Reboot 2003

Chapter 119 026: Packaging

It's normal when you think about it, the Internet is such a place, even Xu Lingling can understand it - after her father bought her an MP3 player and Chen Qin taught her to surf the Internet, the first thing Xu Lingling learned was to download music.

Now she sings the song by herself, although she doesn't know how it was put on the Internet, maybe it has gone through a long chain of communication... This word is Chen Qin who repeats it every day, and she doesn't really understand the specific meaning, but somehow she feels that she is very prepared when describing this song.

But since there is this way, it seems normal to be heard by others.

However, this matter is indeed not that simple-maybe this is just a nursery rhyme that was rushed out in a few days.

Starting from the little star that night, Chen Qin tossed in front of the computer screen for several days, and worked out a score that sounded like a nursery rhyme.

It's not difficult to sing. Chen Qin gave her the score, asked her to practice two extracurricular activities, took her to the 'secret base' on a weekend, and finished singing in one afternoon.

Although it is strange that Chen Qin plays her father, the song is not complicated at all. When singing, you can sing along with the rhythm in the earphones.

For Xu Lingling, there seems to be nothing strange about singing itself.

Compared with the songs on her own MP3, this song seems to have a slight gap in some places, but the gap is not big; it also seems to be more pleasing in some places, of course, the advantage does not seem to be too great.

And even though she sang this song herself, she didn't think she could be compared with those stars who sang pop songs. On the contrary, Chen Qin praised the usefulness of the CD she took out. This incident made her a little puzzled. The CD didn't seem to be very valuable, but Chen Qin seemed to know everything... So it was those software that made this song known to so many people?She even had such an idea.

After a while, Xu Lingling went backstage to prepare for the second dance performance.

Because the leader's speech was very boring, the parents in the audience seemed to be discussing other things——

"It used to be like that when my child sang Little Star..."

"...I saw it on the news..."

"It seems to be downloaded from the Internet..."

"...It's free, no money..."

Xu Lingling wanted to jump out and say: "Actually, I sang that song just now", so would they believe it?

But she didn't put it into action, and she had other performances on stage.

A moment later, when she was standing on the stage and performing dances with some little girls with fans, the parents below were also excitedly saying things that obviously had nothing to do with the show on stage. Xu Lingling couldn't help thinking—are you still discussing the song I sang?
Maybe she should be happy, but Xu Lingling was a little dazed. She looked through the parents' area in front and saw the third-grade students' area behind. Chen Qin didn't continue to play cards, maybe he just lost.

But he was among the noisy children, with his legs crossed, watching the performance on the stage.

So Xu Lingling suddenly got a little flustered and moved a little slower. Fortunately, everyone didn't care about the dance on stage. After a while, the dance ended, and the girls from other performances happily threw their fans backstage, feeling completely liberated—whether singing or dancing is actually the task of adults.

But that song—it's also just a show—didn't simply end like that.

At this moment, Xu Lingling had vaguely felt that feeling. Afterwards, the June [-] activities continued and ended around two o'clock.

After school, the makeup on Xu Lingling's face hadn't been removed yet, so the two adults took her and Chen Qin to the nearby Hot Pot City to pass the Lunar New Year's Day. After the end, they went to the commercial building to buy new clothes and went home happily.

In the evening, Chen Qin came again. At Xu Lingling's house, Chen Qin took out the Yu-Gi-Oh card packs he bought on the way and opened them one by one. Xu Lingling turned on the MP3 player and listened to the song again. Suddenly, the phone in the living room rang.

"Lingling, your dad's phone number!"

Grandma Xu yelled, Xu Lingling got up quickly to answer the phone, and Chen Qin followed. In the kitchen, the milk pot before going to bed at night was bubbling. Grandma Xu stood by the phone and handed the microphone to Xu Lingling.

Xu Lingling took the receiver and pressed the hands-free button on the landline.

Then Lao Xu's voice came out: "Lingling?"

"dad."

