Xia Country's number one director, and it will definitely be a big hit!
He had previously felt that the system’s release of songs had a sense of fate, which was very accurate.

This is now even more certain.

"I was still thinking about how to get Sister Fei to talk, but she came to me on her own initiative. The only problem now is probably Teacher Lin's reaction when he heard that she could only take 20%..."

"It's a good opportunity to see if this fairy-like girl really doesn't care about money or is just pretending."

Song Dao was thinking about it.

……

Hu Wei, who was sitting in front, saw Song Dao looking at something and did not dare to disturb him. He just cheered himself up in his heart.

From a junior to Teacher Song, and then from Teacher Song to the boss.

The whole process was so smooth that even he himself found it a little unbelievable.

He thought he was a proud and principled man.

Even when faced with drunk and provocative customers in the bar, he never backed down.

Now he understood that he was not afraid before because those people could not control his fate.

But the junior student sitting in the back row who is several years younger than him... can!

That's why he quit his job that was providing him with a good living yesterday afternoon without hesitation, despite his boss's attempts to keep him.

So he learned how to open the car door for his junior without any instruction, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

I want to prove to everyone who knows my name that I am not daydreaming!
……

Song Dao returned to his residence but did not rush to reply to Lin Fei.

Just replied with "OK".

I turned on the computer as usual, logged into the Penguin Music Creation Platform, and looked at the data.

This has become the happiest thing for him every day.

See through love and see through you, non-member download 250467.

Sad City came from behind and had 314566 non-member downloads.

As the heat cooled, the increase began to slowly slow down.

But this is already very good for Song Dao!
The non-member downloads alone amounted to more than 500,000, and in the end he received more than 300,000 before tax!
Even if the system deducts half of the money after tax, he can still get more than 100,000 yuan.

And this is just non-member downloads, there are also member downloads and advertising revenue.

I estimate it to be at least 200,000.

If you include Kong Xi’s share, it’s more than 300,000 a month!

Even if the income will drop sharply later, it is not difficult for these songs to bring him tens of thousands of yuan per month.

This is even without him accepting any notice, and his income has already exceeded that of most people of this era.

It’s not that no one has contacted him recently. Since he has never registered an account on 525.com, the private messages on the audio-visual and water blog backstage have exploded, and he can’t read them all. Many of them are invitations from businesses or program teams.

He didn't respond.

Miao Xiu has nothing to do with him in the first place, and riding on this wave of popularity will not do him any good in the future.

Lin Fei is not the kind of boss who would exhaust all resources and exploit his artists.

The conditions are very relaxed and no one can force him if he doesn't want to.

Therefore, Song Dao is very satisfied with the current situation.

What’s interesting is that two songs that had originally made it into the top ten of the Musicians’ Original Songs Chart have now been squeezed out.

Seeing Through Love and Seeing Through You ranked twelfth, and Sad City ranked eleventh.

The rising chart and the new song chart have not changed much because they have always been a bit far away from the top ten, and still remain in the top ten every day.

Song Dao knew very well that the top ten were the preserve of large companies.

If it wasn't for the intense heat, it would be almost impossible to rush in and get a spot there.

And this situation will not change just because he signs with the company.

At least not these two songs.

After signing the contract, the most that can be said is that the voices against him personally will gradually decrease. Compared with spending money, it is ultimately not as good as those big companies.

Song Dao didn't care either.

First of all, the potential of these two songs has been basically stimulated by the previous wave of popularity, and it will be difficult for them to reach new heights in the future.

Even though he can get a relatively smaller share of the profits because of being very quiet, in the long run, he will definitely earn more than from these two songs.

Secondly, even if Lin Fei was willing to spend money, he would still object.

After all, there will be more good songs later.

Looking at his reputation, which had already accumulated to 700,000 or 800,000, he was not in a hurry to participate in the lottery.

According to the trend presented by the system, it is obvious that more emphasis is placed on finding singers in this world and promoting the classic songs in the music library.

In that case, just make a fortune quietly.

The system treats him as a tool, and he treats his partners as tools.

Everyone is the same.

This makes sense.

……

June twenty-six.

eight pm.

