Chapter 18 Old Boy Online

"That's the person I miss deeply and love day and night. How should I express it? Will she accept me?"

In the recording room, Jiang Yu and Huang Bai played and sang with their guitars in their arms.

There was a video camera in front of them, and the two of them sang while pretending to be deeply intoxicated, which was really painful.

Poor bands must have no money to come up with an MV, so they can only make do with filming the video and posting it as an MV for online promotion.

Jiang Yu is relatively young, and she sings with a youthful flavor. Compared with the original version, she has less sense of vicissitudes. Huang Bai's voice is deeper and she is older.

Lu Zhiqiang stood outside the recording studio, listening to the performance of the two, nodded with satisfaction.

Before they reached an agreement with Lu Zhiqiang, Lu Zhiqiang's studio will be responsible for the production and promotion of "Old Boy", and the remuneration will be half of the copyright income of "Old Boy" for a period of 5 years.

A poor combination like the two of them has no company and no one to support them. If they want to make an album or record, they can't sell it at all.

The only thing that can be counted on is the download share of the CRBT.

But these days, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

Compared with the Internet age, at this moment, even if you are talented, the chances of getting ahead are very slim.

Because the channels are basically in the hands of TV stations and radio stations, no matter how big a star you are, in the eyes of others, you are just begging on your knees.

Have no connections, or no noble person to support, want to be famous?
Go dream.

Why was Lao Guo so popular back then?
Isn't it because Yanjing Literature and Art Radio moved his cross talk to the radio, and then Lao Guo became a hit.

Then why did you start working with the TV station again?

After Lao Guo became popular, he was also the No. [-] actor, but the TV station felt that he had the grace of supporting and supporting him, and still treated Lao Guo as a beggar on his knees, so there was no conflict.

Having said that, why did Huang Bo insist on pulling Lu Zhiqiang to issue it?
In fact, it's his connections that matter.

Lu Zhiqiang is an executive at Warner Bros. Last year, "Mouse Loves Rice" became popular thanks to his contacts in major radio stations and mobile companies.

These contacts cannot be quantified on the surface, but at critical moments, they can play an extremely important role.

Sometimes, a word from someone may be more effective than a hundred kowtows from ordinary people.

this is the truth.

……

"Welcome to your moon, my heart, I am a good man, and I am Zeng Xiaolian."

In a late-night program on Yanjing Literature and Art Radio, after the host's familiar opening, he cut to the point:
"Xiao Lian will continue to share good songs with you today. First of all, she will bring a new song "Old Boy". In that way, let the years dry up the ideals, and never return to the real me..."

The prelude to the music sounded, and the host's voice gradually faded away. Jiang Yu's affectionate and mournful singing, through electromagnetic waves, entered the night of countless sleepless people.

Wang Weili is a senior in high school this year, so tired of studying every day that he feels like vomiting.

He doesn't understand why he can't make the music he likes, but he has to entangle with various oxidation-reduction reactions every day, and there are iron rods that cut electromagnetic fields, and he is annoying when he sees them.

He thought he would never be able to figure out the work and heat energy, just like he couldn't figure out where his future was.

The only time to breathe every day is to turn on the radio before going to bed and fall asleep to those sad or soft music.

Only then can he feel that he is still himself.

"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, so many joys and sorrows"

"A boy who once aspired to the four directions, envied the geese flying south"

"The figures of each going their own way are gradually drifting away"

"Where is the future, ordinary, ah, who will give me the answer"

The singing of the radio gradually became louder. Wang Weili was lying on the bed. The room was dark with the lights off. He opened his eyes, as if a certain part of his heart had been hit.

This word is so straightforward, and it directly points to people's hearts.

"Dreams are always out of reach. Should we give up? It's another season when flowers bloom and fall. Spring, where are you?"

"Youth is like a torrent of rivers. Once you go and never come back, you can't say goodbye. Only the numb me is left without the blood of the year."

"Look at the withered flowers all over the sky, withering at the most beautiful moment, who will remember that he has been in this world"

Wang Weili listened silently until the end of the song, and tears filled the corners of his eyes.

The deep sadness in the song hit him deeply.

"Positive energy value from Wang Weili, +99!"

"Did this nice song "Old Boy" move you, and did it remind you of your youth..."

The host began to introduce the next song, but Wang Weili didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore.

The old boy, before he fell asleep, remembered the name of the song.

It's just a pity that I couldn't copy down the lyrics.

Time passed day by day, and the atmosphere in the third grade class became more and more tense.

At that time, there was a slogan, as long as you can't learn to die, learn from death.

Everyone is trying to run forward, trying to grasp the distant future.

One day during a lunch break, Wang Weili was about to lie down on the table for a nap, when suddenly the girl at the back table poked him lightly and handed over the draft paper of the calculation.

"What?" Wang Weili took it over and took a look. There was a blank space next to the densely packed mathematical formulas, and the lyrics of "Old Boy" were copied in elegant fonts.

"Did you copy down the lyrics?" Wang Weili asked, leaning sideways, "I went to the record store yesterday to find the tape but couldn't find it."

The girl nodded, "I changed my dad's cell phone ring tone to this, and then copied it."

"Let me copy it down," Wang Weili took the draft paper, took out his notebook, and decided to copy it down.

This is his habit, and the lyrics of many songs have been copied in his notebook.

He looked at the girl's draft paper, and suddenly felt a little strange. The whole article was written with a black marker pen, except for the last four sentences which were written with a red pen.