"Hey~!" Old Xu sounded very happy, "When did you go home?"

"We go home at seven!" Xu Lingling replied solemnly.

"I have good news for you. The song you sang last month did very well commercially, and its popularity has been quite high recently." Old Xu said to her seriously.

This song was mentioned again... Xu Lingling turned her head and glanced at Chen Qin, who was still holding half a stack of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in his hand, and said nothing.

When Grandma Xu heard about this, she happily told her son, "It's the song "Where Are We Going, Dad", which they played at school today."

Xu Tao did know about it: "Probably downloaded from the Internet, let's not talk about it for now, it should just happen to be someone in the school who is listening."

Grandma Xu was a little confused: "I even told a woman next to me that this was sung by my granddaughter during the day."

Xu Tao's voice was very happy: "I just need to remember it later. This song is very popular now. The CRBT alone has been downloaded 10,000+ times a month. There will be a lot of income in the future. It may not be good to be known by others."

He continued: "The boss of my company appreciates this song very much, so he spent some resources on it. Today, the company over there told me that they plan to officially shoot a MV and release an album. Although the sales volume is not expected, the Guangcai Ringtone is very popular."

Grandma Xu was surprised: "Does that mean that Lingling is going to become a big star?"

"It's kind of interesting, but this song is mainly listened to by people on the Internet. If it's a celebrity, it's also a celebrity on the Internet. This time, it's just an ordinary short movie on the Internet. The people in the galaxy said that after the holiday next month, they will go to the countryside there on the 15th to shoot for two days. It's like a summer camp."

Xu Lingling asked, "Dad, are you coming back?"

"Of course I'm back. Lingling sang a song specially for Dad. Dad will definitely come back." Old Xu's voice softened. "We can play for a week at that time, and Xiao Chen's father next door will also take Xiao Chen with him. I just told him!"

Xu Lingling said happily, "I'm going!"

The whole family laughed, and Grandma Xu followed suit. When she heard the milk overflowing behind her, she hurried to fetch the pot. But when Lao Xu called, there was another matter: "By the way, Lingling, there is one more thing."

He said: "Recently, the company went to the Copyright Bureau to register, and it has entered the final process. Both you and Xiao Chen's names have been reported."

Then he solemnly asked Xu Lingling: "But let me confirm one last time. Are you sure you are the only one who will fill in the name of the song's release, and don't add Xiao Chen?"

Grandma Xu hurriedly opened the milk pot, Xu Lingling looked back, Chen Qin was also busy helping Grandma Xu turn off the fire, but their eyes happened to meet, and Chen Qin nodded slightly to her.

Xu Lingling then said: "Dad, when you come back this time, you can tell Uncle Chen that our two families will share an even share, but in order for more people to like this song, I will be the author of the song when it is published."

Old Xu was actually a little uncertain: "Actually, I think it's better to fill in as two people. You two have been on good terms since childhood. This time, you co-wrote this song again. Maybe you can form a group in the future..."

Xu Lingling interrupted him: "I know what you mean, but this song is a song for father and daughter. When you see the author, you will think that the child at home likes the father who has gone far away. If the child who wrote this song has a good playmate and is not so lonely, maybe he will not like this song so much."

Old Xu hesitated to speak, paused, and then said: "Okay, I really don't understand you, the people from Galaxy Software also said that you can do this, and also said that the packaging method is very clever, then do as you said."

"Well, Dad has worked hard, goodbye, Dad!"

"Wait a minute," Old Xu was a little reconciled, and finally couldn't help asking, "You little girl, do you know how much money this song has earned now?"

Xu Lingling looked at Chen Qin again. Chen Qin was already helping to clean the pot.

Xu Lingling answered honestly: "I don't know."

Xu Tao took a deep breath, and then officially announced: "The total number of CRBT downloads in the first half of the month was close to 18. It is roughly estimated that the income for the content party is about 40. Although the boss's resources are used to sell so well, the company has to be divided according to the contract. But the two of us have earned at least 10 in the first half of the month."
