Li Mu, who breathed a sigh of relief, has been busy these two days.
Although Yiting.com is conducting the final test before its launch, Kong Lingyu leads the team, but Li Mu still needs to keep track of their progress and give advice and suggestions to prevent them from going off track.
As for the design of the page, after communicating with the artist for a whole morning and going through several revisions, it finally met Li Mu's requirements.
In order to cope with the large number of users attracted by Yiting.com, Li Mu asked Kong Lingyu to add new servers and bandwidth. The first step was to be able to handle at least 100,000 people listening to music online at the same time.
In addition, a project manager sent by Chengyu Construction Company, who was responsible for the store decoration, also rushed to Haizhou with two sets of design drawings for Li Mu to choose from. Li Mu chose one and started construction.
In fact, Li Mu has no autonomy when it comes to store decoration. The head office has very detailed requirements for decoration. It has a special decoration standard manual, which has strict requirements from wall to floor tile size, color and even pattern. Shelves, display areas, There are also official templates for cashiers, lighting, etc., and individuals are not allowed to mess around.
Anyway, under the unified standards, the stores all pretended to have the same feeling, so Li Mu didn't interfere much.
The project manager recruited a few more casual workers from the local area, and then led the team to start work. The construction time was from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. It was said that working overtime was the norm in their company. Li Mu naturally felt uncomfortable with this way of working. Very happy.
During the construction of the store, Li Mu had no other request. He just went to an advertising company to order a huge advertising inkjet cloth, which hung directly from the door of his store to the ground. The width also occupied more than half of the entire store.
On the inkjet cloth, in addition to the huge Metersbonwe Logo, there are two cool photos of Guo Tianwang, who is almost 2.5 meters tall. In addition, it also reads in eye-catching fonts: "Metersbonwe Hai". The state store will open soon, so stay tuned.”
After all, it is the most prosperous street. During the past two months of renovation and construction, Li Mu did not want to be busy working and forget about publicity. Now this huge spray-painted cloth is extremely eye-catching and can be seen clearly from a hundred meters away. It's a bit of publicity in advance.
Every young person passing by will be attracted by this huge spray-painted advertisement, and then instantly receive a message that they are looking forward to: Metersbonwe is about to open in Haizhou.
The video of the semi-finals that Jian Jian planned to participate in was scheduled to premiere the night after tomorrow on Nansu Satellite TV, and Yiting.com was also scheduled to be officially launched at 12 o'clock that night, so Li Mu decided to go to Jinling.
Li Mu informed Kong Lingyu in advance that he would lead the technical team to work overtime the night after tomorrow, and subsidize each person three times the overtime pay. At that time, he would go to the office to witness the historical moment of Yiting's launch with everyone.
Later, Li Mu arrived at the rehearsal room of Simple Plan at noon the next day and listened to them rehearse "Old Boy" several times. Zhang Kexuan's control of the artistic conception of his voice was already in place, and the band's cooperation and arrangement also brought this song to life. It was so perfect that Li Mu felt more and more that these four people from Simple Plan had the potential to become famous. It would be great if they could learn to write their own songs in the future.
After listening, Li Mu gave the four people a fair evaluation: "At present, it seems that there is no problem in appearing in the first round of the finals."
The finals are divided into two rounds. In the first round, 18 will advance to 5, and in the last round, 5 will advance to 3 and the champion, second and third place will be selected.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mu and four others rushed into the recording studio and began closed recording.
The recording process is basically to start with the instruments, then the vocals, and then modify and edit them later. Generally speaking, the songs we hear are recorded many times, and then the better parts of the many times are taken out and edited together. Yes, this is a more scientific recording method. Even later, when more and more tone-deaf stars began to release records, basically they could correct the intonation later even if they read the lyrics several times.
The first song Li Mu recorded with Simple Plan was "Li Bai". The instrumentals of this song were recorded three times before the accompaniment was completed. However, Zhang Kexuan's vocals were recorded more than ten times. It was not that his performance was not good enough, but that Li Mu was Strive for excellence.