"Looking up at the Starry River"

"The one that accompanied me back then"

"Do you remember the story here?"

"If there is a tomorrow that blesses you, dear"

He thought of a possibility, and his breath became short of breath for a moment, but he didn't dare to think about it, for fear that he might make a mistake and express the wrong emotion.

Alas, girls' minds are too strange to guess at all.

……

Contrary to Jiang Yu's expectations, the song "Old Boy" did not cause any disturbance among the old men.

In other words, even if they are really moved, they will not spend money to buy ringtones.

The ones who are really willing to pay are those kids from middle school and university.

Obviously still very young, in the middle of adolescence, but was moved by a song "Old Boy" that misses youth.

In this way, through Lu Zhiqiang's operation, the song "Old Boy" was first broadcast on the radio, and then spread rapidly among young people.

Relying on word of mouth, the number of downloads of CRBT in January was quite good, reaching more than 5 times.

It is foreseeable that this is just the beginning, and the Celestial Dynasty is really too big.

It is impossible for this song to spread throughout the country in a few months.

According to Lu Zhiqiang's estimation, the peak download period should be half a year later. If you are lucky, the download volume can reach tens of millions!
Even if half of the income was eaten by the mobile company, and then half by Lu Zhiqiang's studio, the rest of the money would have to be distributed to Huang Bai [-]%.

For Jiang Yu, this is still a huge income, which can reach millions.

You must know that Yanjing’s per capita monthly income is only about 3000 yuan at this time, and the average house price is only more than 5000 yuan.

A song, changing a suite, is not a dream at all.

But now is not the time to be happy.

Due to the restriction of the copyright contract of the mobile company, the revenue share of the CRBT is settled every six months, which means that it will take half a year for Jiang Yu to see the benefits.

After half a year, we will be rich too!
Jiang Yu thought happily.

As a reborn person, struggling with the living expenses of those thousands of dollars every day is a disgrace to the reborn person.

"It's a two-hour drive," Jiang Yu paid, and boarded the plane with a bottle of iced black tea.

He has been very free these days, and at night he goes to the bar to sing with Huang Bai, and the income is not bad for 150 yuan a night.

There is basically nothing to do during the day except sleep.

So Jiang Yu found something for herself and came to the Internet cafe to promote her songs for free.

After his continuous efforts, his trumpet "Wolongsheng" can be regarded as the number one person on the Internet.

"Brothers, Kimchi Nation has recently released a film "Sex is Empty", please ask for a resource."

"Gourd baby warning."

"Wolongsheng has three seconds to reach the battlefield."

"Report, Wolongsheng has brought the gourd baby to kill, brothers, retreat quickly!"

"Lie about the military situation, drag it out, cut it off!"

Sand sculpture netizens are frantically playing tricks.

Jiang Yu saw that this was not bad, and the sky was clear in broad daylight, and he dared to ask for seeds. This is not in line with the core values.

So he decisively cut Wolongsheng's account and replied: "What are you talking about?"

Immediately following the post, it exploded.

"Fuck, Wolongsheng is really here, brothers, get out!"

"Alarm, this building has been occupied by Wolongsheng, all seeds will become gourd babies, run!"

However, there are still calm netizens who analyze rationally:
"It doesn't have to be from Wolong, it might be a fake."

"Yes, yes, Wolongsheng is so free, he can be online at any time."

Jiang Yu silently replied: "I have the seed of "Sex Is Empty", and I have shared it with you. Click to watch it. I guarantee it is not a gourd baby."

"This familiar tone is definitely Wolongsheng. That's how I was fooled last time!"

"The same goes for labor and capital. After working hard all night, it's really not a gourd baby, it's a fucking Journey to the West!"

"Negative energy value from Li Zhiqiang, +99!"

"Negative energy value from Zhang Jianmin, +99!"

Jiang Yu didn't do anything, and swiped another wave of negative energy.

Ever since he came up with the idea of ​​disguising the seeds of "Gourd Baby" as their own resources and sharing them with the old perverts, Wolongsheng's name has spread on the Internet.

Everyone knows that there is such a No. [-] person who specializes in harming old drivers.

Sometimes when Jiang Yu is not online, sand sculpture netizens will play tricks crazily, and some will even pretend to be him.

Over time, Wolongsheng's name spread among the veteran drivers.

However, the Internet at this time is not yet developed, and there are always new drivers on the road. When I just want to drive, I fall into the pit if I don’t pay attention.

"Thank you, good people have a safe life"

A novice driver clicked on the seed shared by Jiang Yu and started the download journey.

But luckily, he downloaded it in a short while.

"Ding~"

Hearing this pleasant voice, Zhao Aihua's whole body trembled.

I quickly closed the curtains, put on my headphones, excited heart, trembling hands, and secretly started the video.

I saw two big men appearing on the screen, holding a guitar, singing affectionately:

"That is the person I miss deeply and love day and night..."

"Negative energy value from Zhao Aihua, +99!"

Hey, but this song seems to be pretty good.

Zhao Aihua put away those dirty thoughts and began to enjoy the music.

I actually found out that this song "Old Boy", which was mistakenly downloaded as a resource, is surprisingly nice.

This wave is not bad!

"Positive energy value from Zhao Aihua, +30!"

After half an hour.

"Negative energy value from Zhao Aihua, +99!"

Damn, the more I think about it, the worse I get!
