Chapter 679 "Thousand Colors" Debut Album
Qin Jue got up very early that day.
She rested in the magic bar again last night, vaguely thinking that the secret bases of the little madman scattered around the world were chain motels, and she had no intention of repenting at present.
After stretching and washing up in the bathroom, Qin Jue went out quietly.
She was in Hangzhou at this time. In addition to paying attention to the status of "Not Gray", she also checked "Qian Se".
From the beginning of June to now, "Qian Se" has been preparing for its debut for more than a month. During this period, there have been boy group stages and band performances. The number of fans "registered" on the official website has increased, and the popularity among passers-by is also good. Liu Huajun finally started to sell the first album.
Anyway, Qin Jue was free these two days, so he came to help Liu Huajun do some review work for the debut album of "Qian Se".
In fact, Yangliu Company did not copy the songs she provided 100%. If we start from the beginning, the process was roughly the original song of the Earth → Qin Jue changed the lyrics and fine-tuned the first version → Yangliu Company re-arranged the second version. The final version was very different from the original version and also had the characteristics of "Qian Se".
During the production of the debut album, the five members of "Qian Se" also participated in the re-production of the songs. Although the creative ability of several children was still immature, they knew their own and their teammates' strengths better, which added a lot of color to the songs.
These children spent a long time in the recording studio, led by musicians specially invited by Liu Huajun. The quality of each song was good, but the album was not as good as the single. First, the large number would distract attention, and second, the price was more expensive, and it was likely to lose some of the purchases by passers-by.
So Qin Jue had previously given Liu Huajun a bad... no, constructive suggestion.
"Limited?"
"Yes. Rather than saying it's limited, it's better to say it's dispersed, targeting different audiences."
Qin Jue showed a profiteer's smile, "The album is divided into three versions. The first version is for the general public and includes all the tracks, but only this; the second version only includes singing and dancing songs, and each song comes with a practice room version as a bonus; the third version only includes band songs, with sheet music and practice routines. Then make the last two versions limited, so that the prices of the three albums are similar."
"By the way, if you order all three versions together, you can get an extra straight-shot CUT for everyone. Even if you are a fan of the only one, you have to hold back or buy the whole album with other fans. What a beautiful thing."
Qin Jue smiled warmly, like a spring breeze.
Liu Huajun looked at her with an admiring look: "Good idea."
The capitalist is actually by my side.
So the two of them were in cahoots... cough, they hit it off, carefully selected fourteen songs, and included them in the first album officially released by "Qian Se".
This sales strategy of giving away bonuses has also been used by other idol groups, because Blue Star has very strict control over copyright. After successfully purchasing an electronic album, you can get the corresponding "bonus redemption code" or automatically pop up a download page. Unless the official actively announces these bonus contents, they will be subject to unified review. Even fans who have purchased the genuine version cannot upload them to various platforms. There are two main regulations here:
1. Personal sharing can only capture 90 seconds at most;
2. Individuals can upload content to the network disk for backup, but the content will not be allowed to be shared with others in the form of external link downloads. The network disk platform will first start reviewing when generating the sharing link to eliminate all possible piracy.
However, there are always policies and countermeasures. Some "wives in the circle" who have to show their content sometimes take very low-end means to bypass the review, such as adding a circle of rustic lace to indicate "I call this a second creation", and then uploading it to E-station and other places, or posting it in small pieces at the time point within the sharing range, just like this, posting all the content.
Qin Jue's view on this is very simple. Although the words "If you don't spend money, you are not a fan and should be expelled from the fan club" are really extreme, the fan groups who really spent money should also enjoy the rights of consumers. After all, they invested real money in their idols. No one's money comes from the wind. VIP customers should be treated as VIP customers. If you spend more money, you can watch more content. This is fair.
Of course, considering the huge number of passers-by, Liu Huajun also left enough room.
Although the three versions of the album of "Qian Se" are both electronic sales + physical collections, she selected two songs from the singing and dancing songs and the band songs, and added them to the cooperative sales of the music platform.
This sentence means that if someone has already recharged the membership in the music APP, they don't have to spend more money to buy additional individual songs, and can listen to these four songs directly.
So if passers-by are not interested in the whole album, or think that buying the whole album is too expensive, they can also enjoy the songs of "Qian Se".
Nowadays, idol groups either release songs in full and focus on electronic sales, or bundle them and force the release of a full album. Compared to this, although the result agreed upon by Qin Jue and Liu Huajun looks fancy, it really takes all parties into consideration and makes money in a very humane way.
…Although it will probably still be scolded as a profiteer by fans who tearfully buy all of the specials and personal direct shots. Hahahaha.
“Gentleness”, “Stubbornness”, “If”, “Song of Farewell”…”
At that time, Qin Jue listened to each song one by one. The studio version was sometimes more atmospheric than the live version, but it was a balanced and appropriate version in all aspects. The five members of "Qian Colors" had different voices, and the harmonies were harmonious and not abrupt, and Her singing skills are quite good and she has reached the threshold of a studio singer. She is relieved.
In addition to these four songs, there are two more songs in the band produced by Liu Huajun's musicians. Blue Star's entertainment strength is not bad, but Longguo is relatively weak, and it is even weaker when narrowed down to the scope of idols. . The remaining song is the original work of "Qian Colors". In order to avoid overturning and to get objective evaluation without the fan filter, the five people included a vest in the production information list, which is regarded as a little easter egg.
In terms of singing and dancing, "DON'T U EVER STOP" is undoubtedly the hit song. Another song chosen by Liu Huajun as the main song is "Ring Ding Dong". The style of this song is closer to the current dragon. The Chinese pop style has a strong sense of rhythm and brainwashing melody, but it is not easy to feel noisy. "Thousand Colors" will also show this song on the next stage, interspersed with "DON'T U".
"Why didn't you choose "Soar"?"
Qin Jue asked casually after reading the four public songs selected by Liu Huajun.
"Compared to the less interesting thing, it's better to keep it in the album honestly." Liu Huajun replied.
The four songs she provided to the music app are "DON'T U", "Ring Ding Dong", "Stubborn" and "Li Ge".
Qin Jue thought about it carefully: "Okay, Sister Liu, you have more say in this aspect."
"Soaring" was originally Qianse's debut song before she gave it to her children. The quality was actually pretty good, but it was still immature at the time and the parts were all messed up. Maybe Liu Huajun wanted Xia Song acted purely as a facade, so he gave the rap to Yang Jihan. However, due to lack of strength, he overturned on the spot in front of Qin Jue.
But now all the "Qianse" can fight, and the "xx responsibility" for them has changed from "this one is stronger and more prominent" to "they are strong in all aspects but stronger in this aspect", "Soaring" " was no longer a problem, but now that Liu Huajun had spoken, Qin Jue didn't say much, thanking her for affirming the quality of her music.
“Speaking of which, has the debut concert of ‘Thousand Colors’ been scheduled?”
Liu Huajun shook his head.
"They are still waiting for 'Not Gray'." She smiled, with both relief and helplessness in her eyes, "It's just...concert venues are usually booked half a year or even a year in advance, so whatever, let them do it. I will Find a way."
"That's it."
Qin Jue squinted his eyes, thoughtfully.