Listening to the recorded version of a song is very different from watching it live. The live version can naturally ignore some mistakes and deficiencies, but the same cannot be said for the recorded version. It must be foolproof. Every single recorded in the studio , Li Mu strives to be perfect. This is pop music, and it has to face countless people. It is different from niche folk songs like "Zebra Zebra" that he recorded.
"Li Bai" finally met Li Mu's requirements, and then everyone took a break, and then started recording "Sunflower". With the previous experience, Zhang Kexuan's performance in "Sunflower" was much more stable, with five vocals Solve the problem once and for all.
When both songs were finished, and seeing that there was still plenty of time, Li Mu said: "Let's work together and record "Old Boy" in a few days. You will go to Yanjing to participate in the finals in a few days. Fly here then. I flew there because I was afraid that you wouldn’t be in such good condition if you didn’t have time.
"OK!" Everyone was having fun too, so they ate some takeout and recorded "Old Boy" intensively. Zhang Kexuan's voice was a bit overused, so Li Mu asked him to slow down for more than two hours, waiting for the accompaniment of "Old Boy" to finish. After recording, Zhang Kexuan's voice has almost recovered. It is at its best at this moment. In addition, they have been rehearsing the song "Old Boy" in the past few days, so the recording of this song was more difficult than before. The other two songs are faster.
After recording all three songs, everyone went to a restaurant to have a meal together. Li Mu asked them to also pay attention to Yiting.com, and to not leak the source files of their songs before Yiting.com launched them. The four of them They all knew it and nodded repeatedly.
Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At 8 o'clock tonight, Nansu Satellite TV will broadcast the rematch video. Zhao Kang, who is in Haizhou, is already ready. In the past few days, his navy has picked up a topic in the fan circle of Simple Plan: In the end Where can I listen to the official versions of "Li Bai" and "Sunflower"? The live audio that everyone listened to, the sound effect is really not good.
However, all fans said that Simple Plan has not signed with any record company, so they have not entered the studio to record songs. Everyone is waiting for their recording version to come out, but it should take some time.
Among them, many fans are analyzing the timing. There is one plan that is most recognized by fans, and that is: Simple Plan should only attract truly heavyweight record companies and them after participating in the finals in mid-August. It will take at least half a year from the time the contract is signed to the release of the first album. In other words, this year it is estimated that everyone will not have the opportunity to hear the recording version of Simple Plan's works, and it is impossible to buy the album of Simple Plan.
However, Zhao Kang's navy started a publicity offensive. They spread "grapevine news" on the Internet and told all fans of Simple Plan that the official recording version of Simple Plan's first single "Li Bai" has actually been recorded in the recording studio. It's over, including "Sunflower". These two songs will be released online soon, arousing enthusiastic discussions among fans online.
Li Mu brought the source files to the office of Yiting.com, and Kong Lingyu was waiting in the office building with two full-time technicians, one server technician, and several local part-time outsourced senior students.
Before the official launch, Li Mu tested the front and backend with everyone. Everything was very smooth and there were no problems. The most important thing is that the interface of this website is very beautiful. At least at the moment, Yiting is definitely the coolest music listening website. .
Leku songs are all sourced from the Internet. This is also the commonality of all audition websites. Li Mu knows that the accumulation of original capital is sinful, and the Internet industry is no exception. Countless millionaires in later generations rely on plagiarism, imitation, and infringement. , making money by counterfeiting, you shouldn’t feel too much shame at this time. If you keep up with the times, you won’t be criticized by everyone. The most important thing is to build Yiting first and attract users.
At eight o'clock, Nansu Satellite TV's program started.
Many people on the Internet are surfing the forum, everyone is looking forward to the performance video of Simple Plan Band, but everyone also knows that they will be the last to appear in the semi-finals, and the broadcast time will definitely be after nine o'clock.
At the same time, Zhao Kang's navy began the second round of propaganda.
