Rebirth: I Want to Surf

May 31, night.

Yao Yuan drove Yu Jiajia on a small motorcycle and headed to Youxi Bar in Liangma Bridge.

Yu Jiajia complained all the way: "You are purely sick. You have to ride a motorcycle if you don't have a car. You are addicted to driving, right? I don't have big breasts."

"Don't tell me, it's really addictive after a few days of riding. Hey, you can sell me this bike."

"With a license plate and a car, one hundred thousand!"

"Why don't you go grab it, up to three thousand."

Yao Yuan really didn't just say it casually, he decided to take the time to get a motorcycle driver's license, get a Beijing A license plate, and wear big pants to wander around the city.

This is low-key.

Soon at the entrance of the bar, he tilted the front of the car and made a failed flick. He was about to overturn the car, but fortunately he stretched out his long legs and propped it firmly on the ground.

Yu Jiajia instructed: "There is a party today, and it is full of big names. If you want to receive songs, you have to rely on them. Of course, you have always been good at talking, I just remind you."

"Understand, understand!"

Entering the bar opened by Zang Tianshuo, the inside is still lively.

The second-hand rose is singing on the stage. Liang Long looks normal today, singing Northeast Errenzhuan rock. Near the stage, a large TV was newly installed, and a group of guys headed by Zang Tianshuo gathered there to chat happily.

"Reporter Yu!"

"Come on, come on, long time no see!"

"Yo, it's all here!"

Yu Jiajia smiled and greeted her familiarly.

Yao Yuan looked it over, okay, besides Zang Tianshuo and Siqin Gerile, there are also a lot of people in the circle such as Wang Piku, Ye Bei, Lao Lang, Ao Dajin, Zhang Yadong and so on.

"What day is it today? It's so lively?"

"Watch the football! The World Cup opener!"

Zang Tianshuo was still smiling all over his face, he glanced at Yao Yuan, he had already forgotten who he was. Yao Yuan took out his business card and got to know each other again.

"99 Internet Company, oh, high technology!"

"Small fights, I can't compare to you..."

Yao Yuan swept his eyes and said with a smile: "It can be called half of the Chinese music scene!"

Heck, this top hat is comfortable for everyone to wear.

Zang Tianshuo is a social person, all he cares about is face, when others give him face, he will be polite, pull Yao Yuan over immediately, and get to know each other formally.

When I arrived at Zhang Yadong, I introduced a short-haired girl next to him.

"Yadong's girlfriend, Gao Yuanyuan."

"Hello."

23-year-old Gao Yuanyuan stretched out her hand, smiling like tea.

Yao Yuan responded equally, and then glanced at Zhang Yadong, these two have been together for 2 years, right? We broke up after 3 years. Zhang Yadong was Dou Wei's younger sister Dou Ying in office, Xu Cairen in his next office, and Qu Ying in his next office.

Who will take over from Dameiyuan?

Xia Yu?

Look at this point in time again, oh, she should be filming "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" immediately...

Gao Yuanyuan didn't know that the man she met for the first time had already gone through the first half of her life in her mind. Yao Yuan maintained a commercial smirk, and greeted each one calmly, until the last one...

"Lu Zhongqiang, a music producer, graduated from Warner Records."

"Hello!"

Yao Yuan's smile became more sincere.

Lu Zhongqiang is in his 30s, with a little bald hair, and his reputation is not obvious, but he has a lot of status in the circle, mainly doing behind-the-scenes work.

Served as the music director of "The Same Song", made albums for Lao Lang and Ye Bei, and was a judge of "Super Girl".

Even after Guo Degang became popular, Lu Zhongqiang signed Guo Degang's exclusive digital copyright agency, and also produced a vocal single "Just Right" for Lao Guo.

Later, I set up an independent music label to promote local folk songs, such as Wan Xiaoli, Shanren Band, and Wild Child Balabala.

Yao Yuan originally came for Zang Tianshuo, and wanted him to help collect songs.

But when he saw that Lu Zhongqiang was getting stronger, he suddenly had a brainstorm, thought about it, and decisively shifted his target, and sat beside him, and Yu Jiajia also sat down.

Zang Tianshuo's bar calls friends and friends every day, and doesn't care if there are more. After the episode, he continues to talk about the World Cup. The opening match between France and Senegal kicked off at 7:30.

"There is almost no suspense. Although Zidane is injured, there are Henry, Trezeguet and Cisse. These are the three golden boots. Not to mention the veterans like Desailly and Djokaeff. Three generations of middle and young people, strong soldiers and strong horses..."

Ao Dasong, who has been expelled in later generations, adjusted his glasses and pointed out the country. He looked like a dog and was only short of a fan.

"There must be no suspense, it's just a question of how many wins!"

"Hey, Brazil is also a question of how many wins against China."

"It's not necessarily true. This year's Chinese team is the strongest in history. We beat Costa Rica, drew with Turkey, and lost to Brazil. We are sure to qualify..."

