Chapter 63 "Give Me Time for a Song"

For fourteen days, two weeks, Lin Bai devoted himself to recording new songs almost every day and every night.

Now, finally released the finished product of the first single in his singer career.

The 'child' who had been raised for half a month finally saw the light.

Lin Bai also discussed with Wu Wen early on that he should treat this first 'child' better.

So, tweeting is just the beginning.

After closing the Weibo app, Lin Bai opened the address book and started dialing.

"Mr. Xiaofeng, good morning."

"Eh, yes."

"Teacher Xiaofeng, please do me a favor and retweet my new song."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiaofeng."

Although Xiaofeng is an artist under Songle, as the owner of Songle, Wu Wen can arrange it directly, but she gave Lin Bai the opportunity.

Wu Wen only mentioned a way to maintain interpersonal relationships that can be found anywhere on the Internet: trouble the other party appropriately

More specifically, she asked Lin Bai to understand by contacting the society.

Xiaofeng was the first person in Lin Bai's inner circle to call to trouble him.

Looking at a personal name in the address book, Lin Bai quickly made a second call: "Mr. Pei, I have something to ask for your help."

"I posted a new song I sang, please forward it to Mr. Pei."

"Okay, thank you."

"..."

Pei Ming is the second one, Lin Bai is the third one who is looking for a leisurely man, and the fourth one is an oriental literati.

After that, Bai Li, Wu Gao, Qiao Linna, Mi Tao, A Tong, and Zhang Wenqing followed.

And the lyricist Wen Song,

The two new singers under the stars.

And the old man Chen Jia.

It is almost all of Lin Bai's personal connections in the music circle, who have had some intersections, and he has basically not been left behind.

Li Lanhui's Lin Bai has been in contact for a long time, and she will mention it publicly when she thinks about it.

First-line composers, gold medal composers, first-line singers, new top streamers, old heavenly kings, and first-line lyricists.

It is the most powerful group in the music circle.

They move their hands, have impact and movement.

Anyway, after Lin Bai made the phone call, Xiao Wei, who was handling affairs on the side, reported that there had been a lot of movement on Weibo.

Li Lanhui even posted a dynamic support on Huale.com a few minutes ago, after Lin Bai announced the new song.

After mobilizing the contacts he had established through songwriting, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness.

After pondering left and right, he got up and walked up to the second floor, lying on a newly added large sofa in the study, and then stared at the ceiling in a daze, his eyes gradually lost focus...

…………

Songle's omni-channel promotion of the first song of Lin Bai, a singer who changed careers, was released by converting video data from the recording studio to MV.

Similar to Xiaofeng's debut diary vlog.

This is the result of joint discussions between Lin Bai, Wu Wen and the relevant teams of Sun Le.

At the same time, the official version of the original soundtrack audio has been uploaded to major music platforms simultaneously.

Adopt the standard fee template for new singers and new songs in the industry:

Music platform member song list collection + free trial listening for the first three days

In addition, because Lin Bai arranged the lyrics and music, he signed a special tripartite contract with Song Le.

To put it simply, Lin Bai and Song Le share the part that belongs to the songwriter in an 8:2 ratio.

That is to say, Songle does not directly take 20% of the total revenue of the song.

For example, assuming that a total of 100 million general traffic income has been obtained, then the singer Lin Bai received:
{100-30-(100*0.5)}*0.8
16 million.

And Song Le can only be divided into 4.

It is necessary to remove the songwriter authorization fee of 30 yuan, and the total traffic income is directly divided into 50% of the songwriter.

Just looking at the traffic share, songwriters earn more than singers.

However, most singers have general commercial income such as commercial performances, and the upper limit of the proportion of songwriters in this regard is generally 25%.

The special case will be a little higher up to 30%, and the most special case is at most 35%.

Lin Bai has signed all three different ratios, and 25% has become the norm.

Of course!The cost of songs of different levels is different. For example, the previous two saliva songs are not very valuable...

…………

With Song Le's promotion regardless of cost, and with the support of Lin Bai's connections in the mobilization circle, countless netizens knew about Lin Bai's change of career.

