Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 437 Before dying, he hoped that Brother Can would hold a fan meeting.

"Li Can's architecture is really useful, hehehe."

In Shenzhen, China, a lewd laugh could be heard coming from an independent music studio.

Ever since Li Can entered the game music scene and put the concept of "total art" into practice, Zhang Ping had a vague feeling that he had to follow suit, as this could very well be the future business trend.

However, it was only after his studio, which had been producing mass-market songs for entertainment companies, shifted its focus to the gaming industry that Zhang Ping truly realized the enormous gap between different sectors.

When I first entered the field of game music, almost every aspect of knowledge was previously a blind spot.

Zhang Ping realized that knowledge barriers and information cocoons were actually very close to him.

Having nowhere to start, and feeling like he had to begin from scratch, Zhang Ping was incredibly frustrated.

After all, not every music producer is a seasoned gamer with a deep understanding of games.

But now, everything is different.

The [Li Can Architecture] can be a very basic micro-operation guide.

This is mainly for single-player games with complete storylines and gameplay that do not require long-term updates after completion.

However, this does not mean that its content has no reference value for other industries.

Not only in the gaming industry, but also in many areas such as film and television scoring, the Li Can framework can be used to build mind maps and overall functional areas.

Strictly speaking, this is not a formula; there is no function that allows you to make good music simply by plugging it in.

Rather, it is a design logic, a way of thinking.

Following Li Can's detailed framework, which extends to the level of music theory, is very useful for the diverse musical needs of games and films.

And after the [Li Can Architecture] gradually became popular.

Regions with developed gaming industries, such as Japan and Europe, were among the first to reap the benefits.

The film and television industry followed closely behind.

In recent domestic releases, there has been an increasing number of suite arrangements based on the [Li Can Structure] model.

Zhang Ping was one of them.

There are few projects available for domestic games, but there are many for film and television. By trying out film and television projects and learning from other game examples, you can become proficient in the [Li Can Architecture] and make steady progress.

However, Zhang Ping dared not slack off at all.

Everyone knows that with such a convenient and user-friendly architecture, game music will undergo a systemic transformation.

There's always someone better; no matter how much you try to outdo someone, there will always be someone even more determined.

Whether you can seize an opportunity and make a few more meals amidst this huge wave depends on your understanding and application of the [Li Can Architecture]!

Producers in the industry are becoming increasingly engrossed in architectural practice.

But as the soul master in the hearts of countless producers, Li Can began a mandatory business reorganization after returning to China.

Old Wang is sick again, but not completely.

Work pressure was too great, so I took two days off to relax. As a result, the work projects piled up.

"Brother Chan, are we really going to push them all down?"

The deputy in the business department asked Li Can somewhat nervously.

When Lao Wang took leave, there were some things he didn't dare to handle directly, so he could only ask Li Can. But Li Can was too decisive, his face clearly showing that he didn't want to work, so he could only watch helplessly as many promising projects were painfully rejected.

"push!"

".All right."

The deputy nodded, looking troubled.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.

"Brother Can, Boss Wang said everything else is fine, but you have to go for this project. What do you think?"

"."

Li Can was somewhat annoyed, but not dissatisfied.

Although his deputy was sweating a little, Li Can had no intention of making things difficult for him.

He just smiled and nodded.

"Let me see it, and I'll talk to Lao Wang about it myself."

"okay."

After receiving the documents from his deputy, he immediately went back to implement the work.

Turning down business is an art; you can't just refuse bluntly. You need to express different levels of refusal depending on the value of the business.

Being too nice to low-quality businesses will only encourage them to take advantage, while being indifferent to high-quality businesses will only harm future development.

Take the file.

Li Can was stunned.

It wasn't the big business I had imagined.

It was not a fan gathering, but a fan interaction event.

As a world-class legendary band and one of the most successful performers and producers in the music industry, they also hold large-scale offline events such as fan gatherings.

However, Li Can had almost no experience with fan meetings like this.

"Ah this."

My reluctance to participate isn't due to any issues with the fans; it's purely because I'm lazy.

But Li Can also knew that such events would need to be held once or twice to increase fan loyalty.

