When Li Yi posted on Weibo, "Qili Xiang" was also released on the three major music platforms.
Blue Star's copyright awareness is slightly better than that of Earth, and listeners are more willing to pay for songs. Some unknown musicians can barely support themselves through music.
Li also adopts a free listening model for members.
The music platform will pay royalties every month based on the song’s playback volume, comments, shares and other data.
Of course, this copyright fee is not the astronomical figure that everyone imagines.
"Xiaochou" has exploded across the Internet. Although it is still not showing signs of decline, the combined copyright fees of the three major platforms in July are not expected to exceed seven figures, and will become lower and lower in the future.
For Li Yi, the bigger income comes from traffic. For example, he can now earn between ten and two hundred thousand by singing "Xiaochou" in a business. His film and television and variety show remuneration has increased to a certain extent.
In fact, at the beginning, Li also planned to make the songs free directly, without paying for them or being a member to listen.
He thinks this will help the song become more popular.
But Zhang Lei persuaded him.
Free listening to songs will destroy the entire music market. Big-name singers can also make money from copyrights, commercial performances, concerts, etc.
But those young singers will not be able to survive, their creative passion will be greatly reduced, they will not be able to make money from music, and there will be fewer and fewer good works, falling into a bad cycle.
Naturally, Li Yi couldn't just do self-interested things, so he chose such a compromise method after thinking about it.
...
As soon as "Qilixiang" was released, it quickly climbed up the list of new songs and popularity charts.
Although these lists have a lot of moisture due to the prevalence of the traffic economy, their gold content is no longer high.
But Li Yi did not brush up, relying entirely on the audience to rush forward.
And "Qilixiang" climbed the charts even faster than "Xiaocou" at the time!
"'Qilixiang' is such a good name!"
"This song is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than I expected. I love it!"
"As soon as the wind blew in the prelude, I felt as if I was instantly immersed in the coolness. This song is invincible to me personally in terms of lyrics and arrangement."
"It's really wonderful to turn on the air conditioner, eat watermelon, read novels, and listen to "Qili Xiang"!"
""Qilixiang" will be my eternal memory of summer."
"Ahhh, I really want to die in the prelude!"
With almost a refresh, the comment area of "Qili Xiang" instantly had dozens of comments.
Everyone has been looking forward to this unknown song for a long time, and most of them are even worried that their expectations will be disappointed.
Because there are so many songs nowadays, you can only listen to one or two lines of the whole song.
No one would have thought that this song would be even better than expected.
In addition to major music platforms, Weibo is also very lively.
[Li Yi's new song "Qili Xiang"], this topic ranked first on the hot search list less than an hour after the song was released.
Some videos on Douyin have also changed to new BGM - from Li Yi's a cappella singing to the full version of "Qili Xiang".
Suddenly, the Internet seemed to be full of the smell of "Qili Xiang".
In some shopping malls, Li Yi's voice of "It rains all night" can often be heard.
…
The day after the release of "Qili Xiang", Li Yi finally stepped out of the house and went to Stone Music Studio.
He made an appointment with Zhou Siwen to audition.
At the door of Stone Music Studio, Li Yi finally met his "group" member Zhou Siwen, one of the twin stars.
Zhou Siwen's appearance can only be described as delicate, with big eyes, very thin, and a height of about 1.7 meters.
Although he just graduated from the Beijing Conservatory of Music last year, it has been a year since his debut, but the overall impression is still very young, and there is even a trace of clear stupidity in his eyes.
You can understand it if you think about it, otherwise how could Ye Jie be able to deceive him?
"Brother Yi!"
"It's so hot outside. Just wait inside. I made an agreement with them."
Zhou Siwen kept wiping his sweat, and Li Yi hurriedly took him in.
It's interesting to say that because of "Three Meals a Day", more and more people are calling him "Yi Geer" now, and the staff of the program crew all call him that.
Zhou Siwen used to call him brother, but he didn't use the pronunciation of "er".
When I entered the recording studio and saw Ye Yaodong, after saying hello, Zhou Siwen was looking around, with longing in his eyes.
The name of the stone is nothing less than a holy place for a young singer like him.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's the quality of the songs I received. There's no need to come to a place like this, it's a complete waste.
"What are you looking at? Go inside and audition. You don't have to sing your own songs. You can sing whichever song you feel comfortable singing."
Hearing Li Yi's words, Zhou Siwen was a little confused, but he soon realized something.
'Could it be that Brother Yi wants to write a song for me? '
He hurriedly walked into the studio, closed his eyes, suppressed his excitement, adjusted himself, and sang a song he usually ordered in KTV.
"Change a song that best reflects your characteristics."
"Sing something higher."
"low."
Outside the studio, Li Yi, who was wearing monitoring headphones, kept giving instructions. Until he felt it was enough, he signaled Zhou Siwen to stop and rest.
Ye Yaodong took off his monitoring headphones and praised: "The voice talent is very good, the foundation is also very solid, the falsetto is excellent, given some time, I will definitely become a top singer."
He still had something to say in his mind, "I can sing much better than you."
Needless to say, Ye Yaodong also knew that Li Yi himself did not belittle himself. After all, he was a wild man.
However, Zhou Siwen's vocal cord function is indeed much better than Li Yi's, and his vocal range is wider than Li Yi's.
Zhou Siwen's vocal cords are relatively "thin", and he can sing the "female voice" well in falsetto without appearing abrupt or short.
This reminded Li Yi of a singer from Earth, Zhou Shen.
However, if Zhou Siwen doesn't use falsetto, he will have a very normal male voice, which is a bit like the ultimate version of Li Yugang.
"Siwen, come out and drink some water first."
After Li Yi said hello, he frowned in thought.
After Zhou Siwen drank the water, he saw Li Yi frowning, and his heart started to lift, thinking that Li Yi didn't have a song suitable for him.
Li Yi frowned, but Zhou Siwen's voice could sing too many songs, and he didn't know which song to give to Zhou Siwen.
'How about releasing an album directly? '
Li Yi was a little frightened by his own thoughts. He had just become the "boss" and he was trying so hard to save his life?
This was the reason why he was unwilling to accept shares before.
After all, half of the company belongs to you, so you will definitely want to do more.
But Li Yi quickly convinced himself.
It’s no longer popular to release albums now. The Internet age is changing rapidly and traffic comes and goes quickly. Most singers only release singles and not albums.
After thinking about it, Li Yi made a decision, looked for it on his phone, and sent Ye Yaodong a copy of the lyrics, "Brother Dong, please print out the lyrics for me."
Zhou Siwen leaned over and took a look. The title of the song was "The Wind Rises."
