Yao Yuan took Yu Jiajia on his scooter and headed to Youxi Bar in Liangmaqiao.
Yu Jiajia complained all the way: "You are simply sick. If you have a car, you have to ride a motorcycle. Are you addicted to driving? I don't have big breasts."
"Don't tell me, I'm really addicted after riding it for a few days. Hey, I can sell your car to me."
"With the license plate and the car, one hundred thousand!"
"Why don't you go and grab it? Three thousand at most."
Yao Yuanzhen didn't just say it casually, he decided to take some time to get a motorcycle driver's license, get a Beijing A license plate, wear big pants and wander around the city.
This is called low-key.
Soon he arrived at the door of the bar. He tilted the front of the car and made a failed swerve. He was about to overturn the car, but fortunately he stretched out his long legs and propped himself on the ground.
Yu Jiajia warned: "There is a party today, and there are all big names in it. If you want to collect songs, you have to rely on them. Of course, you have always been good at talking, I just remind you again."
“Understand, understand!”
Entering this bar owned by Zang Tianshuo, it was still bustling inside.
Secondhand Rose was singing on the stage. Diplodocus looked normal today, singing Northeastern duo rock. Near the stage, a large TV was newly installed, and a group of guys headed by Zang Tianshuo gathered there and were having a good chat.
"Reporter Yu!"
"Come on, come on, long time no see!"
"Hey, they're all here!"
Yu Jiajia smiled and walked over, greeting her familiarly.
Yao Yuan took a look and realized, well, in addition to Zang Tianshuo and Siqingerile, there are also a lot of insiders such as Wang Lepong, Ye Bei, Lao Lang, Xiao Da Jian, Zhang Yadong and so on.
"What day is it today? Is it so lively?"
"Watch the football! The opening game of the World Cup!"
Zang Tianshuo still had a smile on his face. He glanced at Yao Yuan and already forgot who he was. Yao Yuan took out his business card and got to know him again.
"99 Network Company, oh, high technology!"
"It's just a small fight, but I can't compare to you..."
Yao Yuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "It can be said to be half of the Chinese music industry!"
Oh, this tall hat is very comfortable for everyone to wear.
Zang Tianshuo is a dark person who cares about face. When others give him face, he will be polite and immediately pull Yao Yuan over to get to know them formally.
When we arrived at Zhang Yadong, we introduced a short-haired girl next to him.
"Yadong's girlfriend, Gao Yuanyuan."
"Hello."
23-year-old Gao Yuanyuan stretched out her hand with a smile as bright as tea.
Yao Yuandong responded and looked at Zhang Yadong again. The two had been together for 2 years, right? They broke up in 3 years. Zhang Yadong was appointed by Dou Wei's sister Dou Ying, followed by Xu Cairen and Qu Ying.
Who will be the next member of Da Meiyuan?
Xia Yu?
That's not called Yi Ren, it's just a friendship shot, and Xia Yu and Yuan Quan were fooled.
Look at this time again, oh, she should be filming "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" right away...
Gao Yuanyuan had no idea that the man she met for the first time had already spent the first half of her life in her mind. Yao Yuan maintained a commercial fake smile and calmly greeted each one, until the last one...
"Lu Zhongqiang, music producer, worked at Warner Records."
"Hello!"
Yao Yuan's smile became more sincere.
Lu Zhongqiang is in his 30s, has a bit of bald hair, and is not well-known. However, he is quite well-established in the industry and mainly does behind-the-scenes work.
He served as the music director of "The Same Song", made albums for Lao Lang and Ye Bei, and served as a judge on "Super Girl".
Even after Guo Degang became popular, Lu Zhongqiang signed Guo Degang's exclusive digital copyright agency and produced a vocal single "Just Right" for Lao Guo.
Later, I set up an independent music label to promote local folk songs, such as Wan Xiaoli, Shanren Band, and Wild Child Balabala.
Yao Yuan originally came here for Zang Tianshuo and wanted him to help collect the songs.
But when he saw Lu Zhongqiang, his brain suddenly moved, he took the plan into consideration, decisively changed his target, and sat down next to him, and Yu Jiajia also sat down.
Zang Tianshuo's bar is full of friends every day, and he doesn't care if there are a few more. After the interlude, they continue to talk about the World Cup. The opening match between France and Senegal starts at 7:30.
"There is almost no suspense. Although Zidane is injured, there are still Henry, Trezeguet and Cisse, these are the three golden boots. Not to mention Desailly, Djorkaeff and other veterans, they can be said to be veterans.
The three generations of middle-aged and young people have strong soldiers and horses..."
Gaoda, who has been expelled in later generations, adjusted his glasses tightly and pointed out the situation. He looked like a dog but only had a fan.
"There's definitely no suspense, it's just a matter of how many wins!"
"Hey, it's also a question of how many Brazil can win against China."
"It's really not certain. This Chinese team is the strongest in history. We beat Costa Rica, tied with Turkey, and narrowly lost to Brazil. We are definitely going to qualify..."
