At the same time, inside the hotel.
After listening to Jiang Zhe's story about the re-examination, Gao Fu and Huang Bo couldn't help but admire Jiang Zhe's quick wit.
"By the way, what are you planning to do next?"
"Should you continue to take on the role, or should you wait until the TV series is aired?"
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gao Rui asked curiously.
After all, Jiang Zhe is different from Huang Bo. As long as he is willing to join the crew, he will definitely have more opportunities than Huang Bo.
Jiang Zhe also hesitated when he heard this.
Before coming to the capital, he originally just wanted to use this time to find a backer.
Now the art exam is settled, but it will take more than half a month to wait for the results to come out.
Furthermore, even if the results are announced, there is still only half a year before the start of school.
And if he was asked to do nothing during this period and just wait, Jiang Zhe wouldn't be able to sit still.
So after pondering for a moment, Jiang Zhe finally couldn't help but said:
"I'm not in a hurry to take on the role, but...do you know where I can record a record?"
"I wrote a song and I want to give it a try by releasing an album. Do you have any ideas?"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Bo and Gao Rui were stunned.
But they didn't expect to hear such an unexpected answer.
For a while, the two of them naturally asked a few more questions out of curiosity.
What else could Jiang Zhe say? He could only awkwardly say that he was heartbroken, and he wrote a song out of emotion. He didn't know why.
(⊙o⊙)…Well, I have to say, this reason is very strong.
After hearing this, Huang Bo and Gao Rui immediately had no doubts at all, and patted his shoulders with emotion without asking for any details.
When it comes to singing, Huang Bo is much more professional than Gao Fu.
After all, compared to acting, Huang Bo's singing career is very long.
Although he looks "full of earthy", Huang Bo actually comes from a family of intellectuals and grew up in a government compound.
It was only when it was his turn that the seedling began to grow crookedly.
But Huang Bo does have some singing talent, and he started performing in song and dance halls when he was in junior high school.
When he was in high school, Huang Bo became one of the first singers in Qilu's karaoke hall. He also formed a group called "Blue Wind Sand", performed across the country, and worked as a dance coach for 7 years.
He worked in the Guangzhou music scene and hung out in Sanlitun bars.
Let's put it this way, when he was hanging out in major bars in the capital, Zhou Xun, Sha Baoliang, Pu Shu and others had not yet become famous, and they often bumped into each other behind bars.
But later they all became popular, but Huang Bo still had no improvement.
Huang Bo was so shocked that he began to develop into an actor.
However, despite this, Huang Bo has not completely given up singing.
After all, he still relies on the money from singing in bars to live on!
Therefore, after listening to Jiang Zhe's general thoughts, Huang Bodang patiently explained:
"If you only have one song, it's impossible to release an album. At best, you can only release a single!"
"Of course, if you're willing to spend money to collect a few songs to make one, that's fine."
Speaking of this, Huang Bo couldn't help but pause slightly, and then he said solemnly:
"But no matter which one it is, the money spent is not a small amount!"
"It's okay if a record company takes a fancy to you. They will have to worry about production costs and channels!"
“But if you want to pay for it yourself, the costs and risks involved will be huge!”
After all, for a self-financed album, the record company will only produce it, but will not pay for the stocking.
As for sharing sales channels, don’t even think about it!
So when Huang Bo finished speaking, Jiang Zhe immediately fell silent.
He didn't know the record company or anything.
Besides, what if they knew each other?
There are many singers who want to sign contracts with record companies, but they may not be able to like him.
Not to mention spending money on him and betting on something that even Jiang Zhe himself is not sure about!
After all, in his situation, it looks like he is just playing tricks.
So after thinking about it again and again, Jiang Zhe found that he seemed to have the only option to pay for it at his own expense.
But at this point, the problem comes back again.
money!
Whether it is production, stocking, or even terminal sales, money is inseparable.
As for pirated albums, there is no need to think about it for the time being.
So the more he thought about it, the more headache Jiang Zhe got, so he simply confessed his original intention.
I saw him saying with a helpless smile:
"I actually didn't want to make a hit album and make a fortune selling records."
"I just want to test the waters and see how good this song is. If I can get some commercial performances based on this song, that would be great!"
Seeing Jiang Zhe's simple thoughts, Huang Bo suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Even Gao Rui felt that Jiang Zhe was going too far and couldn't help but laugh for a moment.
However, Jiang Zhe talked about this, and Huang Bo felt relaxed.
"Since you don't have any ideas about selling records, I have an idea."
I saw him first taking out his mobile phone and playing with it a few times, and then played a song.
"Have you heard of "Lilacs"?"
"I know, this song has become very popular recently, how could I not have heard it!"
Seeing Jiang Zhe say this, Huang Bo immediately smiled proudly and said:
"Okay, you know best."
"I think you might as well take the "Lilac" route."
“Save money, save trouble, and the risk is low!”
After that, he didn't continue to talk about it, but simply explained the reason to the two of them.
It is said that before the rise of the Internet, most singers had to rely on companies to release songs.
But in 2001, when the flash version of the animated MTV "People in the Northeast Are All Lively Lei Feng" became popular due to the Internet, many grassroots musicians began to pay attention to the Internet.
After all, they have no money, so they seem to be quite suitable for this way of releasing songs.
It's just that most of the imitators failed and didn't cause much splash.
It was not until the end of last year that "Lilac" quickly became popular on the Internet, making Tang Lei, a newcomer in the IT field, become a well-known singer in an instant. Many musical talents were completely convinced that this way of releasing songs on the Internet was indeed feasible!
So this year someone tried to upload a rap song "University Study Room".
Unexpectedly, the response to this joke song turned out to be quite good.
"Think about it, there are now 70 to 80 million Internet users in China."
"Even if only one-third of the Internet users have listened to your song, that's still only 20 million. Isn't this as effective as being on any TV station?"
"Some singers may be very popular, but there may not be 20 million people who have listened to her songs!"
Huang Bo, who calls himself a musician, is professional when talking about these things.
But he is indeed quite powerful, at least that's what Jiang Zhe thinks.
Anyway, after listening to Huang Bo's idea, Jiang Zhe immediately decided to do this.
There is no way, this method is simply tailor-made for him, it is so suitable!
The most important thing is to spend less money, this is the most important!
Of course, saving money is money, and you still have to spend money where it should be spent.
For example, the MV for the song "Fairy Tale" is a part that requires money.
After all, it is really difficult for a newcomer like Jiang Zhe, who has been in the industry for less than a year, to shoot a music short film!
Apart from anything else, Jiang Zhe doesn't know how to light, move the camera, or coordinate.
The only thing he could come up with was a MV script in the form of a story.
And when things got down to this point, things became simpler.
"This is easy to handle. I know a senior who is also from Nortel."
"He specializes in shooting music videos for others. All the singers in Beijing know him."
"If you want to shoot a MV, you are right to find him!"
I saw Huang Bo directly patting his chest and promising:
"Don't worry, we are all one of our own, he will definitely not trick you!"
In an instant, Jiang Zhe realized for the first time that his identity as a Nortel student seemed to have many conveniences that he could not see...