Add some interaction, so that people don't feel like their favorite artist is a dead person.

Hoping for a lucky break, Li Can made a phone call to Wang Yongchang.

"Beep beep. Beep."

"."

"."

After the call connected, the two remained silent for three seconds, an eerie silence that followed.

Three seconds later, Old Wang's voice came through, and you could tell from his voice that his face was very dark.

"explain."

"."

Li Can pursed his lips and tentatively opened his mouth.

"Old Wang, do we really have to hold this fan meeting? I don't really want to go out and about, I just want to stay home."

"."

Old Wang fell silent.

Having worked together for so long, Lao Wang naturally understood some of Li Can's tactics.

such as
After returning from a long trip, I'll definitely be stuck in a daze for a few days, lying on the sofa in the office, letting the cold wind blow on me, just spacing out.

But this time it really didn't work.

However, Old Wang had some experience in persuading Li Can.

After coughing twice, Old Wang spoke "weakly".

"Ah Chan, I'm about to die."

"."

Li Can's eyelids twitched violently.

"Before I die, I have only this one small wish, and you can't even grant it to me?"

"."

Li Can's eyelids twitched rapidly.

"you win!"

Before Lao Wang could reply, Li Can spoke first, his tone full of complaints.

"This is only for this time. If there is a next time, I will order a high-end wreath and send it to your home, and I will also find a suona master to play the Great Compassion Mantra on his saxophone downstairs."

"Cough cough cough!!"

On the other end of the phone, Old Wang blushed.

He imitated Li Can's tone and spoke.

"whee."

"?"

Before Li Can could explode, Lao Wang immediately spoke up, leaving no room for silence. His lips moved slurred and swore, and even through the phone, you could almost see Lao Wang lying on the bed, his body stiff and his three fingers raised.

"I understand, Ah-Can, you're the best. This is the last time. If it happens again, you don't even need to send a wreath, I'll just die right here!"

"."

What else can be said?
Li Can's eyebrows twitched to their maximum, and faint blue veins appeared on his forehead.

"Okay, what should I be careful about? I've never experienced this before."

"Don't worry, the company that organizes fan meetings is very experienced. You just need to attend. I've arranged everything and will guide you through it all."

"Alright, then explain in detail?"

Old Wang began to explain the process of the fan meeting to Li Can.

But those who haven't experienced it won't have any room for imagination; whether their understanding is distorted or not, only Li Can himself knows. "Who were the attendees?"

"Your three core fan group owners, some administrators, and fans who were drawn by lottery, carefully selected more than 300 people."

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

"That's enough for you. This is already the most carefully selected one. Ah-chan, don't be so ignorant about your reputation."

"Okay, Lao Wang, please continue."

"."

Old Wang took a deep breath to calm himself down and continued speaking.

"There are also core fans on social media platforms, such as the moderators and administrators of Baidu Tieba, like the Li Can Tieba, the Devil Power Band Tieba, the Postmodern Abstract Art Tieba, the Brainless Tieba, the Wise Tieba, the Foolish Tieba, and the Egypt Tieba."

"You fucking... wait, wait, what?"

"."

At this point, neither of them could hold back anymore.

Old Wang repeated it again, holding back his words.

Many bar names seem insignificant at first glance, but when you say them aloud, they sound a bit strange.

"No, these really exist? I always thought it was just a meme."

"Yes, Ah-chan, yes."

"."

Li Can took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and continued to inquire.

"anything else?"

"There are also some internet communities, such as the gaming section where there are music-related fans, content creators (UPs), and seriously ill patients in the 'serious illness' section."

"."

None of them are human.

Lee Chan couldn't even imagine what it would feel like to attend the fan meeting.

This doesn't seem to be a fan meeting in the conventional sense.

Is Star Media Entertainment's experience truly reliable?

"Okay, then I'll get ready?"

"Get ready, dress up nicely to greet the guests."

"?"

"Respect your fans! Respect your fans!"

"Okay, I'll send you a wreath as soon as I've finished showing respect to my fans."

“Some segments from the fan meeting will be edited and posted online for fans who can’t attend. You really need to be mindful of your image.”

