Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

"Play the song just now. The song"All the Way North" just sounded good."

Zhao Liying, who was in the passenger seat, immediately said that she wanted to listen to the song just now.

Cao Gong opened her mobile phone, then opened the file inside and played the song.

This song was not played on QQ Music. If it were played there If it is played above, it means that the song can be searched on QQ Music.

Because it has not been released yet, this song cannot be searched on QQ Music.

"can I see?"Zhao Liying took his mobile phone and asked Cao Gong if he could read it.

"Um."If she wants to see his cell phone, then just do it. It doesn't matter. She is already destined to be his anyway. What does it matter if she shows her cell phone to her future wife?

"Why are the songs you wrote for us also on this music software?"

"yes."Guan Xiaotong, who was sitting in the back, also saw it.

On the software that came with the phone, there were several songs written by Cao Gong for them.

Serious Snow, Xiaotong, and Birthday Gift, these three songs are all here.

In addition, Cao Gong previously wrote on another program"Who Can You Love with a Broken Heart" to Yang Mi?》、《"Wrong, wrong, wrong" these two songs.

There is also"Encounter" written for Liu Yifei》、《"All the Way North", this is already seven songs

"I took some time to record some time ago. Feifei said she wanted to listen to it, so I recorded it and gave her the source of the sound."

"It’s just that I haven’t shot the MV yet."Cao Gong was still driving and answered Zhao Liying's question.

"Haha~ I am indeed your idol. These songs have not been released yet, so your idol has heard them first. When fans watch the show, they have only listened to your a cappella version and recorded version. Currently, only Feifei is the one. Hear it first?"Zhao Liying laughed and joked about Cao Gong who was driving.

Cao Gong, who was driving, did not deny that this was the case.

When the show was broadcast, the audience and fans were also envious and envied Liu Yifei for having such a privilege. When

Liu Yifei said she wanted to listen, he went to record it Okay, then I’ll copy it and send it to Liu Yifei for listening.

"You have seven songs, which is almost enough to release an album."Guan Xiaotong said with a smile

"about there."It's true. There are already seven songs. Ten songs are an album."

"But why is the song you wrote,"Do You Want a Bullfight" written for basketball, not here?"

"Haha~" Guan Xiaotong asked about this, Cao Gong smiled:"That song is not a love song, so there is no recording, and the concubine may not like to listen to such songs."

"I was originally going to record it, but then I thought that I might not release an album, so I didn’t record it."

"Why don't you release an album?"Zhao Liying and Guan Xiaotong asked at the same time.

Including the audience watching the show, why is the album not released?

"I'm afraid that fans will make impulsive purchases and spend money randomly to increase sales for me."

Speaking of this, Cao Gong is also a bit difficult to deal with, because these two albums this year illustrate the problem.

"Then publishing songs on music platforms can’t be free?"Zhao Liying asked what she thought.

At the same time, this is also what many viewers and fans want to ask.

"In fact, they are all the same. For example, if I publish an album to QQ Music, the album is free and free of charge; but you also have to become a member to listen to it. The membership fee is 15 yuan a month. Once you become a member, you can listen to it, and it is the entire album. You can listen to all the songs on QQ Music, but after one month you have to renew your subscription. If you don’t renew, you can’t listen to it."

"As for the charge for my album, it’s 3 yuan per song, and 30 yuan for ten songs.."

"Or 2 yuan for a song, 20 yuan for ten songs"

"But after buying this album, even if you are not a member, you can listen to the songs in this album forever. In this way, if you have been a member for one month, even if it expires, you will not be able to listen to other songs. If you have this album of mine, you can still listen to it"

"So it's pretty much the same."Cao Gong explained it like this, and everyone understood it.

"What’s another point? When a singer releases an album on a website, the singer himself wants it to be free."

"But this is not the final decision of the singer, because the singer is only the performer of the song. The copyright of the song does not belong to the singer, but to the songwriter. The singer is not qualified to say that the album is released for free and there is no charge, because it is not He has the final say, it’s the songwriter who has the final say"

"Unless the songwriter of this song is also a singer, like me, who writes lyrics, composes, arranges + sings, then only this kind of person is qualified to say that there is no charge for releasing an album."

After Cao Gong said this, Zhao Liying and Guan Xiaotong also understood the inside story, including the audience watching the show. If Cao Gong hadn't said this, they wouldn't have known it.

"Of course, I am qualified to say that my album is released for free."

"But I’m not qualified to say that the album is posted on a music website and you don’t need a membership to listen to it."

"why? Because my album is posted to other people’s music websites, this website is to help me maintain the sound source of these songs. If the sound source is damaged, the sound source must be replaced as soon as possible."

