Entertainment: My band is all lead singer

With the official promotion, the number of fans of the band "Mirror Flower Water Moon" on Weibo quickly exceeded 800,000.

Jin Zixi is a senior high school student who just graduated. She performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination and achieved a good result. Before the college entrance examination, she accidentally heard the songs of "Mirror Flower Water Moon" and fell in love with this band. She would download and collect every song of this band and repeat it countless times.

The songs of "Mirror Flower Water Moon" gave her unlimited power, motivation and confidence.

Whenever "Mirror Flower Water Moon" released a new song, Jin Zixi always supported it at the first time.

This time, the release of "Mu Xia" was no exception.

Jin Zixi clicked on "Mu Xia", and then immediately went to Weibo to register an account and followed "Mirror Flower Water Moon".

As a student, she doesn't spend much time on the Internet, so she doesn't come into contact with Weibo. This time, because it was a band she liked, she did it without any hesitation.

"Muxia - Mirror Flower and Water Moon

Lead singer: Ying'er

Lyrics: Yuebai

Composer: Yuebai

Arranger: Yuebai"

"Muxia?"

Jin Zixi put on headphones and listened quietly. A cheerful and dynamic melody emerged, combining traditional instruments with modern music elements.

"The stone bridge painted with silver light

The little child playing by the bridge

The wind blows the willow branches and bends the slender waist

The sound of children's songs accompanies the long shouts

The wind is lonely on the water surface of the black boat

The thin clouds are faint and the moon is bright

The painted boat on the river is surrounded by incense

The lights are warm and the wine is hot, and the confidant invites"

Listening to the poetic lyrics, Jin Zixi seemed to have a picture in front of his eyes.

Stone bridge, little child, willow tree, black boat... The poetic lyrics depict beautiful ancient scenes, and the delicate description makes people feel as if they are in an ancient and quaint world.

In a thousand-year-old town, children playing by the bridge sang nursery rhymes, a gust of wind blew, willows swayed slightly, groups of black-sailed boats drifted on the water, and a pair of close friends on the boat on the river were smelling the fragrance and painting. All this seemed very quiet and peaceful in the summer night.

"The moon sets in the west and the sky is slightly bright

A half bottle of sake is poured to make you free

A young man in white riding a horse is charming

A beautiful woman looks back and smiles

The sound of jade flute and the bright moon

Dancing gracefully

Seeking the matchmaker under the marriage tree

Holding hands every morning and evening"

The moon gradually sets from the west sky, and the sky in the east begins to glow.

The young man in white rode a horse, full of vigor and vitality. The beautiful woman looked back and smiled gently. The sound of the jade flute was melodious and beautiful, and it contrasted with the bright moonlight. The woman danced to the music, her dance was light, and her shadow was particularly slender as she danced.

Under the marriage tree, lovers prayed for the blessing of Yue Lao together, hoping to get a good marriage. Couples held hands and were willing to spend time together, whether it was dusk or dawn.

The chorus of the song showed a romantic and classical style painting, outlining an ancient love story.

Listening to this song, Jin Zixi seemed to travel through time and space, and experienced the deep affection and beauty that transcended the times.

"I envy such love!"

Jin Zixi couldn't help but sigh, "Mirror Flower Water Moon" lyrics always make people daydream.

"The long night is filled with gentle fluorescent light

The whole city is full of splendid lights

The old streets and alleys are noisy again

The stage has a new look

The light veil covers the face and the dance is agile

The sound of the pipa lingers in the air

After singing, the guests in the West Chamber are drunk and laughing

We spend a good night together"

The second paragraph of the song is another night scene.

In the long night, the gentle fluorescent light is like stars, and the whole city is decorated with colorful lights like brocade.

In the ancient streets and alleys, there are a lot of people, and the performances on the stage complement the moonlight, adding a new style to the traditional opera.

The dancers are graceful and graceful with light veils covering their faces, and the sound of the pipa is melodious and beautiful, as if echoing between the beams. After the opera performance, the audience is still intoxicated by it, and their laughter is slightly tipsy. In the atmosphere of joy and pleasure, people toast and drink to spend a wonderful night together.

Only one song depicts three different scenes, each of which reflects the cultural charm and life interest of ancient times.

The delicate description and rich imagery are enough to show the literary skills of Yue Bai, the creator of "Mirror Flower Water Moon".

"What a beautiful word, he is worthy of being my favorite lyricist and composer of my favorite band."

Even though the music has stopped, Jin Zixi's mind is still reverberating with vivid pictures evoked by the song, and each scene deeply attracts her and touches her infinite yearning for the beauty of ancient China.

This strong yearning stirred in her heart and stimulated her desire to explore ancient culture.

Coincidentally, after the college entrance examination, her parents suggested that she go out to relax, and Jin Zixi seized this opportunity and decided to embark on a journey to explore the ancient times.

There isWith this impulse, it was out of control.

After making the decision, Jin Zixi called her parents to express her thoughts. Her parents were very supportive. After all, the family also opened their own store, so closing it for a while would not have any impact.

Besides, her daughter had such good grades in the exam, so she had to celebrate.

Jin's father was also vigorous and decisive. He closed the store in the afternoon, packed up his things and took his family to the first stop of the trip.

…

After winning the first place in the shared music platform essay contest, Jiang Yuebai and others also got their first pot of gold.

Last month, a total of three songs were released, with a total download volume of 34.48 million, including 13.46 million for "Departure", 12.78 million for "The Wind Rises", and 8.24 million for "Red Bean".

The total revenue from downloads and playbacks in June was 2.17 million, plus 600,000 from the essay contest, a total of 2.77 million.

This result is already the ceiling level for newcomers. From ancient times to the present, few newcomers can have such downloads as soon as they debut.

When those superstars and queens first debuted, a good song might only have a volume of two or three million.

Jiang Yuebai and others were very excited to get such a result. At least they had won at the starting line, which also made them more determined to persevere.

According to the platform's regulations, one download is 10 cents, and the platform and the singer split the profit 50-50, each taking 5 cents, but in fact the singer did not get that much.

Another part of the money is the money from the number of plays. The platform will calculate the money based on the number of times fans listen to the song, which is a long-term income.

In today's music scene, few singers operate independently, and most of them are attached to brokerage companies. In the entire music promotion process, brokerage companies play a vital role and require a lot of manpower and financial resources, so they will extract a certain percentage of the income from it.

In addition to brokerage companies, there are also composers, lyricists and arrangers involved in the creation of songs. Not all songs are bought out in one go. In many cases, the composers will also share the income according to the income of the song, resulting in the actual income of the singer being very small.

The actual situation will vary according to the influence and popularity of the individual.

For those pop stars with a large fan base, they often get a higher share of the revenue.

Similarly, well-known composers can also enjoy relatively generous returns.

However, for newcomers, they may get very little, or even be exploited in some cases, because in the process of using other people's fame to promote themselves, it is a blessing to not pay any fees.

In special cases, when singers become extremely famous and have a large fan base, music platforms will take the initiative to contact them to renegotiate a more favorable share plan, which usually only applies to those singers with international influence.