I'll deliver it to you right now!

blah blah blah!

Old Wang promptly hung up the phone.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, so there was no need to listen to Li Can's continued counterattack.

When Li Can finally put the phone down, the veins on his forehead were clearly visible.

"Why has Old Wang changed like this?"

Li Can sighed, only able to lament that people change.

But since things have come to this, I can only go back and tell my buddies, and start preparing for the upcoming fan meeting.

That evening, everyone gathered at the studio.

A silent rumble, a quiet deafening roar.

They didn't look up, as if they were engaged in profound philosophical thinking.

After an unknown amount of time.

Lin Feng slowly raised his head, and asked with an expression of disbelief that he could never believe it in his life.

"You mean, our fans are idiots, wise men, morons, postmodern abstract art, Egyptians?"

"."

The others did not react at all.

All that could be heard was Lin Feng speaking in a dry voice.

"So, our fan gathering is actually just a team-building activity for the ward of serious patients?"

"."

Li Can slightly raised his eyes and nodded with difficulty.

".Um!"

"Actually, I had prepared myself mentally for this long ago, but when the day actually came, I still couldn't accept it."

Zhao Ze looked up, wiped his face with his hand, and was filled with mixed feelings.

For every gain, there is a loss.

DP band is unlikely to have any idol baggage in their lives.

"But the problem is, in our band, only Chan is truly abstract. How are we supposed to deal with this kind of fan?"

"Just treat these kinds of fans the same way you usually treat Chan-ge."

"One Li Can is driving me crazy, what about more than three hundred Li Cans? Why don't you just kill me outright?"

"Stop joking, Feng-ge. To outsiders, you and Can-ge are pretty much the same."

The silence was gradually broken.

But what followed was a flurry of laughter, roars, bulging veins and gloating, a simultaneous questioning of life and the notion that this was how it should be.

"Hehe, forget about it. Egypt or whatever, we're already in this state, how much more shrewd can we be?"

Li Can smiled brightly.

Despite his outstanding appearance, no one found him handsome.

"Let yourself go and express yourself freely!"

"."

I don't know.

at the same time.

After receiving confirmation of the DP band's fan meeting.

The various figures and their respective factions also fell silent, having previously been excited.

In a certain group voice chat, there was an eerie silence for a long time, with only a faint crackling sound of electricity passing by.

Until a voice came out.

"Oh no, they actually agreed. I thought it wouldn't work."

How do you deal with bands like DP?

"I don't know, the fourth brother has already started a thread on the forum to ask."

What are people saying?

"Everyone suggested taking more sleeping pills to improve sleep quality and stop dreaming so much."

"The fourth brother asked using his alt account."

Li Can didn't know what to do at the fan meeting.

This sounds like something only the guys on Tieba would know.

Abstractions on the internet are abstractions.

But nobody knows what will happen offline.

For less successful artists, it's not so bad. In order to increase fan loyalty, they are eager to increase interactive content and hold fan meetings frequently, mainly to fleece their fans.

But Li Can is different. Neither Li Can nor DP needs to rely on fan meetings to fleece fans. Even the most of their works on the platform are from free channels. They already have an absurd income from just the superficial monetization of traffic and channel fees. Stable operation is enough. There is no need to exhaust the resources.

In addition, Li Can's fans are not exactly serious fans. There are many enthusiastic core fans, but they are not really interested in fan meetings and the fan culture.

This is just great.

My head is numb.

Fortunately, the guys on Tieba still have the skills.

Although I felt a little uneasy and didn't know what to do for a moment.

However, their organizational and planning abilities are still very strong.

"Okay, everyone go back and tell the group members who participated in the fan meeting not to let themselves go too much. We'll see how things go on. I'm willing to believe that Li Can is down-to-earth and can get along with us, but we can't be too rude."

"Yes, yes, abstract art is just for fun. If we really want to know what we like, we should look at the artwork itself. Let's try to increase the interaction between the artworks."

"I designed some grouping and order rules based on the activities arranged by Star Media Entertainment. Everyone, please remember to be polite and orderly, and don't let things get too chaotic."

Both sides were somewhat uneasy.

But the date of the meeting is getting closer.
