Li Mu has had the consciousness since the day he was reborn. As long as it hasn't appeared yet, he can take it out and regard it as his own. Although he feels a little sorry for future generations, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Who allowed him to be reborn
Compared with those in later generations who plagiarized and claimed to be original, I was much more shameless than them.
Therefore, Li Mu decided to openly acknowledge the so-called originality of this song, and then suddenly thought of another folk song that he liked very much.
Logically speaking, it would have to wait many years for it to come out, but Li Mu really liked it so much that he really wanted to record this song when he had such a recording opportunity.
So, Li Mu said to Zhang Kexuan: "I also have an original song, and I just want to take this opportunity. Could you please help me record it too."
Li Muyi said that he had another original song, and the four members of the band and Chen Wan were all in high spirits.
Zhang Kexuan asked hurriedly: "What style is it?"
"ballad."
"Okay, let's get started!"
The prelude of this song sung by Li Mu uses the simplest decomposed chords little by little. It feels like Lao Lang's song "My Deskmate", which is easily created by combining the harmonica with the simplest and most unsophisticated decomposed chords. A melodious and touching folk classic.
Therefore, when they heard the very simple opening of Li Mu's song, the four members of the band finally heaved a sigh of relief. The intro of this song didn't seem to be outstanding at first, and it was much inferior to the Zebra song just now.
However, after breaking down the chords in one bar, Li Mu simply laid the foundation for a real melody line prelude with a melodious hum. In this way, it was like the harmonica in the prelude of "My Deskmate", with a melodious and refined feeling. Came out immediately.
The expressions of the four of them became tense again, except for Chen Wan, who now had one expression on her face - obsession.
After the prelude, Li Mu sang softly: "When you get old, your hair turns gray, and you feel sleepy..."
The five people were stunned by this voice, and even their bodies became quite stiff.
This song "When You Get Old" was well-known to almost everyone in the previous life. Different people have very different feelings when listening to this song. Some people will think of themselves and their loved ones growing old together, while others will think of it. Thinking of my already old parents.
Li Mu is the latter. This song always reminds him of his parents. In his previous life, his parents worked hard for him and grew old at a speed that caught him off guard. Therefore, whenever he hears this song, Li Mu's eyes will wet with tears. An old man in his thirties would sometimes hide from everyone and shed a few tears of guilt.
Because this song touched my heart so much, it became popular all over the country that year. It was also covered by countless well-known singers and became popular all over the country.
Therefore, he wanted to sing this song so much that even while singing, his eyes became wet with tears just like he did in the previous life.
Li Mu sang this song for five minutes, and within one minute, Chen Wan burst into tears.
After singing for about two minutes, the four members of the band seemed to have red eyes.
If you simply let them listen to this song, they may not be so emotional. But when a person sings this song in front of them with pure emotions, it is difficult for them not to be affected.
Chen Wan just cried, which really made me pity her. She choked with sobs and asked Li Mu: "I really want to see the lyrics somewhere, but I can't remember them at the moment."
Li Mu smiled slightly and explained: "The lyrics are adapted from a poem by William Butler Yeats. The name of the poem is When-you-are-old, when you are old."
Zhang Kexuan asked: "Did you write the music yourself?"
"Yes." Li Mu nodded, agreeing as a matter of course.
Although Zhang Kexuan's musical attainments are average, he still has a good vision. He said seriously: "If there is a chance for your two songs to be released as a single album, they should be very marketable."
Li Muxiao asked: "Do you think there is still a market for records?"
"Ah?" Zhang Kexuan asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
Li Mu shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
The recording industry has always lacked copyright protection in China. From its birth to its decline, it has always been plagued by piracy. Moreover, in the future, after the popularization of the Internet, the popularization of the MP3 format, and the popularization of MP3 software and hardware, the traditional recording industry will decline rapidly regardless of genuine piracy. , which evolved into the rise of pirated digital music.