"So here, the platform must charge fees similar to platform information channel fees, and then there are also labor cost fees. The platform must charge these fees."

"It’s not that I don’t want it to be free, it’s that I’m free. I won’t talk about it if I can’t make money from this album."

"I won’t say the cost of this album is two to three million; but if there is no charge for posting it online, then the platform will charge information channel fees and labor costs. The album is free, so there is no income, then I have to pay for the fees that the platform requires. After all this, it’s not just free, but I’m paying people to listen to the music for free."

Under his detailed explanation, the audience who watched the show all understood.

Nowadays, singers have to charge for releasing albums, or they need to be members to listen.

It's not really that the singers want to make money, but that they don't If there is a charge, once the album is released, the singer will have to pay for it.

"So why was it free before?"Guan Xiaotong thought of this

"Yes, KouKou Music from a few years ago was free to listen to, no membership required."

Zhao Liying also remembered it, it seemed like this

"In the past, it was free. On the one hand, it was to attract users to the platform; when the number of users increased, we would charge again."

"Secondly, in the past, the awareness of song copyright was not that good, and copyright charging was not mature enough."

"You see, in the 2000s, pirated copies of Zhou Jie Lun’s albums sold better than the genuine ones."

"At that time, it became clear that domestic music copyright protection was not good enough."

"It has been improved over the years, and the copyright protection law has come out. If all music platforms want to have these songs, they have to spend money to discuss copyright fees with the music companies and songwriters of these songs."

"Since the platform spends money to buy the copyright, then everyone must also spend money to listen to the music."

"Otherwise, the platform would spend its own money to buy the copyright without charging any fees. Who would do such a loss-making transaction?"

"It would be better to close the platform."(If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The audience who watched the show listened very carefully. This is also to understand some of the inside stories of the singer's album release.

And these are all things that can be said, so Cao Gong said them , the program team did not edit it out.

Instead, it was broadcast so that the audience and fans can know

"..I head all the way north, leaving the season with you~~~"

Zhao Liying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sang the song"All the Way North" along with the music.

The song was so good that many viewers posted comments urging Cao Gongyin to reveal the source.

Because if the source is not pronounced, this song can only be heard on the show.

This makes it inconvenient to listen to music while walking while commuting to get off work or school.

"You said you were so tired and could no longer fall in love with anyone~~"

"The wind is blowing on the mountain road, and all the pictures in the past are my fault~"

"I’m ashamed to count how many times I’ve hurt you.~~~"

The first verse that Zhao Liying sang was actually word for word?

Even Cao Gong, who was driving, was surprised. This sister could actually sing? It’s rare.

Guan Xiaotong in the back also cooperated with Zhao Liying, and the two sang Cao Gong's new song together.

The audience who watched the show were also attracted by the harmonious singing of the two beauties.[]

Although compared with professional singers, they are still far behind.

But if it’s just about singing and having fun on weekdays, it’s already pretty good.

……

Driving to a nearby supermarket, Cao Gong parked the car.

Then she went to the supermarket with Zhao Liying and Guan Xiaotong for a walk. As soon as they came up, Cao Gong said to them seriously:"I'm telling you, when you come to the supermarket, please control your hands. Don't (money is good)." Zhao) If you want this and that, you can’t buy any snacks."

"Haha~" The two people who were warned when they first came in also laughed.

Isn't this what I just said?Well, he was pushing a shopping cart. As soon as he arrived at the snack area, Guan Xiaotong forgot about his hand.

When I see a snack I like, I subconsciously and instinctively take it and put it in my shopping cart.

"what?"Cao Gong slapped Guan Xiaotong on the back of his hand.

"Ouch."Guan Xiaotong was beaten and even made a sound.

"What did you say just now? You can’t buy snacks. The money we spend now is not our own money on weekdays."

"Now is the staycation period, and every penny has to be planned to grow flower seedlings."

At Cao Gong's reminder, Guan Xiaotong looked at the snacks she wanted to eat with aggrieved eyes.

Then Cao Gong warned them both fiercely:"If you take snacks again, I will beat your hands into pieces. Thirty-seven points, I tell you"

"What, what thirty-seven points?"Guan Xiaotong said and asked for snacks again.

"What thirty-seven points? The beating will make your hands asymmetrical, three on the left and seven on the right. The beating will make you cry and call Honey (honey)."After Cao Gong finished speaking, he slapped Guan Xiaotong on the back of his hand.

"Oops, haha~" Guan Xiaotong was in pain from being beaten, and at the same time he was amused by Cao Gong's jokes.

"Crying and calling Hani, haha~" Zhao Liying next to her was also amused by Cao Gong's words.