Yao Yuan didn't even bother to listen to a group of people babbling, and only chatted with Lu Zhongqiang.

"What is your website for?"

"Oh, I'm working on a virtual community right now."

"virtual community?"

Lu Zhongqiang didn't know why.

Yao Yuan is a guy who makes porn friends and chats!

But he had to pack himself on the outside, and started to fool around casually: "There is a theory in sociology called the theory of six degrees of separation.

In the 1960s, an expert in the United States conducted an experiment.

He randomly sent letters to some residents, in which he wrote the name of a Boston stockbroker, and asked each recipient to send the letter to a friend who he thought was closer to the stockbroker.

After the friend received the letter, he sent the letter to a friend who he thought was closer to the stockbroker. In the end, most of the letters ended up in the hands of this broker, with each letter going through an average of 6.2 passes.

So this theory means that to establish a connection between any two people in the world, only 6 people are needed at most. "

Why!

Lu Zhongqiang listened with great interest.

In this wild era of the Internet, casual swearing will be regarded as a powerful person, especially those in traditional industries, because they don't understand.

It's like listening to Ao Da Jin's "Xiao Shuo", you think he is awesome if it doesn't involve your field; once it involves your field, what do you think it is?

"The concept of virtual community comes from this, transforming the real social network into a virtual social network..."

Yao Yuan gestured and continued: "The functions of my website are constantly being developed. Netizens chat here, make friends, share diaries, photos..."

As he spoke, he changed his voice and said, "I'm currently preparing to do music."

"Can music be made online?"

"The simplest example is mp3, you know? Now the technology is getting more and more mature. For example, I got a song and converted it into mp3 format, and then sent it to the virtual community.

The website has millions of daily visits, even if one tenth of the people click on it, hundreds of thousands of people have heard the song. If I offer free downloads again, fans will flock to it, and the number of visits will be doubled..."

Hiss!

Lu Zhongqiang's heart trembled.

He is a musician with a sharp vision, and his first thought was that the cost of doing this is very low, and it is easy to spread.

The second thought, what the hell, that pirated version can't be controlled!

...

The 1990s was the golden age of the mainland music scene, and it was also a time when piracy was rampant.

In 1996, Ao Dasong wrote a song "Good Wind and Long Song" for Liu Huan, and the pirated version was rampant.

The two wanted to ask for an explanation, but they couldn't find the competent authority, so they could only go to the compound of the General Administration of Publishing. With two faces and a big man with a size of one square meter, there is not even a receptionist.

Finally, a staff member came out and said, "We can't fine people, we don't have invoices, and neither does the law enforcement team."

no way.

The right way was not going to work, so I went directly to the pirates to negotiate. The negotiation was not bossy, but low-key: "Brothers, let's sell it for 10 days first, and then let's pirate it and then go up?"

The other party said confidently: "No, I will give you 5 days!"

"5 days is not enough to pay back the cost. If the creator dies, who will go to your pirated version?"

After thinking about it, the pirates made sense, and said, "That's one week. We'll go after you one week."

This was the harsh environment at that time. Even today, copyright protection is still a problem. Otherwise, Guo Xiaosi dared to delay more than ten years before apologizing? !

There are also web articles, ahem...

Let's talk about Internet music.

In the second half of this year, Baidu took the lead in launching a free MP3 download service, followed by the establishment of major online music platforms, such as Kugou in 2003, QQ Music and Kuwo in 2005, Xiami in 2006, and so on.

Music websites have become popular, and they are all unauthorized, but those creators suffer, and no one buys albums.

However, it cannot be said that now that piracy is rampant, one should not buy copyrights. This thing is like destiny, and it can represent one's orthodoxy, which can be of great use in many cases.

Now Yao Yuan half-truthfully told Lu Zhongqiang that he was going to upload his music to the Internet, so in Lu Zhongqiang's eyes, he instantly escalated and became a big villain like a pirate.

But he (scared) finished, and laughed again: "I'm a friend of reporter Yu, I asked her to come here today, just to get to know you.

Secondly, when I launch a music service, I have to accumulate some songs first, old songs and new songs are fine. You are an authority in the industry and have a unique vision. If you are interested, let's chat in detail. "

After finishing speaking, greet Yu Jiajia in a flash.

Yu Jiajia rolled her eyes the whole time. She was looking for Zang Tianshuo, but the grandson changed his plan temporarily and focused on Lu Zhongqiang.

Lu Zhongqiang is in Warner Records, and he can get in touch with many new songs every day, and has more resources. And Yao Yuan is not only collecting songs now, but also wants to cooperate in depth.

The two greeted Zang Tianshuo, got up and left, no one cared, and their attention was on each other.

Gao Yuanyuan wasn't interested, she just cared about her relationship with Zhang Yadong's son and daughter, Wang Piku and Ye Bei drank wine, Lao Lang kept silent, there wasn't enough second-hand rose coffee, so be careful on the sidelines...

Shorty and tight knocked on the table, as if mourning: "Why did France lose? Why did they lose!"

(no more...)