Nowadays, many audition websites have emerged and attracted the love of a considerable number of users, such as Real2000. User demand has not really risen yet, and the current user distribution is very scattered.
The well-known search engine Baidu will launch MP3 search and download next year, and will only open the download of unlicensed songs to users with Chinese domestic IP. It will gather most of the trial download users in a short period of time, and it can be said to be a pioneer in infringement.
Its attitude towards MP3 infringement will remain very firm in the next few years. Even in the face of complaints from major record companies, it will try its best to retain its MP3 search and download business. The reason is simple. Once the MP3 is played Once mobile phones start to support MP3 playback, the market demand will rapidly expand to an unimaginable level. Whether it is downloading or online listening, it will rise rapidly.
By then, every large Internet company in China will launch its own music listening and downloading business, and all of them will be involved in infringement issues.
If we build an MP3 listening download website now, and make a good layout and gather users before the market heats up, we will definitely be able to cultivate an extremely large project.
Li Mu thought of this and suddenly had an idea. Now he starts to build a trial listening website and intercepts future users of Baidu MP3 half a year in advance. It will definitely have a great impact on Baidu. For a search engine, no one needs it more than them now. Users in this area need more user retention and more need to cultivate user stickiness.
Digital copyright will not really be proposed until after 2005. The law is not perfect enough. The cost and risk of infringement are very low, but the market is huge. The arguments and disagreements about copyright and related laws and regulations in this area will continue for a long time. It will take another ten or eight years for implementation to actually begin.
Nowadays, there are also websites on the Internet. It doesn’t take too long to build a trial website now. It takes a year and a half. If the daily traffic can reach one million or more, you can extort Baidu’s money.
It will be kept in my hands until 2003 or 2004 at the latest. When the copyright issue has just begun to receive a little attention, it will be timely to take action or transform, that's it!
Li Mu made up his mind and glanced at Zhang Kexuan, his heart racing rapidly.
These four people are all the second generation of rich people. It would be perfect to capture them and let them help him promote and operate the audition website.
However, how can we capture the hearts of the rich second generation who are both rich and arrogant
After thinking for a moment, Li Mu suddenly said to Zhang Kexuan: "By the way, I also have a fast song. The lyrics and music have been written now, but it is not very suitable for my personal style. It is very rhythmic and the melody is easy to remember. Are you interested? If so, I can authorize you to use it to compete."
Zhang Kexuan's eyes straightened when he looked at Li Mu: "Li Mu, no, Brother Mu, are you telling the truth?"
The drummer stopped pretending: "Brother Mu, you are right. I am showing off my wealth by playing so many cymbals. You are a professional. Don't be like me..."
Li Mu captured the hearts of this group of people with just one sentence.
Li Mu is not sure why the second generation of rich people play rock and roll, but one thing that is certain is that it is not for money. If they want to make money from this, the brains of these four brothers will definitely be kicked by donkeys.
If not for money, what else can we do for, ideals? Not quite. face? part.
I'm afraid the most important thing is to create a unique style that impresses people, especially girls.
If the level of Zhang Kexuan and others were to be compared nationwide, they would not necessarily be comparable to a high school band. Yes, they would definitely not be comparable. Hua'er Band released their first album in 1999. If the four of them It will probably take a few years to come up with an album on the level of "Flowers".
So, when Li Mu said he was willing to give them a song to participate in the band competition, they regarded Li Mu as a god.
It's like a bunch of hard-working people who are still trying to make fire with wood. When they see an amazing expert take out two different high-quality Zippo lighters and light cigarettes twice, although they don't dare to expect others to give themselves an exquisite one. A lighter, but just throwing a box of matches can make a few of my brothers cry.
"Brother Mu, tell me, what are the conditions!"
Li Mu pinched his chin, thinking that since it had been delivered to his door, he shouldn't be polite.
"Actually, there are no conditions, just a transfer fee of 20,000 yuan, plus help me run a music website in the future. If it goes well, I will give you another song. If it goes very well, I will directly give you three songs. Let you release an EP."
