The next day was Saturday.
Lin Yuan arrived at the company's composition department at nine o'clock.
After entering the room, he found that the eyes of his colleagues around him were not right.
Wu Yong approached mysteriously and asked Lin Yuan in a low voice: "Do you know Father Yang?"
"who?"
"Senior Yang Zhongming!"
"I know him." Lin Yuan had heard Yang Zhongming's works.
Wu Yong heaved a sigh of relief: "No wonder he wasn't angry. If they knew each other, it would make sense..."
Lin Yuan did not dwell on Wu Yong's words.
Wu Yong would never know that Lin Yuan's understanding of "knowledge" was completely different from his understanding of the word.
At this time Zhou Ruiming came. He seemed to be a little happy today. As soon as he entered the door, he said:
"Lin Yuan, come to my office."
"Um."
Lin Yuan followed the other party into the office.
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Sit down first."
Lin Yuan nodded and sat on the sofa in the office.
Lao Zhou took out a form and said, "Take a look at this."
Lin Yuan took the form.
The table lists four songs under Lin Yuan's name, and after the songs is a series of download numbers.
"Born Like Summer Flowers" has been downloaded 3.33 million times.
"Big Fish" has been downloaded 5.01 million times.
"Flammable and Explosive" has 4.21 million downloads.
"Balloon" has been downloaded 3.57 million times.
Lin Yuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when the salary was paid yesterday, the share of the song's profit exceeded 600,000, which was very rare.
It turned out that the download volume of my previous songs had been steadily increasing, and the speed of increase even exceeded that of the month when the songs were first released.
"I believe you already knew that."
Lao Zhou said excitedly, "In the past few months, the songs you wrote have great potential. The download volume has been steadily increasing, and most of them have the potential to break through 10 million. This morning, when I saw this data sheet sent by the department below, I was shocked by you!"
Lin Yuan: “…”
He didn't know because he wasn't paying attention.
However, he learned a lesson from the trend changes in song downloads.
Seasonal results are not everything. It’s just because some songs are suitable for charting and some are not. What really determines the value of a song is not the results of a single season, but the subsequent potential of a song!
This is determined by the overall environment of Qinzhou.
A large number of excellent new songs appear every month. Except for industry professionals and some music enthusiasts, no one can keep an eye on the changes in the charts all the time.
Many people may only listen to songs from a few seasons ago a few months later and add them to their playlists.
For some songs, the number of downloads in that month may directly exceed five million, or even ten million, and they are simply invincible in the charts.
But in the following months, the number of downloads of these songs stagnated.
For some songs, the number of downloads may only be a few hundred thousand that month, but can easily exceed one million or even tens of millions later!
Take Lin Yuan’s “Balloon” as an example.
This song was released in February and had the highest number of downloads among Lin Yuan's songs that month.
But by March, the number of downloads of this song seemed to have not increased at all.
This shows that there are some songs that listeners like to listen to in the short term, but after listening to them for a long time, they will get bored.
This type of song is relatively suitable for charting and has a strong short-term freshness.
Even "Balloon" was not that impressive in the charts. It relied more on the balloon challenge that was launched on the Weibo hot search.
The audience in Qinzhou is overwhelmed by the massive amount of new songs released every month.
A month is not enough. It may take them longer to know which song is their favorite.
Moreover, Qinzhou music has another rule:
For each song, you can listen to it for free five times every month.
Under such rules, there will inevitably be some free parties.
Because for some people, even if they like a song, they don’t have to spend money to download it. Five free listening opportunities every month are enough.
How many times a month do you listen to your favorite songs
Those who are willing to download it either really like the song or don’t care about the small amount of money at all.
so.
In the twelve seasons of Qinzhou Music Chart, it is rare to see a song's download volume explode to a certain level in the first month of its release, unless the song is really good to the point of being incredible, which is different from Earth.
“Four.”
Lao Zhou stared at Lin Yuan and said, "As long as you have another song with over a million downloads, you can become a senior composer, which means you will be the new ace of the composing department on the tenth floor!"
There is one more thing that Lao Zhou didn’t say.
That is, if Lin Yuan becomes a senior composer this year, he will be the youngest trump card in the entire Starlight.
Lin Yuan nodded.
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, go and get busy first. By the way, I have a piece of news for you. The company has also been paying attention to you recently. This will be very beneficial to your future."
"Um."
Lin Yuan stood up.
When he reached the door, he heard Lao Zhou making a phone call: "Yang Zhongming is back from Qizhou. I plan to send someone over."
"… "
Send people to Qizhou
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yuan left.
Returning to his seat, Lin Yuan thought silently:
I’m only one song away from becoming the ace. Do you want to go for it now
Anyway, I didn’t release any songs last month, so that counts as a month’s break, right
And only by becoming the ace can you get a higher share.
This is what Zhao Jue said, and it was very tempting to Lin Yuan.
So, on the way back to school in the evening, Lin Yuan finally made a decision.
He was walking on the way to school, took out his cell phone and called Sun Yaohuo.
Sun Yaohuo answered the phone quickly. He always answered Lin Yuan's calls in seconds, and the first thing he said was:
"Brother, what do you need me to do?"
"Come to the company to record songs after a while." Lin Yuan said.
He plans to give "Red Rose" to Sun Yaohuo. This is the last song in his hands and is very suitable for increasing downloads. Sun Yaohuo's vocal conditions can also handle this song.
"What?"
Sun Yaohuo thought he had heard wrongly.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "0.5 percent."
After saying that, Lin Yuan hung up the phone, leaving no room for the other party to negotiate the price.
"… "
Sun Yaohuo was walking on the street at this time. When he suddenly heard the news, he was stunned for several seconds.
It was not until Lin Yuan hung up the phone and a series of busy tones came from the phone that he came to his senses and understood what Lin Yuan had just said.
"Alas!"
He suddenly looked delighted, almost dancing with joy, and almost threw his phone away: "I'm going to be famous again!"
The streets are crowded with people.
But Sun Yaohuo didn't care, and had fun on the street, even singing happily: "I am this dazzling moment, the instantaneous flame across the sky..."
People around him quickly avoided him.
A little girl passing by asked in surprise: "Mom, what happened to this uncle?"
The girl's mother sighed, her face full of emotion: "Life has forced you into this situation. You must study hard in the future so that you won't be like him when you grow up."
"oh."
The girl nodded, not quite understanding.