Also saw the MV of the first single.

Although the MV production is simple, Song Le still showed his professional ability...

The camera first stopped in an empty room, and then turned to a figure sitting on a stool.

The picture gradually zooms in and changes, focusing on Lin Bai's sideways, expressing Lin Bai's melancholy through the language of the lens.

Immediately, electronically synthesized sound effects sounded.

As the picture rotated, Lin Bai got up and walked to the microphone, closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, the camera freezes for a moment.

Immediately Lin Bai began to sing:
"The sky was soaked by the rain, and it was destroyed very carefully. You said you don't understand, why are you holding hands at this time..."

"..."

A unique rhythm and blues rock style flows out with the lyrics and the dub of various instruments.

Then the camera turned again, and it was Lin Bai who rested his chin on his hands outside the recording studio looking at Lin Bai who was holding the microphone with both hands in the recording studio.

Immediately entering the chorus part of the song, Lin Bai in the recording studio lowered his head slightly, his eyes were clear:

"Can you give me time for a song, hold that hug forever..."

"..."

In the picture, Lin Bai outside the recording room opened the door and walked into the recording studio, and the two Lin Bai overlapped.

Enter the second chorus:
"Could you give me time for a song, oh~ listen to the story until the end before saying goodbye..."

"..."

"You sent my tears, let it stay in the rainy day, oh~ I crossed the line you drew and I set the end of courage..."

And then quickly turned to rap:
"You said I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have said that I love you at this moment,...

How can I prove that I have no strength, I only have one day of memory..."

In the epilogue, the song ends, and then the camera keeps zooming in on the character of Lin Bai, and finally focuses on his head area.

At the same time, Lin Bai looked directly at the camera: "Give me time for a song, thank you."

The MV ends here.

…………

Lin Bai finally selected Jay Chou's "Give Me Time for a Song" from the inventory.

There are many factors to be weighed, including the title of the song, the first song, the style of the song, etc., before it is finally decided.

This song is labeled as having a medium-to-high difficulty in singing, and it requires more singing skills.

For example, Wu Wen even wanted to persuade Lin Bai to lower her requirements appropriately.

For example, later, Lin Bai tried many times to upgrade the vocal performance attribute to LV3, and finally did it all at once.

According to the standard level of singers, basically weak second-tier singers can be perfectly controlled.

This world sets very fine standards for the ability of artists, and each artist profession has professional standards.

For example, if a singer is not good at singing, it is difficult to be recognized by the public even if the lyrics and music are against the sky.

Even if an idol star's singing skills are not good, it is impossible to become a second-tier singer by relying on traffic.

On the contrary, if the professional ability or talent is strong enough, it is almost inevitable to be promoted to the first line or even to the top level.

For example, Lin Bai is now V3 of Huale.com, and his composition level has not been fully improved. People in the circle have regarded him as a gold medal.

Because Lin Bai's composition talent is obviously very strong, it just needs time to fully improve, as for the lyrics... debut is the pinnacle!

Therefore, for Lin Bai, the only difference between the gold medal is time and the number of works...

Finally, although Lin Bai has all the content of "Give Me Time for a Song", including Jay Chou's expensive MV;

But he still chose to synthesize opinions from all sides and express himself in his own way.

Including the singing style is also different, after all, there is no exactly the same voice.

Of course, more important than these side details is the audience's attitude towards the song.

At this time, most people have listened to the song through different channels, and they really need to find emotional resonance on the Weibo platform.

Then, they opened Weibo and immediately saw the hot topic——

#林白新歌-
: Don’t be impatient, the reason will be described later, it is indeed an old-fashioned stalk to clearly draw lines for artists, but there is a little setting added.

PS：《给我一首歌的时间》00~09 top100排名77位，周董11首上榜歌中排名最低的一首~
(Only count Jay Chou's personal singing, not counting the chorus, composing, etc. Counting those may exceed 15 or 6 songs?)

Gan!Mengxin has reason to suspect that Jay Chou is cheating!