The most anticipated ancient costume romance drama of the summer, The Legend of Sword and Fairy, is officially on air!
The TV station chose Orange, the leader among local stations, and the network was Penguin Video.

Song Dao, who had nothing to do, picked up his old tablet and planned to take a look at it casually with the mindset of understanding the culture.

Then I looked inside.

This ancient idol drama, which he had previously thought would be very melodramatic and full of cheesy and abusive love plots, turned out to be unexpectedly good.

First of all, the actors are well chosen!
The male lead actor is named Qin Ge. Needless to say, he is handsome and has a pair of expressive peach blossom eyes.

The acting is pretty good too!
Such a handsome guy, but he appeared on stage as an ugly guy and played the role of a little beggar vividly.

The plot is smooth and the lines are not awkward.

The leading actress is Zhao Xue. She debuted as a child star and her acting skills are outstanding. She portrayed the willful fairy who came down to earth to find her husband very vividly.

Secondly, the producer is willing to spend money!

As expected of a crew that spent millions on a song, they put a lot of thought into everything from costumes and props to scene layout.

Finally, the overall soundtrack of this drama is great!

It is the work of Feuillant.

I'm not really trying to praise my own company, but a good drama will definitely lose its effect if it doesn't have a good soundtrack!
How important is the soundtrack?
Ninety-five percent of horror movies will turn into comedies in seconds if funny sound effects are added.

There may not be any great songwriters within Feuillant’s movement, but there are definitely masters in the field of music composition!
There were only two episodes in one night, and I finished watching them at around 10 o'clock.

Song Dao actually felt a little unsatisfied.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but as he gradually got used to this body and this world, and stayed away from the bad things in the past, his mentality became younger without him noticing.

……

He hardly went out for the next few days.

Lin Fei didn't urge him to write songs.

This thing is not like a hen laying eggs. You can't lay one a day or every few days. You need inspiration.

He conveyed Hu Wei's intention to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei agreed immediately.

When a few people were drinking that night, Hu Wei mentioned something about his ex-girlfriend.

So even though Song Dao didn't say a word extra, Lin Fei still guessed what Hu Wei was thinking.

After agreeing, he discussed it with Song Dao.

"First, give him 100,000 yuan to get on the charts. Do you think it's too little?"

One hundred thousand may not seem like a lot, but it is enough to put Hu Wei in the top 20 of the new song list or the rising song list.

After all, this thing is updated once a day. As long as you control the rhythm of spending money and rank in the top ten for a few days in a row, it is not difficult to play a promotional role.

The hot song chart is updated once a week, and the cost is quite high if you spend money on it.

Song Dao recently heard from people at Penguin Music that there will be some adjustments to the Popular Index Chart, which may be linked to the Soaring Chart.

In addition, a new classic ranking list will be launched, ranking according to historical download volume and listening volume, with the former having greater weight.

It is almost impossible to spend money on this kind of list.

Therefore, all along, the soaring chart, the new song chart and the top ten original musicians chart have been the battlegrounds.

Outside the top ten, no one really cares.

"I think it's a lot." Song Dao said.

"In addition, I plan to spend another 100,000 to hire some well-known singing hosts, as well as some good music critics from Audiovisual and My Show to promote it." Lin Fei said over there.

"This is okay too!"

Compared to ranking on music platforms, finding someone to promote your song on a mobile video app is also a way to quickly spread the song.

Just like his two songs, they were actually too popular on video websites and affected the music platform.

"Then it's settled."

……

June 30th.

The last day of the month.

Hu Wei, once a talented singer at the Central Conservatory of Music and now a relatively unknown figure in the music industry, released his first single on Penguin Music.

On the same day, The Legend of Sword and Fairy, which had already reached its tenth episode, finally reached its first climax.

The abuse has begun!
The male protagonist, who had spent the most difficult days with the company of the second female lead, met the female lead who came to look for him when he just felt a little better.

The heroine is a bit willful and capricious, and her quirky personality is far more attractive to the hero than the gentle and virtuous second female lead.

As the plot progresses, the second female lead encounters the male and female protagonists who are behaving more and more intimately, and they begin to look at each other.

I walked away silently with some loss.

At this time, Kong Xi had been singing very quietly, and finally, amid many people's strong anticipation... she made her debut.
