Songs such as "In Spring" and "Glory" can certainly be purchased through genuine albums, but songs such as "Ordinary Road", "Wild Son", "The Trouble of the Moon", etc., have not been released on genuine cassettes except in Hong Kong and other places.
Apart from the original version, the chance for fans in other regions, especially the mainland, to listen to these songs again is almost zero. Many people can only listen to them through pirated albums or radio broadcasts.
The sound quality of pirated albums is generally not mentioned. For many "green fans", buying pirated albums is more like a sin and an expedient of murdering idols, so there are many who refuse.
And radio on-demand broadcasting is not cost-effective. The revenue from each song is pocketed by major music stations, and no royalties have ever been settled with the copyright owner. Therefore, it is not the best support channel for idols.
.
Therefore, the "Music Network" founded by Li Qing has become a channel for many fans and music lovers to linger.
Here, from "Angel Wings" to "I'll Love You Even If You Die" to "Actor", these genuine songs that have not been disseminated through CD media have all appeared on the music network one by one, and even some are relatively unsophisticated.
Public songs, such as "Sudden Self", "Loyalty to the Country", "My Deskmate" and other songs, can also be found on the "Music Network", which makes all "green fans" unable to help themselves.
Since its establishment, the music network has become the number one music network in China. With the operation of Gu Xiaohong, the music network has gradually begun to develop "diversified", not only Li Qing's songs, but also
Songs by Bao Yunyun, Leng Ling, Hua De'an and even many first-line singers can be found on the music network.
However, these songs do not actually have copyright permission, and most of them are uploaded by "Internet users".
Li Qing was strongly opposed to this approach at the beginning, and he was very worried that he would be complained and reported due to copyright reasons in the future.
But according to Caring Xiaohong’s point of view, first, the country has not published relevant documents on Internet laws.
Second, judging from the current situation, the music network does not use the songs of these singers to make profits. Even if they sue, the winning rate of the other party is basically zero.
Third, and most crucially, the sources of these songs are all uploaded by "Internet users".
In fact, these songs were indeed uploaded by some users with weak copyright awareness. As Gu Xiaohong, the webmaster who founded and operated the music network, after discovering this situation, he neither stopped nor encouraged his arrogance.
Treat this matter as a small transparency and let nature take its course.
The effect of Gu Xiaohong's indifferent attitude soon became apparent. As more and more "Internet users" uploaded more and more songs of other singers, the number of IP visits to "Music Network" also began to surge rapidly.
Until now, the music network has received more than 200,000 IP visits in a single day, and the highest online user record is as high as 600,000!
In the last month of 1998, with the strong inclination of national policies, the scale of the Internet grew rapidly.
Today, the number of installed Internet broadband users has exceeded five million, which means that more than five million households across the country have direct or indirect access to the Internet.
This data is nearly double that of Li Qing’s previous life in 1998!
According to the channel information collected by Hanhai Phantom Technology, under the policy of benefiting the people, Internet users are showing explosive growth every day, especially in the past six months, the growth rate has been like a huge storm.
Many people across the country have also discovered the business opportunities, so Internet cafes have sprung up...
The Phantom Technology "Legend of Hot Blood" team is also ready to go. As long as the peripheral payment model matures, it will promote this online game nationwide...
Although the scale of the Internet is gradually growing, we have noticed that this emerging project can only be said to be in the minority, and we still have a wait-and-see attitude towards this new project.
Therefore, whether it is a music network or Weibo, although there are similar websites, when it comes to the intensity of investment and the level of care, they cannot keep up with the former.
Except for companies like Hanhai, led by Li Qing, who are idle and have nothing to do to investigate market conditions, almost no one across the country has noticed that Internet projects are encroaching on the space of physical projects.
Therefore, no one cares whether the decline in record sales in the music industry is due to the general environment.
Everyone thinks that the reason why the album sales of Bao Yunyun, Wang Weihong and others are lower than expected is all because of the insufficient quality of their records or the lack of strong fan base.
In their eyes, they only saw the dazzling Li Qing, blindly thinking that the market was getting better...
Everyone, whether they are singers, actors or artists from other professions, as long as they have some singing talent, after seeing the figure of 175 million, they have thought of getting involved in the record industry.
As a result, everyone started to prepare for a new album, just like dumplings.
In the phone call from Zhang Zitao, the president of Universal Music Group Hong Kong, in addition to mentioning the sales and share settlement date of Li Qing's album of the same name, he also once again urged Li Qing to go to Hong Kong's "Hung Hom Coliseum" to rehearse the concert project.
The Coliseum is a place that all singers in the Chinese pop music world yearn for. Just like the Taipei Arena, a singer can hold a concert in such a place, which has great influence on the promotion of fame, status, and seniority in the music industry.
Small effect.
Whether it is the Hong Kong Coliseum or the Taipei Arena, when cooperating with others, the singer's popularity level is also very high.
However, in later generations, due to the change of the profit model of the Hong Kong Coliseum, 18th-tier artists could be admitted as long as they paid money, which led to the Coliseum being gradually excluded from the T1 stage.
Not to mention compared with the Little Arena, even the 80,000-person Donghai Stadium in the mainland is far inferior to the style of the Beijing Works Sports Stadium.
But today, the Coliseum is still the place that all singers yearn for.
Li Qing no longer knew how many times he had received calls from Zhang Zitao urging him to do so. At this time, he had finished the key plot of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". After asking Xue Yan about his announcement, he agreed to Zhang Zitao's request.
requirements.
Three days later.
Li Qing took his own artist team and flew to Hong Kong.
This time, Universal Records did not reveal any information about Li Qing's itinerary. Therefore, when Li Qing and others got off the plane, there was not much commotion at the airport, and everyone quickly arrived at Universal Records Hong Kong.
Zhang Zitao had been waiting in front of the headquarters building for a long time. When he saw Li Qing, who was dressed in disguise and covering himself tightly, he couldn't help but be happy, "Li Sheng, you really agreed to what Mr. Wu Cheng'en said."
As the saying goes: Real people don’t show their faces.”