A group of people were chattering, but Yao Yuan didn't bother to listen and only chatted with Lu Zhongqiang.
“What does your website do?”
"Oh, I'm currently working on a virtual community."
"virtual community?"
Lu Zhongqiang didn't know why.
Yao Yuan is a person who engages in pornographic dating and chatting!
But he had to package himself outside, so he started to lie casually: "There is a theory in sociology called the six degrees of separation theory.
In the 1960s, an American expert conducted an experiment.
He randomly sent letters to some residents, with the name of a Boston stockbroker written in the letter, and asked each recipient to send the letter to a friend he thought was close to the stockbroker.
After the friend received the letter, he sent it to a friend he thought was closer to the stock broker. In the end, most of the letters were sent to the broker, and each letter was handled an average of 6.2 times.
So the theory is that to establish a connection between any two people in the world, it only takes at most 6 people."
Why!
Lu Zhongqiang listened with great interest.
In this barbaric era of the Internet, anyone who makes a casual comment will be considered a powerful person, especially those in traditional industries, because they don’t understand.
It's like listening to Xiao Dajin's "Xiao Shuo". If it doesn't involve your field, you think he is really awesome; once it involves your field, what kind of thing do you think he is?
"The concept of virtual community comes from this, transforming real social networks into virtual social networks..."
Yao Yuanbi gestured and continued: "The functions of my website are constantly being developed. Netizens can chat, make friends, share diaries, and photos here..."
He changed his tone and said: "Currently I am preparing to work on music."
“Can music still be made online?”
"You know the simplest example, mp3? Now the technology is becoming more and more mature. For example, I made a song, converted it into mp3 format, and then uploaded it to the virtual community.
The website has an average of millions of visits every day. Even if one out of ten people clicks on it, hundreds of thousands of people have listened to the song. If I provide free downloads again, fans will definitely flock to the site, and the number of visits can be doubled.
…”
Hiss!
Lu Zhongqiang's heart trembled.
He is a musician with a forward-thinking vision, and his first thought was that it would be very low-cost and easy to spread.
My second thought was, damn, I can’t even control the piracy!
…
The 1990s was the golden age of the mainland music scene, and it was also a time when piracy was rampant.
In 1996, Gao Dagen wrote a song "The Good Wind Sings" for Liu Huan, and piracy was rampant.
The two wanted to ask for an explanation, but they couldn't find the authority in charge, so they had to run to the compound of the General Administration of Publishing. There was no one to receive the big shot with a face as big as one square meter.
Finally, a staff member came out and said, "We can't give people fines, we don't have invoices, and we don't even have the law enforcement team."
no way.
The right path didn't work, so Gao Dajing went directly to negotiate with the pirates. The negotiations were not arrogant, but condescending: "Brother, let us sell for 10 days first. Can we pirate and then go up?"
The other party said confidently: "No, I'll give you 5 days!"
"Five days is not enough to repay the money. If the creator dies, who will pirate it?"
The pirate thought it made sense and said: "Then just one week, you one week, and we will come."
This was the harsh environment at that time. Even today, copyright protection is still a problem, otherwise Guo Xiaosi would have dared to delay his apology for more than ten years?!
There are also online articles, cough cough...
Let’s talk about Internet music.
In the second half of this year, Baidu took the lead in launching a free MP3 download service, and then major online music platforms were established one after another, such as Kugou in 2003, QQ Music and Kuwo in 2005, Xiami in 2006, etc.
Music websites have become popular, and they are all unauthorized. However, these creators suffer, and no one buys the album.
However, it cannot be said that since piracy is rampant now, we should not buy copyrights. This thing is like destiny, it can represent itself as orthodox, and it can be of great use in many cases.
Yao Yuan now half-truthfully told Lu Zhongqiang that he wanted to upload his music to the Internet. In Lu Zhongqiang's eyes, he instantly escalated and turned into a villain like a pirate.
After he finished his bluffing, he smiled and said: "I am a friend of reporter Yu. I asked her to come over today just because I want to get to know you all."
Secondly, when I launch an online music service, I need to accumulate some songs first, whether old or new. You are an authority in the industry and have unique vision. If you are interested, let’s talk in detail.”
After saying that, he greeted Yu Jiajia and others.
Yu Jiajia rolled her eyes the whole time. She originally came to see Zang Tianshuo, but the grandson suddenly changed his plan and targeted Lu Zhongqiang.
At Warner Records, Lu Zhongqiang has access to many new songs every day and has wider resources. Now Yao Yuan is not just collecting songs, he also wants to collaborate in depth.
The two of them greeted Zang Tianshuo, got up and left. No one paid attention, and their attention was on each of them.
Gao Yuanyuan is not interested and only cares about her love for Zhang Yadong's son and daughter. Wang Lepong and Ye Bei are drinking wine, and Lao Lang is silent. There are not enough second-hand rose coffee places, so be careful on the side...
Xiao Dajin knocked on the table as if he were mourning his concubine: "Why did France lose? How did it lose!"
